President Joe Biden blamed Donald Trump directly for the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol a year ago, saying the former president turned to violence to try to overturn the election he lost. “For the first time in our history, a president not just lost an election, he tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power as a violent mob breached the Capitol,” Biden said in a speech Thursday in the building’s Statuary Hall, commemorating the first anniversary of the insurrection.

The president on Thursday morning will also call on lawmakers to pass voting rights legislation intended to rebut changes sought by Trump loyalists in state governments across the nation that would limit access to absentee voting and strengthen identification requirements. Biden said that after Trump “rallied the mob to attack” the Capitol, he sat “in the private dining room off the Oval office in the White House, watching it all on television and doing nothing for hours as police were assaulted, See Biden, Page A9

VACAVILLE — Reps. John Garamendi and Mike Thompson held a joint press conference Thursday just off of Interstate 505 at the Vaca Valley Parkway, where $16 million in infrastructure improvements are planned to aid the area in the coming years. The Interstate 505/Vaca Valley Parkway Corridor MultiModal Improvements Project is in place to ease the movement of goods from industrial and manufacturing centers, improve safety and promote environmental sustainability, according to project officials. The area has increasingly become a busy center for housing, biotech, manufacturing and agriculture. Crashes and long traffic congestion has become the norm on the overpass. The access has also been poor for the everincreasing number of trucks trying to make turns onto the parkway. The press conference featured both of Solano County’s congressional representatives, members of the Solano County Board of

Judge tosses DA’s lawsuit against county on ‘Brown Act violation’ Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Solano County Superior Court Judge Christine Carringer has dismissed a lawsuit against the county in which District Attorney Krishna Abrams claimed the Board of Supervisors had violated state open meeting laws when it shifted financial oversight for the Family Justice Center from her control to the county administrator’s office. Abrams claimed the county failed to properly notice the issue prior to discussing and taking action during the budget hearing in June.

The county denied that position, arguing that the budget hearing is held specifically to address all budgetary issues. The oversight is specifically for the $721,000 in general fund contributions the county gives to the Family Justice Center. However, the issue of whether there was an actual violation of the Ralph M. Brown Act was never settled in court. Instead, Carringer ruled that the issue became moot when the Board of Supervisors on Dec. 14 affirmed its previous decision and that the December agenda had clearly indicated the issue was up for

consideration. It served, in essence, as a “cure and correct” of the previous vote. But County Counsel Bernadette Curry, while agreeing with the ABRAMS spirit of the court decision, said the later action was not a formal “cure and correct” as defined for open meeting procedures. She still holds the county did not violate the Brown Act. Paul Sequeira, the chief deputy district attorney, said the office is ready to move forward. “We are on board with assisting the county in any way we can on

the transitioning of the Family Justice Center,” Sequeira said. That transition comes in the wake of, first, a critical grand jury report, and, second, an independent review of the center by the Alliance of Hope International. Casey Gwinn, the president and co-founder of the group, told the board that the Solano County center does not come close to meeting the alliance’s standards of what a family justice center is, nor does it comply with the state’s See Lawsuit, Page A9

LOS ANGELES — As students return from winter break, schools across California are struggling to stay open amid severe staffing shortages, high student absences and increased infection rates as the omicron variant surge continues to sweep through the region. The San Gabriel school system has shut down a middle school and high school for Thursday and Friday. The Redondo Beach district is handing out rapid-results tests to families as fast as it can.

Montebello Unified is scrambling to find tests and faces a critical shortage of substitute teachers to fill in for sick staff. Los Angeles Unified, the nation’s second-largest school system, is having its second, closed-session emergency Board of Education meeting of the week as it prepares for opening on Monday.

Street restaurant, was arrested for running a “disorderly house.” In the article, Fairfield police believed it was the first such arrest in the city’s history. Now “running a disorderly house” was not like when Michael Keaton’s character in the movie “Mr. Mom” fed a baby chili and dueled with the vacuum cleaner. It is what you think it is. Marie Nine was charged with a 1913 statute which made it a misdemeanor to conduct “any disorderly house or any house for the purpose of assignation or prostitution or any house of public resort, by which the peace, comfort or decency of the immediate neighborhood is habitually disturbed.” The rented house in question was located at 401 Missouri St. and police had received numerous complaints about late night noise and traffic there. Fairfield Police Capt. Vern Coppock said the house had been kept under observation for six months. Marie Nine pleaded innocent

to the charges before Suisun Justice Court Judge Georgia Crowley and was released on $1,000 bail. Before she could have her day in court, she was busted for drunken driving in Suisun and ordered to pay a $276 fine. She eventually was sentenced to 30 days in jail on the disorderly house charge. The Daily Republic reporter or reporters who covered the story were most likely male as instead of just sticking to the facts, Marie Nine was alternately described as “attractive,” “raven-haired” and “perky.” A.C.

More in-home testing means underreported case data, but critical outcomes still tracking Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Public Health Division on Wednesday reported 838 new coronavirus cases since its last update – just under 600 of those over the past two days – and the surge is still on the rise. “We have not peaked yet,” Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said in a phone interview. It takes the pandemic total to MATYAS 51,445, which is likely underreported due to the growing number of in-home tests being used, the outcomes of which are not required to be reported. Additionally, a number of smaller federally funded testing sites have opened in the county and they, too, do not report to the county, Matyas said. He estimates there could be 5% to 10% more cases in the county. But Matyas said he is not particularly worried about the majority of those test results since the individuals would be accounted for if they had become ill enough to go to a hospital. For his office, tracking the bad outcomes from the disease is far more important than just following the total cases.

The number of residents who were hospitalized Wednesday with Covid-19 was up to 69 with 12 patients in intensive care units. There were 57 hospitalizations Monday, also with 12 in the ICU, the county reported. Matyas also noted there are 13 small outbreaks in long-term care facilities, nine with staff positives only. “In about half of them there is a positive patient,” said Matyas, noting those individuals were infected by either a staff member or by a family member or friend who was visiting the center. The county reported one more Covid-related death: a man between 50 and 65, unvaccinated, and living at home. He had significant health issues dating back a couple of decades. The 10-day daily case average was 270.8 Wednesday, up from 201.7. Vallejo, with 338 new cases, climbed to 15,334 cases, while Fairfield is at 13,614 after 211 new cases, the county records state. Vacaville added 162 cases for a pandemic total of 13,416. Suisun City (3,597) added 49 new coronavirus cases; Dixon (2,792) added 29; Benicia (1,855)

Matyas said he is not surprised to see case numbers rise because of the transmissibility of the omicron variant, but again noted the case rate far exceeds the increases in deaths and hospitalizations. That is due, in part, to the nature of the variant, but also the high vaccination rates in the county, with 78.5% of those 5 or older having received at least one shot and 69% having been

Obituaries Patricia Galli

Aug. 19, 1950 — Dec. 21, 2021

Patricia Galli entered into eternal rest on Dec. 21, 2021, in Fairfield, California. Born Aug. 15, 1950, in Alameda, California, to Isabel and Theodore Garcia, she was 71 years old and a lifelong Bay Area resident. Patricia grew up in Fremont, California, and attended Mission San Jose High School as the first four-year class to graduate from that school, in 1968. At MSJHS she was a member of the tennis team, volleyball team and the cheerleading squad. While in high school, she met her soon-to-be sweetheart Albert, marrying him in 1969. Soon after the wedding, Albert was stationed in West Germany, and back in Fremont Patricia gave birth to their first son Michael. Returning from the Army, Albert and Patricia moved to Hayward and San Leandro, where Peter was born. The family moved to Fremont for a short time, before settling in Fairfield. Patricia was an enthusiastic participant in everything she did. After moving to Fairfield she became a room mother for Michael’s fourth-grade class. A year later, the school district hired her as an Instructional Aide. Initially Patricia worked in elementary classrooms with gifted students. She attended many training courses and conferences to expand her skills in education. Patricia began working in K-2 special needs classes and constantly pushed herself to learn more to provide the best education she could give. Patricia retired after more than 35 years of service with the school district. For many of those years she was an active member of the CSEA local in Fairfield, taking on roles of secretary and other vital duties. Outside of work, she was a member of the Sons & Daughters of Italy, often working with the kitchen crew for dinners, playing cards with lodge brothers and sisters, as well as helping with the Christmas fundraiser and scholarship programs. Patricia is survived by her son, Michael Galli and wife, Carol; son, Peter Galli; grandchild, Johnathan Galli; and many cousins, godchildren, nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 8, 2022, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 43148 Mission Blvd., Fremont. Due to Covid restrictions, there will not be a reception immediately afterward. In lieu of flowers, donations in her remembrance may be made to Hanna Boys Center, a teen residential treatment center in Sonoma, California, with an on-campus accredited high school, Archbishop Hanna High School, serving eighth- through 12th-grade students with at-risk youth programs.

