Supervisors look to ‘reboot’ Solano Family Justice Center Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors are looking for new leadership at the Family Justice Center. “I think I had my hair blown back,” Supervisor Erin Hannigan said about her reaction to a highly critical report on the center’s management structure and operations. That review was conducted by the Alliance of Hope International, a recognized leader on developing organizations and systems to address domestic violence and related issues, which found the center lacking in a number of areas. Casey Gwinn, the president hannigan and co-founder of the group, called into the meeting and told the board that the Solano center does not come close to meeting the alliance’s standards of what a family justice center is, nor does it comply with the state’s Penal Code definition. Gwinn said the alliance’s review was not an audit or even a comprehensive review, which spering he said would take months to complete. However, two experts, both with backgrounds in district attorney-run centers, observed problems with the Solano operation. “We believe this needs a fresh look in Solano County,” said Gwinn, adding later that “survivors are desperate for services in Solano County.” Gwinn tempered the comment by saying the remarks are not meant as criticism of the efforts by the center director or staff, but that a change See Reboot, Page A5

Supes direct staff to bring back sales tax proposal for June ballot

Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday directed staff to come back in February with the needed documents to place a one-eighth cent sales tax increase on the June ballot. The tax, if approved by a majority of voters, would generate an estimated $9 million to $10 million in general tax revenue that the supervisors said would go toward fire prevention and response. “We have a responsibility to bring this issue forward and let the citizens decide if this is a very important issue for them,” said Supervisor Jim Spering, who sits on the ad hoc committee with Supervisor John Vasquez that brought the recommendation to the board. The tax would have a sunset clause, recommended by the committee to be 10 to 12 years, but likely extended to 15 years on

The tax, if approved by a majority of voters, would generate an estimated $9 million to $10 million in general tax revenue that the supervisors said would go toward fire prevention and response. the suggestion from Supervisor Monica Brown. Also incorporated into the language were comments from Supervisor Erin Hannigan that at least a portion of the dollars, perhaps 5% she said, should go toward improving public access to county parks and open spaces. While Spering and Vasquez emphasized the tax would benefit every citizen in the county, if only by saving resources that would otherwise go to other needs, Hannigan suggested that would not be true in Vallejo.

“You will be asking (Vallejo residents) to pay into a sales tax they may never see the benefit from,” said Hannigan, the leading proponent for a countywide park and open space district, including a tax source to support the district. It was not immediately clear what percentage of Vallejo residents would take advantage of increased access to parks and open space. “It matters to all county residents,” said Supervisor Mitch Mashburn, whose district touches four cities. Mashburn noted that people coming in and out of the county, many who use Solano’s parks and open spaces, do represent some level of fire threat, and with a sales tax, would be contributing to the tax revenue. Hannigan said that because it would be a general tax, the funds could be used for anything, See Ballot, Page A5

CDC: Omicron could dominate in the US within ‘weeks’ Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Omicron is rapidly spreading and could become the predominant variant of the coronavirus in the United States “on the order of weeks” over the delta variant, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Tuesday. New CDC data released earlier Tuesday showed that omicron now makes up 3% of all sequenced cases of Covid-19 across the country, and roughly 13% in New York and New Jersey. “We’ve seen it compete pretty aggressively with the delta variant in other countries, namely the U.K. and Denmark, and we are anticipating that we will have more cases,” Walensky said in an interview with McClatchy. “It may well be able to outcompete delta. I think we’re still on the order of weeks.” “What we have seen in these other countries is a doubling time of omicron of around two days, which is really rapid doubling time. So I anticipate if the same were to hold true here that that See CDC, Page A5

Text messages renew focus on Trump’s inaction during Jan. 6 attack at Capitol The Washington Post Newly released text messages that were sent on Jan. 6 to Mark Meadows, a former chief of staff in the Trump White House, have put a renewed focus on President Donald Trump’s failure to act quickly to stop the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol as it was unfolding, despite real-time pleas from lawmakers, journalists and even his eldest son. At least half a dozen people reached out during the riot to Meadows to ask – in some cases, beg – Trump to intervene, according to text messages detailed this week by Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., the vice chair of the House select committee investigating the attack. The bipartisan panel is investigating the storming of the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob that tried to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s electoral college

win, a siege that resulted in five deaths and left some 140 members of law enforcement injured. On Tuesday, Cheney read aloud texts that Republican members of Congress had sent Meadows on Jan. 6 after rioters breached the Capitol. The disclosures came as the House was poised to vote to hold Meadows in criminal contempt of Congress for defying the committee’s subpoena. “It is really bad up here,” one said, according See Focus, Page A5

I fell asleep, but awoke a I could tell you stories about bit later to hear my mother every Christmas I’ve been given arguing with someone at the a most wanted and needed gift.

But we aren’t getting younger, so I’ll fast forward to this year. My sister and brother and I are the oldest survivors of our family. They live in South Carolina. I live in California. We try to keep in touch by phone. Bobbie recently moved to an assisted living facility. And Joe, who is totally blind and severely impaired by cerebral palsy, lives alone in public housing. Sending them gifts has never been easy, and it seems it’s getting harder. The only gift Bobbie says she wants is a visit. Or candy. Due to Covid, I can’t visit her. So I sent her a box of candy and a small Christmas tree. I hope by some miracle they will reach her. Joe is even harder. In recent years, most packages I’ve sent to him were stolen from his porch. Gift certificates and personal checks vanish from his mail box. Even shipments that require his signature don’t

always work. Joe moves like a drunken snail with a walker. By the time he gets to the door, the carrier is gone. “Don’t worry, Sister,” he says. “You don’t need to send me anything. I know you love me.” It’s hard to picture my brother getting nothing for Christmas. But I couldn’t find a solution. Then I called Bobbie and found her in rare high spirits. “Martha came to see me!” she said, “and, bless her heart, she brought me all these treats!” Martha is my forever friend. We grew up together and have stayed close, despite living miles apart. We don’t talk often, but when we do, it’s hard to say goodbye. When I phoned to thank her for visiting Bobbie, we spent a good hour catching up. Finally, I said, “Thank you for visiting my sister. It meant more to me than it did to her. And she loved it. Especially

the treats.” Martha laughed. “I will do anything for you. I want to help. What can I do for Joe?” Suddenly, there it was: my most wanted, most needed gift. I smiled and shook my head. So I’ll send Joe’s gift to Martha. She’ll drive 30 miles in any kind of weather and maybe get lost looking for his place, but she’ll make sure he gets it. Kindness is a gift any time of year. But it is especially wanted and needed at Christmas. I wish you much kindness this Christmas and always. I hope you get lots of it and give it all away. And I pray you’ll be blessed, as I am, with a friend like Martha, whose kindness to you and to those you love will keep you smiling and shaking your head.

