Measure G: What are the stakes?

UC task force recommends keeping SAT Research finds UC takes sufficient measures to offset testing biases

BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer After more than year of research and analysis, the University of California’s standardized testing task force released a report Monday recommending the university continue to use the SAT and ACT as an admissions requirement. The UC Academic Senate released the report amid public and internal pressure to drop the tests, which critics say disadvantage underserved applicants.

“This report is the culmination of more than a year’s research, analysis and thoughtful deliberation from task force members across a wide range of disciplines on UC campuses

and will be instrumental in shaping the University’s continued evaluation of current testing practices,” the UC Office of the President said in a statement Monday.

After soliciting system-wide faculty input on the task force report between now and April, the Academic Senate will make a final recommendation to UC President Janet Napolitano.

The UC Board of Regents are expected to make a final decision in May. While several top UC officials have recently spoken out against the SAT and ACT, it is the Academic Senate that is charged with determining UC’s admissions requirements. A decision by the regents in May

that goes against the senate’s recommendation would likely be seen as an overstep and could spark a political crisis within the university.

At a college admissions forum in November, UC Berkeley Chancellor Carol T. Christ, UC Santa Cruz Chancellor Cynthia K. Larive and UC Provost Michael Brown said they were convinced by research showing performance on the SAT and ACT is heavily influenced by race, family income and parents’ education.

“They really contribute to the inequities of our system,” said Christ, who eliminated the SAT requirement at Smith College while serving as the school’s president in 2002.

“The initial information that I’ve seen shows that the highest predictive value of an SAT isn’t in how well a student will do in school, but how well they were

able to avail themselves of prep material,” Chairman John A. Pérez recently told the Los Angeles Times. “And access to that prep material is still disproportionately tied to family income.”

According to the task force’s research, the UC admissions process has sufficient measures in place to compensate for standardized testing biases against disadvantaged students. For example, applicants’ test scores are compared not only on a statewide scale but also in a localized context. By viewing scores in the context of an applicant’s high school, admissions officers identify students who stand out in their own town or neighborhood. Because of this approach, the research found, Latino students were more likely to be admitted to a UC

If Measure G is approved — and for approval, it needs a two-thirds majority of participating local voters in the March 3 election — Measure G would assess local property owners a flat rate assessment of $198 per parcel annually. And pursuant to California court rulings that parcel taxes must be assessed as a flat fee, that $198 is the same for single family homes (regardless of the property’s size or assessed value), and is also the same for a duplex or triplex (on a single parcel of land), or an apartment complex with multiple units (on a single parcel of land).

Funding under Measure G would go toward bringing the salaries for teachers and rank and school district support staff up to a level that is competitive with the salaries being paid by other school districts in the region.

(Currently, the Davis school district’s salaries are a bit lower, on average, than those offered by school districts in Woodland, Dixon, West Sacramento and elsewhere.)

Funds from Measure G would not

County: Flu is a bigger City seeks nominations for threat than coronavirus Huynh memorial awards

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Coronavirus may be dominating the headlines but influenza remains the bigger threat to Yolo County residents.

Flu activity has increased throughout the state over the past several weeks, the state Department of Public Health reported last week, with clinic visits for flu at higher than expected levels.

“Flu remains the highest risk for respiratory illness in our community,” Yolo County’s deputy health officer, Dr. Mary Ann Limbos, said Friday.

The flu vaccine can help prevent the flu or drastically reduce the length and severity of the illness, the Yolo County health department noted. Other preventative steps: frequent hand

washing with soap; avoiding touching your eyes, nose and mouth; and avoiding close contact with sick people.

Those who are sick are urged to stay home.

The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by the influenza viruses and can vary from mild to severe illness. Symptoms generally include a high fever, headache, chills, body aches, sore throat and cough. Some individuals, such as older people, young children and people with certain chronic health conditions, are at higher risk for serious flu complications.

This year’s flu season has recently been complicated by the emergence of a novel

Special to The Enterprise The city of Davis Human Relations Commission is seeking nominations for this year’s Thong Hy Huynh Memorial Awards. The awards were established to acknowledge the racially motivated stabbing death of high school student Thong Hy Huynh on the Davis High School campus in 1983.

“The Thong Hy Huynh Award honors individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions in addressing or improving civil and human rights issues in the community,” said Mayor Brett Lee. “The City Council, along with the Human Relations Commission, looks forward to recognizing those influencing positive changes in the areas of human rights, social justice and civil rights.”

The Commission encourages groups and individuals to submit award nominations prior to Friday, March 13, at 5 p.m.

Nominations may be submitted in any of the following five categories:

Woodland shooting injures woman, child

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Shots rang out again in Woodland on Sunday night, injuring a woman and child at a Walnut Street residence.

Sgt. Dallas Hyde said the shooting was reported at 9:52 p.m. in the 100 block of Walnut Street, where arriving officers “located an adult female and juvenile male victim who had apparent gunshot wounds.”

Both victims were transported to the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, where they remained in stable condition Tuesday, according to Hyde.

Police later received a second report of shots fired in the 200 block of

Schuerle Street — roughly a mile west of the first shooting incident — but it was unclear whether the two were related.

No suspects have been identified in the Walnut Street shooting, the motive for which also remains under investigation, Hyde said. Anyone with information about this incident is urged to call the Woodland Police Department at 530666-2411, or the agency’s investigations 24-hour crime tip line at 530-6617851.

Sunday’s shooting continues a streak of gun-related violence that has plagued Woodland since last fall, resulting in three deaths and multiple injuries. Police have

Briefly Passenger dies in collision A solo vehicle crash in Woodland killed the passenger and left the driver severely injured early Sunday morning, police said.

Officers responding to the midnight collision at East Gum Avenue east of Bourne Drive arrived to find two people inside the white GMC truck, which had struck a brick sound wall “at a very high rate of speed,� according to Woodland police Sgt. Dallas Hyde. “There was a male driver and a male passenger in the vehicle, and both were trapped inside and unresponsive,� Hyde said. Medical personnel later pronounced the passenger dead at the scene, while the driver, unconscious but breathing, was transported to the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento with major injuries.

Yolo County coroner’s officials identified the passenger Monday as Woodland resident Edwin Ortiz Hernandez, 33. Police had not released the driver’s name as of Monday but said the investigation into the crash is ongoing.

For the record An article in the Sunday, Feb. 2, Enterprise mistakenly referred to a Tier 2 pre-emergent herbicide the city plans to use this spring in street medians and large landscaped areas as Blockade.

The correct name is Barricade.

Thanks for adding to the debate I t’s hard to find anyone in Davis who will publicly admit to voting against any schools measure, but four brave souls actually signed their real names to the official “Argument Against� Measure G. This, of course, is the permanent $198 parcel tax on the March 3 ballot, which, in case you haven’t noticed, is just around the corner. “Davis residents have consistently supported increasing taxes for our schools,� they begin on a cheery note. “However,� they add predictably, “after careful analysis, we urge a no vote on Measure G. To ensure the continued health of our community, other options for increasing teacher salaries should be explored.�

Given that any senior citizen can claim a complete exemption from any and all parcel taxes, that argument doesn’t stand up. And yes, I’ve argued against blanket exemptions that are based on age, not need, but that’s the rule at this point and it’s not likely to change. “How would Measure G impact the age and economic diversity of

Driver sentenced for wrong-way DUI crash Special to The Enterprise A 19-year-old Woodland woman was sentenced to 10 years of probation and more than $2.5 million in restitution for her role in a wrong-way DUI collision that injured two other people.

Brooklyn Johnson pleaded no contest on Dec. 19 to felony counts of driving under the influence of drugs causing injury, with enhancements for great bodily injury and multiple victims, and driving the wrong way on a divided highway causing injury.

The crash occurred at 4:20 a.m. on Oct. 19, 2018, when Johnson, traveling the wrong way on Interstate 5, in Yolo County, collided head-on with another vehicle. Witnesses reported seeing Johnson driving erratically and seeing sparks coming from a tire.

Yolo Superior Court Judge Janene Beronio sentenced Johnson on Friday to the 10-year probation term and ordered her to pay $2,577,244 in restitution to her victims.

The driver of the other vehicle sustained severe injuries that have resulted in more than $2 million in losses.

“This is an unfortunate reminder that consuming drugs is just as dangerous as alcohol when getting behind the wheel,� District Attorney Jeff Reisig said.

I doubt that $16.50 a month is going to force anyone to move to Esparto, especially since the senior exemption would reduce that to $0.00 a month And just to muddy the waters, the anti-Measure G folks conclude by noting “Each year over 600 students from other districts receive inter-district transfers to attend Davis schools. Is it fair that these students are subsidized by our tax dollars?�

At first blush, no. But given that the state gives us substantial support for each student we enroll — no matter where those students live — it makes economic sense to take out-of-district students if we have the room to accommodate them.

Although I disagree with their arguments, I take my hat off to Mary and John and Katie and Tom for having the courage to publicly state their beliefs and sign their full names in a town that is likely to vote overwhelmingly against their position.

Thanks to all of them for speaking their mind. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

BY LAUREN KEENE Davis police are seeking a suspect who sexually battered a woman in South Davis on Sunday night.

According to police reports, the woman and a friend were removing items from a vehicle in the 1800 block of Cowell Boulevard at about 8 p.m. when the incident occurred. “An unknown male suspect approached one of the females from behind and began touching her inappropriately against her will over her clothing,�

Lt. Art Camacho said

Tuesday. “The suspect fled the scene on a bicycle when a third person arrived and interrupted the incident.�

Officers searched the area but were unable to locate the suspect, described as a white or Hispanic male adult, about 5-foot-6 and of average build, clean shaven, wearing a black “hoodie� and blue jeans.

