Vallejo remembers 80th anniversary of date that lives ‘in infamy’

VALLEJO — Politicians, veterans and residents gathered Tuesday at the Vallejo Veterans Memorial Park to honor the 80th anniversary of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, which launched our country into World War II and the world into history’s bloodiest battles.

News of the attack came to Mare Island via morse code: “Air raid on Pearl Harbor. This is not a drill.”

The hour-long ceremony Tuesday featured presentations from a Mare Island Navy Yard Association representative as well as officials from the offices of U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson and Assemblyman Tim Grayson.

State Sen. Bill Dodd read a proclamation on behalf of Gov. Gavin Newsom, asserting that the relationship today between Japan and the U.S. is one of friendship.

“We are allies,” Dodd said.

Indeed, Hiroshi Kawamura of the Consul General of Japan, San Francisco, addressed the crowd.

He rose, took two respectful bows to the audience and said he was “deeply honored” to commemorate the occasion.

“We offer condolences to those who lost their lives on Dec. 7, 1941,” he said, adding that World War II remains one of the “most tragic” chapters of his nation’s history.

FAIRFIELD — Solano County Supervisor Monica Brown opened the board meeting Tuesday with a remembrance to the 2,403 sailors, soldiers and civilians who were killed during the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Tuesday marked the 80th anniversary of the attack that catapulted the United States into World War II.

Dense smoke rises from the USS Arizona, and other battleships, during the attack on Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941.

Kawamura expressed gratitude to the U.S. for not only delivering supplies to its people in the chaotic days after the war’s end, but for helping the country shift to democracy and thrive under it.

“Once bitter enemies,” he said, the two countries now share an alliance that is “rarely found anywhere else in history.”

Vallejo Mayor Robert McConnell also spoke.

“Today the world is faced with challenges where diplomacy must succeed,” he said, pointing to current tensions in Taiwan and Ukraine.

“During our moment of silence, remember that the attack crippled or destroyed nearly 20 American ships and more than 300 airplanes; 2,403 sailors, soldiers and civilians were killed and about brown 1,000 people were wounded,” Brown said, reading off a prepared statement.

She also called on her

World War II veteran E. Paul Ball took the stage to say a few words as well. Ball said that the “day of infamy” should also be called the “day of bravery” as eight U.S. battleships were destroyed and 2,403 Americans died. He pointed out that remains from sailors killed that day are still being identified to this day.

Vallejo resident Marilyn McElhaney came to the memorial to pay her respects. She told the Daily Republic a story about her own family’s experience on that day.

colleagues, the county staff and others at the meeting to remember former U.S. Sen. Bob Dole, a World War II veteran who died Sunday.

“Sen. Bob Dole, wounded in Italy during the war, worked to pass the Americans with Disabilities Act,” Brown said. “He led the effort to raise funds to build the World War II Memorial in

the division of the city “outrageous,” saying it will weaken the residents’ voice at the county level.

It is an assertion Spering disagrees with, arguing it is “a real advantage to having two supervisors.” He noted his experience as Suisun City mayor, and particularly during redevelopment of the downtown area.

The disagreement was the only spark during the public hearing, which ended with the supervisors introducing the ordinance setting the new district boundaries.

The board will take final action next Tuesday.

Suisun City was included in a single district in one of the earlier versions of the map, but Spering objected to a border that did not follow the entirety of Air Base Parkway, which See District, Page A9

FAIRFIELD — Suisun City Councilwoman Wanda Williams is not very happy, but one of her constituents is thrilled with the new Board of Supervisors district map that is set for approval.

The new boundaries keep Suisun City divided between the 3rd and 5th Districts – and George Guynn Jr. could not be happier.

He even managed to take a jab at Supervisors Erin Hannigan and Monica Brown in expressing his delight that the city will continue to be represented by both Supervisor Jim Spering (3rd District) and Supervisor Mitch Mashburn (5th District). “(Districts) 1 and 2, I don’t think I would be as happy with.

Top Democrats and Republicans signaled Tuesday they had clinched a deal to raise the country’s debt ceiling, settling on a complicated legislative maneuver to help them stave off another high-stakes battle and prevent the U.S. government from experiencing a catastrophic default.

The apparent compromise arrived eight days before a critical fiscal deadline, averting what would have been another political and economic crisis. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., each expressed a measure of confidence that they had the votes to proceed with their plans, while Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., put the House on track to adopt the measure Tuesday evening.

The deal itself does not directly raise the debt

ceiling but rather sets up a smoother process that allows Democrats in the narrowly divided Senate to accomplish the task without GOP support.

The two sides had been at loggerheads over the issue for months, with Republicans refusing to lend their must-have votes to raise the borrowing cap, in protest of President Joe Biden’s economic agenda.

Democrats decried stance, Republicans’ especially since the party provided the votes necessary to address the debt ceiling even when President Donald Trump pursued policies they disliked. In the end, though, GOP lawmakers at least paved the way for Democrats to meet the fiscal deadline without risk of disruption or delay, potentially by raising the cap high enough to last through the 2022 midterms.

It was 1963, a year much like the present one, when violence and conflict threatened to tear our lives and our nation apart.

U.S. military involvement in Vietnam was escalating. That August, more than 200,000 people marched on Washington, D.C., in support of civil

rights and heard the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. deliver his “I Have a Dream” speech. And on Nov. 22, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

Some years, more than others, we need Christmas to be the most wonderful time of the year. A time that’s filled with family, friends, music and laughter, and candlelight services to remind us of why we are celebrating.

A time that makes us thankful for all we have,

and happy to help those who have less. A time that brings us together, with all our many differences, in peace and hope and joy.

Here’s wishing us all the kind of Christmas we need – a most wonderful time of the year. Yes, the cookie recipe is your gift.

5 more Covid-related deaths; daily case rates climb Todd R. Hansen

Second ‘Above the Noise’ Covid forum set in Vacaville

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County Health on Public Monday reported a jump of 154 coronavirus cases since its last report – and five more Covid-related deaths.

“It’s too early to tell if it’s a bump or a surge, but it is an increase,” Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said Monday in a phone interview.

He is attributing the increase to Thanksgiving and is watching carefully to see if the numbers subside or continue to climb like they did last winter.

Of the 154 cases, Matyas said 127 are actually from the past three days, an average of 42.3 cases per day. The 10-day daily average climbed from 35.1 cases to 40.2 cases, the county reported.

The seven-day positivity testing rate dropped from 5.3% to 5%.

Four of the five deaths were individuals who were

64 were unvaccinated, the county reported.

The number of residents hospitalized with the disease Monday was 21, down from 22 Friday.