Zebras in Maryland have been caught after months on the run The Washington Post

for levity amid the tribulations of the ongoing pandemic. But then news broke that one of the escaped zebras had died, and in mid-October, the county announced that a second zebra from Holly’s herd had been found dead on the farm. Soon after, the Animal Services Division in Prince George’s County filed criminal animal cruelty charges against Holly. Attempts to reach Holly over the months since the zebras’ escape have been unsuccessful. County, state and federal officials working on investigating the deaths, Holly’s herd and the escape of the zebras have released few details about how the animals escaped or what exactly was being done to capture them. Officials have said for months they were working with Holly and the animals’ caretakers who work for him. Inspectors with the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a recent report that the three zebras escaped on Aug. 22 when they were being brought to Holly’s Maryland farm “during the unloading process.” About a month later, Holly was told by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources that one of the escaped zebras had been found with a “leg in a snare trap” and was dead near a fence just outside of the property, on a parcel of uninhabited land owned by the Girl Scouts. The Girl Scouts

After four months on the run in the Maryland suburbs, two zebras that escaped from an exotic animal farm have been caught. Spokespeople for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service and Prince George’s County Department of the Environment confirmed that the zebras had been captured, but could not provide details on when the rescue took place. Neither the USDA nor Prince George’s County Animal Services were involved in the capture, but were notified Monday that the zebras had been recovered and returned to their herd. Prince George’s County officials said they had spent weeks working with the zebra caretakers trying to lure them into a corral using food and other zebras from the herd. The pair were part of a trio that in late August got away from a large farm owned by Jerry Holly in Upper Marlboro, authorities said. One of the zebras died soon after their escape when it got caught in an illegal snare trap on a property neighboring Holly’s farm, which is located off Duley Station Road. Officials have said at least 30 zebras live in a herd there. Before the story turned grim, the saga of Maryland’s roaming zebras had captured the attention and adoration of residents in the region looking

said in a statement that the snare trap, which is illegal in Maryland, was placed by an “unauthorized trespasser” on their property. The inspectors also said that the zebras were “not handled in a manner that demonstrated the licensee and staff were knowledgeable of the handling of zebras,” resulting in one of them getting killed. A second dead zebra was discovered on Holly’s property in an enclosure with other members of the herd. Officials said that zebra had been dead long enough that it had entered the “rigor-mortis stage,” according to court papers. On Oct. 19, Holly was charged with three counts of animal cruelty and accused of failing to provide food and shelter and inflicting “unnecessary suffering or pain on a Zebra.” County officials had assured the public for weeks that they were trying to safely lure the animals with food to an area and then gradually put up a fence to enclose them and get them back to their farm. The caretaker for the Girl Scouts’ property, Theodore McKenzie, had also been feeding the zebras, but says the county asked him to stop so they could take over the rescue efforts. “I’m very relieved that they’re safe and they were captured and they’re no longer running free,” says McKenzie, who had feared the zebras would be hit by a car.

State: Masks to be required in indoor public places starting Wednesday Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County, again, finds itself on the outside looking in at state regulations that do not seem to apply to its Covid-19 environment. The state on Monday, citing a case increase of 50% since Thanksgiving, has ordered that masks will be required in all indoor public places from Wednesday to at least Jan. 15. That applies to people who have been vaccinated as well. and Vallejo Benicia have had similar orders in place for several months. Proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test within the prior 48 hours matyas of attending any mega-event – inside or outside – also has been ordered by the state. Mega-events are any indoor gathering with 1,000 or more people, and

A pedestrian wearing a face mask crosses Travis Boulevard in Fairfield, Tuesday. 10,000 people or more for outdoor events. “So, if you are going to a concert or a football game or any big event, you are required to be tested (in the prior) 48 hours,” Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said. The state also adopted the federal omicron travel rule requiring anyone

entering from an international flight to be tested within three days of arrival. Matyas said Solano County has not seen the kind of disease rate to which the state is reacting. He said unless there is a big reporting correction from the state, Solano does not appear to have experienced anything but a mild Thanksgiving bump. “We are not experiencing a surge,” he said.

noted the Matyas county added 103 new coronavirus cases since Friday’s report, a daily average of 34.33, with a 10-day daily average dropping from 40.2 cases, as reported Friday, to 22.3 cases as of Monday. Monday’s report also showed no new Covidrelated deaths, holding at 339, while the number of residents hospitalized with the disease dipped from 21 to 15 and the number of patients in intensive care units fell from seven to four. “These numbers are encouraging. The problem is the state could dump large numbers on us,” Matyas said. The vaccination rates did not change, with 67% of the population 5 or older having been fully vaccinated and 77% of that population having received at least one shot. There have been 75,632 booster shots administered. See Masks, Page A4

Survey: Californians will enforce their own vaccine mandates to protect elderly Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — As the state moves back into indoor masking, a study revealed 70% of California households will enforce their own vaccine mandates over the holidays to protect elderly relatives. Duffy & Duffy, a New York-based medical malpractice law firm, commissioned a survey of 3,758 respondents to deduce people’s opinions about having unvaccinated family members around their elderly relatives this holiday season.

“The holidays can be a difficult time for those with elderly relatives in care or nursing homes,” a press release about the survey said. For those with elderly relatives in nursing homes or care facilities, 44% said they have concerns about unvaccinated home employees returning to work after the holidays, after being out and about celebrating. The survey noted that earlier in the year, nearly one-fifth of U.S. coronavirus deaths were linked to nursing facilities.

Seventy-seven percent of people questioned in the survey believe nursing homes should require all staff to be fully vaccinated. “Although the festive period is typically one in which extended families including elderly relatives celebrate together, difficult questions will need to be addressed regarding people’s vaccination status, not only in facilities such as nursing homes but within families, too – par-

FAIRFIELD — Two unrelated incidents of online threats to Fairfield and Vacaville high schools last week led to the arrest of a pair of teenagers. While the threats themselves are a felony, the investigations of both found no credibility to the threat being carried out. Fairfield High School staff was made aware Friday of a potential threat to the school

and students. The tip came from an anonymous source and was immediately reported to the Fairfield Police Department. Officers from the Youth Services Unit investigated but had little to go on. Precautions were put in place for the current school week as the investigation continued. Social media posts circulated Sunday about the threat and were forwarded to school See Threats, Page A10

Since the summer, the delta variant has accounted for roughly 99% of all cases in the United States.

public health experts have received several pieces of good news from studies and data on the variant in the weeks since it first emerged. Two doses of the existing vaccines still provide some immunity against the new variant, and a third “booster” dose provides strong protection. Another natural layer of protection, from T cells in the immune system, appears to provide an additional layer of defense against omicron. Hospitalization rates and average lengths of hospital stays in countries that have seen large surges of omicron cases have been much lower than in previous waves.

