Potter guilty of manslaughter in Daunte Wright’s death Tribune Content Agency MINNEAPOLIS — Jurors convicted former Brooklyn Center police officer Kimberly Potter on Thursday of both manslaughter counts filed against her in the April 11 fatal shooting of Daunte Wright, making her the third officer in Minnesota to be convicted of killing a civilian while on duty. Potter, 49, stood between two of her attorneys and showed little emotion as Hennepin County District Judge Regina Chu read the guilty verdicts for first- and second-degree manslaughter. Upon hearing each verdict, Potter, with her attorneys hands on either shoulder, turned her gaze from the judge to the table below her. Wright’s family let out cries each time; his mother, Katie Bryant, broke into sobs after the first guilty verdict. Potter’s husband, Jeff Potter, and their two grown sons watched in the courtroom, clasping all of their hands together. Potter displayed no obvious reaction as her attorneys argued unsuccessfully against Chu’s decision to immediately arrest her and hold her without bail to await sentencing. But as she walked to a sheriff’s deputy and placed her hands behind her back, her husband, a retired police See Potter, Page A9

FDA clears Merck & Co.’s Covid-19 pill Comes with warning to avoid in pregnancy Tribune Content Agency Merck & Co.’s Covid-19 pill was cleared by U.S. regulators Thursday, giving high-risk patients a second at-home treatment just as the omicron variant is causing cases to surge around the country. The drug, molnupiravir, received emergency authorization on the heels of Pfizer Inc.’s Covid19, pill being cleared Wednesday. The FDA said Merck’s drug is not recommended for use in pregnant people. The two treatments hold the potential to keep a sharp rise in infections from overwhelming U.S. hospitals. Molnupiravir, developed by Merck with partner Ridgeback Biotherapeutics LP, is intended to be used at home to treat Covid in people 18 and older at risk of developing severe illness. A study showed it reduced the risk of hospitalization or death among adults with mild to moderate disease by 30%. Molnupiravir works by introducing errors in genetic material to ultimately stop the virus’s replication, but it may affect growing human cells. Merck has established a pregnancy surveillance program for the drug and said men and women should use contraception while taking molnupiravir, if they’re having sex that might result in pregnancy. The U.S. has signaled a preference for Pfizer’s See Pill, Page A1 INDEX Arts B4 | Classifieds B7 | Comics A7, B5 Crossword A6, B4 | Obituary A4 Opinion B3 | Sports B1 | TV Daily A7, B5

FAIRFIELD — A picture on the wall of Jerry Williams’ Fairfield home shows the small shack-like house where he grew up in east Texas. There was no running water. When he joined the Air Force right out of high school, that was 1966, he and others with similar “country boy” backgrounds had to be shown how to use the showers, how to shave and he remembers how some would get sick because they had eaten so much during chow. “We had never seen so much food,” Williams, 74, said with a smile. He also recalls how airman who came from more comfortable backgrounds complained about the conditions and could not wait to get out of the service. See Display, Page A9

VACAVILLE — The holidays are a time of good food, visiting relatives and friends. That is a great holiday season for humans but this time of the year can be incredibly stressful for our pets. Debbie Dillon, director of the Solano SPCA in Vacaville, has been working with the shelter long enough to see a pattern each year. “People need to keep their dog’s information on the microchips updated,” she said. “And we are going to see bites from stressed-out animals.” People travel with their pets and don’t remember that the information on the microchip may be for their home phone, not the cellphone they are carrying. “We want to get people reunited with their pets, but that misinformation means we will call the person’s house and miss them WEATHER 53 | 48 Mostly sunny. Five-day forecast on B11.
because they are not home,” Dillon said. “A lot of times people bring their pets to a home not realizing that it could result in bites,” she said. “Fights break out over toys or food. Then what happens is Animal Control gets involved.” Dillon suggests a way to help pets during the chaos of the holiday home would be to find a room for the animal to stay in while people are visiting. “It helps to give them space in the middle of the chaos,” Dillon said. Another thing to watch out for is toxic ingredients in holiday food and other things dogs or cats should not be eating. “Gravy and turkey are not good for dogs, it causes stomach upset,” she said. Also, bones that are really small can get stuck in the intestines. Water from the Christmas tree stand should See Pets, Page A9

in downtown San Francisco in 1928. While it may elicit yawns now, the fact that Fairfield’s then new system would permit people thousands of miles away to dial the new Fairfield-Suisun numbers and ring telephones here directly was revolutionary at the time. In those heady May days of 1954, numerous local businesses bought newspaper ads stressing that customers could now dial them directly and included their new numbers for the public. With the modernization there was concern that telephone operators would be laid off, but according to newspaper reports that was not the case at all as they were just assigned to different duties. Five years later, an article reported that Fairfield-Suisun people were doing more talking than ever before on the telephone. Daily calls had increased by 71% since the switch in 1954.
The rise of cellular phones – 1991 A Jan. 1, 1991, Daily Repub-
lic article entitled “Cellular Etiquette” now seems incredibly quaint. “Cellular phone numbers are not listed and the prefixes are not included in computerized telephone solicitation banks, so unwanted phone calls are not a major problem,” it read. That one almost caused a spit-take of my herbal tea. A sales representative from Cellular One in Cordelia said that most cellular phones are used by members of the business community. “Cellular phone calls cost 45 cents a minute from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. or 20 cents a minute on weekends and holidays. But the cost is worthwhile if a short, timely call can clinch a deal.” A different sales rep from California Telephone in Vacaville said that the service is meant for short calls. He said that a woman who called her grandmother back east for 45 minutes and ran up a $400 phone bill (over twice that in 2021) lacked etiquette. The rep hoped that people would opt for speaker phones when driving in heavy traffic. But he thought cellular users
have been more of a help than a hindrance when it comes to traffic accidents, because they could call 911 for help if they witness an accident. About 5% of California residents had cellular phones in 1991, which cost anywhere for $400 to $600 (again, double those numbers to get a feel for how much it would be in today’s dollars). While there is no way the rep could have foreseen the incredible advancements in phone technology that in 2021 we routinely take for granted, he did make a prescient prediction: “The things that are going to come in electronics are going to amaze you. Society is so contact-conscious that they just always need to be in touch so that even private individuals are using cellular phones.” Fairfield freelance humor columnist and accidental local historian Tony Wade writes two weekly columns – “The Last Laugh” on Mondays and “Back in the Day” on Fridays. Wade is also the author of The History Press book “Growing Up In Fairfield, California.”
Community, rotary comes together to serve PAL kids a holiday meal Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net
T
he Fairfield-Suisun Rotary, Kaiser Permanente and Famous Creations came together to ensure 100 PAL students had a delicious turkey dinner with all the fixings to share with their families on Thanksgiving. Rotary received a grant from Kaiser Permanente for their PAL dinners. Due to Covid-19 and not being able to continue the meal program, which normally takes place throughout the year, Nicolas Rodriguez, the owner of Famous Creations was tapped to cater the meals and Kaiser approved the funds for the dinners. Since they haven’t been able to prepare and serve their monthly dinners at the PAL Center they decided to use those funds to give out Thanksgiving dinners. “We are excited to be able to make this holiday extra special for these students and their families,” shared Joan Lovell, Rotary PAL Center coordinator in a press release. PAL students receiving the dinner were chosen for their hard work and leadership in the community, at school and at the PAL Center. Each student also received a certificate of appreciation and was showcased on social
media. The dinners each serve six individuals, which fed 600 community members a full turkey dinner. The dinners consist of turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, veggie blend, yams, salad, cookies, brownies and pumpkin pies. The Fairfield-Suisun Rotary Club, which has been in service to the community since 1949, meets weekly at noon Tuesday at the KROC Center, 586 Widgeon Way, Suisun City.

SUISUN CITY — Under solar panels in the parking lot of the Harbor Center, on a cold and wet Wednesday, Lori Wilson stood before local dignitaries, family, friends, neighbors and constituents, to officially announce her run for the state’s 11th Assembly District. So far, the Suisun City mayor is the only candidate to make her announcement. She already has the support of outgoing Assemblyman Jim Frazier, Rep. John Garamendi and other local leaders. Wilson said she is proud of serving Suisun City as mayor for the past three-plus years and is now eager to take a run for a seat in Sacramento to maker a bigger difference for her community and for others around the state. “I’m ready to head to Sacramento and really work,” she said. “I’ve had

Just where the race goes from here is to be determined. Frazier announced Dec. 1 that he was leaving the Assembly, effective Dec. 31. By Dec. 2, Wilson was already planning her run. Frazier had already contacted her and was his choice to replace him. It will be up to Gov. Gavin Newsom to set the special election date for the Assembly position, with the possibility that it

FAIRFIELD — Dr. Bela Matyas, Solano County’s Public Health Officer, said Wednesday the Covid-19 case numbers have shown a significant increase since Monday’s last report. The county reported 146 new cases on its website Wednesday, making the total now 48,038. The total of Covidrelated deaths is now 345 after three new reports were added to the total. “The bottom line is that the last couple of days we have seen a substantial increase,” Matyas told the Daily Republic by telephone. “Accompanied by the hospitalizations, we
are beginning to see a surge. Solano County has been fortunate to this point. We are just now starting to see an increase where in other cities and other parts of the world it has already begun.” One of the deaths was a woman over 65, unvaccinated, living in a long-term care facility. The second was a man over 65, living at home, who was also unvaccinated. The third was a man between the ages of 50 and 65, living in a care facility and vaccinated. All three had significant underlying health issues, Matyas said. The number of residents who were hospitalized Wednesday with the disease was 29, with See Cases, Page A4

