THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Wanda Williams started the Solano County 3rd District Board of Supervisors runoff against Chuck Timm with a slim 288 vote lead from the primary, and carried that advantage through the ballot count Tuesday night.

“Just being thankful for the trust of the voters; that they trust me to look after them,” Williams said after the 9:13 p.m. results were posted by the county Registrar of Voters Office. They showed she was leading with 56.3% of the vote. “But we are still waiting . . . on all the rest of the numbers.”

Timm also was eagerly waiting for the later counts, and said the later returns will benefit him, and the margin had been shrinking with each update.

“We figured that the early returns would favor (Williams) and the later returns would start to favor me,” said Timm, who had 4,446 votes (43.7%) to Williams’ 5,729 votes.

FAIRFIELD — Solano County voters were dousing the county’s effort to generate $9 million a year for fire protection and prevention.

Measure E, a oneeighth cent countywide general sales tax increase, was losing with 53.31% opposition in the early Tuesday voting.

The vote count was 36,388 to 31,870 as of the 10:15 p.m. update from the Solano County Registrar of Voters Office.

“The scenario that will play out will be very sad and very tragic,” Supervisor Jim Spering said, the interview taking place prior to the polls closing Tuesday.

He said the LNU Lightning Complex Fire came extremely close to burning homes in Vacav-

ille and Fairfield, and the next wildfire could reach the cities.

Supervisor John Vasquez, who along with Spering fronted the effort to get the measure on the ballot, could not be reached for comment late Tuesday night.

Spering, who will be leaving the board at the end of the year, said the special districts and the city fire departments are going to have work together moving forward, developing some kind of plan with the existing resources.

But the county “cannot sit on the sidelines,” Spering said.

“I think the county needs to look at funding a position to help with that coordination,” Spering said. “And I think the districts are going to have to find solutions.”

SUISUN CITY — Larry Brumfield will be the next mayor of the city, but if the oath of office is not administered until after the election is certified, his tenure could be counted in minutes, not weeks or even days.

That is up to the city,

FAIRFIELD — Voting results late Tuesday for the Fairfield mayor’s post did little to settle who will be the winner.

The Solano County Elections office reported, at 10:28 p.m., that Councilwoman Catherine Moy had taken the lead for the first time over fourtime incumbent Mayor Harry Price.

Moy had collected 6,599 votes, or 42.37%,

FAIRFIELD — There will be at least two new members on the City Council, but Doriss Panduro appears, after the early voting Tuesday night, to be on her way to being re-elected as the representative for District 5.

This time she gets a full four years.

Councilman Chuck Timm opted not to seek re-election and instead sought to replace Jim Spering on the Solano County Board of Supervisors. That left his District 1 seat on the council open.

K. Patrice Williams, trailing in second in the vote count early on, took over the lead when the 10:15 p.m.

results were posted.

She had 1,049 votes (35.04%). Nora Dizon dropped into second with 1,028 votes (34.34%) and George Kennedy had 917 votes (30.63%).

It is still to be determined if Catherine Moy’s time on the council dais will be coming to an end with the mayor’s race still close, but she will not be the District 3 representative.

Doug Carr appears to be on his way to a victory with 1,439 votes (63.09%), while David Verza had 842 votes (36.91%), the Elections Office reported.

Panduro’s most significant challenger was the Rev. Scott Mulvey.

My husband and I share a I lost my first husband to cancer big “blended” family with five some 20 years ago. He was a children, their “others” and high school teacher, basketball nine grandchildren.

His years of teaching demic kept us apart) most and coaching brought a lot of of us have been together for teenagers into our lives. A few Thanksgiving. of them lived with us for a while.

Chip was just starting his senior year of high school when his dad’s job required them to relocate. Chip asked if he could live with us until he graduated. We said yes, if he didn’t mind sleeping in the attic. If he minded, he never complained.

Our children were 8, 5 and 2.

Chip gave them lessons in ping pong and basketball. They gave him headaches and chickenpox.

Somehow we survived that year.

Then Chip left for college, got a master’s degree in finance and landed a job that took him around the world.

He’d call me and say, “Guess where I am now.”

I never guessed right. He’d visit once a year or so and often phoned, especially after the Coach became ill. He couldn’t make it to the memorial service, but came to see me soon after.

I remember the day he called to say he was getting married in Holland, and that I had to come be his “Best Man.” Which I did.

There were other memorable calls: When he and his wife learned they were with child; when his daughter was born; and when he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

Over the years, as MS took its toll on his health, Chip and his wife and daughter have lived and worked all over the world.

Today, when I apologized for not calling sooner, he laughed at me. He does that a lot. Then we spent a good hour catching up on each other’s life and loves.

His daughter is a senior in high school, the age Chip was when we met. They recently took a two-week trip to visit schools she might attend in various countries next year.

Finally, Chip gave me the really big news: “Four months ago,” he said, “I started a new kind of therapy. And now I’m climbing stairs with no pain.”

Two memories flashed into my mind. In one, he was sitting in a wheelchair. In the

other, he was shooting hoops in my backyard.

We said goodbye with a promise to talk soon. Then I sat for a while, celebrating an early Thanksgiving, overcome with gratitude for Chip’s good news.

Family is more than blood kin. It’s every soul we hold dear.

And Thanksgiving is more than a holiday. It’s every moment in life when we are truly thankful.

We don’t need to be in the same room with our loved ones to count our countless blessings.

We just need to remember we’ll be forever in each other’s heart.

Whether you’re cooking for a crowd or celebrating alone, I wish you a true Thanksgiving.

Please stop licking psychedelic toads, National Park Service warns and there is no data to suggest it is widespread, the practice is well known in popular culture and among celebrities.

Bufotenin, a white milky substance also known as “5-MeO-DMT,” is a natural psychedelic that the toads secrete, according to Drug Science, an international scientific research group.

It can be snorted, inhaled or smoked and induces a “short but intense psychedelic experience or ‘trip’ “ of around 30 minutes, with hallucinogenic effects that are “significantly stronger” than those induced by the primary psychoactive molecule found in the similar substance ayahuasca, the group said.

The research body said it is a “popular myth” that people can get high by licking toads. In fact, it can be “dangerous,” causing poisonings and even fatalities in humans, the group said.

Prominent figures including former boxing champion Mike Tyson,

The Washington Post The U.S. government has an unusual request: Please don’t lick psychedelic toads.

The National Park Service issued a warning this week to visitors to refrain from licking the large Sonoran Desert toad as they try to reach a state of hallucinogenic enlightenment from the “potent toxin” that the amphibians naturally secrete.

These toads, also known as Colorado River toads, “have prominent parotoid glands that secrete a potent toxin,” the Park Service advised.

“It can make you sick if you handle the frog or get the poison in your mouth,” it warned.

“As we say with most things you come across in a national park, whether it be a banana slug, unfamiliar mushroom, or a large toad with glowing eyes in the dead of night, please refrain from licking.”

While it’s unclear how many people are wandering through national parks in search of toads,

comedian Chelsea Handler and President Biden’s son Hunter Biden have publicly discussed 5-MeO-DMT therapy or toad-venom rituals.

British scientist James Rucker, a psychiatrist at King’s College London, told The Washington Post on Tuesday that he welcomes the warning, referencing reports of people licking the coldblooded creatures in Asia and elsewhere outside the United States. “I imagine the vast majority of people are looking for a cheap psychedelic experience,” he said. “I would caution people against it.”

The bufotenin chemical and other naturally occurring drugs can be “transformative,” with potential benefits to those suffering from depression and alcoholism, said Rucker, who carries out similar clinical research trials. “They stir up the mind, and they can induce feelings of euphoria and ecstasy,” he added.

However, he cautioned that they can also induce

panic, paranoia and severe anxiety, as well as bring up buried feelings that can be hard to process and manage without professional support.

The drugs are often described as “amplifiers of the psyche,” said Rucker. “They can be very positive, beautiful, aweinspiring experiences,” he said, and “catalyze a reconnection with the self and others.” But he warned that people should be wary of the “hype and hope” associated with such psychedelic drugs.

Bufotenin can also be found in some trees and plants, and its use in seeds as “shamanic

snuffs” can be traced back almost 3,000 years in spiritual ceremonies in Venezuela, Colombia and Brazil, according to Drug Science. The chemical works by quickly passing the blood-brain barrier and emulating the neurotransmitter serotonin, which leads to hallucinations and a euphoric mood, among other impacts.

The substance is mostly illegal in the United States, classified as a Schedule I drug with no approved medical use.

However, the secretions can have some limited use in research, with approval from the Drug Enforcement Administra-

tion and the Food and Drug Administration.

Calling the creatures “toad-ally terrifying,” the Park Service described the Sonoran Desert toad as one of the largest toads found in North America, usually measuring about seven inches long. The chunky, shortlegged amphibians normally make a “weak, low-pitched toot, lasting less than a second,” in their call, it added.

The somewhat solitary toads are found in parts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and sometimes California, and they generally live at least 10 years.