Bay Area air district guarantees financial support to Irvine firm for EV program Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — A $2.5 million loan guarantee has been awarded to Irvine-based EvGateway to advance the use of electric vehicles in the Bay Area. The loan guarantee supports EvGateway’s installations of direct current and alternate current electric vehicle chargers that will be installed at hotels and commercial sites from the Bay Area to San Diego. EvGateway estimates the project will reduce carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by 7,000 metric tons each year, according to a press release from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. Tamara Kohne, the project lead for the air district, said about 350 chargers will be installed over five years, with 40% of those in the Bay Area. Until specific projects are identified, it was not known if Solano County would receive any chargers. “Transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the Bay Area and accelerating electric vehicle adoption is a key strategy to reducing those emissions,” Jack Broadbent, executive officer of the air district, said in a statement announcing the loan. “This project will encourage broader EV ownership by streamlining charging for both the consumer and operator while helping to further

In essence, the guarantee was used to help secure that line of credit. According to the air district statement, EvGateway has developed “a software portfolio which enables operators of electric vehicle chargers to manage and operate their chargers. The software also allows consumers to locate and reserve available chargers, see amenities available at the chargers, view charging rates and pay for their vehicle charging.” “The core value of the Climate Tech Finance is to support innovative

climate projects and the air district’s greenhouse gas analysis ensures that new technologies will reduce short- and longterm greenhouse gas emissions,” the district statement said. This is the third project under the air district’s Climate Tech Finance program, a team from which worked through the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank and the Northern California Financial Development Corporation to secure the financing. “IBank, part of the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development, is proud to help companies like EvGateway speed up the adoption and use of electric vehicles,” Scott Wu, executive director of IBank, said in the air district release. “We look forward to bring-

ing more climate-finance opportunities . . . to companies throughout the state that are working to help California meet its greenhouse gas reduction and environmental protection goals.” The air district covers all or parts of the nine Bay Area counties, to include the Fairfield and Vallejo areas of Solano County. The district board took the action despite so much of the project not specifically being in the Bay Area. “As we all know, air travels,” said Tamara Kohne, project lead for the Climate Tech Finance program at the air district. “As long as we have some benefits in the Bay Area . . . it satisfies our requirements.” Kohne also noted that Bay Area residents travel, so they will get added benefits in those areas.

Bay Area bridges tolls go up, penalties fall for FasTrak violations Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VALLEJO — The initial penalty for not paying bridge tolls through the FasTrak system has gone from $25 to $5 and the second violation fee goes from $70 to $15, the Bay Area Toll Authority announced Wednesday. However, the cost of the tolls went up $1 with the start of the new year, with another $1 increase set for Jan. 1, 2025. They are part of the Regional Measure 3 toll increases, the first of which went into effect in 2019. Tolls for two-axle cars and trucks, and for motorcycles on the Benicia-Martinez, Carquinez, San Francisco-Oakland Bay, Antioch, Dumbarton, Richmond-San Rafael and San Mateo-Hayward bridges rose to $7. Tolls for vehicles with three axles went to $17; with four axles to $22; to $27 for five axles; $32 for six axles; and $37 for combinations with seven or more axles. “Effective immediately – and retroactive to all violation notices since Jan. 1, 2021, for outstanding tolls at the San Francisco-Oakland Bay, Antioch, Benicia-Martinez, Car-

Other policy changes that go into effect this spring include “dropping the cost of the FasTrak toll tag deposit for new customers who choose not to link their account to a credit card to $5 from the previous $20; crediting $15 to the prepaid toll accounts of existing customers who paid a $20 tag deposit; reducing the minimum opening balance for a FasTrak

account for customers who pay with cash or check to $25 from the previous $50; and eliminating transaction fees for customers who replenish FasTrak accounts or pay violation penalties at a cash network location.” FasTrak customers account for about 75% of all crossings at the Bay Area’s state-owned toll bridges. New FasTrak accounts can be opened at www. bayareafastrak.org or by calling at 1-877229-8655 (BAY-TOLL). Customers also may obtain FasTrak tags at select Costco and Walgreens stores.

on holding those who decide to drive impaired accountable for their dangerous actions.” The prosecution team will also partner with the statewide Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor Training Program “to provide training to other prosecutors and investigators, as well as collaborate with law enforcement agencies on best practices handling and managing driving under the influence cases,” according to the statement This is the 10th year the District Attorney’s Office has received funding for the prosecution program.

Solano ag officials monitor treated area of glassy-winged sharpshooter Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VACAVILLE — The infested area of Vacaville with the glassy-winged sharpshooter has been treated once, and county and state agriculture officials continue to monitor the area with plans for additional treatments later this month and in the spring. “The state issued an emergency in November . . . declaring it as an infested area. So, in effect, we do have a quarantine, but there are no businesses or nurseries (or ag operations of concern) within that area,” Solano County Agriculture Commissioner Ed King said Thursday during a phone interview. The pest is not active during the current colder temperatures, King said. The primary concern of an infestation by the sharpshooter is that the insect can transmit Pierce’s disease, which can kill grapevines. However, the insect is known to feed off 70 plant species, among them citrus trees, almonds, stone fruit and oleanders, according to published sources. That is not a current issue in the county, which has 4,000 acres of wine grapes in production. The 2020 gross value of the crop was $20.2 million, making it the seventhlargest crop in Solano. The area of concern has hundreds of parcels in the mostly residential area of Browns Valley Road and Centennial Park area of Vacaville. However, the quarantine area extends around

A virtual meeting to update residents of the area is scheduled Jan. 26. The county’s response to this latest pest infestation was recognized by

the administration this week as one of the accomplishments of 2021. But the sharpshooter may not be the only threat to the grape growers – at least not the only one on the agriculture watchlist. The spotted lanternfly also is under close watch, particularly in the east and northeast parts of the country, but isolated dead individual pests have been found in cargo holds and with travelers coming into California, King said. The spotted lanternfly is indigenous to parts

of China and India but has spread invasively to the U.S., Japan and South Korea. Its host plants include grapes, stone fruits and deciduous tree and shrub species such as the domesticated apple, published reports state. Another concern is the Egyptian boomrape, an invasive plant, which is of particular concern to the county’s $38.1 million (2020) processing tomato crop – the highest-gross valued crop in Solano County.