to Cheney. Others texted, “The president needs to stop this ASAP” and “Fix this now.” The text messages were among thousands of documents related to Jan. 6, including other text messages and emails, that Meadows turned over to the committee before he abruptly stopped fully cooperating with the panel last week. If the House approves the resolution to hold Meadows in contempt, it will be up to the Justice Department to decide whether to pursue charges against the former White House chief of staff as it did former Trump adviser Steve Bannon for not cooperating with the panel. Contempt of Congress is a misdemeanor criminal offense that can result in up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000. Meadows is a key figure in the panel’s investigation because he remained in close proximity to Trump during the time between the election and the attack, as the president tried to overturn the results and spread false claims of voter fraud. During floor debate on the contempt resolution Tuesday, members of the Jan. 6 committee sought to portray Meadows as involved in or aware of all the plotting Trump and his allies were doing to keep him in power. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., read one message to Meadows from an unidentified sender regarding the possibility that Jeffrey Clark – the former acting head of the Justice Department’s Civil Division, who appeared open to pursuing Trump’s attempts to overturn the election results – would replace Jeffrey Rosen, then the acting attorney general. “I heard Jeff Clark is getting put in on Monday. That’s amazing. It will make a lot of patriots happy. And I’m personally so proud that you are at the tip of the spear

Vasquez said it would be up to the Board of Supervisors to make sure the tax revenue is used for the intended purpose of dealing with the threat of wildland fires, but that could be vegetation control, helping fire districts with personnel and equipment needs, even locating stations in highneed areas. Brown also requested that a formal oversight process be included in the measure so the public could see precisely how the funds are spent, which was included in the action taken by the board. George Guynn Jr. of Suisun City favored seeking a dedicated tax so the use of the funds would be specifically spelled out. He also preferred that it would then take a

and I could call you a friend,” Schiff said the Jan. 3 text read. Most of the focus this week, however, has been on the fact that Meadows is one of a few people who may be able to provide insight into why Trump stayed silent for hours while the Capitol was ransacked by his supporters rather than call off the mob and then released a video hours later that praised the rioters even as he asked them to stop their offensive on Congress. During a committee meeting Monday night, Cheney revealed several other texts to Meadows from Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham, Brian Kilmeade and Sean Hannity, all of whom have since downplayed the severity of the insurrection in their coverage. On Jan. 6, however, the urgency in their entreaties to Meadows was clear. “Mark, the president needs to tell people in the Capitol to go home. This is hurting all of us. He is destroying his legacy,” Ingraham wrote. “Please get him on TV,” Kilmeade wrote, adding that the attack was “destroying everything you have accomplished.” Hannity similarly asked Meadows if Trump could “make a statement” and “ask people to leave the Capitol.” “As we saw last night, dozens of texts – including from Trump administration officials, from members of the press, from Donald Trump Jr. – urged immediate action by the president,” Cheney said Tuesday. “But we know hours passed with no action by the president to defend the Congress of the United States from an assault while we were trying to count electoral votes.” Timestamps for the newly released text messages to Meadows are not yet publicly known, but from the moment the Capitol was breached at 2:11 p.m. on Jan. 6, Trump resisted calls to intervene for 187 minutes – more than three hours – while watching the riot play out on television. In the first two hours alone, the mob broke into both the House speaker’s office and the Senate chamber.

Three rioters died in that time frame, and scores of police officers were assaulted, some with their own weapons, while dozens of lawmakers feared for their lives in hiding. Through it all was a lack of action from Trump. In the first message Trump posted to Twitter after the Capitol was breached, he continued to blame Vice President Mike Pence for not blocking the certification of the 2020 election results. At the time, some in the mob outside the Capitol were chanting “Hang Mike Pence!” and Pence himself was being evacuated with his family to a secured location. “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!” Trump tweeted at 2:24 p.m. that day. At 2:38 p.m., Trump tweeted, “Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!” At some point after the 2:38 p.m. tweet, Trump Jr. texted Meadows with a frantic request for his father, according to messages read aloud Monday by Cheney. “He’s got to condemn this s – t ASAP,” Trump Jr. wrote, according to Cheney. “The Capitol Police tweet is not enough.” “I’m pushing it hard,” Meadows responded. “I agree.” “We need an Oval Office address. He has to lead now,” Trump Jr. continued. “It has gone too far and gotten out of hand.” At 2:45 p.m., Punchbowl News founder Jake Sherman also sent Meadows a series of text messages: “Do something for us . . . We are under siege in the cpaitol [sic] . . . There’s an armed standoff at the house chamber door . . . We’re all helpless . . .” Sherman said he never received a response, but the timing of his texts would indi-

cate Meadows had been made further aware of the severity of the situation from someone inside the Capitol even after Trump’s second tweet. At 3:13 p.m., Trump tweeted: “I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!” It would be more than an hour before Trump addressed the nation again, and it wouldn’t be until the worst of the attack had subsided. At 4:17 p.m., he posted a video to his Twitter account, telling rioters, “Go home. We love you, you’re very special.” “I know your pain, I know you’re hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us,” Trump said in the video, continuing to push his baseless claims that the 2020 election had been rigged against him. “But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don’t want anybody hurt. It’s a very tough period of time . . . So go home. We love you, you’re very special.” A representative for Trump did not respond to a request for comment Tuesday. The Washington Post has previously reported that several other highprofile Republicans attempted to contact Trump or his closest aides during the insurrection to get him to call off the mob. Some of those included Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, former senior counselor Kellyanne Conway and former communications director Alyssa Farah, who told Meadows, “If someone doesn’t say something, people will die.” Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser, D, also called Meadows to request help from the National Guard. On Monday, Cheney said the newly revealed texts were “further evidence of President Trump’s supreme dereliction of duty during those 187 minutes.”

two-thirds vote to pass. “The thing is, taxes should be hard to get because once we get them they never go away,” said Guynn, who added that with the Covid-19 pandemic, this might not be the right time to be asking for any tax and the county should be looking at what can be cut in other places to generate the funds. David Stevens, an English Hills resident of 17 years and lifelong Solano resident, said four fires in 2017 alone threatened his home, and of course, the LNU Lightning Complex Fire did the same in August 2019. He noted many of this neighbors were not as lucky as he and his family. “Something has to change,” Stevens said. “We need to implement strong education, engineering and enforcement for fire prevention . . . . We need to manage our wildlands instead of our wildlands managing us in the heat of the moment,” Stevens said.

