I-80 closure for bridge removal Todd R. Hansen

FAIRFIELD — Crews on Thursday were making some of the final preparations for this weekend’s removal of the connector bridge from Highway 12 to eastbound Interstate 80. The work will cause a full I-80 closure from 11 p.m. Saturday to 9 a.m. Sunday, the state Department of Transportation reported. Kiewit, of Fairfield, is the contractor on the $61 million project – the second package in the seven-phase $740 million Interstate 80/Interstate 680/Highway 12 Interchange Project. The current project is funded through a combination of the Transportation State Improvement Program, voter-approved Senate Bill 1 funding and area bridge tolls, Caltrans stated. The breakdown of those sources was

He said about $40 million has been spent so far during this phase. The next step is designed to ease congestion as travelers will be able to use separate lanes

to Green Valley Road or to Interstate 80 on the new connector. Right now there is a single lane. “We will be working on the permanent eastbound Highway 12 connector to I-80,” Quintana said. The full phase is expected to be completed in the winter of 2022. The connector bridge that is coming down is

406 feet long and was built in 1967, Quintana said. It was not immediately known how many vehicles use the bridge on a regular basis. Caltrans invited the media out Thursday to review where the work stands. When the demolition starts, motorists traveling west on I-80 will be directed onto the Interstate 680 connector ramp and travel south to connect to Interstate 780 (Curtola Parkway) then back onto I-80. Motorists traveling east on I-80 will be directed to the Red Top Road exit, onto Lopes Road to follow the detour back onto the I-80 onramp. Flaggers and message signs will alert motorists of the detours and potential delays, which are expected to be 30 to 45 minutes. Work on the full interSee Caltrans, Page A6

Suisun celebrates Hanukkah in hub of city government Todd R. Hansen thansen@dailyrepublic.net

SUISUN CITY — The Jewish observance of Hanukkah was celebrated Thursday at Suisun City City Hall. It was the first city-sponsored Hanukkah event, and reportedly was three years in the making. The city paid for the 12-foot menorah. “My heart is full to see each of you here on this momentous occasion,” Suisun City Mayor Lori Wilson said. “We have such a diverse community and I believe that diversity gives us such strength . . . . Tonight is one of those nights we celebrate.” SUNDAY

Parade coming this weekend. Look for the insert in the DR.

It was the fifth night of the eight-day Hanukkah celebration recognizing the retaking of Jerusalem, and the cleansing of the Second Temple, as part of the Maccabees Rebellion in 164 BC. Rabbi Chaim Zaklos, from Chabad of Solano County, acknowledged the city’s efforts to bring the event to Suisun City. “This event is 100% initiated and run by the city,” Zaklos said. The event was held on the backside of City Hall, along the waterfront of the harbor. About 25 people attended. Fairfield, as a government, also sponsored its first Hanukkah event Tuesday.

VALLEJO — The first gun show Carlene Ellis attended was shortly after her husband had died. She was looking for a way to protect herself and the elderly man who she cared for at her home. Over the years, she said, she has not only become an advocate – especially for other women looking for the same personal security as she did – but she has become a competitive pistol shooter and has attained levels of success for her marksmanship. “Talking about confidence,” Ellis said, speaking at Wednesday’s Solano County Fair Association board meeting at McCormack Hall on the fairgrounds in Vallejo. She was one of more than 50 people who attended the meeting, the vast majority urging the board to continue hosting gun shows at the fairgrounds. Seventeen of 20 written comments received by the fair association prior to the meeting favored holding gun shows, as did 16 of the 17 speakers who appeared in person. A handful of others who called to join the meeting also supported hosting the events. The board voted 4-2 to continue the gun shows, in essence reversing a 4-1 decision in August to stop holding the events

beginning in 2022. The two newest members of the Fair Board certainly had an impact at their first meeting as directors. Jeff Moorhead, representing the 5th District, made the motion to continue hosting gun shows, and Rhonda Smith, representing the 1st District, joined the majority. Valerie Williams, 5th District, and Manuel Angel, 1st District, dissented. “I have done my research with regard to this matter, and I have listened intently to the speakers,” Smith said in the closing comments by the board members, which followed the parade of comments favoring gun shows at the fairgrounds. Many of those speakers believed stopping the shows was a violation of their First and Second Amendment rights. Their comments had several other common themes, including their position that stopping gun shows will in no way reduce gunrelated crime. Speakers argued that gun shows provide muchneeded gun education, which in the long run results in greater gun safety. They noted the community atmosphere at the events and how they offer more vendor opportunities than just firearms.

WASHINGTON — The House passed a stopgap funding bill to keep the government operating past Friday, sending it to the Senate where a group of Republicans is threatening to delay action over objections to federal vaccine and testing mandates. The 221-212 vote Thursday was largely along party lines as House GOP leaders urged their members

to oppose the measure, which would fund U.S. government agencies at current levels through Feb. 18. That would give Democrats and Republicans time to finish negotiating full-year appropriations bills. The temporary funding bill now faces a potential slowdown in the Senate that could trigger a brief weekend shutdown. A group of GOP lawSee Bill, Page A6

ers had the airport, circus train and others. I think the Little Peoples Crack House came after we’d outgrown them. The catalog also had the Weebles, who were like Little People knockoffs. Kinda like the relationship of Cracked magazine to the far superior MAD. They would do in a pinch, but like Marvin and Tammi sang, ain’t nothing like the real thing. There was a McDonald’s restaurant play set that included cars, food trays, a ringing cash register and more. I think defibrillators and heart stents were sold separately. A clock would not have been the coolest gift to receive for Christmas as a kid, but a Batman alarm clock where Robin says “Jumpin’ Jehosophat Batman, we have to wake up our friend!” would’ve been in the ballpark of cool at least. Colorforms! I actually said it aloud with glee. They were a creative toy named for the simple shapes and forms cut from color vinyl sheeting that cling to a smooth backing surface without adhesives (totally search Google for that definition). I would pass on the Raggedy Ann and Andy ones they had, but fondly recall my

Gumby and Pokey set. Building play sets were next and included Lincoln logs, erector sets and ones I loved, the wooden Tinkertoys with sticks and spools. Without doing any kind of research, I would venture to guess that numerous engineers (and drummers) got their start with Tinkertoys. They had Legos, too, and I have no idea why they still don’t carry warning labels on them. I mean, they have to tell you if a toy is a choking hazard, so why not something like, “Warning: Stepping on a Lego barefoot will make you scream ‘*&%$#@!’ ” I inhaled audibly when I saw the Rocky, Bullwinkle, Mr. Peabody and Underdog hand puppets. They had ventriloquist dummies and I mean famous ones like Howdy Doody, Charlie McCarthy and Lester. They would have been a hard pass for me because I like to sleep at night. Then it was on to the action figures. The Six Million Dollar Man, SWAT, Emergency, The Rookies, Star Trek, Evel Knievel – my head was spinning. Then I turned the page and was traumatized. The Planet of the Apes. I have told the story many times of how my brother Kelvin destroyed my Planet of the Apes treehouse on Christmas morning by not watching what he was doing, falling on it and crushing it before I even got a chance to play with it, so I won’t repeat it here even though I kinda just did.

Ige said the decision to lift many of the existing restrictions came as Hawaii ranked among the highest in the nation for Covid-19 vaccination rates.

Still no indication of Thanksgiving bump in Solano Covid cases Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD – Solano County health officials will wait until Monday to be sure, but as of Wednesday there was no indication of a bump in Covid-19 cases due to Thanksgiving activities. “I would have expected to see something, so I am surprised, gratifyingly surprised,” Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said Wednesday in a phone interview. He said if the county does not see an increase by Friday, and certainly by Monday, then the county may have escaped a holiday hit. “And that would be great news, not good news,” said Matyas, who added the county has not seen a case from the new variant, omicron, either. San Francisco on Wednesday reported having a case – the first confirmed case of the new variant in the U.S. The county Public Health Division reported 72 new coronavirus cases since Monday’s report, 64 of which are from the two-day timeframe. That takes the total to 46,951 and represents a two-day average of 32, which falls in line with the 10-day daily average of 31.5, the county reported. were two There additional Covidrelated deaths, taking the pandemic total to 329 and the number from the July 4 surge to 72. Both individuals – a woman between 50 and 65, and a man older than 65 – lived at home and each was unvaccinated. That takes the surge death total to 57 who

were unvaccinated, the country reported. The countywide vaccination rate increased to 76% for residents 5 or older who have received at least one shot, and increased to 66% for those fully vaccinated. There have been 60,566 booster shots administered. The county reported 4,589 residents between 5 and 11 years old have received vaccination shots, representing 12.4% of that population. There were 15 residents hospitalized with the disease Wednesday, down from 18 Monday. Five of those patients were in intensive care units, the county reported. Vacaville increased its case total by 27 since Monday’s report, taking the city’s count to 12,394, the county reported. Fairfield added 14 new coronavirus cases since Monday’s report, taking its total to 12,565, while Vallejo added 19 for a total of 13,394, the county reported. Suisun City (3,322), Dixon (2,589) and Benicia (1,597) each added four cases. Rio Vista (633) and the unincorporated area of the county (145) had not new reports, the county said. The seven-day positivity testing rate was reported Wednesday at 6.4%. The rate was 6.5% Monday. Solano County does not post case updates on Thursdays. The next update is scheduled lat Friday afternoon. ••• Most people who have Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, experience only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and

asymptomatic individuals can spread the virus to others. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that unvaccinated people who contract the delta variant of the virus are much more likely to require hospitalization and to die from the disease as those who are vaccinated. Now health officials worldwide are tracking the new omicron variant. Health officials confirmed Wednesday the first U.S. case of a person infected with the omicron variant was discovered in San Francisco in an airline passenger returning to the U.S. from South Africa.

