VACAVILLE — It is not just about getting a hot Thanksgiving meal for many of the more than 800 individuals who received just that Thursday from the Vacaville Veterans. “Some of them tell us their stories,” said Olivia Granada, 11, who along with her friend, Delaney Dion, 11, was helping her mother, Melissa Courville, deliver some of the meals prepared by the veterans and the more than 200 volunteers who prepared, assembled and got the meals out. “Some of them had lost their husbands from going into the service,” Granada said.

times are not easy. Dion remembers one family in particular. “We knocked on the door and this 14-yearold boy came to the door and his brothers and

sisters came running up and were so excited,” she recalled. When the volunteers asked if their mother was home, they learned she was taking her dialysis treatment and the meals being delivered were the children’s Thanksgiving dinner. Courville said she learned about the veterans meal program from her father, Steve Alexander, a 13-year veteran of the U.S. Navy, but got involved mostly because of a friend, Tammy Alexander, an Army veteran, who also volunteers at the event along with her son, Micha. Courville said she understands what it is like

ROCKVILLE — There was a lot of gratitude being expressed Thursday at the 13th annual Solano Turkey Trot at Solano Community College. Not surprising since it was Thanksgiving – a day when blessings are supposed to be held up in appreciation and praise. Certainly there was no bigger smile than the one shining from Ann Marie Cody of Sunnyvale, who with an unofficial time of 45 minutes and 45 seconds over the 10K road course (6.2 miles) shattered the Guinness World Records mark for the distance while pushing triplets. The previous mark, held by a Montana mom with three children of different ages, was 47:10. “It won’t be official until I send in my evidence, and it will take a couple of months,” Cody said. The evidence includes a video of her running in the race, as well as photos taken along the route by a friend. “We were a little lonely for the first half (of the race),” said Cody, who along with her trio of

Years ago I made A Partial Album Of Topics Discussed In This Group Numerous Times that included Dave’s Giant Hamburgers, Sno-Man DriveIn, Johnson’s Bakery, Ardan, Foster’s Old Fashion Freeze, the water tower by Armijo, Fairfield Bowl, cruising, Gravity is a Push and many, many more. The object was not to discourage anyone from sharing about them, just to let them know that usually they weren’t bringing something brandnew to the group of more than 10,000 people, but that they can absolutely share their remembrances. It is exceedingly rare that I come across something that I have never heard anyone talk about before. Phillip’s Skating Rink is one of those things.

That would be in the general area of where the current Solano County Probation Offices are located.

Dead Skunk in the Newspaper: June 27, 1940 This all caps headline jumped out at me “RABID SKUNK KILLED NEAR ELMIRA AFTER ATTACKING ROBERT M’CRORY.” Here is most of the article: “On the Robert McCory ranch near Elmira another rabies infected skunk was killed last Friday after chasing Mr. McCrory for some distance before he was able to club the animal to death. “The incident was reported

to County Poundmaster J.M. Talbert who secured the head of the skunk and sent it to the University of California laboratory. Investigation showed the animal badly infected with rabies. “McCrory, 70, explains that he was in the field on his ranch when attacked by the furious little animal. He states that, not wanting to come into too close contact with the rear end of his antagonist he started a retreat and was almost overtaken when he managed to lay hands on a stick that happened to be in his path and by the aid of the weapon managed to exterminate the beast before being bitten or unpleasantly branded.” Now of course I chuckled at such an incident being deemed newsworthy at all, but wait, there’s more. Not only was it newsworthy, it was smack dab in the center of the front page. Things have changed in Fairfield slightly since then.

Study: Albatrosses may be pushed to ‘divorce’ because of climate change farther to feed. The harsher conditions in turn can effect hormone levels and make it less likely that chicks will survive. “For the first time, to our knowledge, we document the disruptive effects of challenging environmental conditions on the breeding processes of a monogamous population, potentially mediated by higher reproductive costs, changes in phenology and physiological stress,” the study reported. “Environmentally driven divorce may therefore represent an overlooked consequence of global change.” To reach this conclusion, researchers studied a wild population of 15,500 breeding blackbrowed albatross pairs in the Falkland Islands over a 15-year period. (The study discounted cases in which one member of a couple died.) The average annual “divorce rate,” they found, was 3.7%, and could be as low as 0.8% and as high as 7.7%. Couples, they already knew, were statistically more likely to break up after breeding failures, as the birds went in search of more compatible mating partners. But even when accounting for breeding failures and fish shortages, in

The Washington Post “It is a truth universally acknowledged,” Jane Austen wrote in the opening lines of “Pride and Prejudice,” “that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” Social mores may have shifted since the early 19th century, but the maxim seems still to hold true for albatrosses, very large seabirds that live mostly in the Southern Hemisphere and are known as some of the world’s most reliably monogamous creatures. Climate change and warming water, however, have disrupted the good fortune of some albatrosses and could lead to a rise in partners breaking up, according to a study published Wednesday by New Zealand’s Royal Society, which provides funding and policy advice in areas involving the sciences and humanities. “The probability of divorce was directly affected by the environment, increasing in years with warm sea surface temperature anomalies,” the report found. Warmer water leads to population declines among fish, which means the birds have to spend more time and travel

years in which sea surface temperatures rose, “the probability of divorce increased,” according to the study. In 2017, for example, surface seawater temperatures were unusually high – and the divorce rate spiked to nearly 8%. One possible explanation for the spike in divorces, Francesco Ventura, a researcher at University of Lisbon and co-author of the Royal Society study, told the Guardian, is that climate change increases stress on albatross relationships. “We propose this partner-blaming hypothesis – with which a stressed female might feel this physiological stress, and attribute these higher stress levels to a poor performance of the male,” he said. Researchers also found that “males are likely less prone to initiate divorce than females” because the latter had a higher chance of breeding with a new mate than the former. In good times, albatrosses can live 50 to 60 years. However, in recent years the seabird’s populations have been plummeting. A 2018 study found that of 22 recognized species of the bird, 18 had seen population declines. Studies have previously

linked this phenomenon to climate change’s effect on albatross feeding patterns and nesting sites, in addition to bycatch, when the birds unintentionally become trapped in large fishing nets.

Police arrest Vallejo woman after failed mass-theft try Daily Republic Staff

VALLEJO — Police arrested a Vallejo woman after what they described as a failed mass retail theft attempt late Sunday in downtown Palo Alto. Imani K. Barnes, 21, was booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail on suspicion of felony allegations of attempted commercial burglary and criminal conspiracy, according to a press release barnes out of Palo Alto. Also jailed was Keyonni M. Jones, 20, of Richmond. The arrests of the two women were announced Wednesday. Police suspect Barnes and Jones were among a group of about 30 to 40 people to arrive in about 20 cars shortly after 11:15 p.m. Sunday at a luxury consignment store called The RealReal on University Avenue. A private security guard hired by the store witnessed the arrival and called police, who arrived before the wouldbe thieves could break through the store’s glass front doors and as they were fleeing from the scene. An officer stopped one of the vehicles in Menlo Park and found at least $15,000 worth of stolen property – still on clothes hangers with price tags and security sensors still attached – from

FAIRFIELD — Children are faring better than adults did as the Covid-19 vaccinations are introduced into their age group. That does not surprise Dr. Bela Matyas, the Solano County public health officer, because the disease has shown from the beginning that it is hitting hardest more elderly and immunocompromised populations. “We definitely have the sore arms, and I would say the average kid has been experiencing a little fatigue the day after getting the shot,” Matyas said about 5- to 11-year-olds getting Covid vaccinations. “But we have seen far fewer side effects in the children as we saw in adults,” he said. Matyas’ assurances come as the county is expanding vaccinations to include elementary and middle school campus clinics. Similarly, the county also is adding pop-up clinics at senior living facilities outside the long-term care centers. It is also the message he will pass along to a follow-up Covid-19 forum Dec. 8 in Vacaville. The first was mostly attended by parents with concerns about their children being vaccinated, and largely opposed to a state mandate for school vaccinations likely to be implemented in July or August. “All the school districts have requested it,” Matyas said. “And what we are doing, district by district, is we are choosing the schools whose students represent communities of need with low vaccina-

The clothing was found to be the bounty from a theft earlier Sunday night at The RealReal store in Lakespur, police report. Police are working to identify the others who tried to break into the Palo Alto store and to determine if any connections exist between them and those who have committed other similar crimes mass-theft in other Bay Area communities. One of those incidents occurred four days earlier in Fairfield. A 19-year-old Antioch man and two teenage boys, ages 16 and 17, who police suspect robbed the Daniel’s Jewelers store Nov. 17 at the Solano Town Center on Travis Boulevard, were arrested the next day with police recovering $50,000 worth of stolen jewelry. 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. The males entered the mall, went into Daniel’s Jewelers, broke the glass counters with hammers and bats and stole various items. They fled with the stolen jewelry. No one was injured.