Planning Commission to review Heart of Fairfield zoning adjustments THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — A section of the Solano County zoning regulations that would have allowed for stand-alone wine tasting rooms in Agriculture Tourism Centers, and addressed a number of other agritourism uses in Suisun Valley, was pulled from last week’s Planning Commission agenda due to concerns raised by members of the ag community.

Alan Calder, the county planning manager, said the concerns largely centered around the intent of the language. He said members of the ag community did not think the proposed changes are precise enough.

“So we want to clarify the language,” said Calder, who plans to meet with those ag interests, again.

The section also addressed such issues as bakeries, cafes and restaurants; galleries; hotels and resort hotels; special events facilities; bed and breakfast inns; tasting facilities; local products stores; and agricultural homestays, which would be restricted to a singlefamily dwelling with no accessory structures for tourism rental.

The other regulatory sections, described by staff a mostly tech-

for the upcoming year.

Also up for consideration is a change to the board’s meeting days and times for the year, including the possibility of going to only meeting once a month rather than meeting two times a month.

All the proposed changes will be considered for approval Dec. 15 at the board’s organizational meeting.

The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. Thursday at the district’s central office, 2490 Hilborn Road in Fairfield. People may view the meeting online at the district’s Youtube channel. An agenda for the meeting is available at https:// go.boarddocs.com/ca/ fsusd/Board.nsf/Public.

FAIRFIELD — Trustees of the FairfieldSuisun School District on Thursday will hear updates and review proposed changes for the coming year.

Various additions and changes to board policies will be included with the board handbook once approved, along with changes to Board Offices and Board Subcommittee/Joint Committee members for the 2023 calendar year.

The board will take a look at the district’s bylaws and discuss any changes they would like to make. Trustees will also look at the proposed school calendar Aaron Rosenblatt/Daily Republic

The plan guides this growth using design guidelines, prototypes, and public realm and streetscape guidelines.”

The changes include eliminating “assembly and fabrication industries, warehousing, distribution centers, administrative offices and business support services” from the West Texas Street urban mixed-use corridor.

However, it adds uses in that corridor, and other specifically stated districts, to include: building and landscape material sales; commercial plant nursery-landscape; commercial or nonprofit animal kennel; personal care and domestic services; and recycling collection facility-small use.

Other uses being added include boarding house, both small and large; single-family homes; garage

conversions; garage and estate sales; and home occupation as defined as “an occupation conducted within a dwelling unit by person(s) residing on the property.”

Noncommercial animal, fowl and beekeeping will be allowed in various districts as well.

Transportation allowances for helipads and heliports, transit station or terminal, and private transportation services, defined as “establishments providing non-public transportation services for a fee, including limousine, bus, taxi or airport shuttle services” also are part of the new uses. This use includes “storage of vehicles, offices and maintenance facilities related to the transportation service.”

Building heights also are redefined for the various districts.

FAIRFIELD — The city Planning Commission on Wednesday will conduct a public hearing and consider proposed revisions to the Heart of Fairfield zoning districts, expanding permitted uses, curtailing other uses and better defining activity and amenity zones.

An activity zone is an “area between the sidewalk and a building reserved for landscaping, specialized events, outdoor restaurant seating and dining, recreation or other formal activities.” An amenity zone is “the area between the roadway and sidewalk that is primarily used for landscaping, green infrastructure (bioswales) and lighting. This area may also be used for outdoor activities and furniture near mixed use and commercial uses.”

The commission meets at 6 p.m. in the council chamber at City Hall, 1000 Webster St. “The Heart of Fairfield is a social, economic and cultural center for Fairfield, a distinct destination that attracts the community through thoughtful design, desired shopping and dining, lively activities, ranges of housing and convenient access to regional transit. It is the place where residents, workers, visitors, tourists and people from all over Fairfield and the region come to meet, gather, thrive and celebrate community milestones,” the staff report to the commission states.

“The plan envisions up to 1,600 new residential units and up to 140,000 square feet of new commercial and office space developed in an urban, mixed-use environment.

This new development will complement and build upon the existing traditional ‘street grid’ character of Down-

A rezoning application for 5.2 acres of property northwest of the intersection of Shelton and Cromwell lanes in rural Vacaville was approved. The zoning goes from Rural Residential, with a 5-acre lot minimum, to Rural Residential, with a 2.5-acre lot minimum. Staff indicated the change cleans up some compliance issues on the property.

The applicant, Scott Seibel, will come back to the zoning administrator

for consideration of a lot line adjustment.

A decision on a use permit application for an existing special events center at Bella Vista Farms, 7108 Rio Dixon Road, was delayed by the commission until the Board of Supervisors addresses some zoning text changes that could affect the project’s parking lot.

Bellas Vista Farms has been operating the facility without a permit, so this also was viewed as a compliance action.

Supervisors salute vets of US armed forces, recognize Veterans Day Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors on Tuesday opened their meeting by honoring the men and women who have served – and those currently serving – the United States in the armed forces.

Veterans Day is Friday.

“On Veterans Day, our beautiful and historic County of Solano pauses to honor and pay tribute to all who have served or are serving in our military because each time our values have come under assault, they have responded with resolve, and their service, valor and sacrifice have allowed our republic to flourish, and our great nation acknowledges our profound debt of gratitude to the patriots who have kept our union whole,” the resolution adopted by the board states.

It goes on to state, “We are mindful that no cer-

emony can fully repay our debt of gratitude to our service members and veterans, and we remember that our obligations endure long after the battle ends, and we must make it our mission to give them the respect and care they have earned so when they return home, they can continue to serve our country in new ways, bringing their tremendous skills to our communities and to the workforce, and these honorable men and women should have the chance to contribute because their talents demand it and because no one who fights for our great nation should have to fight again for dignity, health and social services, and for educational, housing and employment opportunities.”

Board Chairman John Vasquez noted the diversity of the military service, and on Election Day, specifically recognized that one of the rights the mil-

itary protects for American citizens is the right to vote.

Vasquez, who served in the National Guard in California and Alaska, is the only member of the board who has VASQUEZ served in uniform.

Al Sims, the county Veteran Services director, called Solano the best community he has ever lived in with regard to its support for the military, adding he has lived in WIMMER many places across the country and around the world.

Wimmer, ​​Virginia deputy secretary representing 163,000 women veterans at the California Department of Veterans Affairs, started her career in Solano County and said it was Solano that shaped the kind of veterans advocate she has become.

Veterans Day originated as Armistice Day, and is celebrated Nov. 11 because it was on that date in 1918 that World War I ended.

The first Armistice Day was held the next year.

It became an annual observance in 1926, a national holiday in 1938 and was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.

More than 1.3 million Americans have died fighting in various wars. Solano County has 487 local men and women whose names are etched into a memorial at the Solano County Old Courthouse. There are 332 from World War II; 61 from Vietnam; 60 from World War I; 26 from Korea; and eight who have died in the war on terrorism.

VALLEJO — The 16th annual Lost Boats of Mare Island Memorial and Dockside Tribute for the 573 crew members of Mare Island submarines who were lost during World War II will take place from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Sunday.

The event will be held at the historic World War II Landing Craft Support Gunboat 102 berthed at Berth 6 at A Street

and Nimitz Avenue. The service includes the laying of the memorial wreath in the Napa River/Mare Island Strait.

“We hope people will join us in honoring these men who gave their lives during World War II in service of the U.S. Navy and the people of this nation. We have a privilege and responsibility to remember the lost crewmen and to honor all of those who have served our country in the submarine force. And, as

importantly, we owe the men and women who built and maintained ships such as these seven submarines at Mare Island a debt of gratitude,” Myrna Hayes, Lost Boats of Mare Island Memorial organizer, said in a statement.

Larry Maggini, cofounder of the annual lost submarine memorial, will give a presentation.

Jaime Esparaza filmed the 2020 Lost Boats of Mare Island Memorial. It can be viewed at https:// youtu.be/GYkr6kkvBR8.

MIDTERM ELECTIONS 2022

DAILY REPUBLIC — Wednesday, November 9, 2022 A5

Voters elect Gov. Gavin Newsom to a second term

By Taryn Luna

LOS ANGELES TIMES

SACRAMENTO — California voters on Tuesday handed Gavin Newsom a second term as governor, choosing the incumbent over an unfamiliar Republican state senator from Lassen County who struggled to compete with the Democratic political heavyweight.

The race was called by the Associated Press shortly after polls closed at 8 p.m.

The election solidifies the 55-year-old Democrat’s success at the ballot box. Newsom captured the governor’s office in 2018 with the biggest margin of victory in more than half a century and buried the GOP-led effort to recall him by the same advantage three

Gavin Newsom holds a news conference after taking a tour of the site of a behavioral health and transitional housing facility in Los Angeles County, Jan. 31. years later.

After easily defeating Brian Dahle, the socially progressive governor returns for another four years to lead a state on the verge of becoming the fourth-largest economy in the world while simul-

taneously experiencing record homelessness, a dire shortage of affordable housing and rising crime.

As he cast his ballot in downtown Sacramento Tuesday morning, the governor pledged to continue to focus on the problems

plaguing the state.

“I think we’re at a point where people are done with the rhetoric, they’re done with the fingerpointing,” Newsom said.

