Memorial honors fallen officers

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer A community that united one year ago to mourn the death of Davis Police Officer Natalie Corona came together again Friday, this time to remember not only Corona’s sacrifice but those of first responders everywhere.

They include fallen Davis Police Officer Douglas Cantrill, whose name joins Corona’s at a newly built memorial dedicated Friday outside the Davis police station on Fifth Street.

“This memorial is a solemn place,” Police Chief Darren Pytel told the large gathering that

included Corona’s family, Davis police officers and firefighters, and dozens of their supporters from the community.

He noted its four benches “where anyone can come and sit and pay their respects. It is also a place where someone can come and collect their thoughts.

We all need a place like this.”

Pytel said that despite the passage of time, the Davis Police Department continues to reel from Corona’s death — her fatal shooting on Jan. 10, 2019, while investigating a routine vehicle collision on Fifth Street, nearly 60 years after Cantrill lost his life in the line of duty.

“That’s just how Natalie

affected us,” Pytel said, calling Corona “our star. … We lost someone special, someone that represented the profession, all that Davis PD strives to be.”

Davis assistant police chief to pursue a law-enforcement career, Corona demonstrated passion for not only police work but also the Davis community,

Former mayor helps students prepare for globalized world

BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer As mayor of the city of Davis from 2016 through 2018, Robb Davis was tasked with guiding the city through a divisive and turbulent time in national politics that at times played out locally. As mayor, Davis approached that challenge by trying to “help people work together to solve problems,” he said. It’s a common thread that runs through his new work at UC Davis.

Since leaving City Hall, Davis has worked for UC Davis Global Affairs, stepping into a new position in fall 2019 as the campus’s first director for intercultural programs. The position was created to help develop programs in line with UCD’s Global Education for All initiative, which aims to equip students to graduate into a globally interconnected world as well as a globalized job market.

For example, Davis said, agricultural and food science students will be entering an industry influenced not just by hard science, but by international markets, tariffs,

“No matter what the student’s field of study is, they’re going out into very complex global systems,” Davis said. One of the first steps in preparing students for that reality, he said, is getting them thinking about skills they might need to acquire outside the scope of their coursework.

“They’re going out to operate within a complex system that’s far beyond their discipline’s ability to influence. How do they work in that system? What competencies do they need beyond their academic qualifications?”

To help students answer those questions, Davis is working with students, professors, staff and faculty to embed

An effort highlighted by a then-10year-old Girl Scout more than four years ago to make bike travel in her east Davis neighborhood safer is nearing fruition.

The Davis City Council on Tuesday will provide direction to staff on options to be included in a bid package for the Tulip and Ponteverde multi-use path extension project.

Funding for the safety improvements — $770,000 — is included in the current fiscal year budget.

The staff report prepared for Tuesday’s meeting notes that the Mace Ranch greenbelt, which runs parallel to and south of Loyola Drive, “is an important east-west bike path connecting Mace Ranch Park and Korematsu Elementary School with destinations to the west.”

The bike path is even a designated Safe Route to School corridor. All but one portion, that is. The section between Salamanca Court and Ponteverde Lane was removed from the suggested safe route because of safety concerns.

Marina Greenwood learned about that first-hand back in 2014 when she was hit by a car turning onto Ponteverde from Tulip.

Lucky for Marina, the collision caused no injuries, but it did serve as a reminder of the safety risk bicyclists face in that location.

Here, bicyclists headed eastbound on Ponteverde from Tulip Lane must cross the westbound traffic lane on a tight 90-degree curve to access the bike path. To avoid this, bicyclists —

UC praises budget for commitment to higher education

global learning opportunities in formal courses, in internships and in extracurricular opportunities, as well as other special programs offered on campus.

In October, for example, UC Davis Global Affairs hosted a two-day workshop on tackling global food challenges.

Researchers from eight countries gave presentations and held discussions on food security and innovation.

In addition to equipping students for an interconnected world, according to UCD officials, global learning initiatives go hand-in-hand with UC’s public service mandate. “As a public land-grant university, I think it is extremely important to educate global leaders who can address pressing challenges, many of which have global dimensions,” Global Affairs vice provost and associate chancellor Joanna Regulska told UC Davis Big Ideas.

UCD is drawing from the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals to inform the problems it aims to familiarize students with locally.

The University of California Board of Regents Chair John A. Pérez and President Janet Napolitano issued a statement Friday applauding California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s budget plan for 2020-21. “The governor’s budget reflects an ongoing commitment to higher education,” the UC statement reads.

The $222 billion budget plan proposes a $217.7 million General Fund increase for UC campuses. The funding increase comes with “the expectation that UC will continue to focus on maintaining college affordability, increasing student access, improving timely degree completion and reducing achievement gaps,” the budget summary states. In 2019-20, UC added approximately 3,200 resident undergraduate students.

In its statement, UC affirmed the State’s aims for the university. “The

Briefly Roseville police chase ends with Davis arrest Police descended upon a local neighborhood Friday afternoon after a Roseville bankrobbery suspect led authorities on a 40-mile pursuit to Davis.

The incident began with a robbery at the Wells Fargo Bank on Douglas Boulevard, the Roseville Police Department announced on its Facebook page.

The suspect fled the scene by car, triggering a pursuit that continued onto Interstate 80, at which time the California Highway Patrol took over the chase.

The pursuit made its way westbound into Yolo County and diverted north on Highway 113 to Covell Boulevard, where the suspect exited the freeway and continued the evasion on city streets.

Deputy Police Chief Paul Doroshov said the suspect eventually abandoned his vehicle in the Alvarado Avenue area and fled on foot, prompting local police to set up a perimeter in that neighborhood.

Officers searched the area on the ground while a CHP helicopter circled overhead.

Roseville police announced at about 1:40 p.m. that the suspect had been taken into custody, the arrest occurring in the Fountain Circle Townhomes complex, according to Doroshov.

Roseville police did not release the man’s name “due to the fact that this is an going investigation� but said he faces robbery and felony evading charges.

Candidates to face off at forum Special to The Enterprise The Davis Area Chapter of the League of Women Voters and CivEnergy will host a candidate forum on Sunday, Jan. 26, for District 4 of the Yolo County Supervisors. This free event will be from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Davis City Council Chambers, 23 Russell Blvd.

District 4 includes El Macero and parts of Davis south of Interstate 80; north of Covell Boulevard and east of F Street; north of Eighth Street and east of J Street; and North of the freeway and east of L Street.

Incumbent Jim Provenza is running for re-election.

He faces Linda Deos and David Abramson. If one candidate fails to receive a majority vote, the top two vote getters will face each other in the November general election.

Don Saylor — the other county supervisor from

Davis — is not up for reelection until 2022. His District 2 covers the area from West Davis to Winters. County supervisors are nonpartisan and serve terms of four years.

The Yolo County Board of Supervisors adopts policies and establishes programs for law and justice, health and mental health, social services, rural land use, transportation, water resources, air quality, flood management, agriculture, economic development, emergency services, libraries and intergovernmental relations.

Homelessness, cannabis and juvenile corrections — including an Office of Refugee Resettlement contract to house unaccompanied minors at Woodland Juvenile Hall — were among the most controversial issues before the board in 2019.

The Davis Area Chapter of the League of Women Voters restarted in May

2019 after a five-year hiatus and has grown since then to almost 100 members. The group collaborates with CivEnergy, a local website formed to boost online discussion of current issues in the community. Both organizations are strictly nonpartisan.

Submit questions for the candidates to bobf@lwv davisarea.org. Questions not posed to candidates at the forum will be published online after the event. Candidates will be strongly encouraged to provide answers to these online questions. The approach is similar to the one used at the CivEnergy forum for Davis City Council candidates in 2018.

Candidate questions or other queries about the event may also be sent by regular mail to the Davis Area League of Women Voters, P.O. Box 1705, Davis, CA 95617.

Woodland police marked their first homicide of the year Thursday night when a man was shot to death in a residential neighborhood.

Yolo County coroner’s officials identified the victim Friday as Isaac Carlos Morales, 20, of Woodland.

Sgt. Dallas Hyde said officers were dispatched at 8:11 p.m. to reports of shots fired in the 100 block of College Street, arriving to find a male victim who was pronounced dead at the scene. There were no additional details regarding a suspect or motive.

The fatal shooting is Woodland’s third in less than three months, all of them the result of gun violence.

An Oct. 21 shooting in the area of North and East streets killed 16-year-old Alvaro Gamera of Esparto and left two others injured. A suspect arrested days later in connection with that incident has since been released from jail after the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office declined to file charges, pending further investigation.

On Nov. 17, Woodland resident Raymond Ortiz, 44, was shot to death in the 100 block of Elm Street, his killing also

unsolved despite rampedup investigative efforts announced by Police Chief Derrek Kaff in the wake of the homicides as well as several other shootings that left victims injured. “We have dedicated all detective investigators, including our Street Response Team, to investigate leads in an attempt to develop suspects and motive for these shootings,� Kaff said at the time. “We have also partnered with allied state and local agencies for assistance, both to investigate these crimes and to develop strategies to deter/prevent further incidents.�

The agency also has increased its “proactive patrols� for an indeterminate time as investigators attempt to identify suspects and curb the violence, and in the event of an arrest will work with the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office to ensure the cases are fully prosecuted, Kaff said.

Kaff has said his agency is exploring whether the shootings are related or have ties to local street gangs. Anyone who has information about the crimes, including possible witnesses, is urged to call the Woodland Police Department’s crime tip line at 530-661-7851.

BUDGET: UC sees 5% bump From Page A1 university will continue to look for opportunities to collaborate with the governor and Legislature to expand access and affordability for California undergraduates, boost graduate student enrollment, support on-time graduation and close achievement gaps among first-generation and underrepresented students,” the university stated.

In addition to the general 5-percent funding increase for UC, the budget proposes a number of one-time funds for UC programs. These funds include a $50 million fund for the UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program to develop a grant program for animal shelters. “The program will provide expertise, support and local assistance over a five-year period to help local communities achieve the state’s policy goal that no adoptable or treatable dog or cat should be euthanized,” the budget summary states.

“Among other support, the governor’s spending plan provides critical, continued funding for the UC Riverside School of Medicine and the UCSF Fresno branch campus, helping to expand medical care access to underserved communities in California. Moreover, the proposal also invests in much-needed research on wildfire preparedness as well as crucial legal services for UC’s immigrant students,” Pérez and Napolitano stated.

“The governor’s spending plan is an important step toward covering the funds necessary to meet UC’s tripartite mission of delivering world-class education, conducting cutting-edge research and providing public service,” the UC statement reads.

MEMORIAL: Deaths leave enduring mark on city From Page A1 her father Merced Corona told the crowd.

“She made it very clear to us that she wanted to serve Davis,” said Merced Corona, himself a retired Colusa County sheriff ’s officer. “I think she fell in love with the city.”

While Friday’s ceremony honored her, “I also want to remind you that there’s 134 families throughout this nation that are going through the pain that we’ve gone through,” Corona added, citing the number of officers who died while on duty in 2019.

They include Sacramento Police Officer Tara O’Sullivan, whose family joined Corona’s at the memorial dedication.

“We did not select to be in this brotherhood, but we were selected from above,” Merced Corona said.

“To those of you that are serving, I know that you will carry the torch.

Be safe, always.”

At 22, Corona was a newly badged officer, having been sworn in to the Police Department just five months before she died. Prior to that, she served the agency as a community services officer while attending the Sacramento Police Academy.

Community always comes together Cantrill, too, was a relatively new cop, joining the department only a month before his Sept.

7, 1959, death after two years with the Grass Valley Police Department. He was 23 years old.

Friday’s emcee, Davis Enterprise columnist Bob Dunning, recalled being a seventh-grader at Davis Junior High School when Cantrill was fatally shot with his own firearm — his killing never solved — and how the town rallied around his family in the wake of the tragedy.

His widow later wrote a letter to the newspaper editor expressing her gratitude to the community, which established a fund for Cantrill’s family that included a 9-month-old daughter.

Davis Police Chief Darren Pytel speaks at the dedication. To his right are Deputy Chief Paul Doroshov, Davis Mayor Brett Lee and City Manager Mike Webb. Below, Thin Blue Line flags highlighted the event.

“Believe me, it was and is badly needed, and is appreciated very much,” said the letter, which Dunning read Friday. “I extend my most sincere thanks and deepest appreciation. Every card and letter, and every kind act, will always be remembered.”

A second memorial to Corona endures at the spot where she lost her life, in front of the Newman Catholic Center on Fifth Street. Its director, Vince Nims, recalled the center’s effort on Thursday to install a bench there to welcome the site’s frequent visitors — a project that required some extra hands.

