VALLEJO — Touro University California and its partners commemorated the 100th mobile Covid-19 vaccination clinic Wednesday at Cooper Elementary School.

The Mobile Vaccination Program helps vaccinate vulnerable populations by eliminating barriers to access for underserved communities, according to a Touro press release. These clinics are set up in neighborhood locations such as churches and schools that are easy to access and are in locations where residents will congregate anyway.

“None of this can happen without collaboration,” Solano County Superintendent of Schools Lisette Estrella-Henderson said. “It’s a beautiful thing. People coming together hand-in-hand to help this community. This is happen-

ing across the entire county. Solano County benefits from these types of partnerships.”

Kaiser Permanente provided grant support for the mobile clinics.

“We thank you for allowing us to be a part of this celebration today,” said Dr. Keedra McNeill of Kaiser Permanente. “And we congratulate everyone who is coming out and bringing your children to receive your shots.”

Touro staff and volunteers were available to not only give the Covid-19 vaccinations but to address any concerns or other misinformation about the vaccines themselves or the vaccination process. In addition to addressing various vaccination hesitancy concerns, staff and volunteers through the mobile clinic are able to address many people for whom English is not their See Clinic, Page A9

Biden vows to appoint a Black woman to Supreme Court Breyer makes retirement official WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden praised Supreme Court Justice Stephen G. Breyer, who made his retirement official at the White House on Thursday, vowing that his choice to replace him will be a Black woman and that he plans to announce the choice by the end of next month.

“I’ve made no decision except one: The person I will nominate will be someone of extraordinary qualifications, character,

experience and integrity,” Biden said. “And that person will be the first Black woman ever nominated to the United States Supreme Court.

It’s long overdue.”

Appearing with Breyer before a small group of reporters in the Roosevelt Room just outside the Oval Office, Biden called it “a bittersweet day for me,” noting that he and Breyer “go back a long way,” and praising him as “an exemplary justice” and “model public servant at See Biden, Page A9

Beware of flying sheep A sheep that came in from the cold in March and entered Chandler’s Furniture then went flying through the plate glass window.

After a hectic chase, Vacaville police and some citizens finally corralled the unhurt sheep about a mile away from the downtown area.

They wanted to know how it got there and why it was wandering around Main Street.

The Solano animal control shelter in Vallejo kept it and asked for people to call if they happen to be missing a flying sheep.

Call For Your

Gassy girl It was still a big deal for a girl in 1972 to be a gas station attendant. A story about 19-yearold Vacaville resident Donnie Smith, who was a part-time student at Solano Community College, said she quickly learned how to check the water, oil, radiator, tires, clean the windshield and fill up the gas tanks.

She said while she hasn’t been hassled, some women did not want a female gas attendant assisting then.

A couple of paragraphs from the article: “At the Gulf station on Merchant Street, all is quiet then all of a sudden within five minutes there are five ‘dings’ of the bell and five motorists are waiting to have their gas tanks gassed and windshields washed.

Donnie Smith swings into action with all the finesse of a housewife making sure the potatoes, peas and meat are all done at the same time.”

Long haired freaky people need not apply A group of young Vacaville men in October began picketing

the Terrible Herbst gas station at Merchant and Parker streets, protested that they had been fired solely because of their long hair.

A company spokesman said the five employees, including the manager, were fired “because those guys weren’t following company policy – cleanliness was a part of it, they were scroungy and wouldn’t dress up in uniform. It wasn’t for any other reason.”

A spokesman for the former employees said the entire crew except one with short hair had been summarily fired with no explanation as to how the company policy had been violated. In addition, he said all of the dismissed employees had gotten “several inches of our hair trimmed off the previous week.”

Vallejo residents Debbie Sessler, right, and Beppy Leaver are Holocaust survivors.

Relative of Holocaust survivors tells their stories for

Remembrance Day Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VALLEJO — Elizabeth Sessler was a high school junior in San Bruno when her mother came to her social studies class to speak.

It was the first time she learned her mother, Debbie Sessler, and her aunt, Bertha “Beppy” Leaver, were Holocaust survivors. The sisters, now 95 and 93, respectively, are residents at The Lodge at Glen Cove in Vallejo.

The senior living complex has scheduled an event Thursday afternoon in observance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a gathering in recognition of Jewish culture and Holocaust survivors. Due to Covid restrictions and some health issues, the sisters, who were to be recognized during the local event, were not available for interviews.

“You know, first, shock,” Elizabeth Sessler said of learning about her family’s terrifying past.

She said when she was growing up, her mother never spoke a word about her experiences, including

being imprisoned in seven or eight death camps from the time she was 16 until she was 18 when the Russian Army liberated Auschwitz, the last camp in which the sisters were sent.

Their tattooed arms are a lifetime reminder of the horrors.

Millions of Jews and others would not survive the camps. Historians place the death toll at Auschwitz alone at 1 million individuals.

“But the funny thing is I can remember it like it was yesterday,” Elizabeth Sessler said about that day in class, including the boy, from a different social studies class, who told her “this is going to be a complete bore.” He had no way of knowing he was speaking about her mother.

“When it was all over, he was crying,” Sessler said.

Debbie Sessler and Beppy Leaver spoke to students about their Holocaust experiences for 20 or more years, including presentations at Benicia Middle School where the program got so big, the school had to

move it from the classrooms to the multipurpose room and eventually to the church across the street.

The first engagement was in the history class of Elizabeth Sessler’s daughter, Julia Benner.

Elizabeth Sessler said she is disappointed by today’s political environment in which so many make frivolous comparisons of current events to the actions of the Nazi regime, or even make fun of the Holocaust and hold up the Nazis for being something other than the mass murderers they were.

“One of the things my mom continually told the kids . . . it is so important not to hate anyone because this is what happens when you hate. So be kind to people,” Sessler said.

The word “hate” was not allowed in the family home.

The sisters, who were born in Amsterdam, were 2 and 4 when they lost their parents. They lived with relatives for a short while, but eventually were placed in an orphanage for Jewish girls that emphasized discipline and order.

Suicide threat shuts down some I-80 lanes on Carquinez Bridge Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VALLEJO — A man threatened suicide and the detonation of a bomb on the Carquinez Bridge Monday night, leading to the closure of the westbound lanes for more than six hours, according to a press release from the California Highway Patrol.

A Solano CHP unit was patrolling along westbound Interstate 80 east of Pomona Street at 5:40 p.m. Monday and noticed a Nissan pickup truck stopped on the right shoulder. The officer stopped his patrol vehicle behind the pickup to check on the occupant.

When the officer attempted to communicate with the driver, the man yelled to the officer to stay away and began rolling the vehicle forward, the CHP reports. The man dialed the Golden Gate Communications Center and urged dispatchers to have the officer stay away from him. He then

threatened to jump off the bridge and advised he was in possession of a bomb.

Additional CHP Solano personnel responded and stopped westbound traffic on the bridge. The man briefly drove his pickup the wrong way and then stopped the vehicle, climbed over the bridge’s safety railing and threatened to jump.

Personnel from the Solano County Sheriff’s Office, Benicia police, American Medical Response and the California Department of Transportation responded to lend assistance. The CHP Golden Gate Division’s Crisis Negotiation Team also responded.

Golden Gate Division personnel communicated with the man for several hours while the westbound lanes remained shut down.

Personnel were successful just before 1 a.m. Tuesday in convincing the man to step back over the bridge’s railing to safety.

The man, whose iden-

tity was not released, was transported to a local hospital for a mental health evaluation and treatment. Traffic lanes on the bridge were reopened by 1:30 a.m. Tuesday.

A feral cat hides under a gutter along Chadbourne Road in Fairfield, Thursday.

Supervisors told county needs to do something about feral cat problem Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Thousands of feral cats roam the streets of Solano County, worsened by the Covid-19 pandemic and the lack of animal control programs.

All the cats were “once someone’s unfixed cat or a descendant of an unfixed cat,” Wenona Matley. founder of Community Cat Advocates, told the Board of Supervisors in an impassioned speech Tuesday.

“Hence, all community cat populations are the result of irresponsible pet owners and (are) the responsibility of the community-at-large to resolve,” she said.

Matley estimates between 14,000 and 35,000 kittens are born each year in Vallejo alone.

“Only about 1,000 don’t suffer and die,” Matley said.

“Everyone is talking about football this morning,” said Matley, a reference to the board recognizing the Vanden High

state championship football team. “This means that’s enough dead, fluffy, sweet kittens to carpet a football field.”

Her complaint is that the county has no trapping program to spay or neuter the cats and then release them.

Past efforts have been hindered by cost to private citizens, and not having veterinarians willing to do the spay and neutering as part of county programs.

This is not the first time this issue has come to the board. Some groups have even asked the supervisors to use federal American Rescue Plan funds to support a trapand-release program.

Supervisor Erin Hannigan said Animal Control for months has been talking about developing a voucher program, which would pay veterinarians $100 for each surgery.

The funding would come from a source outside the county general fund.

Renee Gutierrez, the manager at Animal Control, referred questions to the Sheriff’s

Office public information officer, who said on Thursday that the department is still exploring options and looking for providers for the spay/ neutering service. An update to the board on the voucher discussions is slated for March.

Board Chairman John Vasquez said he wants a history of Animal Control to be part of that update.

“It is a partnership with the seven cities, so the budget is reliant upon our partners to also participate in these costs.

So it’s not only the county’s responsibility, but we are the lead on it,” Vasquez said.

Hannigan added, “If we are not realistic with our partners in terms of what it costs to do this work, then we need to come clean and let them know they need to put more money into it.”

