FAIRFIELD — The City Council agreed to part ways in November with City Manager Stefan Chatwin on a split vote and with an agreement in place to pay Chatwin for eight months while partially muzzling Chatwin, city officials and current City Council members. Council members and Chatwin, either verbally, in writing or both, spoke of the mutual decision to end Chatwin’s tenure with the city. That’s in keeping with a provision of Chatwin’s separation CHATWIN agreement that prevents city officials – to include the City Council – and Chatwin from making disparaging comments related to his employment with the city. Chatwin, 54, was hired in late 2019. His first day on the job was Dec. 30, 2019. Chatwin’s contract, dated Nov. 14, 2019, was for four years with compensation of $255,000 per year and benefits costs of approximately $180,000. The severance clause of the contract calls for six months of salary and health insurance for termination without cause, for forced resignation or for nonrenewal of his employment agreement. A separate clause of Chatwin’s contract requires the city to provide 60 days of advance notice of the council’s intention to terminate the See Chatwin, Page A10 SUNDAY

FAIRFIELD — The city has a new fire chief for the first time in nearly nine years. “I could not be more proud than to transfer command to Matt Luckenbach,” outgoing Fairfield Fire Chief Tony Velasquez said during the change-of-command ceremony held Thursday at Station 37 on Kentucky Street. Luckenbach took the oath of office from Mayor Harry Price, becoming the fifth chief since 1995 when the department evolved from a public safety agency under the authority of the police chief. It had been a department many years prior to the switch to a public safety agency, but largely a volunteer operation. See Chief, Page A10

Frazier wraps up political career Matt Miller

mmiller@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Jim Frazier decided to keep a low profile in his final days as the District 11 representative in the California Assembly. He had dinner with supporters Wednesday night and spent time during the final days cleaning out his office. “I have nine years accumulated,” Frazier said. “It’s sad, but I keep reflecting on the fact that we went in with the intention of getting things done and I think I’ve accomplished everything I wanted to.” Frazier announced Dec. 1 his intention to leave office. Even with a new election ahead in 2022, he was ready to step down. He said it was the salary that spurned his interest to walk away.

He went through five elections during his time in the Assembly, and has culminated a career that began as a planning commissioner, city council member and mayor in Oakley. “It’s mostly the pay,” he said. “A lot of people don’t really know that there are no benefits and no retirement. It is hard to sustain. I have to fish or cut bait. I can’t tap my savings for another session. A lot of colleagues retire from other jobs with a pension and they do OK. This was my only source of income.” He previously was a contractor and went about his own business. The move into public service came by way of a family tragedy. On Dec. 16, 2000, both of his daughters were involved in a head-on

good. The only thing is, with the rise of computers, I now rarely use it. That’s why when I was going to start doing signings for my book, “Growing Up In Fairfield, California,” I had to practice my penmanship. I’m talkin’ writing the same sentiments over and over like Bart Simpson on the chalkboard. I have been overwhelmed by the response to my book. Honestly, I thought that the most satisfying part of the project would be to finally have accomplished something I have wanted to do literally for decades. But it wasn’t. What has absolutely warmed my soul is witnessing how happy it has made so many people. I have many people whom I know from different life tributaries that have nothing to do with Solano County’s seat and they have bought copies of my book as well. I always tell them that while I appreciate them doing so, it is kind of like going to someone else’s high school prom or reunion. Still, many of them have liked it and just relate the remembrances to things in their own parts of the world. But for those who remember most if not all of the things mentioned in the book, it resonates very deeply. A woman stopped me the Fairfield Civic Center Library and told me that a friend of her mother had had a stroke and they were successfully using my book and the memories it evoked to connect. I had no words. By the way, I had a display for my book at the library throughout December, which I just took down last week. It was just in time because evidently it was causing people to crave it so much that someone has used the five finger discount. There were six copies of my book available

They can be read in full by visiting https://bit.ly/BDGuidelines. They basically say that while just posting the words “happy birthday” with or without an exclamation point at the end is acceptable, why not take a moment or two and Google me up a funny or poignant picture related to some of the things I like? These include, but are not limited to, the Raiders, the Lakers, hard rock music, Scrabble, geeky pop culture, etc. Bonus points if it hits more than one of those sweet spots. My guidelines are a tonguein-cheek thing, but a related

event that I am completely serious about is the Facebook Birthday Fundraiser I am doing. My brother Kenneth James Wade took his own life in 1990 after taking the life of his girlfriend. I also have friends and acquaintances who have taken their own lives. So I’m raising money for the International Association for Suicide Prevention and your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500. Every little bit helps.

Covid disease rate has tripled in recent weeks Number of cases, hospitalizations climbing Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County is experiencing a surge in the Covid-19 disease rate, resulting in increases in the number of cases and the number of residents ending up in area hospitals. The county also is reporting an increase in a number of other respiratory viruses, including the adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, metapneumovirus and coronavirus other than SARS, the latter being the cause of Covid-19. “So what that tells me is we are seeing the (type of) viruses we were seeing prior to the pandemic,” Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said in a phone interview. That collection of viruses is fairly common, with RSV typically affecting younger children, which Covid-19 has shown not to do. As for the flu, Matyas said there have been fewer than 12 cases reported to his office by area hospitals

and the long-term care facilities. However, more nursing homes are reporting positive testing for the new coronavirus, all but one in recent weeks from staff members. “We are over-reactive to facilities and do not wait for transmission (among residents) to call it an outbreak,” Matyas said. “That is why Solano has such a lower death rate in facilities compared to other counties.” Of the 351 Covidrelated deaths in the county – including two new reports on Wednesday – 74 are from nursing facilities, with seven since July. The other 67 all occurred prior to March, Matyas said. Additionally, there have been 15 deaths from the prisons in Vacaville. The two most recent deaths were both men: one over 65 and in hospice care and in a facility; the other between 50 and 65, living at home, and having been in poor health for much of his life, Matyas said. Neither man was vaccinated. Of the 94 deaths that

have occurred since July 1, 74 were unvaccinated and 20 were vaccinated, the county reported. The county reported 643 new cases on Wednesday, part of a continuing rise in the numbers. However, only 530 of those cases were from the past two days. That takes the total number of cases for the pandemic over 49,000 to 49,378, the county reported. “That corresponds to a very high spike following Christmas,” Matyas said. The active cases climbed to 1,382, up 511 from Monday and putting the 10-day daily case average at 138.7, up from 87.1, the county reported. The seven-day positivity testing rate has gone from between 4% and 5% to 16% on Wednesday. That reflects, in part, a sharp rise in the number of people being tested, with more than 1,000 on Tuesday alone. “The indication from what we are getting from (many of) the people who are getting tested is that they were at a

SCOE distributing Covid testing kits to school districts Todd R. Hansen

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Office of Education will be distributing in-home Covid-19 testing kits as part of a statewide effort to have students have two negative results before returning to class. “Solano County Office of Education coordinated (personal protective equipment) distribution to Solano schools during the pandemic and we will continue that role with testing kits. SCOE is positioned to support Solano school districts, charters and families in any way we can,” Superintendent of Schools Lisette Estrella-Henderson said in a statement. The kit distribution is being coordinated with the county Public Health Division and the state Department of Public Health. The state agency released a statement last week encouraging all students and school employees to test at home for Covid-19 twice before returning from the winter break. “While CDPH highly

CDC issues E. coli alert in California, 5 other states Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — One confirmed E. coli case in California is among the 13 cases for which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday issued an alert. The products identified by the CDC are Simple Truth Organic Power Greens and Nature’s Basket Organic Power Greens with “best if used by” dates through Dec. 20. “Although these salads are expired, CDC is concerned they may still be in people’s homes,” the statement said. “Investigators are working to determine if additional products may be contaminated.” There are up to 13 E. coli cases identified in six states, with three to seven of those in Washington; two in Alaska; and one each in California, Oregon, Ohio and Missis-

sippi, the CDC reported. “Four people have been hospitalized, including one with a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome. No deaths have been reported,” the CDC said in its statement. “The true number of sick people in an outbreak is likely much higher than the number reported, and the outbreak may not be limited to the states with known illnesses. This is because many people recover without medical care and are not tested for E. coli,” the CDC said. Despite the possible public concern of an outbreak in the region, Richard Owens, a spokesman for the state Public Health Department, cited “patient confidentiality” as the reason not to identify where in California the E. coli case occurred. The Daily Republic has filed a California Public

Records Act request compelling the state agency to provide the information or to show the legal source of why identifying a general geographical area could violate a patient’s confidentiality. The CDC said people usually get sick two to eight days after swallowing the germ, but that is an average. “Symptoms often include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, often bloody, and vomiting. Some people may have a fever, which usually is not very high, less than 101 (degrees),” the CDC reported. If anyone had the products in question in their refrigerators, the CDC suggests these steps be taken: n Throw out recalled foods, and any other foods “stored with it or touching it.” Put the foods in a sealed bag in the garbage.