Infant girl dies in 3-vehicle crash on I-80 near Davis Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — A 1-year-old girl was killed in the early hours of Thursday when the car she was in was hit by a box truck and a second vehicle as part of a collision on Interstate 80 near the Yolo County line. The girl was a passenger in a Toyota Avalon, which had crashed into a center divider guard rail while driving east on I-80 near Richards Boulevard just outside Davis, the California Highway Patrol said. The disabled car came to rest in the Number 2 lane and was struck by the box truck and then

by a pickup truck, the CHP reported. The incident is being investigated for the cause of the collisions and to determine whether the child, who was ejected from the Avalon, was properly secured in the car, a CHP spokesman said. The name of the child was not released. The Avalon was driven by Robert Williams, 42, whose city of residence not reported and who was transported to Kaiser Permanente Vacaville Medical Center with what the CHP said were major injuries. The box truck was driven by Alejandro Ledezma-Aranda, 33,

Solano Coast Guard auxiliary member headed to Antarctica Todd R. Hansen thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — A member of the local North Solano Coast Guard auxiliary unit will be part of the crew of the icebreaker Polar Star headed to Antarctica to resupply scientists at McMurdo Station on Ross Island. Rene Steinhauer of Fairfield is a nurse practitioner specializing in emergency medicine and is the branch chief of the Pacific for AUXMED, the health services division of the auxiliary. Steinhauer has been in the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary since 2014 and serves with the North Solano Flotilla. He is a veteran of the Army and the Air Force. Polar Star is the nation’s only heavy icebreaker. It leaves Saturday for Antarctica on what will be a four-month mission that had been scheduled for prior to the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak. “This was before the vaccine was available, and the National Science Foundation was very focused on not introducing the virus to the community down there,” Capt. William Woityra, Polar Star’s commanding officer, said in a statement released by the Coast Guard. “All the resup-

Frazier resigns from state Assembly; Suisun City mayor announces bid for open seat Matt Miller

mmiller@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Assemblyman Jim Frazier announced Wednesday he is resigning as the representative of the 11th District, effective Dec. 31. Frazier said he is seeking new opportunities in the field of transportation, according to the resignation letter he posted on his official Facebook page. His office said he was not available for any additional comment at this time. “This is the best job I have ever had,” Frazier, D-Fairfield, said in the letter. “I have enjoyed serving the state of California and the 11th Assembly District and greatly appreciate the confidence that my constituents have shown in over the last nine years.” “I am proud of the many successes that we have achieved together,” Frazier said in the letter. “My future plans are to put to use my passion and experience in the transportation sector, explore new career opportunities and spend additional time with family and friends.” Frazier was elected to the Assembly in November 2012. The 11th District encompasses portions of Solano, Contra Costa and Sacramento counties. Suisun City Mayor Lori Wilson said Wednesday she will run for the soonto-be vacant seat. Wilson said Frazier contacted her, but would not say when the conversation took place. “I’m passionate about my city and community, but I recognize having a stronger partner in the Assembly will benefit the city and the county and the greater area,” Wilson said. Wilson anticipates there will be a special election, but said that it is up to the governor’s office. Michelle Heppner, the census redistricting point person for the Solano County adminis-

Heppner knows Solano County will be represented by wilson a single member in the Assembly, rather than the three currently in place, but whether that will be Frazier’s district is unclear. “Until they (identify) the districts with numbers, we won’t know whose district’s is whose,” Heppner said. Solano County is currently divided between districts represented by Frazier (11th District), Cecilia Aguiar-Curry (4th District) and Tim Grayson (14th District). Frazier currently serves as chairman of the Assembly Governmental Organization Committee. He has been an advocate for enhanced unemployment and disability policy as chairman of Select Committee on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. Frazier has supported legislation to improve the lives of veterans as a member of the Assembly Veterans Committee. Frazier also oversaw and helped coordinate state public works activi-

ties while serving as the Assembly speaker appointee to the State Public Works Board. He had also previously served as chairman of the Assembly T r a n sp or t at ion Committee, overseeing transportation infrastructure and managing $2.3 trillion in annual commerce, and promoting system improvements and job creation. He lists among his accomplishments: n Aided improvement to transportation infrastructure across high-speed rail, highways and public transportation, securing $30 billion in total transportation funding and $5.2 billion for the Senate Bill 1 infrastructure project. n Helped foster legislation to obtain $1.2 billion in funding for the special needs population, offering support and overseeing a series of hearings throughout the state, while evaluating the mission and effectiveness of relevant state agencies. n Fought for the California Delta, serving as a member of the Delta Protection Commission focused on protecting fish and wildlife, safeguarding farmers and ensuring the continuous environmen-

tal and economic viability of the Delta by promoting water conservation, improved water quality and improved management of land. n Secured $12 million to remove abandoned and derelict commercial marine vessels throughout the Delta region through the 2021 state budget. n Secured funding for Special Olympics for six years, including $20 million through the 2021 state budget. n Secured funding for First 5 Solano in the amount of $2 million to create a Fairfield First 5 Center through the 2021 state budget. n Secured $500,000 for the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District’s training program. n Authored legislation for a veterans designation on California driver’s licenses to recognize military service, resulting in hundreds of thousands of additional dollars for veterans. Frazier has also earned numerous awards for service. He was also the founder and vice president of the Friends of Oakley Community Foundation from 2007 to 2013. He has served on the Boys and Girls Club Advisory Board, as a member of the board of directors for Impact Teen Drivers and as a longtime volunteer with Special Olympics. “It’s been an honor to serve with my colleague, Jim Frazier, particularly as a member of the Assembly Transportation Committee when he was our chair,” Aguiar-Curry, D-Winters, wrote in an email statement. “I truly wish him well as he moves on to this next chapter of his life and career.” Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, added this in a statement through his office: “Jim and I have worked together representing Solano County for about seven years and I wish him the very best in his next chapter.”

FAIRFIELD — An impaired driver and driver’s license checkpoint will be operating Friday on the 1900 block of North Texas Street. The Fairfield Police Department’s Traffic Unit selected the location based on collision statistics and frequency of DUI arrests, the agency noted in a statement released Wednesday. “The deterrent effect of high visibility enforcement, using both DUI checkpoints and DUI saturation patrols, has proven to lower the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol- or drug-impaired crashes,” the statement said. “Research shows that crashes involving an impaired driver can be reduced by up to 20% when well-publicized proactive DUI operations are conducted routinely.” California in recent years has seen “a disturbing increase” in drug-impaired driving crashes, the statement said. Fairfield supports the efforts from the Office of Traffic Safety that aims to educate all drivers that “DUI Doesn’t Just Mean Booze,” the statement said. Fairfield police officers in 2020 investigated 52 DUI collisions that combined claimed two lives and resulted in

69 injured people. “If you take prescription drugs, particularly those with a driving or operating machinery warning on the label, you might be impaired enough to get a DUI. Marijuana can also be impairing, especially in combination with alcohol or other drugs, and can result in a DUI. Everyone should be mindful that if you’re taking medication – whether prescription or over-thecounter – drinking even small amounts of alcohol can greatly intensify the impairment affects,” the statement said. Officers will be looking for signs of impairment as well as proper licensing. Drivers caught driving impaired can expect jail time, fines, fees, DUI classes, license suspensions and other expenses that can exceed $10,000, “not to mention the embarrassment when friends and family find out,” the police stated. The department encourages residents to designate a driver or call for a ride. If you see someone driving who you believe to be under the influence, call 911. Funding for this program was from a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Agency lowers violation penalties at Bay Area toll bridges Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VALLEJO — The Bay Area Toll Authority in San Francisco announced Wednesday a sharp reduction in the penalties associated with toll violation notices sent by the FasTrak customer service center to customers with unpaid invoices for toll bridge crossings. Effective immediately – and retroactive to all violation notices since Jan. 1 for outstanding tolls at the San FranciscoOakland Bay, Antioch, Benicia-Martinez, CarDumbarton, quinez, Richmond-San Rafael and San Mateo-Hayward bridges – the penalty for first violation notices drops to $5 from the previous $25 and the penalty second violation for notices falls to $15 from the previous $70. Bridge customers who paid toll violation penalties earlier this year will receive a refund for the difference between the amount(s) they paid and the amount(s) due under the new policy, according to a press release. Distribution of these refunds is expected to begin in February and continue over the next several months, after which a claim process will be posted at www.bayareafastrak.org for customers who believe they are owed a refund and did not receive one. The new policy toward violation penalties was approved by BATA at its October 2021 meeting and marks the first policy change adopted as part of its Bay Area tolling equity action plan unveiled in May 2021.