Pot tax revenue for California climbs above $3 billion Todd R. Hansen

FAIRFIELD — The $322.34 million in thirdquarter cannabis tax revenue took California’s total for the year to $972.26 million and to $3.12 billion since marijuana was legalized for recreational use. The third-quarter revenue is 6.6% less the adjusted than $345.12 million in tax revenue received during the second quarter of the year, the state Department of Tax and Fee Administration reported. It is only the second quarter

that generated less in tax revenue than in the previous three months. The revenue, from July through September, breaks down as $168.97 million from the excise tax, $110.96 million in sales tax and $42.41 million generated from cultivation taxes, the state reported. The figure does not include the tax revenues generated by each jurisdiction. Since January 2018, the state has received $1.58 billion from cannabis See Revenue, Page A4

The county reported 11.1% of children in the 5-11 age group have received a vaccine shot. The vaccination rate for all residents 5 or older is at 75%, while 65% of that population is fully vaccinated. There have been 54,531 booster shots administered. The county reported 88 new cases since Monday’s report – 73 in the two-day period – taking the pandemic total to 46,700.

Bay Area air district asks locals not to burn wood on Thanksgiving weekend Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County and other Bay Area residents are being asked not to burn wood on Thanksgiving Day “to help prevent air pollution from rising to unhealthy levels.” The Bay Area Air Quality Management District sent out the request Wednesday. “We are asking Bay Area residents to help keep air pollution low

this Thanksgiving by not burning wood indoors or outdoors,” Jack Broadbent, executive officer of the air district, said in a statement. “If we refrain from having a fire this Thanksgiving, we can all enjoy a healthier, happier holiday weekend.” The district reports that wood smoke “contains fine particles and carcinogenic substances that make the air harmful to breathe. Wood smoke is the major source of air

pollution in the Bay Area in the wintertime and is especially harmful to children, the elderly and people with respiratory conditions.” There are 1.4 million fireplaces and wood stoves in the Bay Area, “contributing about one-third of the harmful fine particulate pollution in the air” during the winter, the air district reported. “One fireplace burning can pollute an entire neighborhood. Exposure

to wood smoke – like cigarette smoke – has been linked to serious respiratory illnesses and even increased risk of heart attacks. Breathing fine particulates accounts for more than 90% of premature deaths related to air pollution,” the district reported. The district covers all or part of the nine Bay Area counties, including the Fairfield-Suisun City and Vallejo-Benicia regions of Solano County.

Epic journey of gray wolf OR-93 comes to tragic end in SoCal Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — Wolf advocates across the nation were brooding over the bad news this week: The epic journey of a lone gray wolf that ventured from Oregon to the very edge of Southern California’s crowded suburbs in search of territory and female mates had ended in a vehicle collision near Interstate 5 in the Kern County town of Lebec. “OR-93’s relentless wandering gave us hope, inspiration and a brief glimpse at what it would be like to see wolves running free across California again,” said Amaroq Weiss, a spokeswoman for the Center for Biological Diversity. “I only wish we could have offered him a safer world.” California’s most adventurous wolf was found dead on the afternoon of Nov. 10 by a truck driver who noticed the carcass on a dirt trail near a frontage road running parallel to Interstate 5, officials said. A state game warden collected the remains, which were transported to the Wildlife Health Laboratory in Rancho Cordova, California, where the necropsy was performed. A necropsy conducted on the carcass, which was found roughly

50 miles north of Los Angeles, determined that OR-93 had suffered “significant tissue trauma to the left rear leg, a dislocated knee and soft tissue trauma to the abdomen,” the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said Wednesday. The agency also said it “determined the wolf died from trauma consistent with vehicle strike and does not suspect foul play.” Pushed by an evolutionary gamble to pass off his genetic information to new generations of wolves in a region where they had not been seen for more than 200 years, OR-93’s record-breaking travels in California had signaled the potential return of a predatory force that some conservationists hoped would repair out-of-balance wildlands and make them more stable and diverse. But it also increased the odds that OR-93 would wander into trouble on highways, in suburbs or on ranchlands where he might be mistaken for an unusually large coyote and trapped and shot as a threat to livestock. Weiss was among wolf advocates and wolf haters alike who had been keeping their eyes peeled for an unusually large canine predator on See Wolf, Page A9

Fairfield, Suisun City add formal, free Hanukkah celebrations Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County recently experienced its own Hanukkah miracle – two, actually – when officials from the cities of Fairfield and Suisun independently contacted Chabad of Solano County asking if first-ever official city-sponsored public Hanukkah events could be produced in those cities this year. typically takes It someone from the Jewish community weeks or months to get the appropriate officials to OK such an event, if they ever do. Fairfield City Councilwoman Catherine Moy earlier this year mentioned this desire to local Jewish community member Joseph Levy, who put her in touch with Chabad of Solano County

Rabbi Chaim Zaklos, setting that plan in motion. Possibly even more miraculous, Zaklos said, was when he received a call out of the blue this past Friday from a Suisun City Council representative, making a similar request. “Our office got a call from the city saying they got a menorah and asking if we can help arrange an appropriate event,” Zaklos said in a press release. Zaklos happily obliged both so, now there are free, family friendly events planned in those cities. Fairfield will be the host at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at 675 Texas St. There will be holiday music and foods such as hot latkes, Hanukkah cookies and donuts. Suisun City’s is set for 5 p.m. Thursday at the waterfront. The offerings will be basically the same

as those in Fairfield. Hanukkah being an eight-night holiday, celebrating the reclaiming and rededicating of the temple in Jerusalem by the Maccabees in 200 BCE, makes producing multiple events possible and appropriate. This year’s eight nights of Hanukkah run from Sunday through Dec. 5. Rabbi Chaim and Rebbetzin Aidel Zaklos first set up their Vacaville Chabad House in 2009, and produced the first Menorah on Main event there that same year. Other events have been added over time, as well, including an annual event at Travis Air Force Base and one at the Jelly Belly Candy Company factory, among others. This year’s Solano County Hanukkah lineup of events includes: n Sunday: Menorah

Wreath Project seeks volunteers for bough, wreath placements at Dixon cemetery Daily Republic Staff

Donors around the world give more than $900K to Strickland Tribune Content Agency KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A GoFundMe fundraiser to benefit Kevin Strickland grew to more than $900,000 two days after he was exonerated in a 1978 triple murder that he has always said he did not commit. The Midwest Innocence Project set up the online fundraiser in June, saying at the time it was confident he would be released but would face “many hurdles adjusting to life” on the outside. The organization was seeking donations to help Strickland pay for basic necessities and a place to live. By noon Wednesday, $381,616 had been from more raised than 6,500 donations, well in excess of the $150,000 goal listed. That goal was adjusted to $430,000. By 4 p.m., the fundraiser again exceeded its goal with $434,133 in donations given by more than 7,500 people. It ballooned to more than $690,000 by Wednesday night. By 8 a.m. Thursday, it rose to $821,108. And

as of noon Thursday, the fundraiser had received $900,742 in donations from 15,400 people. Tricia Rojo Bushnell, executive director at the Midwest Innocence Project, said the response has been overwhelming. She said every time she looks it is another surprise. “I think it’s a reminder of our shared humanity and how much people really believe that the wrongfully convicted should be compensated, right?” she said. The response is a testament that people care about justice, she said. “The state of Missouri isn’t going to pay Kevin Strickland, but you know, strangers from all around the world are,” Rojo Bushnell said. Under Missouri’s compensation law, only prisoners who prove their innocence through a specific DNA testing statute are eligible for payments. Exonerees like Strickland have relied on nonprofits and other people who have been released from prison to help them build back their lives.