If recalled food was stored in a reusable container, wash it with hot, soapy water before reusing the container again. n Empty the refrigerator and put the items on a counter or table while you clean. Take out shelving, drawers and any other removable parts. n Wash shelving, drawers and any other removable parts by hand with hot, soapy water. Dry with a clean towel. n Clean and sanitize inside the refrigerator with hot, soapy water; then wipe with clean water to rinse off soap. Dry with a clean towel, and don’t forget to wipe inside the doors and any drawers that cannot be removed. n Wipe food containers and drink containers with hot, soapy water before returning to the clean refrigerator. Return shelves, drawers and food back into refrigerator.

Obituary Barbara Smith

Jan. 23, 1941 — Dec. 20, 2021

After a short unexpected illness, Barbara June Smith passed away peacefully on Dec. 20, 2021, surrounded by her loved ones. Born in Oklahoma in 1941 to Riley and Ray Smith, Barbara was one of 10 children. She is survived by her brother, Donald and sisters, Charlene and Edna. Barbara was a fiercely dedicated and loyal mother to her three children, Gregory, Kirk and Kathryn, as well as a huge influence in the raising of her three grandchildren, Victoria, Russell and Ryan. She is also survived by her great-granddaughter, Allison. Mom was our biggest cheerleader and our constant supporter. Our family wouldn’t be what it is today without the constant guidance, love and light she provided for us. Barbara spent her retirement years with her faithful companion and best friend, her pup, Susie Q. They enjoyed long walks along the waterfront in Suisun and having breakfast at the outdoor cafes with friends. She will be greatly missed.

A Caltrans worker directs traffic at the Applegate exit where Interstate 80 eastbound was closed due to snow levels, Monday.

Record snowfall in NorCal may help state’s electric grid in 2022 Tribune Content Agency The deluge of snow in recent days along the Sierra Nevada mountain range has been a recordbreaker. And that’s not only good news for ski resorts but it may lead to a healthy boost in hydroelectricity production in California this coming summer, which would help the state’s oftenstrained electric grid. “It’s definitely been a December to remember,” said Alex Tardy, senior meteorologist at the National Weather Service. “The amount of snow has been incredible.” The UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab, at Donner Pass and nearly 7,000 feet elevation, recorded 8 more inches of snow Wednesday morning, bringing the total for the month of December to 210 inches, the most the lab has measured for any December. Snowfall for the season thus far is at 264 inches. On its Twitter feed, the lab posted, “We are now at 258% of our avg snowpack through this date and we

have received 70% of our avg annual snowfall.” All the snow and rain in lower elevations have boosted the water levels at reservoirs around the state. Jeanine Jones, interstate resources manager for California’s Department of Water Resources, said statewide reservoir storage Wednesday was about 78% of average, a 12% improvement compared to one month ago, “Considering how low some of the reservoir storage was going into this season, I probably don’t want to get optimistic just yet,” Jones said, “but certainly we’re very happy with the conditions that we had so far because this is much better than where we were last year. Now the big question, of course, is will this continue?” In the summer of 2021, things got about as bad as they could get for reservoirs that deliver hydroelectricity to the state’s grid. The second straight year of an unrelenting drought, combined with sustained hot weather, sent water

levels plunging. Not far from Chico, the six-turbine Edward Hyatt Power Plant had to shut down operations for the first time ever in August after the water level at the Oroville Dam reservoir that feeds the plant dipped to historic lows. Due to the limited water availability last summer, the maximum output level from California hydro facilities could only be sustained for one or two hours per day, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The numbers for 2021, compiled by the California Energy Commission, are not expected to come out until summer but the figures for 2020 – another dry and hot year – show how much hydroproduction can be affected when precipitation comes in below normal. In-state hydroelectricity generation in 2020 dropped 44.3% from the year before – 21,414 gigawatthours from a combination of the state’s large and small hydropower plants,

He is a graduate of the Senior Management Institute for Police and the POST Command College, and holds a professional certificate in law enforcement command from the University of San Diego. He was born at Travis Air Force Base, was raised in Fairfield, and is a longtime Solano County resident, with 22 years in Vacaville. “On behalf of the Vacaville City Council,

I would like to formally congratulate Ian Schmutzler on his appointment as our next chief of police,” Mayor Ron Rowlett said in the statement. “I would also like to acknowledge the many efforts that City Manager Busch and his team made to ensure an extensive recruitment was completed. I am highly encouraged that this comprehensive process yielded one of Vacaville’s finest.” Former Fairfield Chief Joe Allio has been serving as interim chief for the past six months. Schmutzler is scheduled to start his new duties Jan. 7. He replaces John Carli, who retired in April after 32 years at the department, being named chief in 2014. Schmutzler served as chief to transition to Allio as the interim chief.

compared to 38,494 gigawatt-hours in 2019. Thanks to all the snow and rain in December, things are looking better for California reservoirs, although levels are still below normal. Lake Oroville is up to 72% of average, as of midnight Dec. 28, according to the Department of Water Resources, or DWR for short. However, Lake Shasta – home to the state’s largest reservoir – is at 49% of average. Whether the rest of the winter will produce more snow and rain is a crucial question. DWR points out that California has “the most variable weather conditions in the nation.” The years 2020 and 2021 ranked as the driest two water years in state history. And the December dump hardly means the drought is over. “We have to wait until the snow starts to melt and hopefully we’ll have a nice, gradual melt in the spring,” Tardy of the National Weather Service

FAIRFIELD — Another holiday weekend means another urgent message from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District for residents not to use their fireplaces – and to refrain from firing off fireworks as part of the New Year’s celebration. “Let’s all celebrate the new year and protect the health of our family and neighbors by refraining from wood burning and personal fireworks displays,” Jack Broadbent, executive officer of the air district, said in a statement. “Both wood burning and fireworks can create significant air pollution in our neighborhoods. Together, we can ensure that all Bay Area residents enjoy cleaner air this holiday weekend.” Most Solano County cities have a ban against fireworks. The message does not come because the air quality of the district is expected to be bad over the weekend. A Spare the Air alert is not in effect.

“However, wood burning is strongly discouraged at this time,” the district stated. District officials liken wood burning to cigarette smoke, stating that the smoke “contains fine particles and carcinogenic substances that make the air unhealthy to breathe. Wood smoke is the major source of air pollution in the Bay Area in the wintertime and is especially harmful to children, the elderly and people with respiratory conditions.” To receive Spare the Air alerts, text START to 817-57; call 1-877-4NOBURN (1-877-466-2876) or go to www.sparethe air.org or www.baaq md.gov.