Ducks feed in a puddle created by recent rain in Fairfield, Thursday.
Residents can expect rain off, on through next week Matt Miller
mmiller@dailyrepublic.net
FAIRFIELD — The National Weather Service in Sacramento reports plenty of wet weather is ahead through the holiday weekend and into next week as a series of Pacific storms are lined up to bring periods of rain in the valley and snow in the Sierras. Katrina Hand at the National Weather Service said Thursday that an inch to an inch and a half of rain had fallen in Solano County over a 24-hour period when storms began Tuesday through Thursday morning. The number will continue to grow with an inch and a half to three inches expected through Wednesday.
There will be periods of moderate to heavy rain and chances for breaks in between storms, she said. “It will be messy driving conditions but no heavy flooding,” Hand said. “The forecast is for minor flooding in the roadways and puddling of water. There will be lots of snow in the mountains to help our snow pack.” Temperatures will remain in the 40s to low 50s during the day in Solano County and upper 30s to low 40s in the evenings. Strong wind gusts are forecast for the mountains but the county could see gusts of 20 to 25 mph, according to Hand. “Be careful on the roads and look out for high profile vehicles,” Hand recommended.
The city of Fairfield also announced Thursday that Rockville Park will be closed until sunrise Tuesday due to the complete saturation of the soil, overflowing ponds and park visitors’ safety. This closure is in line with other nearby Solano County open spaces, and East Bay Parks closed through the weekend, the city said in a press release. For additional information on the park closure, call Teri Luchini at 707-249-3613. Those traveling to the mountains can expect periods of heavy snow and some chain requirements. The snow pack in the northern, central and southern Sierras is all at 100% of normal for this time of year, but totals
can vary day to day. Over the Sierra Nevada, there is potential for 5-plus feet of snow to accumulate through Christmas morning, while more moderate totals of around 1 to 4 feet are expected across the rest of the western mountain ranges. Heavier rains are expected in Southern California, according to the National Weather Service. Along the low lying coastal regions this moisture will translate into heavy rainfall over the next couple days, with some locations, including the terrain adjacent to the Los Angeles and San Diego metro areas, forecast to receive one to three-plus inches of rain in 24 hours.
CHP highlights traffic safety law changes, including wearing equestrian safety gear Daily Republic Staff
drnews@dailyrepublic.net
SACRAMENTO — As a new year dawns, the California Highway Patrol is educating the public on traffic safety laws that were passed during this year’s legislative season and signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom. The laws take effect on Jan. 1, unless otherwise noted.
Sideshow definition and penalties (Assembly Bill 3) This new law strengthens penalties for those convicted of exhibition of speed if the violation
occurred as part of a sideshow. Beginning July 1, 2025, a court will be permitted to suspend a person’s driver’s license between 90 days and six months if the person is convicted of exhibition of speed and if the violation occurred as part of a “sideshow.” Section 23109(c) of the California Vehicle Code exhibition of speed will define sideshow as an event in which two or more persons block or impede traffic on a highway for the purpose of performing motor vehicle stunts, motor vehicle speed contests, motor vehicle exhibitions of speed or reckless
driving for spectators. The courts will be required to consider a defendant’s medical, personal or family hardship that requires a person to have a driver’s license before determining whether to suspend a person’s driver’s license.
Equestrian safety gear (AB 974) Requires a person under the age of 18 to wear a properly fitted and fastened helmet when riding an equestrian animal, such as a horse, mule or donkey on a paved highway. This bill also requires all riders or their equines
to wear reflective gear or a lamp when riding after sundown. A person riding an equestrian animal in a parade or festival, or crossing a paved highway from an unpaved highway, is exempt from all helmet, lighting or reflective gear requirements.
Tribal emergency vehicles (AB 798) This bill provides that any vehicle owned or operated by a federally recognized Indian tribe is considered an authorized emergency vehicle See Changes, Page A8

The 10-day daily case average was 45.4%, up a bit from Monday’s report of 37.7%. Vaccination rates were up slightly: 68% of residents 5 and older were fully vaccinated and 77% of that population has received at least one shot. There have been 87,442 booster shots administered, up from Monday’s total of 84,334, the county reported. Matyas said 19.4% of 5to 11-year-olds have received a vaccination shot. That is up from
“She sells herself,” Solano County Supervisor Erin Hannigan said. “We know how hard Mayor Lori Wilson works for Suisun City. Now we’ll know how hard she’ll work for Solano County.” Wilson also had the support of Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, who appeared in person at the rally to support the mayor. “I will support you and do what I can to make you assemblywoman for this district,” Garamendi said. “You are the person I want to work with. Lori Wilson fits perfectly. Sometimes you meet people that are totally dedicated to the community and make things better for all citizens. You want those people to succeed.”

Steven Alan Barber went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, Dec. 18, 2021, at the age of 60 years. He died in his earthly home with his parents at his side. He was a beloved son to Stan and Carole Barber. Steve was born in Groton, Connecticut, on Dec. 11, 1961. Since his dad was in the Navy, Steve lived in many states growing up, then settled in Fairfield, California, in 1972. Steve was born mentally handicapped and as he would say, ‘God made me so special.’ He loved life to the fullest, going to church, giving mini sermons, meeting people, going out to lunch and talking about TV shows. Steve was a joy and a blessing to all who knew him. We had a saying: ‘Steve loved everyone and called them his friends, he just has not met them all yet.’ He is survived by his older brother, Donald; uncle, Bud and his family; aunt, Delores and her family. A Celebration of Life will be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 28, 2021, at Trinity Lutheran Church, 2075 Dover Ave., Fairfield, California.

Applications for 2022 firework sales open Jan. 3 Daily Republic Staff
drnews@dailyrepublic.net
SUISUN CITY — The city and nonprofits are getting some good bucks for their bangs as fireworks sales increased by 4% in 2021. The City Council approved on Tuesday the sale of safe and sane fireworks in 2022. Failure to approve the resolution could have resulted in the loss of approximately $87,470 to fund the 2022 Fourth of July Celebration, as well
as $21,388.27 for fire prevention, fire education, fire investigation and fire code enforcement associated with fireworks use. The 2021 gross proceeds were $181,953.80, split evenly between the nonprofits and the city. The dates for accepting applications for 2022 sales open Jan. 3 and continue through Feb. 2. Three permits will be available. A lottery, if needed, will take place at 10 a.m. Feb. 9. The city manager will administer the program. Aaron Rosenblatt/Daily Republic photos

Plans in place to continue FAST bus routes 5, 6 in 2022 Daily Republic Staff
drnews@dailyrepublic.net
SUISUN CITY — The City Council, at Tuesday’s meeting, approved the city manager entering a new funding agreement to extend FAST bus routes 5 and 6 in Suisun City at 100% through March 2022 and at a 75% reduction April through from December 2022. There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. Federal Transit Administration Section 5307 funding will be used to fund this extension. The city has participated in the Fairfield
and Suisun Transit fixedroute bus system for many years and has opted to move toward a microtransit to service the needs within the city. In an October public hearing, council members declared their intention to end bus routes 5 and 6 within Suisun City as of the end of the year. In November, the city agreed to modify the Lyft program as a transition to micro transit. The plan was challenged by some who use the routes.

drnews@dailyrepublic.net
VALLEJO — The next Genealogy Society of Vallejo-Benicia presentation will be on the 1950 Census. The Zoom meeting will begin at 1 p.m. Jan. 6. Census records can provide the building blocks to genealogy research. The first federal population census was taken in 1790, and has been taken every 10 years since. Because of a 72-year restriction on access to the census, the most recent year currently available is 1940. The 1950 U.S. Census will be released in April. Claire Kluskens will provide the latest informa-
tion on the 1950 Census. She is the genealogy and census subject expert at the National Archives Washington, D.C. in Kluskens spearheaded the completion of more than 330 National Archives microfilm publications and now works on digital and description projects for the National Archives Catalog and NARA website. She lectures frequently. Anyone wishing to attend the Zoom meeting needs to send an email to president@gsvb.org no later than 4 p.m. Jan. 5 and request an invitation.

SUISUN CITY — The gymnasium at The Salvation Army Kroc Center was converted into what looked like Santa’s Workshop on Wednesday as the staff and volunteers held their 10th annual Toy and Food Distribution on East Wigeon Way. Large green bags filled with toys for needy families were spread throughout the court. A lineup of newly assembled bicycles was alongside. Large quantities of food were available for distribution in the front parking lot as well. Ricardo Bayardo and his daughter Marissa Chamberlain were among the busy volunteers Wednesday. They have served the project for nine years. They assemble bicycles each year, four to five hours a day, for two straight weeks. There were 100 bikes in all this year, including one designed by the famed Orange County Choppers. “We also properly fit the bikes to the children before we send them on their way,” Bayardo said. All kinds of food items are available each year: turkeys, hams and other assembled food boxes. It’s all to bring a little cheer three days before Christmas. “We’re definitely in the spirit,” said Kroc Center

Some tear up and some share their stories with us. It’s a reminder of why God put us in this community, to serve people.” Cars were lined up before the 9 a.m. opening and were expected to be going strong in a steady stream until 3 p.m. Families signed up for the opportunity to participate in October – with most families low-income – and could go through the food line, and if so choosing, continue on to the toy distribution in the gymnasium.
“This is my big day, wonderful but very chaotic,” said event coordinator Cara Bair, director of Social Services for The Salvation Army, Solano County. “It’s an adrenaline rush. It helps families in need. We want them to have a happy new year and a great Christmas.” Bair said that 15 clients were being served every 15 minutes. Pick-up times were staggered throughout the day to avoid backing the line into the street. Contributions were made through The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program and through community donations.
Maj. Bob Louangamath says Red Kettle donations have been down nearly 50% worldwide but the support locally for events like the toy and food distribution continues to be strong. “We need to say thank you to the community and local businesses that have really stepped up,” said Louangamath, who serves at the Kroc Center with his wife, Maj. Joanne Louangamath. “Lives will be changed. Some folks don’t have what they need to provide for their families and seniors have food needs as well. We need to show there is always love and hope.”

