UC’s in-state enrollment continues to climb BY CALEB HAMPTON
Davis children prepare to lead the traditional Freedom March following the annual Martin Luther King Day celebration at the Varsity Theatre on Monday.

Children lead at MLK celebration BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer The city’s annual tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., has always had a focus on children — from the children who speak and perform during the ceremony, to the dozens who fill seats at the Varsity Theater alongside their parents, to the kids who lead the Freedom March through downtown when the celebration concludes. Monday’s 26th annual Martin Luther King, Jr., celebration was no different. While adults were in the spotlight, too, including keynote speakers from the
California Black Chamber of Commerce and the California Black Health Network, it was a sixth-grader from Patwin Elementary School who brought down the house with an impassioned plea to adults to listen to the children and address their concerns about racial injustice. “Kids are tired of sitting and watching when there’s a problem they want to stop,” said Priya McKinney, 12. “Kids have so much to say. We might not have the same power that grown-ups do, but we have thoughts, opinions, words and leadership. (And) we care about what’s happening with racial hatred in America. “Do you know who Greta
Thunberg is?” she asked the capacity crowd at the Varsity. “I’m guessing you do.” Thunberg, a Swedish teenager, has galvanized the world, capturing the attention of both children and adults with her focus on the need to fight climate change. “At first she was all alone,” McKinney said of Thunberg. “But her words were so powerful it changed the world’s views on climate change.” As for racial hatred, she said, “this is just the beginning of a new fight. “I’m still a kid,” said McKinney, “but I’m a girl that’s strong and not afraid to express my opinion.”
McKinney’s fiery speech, which brought the crowd to its feet for a standing ovation, was followed by a performance from the children of Parents of African American Children — Davis, who provided snippets of the dreams — and accomplishments — of current and former African American leaders in a variety of fields. They, in turn, were followed by Jay King, president of the California Black Chamber of Commerce, who noted that he speaks at a lot of events, “and the one thing that always troubles me is that it’s a bunch of folks my age, but very seldom

The University of California’s enrollment of California residents grew for the fourth consecutive year in fall 2019, the UC Office of the President announced in a press release Tuesday. According to the university, instate enrollment grew by 1.4 percent from fall 2018 to fall 2019. In that period, UC enrolled 2,614 additional California undergraduates, bringing the total in-state enrollment to 185,559 students. Since fall 2015, UC has added 17,369 students who are California residents. UC president Janet Napolitano, who is set to step down later this year, praised the achievement while at the same time stating the university’s intent to continue working to give more students access to a UC education. “A growing student body means expanded opportunities for a new generation of young people,” Napolitano said in the press release. “The University of California is looking forward to providing these talented, hardworking students a world-class

Briefly Car vandalism leads to arrest Davis police say a man obstructed traffic on a busy street early Monday morning, then damaged a car when its driver asked him to move. Steven White, 36, now faces charges of public intoxication and throwing a substance at a vehicle in connection with the incident, which Lt. Art Camacho said occurred at about 1 a.m. at West Covell Boulevard and F Street when White lay down in the roadway. “White was reportedly contacted by the driver of a car and asked to move from his resting location,” Camacho said. “White allegedly responded angrily to this contact, picked up a rock from the ground and threw it at the motorist’s car.” Officers responded to the scene and arrested White, who was lodged at the Yolo County Jail, Camacho said. No injuries were reported, but the vehicle sustained a shattered rear window.

Authorities warn of ‘tax transcript’ swindle Special to The Enterprise It’s tax time, and the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office is warning the community to be alert for fraudulent emails from someone claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service. By now, many are well aware of the IRS phone scam in which a supposed “IRS employee” threatens the victim with immediate arrest if a payment is not made to settle their nonexistent tax debt. However, much like a virus, the scams mutate and are updated as they become less effective. Now criminals have started the next scam commonly known as the “tax transcript” scam. In this latest attempt to separate you from your money, the
scammers pretend to be from “IRS ONLINE” in an email fraud campaign. There is usually an attachment with some variation of “tax transcript” with instructions to open the attachment for important information. When the unsuspecting recipient opens the attachment, a well know malware (EMOTET) is unleashed on your computer. EMOTET has been associated with other bank and financial institution phishing efforts, but recently morphed into an IRS scam. The IRS is so concerned they have issued a statement reminding taxpayers that it does not send unsolicited emails to taxpayers, nor would it email a tax transcript containing sensitive taxpayer information. The information is available
through the secure IRS online website, but this is different from regular email. IRS officials suggest deleting the email or, if you are comfortable doing so, forwarding the scam email to phishing@irs.gov. The IRS monitors the latest scams in an effort to get ahead of the fraudsters. Under no circumstances should you ever open such an attachment or enter or provide sensitive personal data to any unsolicited email. As with so many of these scams, criminals often try to catch people off guard or scare them so they respond and provide personal information such as a Social Security number, credit card or bank account number before realizing it’s a scam.
Dodd introduces disaster bill Special to The Enterprise State Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, introduced legislation on Jan. 21 to streamline residential insurance claims for victims of disasters such as wildfires.
Senate Bill 872, sponsored by Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara, expands the definition of additional living expenses that must be paid to homeowners for losses incurred in a state of emergency. Upon submission of a claim, it requires an advance payment of no less than four months for costs such as housing, furniture rental and transportation. Also, it requires an advance payment of no less than 25 percent of a policy limit for lost contents without submission of an inventory form. The bill, co-authored by Sen. Mike McGuire, D-Healdsburg, requires insurers to give homeowners a 60-day grace period
for payment of residential premiums after an emergency. Also, insurance companies will be barred from deducting the land value from payouts for those who build on new lots. “When a disaster occurs, residents need immediate help, not red tape and unnecessary paperwork that adds to their problems,” Lara said. “I am proud to sponsor this crucial legislation, enforcing actions that I have urged insurers to take after wildfires to protect policyholders. This proposal will help ensure residents have all the resources and time available to them to help ease the financial and emotional toll of a disaster.”
Bob Dunning is on vacation. The Wary I returns Sunday.
“When someone has lost their home or suffered serious damage in a disaster, they shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to get coverage they are entitled to,” Sen. Dodd said. “Insurance companies must act swiftly to advance living expenses for temporary housing and other costs and they shouldn’t bury homeowners in exhaustive inventory forms. People who pay their premiums deserve to be made whole without unnecessary delay.”

Authorities in Woodland and Yolo County reported making two arrests over the weekend for weapon- and drugrelated offenses. The Woodland Police Department reported on its Facebook page that its officers responded Saturday to the area of Mallard and Quail drives after in response to a citizen’s report of a suspicious vehicle whose two occupants may have been taking drugs. “Officers contacted the occupants of the vehicle and while speaking with them, one of the officers saw a handgun in plain sight in the driver’s door kick panel,” the post said. “Both subjects were detained and upon further investigation, the gun (a loaded 40-caliber Glock with a 20-round magazine) was discovered to be stolen
out of Placer County. Additionally, the officers found cocaine and additional evidence of (drug) sales.” Police arrested one of the occupants, identified as 20-year-old Joe Rodriguez Allison of Woodland, on charges including possession of stolen property, carrying a loaded firearm with intent to commit a felony, possession of a large-capacity magazine and drug-related counts, according to arrest log details. “This is a perfect example of how together, as a team we can make this community safer,” the Facebook post said. “If something looks out of place in your neighborhood please do not hesitate to call. Thanks to an alert neighbor, this call led to getting another gun off the street.” That same day, the Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office reported arresting a 30-year-old Weed man for unlawfully possessing a
Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig says you cannot be too careful. “If you receive an unexpected email like this, never open the attachments or provide any personal information and please ask a trusted friend or advisor for assistance verifying the request,” Reisig said. “There really isn’t anything that can’t wait while you check it out.” If you receive these suspicious emails, contact the DA’s Fraud Hotline at 1-855-4-YOLO-DA or your local law enforcement agency. Reports of suspected fraud also can be made online at http://www. yoloda.org or by email to fraud@ yoloda.org.
Police seek suspect in Davis rape attempt BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer A woman reported being the victim of a sexual-assault attempt outside her East Davis home early Monday morning, Davis police said. Deputy Police Chief Paul Doroshov said the woman called police at about 12:15 a.m. to report the crime, which occurred 20 to 30 minutes earlier in the 1800 block of Birch Lane. “The victim reported that she parked her car and walked towards the front door of her residence,” Doroshov said. “While still in her driveway, an unknown male suspect approached the victim from behind and attempted to sexually assault the victim after
forcing her to the ground.” Screaming loudly, the woman fought back against her attacker, kicking at him before he ran from the scene, Doroshov said. She did not report any physical injuries to responding officers. The woman told police she was unable to get a good look at her attacker, at this point described only as a male wearing a puffy jacket made of “squishy” material. No weapons were seen during the incident. Officers canvassed the neighborhood later Monday for possible witnesses to the incident. Anyone with information that may aid the criminal investigation is urged to contact the Davis Police Department at 530-7475400.
gun and narcotics. Robert Nuanmanee was contacted while parked in the area of County Road 90 and Highway 16 east of Madison, where he initially gave deputies a false name, sheriff ’s officials reported on Facebook. Deputies eventually tracked down his true name, along with the loaded .410 revolver, 1.5 grams of suspected heroin and several unlabeled pill bottles containing prescription pills including hydrocodone allegedly stashed inside his car. Nuanmanee, 30, was booked into the Yolo County Jail on charges of giving false information to a peace officer, possession of a loaded firearm with narcotics, possession of a loaded firearm in a vehicle and possession of heroin, sheriff ’s officials said.