There were four patients in the intensive care units, down from five. Matyas said he would expect to see the hospital numbers rise in the coming weeks

if the case numbers climb.

Vacaville continues to report the highest number of new cases, with 47 since Friday’s report for a total of 12,481. Fairfield added 36 cases for a count of 12,632. Vallejo is at 13,777 after 38 new cases, the county reported.

Some of the original panelists return, including Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, Dr. Jeff Gaborko, a Vacaville pediatrician, and Jared Austin, the cofounder and executive director of the public charter Kairos School.

Austin is also one of the organizers, along with Tracee Stacee, Anna Eaton and Shea McGuire. Eaton and Stacee emceed the first event.

FAIRFIELD — The Solano Resource Conservation District received the blessing Tuesday of the Board of Supervisors to apply for a $353,025 grant with the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Conservancy for the Ulatis Creek Habitat Restoration Project.

Supervisor says county all talk when it comes to homelessness Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Supervisor Erin Hannigan delivered an impassioned speech Tuesday that, in essence, reminded the board that homelessness is about human beings and current efforts to resolve the problem can be found in plans collecting dust on shelves.

“This is a fractured system and we will never address homelessness in a significant way unless we come together . . . and we don’t know what that looks like,” Hannigan said.

Coming together means working with the

“We have all said we have to do something about homelessness and we have done nothing,” she said.

questions about the details of his account of being attacked late one night in downtown Chicago by two men who hurled racial and homophobic slurs at him.

Over and over, Webb asked versions of the same question: Wasn’t Smollett planning the hoax the whole time?

And over and over, Smollett gave versions of the same answer: There was no hoax, the attack was real.

In contrast with Monday’s more sedate testimony, Smollett often appeared irritated with Webb’s questioning about whether he had planned a phony crime. He repeatedly interrupted Webb and occasionally looked to Judge James Linn for help, saying that he was being asked questions that mischaracterized certain evidence.

Smollett is charged with six felony counts of disorderly conduct for allegedly lying to police about the incident.

CHICAGO — Jussie Smollett has been a performer all his life, but it’s his role in a real-life drama that is about to come under review by a Cook County jury.

After nearly a week of testimony from 13 witnesses, including the former “Empire” actor’s dramatic turn on the witness stand in his own defense, closing arguments are slated to begin first thing Wednesday morning in Smollett's marquee criminal trial on charges he faked a hate crime in January 2019.

The defense closed out its case Tuesday soon after the conclusion of Smollett’s testimony, which grew combative during a nearly two-hour cross-examination by special prosecutor Dan Webb. The veteran attorney repeatedly – and at times successfully – tried to get Smollett back on his heels with persistent

State prepares for winter Covid-19 surge Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — California is preparing for a winter Covid-19 surge – if not from the newly identified omicron variant, then from the delta variant, which still poses a severe threat and has already caused surges in other states.

It’s still far from clear what kind of increase California will see, and the state has been doing better than other parts of the country. But officials say they want to be ready.

Surge planning is also well underway in Central California, which has recently experienced a reprieve in Covid-19 hospitalizations, falling by nearly 30% since mid-November.

Still, the San Joaquin Valley’s most populous county, Fresno, has a Covid-19 hospitalization rate more than triple that of Los Angeles County, and Fresno officials are

expecting the winter surge will again be bad.

“An anticipated winter surge . . . may strike in the next few weeks,” said Dr. Rais Vohra, the interim health officer for Fresno County. But unlike with last year, there are no plans for alternative care sites or cots at the convention center. “So if we have a surge, we’re really just left with what resources the hospitals are able to leverage just on their own campuses.”

If hospitals get extremely busy, they may be forced to implement crisis standards of care, Vohra said, potentially being required to ration healthcare to patients based on who is more likely to survive.

“December is going to be a very critical month for us to watch the numbers,” Vohra said. “Because if we do get a winter surge, then I think it will show up within the month

of December. And if it starts, then it may last throughout the winter months, because that’s exactly what happened last year.”

Nursing homes have become an area of focus in Los Angeles County.

The county Department of Public of Health on Monday ordered that all skilled nursing facility residents, workers and contractors who might encounter residents must test for the coronavirus once a week, regardless of vaccination status, between Dec. 15 and Jan. 31.

Also, all visitors to such nursing homes will need to provide a recent negative coronavirus test before entry. Rapid test kits will be made available to the facilities.

People who have recovered from a coronavirus infection within the last 90 days will not need to test weekly or show proof of a negative test to enter a nursing home.

It’s still too early to know for certain whether coronavirus case rates will rise across California as a result of gatherings over Thanksgiving. But officials in at least one county, San Diego, are suspecting that an uptick in locally reported cases late last week may be the initial sign of an increase in transmission related to Thanksgiving.

“Rises like these after holidays are not unexpected,” Dr. Cameron Kaiser, a San Diego County deputy public health officer, said in a statement.

Vaca Veterans accepting cash, food donations for annual dinner Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

VACAVILLE — The Vacaville Veterans Memorial Building is open to receive food and cash donations for the upcoming Christmas Eve dinner.

Turkeys are not needed. The freezers are full. Cash donations offer the greatest flexibility to purchase what is needed, event organizers said.

Lynn Jewell, who helps organize the dinner event, said for the first time the group will stop taking orders for meals Dec. 22, largely due to the logistics required for the delivery-only event.

More than 800 holiday meals are expected to be delivered across Solano County.

The Christmas event partners with the toy drive organized by the Vacaville police and fire departments, so donations of new, unwrapped

toys to those organizations can also be made.

The hours to leave food donations are noon to 6 p.m. weekdays through Dec. 24, and noon to 3 p.m. Saturdays.

The hall is located at 549 Merchant St. The meals traditionally include turkey, ham, dressing, potatoes and gravy, green beans, rolls, and pie or cake for dessert.

Cash donations will be accepted at the hall.

Checks should be made payable to American Legion Post 165. They can be mailed to P.O. Box 3043, Vacaville, CA 95696. Donations can also be made via PayPal at www.vacavets.org.

Meals will be delivered between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Christmas Day. Anyone requesting a meal, who wants to volunteer or who wants to make a donation can go to www.vacavets.org/.

Sol ano/State

Newsom’s budget proposes more help for kids, like himself, who have dyslexia Tribune Content Agency SACRAMENTO— Gov. Gavin Newsom, who wrote a book about his own struggle with dyslexia, intends to steer more money through the state budget toward screenings for the condition, as well as additional funding for early education, he told The Sacramento Bee in an interview.

Newsom struggled through school because of his dyslexia, but credits his ultimate success to his mother’s efforts to diagnose him at a young age and enroll him in special after-school and summerschool programs.