“We’re able to turn the page after the campaign, and it’s all about producing results every single day and proving, not just asserting, ourselves and I’m looking forward to that in a second term.”

Tuesday ended an unusually quiet campaign from a governor who vigorously defended himself against the recall effort last year.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders all stepped up in 2021 to support Newsom with appearances on the

campaign trail and in advertisements, helping the governor’s political team cast his top replacement opponent, Larry Elder, as a Trumpaligned extremist.

This time around Newsom didn’t call in any big name political reinforcements, and he seldom acknowledged his opponent. The governor ran only one television advertisement that called out Dahle’s opposition to abortion in May, days after a draft of the U.S. Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade made headlines, and participated in one debate against his opponent.

A 56-year-old seed and livestock farmer, Dahle served 16 years on his local Board of Supervisors before his election

to the California Assembly in 2012 and to the state Senate in 2019.

Though a seasoned politician and well-liked in Sacramento by lawmakers of both parties, Dahle faced insurmountable odds.

“I am not willing to leave this broken California to my children, your children and our grandchildren,” Dahle said in Redding as he declared his intent to run in February. “I cannot stand aside and watch corrupt one-party rule continue to poison the future of our state.”

But Dahle failed to overcome the fundamental problems he started with nine months ago: An inability to raise enough money to spread that message.

Republicans confident of House Padilla is first control, but Senate is uncertain California Latino elected to U.S. Senate Los Angeles Times

WASHINGTON — The balance of power in Congress was still in question Tuesday after after polls closed in much of the East and governors races in Florida, Massachusetts and several other states were called.

Despite nationwide anxiety, there were no reports of political violence or widespread problems at the polls in the first major test of the country’s democracy since the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. Localized problems with voting machines were reported in the Phoenix area and some other jurisdictions.

Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Florida Republican and potential 2024 presidential candidate, had his reelection called early in the onetime swing state.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who was a White House press secretary under former President Donald Trump, won Arkansas’ gubernatorial race as one of several acolytes around the country who are expected to push the GOP further toward the former president’s corner.

Democrats picked up two governorships as Maura Healy and Wes Moore won races in Massachusetts and Maryland, replacing two of the nation’s few remaining moderate Republican officials – neither of whom were up for reelection.

Republicans, favored to take at least one chamber of Congress, were ahead in several key House races. But it was too early to make any sweeping conclusions or call races in battleground Senate races.

Democrats are hoping that alarms over democracy and the loss of nationwide abortion rights will help them preserve their 50-50 control of the Senate and also win several key governors races.

But Republicans are bullish that inflation, crime and other dayto-day concerns, coupled with President Joe Biden’s low approval ratings, will give their party an advantage.

History and public opinion polls favor Republicans, especially in the House, where Democrats currently hold 220 seats, just two more than the 218 needed for a majority.

In midterm elections since World War II, the president’s party has almost always lost seats.

A GOP majority in the House would likely elevate Rep. Kevin McCarthy, a Bakersfield Republican who now serves as minority leader, to the speakership he has

By Seema Mehta LOS ANGELES TIMES

Kent Nishimura/Los Angeles Times/TNS file

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., center, in April 2022 on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. coveted for years. It would almost certainly end the political career of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, one of the most consequential speakers in history.

Election forecasters expect Republicans to pick up between 12 and 30 House seats – a comparatively small haul by historical standards, but more than enough for a majority.

A larger GOP gain is possible: In the closing weeks of the election season, Republican campaign committees poured money into races in blue states such as California and New York, putting Democrats on defense in territory Biden won solidly two years ago.

But in areas the president narrowly won in some battleground or red states, some Democratic incumbents appear stronger, including Rep. Sharice Davids in Kansas and Michigan Rep. Dan Kildee.

“This is a very unique cycle,” said David Wasserman, a congressional forecaster for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.

“It’s not an anti-incumbent election. It’s a red-state-versusblue-state split screen.”

Republicans may reclaim the House majority before California’s races are called, but the contests in the state will affect the size of the margin and the number of loyal allies McCarthy can depend on in his bid for the speakership.

The two parties entered election day virtually deadlocked on the generic congressional ballot, with voters preferring Republicans by a 1-point lead in the latest polling average by FiveThirtyEight.com.

The Senate, which the Demo-

cratic caucus controls with Vice President Kamala Harris’ tiebreaking vote, is harder to predict. That’s largely because several candidates who won Republican nominations with the backing of former President Donald Trump and his supporters have struggled to gain an advantage over potentially vulnerable Democratic incumbents.

In Georgia, for example, former football star Herschel Walker has been locked in a tight race with incumbent Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock. Tech investor Blake Masters in Arizona has consistently trailed incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly in polls, although the race remained close. And in New Hampshire, polls showed retired Army Gen. Don Bolduc consistently trailing Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan.

In Pennsylvania, Mehmet Oz, a Republican and well-known former TV personality who won Trump’s backing, trailed his Democratic opponent, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, through the summer, but the race has grown tighter in recent weeks.

Another marquee Senate race is in Nevada, where Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto faces a strong Republican challenger in former state Atty. Gen. Adam Laxalt.

The election comes just days after an attack on Paul Pelosi, the speaker’s husband, heightened fears of more widespread political violence as Trump continues to spread the lie that he won the 2020 election.

The former president has promoted candidates who have helped him amplify his rhetoric and call for action.

Measure to add abortion rights to California Constitution takes big early lead in voting

By Ari Plachta THE SACRAMENTO BEE

Abortion rights appeared to be on their way to becoming enshrined in the California Constitution Tuesday as Proposition 1 received strong support in early voting.

The measure, which was expected to pass, leads with 70.6% of voters saying “yes” and 29.4% “no.” The decisive win would cement California’s role as a national

leader in protecting abortion access.

Similar proposed amendments are also on the ballot in Michigan and Vermont, where early results show them both passing with 54.8% and 80.8% of the vote, respectively.

From an election watch party in Sacramento, Senate President pro Tempore Toni Atkins celebrated with other Democratic leaders.

“Tonight we celebrate reproductive freedom

and that loud, clear message that abortion is and forever will be protected in California,” she said. “This is a historic moment, and we have met it with a historic response.”

Proposition 1 asked voters to explicitly insert a fundamental right to reproductive freedom, including the right to have an abortion and use contraceptives, in the state constitution.

It was placed on the ballot by California law-

makers following the Supreme Court’s June decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which had protected abortion rights at the federal level for nearly a half-century.

The reversal of Roe v.

Wade did not limit access to abortion in California.

State law protects the procedure to the point of fetal viability, and the constitution already includes a right to privacy. Generally, fetal viability occurs about 24 weeks into a pregnancy.

LOS ANGELES — Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla made history again Tuesday night when he became the first Latino to be elected to represent California in the U.S. Senate.

The 49-year-old broke a barrier in 2021 when he was sworn in to fill Kamala Harris’ seat after she became vice president. His appointment

by Gov. Gavin Newsom was celebrated as providing representation for the large and growing Latino population in the state. On Tuesday, voters chose Padilla to complete Harris’ term through Jan. 3 as well as for a full six-year term of his own. In both elections, he defeated GOP attorney Mark Meuser.

“We have a hell of a fight ahead of us, and I’m heading back to the Senate ready to help lead that fight,” Padilla said, adding that he would prioritize job creation, climate change, immigration reform, reproductive rights and

the protection of Social Security and Medicare.

The party in control of the White House almost always loses congressional seats in the first midterm election during its term. President Joe Biden is facing particularly strong headwinds because of his lackluster approval ratings, combined with voter discontent fueled by inflation.

But even in tough years for Democrats, California can be an outlier, with red waves stopping at the state’s border.

In 2010, when tea party-stoked Republicans picked up more than 60 House seats in races across the nation – the largest gain in more than half a century – California Democrats ran the table in statewide races and didn’t lose a single seat in the state’s congressional delegation.

Every statewide office here is almost certain to remain occupied by Democrats, as they have since 2011. But the party’s prospects in Congress are uncertain.

Dialysis industry poised to win again Tribune Content Agency Proposition 29 is headed for a resounding defeat, as initial election results were posted on Tuesday evening, showing the “Yes” vote trailing by 40 points. If these results hold, the dialysis industry will have successfully defeated new regulations at the ballot box for the third election in a row.

Dialysis clinics are where about 80,000 Californians with kidney disease go to get treatments two to three times a week, an expensive and life-saving procedure.

Proposition 29 was the latest attempt by the Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West union (SEIU-UHW) to impose new regulations, even after voters rejected the union’s attempts twice before, in 2020 and in 2018.

The spending trends by each side were telling: The dialysis companies spent over $100 million in 2018 and again in 2020. This time, as of late October 2022, they had poured $86 million into opposing Proposition 29, but the union hardly campaigned.

COMMENTARY

California campaigns irrelevant, vapid

C

alifornia has many serious, even existential, public policy issues that urgently need political attention – the nation’s worst poverty and homelessness, shortages of housing, water and electrical power, and a public school system that’s mediocre at best, to name the most obvious.