He was last seen riding away on a blue beach cruiser-style bike, Camacho said.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Davis Police Department at 530-747-5400.

Dodd introduces ‘hi-lo’ evacuation warning bill Special to The Enterprise State Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, introduced wildfire-inspired legislation on Monday, Feb. 3, to improve emergency evacuations and public safety. The bill would authorize municipalities across the state to use European-style “hi-lo� sirens in emergency vehicles to alert people of evacuations. “This distinct warning is proven to be effective and will save lives as California deals with the ongoing wildfire threat,�

Dodd said. “It tells people to stop what they’re doing, gather their loved ones and get out now.

When seconds count, that unmistakable blast, tell-

ing people to evacuate, is absolutely critical.�

Existing law restricts the use of hi-lo sirens.

However, a pilot program last year in Napa County showed the warning popularized in England would be a powerful tool in getting people to flee encroaching wildfires. The Sonoma County Sheriff ’s Office also successfully deployed the technique during the Kincaid Fire.

Senate Bill 909 allows all public safety agencies to use hi-lo warnings for evacuation purposes. “We would like to thank Sen. Dodd for understanding the need for this highly effective community warning tool,� Napa County Sheriff John Rob-

New trees planted on Russell

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2020 A3

Keeping up with the crisis news

S

Special to The Enterprise The renowned black walnut trees that line Russell Blvd west of Highway 113 — fondly referred to as the Avenue of Trees — are a living piece of the City of Davis’ origins.

Designated as Landmark Trees, these historic walnuts were planted by the LaRue family in the 1870s through a stateand county-led effort to build a corridor between Davisville and Winters.

That stretch of Russell Boulevard then became part of the first transcontinental highway, known as the Lincoln Highway.

These large and majestic trees provided aesthetic beauty and innumerable shade, air and water quality benefits to residents who lived nearby and those passing through via car, bike or on foot.

In the last few decades, these 140-year-old walnuts have faced many challenges. Pests and disease have taken their toll as the trees have become infested with mistletoe and thousand cankers disease. Though some of these remarkable sentinel trees still stand alive today, the vast majority of the trees planted in the 1870s have died and many have been removed.

Stumps have lined the Boulevard for many years now.

Tree Davis has long sought to revitalize this historic corridor, which is treasured by so many of Davis’ residents, and on Jan. 25, finally got its chance.

Through a partnership grant with the city of Davis, Tree Davis is

Tree Davis volunteers planted 42 trees along Russell Boulevard on Jan. 25. implementing an intensive tree planting effort through the CALFIRE and Proposition 68-funded Community Canopy Program. This program aims to bring 1,000 trees to Davis residents over the next two years, focusing on planting climate-ready tree species in under-served communities and assisting the city with the development of an Urban Forest Management Plan.

Thanks to the Community Canopy Program, Tree Davis staff and volunteers were able to plant 42 trees along the historic stretch of Russell — Valley Oak, Blue Oak and Cork Oak trees, interspersed between the remaining black walnuts.

By planting a mix of species and avoiding a monoculture, Tree Davis aims to add biological diversity to the area, which will provide some degree of biological insurance policy if and when other pests and diseases arrive in the area. Additionally, with greater tree diversity may come greater diversity of the soil microbial community, lichens, invertebrates, birds, retiles and mammals.

o much is happening in the world that relates to the climate crisis. It’s hard to keep up, much less figure out whether more of the news is positive or negative or whether we should look at the aggregate as a glass half full or a glass half empty. Or, as an engineer would look at it, is the glass the wrong size?

I go back and forth on this or maybe around and around is a more apt description. See what you think about this batch of news.

News Item No. 1: The Corporate Electric Vehicle Alliance was formed recently to stimulate the electrification of trucks and other vehicles in the shipping and delivery business. Although trucks carry about three-quarters of all freight shipped or delivered, there are few options for companies in that industry to electrify their fleets. CEVA is aggregating demand to get the automakers’ attention.

Participants include Amazon that (according to a recent article, has “ordered 100,000 electric delivery vans this fall.”

Similarly, Lime, a purveyor of e-scooters and bikes, is a member of the group and advocating the creation of an extensive charging infrastructure.

News Item No. 2: Most Americans are largely insulated from the knowledge of what is happening in the rest of the world.

But climate-related disasters are a fact of life for many who can ill afford the disruption of their lives and livelihood.

Perhaps my sources of information are limited, but I didn’t know until a friend sent me a news article stating that ABC News and Grist recently reported that East African is under siege from “billions of

desert locusts” due in part to “unusual climate conditions.”

This disaster has been characterized, as “an insect swarm of biblical proportions, but climate change, not an angry deity, is to blame.” Further, “East Africa is experiencing the most serious outbreak of locusts in 25 years, posing an unprecedented threat to food security.”

News Item No. 3: It’s framed as a housing issue; a California legislator introduced a bill to prevent cities from prohibiting increased density along transit corridors and near schools. Such a policy, if enacted, would also have huge potential for reducing automobile traffic and hence greenhouse gas emissions.

Bringing population density together with transit options can reduce car traffic, enhance livability as local businesses sprout up near transit stops, give kids the opportunity to walk or bike to school, and local residents can shop for household and other necessities without getting into a car.

The bill was supported by both the environmental and business communities, garnered support from many cities, and its concept is a key part of California’s

nationally recognized efforts to meet its greenhouse gas reduction targets.

It lost. Why? Because it would have overridden local government authority.

Boo hoo. I have always favored local government action in favor of state or federal control. But we have a housing crisis, a homelessness crisis and a climate crisis all at the same time.

Our situation would seem to require big thinking and action.

I wrote in my last column that individuals should stop beating themselves up for not doing every one of the “Fifty Simple Things You Can Do to Save The Earth.”

Seriously, we don’t have time for that. Real solutions now reside above the level of the individual. This, I believe, is also true of individual cities. Solutions to the climate crisis, assuming they are well thought out and scientifically solid, cannot be implemented piecemeal, city-by-city, slowly, and perhaps end up never happening at all.

News Item No. 4: Who knew? When our president went to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, recently he took with him his ignorance of the climate crisis as an existential threat.

But, while there, according to the New York Times, “Though Mr. Trump barely mentioned climate change, he did commit the United States to a World Economic Forum initiative to plant a trillion new trees as a way to

mitigate carbon dioxide emissions. The president pledged that the United States would work to manage and preserve its forests.”

Time will tell what “manage and preserve” means. That’s “trillion” with a T. News Item No. 5: Poland relies 80 percent on coal to produce electricity. The result is 30 of Europe’s most polluted cities are in Poland.

The air quality got so bad that the governing body in Krakow took dramatic steps to clean up the air, including converting their buses to electric and banning the burning of coal.

Whoa! Really? They banned burning coal? Well sort of. Coal-fired power plants can still be coal-fired power plants, but coal for home heating is now illegal.

The city subsidizes at least 50 percent of the cost of new gas-burning furnaces and pays a portion of energy bills. They have a fleet of drones flying over the town to enforce the ban. And, whaddya know, according to the local police, “People have noticed the difference in air quality and want more — more green spaces, more efficient recycling, more electric public transportation, more healthy solutions.”

I wager no one has told them they will eventually be replacing those gas furnaces with electric heating.

NOTICE OF PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY’S REQUEST TO INCREASE RATES TO REDUCE THE IMPACT OF PUBLIC SAFETY POWER SHUTOFFS AND EXPAND MICROGRIDS (R.19-09-009) SUMMARY On January 21, 2020, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) filed its proposal to increase rates to safely reduce the impact of future Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events by expanding the use of microgrids. Microgrids are designed to provide local sources of power to customers when there is a wider outage on the electric grid.

The proposal seeks to safely reduce the impact of PSPS events on customers through the following programs: •

Upgrades to certain electric power substations to provide local sources of power for customers in the event of a PSPS event

•

Provide power through temporary electric generation units for use during 2020 PSPS events

•

Funding to support communities interested in implementing their own community-level microgrids to serve certain important facilities, such as hospitals and water treatment facilities

If the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approves these proposals, PG&E will begin recovering costs and increase electric rates in August 2020.

BACKGROUND Senate Bill 1339 was signed into California law in 2018 with the goal of supporting microgrid development throughout the state. The goal of deploying microgrids is to minimize the number of customers that may be impacted by PSPS events and for those customers that are impacted, they may be impacted for shorter periods of time.

HOW WILL THE PROPOSAL AFFECT MY ELECTRIC RATE? Most customers receive bundled electric service from PG&E, meaning they receive electric generation, transmission and distribution services. Based on rates currently in effect, the bill for a typical residential nonCARE customer using 500 kWh per month would increase from $124.41 to $126.09, or 1.4%.

Direct Access and Community Choice Aggregation customers only receive electric transmission and distribution services from PG&E. On average, these customers would see an increase of 1.7%.

Another category of nonbundled customers is Departing Load. These customers do not receive electric generation, transmission or distribution services from PG&E. However, these customers are required to pay certain charges by law or CPUC decision. The impact of PG&E’s proposal on these customers is an average increase of 0.6%.

Detailed rate information is being sent directly to customers in February and March.

Sweet, luscious snacks for loved ones Special to The Enterprise Valentine’s Day naturally brings thoughts of hearts, flowers, sweetness and love. Because it also occurs during American Heart Month, it’s a perfect opportunity to start taking care of your own heart and the hearts of loved ones.