Senate OKs 4 Dodd bills as he introduces 2 more this week Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The state Senate approved four bills Thursday from Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, while he also introduced two new bills this week. “From encouraging conservation to getting support for those facing student hunger, we are rolling up our sleeves for the people of this state,” Dodd said in a press release. “There is still much work to be done but I’m happy to say we’re off to a good start.” Each of the bills has been approved by Senate committees and moves on to the Assembly for consideration. They are: n Senate Bill 20 Student Hunger: Improves system for getting Cal Fresh food aid to low-income college students, ensuring the

underserved population has adequate nutrition. n Senate Bill 216 Worker Protection: Ensures contractors comply with California’s workers’ compensation laws to safeguard employees with on-the-job injury. n Senate Bill 370 Sustainable Habitats: Conserves and restores big game habitats through public-private partnerships with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. n Senate Bill 717 Rehabilitation Equipment: Improves access to custom rehabilitation equipment for people with medical conditions or disabilities. Dodd announced Wednesday he has introduced legislation authorizing the remote sensing of water diversions, creating more accurate measure-

ment of available resources and encouraging the most efficient use of water possible. “Climate change means Californians must continue to remain vigilant DODD about our water use,” Dodd said in the press release. “This bill takes a big step in that direction by helping us more accurately track where this vital resource is going and empowering us to chart a more sustainable water future. It’s a commonsense measure that will help ensure we have water for generations to come.” Dodd previously wrote laws related to the Open and Transparent Water Data Act and to reinvigorate the state’s stream gage program to measure in-stream flows.

This latest proposal, Senate Bill 832, would authorize the California Department of Water Resources to allow remote sensing technology to measure diversions from major water users including agriculture and municipal water districts. Information would be reported to the California Water Resources Board. Dodd on Tuesday introduced a bill to help California reduce its reliance on carbon-emitting generators during disaster-driven power outages by empowering local governments to more strategically plan for the use of clean, distributed energy resources, with a priority on low-income communities.

Much relies on your ability to correctly read subtle cues. You’ll be brilliant at this now. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Success depends on doing what people care about, talking about what people are interested in and generally thinking of others. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Moods come and go. You prefer

by Phillip Alder However, Edgar Kaplan’s 4C’s evaluation method – Caution, Complex Computer Count – rates the South hand at only 13.45 points. He really dislikes unguarded queens. (Switch the spade jack and the club six, and the hand’s value jumps to 14.15.) In contrast, the North hand, held by Thomas Bessis, is rated at 12.55, giving the partnership a combined 26 points. West led an attitude club four, saying that he had strong clubs, but giving no count in the suit. Lorenzini won with his queen over East’s jack, cashed the diamond ace and led his second diamond, getting the bad news when West discarded a low heart. After a considerable timeout, declarer won with dummy’s king, cashed the heart ace and played a heart to his king. With eight winners (one spade, four hearts, two diamonds and one club), Lorenzini needed another black-suit trick. With both that in mind and to break the communication between the defenders, South led the club 10. West won with his king and cashed the club nine to tell East what was happening in that suit, but then he had to shift to a spade. Lorenzini won East’s queen with the ace, cashed his heart winners ending on the board and, in desperation, played a spade to his jack. COPYRIGHT: 2022, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

Grammy Awards postponed again because of Covid-19 Tribune Content Agency The Grammy Awards have been postponed because of the surging omicron Covid-19 variant. The 64th edition of the music industry’s most prestigious – and sometimes most contentious – annual awards show had been scheduled to take place Jan. 31 at Los Angeles’ newly named Crypto. com Arena. (Until December, the venue had been known as Staples Center.) On Wednesday morning, the Recording Academy – under whose auspices the Grammys are presented – and CBS TV announced the postponement in a joint statement.

“After careful consideration and analysis with city and state officials, health and safety experts, the artist community and our many partners, the Recording Academy and CBS have postponed the 64th Annual Grammy Awards show,” the statement said. “The health and safety of those in our music community, the live audience, and the hundreds of people who work tirelessly to produce our show remains our top priority. Given the uncertainty surrounding the Omicron variant, holding the show on January 31 simply contains too many risks. We look forward to celebrating ‘Music’s Biggest Night’ on a future date, which will be announced soon.”

VACAVILLE — The city is accepting applications from residents interested in serving on the Planning and Parks and Recreation commissions. The commissions are advisory groups to the City Council. Commissions help obtain resident input by gathering, analyzing and discussing information, and determining the community’s sentiment

on a variety of topics, to ultimately providing recommendations to the council for action. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and reside within the incorporated limits of Vacaville. Commissioners serve twoyear, staggered terms. There are seven openings, two-year appointments for Districts 2, 4 and 6 and one-year appointments for Districts 1, 3 and 5. Applications are available at the city’s website, ci.vacaville.ca.us.

Planning Commission members review new development projects and make recommendations on city planning issues. A formal land-use planning education is not required, but members are expected to become familiar with the city’s General Plan, zoning ordinance and legislation that affects planning. The Planning Commission meets at 6 p.m. the third Tuesday of the month, and at other times as announced (including

the first Tuesday of the month, if needed). The Parks and Recreation Commission advises the council on recreation and cultural arts activities. The panel meets at 6 p.m. the first Wednesday of each month. To be considered for appointment for an expiring term, applications must be received no later than 5:30 p.m. Feb. 4.

Bogdanovich, director of ’70s classics Dodd such as ‘Last Picture Show,’ dies at 82 From Page A5

Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — Peter Bogdanovich, the revered director of touchstone 1970s films such as “The Last Picture Show,” “What’s Up, Doc?” and “Paper Moon,” died Thursday at his Los Angeles home. He was 82. Oren Segal, the twotime Oscar nominee’s manager, confirmed Bogdanovich’s death from natural causes. “Movies used to be something powerful,” Bogdanovich told the Los Angeles Times in 2015. “It’s been a bit ruined now. I don’t know if we can get it back – I think we can. But it’s lost its innocence. The interesting stuff has moved to TV, and movies have become more like, ‘What can I blow up next?’ There’s a terrible cancer at the heart of that.” “The Last Picture

It also earned two trophies – supporting

actor and actress – for Ben Johnson and Cloris Leachman, respectively, plus another four nominations. Among them was a best picture nomination. “My heart is broken – my dear friend Peter is no longer with us in the phys-

ical form,” actor Jeff Bridges, who starred in “The Last Picture Show” and “Texasville,” wrote Thursday on social media. “I loved him and will miss him. What a wonderful artist. He’s left us with the gift of his incredible films and his insights on the filmmakers he so admired. I love you Peter.” “Peter always made me laugh!,” Barbra Streisand, star of “What’s Up, Doc?,” wrote Thursday. “He’ll keep making them laugh up there too. May he rest in peace.” The filmmaker is survived by two daughters, Sashy and Antonia, from his marriage to Platt.

“Not only have recent power outages cost California billions of dollars, but emissions from backup generators have exacted a steep toll on our environment,” Dodd said in the press release. “I want to prioritize development of clean energy sources, especially in low-income communities, so we minimize the environmental threat and keep the lights on for everyone.” Senate Bill 833, the Community Energy Resilience Act, calls for the creation of a technical assistance and grant program administered by the California Energy Commission to help local governments develop clean energy resilience plans, leveraging the

related spending that has already been made by the commission. SB 833 enables local governments to collaborate with utilities in planning community-scale energy infrastructure such as solar panels and battery storage so communities are deciding what facilities remain energized during a crisis. Plans are a prerequisite for attracting private and public investments in community energy resilience projects, which Dodd said in the press release are particularly important in light of the recently passed federal infrastructure package. Dodd currently represents the 3rd Senate District, which includes all of Solano County and all or portions of Yolo, Napa, Sonoma, Contra Costa and Sacramento counties.

improved infrastructure like this was the Solano Water Project and the building of the dam at Lake Berryessa. “We have some very forward-thinking people in our community and in our leaders who are looking at an investment for the future,” Mashburn said. “This investment in our future is impactful and that will allow our county to grow, and grow appropriately.” Thompson, D-St. Helena, also touted the impact of the entire “Infrastructure and Job Act.” The $1.2 trillion legislation is estimated to create 2 million jobs a year for the next 10 years. “This is the most important piece of infrastructure legislation to pass the Congress and be signed into law in any of our lifetimes,” Thompson said. “This is equal with the interstate legislation of the Eisenhower administration that linked everything across the nation. This is a major investment.” Thompson said California is expected to benefit from $30 billion of the legislation with $4 billion going to bridges, $10 billion to transit and $385 million for electric vehicle charging stations, with other money going to wildfire mitigation and the expansion of broadband. “This is important for our quality of life and from a jobs perspective,” Thompson said. “John and I were both at the White House when the president signed this into law.”