Bakersfield man killed when hit by big rig on Hwy 37 Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — A 30-year-old Bakersfield man was killed Thursday in a traffic collision that involved a big rig and five other vehicles on Highway 37 near Mare Island, the California Highway Patrol reported. Miguel Flores-Candelle was pronounced dead at the scene, the CHP reported. He was identified by the Solano County Sheriff-Coroner’s Office. The incident occurred about 11:30 a.m. when a Freightliner, traveling west on Highway 37 east of Mare Island, swerved to miss slower traffic and hit a concrete barrier. The big rig struck a Chevrolet truck, a Toyota Camry and a Tesla Model 3, the CHP reported. “The Freightliner then collided with the concrete center median, went through the median and into the eastbound lanes where it collided with a Dodge pickup. Debris from the center median also struck an Infinity that was traveling eastbound (on Highway 37),” the CHP reported. Flores-Candelle was the driver of the

Dodge pickup. The driver of the Camry, Rogelio Cardenas, 32, of Brentwood, was transported to Sutter Solano Hospital with what the CHP described as minor injuries. The big rig was driven by David Jones, 45, of Vacaville. He did not suffer any injuries, the CHP reported. The other drivers involved included Richard Bergson, 58, of Benicia, and Angela Arnold, 42, of Vallejo. Bergson was driving the Infinity and Arnold was driving the Chevy Silverado. Neither suffered any injuries, the CHP reported. Mitchell Molletta, 25, of Fremont, also escaped injuries. He was driving the Tesla, the CHP reported. “At this time, it is unknown if distracted driving, drugs and/or alcohol intoxication is a factor in this traffic collision,” the CHP report states. Any person with information about the incident is asked to call the CHP non-emergency line at 1-800-TELL-CHP (1-800835-5247) or the CHP Solano Area Office at 707-639-5600.

Large Colorado fire destroys hundreds of homes, evacuates 35,000 people Tribune Content Agency COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Authorities on Thursday evacuated the entire towns of Superior and Louisville as multiple large grass fires burned throughout Boulder County amid extremely high winds. Authorities evacuated approximately 35,000 people from the towns of Superior and Louisville on Thursday as a large grass fire burned throughout Boulder County amid extremely high winds. The fire, called the Marshall fire, has burned approximately 1,600 acres as of 5 p.m. since it sparked at around 11 a.m. at South Foothills Highway and Marshall Road, according to the Boulder Emergency Operations Center, which was activated to respond to the fire. The Marshall fire has destroyed at least 370 homes in the Sagamore neighborhood in Superior, 210 homes in Old Town Superior and several businesses, including the Element Hotel and a Target store, officials said. As of 5 p.m., there have been no deaths reported in connection to the fire; however, Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said it is too soon to tell and he “would not be surprised” if people have been killed by the blaze. One person, a police officer, was

Grid From Page A4 said. “It’s still too early to celebrate but it does look fantastic for hydrogeneration, water supply and just plain getting us back closer to normal. But it’s important to emphasize, it’s only late December. We have a lot of winter to go and we have seen months in California where precipitation just stops.”

injured when his eye was hit by debris. A second, smaller fire, called the Middle Fork fire, has also been burning near North Foothills Highway and Middle Fork Road since 10:30 a.m. The fire is not threatening any structures and has no size estimate, officials said. Gov. Jared Polis declared a state of emergency due to the fires at 3:20 p.m. The declaration allows the state to access emergency funds and provide state resources including the Colorado National Guard, Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control and the State Emergency Operations Center. The National Weather Service in Boulder said the fires are spreading quickly and called the conditions “life threatening” for people in Superior and Louisville. At least one of the fires was sparked by downed power lines, which were pushed over by extreme winds in the county, according to the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s office reported two grass fires at 10:30 a.m. in the 5000 block of North Broadway and near North Foothills Highway and Middle Fork Road. The Broadway fire was contained at 1 acre, while the Middle Fork fire is still burning. Long-range forecasts, Tardy said, for Southern California call a slightly below average rainfall for January through March. Northern and Central California may see about average precipitation. Another thing to keep in mind is that the state’s reservoirs are designed to act as flood control. Dam operators want to keep enough space in their reservoirs so that if the weather warms quickly and all the melted snow comes rushing down,

Things we know now that we didn’t know in January Tribune Content Agency Remember when we stood on the precipice of a new year, convinced that 2021 would be the year that 2020 wasn’t, and everything would go back to normal? How’d that work out for us? Some things got back on track in 2021. Politicians kept politicking, and celebrities kept celebriting, but much happened that we probably wouldn’t have predicted. Here’s a list of things that we know now that we didn’t when the year was launched, fresh and new and full of promise. We didn’t know that . . . A bare-chested man wearing a buffalo headdress would be photographed inside the Capitol – and that wouldn’t be the strangest or most terrifying thing that happened on Jan. 6, when a mob of self-professed patriots tried to overthrow democracy. We also didn’t know that we’d still be trying to figure out what really happened almost 12 months later. Covid, beaten back with restrictions, masks and three different vaccines would still be the lead story on the front pages every morning and the TV news every night as another variant threatens. Billionaires Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos would be launched into space – of their own free will – on their private space crafts within days of each other. Alec Baldwin would be the subject of a criminal probe after his prop gun went off and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during a rehearsal on the set of his low-budget Western movie, “Rust.” The hashtag #FreeBritney would seem to work as Britney Spears is freed from the conservatorship that had shaped and sometimes cruelly ordered her life for 13 years. Gov. Gavin Newsom, sometimes seen as a savior and sometimes as it won’t swamp floodprone areas. “For example, Folsom Reservoir just outside of Sacramento, which is a hydro reservoir, is releasing water right now just to maintain flood control space,” DWR’s Jones said. More robust production from hydro would be welcome news to the California Independent System Operator, known as CAISO, which manages the electric grid for about 80% of the state. “The recent rain

The Obamas would young White man who See Know, Page A8 and snow is an encouraging sign,” CAISO spokeswoman Anne Gonzales said in an email. Hot, dry weather in the past two years has contributed to strains on the grid. In August 2020, a “heat dome” that settled virtually all of California as well as neighboring states – among other factors – triggered the CAISO to institute the first statewide rolling blackouts in nearly 20 years. Another round of outages was narrowly

avoided just a couple of weeks later. No rolling blackouts occurred in 2021 but the CAISO did order eight Flex Alerts – calls for utility customers across the state to voluntarily reduce consumption – over the course of a blistering summer because of high energy demand and tight energy supplies in the West. Hot weather causes Californians to crank up their air conditioners and as solar generation plum-

mets when the sun sets, the electric grid needs megawatts of power from other sources to instantly make up the difference. More robust numbers from hydroelectricity can help provide some extra cushion. Gonzales said the CAISO will use the data it accumulates from the winter through April to prepare its annual assessment for Summer 2022 conditions, including how much of a contribution hydro can make.

with your husband. Thank you for sharing your experience about what honest, compassionate communication can do in a relationship – especially when you hit a rough patch. Dear Annie: I went to buy fish recently at our local supermarket. The nicest young man waited on me. As I walked out of the store, I thought about how lucky we are to have nice help. I thought to myself, “I should have told the young man, ‘Thank you for working.’” Everyone is looking for workers. We should not only thank our workers but also tell them how much we appreciate them for coming into work every day. — Happy Shopper Dear Happy Shopper: What a timely reminder as 2021 draws to a close. Workers such as the gentleman who helped you at the supermarket have kept food on our tables, even when many of our stores were closed for Covid-19. There is another message buried in your letter that I want to emphasize: One friendly face has the power to make someone’s day. Don’t underestimate it. Pay it forward.

Your connections grow stronger, your relationships more vibrant as you make the sort of bold choices that are only possible between people who truly trust one another. Aries and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 14, 33, 40 and 15.