Jeff Dittmer, the board chairman of the Cordelia Fire Protection District, said the funding mechanism created with Proposition 13 no longer keeps up with the costs of fire district management. A fire truck that once cost $35,000 now costs more than $500,000. “That is not a criticism of Prop. 13; that’s just the way it is,” Dittmer said. A survey was taken to gauge the reaction of residents about wildland fires. The poll showed that 65% of those interviewed listed wildfire protection as very important. On a numbered scale, with seven being very important, 91% rate fire protection at five or higher. That compares to a 2020 survey that showed 52% at very important and 85% at the higher importance values. The need for funding wildfire protection received 81% support between responses of greet need (41%) and some

need (40%), which compared to the 2020 survey showing 75% support (34% great need, 41% some need). Where the funds should be spent has higher levels of importance to prevent the spread of wildfires from wildland areas to neighborhoods (61% very important; 86% overall), reduce the risk of wildfires (57% and 85%), improve 911 response times (54% and 86%) and reduce vegetation and flammable brush (50% and 84%). Add firebreaks to prevent wildfire spread; improve early wildfire detection systems; ensure defensible space around homes, neighborhoods, and critical infrastructure; manage vegetation in public open space; improve emergency evacuation routes and procedures; and increase volunteer firefighter training all received at least 80% in overall importance ratings, but less than 50% of the respondents rated them as very important.

come back with a request for proposal to find a new lead agency, a recommendation that was high on the alliance list. That agency could be a nonprofit or another government agency – both likely to come from outside the county – or a host of other options. “You have confirmed some of the fears I had,” Supervisor Jim Spering said. Spering said the focus must be on the victims and not on looking back

to find fault. However, he said it is an issue of how the center is managed. The alliance recommended that the director receive leadership training, and that a comprehensive strategic plan be developed with the creation of “a county working group in the interim to navigate and manage the day to day at the center.” However, the board kept that day-to-day management in the hands of the District Attor-

ney’s Office for the time being, while the budget oversight will stay with the County Administrator’s Office. The alliance also recommended creating a funding and sustainability workgroup, a redesign of the center’s space, and identifying appropriate space for the satellite office in Vallejo. District Attorney Krishna Abrams did not attend the meeting. Neither did the center’s director, Angel Aguilar.

Vallejo searches lead to arrests linked to Bay Area retail theft operation Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VALLEJO — A crossagency investigation that started in Vallejo led to the the discovery of a large retail theft operation and the recovery of more than $200,000 in stolen merchandise, the CHP reports. Members of the California Highway Patrol’s Organized Retail Crime Task Force, with assistance from members of the San Francisco Police Department’s Retail Theft Unit, arrested of two people as part of the effort, the CHP reports. A recent arrest led CHP investigators to obtain and then execute a search warrant Thursday at a residence in Vallejo. Task Force members found evidence of a retail theft operation involving merchandise stolen from numerous retailers, including CVS, Victoria’s Secret, GAP, Target, LensCrafters, TJX, NorWalgreens, dstrom, Safeway and several more, the CHP reports. A search warrant was also served at a storage facility in Vallejo that was connected to the initial suspect. Members of the San Francisco Retail Theft Unit at the same time assisted the CHP’s task force with a search warrant at a second storage facility in San Francisco. While members of San Francisco’s Retail Theft Unit were at the San Francisco storage unit, a male connected to the locker arrived. The male was detained and later questioned by CHP task force investigators.

He was determined to be involved with organized retail theft crime and was subsequently arrested, the CHP reports. The names, ages and cities of residence of those arrested were not released but jail booking reports show Jose Cuellar, 51, was arrested by CHP officers at 9:23 a.m. Thursday on the 2100 block of Teakwood Street in Vallejo. He was held on suspicion of receiving stolen property with a value in excess of $400 and for participating in organized retail theft, both felonies. Bail was set at a combinede $50,000. Cuellar was no longer listed as being in custody Tuesday and no criminal case had been filed. The investigation resulted in the primary suspect of the operation being arrested at the residence in Vallejo. In addition to the two arrests, investigators recovered approximately 15,000 stolen items worth more than $200,000. “The brazen retail thefts we’ve seen recently are organized by sophisticated criminal enterprises and they demand a no-less sophisticated response from law enforcement agencies working in close coordination,” California Highway Patrol, Golden Gate Division Chief Chris Costigan said in a social media post. “We’re grateful to the San Francisco Police Department and all of our law enforce-

ment partners taking part in CHP’s Organized Retail Crime Task Force throughout the state,” Costigan said in

the post. “The arrests and seizures we’re announcing today are the result of an ongoing investigation, with more arrests

expected. We hope this sends a strong message to would-be thieves See Arrests, Page A10

Future James Bonds could be nonbinary in films Tribune Content Agency Their name could be Bond. James Bond. The Hollywood producer who oversees the 007 movie franchise says that she’s open to the possibility of a nonbinary James Bond. Barbara Broccoli, a former intern for The Hollywood Reporter who went on to become one of the industry’s most powerful names, said in a recent interview that she’s not ruling out the possibility of having the iconic British spy using they/them pronouns in future films. Broccoli – whose father Sir Albert Broccoli first brought the super-sexy superspy to the big screen with 1963′s “Dr. No” – has

for long maintained that James Bond shouldn’t be played by a woman, arguing that women roles should be written for women, instead of changing or adapting a male role just so that a woman could play it. But late last week, during an interview for the 100th episode of the podcast “Girls of Film,” host Anna Smith asked the Bond Boss about the possibility of going beyond the gender binary as she looks for a replacement for actor Daniel Craig – who played the Ian Flemming-created character in the last five 007 installments, but who took his final bow with “No Time to Die,” which premiered in October.

You are already attractive to this person, so trying to be attractive will only work against you. Don’t sell it when it’s already sold. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18).

How should the play proceed in four spades after West leads the club queen to dummy’s king? Note that South should have at least five spades to jump straight to game, since North might have raised with 3=1=4=5 or 3=4=1=5 distribution and 12-14 points. With only four spades, South should usually rebid three no-trump. South had four losers: one spade, two diamonds and one club. He needed to establish a diamond winner on which to discard his third club. There was no time to lose. Immediately, he led the diamond jack. East, thinking declarer was taking a losing finesse, played low smoothly. West won with his king and persevered with the club 10 to dummy’s ace. Another diamond came from the board, taken by East’s ace. But West had no entry to cash the club jack. East played a third diamond, hoping West could ruff, but South pitched his club loser, led a trump and claimed soon thereafter. With only two clubs, East should do his utmost to win the first defensive trick. Hence, he must win trick two with his diamond ace and return his remaining club. Then the contract will fail.