Tax prep program taking appointments Special to The Enterprise Davis residents are eligible for free help preparing taxes and claiming credits this year, saving an average of $200 in preparer fees and earning up to $6,500 in credits. Participating households must have earned $60,000 or less in 2019. United Way California Capital Region’s Free Tax Prep program will provide help at the Stephens Branch Library, New Harmony Mutual Housing and UC Davis. The program began taking appointments on Tuesday. For more information, visit YourFreeTaxPrep.org or call toll-free to 800-500-4931. “More than a third of households in the Sacramento region are a paycheck away from homelessness,� said Stephanie Bray, president and CEO, United Way California Capital Region. “United Way’s Free Tax Prep program not only saves them preparer fees, it puts money back in their pockets through tax credits that many people don’t even know they are eligible for. “For some families, receiving $6,500 in tax credits can mean the difference between paying rent and living on the streets. For others, it seeds a child’s college savings account, buys a car to take children to school or provides for a future emergency.� United Way’s Free Tax Prep program kicks off on Feb. 1 with IRScertified volunteers providing free tax return preparation with electronic filing and helping guests claim the maximum tax credits for which they
“For some families, receiving $6,500 in tax credits can mean the difference between paying rent and living on the streets. For others, it seeds a child’s college savings account, buys a car to take children to school or provides for a future emergency.� Stephanie Bray United Way California Capital Region president and CEO are eligible, including the federal and state Earned Income Tax Credits, Child Tax Credit, American Opportunity Education Credit, and the new Young Child Tax Credit. Free Tax Prep community events will occur throughout the greater Sacramento region during tax season, and help also will be available at dozens of sites during the week in multiple languages in Amador, Placer, Sacramento and Yolo counties. Age qualification for Cal EITC expanded last year to include ages 18-24 and working adults ages 65 and
up, giving more taxpayers the opportunity to earn credits, including those who are self-employed. Many Cal EITC-eligible households are not legally required to file taxes due to low income; however, if they file, they can claim state and federal credits. Regardless of who prepares their taxes, those who claim EITC, Cal EITC or Child Tax Credit should plan for their refund to be delayed until end of February, due to federal law. More than $11 million in refunds were claimed across the Sacramento region in 2019 through United Way’s program, up more than $1 million from the previous year. More than 9,000 local households received free help from nearly 500 volunteers in 2019, saving a total of $1.8 million in tax preparation fees. For nearly 100 years, United Way California Capital Region has brought local people together to make community change happen. Today, the nonprofit is bringing people together across Amador, El Dorado, Sacramento, Placer and Yolo counties for its Square One Project, a 20-year promise to significantly increase the number of students in our region who graduate from high school ready for success in college and beyond.

ENVIRONMENT: Sierra Club posts answers on website From Page A1 how to manage solid waste, transportation and water; land use and development and more. What the Sierra Club Yolano Group found: “All candidates are equally worthy of receiving Sierra Club endorsement for this election based on their environmental views and proposed policies.” “We believe all of the candidates demonstrated a remarkable understanding of the specific environmental pressures facing the county and the general climate crisis facing our planet,” the group stated on their website. “All seemed genuinely cognizant of the necessary urgency in responding to these challenges. Indeed, in our opinion, the candidates for this office are among the most environmentally knowledgeable and committed slate of candidates to ever run for supervisor or any elected office in Yolo County.” All of the questions and candidates’ answers are available on the group’s website. And while some of the questions focus on issues somewhat outside the purview of the Board of Supervisors, others elicited answers from the candidates on some of the more pressing concerns county supervisors face on a regular basis. The three candidates weighed in, for example, on the topic of preserving and protecting farmland. Abramson expressed gratitude “that Yolo County has protected farmland and development of natural lands,” and said he would “continue to fight for open space preservation and infill development.” “Farmland needs to continue to be protected, and we must
provide support for helping farmers transition to regenerative, habitat-friendly and economically sustainable practice,” DEOS Abramson said. “We must build collaboration between cities and our county to promote ecologically-minded infill development and support a local food system that provides economic security for our local farmers and protection of habitat and ecosystems.” Provenza, meanwhile, touted the work he has done during his three terms on the Board of Supervisors so far. “I was responsible for Yolo County’s (agricultural) land preservation ordinance. It is one of the toughest in the state,” said Provenza. That ordinance requires a 3 to 1 mitigation for loss of farmland in rural areas and 2 to 1 in areas close to cities. “Enforcement of this ordinance will help us to protect farmland in the future,” said Provenza. Additionally, he said, “I have worked to assure that state and federal water and fish projects do not hinder agricultural production in the Yolo bypass. I successfully advocated for a change in these projects that considers the planting schedules of local rice farmers. This will allow for the protection of both fish and farmland. This change also benefits the Yolo Wildlife Area since the wildlife area depends upon rice farming to fund its operations.” “Going forward, I plan to support more local processing of farm products,” said Provenza. “This will promote the long-term
viability of our local agricultural operations.” Deos said as part of her climate action plan, “I believe it is critical that we ensure that rural counties like Yolo that have committed to preserving farmland and avoiding sprawl, are fairly compensated by the state. “The fact is, each acre of agriculture and open space conserved saves nearly 100 times the amount of GHG emissions that would result if the land were converted to urban use. But our tax code benefits communities with big box stores at the same time it penalizes communities with large amounts of farmland. These perverse incentives must be changed. “I would also seek to secure state and federal support for farmers seeking to transition to regenerative agricultural practices,” Deos said. On the topic of the Yolo/I-80 Corridor Improvement Project, a CalTrans proposal that could include adding lanes to I-80 to reduce traffic congestion from the Yolo-Solano county line through the city of Sacramento, the candidates offered similar perspectives as well. Deos expressed concern that “such changes could hurt our local community, such as our farmers who rely on access roads for farm to market, while negatively encouraging even more single person/vehicle commuters. “Consequently,” she said, “I am skeptical of these modifications and would encourage more community input and alternative proposals. We must increase the reliability and use of mass transit.” Abramson also called for more community input to “find out what commuters need and design solutions that take those needs into account alongside our
GROVE: Tree Davis will post signs From Page A1 more conducive to an expanding grove of healthy trees. The design envisions a series of five mini-groves, each planted with climate-ready trees and understory plants that attract pollinators, birds and other wildlife. The renovation will demonstrate shrub and turf conversions with the use of lower maintenance species to create rich habitats and serene settings. Tree Davis is partnering with city staff to provide outreach and to recruit community volunteers. City staff will be reviewing the designs, retrofitting irrigation systems, assisting with shrub cleanup and providing mulch. Tree Davis will be
creating designs, installing new plantings, applying mulch and providing establishment watering. Tree Davis also will post signs in areas under improvement, noting water savings and other benefits of the improvement projects. For example, expanding the tree canopy cover will store carbon in tree biomass, cool the urban heat island, reduce air pollutants, intercept rainfall, reduce runoff and improve human health and wellbeing. Future improvements will create shaded areas where families can enjoy contemplative strolls to remember loved ones. Each Commemorative Tree in the Memorial Grove is tagged and its

climate action goals.” “I think widening the roads is a band-aid solution for a very real problem that needs to ABRAMSON be addressed (traffic congestion), yet the real solutions lie in improving our public transit system, and transitioning towards a 100% renewable and efficient transportation system,” he said. Provenza said the information provided to date on the CalTrans proposal “is too vague to base an opinion on. “Measures that improve the flow of traffic through improved metering and realignment of lanes make sense,” he said. “The emphasis should be on getting commuters into buses, trains and other public transportation.” All three candidates also agreed that the county should follow the city of Davis’s lead and adopt a zero-waste ordinance and mandate the elimination of nonreusable, non-compostable and non-recyclable food and drink containers. Said Deos: “For years the (United States) has been exporting our trash to China and other developing countries because we have been profligate in waste. Meanwhile, countries like Sweden have led recycling revolutions and significantly reduced the trash they contribute to landfills, a major source of methane emissions. “The climate crisis means we must do everything possible to create a more sustainable planet, and this is a relatively simple step,” said Deos. Abramson noted that “there is no ‘away’ when we throw things
in our landfill bins. “There are no markets right now for the majority of recyclable products, and they are PROVENZA being put into the landfill, so I would focus especially on supporting the use of compostable to-go materials.” “We have tools available to transition to a zero-waste Yolo County. The Yolo County Landfill is a world-class center that is continually making innovations and improvements. Davis has a good model for how to implement waste management and I would support implementation and support for residents in Yolo County to help us achieve that goal countywide.” Provenza was succinct: “The current waste level is not sustainable. Elimination of non-reusable containers is a simple step that will have a positive impact on the flow of waste in Yolo County.” All of the questions posed by the group and candidates’ full written answers are available at https://www.sierraclub.org/ mother-lode/yolano/localelections. Meanwhile, the three candidates will appear at a forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters Davis Area on Sunday where they will be asked about a variety of topics.