Part of the charm of the day’s celebrations is in giving family and friends flavorful foods to enjoy from chocolates and candies to other sugary treats. However, the festivities don’t have to be completely focused on unhealthy bites in order to make someone feel special.

This year, it can be easy to share in the fun of Valentine’s Day by serving those you love with sweet, seasonal treats. For example, these Frosted Watermelon Cutouts make for ideal snacks for children and adults alike whether it’s an after-school treat or a sweet dessert with just three ingredients, heart-shaped cookie cutters and minimal time spent in the kitchen.

If you’re really looking to impress that special someone, this Watermelon

Watermelon and Chocolate Dessert Board

and Chocolate Dessert Board calls for creativity and plenty of tasty morsels like berries, cashews, almonds and dark chocolate. Without any baking or cooking required, simply spread out the ingredients for a platter that’s just as visually appealing as it is appetizing.

Both recipes include the benefits of watermelon, which boasts plenty of vitamin C to boost the immune system’s defenses as a cholesterol-free, fat-free and sodium-free food.

Plus, watermelon draws its red color from the powerful antioxidant lycopene (12.7 mg per serving), which may help protect cells from damage, and the healthy treat is American Heart Association Heart-Check Certified with just 80 calories per serving, making it the perfect centerpiece for Valentine’s Day recipes.

Tips for buying jewelry Special to The Enterprise

natural stones, so shoppers should ask if a stone is natural, synthetic or imitation before purchasing anything.

Valentine’s Day is rife with tradition. Couples may have their own unique traditions, but others, like Valentine’s Day date nights, are widely popular.

One Valentine’s Day tradition many couples embrace is the exchange of gifts. Shoppers might not need much advice when purchasing heart-shaped boxes of chocolates or flowers for their sweethearts. However, when shopping for jewelry, Valentine’s Day celebrants may feel as though they’re in over their heads. The following tips, courtesy of the Better Business Bureau, can help shoppers as they navigate the potentially confusing process of buying jewelry.

Diamonds The BBB notes that diamonds’ value is based on color, cut, clarity, and carat. Often referred to as the “4 Cs,” this criteria refers to the grade of the color (color), the way the diamond is finished (cut), how flawless the diamond is (clarity), and its weight (carat). When shopping for diamonds, the BBB advises asking jewelers if they have the most up-to-date testing equipment, which makes it easier for them to distinguish between diamonds and lab-created

Buying jewelry can be intimidating. However, buyers can work with their jewelers to find a beautiful piece their sweethearts will be proud to wear. gemstones. That’s important, as lab-created gemstones resemble diamonds and may not be detectable if jewelers are using testing equipment designed to identify cubic zirconia.

Colored gemstones Colored gemstones are very popular, and the BBB notes that various new stone treatments have

been developed to improve their appearance and durability. However, the BBB also notes that such treatments may adversely affect the value of the gem and necessitate special care in order to maintain the gem’s appearance. When shopping for colored gemstones, ask the jeweler if an item has been treated and if there’s any special maintenance required. Imitation or assembled stones may look like

When used alone, the word gold implies an item is all gold or 24 karat gold. But the BBB notes that gold is naturally soft and, as a result, is typically mixed with other metals to improve its hardness and durability. The karat-quality marking indicates what proportion of gold is mixed with other metals.

For example, the most common mark for gold jewelry is 18K of 750, which signifies an item is 75 percent gold. Lower-karat gold jewelry may include copper, silver, zinc, or other metals. Consumers should ask about these alloys and determine if the item’s ultimate recipient is allergic to certain metals or if he or she has a high acid content in their bodies. People with high acid content in their bodies may have their jewelry turn black as a result.

Buying jewelry can be intimidating. However, jewelry buyers can work with their jewelers to find a beautiful piece their sweethearts will be proud to wear this Valentine’s Day. More information on buying jewelry can be found at www.bbb.org.

MEASURE G: School board pushing for yes vote From Page A1 go toward the salaries of senior administrators at the district office. To a large extent, funding from Measure G would allow the school district to boost teacher salaries up to the regional average, while maintaining the school district’s current academic program, which includes more elective class offers ranging from music to science to world languages, as well more Advanced Placement courses, than are offered by most school districts in the region.

Measure G includes the usual exemptions for homeowners age 65 and up, and for property owners receiving federal Supplemental Security Income or Social Security Disability payments.

There is also an exemption option for school district employees who are local homeowners (including teachers and support staff ).

Measure G does not have a specified expiration date, and would remain in place until it is rescinded (or modified) by local voters. In this regard, Measure G is similar to the Davis Special Library Tax (which likewise has no fixed expiration date). The Davis Special Library Tax was approved by Davis voters as Measure B in 1989 (authorizing a $42-per-parcel tax) and again in November 2007 as Measure P, raising the tax to $88 per parcel, with an optional 2 percent adjustment for inflation.

What if it fails?

Almost immediately, the school board would need to start contemplating a number of belttightening budgetary options.

And in spring 2021, the school district would likely decide to mail out pink slips to some teachers and cut back some popular academic programs.

Otherwise, the school district would have considerable difficulty meeting state-required minimum financial reserve standards. Within several years, the robust academic offerings that Davis families have long enjoyed in local schools would be slimmed down.

An alternative plan would let teacher salaries in Davis remain 5 to 7 percent below the regional average, and see other neighboring districts recruit experienced teachers (as well as newly credentialed younger teachers) at the expense of the Davis district.

These are potential scenarios that the school district trustees — and some Davis parents with kids in the local schools — are not fond of contemplating.

School board trustees Davis school board president Cindy Pickett told The Enterprise she hopes that local voters will realize how much is at stake and

approve Measure G. “The Board of Education is committed to keeping teacher and support staff salaries competitive.

There is a FERNANDES Trustee teacher shortage in California, and to maintain the excellence of our schools, we must take steps now to attract and retain the highest quality teachers and staff.”

Pickett continued, “Reflecting his commitment, the school voted unanimously to place Measure G on the March 3 ballot. Passage of Measure G would provide $198 a year (per parcel) to allow our district to meet the average pay rate for teachers and staff in our region. If Measure G does not pass, the Board would be faced with the decision of whether to cut programs in the schools. The difficulty, however, is that these programs are what makes our Davis school district attractive to families, and how we have managed to be a top-ranked district in the region year after year.

“We have heard directly from parents and community members that they do not want us to erode the quality of our schools. We are in a tough spot as a district because of the lack of state funding that we receive. Thus, we are turning to the voters of Davis, who have consistently maintained their dedication to our schools, to vote ‘yes’ on Measure G for our teachers and our students.”

Trustee Alan Fernandes was the first on the current school board to advocate for a parcel tax that would bring Davis salaries for teachers and staff up to a more competitive level.

“Voters have consistently supported our public schools and may feel a level of exhaustion about continuing to support schools at the ballot,” Fernandes said. “If we desire to continue offering the exemplary public education we have all come to expect, it is important to understand state law now requires districts like ours to pass local funding measures to prevent falling further behind on teacher compensation. Without Measure G, we will have to choose certain programs over attracting and retaining our district educators; and, if forced to choose, I plan to support our teachers over specialty programs.”

Trustee Joe DiNunzio also served on the parcel-tax subcommittee, and said, “I believe a big part of why Davis is widely regarded as a desirable place to live in is because of the Davis public schools, and high quality public schools rely on competitively compensated educators.

Based on the analysis the parceltax subcommittee (presented at

the June 6, 2019, board meeting), the Davis district’s teachers and staff are currently paid between 5 and 7 percent less than their counterparts at comparable regional districts. That analysis also showed that more than onequarter of our current teachers and more than one-third of our staff are likely to retire in the next three to seven years. With a growing shortage of new educators in California, replacing them will be challenging.”

DiNunzio added “The June 6 analysis identified that either a parcel tax of $198 — or a set of programmatic budget reductions — would be necessary to generate the $3 million required to bridge the current educator pay gap.

Should Measure G pass, the funds associated with it will go to bring teacher and staff compensation up to the regional average effective with the new school year. If Measure G fails to pass, any direction on specific actions on budget cuts would be taken up by the whole board after the election.”

Teachers union Victor Lagunes, who teaches eighth-grade history in the Da Vinci Charter Academy portion of the Emerson/Da Vinci campus in West Davis, is the president of the Davis Teachers Association, which is supporting Measure G. Lagunes said “A quarter of the members of the DTA will be eligible to retire within the next three years. And when you place that beside the teacher shortage statewide, it will be difficult for our district if our district is unable to offer competitive salaries with other districts in the county.”

Lagunes added that prospect of getting more money from the state is remote. The legislature has fully funded the state’s Local Control Funding Formula (which provides the majority of funding for K-12 school districts) and as a result “there will be no new state money (for Davis) except for the annual cost of living adjustment.

The DTA was also “part of the planning process” for Measure G. And numerous DTA members are walking precincts, ringing doorbells and handing out campaign brochures. “We want voters to know that Measure G is good for the community, and will maintain the education quality we’re used to” in the local public schools.

Lagunes said that the district is having a difficult time recruiting teachers who are just coming out of a credential program and starting their careers. Those new teachers are “going to other districts” that offer higher starting salaries, Lagunes said, because “compensation is more meaningful in the early part of their career” when they are contemplating things like marriage, housing and starting a family.

To maintain quality schools in Davis, “we want to have our pick of all the new educators coming out of the credential programs,” he concluded. “We know that Davis is a community that values education.”