Did you hear any of those issues debated – or even mentioned – to any noticeable degree during the campaigns leading up to Tuesday’s election? No, which is why this is the most dismally irrelevant election in recent California history.

Upwards of a billion dollars has been spent on voters to vote Dan Walters persuading for and against candidates and mostly special interest ballot measures, half of it on two sports wagering measures that seemed destined to fail. Virtually none of the countless television, radio and online ads even mentioned any of those real world issues.

Instead, we heard a lot of noise about crime from Republicans in their mostly unsuccessful efforts to regain relevance in California. We heard even more noise from Democrats about abortion, including a ballot measure to enshrine in the state Constitution rights that are already protected by law and state Supreme Court decisions.

The measure, placed on the ballot by the Legislature after the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the Rose v. Wade decision, is clearly aimed at getting more Democrats to vote and thereby helping the party win the state’s very few true partisan contests.

Most of those contests are in a handful of congressional districts and their outcome theoretically could – but probably won’t – determine which party controls the House of Representatives.

With the exception of those few congressional seats, the overall outcome of the election is largely preordained. Democrats who hold statewide office, including Gov. Gavin Newsom and Sen. Alex Padilla, will win new terms. With their victories assured, neither has made more than token efforts at campaigning and Newsom spends most of his time these days building a national image.

The only possible exception to a Democratic sweep of state offices is a very, very outside chance that a Republican could become state controller as the office is vacated due to term limits.

Democrats will continue to have overwhelming majorities in the state’s congressional delegation and both houses of the Legislature. Most of the expensive legislative duels pit Democrats against each other, reflecting some slight ideological differences and a sharp personal duel between two Democrats over who will be speaker of the Assembly.

The paucity of real contests for statewide, legislative and congressional offices means Tuesday’s most important California election was for mayor of Los Angeles.

It’s not only the state’s largest city, but one of its most troubled with immense amounts of poverty and homelessness, rising crime, political corruption, a lackluster economy and racial conflict.

The current mayor, Eric Garcetti, is virtually absent without leave. His 2020 presidential bid went nowhere and while conditions in his city deteriorated he’s spent the past 16 months trying, probably in vain, to win Senate confirmation as ambassador to India.

Democratic Rep. Karen Bass has all of the usual endorsements to succeed Garcetti and should have been a shoo-in. However, Rick Caruso, a very wealthy real estate developer and philanthropist, spent millions of his own dollars and tapped into voter discontent with the status quo to make it a real contest.

The two rivals have gone toe-to-toe over how they would handle the squalor of homeless encampments that clog the city’s sidewalks and other issues that make the City of Angels a highly concentrated microcosm of the entire state’s ills.

The intensity and relevance of the BassCaruso duel underscore just how vapid the other campaigns have been.

mansion. Although it would be tempting. I’d donate it to a zoo. Perhaps I would start a Fairfield zoo.

What’s fascinated me about lotteries like the $2 billion Powerball is how people who don’t normally play the lottery will plunk down a few dollars when it gets high enough. Why? Their odds of winning are no greater with a larger jackpot. The current Powerball jackpot has reverted down to $20 million. Probably the majority of folks who purchased tickets for the $2 billion jackpot aren’t going to lay $2 down for the current jackpot. Why? Is $20 million too little?

Am I a regular lottery player? No. But occasionally buying a ticket is like the adult version of sliding a quarter into a gumball machine.

Some will always see playing the lottery as a failing proposition. But they have zero chance and players have a chance. Plus, you actually are purchasing something when you buy a ticket. You’re purchasing the hope of winning. Sure, you can dream of being rich without investing a penny, but having a ticket gives you a real (albeit statistically daunting) chance of that fantasy coming true.

And yet, the time change marches on in California. Daylight saving ended at 2 a.m. Sunday and resumes Sunday, March 12, 2023, with more senseless clock changing, and more damage to people’s health.

There has been a growing movement at the national level to make daylight saving time permanent. Last year, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., introduced the Sunshine Protection Act, which would make daylight saving time permanent, eliminating the need for Americans to change their clock twice a year.

Rubio’s bill passed unanimously in the Senate in March but is awaiting passage in the House of Representatives and would have to be signed into law by the president.

Californian’s had the opportunity Tuesday to vote out the current group of self- and special-interest focused legislators and elect new servants who are willing to follow the will of voters.

We see how that turned out. And yet, after four years, a simple call for action from voters has fallen on deaf ears from those in office.

Country star Urban launching ‘brand new’ Las Vegas residency Tribune Content Agency Keith Urban is returning to Las Vegas for a new residency.

The country music superstar, who completed a successful multiyear residency at Caesars Palace, will play 16 “brand new” shows at the Zappos Theater at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, he said Monday. The title: “Keith Urban: The Las Vegas Residency.”

“That room already feels geared towards a certain energy that’s probably a bit better for what I do,” the Grammy Award winner told People magazine. “I love the sort of club arena vibe, and I think that room already has a bit more of that rock and roll spirit, so I’ll be making the most of that.”

The 13-time CMA winner will pause his Speed of Now World Tour this spring and launch the Las Vegas shows March 3 with the first gigs running through March 18. He’ll take a break then return between June 16 and July 1.

Early ticket sales began Tuesday and sales to the general public begin Saturday.

The singer-songwriter, whose hits include “The Fighter,” “Blue Ain’t Your Color” and “Somebody Like You,” was the first artist to play at the Colosseum after the venue’s state-of-the-art overhaul following Celine Dion’s 16-year run.

Urban launched his residency in September 2019, but the Covid-19 pandemic halted parts of the sublet and his tour shortly thereafter.

FAIRFIELD — Dan Marshall will celebrate the start of his 24th year with the Police Department as its new chief.

Marshall was sworn in Monday in a packed Downtown Theatre, taking over for Deanna Cantrell, who issued his oath of office. His father, Dan Marshall Sr., pinned on his new badge.

“This is such a surreal moment for me,” said Marshall, who paused with emotion before continuing a speech that thanked those who helped him along the way, his family and the community he has served.

Marshall was hired by the department Nov. 29, 1999, after starting his career as a reserve officer in Benicia.

He said in a phone interview Monday morning the goals and the mission of the department will remain pretty much the same, with no immediate changes anticipated. He noted working with the other law enforcement agencies in the county remains a high priority.

“Solano County is not really big, so we share similar challenges,” Marshall said.

The new chief does hope to initiate the department’s new threeyear strategic plan early in the new year, a department blueprint he

Chauncey Banks, a local businessman, was a distant third with 2,399 votes (15.4%).

“I’m very pleased that it seems to be trending my way,” Price said of the early returns.

He credited the work of his campaign team, and said he looks forward “to where the city of Fairfield goes next.”

If the voting holds up, Price will have his Tuesday nights off for the first time years.

Moy early in the night was not conced-

Since Brumfield is the lone candidate to fill out the term vacated by Lori Wilson after she was elected to the Assembly in a special election in April, he is the only possible winner.

Gardner, in fact, pointed to Wilson being sworn is as the 11th District representative just one day after the April 5 special election.

The election was not certified until April 14.

Fairfield Chief of Police Dan Marshall gives his closing comments during his Swearing-in Ceremony at the Downtown Theatre, Monday.

“You don’t get to keep your police chief’s seat if you don’t earn it every day,” Cantrell said.

Assemblywoman Lori Wilson, who presented a certificate to Marshall, City Manager David Gassaway and Mayor Harry Price also spoke at the ceremony.

Price said he was “overwhelmed with joy and glee” to have one of the department’s own rise through the ranks and become chief of police.

“Dan Marshall is one of those guys who has a commitment to the community,” Price said.

He also was described as having a “heart of service.”

Marshall ran for sheriff in 2018, and initiated a second run this past spring only to pull out.

Marshall said the reason he ran was because it was an opportunity to effect change, an opportunity he did not think existed for him at the Police Department at the time.

And while the focus on homelessness, reducing crime, nuisances, traffic and overall safety remain the primary goals of the department, Marshall said in the interview he does see an opportunity to “make a difference” in the department and the city.

The city manager said he will get that chance.

“There is much to do,” Gassaway said.

called “long overdue” and one fashioned by his predecessor, whom Marshall called “an agent of change.”

“We have the whats, we just need to get the timeline down,” Marshall said of the strategic plan in the morning interview.

It includes development of a real-time crime response center, likely a regional effort, that would include the use of the city camera systems and drone and other technologies for a faster response to crimes as they happen. He said it could be housed at one of the existing departments, or possibly in its own building.

Marshall also wants to initiate a community mediation program so as complaints come in against the department or officers, the members of the public

can sit down with staff and try to work out the differences. He said often the disputes are issues of miscommunication or misunderstandings.

A robust wellness program for staff is a priority, too.

The new chief also would like to see the volunteer program regain some footing after the pandemic all but shut it down.

“The more people we have connected to the Police Department; more eyes and ears make it that much safer,” Marshall said Cantrell issued the oath to Marshall after her speech that emphasized the highs and lows, and the successes and failures of the job – all of which she urged Marshall to embrace, especially the failures, from which he can learn.

ing anything.