Dr. James Addison Cheney Feb. 2, 1927 — Nov. 22, 2019
Dr. James Addison Cheney, a professor emeritus of civil engineering at UC Davis, was the first faculty member in the department of civil engineering who brought a diverse technical background which allowed him to teach a wide range of academic disciplines including civil, aerospace and mechanical engineering, died on Nov. 22, 2019, at home in Davis. He was 92 years old. Dr. Cheney was the founding director of the Center for Geotechnical Modeling at UC Davis and known for his dry wit, generously mentoring the research of more than 100 graduate students and working with 50 different faculty members. His wide range of interests included geotechnical modeling for earthquakes at NASA’s Ames Research Center and Lawrence Livermore National Labs, sheathing materials for satellites and aircraft at Lockheed, peaceful uses of atomic energy through project Plow Shares; and diagnosing the causes and mitigation of racehorse bone fractures with the UC Davis Veterinary School. Dr. Cheney was recognized as a prominent engineer but also as an intellectually generous scholar. When asked by the United Nations and the Italian government to diagnose the causes and approach for the renovation of the “Leaning Tower of Pisa,” he agreed. After initial analysis, he determined the cause of the famous tilting is due to “basic physics” of the tower being “too thin in proportion to its height; it is like balancing a pencil on a table.” When asked why he had not announced his discovery while attending
the national conference, he said, “The problem was simple when understood. There were plenty of Italian colleagues who cared and plenty of credit to go around.” The Italian national press release had more than 50 prominent scientists named, along with Dr. Cheney, solving the mystery and enabling the conservation of the iconic tower. James Addison Cheney was born in West Los Angeles on Feb. 2, 1927, to Burton Cheney and Esther Cheney. His father was a hardware store owner in West Los Angeles. His mother was a practicing nurse. Jim grew up in a simpler West Los Angeles beach community attending Hamilton High School. In World War II, from 1945 to 1946, Jim served in the U.S. Navy as a petty officer in the 12th District Navy Headquarters, stationed in San Francisco. Returning to Los Angeles, he attended UCLA, where he met and married Frankyee Jane Jackson of Santa Monica, also attending UCLA. Jim was granted a bachelor’s degree in 1949 and then continued to work for the UCLA department of engineering research. In 1952, he was granted a master’s degree from UCLA in civil engineering. Jim and family fully enjoyed the informal university lifestyle in Los Angeles. Following graduation, he joined L.T. Evans, Foundation Engineers in Los Angeles, for two years as a licensed civil engineer in the State of California. He then joined the Lockheed Missile Systems Division in Sunnyvale. Moving to
Saratoga, he became head of the Strength Analysis Group on the Agena Satellite. In 1959, he won a Lockheed scholarship to pursue graduate studies in engineering mechanics at Stanford University. His Ph.D. was awarded in 1963. In 1962, he joined UC Davis’ new School of Engineering as its first faculty member. His distinct background enabled the new department to teach a myriad of subjects from engineering mechanics to aeronautical sciences. He was one of the early leaders of the development of geotechnical centrifuges. He was the founding director of the Center for Geotechnical and Seismic Modeling at UC Davis and was the principal investigator to build the National Geotechnical Centrifuge at NASA Ames. Under his direction, the large centrifuge was later moved and installed at UCD. Throughout his extensive career, he authored over 50 published papers, 40 lectures, among other technical reviews. His professional contributions led to his being named a Fellow of Emmanuel College at Cambridge University in England. He had three marriages. He is survived by his wife, Elaine Barrett, with whom he lived in Davis and two sons, Michael Cheney and David Cheney, with his second wife Barbara Chadwick. Jim’s four daughters and two sons, Linanne Spangler, Sarah Worley-Cheney, Sharla Cheney and Jennifer Douglas; John Cheney and Matthew Cheney are from his first marriage with Frankyee Jackson (deceased
1966). His brother, Phil Cheney, preceded him in death. Jim’s legacy continues with 10 grandchildren: Renee and Brett (Sarah), Lucas and Bryson (John), Mara and Evan (Sharla), Maggie and Jackson (Linanne), Trevor (Jennifer), Ali (Matt); and two great-grandchildren, Caleb (Trevor) and Summer (Maggie). Jim was married to Elaine Barratt for the last 31 years of his life. They were fond of traveling extensively to many of their favorite destinations, including Paris, Hawaii, Colorado and Arizona. They also enjoyed being active members of the Davis community including the Davis Odd Fellows and St. Martins Episcopal Church. Jim was also an avid San Francisco Giants fan throughout his life. Jim had profound faith, combining theology and science. Jim was a deacon in the Episcopal Church in Davis and the Arch Diocese in Northern California. He also was a Boy Scout leader having been awarded the highest adult honor, the Silver Beaver Award, for leadership. Jim was known to be playful and charming; whether at a Harry Potter-themed wedding in Virginia or at a political event, exploring new ideas, new relationships and new interests. Jim was a devout defender of science, theology and common decency. Cremation services were held privately in December. The “Celebration of James Cheney’s Life” will be held from noon to 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 2, at the Odd Fellows Hall 415 Second St. in Davis; it is open to all friends and family. He will be missed.

COMMENTARY
How do we honor a King? BY TIMOTHY MALONE Special to The Enterprise
W
hen we celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we must pause to realize the danger that he faced during the majority of his short life. Dr. King lived to witness the murder of Emmett Till, President John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, the three civil rights workers in Mississippi, the four little girls in a church bombing in Birmingham, the beating death of the Rev. James Reed, the beating death of Jimmie Lee Jackson and the murder of Viola Liuzzo. Dr. King lived under constant death threats. As a Baptist minister, I have had the privilege of meeting many people who knew Dr. King personally. They all saw these amazing qualities: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. deeply cared about the welfare of other people, he had tremendous courage, he conquered the fear of death, he did not love money, he was extremely bright, he was determined to fight against all forms of injustice, he was an outstanding orator, he was a brilliant organizer and he knew that one day he would be assassinated. The struggle for justice made Dr. King stronger! On Dr. King's last birthday, he was working. Shortly before he died, King talked about the three major evils in the USA, which were militarism, materialism and racism. In spite of the numerous death threats, Dr. King moved forward with his plans to hold a march for poor people in Washington, D.C. In spite of the major consequences that King knew would happen, on April 4, 1967, King gave an eloquent sermon against the war in Vietnam. On April 4, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn., while trying to help sanitation workers.
D
r. King could have quit the movement for equality and moved to another country. Dr. King could have taught at a major university. Dr. King could have just quietly left the leadership role of the SCLC to pastor a church away from the spotlight. Instead, Dr. King moved forward to a certain death and mounting pressure. Therefore, how do we honor this King? We must honor him with a lifetime commitment to justice. We must honor him with our courage to stand up for the poor and oppressed. We must honor him with our votes and voices. We must honor him with our constant work for a better world. We must honor him by standing up against the NRA and gun violence. We must honor him with our active work for justice here in the USA and all around the world. Finally, we must honor the legacy and life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with our lives in action using the awesome power of love. — The Rev. Timothy T. Malone is the pastor at the Multicultural Christian Church of Davis

Keep Davis going In 1978 we moved from Washington, D.C., to Davis with our two boys, ages 1 and 3. We moved to a community that gave us parks, playground equipment, pools, tennis courts, “The Nutcracker,” Rainbow Summer, Camp Putah and so many other wonderful activities too numerous to list. A few years ago we started all over again with two grandchildren. How can we not support a tax that has provided untold hours of delight and learning to our family and so many others? What a bargain! Please vote yes on Measure Q. Lois and Bruce Wolk Davis
True public servant I write to express my strong support for Jim Provenza as County Supervisor. As a longtime disability rights attorney, I believe it is particularly noteworthy that Jim’s entire career has been in service of the public interest. Whether as a legal services attorney, a legislative committee staffer, a criminal justice advocate, or a Davis School Board Member, Jim’s priorities have always been the health, welfare and well-being of the general public, including underserved communities. He has continued his public interest work as a County Supervisor, and I urge fellow residents of District 4 to re-elect Jim as our representative to the board. Eric Gelber Davis
Support Measure G I have been a teacher in this town for 12 of my 15 years in education, and I love it. This is my dream job. The parents are invested and supportive, the students come to class fed, rested, and ready to learn, the administration is responsive, and the teachers are the best in the business. I wanted to work here because I knew that to be the best, I had to learn from the best. There are no “bare minimum” teachers at my site. My school and this district are filled with people who put in extra time and do anything necessary to meet the needs of the children. You will find them here working at night, on weekends and on school breaks. They argue passionately in meetings for changes to support students. They picket, attend board meetings, take work home, spend their own money, make their own materials, and build relationships with students and families outside the classroom. The success of the Davis schools rests squarely upon the shoulders of these teachers, and it is in our community’s best interest to keep these dedicated individuals here. There is a crisis in education right now. There are not enough people joining the profession, largely due to compensation and quality-of-life concerns. Davis underpays its teachers compared to surrounding districts despite the high standard of education here. Many of my friends in education with families to support have gone elsewhere. My site and others have had ongoing issues with filling positions, and students have shuffled through multiple subs during the school year. The turnover in special education is particularly high, and our kiddos who need the most care are hit the hardest. We need the community’s help to address these issues. Davis teachers and I respectfully ask you to please support Measure G in the upcoming election. The passage of this measure would be a significant step in the right direction. Teachers will receive meaningful wage increases, and