DIXON — Plans are taking shape for the annual holiday bough and wreath placements at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery. The Wreath Project raises money and collects donations with which to purchase enough boughs exclusively for the cemetery. The goal is to have one bough for each veteran’s gravesite. There are several opportunities for volunteer service hours during December and January and the public is invited to help. Boughs will be available from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dec. 4-5 at the national cemetery and may be placed at gravesites prior to the public ceremony Dec. 11. Wreaths will also be available from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 6-10 at Grow West, 8751 Pedrick Road; from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 6-9 at the Dixon Chamber of Commerce, 220 N. Jefferson St.; and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 6-10 at Stocking Real Estate, 7 E. Main St., Suite D. Volunteers are being sought to help with the mass placement Dec. 10-11. Teenagers and adult volunteers will unload boxes from trucks at 3 p.m. at the cemetery. The process typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes. Volunteers of all ages are invited to help place 27,000 boughs beginning at 8 a.m. Dec. 11. Once the placement is completed, volunteers with pickups

Placement and cleanup were completed within two hours in 2020. The placement will take place rain or shine. Phase 2 involves vol-

unteers placing about wreaths from 1,100 Wreaths Across America starting at 9 a.m. Dec. 18. All ages are welcome. Finally, volunteers are needed starting

at 7:30 a.m. Jan. 15 to move the boughs and wreaths to the street for collection and disposal. This process typically takes about 90 minutes. The cemetery is located at 5810 Midway Road. Donations are accepted year-round. Checks may be sent to Remember AVet.net, PO Box 773, Winters, CA 95694. Call 707-249-5852 for questions about the R e m e m b e r AVe t . n e t Wreath Project. Send an email to wreathproject@ yahoo.com to be added to the email group for regular Wreath Project updates and volunteer opportunities as needed by the cemetery.

controlling. In an effort to retain control, abuse develops. A way out is to recognize controlling behaviors in others (and ourselves) in order to change ourselves. Not only spouses, but family and friends. A good motivation for her might be that she is allowing her children to learn that this behavior is “normal” as well. Until the pattern is seen, it cannot be changed. An excellent resource is a book “Stop Controlling Me! What to Do When Someone You Love Has Too Much Power Over You” by Richard J. Stenack Ph.D. She should also get in touch with her local domestic abuse center or by calling the domestic abuse hotline at 800-799-SAFE. I broke the pattern, and she can, too. Hope this helps. — Concerned Dear Concerned: Thank you for your valuable perspective. It’s true that the mother of “Full-Grown Adult” is showing controlling behavior, and this might be an indicator of further abuse. The resources you suggest will surely be helpful to her and/or to other readers who suffer due to controlling spouses, friends or family members.

Do you agree with West’s calls, and what should he lead? Nowadays, “everyone” bids one spade, hoping partner does not respond in diamonds. Here, though, the auction accelerated rapidly, putting South on the spot. But she remembered what you call an eight-card suit – trumps! In theory, five diamonds was a losing decision because four spades was going down; the defenders would have taken three hearts and one spade. Still, five diamonds had not failed yet.

China’s top movie ever is war epic about U.S. defeat Bloomberg Forget James Bond’s gadgets, the super cars of “Fast and Furious” or “Dune”’s stunning landscapes – when it comes to box office smash hits, China’s Communist Party has nailed it this year. “The Battle at Lake Changjin,” a 176-minute epic starring Chinese actor Wu Jing, isn’t only the highest grossing film worldwide so far in 2021 but has become China’s biggest film ever – toppling 2017’s “Wolf Warrior 2,” which also stars Wu – according to ticketing platform Maoyan Entertainment. The movie was commissioned by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China,

otherwise known as the propaganda department. The film tells the story of how People’s Volunteer Army (PVA) troops entered North Korea and valiantly defeated the Americans mid-last century. Since its September 30 release during China’s National Day, it has raked in a hefty $891 million, including presale tickets, according to Maoyan. The movie’s release came after years of heightened tensions between the U.S. and China amid a protracted trade war and questions about Beijing’s early handling of Covid-19, with mainland borders remaining all but shut to outsiders amid pandemic restrictions.

Runner From Page One 5-year-olds were one of the first participants on the course. “But there were a lot of things for them to look at.” Topping that list was a monster truck. After the halfway mark, and heading back to the starting area, Cody said she began seeing the other runners going out, and they cheered her on to the finish. “I’ve always run recreationally, but didn’t get into competitive road racing until they were born, actually,” said Cody, who is an astronomer for NASA in Mountain View. The Turkey Trot was her fourth 10K pushing her children. She also has completed one full marathon – 26.2 miles – and a pair of half-marathons. Her next event will be the California International Marathon in Sacramento, at which she will partner with another runner to push a participant in a wheelchair. Much of the thanks heard around the staging area this year was for being able to run an inperson event, after a 2020 virtual event due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Not having an actual race could have meant a financial hit on organizations like the local Meals on Wheels that uses money raised at the Turkey Trot for critical gap funding services. The Salvation Army Kroc Center is another principal recipient. Laurie Hartmann, the executive director of Meals on Wheels Solano County, called the estimated $15,000 the group will get “crucial.” “Unrestricted money from events like this provide the gap funding between federal funding and (other sources),” Hartmann said. The group serves more than 300,000 meals to more than 1,600 residents each year. “And a lot of that comes from the sponsors,” Hart-

mann said, quick to give a particular shoutout to Medic Ambulance, the presenting sponsor for the Turkey Trot, which also provided the same level of support last year despite the event being virtual. Nolan Gerlach of Vacaville was happy to be back on the 5K course after the year hiatus. This was his third Turkey Trot and he wanted to win his race. Things looked pretty good until the end, he said. That is when Jonathan Charlesworth made his move and, Gerlach said, “crushed me.” Charlesworth, of San Francisco, finished in an unofficial time of 15:38. Gerlach’s time was 15:51. Jason Hefner, who said the race has become a tradition as he comes back from Seattle to Solano County each year to visit family for the holiday, won the 10K race on the men’s side with a time of 35:15. While many people were bundled up, most of the runners seemed delighted by the conditions. Each of the participants was given a burnt orange-color, longsleeve shirt. “Normally it’s a little cooler,” Hefner said. The results from all the races were not immediately available. Who won the races really did not mean anything to Kyle Stewart, who has 12 marathons on his resume, his last when he was 66. But he was not running Thursday. “I’m 83 years old. I’m pretty happy when I can get to the bathroom in the morning,” Stewart said. “I’m here to support a neighbor of mine who just recently learned she is in remission,” said Stewart, noting the woman had been treated for cancer for four years and took up running as part of her regimen. The two live in the Sacramento area. Stewart declined to reveal his friend’s name because he did not have her permission, but he did say he was “thankful that she is cancer-free and so full of life.”

Runners kick off the 2021 Thanksgiving Turkey Trot 5K race/walk at Solano Community College in rural Fairfield, Thursday.

Suisun From Page One Kris Lofthus, director of the city agency, said in a statement. “We understand that people may need food assistance or may not have a family to gather with on Thanksgiv-

ing, and if we can provide a bit of happiness, we are happy to help.” Planning for next year’s Senior Thanksgiving Lunch has now begun, with hopes that in addition to delivering meals, there also will be an in-person event at the Joseph A. Nelson Community Center.

Council From Page One as one to “dot the I’s and cross the T’s.” Chatwin, 54, was hired in late 2019. His first day on the job was Dec. 30, 2019. He served since October 2016 as the city manager in Imperial prior to accepting the job as chief executive in Fairfield. He has led the city through a global pandemic that struck the state less than three months into his tenure. During that time he has presided over a restructure that saw the city sever ties with the Fairfield Main Sreet Association to produce various community events, bringing coordination of those events in-house. He was also in charge as consultants worked with city staff and the community to update the city’s longterm blueprint for growth, the General Plan. price That process proved controversial when consultants presented the Planning Commission and the City Council with three alternative ideas to review – all of which called for some level of city expansion into rural Suisun Valley. Dozens of people spoke against any such land grabs in Suisun Valley during marathon public hearings Oct. 27 before the Planning Commission and Nov. 2 before the City Council. Members of the council made clear there was no desire by the council to encroach on Suisun Valley and called for the development of other plans to consider that leave Suisun Valley intact. The first overtly public indication of a possible rift between Chatwin and the council occurred Sept. 7 when the council rejected a plan by Chatwin to change how the issue of homelessness is handled by city staff. Bertani suggested how the city addresses homelessness is a policy issue rather than a matter of how policy is implemented. Longtime residents serving on the council told Chatwin they had been in the trenches since the beginning. Chatwin listened and said he appreciated the feedback and would review the issue. He also offered an ominous statement. “In my interview (for the city manager’s job) we talked about this exact crossroads,” Chatwin told the council. Mayor Harry Price spoke of that discussion

Meals From Page One to be in need. “So I think it is a great opportunity to teach (the girls) about giving back to the community,” Courville said. This year’s meal consisted of turkey, ham, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans with onion and bacon, rolls and pieces of pie or cake for dessert. Planning started months ago, Lynn Jewell said. “We had hoped to go in-house this year, but we decided four or five months ago it probably wasn’t a good idea,” said Jewell, adding that the annual Christmas meal also will be delivery-only. The veterans will begin accepting donations Dec. 6 for that event. Not having people come to the memorial hall for their meals is still tough, Jewell said, but not as bad as last year,