So Nims ventured to the nearby Davis Fire Department and knocked on the door. Soon, more than a dozen firefighters — whose colleague also came under fire while trying aid the injured Corona that chaotic night — arrived to help see the project to completion.

“We were all standing around thinking the same thing as we were looking at that bench: This is a sacred place,” Nims said, noting the ribbons, photos and other mementos that still honor Corona on a nearby tree. “When we remember people, we bring them back to life. When we

remember people, they are still with us.”

In addition to the benches, the police station memorial features a redwood fence, plaques in memory of both Corona and Cantrill, as well as landscaping planted thanks to local businesses and volunteers.

Though the trees and plants now appear small and bare, “that

will change,” Pytel pledged. “The weather and the season will change soon, and this memorial is going to spring to life. It will bring a little beauty to a place that needs it the most.”

I’m a big believer in holiday magic T

he power of the number 3 is amazing, especially for writers who know that three items or three examples — rather than two, four or any other number — feel easy and comfortable to readers, like a favorite chair.

Imagine my pleasure, therefore, when holiday magic came this year via three special experiences. ———— Magic first broke through on Saturday, Dec. 21.

The foundation had been laid months earlier, when my two older grandsons, ages 8 and 10, came to our cabin in Lotus for a summer visit. One day we hiked at David Moore Park where a gentle trail circles through woods, past rock piles from Gold Rush days, down to the South Fork of the American River.

We were halfway around with the boys and my kayaking buddy Patso when my older grandson started pointing excitedly at a tree. He saw something pink in the notch and despite parental warnings about poison oak, zoomed in for a closer look.

A dinosaur!

Plastic, of course, two inches long, a nice find but not remarkable until the other boy shouted, “I see another one!� “Do you think there will be more?� someone asked.

The hunt was on.

Sure enough, we found more dinosaurs, along with tiny plastic birds, reptiles and farm animals.

When we got back to our car, we put our treasures into a bag and brought them home. We agreed that when the boys returned at the holidays, we would hide animals for other kids to find.

In November, when shopping season hit, I asked the boys what sort of animals I should acquire for our project. They voted for forest animals and African fauna, and I bought both. I told Patso about our plan and she asked me to call her so she could join us.

Preparations came together on Dec. 21, when we started down the trail clutching our newly purchased animals, eager to hide them in the best places possible.

Patso, unfortunately, could not come.

But just as we began distributing our animals, my grandsons began discovering animals that

were already there, new ones, including a purple stegosaurus, a grey T-rex, and a tiny horse.

We continued down the trail painstakingly placing our animals while happily discovering a multitude of others, many waiting in clear sight like elephants around a watering hole.

They were so numerous that I texted Patso, “Have you walked this trail recently?� “Maybe� she replied. ———— Our second experience of holiday magic started with my making a mistake. While my daughter and son-in-law were out one afternoon and I was home with the grandsons, I forgot to give them a snack.

This seemingly minor error led to a world class meltdown just before dinner, too late for snacking, but impossible to cure with soothing words like “Grandpa will have the food ready in 10 minutes.�

Amidst the groaning and tears, my son-in-law suddenly sang out, “Fa la la� or maybe it was “Joy to the World.� I’m not sure which song we started on, but soon he and I launched into a full-throated repertoire of Christmas music, looking up second and third verses of favorites on his cell phone.

I don’t think I’ve ever sung Christmas carols so loudly. We

matched the kids’ drama, note for note, hand gesture for hand gesture, until the silliness reached a level that could only be described in cooking hyperbole.

We were bold, piquant, hearty.

Ten minutes passed magically.

Then dinner was served. ———— The third and most profound experience of holiday magic revolved around one simple word.

This was the year that our youngest grandson, Everett, age 21 months, began to pay attention to everything around him.

His parents have even begun to spell (“Should we give him a c-oo-k-i-e?�) because he understands so much.

His cousins, the 8 and 10-year-old plastic-animal hunters, took an immediate and intense interest in him. They played with him at our home and requested excursions he would enjoy. While parents and grandparents snapped countless pictures, Everett toddled around the Sacramento Railroad Museum holding hands with a cousin on each side.

Afterwards the bigger boys assembled wooden train tracks for him, whispered to me about how cute he is, and joined eagerly in teaching him to raise his arms in triumph when the family chanted, “How big is

Everett? So big!� “This is amazing,� my daughter marveled. “The boys don’t do this when we bring them to homes of friends with younger kids. They ignore them.�

I believe this happened because of one magic word: “cousin.� The older boys never had a cousin before and the relationship, correctly, sounds important to them.

A cousin can be with you your whole life, although I don’t think young children absorb that part.

They do know that the relationship of being “cousins� changes things, that cousins merit attention, from which a special connection may grow.

The word “Grandma� works the same way.

For people who live far apart, as our children and grandchildren do, these connections spark at the holidays.

On their next-to-last day together, the bigger boys presented Everett with a fortune cookie they had acquired at a factory in San Francisco’s Chinatown. It had two fortunes inside, one saying, “How big is Everett?

So big!� and the other saying “I love you, Everett.�

That’s holiday magic to me. — Marion Franck has lived in Davis for more than 40 years.

Will you resolve to do something different?

BY TRACY FAUVER Special to The Enterprise

E

ach year around this time I can’t help but notice — the greenbelts are full of joggers, the produce section in the grocery store is full of a few more healthy eaters, and everyone is opening doors for one another. The new year often brings with it vows of being a better version of ourselves. There is a sense of a fresh start, and literal resolves to try harder, do better, give more, or be more.

Personally, I get fatigued of always looking inward to find my new year’s resolution and I would wager to say I’m not the only one.

In fact, some of my best new year’s resolutions have been when I’ve looked outward ‌ starting with the year that I personally became a CASA volunteer.

Rather than being upset midyear that I had fallen off the resolution wagon, I was in the midst of changing a child’s life, and it felt so magical.

YOLO CASA The holidays are tough.

Expectations are high, and if left unmet, sting that much more. I can’t tell you how many stories I heard this holiday season from our CASA volunteers about how lonely or rejected a child felt. It was often the CASA volunteer who stepped in, and kept the magic of the holidays alive, through simply being there ‌ and the impact isn’t just immediate ‌ it lasts for years.

In a recent TED talk, Oregon Judge Xiomara Torres spoke of her experience in the foster-care system. (In fact, if you have 11 minutes and 40 seconds to spare, I highly recommend you watch it.)

As a minority and former foster youth, she highlighted all the reasons she shouldn’t be a judge. She explained all the left turns that advisors and advocates tried to tell her to take. And then, ever so powerfully, she talked

about her CASA volunteer.

She called this woman a “true advocate.� She said that her CASA volunteer never wavered from advocating for what SHE personally wanted. When people told her she could not be a judge someday, her CASA volunteer said she could.

In her closing remarks, Torres asked the audience, “Where are the places you have not been and should go?�

Wow. What a powerful question ‌ and the type of question our CASA volunteers are trained to ask our foster youth every day.

The truth is, children in the dependency system often don’t have advocates asking them the right questions or performing the right kind of advocacy.

Work loads are high for attorneys, social workers, and foster parents, and inevitably, foster kids are looked at as a group. Inadvertently, what was right for one child may be prescribed for another, even though it may not be in the

CASA volunteers can reverse this because they advocate for one child.

They advocate for unique dreams, interests, circumstances and desires.

Back to the New Year ‌ maybe you, yourself, are spending extra time in the

produce aisle or on the greenbelts this January.

And maybe you, like me, are a little tired of looking inward. Maybe you even have an inkling to become a CASA volunteer. If that’s the case, I urge you to look at our calendar of trainings on our website and fill

out the interest form at www.yolocasa.org or give us a call at 530-661-4200.

Will 2020 be the year you resolve to do something a bit different? I sure hope so. — Tracy Fauver, LCSW, is the Executive Director of Yolo County CASA.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 12, 2020 A5

Downtown getting more caffeinated P

achamama Coffee Cooperative is returning to Davis, bringing another coffeehouse downtown. It fills the former Subway sandwich spot at 130 G St. The cooperative ran a Davis coffee bar inside Natsoulas Gallery, 521 First St., from late 2013 to early 2016, but lost its lease. It has a booth on Saturday mornings at the Davis Farmers Market, which it plans to continue.

Pachamama was the first café in the United States “to be 100 percent owned by coffee farmers in Latin America and Africa,” it says. It has two cafés in Sacramento: 3644 J St. and 919 20th St. One of its first bean customers was the Davis Food Co-op in 2006.

CEO and co-founder Thaleon Tremain said he hopes to open the Davis café this spring. “We will be returning with a stronger team and a bigger, complete café. In addition to Pachamama’s unique ownership structure, I believe we’ll be the only coffee shop in Davis dedicated to brewing 100% Certified Organic coffee.”

When it left the Davis gallery space, Tremain said it was “successful by all accounts,” and noted his plans to look for another suitable spot. “We love Davis and the community that helped to create Pachamama.”

With Pachamama’s addition, there will be eight coffeehouses

in the 3-by-9-block downtown core, including: Temple, Philz, Mishka’s, Starbucks, Peet’s, Cloudforest and Barista Brew.

These don’t count the cafés where coffee isn’t the main staple. The location close to the Amtrak station should be a good one, however.

———— Davis Co-working is expanding, and plans a Davis Chamber of Commerce ribbon-cutting event to celebrate. The event is from 5 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 22, at 825 Russell Blvd., Suites 35-36.

The business opened in May, on the second floor of University Mall, above Subway. It works on a daily pass or monthly membership basis, and sells passes by the hour for its conference room.

The facility includes shared desks and workspaces, a lounge area and the conference room.

The ground-level addition features a main room with 18 shared workspaces and a conference room that seats eight, and is wheelchair-accessible. The expansion will be available to all

current and new members.

Starting this month, students can have access at special rate.

It’s available for teaching events, workshops and retreats.

Owner Do Tromp says coworking offers independent contractors and entrepreneurs a social, inspiring, supportive environment that encourages productivity. It brings people together from different disciplines and backgrounds, and encourages collaboration.

———— Turn 2 Racing, a game room of race-car simulators in University Mall, closed at the end of the year. It opened Aug. 30 at 825 Russell Blvd., in the mall’s interior.

The post said the business’ short-term least ended, and it was offered only a long-term renewal. Owner Patrick Turner may be looking for a new location.

It featured four racing simulators, with software that professional drivers use for training.

Riders ages 6 and up chose experiences from more than 100 race cars and several hundred tracks, with the handling and courses replicated as much as possible with motion, vibration and views.

———— Akasha Yoga expanded its ownership this year. Longtime yoga teacher Blake Mason joins Jamie Testa and Carolyn

Thomas as a co-owner. With the shift, Thomas moves into a silent partner role, while Testa and Mason will actively run the Davis studio at 140 F St. “As the original owners who created Akasha seven years ago,” Testa and Thomas said in a social media post, “(We’re) over the moon to welcome Blake, and continue our work in creating a true yoga home for our beautiful community.”

Mason began teaching at Akasha in 2012, and has led more than 1,700 classes, workshops and trainings, the Facebook post said. His teacher, the late Aaron Pappas, introduced Blake to yoga during rehab. “He is passionate about sharing the gift of yoga with others” and grateful to be a part of the studio’s next chapter.

———— The Hotdogger is back up for sale, owner Ivan Franks announced. Franks backed out of similar plans a year ago.

The 142-square-foot shop has been at 126 E St., Suite A1, since 1984. Ivan and Cheryl Franks took it over in 1993, and raised their two boys in Davis. The couple split, and Ivan plans to move to Hawaii to teach, and run a similar hot-dog cart.

“It’s time for me to begin the process of moving to the big island of Hawaii!” he wrote in a Jan. 2 Facebook post. He asked interested parties to contact him

through the store’s website, http://thehotdogger.com/.

———— The Habit Burger Grill is scheduled to open on Feb. 5 at 1368 E. Main St. in Woodland. It fills the former Del Taco location that closed in May. A company spokeswoman said there will be pre-opening events, and consumers can sign up at https:// www.habitburger.com/woodland to join in on the free food.

———— Coffee Club has its grand opening on Thursday at 1264 E. Gibson Road, Unit C309, in County Fair Shopping Mall. It’s open 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, 10 to 6:30 on Saturdays and 11 to 5:30 on Sundays.

———— The Daily Democrat reported that a couple of businesses have closed in Woodland.

Guinevere’s Café and Bistro, 317 Second St. in Woodland, closed at the end of the year. A Facebook post on Thursday said, “We are reinventing Guinevere’s.”