Daily Republic file

Vehicles pass through the toll booth at the Carquinez Bridge on eastbound I-80. BATA at its November 2021 meeting approved several additional policy changes slated to become effective next spring. These include dropping the cost of the FasTrak toll tag deposit for new customers who choose not to link their account to a credit card to $5 from the previous $20; crediting $15 to the prepaid toll accounts of existing customers who paid a $20 tag deposit; reducing the minimum opening balance for a FasTrak account for customers who pay with cash or check to

$25 from the previous $50; and eliminating transaction fees for customers who replenish FasTrak accounts or pay violation penalties at a cash network location, according to the press release. BATA and the FasTrak customer service center in the coming months are expected to implement additional recommendations designed to make enrollment in the FasTrak electronic toll payment system more convenient, accessible and affordable, the agency reports. The toll payment system

is fully automated for FasTrak customers, with the cost of each crossing automatically deducted from their accounts, allowing them to avoid invoices, violation notices and penalties altogether. FasTrak customers already account for about three-quarters of all crossings at the Bay Area’s state-owned toll bridges. BATA encourages customers who do not already have FasTrak to open accounts online at www.bayareafastrak. org or by phone at 1-877229-8655 (BAY-TOLL).

Customers also may obtain FasTrak tags at select Costco and Walgreens stores. A map of retail locations at which FasTrak tags are available may be found at https://www.bayareafastrak.org/en/howitworks/ retailmap.html. Tags purchased at Costco or Walgreens must be registered online. Drivers who would rather replenish their FasTrak accounts with cash can do so at more than 100 Cash Payment Network locations, now

including Walmart stores. A map of these locations may be found at https:// w w w.baya r e a fa st r a k . org/en/tolls/cashLocationsMap.html. Drivers also may open a License Plate Account, which is a pay-as-yougo option that links a license plate to an account and charges that account whenever the vehicle crosses a toll bridge; or make a one-time payment, which allows the customer to pay a toll online up to 30 days in advance of a bridge crossing or within 48 hours afterward. There are no fees for either of these services, according to the press release. More information about License Plate Accounts and one-time payments is available at www.bayareafastrak.org. Customers who do not have FasTrak or a License Plate Account – and who do not use the online onetime payment option – are required to return invoices with payment within 21 days. Customers who neglect to return payment by the due date on the invoice will receive a “Notice of Toll Evasion” with a $5 penalty for each toll crossing. Customers who do not return payment by the due date on the “Notice of Toll Evasion” will receive a “Second Notice of Delinquent Toll Evasion” with a violation penalty of $15 per crossing. Customers who do not return payment after a second notice may have a hold put on their vehicle registration by the DMV or have the amount owed referred to a collection agency.

Tolls on 7 Bay Area bridges set to rise next month Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VALLEJO — The Bay Area Toll Authority has reminded commuters and other drivers that tolls at the region’s seven stateowned toll bridges will go up by $1 on Jan. 1. This will be the second of the three $1 toll increases approved by the Legislature in 2017 through state Senate Bill 595 and by voters through Regional Measure 3 in June 2018. Solano County voters voted to reject Regional Measure 3 but the measure passed across the greater Bay Area. The first of these toll hikes went into effect Jan. 1, 2019. The last of the Regional Measure 3 toll increases will go into effect Jan. 1, 2025. Regular tolls for twoaxle cars and trucks (as well as for motorcycles) at the San FranciscoOakland Bay, Antioch, Benicia-Martinez, CarDumbarton, quinez, Richmond-San Rafael and San Mateo-Hayward bridges will rise to $7 from the current $6 on Jan. 1. Tolls for vehicles with three or more axles also will rise by $1 on Jan. 1 at all seven of the state-owned toll bridges: to $17 for three axles, $22 for four-axles, $27 for five axles, $32 for six axles and $37 for combinations with seven or more axles.

In brief Caltrans seeks beautification project proposals

Applications for community beautification project grants are being accepted by the

Senate Bill 595 and Regional Measure 3 continue the peak-period toll discount for motorcycles, carpools and qualifying clean-air vehicles crossing any of the state-owned toll bridges from 5 to 10 a.m. and from 3 to 7 p.m. weekdays. The discounted toll is scheduled to increase to $3.50 on Jan. 1 from the current $3. To qualify for this discount, carpoolers, motorcyclists and drivers of qualifying clean-air vehicles must use FasTrak to pay their tolls electronically and must use a designated carpool lane at each toll plaza. Senate Bill 595 and Regional Measure 3 also established a 50-cent toll discount for two-axle vehicles crossing more than one of the stateowned toll bridges during weekday commute hours of 5 to 10 a.m. and 3 to 7 p.m. To be eligible for the toll discount, which is to be applied to the second toll crossing of the day, motorists must pay their tolls electronically with FasTrak. Carpools, motorcycles and qualifying clean-air vehicles making a second peak-period toll crossing in a single day will qualify for an additional 25-cent discount off the alreadydiscounted carpool toll. Because a legal challenge to Senate Bill 595 and Regional Measure

3 remains pending before the California Supreme Court, the Jan. 1 toll increase, when collected, will be placed into an escrow account managed by an independent trustee. Revenue from the 2019 toll increase also is being held in escrow. If BATA prevails in the litigation, the funds will be applied to BATAapproved programs. Major projects in the Regional Measure 3 expenditure plan include: n Improvements to State Route 37 in the North Bay. n Freeway interchange improvements in

state Department of Transportation. The grants are up to $5 million and are open to cities, counties and tribal governments. There is $296 million available. The deadline to apply is March 1. Gov. Gavin Newsom

and Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg held a press conference Wednesday to announce the grant program, which is part of the $1.1 billion Clean California initiative. The grants are not limited to highway beautification efforts. For more details, go to https://tinyurl. com/y76kds6s.

From Page One They also argued that they provide what has been reported as $50,000 in annual revenue to the fairgrounds, as well as bringing dollars to neighboring gas stations, restaurants and other Vallejo businesses. Jason Smith, with Code of the West Productions, said the company has been putting on shows at the fairgrounds for more than 20 years without a single incident. He said local, state and federal agencies keep a close eye on the shows. “We have vendors who rely on the show to make a living,” Smith said. Some of those vendors, he said, are retirees who need the income to make ends meet. Another common theme was to encourage those who had never been to a gun show to attend this weekend’s event to see for themselves. “There is no way in hell I’m going to vote to get rid of gun shows,” Moorhead said after an impassioned speech that raised the specter of the looting and civil unrest that took place in the spring of 2020, to blaming Gov. Gavin Newsom and the “decriminalization” of certain laws, to coming just short of calling for gun safety courses in schools. In the end, however, it was Director Norma Placido, 1st District, who swung the issue when she flipped her August position of banning the gun shows start-

ing in 2022. the overwhelming Citing support for gun shows expressed at the meeting, Placido also said the threats of costly litigation that could bankrupt the fair association also played a part in her decision. “I’m very worried, very concerned for the Solano County Fair,” Placido said. “Today I’m changing my vote.” Smith also noted her concerns about the threat of litigation, including one from the California Pistol and Rifle Association, and what those actions could mean for the fair association’s ability to put on a fair and other activities. But Williams had a different viewpoint. “I don’t agree that we should host gun shows on the Solano County Fairgrounds,” said Williams, who also favored the ban in August. Williams pointed to the increase in violent gun-related crime, especially in Vallejo, and the message it sends for a county agency to put on the shows. She said the shows belong at private venues. Patricia Pepin said Vallejo already has a reputation of being a crime-ridden city, with homicide rates more than doubling in recent years. “Holding gun shows does not dispel that view,” she said. Angel offered an amendment to Moorhead’s motion to send a letter to the Board of Supervisors to look into the matter and have the county board set the policy for the fairgrounds.

It was mentioned a couple of times that the role the Fair Board will play in the future will likely change dramatically because of the proposed Solano360 development, and that possibility may make the Fair Board the wrong authority to take up this policy issue. The Fair Board can have as many as 15 members, three from each of the five supervisorial districts. There are nine vacancies, leaving no representatives from 2nd, 3rd or 4th Districts. It was even noted that Supervisor John Vasquez has never made an appointment to the Fair Board in his two decades as a supervisor. But Moorhead did not accept the proposed amendment, and said if someone wants to raise that issue up separately, they can. No one did. Board President Lee Williams, the lone dissenter in the August vote to ban gun shows, was the fourth vote in the majority. The meeting marked a “cure and correction” from the August vote, a response to criticism that the board had violated the open meeting laws with confusing agenda language. The board, and its legal counsel, did not agree with that, but in September decided to hold the second meeting just the same. By conducting the meeting, the August vote was automatically nullified, so Wednesday’s action essentially affirmed the existing fairgrounds policy that allows gun shows. The fairgrounds has hosted gun shows for more than 50 years.