“It’s very, very early, obviously, and we have to make sure all the votes are counted,” Moy said.

“But I had a lot of people tell me that they went out and voted (Tuesday).”

Moy stood alone among her council colleague, all of whom endorsed Price.

The councilwoman had come under a great deal of criticism from her colleagues for her comments, including calling some of those members corrupt.

She had promised to reveal names and details after the election.

Moy’s message to the voters was it was time for change, with new lead-

ership that will set the agenda and offer new ideas to solve homelessness and other issues. She called Price a “ceremonial mayor.”

Price, who shaded Moy by saying she does not know what real leadership is and doubted her veracity, campaigned on a platform of experience and connections – particularly at Travis Air Force Base – and his ability to build coalitions.

Whomever the winner is, he or she will be getting a bump in pay.

The position has been paid $600 a month, which now goes to $1,560, the first pay increase since 1988. The council member salary goes from

But if the city waits for election certification, Brumfield may never use the mayor’s gavel.

That is because soon after he takes his oath, Alma Hernandez will be sworn in as the new council leader for the next four years.

Hernandez, the current vice mayor, ran out to a big lead in the early voting Tuesday.

She leads James Berg by close to 750 votes after the 10:15 p.m. posting of returns by the county Elections Office.

That margin has closed, however, and had been more than 800 votes.

Hernandez had garnered 2,111 votes

(60.66%) and Berg had 1,369 votes (39.34%).

In the crowded council election, with five candidates seeking two seats, early vote-leader and incumbent Jane Day had fallen to third in the count to Princess Williams and Charles Lee. Williams had 1,290 votes (21.37%) and Lee had 1,280 (21.20%), while Day was at 1,243 votes (20.59%), the Elections Office reported.

There will be at least one new member on the dais after this election, and one additional seat to fill by appointment or special election later.

The seats contested Tuesday belong to incum-

bents Day and Wanda Williams, who chose to run for county supervisor.

However, now that Hernandez appears poised to be the next full-term mayor, that leaves a decision for the City Council about how to fill he council post. A special election can be expensive, so it could be the council, as it has in the past, will choose to appoint and potentially look to the candidates who do not win one of the two open seats.

The final two candidates are Jenalee Dawson with 1,157 votes (19.17%) and Katrina Garcia with 1,067 votes (17.67%).

1,135 votes (44.76%); Raymond Beaty had 886 votes (34.94%); Jennifer House had 265 votes (10.45%); Tapac Chastain had 250 votes (9.86%).

In Benicia: n Council at-Large (2 seats): Terry Scott leads with 3,184 votes (24.66%); Lionel Largaespada was second with 3,024 votes (23.42%); Kari Birdseye had 2,967 votes (22.98%); Christina Strawbridge had 2,785 votes (21.57%); Williams Innes had 953 votes (7.38%).

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Board of Supervisors agreed Tuesday to send a letter to Caltrans supporting the Highway 37 Interim Project for interim and long-term solutions to congestion and sea rise issues.

One of those solutions, Supervisor Erin Hannigan said, will eventually be making the highway a toll road, which she said many of the motorists using Highway 37 have indicated they support if it means less congestion.

“Due to current and projected traffic congestion and flooding of the (Highway 37) corridor, the region requires both an interim and long-term solution to address these pressing concerns, including balancing a variety of transportation needs with enhancing recreational opportunities and protecting and enhancing sensitive marshland habitats,” the letter to Christopher Caputo, the Highway 37 Planning and Environmental Linkages District lead in the Division of Environmental Planning and Engineering of the California Department of Transportation, states.

“The Interim Project, supported by the Solano Transportation Authority and the county includes the installation of high-occupancy vehicle lanes to allow transit operators to establish a transit option for commuters, improves public access to recreation opportunities and restores the wetlands. By quickly implementing the HOV lanes contained within the Interim Project, traffic congestion relief could begin to be addressed as early as 2025,” the letter states.

Supervisor Monica Brown voted to support the letter, but initially

“I do worry about it being a toll road,” Brown said, noting all the other toll requirements Solano County residents must pay to get to their Bay Area jobs. Hannigan said 65% of county residents commute out of the county for work.

“What the staff is trying to do is advance this project,”said Supervisor Jim Spering, who added it will relieve traffic issues for those people who are using the highway now and can be struck in traffic for hours if something happens.

“The plan that is coming forward lays the groundwork for the environmental improvements that are needed,” Spering said.

The board also approved the county’s intent to vacate a portion of Liberty Island Road, including the bridge parcel, to California, and approved setting a public hearing for 2 p.m. Dec. 6 related to the proposed action.

Terry Dahlke, with libertyislandaccess.org, asked that the meeting be moved to night so more people could attend. The board vote 3-2 to move it from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The proposed action is part of a $118.86 million habitat restoration

and flood management project. The levee road will be breached in nine places to help create a 3,000-acre fish and wildlife tidal environment in the Cache Slough Complex.

In other action, the board: n Approved a $1,000 from the 5th District General Fund account to benefit RioVision. n Recognized Nov. 8 as Law Enforcement Records and Support Personnel Day in Solano County. n Appointed Karstin Stranger to the Silveyville Cemetery District board of trustees, representing the 5th District, for a term to end Nov. 8, 2026. n Appointed John M.

Supervisors pave way for final pandemic funding choices Todd R. Hansen

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors on Tuesday directed staff to move the remaining $12.56 million in pandemic relief funding into the county general fund, with $2 million of that to be used for emergency nonprofit needs and the remainder to be specified later for homelessness needs.

The move gives the county more flexibility and more time to make some decisions.

Supervisor Jim Spering quipped the county “laundered” the last of the American Rescue Plan Act funding, but the direction given falls under existing federal guidelines for the money.

Buying some time was an important part of the board’s decision because the requested amounts far exceed the dollars left.

“Boy, do you have a tough job ahead of you,” Nicole Braddock, the executive director of the Solano Land Trust, told the board as she sought funding to support the development of the Patwino Worrtla Kodoi Dihi Open Space Park in rural Rockville, and specifically to cover the costs of youth programs such as field trips, as well as recreation and tourism programs she said would attract people

to the county and support surrounding economic interests as well.

A woman and her 7-year-old child and others are at risk of being sent onto the streets if one local programs does not get $304,0000 in American Rescue Plan Act funds to get it through June, and another organization needs $256,000 so it can continue its drug diversion counseling for residents who otherwise would be incarcerated at county expense.

Support for school programs also was mentioned.

The county started with $86.95 million and has allocated more than $74.38 million.

The discussion Tuesday was on unmet needs and nonprofit organizations, but the board had scheduled presentations to come back on homelessness and a $14.19 million request from NorthBay Health to help cover costs absorbed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The staff was seeking direction on how the board wants to move forward on allocating the remaining money.

Ian Goldberg, the assistant county administrator, recommended the remaining money be shifted to county control under the Resource Recovery provision of See Choices, Page A10

Choices From Page A9 the American Rescue Plan Act’s guidelines.

That eases some of the administrative requirements and removes some timelines for use of the money.

The $2 million set aside for nonprofit emergency use will be allocated through a formal request procedure, with each agency submitting a funding request on a competitive basis with other requests. That is where the Boys & Girls Club, NAMI and Opportunity House, as examples, will now go for a share of American Rescue Plan Act dollars.

Spering and Supervisor Mitch Mashburn said they would like to see the rest of the money held until the new CAP Solano leadership develops a homeless response plan that addresses the county and city needs as a whole.

They have the support of board Chairman John Vasquez, who said a plan is needed otherwise the county will just be throwing more money at a problem that seems to be getting worse.

Supervisor Erin Hannigan argued, however, that there are immediate needs the money could help with, specifically shelters and food programs, needs that would also help alleviate at least some of the community burdens created by homelessness.

Whatever the use, the supervisors do seem to agree it is better to put the money toward uses that are sustainable beyond the immediate expenditure and uses that will make significant impacts on the community and individuals.

It takes four supervisors to approve specific expenditures of funds.

In other action, the board: n Accepted the Solano County Treasurer’s Quarterly Report for July 1 through Sept. 30, 2022. n Approved two revenue

contracts with the California Department of Aging for Napa/Solano Area Agency on Aging services to older adults: $833,254 for Oct. 1, 2022, through Dec. 31, 2024, to expand nutrition services and delivery infrastructure; and $1.18 million for Oct. 1, 2022, through Sept. 30, 2025, for CalFresh Healthy Living Program/ CalFresh Expansion services. n Approved a $307,071 contract with Innovative Health Solutions to expand nutrition education activities to older adults for the period of Oct. 1, 2022, through Sept. 30, 2023, and approved a $833,254 appropriation transfer to recognize the unanticipated revenue. n Received the Internal Control Review of the Nut Tree Airport as of Dec. 31, 2021. n Conducted a public hearing and introduced an ordinance to re-adopt the Surface Mining and Reclamation codes as revised and updated to meet new state standards.

Georgia back to No. 1 in new college playoff poll B2 Wednesday, November 9, 2022 SECTION B Matt Miller . Sports Editor . 707.427.6995

Would 49ers consider Beckham Jr. a catch?