Also, Knockoutz Fitness Center, 36 Main St., closed last month.

Sudwerk launches craft kitchen, party set Special to The Enterprise The kitchen is back open at Sudwerk Brewing Co., and there’s a party to celebrate.

The community appreciation event is from 4 to 9 p.m. Friday, Jan. 17, at the brewery, at 2001 Second St. in Davis. Complimentary food samples will be available from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in the brewery’s taproom, The Dock. It marks the first step in the remodeling of the property, which includes an indoor beer hall.

The menu showcases fresh flavors and local collaborations, tying together German roots and modern California cuisine. Coowner Trent Yackzan said, “We have the highest quality beer, and we’re making the highest quality food we can possibly do.”

Sudwerk hired chef Irie Gengler as director of restaurant operations, who’s been working on the menu and kitchen upgrade for months. Gengler has 30 years of high-level restaurant experience, including Wolfgang Puck’s Spago Chicago, Brix Napa Valley and several years with The

Firehouse Restaurant in Old Sacramento. He helped open The Brewhouse in Whistler, B.C., and the recently completed Out of Bounds Craft Kitchen and Biergarten in Folsom.

For Sudwerk’s opening menu, Gengler chose foods that complement beer drinking, are easy to eat with your fingers and are loaded with flavor. Most items can be prepared gluten-reduced, vegetarian or vegan. And now that there’s food, the brewery is permitted to serve wine.

Current offerings include six from Yolo County and two from Napa.

Patrons order at the taproom bar. Food comes out fast, fresh to order. The menu features 10 shareable dishes, plus a Chocolate Almond Toffee dessert. And — in typical Sudwerk fashion — selections highlight community partnerships.

Many of the ingredients — veggies, meats, cheeses, oils, nuts — are produced locally or in Northern or Central California.

For example, the Märzen Bratwurst is made at UC Davis, using Sudwerk’s

COURTESY PHOTO

The Sudwerk cheese charcuterie plate includes local cheeses, meats, nuts, bread and pickled peppadews. award-winning amber lager, and served on a Village Bakery brioche bun. The Davis bakery supplies all of the breads on the menu. Vierra Farms of West Sacramento provides the gourds for the Kabocha Squash soup, and Nichols Farms provides nuts for various dishes.

Beer makes its way into other food, too. For the giant Beer Garden Pretzel, People’s Pilsner flavors the beer cheese, and märzen adds flavor to the mustard.

Other items include pulled pork sliders, chicken chorizo sausage, a cheese

and charcuterie plate, fried Shishito peppers, red pepper hummus with papadum chips, and mixed nuts.

There are three “Kidwerk” items: a “Hop Dog,” chicken strips, and mini carrots and edamame. The menu will evolve with the seasons, Gengler said, and grow when the kitchen expands.

For example, he has plans to make his own pasta using the brewery’s spent grains.

Dean Unger and Ron Broward founded Davis’ first brewery in 1989. They sold the restaurant business to a San Francisco

restaurateur in 2006, who operated it independently.

The brewery gained momentum in 2013 after Yackzan (Unger’s grandson) and Fry coordinated a buyout. After the restaurant closed in 2016, Sudwerk brought in food trucks a couple of times a week. In 2019, it reacquired the restaurant space, and began upgrades.

Sudwerk remodeled the former restaurant banquet room into a beer hall and lounge, with a screen to project big games, including the NFL Playoffs.

There’s a comfortable lounge seating area, new paint, and fresh murals and artwork by Davis artist Gregory Shilling. This greatly expands the brewery’s seating capacity, which was mostly outdoors, and opens the hall for meeting and event rentals.

“This is just a hinting of the greater project,” Fry said of the small-scale kitchen opening. The owners say they’re taking baby steps to gather feedback and raise more capital for other improvements of the patio, restaurant space and

a larger kitchen.

Fry said feedback is positive since the kitchen’s soft opening on Dec. 20.

Patrons are happy to have food and drink in one destination. Sudwerk owners are excited to offer quality food anytime it’s open, instead of relying on occasional food trucks. It will still add food trucks for special events like the Cherry Blossom Festival.

“It fills a void that Davis needs,” Fry said. “It’s a home-grown place for the community to gather over good beer and good food.”

Families are welcome, and dogs are permitted outside.

Sudwerk Brewing Co. was founded in 1989 by two Davis locals with German roots — determined to share the taste of true German lagers. As a craft beer pioneer, Sudwerk evolved into the most-awarded brewery in the Sacramento region, pushing the boundaries of traditional lagers.

Proudly independent, the brewery and kitchen are family owned and operated at 2001 Second St., Davis.

Marrone Bio product for hemp gets the OK from EPA Special to The Enterprise Marrone Bio Innovations Inc., a Davis-based maker of sustainable bioprotection and plant-health solutions, announced on Wednesday that two of its biofungicide products — Stargus and Regalia — have been approved by the federal Environmental Protection Agency for indoor and outdoor use on hemp plants.

Stargus and Regalia improve hemp plant quality and yield, as well as treat and protect hemp plants from a range of diseases, including powdery mildew, botrytis bud rot, sclerotinia white mold, and fusarium rots and wilts. This is the first time that the EPA has approved crop protection products on hemp since the crop became legal to grow under the 2018 Farm Bill.

“With more than $1.1 billion in revenues in 2018, the hemp market is projected to more than double by 2022,” said Dr. Pamela Marrone, CEO and founder of Marrone Bio Innovations.

“This is an exciting opportunity for Marrone

Bio to extend our business into a rapidly growing market, which will only continue to grow as the acres continue to expand. With Stargus and Regalia now approved at the federal level for hemp, we are well positioned to grow alongside this burgeoning market.”

Chemical pesticides dominate today’s $60 billion global pesticides market, but the fastest-growing category of crop inputs is biologicals. When integrated into crop production

and pest management programs, biologicals can offer higher-quality crops and better yields. Both products are applicable for organic farming as well.

The bacteria in Stargus work by colonizing plant root hairs, leaves and other plant surfaces, thereby preventing establishment of fungal and bacterial pathogens. The Stargus bacteria also produce natural compounds that inhibit detrimental bacterial, fungal growth and spore germination. Further, the Stargus

bacteria trigger immune responses in the plant to ward off diseases and increase both growth and yield, creating a healthier and stronger plant.

MBI’s Regalia Biofungicide, based on a plant extract, delivers better yield and improved harvest quality. Regalia helps to

frequently children — ride on the north sidewalk, city staff report.

“Additionally, no traffic control exists on Tulip at its intersection with Ponteverde Lane, further increasing safety concerns for southbound bicyclists on Tulip Lane turning left to eastbound Ponteverde Lane.”

This section of roadway was noted as an area of concern following safety audits conducted at 11 Davis schools in 2013.

The audits, commissioned by the city, were aimed at uncovering and, where possible, addressing safety hazards that children encounter while biking or walking to school.

Given the hazards found at that intersection, the Suggested Routes to School maps prepared for both Korematsu and Harper Junior High School were changed to recommend students bypass that section of the

bike loop altogether by staying on Loyola when traveling east and west.

Marina highlighted the hazards at Tulip and Ponteverde in a letter to the City Council in 2015, telling the council, “In the time I’ve lived basically on this crossing (less than a year) I’ve almost gotten hit by a car several times,” Marina wrote.

“That crossing needs to be changed for my safety and the safety of others.

To improve this crossing would make a lot of your citizens a lot safer and happier. Kids and adults at Korematsu and all over Davis thank you dearly if you can make this happen.”

The letter to the City Council was just one of the actions Marina undertook as part of her Girl Scout Bronze Award project that year.

The city responded, including by approving a capital improvement budget for the project in 2018 and tasking an engineering consultant

with designing options.

On Tuesday, the City Council will review those options, including extending the bike path through the greenbelt to the northeast corner of Tulip and Ponteverde and adding median islands in the intersection for bicycle and pedestrian protection.

During meetings last year of the city’s Bicycle, Transportation, Street Safety Commission, residents also expressed a concern about the speed of some motorists on Tulip Lane and asked for a traffic calming component, an extension of the path west through the intersection and a rapid flashing beacon to be added, city staff said.

Tuesday’s council meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. in the community chambers at 23 Russell Blvd.

GLOBALIZED: Finding a local context From Page A1 Those goals include working towards clean and affordable energy, gender equality, climate action and reduced inequalities, amongst other goals.

Davis emphasized that all the challenges of the greatest global significance are unfolding in our immediate environment.

“The global challenges must always work themselves out in a local context,” Davis said, adding that his time in local government gave him “an amazing glimpse into how we’re solving global problems locally.”

By helping students identify these challenges and engage with them locally, Davis said, UC Davis will equip them to work on similar issues as they begin careers in California or elsewhere. “When they leave here they have this appreciation and preparation to succeed in terms of addressing these wherever they end up.”

For example, what can students learn from the 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise?

By looking at this disaster and the response to it, Davis said students could learn about climate change, fire preparedness and response, and refugee resettlement, issues that countries around the world are grappling with.

Global learning is relevant to any number of disciplines, Davis said.

“Students could learn from water quality experts dealing with the fallout of the Camp Fire on water

systems in that community; from local health authorities who had to deal with the population movement of 20,000 people.”

Interpersonal skill, wide horizon For students to thrive in a globalized world, they need more than academic and industry skills, according to Davis. They also need interpersonal skills, some of which may come not from looking around the world but from looking inward.

“Identity is an important piece,” Davis said. “Who am I? What informs the way I approach problem-solving in the world? Maybe more importantly, what informs the way I approach problem definition in the world?

“That’s a combination of where I’m from, my family, my socioeconomic status, my prior experiences crossing borders or not, the community I grew up in, my personal values.

How does my personal and social identity inform the way I approach things and how do I recognize that not everybody shares that?”

Davis wants students to be asking these questions during their time at UC Davis. According to him, there is nothing sentimental about understanding these concepts.

“It’s pragmatic,” he said. “We’ve got global issues that we have got to deal with. Conflicts require us to work across boundaries. The

Recliners • Sofas • Sleepers • Sectionals • Home Office • Bedroom • Dining

next global pandemic will require us to work across boundaries. How are we going to make sure we can do that?”

Davis is drawing from lessons learned over the course of an international career — he lived and worked in West Africa for 20 years — as well as from City Hall. “I’d like to think what I was able to do as mayor was bring people together to solve problems,” he said.

Presenting a counter-narrative The necessity to work together to achieve global objectives, Davis said, is especially critical in the current political environment.

“When I was in office, I felt like every time I stood in front of a crowd of people and told them we would find a way forward together — which I unfortunately had to do from time to time — I was standing against what the administration in Washington is doing,” Davis said. “I never doubted that it was the right thing to do.”

Davis said he viewed his job as mayor and his

current work at Global Affairs as “presenting a counter-narrative” to the one being preached — and practiced — in the Oval Office. “If the prevailing narrative is fear of the other, is isolation away from people, is suspicion of people, is ‘my country right or wrong,’ we are creating a counter-narrative.”

The counter-narrative, Davis said, is that “we can collaborate and we must collaborate.”

Working together should not be motivated by a “kumbaya feeling” feeling, he insisted.

“This is pragmatic. This is about not running away from conflict, but engaging it.”

At the end of the day, Davis said, he relishes the opportunities he has to foster collaboration and reach across boundaries.

“We here locally and at this university, every single day we have an opportunity to influence a narrative that is contrary to what’s being said,” Davis said. “That’s what gets me out of bed in the morning.”

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

SUNDAY, JANUARY 12, 2020 A7

It’s still not too late to vaccinate for the flu Special to The Enterprise Public health experts at the Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency want to encourage residents to get the flu vaccine, if they have not yet received it this season. Pregnant women especially should get the immunization.

The flu vaccine is one of the most important ways to prevent

getting with flu, as well as the best way to protect others in the community. While some people who are immunized may still get infected with the virus, the flu vaccine can drastically reduce the length and severity of the illness.

For individuals ages 2 to 49 who are uncomfortable with injections, a nasal spray called FluMist is available through most

primary-care providers and clinics.

In addition to getting the flu shot, everyone can follow these simple steps to help stop spreading the flu: ■ Wash hands often with soap and water.

■ Regularly clean commonly touched surfaces, such as countertops, doorknobs and telephones.

■ Avoid sharing cups, straws or anything that goes in the mouth.

If you do get sick: ■ Stay home.

■ Cover your nose and mouth when you cough and sneeze, and promptly discard used tissues.

■ If you catch symptoms early, you can talk to your doctor to get antiviral drugs to help moderate the illness and shorten the time

you are sick.