He says the benefits of screening more young kids and intervening early, something dyslexia experts say is essential, could be wide ranging. On a recent visit to Valley State Prison, Newsom asked a group of inmates if they knew what dyslexia was.

He said several laughed in

recognition. One, an older man in a wheelchair, said he didn’t learn to read until he got to prison.

“How many other kids have this, but how many other kids didn’t get that help?”

Newsom said. “I was just blessed to get that help.”

In his nearly three years as governor, Newsom has steered more than $18 million in state funds to research and programs for early screening for dyslexia, as well as additional money to train teachers to help dyslexic students. But Newsom says the programs he’s funded aren’t far enough along to show the results he wants.

“I feel inadequate on this,” Newsom said. “I’ve been cautious. I haven’t done what I wanted to do at the level of scale yet, because I feel it’s a little too self-indulgent.”

By 2023, the Democratic governor hopes an early screening tool developed by

Kent Nishimura/Los Angeles Times/TNS

Gov. Gavin Newsom is releasing a book for children based on his growing up with dyslexia. a group of scientists working with the University of California San Francisco will be deployed at schools across the state. Studies have estimated that 7-20% of people could have some level of dyslexia, Newsom said. Helping them early could pay dividends when those kids

enter the workforce with the full strength of their abilities, he argues.

That’s one of the major inspirations behind the children’s book he wrote, which comes out Tuesday, he said.

The book centers on the protagonist Ben’s struggle to read Newsom.

Homeless: Supervisor says county all talk From Page A3 approve the pact. Instead it sent the proposed contract back to the JPA board with language changes already rejected by that panel.

Those changes, authored

by County Administrator Birgitta Corsello, would give the county more say and more flexibility when it comes to assuring placement of CAP Solano clients into countyowned housing facilities are also county clients and not residents of other counties.

Supervisor Mitch Mashburn joined the unanimous vote, but made it clear the county cannot dictate its wishes on the cities, and instead must work with them

to makes strides.

He said he thinks some of the roadblocks are self-created by a lack of cooperation and communication by county officials, and forgetting city residents are county resident.

“The county is the cities . . . and I represent them, too,” said Mashburn, who said the vast majority of his constituents – like other supervisors – are residents of those cities.

Supervisor Jim Spering did not disagree with that, but argued that for the financial contribution being made by the county, it should have more say than what it has now on JPA decisions.

“I think it has to be elevated to elected officials,” said Spering, suggesting the CAP

Solano board be comprised of elected officials from all the jurisdictions.

And while he also joined the unanimous vote, he said he believes the county needs to take a “fresh look” at CAP Solano.

The supervisors also directed staff, on the urging of Hannigan, to come back with a plan for a facilitated workshop to look at the whole of the homeless issue, with the goal of developing a collaborative plan involving all of the cities – possibly paid for with American Rescue Plan Act dollars.

As proposed, the county’s share of the CAP Solano budget would be $75,012 for the first year, $77,262 in the second and $79,579 for the

third – a total of $231,853.

That pays for Caminar to operate the coordinated entry program and housing placement, Home Base administrative costs and $30,000 to Vacaville to serve as the fiscal agent.

Vallejo has the next largest share at $227,657, followed

by Fairfield at $219,400 and Vacaville at $189,223. Suisun City would contribute $56,299; Benicia would pay $53,224; and Rio Vista’s share would be $17,333. Dixon does not participate, although its residents qualify for program benefits.

“How a city can bow out, I don’t know,” Hannigan said of Dixon. “Unacceptable.”

Covid: From Page A3 Suisun City (3,343) added 17 new cases, while Dixon (2,603) and Benicia (1,606) each added seven, and Rio Vista (635) and the unincorporated area of the county (146) each added one case, the county reported.

The county adjusted some of its vaccination information, reporting 66%, not 72%, of residents 5 and older have been fully vaccinated; 76% have received at least one shot. The 72% actually represented residents 12 or older. For the age group of 5 to 11, 13.8% have received vaccine shots.

That represents 5,112 individuals.

Matyas said he hopes to see those numbers climb at a faster rate now that the county is beginning to conduct pop-up clinics at the schools.

There have been 66,751 booster shots administered, the county reported.

Solano County does not post case updates on Tuesdays. The next update is scheduled late Wednesday afternoon.

This version corrects the number of deaths attibuted to the virus since July 1 and the number of those who were unvaccinated. n n n Most people who have Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, experience only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough.

Some people, especially older adults and those with underlying health problems, experience more severe illness such as pneumonia.

The delta variant of the virus, which is currently dominant in the U.S., is highly transmissible with indications that 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 nthe new omicron variant.

Health officials confirmed Dec. 1 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. The variant as of Monday had been detected in 19 states.

The vast majority of people who contract Covid-19 recover from their illness.

Judge dismisses McGowan lawsuit against Weinstein Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — A federal judge dismissed actress Rose McGowan's racketeering lawsuit against disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein and his team high-powered of lawyers on Monday.

In October 2019, McGowan filed a RICO suit against Weinstein – who is currently serving a 23-year prison sentence for rape and sexual assault – and his attorneys David Boies and Lisa Bloom, as well as Black Cube, a private investigation firm that was allegedly hired to dig up dirt on McGowan in order to silence her.

The 72-page complaint, filed in U.S. Court in District

Los Angeles, alleged McGowan's career as an actress and author, as well as her mental health, "suffered tremendously" because of Weinstein's efforts. It sought unspecified damages for an array of offenses, including allegations of fraud and conspiracy.

The lawsuit focused mainly on a series of events over several months in 2017 as McGowan prepared to publish a memoir, in which she says Weinstein raped her in 1997.

Weinstein has denied the allegation.

Last December, Judge Otis D. Wright dismissed most of McGowan's claims in the 2019 lawsuit but allowed her to pursue two fraud complaints.

Today’s birthday You give the love you want to receive, thus modeling with magnetism and attracting just your brand of attention and affection. In the end, your triumphs are celebrated. What you care about is supported, and people will go out of their way to accommodate your wishes or just spend time with you. Cancer and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 10, 33, 1 and 38.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You need someone to agree to your plan, or to choose you over the others. A direct approach won’t work. The game you’re playing requires a subtle strategy. Employ principles of attraction.

defensive agreements in my opinion, the first is the opening paragraph on page 17 -- if you lead low from length in an unbid suit, you guarantee at least one honor in that suit. The second -low of touching honors when playing third hand high -- I finally found on page 77!

Solano County courtesy maps

The new Solano supervisor districts are ready for final board approval on Dec. 13.

District From Page One has been the traditional dividing line.

That led to the shift of about 6,700 residents back into the 5th District, which has the lowest population at 85,242 but anticipates growth in Fairfield, Vacaville and Rio Vista over the next 10 years. Right now, however, that is 4.8% smaller than the current population.