The Fairfield City Council voted to remove Stefan Chatwin as city manager, Wednesday. shortly after Chatwin was hired but before Chatwin’s first day on the job. Asked by the Daily Republic if the city manager works through the council, or the council works through the city manager, Price said there was no hesitation in Chatwin’s answer. “His answer was, ‘If I’m the city manager, you work through me.’ . . . You don’t need five city managers who are elected,” Price said. There were five council members at the time. The council now has seven members after the city shifted to districtbased voting. Moy said in a telephone interview Thursday she voted against Chatwin’s departure because other council members did not sway her that it was time for the city to seek a new top executive. She said political considerations factored into the decision, which she said is “not good for Fairfield.” She said “it’s important to remember” all Chatwin has done during his time as city manager. She listed steering the city through the pandemic, all with an eye to safety for staff and others – to the point where she said city staff experienced few cases and no deaths related to Covid-19; and efforts to revitalize the downtown area that she said are already taking place and will pay dividends in five to 10 years as various projects are completed. “That was all stuff all of us wanted,” Moy said of her fellow council members, “and it didn’t get done until now.” Moy said any attempt to link Chatwin’s departure to the development of the General Plan update is off the mark. “The General Plan debacle is a red herring,” Moy said. “The only way to pin that on him is to lie. When some of his bosses tell him to do something, and the veterans group also expanded its footprint to include delivery to Benicia and Rio Vista. Meals also are being delivered to the Vacaville Police Department for the first time so people who have to work on the holiday get a traditional dinner as well. In all, meals will go out to about 200 locations. “We have two senior complexes that we deliver to: one that gets 65 meals and one that gets 35,” said Jewell, adding that homeless shelters also get deliveries. “And 100 go out to Travis.” That includes stops at the guard shacks, the hospital, operations centers and even out to the flight line. And, of course, many of the meals go out to people Jewell refers to as regulars – individuals who would have likely come to the veterans hall if it had been open. Jewell received a call early Thursday from a woman who was in a complete panic. She had ordered a meal to be

he has to do it.” Moy did not specify who may have directed Chatwin to allow the process to update the General Plan to include bringing selected, relatively small portions of Suisun Valley into the city, but did say there were political considerations at play. Now, she said she is concerned most about what this means for city residents. Moy said she estimates it will cost city taxpayers approximately $500,000 to settle Chatwin’s contract, seek a new city manager and pay an interim city manager, should the council opt to go with someone other than Gassaway during the search process. The current discussion about Chatwin’s tenure with the city occurred over the course of three closed sessions moy with the council: Nov. 16, Nov. 18 and Wednesday. Each was noticed to the public as an evaluation of the city manager. Chatwin was last evaluated by the council during a series of closed sessions early this year: Feb. 2, Feb. 16, March 2 and March 16. Chatwin replaced David White as city manager after a nationwide search. White resigned in May 2019 to take a position with the city of Berkeley. Chatwin’s contract was for four years with compensation of $255,000 per year and benefits costs of approximately $180,000. The severance clause of the contract calls for six months of salary and health insurance for termination without cause or forced resignation or nonrenewal of his employment agreement. The two months of administrative leave is consistent with a clause in the contract in which the city agreed to provide 60 days of advance notice of the council’s intention to terminate the contract

Volunteer s package Thanksgiving meals for distribution at the Vacaville Veterans Memorial Building, Thursday. delivered to her mother, but had given the wrong street address. Fortunately, Jewell had found the error when checking the orders against Google maps, so all was good. Another woman had called a couple of days ago because she had heard the veterans delivered turkeys. “When I told her we deliver full meals, she was so excited. She said her husband is in the hospital and she does not get around very well,” Jewell said. One meal, Jewell said, will go out to a woman named Rose.

without cause. That same clause in the contract allows the council to place Chatwin on administrative leave, with full pay and benefits, for any portion of the 60-day notice period. Another portion of the contract stipulates if Chatwin terminates the agreement, he shall not be entitled to any severance. A city statement describes the separation as mutual and indicates both the council majority and Chatwin acknowledge “a different direction in leadership.” “Sometimes a course correction is required, and we respond by plotting a new direction. As I move forward, I will carry what I have learned and achieved from my time as city manager with great pride,” Chatwin said in the prepared statement. “I would not trade this experience for anything and will always reflect fondly on my time here.” Price praised Chatwin for his efforts as city manager even as he voted to remove him from his job. “We thank Stefan for his dedication and hard work,” Price said in the statement. “I am very appreciative of the time he spent organizing good relationships with all levels of the local government including the state, and our legislative policies will continue.” Moy said she believes Price is trying to steer the council “in a positive way” as it moves through a difficult situation. “I know this is painful to him,” Moy said of the mayor. Attempts Thursday to reach Price and the other members of the City Council were not successful. Todd R. Hansen, Amy Maginnis-Honey and Katy St. Clair provided previous reporting that supports information contained in this report.

For many of the more than 30 years the veterans have been offering holiday meals, Rose has dressed up and come out to greet others as they came in for their dinners. With the pandemic, there is no one to greet, so Jewell made sure someone would go out to her. In the early years, when all the meals were served at the hall and it was just the veterans from the hall who did all the work, she remembers one member used to set up a blender downstairs in the laundry room. “And he mixed up this fizzy drink with alcohol and some of the volunteers, including myself, would have a drink in the morning,” said Jewell, uncertain if she should even tell the story, but unable to contain the joy of the memory. “I used to just sit back and watch the parade go by,” she said. “You develop friendships and relationships,” Jewell said. “That’s why we do this.”

Wolf From Page A5 the prowl since biologists lost track of the “pings” emitted by OR-93’s purple radio collar on April 5 in San Luis Obispo County, about a three-hour drive north of Los Angeles. By then, state wildlife officials said, he had traveled at least 935 air miles in California, a minimum average of 16 miles per day. Deepening the mystery was the fact that officials had not picked up a “mortality signal” from the collar, which would indicate the beast had stopped moving. Only a week ago, Weiss hiked across a swath of wilderness in the Los Padres National Forest near where a landowner’s trail camera recorded video footage of the wolf near a water trough in May. “I immerse myself in that landscape, searching for scat, tracks – any clues that OR-93 was still on the move,” she said. “I didn’t find any. But I didn’t give up hope because that area is packed with deer and has plenty of room to roam.” OR-93 was just over a year old when biologists outfitted him with a GPS tracking collar near where he was born, south of Mt. Hood in western Oregon. On Jan. 30, he left his pack and headed south, traveling swiftly and leaving a scented trail past Northern California lava beds, over snowy passes in the Sierra Nevada, along the outskirts of Yosemite National Park, and into an agricultural area near Fresno. From there, he headed west toward the Central Coast, successfully crossing the 99, 5 and 101 freeways – three of the most perilous roads in the nation.

The GPS collar gave Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists a few downloads of data about its location each day that were shared with California wildlife authorities. In California, wildlife authorities were reluctant to reveal details about the wolf’s precise location out of fear that it might make it easier for hunters to track him down and kill him. The California Cattlemen’s Association, which had been keeping track of the wolf’s progress in weekly bulletins, decided not to announce that OR-93’s radio collar had gone silent. Association officials said at the time that the fact that OR-93’s radio collar had quit emitting signals didn’t necessarily mean that the wolf wasn’t still prowling the area in search of a meal. The fewer than two dozen wolves believed to be currently living in Northern California include the Lassen pack, whose territory covers portions of Plumas and Lassen counties; the Beckwourth pack in eastern Plumas County; and the Whaleback pack, in eastern Siskiyou County. Then there’s OR-103, another lone male who crossed into Northern California on May 4. Before they were vanquished by government-backed poison-and-trapping campaigns, millions of wolves thrived in nearly every region of North America. Today, only about 6,000 are left in the Lower 48, and as many as 12,000 in Alaska, where they are legally hunted as big game. Gray wolves were removed from the federal endangered species list a year ago after the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service determined the overall population was “stable and healthy throughout its current range.”

New coronavirus variant a ‘serious concern’ in SAfrica Tribune Content Agency Scientists in South Africa are studying a recently identified new coronavirus variant of concern, stoking fears the country may face a potentially severe fourth wave that could spread internationally. The new discovery, called B.1.1529 until a Greek letter is assigned, carries an unusually large number of mutations and is “clearly very different” from previous incarnations, Tulio de Oliveira, a bio-informatics professor who runs gene-sequencing institutions at two South African universities, said at a briefing on Thursday. “Here is a mutation variant of serious concern,” Health Minister Joe Phaahla said at the same media event. “We were hopeful that we might have a longer break in between waves – possibly that it would hold off to late December or even next year January.” Virologists have detected almost 100 cases linked to the variant in the country to date, said Anne von Gottberg, clinical microbiologist and head of respiratory diseases at the National Institute for Communicable Diseases. World Health Organization officials have met to discuss the virus, which has also been detected in Botswana, according to a separate statement. In Botswana – a neighbor of South Africa – the new variant has been detected in vaccinated people, Kereng Masupu, coordinator of the Presidential COVID-19 Task Force, said in statement.