Vasquez, who said he was on the first Animal Control committee in the county, said the issue – including the role of the cities – goes back decades.

“I can tell you that conversations have been going on for 40 years,” he said.

“I’m not saying it’s all on the Sheriff’s (Office), but I think we need to take the lead because we have taken the lead on animal control,” Hannigan said.

Charlotte Hill called in support of Matley’s comments, but another caller, while empathetic with the plight of the feral cat problem, reminded the board there is a human homeless problem that should be the priority.

“That may be harsh for some people to hear, but we do have a lot of life, human life in the streets right now,” the caller into the meeting said. Her name could not be confirmed.

She called on the board to enact an ordinance that would prevent law enforcement from clearing away homeless encampments, and by doing so, stripping the individuals of their dignity. She also called for more programs to help those individuals.

“Our focus is making our transportation system safe and more equitable, accessible and sustainable,” Konove said.

“I think California is in a unique position to compete for these grants as they become available.”

Fremier called it the “opening of an important chapter in this American story.” He said the Infrastructure Act will help address climate change and greenhouse emissions and help Bay Area transportation by expanding electric buses, improving the ferry system and making electric cars more of a “practical choice.”

Bernardini thanked Garamendi and Thompson for always “thinking about labor.”

The workshop will address current and future housing needs within the community. The process of updating the Housing Element to the General Plan is ongoing to establish goals, policies and implementation measures

“They always give us a seat at the table and want to hear what issues come up and how they can help,” Bernardini said.

“This will provide more jobs for union work closer to where they live.”

The congressmen don’t know how much money they will receive but they have a plethora of projects they would like to work on. Expanding bike trails, making improvements on Highways 37, 12 and 113, working on the bottleneck that is Interstate 80, and the causeway between Davis and Sacramento were all discussed during the town hall.

“Highway 37 is going to sink in not too many years and we need to do a lot of investment in that,” Thompson said. “Highway 12 has been a controversial transportation route for a long time. It is one of those roads that needs a lot of attention.”

The congressmen also talked about their support for rooftop solar and the

need for wildfire mitigation. They also feel the expansion of broadband and building up the electrical grid into rural communities must continue to be addressed.

“One of our oldest transportation systems are ferries and we need to continue to look at that as an alternative to highways,” Garamendi said.

“The Amtrak system is also important to Solano County. We need to make sure that not all the money goes to the East Coast corridor but also for California and the Capital Corridor, and the need for additional depots.”

Harbor maintenance at the ports and improvements at airports were also discussed.

VACAVILLE — The City Council voted Tuesday to accept the Downtown Specific Plan addendum to the city’s General Plan.

The downtown plan outlines goals for the area to beautify the streets, help small businesses and draw people to the town’s center.

Senior Planner Tyra Hays presented the council with the city’s plans, which she said had been worked on for three years.

Project Manager Beverly Choi gave a slide presentation outlining their vision. The Downtown Specific Plan had previously passed muster with the Planning Commission in December.

“This is very much

a community-driven process,” said Choi, who emphasized the importance of input from residents, business owners and city government.

Her presentation was peppered with artists’ renderings of what the downtown could look like, with lush landscaping, improved lighting, bike paths and emphasis on mixed-use zoning, such as apartments above businesses.

Planners are taking into account “texture and color,” through different building materials or designs as well as things like public art and murals.

She called it “placemaking.”

But eventually, they, too, would be sent to the labor and concentration camps. During those years, the sisters were forced to work a number of jobs for the Nazis, including sorting and folding the clothes of camp residents who had been sent to their deaths.

A typical meal was warm water and a slice of bread.

“One of the jobs they had was at a marmalade factory, and while they could not eat the oranges, they ate the rinds,” Elizabeth Sessler said. The unexpected opportunity for a least a little bit of nutrition is considered one of the miracles, too.

When the war was over, the sisters did not want to return to Holland because they felt their homeland had been unjust to them and other Jews. So they went to England.

It was there they learned to speak

There was no information on the condition of the individual.

Wildfire burning near Big Sur 65% contained Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — A wind-driven wildfire that burned right up to the iconic Bixby Creek Bridge on the Big Sur coast last week is now 65% contained, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

The Colorado fire has burned 700 acres since it first ignited Friday evening in Monterey County near Palo Colorado Canyon and the Big Sur coast, officials said. Approximately 500 people were forced to flee their homes as strong offshore winds whipped through the area.

Gusts reached up to 35 mph and spread the blaze that Cal Fire investigators says was started

Plan From Page A4 Town Square, which Choi would like to see expanded in some way, such as through making the plaza more grand with artistic features and creative paving.

“It would all further the notion that the Town Square is this nucleus in the heart of downtown where there’s this critical mass of different uses,” she said.

For Choi, housing will be the “key to a robust community.” This will involve different prototypes of styles, such as multiplexes, townhomes, row houses, apartments and condos. She said single-family homes dominate now and the city would like to see other options “fill that missing middle and provide a better variety.”

by hot embers from a runaway pile burning operation, where trees and brush were gathered in a pile and intentionally set on fire. Cal Fire did not specify who started the pile burn, because the investigation is ongoing.

“The wind got behind the escaped pile burn and blew those embers on to some nearby vegetation,” Cal Fire spokesperson Cecile Juliette said.

Previously, the fire was estimated to have burned 1,500 acres, but more accurate mapping cut that figure down to 700 acres by Monday.

Offshore winds are forecast to continue through Friday morning. The humidity level is expected to drop as a result.

Part of the new plan will involve streamlining some decisions, which means allowing designers and planners to move forward with things that have already been green lit with funding, without having to go back and present everything before the Planning Commission. Mostly this involves infrastructure projects such as improving water and sewer lines to meet the needs of a growing community.

Councilman Roy Stockton said he liked the direction plans were taking, but had misgivings of streamlining things.

He said “a lot of folks” have contacted him about the plans and not everyone agrees on parking and other projects.

“I don’t want to take away their opportunity to address the council or Planning Commission,” he said. “Folks have invested their livelihoods. These decisions will directly

Polaris Pharmaceuticals expanding 15 additional acres in Vacaville Daily Republic Staff DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VACAVILLE — Polaris Pharmaceuticals Inc. Vacaville has purchased 15 acres in the Vaca Valley Business Park to expand and build a state-ofthe-art biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility, according to a press release from the city.

Polaris Pharmaceuticals Vacaville is part of the Polaris Group family.

“We are excited to expand our manufacturing and process research

capabilities in Vacaville,” said Chris Huxsoll, senior vice president of operations for Polaris, in a press release. “The city of Vacaville has been a great partner over the years, and that was one of the key considerations in our decision expand operations here.”

Polaris Pharmaceuticals Vacaville was founded in 2002. A cGMP facility was built for biologics in 2005 and has provided pegargiminase for all clinical studies for more than 10 years.

The Polaris Group is a multinational biotechnology company focused on developing novel anti-cancer therapies.

“Polaris represents the type of biomanufacturer we envisioned locating in Vacaville when we took action to grow our biomanufacturing hub,” Mayor Ron Rowlett said in a press release. “We will work with Polaris through our Biotechnology Fast Track permitting program to get this new facility up and operational as quickly as possible, and we will

continue to connect them to the resources they need to be successful in Vacaville.”

The city announced in October the start of the next generation of its biomanufacturing cluster with the identification of 300 acres available for development. Capable of an estimated 3 million additional square feet of biomanufacturing, this space houses the Polaris acquisition and the recently announced Agenus Inc. acquisition.

Councilman Nolan Sullivan shared Stockton’s concerns with streamlining, though he said he understands streamlining can help get things done. He also suggested the city should do some brainstorming about what to do with vacant storefronts, like use them as “incubators” for startup businesses like restaurants that would attract visitors.

Councilwoman Jeanette Wylie agreed “you don’t want things to be rolled through” with streamlining, but it “might make it so we can actually get something done.”

The plan passed in the final vote, with Councilman Gregory Ritchie recusing himself due to a conflict of interest.

Both Mayor Ron Rowlett and Stockton voted “no,” Stockton due to the streamlining issue and Rowlett giving no reason for his vote.

and many others who have inadequate access to care, according to a press release from Dodd’s office.

“Many people can’t get to the medication they need to lead healthy, productive lives, so we will bring it to them,” Dodd said in the press release.

“We must be proactive if we want to address the underlying cause of many societal challenges, includ-

ing homelessness.”

Dodd’s proposal, Senate Bill 872, authorizes public agencies and others that serve homeless and vulnerable people to operate DODD mobile pharmacies. Each mobile unit would have a physician as part of the team to prescribe medi-

cations that can be dispensed immediately. Oversight would come from the state Board of Pharmacy.

Dodd currently represents the 3rd Senate District, which includes all or portions of Solano, Napa, Yolo, Sonoma, Contra Costa and Sacramento counties.

Missing North Carolina mother, daughter found safe after 5 years Tribune Content Agency

Irfan Khan/Los Angeles Times/TNS

California State University is poised to permanently drop SAT and ACT testing requirement for admission.

CSU indicates it will permanently scrap SAT, ACT requirement Tribune Content Agency California State University trustees strongly indicated Wednesday they will permanently scrap SAT and ACT testing requirements for admission – a move that would align the nation’s largest four-year higher education system with the University of California, which dumped the standardized exams it criticized as biased and of little value.

At a board meeting Wednesday, not one trustee on the 12-member educational policy committee voiced opposition to a recent recommendation by a systemwide admission advisory council to drop the tests. The council of students, faculty and administrators found the assessments less effective than high school grades in predicting college success, while producing disparate results for underserved students and creating undue stress.