By Jerry McDonald BAY AREA NEWS GROUP

SANTA CLARA — Any student of 49ers tradition and history knows the last time the franchise won a Super Bowl it had a great deal to do with a free-agent star search that included the signings of Deion Sanders, Ken Norton Jr., Rickey Jackson, Richard Dent and Gary Plummer going into the 1994 season.

The 49ers spared no expense in their quest to

beat the Dallas Cowboys, and pulled off all those signings in the first year of a salary cap.

The in-season trade for Christian McCaffrey brought with it a similar “go for it” mentality, one that general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan brought to the players as an explanation for the acquisition.

Could wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. be next?

Fox Sports insider Jay Glazer reported Sunday

that the 49ers, as well as the Dallas Cowboys, were expected to be lining up offers for Beckham by the end of this week. The Rams are also in play.

The answers from both Lynch and Kyle Shanahan are consistent when it comes to talented free agents. They’ll always look for ways to make a team better. The question is how much better would Beckham make the 49ers?

In 12 games (eight regular season, four in the playoffs) with the

Rams after coming off the first of two ACL tears in his left knee, Beckham had 48 receptions for 593 yards and seven touchdowns.

Three things to consider:

Cost Beckham got $1.25 million in salary and bonus money for his time with the Rams on top of what he made in Cleveland before being released. The 49ers have

$6.2 million and change in terms of room under the salary cap according to OverTheCap.com.

Money shouldn’t be a problem unless Beckham wants something outlandish, and at age 30 and coming off two ACL surgeries in successive seasons, that shouldn’t be the case. More likely, he’s cherry-picking a team that he believes can get him another ring while believing he’s more than just a third receiver.

FAIRFIELD — Former Will C. Wood High School graduate Asa Wondeh had his best game yet Saturday as a junior wide receiver for the Eastern New Mexico University Greyhounds football team.

Wondeh made 15 catches for 147 yards and a touchdown as Eastern New Mexico earned a 24-21 win at West Texas A&M in Canyon, Texas. The touchdown came in the fourth quarter on a 1-yard completion from quarterback Kason Martin.

Wondeh has 47 catches this

season for 798 yards and six touchdowns. He has also returned 10 punts for 132 yards. This comes one season after having five 100-yard receiving games at Sacramento City College before transferring to the campus in Portales, New Mexico.

The victory helped move Eastern New Mexico to 3-7 overall on the season. The Greyhounds close out the regular season this week in the rivalry game against Western New Mexico for Senior Day in what is known locally as the Chile Bowl.

Senior linebacker Armon Bailey (Vanden), one of the defensive

leaders for unbeaten Sacramento State, had one solo tackle and nine assists as the Hornets improved to 9-0 with a 33-30 win at Weber State. Sacramento State heads to Portland State this week as the No. 2 team in the nation in the Football Championship Series.

Junior center Jake Levengood (Vacaville) and his Oregon State teammates lost Friday night at Washington, 24-21. The Beavers still managed to accumulate 262 yard of offense and three touchdowns while yielding only one sack. Oregon State See Alumni, Page B10

No matter who you ask, the Giants’ offseason is all about the free-agent slugger and Northern California native.

Judge, who slugged 62 homers for the Yankees last season, has been so frequently tied to the Giants that it almost feels as if whether or not he signs with San Francisco is a direct referendum on Farhan Zaidi’s tenure in charge of personnel.

But there is another

Is Beckham the same explosive, acrobatic wide receiver he’s always been?

Short of that, would he willingly fit in as he did with the Rams last year to be part of a winner?

Beckham reported on Twitter in July he played the whole “back half of the season without an ACL.” Does that make him more healthy or less healthy following a second operation?

Rodón is a free agent, looking for a new, bigmoney, long-term contract, and the Giants need to do everything in their power to bring him back to San Francisco.

FAIRFIELD — Nikki Chindavong of Rodriguez High School tied for 10th overall Monday with a round of 76 at the California Interscholastic Federation Northern California Golf Championships and qualified for the upcoming state tournament.

Chindavong opened play at the Berkeley Country Club in El Cerrito with a pair of birdies on the par-4 first hole and the par-3 second. She had a triple-bogey 7 on the par-4 third before recovering nicely by playing the final six holes on the front side in 1-over-par.

Chindavong was 2-over on the backside before winning a playoff hole to earn the opportunity to advance. She will be one of 54 golfers who will compete in the state competition.

“We are all very excited,” Rodriguez

head coach and athletic director Tracy Lopez said. “It has been a goal of hers for the last four years and she has now achieved that goal.

To say I am proud is an understatement. I am thrilled and I feel blessed to be along for the ride with her.”

Ellie Bushnell of Granite Bay won the title with a 1-under-par round of 71. Her teammate Tavia Burgess was second with a 72 and Francesca Sumcad of Valley Christian was third with a 73.

Valley Christian was the team champion with a 392. Monte Vista was second with a 397 and third went to Pleasant Grove with a 398. They were the only three teams that broke 400.

The state finals will be held next Wednesday at the San Gabriel Country Club.

San Gabriel is near Pasadena in Southern California.

Sharks’ Knyzhov takes significant step in recovery

By Curtis Pashelka BAY AREA NEWS GROUP

SAN JOSE — San Jose Sharks defenseman Nikolai Knyzhov skated for the first time Tuesday since he tore his right Achilles tendon in August, taking a small but significant step in his months-long recovery from the devastating offseason injury.

After the Sharks finished their practice, Knyzhov, getting clearance from his therapist, stepped on the ice for a few minutes to see how his leg felt after his first two-plus months of rehabilitation.

“I feel pretty good.

It’s still weak, obviously still a lot of work to get done to get the strength back,” said Knyzhov, who has also been doing off-ice workouts at the Sharks’ practice facility.

“But it feels pretty good skating. The (doctors) did a good job. Everything is repaired the right way.”

Knyzhov tore the

Achilles tendon during off-ice training and had surgery Aug. 10. The estimated time of recovery for such injuries is about six months, putting a potential return for sometime in February.

“It’s definitely disappointing and one of the worst feelings that I’ve had to deal with,” Knyzhov said. “Still not playing, and there’s still a long road back.

It sucks. I can’t say much more.”

Sharks coach David Quinn noted that Knyzhov is ahead of schedule but added that, “when he’s ready, he’s ready.”

Knyzhov was also cautious about announcing a timeline for a return. “(Six months is) the timeline that doctors gave me, but everybody’s different,” Knyzhov said. “For me, I wake up every day and I try to do my best See Sharks, Page B9

Georgia back to No. 1 in new college playoff rankings

By Chip Towers

THE ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION

ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia finally was able to impress the selection committee.

Clearly, that is a difficult task. This time last week, College Football Playoff’s august group of 13 carefullychosen scrutinizers thought the defending national champion Bulldogs’ march to undefeated status was more a product of having not faced any decent competition along the way.

Sure, that 46-point shellacking of top-10 Oregon to open the season was nice. But in their estimations, it didn’t compare to the work Tennessee had done arriving at the same record.

Georgia crumpled up that argument like a scratch sheet of paper when the Vols visited Sanford Stadium last Saturday. The Bulldogs rolled up 306 yards of offense in the first half and didn’t give up a play of more than 20 yards to Tennessee’s vaunted offense until 4 1/2 minutes remained in what ended in a rain-soaked second half.

The 27-14 final score that was not entirely reflective of the onesided domination.

But in elevating Georgia to the coveted No. 1 spot in the CFP’s second evaluation of the season – and dropping Tennessee only to No. 5 – the committee proved that it was

not just looking at final tallies, but actually also took time to dissect the unfolding events that arrived at them.

“Tennessee comes in averaging (49) points per game and for Georgia to hold them to 13 clearly separated them in the eyes of the committee,” selection committee chairman Boo Corrigan said.

The rest of the top four released Tuesday was Ohio State (9-0), Michigan (9-0) and TCU (9-0), which moved up three spots.

Previous No. 6 Alabama fell three spots to ninth after a 32-31 overtime loss to LSU in Baton Rouge on Saturday.

As for the Vols (6-1, 4-1 SEC),

their goal of participating in the playoffs for the first time in school history remains attainable. Some might even say likely after falling just four spots Tuesday.

“They’re still in the mix, but we don’t know what everybody else is going to do,” ESPN lead college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit said of the Vols. “I think they’re certainly sitting pretty.”

That makes for some truly fascinating possible rematch scenarios for the Bulldogs, who will clinch the Eastern Division’s berth in the SEC Championship with a road win over Mississippi State this Saturday.

After Alabama’s loss to LSU this past weekend, No. 5 Tennessee and No. 6 Oregon stand as the highest-ranked, one-loss teams in the CFB rankings.

Should that designation hold through the conference championships, one or the other could end up in the top four.

By all accounts, the selection committee wants to avoid rematches at all costs in the semifinals. But it could be hard to avoid if either team gets in as a one-loss participant behind three undefeated teams, with No. 1 Georgia at the top. Currently, only four remain, and one of those will go down when Michigan and Ohio State meet on Nov. 26 in Columbus, Ohio.