Deos leading for Yolo I want a leader on the Yolo County Board of Supervisors, someone who has fresh ideas and solutions for the new decade. I want someone who will not only question the need for a new county jail but will look at ways to reduce the incarceration rate that we have. Eliminating the cash bail system that keeps poor people in jail while awaiting their hearings is one way to accomplish this goal. Because 65% of our jail residents cannot post bail, they must stay there until his or her trial. They are in jail, often for months at a time, despite not having been proven guilty of any crime. It’s a modern-day debtor’s prison. It costs as much to house a prisoner in California for a year as it does to send a student to Stanford for the same amount of time. That’s a lot of money that could be used to provide more robust social services programs that lift up our county residents. I want a leader who will return our foster care program back to one that works for families that are in distress. We need to stop shipping hundreds of Yolo County children to foster homes far from their families. I want a leader who understands climate change as the existential threat that it is. Someone who is able to work with other committed supervisors and residents to do the hard work of making significant and urgent changes to our county’s operations model. You have a choice of leadership for the 4th district Yolo County supervisor race for the first time in many years. The leader that I want for Yolo County Board of Supervisors is Linda Deos. She is the future. Elizabeth Lasensky Davis
Downtown consensus The Downtown Plan Advisory Committee is made up of a variety of stakeholders, including developers and neighborhood representatives, with the goal of shaping a common vision for downtown. A major point of contention was the transition to nearby neighborhoods — should the maximum size be three stories or four stories? Many developers on the committee were against a three-story transition maximum. However, there was a strong belief among committee members that the overall committee vision for downtown would best be served if a consensus were forged. This would also help in garnering public support for the DPAC downtown vision. After much discussion over many months, the committee agreed to a three-story maximum for downtown-neighborhood transitions. The DPAC had

achieved the unimaginable: a hard-won, though delicate, agreement between neighborhoods and developers on how to grow the downtown. The DPAC report was submitted for public review in the fall, and a public meeting on committee findings and consultant recommendations was held on Nov. 2. This was all lost at the Nov. 14 DPAC meeting. Trackside Partners requested that DPAC make a decision on their parcel’s zoning, an item not on the agenda and after the committee’s findings were made public. The committee, on a split vote, reversed its decision by recommending a four-story maximum not only for the Trackside property, but for the properties to the north. This raised the maximum for the entire downtown transition to Old East Davis. The DPAC’s vote now belied it’s publicly published findings on the downtown-neighborhood transition. This was certainly bad process and undermined the committee’s stated goals. Andy Bale’s letter published Jan. 3 gave some valid cautions about developer motives and conflicts of interest. However, I believe he went too far in stating that “it’s time to get developers ... out of our growth planning process.” Developers must be part of the process. The DPAC process, until it was derailed, was an example of Davis process at its best. The DPAC, in its final meeting on Thursday, Jan. 23, has a chance to correct its stumble and refocus on its publicly shared vision for downtown’s future. Alan Miller Davis
Njoku fan I am writing this letter to recognize and thank our city of Davis planner, Ike Njoku, on behalf of myself, my neighbors on College Park, and many other fellow Davisites. Over the years we have had many dealings with Ike, regarding issues from zoning and variance regulations, to neighborhood meetings regarding remodel projects on our street, to what it takes to have our neighborhood declared a historical district, to advising on the relocation of the Crisis Nursery. In all that time, Ike has never once failed to greet us with a smile, provide an incredible wealth of knowledge and information, and to clearly demonstrate his devotion to our little city. It is our sincere hope that the management team at the Planning Department fully realizes just what an asset they have in Ike, and that he is properly recognized and rewarded for his amazing work, for the good of all of us. In closing, I will keep it short and simple ... we love Ike! Leslie Tuel Davis

I really support what Measure G is trying to accomplish so we can give my peers and me a great education. Teachers are the foundation of education, and we don’t want to lose them. Measure G is going to increase the salary of our teachers. Teachers have some of the toughest jobs and some of the most important. When new teachers get hired, their salaries are low, which is a struggle. We need to support our teachers better. That is what Measure G is going to accomplish. The children now are going to be running the next generation. Teachers educate us for that future. For many of us, we spend more time on weekdays with teachers than with our parents. By my calculations, I will have spent over 14,000 hours in school by the time I graduate. Measure G is going to help our teachers give us the best education during all those hours we spend in school. Please support the next generation by supporting Measure G. Payton Hanks Davis
Re-elect Provenza I am writing in support of the re-election of Jim Provenza as county supervisor because of his history of providing exemplary constituent services. Constituent services are a little known but important part of the job of elected officials. When we were getting the runaround from disaffected employees in a county department we called Jim. His staff person got on the issue immediately and our issue was resolved in short order. That was enough for me but to my surprise his office continued to follow up to make sure there were no further problems. While from the outside, and to a busy county employee with their own problems, our issue might have seemed inconsequential. However, I can assure you that it was extremely important to my family and we will always be grateful to Supervisor Provenza for the help he provided when we needed it. In my mind Jim Provenza gives true meaning to the title of dedicated public servant. He has earned and has my support for re-election. Ron Glick Davis

To avoid fleas, beware the company of dogs Craft breweries are T valuable business he expression “If you lie down with dogs you will get up with fleas” has been around for a long time. That expression of course is not about canine wellness. The adage means that, to a significant extent, the company one keeps determines one’s reputation, not merely by reflection but also by transfer. That is, those whom we favor with our company, friendship and support may affect our ideas and attitudes and priorities; we might call these the “fleas of friendship.” Another old adage reads: “Birds of feather flock together” implying that people of like mind seek each other’s company. I ran into this idea recently in an NPR piece that pointed out this political season is a minefield for corporate support of candidates running for office. In such a vociferous and nasty political climate, officers of corporations must decide which political dogs and what kind of fleas cause the least itch for their bottom line and for their customers. This dog/flea issue is not the kind of dilemma we might expect a craft brewer to face. After all, for the most part they are small enterprises that hardly have the financial muscle to
move the political needle very far one way or the other. Thus their dog/flea dilemma is unlikely to be one of political association. However, craft breweries are valuable business enterprises that have been sold for high valuations to large corporations making the entrepreneurs who built the company in the first place and their investors (deservedly) wealthy. It’s possible we may see that dynamic change because a high valuation has not always turned out to be justified. Nevertheless, large companies are still on the prowl for desirable craft brewery acquisitions. One such recent craft brewery purchase has a rather interesting dog/flea consequence. That also of course also has a dog/flea consequence for those who drink the beer that brewery makes. Lion Little World Beverages is buying 100% of the fourth-largest craft brewery in the USA: New Belgium Brewing Company
of Fort Collins, Colo., and Ashville, N.C. Lion Little is the craftbrewing arm of the giant multi-national Kirin Brewing Company of Japan. That acquisition, in and of itself, might rattle some purists who prize the independence of craft brewers. However, many devotees of e.g. the Fat Tire brand are admirers not only of New Belgium’s beers, but also appreciate the extraordinary range of social commitments of the company under the leadership of Kim Jordan. Kim is a great lady much admired in the industry. New Belgium Brewing is a socalled B Lab Corporation; this certifies that the company, across all its activities, meets certain social, environmental, accountability and transparency standards towards its employees, business partners and customers. New Belgium is also an employee-owned company all of whom will benefit financially from the sale to Kirin. So far, so good. No dogs, no fleas. However, it turns out that Kirin owns a significant stake in Myanmar Brewing Company, which is co-owned by the Myanmar military through a company known as Myanmar Economic Holdings Ltd. Myanmar (formerly Burma) is primarily a
enterprises that have been sold for high valuations to large corporations making the entrepreneurs who built the company in the first place and their investors (deservedly) wealthy.
Buddhist country with a small minority of Rohingya Muslims who have been there for a long time though discriminated against and persecuted. The military in recent times have seriously harassed this population; some have called this harassment ethnic cleansing and even genocide. Many Rohingya have died and large numbers have fled to, or been driven into, Bangladesh. The agony of these poor people has made it into our homes via TV news so we are not ignorant of it.
Here we have the dog and the fleas. However remotely, New Belgium is now linked through Lion Little and Kirin to ethnic cleansing and genocide. I know that corporations make rational business decisions based almost entirely on financial imperatives and that is their business. I also know that the chances are slim that money will leak in any literal way from Fort Collins to the Burmese Army. Nevertheless, I feel just a bit disappointed a bit let down. I guess New Belgium set such a high bar for social conscience that this sale seems to be a fall from grace. Kim Jordan has written an open letter about the sale that brings to mind a line from Hamlet: “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.” Craft beer drinkers are a wellinformed and thoughtful lot and so this dog/flea connection will not go away; they also value the ethics of the craft brewing industry. However, craft beer enthusiasts are generally not very brand-loyal and, with plenty of excellent alternative beers available to them, it will be interesting to see if Kirin’s fleas affect sales of New Belgium’s products. — Reach Michael Lewis at lewiswales@me.com.