Historical context Davis-area voters approved the first local school parcel tax in 1984, and have passed renewals/ extensions of that initial parcel tax at intervals during the passing years. When the state budget crisis in 2008 resulted in slashing reductions in funding for education, local voters approved two emergency supplemental parcel tax measures in order to sustain the school district’s academic programs, at a time when many school districts were making deep program cuts and laying off teachers.

Currently, there is one local school parcel tax in place — 2016’s Measure H, which is now roughly halfway through its eight-year term. Measure H supports a long list of local academic programs, including music, reading, math, science, school libraries, counselors, athletics, and more. During the current tax year, Davis property owners were assessed $664.14 per parcel.

In 2018, Davis voters also approved Measure M, a $150 million school facilities bond, aimed at shoring up the aging school campuses around Davis, many of which were built in the 1950s or 1960s, and are now 50- to 60-plus years old. Measure M charges homeowners with a $0.0058 tax rate per $100 of assessed value — for example, a Davis home with an assessed value of $684,500 was charged about $380 in the current tax year.

The property tax bill also includes one or more school district Community Facilities District assessments that generate funding for construction and improvement of school district facilities. Community Facilities District No. 1 is assessed across the entire school district, and charged a flat fee of $284.94 per parcel in the current property tax year. Community Facilities District No. 2 applies to homes in more recently built parts of town (such as Mace Ranch, among other neighborhoods). One Mace Ranch home with an assessed value of about $684,00 was assessed $598 under Community Facilities No. 2 in the current property tax year.

This year’s Measure G, if approved by voters, would go alongside 2016’s Measure H and 2018’s Measure M, and the Community Facilities District(s) on a homeowner’s property tax bill. (And it should be noted that, legally, funds from a school facilities bond like 2018’s Measure M can only be spent on facilities, and cannot be used for

employee salaries.)

Opponents’ questions Measure G has a number of opponents. A ballot argument against Measure G was included in Yolo County Voter Information Guide for the March 3 election, signed by Mary McDonald (described as “school psychologist” and “parent”), John Hoover (president of the Yolo County Taxpayers Association), Katie Kelly (Davis farmer and parent) and Tom Randall Jr. (a longtime Davis resident and Davis High graduate).

The opposition argument against Measure G poses a variety of questions including “Might existing funding be better used to increase teacher salaries?” and “Shouldn’t taxation be based on the square foot of the structure?” and further suggest that the Davis district might be able to get more money from the state.

Lastly, the opposition argument raises an issue that’s been a hot potato among some local taxpayers for years: “Each year over 600 students from other districts receive interdistrict transfers to attend Davis schools.

Is it fair that these students are subsidized by our tax dollars?”

The rebuttal to the argument against Measure G offers a response to these questions, saying that “state funding to school districts is legally fixed by a (state) formula,” and the state’s formula is unlikely to change anytime soon. Also “Each out-ofboundary student provides more than $8,900 in state funding” to the Davis school district, which “enables the district to maintain a steady enrollment” despite the falling birth rate across California, thereby “avoiding significant budget and program cuts.”

Campaign funding The Yes on Measure G campaign is backed by a $41,559 donation from the Davis Teachers Association.

There was also a nonmonetary donation of $1,016 by the Yes for Our Students committee (a longstanding group that has backed various parcel-tax campaigns in the past), in the form of donated lawn signs (which are now seen in various neighborhoods), wine for a campaign kickoff reception and campaign stickers and buttons.

As far as The Enterprise is able to determine, the opponents of Measure G have not filed paperwork for the formation of a fundraising committee, and they have not raised money toward a campaign (for printing lawn signs and such) other than paying for inclusion of the ballot argument opposing Measure G in the Yolo County Voter Education Guide.

SAT: Task force sees room for improvement on disadvantaged students From Page A1 than were white students who scored in the same percentile on the SAT. According to the report, the task force “did not find evidence that UC’s use of test scores played a major role in worsening the effects of disparities already present among applicants.”

The report also states that the review committee “did find evidence that UC’s admissions process helped to make up for the

potential adverse effect of score differences between groups.”

Founded in 1868 as a public land-grant university, UC was given a mandate to equitably serve Californians of all backgrounds.

While the University of California enrolls a significantly higher percentage of disadvantaged students than other top research universities, the task force found that UC’s admissions process still lags behind in

At UC Davis, there are 14 elements considered in admissions decisions, the SAT or ACT being one of them. The weight placed on the standardized tests

varies from campus to campus within the UC system.

UC and CSU’s decisions on whether to retain the SAT and ACT have been viewed as strong determinants of the future of the tests, as applicants to the two school systems represent a large share of customers for the testing companies.

SHOOTING: Cops focus on gang ties From Page A1 said they suspect the shootings to be gang-related.

Those killed by the gunfire have included: ■ Alvaro Gamera, 16, of Esparto, fatally shot on Oct. 21 at North and East streets. Two other victims also were injured.

■ Raymond Ortiz, 44, of Woodland, shot to death Nov. 17 in the 100 block of Elm Street.

■ Isaaco Carlos Morales, 20, of Woodland, fatally shot on Jan. 9 in the 100 block of College Street.

The Woodland Police Department announced last month the launching of a gang task force dedicated to curbing the suspected gang crimes, as well as a reward fund for information leading to suspect arrests that so far have eluded the agency.

In a video posted to the agency’s Facebook page, Woodland police Sgt. Francisco DeLeon said the task force was “created to investigate and combat gang crime in the city of Woodland,” with local and state agencies invited to partner in that effort.

“The Woodland Police Department and the community as a whole will not tolerate gang crime in the city of Woodland,” DeLeon said. The reward fund pays up to $100,000 for information leading to suspect arrests and convictions.

Boosters keep on giving Blue Devils softball scoreboard is the latest addition

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK FRANNY BOLIVAR

C

oming into this week’s crucial Delta League soccer games against second-place Pleasant Grove and third-place St. Francis, the Davis High girls hold a commanding seven-point lead in the quest to win their sixth straight championship.

But in order to enjoy such an advantage, the Devils needed to hand contending and contentious Franklin just its second defeat on the season.

When things got late, the score remained tight as neither team had yet to break the deadlock.

But up stepped junior and three-year contributor Franny Bolivar.

Finding an open spot, Bolivar — as she’s done so many times in her prep career finished a Summer Baron cross at the back post for the only goal of the night — in the process giving DHS all three points, helping to further extend the locals’ circuit advantage For her accomplishments, the staff of The Enterprise — of behalf of sponsor Greiner Heating and Air — have bestowed Blue Devil Athlete of the Week honors on Bolivar.

Despite making the team as a freshman and coming up with key moments over the next few seasons, Bolivar’s junior year has seen her emerge as the locals’ go-to attacking player.

Head coach Sara Stone says her active junior has helped fill the void left by the graduation of several NCAA Division I forwards last June.

While the attacking midfielder has missed a few games due to injury this season, she ranks third on Davis High with three goals — the one against the Wildcats no doubt proving the most important so far.

Want a chance to see Bolivar, and the rest of her brilliant teammates, in action?

The Blue Devils return to the field today for a match at Pleasant Grove, a team that DHS beat 4-0 earlier in the season.

Undefeated at 7-0-1 in conference and 8-0-3 overall, a win today secures yet another DHS Delta banner.

www.iTrustGreiner.com

BY OWEN YANCHER Enterprise staff writer The Davis High softball team will soon have a sparkling new scoreboard at its Community Park digs thanks to the latest round of grants provided by the Davis Blue Devil Athletic Boosters.

With nearly $70,000 awarded to DHS sports programs over the past two years, the backer group announced this past week thousands of dollars in new gifts to the Blue Devil basketball, softball,

baseball, wrestling and crosscountry programs.

This past fall, the DHS weight room — used by nearly all on-campus teams — got a facelift. A booster-group award provided funds to upgrade outdated weights with new dumbbells, bars and safety harnesses. Likewise, the Davis High track-and-field squad received financial help to aid with a long overdue hurdles overhaul.

“Most of them had been here since before I started coaching in 2004,” Devil track

coach Spencer Elliott says. “So like any piece of equipment, they’d worn out.”

The longtime coach says the $4,000 equipment grant also helped lower his suggested team contributions for athletes.

“Every year I set up my budget to figure out what our projected expenses are and what our income needs to look like,” Elliott adds. “And this (latest gift) takes a big part of the fundraising financial burden off of our families.”

DBDAB president Sanford

Gladding encourages community members to aid the boosters’ efforts. Devil supporters can help out by purchasing annual memberships (good for free admission for up to five individuals at all DHS sporting events) and through fundraising events like organization’s upcoming Wildhorse Golf Club Tournament on May 8.

DHS hoopsters lose 2 Setback tightens girls’ race

System failure for boys

BY LEV FARRIS GOLDENBERG

BY OWEN YANHCER Enterprise staff writer

Enterprise staff writer The playoff race just got a little tighter for Davis High girls hoops.

After falling to Elk Grove at home, 57-38, on Monday night, the Blue Devils host Sheldon tonight at 7 p.m. in a bout of postseason hopefuls.

DHS (13-10 overall, 3-5 league) sits a halfgame back of the Huskies (13-10, 3-4), who hold the coveted fourth spot in the Delta. The conference receives four postseason bids for the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section tournament.

Right now, the Devils are on the outside looking in. “(Tonight’s) huge and the girls know it,” said head coach Heather Highshoe after the loss.