One way to keep someone’s attention is to dangle a promise in the air, then yank it back. It’s the old carrot-on-a-string trick, not for the faint of heart, though it keeps things interesting. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve been so busy watching the entertainment around you that you forgot to get up and show the world what you can do. Take your turn in the spotlight. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll find creative ways to use what you have. You’ll tinker and fix things and assemble your resources in such a way that the result is greater than the sum of its parts. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Plan for future good times. The fun you anticipate

will bring your endorphins up almost as much as the fun you’re actually having. You love to be surprised by humor and camaraderie. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Life is not a dress rehearsal. You’re fully aware that the show will go on regardless of the level of energy of your performance, and this is why you give it your all. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Removing yourself from a scene will help you see it for what it is. Tonight, someone you know needs to hear words of love. Lead with compassion. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). To learn from your mistakes, you have to be willing to make them in the first place. Your habit of being hard on yourself after the fact isn’t helping. Ease up. It’s okay not to get it right every time. COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Sagittarius and Capricorn hit it off like an explosion, lighting up every scene they visit. In the first days of 2022, the moon moves out of Sagittarius and goes dark in Capricorn, swinging their dynamic in interesting ways. They will learn more about each other in one weekend than they could learn in months of dating!

the other one doesn’t. But how can South stay in tune with the deal after West leads the diamond king? South’s strong jump shift promised 13-16 high-card points and either a long, strong heart suit or a heart-diamond two-suiter. When North showed values in spades, South used Blackwood twice. There are 12 top tricks: three spades, seven hearts, one diamond and one club. The 13th might come from a 3-3 spade break or the club finesse. As the latter is the better chance (50% versus 35.53%), there is a temptation immediately to discard the spade three on dummy’s diamond ace. However, that is wrong because it is possible to try both chances. Ruff at trick one, play off all of your trumps (perhaps an opponent will discard a spade from four) and cash dummy’s three spade winners. Is your spade seven now high?

Biden, Putin speak again on Ukraine Tribune Content Agency

Travelers make their way through Miami International Airport in Miami, Florida, Tuesday.

US airlines cancel more than 1,000 flights on day before New Year’s Eve Tribune Content Agency Airline cancellations are already piling up in the U.S., with 1,125 flights scrubbed as rising coronavirus cases hobbled staffing. Winter storms meanwhile threatened to further disrupt travel over New Year’s weekend. JetBlue Airways Corp. scratched 175 flights, accounting for 17% of its schedule, by 4:20 p.m. Thursday in New York, according to FlightAware. com. Allegiant canceled 96 flights, or 19% of its service. United Airlines Holdings Inc. scrubbed 199 flights, representing 9% of its schedule. The disruptions come after thousands of flights were canceled over the Christmas holiday

weekend and into early this week as winter storms combined with staffing shortages caused by the spread of coronavirus cases from the omicron variant. “Like many businesses and organizations, we have seen a surge in the number of sick calls from omicron,” JetBlue said by email. To give customers time to make other plans, the New Yorkbased carrier pared its schedule through Jan. 13. While federal guidance reducing the isolation period for many people testing positive to five days from 10 is expected to help staffing, “we expect the number of Covid cases in the Northeast – where most of our crew members are based – to continue to

surge for the next week or two,” JetBlue said. United and Allegiant Travel Co. also cited omicron-related staff shortages. The Transportation Security Administration said it screened 2.02 million people around the U.S. on Wednesday. Denver, Atlanta and Los Angeles were among the hardest hit for cancellations and delays Thursday afternoon, according to FlightAware, amid strong winds and precipitation. No relief is expected in the near term. Heavy snow is expected in much of the West on Thursday, according to the National Weather Service, while snow and an icy mix are “expected

to paint a swath of hazardous travel conditions New Year’s Day from the front range of the Rockies to the Midwest and Great Lakes.” More than 650 flights already have been canceled for Friday and about 400 are already scratched for Saturday. Airlines probably won’t see much impact on earnings, said Cowen Inc. analyst Helane Becker. Most canceled flights will be rebooked and carriers may use larger planes to consolidate service, she said. “The airlines are doing their best to accommodate passengers,” Becker said by email. “But as it affects earnings, we don’t think it’s going to be significant to fourth-quarter results.”

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin spoke by phone Thursday, the second direct conversation between the two leaders in the last three weeks as the Russian leader continues to seek assurances from the West before he draws down troops positioned along his country’s border with Ukraine. Administration officials said they did not know why Putin sought to speak to Biden, who warned his Russian counterpart in a Dec. 7 video call not to invade Ukraine. According to the White House, the call began at 3:35 p.m. (Eastern), and the two leaders spoke for about 50 minutes. Biden dialed

in from his home in Wilmington, Delaware, where he is vacationing this week. The White House had hoped that direct talks and the clear threat of stiff economic sanctions from the U.S. and other European allies would be enough to deter Putin from invading his country’s neighbor. But in the three weeks since his first conversation with Biden, Putin has done little to signal what direction he may go, keeping the roughly 100,000 Russian troops in place along the Ukraine border but not yet attacking. In the meantime, he has continued to demand security guarantees from NATO, wary of the alliance’s growing intervention to shore up Ukraine’s defenses.

CDC tells even vaccinated people to avoid cruises; shares tumble Tribune Content Agency Shares of cruise operators fell after U.S. health officials said travelers should avoid them even if they’re vaccinated. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention raised its travel alert on cruise ships Thursday to the highest-risk level, saying Covid-19 spreads easily between people aboard in close quarters. Even people who are fully vaccinated may be at risk of getting and spreading the virus, the agency said. Shares of Carnival Corp., Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. and Norwe-

gian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. tumbled on the news. Covid cases have been reported on 94 cruise ships in U.S. waters, and nearly all of those outbreaks have met the threshold for a formal investigation by the CDC. “Since the identification of the omicron variant, there has been an increase in the number of Covid-19 cases among cruise passengers and crew reported to CDC,” the agency said on its website. The omicron-fueled surge in Covid cases has drawn calls to halt cruise operations. Some ships

have been reportedly denied entry at various ports after passengers and crew tested positive for the virus. The Cruise Lines International Association trade group said in an email that the CDC recommendation “is particularly perplexing” since the number of cases identified on ships “make up a very slim minority of the total population onboard – far fewer than on land.” “No setting can be immune from this virus,” the group said. In an email, Carnival said it doesn’t plan any schedule changes.

Unincorporated Solano County Two California Highway Patrol officers investigating reports of a single-vehicle crash shortly after 10:30 p.m. Jan. 30 on Interstate 80 west of Dixon Avenue in the area of Oday Road, which fronts I-80 for a stretch between Dixon and Vacaville, shot the man in the vehicle, Carl C. Walker, 29, of Sacramento, after he pulled a loaded gun on them, authorities reported. An investigation by the Solano County District Attorney’s Office ruled the officers’ decision to shoot Walker were “objectively reasonable and necessary” because Walker. Marco M. Guzman, 49, of Napa, faces felony allegations of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and hit-andrun causing death, and misdemeanor allegations of driving with a suspended license and driving without a required interlock device in connection with the hit-and-run death of an 80-year-old rural Fairfield man March 12 at 4488 Abernathy Road at Andrews Lane. The man was riding an ATV when he was struck. Guzman, who has pleaded not guilty, is scheduled to appear in court Feb. 9 in Vallejo for a readiness conference and to set dates for a preliminary hearing. Mynard Alfranko Simpson, 34, and Nicole Noel Samosa, 38, are charged in connection with the death of Danny Trask, 19, of Oakland, whose body was found at 11:15 a.m. Aug. 10 by a passer-by who reported seeing a man in an agricultural ditch at the side of West Dixon Avenue, 1,000 feet from Interstate 80. Simpson was arrested on suspicion of murder and has pleaded not guilty. His bail is set at $750,000. Samosa faces a charge of being an accessory to a crime and has also pleaded not guilty. They are scheduled to return to court Jan. 7 in Fairfield for a preliminary hearing.

Former Fairfield Fire Chief Tony Velasquez claps after new chief Matt Luckenbach was sworn in, Thursday.