“Getting vaccinated is one of the best ways to prevent a severe illness and protect those in our community who are more vulnerable to the potentially devastating effects of the flu,” said Yolo County Health Officer Dr. Ron Chapman.

OBITUARIES Richard A. Dole

Bonnie (Gettle) Harmon

June 1, 1932 — Nov. 27, 2019 Richard Alexander Dole died peacefully at his home in Davis, surrounded by his loving family, on Nov. 27, 2019, at the age of 87.

Sandy (or Dick, as he was also known) was born in Honolulu in the Territory of Hawaii on June 1, 1932, to Nedra (Johnson) and Richard Alexander Dole Sr. He lived most of his life in Palo Alto, where he graduated from Palo Alto High School in 1950 and from Stanford University, with a degree in chemistry, in 1955.

Highlights from his youth included root beer floats at the Southern Pacific station in Palo Alto (which he enjoyed before heading out on his San Francisco Call-Bulletin paper route), biking with friends to Searsville Lake, playing football for the “Paly” Vikings (once carrying the ball seven yards while the crowd gasped) and, at the age of 19, spending three weeks at sea returning a Transpac yacht to San Francisco from Honolulu.

Sandy met his wife, Betty Armstrong, through a Stanford acrobatics troupe. They were married for 63 years, until Betty’s death in May 2018. Together they raised two children, Jefferey, who died in 2008,

July 16, 1944 — Sept. 14, 2019

and Janet, a resident of Davis.

His career included work as a chemist for Sunkist, a mail handler for the U.S. Post Office, and an engineering aide for the Santa Clara County Department of Public Works, from which he retired in the 1990s. He belonged to the Knights of Columbus and Sons in Retirement.

Among his favorite pastimes were fly fishing in Wawona, reading novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs and James Fenimore Cooper, attending Stanford football games, and playing with his grandchildren. In later years he studied chess and played games through the mail with his father and brother. He also loved to swim and could still do a “one-and-a-half ” off the diving board at Palo Alto’s Rinconada Park well past retirement age.

Besides Janet and her husband, Joe Krovoza, Sandy leaves two beloved granddaughters, Charlotte and Lillian Krovoza; his brother, Richard B. Dole (Susan); his sister, Lynn Marley (Craig); and two nieces and a nephew.

Services will be private. Gifts in Sandy’s memory may be made to the Yosemite Conservancy or a charity of the donor’s choice.

David Scofield Wilson May 26, 1931 — Dec. 7, 2019

David Scofield Wilson passed away peacefully at Enloe Medical Center in Chico on Dec. 7, 2019, at age 88. He was born in Minneapolis on May 26, 1931, to Grace Scofield Wilson and Harold Lewis Wilson. He graduated from Southwest High School and went on to earn his bachelor’s degree and Ph.D. in American studies at the University of Minnesota.

His first college teaching was in the English Department at SUNY, Cortland. Subsequently, in 1968 he accepted a teaching position at UC Davis, in English and American studies. Later as a professor fully in the American Studies Program, he developed and taught courses on the Sacramento Valley, nature and culture, and religion in America.

He was keenly interested in the many connections between nature and culture and relished researching and writing about the cultural implications of such subjects as Sacramento Valley tomatoes (the infamous “square” tomato suitable for machine harvesting), rattlesnakes, flying spiders and the Sutter Buttes.

For a number of years, he also helped lead hikes into the Buttes for the then Middle Mountain Foundation, and inspired students to study nature during numerous camping trips. He also pushed his students to connect with nature through contour drawing, for which he published a small how-to-draw pamphlet. He was an active and engaged colleague as the American Studies Program developed unique curricula in such areas as popular culture, folklore and folklife, foodways and ethnicity.

He was proud of his book “In the Presence of Nature” (1978 ) and of his scholarly presentations and contributions of a number of published articles on American culture.

David’s commitment to peace and justice had strong roots in his father’s and mother’s values, values he stood for all his life and which led him to become a Quaker, also appreciating the Quakers’ silent worship and social action. He was an ardent defender of social justice and civil rights, spending many Saturdays at the Chico Peace Vigil at 3rd and Main. A lifelong Democrat, he strongly supported the Chico Peace and Justice Center and LGBTQ rights.

With his first wife, Bonnie Stahler, he had two children, David Jr. (Jenny Wu) and Deirdre Glynn-Wilson (Allison Glynn). In 1987 he married Sarah Emily Newton and found great love and a sympathetic like-mindedness that lasted his whole life.

Together, he and Emily enjoyed watercolor and acrylic painting and relished good food, dogs, birding, hiking and travel, both in the United States and Europe.

A man of great heart and generosity, a gentleman’s gentleman, a true friend, a teacher, poet, intellectual, artist, naturalist, peace activist, once an ice skater, rower and runner, David is survived by his beloved wife Sarah Emily; sisters Anne Orfald and Kay Hensgens; children David and Deirdre and their families; grandchildren Julia, Grace, Ian and Rachel; and numerous nieces and nephews.

After some years of medical issues and difficult rehabilitation, he has now walked on, or perhaps run, beyond pain and disability. He is deeply loved and missed.

A celebration of his life will begin at 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 8, at the Chico Women’s Club, 592 E. Third St. in Chico. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the Jesus Center or Chico Peace and Justice Center. To send condolences to the family please visit www.bidwellchapel.com.

Henning ‘Hank’ Bruett May. 4, 1930 — Jan. 1, 2020

Henning Bruett, longtime resident of Davis, passed away peacefully on New Year’s Day at the Carlton Plaza after a long bout with COPD and cancer.

Hank was born in Brunsbüttel-Koog, a small coastal town in Germany on the North Sea. He was the youngest of three boys. At the age of 19, with $40 in his pocket and not knowing a word of English, Hank crossed the Atlantic on a freighter to seek his fortune in the New World. Once in New York, Hank boarded a greyhound bus across the U.S. to the Bay Area to live with his uncle and begin his new adventure.

He worked for PG&E, SMUD and Valley Elevator before becoming a successful real estate investor and running an electrical contracting business.

He met and married Rhoda Covington while

working for PG&E in Solano County.

Hank was kind to everyone, had an infectious positive attitude and strong work ethic. His life philosophy was contained in the mantras “enjoy every day and each other”,” attitude is everything” and “never go to bed mad”.

He was preceded in death by the love of his life, his wife of 63 years, Rhoda. He is survived by his sons Brooks (Kelly) and Jeff (Donna); and grandchildren Max, Scott and Ashley.

He will be remembered with great fondness by all who knew him.

A Memorial Service followed by a reception will begin at 2:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 24, at Davis Community Church, 412 C St. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St Jude’s Children’s Hospital or Davis Community Church.

Bonnie (Gettle) Harmon, born July 16, 1944, in San Francisco, passed away on Sept. 14 after a years-long battle with failing health.

A proud native of San Francisco, she attended San Francisco State University and graduated from their nursing program in 1967, where she and Elizabeth were the first mother/ daughter team to be enrolled in the nursing program at the same time. After graduation, she worked for Kaiser Permanente Hospital where she met and married R. Barry Engrahm and together they had two children, Tracy Engrahm and Joel Engrahm.

After a brief stay in Germany, the Engrahm’s moved to Sacramento where Bonnie continued her work at Kaiser and remained for the next 45 years.

Bonnie had a second chance at love when she met her husband Bud Harmon and together they set up a new home in Davis.

Before her passing, Bud and Bonnie celebrated

Barbara Elizabeth Inderbitzen Nov. 7, 1930 — Sept. 15, 2019

Barbara (Hanel) Inderbitzen passed away peacefully on Sept. 15, 2019, at the University Retirement Center in Davis.

Barbara was born on Nov. 7, 1930, in Cameron, Texas, the second of six children of Adolph and Mary Hanel.

In 1947, her family left Cameron to reside in Houston.

Following her graduation from Houston’s Aldine High School in 1948, Barbara worked at secretarial jobs in the Houston area.

In 1952, at the invitation of her aunt Frances, Barbara moved to Oakland, where she worked as a secretary in Alameda County Health Department.

Barbara met her future husband, Rudy Inderbitzen, in April 1954, and the two were married on Aug. 21, 1954, in Houston, Texas.

They celebrated 63 years of marriage together.

After their wedding, Barbara and Rudy resided in Davis where they raised two sons.

Barbara retired in 1992 after working many years at UC Davis, primarily in the School of Veterinary Medicine.

In retirement, Barbara and Rudy enjoyed traveling to visit their son David and daughter-in-law Cathy during their assignments internationally and in the U.S. Barbara is survived her son David, and daughter-in-law Cathy.

She was preceded in death by her husband Rudy, son Jim, parents Adolph and Mary Hanel, brother Greg Hanel and sisters Frances Marek and Martha Davis.

A memorial mass will be held at 11 a.m.

Saturday, Jan. 18, at St. James Catholic Church, 1275 B St. in Davis, with a reception immediately following.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the General Scholarship Fund of St. James School, 1215 B St., Davis CA 95616; phone 530-756-3946.

Edith Hsiao

Nov. 20, 1933 — Nov. 11, 2019 Edith Hsiao, a residence of Davis since 1963, was a force of nature. Her energy, intelligence, grace and caring left an impression on everyone she met over her nearly 86 years.

A homemaker and wonderful cook, she inadvertently developed a global reputation; her gracious hosting of visitors and students from many countries extended her renown to six continents, and was an important factor contributing to the academic career of her husband Ted Hsiao. Her open and curious nature meant she could talk to anyone, and her extensive linguistic repertoire (German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, rudimentary Chinese and a smattering of Hindi and Latin) certainly helped.

An adventurous spirit, she and Ted loved traveling, visiting friends, former students and new places throughout the world.

Peggy Peterson

Aug. 14, 1923 — Dec. 23, 2019 Peggy Peterson died Dec. 23 at her home in Davis. She was born Aug. 14, 1923, in Illogan, Cornwall, England to Florance and Joseph Rowett.

She married Roy Peterson (deceased) during World War II, in Redruth, Cornwall. They came to the U.S. in 1944, settling in California. Living in England during the war was not easy but neither was crossing the Atlantic. Adaptable, she set up many homes with moves due to project changes in Roy’s aerospace engineering. A favorite place was Lancaster on the Mojave Desert when it was small in the ‘50s.

Peggy had two children, Jeanette (deceased) and Roy, Jr. Jeanette (Phillips) had two children, Michael and Marilyn. Michael has a

their 35th wedding anniversary.

In addition to her work as a registered nurse, Bonnie also took up photography and worked side by side with Bud for more than 30 years. She was recognized for her talent in nursing and photography and received the craftsman degree from The Professional Photographers of America and was recognized by The American Society of Photographers.

Bonnie is preceded in death by her first husband Barry and her parents Elizabeth and Howard Gettle. She is survived by her husband Bud; step-mother Doris Gettle; two children, Tracy and Joel (Amy); four grandchildren, Adam, Dani, Cassie and Justin; sisters Micky (Ken) Shaw and Carol Rathmann; and numerous nieces and nephews.

At Bonnie’s request, a celebration of life will be held at The Odd Fellows’ Lodge in Davis on Saturday, Jan. 18 at 1:00 pm.

Please contact Bud for details at budharmon@sbcglobal.net or (916) 952-3143.

son Benjamin Phillips. Nephews and nieces live in Cornwall, and throughout the Midwest and West.

In 1991 Peggy moved to Davis to live near her son, settling in the newly forming Mace Ranch.

Peggy was a devoted mother and wife who enjoyed homemaking, especially knitting and sowing.

She created with love, including tasteful meals.

She had a quick eye for assessment and a quick mind for a solution. Growing up with a blind mother and not knowing her father, she was self-reliant and resourceful in making do with the available. Happy, often with a smile, at her core were a Christian belief, a strong determination, and a love of her family.

Edith’s sons, Terence Hsiao and Gregor Hsiao, were happily dragged along in her wake, anticipating adventure yet secure in the knowledge that she’d be able to talk through or deal with any situation that came up.

She loved her four grandchildren, Melina, Leilani, Karsten and Meilani deeply and took justified pride in them. Edith was a gracious and constant friend. German through and through, she kept a gemütliches house, taught both of her sons the language and regularly saw her family and childhood friends in Germany where her two sisters, five nephews, and one niece live.

She passed away from cancer at home on Nov. 11, surrounded by her family and blessed with friends who came to see her at the end. A remembrance gathering for family and friends will be held in the afternoon of Jan. 25 in Davis.

Martin Lee Harris Sept. 24, 1939 — Jan. 2, 2020

Martin died on Jan. 2 with his wife, Ann, and his daughters, Mary and Megan, by his side.