The full Board of Trustees will vote on the proposal in March and, if approved, the council will craft a new admissions formula and suggest when to begin using it, with Chancellor Joseph I. Castro making the final decision.

“The issue of SAT and ACT testing has overwhelmed students and families for a long time,” said Trustee Diego Arambula, a longtime public school and nonprofit educator. “To see that a GPA alone actually has better predictive power makes it abundantly clear to me that if we can clear this all off of the plates of young people and their families who are already going through such stressful times right now . . . it’s in the right interest of our communities.”

For Trustee Yammilette Rodriguez, the testing issue is personal.

She said she attended a small rural school without the support to guide her pathway to college and missed SAT and ACT registration deadlines. She had to attend a community college, although she had a 4.0 GPA, instead of her preferred route to enroll directly in a four-year university.

“This is my story,” she said of the admission council recommendation.

“So as someone who navigated the college system by myself – and know that I share that story with so many students – I thank you for saying that we are going to increase pathways for all students. This was brave, and I’m glad that we did it.”

The Cal State move comes as more than 1,800 colleges and universities have dropped standardized testing requirements for admissions – nearly 80% of all four-year U.S. campuses that award bachelor’s degree, with most making them optional due to the pandemic. UC is the most prominent university system to permanently eliminate the requirements. A Cal State decision to do likewise would cement California’s place in the national vanguard of developing test-free, more equitable ways to assess a student’s readiness for college.

The College Board, which owns the SAT, and ACT Inc. argue that their tests are valuable tools to help predict college outcomes and any disparate results based on race, income and parents’ educational levels are rooted in long-standing educational inequities in neighborhoods and schools. The College Board this week

unveiled an all-digital exam that is shorter, more concise and cheat-proof.

But the new format does not change the CSU recommendation because “the test really remains the same,” trustees were told by Sylvia A. Alva, executive vice chancellor of academic and student affairs.

The 23-campus Cal State system, which educates 477,000 students, has suspended testing requirements for the last two years due to the pandemic. Campuses have replaced the eligibility index composed of grades and test scores with multiple factors, including high school grade-point average in 15 required college preparatory courses, overall coursework rigor and extracurricular activities. High school context may also be considered – a school’s share of low-income students, for instance, and whether it is near a CSU campus for priority consideration.

If trustees approve the proposal, the admission advisory council would refine the eligibility index formula, recommending to Castro a minimum required GPA, factors used for scoring and timeline for rollout. Campuses with more applicants than seats in any or all programs would retain flexibility to choose which factors to consider.

Cal State Long Beach, for instance, one of the system’s most competitive campuses, does not review any applicant with a GPA below 3.0 or consider nonacademic factors, such as work experience, military service, extracurricular activities or socioeconomic status. Cal State Los Angeles, by contrast, will consider applicants with GPAs as low as 2.0 and consider those

FBI: ‘Green Gaiter Bandit’ has targeted more than 12 banks Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — The FBI and local police agencies are searching for a man who they say has robbed or attempted to rob more than a dozen banks in Los Angeles and Orange counties in recent months.

The robber, dubbed the “Green Gaiter Bandit” because of the green neck gaiter or other face covering he wears, is described as a 6-foot tall white male, between 50 and 60 years old, with gray hair and a medium to heavy build who has been seen on surveillance video wearing work-style clothes and a tan jacket, according to the FBI.

FBI/TNS

The person known as the “Green Gaiter Bandit” has robbed or attempted to rob more than a dozen banks.

The man should not be approached by the public, the agency cautioned.

In some instances, the robber asked or passed notes to tellers asking for

cash or “loose bills,” and after getting the money, fled the scene on foot, authorities said.

The man has robbed multiple banks, including Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, Chase and Union Bank, in Fullerton, Gardena, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach and Torrance since October, according to the FBI. He has also robbed or attempted to rob some of the same banks twice.

No weapons have been seen during the robberies, but authorities assume the man is armed and dangerous, FBI spokesperson Laura Eimiller said. Anyone with information about the robber is encouraged to call the FBI at 310-477-6565.

additional factors.

Standardized test scores, if submitted, could continue to be used to place students in math and English classes after they are admitted. For students without SAT or ACT scores, campuses are using overall GPA or a statewide assessment taken by public school students for placement.

During the 50-minute discussion, trustees raised several questions, including how to maintain the university system’s academic quality without test scores. Trustee Jack Clarke Jr. asked what to say to those who argue “we’re watering down the admission requirements, particularly in the areas See SAT, Page A10

More than five years after a North Carolina mother and her then-1-year-old daughter vanished, they were found safe just 20 miles away from home.

Amber Renaye Weber, then 21, and daughter Miracle Smith were found at a home in Bunnlevel, N.C., Tuesday, the U.S. Marshals announced.

Weber and Smith were last seen on Dec. 4, 2016, in Fayetteville and reported missing several weeks later on Jan. 31.

All leads went cold until Fayetteville Police Department’s Investigative Assistant Sonia Roldan took over the investigation a year ago and began collaborating with the U.S. Marshals.

The U.S. Marshals said the investigation “developed information” that the missing child and mother were in Bunnlevel and “may be associated with (Joe) Smith,” who was arrested on Jan. 19 for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Officials found Miracle at the Bunnlevel home and turned her “and her sibling over to the Harnett County Department of Social Services to provide victim assistance.”

Four guns were also found at the home.

Brandon Taylor, a deputy U.S. Marshal with the Investigative Operations Division, told the Daily News that

Amber Renaye Weber, top, and Miracle Smith.

Amber gave birth to Miracle’s sibling after the pair went missing, but could not identify the child’s father.

Police did not disclose their relationship to Smith, but Taylor told The News that he appears to be Miracle’s grandfather.

Amber and Miracle were previously abused before they went missing, according to officials.

Monty Weber, Amber’s father, told CBS17 that she had been staying with her sister before vanishing, then “took off in the middle of the night” with the baby.

David Letterman to mark ‘Late Night’ 40th anniversary with Meyers Tribune Content Agency David Letterman is coming home.

“Late Night” host Seth Meyers announced on his Tuesday night program that Letterman, who hosted the NBC program from 1982 to 1993, will join him on air on Feb. 1 to celebrate the show’s 40th anniversary.

Though other comedians hosted “Late Night” between Letterman and Meyers, Meyers told Letterman when he was a “Late Night” guest in 2018 that “If you hadn’t started, I wouldn’t be here.”

During that visit, Letterman brought Meyers a tick, he claimed he’d picked off his own body, and returned the compliment.

“Your show is nothing like my show,” he said.

“My show was lumpy and viscus. Your show is crisp and smart and contemporary and, it’s just lovely.”

The one thing Letterman said Meyers should have done differently – which he told him from the start – is change the name of the program to “The Tomorrow Show.”

That was the name of the program when Tom Snyder hosted it in the same time slot, following “The Tonight Show,” then hosted by Johnny Carson.

Meyers said he kept the name “Late Night” because he wanted to be a part of the legacy Letterman helped establish.

Letterman left “Late Night,” and NBC, in 1993, to do the “Late Show with David Letterman” on CBS. He stayed there until 2015.

Francis Rubio, 11, receives a Covid-19 vaccination shot during Touro University’s 100th Mobile Vaccination Program clinic at Cooper Elementary School in Vallejo, Wednesday.

Clinic From Page One native language.

“I want to thank every family that has come out to support us at these clinics and has entrusted your families, your kiddos, and your community with us,” said Touro University Provost and Chief Academic Officer Dr. Sarah Sweitzer. “We appreciate you and you are my own community as I grew up here in Vallejo and live in Fairfield. So each and every one of you I consider my extended community.”

A significant number of the clinics have been hosted by Vallejo City School District sites, such as Cooper Elementary.

“We are grateful to our extraordinary partners at Touro University and Kaiser Permanente, along with their respective physicians, nurses and medical students for their heroic efforts to provide Covid vaccines to Vallejo City Unified School District students, families, staff and the larger community,” said

Mitch Romao, the school district’s assistant superintendent for operations, in the Touro press release.

“We celebrate and congratulate all concerned for 100 vaccination clinics, and we look forward to partnering for as many as it will take to help us all in getting the upper hand on this pandemic.”

Touro volunteers through the mobile clinics, prior to Wednesday, had distributed 4,472 doses – and counting – of vaccine and served 6,586 people while disseminating educational materials and completing 5,060 volunteer hours, according to the press release.

The next update is scheduled late Friday afternoon.

Most people who have Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, experience only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. Some people, especially older adults and those with underlying health problems, experience more severe illness such as pneumonia. The vast majority of people who contract Covid-19 recover from their illness.

“And we really wanted our citizens to know what the Police Department is going to do,” Profitt said about the safety meeting.

The police have increased patrols in the region, and will be implementing additional enforcement programs using officers and crime prevention specialists focused on educating businesses, apartment complexes and the public in general about what to look for to prevent crime.

The three robberies appear to be random and do not seem to be related, though Profitt said the incidents are still under investigation to determine any possible correlation.

A crowd gathers as Lt. Kelly Rombach speaks during a safety meeting in response to recent robberies in the Cordelia area at the parking lot outside Costco, Thursday.

The first took place Sunday when an armed robber approached a man going back to his car after visiting the Green Valley Fairfield Chase Bank ATM and demanded the cash and other valuables.

The time of the incident was about 9 a.m. The suspect fled the area by car, and it is not known

if there was anyone else involved.