The largest district by population is the 3rd District at 91,266, a 1.9% increase. The 1st District will have 91,020 residents, up 1.6%; the 2nd District will have a population of 90,541, up 1.1%; and the 4th District will have 89,788 residents, up 0.2%.

The ranges meet the guidance of the Fair Maps Act, which requires the countywide deviation to be less than 10%.

Solano County’s new map is at 6.7%.

If the districts were divided evenly, each would have a population of 89,571.

Redistricting is conducted every 10 years with the new census.

Pearl From Page One Both of McElhaney’s parents were in Hawaii on Dec. 7, 1941. Her father was serving in the Navy. Though she was yet to be born, her parents had planned a nice picnic lunch for themselves and were heading out to the beaches that morning when news came that the island was under attack.

Her father was told all men must report to Pearl Harbor immediately.

“They drove and picked up sailers along the way,” McElhaney said.

She said the Japanese began bombing the highway and ammunition penetrated her parent’s car, lodging between them in the front seat.

The explosion blew out her mom’s eardrum and she suffered hearing loss for the rest of her life.

Her dad dropped off her mom to take shelter in a sugarcane field and he continued on to his mission.

For several days, said McElhaney, her mom had no idea if her partner was alive or dead.

Biden urges Putin toward diplomacy, not war Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — President Biden warned Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin during a videoconference Tuesday that invading Ukraine would result in stiff economic sanctions from the U.S. and several European allies.

The virtual meeting, the second time the two leaders have held direct talks since their June summit in Geneva, arose after Putin mobilized about 100,000 Russian forces on the country’s border with Ukraine, sparking new fears about an invasion.

“President Biden voiced the deep con-

President Joe Biden, right, and Russian President Vladimir Putin shake hands as they arrive for a U.S.-Russia summit at Villa La Grange in Geneva, June 16. cerns of the United States and our European Allies about Russia’s escalation of forces surrounding Ukraine and made clear that the U.S. and our Allies would respond with

strong economic and other measures in the event of military escalation,” according to a readout of the call released by the White House after the conference.

During their two-hour meeting, Biden reiterated his support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and called for de-escalation and a return to diplomacy. “The two presidents tasked their teams to follow up, and the U.S. will do so in close coordination with allies and partners,” the statement said.

The two world leaders also discussed U.S. and Russian long-term work on arms control, ransomware and joint efforts on regional issues such as Iran.

Putin has sought assurances that NATO won’t make Ukraine a member of the longstanding alliance, which has 30 member countries, including the United

States. Membership would essentially guarantee the former Soviet republic’s military defense.

“President Biden was direct and straightforward with President Putin, as he always is,” said Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser, after the meeting. “There was no finger-wagging, but the president was crystal clear about where the administration stands.”

He added: “We still do not believe that President Putin has made a decision” about whether to launch an invasion.

“We will see in the days ahead through actions, not through words, what course of action Russia chooses to take.”

The Kremlin’s official

readout of the meeting blamed Ukraine for the buildup of Russian forces and offered a defensive response to Biden, whom it characterized as having emphasized “the allegedly ‘threatening’ nature of the movements of Russian troops,” and his threat of sanctions.

Putin, the Kremlin said, “stressed that the responsibility should not be shifted onto the shoulders of Russia, since it is NATO that is making dangerous attempts to conquer Ukrainian territory and is building up its military potential at our borders.” Moscow, the readout continued, “is seriously interested in obtaining reliable, legally fixed guarantee.

The last week or so has been a rollercoaster ride for Carson Strong. On Nov. 30, the Will C. Wood High graduate and starting quarterback for the University of Nevada football team found out that he was named Mountain West Confer-

ence Offensive Player of the Year, the fifth individual to be so honored.

Two days later, it was announced that Strong is one of 10 finalists for the Manning Award.

On Sunday, Strong and the Wolf Pack found out they would be taking on Western Michigan in the Quick Lane Bowl at Ford

Field in Detroit on Dec. 27.

So much for the ups. On Monday, it was announced that Nevada head coach Jay Norvell was leaving for Colorado State with assistant coach Vai Taua taking over as interim coach for the Quick Lane Bowl.

Vanden defense to play key role in state title game vs. Aquinas Paul Farmer

PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The Vanden High football team is on a roll and the scores in its first four playoff games are proof of that fact.

Heading into Saturday’s CIF Division 3-AA State Championship game at George A. Gammon Field with Aquinas of San Bernardino, the Vikings have outscored their first four postseason foes by a combined 233-67.

Some of the touchdowns by the offense have been stunning, such as Tre Dimes’ 64-yard strike to Jamai East on the second play of Vanden’s 56-28 mauling of Windsor in the Division 3-AA NorCal title game on Friday.

But for the second straight game, East added an interception return for a touchdown in addition to catching at least one TD pass from Dimes.

In fact, the Vikings (12-2) have at least one defensive score in each of their four playoff victories and the stellar play of the defensive unit is one reason playoff games for the green and gold have taken on the appearance of basketball games where steals turn into dunks at the other end of the court.

Against Windsor, East’s 45-yard interception return for a touchdown came 25 seconds after Dimes had hit Michael Belk with a 67-yard TD pass. And it came 53 seconds before Kyren Jackson-Davis picked off another pass and returned it 41 yards for another apparent score.

Windsor’s Damian Escarcega is stopped at the line of scrimmage by Vanden’s Robert Breed, left, and Kyren Jackson-Davis, at Windsor School, Friday.

Unfortunately, penalties on the return wiped out the touchdown, but the Vikings found paydirt 40 seconds later anyway on a 22-yard TD pass from Dimes to Amarion York to make it 35-7 at halftime.

Things got dicey in the second half as the Jaguars twice closed to with 14 points, but a strip sack by Erick A. Diez and a sack resulting in a 17-yard loss on fourth down by Orion Null led to one-play scoring “drives” that iced the victory.

“They’ve been suffocating all year long,”

Vanden coach Sean Murphy said Friday night, “and (defensive coordinator) Larry Hogue is an amazing coach overall.”

The defense starters are Null at defensive end, Diez and East at defensive end/ linebacker, Julian Ledesma and Abraham Sanders at defensive tackle, Devin Martin and Jackson-Davis at linebacker, York and Jayden Robinson at cornerback, and Belk and Breed at safety.

A look at stats from Vanden’s season opener, a 37-33 comeback victory over Yuba City in which the Vanden defense gave up 301 yards rushing on 25 attempts (12.0 per carry) and 402 total and last week’s win over Windsor in which the Jaguars were held to 164 yards rushing on 54 attempts (3.0 per carry) and 268 total show the unit’s improvement.