California Highway Patrol Officers located a stolen tractor-trailer and recovered more than $250,000 in stolen merchandise, Dec. 19.
FAIRFIELD — California Highway Patrol officers located a stolen tractor-trailer and recovered more than $250,000 in stolen merchandise. CHP officers located a stolen Freightliner truck-tractor just after 2 a.m. Sunday traveling westbound on Interstate

Investigators from the CHP’s Golden Gate Division Cargo Theft Interdiction Program responded to assist with the investigation. The stolen trailer con-
tained various products including bulk freight items, various wines and other alcohol, Columbia brand clothing and merchandise, and other heavy-duty equipment. The value of the recovered cargo is estimated to be more than $250,000. The driver, Ronald Edward Stevens, 30, of Clyde, was booked into the Solano County Jail on multiple felony charges.

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath; He had a broad face and a little round belly That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread; He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight – “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!” Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

Sudoku
by Phillip Alder no-trump here? South’s opening showed a long, solid minor with a stopper or two on the side. North did not retreat to four clubs; he gambled. At the other table, South opened one club, disliking three no-trump because his partner was not a passed hand. When two passes ensued, South was apprehensive. No worries, though, as East balanced with a takeout double, and now South bid three no-trump. As the author wrote, the weather kept fine because West led the diamond six, giving declarer the first nine tricks. At this table, West knew what to lead: the heart ace. The plan was to look at the dummy and partner’s signal, and learn how to continue. West was not sure which pointed suit to lead next. East did know, though. He should have dropped his heart jack under partner’s ace, a clear-cut suit-preference signal for spades. Then the defenders would have taken the first five tricks. However, East parsimoniously played the heart seven. To West, this looked like an encouraging signal. So West, hoping his partner had the heart king-jack and would shift to a diamond at trick four, continued with his second heart, ducked to declarer’s king. South claimed 10 tricks; two hearts, one diamond and seven clubs. COPYRIGHT: 2021, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

Bay Area Air District discourages wood burning this holiday weekend Daily Republic Staff
drnews@dailyrepublic.net
FAIRFIELD — The Bay Area Air Quality Management District is strongly recommending that residents not burn wood in their fireplaces or woodstoves over the holiday weekend to keep air quality from becoming unhealthy. A Spare the Air Alert will not be in effect and wood burning is not illegal. The district is just discouraging against wood burning at this time. The air quality is expected to be good throughout the Bay Area, but wood burning during the holiday can significantly impact indoor air quality, the district said. “While we are excited to gather with our loved ones this year, foregoing a fire in the fireplace will protect air quality for our families, friends and neighbors,” said Jack Broadbent, executive officer of the

Increased wood burning around the holidays can lead to high levels of air pollution that can cause serious health effects, according to Jack Broadbent, executive officers of the Bay Area Quality Management District. Air District, in a press release. “Increased wood burning around the holidays can lead to high levels of air pollution that can cause serious health effects
to Bay Area residents. With your help, we can keep our air clean and enjoy a healthier holiday season.” Decorative wrapping paper
is manufactured using synthetic inks, plastic film, metallic finishes and other chemicals which release toxic and carcinogenic compounds into the air when burned. The smoke is released into your home and neighborhoods where family and friends will breathe it in. The district noted that it is always illegal to burn wrapping paper, trash and scrap wood. Like cigarette smoke, wood smoke contains fine particles and carcinogenic substances that make the air unhealthy to breathe, according to the Air District. Wood smoke is the major source of air pollution in the Bay Area in the wintertime and is especially harmful to children, the elderly and people with respiratory conditions. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District is the regional agency responsible for protecting air quality and the global climate in the nine-county Bay Area, including Solano.
In brief Communications will be down at SCC
ROCKVILLE — Communication systems at Solano Community College will be shut down Monday through Jan. 3 as the school begins its move into the new library on the main campus. There will be no access to email, canvas or the telephone system during this time. Campus staff can still be reached through the college’s social media channels. Students who haven’t signed up for the spring classes are encouraged to do so before Monday, or they will have to wait until Jan. 3. A grand opening for the nearly 60,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art library building is expected in the spring. It replaces the aging library, opened in 1971.
Bodies recovered after flooding in Millbrae The slow-moving storm pounding California with ice and snow has claimed at least two lives, officials said. In the early morning hours Thursday, Millbrae residents reported that standing water had accumulated under a rail overpass near the intersection of Hemlock Avenue and Hillcrest Boulevard. Detective Javier Acosta with the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office said two cars were trapped in the water, which he estimated to be at least 10 feet deep. It took officials several hours to drain the water, he said, at which point two bodies were found in one of the vehicles. The victims were described only as adults.
Another woman accuses Chris Noth of abuse LOS ANGELES — Another woman has accused “Sex and the City” and “And Just Like That . . .” actor Chris Noth of sexually abusing her. During a virtual news conference Thursday with attorney Gloria Allred, singer-songwriter Lisa Gentile said that she and Noth were acquaintances at Da Marino Ristorante Italiano in New York, and she alleged that he abused her at her apartment after he drove her home in early 2002. The New York resident, 49, said she met Noth in 1998. Representatives for Noth did not comment Thursday on Gentile’s allegations. — Staff, wire reports

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks at a rally on the Ellipse near the White House in Washington, D.C., Jan. 6.
Trump asks Supreme Court to shield his WH files from probe Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to shield his White House files from being turned over to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. At issue is whether the former president may invoke executive privilege to protect the privacy of his records, even after President Joe Biden had approved their release. While the legal dispute involves the powers of the president – and in this instance, an ex-president – it arises amid a partisan battle over Trump’s role in inciting an attack on Congress as lawmakers met to certify Biden’s victory over Trump. In appealing an earlier ruling that rejected Trump’s executive privilege claims, the former president’s lawyers urged the Supreme Court to “prevent two politically aligned branches of government from wielding unfettered power to undermine the Presidency and our Republic.” They said the decisions rejecting Trump’s claim of privilege “effectively gut the ability of former presidents to maintain executive privilege over the objection of an incumbent, who is often (as is the case here) a political rival.” They are asking the court to block release of any documents and grant review of Trump’s appeal. “Presidents are not kings, and the plaintiff is not president,” wrote U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, in a November ruling that turned aside Trump’s claims. From the start, Trump’s lawyers made clear they were aiming their appeal at the more conservative high court with its three Trump appointees. It is not clear how quickly the Supreme Court will act on the appeal. It
is likely to ask the Biden administration for a response before issuing a ruling. The case began in August when the House committee under Democratic control asked the National Archives, which has custody of presidential records, for “all documents and communications related to efforts, plans, or proposals to contest the 2020 Presidential election results” from April 2020 to January 2021. Committee chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., also requested “documents, communications, videos, photographs and other media generated within the White House on Jan. 6, 2021 that relate to the rally on the Ellipse, the march to the Capitol, the violence at the Capitol, and the activities of President Trump and other high-level Executive Branch officials that day,” the appeals court noted. Under the Presidential Records Act, Trump was notified of the request along with Biden. In response, Biden said asserting executive privilege to shield these documents was “not in the best interests of the United States,” given the “unique and extraordinary circumstances.” In a letter to David Ferriero, the archivist of the United States, White House counsel Dana Remus wrote that “the constitutional protections of executive privilege should not be used to shield, from Congress or the public, information that reflects a clear and apparent effort to subvert the Constitution itself.” In this instance, she added, Congress has a “compelling need” to investigate “an unprecedented effort to obstruct the peaceful transfer of power” and the “most serious attack on the operations of he federal government since the Civil War.” Lawyers for Trump filed suit in October seeking to block the release. They said the records
were protected by presidential privilege, and Congress had no “legitimate legislative purpose” in obtaining them. The Constitution does not say Congress has a power to investigate, nor does it give the president an “executive privilege” to refuse requests for information. But both powers have been asserted through most of American history and upheld by the courts. Presidents and their Cabinet secretaries frequently resist broad demands for information from congressional committees. But the two sides often work out agreements to turn over a significant amount of what was requested. Rarely are these disputes resolved in court. In refusing Trump’s legal claim, Judge Patricia Millett, writing for the D.C. Circuit, said executive privilege “like all other Article II powers, resides with the sitting President.” She noted the Supreme Court left open the possibility in 1977 that former President Nixon could still assert some claims of “confidentiality” in his White House records. But in this case, the balance of interests clearly favors Congress and its need for information, wrote Millett, an Obama appointee who was joined in her ruling by two other Democratic appointees. “Here, the House of Representatives is investigating the single most deadly attack on the Capitol by domestic forces in the history of the United States. Lives were lost; blood was shed; portions of the Capitol building were badly damaged; and the lives of members of the House and Senate, as well as aides, staffers, and others who were working in the building, were endangered,” she wrote. Moreover, “there is a direct linkage between the former President and the events of the day,” she added.
Using a handheld cellphone while driving is currently punishable by a fine. As of July 1, 2021, violating the hands-free law for a second time within 36 months of a prior conviction for the same offense will result in a point being added to a driver’s record. This applies to the violations of talking or texting while driving (except for hands-free use) and to any use of these devices while driving by a person under 18 years of age.