Chief From Page One Luckenbach noted the changes over the years as he looked out over a gathering that included a number of retired firefighters and his current staff. “Thirty years ago we didn’t have good equipment, good staffing and morale was pretty low,” Luckenbach said. He credited Velasquez for changing the culture of the department, and in an interview following the ceremony, described Velasquez as the best chief the department had ever had, and the best in the region. Velasquez is retiring after a 30-year career in the fire service. He took over as the Fairfield chief in April 2013. “Being a public servant is part of the mission, but you really start getting into the job knowing how much of a team it is,” Velasquez said in a recent interview with the Daily

Republic. “In my younger munity College and had However, Luckenbach years, I was part of his paramedic training said in the interview many sports organizations in Vacaville. that staffing is still one and I loved that.

contract without cause. That same clause in the contract allows the council to place Chatwin on administrative leave, with full pay and benefits, for any portion of the 60-day notice period. Another portion of the contract stipulates if Chatwin terminates the agreement, he shall not be entitled to any severance. City Council members shortly after the vote on Chatwin’s separation agreement acknowledged Chatwin’s resignation and the council acceptance of his resignation. Chatwin in a letter dated Nov. 24 to the City Council stated, in part, “. . . I tender my resignation.” But the separation agreement reopens that portion of Chatwin’s initial contract, a change the council agreed to on a 5-1 vote and one that allowed for the additional payments to Chatwin. “The tender and offer of resignation shall not be construed as a waiver or bar to Mr. Chatwin’s right to severance” as described in his employment contract, according to the separation agreement. A copy of the separation agreement was provided to the Daily Republic pursuant to a California Public Records Act request. The agreement details such things as how long Chatwin will be paid and receive benefits, the circumstances under which his citypaid health insurance may end prior to the termination date set forth in the agreement, and includes a nondisparagement clause. “The city agrees that it will not make any written or verbal statements on

behalf of the city that disparages Mr. Chatwin. The city further agrees that its current elected officials, while serving as an elected official of the city, will not make any disparaging comments about Mr. Chatwin,” the agreement states. “Mr. Chatwin agrees that he will not make any written or verbal public statements, to any person or entity, that are disparaging about the city, including its current elected officials.” The provision does not include statements made in response to a “valid civil or criminal subpoena, testifying under oath when compelled by law, or participating in any federal, state or local law enforcement or city investigation.” Either party may also refer to or republish “official findings” by a state or federal court, or a public agency. The agreement also allows Chatwin to file for unemployment benefits. The separation agreement was signed Nov. 29 by Mayor Harry Price and the city attorney. It was signed Nov. 30 by Chatwin and his attorney. Chatwin under the separation agreement remains on paid administrative leave through the end of January, a leave that began Dec. 1. He is entitled to a payout of all available vacation time amassed through Jan. 31. He will then receive six months of pay – $127,848 – as a single payment, will receive city-paid health insurance through the end of July and be eligible for extended health coverage, at his expense, for another year as allowed by law. His citypaid health insurance would end earlier if he takes another job and receives health benefits from that job. Chatwin’s base salary is now $255,696 per year.

FAIRFIELD — It’s hard to imagine another year in area sports with more ups and downs than 2021, one that has taken us all on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. It began with doubts that sports would even be played as Covid-19 put everything on hold to start the year. Once things got going, they were capped by an improbable state football championship with several area athletes competing in the Tokyo Olympic Games in between. Here’s a look at the area top 10 sports stories for 2021:

Vanden wins state football title After demolishing its first four playoff opponents by an average score of 58-25, the Vanden High football team rallied from a 13-0 fourth-quarter deficit to top Aquinas of San Bernardino, 14-13, to win the CIF Division 3-AA State Championship. Along the way, the Vikings won the school’s fourth Sac-Joaquin Section championship and first since 1995 – on which current Vanden coach Sean Murphy was a player.

Some gamesmanship? Garoppolo could still play Sunday for 49ers Tribune Content Agency SANTA CLARA — Before delving into what Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday about Jimmy Garoppolo having a “chance” to play Sunday against the Texans with a torn ligament in his right thumb, it’s worth revisiting what the 49ers’ head coach said in 2017 about gamesmanship when it came to quarterbacks. When is it worth keeping an upcoming opponent guessing about which QB is starting? Shanahan explained that became a significant “competitive advantage” when his top two QBs had completely different skill sets.

“If one guy is a complete option quarterback and does all this (running) stuff and the other guy can’t move at all,” Shanahan said, “then that’s something you keep a secret.” It’s possible Shanahan had a very good idea Wednesday that Garoppolo, a classic pocket passer, will be sidelined Sunday, meaning rookie Trey Lance, a dualthreat QB, will make his second career start. If so, though, Shanahan kept that a secret. He acknowledged that Garoppolo, who didn’t practice Wednesday of Thursday, had a See 49ers, Page B10

Warriors game with Nuggets postponed Tribune Content Agency

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (10) hasn’t completely been ruled out for Sunday’s game.

DENVER — With a Covid-19 outbreak tearing through their Thursday night opponent, the Golden State Warriors had their first game of the season postponed by pandemic complications as the Denver Nuggets’ available players dwindled below the minimum required by the NBA. The Warriors-Nuggets game scheduled for Thursday night was called off with no immediately scheduled makeup date, the NBA announced approximately five hours before tipoff, becoming the 11th game around

the league this season affected by surging pandemic. The league has taken measures to avoid further disruptions to the schedule, but the last-minute nature of Denver’s Covid-19 problem and its already depleted roster meant there were fewer than eight Nuggets available to suit up. The Warriors had been looking forward for a chance to finish what they started Tuesday in a 24-point comeback that fell just short in the first of a home-and-home series this week with Denver, only with the additions See Warriors, Page B10

There’s a reason SEC carries a superiority complex into semis Mark Bradley

The Atlanta JournalConstitution

ATLANTA — The Bowl Championship Series lasted from 1998 through 2013. A Big Ten representative won one BCS crown, that coming in overtime after a flag on fourth down kept the game going. The College Football Playoff became reality in 2014. A Big Ten rep has won the title once, that in the CFP’s Year 1. That’s two national championships in the 22 seasons since the sport got serious about deciding a national champ. Tonight, Alabama takes on Cincinnati in the Cotton Bowl in the first national semifinal at 12:30 p.m. Michigan and Georgia meet in the Orange Bowl at 4:30 p.m. Over those 22 years, the SEC won 13 times. Alabama has six titles. LSU has three, Florida two. Tennessee and Auburn have one each. (As we know too well, Georgia has none since Herschel was a freshman.) The SEC is 11-4 in CFP games. In one of those losses – Alabama over Georgia in overtime – the league beat itself. Two losses came against Clemson. The other came on the inaugural day of CFP competition. On Jan. 1, 2015, Ohio State beat Alabama 42-35 in a Sugar Bowl semifinal.