Electoral commission officials, wearing a personal protection equipment to protect themselves from Covid-19, gather at the Mklomelo Secondary school in Folweninear near Durban, South Africa, Oct. 30, after a home visit to facilitate an early voter. B.1.1529 is likely to have evolved during a chronic infection of an immunocompromised person, possibly in an untreated HIV/AIDS patient, said Francois Balloux, director of the UCL Genetics Institute. The world’s biggest number of HIV cases has complicated South Africa’s efforts to fight the pandemic, coronavirus as immunocompromised people can harbor the virus for longer, scientists say. The findings come as several European countries battle a renewed surge in Covid-19 case numbers, with hospitals in some German cities starting to feel the strain. Governments are considering a fresh round of restrictions, largely against the unvaccinated, to try and curb the spread. South Africa is currently on the lowest level of lockdown measures, though the new variant prompted the Cabinet and coronavirus

council to call a meeting for the weekend. One key difference is that while European countries have broadly got vaccination levels to a healthy majority and have moved on to booster shots, only about 35% of South African adults are fully inoculated. The health department has even asked Johnson and Johnson and Pfizer Inc. to hold off on new deliveries due to a slump in demand. The rest of Africa is in an even worse position, with only 6.6% of the continent’s population fully vaccinated, Africa CDC Director John Nkengasong said at a virtual briefing. The challenge of securing supplies has given way to a lack of demand, with about 45% of the 403 million doses delivered to the continent yet to be administered, he said. Africa has South started to see a renewed surge in Covid-19 case numbers, particularly in

the most-populous province of Gauteng. There were 2,465 infections recorded on Thursday, up from fewer than 900 two days previously, with the positivity rate – or the ratio between cases and tests – rising to 6.5%. Almost 2,000 of the new cases were detected in the hub that includes Johannesburg and Pretoria. While the government opted for a very strict lockdown at the start of the pandemic in March 2020, subsequent curbs have generally been driven by hospitalization rates. A preferred tactic is to ban the sale of alcohol, as it spares health centers from the burden of drink-related accidents and fights. The outbreak of the new variant is at an early stage and studies are ongoing, but officials “do expect, unfortunately, to start seeing pressure in the health care system in the next few days and weeks,” de Oliveira said.

Raiders knock off Cowboys with overtime field goal B2 Friday, November 26, 2021 SECTION B Paul Farmer . Sports Editor . 427.6926

49ers have found the running ‘Magic’ again Tribune Content Agency SANTA CLARA — Call it the Magic 40, and it has helped turn around a 49ers season that appeared to be on the rocks three weeks ago. Coach Kyle Shanahan set an ambitious goal of 40 rushing plays in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Rams, and his offense came through with 44 rushes for 156 yards in a 31-10 win. The 49ers followed that up with a 42-carry,

171-yard effort in beating the Jacksonville Jaguars 30-10 to even their record at 5-5. Next up are the Minnesota Vikings Sunday, who know what it's like to be on the other end of a full-on ground and pound, having lost to the 49ers 27-10 in the first round of the playoffs following the 2019 season and absorbing 47 rushes for 186 yards. Shanahan covets 40 carries for good reason. In his 15th season as a play-caller, Shanahan

has reached or exceeded 40 rushes 18 times. He was the offensive coordinator in Houston (2008-09), Washington (2010-13), Cleveland (2014) and Atlanta (2015-16). He's called the plays for the 49ers as head coach since 2017. Including the postseason, that's a span of 224 games. Shanahan's record in games with 40 or more rushes is 18-0. If it were as easy and putting 40 running plays on his call sheet, Sha-

"The defense has to play that way, the offense has to play that way and the special teams." Against the Rams and Jaguars, it's not as if the 49ers have been overly explosive, gaining 337 yards on 86 carries and averaging 3.9 yards per attempt. But setting the tone early with opening scoring drives

of 18 plays for 93 yards against the Rams and 20 plays for 87 yards against the Jaguars got the 49ers off to a good start while the other two phases did their job and enabled Shanahan to keep calling rushing plays. "It's not like we're just gashing people in the run game," Shanahan said. "We're finding a way to stay out there. Our defense has been stopping guys at a higher level and we've gotten turnovers on special teams

FAIRFIELD — When the Vanden High School football team last won a Sac-Joaquin Section championship in 1995, current head coach Sean Murphy was right in the middle of it, lined up on the offensive line as the Vikings’ junior center. Twenty-six years later, Murphy has Vanden back in the Division IV title game. The Vikings will take on Merced at 1 p.m. Saturday at St. Mary’s High School in Stockton. “Senior year, we lost to Hughson in the semifinals,” Murphy likes to point out, or it could

have been back-to-back championships. The 1995 team, though, finished 13-0 under head coach Rich Woods, easily beating Bear River of Lake of the Pines 26-10 in the Division III title game. Daily Republic Sports Editor Paul Farmer declared in 2014 that the 1995 squad was the school’s bestever team in an article on “50 years of Vanden football.” Ed Serpas led the 1975 Vikings to a section title and Ron Beverly did the same in 1984. Led by all-state running back Pat Haines and a constellation of stars, the Woods-coached 1995 Vikings scored a

school-record 538 points and gave up just 96, recording five shutouts and held three other opponents under 10 points. No foe wound up closer than 15 points. Murphy was right in the middle of that, leading the way. Haines rambled for a then-school record 1,904 yards and 29 touchdowns and quarterback Chris Jessop threw for a then-school record 15 TDs. Cal-Hi Sports named Vanden the 1995 Division IV State Team of the Year and Woods the State Small Schools Coach of the Year. Haines was named to the Cal-Hi Sports AllState Small Schools team,

as was defensive back Ronnie Estus. Murphy sees similarities between that team and the one he leads now. “Both those teams faced adversity and have been able to gel together as a family,” Murphy said of the 1995 and 2021 groups. “We’re really hitting on all cylinders now. We’ve really been able to eliminate the silly mistakes we’ve had this season. And we’ve got some guys back from injuries.” The 2021 Vikings have a 10-2 overall record, and unlike the 1995 team that played in the See Murphy, Page B10

Section championship capsule No. 2 Vanden (10-2) vs. No. 4 Merced (9-3) What: Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV championship game When: Saturday, 1 p.m. Where: St. Mary’s High, Stockton Series: First meeting Last week: Vanden defeated Vista del Lago of Folsom, 67-27; Merced defeated Kimball of Tracy, 51-50 Of note: Merced has played in more SacJoaquin Section title games than Vanden (7-3), but the Vikings have won more SJS championships than the Bears (3-2). Merced played for a title more recently (2006), but Vanden is the more recent winner, defeating brief rival Bear River of Lake of the Pines, 26-10, for the D-III crown in 1995. Merced’s two titles came in Division I in back-to-back seasons – 1989 and 1990 – when the school was one of the largest in the state. In fact, The Calhisports.com State Record Book and Almanac lists Merced as having the largest enrollment in California in 1992-93 with 4,514 students when counting ninth graders on a separate campus. That year

the Bears lost to Grant in the final, 14-7. Merced’s other title game appearances were in 1978, 1988, 1993 (when they beat Fairfield in the quarterfinals, 34-6) and 2006 (when they lost to Vacaville in the title game, 37-36). . . . The Vikings’ other title game appearances were in 1975, when they blanked Mariposa 36-0, and in 1984, when they edged Hilmar, 20-14. Vanden’s 67 points last week broke the week-old school record for most points in a playoff game set Nov. 12 in the 61-0 win over Dixon and tied for the third-most overall in a game with the 67-6 win over Armijo earlier in the season. The school record is 72 points in a 72-20 win over John Swett in 1994 when there was no running clock. Had there not been a running clock in the fourth quarter last week, there’s a good chance the 27-year-old record would’ve been broken. With his four touchdown tosses last week, quarterback Tre Dimes moved into second place on the school’s single-season TD pass list with 35, passing Ben Scott (34 in 2011) and trailing just Jadon Brisendine (44 in 2013). Dimes is now 124-for-222 for 2,498 yards. His top targets are Michael Belk with 38 catches for 788 yards and 12 touchdowns, and Brayden Chavez with 37 catches for 629 yards and

seven touchdowns. Devin Martin, Orion Null and Kyron JacksonDavis all have more than 30 tackles apiece for the Vikings this season. Amarion York has four interceptions. Merced quarterback Seth Scheidt has piloted his dad Rob Scheidt’s offense by going 156-for-259 for 2,249 yards and 25 touchdowns, and has also run 142 carries for 850 yards and 17 touchdowns. Scheidt’s top target is Evahn Perez with 53 catches for 850 yards and 12 touchdowns. The Bears defense is led by defensive tackle Jaylen Thao-Booth, who has 128 total tackles, 15 sacks and 44 forced fumbles this season alone. Vanden is 0-1 in Stockton, losing to Edison 38-9 in 2019. If you go: Take Highway 12 east to Interstate 5. Take I-5 south to Stockton and take Exit 478 at West Hammer Lane. Turn left and go east to North El Dorado Street. Turn right and look for the school on the left at 5648 North El Dorado. Prediction: Vanden 42, Merced 38 Last week’s prediction record: 1-0; Season record: 50-16