We did an empty chair exercise where I read a letter to my ex saying everything I wished I had the strength to tell him when we were together.

THE FALL AND RISE OF A CONTRACT Voltaire, in “Zadig,” suggested that “the opportunity for doing mischief is found a hundred times a day, and for doing good once in a year.” Well, at the bridge table, it would be disappointing if we could make a good play only once a year. However, when opportunity knocks, it would be even more

Sudoku

by Phillip Alder disappointing not to know how to open the door.

South’s response of three no-trump showed a balanced hand with 13-15 points and denied a four-card major.

After West led his fourth-highest heart, how did South proceed?

Declarer saw that if the diamond finesse were working, he was in clover.

But in case East had the diamond king, South started by applying the Rule of Seven. He had five hearts between his hand and the dummy. Deducting five from seven told South to hold up his heart ace for two rounds.

After winning the third heart trick, South took the diamond finesse. It lost, and East defended well by returning a low club.

Now South’s nerve failed him.

Seeing several undertricks in his future, South played the club six. West gratefully scooped up the trick with his queen, cashed two heart tricks and led another club to his partner’s ace: down three.

South should have realized that he had to try to keep West off the lead. He should have risen with the club king.

True, if West had the ace without the queen, this would have cost several extra undertricks. However, that would have been a small price to pay for the opportunity of making his vulnerable game contract.

Angela Bassett as Ramonda in Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”

‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ pays tribute to Boseman while effectively advancing the story K atie Walsh

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

2

018’s “Black Panther” wasn’t just a wild success, it was an axis-shifting historically significant moment – the first major comic book movie featuring a Black superhero, it was the first superhero movie to be nominated for Best Picture, and it won three Oscars, for its score, production design and costumes. But after star Chadwick Boseman died in 2020 following a private battle with cancer, where do you go from there?

Director and co-writer Ryan Coogler and co-writer Joe Robert Cole went back to the drawing board for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” writing a script that addresses the death of Boseman’s character T’Challa, and turns its focus to T’Challa’s mother, Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), who takes over leadership duties in Wakanda, and sister, Princess Shuri (Letitia Wright), the techoriented scientist who is more comfortable in her lab than out in front of Wakanda.

Ultimately, “Wakanda Forever” becomes a film about Shuri stepping into her power as she grapples with grief and loss, and the tension between science and spirituality, the balance of which has always ruled the culture of Wakanda.

Wright steps up to the plate, and proves her chops and gravitas as an actor, carrying the emotional weight of this film, which is as much a bittersweet sendoff to Boseman as it is for T’Challa.

Coogler and Cole have crafted this story for Shuri, positioning the Marvel Comics character of Namor as her antagonist, the force against which Shuri has to define herself as a leader. Played by Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta, Namor is a powerful, centuries-old amphibious Aztec superhero, whose mother

Review ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ Rated PG-13 Running time: 2:41

HHH (OUT OF FOUR) escaped the wrath and smallpox of the conquistadors in the 16th century when her people turned to plant medicine and developed the ability to breathe underwater, settling the underwater kingdom of Talokan.

Vibranium, the element that powers Wakanda, is also found in Talokan, and is the current target of American mining companies that seek to exploit the resource.

It’s a story of two indigenous cultures wrestling with how best to protect themselves from the rapacious greediness of developed nations.

Namor’s aggressive approach clashes with Wakanda’s carefully diplomatic isolationism, and Shuri has to figure out what kind of leader she wants to be in the vacuum of her brother’s leadership.

“Wakanda Forever” suffers a bit from the fact that Namor is an overly sympathetic “villain” (see also: Eric Killmonger of “Black Panther” and Bane of “The Dark Knight Rises”). Huerta is too compelling a screen presence, his cause too just to fully root against him. Despite the sharp style, there is little pleasure to be found in watching the violent clashes between the Talokan and the Wakandans. But in presenting an antagonist such as Namor, who seems more of an ally to Shuri, Coogler creates a story that occupies shades of gray, rather than easily digestible black and white morality.

Namor becomes the stone against which Shuri must sharpen her skills as a leader and develop her own personal

moral code, pulling from her ancestral influences as well as her real-world experiences.

When the film is focused on these dual approaches to resisting colonialism (co-existence vs. revolution), it excels. There are a few script fumbles, like the American MIT student, Riri (Dominique Thorne), who has created a vibranium detecting machine that sets off this international incident, but she never feels like an actual character, just a story device. Similarly, the storyline with CIA agent Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) lends to the political intrigue but feels underbaked.

But there’s no denying the intoxicating effect of the world of Wakanda. Once again, the artisans behind the camera on “Wakanda Forever” work to create a style that is uniquely “Black Panther,” which is fantastical and futuristic, but grounded, and most importantly, cool. Coogler is a director with a grasp of cinematic language and imagery that distinguishes his work from the other Marvel movies, and Oscar-winning production and costume designers Hannah Beachler and Ruth Carter put their signature stamp on the style as well. Cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw captures shots of true beauty, like the sun piercing the landscape on a rocky shore, or a magic hour on the sand, which brings an uncommon intimacy to the proceedings.

Considering the challenges facing “Wakanda Forever,” Coogler pulls off an incredible feat, despite some story stumbles, creating a superhero film that is emotionally affecting, politically and culturally urgent, and that pays loving tribute not just to T’Challa but Chadwick Boseman too. While Namor just about steals the show, this sequel is all about Shuri, and Letitia Wright carries the mantle of Wakanda’s legacy beautifully.

SPICY VARIETY IN THE MAJOR SUITS We all know the saying that variety is the spice of life – but from whose writing is that a slight emendation?

The variety of bridge deals can trip up the unwary. Today’s caught my eye because it seems to require one play technique, whereas it actually needs another. How should South plan the play in six spades

Sudoku

by Phillip Alder after West leads a club?

South has a problem in both major suits. Probably his first reaction is to try the heart finesse. If it wins, he can take the safety-play in spades: Cash the king, cross to the ace and lead back toward the jack. If the heart finesse loses, declarer cashes dummy’s spade ace and finesses his jack. Here, though, this line fails as both key honors are offside.

However, there is a better plan available. Suppose East does have three trumps including the queen. There is no need to take the finesse, because he can be endplayed.

South cashes the spade king and plays a spade to dummy’s ace. If West discards, declarer leads a third trump from the board and hopes that West has the heart king. Here, when West’s spade queen appears, South draws the last trump and takes the heart finesse for an overtrick. Now suppose that the spade queen stays extant. Declarer cashes his other top clubs, discarding the heart six from dummy. Then he plays on diamonds. If East refuses to ruff in, declarer exits with a trump.

East will have to lead a heart into dummy’s ace-queen or concede a ruff-and-sluff.

The original writer of “Variety’s the very spice of life” was poet William Cowper.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On January 4, 2023 at 09:30 AM, at Santa Clara Street entrance to the City Hall, 555 Santa Clara Street, Vallejo, CA 94590, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on December 8, 2006 as Instrument No. 200600155224, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Solano County, California, executed by BARBARA J. DAVIDSON, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of SEATTLE MORTGAGE COMPANY as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold "as is". The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1941 GRANDE CIRCLE #66, FAIRFIELD, CA 94533 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trusteeʼs Sale is estimated to be $243,287.50 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiaryʼs bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashierʼs check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trusteeʼs Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidderʼs sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Website address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA07000860-22-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 702-659-7766, or visit this internet website www.insourcelogic.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA07000860-22-1 to find the date on which the trusteeʼs sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trusteeʼs sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trusteeʼs sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Report: Refs made another error that cost Kings Classifieds: 707-427-6936

By Jason Anderson THE SACRAMENTO BEE

For the second time in less than a week, the NBA has admitted officials made a critical error that cost the Kings an opportunity to win a game.

According to the Last 2 Minute Report, Klay Thompson should have been called for a foul on Kevin Huerter in the final second of the Kings’

Online: dailyrepublic.com/classifieds

116-113 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Monday at Chase Center in San Francisco.

The Kings trailed by three when De’Aaron Fox inbounded to Huerter with 1.3 seconds remaining. Huerter launched a 34-foot 3-point attempt over the outstretched arm of Thompson, who appeared to hit Huerter on the elbow and possibly the wrist.

The Last 2 Minute Report

stated: “Thompson (GSW) makes contact with Huerter’s (SAC) arm, which affects his jump shot attempt.”

Kings coach Mike Brown expressed his frustration following the game. Just last week, officials failed to call a traveling violation on Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro’s game-winning 3-pointer in a 110-107 victory over the Kings.

Daily Republic - Wednesday, November 9, 2022

“I feel bad for our guys,” Brown said. “It’s tough being a Sacramento King, I think, because Kevin got fouled. . . . I just want, at the end of the game, somebody to step up and make the right call. A guy gets hit on the arm shooting a 3, that’s a foul. A guy takes six steps, or three, four steps, that’s a travel.

“We just want an opportunity

to win in overtime, but just like in the Miami game, I asked the ref if it was a foul, and he said no. It was clearly a foul.”