I want to reach out to the city and thank them for their vision.” Proposed improvements include three roundabouts on Vaca Valley Parkway to promote continuous moving traffic and a separate bicycle/ pedestrian bridge that will connect the east and west sides of I-505. The city estimates that the corridor improvement has the potential to stimulate more than 6 million square feet of new business development, pave a way for 1,250 new homes, have the potential to create more than 10,000 jobs and generate in excess of $3 million in annual tax revenue. Shovels should go in the ground on the project in the fall of 2023 with estimated completion by the spring of 2025. “We have gone from the Lincoln Highway to Highway 40 to Interstate 80 and to Interstate 505, Highways 113, 12, 37 and Interstate 780 and 680,” Solano County Supervisor John Vasquez said. “This project is important for growth and for the overall well-being of Solano County.

From Page One lives at risk, the nation’s capitol under siege.” The speech is part of a day of commemoration, featuring remarks by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, along with other Democrats, and discussions about democracy. Trump canceled a press conference originally scheduled for Thursday at his Palm Beach, Florida, estate at the urging of allies. Vice President Kamala Harris said at the Capitol Thursday, ahead of Biden’s remarks, that American democracy remains at risk. “On January 6th, we all saw what our nation would look like if the forces who seek to dismantle our democracy are successful. The lawlessness, the violence, the chaos,” she said. “What was at stake then, and now, is the right to have our future decided the way the constitution describes it.” She applauded lawmakers for returning to the Capitol after the riot to finish counting electoral college votes, certifying Biden’s victory. “Their resolve – not to yield, but to certify the election – their loyalty, not to party or person, but to the Constitution of the United States; that reflects its strength,” she said. Biden’s address from a location that was swarmed a year ago by Trump supporters seeking to block certification of his election is a rhetorical opportunity to reorient his presidency away from the resur-

Biden, who has seldom mentioned his predecessor by name since taking office, intends to focus on bigger themes, such as the “battle for the soul of the nation” that he described on the campaign trail. It’ll be crucial for Biden to recapture political momentum and support from moderate voters horrified by the harsh partisanship and extremist rhetoric that crested on Jan. 6. The new year will be politically decisive with midterm elections approaching and lawmakers weighing his signature domestic legislative tax and spending plan. The simplest way for Biden to reverse his sagging approval ratings may be to re-engage with Trump as a political foil. The president’s approval fell to just 40% of Americans in a USA Today/ Suffolk poll released last week, driven by independents who have soured on

his performance. The president and other Democratic leaders are particularly hopeful the anniversary could bolster the prospects for their voting rights bill. Biden plans to continue his push for the legislation with a speech Tuesday in Atlanta. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has said he would try again to pass the measure in coming days, and push for changes to the Senate rules that would make it easier to overcome Republican opposition if GOP lawmakers use filibuster procedures to halt passage. But administration officials have also said Biden was personally offended by both the role Trump played in encouraging supporters who then marched on the Capitol, and the subsequent attempts by Republican lawmakers to downplay or sidestep the events of that day. Biden will use the occasion to issue a dire warning

Schools

teaching staff, spokesman Fermin Leal said. Like so many other school districts throughout the state, administrators are taking on the role of substitute teacher. “We’re having our administrators, our principals, whoever has a teaching credential on staff to kind of fill in as best they can,” Leal said. “It is quite a challenge.” Several teachers at home in quarantine or isolation – with no or minor symptoms – are conducting class remotely as their students watch on a big screen in their classrooms, while another staff member assists in person. So far, the district has not had to close down schools, Leal said. When asked what he immediately needed most, Redondo Beach Superintendent Steven Keller replied: “A little more grace from everyone right now.” He added: “Despite the stress of the surge, our students and staff are happy to be starting the new year in person and are showing tremendous flexibly and resilience in

adhering to all protocols.” Even so, the number of infections appears to have risen fast in Redondo Beach, a common theme across schools, reflecting high overall positivity rates. The district on Thursday was handing out test kits to families that had been provided by the state of California and then distributed through counties. But not all districts have received the test kits, including Montebello Unified–thecounty’sthirdlargest school system with about 24,000 students – where classes are scheduled to start next week. Montebello Interim Superintendent Mark Skvarna said he is scrambling to find tests wherever he can, including by calling cities the school system serves. His district normally relies on a workforce of about 250 regular substitutes. That number is down to 60 – on paper. Skvarna worries that half that number are actually available. Other districts face similar staffing short-

ages and are relying on administrators and other out-of-class personnel to cover classes. An alert about trouble ahead went out quickly in the San Gabriel school system. “As students have returned from winter break, there has been a significant uptick in the number of students testing positive for Covid-19 at Gabrielino High School and Jefferson Middle School,” Superintendent Jim Symonds wrote in a posted message to parents. “The number of cases at these sites is indicative of outbreak conditions.” The local school board opted to close those two schools while keeping others open. For the affected students, the shutdown is total. There will be no instruction for the remainder of the week. Officials will work out how to make up the lost instructional hours. In the meantime, there will be contact tracing, heightened sanitation and teachers will “plan lessons and contingency plans for the coming weeks.” Students at both schools have been provided with rapid-results test kits: “Students are expected to test before returning to school on Monday, January 10th . . . Students and staff who test positive MUST remain home (and) report the positive test result.” Los Angeles Unified officials decided this week to require a negative test as a condition for a return to campus. Testing sites are open all week and, for the most part, parents have reported few problems getting in and out.

desperate for services in Solano County.” Abrams has defended the work of the center and its director, Angel Aguilar. The board had made its budget decision based largely on the civil grand jury’s report and then hired Alliance of Hope to do the assessment of

the center. The group came back with 21 recommendations, including the development of a comprehensive strategic plan with the creation of “a county working group in the interim to navigate and manage the day to day at the center.” The board directed

staff to come back with a request for proposals to find a new lead agency, a recommendation high on the Alliance of Hope list. The county had also filed a motion to disqualify the District Attorney’s Office from the lawsuit proceedings due to a conflict of interest. Carringer rejected the motion.

From Page One rest of this week because too many of its staff members have tested positive for a coronavirus infection. And Cathedral Catholic High in Carmel Valley postponed its first day of school from Thursday to Monday because many students and staff tested positive at on-campus testing conducted this week. In San Francisco, a group of teachers refused to wait for a positive test result – or to see if district safety practices are sufficient. They announced plans for a sickout. That district’s teachers union has not endorsed the job action but has criticized district safety measures. Across L.A. County, 50 of 80 school systems reopened this week after winter break. The vast majority appear to be staying open, but nothing is coming easy as infection rates reach their highest level yet during the Covid-19 pandemic. To date, the rate of serious illness and death has not approached the peak of last winter’s surge, but health officials are worried about rising hospital admissions. Every confirmed infection means a five- to 10-day isolation period, straining school staff and disrupting students’ education – and elevating anxiety among educators and parents. At the Santa Ana Unified School District, 324 teachers are in quarantine or have called in sick, representing about 10% of

Russia-led bloc to send troops to Kazakhstan amid protests Tribune Content Agency Russia and its allies sent troops to help quell protests in Kazakhstan that posed the biggest threat to the central Asian country’s leadership since it gained independence in 1991. Dozens of anti-government protesters were killed by security forces and hundreds wounded, authorities said Thursday, after President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev announced an “anti-terrorist operation” to put down the demonstrations. He imposed a state of emergency nationwide and internet access was cut in much of the country. Thousands of protesters had taken to the streets around the country in recent days, seizing government buildings and killing at least a dozen law-enforcement officials after fuel-price rises unleashed a wave of popular anger over falling living standards. Sending what Russia and the handful of other members of the Collective Security Treaty Organization called “peacekeeping forces” was a dramatic move by the Kremlinled bloc and the first time it intervened to shore up a longtime ally in the region in the face of public protests. There was no immediate word on the size of the deployment, which followed reports of Kazakh security forces surrendering to demonstrators and a late-night appeal from Tokayev. Prices for uranium surged almost 8% amid the unrest in the world’s largest supplier of the nuclear fuel. Kazakh bonds and the tenge slipped. There was no sign