Upon further investigation, STA discovered the contract would need to include a modification through CalTrans that would not be available in time to begin service on Jan. 1. agreed to FAST continue providing fixedroute transit at current service levels through March. That will be reduced to limited service beginning April 1. The agreement provides Suisun City children with alternative transportation available to get to and from school. FAST will also continue to provide DART paratransit through the end of 2022. The cost to continue providing the services is $613,000. STA, FAST and Suisun City staff negotiated using Federal Transit Administration Section 5307 funding to compensate FAST for operating routes 5 and 6 in Suisun City through the calendar year 2022. The STA Board considered this funding use at their Dec. 8 board meeting and approved the funding unanimously. Suisun City, FAST and STA will enter into a funding agreement outlining the services FAST will be providing.

Pets
n Never use fireworks around your dog. The noise can spook them and they may run. They also can be burned by the fireworks. n Make sure your dog is wearing a collar with identification. n Resist the urge to bring your pet to the fireworks shows. It’s not fun for them, but very frightening. n Leave your dog home with windows securely locked, shades down and doors closed. Turn on some music or the television to drown out the noise. n Find someone who your dog can stay with while you’re gone. Or leave them with a chew toy. n Consider staying home with your pet. That will ensure their safety, especially if they get anxious. n If your dog is extremely anxious, consult with your vet on getting them a mild sedative. Keep in mind they do have side effects. If you do lose your pet, call Solano SPCA at 707448-7722 or visit https:// solanospca.com. Also call Solano Animal Care at 707784-1356 or visit www. solanocounty.com/depts/ sheriff/animalcare/gi.asp.
From Page One never be drunk by dogs, cats or people. “It is actually toxic for animals,” Dillon said. The problem across the nation is that vet offices are booked. “They are swamped, you can’t get in to see a vet,” Dillon said. “Even the emergency vet has a long wait.” New Year’s Eve brings more chaos: fireworks, which is really stressful for most pets. “On July 5 and Jan. 1 is when we are the busiest,” she said. “Animals escape and run in fear. They get picked up and come to us.” Dillon suggests bringing your outside dog into the house. Don’t take your dog out without a leash and limit your walk on New Year’s Eve so the animals can get back inside. Other tips for pet safety include: n Take your pet for a long walk before the fireworks start. This allows them to do their business before the noise starts and helps them sleep. Then they won’t have to go out during the fireworks display.

it, but it’s getting there,” Williams said. It started with a train set, not a particularly good one, but he said he has always liked trains and it was a start. He has upgraded to better Lionel pieces. His mother-in-law gave him a Santa outhouse, his grandson and his daughter-in-law have contributed pieces, “but mostly people just drop things off.” Williams’ favorite piece is a simple Santa house. It does not light up like some of the other pieces he has, nor does it play Christmas music like one of his central building pieces does. “I don’t know, I just like it,” he said. He has a midwestern community, and he pays homage to his time in the Air Force – including a model Phantom jet. He also served as a corpsman in the Navy, with a Marine unit, returning to the service as a way to better provide for his family. Williams said anytime he is around Marines they still call him “Doc” out of respect for what he did for them. Respect is not something a Black man in America always gets, especially in the South where he grew up. When the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy were assassinated, Williams was in Vietnam. He said the experience changed for him then. The politics of the war became more evident. Williams had enlisted
and volunteered for Vietnam because he felt an obligation to his country. His home has several images of those men who fought for his rights as a Black man, including King, Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali. Still, the military gave Williams a lot, and the lessons he learned he still carries today. Sometimes he is so focused on things being in the right place, that he will take his wife’s cup of tea into the kitchen before she has actually finished it. Regina Williams, who was named an educator of the year for FairfieldSuisun Unified School District in 2020-21, has also influenced his life. “When I met her, a date for us would be us taking food to people who needed it,” he said. Jerry Williams had two sons with his first wife, losing one in a car accident when the boy was 18 years old. “Whatever can happen to me has happened to me,” he said. His older son served in the U.S. Army, now lives in Fairfield, and has given the Williams two grandchildren. They have three others from his wife’s side. Williams’ three sisters also live in Fairfield. Family and the holidays mean a lot to Williams, and when Thanksgiving rolls round, he begins putting up his display. “It makes me feel like a kid, again,” Williams said. “It just helps me get into the holiday spirit.”
Keith Ellison, whose office led the prosecution with assistance from the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office. “Oh my gosh, the moment that we heard guilty on the manslaughter one – emotions, every single emotion that you can imagine just running through your body at that moment,” Bryant said. “I kind of let out a yelp because it was built up... Now we’ve been able to process it. We want to thank the entire prosecution team. We want to thank community support – everybody who’s been out there who has supported us in this long fight for accountability.” Bryant declined to comment when asked what she thought of Potter’s testimony last week during which Potter broke down sobbing and apologized twice. Wright’s father, Arbuey Wright, appeared overcome with emotion and away from stepped the podium. Ellison said the verdicts provided “a measure of accountability,” but that “justice is
beyond our reach for Daunte” because that could only be fulfilled by restoring his life. “I’m very mindful today that there will be an empty chair at the Wright family dinner table during the holidays,” Ellison said. “That saddens me and I once again extend my deepest condolences to them.” Ellison also addressed Potter and told the broader law enforcement community not to be discouraged. Holding their peer accountable, he said, “doesn’t diminish you.” Asked about his take on Potter’s testimony, Ellison said, “I think it was a good sign that she was remorseful.” “I wish nothing but the best for her and her family,” he said. “But the truth is she will be able to correspond with them and visit with them no matter what happens. The Wrights won’t be able to talk to Daunte.” The sequestered jury of six women and six men reached their verdicts in about 27 hours of deliberations spread over four days. They received the case about 12:45 p.m.
Monday after hearing eight days of testimony. They appeared deadlocked at 4 p.m. Tuesday, asking Chu for guidance about how to proceed, and were sent back into deliberations. Jurors reached a verdict on seconddegree manslaughter at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, and a verdict on firstdegree manslaughter at 11:40 a.m. Thursday. “The 12 of you are our heroes in this case,” Chu told the jurors after reading their verdicts aloud. “I am so proud of you. You should be proud of yourselves.” The juror who handed over their verdict forms, a woman in her 40s who worked in IT as a project manager, cried at the judge’s remarks and shook with emotion as jurors stood to leave the courtroom. After jurors had been dismissed, Engh and Gray argued that Potter should not be arrested until after her sentencing, noting that she was not a danger to others and that she had abided by the terms of her bail throughout the case.
was convened last month to discuss the drug. With Pfizer’s drug this was not the case, Farley said. The language on molnupiravir’s label says it should be used when other treatment options are not accessible or clinically appropriate, which led to questions about whether the agency prefers Pfizer’s drug. The FDA said they are not necessarily recommending Pfizer drug over Merck’s. There may be situations in which Merck’s drug might be more appropriate for a patient than Pfizer’s, said Patrizia Cavazzoni, director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, adding that it is up to physicians to make those determinations. “It is a question of availability, but it’s also a question of appropriateness of the patient for the specific drug.” Cavazzoni said. In November, several concerns were raised when the panel of outside advisers to the FDA
debated whether Merck’s drug was safe for wide use. Some expressed worry that it could lead to mutations that might make the virus more dangerous or transmissible, or that it could pose risks for pregnant people, and that its low efficacy in the clinical trial meant its risks outweighed its benefits. Ultimately, a divided panel voted to back the treatment by a narrow margin. Merck has said molnupiravir doesn’t pose long-term risks and touted how well it worked in preventing death in patients. “This is a drug that when you look at it, an antiviral, in the middle of a pandemic, that reduces mortality by 90%,” said Dean Li, president of Merck’s research division. “In the history of respiratory viruses and other pandemics there’s never been drugs that can do that, and we have one of those and we are ready to supply the world.” Currently, patients who could become seri-
ously ill with Covid are given infused drugs in hospitals or clinics, whereas a five-day course of molnupiravir can be taken at home. The U.S. has already reached a contract with Merck for $1.2 billion, which means a fiveday course will cost the government about $700 per patient. Molnupiravir will give Merck about $2.5 billion in global revenue next year, according to an estimate from Airfinity Ltd. Merck said it expects to produce 10 million courses of the treatment by the end of the calendar year, with at least 20 million courses to be produced in 2022. Meanwhile, Pfizer is already pulling in huge profits from its Covid vaccine and expected to reap about $17 billion from sales of Paxlovid in 2022, the London-based data firm said. Government officials have said they expect to have 400,000 courses of Merck’s treatment available initially.

“I never had it so good,” Williams said, repeating the military adage, “three hots and a cot.” He arrived in Vietnam on Dec. 24, 1967, with Phu Cat Air Base under attack. “Now, we’re there, it is Christmas Eve, and sitting in a bunker,” Williams said. A friend he did not realize was there also was in the bunker. He had a care package with him. “I could hear the paper ripping,” said Williams. The package had sodas and candy among other things. “And my friend said, ‘Merry Christmas, Jerry,’ ” as they enjoyed the goodies. Christmas has always been important to Williams. “We were poor people and didn’t have a lot of things, but we always had Christmas,” said Williams, adding his mother made sure of that. One of his fondest memories is of his mother baking banana cake in the kitchen. His mother also was on his mind four months into his Vietnam tour, when his guard post came under attack. When base personnel responded, he found himself in the middle of the firefight. Williams was handling canines at the time, so he knew something was up before it happened. But on that night, as he laid in a ditch, his ammunition

He survived that night and a number of other skirmishes during his year in Vietnam, but he brought the war back with him. He still battles some of those demons, but also assists other war veterans through his work with the Disabled American Veterans. “You learn not to be ashamed (of the post-traumatic stress disorder),” said Williams, who still won’t fly, and his wife drives whenever they have to cross a large bridge. The classrooms where he would later teach history also brought back bad memories, and whenever he goes into a restaurant or other buildings, he still finds himself surveying the room and the people in it before fully entering it. Sometimes he just paces outside. Williams doesn’t know why those specific experiences trigger his symptoms, but they can, so he manages them the best ways he can. That has included tai chi, yoga, swimming and music – a lot of things to keep busy. Part of that also includes building a model holiday community in his living room, something he has been doing for 10 years, adding and subtracting and creating new ways to display all the items he has collected over the years. “It’s not where I want

Defense attorneys Paul Engh and Earl Gray briefly comforted Potter before she was led into a back room in handcuffs. She is being held at the women’s prison in Shakopee in administrative solitary confinement separated from other inmates, presumably out of concern for her safety. Potter’s sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 18. Engh declined to comment on the verdicts.