Solano absorbs latest storm without big event emergency Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County essentially absorbed the latest storm of the season Sunday through early Tuesday – a day that saw a reprieve along with some sunshine – as another, smaller storm looms. latest storm The dropped 3.40 inches of rain at Travis Air Force Base, the National Weather Service reports. A similar amount – 3.38 inches – was recorded at the Napa Airport. The forecast shows a 60% chance of rain, mainly after 2 p.m. Wednesday – with 0.10 to 0.25 inches of rainfall pos-

sible – and a 100% chance of rain overnight and before 4 a.m. Thursday – with 0.25 to 0.50 inches of rainfall possible. There’s also a 30% chance of rain before 10 a.m. Thursday. Don Ryan, the county Office of Emergency Services manager, on Monday said Solano was absorbing this latest storm pretty well. “When it comes to storms, I look at Berryessa,” Ryan said in a phone interview. “We know the ground is saturated if for every inch of rain we get, the lake goes up a foot. As of 2 p.m., we had received 2.8 inches of rain (in the Berryessa area) and the lake was up . . . about 2 inches. So we

are doing well.” Ryan said his office had not received a single call for catastrophic flooding, nor for any need of a rescue or any call for assistance from a city. He did caution motorists when trying to navigate roads with standing water. Bill Way, a spokesman for Fairfield, said there are sandbags available for anyone who thinks they may need them. The sandbags are available from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and the same hours on the Fridays the city is open. The Public Works Corporation Yard is located at 420 Gregory St. There is a 10-bag limit. Sand is available at the

corner of Pittman and Cordelia roads, and at the southeast corner of Allan Witt Park off Woolner Avenue. Residents must fill the bags themselves. The storm was the latest in a series of storms – some large and some small – that began in October. The National Weather Service reports that 5.7 inches of rainfall was recorded at Travis Air Force Base between Oct. 22 and 11 a.m. Oct. 25, with traces of rainfall recorded throughout that afternoon. A total of 5.8 inches of rainfall was recorded at the Napa Airport, again See Storm, Page A10

Threats From Page A3 administration and Police Department personnel. Working together, witnesses to the event were located, ultimately identifying the individual who police suspect made the threat. Officers arrested a 14-yearold boy at his home in Fairfield. The Vacaville Youth Services Section was notified by school staff last week of a threat to Vacaville High. The threat was posted on a social media application utilizing an account that appeared to make the user unidentifiable. Officers reached out to law enforcement assistance department of the social media platform and obtained information that showed the person thought to be involved was not a student at Vacaville High.

investigate further and found the person was not even a resident of Vacaville. Police through their investigation determined the threat was not credible. The Youth Services Section officers collaborated with the Benicia Police Department and were able to locate and arrest the person thought to be responsible for the threats. Vacaville police and school district reported that the person arrested was 15 years old. Benicia police reported the person was 16. None of the agencies released the teen’s gender. The names of teens arrested were not made public because of their ages. Fairfield and Vacaville police, through press releases, encouraged parents to monitor their children’s online accounts and talk with them about the importance of coming forward with information like this, rather than simply reposting or sharing.

Curry sets record, W’s struggle to get win Tribune Content Agency NEW YORK — On the night Steph Curry broke the all-time 3-point record, it was the shots that didn’t go in that defined the Golden State Warriors’ 105-96 win over the New York Knicks Tuesday at Madison Square Garden. Curry drained the record-breaking 3-pointer after only 4:27 had expired from the clock. He only widened his grip on his new spot atop the all-time

leaderboard by three the rest of the way, though. The rest of the Warriors (23-5) didn’t find much more success but clamped down on defense for second straight game to steal another win. Curry has been in a rut ever since coming with striking distance of the 3-point record, but the entire Warriors offense has been stagnant for a increasingly long stretch of games, too. Before the game, coach Steve Kerr suggested Curry

and the rest of the Warriors were “due” for an offensive breakthrough, but that didn’t come Tuesday night. Curry’s team-leading 22 points came on 8-of-19 (42.1%) shooting from the field and 5-of-14 (35.7%) from 3, the sixth time in the past eight games he has been held at that mark or below from behind the arc. Perhaps it is no coincidence that the Warriors were also held below their season scoring average

(112.1) for the sixth time in their past eight games, as well, despite facing a Knicks defense that ranks in the bottom third of the NBA. Neither team shot better than 40.5% from the field in a first half that ended in a 48-47 stalemate, and the second half didn’t get off to a much better start. But it proved to be only a continuation of a first-half cold spell and not a sign of things to come. Nobody on either team

made a shot from the field for the first 3 minutes, 40 seconds of the second half, until Kevon Looney converted a cross-court pass from Jordan Poole. That begun a second half that featured 58 Golden State points on 50% shooting and nine of their 15 total 3s. The Warriors pulled away during a third quarter in which they limited the Knicks to 16 points. New York went more than 8 minutes of game time without making

a field goal between the second and third quarters – 15 straight misses from the field. During that span, the Warriors were able to erase an eight-point deficit and pull even at 49. They rarely trailed after that point. In a defensive duel, then, it should come as no surprise that Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton II and Juan ToscanoAnderson all spent at least See W’s, Page B2

Former Vacaville High and Solano Community College standout Jordan Adams, center, is a valuable reserve for

the William Jessup University men’s basketball team, which is 23rd in the NAIA national rankings.

Jordan Adams super as sub for William Jessup men’s basketball Paul Farmer

PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

Jordan Adams doesn’t start for William Jessup men’s basketball team and other subs play more minutes, but the former Vacaville High and Solano Community College standout is one of the reasons the Warriors are ranked 23rd in the most recent NAIA Men’s Basketball Coaches Top 25. William Jessup is 12-1 overall and 4-1 in the Golden State Conference after last week’s 85-75 win over Menlo. In that game, Adams scored nine points with one rebound and one steal, sinking three straight free throws in the first half and draining back-to-back 3-pointers in the second, finishing off the victory with a defensive rebound as the final horn sounded. On the season, Adams has gotten into 11 contests, aver-

aging 4.1 points over 9.6 minutes per game, adding 17 rebounds, eight steals, three assists and one block. He’s hit 37 percent of his 3-point shots (10of-37) and all three of his 2-point attempts, going 9-of-10 from the foul line. More than half of his ADAMS 51 points came in a 26-point effort against Life Pacific in which he sank six 3-pointers as William Jessup pulled out a 98-95 victory. “Jordan has grinded and continued to work when he was outside the rotation and because of that when his opportunity knocked he answered the door in a big way helping us to a win at Life Pacific,” Warriors coach Lance Von Vogt said. “He’s earned his way into the rotation and I believe his best basketball is yet to come. We are

blessed to have him in our program.” The Warriors figure to move up in the next NAIA coaches rankings, which will be announced on Wednesday, having gone 3-0 since the last list was released on Dec. 1. For Menlo (9-3, 3-2 GSAC) against William Jessup, Landon Seaman had seven points, three rebounds, two blocks and one assist. Jeremiah Jones (Vacaville resident, Salesian) poured in a career-high 14 points, hitting 6-of-8 shots including his lone 3-point attempt with three rebounds in a losing cause as Stanislaus State (6-4, 0-4 CCAA) fell to Humboldt State, 66-53.