Biden unveils Covid-19 plan as Bill: Senate Republicans threaten delay omicron arrives Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer, D-NY, center, and Sen. Patty Murray, D-WA, left, arrive for a news

From Page One

Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Warning that Covid-19 caseloads are poised to climb this winter, President Joe Biden said Thursday that “we need to be ready” as he announced his plan for limiting the spread of infection. Adding urgency to his efforts is the arrival of the omicron variant, which was first reported in South Africa last week. Although scientists are still studying the variant, the World Health Organization has warned that the risk of new global outbreaks is “very high.” Biden said public health officials believe current vaccines till provide protection against the mutated version of the coronavirus. “If you’re worried about the omicron variant, the best thing to do is get fully vaccinated, and then

get your booster shot when you’re eligible,” he said. “We don’t yet believe that additional measures will be needed.” Under Biden’s new plan, pharmacies will start reaching out to an estimated 100 million Americans who are eligible for booster shots have not yet but received them. His administration will also require insurance companies to reimburse people for the purchase of home tests. In addition, 50 million home tests are slated for distribution to community health centers and rural clinics, where people without insurance can access them for free. Biden said he hopes the fight against the coronavirus will “unite us.” “I know Covid-19 has been very divisive in this country,” he said. “It’s become a political issue, which is a sad, sad commentary.”

makers led by Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall has demanded a vote on an amendment that would block funding for the COVID-19 vaccine and testing mandates imposed by President Joe Biden’s administration. They want it to get a simple majority in the 50-50 Senate — rather than the chamber’s usual 60-vote threshold to advance legislation — before agreeing to proceed with a vote on the stopgap bill. “An unconstitutional federal vaccine mandate is going to lead to an economic shutdown,” Marshall said Thursday. “This is a chance for us to right a wrong.” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., hasn’t said whether he’ll agree to allow the amendment to get an up or down vote. A vaccine amendment sponsored by Marshall on the last stopgap bill failed on a party-line vote. “Democrats and most Republicans, including the Republican leader, have said they don’t want to see a Republican shutdown. We hope cooler heads will prevail,” Schumer said. Biden said Thursday that he spoke with Schumer and Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell and that he doesn’t think the government will be forced into a shutdown. “There is a plan in place unless

conference following the weekly Democratic policy luncheon at the U.S. Capitol, Tuesday.

somebody decides to be totally erratic, and I don’t think that will happen,” he told reporters. Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia said Thursday he’s still considering his position on the administration’s employer-based mandate. He didn’t specify whether he might want an amendment vote on the stopgap measure related to the mandate or might support overturning it in separate pending legislation that utilizes the Congressional Review Act. Manchin voted against blocking funding for mandates in September, but that was before the Biden administration issued requirements for private-sector employers to require testing or vaccination. Adding such an amendment to the stopgap in the Senate would force the House to vote on it again, and make the bill unpalatable to many House Democrats. “We’re not going to go for their anti-vaxxing,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California said. “If you think that’s how we’re going to keep government open, forget that.” Speaking on Fox News Thursday morning, McConnell dismissed the likelihood that conservative Republicans will allow a lapse in government funding to occur. He pointed to other ways the Biden administration could be forced to abandon its Occupational Safety and Health Administration vaccine mandate that include

a Senate vote as early as next week overturning it. “There’s a decent chance the courts will strike them down,” McConnell said. “Secondly, next week we’re going to have a vote on the vaccine mandate, prohibiting that regulation from going into effect. I think it has a decent chance of passing the Senate. I don’t think shutting down the government over that issue is going to get an outcome.” A federal court halted the administration’s rule requiring private employers to mandate Covid-19 vaccines or tests, while another federal court will hear the consolidated case against the mandate. Separate cases involving mandates for healthcare workers and federal contractors also are being litigated. The funding extension puts agencies on autopilot, freezing in place program funding levels and forbidding new contracts, with few exceptions, one of which being $7 billion to aid Afghan evacuees. House Appropriations Chair Rosa DeLauro called on Republicans to make a full-year funding counteroffer. “Let me be clear: Working families, small businesses, veterans, and our military need the certainty that comes with passing omnibus funding legislation instead of shortterm funding patches,” DeLauro said on the House floor.

Zach Woods embraces director gig with short film Tribune Content Agency A long acting journey led Zach Woods to short films. Known for his portrayals of Gabe on “The Office” and Jared on “Silicon Valley,” Woods is embracing a new passion behind the camera as co-writer and director of shorts featuring big-name actors like Will Ferrell and Michael Pena. His latest, “Bud,” stars Pena as a father who takes his daughter out to dinner for her 7th birthday and is quickly ambushed by angry diners offended by something he did off-camera. “When I see public shaming, automatically my mind starts to do sort of moral algebra,” Woods

told the Daily News. “‘OK, what did they do? Does that warrant this? Is this not a sufficient reaction? Should there be less?’ I get sucked into the equation of what someone deserves or doesn’t deserve.” “Part of why I wanted to tell this story is I thought it would be interesting to see one of those experiences from the perspective of someone who doesn’t even have the information to engage with the ideological ramifications, who can’t make a moral judgment, who’s just having an experience of seeing a loved one caught in the jaws of public outrage,” he said. The 10-minute project debuted Wednesday on Omeleto.

Horoscopes

ARIES (March 21-April 19). People want to connect with you and if they don’t have a practical reason to do so, they may just invent one. The relationship will be more fruitful when you understand deeper motives. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Though “tree-hugger” is a stereotype, the embrace of nature is a primal need. The natural world connects people in a way the digital world cannot. Maybe it’s not a tree you want to hug, but hugs will be had today. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). At the very heart of love’s nature is an element of risk. You’re willing to risk yourself in so many ways for loved ones. You’ll risk being disappointed, hurt, feeling foolish and more. Without this risk there is no love. CANCER (June 22-July 22). For reasons unclear to you, you’ll resist your own plan. Consider this might be your inner wisdom telling you something is not quite right. Take your mind off this for a while and come back later. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). To invest love is to invest hours, attention and money. So, it is always apparent what and whom you love, just follow where those resources flow and that’s where your love lies.

Daily Cryptoquotes

son is absolutely crazy about me and calls me “Grandpa.” I have told her many times how sorry I am, how wrong I was and how proud I am of her for what she has done with her life. I want more than anything to have a relationship with her and be a grandpa to that little boy. She has put up quite a wall, though. Is there anything I can do, or do I need to just make peace with having to let her go? Please help. — Torn Apart in Illinois Dear Torn Apart: Your stepdaughter probably expects that you’ll let her down again or abandon her entirely, like her biological father did many years ago. The proof is in the pudding. Instead of telling her again how sorry you are for your mistakes, let your apology shine through your actions. Plant your feet and hang tough. Show her that you’ve changed and you aren’t going anywhere this time. It might take time for her to come around, but be patient. One of the most important things we can do as parents is show up for our kids. When her wall eventually crumbles, she will realize that standing on the other side is the goodhearted and loving father she’s always had.

Today’s birthday You’ve never been one to pursue fame, but because you love what you do so much, you’ll become well known for it. Finances improve as you deftly handle publicity. Family will be the source of stellar ideas, the reason for celebrations and travel too. March increases cash flow while July offers an excellent investment. Pisces and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 38, 1, 17, 4 and 18.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You feel thrown back to an era when eloquence was a symbol of status. Artful conversations will elevate people while dull exchanges will diminish their position. You’ll choose your words very carefully. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A noble pursuit is afoot. You will strive to be the one who gives more, knowing you probably won’t make it, as your taste in people is excellently skewed to generous souls. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Choosing what looks good on paper is best for people who

live on paper. As for those in the breathing, feeling world, the rest of the senses are best employed. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). An ongoing argument rears its head in a new way today. The information is nothing that you don’t know already but how it’s presented will be a game changer. Pay attention; your next play is important. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. That is the way it goes in the song and the way it goes in real life too for the careless. You’re not careless and you’ll take extra measures today to prove it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Different areas of your life will prove related in ways you wouldn’t have guessed. Strangely, everything doesn’t hinge on one element and yet altering one element can still change everything. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Intentions matter, but typically you don’t notice them unless they are followed up by action. People earn a more significant role in your life when they show up for you time and again.

Santa Claus gives away Teddy Bears during the Travis Air Force Base Tree Lighting Ceremony, Wednesday.