“We gotta win games if we wanna go to playoffs, but it’s not out of reach.”

Still on the docket for the locals are matchups against Franklin (Friday, home) and St. Francis (Feb. 14, home), both of whom beat Davis the first time through league. DHS also hosts McClatchy for a nonleague game on Feb. 10 and visits Pleasant Grove (0-8 Delta) on Feb. 12.

After Davis, Sheldon will face Pleasant Grove and Cosumnes Oaks — who the Huskies beat — and St. Francis and Elk Grove, who the Huskies lost to.

But this time, the Devils will hold homecourt advantage — no small thing, says Highshoe.

ELK GROVE — Some nights The System works exactly how it was designed to.

Davis High basketball opponents fall victim to the chaotic playing style, turn the ball over left-and-right and the Blue Devils strike again and again on fast-break opportunities.

But some nights it fails miserably.

Monday’s tilt between DHS and Elk Grove wasn’t necessarily a miserable effort by the locals, per se, but it was far from a masterpiece.

Were it not for the clutch long-range effort of CJ Fabionar (13 points) and Isaiah Conlan (9), the Blue Devils would’ve easily been put away by 20-plus. Instead, Davis got punked, 76-59, before roughly 300 fans at the Thundering Herd’s Bill Cartwright Gymnasium.

“We dropped the ball in this one,” Fabionar said afterwards. “We came in coming off two really close losses to two good teams, and it was just a rough game.”

If the dice fall as they did in the first half of league, Davis needs to beat Sheldon tonight to ensure a tie for fourth place.

Junior forward Skylar Schouten summed it up.

“Big game,” she said.

“Feeling good, we only lost by one last time ... I think we can do it. And we’re at home now, in our gym.”

Last time around, the Huskies nipped the Blue Crew in Sacramento, 47-46, in a physical match that

Giving gimmicky XFL 1 year T

ell me if you’ve heard this story before.

There is a new professional football league beginning play this week with teams in eight major American cities playing a 10-game schedule leading to a nonSuper Bowl championship game.

And they’re going to make so many changes to the rules that the game will be virtually unrecognizable as “real” football.

I give it a year. One and done. Here today, gone tomorrow.

No, I’m not talking about the now defunct Alliance of American Football, folded up like a warm tortilla barely halfway through its first season.

When the AAF issued an overly excited press release about all its improvements to the beloved game of football, a negative-minded columnist (see photo above) noted “What the story failed to say is that not only will 2019 be the first season of the Alliance of American Football, it will also be the last.”

That one sentence brought a wave of condemnation from

football fanatics all over the country, some willing to bet large sums of money that the AAF was here to stay.

One chap named Paul, address unknown, wrote to say, “You’re really wrong on this one. Your opinion is uniformed. That is a major problem in this country. People who think they can speak authoritatively on subjects they have no information about. You think it will last only one year? What research did you do?”

My research, Paul, was watching the game of football closely over the last seven decades and realizing that, above all, people pretty much love the game the way it is. If you want to have a new

football league, forget all the gimmicky rule changes and simply play football. It’s a proven model from Pop Warner to the pros.

So now we have a nearly identical situation with the XFL, which is spitting out more meaningless trinkets than a gumball machine.

I

’m serious when I say I’d love to see a spring football league take off and be successful. I’d love to watch quality football year round.

But I want to watch pure, unadulterated football, a tried-and-true sport that doesn’t need new rules to be successful.

‘Monarchy’ goes on the road Aggie women try to extend Big West lead

BY BRUCE GALLADUET Enterprise sports editor It’s good to be queen.

After dispatching visiting UC Santa Barbara over the weekend, the UC Davis women’s basketball team has left the rest of its competition royally flushed.

That 66-63 win at The Pavilion was the Aggies’ 26th straight home-court Big West decision. It also put the locals 1½ games in front in the conference standings as Davis works to win its fourth consecutive conference crown.

Other elements of this emerging monarchy show that UCD is on a six-game BWC win streak and has now gone 59-12 (.831) in league since 2016.

Davis (11-9, 6-1) has the third-best defense (62.5 points a game) in BWC and is second in points scored (66.8).

But it’s the way these Aggies have been coming at their foes lately that has the other eight conference schools wringing their collective hands.

Despite losing preseason allBig West selection Nina Bessolo these last two months, Davis has rallied from an 0-4 start to gel at the perfect time.

It seems like everybody is contributing. An aspect of UC Davis being relentless of its pursuit of a four-peat has been depth.

Again on Saturday, nine Aggies played nine or more minutes. In swamping CSUN and breaking a first-place tie on Thursday, 10 Davis players logged at least 9 minutes on the floor.

With the halfway point of Big West play at hand when the Aggies head to UC Riverside on Thursday, UCD head coach Jennifer Gross talked a little about what’s making her crew elevate ...

“It’s great to be up top. But honestly? We know the Big West is a battle, and every team is so close (in the standings and talent) this year,” said the former Cal Aggie Athletics Hall of Fame member as a 1990s Aggie guard. “We’re happy … extremely proud of our team for getting us to this point, but we understand that every game is going to take an extreme level of focus and urgency and competitiveness.

“The exciting thing is that our team really gets that. But we don’t expect it to be easy. You have to find a way. This is the Big West.”

In Saturday’s game, it was a pair of starters who didn’t necessarily jump out of the box score who provided key moments against the Gauchos.

For example, junior Cierra Hall had “only” 4 points and six rebounds. But in the final 3 minutes of a game in which Davis had fallen behind, Hall contributed an assist, an offensive rebound, a defensive carom and a block as the Aggies roared back.

One of Hall’s assists went to Mackenzie Trpcic, the Canadianborn point guard who had “just”

3 points — all of which came Aggie cason a trey at 3:42. It was a tle’s moat.

Renewed UCD men off to Irvine

BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor This road challenge is daunting.

On Thursday, the UC Davis basketball men travel to first-place Irvine to take on the Anteaters, then head to the Inland Empire for a Saturday showdown at third-place UC Riverside.

Aggie head coach Jim Les knows what’s in store, but in last weekend’s 66-51 triumph over visiting Cal Poly, there were a handful of good indicators that UCD (3-4, 9-14) might have a thing or two up their Big West sleeves.

“Oh!” said Les with a sigh of relief. “This one we needed.”

The win snapped a three-game losing streak which included 1- and 4-point losses before getting clocked by UC Irvine.

Les said he hopes beating Cal Poly would be a confidence-builder and would further embolden the Aggies cast of younger players.

“Their attitude has been great. Their work ethic has been great,” the former Bradley coach and NBA player explained. “The film

session (last Friday) wasn’t enjoyable for them, and there are two ways to respond to that — and they responded the right way.

“They took it as ‘we’ve got to be better’ and they felt disappointed in their effort and execution, especially on the defensive end.”

The Aggie lineup got put in a shaker against the Mustangs when Les started Rogers Printup and Koehler Kennedy along with Damion Squire and freshmen Elijah Pepper and Ezra Manjon.

With veteran shooting guard Joe Mooney coming off the bench, the new look paid dividends. White-hot Manjon’s 12 points led the starters, but when Mooney scored 19 in a “reserve role,” Les may have been on to something.

Pepper, Koehler and frosh sub Ade Adebayo each added 9.

After the win, Les talked with The Enterprise about Mooney: “He could have hung his head, but he showed his true character ... He really came out with great energy and life, especially on the defensive end. I’m a firm believer that

when you make all the hustle plays, the game is going to come your way and that’s what happened with Joe tonight.”

The Aggies came into Saturday in a fourway tie for eighth place in conference. Now they’re in a tie for the fifth seed at the BWC year-end tournament at Honda Center in Anaheim.

There are nine games remaining to that March 12 gathering.

Les believes if his guys can protect The Pavilion and play gutsy defense the rest of the way, a further climb up the standings is possible.

Notes: At 14 points a game, Mooney is the No. 7 scorer in conference. Terrell Gomez of CSUN leads at 20.3 ppg. Matt Neufeld (55.2) is fifth in BWC shooting percentage. ... After Irvine at 7 p.m. Thursday (KHTK AM1140 and ESPN3), the Riverside game starts at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday (1380 AM KTKZ and ESPN3). ... An early report on Stefan Gonzalez — who sprained his ankle versus UCI — is that he’ll be ready to play this week.

SETBACK: Postseason in the balance From Page B1 anywhere than Sheldon, when it comes down to it,” the coach said.

On Monday, the Devils played The Thundering Herd (10-14, 6-2) even for one quarter in front of a sparse South Gym crowd.

But the game unraveled in the second quarter for Davis.

First, Emme Eisenman went down hard and twisted her ankle. The junior guard who leads DHS in scoring with 10.6 an outing had just recently returned from an injury to her other ankle.

“Emme’s a tough kid and she popped back up, but I could see

she was uncomfortable,” Highshoe said. “We’ll see how she feels (today), but she brings a lot for us so that was tough to lose her at that time.”

With Eisenman on the bench, the Huskies made their run.

Davis turned the ball over five consecutive times, and Sheldon took advantage, using leak-out passes to hit their sprinting guards for easy transition layups. A 10-0 Huskies run put DHS in the hole, 34-20, at intermission.

Schouten — who led the Devils with 10 points — hit back-toback jumpers to open the third quarter, but The Grove’s offense was unrelenting.

The Herd received a

Thundering Herd 57, Blue Devil girls 38 Next game:

Today vs. Sheldon, 7 p.m. game-high 15 points from Keyara McCoy, who missed the first 17 games of the season, including Elk Grove’s 49-41 win over Davis in early January.