The Davis Flower Arrangers will welcome local designer Frankie Raymond on Wednesday, Feb. 5. Her presentation begins at 7 p.m. at International House Davis, 10 College Park. Besides demonstrating floral arranging techniques, she also will assist with the presentation of arrangements created by members at the February workshop. Visitor passes for this program are available at the door for $10 or $40 for the year’s membership. Membership is encouraged since it provides additional opportunities for floral workshops held at the Stephens Branch Library, field trips and flower expositions. Davis Flower Arrangers is affiliated with the Sacramento River Valley District, California Garden Clubs Inc., and the
National Garden Clubs. Raymond began her career as a floral designer and flower show judge 10 years ago, after enjoying flower shows at the Yolo County Fair. She decided that flowers in her home garden were just as beautiful and entered 200 of her own flowers at the fair. She soon began planting her home garden to be at its best to show in the fairs. It was a short jump from entering flowers to beginning to design arrangements for flower shows. She embarked on classes to hone her skills and now is a very talented floral designer and teacher. Today, Raymond is a National Garden Club flower show judge and the general chairman of the board of the state convention to be held in Sacramento from Aug. 3 to Sept. 2.
ENROLLMENT: Plan to increase tuition won’t get vote, yet From Page A1 education, while expanding access for future Californians.” The university’s publication of the year’s enrollment statistics comes on the back of promises it recently made to use increased state funding to continue expanding enrollment. Earlier this month, California Gov. Gavin Newsom released his budget plan for 2020-21, in which he 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. The University of California Board of Regents Chair John A. Pérez and President Napolitano issued a statement applauding the funding increase. “The governor’s budget reflects an ongoing commitment to higher education,” the UC statement reads. In its statement, UC
affirmed the state’s aims for the university. “The 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 ontime graduation and close achievement gaps among first-generation and underrepresented students,” the university stated. However, despite increased funds from the state, the UC Office of the President announced last week it would ask the regents to approve a plan that raises tuition costs for students incrementally over the next five years. The regents were initially scheduled to vote on the plan today, but have since cancelled the vote and moved to a discussion only, according to Los Angeles Times higher education reporter Teresa Watanabe. Watanabe also posted a statement from Newsom on Tuesday in which the governor disagreed with the university’s proposed tuition hike. Newsom called the plan “unwarranted, bad for
students and inconsistent with our college affordability goals,” according to Watanabe. The rise in California resident enrollment has been mirrored by general enrollment growth at the university. Systemwide, UC enrollment grew by an additional 4,968 students from 2018 to 2019, including 3,632 undergraduates and 1,231 graduate students. The total university enrollment now stands at 291,239 students, a 1.7 percent increase from 2018 to 2019. During that time, graduate student
enrollment grew at a slightly higher rate than undergraduate enrollment. Since 2000, UC enrollment has grown by more than 100,000 full-time students. The university is projected to award one million degrees between 2015 and 2030. The rise in enrollment is thanks in part to UC recording the highest number of transfer student admissions un the university’s history in fall 2019. For the 2019-20 academic year, UC accepted 28,752 transfer students from a pool of 41,282, the
university said in the press release. These numbers included 26,700 students from California Community Colleges, the largest class ever. At UC Davis, 78 percent of all students are now California residents, a slightly higher percentage than the UC system as a whole. Sixty percent of UC Davis students are female and 42 percent are first-generation college students. — Reach Caleb Hampton at champton@ davisenterprise.net. Follow him on Twitter at @calebmhampton.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK JOEY ASTA
J
oey Asta has only two settings: Beastmode and ... Never mind. Joey Asta only has one setting. Franklin High got a whiff last Friday as the 6-foot-3, 195-pound senior set the Wildcats’ nets ablaze. Discharging 30 points to go along with a team-high seven rebounds as the Blue Devil boys basketball team outfoxed their Delta League foes, 87-84, in Elk Grove, Asta’s scoring shower was the heftiest by a Davis player in more than five years. “If we could give everybody a little Joey Asta, we’d be the team to beat every night,” Devil head coach Dan Gonzalez says. “He’s just got that desire.” In recognition of his offensive explosion last week, Asta has been named the Greiner Heating & Air/Davis Enterprise Athlete of the Week. Averaging a Devil-best 9.1 points and 5.3 rebounds per game heading into the away clash last week, the third-year varsity man had the entire Wildcat student section badgering him after halftime. “You can’t acknowledge it,” the everfocused Asta laughed after the ballgame. “We have to stay in it the whole 32 minutes.” A two-sport athlete, Asta also donned the blue and black for the DHS football team this past fall. His unit’s 5-1 finish in Delta League play was good enough to earn Davis its first conference title in more than 20 seasons. Playing both ways, he ended the season with 12 receptions for 283 yards and four touchdown hauls, 38 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble. “He was a guy you could always rely on,” said Devil football coach Steve Smyte, who wasn’t afraid to use the versatile senior as a tight end, slot receiver or wideout on offense. As a defender, he played everything from safety to corner. An Illinois native, having moved to Davis before kindergarten, Asta is the son of Mark, a professor of materials science and engineering at Cal, and Theresa, who supervises software quality for the Bay-Area based medical instruments manufacturer Bio-Rad. His older sister, Maddie, is a former DHS softball slugger currently working as an English teacher in Brazil as part of a Fulbright fellowship. No. 10 and the Blue Crew (12-5, 1-3) have a tough road ahead of them in league play, starting at Pleasant Grove this Friday. They’ll be back in Davis on Jan. 29, when rival Jesuit visits for a 7 p.m. clash.
Men hope to stay red-hot BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor
The long (Elijah Pepper) and the short (Ezra Manjon) of it is that UC Davis has struck gold at guard. With the Aggie men coming off a Southern California sweep of Long Beach State
and CSUN, the locals found some exhilarating performances from their freshman tandem. In beating Beach, 85-82, on Thursday, the 6-foot-4 Pepper and 5-11 Manjon each scored 19 points. Then Saturday CSUN fell, 66-62. In that game it was Manjon with 16 and Pepper contributing 15. “They’re huge for us,” UCD senior guard Joe Mooney points out. “I love playing with those guys. They certainly don’t play like freshmen. They
play like experienced vets. It’s so impressive ... their focus and how hard they work. I’m excited to see what comes next.” Aggie fans can join Mooney in seeing “what comes next” when Davis (8-11, 2-1 in Big West play) meets visiting Cal State Fullerton today at The Pavilion. Tipoff against the Titans (1-3, 6-13) is slated for 7 p.m. For his efforts in the SoCal sweep, Manjon is the reigning conference Player of the Week.
Gianotti, Bertsch ‘speak’ Aggie hoops abroad BY JASON SPENCER Special to The Enterprise
F
or American basketball players plying their trade abroad, the learning curve can be steep. There’s a new language, local customs and new teammates with which to get accustomed. Even new food can be daunting. It’s all enough to make one’s head spin off the court. However, the language of basketball isn’t that much different, and former UC Davis standouts Pele Gianotti and Morgan Bertsch are fluent when it comes to letting their game do the talking. After helping her team win the championship of the second Bundesliga in her first professional season last year, Gianotti — one of four Americans on the roster — has led the Bascats of USC Heidelberg to the top division in Germany. Playing 5,400 miles from her hometown of Myrtle Creek, Ore., the Aggie Class of 2018 star is averaging a team-high 17.6 ppg through the first 14 games of this season (as of Jan. 15). She’s also accounting for 5.1 rebounds a game while shooting 53 percent from the field.
“I
would definitely say that this year has been tougher both physically and mentally,” Gianotti explained via email. “The first Bundesliga is a fight from start to finish. There are people who are stronger, faster and more experienced than you, and I think the biggest thing is coping mentally through this adversity. “Coming from a winning program, losing is not something that I am used to. It’s extremely hard to put losing behind you and learn from it without becoming negative. I am still learning how to stay positive, work hard
and get better.” In her first season, Gianotti, who is packing a UCD degree in political science, was one of three BasCats in double figures, averaging a team-high 15.4 ppg and 7.8 rpg, while shooting 53 percent en route to the title. “Some of the big differences here that I have noticed are that in Germany they play more physical,” Gianotti said. “The contact is high and the refs here really let you play, which I definitely appreciate. Also in the states, it’s a lot more detailoriented. People spend hours going through film and dissecting every little thing that their team does and what the opposing team could possibly do to combat Bertsch this. In Germany, it is a lot more learn-as-yougo and about basketball fundamentals rather than knowing every single play the other team can do. “Both are fun, but definitely different. The refs also call a lot more travels in Germany.” Meanwhile, Bertsch — the first-ever UC Davis women’s basketball player to be drafted by the WNBA in 2019 — has gone from her hometown Santa Rosa to UC Davis, the Dallas Wings and, now — 5,800 miles away — to Moscow, Russia. Bertsch — the Aggies’ all-time leading scorer — recently made her debut with WBC Sparta&k Moscow, one of the most prestigious European clubs; a team that has featured Seimone Augustus, Sue Bird, Tamika Catchings, Diana Taurasi and Becky Hammon