A frame grab taken Thursday from an AFPTV video made Wednesday shows protesters clashing with Kazakstan’s security forces during a demonstration in Almaty as unprecedented unrest in the Central Asian nation spins out of control due to a hike in energy prices. of disruption to oil output, the central Asia’s country biggest export, however. Kazakhstan’s central bank suspended operations of the nation’s banks and the stock exchange, according to spokesman Olzhas Ramazanov. For now, the halt is planned only for Thursday, he said. Tokayev ordered price controls on key fuels and banned exports of some farm products for 180 days to stem inflation, Interfax reported. With the internet and other communications disrupted, it was difficult to get a clear picture of how successful the authorities’ overnight crackdown was in pushing back the demonstrators. Russia’s state-run Tass news agency published video of heavily armed troops in Almaty, the country’s former capital and largest city, firing automatic weapons. Authorities had regained control of the

airport there, but it and two others remained closed Thursday, state TV reported. Neither the CSTO nor Tokayev’s government indicated what outside forces they blamed for the violence, which appeared to have started spontaneously. Russia’s Foreign Ministry said Thursday that the unrest was “an attempt inspired from outside to violently undermine the security and integrity of the state with the use of organized and trained armed units.” It didn’t identify the outside forces, but a senior legislator blamed terrorist groups from Afghanistan and the Middle East. He didn’t provide any evidence for his claim. The CSTO is dominated by Russia and also includes Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. The action marks the second major move by

the Kremlin in as many years to shore up an ally facing upheaval. In 2020, President Vladimir Putin stepped in to back Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko’s crackdown on popular protests, which drew sanctions from the U.S. and its allies. The Russian leader now is involved in high-stakes negotiations with the U.S. and Europe over a simmering conflict regarding Ukraine. Russia expects the Kazakh deployment to end quickly, according to a senior legislator. “I think it will end in a few weeks, not months,” Leonid Kalashnikov, chairman of the committee in the State Duma responsible for relations with other exSoviet states, said in a telephone interview. “This mission will in large part determine the fate of the CSTO,” he said.

A “very rare” case of bird flu was diagnosed in a person in southwest England, the U.K. Health Security Agency said Thursday. The person had been in close contact with infected birds, and human-to-human transmission was neither suspected nor expected. In fact, the bird flu is difficult to contract, the agency implied. “The person acquired the infection from very close, regular contact with a large number of infected birds, which they kept in and around their home over a prolonged period of time,” the agency said in a statement. “All contacts of the individual, including those who visited the premises, have been

traced and there is no evidence of onward spread of the infection to anyone else. The individual is currently well and self-isolating.” The bird flu virus, H5N1, rarely infects humans, according to the Mayo Clinic and numerous other medical experts, and human-tohuman transmission is rarer still. The U.K. Health Security Agency emphasized that “people should not touch sick or dead birds.” England is in the grip of its largest outbreak ever of H5N1 virus, which causes most cases of bird flu. England has reported 63 cases confirmed since November, and at least a million birds have been culled, mostly at poultry farms, BBC News reported Wednesday.

Without Curry or Green, W’s come up just short Tribune Content Agency It’s no secret the importance of Steph Curry to the Warriors’ offense. No denying Draymond Green is a distributor, facilitator and defensive maven. When one is in a purple T-shirt and the other in a track suit, it’s never more apparent. Next to them, Klay Thompson sat and watched and thought about the next time he would be on the court, playing alongside them. It

will happen within weeks, maybe days. But Thursday night in New Orleans, all the three of them could do was sit and watch a 101-96 loss. Faced with at least one more game before their title-winning trio is together again, the Warriors lost their second straight for the first time since last season. Without Curry (bruised quad) and Green (sore hip), they reinserted Jordan Poole to the starting lineup and relied on Andrew Wiggins’

continued resurgence. Wiggins, as aggressive as ever, led the way with 21 points. But 49 points off the bench, led by 13 from Jonathan Kuminga and 12 from Damion Lee, couldn’t make up for a team missing two of its top three scoring threats: Curry, who was sitting out, and Poole, who went silent. An exciting sequence from Kuminga at the end gave the Warriors a brief glimmer of hope, but they never regained

the lead they lost in the final moments of the third quarter. Golden State led 70-67 with 1:20 left until the end of the quarter after Moses Moody earned a pair of free throws. But the Pelicans responded with three quick baskets that kicked off a 20-8 run that flipped the score to 87-78 by the 8:33 mark of the fourth quarter and decided the game. It took New Orleans, the second-worst team in the Western Conference,

two stretches to erase an 11-point lead the Warriors built in the first half. New Orleans may have started the season 1-12, but it has now split its past 26 games. Wiggins scored the Warriors’ final three baskets of the first half. But more than 3 minutes separated the final two, during a stretch the Warriors let an 11-point first-half lead slip away. New Orleans mounted a 21-9 run in the final 6:37 of the first half,

including a 9-0 stretch between Wiggins buckets, to take a 47-46 lead into intermission. Otto Porter Jr. got the start in Green’s place and gave the Warriors their first 3-pointer after missing their first five, igniting a burst of two more from Wiggins and Nemanja Bjelica. The Warriors’ 0-for-5 start proved a better indication of what was to come than the brief barrage See W’s, Page B2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown on the field against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium,

Sunday, in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Bucs released Brown after he walked off the field during Sunday’s game.

Buccaneers release wide receiver Antonio Brown Tribune Content Agency TAMPA, Fla. — Bruce Arians is finally right. Antonio Brown is no longer a Buc. The team announced Thursday that it has released the wide receiver, who accused it of forcing him to play hurt in Sunday’s win over the New York Jets in East Rutherford, N.J. “The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have terminated the contract of Antonio Brown, effective immediately,” the Bucs said in a statement Thursday. “While Antonio did receive treatment on his ankle and was listed on the injury report the

week leading up to last Sunday’s game, he was cleared to play by our medical team prior to the start of the game and at no point during the game did he indicate to our medical personnel that he could not play. We have attempted, multiple times throughout this week, to schedule an evaluation by an outside orthopedic specialist, yet Antonio has not complied. Maintaining the health and wellness of our players is of the utmost importance to our organization.” Brown had a sideline exchange with Arians in the third quarter of Sunday’s game during which Brown refused to

play, Arians said. Brown reacted by pulling off his shoulder pads and jersey, tearing off his undershirt and gloves and throwing them into the seats at MetLife Stadium before leaving the field. Arians addressed Brown’s release following Thursday’s practice. “At no point in time during that game did he ever ask the trainer or doctor about his ankle,” Arians said. “That’s the normal protocol. We go through protocols during games. I was never notified of it. Obviously, that was a disturbing thing when we were looking for him to go back in the game.