Senior guard Rylie Hardin — who also missed the preseason and first match with DHS — added 9 points on Monday.

Senior Maya Chelini, The Herd’s leading scorer at 14.8 an outing, bucketed 13.

Elk Grove’s cadre of senior guards tore up Devil defensive

schematics all evening.

“We can play good defense,” said Schouten, smacking her fist into her palm for emphasis. “We just gotta step it up like I know we can. Defense is our offense, we just gotta get the defense in check and then the points will come.”

Notes: DHS committed 29 miscues and reached the freethrow line just nine times, despite reaching the bonus early in the second quarter. ...

Surina Beal, Caitlin McMillan and Mara Bledsoe each scored 6 points for Davis. ... Eisenman finished with 4, and Courtney Rutherford and Lily Hessl both knocked down 3-pointers.

The rules we have now are just fine.

It’s as if a new major baseball league has formed, but has decided to use a ball twice the size of the ones we’re used to and have players swing at it with a tennis racket instead of a piece of wood.

OK, if you’re sitting down, I’ll tell you about the XFL. According to their promotional literature, the XFL believes that “there is room for some tweaks” to the game of

football. “Some adjustments.

Ways to make it a bit faster.

Less stall. More ball.”

To that end, the clock will run all the time in the XFL. It won’t stop, even temporarily, after an incomplete pass or a play that goes out of bounds. In high-school football they call this “running time” and it’s instituted to get things over quickly when one team has an overwhelming lead.

Trust me, running time results in fewer plays, not more.

There will be no extra-point kicks in the XFL. Instead,

teams will have the option to go for one point, two points or — please remain seated — three points. But you have to either run or pass.

You can have the ball spotted at the 2-yard-line (one point), the 5-yard-line (two points) or the 10-yard-line (three points).

I am not making this up.

As for overtime, each team will have five opportunities to convert a two-point conversion.

Insiders say there will be 44 players on the field during the overtime session, 22 on one end and 22 on the other end.

One offense will run a play, then all eyes shift to the other end of the field as the opposing offense runs a play. Back and forth it goes until each team has exhausted all given opportunities.

If it’s still tied after all that, everyone in attendance gets free beer at Buffalo Wild Wings.

The XFL, coming soon to a giant screen near you. Catch it while you can.

Don’t put your feet up Dear Annie: I often see kids in the passenger seat with their feet on the dashboard.

This is incredibly dangerous. In a low-impact crash that does not signal air bag deployment, this body position has moved the seat belt, assuming it’s being used, off the waist and onto the abdomen, and near the throat. Worse, though, is the knees are in completely the wrong orientation to flex and move with the force of the crash.

Air bags deploy beginning with moderate crashes, defined as hitting a parked car at about 20 mph. In other words, almost every crash deploys the air bags. An air bag deploying directly under the feet can lead to devastating, life-altering injuries to the feet, ankles, knees, hip and tendons.

An air bag system must detect a crash of enough force and then fully deploy the air bags in less than 80 milliseconds, which is less than one-tenth of one second. The fundamental point is for the head and torso to contact a fully deployed air bag (now an air pillow). Contact with the surface of an air bag that is still expanding at great speed results in facial injuries, as well as possible upper torso injuries.

In fact, on impact, the air bag is already deflating. This is why air bags are in no way an excuse to not wear seat belts, which slow your body’s forward motion until the air bag is fully inflated.

— Concerned Driver Dear Concerned Driver: Not only is putting your feet on the dashboard incredibly dangerous, as your letter points out, it’s also unattractive and bad manners. It is on the same level of rudeness with putting your feet on the table. Yuck.

——— Dear Annie: This is regarding the letters about getting teenagers to brush their teeth.

that works with teens. If possible, enlist another teen to let them know how bad their breath smells when they don’t brush — or how unpopular they will be romantically with bad breath and rotten teeth.

These kids are using not brushing as a way to maintain control. They want to watch the adults in their lives dance. The only thing that will work with them is if their friends step in with an “EWW!” Been there.

——— Dear Annie: I’m a 62-year-old woman.

Twelve months ago, at my check up, my doctor recommended that I eliminate animal products from my diet due to high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

It seemed like an insurmountable task, but my will to be healthy is bigger than that!

Now a year has passed without any meat, dairy, cheese, fish or eggs. My cholesterol dropped 160 points, my blood pressure is normal. I’m off all medications. My energy is through the roof, and I just signed up for a marathon. I am elated!

I want to be a positive influence on my friends and family members who suffer the same ailments. I love them and want them healthy, too. But they absolutely don’t want to hear about it. They seem to think my diet is crazy. It’s almost like I have a disease.

So, I continue to eat my delicious plants, grains and fruits, and try to be a good example to my friends. What can I do to positively impact my family’s health without coming off like an overbearing fanatic?

— Pass Me the Veggies Dear Veggies: Speak softly and carry a big stick of celery. Until your family is ready to hear it, the more you try to talk this up, the less they’ll listen. Rest assured that there’s no better advertisement for your new lifestyle than you: Your exuberant example will attract others to the diet far more than words ever could.

You might also try changing hearts by way of stomachs: Bring plant-based dishes to share at all family events, to show them that you’re not depriving yourself and that your new diet can be quite delicious. Thrive on.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2020

Candidates still ignore California issues S o … the Democrats held a presidential primary debate in California, in the Westchester district of Los Angeles to be specific. And still California issues get virtually no attention on the national scene.

Even now, more than a month after that debate, with ballots appearing soon in mailboxes across the state, there’s still no substantial talk about California issues except from late-coming candidate Michael Bloomberg, the former New York mayor.

Nothing much on homelessness; no creative ideas from any candidate — or from President Trump, for that matter. Nothing much on wildfire safety, other than condemnations of big privately owned utilities like Pacific Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison. No easy-tofollow formulas for buying them up and splitting them into local pieces.

Nothing on offshore oil drilling or fracking; certainly no hints on fighting off Trump administration efforts to expand both in California. Nothing on how to solve the state’s massive housing shortage and affordability crisis.

Nothing on charter schools or Trump-spurred threats to national parks and monuments.

Not a word on water or the bullet train, which will go nowhere without more federal funding.

What’s wrong here?

If there’s any real answer to the lack of attention to this one state that will choose far more Democratic nominating convention delegates than any other both in the March 3 Super Tuesday voting and during the entire primary season, it may lie in the way Democrats apportion delegates.

While Republicans employ a winner-take-all system giving almost all of every state’s delegates to whoever gets the most votes in a primary or caucus,

even if that candidate only wins a plurality, Democrats employ proportional representation.

So no one running in California’s primary — basically separate elections in each of 53 congressional districts — will get the full pot of 495 delegates.

Each district will anoint anywhere from 4 to 7 delegates, split among candidates who get at least 15 percent of the vote in a district. Another 114 delegates go mainly to the overall statewide winner.

f all of California’s Democratic delegates went to that overall winner rather than getting splintered, maybe the likes of Sens. Warren and Bernard Sanders, ex-Vice President Joe Biden and former Mayors Bloomberg and Pete Buttegieg would be forced to learn about the many issues now shaping lives in California.

But today’s Democratic system doesn’t require this from them.

Yes, they’ve become conversant with local candidates and issues in Iowa and New Hampshire, where the earliest votes and caucuses might provide momentum

going into Super Tuesday states like California and Texas.

The Democrats crafted their system almost 20 years ago.

They wanted to prevent anyone from getting all of California’s delegates — or any other state’s — with a mere 25 percent or so of the votes but still beating out competitors who finish barely a percent or two behind in the total vote.

That leaves candidates open to damaging gaffes, like Sanders’ now-revoked endorsement of a far-left candidate in the race to replace Democratic Rep. Katie Hill in the 25th Congressional District stretching from Simi Valley into the High Desert of Los Angeles County. Yes, Cenk Uygur agreed with Sanders on most things, but the podcaster and former conservative has a history of homophobic and sexist rants.

Sanders’ California staff advised him not to endorse, but he did anyway and ran into a buzz saw, then withdrew the endorsement after barely a day.

Would this have happened if Sanders had studied California issues and knew how strong the

LETTERS Measure G As a parent of two children who attend Davis public schools and as a local educator, I strongly support Measure G. Teachers are grossly underpaid for the value they bring to our society. The state of California needs to re-examine priorities and fund education, including teacher salaries, at a much higher level.

The Davis community cannot wait until education funding is fixed at the state level. By voting yes and passing Measure G we have the opportunity to show our local educators and support staff that we recognize and value their contributions to our schools and community. Other communities in California are also turning to parcel taxes to increase teacher compensation because it is faster and more effective to do this at the local level. Piedmont passed a teacher compensation parcel tax in November 2019 and Berkeley and Alameda will also be voting on teacher compensation parcel taxes this March.

The passage of Measure G is necessary to improve our ability to recruit and retain high quality teachers which all of the children in this community deserve. Please join me in voting yes on Measure G. Petrina Jonas Chávez Elementary

Another option In the article “Options on Homelessness,” one option not listed was Family Promise. This national program assists local houses of worship to join together to house a small group of homeless. Functioning programs are in Sacramento and Modesto. This program has a high rate of successfully placing homeless in permanent housing.

The program first obtains commitment from 12 houses of worship, each agreeing to house up to a maximum of 4 families (up to 14 total individuals) for a week each.

During their hosting week, each house of worship provides host volunteers. Each day, different volunteers prepare breakfast, assist with school lunch prep for children, prepare and serve dinners, and stay overnight.