“I think we’ve gotten better and better at containing the gaps as the year’s gone on,” Murphy said. “Our DBs are locking in on receivers. When you can depend on your DBs to take away a lot of the passing game, you can put a lot of effort into stopping the run. Our DBs have been the strength of the defense, but as the year’s gone on, the D line’s gotten better against the run game. Our D line and linebackers have really improved. We knew the DBs would be our strength and our D line and linebackers have been able . . . to take away the run game.”

And they’re also working on taking away the ball, starting out each practice with special drills designed on forcing fumbles See Vanden, Page B10

Why Warriors’ Steph Curry is shooting more 3-pointers than ever before Connor Letourneau SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

D

uring Halloween weekend, Mike Dunleavy Sr. took his two young grandsons to a Warriors game at Chase Center to see their favorite player, Stephen Curry.

While watching Curry’s pregame warmup, Dunleavy, a former NBA player, coach and executive, studied how Curry oscillated between runners,

ANALYSIS scoop shots and 3-pointers with ease. That’s when it dawned on Dunleavy: Curry is perhaps the greatest scorer in NBA history – not just because he knocks down an unrivaled number of 3-pointers, but because he can make them in any way imaginable.

A catch-and-shoot specialist, Dunleavy led the league nearly four decades ago in made

3-pointers (67), 3-point attempts (194) and 3-point percentage (34.5). A revolution from beyond the arc, however, has now rendered those numbers pedestrian. Look no further than Curry, who made 77 3-pointers on 182 attempts (42.3%) in November.

Entering Wednesday night’s game against Portland, he is just 16 made 3-pointers away from breaking Ray Allen’s NBA record of 2,973 in a career.

VACAVILLE — The Vacaville High wrestling team went 7-0, outscoring its opponents 463-65 to finish first in its own Larry Nelson Classic at Harold Youngblood Gymnasium, Friday and Saturday.

The Bulldogs outscored Lincoln of Stockton, 78-3; Granada of Livermore, 60-11; Oak Ridge of El Dorado Hills, 71-6; McQueen of Reno, 69-6; Turlock 61-18; Bella Vista of Fair Oaks, 71-6; and Central of Fresno in the finals, 53-15.

Making the All-Tournament team for the Bulldogs were Kainoa Medina, Tyler Riley, Logan Valledor, Eric Almarinez, Ethan Birch, Thomas Sandoval and Logan Kuehl. The Bulldogs are now 7-0.

Horton takes 2nd for Wildcats in tourney LODI — Charlie Horton finished second at 285, while Vaea Salt took fifth to highlight the efforts of the Will C. Wood High wrestling team in a tournament at Tokay of Lodi, Saturday.

The JV Wildcats and Lady Cats competed in the Folsom tournament, where Djesire Emerson and John Mandragon each took first place, while Autumn Garrett, Levi Crabtree and Josie Mays each placed second. Finishing in third place were Sophia Villoria, Jacob Fish and Aidan Saldivar.

The Wildcats host the Brett Fafard Memorial Wildcat Invitational tournament on Dec. 18, as well as elementary/junior high tournament on Dec. 19.

Wrestling will begin at 9 a.m. on both days.

Mustangs drop 36-33 decision to Crushers

Even Curry himself might not have expected to get within striking distance of that milestone so soon. This season, he is launching 13.2 3-pointers per game, on pace to match the all-time record set by James Harden in 2018-19.

Though Harden made just 36.8% of his 3-point attempts that year, Curry is currently shooting 41.6% from beyond the

49ERS GAME REVIEW

Special-teams gaffes; brilliance of Azeez Al-Shaair Eric Branch

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

H

ow did the Seahawks have the guts to call a tone-setting fake punt from their 27-yard line on the opening possession of their 30-23 win over the 49ers on Sunday?

It’s fair to say the 49ers’ inviting alignment made their decision far less nerve-racking.

The 49ers doubleteamed both outside gunners, which left six players on the line of scrimmage, evenly split on the left and right side, and no one was behind them besides returner Brandon Aiyuk. Meanwhile, the Seahawks had seven players on the line of scrimmage, including four on the overloaded left side.

The snap went to Travis Homer, who was aligned to the left, and he didn’t come close

ANALYSIS to being touched on his 73-yard touchdown run because of a comical mismatch that created clear sailing. Running back DeeJay Dallas and linebacker Jon Rhattigan (450 total pounds) teamed up on a block to erase 5-foot-8, 205pound third-down back JaMycal Hasty, who was lined up at right defensive end.

There was some thought that the nothingto-lose Seahawks, who entered with a 3-8 record, had decided to open with specialteam shenanigans before the game. But the fake was called at the line by Homer, who alerted his teammates once he saw how the 49ers were aligned.

“I think that the look was there,” said Seattle linebacker Nick Bellore, See 49ers, Page B10

Lakers’ LeBron James still dreams of playing alongside son Bronny in NBA Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — It was all in front of him, the open court, and Bronny James was sprinting down it as his birthright demands.

But at the rim, the 17-year-old junior showed

the slightest sign of hesitation. As he attempted a difficult finger roll finish, a defender fouled him.

Bronny walked slowly back to the free-throw line, looking toward midcourt where his father was already at his feet to administer advice.

LeBron James flicked his wrist in a universally understood gesture as he mouthed the words: “Just dunk it.”

In the Saturday night game, Bronny James didn’t dunk during Sierra Canyon’s 71-53 blowout

victory over St. VincentSt. Mary, the private school powerhouse whose most famous alum is his dear old dad. But he showed plenty of skills with his gamehigh 19 points, especially See LeBron, Page B9

Curry: Closing in on career 3-point mark From Page B1 arc. Such volume proficiency has begun to satisfy those who had long clambered for Warriors head coach Steve Kerr to ratchet up Curry’s usage rate and let him hoist a dozen-plus 3-pointers per game.

Their argument was simple: Curry is the greatest 3-point shooter ever, so why not have him fling it whenever he’s within six feet of the arc?

But Kerr wasn’t willing to watch the Warriors’ motion principles devolve into a slew of high screens and, in retrospect, that might have been the right call.

Golden State is 20-4 more than a quarter of the way through the season because, in addition to playing stout defense, it is executing its movement-heavy style to the peak of its abilities.

Players are spread out and in constant motion.

Rarely is the ball held long enough for its logo to be read.

The additions of two proven floor-spacers in Otto Porter Jr. and Nemanja Bjelica have created more room to operate. When healthy, Andre Iguodala – a well-known Curry sidekick – hits the Warriors’ best players with an array of low-angle leading passes, weak-side lobs and quick swing passes. Jordan Poole, now a feared scorer, takes some pressure off Curry in the backcourt.