The 6-foot-4 deadeye also is shooting 56 percent from the field while adding 5.6 rebounds each night. Bertsch has finished in double figures in all but two of her games this year, including a 21-point, 10-rebound, doubledouble against Dynamo NR — and a 28-point, 11-rebound, performance against MBA Moscow last month. In eight EuroCup games thus far, she is averaging 12.9 ppg and 4.6 rpg. “From collegiate to professional basketball, I’d say the biggest difference is the pace,” Bertsch said. “Since the shot clock is only 24 seconds, you end up running up and down the floor more than in

One of two Americans on the roster (along with North Carolina’s Paris Kea), Bertsch was a biomedical engineering graduate has taken advantage of a chance to see the world and catch up with her old teammate Gianotti. “I think the coolest part about being a pro athlete overseas is being able to travel and see different parts of the world,” Bertsch reports. “Because my team is in EuroCup, I’ve traveled to Athens, Kosovo, Istanbul and Switzerland. “I also got the chance to visit Pele in Heidelberg for four days in midNovember. Being able to see one of my best friends while we are both overseas playing professional basketball was a really special experience. Getting to tour her city and even play ball with her again made going back to Moscow particularly hard.”

he journey continues for former UC Davis quarterback Jake Maier. Come Sunday (7:30 p.m. on CBS Sports Channel) the La Habra native will be a member of the star-studded Hula Bowl roster. It will mark another step in Maier’s march to professional football. After helping take the Aggies to a first-ever Big Sky Conference title and a trip into the Division I postseason, Maier graduated in December as the school’s all-time passing-yardage leader (11,163). The 6-foot signal-caller also set career benchmarks with 1,495 attempts and 992 completions. Maier’s 88 lifetime touchdown passes rank second in school annals behind only NFL veteran J.T. O’Sullivan. The list of honors bestowed on
the QB during his three-year stay is longer than his talented right arm. Possessing leadership qualities that have been praised by teammates, head Aggie coach Dan Hawkins and offensive coordinator Tim Plough (himself a pretty good QB in his UC Davis days), Maier eventually will mean more to a subsequent team that just on-the-field-production.

Coombs named as Aggie DC Enterprise staff Matt Coombs is joining the UC Davis football staff as defensive coordinator, head coach Dan Hawkins announced Monday. A 2007 graduate of Yale, Coombs comes to town after serving as an Oregon defensive analyst during the 2019 season. “Just like in recruiting, it’s all about fit,” Hawkins reported. “He went to Yale, so he understands education and that component. He’s used to winning, so he expects to win and knows how to win. He has worked in a similar defensive structure that we run, so he can take that and add polish and put his spin on it.” Coombs replaces Robert Tucker, who helped orchestrate a constant curve of defensive improvement in his three seasons with the Aggies.

New UC Davis football defensive coordinator Matt Coombs joined the Aggies staff Monday coming from an Oregon gig. title, then took part on staff in the 2017 Mountain West Conference and 2019 Pac-12 Conference championships for Boise State and Oregon, respectively. In his most recent position, Coombs worked under UO
defensive coordinator Andy Avalos, helping the Ducks assemble a 12-2 overall record, a resounding 37-15 victory over Utah in the Pac-12 championship game, a 28-27 defeat of Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl, plus No. 5 final rankings in the Associated Press and USA Today polls. Oregon also ranked ninth nationally in scoring defense among FBS leaders last fall. Coombs earned his master’s degree in athletic leadership at Boise State. Coombs’ playing career began as a defensive back and running back at Bellevue High (Wash.), where he garnered state Player of the Year in 2002. “When we talk about ‘Davis guys,’ people ask what we mean by that,” Hawkins, in his fourth year with UCD, went on. “But he gets it. He gets the wellroundedness of it. That’s important here, and it’s important to
have coaches who relate and identify with our players and their goals and aspirations.” Tucker and UC Davis parted ways by “mutual agreement,” according Hawkins. Tucker played for Hawkins at Willamette University and coached with him at Boise State and Colorado before stints at West Hills and East Los Angeles community colleges were stepping stones to a reunion with Hawkins in 2017. Tucker has yet to respond to The Enterprise requests for an interview regarding his plans. In each of Tucker’s seasons at Davis, the Aggies’ points allowed decreased, as did allowed yardage. Turnovers forced went from 15 to 20 to 24 in 2019. Tucker played his high school football for coach Mike Alberghini at Grant. The Aggie start the 2020 season at Nevada on Aug. 29.

For the second straight week, the Davis High wrestling team split results in its dual meet, defeating Jesuit (61-15) before falling to Franklin (58-21) at Jesuit High on Tuesday night. The results gave the Devils a 2-2 mark on the season, one week ahead of the final team meet of the season at Franklin, where DHS will take on Cosumnes Oaks and Pleasant Grove. “Franklin has a very good wrestling program, they have a ton of solid wrestlers and a consistent wrestling program every year. They only lost to Elk Grove by a couple of points, so they’re right there in it,” said head coach Johnny Rosendale.
Coming up big for the locals were juniors Noor Mashiana and Vance Tangren, who each won their matches with pins. “This is probably the best I’ve ever seen Vance wrestle,” Rosendale said. Devils Joshua Prudhomme and Kosta Christopulos picked up their first dual wins of the season, while star junior Zach Brooks didn’t face a challenger in either match and junior Ethan Rosendale won against Franklin. Davis was also in action this past weekend as the girls placed 37th in the Del Oro tournament. Highlighting the weekend was junior Emma Bordios, who went 4-1 to finish third; while freshman sister Kelsey Bordios had a 2-2 record and classmate Juana
Peralta won her only match. “Our team showed great improvement (on Saturday),” said Emma Bordios. “We have become more resilient and progressive in our own ways. I hope to see more of this in the Davis wrestling program. Placing third at Del Oro is an achievement I am proud to have earned.” Meanwhile, the boys were at the Armijo Invitational and placed 13th out of 20 squads. Ethan Horowitz placed second with a 3-1 record to lead DHS. With the regular season winding down, the Blue Devils will use this upcoming weekend as a postseason tune-up tournament as they head to Turlock for the Pitman Rumble, traditionally a tough invitational.
Aggie polo sweeps Challenge Special to the Enterprise The Aggies defeated Santa Clara and Fresno Pacific in Sunday’s Davis Challenge tournament. No. 10 UCD defeated Santa Clara 11-4 and then put a 14-5 pounding
on Fresno Pacific in the nightcap at Schaal Aquatics Center. The Aggies scored the first three goals against Santa Clara and first six in the Fresno Pacific match. Sophomore Noelle
Wijnbelt led the day’s scoring — a staggering 8 for 8 — with five goals against the Broncos. Wijnbelt’s effort against Santa Clara tied a singlegame career high. Senior captain Cassidy Smithson recorded her
second career hat trick with a career-high four goals against Fresno Pacific to total five on the day. Senior Emily Byrne completed a hat trick against the Broncos, and tacked on another goal against the Sunbirds.
FLAIR: Aggies solid overseas From Page B1 college. The players are also all bigger and stronger, making some of the things you’re used to doing in college more difficult ... and everyone playing professional basketball is extremely skilled, testing your defensive ability every possession.” Off the court, being so far away from home and the support systems that they have grown accustomed to over the years has, naturally, been a struggle for the duo. However, it may be the creature comforts of home that they miss the most. “I miss my family a lot,” Gianotti said. “Though I love Heidelberg and all the people who have become such a huge
support system for me, it’s still hard to know that your family is on a different continent. I also miss Doritos, Mexican food and Dreyer’s ice cream.” Comrade Bertsch also weighted in: “Being away from family and friends is definitely one of the hardest parts of playing overseas. Although most are only a call or text away, the 11-hour time difference makes communication extra tough. Although it may seem like a trivial thing, but the food in America might be one of the things I miss the most. “I love food and I love going out to eat. Unfortunately, the town that I live in has about three sit-down restaurants and a couple of cafés. So naturally,
the other American, Paris, and I are a little tired of our selection. I actually had a dream about In-N-Out the other day, so you can bet I’ll be there at least once during my trips home.” Whether it be a “dreier” (3-pointer) or “jump shot” in Russian cyrillic, this Aggie duo’s on-court acumen is wellunderstood abroad … even if the rest is all Greek to them. — Jason Spencer is in UC Davis’ assistant director of athletic communications.

girls shear Rams BY LEV FARRIS GOLDENBERG Enterprise staff writer
Sometimes, it just takes a little good mojo to snap a losing streak. On Monday at Dixon, free throws were the magic charm for the Blue Devil girls hoops squad, which ended its three-game skid with a 42-38 nonleague victory over the host Rams. Davis (10-8 overall) struggled to get to the line in Friday’s loss to Franklin, attempting just eight freebies. And despite putting up 43 free throws in last Tuesday’s loss to Sheldon, the Devils shot just 46 percent from the line and lost by a point. “We definitely talked about them being more aggressive and still giving themselves more opportunities to get to the freethrow line,” said Devil head coach Heather Highshoe. “They were looking to attack more.” Against Dixon, the charity stripe was kind to Davis. The locals shot 12 of 16 from the line, including two free throws by Skylar Schouten to put DHS up by four with 10 seconds to play. Schouten led all scorers with 14 points and shot 6 of 8 on free throws. “Our free throws definitely won us the game,” Highshoe added. “They killed it on the free-throw line.” The Rams (13-7) shot 1 for 5 on freebies, and lost by 4. The basketball gods are funny like that.