He was born in England to Gerald and Norah Harris and was the middle son of three brothers. He met Ann at London University and they celebrated their 53rd anniversary on his 80th birthday, Sept. 24, 2019.

Martin and Ann came to the United States in 1968, and after working for Westinghouse and several small companies, Martin was accepted to the Stanford University School of Education. He received a master’s degree in 1972 and his Ph.D. in 1976. His career was spent working for the California Department of Education and teaching at Sacramento State, and UC Davis Extension. He was

also the author of “Introduction to Data Processing” and was delighted when it was translated into Spanish.

He is survived by his wife, Ann, his daughters Mary and Megan (Michael), his two grandchildren Madeleine and Matthew, his brother Andrew (Sue), and his (deceased) brother Peter’s family in New Mexico. No services are planned at this time. During his lifetime, Martin was an advocate for services to people with developmental disabilities and served on the board of Summer House Inc. His family knows that he would be delighted if his friends and colleagues continued this support, especially for Summer House Davis and cheering on the Special Olympics Team Davis.

TWENTIES

THE HERE’S TO A HEALTHY MIND & BODY

Reinvent resolutions the SMART way

BY AMY SPENCE Special to The Enterprise Resolution season is upon us! A time to make big changes, eliminate food groups, exercise to extremes. The better, new, improved version of you is just around the corner... what are you waiting for?

But did you know only eight percent of people who make a New Year’s resolution actually keep it?

What if we pause and decide to roar into this new decade differently? With ease, small steps, and some practicality.

S: Specific — Specific goals are easy to understand. For instance, make a goal of “doing 10 pushups” rather than “increasing upper arm strength.”

M: Measurable — Measurability allows you to determine whether you achieved your goal — “I will run a mile in 10 minutes by the end of next month.”

A: Attainable — The best goals

Start S.M.A.R.T. Typically resolutions focus on what you should not be doing versus what you

should strive to be. Resolutions tend to be all or nothing — black or white — while goals are small, daily steps that connect to long-term goals, plans and dreams. The start of the New Year is a great time to think about what you want to accomplish in the coming months.

There are many benefits to setting goals. Goals direct your focus and attention. They help you remain persistent in the face of adversity. They increase your selfconfidence and help you develop problem-solving strategies. They help you train smarter and harder. The bottom line is that when you set effective goals, they help you perform up to your potential.

Research conducted within sport psychology suggests that the world’s best athletes have clear, simple, targeted daily goals. They know what they want to accomplish each day and each workout. They know how their daily goals connect to their long-term goals, plans and dreams.

As we start off 2020, consider setting goals instead of resolutions.

Eliminate “My New Year’s Resolution is…” from your vocabulary and instead dedicate your time and effort toward setting and achieving your goals. Just think of what you will accomplish!

Here are five simple steps to consider when setting goals:

require you to stretch a bit to achieve them and they are realistic ... not impossible to

achieve.

R: Relevant — Make your goals relevant to your needs and situation. If you want to run a 5K in six months, focus on exercises that will increase your stamina and cardiovascular conditioning.

T: Timely — Set a deadline. Goals must have a clearly defined time frame including a start and completion date.

Write down those goals! People are more successful if they write down their goals. A study of Harvard alumni suggests that the three percent of alumni who wrote down their goals at graduation made more money combined 30 years later than the 97 percent who did not.

or weekly. This is an important step that many people miss. We tend to think about our goals, but don’t write a plan that includes short-term daily or weekly goals. Someone who is trying to lose a certain amount of weight this year should break that total into smaller monthly goals.

Adjust as needed.

Include a plan to adjust your goals.

Many of us think that when we set a goal we can’t change it.

Life sometimes gets in the way. If we get injured during training, we may have to readjust our goals.

Stay flexible!

Find accountability. Ask someone to sign your plan.

This person can help hold you accountable for your goals and support you in the process. Think carefully about who you choose. It should be someone who can be honest with you when the going gets tough.

Connect in community.

ids in Davis schools have more than 25 sanctioned sports from which to choose. And while that selection seems to sate the ambitions of most energetic locals, in the past five years a new diversion has come to the attention of Blue Devil studentathletes — mountain bike racing.

The Davis mountain biking team, featuring riders of mostly high-school age, has 12 ultra-committed participants who are about to embark upon yet another spring season.

Founder Mike Fee and some of the squad’s participants recently took time to shed light on the draw of this far-reaching pastime and why it’s a great alternative to traditional prep sports.

“It’s a total adventure,” Fee told The Enterprise. “A typical weekend is where we often camp out near the race site ... and make it an all-day, allweekend affair.

“Each race is between an hour and

two hours, and along the way the kids have to think about what they’re eating, they have to keep themselves safe on the trails and they obviously have to be in condition.

“Yeah, it’s a hazardous sport, and there’s a lot of skill involved, but there also is a lot of endurance involved. It’s the real deal.”

T

he Davis High contingent races in the north conference of the NorCal High School Cycling League.

Teams from diverse regions — from Monterey to the Oregon border — are involved, and the regular season, which starts in early March at Redding, consists of six races.

Fee notes that the races are run on layouts with varying degrees of difficulty: “The courses are laid out to be somewhere from not terribly technical — smooth, flowy trails — to quite difficult, very rocky: really, really challenging toward the end of the season.”

The loss at UC Riverside on Thursday night was going to be either a distress signal or a wake-up call for the Aggie basketball women.

UC Davis had lost four of five going into a Saturday matinee with visiting Hawaii, and there was concern among fans that the Rainbow Wahine would have a long memory — harkening back to blowing a 17-point lead against UCD in the 2019 Big West Tournament title tilt.

But with a stifling secondquarter defense — and a combined 36 points from Aggie leading-scorer Katie Toole and emerging Makaila Sanders — Davis got the job done, beating its visitors, 62-49.

“After the loss on Thursday we took accountability,” explained Aggie head coach Gross. “The rebounding (in the 75-70 loss at Riverside) was an area where we were really unhappy with. Then we turned around (Saturday) and had one of our best rebounding performances.

“We brought a lot of urgency and focus to the boards. Really pleased with how we bounced back from something we struggled with and turned that into a strength today.”

Davis held the caromcount advantage, 46-33. It allowed but 4 points in the second quarter and only 7 in the third. At one point, the locals opened a 24-point bulge.

A catalyst surely came

DAVIS HIGH BOYS BASKETBALL

After third straight loss, locals get No. 5 Sheldon

BY OWEN YANCHER Enterprise staff writer The Davis High boys basketball team is set to face its toughest test yet this Wednesday when MaxPreps’ top-ranked Northern California team Sheldon visits town for a 7 p.m. tipoff.

The No. 5 team in the state, the Huskies have consistently drawn quadruple-digit crowds, both at home and on the road the past several years, with their major draw being the unit’s absurd aerial abilities.

Soon-to-be Arizona State Sun Devil Marcus Bagley has been worth the price of admission.

The Huskies have not lost a game to Davis since transitioning into the

Devil boys play strangest match H

igh school soccer is back, and I’m, honestly, bittersweet about it.

There are few things I love more than covering my favorite sport at Davis High, but the fact that both the boys and the girls share the same season is both good and bad for me.

I like having a three-month period where all I do is go to games. I become superimmersed with what’s going on and just watch soccer from January to March if the teams preform well.

But that also means that during the spring and fall I don’t get to watch high-school soccer.

What was once a marathon is now a sprint, and I don’t know which I prefer, even if I will admit that from a club perspective, it’s probably better to play in the winter.

And that sprint continued this

week with one of the strangest soccer games I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

I’ve been to hundreds of matches at every level in at least 15 countries, and I’ve never seen one like the DHS-Franklin game on Wednesday.

Back in the day when Goal TV was a real channel, they used to show legendary moments in soccer games as commercials.

One of those moments was Argentine legend Martin Palermo taking and missing three penalties in the same match against Colombia (if I remember correctly).

I’ve always thought that that would be the strangest moment I’d ever see in soccer regarding penalty kicks.

And then Wednesday happened ...

There were five — five — penalties, the first three of which

went to the Devils.

I’m not sure I have anything coherent or interesting to say about this because I don’t really think there’s anything coherent or interesting to say about something that is pretty much unprecedented.

I’m also not faulting the referee, because I don’t believe criticizing officials is conducive to anything positive — obviously the one exception is Game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals in the NBA.

You go to enough soccer games and eventually you’ll see something crazy.

I was there when Sacramento Republic FC came back from a 2-0 deficit to beat LA Galaxy II, 3-2, in regular time.

That game also featured penalties, two of them, and even that was controversial.

This one had five. I don’t know what to write other than there were five penalties in a game, and as long as I keep going to soccer games, I don’t think I’ll see that again.

T

hat’s why you go to games, though. The majority of them don’t have dramatic storylines or talking points, but every now and then you see something truly special. Or in this case, just something unique.

I don’t know.

Meanwhile, Davis versus Jesuit is just not the same anymore.

When I was a junior at Da Vinci Academy, Davis High was ranked No. 3 in the nation and featured future MLSer Jalil Anibaba, whose natural foil was also a future Major League Soccer player: Jesuit’s Adam Jahn.

Forget what you know about the support of traditional highschool powerhouse sports. Football was good but just whatever.

Basketball only drew big crowds when Woodland came to town.

The big game in Davis was DHS versus Jesuit at Yudin Field.

And with the way that game was, it could never happen in 2020.

Davis High will play Jesuit this week at Playfields Park, but it won’t be the same.

A decade ago, the entire town came out for this. Yudin Field

LOCALS: Out of the frying pan ...

From Page B1 football team this fall, Allen knows a bit about adversity. His Blue Devil gridiron gang won its first conference title in 25 years this past November.

“With the football team, we faced it,” Allen said of taking your lumps. “So we’re trying to do the same thing here now — just trying to improve every game and every practice.”

No more than 5 points separated DHS and Elk Grove on Friday through the opening three quarters of play. While The Herd was ice cold from 3-point land in the first half, Davis High struggled each trip to the charity stripe.

As has been the case in all but two games this season, DHS left major points off the board, converting just 11-of-22 tries at the free-throw line.

Roasting The Herd from downtown Friday, senior point guard Cody Taylor nailed five 3-point field goals en route to a team-leading 22 points for the Devils. The outing saw him finish just a single tick shy of a career night, but it was the play of Elk Grove post Dajon Lott that stole the spotlight. His 28 points were indeed a career-high, while Ameere Britton netted an additional 19 for The Herd.

“They got in our heads,” added Allen, who tallied 3 points of his own and dished out a pair of assists. “We said it in the team room, that we lost because of what was between our ears.”

For the second straight game, it was a late run spanning the end of the third period into the fourth in which the Devils’ opponent surged ahead. This time, it was a 13-0 swell that buried the locals.

Blue Devil Alan Favela (3) hauls down a rebound in the midst of a crowd in Friday’s game against Elk Grove.

“Like we said all season long in football,” Allen went on, “the next game’s always the biggest game, whether it’s Sheldon or not.”

But Sheldon it is on Wednesday.

Plan to get there early if you want a seat, school officials report.

Notes: Devils Ryan Hakl and Keaton Massey were also on fire from long range Friday, each hitting 3-pointers to end the

game with 7 and 8 points, respectively. Collin Yee added 10 and Joey Asta scored 4 to go along with his five rebounds and trio of steals. DHS shot 11 for 39 from beyond the arc and 21 for 66 (31 percent) overall.

With the win, Elk Grove improved to 15-3 overall and 2-0 in league play. ... Across the Causeway on Friday, Jesuit kicked Cosumnes Oaks to the curb, 67-51. ... In junior varsity play Friday, the Blue Crew

gutted out a 60-59 victory over The Herd. Brett Wiebe (8 points, seven rebounds), Clark Chen (8 points) and Ryan Jaramillo (9) spearheaded the effort to help DHS improve to 6-5 overall and 2-0 in Delta play. The JV Devils are set to host Sheldon on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m.

Devil girls’ rally falls short Eisenman’s 18 keeps Davis in Delta encounter

BY LEV FARRIS GOLDENBERG Enterprise staff writer An eight-game win streak is tough to stop … but so is a Thundering Herd.

Elk Grove prevailed at home on Friday night, ending the Blue Devil girls’ four-week sabbatical from the loss column with a 49-41 victory.

Davis High’s Emme Eisenman dropped a career-best 18 points, dueling with The Herd’s Maya Chelini (game-high 19), but Davis fell to 9-6 on the season and 1-1 in the Delta League.

“It was a tough game, and it got away from us,” said local head coach Heather Highshoe.

“I know we have another chance

at them, but I wish that we could do that one over again.”