All of that, combined with Curry’s continued evolution at age 33, have allowed him to take more 3-pointers within the flow of the offense. His

13.2 attempts per game are half an attempt more than his previous-high.

And that came last season, when Kerr ramped up Curry’s usage over the final six weeks in hopes of securing a playoff berth.

It’s not that Curry is doing anything different than he had during the Warriors’ recent dynasty; he’s just doing more of it.

Curry is on pace to finish with 431 made 3-pointers on 1,035 attempts. Those makes would break the NBA record of 402 he set in 2015-16, and those attempts would eclipse the record Harden set three years ago.

“Getting up more 3s hasn’t been a focus for him in his daily work,” said assistant coach Bruce Fraser, who has worked closely with Curry for seven-plus seasons. “I think he’s just matured in the game, so he knows where and when he can get shots. Not that it’s easier for him, but I think he’s seeing the pictures somewhat better.”

Curry’s increased volume from 3-point range has only put more onus on opposing defenses to stop him. No gimmicky scheme – triple-teams, box-and-1 zones, triangleand-twos – has been off limits.

Even one of basketball’s most fundamental rules is being ignored: “Stay between your man and the basket.” As Fraser put it, “The craziest thing is to see people actively try not to be between Steph and the basket most of the time.

forcing him to the basket.”

But Curry has also become an elite scorer around the rim, leaving no enviable options for opposing coaches.

Dunleavy, whose son, Mike Jr., is the Warriors’ assistant general manager, often watches games and feels thankful that he doesn’t have to game plan for Curry.

“This guy’s an absolute assassin,” Dunleavy said.

“I’m in awe of him.”

When Dunleavy paced the NBA in made 3-pointers, 3-point attempts and 3-point percentage as a reserve guard for the Spurs in 1982-83, many still considered the 3-point arc a publicity stunt. It had been introduced three years earlier.

Intent on keeping their shooting percentages up, a lot of players avoided the perimeter entirely.

Now, many players spend much of the game parked along the arc. Last season, 28 of the 30 NBA teams took at least a third of their shots from 3-point range, with the Wizards (31.9%) and Spurs (31.4%) the lone exceptions.

No player is more responsible for the league’s 3-point craze going into overdrive than Curry, who, in just his 13th season, already holds almost every major 3-point record. When he passes Allen in coming days for the most career 3-pointers made, he’ll have needed roughly 60% as many games as Allen required.

Asked Monday what breaking Allen’s record will mean to him, Curry said, “I’ll talk about it when it happens. You’re going to make me cry up here, bro. Don’t do that.

Don’t do that.”

serving incorrigible customers driving workers to flee the restaurant industry are studies showing that the 25 states that ended unemployment benefits early saw no corresponding rise in employment. Serving obnoxious Americans is turning out to be another in a long line of jobs Americans aren’t willing to do.

So look for these jobs to be taken over more and more by immigrants and automation. Yes, in the near future it will be a machine asking if you want fries with that burger.

What can we do in the interim?

Ever since the first lockdown in March 2020, I’ve increased the amount I tip, not lowered it. If servers have ever earned an extra tip, it’s been during this pandemic. But obviously, not everyone can afford to do that. So the easiest thing we can all do is take a breath, give those struggling workers a break and thank them for what they do. Especially this holiday season, go out of your way to make employees feel appreciated. That costs you nothing but kindness.

Give your fellow Americans a pat on the back now because in no time at all it will be an impersonal hunk of silicon taking and delivering your order. And we may wish we had the human connection that we take for granted today. Peace.

IMPORTANT ADDRESSES

alifornians – particularly politicians and we in the media – talk a lot about the state’s housing crisis and how it could be resolved.

Simply put, we haven’t been building enough to meet the demand, even though the state’s once-robust population growth has slowed to a near-standstill, and the supply-demand mismatch drives up costs for both renters and would-be homeowners.

High housing costs are the major reason California has the nation’s highest rate of functional poverty and the second lowest rate of home ownership, just ahead of New York.

If anything, the pandemic Dan Walters has exacerbated the crisis. Distress among renters, many of whom suffered job losses, has increased while home prices have risen dramatically, with a median second only to Hawaii’s.

Although the housing shortage has received much media and political attention in recent years, it actually has been developing for decades, despite periodic spurts of production, as a new report from the Public Policy Institute of California underscores.

Citing data from the 2020 Census, Public Policy Institute of California researchers calculated that “the state added 3.2 times more people than housing units over the last 10 years.

There are now 2.93 Californians for every occupied housing unit, behind only Utah (3.09) and Hawaii (2.93), and far above the average of all other states (2.53).”

“Though coastal housing is the most expensive, the biggest percent change in housing values has actually occurred in inland regions,” the Public Policy Institute of California continues. “To avoid higher coastal prices, many residents have moved to the Central Valley, east of the Bay Area, and the Inland Empire east of Los Angeles. In the process, they have driven up prices in their new neighborhoods as well.”

The Public Policy Institute of California report cites a 2015 study by the Legislative Analyst’s Office that delved into the underlying reasons for the housing crisis. The Legislative Analyst’s Office said that to avoid extreme cost increases, the state should have been building at last 70,000 more units a year, and perhaps as many as 110,000, from 1980 to 2010. It estimates the shortfall over that 30-year period at about 3.5 million units.

Gavin Newsom cited that figure while running for governor in 2018 and pledged that the gap would be closed by 2025. It was a fanciful promise, requiring construction to roughly quintuple to a half-million units a year, but if anything it has remained static or even declined.

“Average annual production has actually slowed, from 147,000 per year in the first decade of the century to just 71,000 per year since,” the Public Policy Institute of California notes. “Construction dropped almost everywhere, but the drop was larger outside the expensive coastal counties (Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego, as well as the Bay Area). And while the pace has picked up recently, it is not enough to overcome the years of lag.”

The state’s official housing production goal is 180,000 units a year and the Department of Housing and Community Development imposes numerical quotas on regions, which then become quotas on local governments, to zone enough land for their projected needs.

The department recently gained new powers to enforce its quotas and to block cities from bowing to local opposition to specific developments. The current state budget also boasts of spending $10 billion to spur housing for lowincome families and another $7 billion to battle homelessness.

“These changes signal a more pro-housing stance, but it remains to be seen whether they are enough to boost production to the levels many consider necessary,” the Public Policy Institute of California concludes.

There are no magic solutions. Given the scope of the crisis and decades of construction shortfalls, making even marginal progress would be nothing short of miraculous.