ROCKVILLE — Solano Community College’s Bailey Erbland was recently named the Goalkeeper of the Year in the Bay Valley Conference and a first-team selection, leading four other Falcons with postseason honors. Erbland, a freshman from Vacaville, split time with two other freshman goalkeepers but still managed to allow just 10 goals at an average of 1.11 per game. Center-back Amber Morales was also a firstteam pick. The freshman central defender from Colusa scored five goals and had 12 assists this season. Ximena Rodriguez, a freshman from Armijo, was a team captain and earned first-team honors as a midfielder. She recorded two goals and eight assists from her defensive position. Vacaville freshman Dakota Marin was a second-team all-BVC choice after leading the Falcons with 16 goals. Marin also had three assists. Team Captain Kayla Herman, a freshman from Rodriguez, was also second team. Herman played in the midfield and had four goals and two assists from her defensive position. Solano finished the season 11-7-1 and third in the BVC with a 10-3-1 record.

Women’s Volleyball

Solano beaten by ARC in playoffs FAIRFIELD — The Solano Community College women’s volleyball team lost its opening playoff match Tuesday night at American River. The Falcons won the first set 25-22 before losing the next three sets 25-10, 25-21, 25-12. Solano finished its season as the Bay Valley Conference champions with a 14-0 record and concluded 21-12 overall. Sammy Brown led with 12 kills, served 14-14 with three aces and added 11 digs; Kailyn Kaiser led the defense with 14 digs and served 17-17 with three aces; Dani Rydjord added six kills and two blocks; Gina Garlick had five kills, four digs and a block; Anaya Rodriguez added 12 digs,

12 assists and three kills; Jeryn Baldonado led with 13 assists; and Crystal Carroll chipped in nine digs. “I was very happy with the way we played (Tuesday),” Solano head coach Darla Williams said. “We took the lead in the middle of set one and kept that lead to pull out the win. No other team in their tough conference pulled out a set win against American River, except the first-place team. We definitely improved our overall defense to hang in tight with the fifth seed.” Williams was also happy with the overall play of her team this season. “I was happy with the progress we made as a team,” she said. “This team had a lot of chemistry, played and competed well as a team.”

Boys Basketball

Rodriguez boys off to 2-0 start FAIRFIELD — The Rodriguez High School boys basketball team has opened the season with a pair of victories. The Mustangs edged out American Canyon 63-61 last Friday and followed it up with an 82-74 win Monday over Concord. Leroy Bryant led Rodriguez with 12 points in the win over American Canyon. Justiz Wilson had 10 points and Jerel Victor added seven. Bryant led the way again against Concord with 22. Victor scored 20 and Wilson had 17. Rodriguez is scheduled to play Saturday in Napa against Justin-Siena.

Wood gets Wudel 600th career win VACAVILLE — Will C. Wood High School’s basketball team won at Natomas Tuesday 47-40 to hand head coach Mark Wudel his 600th career victory. Devan Minouei led the Wildcats with 15 points and 6 rebounds. Kanye Kroon, Remy Hardin, and Krishna Clay all contributed 8 points each.

Takeaways from Cowboys-Raiders game Tribune Content Agency DALLAS — It is difficult to win when your starting cornerback draws four pass interference penalties, all on third downs. It is difficult to win when your team is flagged 14 times for a franchise-record 166 yards. The Cowboys offered the Las Vegas Raiders a late push, but the penalties were too much to overcome in a 36-33 overtime loss on Thanksgiving. A 29-yard Daniel Carlson field goal was the late dif-

Late FG lifts Bears by Lions Tribune Content Agency DETROIT – As Cairo Santos sent a 28-yard field goal through the uprights while the seconds wound down Thursday afternoon, he saved the Chicago Bears from a bad week turning into an even bigger embarrassment. The Bears didn’t need to give the Detroit Lions their first win of the season on Thanksgiving at Ford Field. Not after Bears rookie Justin Fields injured his ribs and was forced to sit out. Not after a report emerged that Bears ownership told coach Matt Nagy it was going to fire him after the Thanksgiving game. Not after Nagy’s bosses left him to refute the report to the media himself. Santos’ field goal in the final seconds lifted the Bears to a 16-14 victory over the Lions that snapped a five-game losing streak and ended a nightmare of a week. Bears quarterback Andy Dalton, filling in for the injured Fields, completed 24 of 39 passes for 317 yards with a touchdown and an interception to lead the Bears to the victory. The winning drive included a nice play on third-and-5 in which Dalton shrugged off pressure and found Damiere Byrd for a 13-yard pass to get to midfield. Jared Goff’s 17-yard touchdown pass to T.J. Hockenson gave the Lions a 14-13 lead with 1:46 to play in the third quarter. The Lions got the drive going when Goff threw a 17-yard pass to Kalif Raymond.

ference. Here are some takeaways from the team’s second straight loss, which drops Dallas to 7-4 and moves Las Vegas to 6-5:

Penalty-palooza Raiders quarterback Derek Carr walked back to the huddle Thursday midway into the third quarter after his Oscar-worthy performance was over. He incidentally collided with Cowboys rookie Micah Parsons and grabbed his lower neck. The officiating crew assessed

a 15-yard penalty for roughing the passer. Once Carr reached the huddle, he smiled at teammates. The officials bought it. There was more laundry on the field Thursday than a college freshman dormitory, and the Cowboys took the short end of it. During the first quarter alone, they were penalized five times for 60 yards, the most first-quarter penalty yardage against a single team since 2018. See Raiders, Page B10

alifornia’s independent redistricting commission is struggling to satisfy all demands as it draws new legislative and congressional district maps to reflect the 2020 census. The commission is being inundated with requests from self-defined “communities of interest” – geographic, economic, cultural and/or political – to have districts which maximize their clout in the halls of government. Even with 80 Assembly districts, 40 state Senate districts and 52 congressional districts to manipulate, it’s simply impossible for commission to satisfy Dan Walters the everyone, given the size and complexity of the state. As difficult as the task may be, however, it’s much easier than what another commission is trying to do in Los Angeles County, whose 10 million residents are a quarter of the state’s population and an even more diverse assemblage than the state as a whole. The county’s commission has the unenviable task of stuffing its complex melange of communities into just five county supervisor districts, each of which has more people than 15 small states. Historically, the five Los Angeles County supervisors redrew their own districts every 10 years and in doing so, protected the incumbents by making minimal changes in boundaries. However, the board’s maps failed to account for sharp increases in the county’s Latino population and Latino leaders persuaded the Legislature to intervene with 2016 legislation that created the independent commission, despite the supervisors’ opposition. “The 14-member Citizens Redistricting Commission is nearing a Dec. 15 deadline for a final map,” the Los Angeles Daily News notes. “But the group is still mulling over the daunting challenge of ensuring that one group’s benefits don’t come at the expense of others – whether it is Latinos in the San Gabriel Valley, Black residents in the heart of L.A., Armenians in the tri-city areas or Asian-American people in the San Gabriel Valley and L.A.” “Any map that we select is going to be a compromise,” Commissioner Mark Mendoza said last week during a four-hourplus meeting. “We’re not going to be able to satisfy everybody.” Given that it has just five districts to draw, the most daunting aspect of the commission’s chore is to reflect the fact that nearly half of the county’s population is Latino, which would seem to entitle the community to at least two of the five seats. However, to satisfy demands from Latino groups for proportionality makes it very difficult to maintain an historic practice of setting aside one of the five seats for the Black community, since it is no more than 8% of the county’s population and Asians are twice as numerous. The commission will soon issue its maps and they probably will face sharp criticism from those who believe they have been mistreated. The obvious solution has been kicking around for years, to no avail – enlarging the five-member board at least to nine seats and even better, to 11 or 13. There’s nothing magic about having five-member county boards of supervisors. It’s a holdover from California’s 19th century agrarian past. Alpine County, with 1,100 residents, has a five-member board and so does Los Angeles, with 10 million. The only exception is the City and County of San Francisco, which has an 11-member Board of Supervisors. Moreover, the city of Los Angeles has a 15-member City Council. Los Angeles County’s supervisors have opposed previous enlargement proposals and local voters have rejected them eight times over the past century, thanks to opposition from special interests that prefer the status quo. However, the case for expansion is compelling, as the machinations by the county redistricting commission again underscore.