Police: Teen charged in carjacking of Scanlon PHILADELPHIA — A 19-year-old from Wilmington, Del., was charged in federal court Thursday with participating in Wednesday’s gunpoint carjacking of U.S. Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon in FDR Park. Josiah Brown pleaded not guilty during a virtual arraignment to charges including carjacking and firearms violations. He will be held in custody as his case moves forward. Federal authorities said Brown, along with a stillunidentified coconspirator, pointed a gun at Scanlon’s chest in the park around 2:30 p.m. and demanded her car keys. Scanlon handed over her belongings and was not physically harmed, they said, while Brown and his accomplice drove off in her 2017 Acura MDX. Unbeknownst to the robbers, the SUV had a tracking device in it, according to charging documents filed in the case, and that allowed police to locate the vehicle within a few hours – first outside Brown’s house in Wilmington, and then at the Christiana Fashion Center in Newark. It was there that Brown was taken into custody along with four other teens around 8:30 p.m., police said. State troopers and federal agents initially saw Scanlon’s SUV unoccupied, but officers watched it and eventually saw the teens getting in. The teens tried to flee as police approached the car, officials said, but all were eventually arrested. Only Brown was facing charges connected to the carjacking.
Biden supports filibuster change on voting rights WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden would support changing Senate filibuster rules to enact voting rights legislation as a last resort if Congress can’t do something otherwise, though there aren’t enough votes to do so right now, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said. Biden, speaking Wednesday in an interview with ABC News, said he supported eliminating the filibuster if it’s all that stood in the way of passing voting rights legislation. Psaki then said Thursday that Biden’s full answer, which wasn’t aired in its entirety, added that he didn’t think they’d have to resort to that, but that voting rights legislation remains a priority. “He said, I would just reiterate, that he doesn’t think we’ll have to go that far,” Psaki said when asked about the filibuster. “I think the key thing we know at this point in time, which you know, is that there aren’t enough votes to change the Senate rules at this point in time.” In portions of the interview broadcast by ABC, Biden said he supported doing “whatever it takes” to enact voting rights reform. “If the only thing standing between getting voting rights legislation passed, and not getting it passed, is the filibuster, I support making the exception of voting rights for the filibuster,” he said. — Tribune Content Agency

US: Russia must de-escalate as troops mass near Ukraine Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — The U.S. said Moscow needs to take steps to de-escalate tensions on the Ukraine border as Western nations and officials in Kyiv said Russian troops continue to amass ahead of a potential attack. A U.S. official, briefing reporters Thursday on condition of anonymity, said the U.S. continues to see signs of a stepped up disinformation campaign from Russia, seeking to pin tensions on Kyiv. Ukraine estimates 122,000 Russian troops are within 124 miles of their shared border, up from about 100,000 just weeks ago. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said Wednesday that her “concern is great” over the situation, while NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken held talks Thursday on the alliance’s approach toward Russia. Blinken also spoke with U.K. Foreign Secretary Elizabeth Truss. The U.S. briefing on Thursday followed President Vladimir Putin’s annual news conference in Moscow, a marathon fourhour affair that touched on everything from the Ukraine border standoff to Russia’s struggles to contain Covid-19. Putin hailed what he described as a “positive” U.S. response to the Kremlin’s demands for legally binding security guarantees to defuse the stand-off. But he also warned that

A Ukrainian soldier pets a cat in a trench on the front line in Zolote, Ukraine, Dec. 12. “military technical measures” might still be necessary in response to any “unfriendly steps” from Western powers on military cooperation with its neighbors in Eastern Europe. “Our American partners say they’re ready to start discussions early next year in Geneva,” Putin said. “Both sides have named representatives and I hope that things will continue along the same path.” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday the U.S. also believes “that is the best path and the right path forward.” But the U.S. official briefing reporters earlier also reiterated warnings that there would be a “massive” package of sanctions unveiled in response to any attack. And while both sides have agreed to have lowerlevel officials begin talking soon, Psaki said there is no date or location agreed to for those negotiations.
Putin and President Joe Biden last discussed the border buildup and Russia’s concerns in a Dec. 7 phone call. Biden said that he was “very straightforward” with the Russian leader during their call this month. “There were no minced words,” Biden said on Dec. 8. “It was polite, but I made it very clear: If, in fact, he invades Ukraine, there will be severe consequences – severe consequences – and economic consequences like none he’s ever seen or ever have been seen, in terms of being imposed.” The remarks from the two sides on Thursday also underscored how far apart they remain in terms of sharing an understanding of what provoked the crisis. The U.S. and its European allies put the blame squarely on Russia, dating back to the 2014 invasion and annexation of Crimea, and they emphasize that NATO is a defensive alli-
ance that shouldn’t be seen as a threat to Moscow. Yet in a set of demands released publicly last week, Russian officials called for a written promise that NATO would not expand further to the east. The U.S. has called some of the Kremlin’s proposals unacceptable. And while several Eastern European nations are NATO members, Ukraine isn’t seen as likely to gain membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization anytime soon. Even if Ukraine isn’t a NATO member, Putin and his aides have repeatedly said they view Ukraine’s growing relationship with the military bloc as an existential threat. Putin declined to provide a guarantee that Russia won’t invade Ukraine, instead demanding the West give Russia the security assurances he seeks. “You should give us guarantees. You! And without any delay! Now!” he said.

Vikings, Bulldogs dominate 2021 All-Region football squad Paul Farmer
PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET
As the old saying doesn’t go, the more things remain the same the more they change. The Vacaville High football team won it’s fifth straight Monticello Empire League championship, defeating Vanden 35-14 along the way. The Vikings used the disappointment of losing to the Bulldogs for the seventh straight time dating back to 1968 for inspiration and rode the wave to their first CIF state championship and Solano County’s second after St. Patrick/St. Vincent in 2016. Not surprisingly, in bringing back the Daily Republic’s Northern Solano County AllRegion football team after a one-year absence, Vacaville and Vanden dominate the top honors, some of which are making their debut.

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER — JAMAI EAST, VANDEN The bigger the games got, the bigger East played – and he played beyond huge – all the way through the state title contest.
ABOVE: Vacaville quarterback Ryan Vaughan runs the ball for a touchdown during the football game against Vanden at Vacaville High School, Oct. 15. Vaughan threw for 2,065 yards and 20 touchdowns, while rushing for 481 yards and seven TDs.
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR — TRE DIMES, VANDEN No one accounted for more passing and total yards or was responsible for more touchdowns than Dimes.
LEFT: Vanden High Tre Dimes quarterback drops back to pass in a game at Vacaville, Oct. 15. Dimes threw for 3,262 yards and 46 touchdowns, both city records, and accounted for 54 TDs overall.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR — ZACK MERCADO, VACAVILLE CHRISTIAN Mercado spent much of the season in opposing backfield’s, as his gaudy stats attest. LINEMAN OF THE YEAR — JACOB EDMONDS, VACAVILLE At 6-foot-3, 293 pounds, Edmonds was a giant on the Bulldogs’ rugged line that was the foundation of their 2021 MEL title team. COACH OF THE YEAR — SEAN MURPHY, VANDEN Murphy and his staff helped the Vikings bounce back from losing to Vacaville and put together the most dominating run in city history. QUARTERBACK OF THE YEAR — RYAN VAUGHAN, VACAVILLE Tre Dimes threw for more yards and Baxter Ken Tilford ran for more, but no one combined the two skills better than Vaughan in 2021. BACK OF THE YEAR — DARIAN LEON-GUERRERO, VACAVILLE No running back ran for more yards or was a better receiver coming out of the backfield. Not a bad combination. Here’s a look at the 2021 All-Region team:
Offense QB — RYAN VAUGHAN, VACAVILLE The MEL’s Back of the Year completed 139-of-246 passes (56.5 percent) for 2,065 yards and 20 touchdowns with just three interceptions, adding 481 yards and seven TDs on the ground.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — It didn’t take long Thursday night for Jimmy Garoppolo to throw away his and the 49ers’ upbeat holiday spirit. That said, Garoppolo rallied. The 49ers defense did not. After squandering a 10-0 halftime lead and eventually pulling even at 17, the 49ers caved to the AFC South-leading Tennessee Titans and lost, 20-17, on a last-seconds field goal. This hurts the 49ers’ egos more so than their playoff hopes. At 8-7, they remain in the NFC’s sixth of seven playoff spots. But the 49ers lacked the efficiency that produced wins in five of their previous six games. Next up is a Jan. 2 home finale against the Houston Texans, then a Jan. 9 visit to the Los Angels Rams to close the regular season and perhaps determine those teams’ playoff seeding. “We weren’t coming in overconfident,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “We were pretty real with where we’re at. We’re a confident team, I thought we’d come out strong and we did. “You still have to play good enough on all three phases. We didn’t play good enough on third down, and committed two turnovers and they had zero.” Garoppolo, channeling his December 2017 comeback success against the Titans, produced a gametying touchdown pass to Brandon Aiyuk with 2:20 to spare. Deebo Samuel set that up with a 56-yard, catch-and-run to
QB — TRE DIMES, VANDEN Picking up the pace considerably down the stretch of the regular season and the playoffs, the Vikings junior threw 3,262 yards and 46 touchdowns, being responsible for 54 TDs, all city records. He completed 164of-291 passes (56.4 percent) and rushed for eight touchdowns. QB — JETT HARRIS, DIXON In leading Dixon to a tie for the Golden Empire League title, Harris threw for 2,039 yards and 21 TDs, finishing third and second in the area respectively, completing 128-of-230 passes. QB — BAXTER KEN TILFORD, WOOD Listed again as the “athlete” pick in the All-MEL first team selections, Tilford showed why by completing 66-of-121 passes for 950 yards and seven touchdowns while rushing for 911 yards and 11 TDs, ranking second on the team with five 100-yard efforts. RB — DARIAN LEON-GUERRERO, VACAVILLE As the MEL’s Player of the Year, LeonGuerrero led the area with 1,159 rushing yards, going over 100 yards six times and scoring 13 touchdowns. He was also one of the Bulldogs’ leading receivers with 22 catches for 425 yards and five more TDs.
RB — JAYJAY OLAES, WOOD
The area’s second-leading rusher with 1,024 yards, 11 touchdowns and six 100yard games. He was also arguably the team’s top receiving threat, leading the Wildcats with 255 receiving yards, 19.6 yards per catch and two receiving TDs. RB — CAMERON FISHERMAN, VANDEN
As the top rusher on a Vikings team that had four backs go over 360 yards, the bulldozing Fisherman ran for 661 yards and nine TDs on 108 carries. RB — MARCO CARILLO, RIO VISTA
The sophomore led the Rams with 435 yards and five touchdowns on 60 rushing attempts as well as 10 receptions for 136 yards. RB — MALACHI JONES, RODRIGUEZ
Stats for the Mustangs are frustratingly incomplete, but in games listed, Jones rushed for 274 yards on 61 carries and caught seven passes for 128 yards. RB — DOMINIQUE RUFF, VACAVILLE CHRISTIAN
Averaging a solid 6.7 yards per carry, Ruff ran for 486 yards and four TDs on 73 attempts.