“He was very upset at halftime about who was getting targeted (with passes). We got that calmed down, players took care of that. It started again on the sideline. We called for the personnel group that he had played in the entire game. He refused to go in the game. That’s when I went back and saw him wave off the coach. “I then went back and approached him about focusing. . . . (He said,) ‘I ain’t playing.’ ‘What’s going on?’ ‘I ain’t getting the ball.’ That’s when I said to him, ‘You’re done. Get the eff out of here.’ See Brown, Page B2

Big first period helps power Sharks past Buffalo Sabres, 3-2 Tribune Content Agency Forward Tomas Hertl had a goal and an assist and goalie Adin Hill made 36 saves as the Sharks used a strong first period to beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 on Thursday night at KeyBank Center. Matt Nieto and Timo Meier also scored in the first and the Sharks went 3-for-4 on the penalty kill to help earn their first win on this four-game road trip that wraps up Saturday in Philadelphia. The Sharks lost 8-5 to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday and 6-2 to the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday. Despite those unsightly losses, the Sharks (18-16-1) are now just two points back of the Edmonton Oilers for the second and final wildcard playoff spot in the Western

Conference. The Winnipeg Jets and Los Angeles Kings each entered Thursday with 37 points. Hill faced 21 shots in the third period. Since he made 24 saves in a 2-1 Sharks win over the New York Islanders on Dec. 2, Hill had a 1-4-0 record and a .888 save percentage in six games. He allowed two goals on seven shots on Tuesday in relief of James Reimer, who allowed four goals in 24 in the Sharks’ 6-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday. This could be Hill’s net for the immediate future. Sharks coach Bob Boughner said before Thursday’s game that James Reimer is not 100 percent healthy right now as he deals with a lower-body ailment. Reimer was one of the Sharks’

top players this season up until the Christmas break, as he owned a 9-5-1 record with a .936 save percentage in 16 games. Since Christmas, though, Reimer is just 2-2-0 with a .830 save percentage in four games. Boughner said Reimer is “dealing with some maintenance things, really, with his body and his game, and we want to make sure that we give him the proper time to feel better before he gets back into action. “It’s just unfortunate because (Reimer) had such a great start to the season and like the rest of our team, has dipped a little bit. I know he’ll get back and we want to make sure that when he does, he’s close to 100 percent, so give him that chance for success.” See Sharks, Page B2

FAIRFIELD — Andy Rodriguez nailed a second-half penalty kick and goalkeeper Jonathan Harrington made it stand up to give the Armijo High boys soccer team a 2-1 win over Rodriguez in the Monticello Empire League opener for both teams at Coach Ed Hopkins Memorial Stadium, Wednesday. The Royals (2-6) scored first with a goal by Abraham Perez, who weaved his way through several defenders, in about the 10th minute. The Mustangs (2-6) tied it about five minutes later and it remained 1-1 at the half. A foul in the penalty area led to a penalty kick for Armijo, on which “Senior Captain Andy Rodriguez did his signature approach and sunk a beautiful goal to get us our second goal,” Royals coach Megan Flores said in an email. Harrington was credited with making four

saves in goal. “I am so proud of the play they brought to the field tonight and look forward to seeing what else the boys bring to the rest of the league,” Flores said. Rodriguez won the junior varsity game 3-0, scoring one goal in the first half, two in the second.

Why have Shanahan’s 49ers beaten McVay’s Rams five straight times? K erry Crowley MERCURY NEWS

hen the 49ers upset the Rams with a 31-10 victory on Monday Night Football at Levi’s Stadium in October, head coach Kyle Shanahan was quick to commend his team on meeting a daunting challenge he issued. Shanahan wanted the 49ers to rack up at least 40 rushing attempts against the Rams and San Francisco delivered with a 44-carry, 156yard night on the ground. “I said 40 today because it entails the whole team,” Shanahan said postgame. “The defense has to play that way. The O has to play that way. Special teams has to play that way. You have to be good on third downs. We have to

ANALYSIS get turnovers. It was just really cool the whole team played that way.” The Rams entered as 3.5-point favorites before losing their fifth consecutive head-tohead matchup against the 49ers in blowout fashion. Los Angeles head coach Sean McVay is widely regarded as one of the best in his profession, but he’s struggled to find answers against San Francisco teams that have often had less talent. Why does Shanahan have a recent edge against McVay? And what can the last five 49ers’ victories tell us about this Sunday’s pivotal matchup against a Rams team looking to secure its second NFC See 49ers, Page B10

Sharks From Page B1 The Sharks are carrying three goalies on their roster right now and Zach Sawchenko was Hill’s backup on Thursday. Hill, though, will presumably get the call on Saturday when the Sharks finish the road trip in Philadelphia against the Flyers. Hill entered Thursday with a 6-9-0 record and a .897, and just hasn’t been consistent enough since the first three-plus weeks of the season. “I want Hiller to get back there and own that net,” Boughner said. “I look back at the way he played in Toronto on our first road trip, the way he played in Calgary (on Nov. 9). He was big, he was confident. His job is not to win us a hockey game. His job is to make the saves he needs to make it, and give confidence to the rest of the team and be a calming effect, and that’s what I’ve asked him to do here. “Clears his head and stop overthinking. You’ve got to play by instinct and you’ve got to play with confidence.”

Brown From Page B1 That’s the end of it.” Arians said he did not use a throat slash gesture toward Brown, as the receiver said in a statement he released late Wednesday night through his attorney. Bucs general manager Jason Licht told ESPN that Brown did not tell anyone on the Bucs’ medical staff that his left ankle was bothering him on game day, either before kickoff or during the first half.

He missed his first 10 attempts and finished 3 of 14 for 11 points in Curry’s place in the starting lineup, after taking a backseat with Curry in Wednesday night’s loss (six points; 3 for 8). Kuminga delivered a highlight during a firsthalf run, collecting his own rebound once, then again, and again, and again, until finally his perseverance paid off. Four of his

six rebounds came on one possession that ended in two of his 13 points. Two more of Kuminga’s points came with less than a minute to go: Poole came up with a steal on the inbounds pass and passed to Kuminga, who turned the turnover into two points and pulled the Warriors within two points, 94-91, with 50 ticks left on the clock. New Orleans’ Brandon Ingram, however, sank two free throws on the following possession and that was as close as the Warriors would come.

CalMatters commentary

State can’t isolate itself, try as it might The first Europeans to visit California were Spanish explorers who assumed it was an island and named it for a fictional island in a 16th century Spanish novel, occupied by a band of woman warriors led by a queen named Calafia. Later, of course, it was understood that California is geographically attached to North America, a situation unlikely to change unless a cataclysmic earthquake detaches it. Nevertheless, Californians have often seen themselves as somehow separate from the rest of the United States. That tendency, or conceit, manifests itself in unique policies whose advocates contend will position the state as a leader of global stature – a phenomenon that has become more pronounced as the state’s political orientation has shifted leftward into oneDan Walters party dominance. The current governor, Gavin Newsom, is particularly prone to making first-in-the-nation claims, but he is merely verbalizing an attitude that had already become ingrained in California’s culture. The spate of new laws that went into effect this month provides multiple examples of the syndrome, such as one – enacted by voters in 2018, not the Legislature and the governor – that requires bacon and other pork products sold in the state to come from pigs bred and raised under presumably humane circumstances. Other new laws unique to California include a $15 per hour minimum wage, protections for warehouse workers (aimed at Amazon) from work quotas, hourly wages for garment workers to replace piecework, and gender-neutral merchandise displays in stores. There’s another undercurrent to these and other such decrees: Virtually all of them seek to impose California’s will on some aspect of the economy, putting the state at odds with the rest of the nation and creating potential downside risks. The “bacon law,” as it’s been dubbed, is one example. Much of the state’s supply of bacon, ham and other pork products comes from farmers and processors in other states. We simply don’t know whether enough of them will change their operations to comply with the new California husbandry rules to prevent product shortages that would drive up prices. We do know that other only-in-California policies exacerbate the state’s very high cost of living. For example, one reason gasoline prices are so high in California is the state requires a unique refinery blend to fight smog, making it almost entirely dependent on in-state production and unable to import fuel from other states or nations. Could shortages and high prices generate bacon smuggling? Will Californians drive to Nevada or Arizona to load up their cars with pork products and sneak them into the state? Will bacon-sniffing dogs be deployed at border inspection stations? That’s being a bit facetious, of course, but there are economic effects to all of these laws that set California apart, no matter how justified that may seem individually. California’s economy cannot be isolated from the rest of the nation and/or the rest of the world. Will banning piecework pay in the Southern California garment industry raise production costs so much that manufacturers will take their operations – and their jobs – elsewhere? The same question could be asked of other economic sectors affected by the new California laws and the legislative and regulatory decrees of previous years. It’s a serious question, given that the state is already seeing an exodus of business – Tesla’s abrupt move to Texas most spectacularly – and that we have the nation’s highest rate of unemployment with 1.3 million jobless workers and its highest rate of poverty because of our very high living costs. California is, we should always remember, not an island. CalMatters is a public interest journalism venture committed to explaining how California’s state Capitol works and why it matters.