A jogger was confronted at approximately 11 a.m. Monday in the ares of Solano Community College. Again the robber was seeking whatever valuables the runner had in possession. The suspect fled on foot.

of serving as part of the federal judicial system – nearly 14 years as a Court of Appeals judge and nearly 28 years as a Member of the Supreme Court,” he wrote. “I have found the work challenging and meaningful. My relations with each of my colleagues have been warm and friendly.

“Throughout, I have been aware of the great honor of participating as a judge in the effort to maintain our Constitution and the rule of law,” he concluded.

His decision to retire at the end of this year’s term in June is partly a matter of political pragmatism. Breyer’s brother Charles, himself a federal judge in California, said in an interview Wednesday that the decision likely ensures that Biden will be able to replace him with a like-minded judge, given that Democrats narrowly control the Senate.

Democrats plan to move expeditiously to confirm Breyer’s replacement in the coming months. Biden, who did not take questions after making his remarks, said he planned to listen to advice from all corners and conduct a rigorous process to determine his choice to replace Breyer.

He said he intends to announce his choice “by the end of February.”

Speculation has focused on two potential nominees above all: U.S. District Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, 51, and

California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger, 45.

Jackson was a Supreme Court clerk for Breyer in 1999 and 2000 and was approved by the Senate last March to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, filling the seat vacated

by Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Kruger served as a law clerk for the late Justice John Paul Stevens.

Others who have been cited as potential nominees are J. Michelle Childs, a federal district judge in South Carolina who is a favorite of Rep. James E. Clyburn, D-S.C., and Sherrilyn Ifill, the outgoing president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.

Clyburn, whose 2020 endorsement helped Biden surge past the Democratic primary field, was pushing publicly for Childs on Thursday, suggesting that she could garner support from Republicans, including her home state’s two GOP senators, Tim Scott and Lindsey Graham. Both “have spoken highly of her,” Clyburn said during a Washington Post event.

“There’s nobody sitting on the Supreme Court today that can tout the background, the experience, life and profession that Michelle Childs would bring to the court,” Clyburn added. “Republicans appreciate that as much as Democrats.”

Republicans, who

could regain control the Senate in November’s midterm elections, are currently powerless to stop a nomination if all 50 Democrats align behind Biden’s pick.

But given the razorthin margin, the illness or death of any lawmaker has the potential to change that dynamic and allow the GOP to block the nomination.

In a statement, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Biden “must not outsource this important decision to the radical left.” Later, speaking to reporters in Kentucky, he said he’d give any nominee “a fair look.”

White House press secretary Jen Psaki, asked about Republicans already signaling their likely opposition, offered an implicit response to McConnell, although she did not name him specifically.

“If anyone is saying that they plan to characterize whoever he nominates after thorough consideration with both parties as radical before they know literally anything about who she is, they just obliterated their own credibility,” she said.

Although replacing Breyer with another liberal won’t change the makeup of the court, it could help validate Biden and Democrats in the eyes of voters who elected them but have been frustrated by the party’s inability to advance major pieces of its agenda.

Biden’s fulfillment of his campaign promise to appoint a Black woman to the Supreme Court could solidify his support from a key Democratic constituency. On Wednesday, Psaki dismissed the possibility that Biden might nominate Vice President Kamala Harris, California’s former attorney general, to fill Breyer’s seat, telling reporters that he intends to run for a second term in 2024 with her as his running mate.

Biden said Harris would be one of the people he looks to for advice on selecting his nominee.

“I’ve been on the job a week, so I really can’t take any credit,” said David Gassaway, the interim city manager. “But this project is very exciting.

It makes it more efficient, reduces congestion and creates a gateway for the Heart of Fairfield project.

It’s a great start to all that is coming.”

Project Manager Michele Johnson of Quincy Engineering in Walnut Creek said the project takes away three right turns that were previously needed by bus drivers and pro-

vides a quicker and more safe entry.

“I’ve had the pleasure to be involved from the preliminary drawings to construction,” Johnson said. “We also worked with the Solano Transportation Authority to get the funding that was critical.

It’s not very common to get special dispensation to open access like this.”

Lois Cross, a representative for Rep. John Garamendi, called it an “exciting time for the city of Fairfield.” Cross said she hopes the city and others in the county can “capitalize on the funding as we move into the future” from the recent federal Infrastruc-

ture and Jobs Act. Ron Turner represented state Sen. Bill Dodd and read a proclamation calling the project an “integral component of the Heart of Fairfield Plan.”

Robert McConnell, mayor of Vallejo and chairman of the Solano Transportation Authority board, also complimented the full scope of the transportation center area.

“Bus stops use to be dingy, and look at this facility,” McConnell said.

“It’s phenomenal. It’s clean and attractive, and a marvelous addition to the community.”

From Page One a time of great division in this country.”

“I’m here today to express the nation’s gratitude to Justice Stephen Breyer for his remarkable career in public service and his clear-eyed commitment to making our country’s laws work for its people,” the president added.

Appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1994, Breyer, 83, is the oldest of the three liberals on a court dominated by conservatives. Stepping to the lectern after Biden, Breyer marveled at America being “a complicated country” and quoted the opening lines of President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address that describe a nation “conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”

“We’re now engaged in a great civil war to determine whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure,” Breyer continued, quoting Lincoln and underlining the idea that America’s democratic experiment remained just that.

“An experiment . . . it’s an experiment,” he said.

Declaring that the experiment remained unsettled, Breyer suggested the matter would be determined by future generations and predicted the country would endure.

“I’m an optimist,” he said.

After Breyer concluded his remarks, Biden said he planned to invite him and his wife to stay in the White House’s Lincoln Bedroom so they could view a copy of the Gettysburg Address handwritten and signed by Lincoln. “Bring your grandchildren, so they can see it as well,” Biden added.

In his official resignation letter, Breyer reflected on his time on the court. “I enormously appreciate the privilege

Harris’ Honduras trip returns focus to migration woes Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris has sought to address endemic violence and corruption fueling migration from Central America by bolstering government reforms in the region and combating poverty with private investment.

But Harris’s trip Thursday to the inauguration of Honduran President Xiomara Castro, amid political turmoil in the country, risks underscoring the difficulty in delivering change to a region beset by corruption and chaos.

The White House hopes Castro can usher in a new era for the troubled Central American nation and a break from outgoing President Juan Orlando Hernandez, whom U.S. prosecutors have tied to drug smugglers, an allegation he denies.

Harris was the first world leader to meet with the new president following her inauguration, where the U.S. vice president and the vice president of Taiwan exchanged a fraught greeting.

“It was a pleasure to witness your inauguration, and we look forward to this partnership as a working partnership, as neighbors in this

SAT From Page A6 of the hard sciences and mathematics?”

“What we’re saying is that taking a rigorous pattern of coursework . . . and doing well in those courses is the best predictor of preparing for and doing well in college,” Alva said. “And so it really is about then looking at the strongest predictors and then rounding out . . . [with] talent and motivation and context to ensure that we stay closely aligned with our core values in the CSU for access, opportunity and inclusive excellence.”

Academic Senate Chair Robert Keith Collins told trustees that his faculty group was preparing to formally support the proposal and that members were confident they could work with K-12 educators and one another to ensure that students were prepared for college and could succeed at Cal State.

“This was something we all came to consensus on and something we’re prepared to engage in for the benefit of the students of the state of California,” Collins said.

Students also voiced support.

Student Trustee Krystal Raynes, a Cal State Bakersfield senior, said the Cal State Student Assn. is generally supportive but has not yet formally endorsed the proposal and wondered whether dropping the testing requirements could trigger an influx of students and further crowd campuses.

April Grommo, assistant vice chancellor for enrollment management services, said applications might increase “a little bit” but that Gov. Gavin Newsom has proposed funding this year to increase enrollment.

Newsom’s proposed 2022-23 budget would provide $81 million to Cal State to increase California student enrollment this fall by 9,434 students.

Grommo also told trustees that the admission advisory council opted against recommending optional testing requirements because that would send “mixed messages” to students. “So you really end up in a situation where students feel that they need to take an SAT or ACT in order to get some advantage within the admissions process,” she said.

hemisphere,” Harris told Castro in their meeting.

She said the U.S. would soon ship Honduras several hundred thousand more doses of Covid-19 vaccines, as well as 500,000 pediatric syringes, and would provide $1.35 million for the country’s health system and schools.

Castro took office following an effort to organize the country’s legislative leadership that caused political turmoil in her country. After more than a dozen members of the incoming president’s Libre Party defected – saying they would not support her preferred candidate for Congress president – Castro was forced into eleventh-hour negotiations before her inauguration.

Those talks may have delivered a compromise that allows Castro to sidestep an impasse threatening to undermine

the opening days of her administration. Yet the episode only served to illustrate the long odds Harris faces as she tries to stabilize economies and discourage migration in what’s known as the Northern Triangle of Central America.

“The relationship with the Biden administration should be leveraged in favor of a rigorous addressing of corruption, poverty and violence, and climate change impacts that are driving migration,” said Oscar Chacón, director of Alianza Americas, a network of migrant-led nonprofit organizations.

Harris is renewing her focus on migration after the administration’s push for voting rights legislation – another high-profile issue in her portfolio – faltered earlier this month on Capitol Hill. Additionally, a wave of end-of-year staff departures have drawn critical media coverage of

her office.

For Harris, the challenge will be convincing a skeptical U.S. population that her diplomatic efforts to contain migration have succeeded. Law enforcement encounters at the southern border remain at record levels, with 178,840 apprehensions in December and more than 2 million over the past year, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

The vice president and her staff say her efforts will eventually yield results. Aides who briefed reporters before the trip on the condition of anonymity say Harris is proud of the headway she has made, but recognizes that it will take a committed effort over a sustained period.