Bloomberg Opinion

ayor-elect Eric Adams is often compared to David Dinkins, the only other Black man elected as mayor of New York City. But Adams’s style may be more reminiscent of the man Dinkins defeated 32 years ago: Ed Koch. In 1977, New York was facing daunting challenges, and in his campaign Koch proclaimed himself a “liberal with sanity.” Adams’s willingness to get into a public fight with a majority of City Council members over solitary confinement is an indication that he sees himself in a similar way. Barely a year after nationwide protests demanding police reform, and mere days before Adams is officially sworn in, the former police captain is doubling down on the public-safety message that helped get him elected to City Hall. The headline from this exchange was Adams’s seemingly dismissive tone in suggesting that the council had no right to judge someone with his law enforcement background: “I wore a bulletproof vest for 22 years and protected the people of this city,” he said. “When you do that, then you have the right to question me.” In truth, Adams’s message was more nuanced. He rejected claims that he supports solitary confinement, which has fallen out of favor in recent years. He characterized his policy as “punitive segregation”: isolating inmates proved to be dangerous both to corrections staff and other prisoners. “You can’t have a jail system where someone assaults a staffer, slashes an inmate, and then say, ‘It’s all right, I’m going to give you an iPad and just hug you and say, “Don’t do it again,”’ he declared. Adams then turned his attention to the 29 incumbent and incoming council members who signed a letter upbraiding his position. “If anyone wants to talk to me,” he said, “don’t write a letter. Call me and speak with me. That is how we are going to resolve this.” Adams rightly sees the practice of politicians communicating with each other through “open letters” as a tiresome tactic meant mostly to get media attention. Not only is this a fight Adams wants, it’s also one that he needs. Council members can call solitary confinement “torture,” but I suspect more New Yorkers will be sympathetic to Adams’s view. These are the same workingclass folks he frequently cites as the key to his victory – the ones that Koch would constantly check in on, asking, “How’m I doing?” Koch was elected in 1977, just two years after the city’s near-bankruptcy produced the infamous “Ford to City: Drop Dead” headline and the year of summer blackouts and “Son of Sam.” Koch won by presenting himself as the law-and-order candidate. Frequently combative with the left of his day, Koch was also charismatic enough to become a national figure – an aspiration that Adams, judging from his frequent comments about the need for Democrats to forge a more moderate path, seems to share. This is not 1977. At the same time, it’s hard to overestimate the social, economic and psychic toll that Covid has taken on New York City and state. The Census Bureau estimates that New York State suffered a net population loss of 352,185 between July 2020 and July 2021 – the largest decline in the nation. Of course, public safety is not the only issue causing such flight, which isn’t only from the city. But a more concentrated focus on public safety will be necessary to accomplish a turnaround. Adams is smart to make the issue the subject of his first spat with the City Council. It was also savvy for him to appear with his immediate predecessor this week to show his commitment to having all public schools open for in-person classes on Jan. 3. Nowadays a “law and order” politician can’t focus only on controlling crime. That’s just the first half of the phrase. A law-and-order politician also has to ensure that parents can depend on the order that comes from their children regularly attending school. Does this all amount to a “liberal with sanity”? It’s too soon to say. Surely the progressive left will test the new mayor. But Adams needs to remember that his constituency is broader than that. Like Koch, Adams will succeed as long as he remembers to include the whole city when he asks, “How’m I doing?” Robert A.

U.S. is vulnerable to a cyberattack – ‘layered deterrence’ is the way forward

he United States is under attack. The battlegrounds couldn’t be more disparate, from our largest military installations and enormous energy-grid operators to the smallest mom-and-pop stores on Main Street and even our individual smartphones. Hackers, other criminals and foreign actors are seeking out any digital vulnerability to disrupt our lives, stall our economy and shut down access to vital information. The pandemic accelerated an already-in-progress shift to a more digitally focused life. There’s no doubt this connectivity saved lives and kept our economy afloat over the past two years, but it came at a cost: massive, potentially devastating weak points in the systems that power our daily lives. What happens if those networks are compromised? Recent attacks have affected our energy sector, slowed our supply chains and damaged government institutions ranging from federal offices to local municipalities. What is the impact on society if power grids and communications systems shut down? What is the impact on the individual if they can no longer work or learn remotely or access sensitive medical documents or their bank account? These difficult questions are why Congress created the Cyberspace Solarium Commission in 2019 to rethink our national security posture for the digital age. The commission, which we co-chair, is made up of bipartisan congressional leaders, executive branch officials, and experts from private industry, think tanks and research institutions. It met some 50 times to scrutinize the United States’ vulnerabilities in cyberspace and seek solutions. Our conclusion: America is woefully unprepared for the cyberthreats developing around the globe, but we can change that.

Angus King

Mike Gallagher

As the commission wraps up its scheduled work this month, more than three dozen of its recommendations have been enacted into law. These include the creation of a Senate-confirmed national cyber director to coordinate the federal government’s efforts in cyberspace. But as we reach the end of our commission’s tenure, we believe there are important, common-sense next steps that can help protect key U.S. networks and the people who rely on them. Our strategy – “layered cyber deterrence” – is rooted in the idea that, rather than a single solution, we need a multipronged approach to both prevent attacks before they’re launched and withstand the attacks that come. To change our enemies’ calculations, we must first harden our national defenses and resiliency. One major step toward that goal is improving the working relationship between the government and the private sector, which our commission team estimated controls over 80 percent of our threatened networks, including energy systems and financial markets. Although these systems are not under federal control, an attack on them would have a devastating impact on all Americans. We must bridge the governmentprivate sector gaps by passing legislation that secures our nation’s critical infrastructure and requires companies to report cyber-incidents, so that the federal government can better identify potential risks to national security and help with

damage mitigation. Both of these efforts made major progress in terms of building awareness and urgency in Congress this year but ultimately fell short. We must continue to push the ball forward. Layered cyber deterrence also calls for the United States to shape behaviors in cyberspace by working with partners and allies. The nonmilitary tools at our disposal include law enforcement, sanctions and diplomacy, which can establish clear rules for cyber-engagements and consequences for those who step out of line. We must also be able to impose costs on those who violate these norms, so our enemies – from nation-states to criminal organizations – know that if they attack us, they will pay an unacceptable price. The best cyberattack is the one that doesn’t occur – and the best way to prevent these attacks is through a clear, unambiguous policy of deterrence. After years of work, the cyberspace commission is wrapping up, but our members have unfinished business we don’t plan on stepping away from – and we’ll continue our work through legislation and negotiation and pressure when necessary. Just as the United States has defended its interests on land, sea and air, it must recognize that the nation’s interests in a fourth domain – cyberspace – are central to our country’s long-term security and prosperity. The threat will continue to evolve, but this is a challenge we can and must meet with imagination, determination, cooperation and engagement – from the desktop at the end of the supply chain to the top desk in the Oval Office and every place in between. Angus King, an independent, is a senator from Maine. Mike Gallagher, a Republican, represents Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District in the House. They are co-chairs of the Cyberspace Solarium Commission.

Financial Stability report reads like a bad script A aron Brown

Bloomberg Opinion

ollywood likes to serve up bigbudget disaster movies in early summer or the last few weeks of the year. The year the Financial Stability Oversight Council has joined the fun with its 2021 Annual Report to Congress. This report leads with huge, dramatic, eye-catching dangers: climate change, pandemics and cyberattacks. Each has spawned disaster movies, television shows and novels. Each is of intense political interest, which can be handy when asking for bigger budgets and more power. But planning for Hollywood disaster movies leads to poor risk management. Climate change, for example, could threaten financial stability in many ways. It could cause a natural disaster that knocks out many key financial institutions–like Superstorm Sandy but bigger and global. Rising sea levels could erode the value of real estate that was supposed to be uncorrelated and cause unexpectedly large losses in securities. Government regulations to reduce CO2 emissions could harm the value of fossil fuel reserves, oil companies, car manufacturers and others, perhaps leading to corporate and government defaults and bank failures. It’s easy to come up with dozens of others. The problem is that thinking about climate change requires relying on models forecasting future decades, not just climate but reactions of people, and dealing with many different implications at once. A more tractable task is to prepare for natural disasters. For one thing, you must do it whether or not you’re worried about climate change. For

another, you have thousands of historical examples and solid scientific understanding. Of course, you also have to consider other things that might happen as a result of climate change, a process that causes large swaths of real estate to change value at the same time, changes in government regulation and so forth. But each of these is best analyzed on its own, without worrying about what caused it. The Hollywood approach results in overinvestment in highly specific mitigants. Not only are these inconvenient and expensive, they rarely work because things never develop exactly as predicted. Effective and cost-effective risk management relies on simple and robust mitigants that are not designed under any specialized assumptions. Making every airline passenger remove their footwear because one person hid a bomb in their shoe and more than a dozen movies were made about shoe bombers, while letting people wear things that could just as easily hide explosives, is an example of Hollywood thinking. Even “natural disaster” is too broad a category for useful analysis. There are an infinite number of things that might happen, but a manageably small number of ways they can cause financial crises. An institution might not have necessary cash to pay its bills. There might be physical destruction of buildings or essential records. An institution might become insolvent due to a decline in value of its assets or an increase in value of its liabilities, or it might be prevented from doing business for regulatory reasons such as lack of capital. Key employees