ROCKVILLE — Dominique Eaglin sank the second of two free throws with 1:23 left in the game to put the Solano Community College women’s basketball team ahead – and round out the scoring – as the Falcons held on for a 59-58 victory over Napa Valley in their Bay Valley Conference opener, Wednesday. The Falcons (6-7) trailed 56-51 with 3:54 remaining before closing the game on an 8-2 run with Eaglin completing a 3-point play, Zaire Brown making a basket off a Genesis ErnieHamilton pass and Cherika Rafan draining a 4-pointer to put SCC up 57-56 with 2:53 to go. After a Mirah Jackson basket put NVC up 58-57 25 seconds later, Eaglin made the second of two free throws with 2:11 left to tie the score at 58.

How Mark Kotsay became the Oakland A’s newest manager Shayna Rubin
THE MERCURY NEWS
Wearing a crisp white jersey and an A’s cap over yet another Zoom press conference, Mark Kotsay was introduced as the A’s newest manager on Tuesday. Replacing longtime manager Bob Melvin after his abrupt departure to manage the San Diego Padres earlier this offseason, Kotsay is one certainty amid one of the most uncertain A’s offseasons this decade. How the A’s roster may look in 2022 is still a complete mystery, both because of Major League Baseball’s lockout and whispers that Oakland’s ownership may mandate budget cuts to an already bare-bone payroll. But the Kotsay hire brings some light to the dark room. It also brings Kotsay full circle. Despite less than half of his 24 years in baseball in Oakland, Kotsay always considered the A’s organization home. Since Billy Beane flipped Terrence Long and Ramón Hernández to the Padres for him in 2004, Kotsay became a staple of the organization. First building a fandom with his rifle arm in center field, his insidethe-park home run in the 2006 ALCS, then returning home nine years later in various coaching jobs with the A’s since 2015. Pogoing around MLB those years in between, Kotsay always
stayed close with Beane, David Forst and the rest of the A’s front office mainstays. The 46-year-old could have leaned on that familiarity while interviewing to be the A’s 31st manager in franchise history, seeking to fill the large shoes of three-time manager of the year Melvin. That he left the friendship at the door helped secure Kotsay the job. “Mark didn’t take anything for granted in the interview,” Beane said. “He came prepared as you possibly could be despite the fact that he’s known David and I for 20-plus years. That really impressed us.” “This does feel like it’s a little over 18 years in the making,” Forst said. “Most people wouldn’t guess that he’s only spent four years of his 17 year career with the A’s because he’s always been identified so much with this organization.” It wasn’t Kotsay’s first interview. Known for a keen coaching eye, preparedness and individualized relationships with players, Kotsay has been cycled through plenty of managerial hire cycles. The Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants, Detroit Tigers, Pittsburgh Pirates and Houston Astros were among the teams that interviewed Kotsay over the last few years – none stuck.

Defense
OL — MICHAEL LORTON, RIO VISTA With 21 players on the roster, offense was sometimes a struggle but Lorton helped the Rams average 24.1 points and 212.4 yards rushing per game. WR — JAMAI EAST, VANDEN Just how dominant was East as a receiver? Of his 25 receptions, 14 went for touchdowns, tying Michael Belk for the team lead, including the first score in the NorCal victory over Windsor and both TDs in the state title game win over Aquinas of San Bernardino. His 24.6 yards per catch was tops on the team for those with more than four catches. WR — BRAYDEN CHAVEZ, VANDEN If the Vikings had a “possession receiver” it was Chavez, who led the team with 49 receptions and still averaged 16.3 yards per catch with 801 receiving yards, second best on the team. He also had seven touchdown grabs and averaged 9.6 yards per carry with 134 yards on 14 attempts. WR — MICHAEL BELK, VANDEN As the seventh receiver in city history to go over 1,000 yards, Belk caught 45 passes for an area-best 1,024 yards and 14 touchdowns. He also ran for 106 yards and two TDs. WR — MARK BENARD, DIXON The Golden Empire League Co-MVP led the area in receptions with 56 for 1,006 yards and 15 TDs, adding two TDs on interception returns and one on a kickoff return. On defense he had three interceptions and one forced fumble, 23 tackles, 11 of them solo. WR — ANTHONY WILEY, VACAVILLE The deep threat among the

I remember when things were very different
C
hristmastime brings back memories of old and how the world has changed since I was a kid. I can remember my mother telling me, “I’m getting cross with you.” She said it so often that I can even hear her voice now. I don’t hear anyone saying “cross” anymore. There was much talk about “before the war,” “after the war.” Of course, that’s gone. We had an old Buick with a rumble seat which my sister and I loved. Then we got a Studebaker with a rocket nose. They’re long gone. I was raised on Donald Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie, and Uncle Scrooge. On TV, there was Space Patrol, where Happy fired the rockets on command. On radio, the Shadow knew. In school, we learned all about Jack Batson Dick and Jane and Spot. Really. My father smoked a pipe. I liked his pipe; the tobacco was scented so the smoke was scented. Does anyone smoke a pipe anymore? (You know, a normal pipe?) Mother smoked cigarettes. I admit I like the smell of cigarette smoke too, especially the first few puffs, when the tobacco is purposely scented. Everybody smoked in my parents’ generation, and probably half in my generation. I recall how my parents would throw parties. My job was to go around the very smoky room with a container of cigarettes and offer them to everyone. The Batsons had two sit-down meals a day – breakfast and dinner. I don’t know how my mother did it. Dad cooked Sunday breakfast: waffles. Table manners were strict. I drank milk every day – never, ever soda. If I refused to eat Brussels sprouts, I had to sit at the table for an hour or until they were consumed. If I still refused, one sprout would reappear the next night and the routine repeated. My father whistled. He was good at it; he could do some sort of falsetto-whistle. It was always an upbeat melody, maybe from the Roaring Twenties. No one whistles today that I know of. My mother was a stay-at-home mom. If you had told her that she was oppressed, I truly think you might have gotten a rolling pin between your eyes. It’s dangerous to apply judgments across time. I distinctly remember family holiday gatherings. The men would migrate into a group and it seemed a requirement that each man tell a joke. Whenever a couple would drop over for a visit (people just visited in those days), the male would tell a joke. Not too many jokes anymore. Now, I have a theory about this. I think jokes and whistling a happy tune have been pushed out over our scorched-earth conservative politics where we’re about to be taken over by “socialists” who will “end America as we know it.” Who feels light-hearted about that? My Republican parents had friends who were sure there were commies behind every tree and bush. McCarthyism was some sort of conservative mass hysteria. A teacher lost her job by saying that socialists “weren’t so bad.” I got spankings. Everybody got spankings back then. We kids compared spankings. Spanking was a ritual. I was angrily sent to my room. I waited in semi-terror while my father went out and, with the little pen knife that he always carried, cut a switch from the peach tree. That was the dreaded instrument. I don’t hear a word about spankings anymore. My grandparents were born in the 1880s. To them, you didn’t call family to dinner, you’d “holler.” Likewise, something wasn’t “over there,” it was “over yonder.” My grandfather was grumpy but grandmother was sweet and whimsical. She believed that fairies lived in her garden. My grandfather kept his gall bladder in a small bottle of alcohol in the living room to show guests. My uncle got tired of his toes being scrunched in his shoes, so he checked himself into a hospital and told the doctors to remove both middle toes, which they did. Social change is the only thing that never changes. Except, maybe, Christmas goodwill.