Instinctively, I knew the sporty driver would be perfectly OK. The folks who were in danger were the other drivers, and by the reaction of my nerves, I was certain that I was about to get driven into the Pena Adobe valley when one of the rigs was forced to change lanes suddenly to avoid the sports car, or more likely, another trucker who had slowed just as suddenly to avoid the sports car.

The second lesson is, of course, there is no reason why these truckers are taking up three lanes.

I understand, and even appreciate, the truckers who drive one lane over so they do not have to move in and out of traffic as vehicles merge onto the freeway. It is a good place for them.

And some prefer to stay in that “slow lane.” Good for them. Good for us smaller commuter-types.

Then there are those who, perhaps, think of themselves as legends of the blacktop, and not just congestion convoys.

Ariana DeBose as Anita and David Alvarez as Bernardo in the film “West Side Story.”

How choreographer Justin Peck created dances for Spielberg’s ‘West Side Story’ Tribune Content Agency Choreographer Justin Peck grew up with “West Side Story.”

The son of a New York City father and an Argentine immigrant mother, he was first shown the 1961 movie musical when he was very young – the family by then lived in California, and Peck thinks his parents were feeling nostalgic. “I was so enamored by what I witnessed,” Peck said, in a Zoom interview earlier this month. “Seeing men perform and express themselves through movement was something I couldn’t fully comprehend, but something I knew I wanted to seek out.”

He studied dance, came to New York at 15, and eventually became a member of New York City Ballet, where he is now acting resident choreographer.

But life came full circle a few years ago, when he was asked to create the choreography for Steven Spielberg’s new movie of “West Side Story,” filmed in 2019 and in theaters this week after a yearlong pandemic delay. Peck knew the original Jerome Robbins choreography intricately: Robbins, who died in 1998, was a longtime choreographer and ballet master for NYCB, and Peck frequently performed in “West Side Story Suite,” a collection of dances Robbins adapted from the stage show. But Spielberg and Peck didn’t want to simply recreate Robbins’ work; their goal was to keep the iconic songs, but create something new with the dances.

“It kind of felt like an organic runway, leading up to this daunting task,” Peck said. “I was able to trust that Jerome Robbins’ legacy and voice was sort of running through my own. He’s a personal hero of mine and definitely an influence on me as a choreographer, so I could sort of trust that and let go of the pressure to conscientiously pay homage to him. I

knew it would come out naturally in my own work.”

The new choreography, he said, is a kind of amalgamation, for which he took a good look at the original work and the film’s 1950s time period “and then having the confidence to wrap that all up into my own voice and vision as an artist. I’m not a dance history stager. I’m interested in creating my own work and my own language as a choreographer. ... I wanted it to feel current and relevant and urgent for an audience of today.”

With permission from the Robbins estate to go ahead with their own vision (“It was great to have that kind of faith in what we were doing”), Peck, with assistant choreographers Patricia Delgado and Craig Salstein, set about making the dances his own. The “Prologue” here is less a montage and more a linear exploration of daily life as a Jet, with dance as the language that binds them. “Cool,” after “months and months” of meetings and discussions with Spielberg, was moved to earlier in the story and transformed into a dramatic confrontation at a pier. And “America,” on a rooftop in the original film, spilled out into a sun-splashed street, celebrating the beauty of an immigrant neighborhood.

“That was one of the most ambitious numbers, and we kind of felt like we needed to go big or go home with it,” Peck said. Ultimately shot over 10 days, the movement was inspired by Latin dance – “the transition from mambo to salsa” beginning to take place during that time – and by the drama taking place between two characters. As Bernardo and Anita argue, “once things get too heightened and there needs to be a release valve, that came in the form of a dance outburst, a dance expression, and a continuation of that argu-

ment through a release in their dance movement.”

Involved with the film since its early days, Peck assisted in the monumental task of casting the film’s dancers: more than 60 of them. All of them had to be “quadruple threats,” Peck said – able to dance, sing, act and “project and communicate through the camera lens” – and, unlike in the earlier film, everyone playing a Puerto Rican character needed to be of Latino descent. The casting crew saw “thousands and thousands” of people, Peck said, describing multiple trips to Puerto Rico, Miami, and Los Angeles as well as numerous casting calls in New York. “It was really important to get it right and cast it authentically.”

Once the cast was assembled, rehearsals and filming began. As in a dance company, each day on the set began with a company dance class, to “create a unified daily approach to how we went about our work ... to kind of align and check in with each other, and feel the sense of camaraderie in the room.” That room, he said, was filled with “one of the most talent-filled casts that maybe there ever was . . . I was constantly blown away and inspired daily by their talents and their commitment and their belief in this project, and I think you can feel that on the screen.”

Now that “West Side Story” is finally available for audiences to see, Peck hopes it might change a few young lives. “I was personally just so inspired by seeing the original film as a young person, and it led me to find a life in dance that I’m so grateful for. I hope that this film can, in turn, inspire a whole next generation of dancers and performers and artists who hopefully see themselves on the screen and say, I want to do that.”

and East shifts to a spade: jack, queen, ace. What now?

North’s three-club rebid was fourth-suit game-forcing. His jump to four hearts was a mild slam-try. (If he was interested only in game, he would have rebid four hearts, not three clubs.

If wishing to make a serious slam-try, he would have bid three hearts over three diamonds.)

Declarer should crossruff. He discards a diamond on the club queen, ruffs a spade, pitches a spade on the diamond ace, ruffs a diamond, ruffs a club, ruffs a diamond and ruffs a spade.

When West cannot overruff, South ruffs his last diamond and takes one more trump trick. He loses only one club and two hearts.

However, our opponent adopted a slightly different approach. After a club to the ace, a spade to the ace, the club queen, a spade ruff and the diamond ace, South played a heart to the queen.

‘Silent Night’ film combines Christmas with the apocalypse Tribune Content Agency There’s a lot to unwrap for the family at the center of Keira Knightley’s new apocalyptic Christmas movie.

The English actress stars in the dark comedy “Silent Night” as a concerned mother who tries to salvage one final Christmas dinner with her loved ones as the end of the world rapidly approaches.

“Christmas always, when you’re an adult, is quite an interesting time of year, because often you’re sort of forced into a house with your extended family,” Knightley told the Daily News.

“The family dynamics can be quite explosive, and then you add alcohol into the mix, and then you add the pressure of it being Christmas, and therefore everybody having to have a good time.

“I love that this (movie) took that . . . and then added the extra pressure of it being the last Christmas,” she said. “So not only is it a Christmas you have to enjoy, but it’s your last day on Earth.”

Tensions are high throughout “Silent Night,” now in theaters and on AMC+, as Knightley’s Nell hosts her relatives at an estate in rural England.