Carson Strong to prep for NFL draft, pass up bowl game, final season at Nevada Paul Farmer PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

The Will C. Wood High graduate and two-time Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Year announced via Twitter Tuesday that he is passing up the Quick Lane Bowl against Western Michigan on Dec. 27 and is also forgoing his final season with the Wolf Pack. In his tweet, Strong said, “As much as I would like to play one more season or even

one more game in my Nevada uniform, after a lot of thought and c o n s id e r a t i o n , I have decided that it is best for me to to BEGIN MY PREPARATION FOR THE STRONG 2022 NFL DRAFT.” As one of the top quarterbacks in program history, Strong completed 70% of his passes (366of-523) for 4,175 yards and 36 touchdowns with eight interceptions while leading the Wolf Pack to an

8-4 record, 5-3 in the MWC, in 2021. An offseason injury forced Strong to miss his senior season at Wood, but Nevada and then head coach Jay Norvell stuck with him and offered him a scholarship. Strong opened his tweet by saying, “When I was in high school there was only one college that believed in me enough to give me a scholarship. Over the past 4 years I

have done everything I could to prove to the University of Nevada that they made the right decision in believing in me.” In closing, Strong said, “To my fans, thank you for all the love and support. Finally, thank you to my family, whose boundless support and love over the years has helped shape me into who I am today. I couldn’t have gotten here without you. Although I will no longer wear a Wolf Pack uniform, Nevada Grit will always be a part of me!”

ROCKVILLE — Jaslyn Woods poured in 16 points and Zaire Brown added 15 points and 14 rebounds as the Solano Community College women’s basketball team outscored San Jose in all four quarters en route to a 60-43 victory, Friday. Solano (5-6) led 12-10 after the first quarter, 29-23 at the half and 43-34 after the third quarter. Woods also contributed seven rebounds, five assists and four steals, while Dominique Eaglin contributed nine points and six rebounds, and Paige Peterson came off the bench to score seven points and get four rebounds, two blocks and two steals. The Falcons are at Folsom Lake on Thursday.

MUSTANGS SPLIT PAIR OF DUAL MATCHES FAIRFIELD — The Rodriguez High wrestling team split a pair of home dual matches, being edged by Monterey Trail of Elk Grove, 41-36, before using a flurry of forfeits to top American Canyon, 48-30. Against Monterey Trail, the Mustangs got pins from Andre Naser at 101, Izrheal Rivera at 138, Elijah Rayrao at 152, and Deven Lakhan at heavyweight. While Abelardo Manzo won by default because of an injury he suffered as the result of an illegal move, Kirk Palma won by forfeit at 113, as did Moses Moore at 170.

W’s: Get 19 points from Jordan Poole From Page B1 10 minutes on the court. Kuminga and Payton teamed up to trap and rob Julius Randle during the Knicks’ third-quarter dryspell. Jordan Poole was able to impact the game despite converting only

three of his 11 attempts from the field and none from beyond the arc. He reached the foul line 13 times and sank them all, finishing second to Curry with 19 points. One Warrior who was able to shake his cold snap was Nemanja Bjelica. The big man who nor-

mally sports a sharp shot had only made 26.1% of his attempts from distance since he recorded back-to-back games of double-figure scoring three weeks ago. Bjelica didn’t miss Tuesday night. In 17 minutes, he made all four of his 3-point

attempts and added another bucket on a drive to the rim to finish with 18 points, third-best on the team. Kerr said he thought Bjelica had recently shown some hesitation to put up the open shot, but that was absent Tuesday night.

Enrollment declines squeeze local school finances

he 1970s and 1980s were a tumultuous time for California’s public schools, to wit: n A tidal wave of kids from the postWorld War II baby boom pushed school enrollment to well over 4 million, but the end of the boom in the mid-1960s and a slowdown in overall population growth drove enrollment downward in the 1970s. Throughout the state, local school systems pared back school construction, sold off school sites and even closed some schools. n At the time, schools were largely financed by locally imposed property taxes but in 1971 a successful lawsuit, Serrano vs. Priest, declared that widely varying taxable property values among the state’s school districts unfairly disadvantaged children in low wealth commuDan Walters nities. In response, the Legislature began overhauling school finances to provide what was called “equalization.” n Subsequently, however, in 1978, voters passed Proposition 13, which clamped tight limits on property taxes, compelling the state to assume the fundamental task of financing schools from income and sales taxes and thus shifting wrangling over education finance to the state Capitol. n California’s population soared in the 1980s due to high immigration and birth rates and so did school enrollment, eventually topping 6 million. In 1988, a decade after Proposition 13’s approval, the education community persuaded voters to pass Proposition 98, an extremely complex measure that dictates how schools’ share of state revenues is calculated. It has dominated the state budget process ever since. This snippet of political history is offered because it could be repeated. California’s once-soaring population has slowed to a trickle, or perhaps even reversed, due to sharp declines in immigration and birth rates. Also, school enrollment, which topped out at 6.2 million a decade ago and remained virtually unchanged until recently, is beginning what demographers believe will be a steady decline. The Covid-19 pandemic is partially responsible for some recent declines but the state Department of Finance projects that underlying demographic trends will drop enrollment to 5.5 million by 2030, some 700,000 lower than the peak. “Projected declines are greatest in Los Angeles and Ventura counties – roughly 20% lower by 2030-31,” a recent study by the Public Policy Institute of California declares. “The declines in Los Angeles County are particularly noteworthy: county enrollment has already fallen over 10% in the past decade, and enrollment in 2030-31 is projected to be 30% lower than it was in 2010-11.” State aid to schools is largely driven by enrollment, so districts that are seeing major declines, particularly large urban systems such as Los Angeles Unified, are beginning to feel the financial pinch and confronting the unpopular task of shutting neighborhood schools. At the moment, school finances have a respite. Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislators have decreed that state aid is temporarily based on pre-pandemic enrollment but the “hold harmless” gesture is due to expire next year. What happens after that is anyone’s guess. Decreasing enrollment could be beneficial in the long run, because it could increase per-pupil spending. But that would depend on the willingness of state politicians to once again change the methodology of school financing, moving away from its enrollment base to some other model. Given the tens of billions of dollars at stake, however, a major overhaul would be a tough political slog. Until and unless it occurs, the local systems seeing the most dramatic enrollment declines will have a difficult time balancing their budgets as their state aid shrinks and their fixed costs, such as pension fund contributions, continue to rise.