Travis lights Christmas tree, welcomes Santa Matt Miller

mmiller@dailyrepublic.net

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — A festive return to the holiday season brought smiles galore as Travis Air Force Base held its tree-lighting ceremony Wednesday night to a sizable turnout. One of the large trees on base was decked out in colorful lights with a white star at its top. Col. Corey Simmons, commander of the 60th Air Mobility Wing, led the countdown with children from the base after-school program. “Oohs” and “aahs” were aplenty as the tree was lit after a 10-second countdown. Live music was playing for those gathered. A base band played holiday tunes while the after-school children sang “Jingle Bells” and “Jingle Bell Rock.” Then another big event followed. The stylish man in the red suit came rolling in aboard a honking fire truck that sent the children chasing it with holiday glee. “Last year was a really tough year,” Simmons said. “Anytime you can safely get together and fellowship, that’s something to look forward to. It’s been hard, but we are thankful for the chance to get

together and be thankful for the good things that we have.” Col. Gwendolyn Foster, commander of the 60th Medical Group, was taking pictures under the tree with her family. The opportunity for the base family to gather again was much-needed, she said. “It’s amazing, phenomenal,” Foster said. “Last year we didn’t get to do it. To have it this year is a very good feeling. It warms my soul.” Master Sgt. Chad Anderson, with aircraft maintenance, was just grateful to be able to have the family go out and do things again. “I’ve seen people I haven’t seen in a year and a half,” Anderson said. “Things are starting to open up and we can do things again. Hopefully, after the holidays and New Year’s, we can put Covid behind us and go from there.” The children quickly lined up to get a chance to meet Santa Claus. The merry man was happy to hand out candy canes and teddy bears to the children in line. “Hi Santa,” yelled 3-year-old Mateo, perched on the shoulders of his mother, Melissa Lilly. His 1-year-old sister Delilah was nearby in her stroller. For all gathered, it was a good night.

State fines PG&E over Kincade Fire Tribune Content Agency California regulators handed PG&E Corp. a $125 million penalty Thursday over the Kincade Fire, which sparked a massive evacuation in Sonoma County at the same time PG&E was blacking out hundreds of thousands of homes to reduce wildfire risks. PG&E – which is also facing criminal prosecution and millions in civil claims from the October 2019 fire – will pay the state a $40 million fine and will swallow $85 million in fire-related costs that otherwise could have been billed to ratepayers. The penalties, implemented through a negotiated settlement with the company, were approved by the California Public Utilities Commission. The Kincade Fire occurred at a particularly turbulent moment in PG&E’s history. The company was already in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings because of billions of dollars in damages caused by the Camp Fire and other wildfires. In October 2019, it engineered a series of “public safety power shutoffs” – deliberate blackouts across a wide swath of Northern California to tamp down fire risks during a particularly fierce series of Diablo windstorms. Nonetheless, the Kincade Fire ignited. Cal Fire determined that the fire was started by a faulty transmission line near Geyserville – a piece of equipment that wasn’t shut down during the blackouts. More than 180,000 residents were evacuated and more than 77,000 acres burned in what became the largest wildfire in the state that year. No one died, but four people were hurt and 374 homes and other buildings, including some wineries, were destroyed. As the fire raged and the blackouts continued, a furious Gov. Gavin Newsom publicly floated the idea of engineering a government takeover of PG&E, or a sale to an investor such as Warren Buffett. Ultimately, Newsom approved the beleaguered company’s bankruptcy reorganization plan, which left PG&E intact but under new leadership. Clifford Rechtschaffen, a member of the Public Utilities Commission, called the Kincade Fire “yet another unfortunate incident of PG&E misconduct.”

Railroad avenues, according to the Fairfield Police Department. No further information was available as Fairfield police begin an investigation into why the woman was on the tracks, Lt. Jausiah Jacobsen said.

Fairfield police took on traffic control while lanes on Sunset were blocked off during the investigation. The identity of the women was unavailable until her next of kin is informed of her death by the Solano County Coroner’s Office.

Suisun City Police Chief Aaron Roth said his department initially responded to the incident before Fairfield police took over because the incident was in their jurisdiction.

Rep. Mike Thompson announced this week he is taking applications for interns in his Washington, D.C. office for the spring 2022 semester. Potential interns from California’s 5th Congressional District are encouraged to apply. “Each semester it’s an honor to have some of our district and our nation’s future leaders serve as interns in my congres-

sional office,” Thompson, D-St. Helena, said in a press release. “Interns get a first-hand look at how government operates and they work with me and my staff to serve our district.” Internships in Thompson’s office in the nation’s capital are available to college-age students. Interested applicants should submit a resume, cover letter, writing samples and three references by Monday to dci nter n.t hompson@ mail.house.gov.

FAIRFIELD — The Vanden High football team has never faced Windsor, it’s opponent in Friday’s CIF Northern California Division 3-AA championship, but to Vikings coach Sean Murphy, the Jaguars look painfully familiar. Windsor is coached by Paul Cronin, who coached Cardinal Newman to a bruising 28-21 victory over Vanden on March 26 in the spring season before heading up Highway 101 – along with much of his staff – to coach the Jaguars. “They’re not quite as big (as Cardinal Newman), but they’re definitely just as athletic,” Murphy said. “It’s like watching a mirror of last year’s team. That’s saying a lot, too, Their attention to detail is

7:30 p.m., with the winner hosting the CIF Division 3-AA state championship game on Dec. 11

In Cronin’s first season at Windsor his team has certainly performed, going 11-1 with the Jaguars’ only setback a 28-27 loss on Nov. 5 to Rancho Cotate of Rohnert Park, a team that defeated Vanden 38-31 in overtime on Sept. 25. Both teams outgained Rancho Cotate – Vanden 419-300 and Windsor 408-365 – but fell short on the scoreboard. The similar result against a common foe is just one reason Murphy sees Friday’s game as a solid matchup. Vanden is averaging 45.7 points per game while giving up 16.9, with Windsor averaging 46.3 and yielding 16.8. “Look at the Rancho Cotate games, we’re going to match up well if you look at that game – not looking at the scores, See Vikings, Page B2

FAIRFIELD — More than 30 years ago, in a nonleague game against Armijo High, Paul Cronin displayed the moxey as quarterback that would later make him one of the top high school football coaches in California. On Sept. 15, 1990, Cronin’s Piner High of Santa Rosa lined up in the wishbone offense and the Indians set their defense accordingly with eight players

in the box. Behind their red-hot quarterback, the Prospectors made them pay. Cronin completed 14-of-20 passes for 330 yards and touchdown passes of 48, 76, 19 and 23 yards, playing just one series into the second half. “I don’t think we have a really wide open offense,” Cronin told Daily Republic sports writer Mike Massa that night. “We were in the wishbone most of the time. I saw

they had an eight-man front so we shifted out and had one-onone on everything.” That ability to make adjustments is just one reason Cronin, whose North Coast Section Division 3 champion Windsor Jaguars host Vanden in the CIF Northern California Division 3-AA championship game, Friday, is the winningest coach in Sonoma County history. Cronin, in his first season with Windsor, now has a record of 222-67-2 with the bulk of the

victories coming at state power Cardinal Newman of Santa Rosa. According to the Press Democrat of Santa Rosa, Cronin passed his former Piner coach, Ed Lloyd (217-64-9), another Cardinal Newman coaching legend, to get the record. Again looking back, Cronin also led Piner to a 21-0 victory over Armijo at Brownlee Field in 1989, completing 6-of-15 passes for 90 yards.

What: CIF Northern California Division 3-AA championship When: Friday, 7:30 p.m. Where: Windsor High, Sonoma County Series: First meeting Last week: Vanden defeated Merced, 49-21, to win the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV title; Windsor defeated Benicia, 38-14, to win the North Coast Section Division 3 title Of note: The Vikings move into uncharted territory when they travel to Sonoma County to play Windsor for the CIF Northern California Division 3-AA championship. At stake is a berth in a CIF state championship game the following week, which Friday night’s winner would host. The task couldn’t be tougher for Vanden, which plays a team that is led by the winningest coach in Sonoma County history, Paul Cronin (222-67-2). Even with that distinction, he’s not a crusty old man, having graduated from Piner High of Santa Rosa in 1991, just six years before Vikings coach