Elk Grove improved to 5-12 and 2-0 i conference.

The Blue Crew will hope to start another win streak when it visits Sheldon (11-7, 0-1) on Tuesday at 7 p.m.

On Friday, it was a perfect storm against DHS. Senior captain Surina Beal got called for two fouls in the first 10 seconds of the game and sat until intermission.

Skylar Schouten — who poured in 17 against Cosumnes Oaks on Tuesday — sat most of the second and third periods with three fouls.

The Devils committed 16 first-half turnovers (23 total) and missed all six of their 3-point attempts.

Luckily for Davis, Eisenman was ablaze in the first quarter, scoring four times and getting to the line for two more.

Unluckily for DHS, the junior

REAM: Strange From Page B1 doesn’t accommodate a lot of fans in the stands, so instead a mass of people would just appear and surround the field. One year, more than 2,000 showed for this contest.

It would go four- or five-bodies deep around the entire pitch, and, looking back on it now, it seems like a legitimate safety concern.

The sideline referees would have to constantly ask people to stand back because at any time in the game, it was just one moment away from everybody storming the field.

I get why this can’t exist anymore, but I also feel like we’ve lost something because of it.

Last year, there were maybe 100 people in the stands for this once-proud matchup — and they were all separated from the field by the racing track at Brown Stadium.

There was, literally, no atmosphere, and it didn’t even seem like a rivalry anymore.

This has been compounded by the fact that all the best players from all the schools in the area seem to be opting out of high school soccer to play for the Republic, which I think is better for the development of these players, but worse for our soccer culture.

At least at this Wednesday’s game at Playfields (1:15 p.m.), the fans will be a mere 15 feet from the pitch.

I just don’t expect that many of them to come because what was once a can’t-miss experience is now kind of “meh.”

We’re all worse off for that.

Herd 49, Devils 41

guard was the only Devil with a field goal in the Next game: first half, and Wednesday at the locals Sheldon, 7 p.m. trailed 23-14 at the break.

But Davis made a run in the third.

With 5-11 senior Mele Finau riding The Grove bench with her own foul trouble, the Devils fed the ball inside to Caitlin McMillan and Mara Bledsoe, who contributed a personalbest 13 points off the bench.

Both towers hit two shots as DHS pulled within 3 points.

“That helped us make our little comeback,” Highshoe said of Finau’s absence. “Because then we were able to take advantage of Mara and Caitlin inside.

“Mara had a huge game for us,” Highshoe added. “Stepped in big time when Skylar had to go out.”

Davis shot 9 of 13 from the stripe during crunch time, and Eisenman bucketed 8 in the fourth, but The Herd held on for its third straight victory.

The Huskies are up next, coming off a Delta-opening loss to Franklin on Tuesday.

“As we know from previous years, going into Sheldon’s gym is not easy either, so we just have to do a good job of executing our gameplan,” Highshoe told the Enterprise. “There’s no doubt in my mind that we’ll bounce back from this.”

Notes: DHS has found the free-throw line to be natural habitat this season ... Just halfway through the schedule, the Devils have already attempted 344 freebies after shooting 61 percent on 419 attempts last year. ... The Blue Crew shot 17 of 30 from the stripe on Friday, in line with its 51-percent season mark.

DHS ROUNDUP

DHS boys in soccer tie Enterprise staff Just two days after giving up a threegoal lead to fall against Franklin, the Davis High boys soccer team was back in action Friday against Pleasant Grove.

But unlike Wednesday’s goal-fest, Friday’s match against PG didn’t feature a single strike from either team and ended in a scoreless tie.

“It was a tough game,” said captain Cayden Hotaling. “We had a good amount of chances, but we couldn’t put anything away.”

The result gives the Devils a 6-2-1 record on the season and a 1-1-1 mark in league play.

Next up, DHS will face arguably its biggest challenge in the young season as it hosts rival Jesuit on Wednesday at 1:15 p.m. at Playfields Park.

The Marauders have been nearly perfect on the season, going 9-1 while sitting atop the Delta League standings with a 3-0 record.

“After the unfortunate game against Franklin and the tie against Pleasant Grove, we feel that it’s time to change something right now,” Hotaling said.

“We’re due for something good to happen.

“We’re ready to go and excited to take it to Jesuit, and it’s going to be nothing but a war,” he added. “And Davis High is ready to win that war. We feel really well

and are itching at the chance to play Jesuit and win the game.”

Wrestling The girls wrestling team finished 26th out of 193 teams in the Napa Valley Classic — arguably, one of the top tournaments in the country — this weekend.

Junior Adrienna Turner finished second with a 4-1 record, falling only to the No. 1-ranked and reigning state champion Cristelle Rodriguez of Buchanan High.

“Gotta beat the best to be the best, and that’s what my eyes are set on,” Turner said. “I know what I have to change in order to make that happen, I will, and I am going to come back stronger” DHS junior Emma Bordios reached the second day of competition with her 3-2 record.

Meanwhile, the boys took part in the Tim Brown Memorial Invitational Tournament in Sacramento and placed 23rd out of 128 teams.

Junior Zach Brooks, who went 4-1 and finished second after defeating a higher-ranked wrestler.

Also placing was junior Ethan Rosendale, who was seventh with a 6-2 mark.

The Devils return to the mat Tuesday for the first dual match of the season, where they will face Elk Grove and Sheldon beginning at 5 p.m.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

The best has yet to come Dear Annie: I am a very lucky 67-yearold. I have a job I enjoy every day, a happy marriage, wonderful children and grandchildren, and my health is excellent. I also know that, life being what it is, I am likely to be dead or at least confined to an assisted living center in a decade. I’ve had a great life and am ready for death, if that is what comes next.

Residing in an assisted living center is what scares me. Being confined to a small space with other old people, watching television or playing cards all day while hoping for a visitor who sees it as a chore to visit me and waiting for the next meal that is the same as last week’s meal — it all seem so dreary. How do people prepare themselves for this? Sure, I can stay focused on what I do and enjoy today. But things won’t be the same 10 years from now. How do I prepare for that?

Already, I am seen differently because of my age, and that has caused me to start thinking differently. I’ve always been interested in politics and public policy. I’ve always been active in our community. I’ve served on a number of local nonprofit boards. I’ve helped with some big projects that will benefit people for a long time.

Now, however, when I go to a community meeting, even though I am careful not to talk too much, I can tell that I am regarded as that old guy who is fading away. And in truth, I understand. I was once one of those young fired-up community leaders who was always thinking about what could be done to make things better for the next generation. Now that I won’t be around long enough to see that new park built or that new library opened or what will happen if that the zoning is changed or a new road is built, I can’t blame the younger people who see me as not so relevant. And that, in turn, has caused me to think less and to care less about what things will be like 25 years from now.

I expect this is all just natural and inevitable, but it makes me sad. How do people best prepare and handle this phase of life?

— Fearing the Future As an Old Man Dear Fearing the Future: You are as young as you feel. Don’t let your worries of the future cause you to think that somehow as you age you are not as useful. The young fired-up community members offer some great things at the meetings, I’m sure. But you, with your wisdom and experience, can offer a whole new perspective — one that you could not have offered when you were young. Try to look at this phase as the best phase of your life. You made it: healthy marriage, wonderful children and grandchildren and excellent health. Now is your time to sit back, enjoy all of your accomplishments and offer others your wisdom so that they, too, might have such a fulfilling life. Congratulations!

The key is to enjoy each moment that we have and find gratitude and joy in every phase of life. Don’t rule out seeing a therapist to discuss your future. It could be much brighter than the bleak scenario you have painted for yourself in 10 years.

——— Dear Annie: There is a family in our congregation, “Fred” and “Wilma,” who have two kids who are the same age as ours. My wife is friends with Wilma, and the kids all get along well. The problem is Fred. He’s a fat jerk. We’ve known them for six years, and I work at the same company as him. However, I got promoted faster thanks to my working like a horse.

He’s an extremely jealous man and loves to make stupid comments about my work, right in front of people in social situations, even though I rarely talk about my job. I grin and bear it.

But he also makes stupid comments about how other people look, such as saying that my wife has thighs like a ham. He said it in front of several people. I replied, “How would you like it if someone said that about your wife?” He said, “Hey, my wife knows how to take what comes.” I don’t want this happening, because he does it in front of the kids, and this is precisely what we’re trying to teach the kids NOT to do.

Another time, we were at a formal lunch with several families at someone’s home, and the kids were playing pool in the living room. Fred insisted that the kids leave the pool table alone, and a teenage boy said: “No, this is not your home. Don’t give us orders, and besides, there’s nothing else for us to do here.” Fred got in the boy’s face, and ended up being wrestled to the floor by this kid. The last straw was when he grabbed the kid’s belly and squeezed it and said, “Boy, you are so fat,” and the boy’s father slapped him.

I don’t want this man around anymore.

I don’t want him in my home, and I don’t want to go to his. Nobody else does either.

But we want to invite his wife and kids.

What should we do? We can’t call her and say, “Wilma, you and your kids are invited, but your husband is not.” We could call him and say, “You and your family are

Employment

invited, but if you can’t behave yourself, you can always say you have to work that day.”

What is the solution when you don’t want your friend’s husband around because he doesn’t behave properly?

— Upset by Friend’s Rude Husband Dear Upset: Wow, he does sound very unpleasant. What an unhappy man he must be to go around insulting others. The real victims in all this are his wife and kids.

You have every right not to invite this man into your house. I think you can say to Wilma that her and her kids are invited over but her husband is not.

However, making a comment about his wife knowing “how to take what comes” sounds like emotional abuse. Wilma could really use a friend. Try to show her lots of compassion. If she is insulted that you will not invite her husband when you invite her, then it is time to take a break from this family until he learns how to behave properly. Toxic people create a toxic environment. Why surround yourself with negativity? It’s just not worth it when there are so many great people in the world.

——— Dear Annie: I am a single senior woman.

I am very close to a neighbor family. I love them, and they tell me they love me as if I were their family. The older stepfather lives with them. He and I are close in age. We have been great friends. Neither one of us is interested in a romantic relationship with each other or anyone else.

But over the past year he has become mean, judgmental and jealous of my relationship with his family. He gets angry for no reason and says offensive things to all of us. We have tried talking to him about the problem. We suggested talking to his doctor and have offered our help on finding out what is causing this change in behavior.

No one wants to be around him, so he now has no friends. Recently, he accused me of wanting to break up the marriage of the family he lives with — his stepchildren. I am old enough to be the couple’s mother and love them as my children. He said really nasty, horrible things to me about this.

My husband died many years before I met this family, but he told me I treated my husband badly. He didn’t even live in the same state when my husband was alive.

Later, he sent me a text saying he knew what he accused me of was not true. The text also denied he said anything wrong and implied that I was making things up.

He has never apologized, and he tries to act like nothing ever happened. He has threatened to kill other neighbors for walking on the street. He has threatened his 9-year-old granddaughter. He says he hates everyone. I no longer will be

around him.

The problem is that the family is upset that I will no longer go to their home. They understand why but are sad that I am not in their lives as often. They love to have parties, but I won’t attend any more. I miss our times together terribly. We now spend time out or at my home.

The stepdad refuses to get help and blames everyone else for the problem. The family is walking on eggshells around him.

Making him move out is not an option. We just don’t know what to do any more. His family is so hurt by his behavior and the stress it causes. It breaks my heart.

— Sad Neighbor Dear Sad Neighbor: This sudden change in personality sounds like dementia, the beginning of dementia or any number of other possible medical problems. I would suggest asking the family to talk to their doctor about this change in personality, and ask if the doctor would be willing to make a house call to meet with the stepfather. At the same time, if you start to understand why he is acting the way he is, you will start to be able to be around him more and regain your friendship with your neighbor’s family. Don’t let one bad apple ruin the bunch.

——— Dear Annie: I am writing in response to “Big City Drinker” and wanted to share that they are not alone in wondering if they’ve become an alcoholic through being in and around a bar scene so often.

During my graduate college years, I worked at a bar and found myself struggling with the same situation. I was lucky to have friends who noticed I was going downhill and would call me out on it. It’s still something I have to keep a close eye on, even though I don’t work in a bar anymore. I found that, for me, the bar was a familiar place where I felt all my friends were. I wanted to stay with these friends and co-workers and blow off steam after being treated poorly by patrons on many occasions. After some time, it was hard to separate in my mind my friends from the bar. Eventually, however, I found that the true friends stuck by me as I gradually chose to be “boring” and go home instead of hanging out until 1 or 2 in the morning.

Best of luck to “Big City Drinker.” Many of us out here have felt something similar to what you feel.