Brown didn’t have to wait for the Last 2 Minute Report to know how the play would be assessed.

“The NBA knows it’s a foul, and, basically, all they’ll tell us is they missed the call but you still lost,” Brown said.

Sharks Warriors need Jordan Poole to snap out of early-season funk From Page B1

By Madeline K enney BAY AREA NEWS GROUP

SAN FRANCISCO — Jordan Poole hit a snag over the last week.

Poole had seemed to be finding his stride at the end of last month but has since looked out of sync.

Coach Steve Kerr knew Poole needed something to kick him out of his early-season rut Monday. That’s why he tapped the struggling fourth-year guard to start the second half of the Warriors’ comeback win over the Sacramento Kings alongside the starters.

That lineup jumped to a 16-5 run to start the half, cutting the Kings’ once 12-point lead down to one twice in the first six minutes of the third quarter. But Poole never really got going in what was another underwhelming outing.

Poole finished with just two points, going 1-for-4 from the field in 22 minutes and missing both attempts from deep.

He also uncharacteristically missed a free throw.

And while he had three assists, Poole accounted for three of the team’s 15 turnovers.

That game continued a tough stretch for the 23-year-old whose shortcomings are spotlighted even more while Kerr tries to find stability within the second unit.

Over the last four games, Poole has shot a measly 29.5% (13-of-44), including 20.8% from deep (5-of-24). He’s tallied more turnovers per game (4.3) than assists (four) during that stretch, too.

Jose Carlos Fajardo/Bay Area News Group/TNS

The Golden State Warriors’ Jordan Poole warms up before a preseason game at the Chase Center in San Francisco, Oct. 14.

Kerr remains confident in Poole and believes he’ll regain his rhythm and, in turn, confidence soon enough.

“This happens especially with young players,” Kerr said after the game. “It’s such a long season, you go through some sort of funks and I have no doubt JP will get out of it. And we’ll do everything we can to help him but he’s a really talented young guy and we know what he’s capable of.”

Poole is at his best when he strikes a balance between creating shots for himself while also playmaking for others.

The Warriors know he’s more than capable of finding that equilibrium, with a prime example coming toward the end of last season when Poole stepped up in place of an injured Stephen Curry. Right now, though,

neither is happening on a consistent basis.

Poole seems to be overthinking and overdribbling. Kerr suggested he was doing too much after the Warriors’ loss to the New Orleans Pelicans over the weekend. Stephen Curry also said Poole can’t force his game.

“For the most part, it’s just continuing to stay confident,” Curry said. “He’s on the scouting report for most teams now, he’s not going to sneak up on anybody, but you got to kind of let the game come to you.”

Poole hasn’t been the high-volume scorer and valuable ballhandler and facilitator that helped earn him a four-year rookie extension at the start of this season, though that hasn’t been because of a lack of effort.

It’s clear the ultracompetitive and confident Poole is bothered by

his underperformance.

Poole went to the Warriors’ practice court and was seen putting up shots 45 minutes after the Kings’ game, NBC Sports Bay Area reported. Poole’s commitment is there, it just hasn’t clicked yet this season. And the second unit will continue to flounder until he rediscovers his scoring touch.

“We’ve had a lot of conversations around that, like how I see the game and how he sees the game. And again, just instilling the confidence that he’s that guy out there,” Curry said.

“He’s going to help us win games, he won a championship last year. So you have to maintain your confidence through some rough patches and not let it attack the way you carry yourself out there so that’s his biggest challenge and I think he’ll be up for it.”

to get back out there. If it’s sooner, it’s good. If it’s later, that’s OK too because it just depends on how it heals and how I feel. I’m not getting out there unless I’m 100 percent.”

Knyzhov said the next step is just to see how he feels Wednesday after the skate and go from there.

Ideally, the next big steps would be to skate with equipment and later, skate with other players, but it’s unclear when that could take place.

Knyzhov still noted, though, that he wants to play this season.

“That’s all I’m looking forward to,” Knyzhov said. “I wake up every day and it doesn’t matter what I have in my social life, all I’m thinking about is just getting out on the ice. The first thing in my mind is, ‘what do I have to do today to get back.’

“I’m in good hands.”

Knyzhov was named by local media as the Sharks’ Rookie of the Year after the 2020-2021 season in which he 10 points and played in all 56 games.

That year, he averaged close to 17 minutes

of ice time per game and finished the season as Erik Karlsson’s defense partner.

But Knyzhov has had no luck with his health since that season. He missed all of last year with a litany of ailments, including issues with his groin, a sports hernia, and later an infection that kept him mostly stationary for weeks.

Knyzhov had put all of that in the past and appeared ready to return this season, perhaps challenging for a spot on one of the Sharks’ top two defense pairs. Jaycob Megna has been Karlsson’s defense pair of late and free agent signee Matt Benning has helped fill the open spot in the Sharks’ defense corps.

Knyzhov’s last game was May 12, 2021, as he’s leaned on friends and teammates to help him get through the many challenging times, both physical and mental.

“If I was to name everyone, we’d probably be here so long,” Knyzhov said of the support. “I’ve had so many people around me that were trying to help me. The team, my family and close friends, everybody in this room, everybody in this building.

Rodón

And while the Giants were able to pluck Rodón out of free agency when Gausman — their previous ace — left for big money in Toronto, how many times can Zaidi go to the draw pile and pull out an ace?

I’m not smart enough to count cards, but I know that two have already been pulled out of the deck.

The Giants don’t have an in-house replacement for Rodón, either. They won’t for a while yet.

So while, yes, it’s risky to pay pitchers big money – what, with their fickle elbow ligaments and all – it’s even riskier for the Giants to enter the 2023 season without another top-line starter.

Rodón might be a free agent, but he represents the most direct route to filling that muchneeded role.

Let’s also establish that the Giants signing both Judge and Rodón this offseason is completely possible. The team has the money.

In fact, the Giants can sign three or four top-flight free agents this offseason – if they want – and stay under baseball’s de-facto salary cap. The Giants’ projected payroll for players currently on the roster is roughly $124 million, per FanGraphs and MLB Trade Rumors.

The competitive balance tax threshold – that defacto salary cap – is set at $233 million for the

From Page B1 Rodón had an ERA of 2.88. It was ace stuff, following a brilliant year for the White Sox in 2021.

Over the last two seasons, you cannot name more than five starting pitchers who have been better than Rodón, who has a sub-1 WHIP and a 2.67 ERA in his last 55 starts, while playing in two leagues.

He deserves the pile of cash that is coming his way.

The Giants should be the team to give it to him.

Yes, the Giants need a slugger like Judge to compete with the Dodgers and Padres (and maybe even the Diamondbacks?) in the National League West. Though it should be noted that the Giants only scored 21 fewer runs than the title-winning Astros this season. Offense isn’t this team’s No. 1 issue.

But pitching is always vital to winning, and the Giants need a top-of-therotation arm to pair with Logan Webb.

I also get the feeling it will be even more important to have guys with elite strikeout stuff – like Rodón – in the post-shift world baseball is about to enter. (It’s going to be a lot tougher to get outs when you can’t play three dudes in right field anymore. Best to have some nasty stuff.)

2023 season.

That’s more than $100 million to spend this offseason. And the Giants should spend every penny.

So bring on Judge, Rodón, and toss in a Trea Turner, Xander Bogaerts, or Carlos Correa, too.

Money cannot be considered an issue for this Giants team. Not if the organization wants to still be considered a true bigmarket team and charge close to $20 for beer.

Rodón is expected to command more than $30 million a year as a free agent. With his injury history, he’s unlikely to command a five-year deal or longer.

Four years, $120 million – frontloaded? That’s more than doable for the Giants. But other teams will be in at that number, too.

And this is why I view Rodón as the bellwether of Zaidi’s Giants’ administration.

By all accounts, the Giants and Rodón’s test drive in 2022 went great.

Rodón knows what Zaidi and Gabe Kapler are about. He has relationships with the coaches and his teammates. He’s publically acknowledged that he enjoys the Bay Area and can foresee himself being a full-time Northern Californian.

And the Giants know Rodón, too. They know that he’s the kind of player that can lift a team and a fanbase all season long.

Truth be told, this shouldn’t be a compli-

cated deal to make.

So if it’s not made, that’s concerning.

Judge’s only real connection to the Giants is that he grew up outside of Stockton and that Zaidi might offer him a ton of money.

There’s no relationship there – no shared experience.

It’s not to say that the two can’t and shouldn’t get together – I want the Giants to sign Judge.

It’s only that if he turns down the Giants, it’s not personal. It will only hurt because expectations were built up beyond reason.

But if the Giants lose the best player they’ve recruited in the Zaidi era after just one year, that carries weight. That’s the kind of thing that starts rumors around Major League Baseball about cash flow and player management.

That’s the kind of thing the Giants can’t afford this crucial offseason.

So while Judge coming to the Bay would be incredible, to me, Rodón is the more important free agent target this offseason for the Giants and should be the team’s top priority amongst many high-priority to-dos.

Get it done with Rodón, Farhan.

Then we can all go back to talking about Judge.