Sean Murphy graduated from Vanden. . . . According to Maxpreps.com, the Jaguars are ranked seventh in the North Coast Section and 86th in the state, while Vanden is ranked eighth in th Sac-Joaquin Section and 81st in the state. That both teams lost a nail-biter to their one common opponent – Rancho Cotate of Rohnert Park – is just one way that they’re evenly matched. Vanden is averaging 45.7 points per game while giving up 16.9, with Windsor scoring at a 46.3 clip and surrendering 16.8. The Vikings points per game and 594 points are both school records. As a team, Windsor is averaging 234.2 passing yards, 195.3 rushing yards and 429.4 total yards per game. Vanden, meanwhile, is averaging 217.2 passing yards, 173.2 rushing yards and 390.3 total yards per game. . . . Individually, the Jaguars are led by QB Chase Vehmeyer, who’s completed 70.6 percent of his passes (154-of-218) for 2,674 yards and 24 touchdowns with four interceptions. He’s also rushed 126 times for 766 yards and 15 TDs and averages 286.7 total yards per game. His favorite targets are WR Makhi Johnson (42 receptions, 970 yards, 10 TDs) and Hayden Anderson (43937, 8). The top rushing threat is RB Damian Escarcega,

who’s carried the ball 184 times for 1,111 yards and 18 TDs, averaging 6.0 yards per carry and 92.6 yards per game. . . . In last week’s NCS Division 3 title game win over Benicia, Vehmeyer completed 8-of-15 passes for 160 yards and one touchdown with one interception and rushed for 124 yards and one TD. Escarcega added 88 yards and two TDs on the ground, with Johnson catching two passes for 79 yards, Anderson getting one catch for 40 yards and Nick Fa’agata making a 22-yard TD reception. Fa’agata also returned an interception 49 yards for a touchdown. . . . Vanden counters with QB Tre Dimes, who’s completed 56.7 percent of his passes (139-of-245) for 2,821 yards and 39 touchdowns with eight interceptions. However, he’s been on an absolute roll in the playoffs, hitting on 71.7 percent of his throws (38-of-53) for 774 yards (258.0 per game) and 12 touchdowns with one interception. Over his last five games, he’s been even better, averaging 273.2 yards per game and 21 touchdowns and three interceptions. Michael Belk is the team’s receiving yards leader with 858 on 40

Erik Karlsson scored at the 39-second mark of overtime to give the Sharks a 2-1 victory over the host New York Islanders on Thursday. Karlsson and Timo Meier went in on a 2-on-1 into the Islanders’ zone early into the extra session. Karlsson made an initial saucer pass to Meier, who had the puck go off his stick and behind the Islanders net. But he fed it back to Karlsson, who beat Ilya Sorokin for his fifth goal of the season as the Sharks improved to 3-0-0 on this five-game road trip. Adin Hill made 23 saves in regulation time as he made his first start since Nov. 20 when San Jose lost,

MODESTO — Zaire Brown poured in 23 points, pulled down 10 rebounds, blocked seven shots and made three steals to help lift the Solano Community College women’s basketball team to a 74-71 win over Modesto Junior College, Tuesday.

Paige Peterson and Dominique Eaglin both came off the bench to score nine points each, the former adding six rebounds and the latter also contributing three boards, three blocks and two assists. Solano (4-5) jumped to a 24-11 lead after the first quarter and upped its advantage to 43-20 at the half before surviving a Modesto run in the second half. The Falcons play at Santa Rosa Junior College on Friday at 6 p.m.

Vikings: Winner hosts state title game From Page B1 but looking at film,” Murphy said. “You can see how well we match up. The committee did a good job matching the teams up. . . . Look at the scoring averages and points against, they’re almost the same. It’s an evenly matched game, it should be a good high school football game.” The key to winning it for Vanden starts with somehow containing Jaguars quarterback Chase Vehmeyer. The 6-foot, 185-pound senior has completed 70.6 percent of his passes (154-of218) for 2,674 yards (222.8 per game) and 24 touchdowns with four interceptions. He’s also rushed for 766 yards and 15 touchdowns. “Their quarterback is a tremendous athlete,” Murphy said. “You’ve got to have someone responsible for him on every play, If you fall asleep he’s going to make you pay for it. He’s the key to the offense, no doubt about it.” His favorite targets are Makhi Johnson (42 receptions, 970 yards, 10 TDs) and Hayden Anderson (43-937, 8), who are listed at 6-2 and 6-1, respectively. Complementing Vehmeyer in the ground game is running back Damian Escarcega, who’s rushed 184 times for 1,111 yards and 18 touchdowns while catching 31 passes for 338 yards and two TDs. Yet it’s the offensive line, which painfully reminds Murphy of Cardinal Newman’s, that makes it all go. “They’re so disci-

plined, very similar to last year’s Cardinal Newman team we played, big linemen who come off the ball,” the coach said. “Their offensive line comes off the ball hard. They’re going to play hard snap-to-whistle the whole game, They’re going to do their job, they know their job.” With Cronin’s coaching staff at Windsor largely what he had at Cardinal Newman, it’s no surprise that Murphy sees similarities in the defenses as well. “Once again, they’re super disciplined, they know what their responsibilities are, they run stunts that are tricky, they put stunts on the offensive line,” Murphy said. “I remember that from the Cardinal Newman game. We’re going to have to deal with looks we haven’t seen this year. The key is picking up the stunts they run.” Against what is likely the best team they’ve played all year, the Vikings look to continue their record-tying scoring surge – all of it coming in the playoffs. In defeating Dixon 61-0 in the quarterfinals, Vista del Lago of Folsom 67-27 in the semifinals and Merced 49-21 in the title game, Vanden has amassed 177 points, tying the record for most in a three straight games set earlier in the year with the win over Dixon preceded by 67-6 and 49-20 victories over Armio and Rodriguez, respectively. Q u a r t e r b a c k Tre Dimes has been especially hot in the playoffs, completing

72.2 percent of his passes (39-of-54) for 776 yards and 12 touchdowns with one interception. “The offensive line’s giving him a lot of time,” Murphy said. “We’ve had a lot of success because the offensive line’s gelled, they’re moving guys off the ball, giving him time to throw. When you do that it leads to success.” That success starts in practice and continues with a solid game plan that gets plenty of people involved. “I think the offensive staff, led by coach Blue (Joel Isaac), has done a great job implementing the offensive scheme and the guys bought into it,” Murphy said. “We have so many weapons and Tre’s doing a great job spreading the ball around. It’s hard for other teams to key on one guy. That goes for our receivers and also goes for our running backs, there’s so many guys you can put in. There’s no drop off because there are so many fresh legs. On the running back crew there’s no egos, they root for each other. It’s refreshing to see that especially in this day and age. The offensive line and receivers take pride in their blocking,” The scoring has extended to the defense, which has six touchdowns on the season and at least one fumble or interception return for a TD in each of the three playoff wins. “We had a team meeting after the Vacaville game,” Murphy said of the 35-17 loss on Oct. 15. “The whole mentality evolved after that, of playing fast to the ball.

We work on turnovers every day, working on interceptions, stripping the ball. We take pride in creating turnovers. With (opposing) teams getting stronger, that doesn’t always happen. The defensive front and linebackers have gotten better as the year’s gone on.” The winner of Friday’s game hosts the winner of the Southern California Division 3-AA title game between Newport Harbor of Newport Beach (7-7) and Aquinas of San Bernardino (10-5). For the Vikings to earn that right, Murphy knows his squad needs to be at its best. “We’re going to have to play four quarters of football, play with discipline,” the coach said. “As always, silly penalties, we’ve got to limit that, move the ball and create some turnovers on defense.” And after achieving the school’s fourth Sac-Joaquin Section championship with last week’s win over Merced, Murphy said there was initially a concern about a letdown, though he’s been pleased with the way the team responded during practice this week. “What has happened the last three or four weeks, the level of practice gets better as we get closer to the game, the guys have bought in,” Murphy said. “There’s a fear (of a letdown) when guys win an emotional game for the section championship. The guys seem to be ready for the journey. We’ve had poignant conversations, that we can’t be happy with what we’ve done.”

Cronin: In University of Mary HOF From Page B1 His matchups with Solano Community College as quarterback for Mendocino of Ukiah weren’t as successful. In 1992, the Eagles led 23-14 after three quarters, only to have the Falcons return a blocked punt for a touchdown,

score a safety and return the ensuing free kick for another TD to snag the win, negating the efforts of Cronin, who completed 20-of-40 passes for 245 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. The next year, Mendocino took a 21-8 lead into the fourth quarter,

only to see Solano rally for a 22-21 victory. In that game, Cronin was 24-of-47 for 229 yards and one touchdown with two interceptions. Ironically, those Solano teams were led by former Vanden coach Ron Beverly. After Mendocino, Cronin went on to have

a solid career at the University of Mary, being inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame in 2009, before returning to California to begin his coaching career at Piner and then moving on to Cardinal Newman and eventually Windsor.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Friday, December 3, 2021 B3

Environmental group, California ranch agree on plan to build 19,300 zero-emission homes Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — One of Southern California’s longest running development battles ended this week after two decades when an environmental group agreed to the construction of a massive “net-zero” greenhouse gas community of 19,300 homes just off Interstate 5 on the southern flanks of the Tehachapi Mountains. The pact between the Tejon Ranch Co. and the nonprofit Climate Resolve comes amid a severe housing crunch across California and removes perhaps the largest roadblock remaining for the 6,700-acre Centennial project bordering Kern County, about 70 miles north of Los Angeles. The project had been stalled repeatedly by environmental and economic challenges, even as other large developments won approval in one of the last undeveloped sections of Los Angeles County. The proposal had won final certification two years ago from the L.A. County Board of Supervisors, and the company declared that it had been vindicated. But earlier this year, Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff rejected the county’s approval of the developer’s environmental impact report, effectively blocking construction. the Specifically, judge cited aspects of the environmental review concerning wildfire risk and additional greenhouse gases generated by vehicles. Under terms of