Harris secured $1.2 billion in private commitments to promote economic opportunity in Central America, including a pledge from

Microsoft Corp. to provide internet access to more than a million people in Honduras. Parkdale Mills Inc. has said it will open a new yarn-spinning factory

in the country, while coffee companies including Nestle Nespresso SA and Peet’s have said they intend to increase financial support to farmers.

Warriors’ Wiggins, Curry named All-Star starters Tribune Content Agency Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins’ first career All-Star appearance will be as a starter. few Though doubted that Golden State guard Stephen Curry would be named a starter, Wiggins’ inclusion in the Western Conference’s first unit Thursday night came as more of a surprise. This is someone who was just hoping to make his first career AllStar game at all.

But when TNT revealed the West starters, Wiggins’ name was right there alongside four more predictable selections: Curry, Grizzlies guard Ja Morant, Lakers forward LeBron James and Nuggets center Nikola Jokic. James will serve as the captain.

This marks the sixth time in Warriors history that the team has boasted two All-Star starters.

From 2017 to 2019, Curry shared that first unit with Kevin Durant. Curry shared the starting lineup

with Klay Thompson in 2015; Rick Barry and Nate Thurmond both earned the honor in 1967.

“One of the proudest moments, just to see what Wiggs has done since he got here a couple of years ago,” Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said. “The journey he has traveled has been rocky at times, and to see how hard he’s worked and to see all the work rewarded, just could not be happier for him.

“The whole organiza-

tion is glowing right now because of what Wiggs has meant to us. But more importantly, just the way he carries himself. Just a wonderful guy, and he deserves this and we are all thrilled.”

The Eastern Conference starters will be Nets forward Kevin Durant, Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, 76ers center Joel Embiid, Hawks guard Trae Young and Bulls guard DeMar DeRozan.

Durant will serve as

the captain.

The starters were determined by a combination of fan vote (50%), player vote (25%) and media vote (25%).

When the reserves are announced Feb. 3, Warriors forward Draymond Green is expected to be among those selected.

It remains unclear, however, whether Green would be available to play Feb. 20 in Cleveland.

He has been dealing with a back issue for nearly three weeks, and

the Warriors have yet to announce a timetable for his return. The team expects to update his progress Sunday.

But as of Thursday, the Warriors were intent on savoring Wiggins’ special honor. When Golden State acquired him in a blockbuster trade in February 2020, many viewed Wiggins as an overpaid wing who had failed to live up to the hype of being a No. 1 pick, See Starters, Page B2

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel, left, carries the ball during the fourth quarter of the NFC

Divisional Playoff game against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, Jan. 22, in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

From simply bad to Super Bowl contenders: 4 key decisions that turned 49ers’ season around

Chris Biderman

THE SACRAMENTO BEE

L

et’s consider the state of the San Francisco 49ers all the way back on Nov. 8. It was the Monday after the team got shellacked by the division-leading Arizona Cardinals, 31-17, behind backup quarterback Colt McCoy. That game has been a popular discussion point because of how bad things appeared. It was the fifth loss in six weeks.

It negated the positive vibes from the previous Sunday, when the team

ANALYSIS snapped a four-game losing streak with a road win over the Chicago Bears.

The loss to Arizona gave the Cardinals a season sweep of San Francisco and dropped the 49ers’ record to 3-5.

Coach Kyle Shanahan’s team seemed like it was on the brink of collapse, with the decision to keep quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, even after moving heaven and earth to draft Trey Lance, looking like a seasondefining mistake.

Fast forward to late January. The 49ers are one win away from the Super Bowl after road playoff wins over the Cowboys and Packers.

The idea San Francisco would get to this point was laughable based on how things went Nov. 7 against the Cardinals.

They’ll take on the Los Angeles Rams in Southern California on Sunday, a team they’ve beaten six consecutive times, including a season-altering blowout Nov. 15, 31-10.

It took a calm, big-pic-

ture view for Shanahan and his coaching staff to stay the course and get back to a team capable of reaching its championship expectations. The turnaround also took some key decisions to change that trajectory.

Let’s go through four of them.

1. DEEBO SAMUEL, RUNNING BACK Receiver Deebo Samuel had 49 catches for 882 yards during the first eight games of the season. He accounted for 30% of the team’s receptions and 42% of its yards in the passing game.

Ben Roethlisberger officially retires after 18 seasons with Steelers Tribune Content Agency PITTSBURGH — Ben Roethlisberger made official Thursday morning what he has been indicating for weeks – he is retiring after an 18-year career as one of the greatest players in Steelers history.

Roethlisberger made the announcement via a video message on social media and did not conduct a press conference, preferring to do so without fanfare.

“The time has come to clean out my locker, hang up my cleats and continue to be all I can be to my wife and children,” Roethlisberger said in a video posted on his Twitter account. “I retire from football a truly grateful man.”

The official announcement was in direct contrast to the emo-

tional scene that existed for his final home game at Heinz Field on Jan. 3 – a Monday night victory against the Cleveland Browns. It was the final step to retirement after he had cleaned out his locker at the team’s South Side facility earlier in the week.

Roethlisberger told the PostGazette several weeks ago his retirement is final and he does not intend to play for another team.

“I don’t know how to put into words what the game of football has meant to me and what a blessing it has been,” said Roethlisberger, who taped the message sitting on his couch with his wife, Ashley, and three children by his side. “I know with confidence I have given my all to the game. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for all it has given me.”

As the longest tenured player in franchise history, Roethlisberger, 39, led the Steelers to two Super Bowl titles, eight division titles and 165 regular season victories that rank fifth all-time in NFL history.

The 11th overall pick in the 2004 draft, Roethlisberger will finish with the most victories of any quarterback who spent his entire career with one team. Only Tom Brady (243), Brett Favre (186), Peyton Manning (186) and Drew Brees (172) – quarterbacks who played with more than one team – have won more games overall.

Armijo won the JV game 2-1, trailing the first place Vikings 1-0 at the half before getting goals from Dawson Le on a header following an Edwing Saucedo corner kick, and from Jovani Jimenez on a long shot with about four minutes remaining.

Late surge powers Vanden past Wood

16 points and the visiting Vanden High boys basketball team outscored Will C. Wood 7-0 over the final two minutes to pull out a 49-42 Monticello Empire League triumph at Frank Molina Gymnasium, Wednesday.

The Vikings (11-11, 5-0 MEL) led 11-10 after the first quarter, 22-19 at the half and 33-29 after three quarters before pulling away in the closing minutes. They also got nine points from Ahsan Huff, eight from Mikey Johnson and seven from Tyler Thompson with Jayden Robinson hitting three free throws in the decisive fourth quarter.

The Wildcats (15-7, 2-3) were led by DeVan Minouei with 17 points, including all 10 of the team’s points in the first quarter, while Kanye Kroon and Remy Hardin each had six.

“Close game the whole way,” Wood coach Mark Wudel said in an email. “Tied at 42 with 2:00 to go. We missed 3 free throws and had a couple of shots that just wouldn’t fall. They made two free throws and two breakaway layups. One was fouled and made a free throw.”

Ray Holt topped Fairfield with 17, while Jeremiah Cardwell and David Johnson each had 16.

Fairfield’s JV team soared to a 66-49 win behind 20 points from Nicko Ignacio, 14 from Johnnie Jones and 13 from Caedom Lain.

Jaiden Johnson scored 11 points in a losing cause for the Fairfield frosh team, which fell 65-34.

VACAVILLE — Takai Emerson-Hardy netted

Starters From Page B1 become synonymous with losing and struggled with consistency.

With the Warriors, he has begun to shed that unflattering reputation.

Wiggins’ ability to make life difficult on opponents’ top scorers has been a driving force behind the league’s best defense.

Perhaps just as importantly, he has become an efficient offensive player, shooting 48.1% from the field (40.4% from 3-point range).

Being named an AllStar starter represents validation for someone long anchored to the worst of labels. Perhaps it’s fitting that, just a few hours after he learned of his selection, he tipped off against the Timberwolves – the team that had made him a scapegoat of its dysfunction for half a decade.

Asked last week about how it’d feel to make the All-Star team, Wiggins said, “It would be bigtime. It would mean a lot. I feel like I put a lot of work in. A lot of work, a lot of sacrifice. If I was named one, that would be an honor.”

CALMATTERS COMMENTARY

Newsom’s vacillation on vaccinations enters Phase 2

I

s California – and its politicians – ready for VAX War II? More pointedly, is Gov. Gavin Newsom ready?

The Capitol was wracked three years ago by one of the most heated conflicts in its history – legislation to make it more difficult for parents to exempt their children from mandatory vaccinations if they attended public schools. A bill sought to close a loophole that allowed doctors to approve exemptions without specifying reasons, leading to doctor-shopping by anti-vaccination parents.

Hundreds of opponents besieged the Capitol, claiming that the legislation would violate parental rights and require vaccines that could trigger autism or other adverse reactions. The Dan Walters measure’s author, Sacramento Sen. Richard Pan, and other backers were accosted and threatened and on the final night of the legislative session, someone in the Senate gallery threw a cup of what authorities said “appeared to be blood” onto the Senate floor.

Eventually, the bill passed and was signed

by Newsom in his first year as governor, but he engaged in some bizarre political theater before finally acceding.

As the bill was moving through the Legislature, Newsom suddenly demanded a number of changes that weakened its provisions. “I’m a parent,” Newsom said at one point. “I don’t want someone that the governor of California appointed to make a decision for my family.”

After two weeks of private negotiations, he finally accepted a revised version, telling a reporter, “All those amendments, if they’re made, stamp of approval.”