I have worked with many youth in this manor to help them establish their way to gainful employment. One of the biggest challenges with working with today’s youth population is overcoming employment barriers such as not being able to pass a background check or drug screening. Another obstacle that hinders youth from reaching their career destination is the illusion of time. We have instilled in youth that because they are young, they have plenty of time, which puts them in a leisurely state. The reality that I establish in youth is that there should be a sense of urgency in them to set a foundation soon because the later they wait, the more difficult it becomes to establish a career. People in most cases set themselves up for success or failure during their 20s. This, in my estimation, is the most critical decade of a person’s life. Playtime is over after high school. Time is more than money, so don’t waste a minute of it. Let’s encourage youth to work with a team of youth career counselors who will help them find their career path. Install a career GPS system.

Biden’s inflation pitch doesn’t pass laugh test

Democratic Party’s interest groups and ideology combine to stop it from fighting to cut costs. The second question is why Biden and the Democrats have put so much of their effort behind Build Back Better in the first place. Fighting inflation is not a plausible answer. But Democrats have struggled to articulate a better one. In part that is because such consensus as the party has had is too vague to sustain a compelling explanation. Nearly all of the Democrats in Congress have been united in wanting to increase spending by $1.5 trillion or more during the next decade. When it comes to what the money is supposed to be spent on, they have had different priorities. It’s the weirdly unfocused nature of their legislative agenda that has made coherent “messaging,” as the pols like to say, impossible. Biden could have spent the past five months arguing that paid family leave is a crying national need and vowing to meet it. But for much of that time, it was unclear whether the bill would include it, and if so whether it would be a serious or token effort. Inevitably, then, the discussion of the bill has focused on the price tag. The truth is that the Democrats aren’t pursuing this spending bill in the spirit of meeting a pressing national objective. They’re just trying to cram as much of the progressive agenda as they can get through Congress before Republicans can end their control of it in the next election. That’s not the kind of advertising pitch likely to work on the public, though. And so we have ended up with the president pretending that this bill is his big idea to whip inflation.

Why Venus and Serena’s first coach calls biopic ‘a masterpiece’

Crossword

Michelle K aufman Miami Herald

MIAMI — Will Smith has a new movie out. It’s called “King Richard,” and it’s a biopic about Richard Williams and his daughters, Venus and Serena. Of all the South Floridians who have seen it, nobody watched with a more discerning eye than Rick Macci, the legendary Boca Raton tennis coach who was an integral part of the story. Having interviewed Macci on many occasions about his latest prodigies, covered the Williams sisters for more than two decades and enjoyed many a chat with their eccentric father, I was curious if Macci found the film as spot-on as I did. Answer: Absolutely. “Best tennis movie ever! A masterpiece!” the gregarious Macci said Monday between tennis lessons. “I think it will stand the test of time because it’s about power, family, love, inspiration, motivation, education, following dreams, about so many different topics. It’s not just a highlight reel of Venus and Serena.” Smith’s towering performance as Richard Williams, down to the hunched shoulders, shuffled gait and ever-present toothpick, is expected to land him a Best Actor Oscar nomination. Macci was portrayed perfectly by actor Jon Bernthal, from the fast talking to the “Pop the popcorn! Extra butter!” he shouts at young players to get them to move their feet faster. Actress Saniyya Sidney, who played the young Venus, even requested – and received – a lesson from “the real Rick Macci” to make her tennis scenes more authentic. Sidney and Demi Singleton, who played young Serena, captivated the siblings’ sisterly bond and their love for their three older sisters and their parents. Aunjanue Ellis plays Oracene “Brandy” Price, the siblings’ mother, a tough-as-nails woman who has never gotten the credit she deserves. The film also captured the distinct personalities of Venus – humble, reserved, private – and Serena – self-assured, spunky, and outgoing. “I told Will [Smith] when I met him, the attention to detail, the walk, the talk, the one-liners, even the clothes, everything put me right back down memory lane,” Macci said. “The whole thing blew me away. Will was even more Richard than Richard was. It was amazing. No one can give a better critique than Rick Macci because I was there for four years, every single day, and this film gets it so right.” Isha and Lyndrea Price, the two older sisters of Venus and Serena, were involved

Daily Cryptoquotes

Venus Williams receives instructions from her father Richard, right, and coach Rick Macci, in Florida, July 22, 1992. in the production of the film because they wanted the Williams’ controversial patriarch to be portrayed correctly. Isha, Venus and Serena were among the executive producers, and Lyndrea was a costumer. The sisters relied on their collective memories to recreate watching Disney movies and playing charades, writing in their journals at bedtime, singing in their Dad’s Volkswagen van, and practicing with flat, used balls on the littered public courts of Compton, California, while gang members cheered them on. The writers and producers examined old video. They read memoirs by Richard and Serena. And they read the book “Macci Magic,” which the coach co-wrote with former Miami Herald tennis writer Jim Martz. In that book, Macci recalls how he first heard about Venus, his first visit to Compton and his first impressions of the siblings (“Technically, they were a train wreck . . . but the way they competed was their X factor”), how he bought the Williams family a $92,000 motor home and later put them up in a house in Florida, and many rich details of their four years training with him. He also points out that the Williams family wound up owing him a lot of money. He considered suing, but they worked things out with a settlement and are on good terms. Macci attended the red-carpet premiere of the film in Los Angeles, and said he shared laughs and many memories with Venus and Serena at the after party. “The movie was so carefully done they even trained the girls how to hold and swing the racket the way Venus and Serena did back then because neither of those two actresses played tennis,” Macci said. “It was spot-on. It’s the best tennis movie, by far, ever, because the tennis part is right. And all the details about how the girls walked and talked and the mannerisms, all the little things, people would almost had to have been there to get it so right. It

was mind-boggling to see.” He said even the outfit Venus wore when she made her pro debut in Oakland was perfectly replicated. Also, the way she played in that unforgettable second-round match against then-No. 1 Arantxa Sanchez Vicario. “She came to the net 33 times in that match, and they really emphasized that, before the bathroom break, how aggressive she was, swing volleys and approach shots,” Macci said. “They researched every detail.’’ The film crew flew from California to Haines City in Florida to see the Grenelefe Golf and Tennis Club, where Macci had his academy in the early 1990s and trained Andy Roddick, Jennifer Capriati and other champions. Macci, 66, now has his academy at the Boca Raton South County Regional Park, where he teaches more than 50 hours per week. “How Richard acted in that movie, and how he thought, that’s exactly how he was,” said Macci. Williams really did write a 78-page plan for his daughters’ rise to greatness before they were born after seeing a female tennis player on TV receive a $40,000 winner’s check. He really did demand that they practice at the crack of dawn and in the rain and that they learn multiple languages. He really did pull his daughters out of junior tennis and tell Macci that “junior tennis parents should be shot.” He really did turn down a $3 million Nike contract offer for Venus when she was 14 (seven months later, Reebok signed her to a $12 million deal). As the final credits roll, one is left thinking about Richard Williams’ complicated legacy. Was he an overbearing tyrant or was he just a loving, stubborn, unorthodox dreamer? Probably a little of both. But one thing is not up for debate: His plan worked. His daughters are among the greatest athletes of all time and their rise from Compton to tennis royalty makes for a perfect Hollywood script.

Did ‘Hawkeye’ Episode 2 reveal its first big villain? Los Angeles Times Things look bad for Clint and Kate in the closing moments of “Hawkeye” Episode 2. Even after their less-than-stellar first meeting, Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) is eager to get to know Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) and prove her potential. So it’s no surprise she jumps at the chance to rescue him when she thinks he’s in trouble. Picking up directly where the previous episode ended, “Hawkeye’s” Episode 2, also released Wednesday, shows Clint attempting to wrap up his Roninera loose ends as quickly as possible so he can get back to his family for Christmas. “Clint is not out there looking for a protege,” said “Hawkeye” executive producer and writer Jonathan Igla. “He is not out there looking for trouble to solve. He and Kate get thrown together in this way [and] he is resistant to working with her.” “It was really important to see their first meeting [and] the first impression they make on each other,” he added. Especially considering their “not-quite-partners . . . sort of mentor-mentee relationship” is an essential element from the comic books. Despite Clint’s insistence that Kate not get involved, “she wants to learn and she wants to jump in,” said director and executive producer Rhys Thomas. “What she comes to understand by hanging out with Clint is that there are no rules and there are no referees [in his world]. All of the money in the world – in terms of training and practice – can’t prepare you for this. Of course, things get more complex as [the series] goes on and she understands the other stakes of being [Hawkeye].” Fans will have to stay tuned to see how Clint and Kate’s dynamic grows into one that’s more grounded in affinity and mutual respect – assuming they can escape from the Tracksuits rela-