The ranch and an environmental group have announced an the deal expected to be presented to Beckloff later Wednesday, Climate Resolve has agreed to dismiss its legal claim that L.A. County violated the California Environmental Quality Act when it approved Centennial in 2019. The new development, which will not include natural gas hookups, would be designed specifically to combat global warming, the parties said. The agreement calls for the installation of nearly 30,000 electric vehicle chargers at residences and commercial businesses. In addition, the plan will include other incentives to support the purchase of 10,500 electric vehicles, school buses and trucks. Centennial’s original plans required that all

residential units and a percentage of commercial buildings be powered by solar energy. The compromise also requires funding for fire protection and prevention measures, including fire-resilient planning and vegetation management strategies that would also benefit neighboring communities. It also directs the creation of an organization empowered to produce annual progress reports. “We’re proud of this agreement – it took a lot to hang in there and get it done,” said Bryn Lindblad, deputy director of Climate Resolve. “Now, we’re hoping that it gets people excited about being part of a net-zero carbon community north of downtown.” Barry Zoeller, spokes-

agreement to build more than 19,000 zero-emission residences near the Tehachapi Mountains. man for Tejon Ranch, said some of the costs for the additions to the normal infrastructure for such a project “will have to be passed on to the customer, otherwise it doesn’t make the community economically viable.” two decades, For Tejon Ranch has pursued development of the proposed community of 57,000 people and 10.1 million square feet of commercial and industrial space. With that goal in mind, the company brokered an agreement with several major environmental organizations in 2008 to conserve 240,000 acres of undeveloped mountains, grasslands and twisted oaks that are home to such species as California condors and mountain lions. In exchange, the

groups agreed not to oppose the company’s development plans. Beckloff’s ruling earlier this year found that the company’s environmental review failed to buttress its conclusion that the project would not significantly increase the risk of wildfires in a region prone to them. Although the judge found the developer’s on-site analysis to be “sufficient,” he found discussion of surrounding off-site impacts, such as wind-driven embers, to be “problematic.” The ruling denied 20 of the 23 claims raised in separate lawsuits filed against Tejon Ranch Co. under the California Environmental Quality Act by Climate Resolve, the Center for Biological Diversity and the California Native Plant Society.

The plaintiffs were not among the original coalition of environmental groups who agreed to set aside legal action in exchange for land preservation. Beckloff dismissed all the claims raised by the center and the Native Plant Society. But the prevailing issues in Climate Resolve’s lawsuit were rare wins among more than a dozen legal actions filed against Tejon Ranch Co. since 2003 to delay or block development on the remaining 30,000 acres of its holdings. In addition to Centennial, the company’s proposed developments include Grapevine, a master-planned community in southern Kern County, and Mountain Village, which would include spas, boutique hotels, commercial space and estate homes in southern Kern County. If approved by Beckloff, Centennial will join the massive Newhall Ranch project in northern Los Angeles County as the most environmentally friendly suburban developments ever planned in California. After negotiations with environmental groups, the developer of the 21,500-home Newhall Ranch project committed to provide $25 million for conservation efforts. That project also will include 10,000 solar installations and electric vehicle recharging stations in every home, plus more in the surrounding community.

California gun law headed to Supreme Court?

alifornia has some of the nation’stightest gun control laws and virtually no session of the Legislature ends without additional restrictions being enacted. In polling and by their votes, Californians have heartily endorsed making gun purchases and ownership increasingly more difficult. As California’s restrictive laws proliferated, however, the state’s current and would-be gun owners complained that notwithstanding their political popularity, the laws violate Californians’ constitutional right to bear arms, codified in the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Those complaints are now likely to reach the U.S. Supreme Dan Walters Court because of Tuesday’s decision by the 9th District Court of Appeals upholding two of the state’s most controversial gun control laws, banning the sale and possession of magazines holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition. One was enacted by the Legislature and the other in a ballot initiative (Proposition 63)sponsored by Gavin Newsom in 2016 when he was lieutenant governor. A federal judge in San Diego, Roger Benitez, became a hero to gun owners when hestruck down Proposition 63’s 10-round magazine limit two years ago, saying it unconstitutionally interfered with using guns for self-protection. “The statute hits at the center of the Second Amendment and its burden is severe,” Benitez wrote. Newsom had become governor when Benitez ruled and denounced the judge as a “whollyowned subsidiary of the gun lobby and the National Rifle Association.” A three-three judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court sided with Benitez but on Tuesday, the full 11-judge court, dividing along ideological lines, ratified the magazine laws. It declared that they “reasonably supported California’s effort to reduce the devastating damage wrought by mass shootings.” Themajority opinion added that requiring owners of higher-capacity magazines to get rid of them is not an illegal government “taking” because “the government acquires nothing by virtue of the limitation on the capacity of magazines.” The case sparked a welter of opinions from individual members of the court both endorsing the majority opinion and dissenting. Three judges appointed by former President Donald Trump were sharply critical of the majority, saying, “these magazines are lawfully owned by millions of people nationwide” and warning that applying California’s law across America would “require confiscating half of all existing firearms magazines in this country.” Newsom, of course, hailed the ruling that upheld his ballot measure, tweeting, “Weapons of war don’t belong on our streets. This is a huge victory for the health and safety of all Californians.” California being what it is, the nation’s most populous state with some of the nation’s tightest gun laws, the eventual outcome of the magazine capacity case could have wide effects. Blue state prosecutors filed briefs supporting California’s position while those in Texas and other red states backed Benitez’s ruling. The possibility of it becoming a landmark case was enhanced when lawyers for gun owners who challenged the state’s magazine limit immediately promised that they would appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. If, as Tuesday’s decision indicated, judicial attitudes about gun control laws divide along ideological lines, California’s limit on magazine capacity could face rough treatment from the Supreme Court’s 6-3 conservative majority. In recent decisions, the Supreme Court has become increasingly critical of restrictive gun laws and has a landmark case now pending, involving New York’s ban on carrying guns outside the home. During arguments a few weeks ago, majority justices gave every indication they would overturn the law, criticizing it for interfering with citizens’ rights to self-defense. That’s essentially the same line of reasoning that Judge Benitez adopted in overturning California’s magazine limit.

Instead, Democrats, with President Joe Biden in the lead, are debating how far and how quickly to push America in their direction. This is simply not what independents voted for in November 2020. Their misgivings have been intensified by the rising inflation that the administration has consistently and spectacularly been wrong about. It should not surprise anyone that voters who see their priorities ignored will support a party that seems to be listening to them. Democrats remain publicly blind to this reality. The most recent Washington Post-ABC poll showed Republicans ahead by 10 points in the generic congressional ballot, the largest GOP lead in the 40-year history of the poll. Other recent polls show Republicans ahead by seven or eight points, and the RealClearPolitics generic ballot average shows the GOP in the lead. Democrats were ahead in the generic ballot on this date in 2009, roughly a year before the epic 2010 tsunami that cost them 63 House seats and six Senate seats. If past is prologue, Democrats could be looking at an even worse shellacking next year. Democrats back then responded to the polls by going full speed ahead and passing Obamacare, leading to the historic debacle. The memo suggests Democrats will follow the same course this year and hope for different results. That this is the definition of insanity should make House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Bakersfield, happy indeed.

‘It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’ becomes the longest-running live-action sitcom Tribune Content Agency PHILADELPHIA — With the premiere of its 15th season Wednesday on FXX, “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” became the longest-running live action comedy series ever. The sitcom beats out classic series “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet,” which ran for 14 seasons from 1952 to 1966. The sitcom – ostensibly about a group of friends who own and run a Philadelphia bar but actually about a group of truly awful people – has thrust Philadelphia into the cultural spotlight, leaving many wondering if they can visit Paddy’s Pub and others wondering if the city is really full of miscreants like the “gang.” The show, which premiered in 2005, was created by Philadelphia native Rob McElhenney, an alum of St. Joseph’s Prep and Temple University, and fellow actors Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton, who also star in the sitcom. The show centers on the group of friends trying – and failing – to run Paddy’s Pub, the fictional Irish bar in a nondescript part of the city. When the show began, the characters were flawed, silly, and selfish, constantly trying to get one over on the other and launching schemes that included buying tanks of gasoline to resell at a higher price and charging people to witness a water stain that appeared to be in the shape of the Virgin Mary. But as the show has gone on, the group has devolved into people who often relish backstabbing and conning their way through life. Somehow, the sitcom remains hilarious and the gang endearing to watch. The show was borne out of boredom and a tough few years in Hollywood for McElhenney. Then 27, McElhenney had grown tired of looking for acting jobs, picking up what work he could. Eventually, his boredom bred creativity, and he made a pilot with his friends “for the