Two-plus months later, however, Newsom did another 180-degree pivot, demanding more changes. Eventually, a final compromise was reached, but Newsom had violated one of the Capitol’s unwritten rules of conduct: once you make a deal, you don’t renege. It drove a wedge between the new governor and lawmakers that affected other issues.

The possibility of renewing superheated vaccination warfare arose this week when Pan, a physician, introduced legislation to close what he regards as a huge loophole in Newsom’s promise to have all school children vaccinated against Covid-19 when vaccines are available for youngsters.

“We have to be willing to take a stand,” Pan said. “We need to be able to respond to this pandemic and future pandemics, but there is this asymmetrical warfare going on right now, and we’re seeing the anti-vaccine movement trafficking in misinformation, threats, and violence.”

Once again, Newsom’s position is uncertain.

When he announced the school vaccination mandate in October, Newsom boasted that California was the first state to impose such a requirement.

“The state already requires that students are vaccinated against viruses that cause measles, mumps, and rubella (so) there’s no reason why we wouldn’t do the same for Covid-19,” Newsom said. “Today’s measure, just like our first-inthe-nation school masking and staff vaccination requirements, is about protecting our children and school staff, and keeping them in the classroom.”

That would seem to be a strong endorsement of mandatory vaccinations. However, Newsom subsequently watered it down, at least verbally, by repeatedly reminding parents that they could opt out under state law’s “personal belief” exemption. Pan’s new bill would eliminate that exemption, leaving only precise medical conditions as a way to avoid vaccination.

Newsom’s new fence-straddling is not going unnoticed.

“He’s trying to be comforting and non-confrontational, but it sends a message that if you don’t want to get the vaccine, don’t get it,” Catherine Flores Martin, executive director of the California Immunization Coalition, told CaliforniaHealthline. “Gov. Newsom struggles with this – he’s trying to have it both ways.”

Yes he is.

COMMENTARY

President Biden, bring home my brother, the last American hostage in Afghanistan

By Charlene Cakora

SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON POST

W

hen I tell people there is still an American held hostage in Afghanistan, half reply with surprise, while the other half thinks there are hundreds. In fact, there is only one known American hostage: my brother, Mark Frerichs.

Mark was kidnapped by an affiliate of the Taliban in Kabul on Jan. 31, 2020. He had been a civil engineering contractor in Kabul for a decade before he was abducted. He was a target of opportunity: From what has been shared with my family and what we understand, his kidnappers misled him by inviting him to a meeting to talk about a project, then took him against his will to a stronghold near the border with Pakistan and later up into the mountains.

American diplomats had an early opportunity to try to bring Mark home – and did not take it. A month after he was abducted, the United States signed a peace accord with the Taliban. Mark’s name apparently was not even mentioned in the leadup, despite the fact that U.S. officials were well aware of his kidnapping.

In the summer of 2020, the Taliban began asking about Bashir Noorzai, an Afghan drug dealer in U.S. custody; it wants to trade him for Mark. I understand Noorzai is a convicted criminal, and I cannot speak to whether he deserves to be released.

But I know we have held him for more than 16 years and that others who have done a lot worse have been sent home. It’s normal for prisoners

to be returned after wars end.

We have had so many opportunities to secure Mark’s release – and two successive administrations have missed every one of them. Each time, there was something more important. We helped facilitate the release of thousands of Taliban prisoners in 2020, but no Mark. We drew down our troop levels at the end of 2020, but no Mark. We evacuated the country in 2021, but no Mark. Since our withdrawal, we have allocated nearly $800 million in aid for Afghanistan since October, but no Mark.

The Biden administration has known since its first day what the Taliban wants in exchange for Mark’s freedom. My understanding is the Taliban has never asked for anything else or anything more and has never entertained any other deals.

It has made this clear to the U.S. government and underscored it to journalists and aid workers.

A few weeks after President Joe Biden’s inauguration, Secretary of State Antony Blinken had a Zoom call with the families of Americans either held hostage or wrongfully detained abroad. I walked away from it encouraged that he understood the urgent need for action and would work to get my brother and others home.

In December, national security adviser Jake Sullivan had another Zoom call with the same group. I heard the same encouraging things, but by that point, I was jaded.

The administration gets good headlines by talking tough about American hostages held abroad. It

mollifies family members so we don’t voice our frustration to the media. Yet if it simply took action to bring our loved ones home, we would sing its praises to the heavens.

I have talked to everyone who will listen. What I have heard consistently from inside and outside the administration is that the decision to make the trade that will bring my brother home rests with the president. We know that he is aware of my brother’s existence – he has mentioned Mark in an address before, though my two requests to speak with him have been turned down – but he has not taken a stance on the trade. Does he know the decision is now up to him? His senior aides are aware of the situation, yet my family is still waiting.

Maybe officials are stalling because they are worried about the midterm elections – though hostages should not be political considerations. Maybe they are trying to find a deal that does not require them to release a bad guy.

Yet there is no other option on the table for me and my family. For us, it is simple: The U.S. government either makes this trade or it doesn’t save my brother’s life. Every day we don’t bring Mark home is another day he remains in danger.

Jan. 31 will mark two years since my brother was kidnapped – and 376 days that the administration has had the ability to act to bring my brother home and has not made a decision.

Charlene Cakora is the sister of Mark Frerichs.

and bad behavior.

A youth sports coach has access to plenty of current events to share as lessons for young players. I’ve used the recent story of former NFL all-pro wide receiver Antonio Brown to discuss the value of appropriate behavior and professional conduct.

His bad attitude and inappropriate behavior has apparently ended his NFL career, costing him millions.

The lesson in that is the significant value of managing your emotions and mental stability.

I highly encourage sports program directors and athletic directors to mandate life skills be implemented in all of their youth sports programs.

That includes community-based sports programs, AAU, grade school, middle school and high school programs as well.

Youth sports coaches are also youth workers. As youth workers, we should be intentional and focused on helping youth grow into responsible adults. Teaching life skills through sports is a great way to improve the quality of life for the youth in your community. Send word to me through my contact information below if you are interested in more youth life skills content for sports programs.

ARTS/SATURDAY ’S GAME S

Young, Kid Rock, Meat Loaf at center of Covid culture war

Crossword

Tribune Content Agency It’s been a banner week for the culture war in rock circles, with Neil Young and Kid Rock rallying their bases on opposite sides of the spectrum.

Kid Rock, the right-leaning rap-rocker from Michigan, released “We the People,” a garish arena-rock anthem that attacks Dr. Anthony Fauci, Covid-19 restrictions, mainstream media and social media, leading to a chorus of “Let’s Go, Brandon!,” code for a wellknown anti-Joe Biden meme.

“Wear your mask. Take your pills. Now a whole generation’s mentally ill,” 52-year-old Kid shouts, while also pointing out that Biden attacked Donald Trump early on for wanting to stop travel from China at the start of the pandemic.

On the other end is the 76-year-old Young, who delivered strident protest anthems against Richard Nixon and George W. Bush during their presidencies while also, at one point, supporting Ronald Reagan.

Young lashed out this week at Joe Rogan for spreading what Young deems to be vaccine “misinformation” by hosting such skeptics as Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Robert Malone on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.

Young asked that his music be removed from Spotify if the streaming platform continues to host its $100 million man.

“I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform,” Young declared in an open letter written to his management Monday. “They can have Rogan or Young. Not both.

“I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines – potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them,” Young added. “Please act on this immediately today and keep me informed of the time schedule.”

The letter has been deleted, but not before both sides ran with it.

A CNN opinion column blared, “It’s Neil Young’s free world, not Joe Rogan’s,” and declared “[Rogan] should be given room to discuss what he wants, even if that offends people who disagree with him politically. But the company should draw the line at dangerous life-threatening conspiracy theories and the kind of misinformation that could result in unnecessary illness and death.

“That’s where Neil Young is drawing the line. Other musicians and podcasters who appear on Spotify should follow suit and use their platforms to tell the company that it does have obligations to the listening public.”

Neil Young performs during Desert Trip at the Empire Polo Field in Indio, Oct. 8, 2016.

On Twitter, Rogan supporters evoked the Lynyrd Skynyrd line of “a Southern man don’t need him around” and either disavowed their Young fandom or asked who he was.

Recent guest Dr. Jordan Peterson tweeted, “I enjoyed listening to you Neil @neilyoung you’ll be missed.”

Evolutionary microbiologist Bret Weinstein, another Rogan guest, tweeted, “In light of Neil Young’s ultimatum to Spotify, ‘The Needle and the Damage Done’ stands to become the most ironic title in the history of music.”

The Daily Show chose to point to the absurd economy of Spotify, tweeting, “Neil Young is gonna regret this when his monthly Spotify checks for $1.37 stop rolling in.”

As for Kid Rock, “We the People” hasn’t been wellreceived by the rock press, but that’s nothing new for the outspoken rocker, who was a guest at Trump’s White House.

Rolling Stone headlined its story, “Kid Rock Calls for ‘Love and Unity’ While Asking Us to ‘Suck on Deez Nuts’ in New Song. We’ll Pass.”

Consequence of Sound ripped into Kid Rock for “a command of rhymes what would have Shakespeare’s jaw on the floor” and mocked him for things like the “pills” line, saying, “perhaps he got it confused with horse paste?,” a

reference to ivermectin, which happens to be one of the drugs that Rogan took when he battled Covid.

This all comes just a few days after the media ran stories questioning the vaccine and mask stances of Meat Loaf in the wake of his death at 74. His cause of death remains unknown.