We can start by having honest conversations with them about the illness of violence. We can also re-emphasis the value of life to them. Let’s make an effort to encourage them to develop a dislike for violence. I know that’s a tall order and a lot to ask yet it’s not an impossible task. Violence is embedded in all aspects of our lives through TV, film, social media, video games and even sports. As parents and youth workers, we can only make moral and ethical impressions to guide our youth and children into a positive direction or shield them from these violent influences. It is our responsibility to tirelessly work to change the culture of violence in our community. Let’s make changes in the small environments that we do control such as our homes, classrooms, youth centers, or recreation rooms or youth sports programs. These small adjustments could eventually have a larger effect on the violent culture that we live in. Deon D. Price is an author and youth life skills coach who lives in Fairfield, ca.

But Russia instructed those governments to decline to meet with the U.S., leading the Biden administration to pursue a counterterrorism partnership with Russia instead. This is a tacit acknowledgement of Putin’s claim to hold dominion over the republics that were once part of the Soviet Union. Alina Polyokova, the president and CEO of the Center for European Policy Analysis, told me that while she has been pleased with some of the recent rhetoric from the administration, many of her interlocutors in Eastern Europe are shocked that Biden has not pursued a more hawkish policy against Russia. “A lot of this is revealing that much of the criticism of Russia from the Democratic side was because of Trump and doesn’t reflect policy,” she said. This presents a political crisis for Democrats, in addition to the strategic crisis in Ukraine. For four years, Democrats portrayed themselves as a party of Russia hawks, in contrast to a president they saw as Putin’s lackey. But since Biden came into office, his administration has stopped enforcing major sanctions on Russia’s pipeline to Germany, held off on punishing Russian hacks of critical infrastructure and now seeks to deter a Russian invasion of Ukraine with threats alone. Some might call that appeasement. Others might say Biden’s presidency so far has been a gift to Vladimir Putin.

‘The Tragedy of Macbeth’ is gripping screen Shakespeare,
Crossword
with Washington, McDormand and one hell of a witch Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune
T
he early 17th century potboiler “The Tragedy of Macbeth” is the shortest of Shakespeare’s tragedies. Director and adapter Joel Coen, working here without brother Ethan, took on this film version with his wife, Frances McDormand, committed – fully, as if that needed saying – to Lady Macbeth, opposite Denzel Washington as the ruthless warrior who lusts for the crown and goes blood simple in the process. Stripping “Macbeth” for parts, keeping the focus on the main narrative lines of political assassination and what Macbeth himself refers to as “supernatural soliciting,” Coen turns out to be ideally suited to a straight-ahead, let’s-get-onwith-it rendition. He has likened “Macbeth” to James M. Cain and other 20th century crime novelists. Shot on an L.A. soundstage, in tight, boxy 4:3 and black and white, this 105-minute trot through a charismatic power couple’s rise and fall is ripping stuff – largely because it dwells in a shadow realm where theatrical methods meet cinematic expression. In the best way, we never quite know where we are here. It’d be a mistake to go another word without mentioning Kathryn Hunter’s extraordinary portrayal of the three witches. Hunter, a highlight of several seriously magical Complicite stage productions, brings a dazzling contortionist’s range of physicality to bear along with her uniquely penetrating vocal quality. At one point, the witch who promises greatness to Macbeth if he follows orders, casts three separate reflections in a pool of water. That simple, eerie image is reason enough to be glad Coen made this film. Victorious in war against the Irish and the Norwegian invaders, Macbeth is a relatively simple man, at least compared to most tragic Shakespearean figures. He thirsts to be king, and Lady Macbeth leans into making that dream a blood-drenched reality. The marriage we see in Coen’s film is in many ways a healthy and close one, matching wits and will, Macbeth’s doubts tempered by Lady Macbeth’s goading machinations. When Macbeth executes good King Duncan (Brendan Gleeson) early on, Coen’s version is off and running into hell. The Scotland we see in this “Macbeth” is a misty world of historically indeterminate architecture, mainly hallways and archways and skulking places. The exterior scenes

utterly lack the oxygen of the open air. Like the 1948 Orson Welles “Macbeth,” it’s unapologetically a soundstage creation; like the 1971 Roman Polanski version, menacing birds (crows here) crows perpetually monitor the sinister doings below. In Coen’s film the French cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel captures production designer Stefan Dechant’s stark storybook suggestions of Inverness Castle, Birnam Wood and the witching hangouts brilliantly. But it’s the faces that matter most. Washington’s dramatic interpretation may be on the conventional side, but it has true authority and enough clarity of meaning to anchor the ensemble. McDormand’s emotional immediacy and rattling momentum serve the play every second she’s on screen. The supporting cast has some excellent ringers, chief among them Corey Hawkins and especially Moses Ingram as Macduff and Lady Macduff, respectively. Harry Melling brings a sly suggestion of intrigue to the slain king’s son, Malcolm. Coen loves to isolate many of these strategists, royals and pawns in their own direct-address compositions, so that the players in this bloody pageant of insurrection (topical! what do you know!) rarely share the screen with one another, at least peacefully. Besides the earlier “Macbeths,” many more cinematic influences inform Coen’s picture, notably the striking modernity of Carl Dreyer’s “Passion of Joan of Arc.” From “Blood Simple” onward, Coen learned a lot about the visual language of pulp, which is hardly absent here. But there’s

Kathryn Hunter in “The Tragedy of Macbeth,” premiering in select theaters on Dec. 25 and on Apple TV+ on Jan. 14, 2022. a new, relative seriousness of approach at work in this project. Without spoiling anything, I wouldn’t have suspected a Coen-directed Shakespearean tragedy to shoot for a happier ending than Shakespeare himself wrote, outside the text’s restoration of political order. Still, the gore and the dashes of dread are everywhere. Coen plays riddles with the viewer, just as witches play guessing games with Macbeth. As depicted here, that dagger, floating in midair, vexing Macbeth’s sanity? Is it a vision? A door handle? Are the witches three? Or one? Whatever the number, they’re a kingdom apart, invisible and unknown to all except their next human vessel for something wicked. Coen’s “Macbeth” doesn’t constitute a radical rethink of a popular but rarely successfully revived work. On stage its difficulty, at least in America, is weird, considering its all-star lineup of Famous Scenes and Speeches, from sleepwalking Lady Macbeth to the shocking assault on the Macduff lair to “tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.” This film may just change a few modern perceptions about the play’s brute effectiveness, and the value of not “opening up” in the expected way. Speed, clarity, drive and some first-rate actors make for pretty good compensations.

A curmudgeon tries to put an end to yuletide cheer in “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!”
NEW YORK — Renowned writer Joan Didion, who emerged as a distinctive voice in the “New Journalism” of the 1960s to launch a decadeslong and lauded career as an author, essayist and screenwriter, died Thursday at her Manhattan home. She was 87. The cause of her death was Parkinson’s disease, accordingtoherpublisher. The New York Times first reported her death. Didion, born in California, was one of the leading lights in the changing of the literary guard that saw the emergence of writers Gay Talese, Tom Wolfe, Hunter Thompson and Norman Mailer during the turbulent decade. Didion quickly became a well-known and highlyacclaimed writer, earning kudos for her elegant prose and acute social observations. Her skills were on full display in a pair of acclaimed collections of essays: “Slouching Toward Bethlehem” in 1968 and “The White Album” in 1979. Topics ran the gamut from Haight-Ashbury hippies in her home state to reclusive magnate Howard Hughes to Los Angeles rock band The Doors. “Joan Didion was a legend,” said journalist and former California first lady Maria Shriver in a tweet. “She wrote her mind and heart out, & we all benefited. As a journalist, a writer, a woman, a Californian – she was a tremendous influence on me in every respect.” Didion received the National Medal of Arts from President Barack Obama in 2013 and a volume of her unreleased essays was published earlier this year. Didion’s nonfiction book “The Year of Magical Thinking” earned the 2005 National Book Award for nonfiction for her account of a turbulent stretch where her daughter became gravely ill and her husband/collaborator John Gregory Dunne died from a heart attack. Their daughter Quintana passed away at age 39 by the time the book was published and Didion later adapted the tale into a Broadway production starring Vanessa

Author Joan Didion returns to her seat after accepting the 2012 National Humanities Medal, July 10, 2013. Redgrave in 2007. Didion also teamed with Dunne as screenwriting collaborators, working on films like “Panic in Needle Park” starring Al Pacino, a remake of “A Star is Born” starring Kris Kristofferson and Barbra Streisand, and “Up Close and Personal” with Robert Redford. Didion was born in Sacramento on Dec. 5, 1934, a fifth-generation Californian whose ancestors were traveling with the doomed Donner Party before opting for a safer route in 1846. She recalled growing up as a shy and bookish child. Her career began with her victory in an essay contest sponsored by Vogue magazine. The prize was a job in the publication’s New York office, and she traveled east to work as a research assistant. Her first novel, “Run River” in 1963, failed commercially but received positive reviews and produced a contract for a second book. A year later, she married aspiring novelist and Time magazine writer Dunne. The pair moved back to Los Angeles and spent the next two decades there – adopting their baby girl. “Slouching Toward Bethlehem” was released to widespread critical acclaim and remains one of most resonant books of the 1960s. It was followed by her second novel “Play It as It Lays,” a tale of the West Coast film industry. The author later focused on political writing, with dispatches on the civil war in El Salvador and the culture of Cuban emigres in Miami. Didion’s essays on the subjects were later published as the books “Salvador” and “Miami.”