price of a couple of pizzas and the tape,” he told The Inquirer in 2005, and pitched it to a few networks. Ultimately, FX, a then-still-burgeoning network that has ended up the home of other comedy staples, bought his pilot. Since the show’s inception, McElhenney, who grew up at East Moyamensing Avenue and Dickinson Street, has filmed as much as he can in Philadelphia. The city, he’s said, can’t be replicated. “You can’t fake Philadelphia,” he said in 2005. “You can’t fake a feeling, and feelings come across the screen.” When “It’s Always Sunny” premiered, it wasn’t always the critical darling it’s become over the years. While Daily News critic Ellen Gray wrote that she admired “McElhenney’s energy,” she felt that the show was middling at best and didn’t have enough laughs to carry it’s often controversial topics. “‘Sunny’ simply isn’t funny enough often enough to justify its rather labored envelope-pushing,” wrote Gray in 2005. “Yes, its characters are frequently outrageous (and, OK, this is the first time I recall seeing ‘crack whore’ listed in credits), but often I hadn’t a clue why these guys were doing what they were doing,” she also wrote. The sitcom – which is shot in both Los Angeles and in Philadelphia – has always been about Philadelphia, for better or worse. From the opening credits, viewers are taken on a ride across sites that include Lincoln Financial Field, Penn’s Landing, and Boathouse Row. And Philadelphia landmarks are mentioned or seen throughout the show. The iconic Paddy’s Pub is one of the few locales that doesn’t actually exist, though McElhenney, along with co-star and wife Kaitlin Olson, purchased an Old City bar in 2010 and named it Mac’s Tavern (close enough).

Disney/TNS

“Encanto” introduces the Madrigals, a magical family who live in a charmed place in the mountains of Colombia. The animated film is steeped in magical realism and new music by Lin-Manuel Miranda.

‘Encanto’: A melange of music, magic and a dash of Miranda Los Angeles Times Back when they were working on 2016’s Oscar-winning “Zootopia,” Jared Bush and Byron Howard were plotting their next move together: a musical. What would become this season’s “Encanto” turned out to be a Colombia-set attempt to fulfill a very specific dream. All they needed was some magic. And some Miranda. Although co-directors Bush and Howard are “lifelong musicians,” neither is of Latin descent. So what drew them to this story? That’s where LinManuel Miranda comes in. While Bush and Miranda were working together on “Moana,” it was the celebrated “Hamilton” creator who told him, “‘I want to write the definitive Latin American Disney musical.’ So all these things came together,” Bush said. Thus began the conjuring of “Encanto,” with Miranda working on songs from the beginning as co-writers Bush and Charise Castro Smith hammered out the story of the magical Madrigal family. They’re a displaced clan on whom a miracle was bestowed in their darkest moment – and now they live in an idyllic community they protect with the powers each family member gains at a certain age. Magical realism lies at the heart of it all. “This whole film is inspired by magical realism; it’s not magic for magic’s sake, or European magic,” says Howard. “Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Isabel Allende ... in the same way, the music had to be organic to the emotions.” Bush says, “We talked about European magic not feeling right for Colombia. Charise built the foundation of that myth [of the family] in the history of displaced people in Colombia,

but also from [the grandmother’s] very specific need to protect her family.” Magic in this world is not a supernatural power based in fairy-tale notions of good and evil; it’s an almost synchronistic manifestation of the most powerful of needs and desires. “We think of it as magic that was born out of emotion, out of character, out of relationships,” says Castro Smith. “It’s not external forces foisted on people; it’s human-borne magic. It’s when Abuela Alma [voiced by María Cecilia Botero] is in this terrible moment of grief and desperation, and out of love and a desire to protect her family, this whole miracle is born.” “And magical realism is a lot about magic not being that exciting,” adds Bush. “You see people in town living with all the crazy things this family can do, it’s like, ‘Yes, could you please move that church?’” But the filmmakers had a pretty large problem – the size of the family. “We have 12 principal characters, which hadn’t been attempted at Disney before,” says Bush. “We screened this movie internally eight times over the course of five years and I remember conversations like, ‘I don’t know if you should go for 12 characters. I don’t know if you guys can handle it. Maybe a family of four.’ And Lin was like, ‘No, I can do it. And I’m gonna show you.’” And he did. “I was really inspired by ‘Beauty and the Beast’ – ‘Belle’ – for our opening number,” says Miranda of “The Family Madrigal,” the sometimes-frenetic song that introduces all the family sung by daughter Mirabel (voiced by Stephanie Beatriz), the only one without powers. “We wanted to get

the complexity of a family on screen. And that means getting our arms around them, not letting them get winnowed away in the story process where you tend to focus on the main character and their quest. We have to be super clear about who it is, how they’re related, what they can do, and how that relates to our main character.” And they were off. “Hearing it for the first time made me think, ‘Wow, this could be really cool’ and embrace the potential of what it could be,” says Castro Smith. She says their back and forth essentially made Miranda a third screenwriter. “Every time a song came in, it helped us understand the characters in a deeper way, their relationships in a different way.” The song that most challenged him, however, was “Dos Oruguitas” (Two Caterpillars), an acoustic ballad laden with metaphors about needing freedom to change as living things must. It became Miranda’s first song written entirely in Spanish. “I really had to go out of my comfort zone. My task was to write a Colombian folk song that feels like it’s always existed. So I’m imitating some of the folk songs from my culture, great songwriters like [Antonio Carlos] Jobim and Joan Manuel Serrat with a thesaurus, looking at this nature metaphor. It has to pass the test that one person who knows three chords can play the song. “It was important to me that I write it in Spanish, rather than write it in English and translate it, because you can always feel translation. There are masterful translators out there – I am not one of them. I was really proud of it, I felt like I pulled it from a deeper place within myself.”

Bridge

HELPING PLAYERS RETURN TO THE TABLE Some 50 years ago, everyone learned how to play bridge while in college, if not before. Then, almost all of the men gave up the game to have a career and raise a family. Now they are retiring and thinking about returning to bridge. However, they say to me, “But all the rules have changed!” By “rules,” they mean bidding methods. It is true that back then,

Sudoku

by Phillip Alder everyone used the eponymous Goren system. This came from Culbertson, whose hand evaluation employed honor tricks, which few understood. Goren preferred high-card points, which everyone could handle. That system had a lot of flaws, though, which have been corrected over the decades. But restarting bridge isn’t the Herculean task many fear. To help, there is a new book available, “Coming Back to Bridge” by Paul Goldfinger (Master Point Press). Since it is only 112 pages long, the reader receives a skeletal introduction to Standard American. (There are five paragraphs about two-over-one.) So, some useful topics are skimmed over, and there is one convention that should have been omitted! But a former player should feel comfortable. Goldfinger gives no deals, so here is one from my beginner’s book, which was published in England. How many tricks should South take in three no-trump after West leads a spade? Please ignore the auction, which was not included in my book! You need one red suit to play without loss. In these cases, cash the winners in the longer suit first. Here, take the diamond king and ace. If the queen drops, fine; otherwise, try the heart finesse. A gold star only if you answered nine, not 12! COPYRIGHT: 2021, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

The Vikings are 1-3 in games played in Sonoma County, a 27-6 win at Analy in 1966 followed by three losses at Rancho Cotate over the last six years. The only games farther west than Windsor in which Vanden has played were against Analy in 1966 and against Kelseyville in 1994 and 1996. . . . Dec. 3 is the latest Vanden has played, their 26-10 SJS title game win over Bear River of Lake of the Pines in 1995 coming on Dec. 2, the only other time they played in the month. If you go: Take I-80 west to Vallejo, Highway 37 west to Sonoma County, Lakeville Highway west to Petaluma, and Highway 101 north to Windsor. Take Exit 498. Turn left onto Old Redwood Highway, which becomes Windsor River Road. Turn left onto Windsor Road and look for the school on the right at 8695 Windsor Road. The football stadium is located at the west end of the campus. Note that traffic throughout Sonoma County on Friday evenings is brutal. Please leave early enough to get there by game time.

Pioneer rebounded in the second half, however, getting the game-winner after a foul just outside the box. “It may not be the score we wanted and there a few things that were missing tonight that caused the goals but the overall play I was very happy about,” Royals coach Megan Flores said. “We played strong, kept a fast-paced game the majority of the time and had several shots on goal.” Armijo’s JV team played to a 1-1 draw after a scoreless first half, though the Royals had a goal called back.

Sharks: Win From Page B1 4-0, to the Washington Capitals. The Sharks barely averted a disaster as Meier had what looked like a knee-on-knee collision with Islanders defenseman Adam Pelech midway through the third period. Meier was slow to get up after the collision as he made his way to the Sharks’ bench, but he was out on the ice for his next shift.

New York opened the scoring just 64 seconds into the first period on a goal by Mat Barzal, who beat Hill high blocker side with a shot from the faceoff dot to the left of the Sharks’ net. The Sharks got that goal back with 10:50 to go in the first, as Nick Bonino scored his third in five games off a pretty pass from Jonathan Dahlen just after a goaltender interference to Jean-Gabriel Pageau had expired.