Nonetheless, Howard Stern, the king of Sirius, just weighed in, urging Meat Loaf’s family to take action.

He said on his radio show, “I wish the family would come forward and say, ‘Ya know, when Meat Loaf was laying there in the hospital and he couldn’t breathe, he said, ‘I made a mistake. I should have taken the vaccine.’ Like all these anti-vaxxers, they all say, ‘I made a mistake.’”

A week prior, Stern addressed anti-vaxxers, saying, “It’s time for you to get it.

Now, if you don’t get it, in my America, all hospitals would be closed to you. You’re going to go home and die. That is what you should get. Absolutely.”

For the most part, fellow artists have been trying to steer clear of these flare-ups.

However, we did get a few words from Young’s old band partner David Crosby, despite them not being on speaking terms.

“Right on Neil,” he tweeted.

In today’s deal, how should South play in three no-trump after West leads the spade queen?

North made a negative double, showing four hearts and 6 or more points, or five or six hearts and 6-9 points. Then, over South’s game-forcing two no-trump, if North had rebid three hearts, he would have reached four hearts. But after three rounds of spades, declarer would have had to ruff with the heart nine or jack to get home.

If I (as West) had been the opening bidder, this would have been easier for South because West would have been marked with both red-suit kings. He could have overcalled with only one of them.

Against us, South took the first trick with his spade king and played three rounds of clubs, ending on the board. Then he led a heart to his queen.

Mopping my perspiring brow, I took the trick and four spades to defeat the contract. South had misread the deal.

If instead declarer had cashed all five clubs, I would have discarded a diamond, but then what?

If a spade or a heart, South can play heart ace, heart queen to get home. If another diamond, South cashes the diamond ace, dropping my king, then exits with a spade. After cashing my winners, I must lead a heart away from my king.

Activision’s next few ‘Call of Duty’ games will be on PlayStation Tribune Content Agency Activision Blizzard Inc. will release at least the next three games in its hit video game franchise “Call of Duty” on Sony Group Corp.’s PlayStation, even after the publisher was bought by rival Microsoft Corp.

Before news of the $69 billion acquisition broke last week, Activision had already committed to make the next few “Call of Duty” games available on Sony’s console, in addition to Microsoft’s Xbox, according to four people with knowledge of the deal, speaking anonymously because they were not authorized to speak to press.

That includes this year’s Call of Duty, expected to be a new entry in the popular Modern Warfare subseries being developed

by Infinity Ward, and the following game, which is in development at Treyarch, both Activision-owned studios. The deal also includes a planned new iteration of “Call of Duty Warzone,” the lucrative free-toplay game that was released in 2020.

Phil Spencer, who was recently appointed chief executive officer of Microsoft Gaming, said last week that he had spoken to Sony leadership about the franchise.

“I confirmed our intent to honor all existing agreements upon acquisition of Activision Blizzard and our desire to keep ‘Call of Duty’ on PlayStation,” he said on Twitter. “Sony is an important part of our industry, and we value our relationship.”

But gamers have been wondering what those “existing agreements” were.

Traditionally, “Call of Duty” games have been released on Xbox, PC and PlayStation, where they drive substantial sales.

“Call of Duty” games have received heavy promotion on the PlayStation store and been tied to massive marketing deals in recent years.

Every game in the annual franchise ranks among the top-selling games on PS4 and PS5. “Call of Duty” games have been the bestselling titles in

People wait in line of to see a demonstration of Call of Duty WWI at the Activision exhibit on opening day of the Electronic Entertainment Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center, June 13, 2017. the U.S. each of the last three years, according to the NPD Group.

For at least the next two years, Microsoft is committed to releasing “Call of Duty” on PlayStation, the people said. Neither Sony, nor Activision responded to requests for comment.

Microsoft declined to comment.

Plans are hazier for the “Call of Duty” games further out, said the people familiar with the matter. Microsoft said it expects the acquisition to close sometime in the next six to 18 months, after which it will be able to decide whether to continue releasing future “Call of Duty” games on PlayStation.

Top employees at Activision have also discussed spacing out “Call of Duty” releases rather than putting them out every year, Bloomberg has reported.

Eventually, Microsoft could deprive its biggest gaming rival of an integral franchise. With some previous acquisitions, Microsoft has honored existing contracts then pivoted.

In 2020, following its acquisition of the game publisher Bethesda Softworks, the tech titan said it would retain all existing contracts and release the previously announced Bethesda games “Deathloop” and “Ghostwire: Tokyo” on PlayStation.

But a few months later, when Microsoft unveiled new Bethesda games “Starfield” and “Redfall,” they were exclusive to the Xbox and Microsoft Windows PCs.

US economy grew 5.7% in 2021, fastest full-year clip since 1984, despite ongoing pandemic

The Washington Post

U.S. economic recovery rebounded at the end of 2021

The U.S. economy grew by 5.7% in 2021, the fastest full-year clip since 1984, roaring back in the pandemic’s second year despite two new virus variants that rocked the country.

The growth came in fits and starts, with a burst of government spending helping propel a fast start, even as a surge in new cases and deaths in the second half of the year created new pressures. The economy grew at a 6.9% annual rate from October to December, the Bureau of Economic Analysis said Thursday, a sharp acceleration from 2.3% in the previous quarter.

In a powerful rebound from 2020, when the economy contracted by 3.4% – its worst result since 1946 – 2021′s strong growth created a record 6.4 million jobs. But it also brought a host of complications, helping fuel the highest inflation in 40 years and creating supply chain snarls as consumers hungry for products overwhelmed the global delivery system.

To beat back rising prices, the Federal Reserve is now shifting its strategy and preparing for interest rate hikes this year, convinced it has given enough support to help the labor market and now must keep the economy from overheating further.

Earlier in the year, economists worried that global supply chain problems would keep businesses from being able to fully stock shelves.

But a rush by companies in the final months of 2021 to bolster their inventories ultimately drove GDP much higher.

Firms such as Georgia’s Agilysys, which specializes in hotel property-management and point-of-sale systems, are building up inventories to guard against supply-chain disruptions and logistical challenges.

Agilysys has increased its inventory levels by 175% in the past nine months to “mitigate supply chain risk,” Chief Financial Officer Dave Wood said on a recent earnings call.

But even that silver lining comes with the reminder of how parts of the economy remain extremely disrupted.

goods, and that’s good,” said Ben Herzon, executive director at IHS Markit. “But it’s also bad, because the economy wasn’t really set up to produce goods at the level that it’s producing now. That’s one of the reasons we’re seeing some of the problems on the supply side.”

Economists expect the economy to grow 3.9% in 2022, according to a survey by Wolters Kluwer’s Blue Chip Economic Indicators. That would represent a second year consecutive year of strong growth, well above what Fed policymakers estimate is the economy’s long-run 1.8% growth rate.

But the 2022 economy will have much less support behind it, as the Fed raises interest rates and Congress appears to have little appetite for more covid-related stimulus. The hope is that households and consumers will be secure enough to keep the economy pumping, even as the pandemic dictates so much about the path ahead.

“While we have reached the end of pandemic era fiscal and monetary policy the pandemic is not yet over,” Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM, wrote in an analyst note Thursday morning. “The rate hikes that are now clearly in play will show up in the final quarter of the year slowing growth. The U.S. consumer and investment in the housing sector will continue to be the primary engine of growth as the economy transitions away from pandemic era fiscal and monetary support.”

The economy has made tremendous strides since being gutted by the coronavirus pandemic in the spring of 2020. The Fed

has only recently mounted an aggressive effort to unwind its pandemicera interventions. And the Biden administration often touts last year’s gains as a vote of confidence for Democrats’ sprawling stimulus measures, which juiced the broader economy and cushioned peoples’ pocketbooks.

“This is no accident,” President Joe Biden said in a statement Thursday morning, referring to the GDP report. “My economic strategy is creating good jobs for Americans, rebuilding our manufacturing, and strengthening our supply chains here at home to help make our companies more competitive.”

U.S. stocks surged Thursday after days of wild swings. The Dow Jones industrial average was up nearly 600 points, or 1.7%. shortly after the opening bell. The S&P 500 and tech-heavy Nasdaq rose 1.7 and 1.5%. respectively. The ongoing volatility suggests Wednesday’s remarks by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell did not go far enough to calm investors about a series of rate hikes expected this year.

GDP, which measures the value of all goods and services produced in the economy, is typically reported after adjusting for inflation. Without inflation, growth in 2021 would have been 10%, meaning some of the year’s growth was offset by rising prices.

Still, Herzon said, the overwhelming stimulus that went into the economy in 2021 helped increase the spending power of many families despite rising prices.

“Inflation had some stiff competition from the federal government,” Herzon said.

Car prices nonetheless weighed on the economy for much of the year.

The cost of new and used models has helped drive inflation throughout the pandemic, as a shortage of semiconductors squeezed the global supply chain.

Thursday’s GDP report noted that private inventory investment from motor vehicle dealers was a leading contributor to growth in the final three months of 2021. But that doesn’t mean that dealerships have been able to fill up their lots and catch up with consumer demand.

Rather, Jonathan Smoke, chief economist at Cox Automotive, noted that the models themselves have gone up in value as car prices surge higher and higher.

“The real driver of the retail inventory measurement was the dollar value, driven by new vehicle price inflation,” Smoke said. “This does not mean that real unit inventories are up substantially – they are not.”

Since the 2020 recession, sports- and recreational-vehicle sales have consistently been among the economy’s brightest spots.