might be killed, incapacitated or act perversely. Essential communication links might be severed. Public trust might evaporate, as in a bank run. Massive fraud or error or security breaches might be discovered. Government actions, up to and including war, could trigger crisis. Risk managers think about each of these possibilities without worrying to much about why they came about. You need a contingency plan if you lose access to your servers whether it’s due to physical destruction, loss of communication links, cyberattack, employee malfeasance or technical glitch, and whether the root cause was climate change or something else. The FSOC is in a different position from private sector risk managers. All the risks above are frequent occurrences and rarely trigger systemic problems. FSOC has to worry about any of them happening at an unexpectedly large scale, or in unexpected combination. Headline issues like climate change, pandemics and cyberattacks are exactly the wrong way to go about this, not just because they’re too big, uncertain and ill-defined for useful analysis, but because they are well known. Lots of people in and out of the government are worrying about climate change, pandemic and cyberattacks. Lots of Hollywood screenwriters are imagining every more exotic disasters. FSOC should stick to its mandate. Aaron Brown is a former managing director and head of financial market research at AQR Capital Management. He is the author of “The Poker Face of Wall Street.” He may have a stake in the areas he writes about.

Boba Fett had four lines in ‘Empire Strikes Back.’ How he ended up with his own TV show

Crossword

Los Angeles Times During the post-credits scene of “The Mandalorian” Season 2 finale, famed bounty hunter Boba Fett walks into the headquarters of a criminal syndicate to kill a former associate and take over. The lingering shot as Fett takes his place on the throne – with his lieutenant at his side – makes the message abundantly clear: It’s his time now. Now streaming on Disney+, “The Book of Boba Fett” follows Fett (Temuera Morrison) as he establishes himself as the new crime lord in charge among the local scum and villainy, along with his faithful right hand, Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen). The “Star Wars” spinoff series will also fill in some gaps about what Fett has been up to between the events of “Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi” (1983) and his appearance in “The Mandalorian.” Fett’s time in the spotlight has been a long time coming. Created more than 40 years ago, the fan-favorite bounty hunter is among the “Star Wars” franchise’s best known and most popular characters despite his limited presence in the original trilogy. Featured among a group of bounty hunters assembled by Darth Vader, Boba Fett makes his live-action debut in 1980’s “Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back” played by Jeremy Bulloch. According to “Under the Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett,” Fett clocked in with just six minutes and 32 seconds of screen time, speaking a total of four lines. Still, his few moments were memorable. A mysterious character clad in battle-worn armor who pilots a unique ship, Fett helps Vader track the heroes on the Millennium Falcon to the floating Cloud City, where the crew is captured. And though he’s a man of few words, it’s clear Fett is unafraid of Vader or the Galactic Empire and is more concerned about ensuring he can collect the bounty on Han Solo, who he later delivers to the fearsome Jabba the Hutt.

Origins Fett’s cult status means that much of the lore around his conception and introduction is as well-known among “Star Wars” fans as the character’s in-universe back story. Conceived by “Star Wars” mastermind George Lucas as new type of super trooper to be introduced in “Empire Strikes Back,” Fett was designed by the film’s art director (and future filmmaker) Joe Johnston and concept artist Ralph McQuarrie. Budgetary constraints led Lucas to reconceptualize the character as a lone bounty

Fett’s public debut came a couple of years before he was seen in “The Empire Strikes Back.” His first onscreen appearance was on television in an animated segment that aired as part of the notorious “Star Wars Holiday Special” on Nov. 17, 1978. The short sees a much chattier Fett befriend Luke Skywalker after saving him and his droids, only to be revealed as working for Darth Vader. But Fett’s first public appearance came shortly before this, when the character walked in a local parade in San Anselmo, Calif., with Darth Vader, in September 1978. (“Empire Strikes Back” assistant film editor Duwayne Dunham was the person under the Fett armor in the parade.) After “The Empire Strikes Back,” the bounty hunter returned briefly in “Return of the Jedi,” where he is still in Jabba’s circle. When Luke comes to Han’s rescue, Fett is (accidentally) knocked into the giant mouth of a sarlacc in a sand pit and is assumed to have perished. His appearance in “The Mandalorian” proves otherwise.

Back story Although Fett’s mystery was part of the bounty hunter’s original appeal, Fett’s official back story was revealed during the prequel trilogy in 2002’s “Attack of the Clones.” The second installment of the prequel trilogy introduces Boba’s father, Jango Fett (Morrison), a bounty hunter who was used as the template for the clone soldiers of the thenRepublic’s army. It turns out Boba is an unaltered Jango clone – meaning the scientists who created him did not modify him in any way, unlike the clone soldiers who were created with different enhancements. He was created

in exchange for the donated genetic material, for Jango to raise as his own. But bounty hunting is a dangerous life, and young Boba (Daniel Logan) watched his father be killed by Jedi master Mace Windu during a battle that led to the Clone Wars. He’s seen cradling his father’s helmet in the aftermath. Boba’s story was expanded further in a handful of episodes of the animated “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.” After joining up with a crew of bounty hunters, a young Boba infiltrates a Republic vessel in the guise of a young clone cadet in order to avenge his father. After he fails, he is captured and sent to a detention facility. While details remain sparse, it’s shown that he goes back to being a bounty hunter once he’s free. The ‘Mandalorian’ connection Sometime after surviving his close encounter with the sarlacc pit, Fett approaches Mandalorian Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) to reclaim his armor, which he inherited from his father, during the second season of “The Mandalorian.” During his adventure with Mando, Fett clears up one key detail fans have long wondered: Is he Mandalorian, or does he just wear Mandalorian armor? According to Fett, his father Jango was given his armor by Mandalorians, raising the question of whether that makes Jango, and by extension Boba, Mandalorian or not. (Djarin, for example, is a foundling who was adopted and raised into Mandalorian culture.) As the first person to wear what is now recognized as Mandalorian armor in “Star Wars,” Boba Fett ran ahead of the franchise’s establishment of Mandalorian culture – and, complicating matters further, Jango’s changing back stories have gone back and forth over the years as to whether he’s actually Mandalorian. For what it’s worth, Boba has never claimed to be Mandalorian.

by Phillip Alder Scandic Maritim Cup in Norway and reported by GeO Tislevoll, a Norwegian who lives in New Zealand. West couldn’t open with a weak two-bid in diamonds. Bakke (South) took a shot at four spades, hoping partner had something useful and not worrying about missing a slam opposite a passed partner. West led the diamond king; luckily for declarer, not a lethal low heart or trump. Bakke won with his ace and played the club king. East defended strongly by refusing to take the trick. (If he had won and returned a trump, declarer would have played clubs from the board, discarding losers galore.) Bakke realized that he needed East to have started with only one diamond. If so, he was ripe for an endplay. Bakke led the spade five to dummy’s king and played the club queen, ruffing East’s ace with his spade six. Then declarer cashed his spade ace and continued with the carefully conserved spade two, forcing East to win the trick even if he had thrown an honor under South’s spade ace. East took his two trump tricks but then had either to lead away from his heart king or play a club, letting declarer into the dummy for its club winners. Bakke, who also won last year’s Norwegian Open Pairs Championship, lost only two trump tricks. COPYRIGHT: 2022, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