RETURN: Men go for 3 in a row tonight From Page B1 are on. And those guys are just getting better and better and better, and it’s fun to watch their progression.” While Mooney continues to lead Aggie scorers (15.0), the Brentwood High product Manjon is climbing up the statistical ranks at 11.4 points a game. His other contributions include a sparkling 1.9 assist-toturnover ratio (75/38) and 3.3 rebounds on average. Pepper, second on the team in steals with 23, is averaging 7.9 ppg with 5.4 caroms a night. Peppers came to UCD from Saleh High (Wash.). Together, Mooney, Manjon and Pepper have anchored a defense that won the decision at CSUN and, according to Les, probably has its best days ahead: “This group is maturing,” the veteran coach says of his overall crew. Against CSUN, Les said, “I thought there was a stretch there where we got a little bit
frustrated with our offense ... but (they felt) ‘Hey, it doesn’t matter. Let’s defend our tails off: make the hustle plays, get the 50-50 balls, take a charge.’” Les and his clicking backcourt trio hope the good times continue to roll at home. But the Titans possess some fire power in long-time BWC standout 6-8 forward Jackson Rowe (13.9 points a game) and guards Brandon Kamga (12.7 ppg) and Austen Awosika (13.9). The questions now is can UCD build on its modest two-game win streak? Afterall ... “It was a heckuva road trip for this young group,” says Les.
Aggie women Like the men, coach Jennifer Gross’ crew has two straight wins in tow as it heads to UC Santa Barbara (1-2, 12-6) on Thursday at 7 p.m. and Cal Poly (1-2, 4-13) on Saturday at 2 p.m. Last Thursday, in a 57-55 nail-biter
versus Long Beach State at The Pavilion, it was a balanced effort on offense and some late defensive heroics that held sway. Fontana native freshmen Evanne Turner paced Davis with 11 points, redshirt sophomore post Sage Stobbart had 10 points and 10 rebounds, and senior Katie Toole chimed in with 9 (her season-low scoring total). So where does Gross believe her Aggies figure with the Big West standings starting to take shape? “(Long Beach) was the kind of game that earlier in the season we weren’t winning. But to turn the ball over (29 times on Thursday) like we did and still find a way to win says a lot about our group, and our defense.” Davis heads out of town 2-1 in conference (behind first-place CSUN at 3-1) and 7-9 overall. — Reach Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet 41@gmail.com or call 530-320-4456.

UC Davis opens bee research facility BY KATHY KEATLEY GARVEY Special to The Enterprise On a day too cold for honey bees to fly and nearly too cold for bundled dignitaries to speak, officials celebrated the opening of the newly constructed USDA-ARS bee research facility on Bee Biology Road, UC Davis campus. Queen bee breeder Jackie ParkBurris, a past president of the California State Beekeepers’ Association and a leader in the industry, snipped the ribbon Jan. 7 in 45-degree temperature, joining a group of other stakeholders to open the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) bee research facility. The facility, located next to the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology’s Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility, slides Davis into the national spotlight as “Pollination Central” and “The Bee Capital of the World.” The Davis facility is the newest of five USDA bee research labs in the United States and as the only one in California. “This is the only USDA bee research team in California — where the action is,” said emcee Paul Pratt, research leader of the Invasive Species and Pollinator Health Research Lab. USDA maintains honey bee research facilities in Tucson, Ariz.; Beltsville, Md.; Baton Rouge, La.; and Stoneville, Miss. “The opening of the USDAARS bee lab marks a new opportunity for USDA and UC Davis entomologists to collaborate and investigate serious problems that affect stakeholders,” said Steve Nadler, professor and chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology. “We are very fortunate that the lab was built at UC Davis.” Plans for the USDA-ARS facility began five years ago at a stakeholders’ conference in the Laidlaw facility. Attendees at the November 2015 meeting targeted honey bee health, primarily varroa mites, pesticides and nutrition. Park-Burris, of Jackie ParkBurris Queens, Palo Cedro — her family has worked with UC Davis researchers for more than 80 years — cut the ribbon with four other stakeholders: almond pollination consultant Robert Curtis of Carmichael, former director and associate director (now retired) of Agricultural Affairs, Almond Board of California;
Kevin Adee of Bruce, S.D., president of the American Honey Producers’ Association; Brad Pankratz of Can-Am Apiaries, Orland; and Darren Cox of Cox Honey Farms, Logan, Utah, a past president of the American Honey Producers’ Association. Pratt introduced newly hired research entomologists, Arathi Seshadri and Julia Fine, forming the Invasive Species and Pollinator Health Research Unit at Davis. They are dedicated toward developing technology that improves colony survivorship through longterm studies of multiple stress factors, he said. “They will develop and transfer integrated biologically based approaches for the management of invasive species and the improvement of pollinator health.” Seshadri and Fine aim to improve honey bee survival and beekeeping sustainability in California and nationwide, Pratt said. They will collaborate with federal, university, non-governmental and industry partners. Seshadri, a pollination biologist with expertise in honey bee behavior and plant reproductive strategies, will be working with beekeepers and farmer stakeholders to develop projects aimed at finding solutions to the ongoing pollination challenges. Also trained as an evolutionary biologist, she has applied principles of plant-pollinator mutualism, specifically the impact of phytochemicals in pollen and nectar on honey bee health and colony performance. Her contributions to pollinator conservation include enhancing the sustainability of all pollinators, including native bees on farms and urban areas. She also has expertise in agroecosystem-based approaches and citizen science programs to promote pollinator diversity and abundance. Fine, an entomologist with expertise in insect toxicology, honey bee physiology, reproduction and development, focuses her research on identifying how stressors impact honey bee behavior, health and fecundity. She uses both established and novel laboratory techniques. Her previous projects involved investigating how agrochemical and viral stressors interact to affect the development and survival of honey bee brood and how nutritional stress affects honey bee queen fecundity. In engaging with beekeepers and growers, Fine will research how realistic biotic and abiotic stressors affect honey bee reproduction,

The speakers discussed cooperation, collaboration and challenges. Besides Pratt, Park-Burris, and Cox, speakers included Robert Matteri, director of the Pacific West Area, USDA-ARS; Anita Oberbauer, associate dean, UC Davis College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences; Kevin Hackett, national program leader, USDA-ARS; Extension apiculturist Elina Lastro Niño of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology and founder and director of the California Master Beekeeper Program.
‘Bee capital of the world’ Associate Dean Oberbauer, pointing out the many “individuals focused on apiculture on the UC Davis campus,” described Davis as “the bee capital of the world.” “The location of this new honey bee lab right next to the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey bee Research Facility… offers faculty, students and USDA a unique opportunity for expanding partnerships, internships and collaborative research for faculty and students,” she said. The associate dean lauded the UC Davis research, teaching and public service in apiculture and the what’s to come. “We are extremely fortunate and pleased to have this new USDA honey bee lab so close to our researchers and we look forward to this continued partnership in the years to come,”
Oberbauer concluded. USDA’s Pacific West Area Director Hackett told the crowd that “for me, this is a homecoming.” After receiving his doctorate at UC Berkeley, he worked in research with UC Davis Professor Robbin Thorp (1933-2019), when “American foulbrood was a hot topic.” Hackett thanked stakeholders for “your help in bringing this lab here…Your funding on behalf of industry is what made this bee lab come about and we really thank you for that.” He singled out the American Beekeeping federation, American Honey Producers’ Association, California State Beekeepers’ Association and Almond Board of California. “With this Davis lab,” Hackett said, “we are situated in Pollination Central, in the heart of the almond and tree fruit industry.” “Varroa mites” topped the list of concerns at the November 2015 stakeholder conference, Hackett pointed out, adding that “It will be studied in context with other stressers such as pesticides.”
History of bee program Extension apiculturist Elna Niño chronicled the history of the bee biology program at UC Davis. The first bee instructor was George Haymaker Vansell (18921954) a USDA employee in the Davis Experiment Station. A former student at UC Davis, he taught from 1920 to 1931. His research led to a better understanding of the role of bees in crop pollination. Among the other faculty mentioned: Harry Hyde Laidlaw Jr. (1907-2003), known as “the
father of honey bee genetics,” who joined the department in 1947; Professor (now emeritus) Norman Gary, faculty member from 1962 until his retirement 1994; Distinguished Professor Robbin Thorp (1933-2019), faculty member 1964 to 1994; Distinguished Emeritus Professor Robert E. Page, Jr., who served on the faculty from 1989 to 2004; and Eric Mussen, Extension apiculturist (now emeritus) from 1976 through 2014. Gary led the efforts to obtain funds to construct the bee biology facility (renamed the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility), starting with a National Science Foundation facilities grant. He designed the facility, located his primary office there for almost 25 years, and persuaded the Chancellor office to name the access road as Bee Biology Road. More current members of the faculty: Neal Williams joined the department in 2009; Brian Johnson, 2012; and Elina Niño. 2014.
‘We are grateful’ In her talk, Park-Burris said that the “California State Beekeepers’ Association is overwhelmed that we have a USDA lab to collaborate with our UC Davis lab. We hope there’s a lot of collaboration going on. We really look forward to that. As a stakeholder, my family has been raising queens just north of here (Palo Cedro) for over 80 years. Dr. Laidlaw had worked with my uncle and my father. He’s been at my house. And he’s been through my bees. Julia (Fine) has even already been up to see the queen farm.” “We look forward to solving some of our problems — varroa, varroa, varroa — and forage and pesticide interaction,” Park-Burris said, “and all that happens in California during the largest pollinator event in the world. So you’re in a good place and we’re grateful.” Extension apiculturist emeritus Eric Mussen later commented: “I think that the collaboration among the new USDA bee lab personnel, cooperating researchers, and beekeepers should provide an opportunity to probe deeply into potential causes of colony loss. The ability to follow the health of individual bees and colonies, throughout the year, should provide important clues about precursors of colony decline, well in advance of the ultimate collapse.”