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 mortgagee, beneficiary, 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 (877) 440-4460 or visit this Internet Web site www.mkconsultantsinc.com, using the file number assigned to this case 210816128. 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 (877) 440-4460, or visit this internet website site www.tlssales.info, using the file number assigned to this case 210816128 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.

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 mortgagee, beneficiary, 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 (855) 976-3916 or visit this Internet Web site www.auction.com using the file number assigned to this case 20000320-7 CA. 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 (855) 976-3916 or visit this Internet Web site https://tracker.auction.com/sb1079 using the file number assigned to this case 20000320-7 CA 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.

Omicron is wreaking havoc, but the NBA is determined not to break The Washington Post The run-up to Christmas is usually marked by anticipation, not apprehension, for the NBA: handpicked rivalries gleam on the holiday schedule, teams break out festive jerseys, players unveil new sneakers and television executives prepare for some of the season’s highest ratings. Throughout this week, though, the dread that built up over the first few weeks of March 2020 has returned thanks to the rapid spread of the omicron variant. More than 120 players, including stars like Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, James Harden, Luka Doncic and Trae Young, have entered the league’s coronavirus health and safety protocols in December, while the league has been forced to postpone nine games since Dec. 13 due to a lack of available players. While NBA officials aspired for a return to normal in October and enjoyed a highly competitive start to the 2021-22 campaign, the league is now stuck coping with its third pandemic season, leaving ESPN executive David Roberts to admit Wednesday that his network’s Christmas Day coverage was a “fluid situation” and that the “hope” was that they could air all five games as planned with multiple teams beset
by outbreaks. In turn, Commissioner Adam Silver has found himself facing the same question that circulated in the days before Rudy Gobert’s positive test nearly two years ago: Should games continue? There are certainly parallels to be drawn between March 2020 and December 2021, but much has changed regarding the virus and the NBA’s ability to conduct business since Silver suspended play in response to a single positive test, becoming the first American sports commissioner to shut down during the pandemic. In fact, so much has changed over the last 21 months that Silver dismissed the notion that the NBA would temporarily suspend play in response to omicron, as the NHL did this week. “No plans right now to pause the season,” Silver said Tuesday in an interview with ESPN. “We have looked at all the options, but frankly we’re having trouble coming up with what the logic would be behind pausing right now. This virus will not be eradicated, and we’re going to have to learn to live with it. Our ability to find a way to keep operating is also significant for society to show that there are ways, despite living in this covid era, that we can find a safe and responsible way to See NBA, Page B11

3-yard touchdown run by D’Onta Foreman. Garoppolo’s first half also came with bad throws, from an end zone interception to foil the 49ers’ second series (and first shot at a 14-0 lead) to an overthrow of an open Kyle Juszczyk at the Titans’ 10, as well as a near-interception on the next series. “We should have been up more. We should have gotten three scores and were only up 10-0,” Shanahan said of the 49ers recording a firsthalf shutout for the first time since the 2019 season’s NFC Championship Game. “The defense did great except for third down.” Garoppolo had gone 84 consecutive passes since last throwing an interception, when he was guilty of two in a Dec. 2 loss at Seattle.

Garoppolo finished 25 of 34 for 306 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.

NBA From Page B10 keep going.” Contrast Silver’s practical tone and access to knowledge with his position in the days after Gobert’s positive test. Then, an uncertain Silver suggested that the pandemic might halt play for a matter of weeks or possibly months, and the league still had little information about how the virus spread, how it might impact its players and how an organization like the NBA might formulate a defense plan. The first dose of a vaccine was nearly a year away from being widely available to the American public, and unprepared medical systems were overwhelmed by rising case counts. As the NBA confronts omicron and the pandemic continues with no firm end date in sight, Silver and the owners now have the benefit of extensive experience with the virus, an expansive testing program, protocols for players and staffers and, most importantly, a 97 % vaccination rate and 65% booster rate among players that far exceed the national average. Those developments, plus a strong working relationship with the National Basketball Players Association throughout the pandemic, have positioned the NBA to weather this latest challenge with a

degree of confidence, even as it has been forced to make major compromises and settle for a Christmas slate that will be missing several highprofile players. “We’re not in panic mode at all,” said one league staffer. “We’ve gotten good guidance from experts that we’ve been working with for two years now. We have a highly vaccinated and highly boosted population [of players]. Cases will continue to happen, but the vaccines and boosters are working.” To continue playing through the pandemic, the NBA has altered virtually all its structural elements, including the timing and length of its schedule, the location of the 2020 playoffs, the structure of its postseason format, the size of its crowds, the frequency of team meetings, the terms of media access and seating alignments at games and on team flights. The latest significant change came last week, when the NBA and the NBPA agreed to rules that allow teams to sign replacement players using a hardship exception to combat outbreaks that have landed regular roster players in the league’s health protocols. Notable former players like Lance Stephenson and Joe Johnson have signed on to help fill in the gaps and dozens of G League players have been called up. This rush of new

Of course, reopening outside a bubble has presented many challenges. In addition to the players who are currently in protocols, three head coaches and several traveling media members have also been sidelined by omicron. Denver Nuggets guard Austin Rivers told the Denver Post on Wednesday that he was “surprised” that the league hasn’t shut down because players are “dropping like flies.” Before the current wave, all-stars like Gobert, Joel Embiid, Jayson Tatum and KarlAnthony Towns all contracted the virus and dealt with serious symptoms like sensory loss or long-term side effects like shortness of breath. The NBA drew criticism for being unable to reach agreement with the National Basketball Players Association for a vaccine mandate this summer, Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving sparked an extended controversy in September when he refused to be vaccinated and was therefore ineligible to play in home games due to New York City regulations and Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James frustrated scientists and activists when he said that it was “not my job” to promote vaccination efforts. But the NBA has rolled on in pursuit of a projected $10 billion in revenue this season after taking a 35 percent hit last season.
faces has prompted justified questions about the quality of play, just as games at the Disney World bubble and in largely empty stadiums last year represented sharp departures from the norm. With no perfect solution available during the pandemic, the NBA has consistently concluded that delivering something to fans, its television partners and sponsors is better than delivering nothing, assuming that the safety of the players, coaches and other employees remains a top priority. Dr. Robby Sikka, the Chair of the Covid Sports and Society Workgroup and a former Minnesota Timberwolves executive, said that the NBA has helped establish a blueprint for how businesses and schools can function during the pandemic, and that focusing on case counts rather than other metrics like hospitalizations or deaths is misguided at this stage of the pandemic given the availability and effectiveness of vaccines. “You would never send someone into the cold without a jacket, gloves and a hat,” Sikka said. “The jacket is the vaccine, the gloves are the masks and the hat is the testing. Testing, masking, vaccination and ventilation are the keys to being open. The NBA has been really proactive and done it all at a high level to stay open. If you’re a business looking to open in January, that’s the model you want to follow.”

From Page B2 you’s’ from other clubs taught Kotsay even a familiar interview wouldn’t give him a leg up. “I knew not to take anything for granted,” Kotsay said. “Relationships are valuable but they aren’t everything.” The A’s interviewed five others for the position, including A’s hitting coach Darren Bush and Marcus Jensen. Outside the organization, they interviewed Houston Astros bench coach Joe Espada, Boston Red Sox bench coach Will Venable and Tampa Bay Rays bench coach Matt Quatraro. “All five of them, we could have hired all of them. They were all outstanding,” Beane said. “It made the decision very challenging. We had six guys who could manage a major league team.” Beane has been drawn to his new manager since 1996, when the Florida Marlins snatched him as the ninth pick in the MLB draft’s first round out from under the A’s nose. With the 10th pick, the A’s selected Eric Chavez, an eventual sixtime Gold Glove winner who spent 12 seasons in Oakland. “It all turned out well,” Beane said. “Ultimately that obsession with Mark as a player continued as he made his way through the major leagues.” Kotsay joins Jeff Newman – the interim manager in 1986 between Jackie Moore and Tony La Russa – as the only managers in Oakland history with no previous managerial experience. But a reputation within the A’s organization not just as a Billy Beane obsession, but a respected coach, precedes him. He’s spent the last six seasons in the

clubhouse, first as a bench coach in 2016, then as quality control coach from 2018 to 2020 before moving to third base coach in 2021. Working alongside Melvin, Kotsay learned about the value of transparency and cultivating individual relationships with players within an organization that can be particularly cutthroat in the name of cost-efficiency. “He’s awesome,” Chad Pinder said last December. “With him playing for so long and not being that far removed from his playing days, he’s a guy that everyone gravitates toward. Pinder, a utility player, has struggled with consistency at the plate with inconsistent playing time since his call-up in 2016. Kotsay has been instrumental not only in helping him find a balance, but picking and choosing the right moments to coach him, offer words of encouragement. “He has a really good pulse on every type of player in the clubhouse. He knows how to handle each player individually. It’s not cookie cutter,” Pinder said. “That’s a big strength of Melvin’s, too, I see a lot of that it Kots.” Other than winning, of course, relationships he’s developed during his years with the A’s should dictate his managerial style and transition into a new role. “I think the care factor is top of my list,” he said. “I’m an open book. I may have some emotion that comes across at times – good and bad – but I think the players understand I’m there for them.” With Melvin and bench coach Ryan Christenson departed to San Diego, the A’s are expected to keep the rest of their coaching staff in tact and make new hires to replace vacancies, including third base coach, in the near future. Kotsay said he hasn’t ruled out expanding the coaching staff, too – a trend among some of baseball’s more successful teams.