With ‘Harry Potter’ reunion, HBO finds itself between Rowling and a hard place Tribune Content Agency When HBO announced its upcoming reunion special “Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts,” the starstudded lineup did not include You-Know-Who. In the weeks leading up to the highly anticipated program, streaming New Year’s Day on HBO Max, not a single teaser, trailer or poster has featured “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling, who has come under fire in recent years for repeatedly expressing anti-transgender views. Despite her absence from HBO’s marketing campaign, however, Rowling does appear in the special, which samples footage from a 2019 interview with her. The archival clips of Rowling are fleeting, accounting for less than 30 seconds of the nearly two-hour-long show. An HBO spokesperson told the Los Angeles Times that Rowling was invited to do a new interview but that producers felt the previously captured footage was adequate. HBO did not respond to requests for clarification as to whether Rowling declined the interview or filmed a new interview that producers then decided to leave out of the special. The special’s executive producer, Casey Patterson, was not available for comment. Rowling is also namechecked throughout by “Harry Potter” filmmakers and cast members, several of whom have spoken out against Rowling’s transphobic remarks in the past. Spotlighted most heavily in the production, of course, are Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), who have all made statements supporting the trans community in rebuke of Rowling’s comments. “Transgender women are women,” Radcliffe said last year. “Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have

Rowling attends the 2019 RFK Ripple of Hope Awards at New York Hilton Midtown, Dec. 12, 2019. far more expertise on this subject matter than either [Rowling] or I.” “Trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned or told they aren’t who they say they are,” echoed Watson. “I want my trans followers to know that I . . . see you, respect you and love you for who you are.” No mention is made of the Rowling controversy in the special, which first cuts to the British writer around the eight-minute mark, and then again about a minute later. While discussing the challenge of casting the titular boy wizard, Rowling recalls feeling “panicky” because “we just couldn’t find Harry” – until Radcliffe arrived. “It was very emotional, actually, seeing this kid sitting there, talking,” she says. “And I just thought, ‘Yep, that’s him. Thank God we found him.’” Rowling doesn’t show up again until about 19 minutes in to describe the “mind-blowing” experience of walking through Hogwarts’ Great Hall on the set of the first film, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” Her final appearance comes toward the end of the special, which sees cast and creatives reflecting on the lasting legacy of the franchise. “I have found it an extraordinary world to be involved with,” she says. “And it’s a beautiful world.” Though Rowling occupies little screen time over the course of the special, “Jo” does come up in conversations about her creative input on the movies and the cultural impact of the “Harry Potter” books.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER On 1/12/2022 at 9:30 AM, CLEAR RECON CORP, as duly appointed trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust recorded 12/13/2005 as Instrument No. 200500191493 of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Solano County, State of CALIFORNIA executed by: JAMES L.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1161 MAHOGANY COURT, F AIRFIELD, CA 94533-7726 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $512,695.03 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 074754-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: Effective January 1, 2021, 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) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 074754-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.

Street Address or other common designation of real property: 3801 CLAY BANK ROAD FAIRFIELD, CA 94533 Described as follows: As more fully described in the Deed of Trust A.P.N #.: 0167-893-050 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. 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 (855) 976-3916 or visit this Internet Web site www.auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case 17-49502. 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 website tracker.auction.com/sb1079, using the file number assigned to this case 17-49502 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.

Year: Local sports in review for 2021, with highs and lows From Page B1 for things to get better – and the state to give its OK.

Spring sports, but compressed Some community college and all high school sports were able to start in the spring but with compressed schedules – for the most part among league opponents or with non-league contests with schools from adjoining leagues – and no Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs. Solano and the Bay Valley Conference were limited to spring sports since those were the teams that had the majority of their seasons wiped out with the arrival of Covid-19 in 2020.

The Vanden High School girls tennis team won the Sac-Joaquin Section Division III tennis title in Stockton, Nov. 8. During the season, coach Stan Lewis earned his 600th career victory as coach of the Vikings.

Death of Daniel Hughes Vanden High was rocked by the death of multi-sport athlete Daniel Hughes in a shooting incident in April. Hughes was a key member of the Vikings football and basketball teams and was voted the MEL’s Player of the Year at the end of the football season. A decal featuring a crown over Hughes’ No. 9 was on the back of helmets of Vanden’s football players and his memory served as an inspiration on the team’s drive to SJS and state championships.

It was the third SJS tennis championship for Vanden, the other two coming in coed competition in 2004 and 2005. During the season, Stan Lewis earned his 600th career victory as coach of the Vikings, joining Jim Boyd (Vanden boys basketball) and Ron Clarke (Fairfield softball) as the only coaches with 600 career victories in city history.

team reached the SJS Masters tournament for the first time, where, with Noelle Concepcion, Destiny Rose Mendiola and Tristiane Solto, the Mustangs finished third with a score of 405 to qualify for the CIF Northern California Championship. At the NorCal tourney, the Mustangs shot a 446 to finish ninth. Chindavong was Rodriguez’s top finisher, trying for 20th with a 79.

The Fairfield-Suisun School District saw its 10-year Sac-Joaquin Section postseason drought come to an end when

Rodriguez went 7-3 in the regular season and qualified for the SJS Division III playoffs. The Mustangs, led by first-year coach Myles King, a former RHS quarterback, got off to a 6-0 start, best in school history, and gave Christian Brothers a battle before falling 30-16 in the first round. Prior to this season, the last FSUSD team to make the playoffs was Rodriguez in 2011.

Verrett’s season halted by injury Coming off by far his best season in the NFL, Rodriguez graduate Jason Verrett suffered a season-ending knee injury in the San Francisco 49ers’ season opener at Detroit. Before starting 13 games in 2020 where he recorded a career-high 60 tackles, Verrett had had four of his previous five seasons cut short by injuries, including being limited to two games between 2017 and 2019.

Grade 3 sprain of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right thumb, which means the ligament is torn. In addition, when Garoppolo’s ligament tore, it pulled off a piece of bone, causing what’s known as an avulsion fracture. But Shanahan noted Garoppolo’s injury, which includes a non-displaced fracture, doesn’t require immediate surgery and is less severe than a similar injury suffered in 2019 by former New Orleans QB Drew Brees, who missed five games after having surgery to repair a displaced fracture. “Jimmy’s (break) isn’t in that spot,” Shanahan said. “It’s stable. That’s why he doesn’t need surgery right now. And I think he’s feeling a lot better today than he was

a few days ago. That’s why he has a chance (to play) this week. And with it being that case, I’m hoping it only gets better with more time, whether that’s this week or the following week.” Garoppolo also provided his own notes of optimism. He pointed out he didn’t miss a snap after he was injured with about four minutes left in the second quarter of a 20-17 loss to Tennessee last Thursday. “I played the entire game with it basically, so it’s really just about being able to grip the ball and do the things I normally do.” Garoppolo said. “We’re going to go test this out today, see how it feels and go from there. But yeah, I feel confident in it.” Garoppolo, who had a black brace on his right hand when speaking with reporters, was observed

That suggested Garoppolo, who hasn’t thrown a pass since the Tennessee game, didn’t feel comfortable when testing his right thumb.

ticipate in part of practice. “If he can do some, he’ll be limited today,” Shanahan said. “If not, he won’t practice and we’ll try again tomorrow.” The 49ers tacitly acknowledged Garoppolo’s iffy status by signing quarterback Tyler Bray, 30, to the practice squad Wednesday. If Garoppolo is sidelined Sunday, the 49ers will move practicesquad QB Nate Sudfeld to the active roster.

of guards Jordan Poole and Moses Moody, who cleared health and safety protocols in time for Thursday night’s scheduled tip off. Golden State will have to wait, though, after a rash of Nuggets entered health and safety protocols Thursday morning. The Nuggets, who already had eight players ruled out or questionable for their game against Golden State, had their coach, Michael Malone, and three more players enter health and safety protocols Thursday morning, as well as two assistant coaches.

Forwards Jeff Green and Zeke Nnaji and guard Bones Hyland all entered protocols, leaving the Nuggets down a starter and two key reserves. Denver was due to be down three-fifths of its starting lineup and missing more than 30 points in bench scoring. Ultimately, the Nuggets didn’t have enough players available Thursday night, and the Warriors’ next game is in limbo. Golden State is scheduled to travel to Salt Lake City for a showdown on Saturday against the Utah Jazz (25-9).