Again and again through public enactment, California has demonstrated its will to keep the environment in mind as we move forward. Further, we must also carry forward processes to develop new water supplies for California’s farms and growing cities, whether those are storage facilities above ground or below ground, or stormwater capture and aquifer recharge, or desalination or recycling. In the face of a changing hydrology and the expected loss of snowpack, we simply cannot accommodate serious discussion on the demand side of water questions without working on the supply side. Otherwise, we are chasing a receding goalpost – and we will not get there. Finally, remember that farming is not a question of “if,” but “where.” We’re going to eat – all of us around the world – and we’re going to farm in order to do so. So we should protect California’s agricultural water supplies, because the case for California water being used on California’s farms is strong.

As stars cash in on vinyl LP boom, small manufacturers struggle to meet demand

Crossword

Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES – When Liz Dunster, known to friends as Vinyl Mama, moves through Erika Records’ 65,000-squarefoot vinyl pressing plant in Buena Park, she’s usually trailed by Elvis, her little Yorkshire terrier. On a recent morning, the two ambled through the facility, her in a stone-washed brown shirt, blue jeans and red boots, and Elvis trotting behind. Steam-powered presses, operated by employees busy hand-stamping splatter-colored records, hissed with energy on either side. She passed one area stacked with piles of Madvillain’s “Madvillainy” album sleeves awaiting records ordered by Highland Park label Stones Throw. Noting a chill in the warehouse, she grabbed a warm-to-the-touch puck of vinyl used to create glitter-filled records. “These also make good hand warmers,” she said with a smile, putting it into her pocket. It’s been a big year for vinyl sales, and the hum of activity overwhelming Erika’s production facility, which employs 75 people, offers proof. But – cue needle scratch – there’s a problem: Buyers want way more records than pressing plants Erika and crosstown competitor Record Technology Inc. in Camarillo, the only two remaining pressing facilities in Southern California, can supply. That’s true globally, too: There aren’t enough manufacturers to meet the renewed demand, and too few workers available to run them. As with every major plant in the country, Erika’s presses couldn’t keep up with the orders in 2021, and her plant is already fully booked through the end of 2022. RTI is scheduled six months out but plant manager Rick Hashimoto says that tenuous supply chains have rendered precise scheduling difficult. During the week that ended Dec. 23, buyers snatched up more than 2.11 million longplayers in the U.S., according to MRC Data. The volume was part of a record-breaking run in which vinyl sales in each of the final seven weeks of 2021 surpassed a million copies, the longest continuous streak since accurate tracking began in 1991. In early fall, Erika pressed tens of thousands of copies of Taylor Swift’s “Red (Taylor’s Version)” in preparation for the holiday rush. All told, Swift has sold nearly 200,000 copies of “Red (Taylor’s Version),” part of a year in which her vinyl catalog tallied nearly 750,000 units. One more set of numbers: Sales of new vinyl records this year doubled over 2020, to more than 42 million units. More than 300,000 of them were Adele’s “30,” which has spent

Guadalupe Herrera stacks records onto a spindle at Erika Records in Buena Park, Nov. 18, 2021. five weeks as the country’s top selling LP. Released on Nov. 19, the superstar’s album – thousands of which were pressed at RTI – shattered the singleyear vinyl sales record despite being on the market for a mere month-and-a-half. The demand is obvious at record stores. Last week Amoeba Music’s Hollywood location was so crowded it was hard to browse the aisles. At Record Safari in Atwater Village, proprietor Alex Rodriguez said that he’d been unable to restock dozens of titles he normally carries because his distributors’ warehouses are empty. “Generally, people being stuck at home with money to spend during the pandemic seemed to have kicked off a surge in interest in vinyl,” said Jason McGuire, general manager of L.A. indie label Stones Throw. The label, which is owned by DJ and producer Chris Manak, aka Peanut Butter Wolf, celebrated its 25th anniversary last year, a legacy supported through vinyl essentials by J Dilla, Madvillain, Anderson .Paak and Sudan Archives. Its sales were up 15% in 2021. “Lots of folks were stuck at home working or received stimulus money early on in the pandemic and couldn’t spend it on the same things as before, so they invested in their living spaces and home listening setups including turntables and hi-fi,” McGuire said, adding, “I think that’s still carrying on today, almost two years into the pandemic.” As sales have soared, though, so have costs. In the past year, the price of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), which is elemental to pressing records, jumped by nearly 50%. The pebble-like synthetic plastic polymer, stored in refrigerator-sized boxes in one wing of Erika’s facility, is also used to make vinyl flooring, fake leather and credit cards. Global production and distribution still haven’t recovered from the pandemic’s first wave, which shuttered plants and cluttered shipping lanes. In 2021, a cargo ship wedged in the Suez Canal caused a six-day backup

that shook up shipping schedules for the rest of the year. RTI’s Hashimoto said they get their vinyl from Asia. “A container that used to cost about $5,000 to ship now costs about $20,000 to $25,000,” he says. “Every part of the process is getting more expensive, including PVC, metal plating, freight and labor,” said Stones Throw’s McGuire. He adds that the label has been reluctant to raise its prices, but their costs have jumped significantly in the past half-year. “I expect them continue to increase into the next year,” he says. Erika does heavy business with Disney, which in recent years has issued soundtracks to many of its successful movies on picture discs – LPs with images baked into them. Demand is also high for colored variants – limited-edition runs in different color combinations, with bedazzled glitter or swirled, multicolored hues. Variants take more time because they’re hand-pressed. Dunster said that despite the major labels’ massive orders, she remains devoted to her independent customers and ensures their place in the the pecking order. It’s a tedious process, making bespoke variants at Erika. For swirled vinyl, which when finished resembles tiedye, each record takes a few minutes to manufacture. On this day, employee Guadalupe Herrera was setting a puck in what looked like a big waffle maker. But instead of batter, it was a pliable polymer disc that he then sprinkled with glitter, added another puck, pulled the top down and squished the vinyl to imprint microscopic grooves containing sound waves onto it. Another employee, Denise Hernandez, was inserting, by hand, newly minted “Madvillainy” records into each jacket. With single-color records, the process is much more automated, but with labels offering multicolored vinyl (and charging a few bucks more than black vinyl), Erika’s employees have their work cut out for them. Dunster founded Erika in 1981, when she was a young See Vinyl, Page B5

Vinyl From Page B4 metalhead chasing early Slayer, Motley Crue and Metallica shows on the Sunset Strip. Piggybacking on her dad’s expertise in the field – he worked for a company that built record presses – she started her enterprise against his wishes at an inopportune moment in the history of recorded music: 1981, a few years before the major record labels undertook a decades-long campaign to render vinyl LPs obsolete by promoting compact discs and cassette tapes. One of her earliest customers was Hollywood fixture Angelyne, who was trying to make it as a new wave singer. Not only did vinyl refuse to die, but demand is at its highest since at least 1991. News of vinyl’s return is hardly a breaking story, nor is the backlog of orders. The format has been “back” since the early ‘00s, and given Spotify, YouTube and the hundreds of millions of used records available online, even if the whole pressing industry collapsed tomorrow, nobody would be starved of the music Erika imprints onto vinyl. Vinyl, after all, accounts for just 1.4% of global music sales. But what would vanish is the most enduring nonfungible token of musical fandom of the past half-century. Unlike even five years ago, love of vinyl is no longer an indie-only phenomenon. With major labels that have dozens of projects in some phase of development, they have more buying power at the plants, noted Steve Sheldon, longtime general manager of Rainbo Records, which shuttered in late 2019. “The sad part about the backlog is everybody’s catering to the majors. The little independent labels are really getting squeezed.” Take, for example, Adele’s “30.” Whereas anyone in the world can stream Adele’s music, “true fans” require talismans that express their devotion. Whether via concert tickets, T-shirts, posters, avatars or social media, fans want to lean in. As holiday tallies from across America have confirmed, vinyl serves that purpose. Though many indie labels were pressing records in the 1990s, the format’s re-ascen-