— Fellow Bar Friend Dear Fellow Bar Friend: Great work in recognizing that the bar lifestyle was not working for you. Your letter brings up a very important point; namely, that your true friends stuck by you when you went home early. Who wants fake friends? By recognizing that late-night drinking isn’t working for you anymore, you will feel better both in your body and in your soul.

The consequences of slow growth Getting the D numbers right on foster care

BY GARY SANDY Special to The Enterprise

I

need to correct the record as it relates to two recent letters to the editor addressing foster care in Yolo County. Each of the letters mistakenly inflate the number of Yolo County children in foster care by nearly double the actual amount.

For example, on Oct. 1, 2019 there were 391 children in foster care in Yolo County, including those placed with relatives. That number is far below the estimate of 670 foster care children, cited in recent letters to the editor.

UC Berkeley independently tracks statewide child welfare statistics on a publicly available dashboard (cssr.berkeley.edu/ CWSCMSReports/Dashboard).

This dashboard shows that far fewer Yolo County children are in foster care than recent letters allege. Foster care numbers have been fairly consistent over the past decade with, for example, 341 children in foster care on Oct. 1, 2009.

Because Yolo County is a relatively small county, we focus on proximity to home of origin as our benchmark for placement. The latest figures indicate that 55% of all youth in foster care are placed within 20 miles of their home of origin, another 27% within 50 miles, and 18% within more than 50 miles.

As a matter of policy and practice we are committed to maintaining as much normalcy in a child’s life as possible. That means keeping children and youths close to their community, school and social connections whenever possible. Furthermore, the law requires us to place children and youths with relatives, whenever available, even if they are out of the county or state.

Additionally, while the county has dramatically reduced the number of youths in group homes over the past several years, there are still youths who require care and treatment in facilities that are beyond the boundaries of our county.

Because of these dynamics, there will always be a small number of out-of-region placements for foster children.

Y

olo County has no greater responsibility than safeguarding children. Surely this is an area where we can all work together, cooperatively and collaboratively. Here in Yolo County we are fortunate to have dedicated county staff who prioritize the well-being of our children. We also maintain active partnerships with groups like Court Appointed Special Advocates that work closely with the county in monitoring and maintaining our social safety net.

Accurate, factual information is key to the work we have taken on and to fostering a realistic picture of the challenges facing foster care children. Anyone with questions or concerns should feel free to contact the Yolo County Health & Human Services Agency, Child, Youth & Family Branch at 530-6612929.

uring the first decade of the 21st century, demographers in California’s Department of Finance and those in the U.S. Census Bureau found themselves in a genteel conflict.

Year by year, the two agencies’ estimates of California’s population diverged, finally reaching a gap of about 1 million human beings.

It was officially resolved by the 2010 census, which declared that California had 37.3 million residents, close to the state’s pre-census estimates.

Of course, the number was wrong because it’s impossible to precisely count everyone, and could easily have been a million or two too low, given the state’s large number of homeless and undocumented immigrants.

However, it was the official number used by the federal government, including its allocation of congressional seats.

After the 2010 census, California’s delegation was frozen at 53 seats, still by far the largest of any state but a culture shock for a state that had been accustomed to seeing its congressional allocation grow steadily ever since it had entered the union in 1850.

Another census is scheduled

New York and the nine other states deemed to have lost population.

The low growth in both estimates reflects a strong outflow of Californians to other states — a net loss, in fact — a declining birthrate, a rising death rate and slowing immigration from other nations.

for this year and last month, the two demographic agencies released their final estimates of the state’s population (as of July 1, 2019) before the official count begins.

Once again, they are markedly different, although not by as much as they had been a decade earlier. And once again, the state’s number is higher than the Census Bureau’s — 39.96 million by the state’s calculation, 39.5 million in the federal estimate.

The state calculated population growth in the year ending July 1 at 141,300 or 0.35%, the lowest year-to-year rate ever recorded.

The feds, meanwhile, estimated that California’s population grew by just 50,635 people during the 12-month period ending July 1, which is very close to a statistical zero. California barely escaped joining

Sheriff backs Provenza I am supporting Jim Provenza for reelection to the Board of Supervisors on March 3. I have worked closely with Jim on public safety issues. As a former special assistant district attorney, Jim understands the need for active community engagement and public safety.

Jim is an advocate of smart-on-crime policies. He supports alternatives to incarceration for those who are suffering from mental illness and other non-violent offenders, while working to assure that that we have the resources we need to address violent and serious crime.

Jim is a strong supporter of our Day Reporting Center, an innovative program that reduces recidivism by delivering education, treatment and job training as an alternative to incarceration in county jail. He is also a supporter of our neighborhood courts and successfully advocated for the establishment of a second mental health court.

While supporting creative approaches, Jim stands with law enforcement in its effort to assure that the public is protected and that consequences are imposed upon those who endanger our community.

T

he 2020 census will once again settle the demographic conflict, and California officials are very concerned that President Donald Trump’s administration will not try very hard to count everyone in politically blue states.

They are especially concerned that relying on the internet as the primary vehicle for counting the population will undercount the poor.

California is spending millions of dollars to improve the count. However, what emerges from the census will be the official number and if the Census Bureau’s latest estimates are validated, it’s highly likely that California, for the first time since it became a state in 1850, would lose a congressional seat.

In contrast, the 1990 census found that during the 1980s, California’s population increased by a whopping 6 mil-

I am a parent of a fifth-grader here in Davis, and I was shocked to learn that my child’s classroom did not have a teacher when we started the school year. Our classroom continues to have a vacancy and a teacher is needed for our children.

This has been a challenging year for my child and for many students in the classroom.

Many of us parents wonder why it’s been so difficult for our district to find a qualified teacher. The significant gap in Davis teacher salaries most certainly affects new teacher hires and teacher retention.

Our children deserve better! Measure G would help make Davis teacher salaries similar to other districts in Yolo County, allowing us to attract teachers and keep our classrooms staffed.

Please support our children and support Measure G! Amber Husten Davis

lion or 25% and it gained seven new congressional seats. However, it added just one after the 2000 census.

If California does lose a seat, it’s more a symbolic event than one with practical effects, but it does give California’s critics new ammunition to argue that the Golden State is now tarnished as its accumulated flaws, such as rampant homelessness, income disparity and sky-high housing costs impel people to move elsewhere.

A loss would have one concrete effect, decreasing the state’s presidential electoral votes by one, joining the larger phenomenon of blue states such as California losing congressional seats and electoral votes to faster growing, conservativevoting states in the South and Southwest, such as arch-rival Texas.

Given the very close national political divide, that could have a very significant effect in the years ahead.

of our community are treated respectfully and fairly. In particular, she understands and wants to address the needs of the underserved … especially children and families.

Her goals include a greater focus on restorative justice, more accessible and affordable childcare opportunities for all children, and better options and outcomes for foster children.

Linda recognizes that the trauma a youngster experiences by being in the child welfare system can have devastating lifelong impacts.

She is committed to exploring all options to protect children, with an emphasis on maintaining families and providing support services to parents who need it, whenever possible.

This is especially critical, given that Yolo County removes children from their families at a disproportionately higher rate than other counties in California.

If elected, Linda will use her role as a Yolo County Supervisor to advocate for these and other important issues. She will work with all members of our community, including local and state elected officials, to bring about the changes we need in the county.

As a longtime advocate and professional in the early child development field, I know who cares about putting children and families first. I’m voting for Linda Deos for Yolo County Board of Supervisors (4th District).

Please join me in electing a new leader on March 3.

Big-city mayors posture on climate COMMENTARY

BY LLEWELLYN KING Special to The Enterprise

T

he mayors of the two greatest cities in the world, New York and London, combined on Jan. 6 to endorse folly. New York’s Bill DeBlasio and London’s Sadiq Khan issued a combined call for all cities to follow their example and divest pension funds in fossil fuel companies.

The plan is to force an end to the burning of fossil fuels by pulling their pension funds out of fossil fuel company investments. In another context, this was known as a starve-the-beast strategy.

In reality it was cheap politics: an example of what the British like to refer to as “signaling virtue.”

Putting pressure on the oil and gas companies that are the targets of their worships somehow is meant to force them to do what? To pack up, shutdown and say uncle, leaving us without gasoline for cars, diesel for trucks or natural gas for electric generation, to say nothing of heating our homes and making meals?

The big woolly idea behind this and much of the Green New Deal, on which the mayors based their pronouncements, is that by punishing the oil and gas companies, they speed the arrival of carbon-free electricity

and transportation.

Their Worships should work on congestion, affordable housing, homelessness and the other innumerable ills that plague cities, not the least New York and London.

As for DeBlasio, he could do something efficacious for cleaning the air. He could fight to save the Indian Point nuclear plant up the Hudson River, which has provided more than 20 percent of New York’s electric power for decades with nary a smidgen of carbon being produced. Now it is to close and not a squeak from the clean-air mayor. Also, he could have spoken for other regional nuclear plants that have been closed in an untimely fashion.

Like many supporters of the Green New Deal, the two mayors are correctly worried about global warming. Their low-lying cities with tidal rivers are likely to suffer irreversible flooding within the decade. But they are closed-minded about the measures that can be taken to reverse global warming.

They want clean electricity, but only if it is made in ways that are approved by the left of their parties — the Democrats for DeBlasio and Labour for Khan. They want only politically

correct clean air.

The mayors want electricity that is produced from the wind or the sun. In their dreams, to misquote Annie Oakley in the musical, they have the sun in the morning and the wind at night.

If only. The wind blows irregularly and the sun, well we know when that shines.

P

oliticians are out of their depths and dangerous when they prescribe a solution, not a destination. If a government, say that of the city of New York, declares it wants more and more of the electricity generated in the city to be carbon-free, it should stick to that goal. It should not tell the market — and the industry — which kinds of carbon-free electricity meet the goal.

The goal should be the aim, not the plays that will get the ball there.

Nuclear plants in the United States are failing because after deregulation of the electric utility industry in the 1990s, a market was established in which the lowest-priced electricity was always to be favored — neither social value nor consideration for the fact that this would favor a carbon fuel, natural gas, over highly regulated nuclear plants was considered.

The mayors did not mention — as those who decide that the

fossil companies are to blame are wont to do — that there are technologies on the horizon to capture carbon before it gets into the air. This is known as carbon capture use and storage.

Oddly a rah-rah, American Petroleum Institute event, which API does every January in Washington, staged after the mayors’ announcement, under the rubric of “America’s Energy Future,” also failed to mention carbon capture use and storage, although oil companies are leaders in the field. Instead, API dwelled on the virtues of oil and gas in everything thing from job growth to entrepreneurship to quality of life.

Science brought us the fracking boom, cheap solar cells, efficient windmills and it should be given a chance to solve the carbon problem, both with clean nuclear and with much cleaner fossil. The rest is posturing, even as we have just finished the hottest decade on history.

The worshipful mayors of New York and London should be panicked about saving their cities, not signaling their liberal credentials.

An apology to Trump supporters

BY WIM LAVEN Special to The Enterprise

I

am a committed to peace, and this requires me to acknowledge the dignity and worth of all humans. I fiercely defend human rights and work to promote equality. But I have a confession to make, when it comes to the people defending Donald Trump I come up short, and I must eat crow and apologize.

I have watched people call you names, and I have been shy to come to your defense, but I should have because you deserve the respect that all people should enjoy. I get you. We do not have all of the same values, but we have enough in common that I understand. The namecalling is gratuitous; there is no reason for people to call you stupid — you have skills, you are hard working, you care about your families.

I have written about the disrespect that people have shown my mother. She immigrated from Holland, and English was her fourth language, so it makes me furious when people belittle her for having an accent or occasionally slipping on word choice.

Some of you misspell words or make grammatical errors, like we all do, but either way your points are clear enough.

Many liberals do act like Trump supporters are just bumbling rednecks. The truth, however, is two-fold: one, there is still no reason to be pejorative, and two, support for Trump is found in affluent neighborhoods just the same. This truth has been reported in many ways, but the trope lingers just the same. Sure, there is name-calling that goes both ways, but that is no excuse.

I get that it is hard to trust the media and the government. The lies about weapons of mass destruction were used as a fraudulent excuse to start a war for most of my adult life.

Stories are sometimes spun and other times they are outright propaganda. I teach students to

COMMENTARY generally have a healthy skepticism, because I want to be vigilant against fake news, and I worry that it’s getting tougher to tell the truth from lies.