Here are some unique key elements to this program’s success. (1) A rigorous screening eliminates those on drug or alcohol dependencies. (2) Each family (singleor dual-parent households are acceptable) must be actively searching for housing and, if unemployed, a job. (3) One house of worship hosts the program’s nursery (for families with pre-schoolers), and provides office space to headquarter the program.

(4) During their family’s stay, all income, except for a small allowance, is voluntarily surrendered to program management, and

is placed into a bank account for the family (this vital step allows their savings account to grow so the family can pay first and last month’s rent and a security deposit when they locate a place to rent). (5) Beds and clean linens are provided for each family member by the host facility (in our experience, roll-away beds were transported from one host facility to the next each weekend, with congregants providing the linens).

The program also encourages partnerships between houses of worship if neither has sufficient manpower or space to singly host families. Our Modesto church partnered with another to provide the evening meals. Twice during the week we hosted the families, as they didn’t have adequate facilities and we didn’t have enough volunteers to provide a week’s worth of dinners.

Would Family Promise work here in Davis?

Support for Jim Provenza I’m writing this letter in support of Jim Provenza and his bid to be re-elected as our Yolo County Supervisor, District 4.

Throughout his tenure, Jim has been a staunch advocate for at-risk children and an ally to community organizations that support families in crisis.

As a volunteer for our county’s youngest, most vulnerable children and their families, I’ve seen firsthand the tremendous impact Jim’s efforts have had in our community. He has championed progressive policies and programs that focus on providing vital services to keep children safe and struggling families intact and growing stronger.

And that’s not the only way that Jim has made a difference. His decisions on the board have consistently supported groups within our community who sometimes struggle to be heard — the elderly, the homeless, and those battling drug addiction or mental illness. He has worked

Vote for a unifier The California Presidential Primary Election is upon us. I urge my fellow Democrats to be guided less by passion and pie-in-the-sky promises than by coolheaded common sense, critical reasoning and strategic thinking when casting your ballot.

I urge you to vote for a candidate other than Bernie Sanders. Why? Bernie is a polarizing figure, a divider, not a unifier.

He lacks the capacity to bring us together.

The GOP has amassed a large opposition research file against Bernie, an avowed socialist, so he’s extremely vulnerable to attack. As more of this information is released, it will render him unelectable no matter his opponent. Bernie’s glaring negatives — demagoguery, ego, hostility and misogyny — are too off-putting to too many people.

Bernie is unwell. Recently he suffered a myocardial infarction but won’t disclose his medical records.

But the biggest reason to vote against Bernie is the fact that he is compromised and supported by Russia. Greg Olear, the author of “Dirty Rubles: An Introduction to Trump/Russia,” reminds us that as a young man, Bernie bought into Stalinist propaganda and for years extolled the virtues of the USSR. You can Google a 1988 YouTube of Bernie, drunk and shirtless, singing with his comrades in a hot tub in Russia, where he honeymooned.

Bernie’s chief campaign strategist in

2016, Tad Devine, worked with Paul Manafort in Ukraine on behalf of Russia. Devine is mentioned 16 times in the Mueller Report. Speaking of the Mueller Report, it states that in 2016, Russians used social media apps to boost Sanders and hurt HRC. Russians amplified and bolstered his campaign, split the Dem vote, and continue to do so today. Bernie has never disavowed his Kremlin support; in fact, he counts on it.

Unsurprisingly, Bernie has proven to be a dependable “no” vote against Russian sanctions, and shockingly, was one of only two Senators in 2012 to vote against the Magnitsky Act. We are under attack in a cyberwar.

Powerful forces seek to destroy our democracy and divide us even further. Let’s choose a patriotic unifier who can win in the general, not another Kremlin apologist, as our nominee.

Abramson for supervisor I must say, I am so excited to see youth among the crowd stepping up to take on an important leadership role in our county government. I’m referring to David Abramson, who is running for Yolo County Board of Supervisors.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing David personally since 2013 through community service roles like being on staff for the wellloved and highly acclaimed Whole Earth Festival (which takes place on UC Davis campus every Mother’s Day weekend). In all of these years, I’ve never seen anything but model citizenship come from my fellow peer and I’m thrilled more than ever to see him working on a local level to make our beloved region even better than before.

David has taken on a keen interest in critical matters that affect every Davis resident (and presumably all of the greater Yolo County area) such as the housing/ rental crisis, local food, transportation and the Local Green New Deal platform. You won’t even see any of his campaign lawn signs out and about (though they be stunningly beautiful) because of his mindfulness around the use of plastic and non-renewables.

Thank you to David Abramson and all of his campaign helpers who are so endearingly committed to manifesting all of that which goes on behind the scenes … I feel more optimistic about government and the political arena than I have in many years, knowing that young people like you are willing to carry the torch on behalf of all of us local residents.

May we arrive at a bright future ahead, together. Vote in David Abramson for Yolo County Board of Supervisors! I know I will.

LGBT and feminist movements are here?

Instead, Sanders, like every other national candidate this year except Bloomberg, has viewed California almost entirely as a cash register, some candidates — like Buttegieg — even going to great lengths to conceal the luxury of several fundraising venues.

Will this all add up to yet another failed effort to give California more influence in choosing presidents by moving the primary ahead from its traditional June date? It’s too early to tell. For one thing, Bloomberg is concentrating time and money here heavily, hoping to make up for his late start by doing well here. Plus, if the very early smallstate primaries yield contradictory results, California can still be a bellwether.

Culinary showpiece for winter evening C

assoulet is a French bean-and-meat farmhouse dish perfect for a winter meal.

There are fast cassoulets (1½ hours) and slow cassoulets (five hours). If you are eager to make a cassoulet, give this slow one a try. It’s easy and the flavor is deep and foresty, which is what makes cassoulet a much-beloved French classic.

Long eager to make a cassoulet — I recently did.

I chose a recipe from Kate Hill’s book, “Cassoulet, A French Obsession” (Rancho Gordo New World Specialty Food – 2015).

Hill’s recipe is in the Toulouse style, the city where her cooking school resides.

After researching many recipes, I recommend either Hill’s book, or “French Beans: Exploring the Bean Cuisine of France “ (Rancho Gordo Press, 2018) by Georgeanne Brennan. Rancho Gordo sells them in separate gift packs with packages of beans.

I don’t have the beautiful traditional clay vessel for cooking, the “cassole,” however, my enameled 5½-quart Le Creuset Dutch oven worked fine. If you can’t go to France to get a real one, try mail ordering one from France. Paula Wolfert’s book, “The Cooking of Southwest France” (2005 edition) has the information.

Poterie Not Frères, near the village of Mas-SaintesPuelles in the Carcassonne district, is still making them the traditional way.

You can also order a newer, California model in the French tradition from Crockett Pottery, where ceramicist Kathy Kearns has been making them in her studio down the road in Crockett, for many years.

For a cassoulet, there are four main steps: cooking the beans; preparing the meat; building the cassoulet; cooking and serving the cassoulet. The three main ingredients are: beans; bones/meat and broth. Our producers and ranchers in the Sacramento Valley region raise most of the ingredients called for right here, including the duck. So in that sense, cassoulet becomes a place based dish for us as well.

Perhaps you will, like I did recently, indulge yourself this winter with a day at home to cook. Invite a few friends — host a Valentine’s Day dinner party with this quintessential

French culinary dish as your masterpiece. Only you need to know how simple it really is.

Sourcing ingredients: Beans. It’s all about the beans (well, OK, it’s about the broth, too — and the various parts of the pig added to the broth to give it that creamy taste.) You will need large or mediumsized, dried white beans.

Don’t use navy or lima beans.

Rancho Gordo in Napa (or via mail order) has beans packaged as cassoulet beans (which I used), and tarbais and lingot beans. Great northern, white kidney, and cannellini beans (all available in bulk at the Davis Food Co-op) are fine. Nugget Markets have packets of great northern as well as Rancho Gordo’s Cassoulet beans.

Bones/meat. Pig’s feet, ham hocks and hambone — Frozen pig’s feet and ham hocks are available from Pasture 42 at the Davis Farmers Market (call ahead), also from Skyelark Ranch (smoked ham hocks).

Nugget Markets has pig’s feet with a call a day ahead, and both they and The Davis Food Co-op have smoked ham hocks.

Ask either of their butchers for hambones. Manas Ranch Custom Meat Market (Highway 16 en route Esparto) has unsmoked ham hocks, and with a call ahead, may have some bones or pig’s feet for you.

Pancetta. The French call it ventrèche. You can add to it salt pork and pork rind (if you can find it, I didn’t use it.) Specialorder pork belly (one day in advance from Nugget, skin off ) or find it at Davis Farmers Market (Pasture 42, Skyelark Ranch) to make your own pancetta (see my recipe in the Davis Farmers Market Cookbook or on my website.)

Manas Ranch has salt pork, and thick slab pancetta. The co-op has pancetta; Nugget Markets has thick slab and cubed pancetta. I used the last of my homemade pancetta; time to make more.

Sausage. French-style (very few spices, pork, in a casing). Davis Food Co-op

ANN EVANS/COURTESY PHOTO

Classic Cassoulet. has house made French sausage (which I used). In a pinch you can use mild Italian — which both the co-op and Nugget Markets have. Hill’s recipe called for Toulouse sausage. I couldn’t find it.

Duck. You can use legs or confit (duck meat preserved with herbs after cooking in duck fat) or whole duck. I bought fresh duck legs and duck fat from Nugget Markets.