530–756–0826 “Mind your manners,” all you get is, “What’s a manner?” — Longing for Etiquette
Mind Your What? Dear Annie: I know that I was raised in the Stone Age. But some of the things I remember sure would be nice additions to today’s society. They’re called manners. I recall my mother saying, “Mind your manners.” Whenever she said that, I knew right then that what I was doing was unacceptable. Manners were not anything written down. They were learned at home. There was no test to be sure you understood what to do and not do. There are too many to list, but I have a few examples: —Don’t eat with your elbows on the table. —Don’t eat with a baseball cap on at the table. —Always say “please” when asking someone to pass the potatoes. Then reply with a “thank you” —Never say, “I ain’t got no potatoes.” —Hold the door for other people. —Don’t disrupt someone who is talking. —Learn the phrases “excuse me” and “pardon me,” and use them. —When meeting someone new, hold out your hand to shake their hand. —Don’t talk with your mouth full. —Open the car door for ladies. —Pull the chair out for ladies to sit at a table. Nowadays, when someone says,
Dear Longing for Etiquette: Thank you for this reminder about the importance of manners. I’m sure that some young people know what manners are, but those who do not are missing out. Manners are a beautiful sign of respect for each other. Here’s hoping that old-fashioned manners will come back in style just like some names from older generations have. ——— Dear Annie: For the woman who wanted her husband to walk her daily two-mile journey with her, perhaps it might be less intimidating to him if they walked short distances, and slowly, at first. Maybe walk a 1/4 mile the first week, and then 1/2 mile the second week, etc. That might seem more manageable for him, if he has been sedentary for a long time. For the young woman who was newly independent and living with roommates, I have some thoughts about her boredom. She has been leaving jobs after a few months, and I agree that most jobs in the food service industry become boring after a short period of time. Perhaps she could work through her boredom and find the tenacity to stay for at least a year. She would then have more financial security, which is what it sounds like she is seeking. If she could tough it out while perhaps taking courses in a field in which she is interested, she could eventually find a more meaningful and lucrative job that she could stay at for a longer period of time. This could leave her more fulfilled during her employment. Employers like to see resumes where someone has stayed at least a year at one position; this shows integrity.
Thanks for considering my suggestions, and thank you also for your kindness, which is always so prevalent and refreshing in your answers! — Just My Two Cents
Bailing Out Is a Short-Term Solution Dear Annie: I would like to tell “Distressed About Departing Dependent” to think about how she can best parent her adult child before caving and giving her money. At age 19, I married a man who spent any money we had and more. My parents didn’t want to support his spending habits so they cut off any funds to me while they continued to bailout my brothers financially. I was angry at my parents for a while but got over it. Meanwhile, my brothers didn’t grow up until the funds dried up many years later, when they were in middle age. I’m very grateful my parents were tough with me. I told my children I wasn’t going to ruin them by bailing them out. It was hard to stick to my guns sometimes. As an adult, my son has expressed his appreciation for bringing him up this way. If you can stick to this, it helps your child become a responsible, independent individual. You may have to go through a period when she is unhappy about it, but she may be grateful later on. — Tried To Be a Good Parent Dear Tried To Be a Good Parent: I am here to tell you that you succeeded in being a good parent because you tried. Trying is the same as caring; when you care about parenting and the job you are doing, you are more than halfway there. Raising a healthy, responsible and independent individual might be hard work at the time, but if you stay the course and stand by your values, it will pay off in the long run. Dear Annie: I have lived with a mental
illness for the past 12 years. I take my meds as prescribed and, for the most part, they keep me stable. I live with my mom and two sisters, but my mom is my main support system. I feel overwhelmed by financial troubles and the fact that we’re all getting older and having health issues. Sometimes, I want to move away because my situation is so stressful. But I don’t want to run away from my problems or leave anyone behind. My mom is getting older and we work as a team to take care of the house and bills. I feel like if I leave, then my mom will have nobody to talk to and may lose her house. We get along really well and are like best friends, but sometimes I feel irritated by her and my sisters — even to the point of packing my bags and leaving. What should I do? — Concerned Brother and Son Dear Concerned Brother and Son: First of all, I congratulate you for being an advocate for your mental health and taking your meds. Treating your mental illness should remain your first priority. It sounds like there is a great deal of positivity in your home, despite the stressors. Feeling irritated by your mom and sisters is understandable. Try not to let things build up, and always address things that bother you about how your sisters or mother are behaving. Let them do the same with you. Continue to focus on your strong support system and how well you all get along together. A loving family is a beautiful thing, and it sounds like you have one.

GIRLS: Dixon downed From Page B2 Junior forward Mara Bledsoe also shot 5 of 6 from the stripe — all before intermission — as Davis built a 27-15 halftime lead. Missing two starters — Emme Eisenman and Maddie Buzbee — to injury and illness, respectively, the Devils held their opponents under 10 points in each of the first two quarters. This after allowing just 3 points after halftime in the Blue Crew’s 48-26 win over Dixon in December. On Monday, the Rams made a run in the second half, holding DHS to just 5 third-quarter points and pulling down nine offensive boards. But the Devils held on for their first win in two weeks. “I thought overall it was just a very gritty win for our group,” Highshoe said. “We had a lot of girls step up so it was great to see them be able to go out there and compete.” Surina Beal finished with 11 points and Caitlin McMillan added 6. Kate Nelson, Courtney Rutherford and Lily Hessl each contributed 2. Davis won the turnover battle, forcing 28 while committing only 16.
Devils 42, Rams 38
Next game: Today at Napa, 7 p.m. “We’re trying to get back into forcing turnovers and being scrappy on defense and limiting (teams) to one-and-done on their offensive end,” Highshoe told the Enterprise. Up next is the coach’s alma mater — Napa High — at 7 p.m. today in Wine Country. The Grizzlies are 10-8 overall and 4-1 in the Vine Valley Conference. Last year, the Devils beat Napa, 66-49. This is the first year in a while that the Griz are without head coach Darci Ward, who stepped down after last season. Ward coached Napa for 16 years, going back to Highshoe’s prep-ball days, and was replaced by Taylor Willis, another Napa High alumni. “I expect a scrappy, fast-paced game and we’re excited to go out there,” Highshoe said. — Reach Lev Farris Goldenberg at levfg2000@gmail.com.

another former Aggie, Oakland Raiders wideout Keelan Doss. Doss and Maier were the deadliest Big Sky aerial combination in 2017-18. Figuring that both worked out in Orange County (Doss in Laguna Beach), had they been playing any catch together ... “We haven’t gotten around to it yet because he’s still figuring out his situation,” Jake explains. “And we’re a little bit separated right now, but I’m sure when we get a weekend off, when we get that down time, we’ll get together again.” Meanwhile, Doss and Maier have been in constant contact via text and phone. “He really got the whole experience of the NFL in just a few months,” Maier says. (Remember, Doss was Oakland’s leading receiver during the 2019 preseason, then was cut and brought to Jacksonville to sign with the Jaguars. Before that ink even got out of the pen, the Raiders called the Alameda native Doss home and signed him to a three-year NFL contract — then rarely used him to catch passes. Long story short, there’s a soap opera in there somewhere.) “That’s part of the deal, the business aspect of it,” Maier tells the newspaper. “You have to always stay ready … the organization always is going to make its best moves business-wise and you just have to be ready to go at all times. You have to make sure you’re the most prepared for anything. “For Keelan to move around and eventually get compensated the way he did and make the most of his opportunities when he
“I
will be the best version of myself for whoever that is. Someone believes in me, I’m going to play for them, and that’s how my career is going to go.” Adds the former Long Beach City College record-setter: “The second, when everybody tells me that I’m done, then I’ll be done. That’s how I want to go out — and I’ll have no problem with that.” Asked if Maier had a perfect landing spot, he responded ... “Aw, man. I’ve never had a favorite team before, but I’ve looked up to guys that ... are currently Hall of Famers or future Hall of Famers.” Maier admits there is one current quarterback especially drawing his attention. “To be a teammate of Drew Brees, for example,” Maier ponders. “That would be unbelievable for me, something that would be pretty surreal.” (Apparently it’s not just observers who are drawing comparisons between Maier and Brees. The ex-Aggie has seen his own similarities to the New Orleans Saints driving force.) Maier took a deep breath just before concluding his phone chat with The Enterprise ... “You know, if you had told me all these things were going to happen five, six years ago, I’d have told you you were crazy. I’m just really grateful,” Maier says. — Reach Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet41@gmail.com, call him at 530-320-4456.