Earth is facing an environmental crisis, as a fast-spreading toxic cloud kills everyone who encounters it. The British government encourages citizens to take suicide pills, causing contention within Nell’s family.

“She’s decided that either (her family is) going to die a horrific death, because whatever it is that’s been released is going to kill them horrifically, or they’re going to take the government-administered pill,” Knightley, 36, said.

“They’ll go to sleep and they’ll die, but it’ll be a very gentle death and they’ll know nothing about it.”

The film also stars Roman Griffin Davis as Art – one of Nell’s three sons – who questions the necessity of taking the pill, and doesn’t trust what the government is telling the public.

“He’s got very opposing opinions to the rest of

Roman Griffin Davis as Art in the film “Silent Night.” his family. . . . He’s kind of challenging the truth,” Davis, 14, told The News.

Davis, who previously played the title character in the World War II-era satire “Jojo Rabbit,” said the looming apocalypse in the movie helped emphasize how badly the family wanted Christmas to be perfect.

“In the end, they get a dysfunctional mess,” Davis said.

“Silent Night” was written and directed by Davis’ mother, Camille Griffin, whose other two sons also appear in the movie.

Knightley praised the way the filmmaker infused comedy, horror and psychological elements into the Christmastime flick.

“I just read the script and loved it, and thought it was absolutely hilarious in the most obscene, shocking way,” Knightley said. “I think part of it was because I was incredibly pregnant, and I had a really hard pregnancy, and I was feeling very annoyed. When I read it, it was exactly what I needed in that particular moment.”

Knightley, who starred in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies and received Oscar nominations for “Pride and Prejudice” and “The Imitation Game,” said her character badly wants to protect her kids from the impending doom, but is ultimately failing.

“She has the image of her kids as being younger than they are,” Knightley said. “They actually need a lot more from her than she can give, and she’s sort of babying them in a way that is unhelpful, and yet it’s this incredibly extreme sort of scenario. I totally forgave her for the way that she’s slightly mucking up.”

who blocked Aiyuk downfield. “So we might as well run it.”

Still, it wasn’t a complete shock to the Seahawks when Homer made the call: They had seen the 49ers’ alignment during their pregame preparation.

“That’s the guys that picked up on an opportunity for us in the study during the week,” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said. “. . . Going into the weekend, if we got the chance, kind of wherever it was, if it was legit and we really saw it clean, then (we decided) let’s go for it.”

Other observations from a loss that dropped the 49ers to 6-6 and snapped their three-game winning streak: n The fake-punt TD was part of a specialteams performance by the 49ers that was unacceptably poor. But the trickle-down effect of injuries played a role.

For example, wideout Travis Benjamin, who fumbled away the second-half kickoff, was subbing for Trenton Cannon, who suffered a concussion on the game’s first play. And the 49ers’ heavy attrition at linebacker meant core specialteams player Demetrius FlanniganFowles played a season-high 51 defensive snaps and only eight special-teams snaps, a season low.

Some of those snaps were filled by linebacker Justin March,

FAIRFIELD — Goalkeeper Zawadi Kapappa had double figures in saves but it wasn’t enough to keep the Rodriguez High girls soccer team from suffering a 2-1 loss to Pitman of Turlock, Friday.

The Mustangs also got solid play from centerback Angelita Chavez, and right midfielder Morgan Witt, who saved a goal by clearing the ball out of harm’s way.

FAIRFIELD — Valley of Sacramento scored in the sixth minute and used two second-half goals in rolling to a 3-1 victory over Armijo at Brownlee Field, Monday night.

Diego Torres tied it up for the Royals early in the second half, but the Vikings found the net twice more despite the efforts of Armijo goalkeeper Jonathon Harrington to come away with the win.

“We knew coming into this game that it would be tough,” Royals coach Megan Flores said. “We had our moments where we stepped up to the plate and moved the ball flawless through and around their players, but we let simple mistakes and long balls bring down our play.”

The Royals JV team dropped a 1-0 decision on a goal from distance that went over the head of leaping goalkeeper Abraham Martinez. Francisco Orozco took several good shots and Edwing Pacheco had a goal disallowed.

Armijo is at Lincoln of Stockton on Wednesday.

28, who was signed to the practice squad last Wednesday and moved to the active roster Saturday.

How did he perform on his 15 special-teams snaps? March’s most notable play was one on which he appeared to pull up instead of blocking the hard-charging Bellore on the second-half kickoff.

The result: Bellore drilled Benjamin and forced the fumble the Seahawks recovered.

The 49ers released March on Monday. n It immediately looked like running back Elijah Mitchell suffered a concussion when he was hit in the helmet by defensive end Darrell Taylor’s elbow at the end of a run late in the third quarter. Mitchell dropped to the ground, let go of the ball and momentarily laid motionless with his hands across his chest. Both tight end George Kittle and left tackle Trent Williams looked down at Mitchell and began waving to the sideline for medical assistance.

However, Mitchell returned to the game on the next series, had four carries in the fourth quarter and wasn’t placed in the concussion protocol until Monday when he reported symptoms.

Mitchell got back in the game because he was cleared to return after he was evaluated for a concussion on the sideline by an independent doctor, per NFL rules.

The system isn’t foolproof: The previous Sunday, linebacker Marcell Harris also was cleared during the game, reported next-day symptoms and remained in the protocol for the entire week, missing the Seattle game.

Vanden: Defense From Page B1 and interceptions and doing some scoring on defense – such as Tyler Mendoza’s 25-yard fumble return against Dixon, York’s 23-yard fumble return against Vista del Lago, Breed’s 35-yard interception return – on the first play of the game – and East’s 24-yard pick six against Merced, and East’s heroics against Windsor.

“So they’re working on creating turnovers every day,” Murphy said.

A turning point for the team and especially the defense was a 35-17 loss to Vacaville on Oct. 15 – Vanden’s last defeat – in which the Bulldogs rolled up 260 yards rushing and 467 total, the most given up by the Vikings this season.

“It was eye-opening for them, the little mistakes we had been making and hadn’t fixed and Vacaville took advantage,” Murphy

said. “The guys bought into it and fixed a lot of issues we had.”

In Aquinas’ 42-28 comeback win over Newport Harbor, the Falcons (10-5) put up numbers similar to what Vacaville amassed against Vanden, rushing for 263 yards, 209 by freshman Jusyis Solis, with quarterback Dre Robles completing 8-of-12 passes for 188 yards.

Murphy said “it’s absolutely crucial” that the Vanden defense have another solid game on Saturday. “We have to stop their run game, it’s their run game and size vs. our speed (and mobility). It’s important we get stops. We can’t let them get rolling and eat up large chunks of clock. They have a power running game and we have to slow that down.”