tively unscathed. It’s no guarantee, since they appear set to meet the Tracksuits’ boss, the mysterious Maya Lopez. Who is Maya Lopez? Making her comic book debut in a 1999 issue of “Daredevil” (by David Mack and Joe Quesada), Maya is introduced as a potential adversary who has been raised by the crime lord Kingpin. In the comics, she’s not only an expert fighter but a concert pianist, and she takes on the code name Echo as she works to take down Daredevil, who she believes killed her father due to Kingpin’s lies. She’s one of the few Native American characters and Deaf superheroes in comics. Maya is also the original Ronin, using the code name before Clint eventually took on the identity. In “Hawkeye,” Maya Lopez is played by Alaqua Cox. Thomas avoided sharing any specific details of what’s to come, but teased how “she does such a wonderful job and it’s so compelling that she has her own show now.” (Marvel’s “Echo” was announced earlier this month). “Similar to Clint and Kate, she’s a character that does come from the real world,” said Thomas. Cox’s Maya/Echo arrives on the heels of “Eternals,” which introduced Lauren Ridloff’s Makkari as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first deaf superhero. What about that guy in the coat with the Tracksuits? Briefly appearing in the first two episodes operating with the Tracksuits is Kazi, played by Fra Fee. Not much is known about Kazi, but considering Fee is among the topbilled cast members, it’s likely he’ll be a more significant player in the episodes to come. In the comics, Kazi, or Kazimierz Kazimierczak, is a mercenary known as the Clown. Introduced on the pages of “Hawkeye” No. 8 (by Matt Fraction and David Aja), Kazi is hired by the Tracksuits to kill Clint.

Notice is hereby given that copies of the above-numbered ordinance are available for public review by all interested parties at the office of the City Clerk of Suisun City, 701 Civic Center Blvd., Suisun City, between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday - Thursday; and that said Ordinance was introduced at a regular meeting on November 2, 2021 and passed and adopted at a regular meeting on November 16, 2021 by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Councilmembers: Hernandez / Williams / Mayor Wilson Noes: Councilmembers: Day, Hudson Donna Pock, Deputy City Clerk Dated: November 22, 2021 DR#00051265 Published: Nov. 26, 2021

saiah Stewart – which he called “accidental” – merit his first career suspension? He thinks not. “I definitely am not that type of player, so I hate to see that, what escalated after that,” he said. “I thought it warranted an ejection because of what happened after that. . . . But a suspension, I didn’t think it was warranted. But the league made that

call and we’re here today.” After leading the Lakers with 39 points in an overtime win over Indiana on Wednesday evening. James was able to speak for the first time about his suspension, which just happened to fall on the Lakers’ annual visit to the New York Knicks and Madison Square Garden.

Murphy: Title tilt

Cornerback Anthony Brown was flagged for pass interference four times Thursday. A questionable holding call on center Tyler Biadasz negated a 31-yard Tony Pollard run. In the fourth quarter, a 7-yard Dalton Schultz touchdown was wiped away when left tackle Tyron Smith was called for illegal formation and holding. On the ensuing play, a third-and-13, running back Tony Pollard absorbed a late hit from safety Johnathan Abram. Pollard didn’t see it like Carr did. A reaction from Pollard, some might

say a flop, surely would have drawn a penalty. No flag was thrown. The Cowboys settled for a Greg Zuerlein field goal, cutting their deficit to 27-22. Had the drive culminated in a touchdown, Dallas could have tied the game with a twopoint conversion. In total, the teams combined for 28 penalties for 276 yards. Both are league highs for this season.

Weird rotation Offensive line coach Joe Philbin was away from the team Thursday after testing positive for Covid-19 to put his stamp on the effort.

49ers: Run game From Page B1 170) yards for Cleveland in a 24-3 win by the Browns on Nov. 6, 2014. The most yards were 285 (on 42 carries) by the 49ers in a 37-20 win over Green Bay in the NFC Championship game on Jan. 19, 2020. The fewest was 99 yards (on 41 carries) for the 49ers on Oct. 13, 2019 in a 20-7 win over the Rams. n The 18 games have featured 12 different backs as the lead rusher – Steve Slaton, Ryan Moats, and Ryan Torain of Houston, Roy Helu Jr., and Alfred Morris of Washington, Terrance West of Cleveland, Devonta Freeman of Atlanta and Matt Brieda, Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman, Elijah Mitchell and Deebo Samuel with the 49ers. Morris was the leader four times, Brieda twice and Mostert twice. If you're expecting Shanahan at any point to spend a first-round draft pick on a running back, guess again. The highest draft pick of all those backs was Samuel, who had 79 yards against the Jaguars last week and was a second-round selection as a receiver. n Jimmy Garoppolo, the quarterback in eight of the 18 games where Shanahan's teams have run the ball 40 or more times, is a 70.6 percent passer (132 of 187) with a 104.2 passer rating in those games, better than his career numbers of 67.3 percent and 99.1. "Any football team that rushes 40 times, I think you're going to have a good day," Garoppolo said. "We've done it in the past,

it's worked for us well. Our offense seems to adapt to week and whatever the defense is giving us, we try and take advantage of that." n The constant churn of positive yardage creates better down-and-distance. Eleven times in those games Shanahan's teams were 50 percent or better on third down, including going 14 of 26 in the last two weeks. n Takeaways increase chances for possessing the ball and calling more running plays. Shanahan's teams are a plus-17 in turnover margin in those 18 games. n Getting sacks and preventing sacks increases possessions and ruins down-and-distance for the opposition. Shanahan's teams are plus-26 in sacks over the 18 games. To make the endless procession of rushing plays less predictable, Shanahan employs a number of position groups with the quarterback both under center and in the shotgun formation. "They do a lot of window dressing but they want to be a power football team," Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer said Wednesday. The way the 49ers are running the ball is a flashback of sorts to 2019 when they went 13-3 in the regular season and trampled the Vikings and Packers en route to Super Bowl LIV against the Kansas City Chiefs. That season, the 49ers were second in the NFL with 498 rushing attempts and 2,305 yards. Only the Baltimore Ravens had more rushes and yards.

The 49ers relied heavily on the run game with running backs like Trey Sermon (28) in last week’s win over the Jaguars.

Superior California Athletic League, the current group plays in the Monticello Empire League. Vanden has posted two shutouts this season (49-0 over River City and 48-0 over Fairfield) and has scored more than 60 points in a game three times, including last week’s 67-27 win over Vista Del Lago of Folsom in the section semifinals. Vanden’s combined 128 points over the past two games is the most it’s scored in back-toback games ever. The previous record was 121 in 1994 in wins over St. Patrick/St. Vincent (49-0) and John Swett (72-20). The previous record for most points in back-to-back playoff games was 76 in 2018, a 54-12 win over Cordova and a 36-22 loss to Casa Roble. The 101-point combined margin of victory the past two weeks tied the record set by those two games in 1994. The current offense features a solid Vikings passing game. QB Tre Dimes is 124of-222 passing for 2,498 yards and 35 touchdowns. Michael Belk has hauled in 38 receptions for 788 yards and 12 touchdowns. Brayden Chavez has 37 catches for 629 yards and seven TDs. Defensively, Devin Martin (37), Orion Null (34) and Kyron JacksonDavis (31) all have more than 30 tackles each and Amarion York has pulled down four interceptions. The Vikings will have their hands full with Merced. The Bears fin-

ished second in the California Central Conference under longtime head coach Rob Scheidt and carry a 9-3 overall record. Seth Scheidt, the coach’s son, is the quarterback and is 156for-259 for 2,249 yards and 25 TDs, numbers similar to Dimes. He is also a running threat with 142 carries for 892 yards and 17 TDs. Evahn Perez has caught 53 of Scheidt’s passes for 892 yards and 12 touchdowns, The defense is paced by tackle Jaylen Thao-Booth, who has 128 total tackles, 15 sacks and 44 forced fumbles. “They are a wellcoached team and play well in all three facets of the game, offense, defense and special teams,” Murphy said. “They run the ball well. They throw the ball well. We have to play really disciplined and get back to fundamentals to win this game.” One of the talking points Murphy has used to get his team prepared for the section title game this week is his experience on that 1995 squad. He’s hoping the team can duplicate the feat. “We’ve talked to them about ‘95 and we’ve had some of the alumni talk to them,” Murphy said. “First, it’s a 1 p.m. game and this is the first time we’ll play a 1 p.m. game. All our games have been at night. So we’ll meet like we did at Vanden in ‘95, have a team breakfast and then get on the bus and head for the game. We’ll try and keep that tradition.”