But similar supply-chain issues have dogged the sector. Minnesota-based Polaris, best known for its off-road vehicles, reported retail sales fell by about a quarter in North America in the final three months of the year. Inventories at its dealerships are down 70% from their pre-pandemic levels.

“Predicting when the supply chain pressures ease remain difficult, but our most current view is that modest improvement should start to materialize sometime in the third quarter of 2022,” said Polaris chief executive Michael Speetzen said on a recent earnings call, latter adding that while sales are strong so far this year, semiconductor shortages continue to weigh on production.

Omicron began to rip through the labor market at the end of 2021, with December registering record-high levels of sick leave, according to Liz Wilke, principal economist at Gusto, a payroll and benefits provider.

But the wave is ebbing.

The share of employees taking sick time remains elevated but has fallen by almost a third over the past two weeks.

Energy transition investment follows familiar patterns in global capital markets. Large, established financial institutions supply hundreds of billions of dollars a year to finance construction of long-lived assets using familiar zerocarbon technologies – i.e., deployment.

Smaller institutions (some wellestablished, others quite new) supply tens of billions to fund company formation and the proving-out of new technologies and business models, or innovation.

Last year, energy transition and climate tech – including renewable energy, energy storage, electrified vehicles and heating, hydrogen, nuclear power, sustainable materials and carbon capture – attracted more than $900 billion.

Energy transition pulled in $755 billion, a 25% increase over 2020 investment, double what was invested in 2015, and a more than 20-fold increase since 2004.

A look at this chart reveals something important. Renewable energy is no longer the investment growth driver it once was. With $366 billion invested last year, renewable energy is still a driver of investment volume (it is still almost 50% of all investment). The investment growth distinction belongs to electrified transport, which exceeded $270 billion last year.

Comparing compound growth rates shows these two trends very clearly.

Electrified transport is growing at ten times the rate of renewable energy – and if that rate holds for just one more year, transport will be a bigger driver of energy transition investment than renewable power. It is worth watching energy storage’s growth rate as well, which at more than 30% means the sector investment doubles in a little over two years.

Climate innovation funding reached $165 billion in 2021.

BloombergNEF tracks

climate tech investment by both asset class and sector, and both reveal important trends.

Equity capital markets were open for climate tech at every level last year – the IPO window was wide open, with companies raising more than $40 billion listings. Likewise, the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) market boomed, with more than $35 billion deployed by investors who had raised capital in hopes of buying climate tech companies. The private placement in public equity, or PIPE, market was also liquid, though smaller at just under $14 billion. Secondary share sales by public companies topped $21 billion as well.

That leaves the final, and largest, asset class for climate tech: venture capital and private equity. VC and PE climate tech investment hit almost $54 billion last year. Importantly too, it was fairly consistent throughout the year, whereas public market activity shrunk to nearzero in April and again in October 2021.

Climate tech VC and PE flowed into all sorts of sectors, but transport (41% of total) and energy (27% of total) took in more than two-thirds of all early-stage investment dollars. Agriculture was next, followed by climate and carbon services companies. The buildings sector lagged far behind, raising only 3% of total early-stage climate tech dollars last year.

As climate tech companies mature and move from VC and PE dollars to public markets liquidity, their capital needs increase. Making the move from innovation to deployment is not a matter of degree – it is a matter of orders of magnitude. Even if only a fraction of companies supported by last year’s $54 billion in climate tech VC and PE succeed at global scale, their capital needs for deployment will be in the hundreds of billions of dollars.

US jobless claims decline for first time in 4 weeks Tribune Content Agency Applications for U.S. state unemployment insurance fell for the first time in four weeks, partially unwinding a recent spike in claims due to the omicron variant.

Initial unemployment claims totaled 260,000 in the week ended Jan. 22, down 30,000 from the prior period, Labor Department data showed Thursday. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for 265,000 applications.

Applications declined after a surge in recent

weeks amid an uptick in Covid-19 cases across the country. Claims have largely been falling in the past year as companies are desperate to retain and attract talent amid ongoing labor shortages.

Continuing claims for state benefits advanced to 1.68 million in the week ended Jan. 15.

On an unadjusted basis, claims retreated to 267,573 last week.

All except two states registered declines in unadjusted claims, with Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey posting the biggest decreases.

B10 Friday, January 28, 2022 — DAILY REPUBLIC

49ers: Moves changed course of season TV: Listings From Page B1 Despite that, Shanahan decided to zag and make Samuel a focal point of the running game.

In the Week 10 win over L.A., Samuel had five runs for 36 yards (a 7.2 average) with five catches for 97 yards and a receiving touchdown. He went on to average nearly eight carries per game from that point, including the two playoff contests. He scored all but one of his NFL record eight rushing touchdowns for a wideout in that stretch. He also had the game-winning touchdown run in Dallas in the wild card round.

The 49ers have always liked Samuel with the ball in his hands.

Shanahan dabbled with him as a runner earlier in his career, but never leaned on him to the extent he does now. “(With) Deebo, you didn’t totally know,” Shanahan said after the Rams game about using him at running back. “But you got to see him run screens and how he physically was. It was how he finished screens that we liked so much. He really brought it to people when there was nowhere to go and just having him, you see what he’s good at and you try to put players in position to help them.”

Samuel has become one of the most unique weapons in recent memory. He got a crucial first down on the ground in Green Bay on a third-and-7, ensuring the 49ers would prevent Aaron Rodgers from getting the ball with a chance to score. It led to Robbie Gould kicking the game-winner as time expired.

Samuel in six games against the Rams has 544 yards from scrimmage and five total touchdowns. There’s little doubt he’ll be the 49ers’ most important player when the two teams square off Sunday with a Super Bowl trip on the line.

Francisco suffered that loss to Arizona was the inability to stop the run. The defense allowed a 163 yards on the ground, 13 fewer than the worst mark of the season the previous week in Chicago.

Something had to change because the 49ers wouldn’t be able to get stops if they continued getting gashed by the run.

“It’s pretty embarrassing, and it’s unacceptable, for sure,” linebacker Fred Warner said afterwards. “Just too much leaky yardage. We got to find ways to knock back. When we make contact, they are drawing runs and dribbling for two or three extra yards and that can’t happen.

Missed tackles obviously are going to kill us as well.”

The 49ers the next three games allowed 52, 54 and 67 rushing yards. Not coincidentally, they won all three games over the Rams, Jaguars and Vikings.

The following week they allowed 146 in a loss to the Seattle Seahawks, with exactly half coming on the 73-yard touchdown run off a fake punt in the first quarter.

That was the only game San Francisco allowed more than 100 yards over the final 11 games, including the playoffs. The 49ers finished with the seventh-ranked rushing defense despite playing the “Wide 9” front, which sets defensive ends up well outside the tackles exposing running lanes inside.

“One thing that happens when things aren’t going well, everyone tries to panic and you try to find this reason, that reason,” defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans said Nov. 12. “Everybody just has to hit reset and just get back to doing the basic things the right way.”

The 49ers have made up for it by getting strong play from linebackers Warner, Azeez Al-Shaair and Dre Greenlaw, who returned from an early season groin injury. Warner admitted to not having a strong start to the season,

Certainly not. Are his games roller-coaster rides because he has a tendency to throw maddening

interceptions (and other passes that get dropped or misplayed by defenders)? Absolutely. Does he have a tendency to miss wide open receivers on deep plays? You betcha.

But one thing is unequivocal about Garoppolo for the 49ers this season. He has been part of the solution for fixing things when it could have gone the other way had he benched for Lance.

A key characteristic of this 49ers team throughout this playoff run has been resiliency. And perhaps no one on the roster has been more resilient than Garoppolo. After all, the team invested three first-round picks in his eventual replacement, yet he stuck around like a (handsome) cockroach and was a model citizen throughout.

He’s played well in key moments, like the game tying drive when the season was on the brink Week 18. The 49ers were down a touchdown with 1:27 left and no timeouts. He led a five-play, 83-yard scoring drive to tie it before winning in overtime.

Saturday in Green Bay, despite playing poorly while the offense struggled throughout, Garoppolo hit Samuel and tight end George Kittle on short throws to set up the game-winning field goal, overcoming a first half in which he completed 3 of 9 throws for 43 yards while Kittle, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings had key drops and the offensive line was getting dominated by the Packers defensive front.

Shanahan had every opportunity to bench Garoppolo in favor of Lance throughout the season. But he stuck with the veteran despite the 3-5 start, the maddening plays and the thumb injury Dec. 23. To this point, it’s paid off, and what a story it would be if Garoppolo helped the 49ers reach the Super Bowl after the team told the world he needed replacing.

3. MOVING ARIK ARMSTEAD INSIDE Things seemed bleak for the 49ers defensive line when they lost 2020 first-round pick Javon Kinlaw and Pro Bowl pass rusher Dee Ford midway through the season. But the defensive line is surging in the playoffs, with San Francisco boasting arguably the best pass rush of the four teams still alive.

Much of that, of course, can attributed to Nick Bosa, one of the best pass rushers and defensive linemen in the entire NFL. Another big development was moving Arik Armstead inside on a more permanent basis after he spent a bulk of his snaps playing defensive end.

Armstead moved inside predominately Week 5, after Kinlaw was put on season-ending injured reserve to have knee surgery. He had one sack during the first eight games. He has seven sacks since, including six over the last four games (including two postseason contests), with five coming on third down.

Bosa, meanwhile, had 15.5 sacks in the regular season with a half sack in Dallas and two in Green Bay. Much of his production recently has come playing next to Armstead, where the two have replicated what Bosa had playing alongside All-Pro DeForest Buckner when the team had the best defensive line in the NFL during the Super Bowl run in 2019.