mated in November that BBB’s tax hikes would raise. It would also run afoul of what the bulk of Democrats want from the bill. Progressives have clearly stated all year that they expect a transformational package. That means going as far as possible on a host of issues at once, which is why BBB expands the child tax credit and creates universal pre-K and expands Obamacare subsidies and many other things. They have been willing to compromise thus far primarily on the overall cost, which is why the bill that passed the House has so many programmatic expirations. They have not been willing to admit that there isn’t a Senate majority for a transformational bill. Instead, they have been ramping up the pressure on Manchin to go along with the party majority. That’s not something Manchin is willing to do, per all his public statements. He said last week that “this is not the best job I’ve ever had . . . I’m not going to sell my soul for this.” He said he was “not a Washington Democrat,” and implied that he would leave the Democratic caucus if asked. For him to cave now would require a massive act of self-abasement that would almost surely end his long political career. Democrats thus face the specter of progressives’ irresistible force meeting Manchin’s immovable object. That clash looks increasingly likely, and the resultant explosion could easily blow up BBB along with it.

‘Spider-Man’ tried to hide its villains; a leak upended a Marvel-ous strategy

Crossword

Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — Originally, general audiences weren’t supposed to know about Alfred Molina’s epic return as Doc Ock until “Spider-Man: No Way Home” hit theaters. Then people spotted the actor at a hotel in Atlanta – where the latest “Spider-Man” installment was filming – and it was game over. “We ended up putting his picture on the poster – that wasn’t the plan,” said Sony Pictures Chief Executive Tom Rothman, gesturing to a giant character poster of Molina as the tentacled villain at the film’s world premiere. (Molina’s menacing “Hello, Peter” wasn’t supposed to be in the trailer either. But here we are.) “We friggin’ tried to tell him to wear a hood out of his hotel. I mean, they were closed sets, but it was impossible. People. . . just put two and two together.” Once the octopus was out of the bag, other major casting reveals followed. Next came Willem Dafoe, who starred opposite Molina in director Sam Raimi’s original “Spider-Man” trilogy as Green Goblin. By then, Jamie Foxx had already been confirmed to reappear as Electro – Spidey’s nemesis from Marc Webb’s “Amazing SpiderMan 2” – and soon Rhys Ifans’ Lizard from “The Amazing Spider-Man” and Thomas Haden Church’s Sandman from “Spider-Man 3” were thrown into the sinister mix. Ahead of Monday’s premiere screening in Westwood, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” producer Amy Pascal said the studio initially wanted to keep all of the returning foes a secret. But ultimately it decided to openly advertise the nostalgic comebacks – just one of many ways “No Way Home” pays homage to the previous Spider-Man sagas. Directed by Jon Watts, the third entry in the Tom Holland trilogy sees the lives of Peter, his girlfriend MJ (Zendaya) and his best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon) spiral into mayhem after Spider-Man is unmasked and a multiverse – chockfull of familiar faces from alternate timelines – is accidentally unleashed. That’s where the longspoiled appearances from Molina, Dafoe and company come into play. “Whatever lengths we went to [contain spoilers], we failed,” Rothman said. But certainly not for lack of trying: Dafoe recalled the intense “cloak and dagger” routine he was required to follow and “didn’t mind doing” while shooting the Spidey sequel. (The veteran character actor first faced off against Tobey Maguire’s web-slinger in 2002’s “Spider-Man.”) “The second you got out of a car at the studio, they’d

It was pretty serious. . . . They were very careful about comings and goings.” Marvel and affiliates have been forced to employ increasingly drastic spoiler-proof measures to preserve as much suspense as possible in a cinematic universe where leaks are practically canon. Especially after the rise of social media, where hordes of rabid fans are constantly circulating convincing theories and fake material in a never-ending effort to suss out – or manifest – the next Big Plot Twist. For example: Countless Marvel enthusiasts have fiercely speculated that Maguire and Andrew Garfield, who portrayed the titular teen hero in the “Amazing SpiderMan” films, are featured in “No Way Home” along with their adversaries – despite Holland and Garfield repeatedly claiming otherwise. “It’s tough because everyone wants to know everything really fast, and everyone wants to be the one with the first information,” Batalon said. “It’s definitely a tough thing to navigate, but we try our hardest to keep it away from people.” And even with the villains unveiled in its marketing and rampant speculation online about what other actors may appear, “No Way Home” still packs plenty of surprises in its trilogy-capping narrative. Without giving too much away, the talent, screenwriters and executives all agreed that Watts went above and beyond mere stunt cameos to honor earlier iterations of the webslinging franchise while still spinning a fresh adventure for

Holland’s Spidey. Visually, for instance, Watts saluted Raimi by occasionally smash-cutting to Dafoe’s face, while a standout scene from the trailer in which Zendaya’s MJ plummets backward in slow motion closely mirrors Gwen Stacey’s (Emma Stone) fatal fall in Webb’s “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.” “What’s really awesome is that Jon absolutely edited in those villains’ specific type of shots from their movies,” Batalon said. “He’s very meticulous like that. And Jon the greatest and the smartest, so he knows how to clearly pay respect to all of them.” “Jon is a true aficionado, in addition to being a terrific director in his own right,” Rothman added. “He had . . . tremendous respect for Sam and Marc. . . . He approaches it like a fan, and he’s a fan of those earlier movies. . . . It took a director who was a real student of all of that to pull it off.” While writing the screenplay for “No Way Home,” Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers frequently engaged in conversations with Watts about how to dodge cliches and blend elements from the various “Spider-Man” adventures in an authentic, dynamic way. “How do we incorporate iconic moments from the movies that don’t just feel like we are doing an empty tipping our hat?” McKenna said. “Because everyone’s gonna get really tired if we’re like, ‘Oh, how do we get the upsidedown kiss?’” “We wanted to give echoes of the other movies, pay homage, but you can’t do those moments for their own sake,” Sommers added. “They have to service the story you’re telling. . . . Otherwise, it’ll feel cheap, and the audience will know it.” “Spider-Man: No Way Home” swings into theaters Friday.

the result to be in four spades doubled? This deal occurred during an Online Contract Bridge League event (details at ocbl.org). It was played 16 times. Eight Wests made four hearts, scoring 620 or 790. Eight Souths were in four spades, being doubled by East. Seven of them went down, but Gunnar Hallberg (a Swede who has lived in England for years) made it when given some help by his opponent. West started with the heart ace and a second heart. He wanted to reduce the number of trump finesses declarer could take. After ruffing, South led the spade jack. East rose with his ace, cashed the diamond ace and, expecting to get one more trump trick, led a third heart. However, declarer knew that he had to reduce his trump length to match East’s. So, South ruffed in his hand, led a diamond to the king, played a spade to his seven, returned to dummy with a club and led the diamond queen. When East followed suit, declarer carefully ruffed his own winner, bringing his spade length down to two, the same as East’s.