sion started being taken seriously by industry watchers in the early 2000s. Two decades later, that millennial enthusiasm has echoed through to Gen-Zers across America, even as the necessity of owning a physical copy of anything has virtually vanished. Until recently, the vinyl boom has been considered by many in the industry as a bubble ready to burst. On a global scale, streaming remains the most viable avenue for profitability – and nobody has to worry about product getting throttled by an errant ship in the Suez Canal. The incentive for manufacturers to forge new presses, which are expensive to build and maintain, was tempered by the sense that the format’s return was a fad. That has shifted over the past half decade as at least two companies, Toronto-based Viryl Technologies and German company Newbilt Machinery, have introduced new presses. Rock singer and Third Man Records owner Jack White’s recently opened pressing plant in Detroit is fitted with Newbilt presses. “Worldwide production today is probably in the range of 150 million to 175 million records,” said Rainbo’s Sheldon. Dunster said that one major record company recently made its second inquiry into buying Erika’s whole operation. (She declined.) Erika’s biggest hurdle is a labor shortage. The company has 18 automatic presses ready to go but only has enough manpower to run 10. That staff shortage also means she can’t run a second line, which she used to do. “I’ve never seen it like this,” she said. That demand pushed RTI’s plant in Camarillo, where each week its eight presses run 24 hours per day to make about 80,000 albums. For much of autumn, the presses were working on nothing but Adele; her label, Columbia, had ordered 100,000 black vinyl copies of “30.” Since it was a two-LP set, that meant RTI had to mint 200,000 pieces. Sheldon said that demand will continue to outstrip supply as long as global production capacity isn’t increased through new pressing plants. It’s simple math. “This is not going to go away quickly. It’s going to take a lot of equipment to ramp up.”

against the Rams.

KEYS TO VICTORY If recent history is any indication, the 49ers’ best chance of upsetting the Rams on Sunday will require San Francisco’s offense to keep the ball away from Stafford, running back Sony Michel and All-Pro wide receiver candidate Cooper Kupp. The 49ers have dominated time of possession in recent meetings and regardless of whether Garoppolo or rookie Trey Lance starts in Los Angeles, it’s clear that rookie Elijah Mitchell and wide receiver-turned-ball carrier Deebo Samuel can have an outsized impact on the outcome if they’re able to generate consistent yardage on the ground and stress the Rams’ rushing defense. The 49ers haven’t always done a great job of limiting Kupp or other top Rams’ receiving threats, but Saleh and current defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans have devised schemes that have given Goff and now Stafford fits on third and fourth downs. Even if the 49ers don’t win the turnover battle this weekend, they’ve proven they can still beat the Rams if they’re effective at getting off the field on critical downs as the Rams are a combined 16-for-64 (25%) on third and fourth downs in the last five matchups. One of the keys unique to this season: The Rams have had much better special teams units than the 49ers over the course of the season, but San Francisco was still able to stop the fake field goal in the first matchup. So long as the 49ers don’t get embarrassed on special teams – which is easier said than done for the 2021 team – they have proven a ball-control strategy on offense and a scheme that forces Los Angeles into longer distances on third and fourth downs can be effective at neutralizing McVay’s team.

West title in the last four seasons? We examined seven key elements – turnover margin, second-half scoring, time of possession, rushing attempts and yards, passing attempts and yards, third- and fourth-down conversions and Aaron Donald’s impact – in each game to see what formula the 49ers must follow to beat the Rams and clinch a playoff berth this week. 49ERS 20, RAMS 7 (OCT. 13, 2019) The 49ers’ win streak against the Rams began in Los Angeles with a convincing victory made possible by an outstanding performance from San Francisco’s defense and a remarkable advantage on third and fourth downs. Shanahan’s offense didn’t dominate the Rams at the line of scrimmage – Donald finished with four tackles for loss and two sacks – but the 49ers called 41 run plays (99 total rushing yards) and finished the game with a dominant 38:52 to 21:08 advantage in time of possession. The Rams actually had a 2-to-1 advantage in turnover margin, but a Jared Goff fumble on the first play of the second half set the 49ers up with a short field that enabled Jimmy Garoppolo to cap off a goahead, four-play, 17-yard touchdown drive in the third quarter. The 49ers converted 8-of-17 third-down attempts while the Rams went 0-of-9 on third down and 0-of-4 on fourth down. 49ERS 34, RAMS 31 (DEC. 21, 2019) Of the five consecutive wins the

49ers have earned against the Rams, this is the game that’s likely the least helpful for Shanahan and Co. to study if they’re determining why they’ve been so successful against Los Angeles. The Rams again won the turnover margin 2-1, and in this matchup, McVay’s team won the time of possession battle by more than four minutes. The 49ers ran for 119 yards on 23 attempts and held the Rams to just 72 rushing yards on 24 attempts, but Goff owned San Francisco’s secondary as he threw for 323 yards and had two receivers top 100 receiving yards on the day. The reason the 49ers pulled away late were two third-and-16 conversions on passes from Garoppolo that set up a game-winning 33-yard field goal from Robbie Gould as time expired. 49ERS 24, RAMS 16 (OCT. 18, 2020) The Rams were a far better team than the 49ers in 2020, but San Francisco still picked up a pair of victories over the division foe following a fairly similar blueprint. In the first matchup, the Rams won the turnover battle 1-to-0 and actually outscored the 49ers in the second half 10-3, but Shanahan’s offense imposed its will on the Los Angeles defense by controlling the clock and racking up 37 rushing attempts. The 49ers only averaged 3.3 yards per carry in this game, but their rushing attack was effective enough to keep the Rams’ offense off the field as San Francisco finished with a near-16-minute advantage in time of possession. Donald (two tackles) wasn’t much of a factor while Goff (198 yards) averaged less than 5.5 yards per attempt. 49ERS 23, RAMS 20 (NOV. 29, 2020) The Rams had won four straight games at SoFi Stadium to open the 2020 season and the 49ers were

49ERS 31, RAMS 10 (NOV. 15, 2021) New Rams quarterback Matt Stafford was supposed to be a huge improvement over Goff and for the most part, the former Lions signalcaller has lived up to the billing. The primary issue plaguing Stafford has been turnovers and in his first game with Los Angeles against San Francisco, he threw a pair of early interceptions to 49ers safety Jimmie Ward that put Shanahan’s team in control of the game early. With extra possessions and the ability to run the football, the 49ers dictated the tempo of this game and amassed 156 rushing yards on a staggering 44 attempts. The Rams combined to go 3-of-12 on third and fourth down and had a fake field goal snuffed out by rookie safety Talanoa Hufanga, which represents a rare bright spot in 2021 for the 49ers’ special teams units. A commitment to the run paid off for the 49ers as they possessed the ball for more than 39 minutes, their most in any of the five victories

without their starting quarterback due to an injury, but backup Nick Mullens led San Francisco to a victory anyway as Robert Saleh’s defense stepped up in a major way. In keeping with the theme for several 49ers wins, they easily won the time of possession battle as the offense kept the ball for more than 34 minutes while gaining 112 yards on 33 rushing attempts. Each team scored a defensive touchdown in this matchup, but the 49ers were able to create separation on the scoreboard early in the second half when rookie defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw intercepted a Goff pass and returned it 27 yards for a touchdown. Another excellent fourth quarter from the 49ers’ defense set up a Gould game-winner as time expired as San Francisco forced back-to-back punts on the Rams’ last two possessions.