Here is who pays with their lives when America goes to war: you. Working-class Americans get caught up in the “economic draft” that results when education is expensive, the GI benefits seem to help veterans earn advanced degrees, and so the ranks are generally composed of aspirational members of the very folks who have been wooed by Trump. It is absolutely sensible, and so, when he campaigned on getting us out of endless wars, that was a big hit with those on the front lines of risk — you.

Now it’s time to ask if he’s still your man. I beg you to do so, out of respect for yourself and your children. He’s now relying on the U.S. intelligence services to explain why he ordered the assassination of the Iranian general and up until now he’s dismissed and waved aside all the reports from U.S. intelligence that reveal him to have conspired with our old enemy, Russia, to get himself elected. You of all have the right to wonder, which is it? Trust U.S. intelligence services or not? It makes a difference, right?

The truth is, I am the person

Republicans have been complaining about. I posted in celebration of the two articles of impeachment. I added that it was not about hatred it was about affirming my love for peace and justice. I have called out Trump’s lies and failures since the beginning, but I have never given him credit.

The truth is that Trump did more to oppose the dishonest campaign against Iraq than Hillary Clinton did and his targeted assassination of Soleimani is not so different from the countless extra-judicial executions ordered by Barrack Obama. Though it is worth pointing out that both the context and consequences are radically different, it is hypocritical when two different standards are applied.

T

he worst part of all of this was crystalized for me at an anti-war protest two days after the assassination.

What I saw would make it impossible for a person who voted for Trump to join in. I know many many of you are disgusted by the thought of another endless war, and I have heard the complaint, “I didn’t want to vote for Trump but I couldn’t vote for Hillary” hundreds of times, but there was no opening for conservative voices to oppose the war. There is no excuse for this failure and I

want to acknowledge that.

Conservative friends and strangers, I believe the country needs you more than ever. Conservatives used to be dedicated to and driven by principle. I may not have always agreed with your principles and values, but I sure want to wake them up.

Please join us — accept my invitation — on Jan. 25 in cities all around the world there will be a Global Day of Protest: No War On Iran!

Please call your representatives in Congress and the Senate and tell them, “I voted for Donald Trump because I thought he would protect my values, but I don’t want him dragging the U.S. into a war with Iran …”

Talk with your other conservative friends, let them know that Republican senators are increasingly calling for no war, and reclaim your party and your values.

To every Trump supporter who was called racist instead of getting a chance to explain yourself, you deserved better. To those who know Trump is a bully, but who think he deserves a chance, calling you names was hypocritical. Civil discourse and dialogue is sorely needed if we’re ever going to return to honest debate in this country. Research on opinions shows 86.4 percent of Americans feel the military should only be used as a last resort, so it is important for conservatives to let their feet do the talking, too.

Trump is not thinking about a “last resort” he is on a fast-track to another unwinnable war.

Great things can happen when we are united, right now 80 million Iranian citizens and all Americans need us to be united in calling off the dogs of war.

These innocent people are not our enemies and they will bare the brunt of the casualties if Trump’s reckless campaign is not halted.

COMMENTARY Measure Q will help preserve our quality of life

BY TIMM HERDT Special to The Enterprise

W

hen I relocated to the Sacramento region more than two decades ago, an Aggie alum in Southern California offered strong advice for which my family has ever since been grateful: Choose Davis.

For all the reasons those who live here know, it was a wise choice. It was a great place for our boys to grow up and thrive. It had the feel of a small town — trees, parks, open spaces, a walkable downtown — and the vibe of something much more.

About a year ago, I volunteered to serve on the city’s Recreation and Park Commission.

After two decades of living here, I had some familiarity with the city’s parks and recreation programs — of course, the kids participated in summer camps and basketball leagues; of course, we picnicked and bicycled and walked dogs at a variety of parks; of course, there were ball games at Playfields Park and summer afternoons at the swimming pools; and, of course, there were Saturdays at Central Park.

But over the past year I have learned that the scope of the city’s offerings is far beyond what I had imagined: 37 neighborhood and community parks which, combined with greenbelts, encompass 485 acres.

Four pool complexes. Gymnastics and dance programs. The Davis Senior Center. An urban forest that is adding trees by the day.

All these things that help make Davis the special place it is haven’t come about by accident. They are the result of city tax revenues being reinvested into our neighborhoods, into building a quality-of-life infrastructure that is sometimes easy to take for granted.

A

major source of the city’s revenue is the one-cent sales tax Davis voters last reauthorized in 2014. It accounts for about one-seventh of the city’s General Fund budget, or about $9 million out of the $61 million total. We need these ongoing city revenues to support our parks as well as police and fire services, road and bike path maintenance, and other critical local services.

On March 3, Davis voters will decide whether to extend this citywide sales tax when they vote on Measure Q. It will not raise taxes, but rather extend the same tax rate that has long existed here — a rate, by the way, that is right in line with the combined state and local sales tax rates of all our neighboring cities.

When we vote in March, I suggest all of us should do exactly what my family did those many years ago: Choose Davis. Vote to support those things that sustain our community. Vote Yes on Measure Q. — Timm Herdt is a retired former journalist, a member of the city of Davis Recreation and Parks Commission, and a Yes on Q campaign volunteer.

UCD grad joins Club America Gonzalez realizes dream of playing pro soccer

BY EVAN REAM Enterprise staff writer Clichés run rampant in the sports world.

Coaches will tell you, “We’re taking it one game at a time,” in postgame interviews. Broadcasters never fail to mention how someone “is a natural-born leader.”

And journalists will write about how an athlete “does all of the little things right.”

Ask anyone about recent UC Davis graduate and Aggie women’s soccer standout Janae Gonzalez, and they’ll come up with a maxim as well.

“She’s the first person in the building and the last to leave,” said every former coach.

It’s a fitting adage, but also the only cliché thing about Gonzalez, who just signed a professional contract with Club America — arguably the biggest and most famous soccer team in North America.

Most college athletes have a full plate on their table and focus on just their craft and school.

In the two years that Gonzalez played for UC Davis, she ingrained herself into the community as a coach for both Davis Legacy and the Davis High girls soccer team, all while performing at a level that saw her named to the all-Big West first team this past year.

“Her knowledge for the game and her ability to connect with people made her a huge loss for the high school team and my club team,” said DHS head coach Sara Stone. “She was a strong female voice with amazing ideas. Whether it was a team-bonding experience or a drill, she was always able to help relate how everything related to everyone.

“She was very good at putting all aspects of the game on and off the field into the context of the game,” Stone added. “She’s more mature than her years.

I felt like I was dealing with a 40-yearold. It was a total dream come true working with her.”

“My family said congrats but also ‘Why?’ ” Gonzalez said.

Those who know her, have no doubt that this is a real possibility.

Of course, there were many factors in the “why” — the low cost of living, the “When I got hired in May, we had two trusted coach and the platform that could weeks of spring season left, and she was

injured so I only trained with her for two sessions out of the six that were remaining, and it was the very last two,” said UC Davis head coach Tracy Hamm.

“Right away, we just did a small-sided game, and she was so talented even though she hadn’t played in months,” Hamm added. “I was like, ‘If this is what she looks like after not having played for several months, then we’re definitely going to be able to build a team around her,’ and that was what my thought was after seeing her in those moments and just knowing her international experience coming from the World Cup and also Santa Clara.

“She was someone that we needed to build the team around and build our formation and how we wanted to play around just because she’s so dynamic,” the coach continued. “It took me 30 minutes to recognize that we had something special.”

Added Stone: “I don’t have enough good things to say about Janae. As a player, she was the kind of player I love to watch, she was the kind of player I loved to coach. She’s a dream come true. I love her style of play, but even if I didn’t, I love her as a human being.”

That human aspect comes out when talking to Gonzalez, who wants to do more than just star for a team in one of the most famous soccer stadiums in the world — the Azteca.

“I want to play, but also make sure that at the same time I’m doing something to affect the community, whether it’s community service or helping younger players,” she said. “I’ve been talking to the coach here and when I get more settled in, I talked to him about setting up free clinics with local kids because what I want to do is more for the future generations, so if I can play and do that at the same time, that would be ideal.

“And when I can’t play anymore, I want to go back to school, get my masters, and hopefully become an assistant coach at a high level in college,” she added. “Then work my way up to coaching my own team for a community college because then I can be a head coach and a professor at the same time because I really like teaching, and I feel like I’ll be more able to help players who have the potential but maybe not the confidence and then get them to transfer to D-I schools.”

TRAILBLAZERS: Davis team rides in NorCal From Page B1 Fee says his current biking crew has drawn from former soccer, baseball and softball players and is becoming more intensely focused, even at the highschool level.

“It used to be you could show up as a fit kid, maybe play another sport, have a decent bike and you’d be fine,” the educationsoftware company operator explained.

“Now, (the league) is getting a lot of kids who specialize. They only mountain bike race. (NorCal) gets some kids who are sponsored and they’re riding $5,000 to $7,000 bikes.”

In Davis, Fee says it is more fun if an individual or team is coached well and in it for the sport, “like we are.”

“What makes mountain biking so awesome and exciting for me is that it’s really a different kind of fitness from any other sport I’d been a part of,” says Charlie Neate, a senior at DaVinci Charter Academy.

“I love the competition and how challenging all the races are.”

Fee says most courses are laid out in circuitous fashion, with riders asked to complete one to three tours, depending upon the distance.

The Davis High team has she wants to put into it ... and therefore what you get begun preseason workouts, out of it.” but Fee says there is always room for more athletes.

To that end, Davis con“We’re going at it a couple siders it “home court” a circuit in Granite Bay.

strength, athleticism and good endurance, it is all worth it on the fast, exhilarating downhill (runs when you hear) the cheers of the crowd when you round that last turn.

“The mountain biking community is better than all the other sports I’ve played,” adds the former baseball player.

To some, that cost of competing is prohibitive.

Mike Fee says the Blue Devil organization has avenues to mitigate costs: “It will cost a rider about $200 in sign-up costs and entry fees. Spend $1,200 and you’ll be on a bike that wouldn’t prove frustrating.”

Fee adds that the same mountain machine is utilitarian once it arrives back home. Ride it to school, on errands, use it for cruising around town. In that regard a bicycle is a bicycle is a bicycle ...

“But even for other

costs, we have scholarships — plus, I have a couple of bikes in the garage that (could be lent) to prospective riders,” Fee promises.

“Others should get involved,” urges Fee’s daughter. “Since it’s a relatively new and largely individual sport, there are lots of opportunities to try things out ... like doing one race, then deciding to commit or not.

“The team and the league offer amazing, supportive communities, which I have grown to love.”

Notes: Mike Fee and his wife Karen moved to Davis almost seven years ago from Oakland. In addition to Catie and Mark, the Fee family includes Declan, a student at Holmes Junior High. Karen is the director of development at Lighthouse Community Public Schools in Oakland while Mike’s software business — Spotlight — keeps him

busy in Davis. ... “I’m a lifelong cyclist,” says Mike, who sees himself as more of a road racer. “We moved here and saw there wasn’t a high school team. We informed the NorCal league we wanted to start a team. That first year we had four riders.” ... The league will host two winter camps for beginning and intermediate riders. The first, for novice trail cyclists, is next Sunday.

The second will be Feb. 8 for riders with a modicum of experience. Both clinics will be in Petaluma and cost $70. Find out more at norcalmtb.org/ camps/#wintercamps. ...

By the way, Kate Courtney of Branson High and Stanford is a former NorCal rider who was the 2018 cross-country world champion.

Whether Buying, Selling or Staying Where You Are

WOMEN: UCD muscles on boards From Page B1 High grad Sanders chimed in with 15 more.

It wasn’t always pretty. After the first 10 minutes of play, quiet fell across the crowd of 730.

The Aggies (6-9, 1-1 in Big West) were trailing 13-7. They had shot a horrid 21.4 percent in the quarter and were without a point for the last 4:07 of the stanza.

And even with that 24-point lead with just over 10 minutes remaining, Hawaii (6-9, 0-2) finally hit the accelerator in the form of Oregon native Julissa Tago.

Tago’s 11 points and a chilly Davis spell brought the Wahine to within 52-47 with

4 minutes remaining.

However, Toole got an assist from Konrad to bury her third 3-pointer, and from there is was energy from redshirt sophomore Konrad that carried the Aggies home. At the free-throw line, muscling rebounds or finding her open colleagues, the 6-foot Konrad from Valencia High ensured the victory.

Gross & Co. stick around Davis for a Thursday showdown with Long Beach State (7 p.m. at The Pavilion). The 49ers (6-9, 1-1) lost Saturday 69-65 to Cal State Fullerton.

Notes: Cierra Hall had 11 rebounds and four assists. Stobbart added eight boards and Konrad had nine rebounds, 7 points and five assists.