The Force is strong with the 2021 additions to the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry. “Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi,” the original “Lord of the Rings” movie and the Selena Quintanilla biopic “Selena” are among the 25 films being inducted for preservation in the film registry, Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden announced Tuesday. Other new entries include 1902′s “Ringling Brothers Parade Film,” the 1975 comedydrama “Cooley High,” the 1984 horror classic “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” and Pixar’s “WALL-E,” which came out in 2008, making it the most-recent release to join the registry this year. “Films help reflect our cultural history and creativity – and show us new ways of looking at ourselves – though movies haven’t always been deemed worthy of preservation,” Hayden said. “The National Film Registry will preserve our cinematic heritage, and we are proud to add 25 more films this year,” Hayden continued. “The Library of Congress will work with our partners in the film community to ensure these films are preserved for generations to come.” “Return of the Jedi,” which soared into theaters in 1983, is the third and final film from the original “Star Wars” trilogy to be preserved by the Library of Congress. “Selena,” which starred Jennifer Lopez, came out in 1997 and centers on the life and career of the famed Tejano singer. The addition of “Selena” comes nearly a year after Rep. Joaquin Castro of Texas wrote a letter nominating the film. “For over a century, movies have been central to how Americans understand each other and our country’s history,” the congressman wrote in the Jan. 1 letter. “However, the film industry’s ongoing exclusion of Latinos unfortunately not only affects the Latinos

Last year’s inductees included a record-setting number of movies by female filmmakers and directors of color. The full chronological list: 1. “Ringling Brothers Parade Film” (1902) 2. “Jubilo” (1919) 3. “The Flying Ace” (1926) 4. “Hellbound Train” (1930) 5. “Flowers and Trees” (1932) 6. “Strangers on a Train” (1951) 7. “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” (1962) 8. “Evergreen” (1965) 9. “Requiem-29″ (1970) 10. “The Murder of Fred Hampton” (1971) 11. “Pink Flamingos” (1972) 12. “Sounder” (1972) 13. “The Long Goodbye” (1973) 14. “Cooley High” (1975) 15.

OLE Health to expand presence in Fairfield-Suisun with site purchase Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — OLE Health announced Tuesday it has closed escrow on the purchase of the building at 470 Chadbourne Road, which is the site of one of its current full-service primary care facilities in Fairfield. OLE Health provides primary care, behavioral health, nutrition and dental services at the site to roughly 1,000 patients each month, many of whom are on Medi-Cal or are uninsured. “OLE Health is invested in the FairfieldSuisun community,” said Alicia Hardy, chief executive Officer for OLE Health, in a press release. “Purchasing the facility on Chadbourne Road is just one way we plan to demonstrate our deep commitment to this community. Solano County

is designated as a health professionals shortage area for primary care, dental and behavioral health, and we look forward to increasing access to these services in Fairfield-Suisun.” The 24,000-squarefoot building was purchased from CDI LLC for $4.05 million. OLE Health plans to build out the space and increase the number of exam rooms for medical and behavioral health services, which will increase capacity for patient visits and coordination of care, the agency announced. While the exact plans for the space are still being determined, the current facility has seven exam rooms and four dental operatories. The expansion should increase space for patient services. OLE Health will also have a significant administrative presence

at the Chadbourne health center, which, according to the press release, “demonstrates its deepening commitment to the community.” OLE Health has two health centers in Fairfield: the Chadbourne Road location and another across from NorthBay Medical Center on B. Gale Wilson Boulevard. The Chadbourne facility opened its doors in 2015. As the larger facility, OLE offers medical, dental, behavioral health and nutrition services on Chadbourne Road. There are three fulltime medical providers based on Chadbourne Road and one full-time dentist. Two behavioral health providers and one registered dietician also see patients several days a week at the facility. The B. Gale Wilson location opened in 2018 in partnership with North-

Bay Healthcare and offers primary care and behavioral health services. There are four full-time medical providers who provide primary care services to children and adults and two behavioral health providers who split their time between B. Gale Wilson and Chadbourne Road. OLE and Health Solano County are the only operators of federally qualified health centers in Fairfield-Suisun. To be an federally qualified health center, a facility must accept all patients regardless of insurance or ability to pay. OLE Health’s presence in Fairfield provides a safety net for the uninsured and underinsured in Fairfield-Suisun and surrounding areas, which cuts down on unnecessary emergency room visits and improves health outcomes, according to

Judge dismisses Trump’s suit to block release of taxes Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Donald Trump’s lawsuit to stop the release of his tax returns to a congressional committee was dismissed by a judge, who said a long

line of U.S. Supreme Court precedents require “great deference” to valid congressional inquiries. U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden in Washington ordered a

14-day hold on the release of the documents to give the former president time to appeal. The fight over the tax returns goes back to 2019, when House Ways and

Means Committee Committee Chairman Richard Neal sued to compel thenTreasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin to hand over six years of Trump’s personal and business tax returns.

the press release. By expanding its presence, OLE Health hopes to continue to improve the health of the most vulnerable members of the Fairfield-Suisun community, according to the press release. OLE Health has provided comprehensive care sine 1972 to all individuals regardless of insurance or ability to pay. OLE Health offers primary care, dental, optometry and behavioral health services and embraces a patient-centered model of care. By emphasizing care coordination across departments, as well as referral and enrollment services, the agency ensures all the patients’ health and well-being needs are met, according to the press release. OLE Health has seven clinics across Solano and Napa counties and serves 40,000 patients annually.

In brief

Biden promises disaster aid to Illinois President Joe Biden declared a state of emergency in Illinois Monday after devastating tornadoes swept through the state Dec. 10, killing six people in Illinois and dozens more along the tornado’s devastating route. The declaration authorizes the release of federal aid, which will be used in tandem with assistance from local and state authorities to help mitigate damage. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, is expected to coordinate disaster relief efforts in 13 southern Illinois counties. Emergency protective measures, including direct federal assistance, will be provided, with 75% of the funds coming from the federal government. Biden is expected to visit the state Wednesday to survey the damage. — Tribune Content Agency

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the Association, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869, or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM for information, using the file number assigned to this case: 2017-0265. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an 'eligible tenant buyer,' you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an 'eligible bidder,' you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (844) 477-7869, or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM for information, using the file number assigned to this case: 2017-0265 to find the date on which the trusteeʼs sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trusteeʼs sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trusteeʼs sale. If you think you may qualify as an 'eligible tenant buyer' or 'eligible bidder,' you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.