If you call one day in advance, Nugget will special-order duck confit for you. Nugget Markets’ Muscovy duck and confit is from Grimaud Farms in Woodland. Davis Food Co-op has frozen duck.

Broth. Makes itself as the beans cook in water, with herbs and vegetables, pancetta and bones. I used herbs from my garden. Do not add a commercial broth.

Classic Cassoulet Recipe adapted from Kate Hill’s recipe in “Cassoulet, A French Obsession.” Serves at least 10.

Gather the ingredients

the day before you cook.

Soak the beans the night before. Serve with salad and artisan bread, such as Casey Hardy’s new rustic bread at Upper Crust Bakery. Casey just returned from working in bakeries in France and is developing a few new recipes for Upper Crust Bakery in Davis.

Cooking the beans: 2.2 pounds dried white beans (rehydrated by soaking several hours in water, or bringing to a boil and letting sit one hour — save the soaking water for making broth) 1 carrot (peeled and left whole) 1 yellow onion (peeled and left whole) 4 whole cloves (studded into the onion) 1 bouquet garni (made of bay leaves, a rosemary sprig, thyme sprigs, Italian parsley) 2 to 4 large garlic cloves, unpeeled “1 teaspoon black peppercorns, whole or cracked 1 in thick slice of ventrèche, pancetta or salt pork 1 ham hock, ham bone or pig’s foot (I used a pig’s foot and a ham hock) Putting it together: Place all ingredients in a large stockpot (I used my 5.5 quart Le Creuset enamel Dutch oven). Cover with 2 to 3 quarts of water (using bean soaking liquid – I used 2 quarts not 3.)

Do not add salt.

Bring the pot to a boil.

Reduce the heat and simmer for 45 to 60 minutes or until both beans and

broth are done. (I cooked them about 1.25 hours.)

The beans will be cooked and barely tender. The liquid will taste delicious enough to eat immediately.

Remove from the heat and set aside.

Preparing the meat: Prepare the meat while the beans are cooking. If you have purchased duck confit, scrape off most of the softened fat from the surface. In either case, brown the duck in a skillet, using duck fat, skin side only. Remove. Add the sausages and brown.

They don’t need to be fully cooked, as they will continue to cook in the cassoulet.

enough beans to make a thick layer into your cassole/Dutch oven (about one third of the beans). Place the duck on top. Add another layer of beans. Place the sausage on top, and then finish with the final layer of beans. Stud the top of the cassoulet with slabs of pork belly so they slowly baste the top crust and get crackling crisp (if you are using — I chopped the pancetta and put it here).

Add just enough bean stock to the cassole/ Dutch oven to barely cover the beans. Any remaining broth should be saved for basting, if needed, (I had one cup left — I added it into the cassoulet leftovers the next day.)

Building the cassoulet: Remove the beans, broth and bones, meat and seasoning from the pan, if you will be using that same pan to cook the cassoulet in. Place the beans in a bowl. Slice the ventrèche or pancetta into cubes. (I saved these for the top of the final cassoulet.) Chop the onion, carrot and rind (if using) into small bean-size pieces and return to the beans, along with any ham or hock meat. Gently stir together without breaking up the beans.

Taste and adjust the seasoning of the broth and the beans. You can add a little salt, but the sausage and confit (if using) will add salt, too. Some more black pepper.

Using a large slotted spoon or ladle, transfer

Cooking the cassoulet: Heat the oven to 300 degrees. Slip the cassole/ Dutch oven into the hot oven and let the cassoulet bake, slowly, approximately 3 hours (I cooked it 3½ hours). It is done after 1½ to 2 hours, but cooking it longer allows the crust to form on top. The surface should be dry and crisp.

When done, serve straight from oven to table. So, time yourself from the dinner bell and work backward.

Note: If you have to, you can crank the oven up to 475 degrees and push the time to a quick 1½ hours, but there is a magic that happens as the bean starch and meat proteins bind slowly in the herbscented broth. This may be lost in the fast cooking method.

Poetry night returns Special to The Enterprise The Poetry Night Reading Series will feature Julia Levine and Susan Browne at 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 6, at the John Natsoulas Gallery, 521 First St. in Davis.

B8 THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2020

NorCal features veteran Aggies Solid hitting corps could be team key

and her talented crew, the loss of Yanez doesn’t matter. Don’t even bring it up.

But no, Yanez’s departure couldn’t be ignored — and besides, doesn’t her leaving serve as rallying point for the Aggies?

“Potentially, but when you’re in this position I don’t think the team really knows how to react to that,” Thorpe told The Enterprise.

“It honestly hasn’t been brought up. Nobody’s talked about it ... and it’s something in our sport, unfortunately, that happens all too often.

“From a coaching perspective, it’s like ‘OK, this is what our team is now,’ and we’re really not looking back on anything.”

What Thorpe’s team is now is a squad loaded with high-average hitters, a solid defense and a pitching staff that is a balance of veterans and promising newcomers.

Leading the parade in the circle is former Vacaville High superstar Katie Kibby. The righthander went 12-4 in 2019, she carded a 3.17 earned run average with 53 strikeouts in just over 100 innings. While her strikeouts

BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor When the NorCal Kickoff opens Thursday, of the eight softball schools involved it is co-host UC Davis which has the most experienced roster.

It is the Aggies who have a wealth of offensive potential. It is the locals who sport five all-Big West from its 2019 club; a team that went 39-14 — UCD’s best Division I-era record.

But it’s also the Aggies who take the diamond at La Rue Field on Thursday at 11:30 a.m. versus St. Mary’s dragging the elephant into the room.

After two knockout seasons in which she won 40 games and made second-team All-American, pitcher Brooke Yanez transferred to Oregon.

For UCD coach Erin Thorpe

Katie Kibby, a senior pitcher for UC Davis, is expected to be the club’s No. 1 starter as the Aggies’ 2020 season gets underway Thursday at 11:30 a.m. in a showdown with St. Mary’s at La Rue Field.

The NorCal Kickoff is an eight-school tournament hosted by UCD and Sacramento State. It runs through Sunday.

should go up, the Aggies feel her ERA is headed down.

“Katie is going to bring a ton of experience,” says Thorpe. “She has the potential to leave here as the winningest pitcher in our D-I history, which is pretty cool.

“Then we have Taliyah Miles, a left-handed power pitcher who we’re hopeful will come in and give us a different look.”

Local fans will remember the Delaware State transfer Miles from her lights-out days at Sheldon High.

Two freshmen — also from local schools — join the Aggies this spring.

Taylor Fitzgerald (Rocklin High) and Kenedi Brown (a former Sheldon teammate of Miles’) are on staff and, according to Thorpe, should see action immediately on opening weekend.

“We’re very excited,” Thorpe continues. “This is going to be a great opportunity for (the freshmen) to get thrown right into the action.”

Losing only two starters — fifth-year senior infielder Alex Sotomayer and slugger Meghan Brabury (nine home runs and 41 runs batted in) — the coach loves her 2020 lineup.

In the outfield will be Alyse Rojas (.348) and Marisa Given (.329). Shortstop Isabella Leon and first baseman Maddie Rojas each hit .299 and can corral the ball.

Riley Siegel returns behind the plate and Megan Bower, primarily a designated hitter a year ago, brings power that saw her swat five round-trippers in 2019.

With seven former prepsters from the Sacramento area, the Aggies should be a good fan draw.

In addition to the NorCal Kickoff, Davis hosts the Capital Classic beginning Feb. 28, then sees Sacramento State at La Rue Field on March 3.

Pacific will be in town (March 10) and Cal State Bakersfield visits for a five-game series (March 14-16).

Two Pac-12 schools also dot the schedule: Cal is in Davis on April 1 and Washington hits town on April 16. Big West play begins

Now in her sixth year at the Aggie helm, head coach Erin Thorpe hits infield during morning workout at La Rue Field on Tuesday.

Thorpe likes what she sees in her veteran squad. On opening day Thursday, UCD’s doubleheader includes St. Mary’s (11:30 a.m.) and Cal Baptist at 2 p.m.

Davis also meets Boise State (2 p.m., Friday), Santa Clara on Saturday at 2 p.m., then concludes tourney play Sunday against Idaho State (11:30 a.m.).

March 28 at Cal Poly with UC Santa Barbara opening home conference play for the Aggies on April 3.

So why come out to the ballpark this weekend?

“It’s a great environment at La Rue,” points out the coach, whose new digs got a complete facelift before the 2019 season. “Our sport is booming, it’s a fast-paced game, you’ve got the music, the sun — and this is going to be a great-weather weekend.

“Just getting out here to have a good time watching and supporting your Aggies ... It means a great deal to the girls to have fans out here, cheering them on.”

Sacramento State will bring action to their facility. ... Veteran Aggie Frankie Menodoza is injured and out for the season, according to Thorpe. ... One more thought about the veteran-laden Aggie squad: “It’s funny because two years ago this discussion was completely different,” Thorpe remembers. “We were talking about how we have so much youth and how that team was going to be so young on the field.

Fast forward two years and all that youth is now juniors and seniors.”

record to 13-8, the Devils’ 2-6 Delta League résumé puts the Blue Crew two games behind Jesuit (4-3) for the conference’s fourth-and-final playoff berth. Four contests remain, including a pair this week, with DHS set to hit the road to take on Sheldon (6-1) tonight and host Franklin (3-4) Friday.

Despite what’s now a three-game losing skid, Davis’ strength-of-schedule has kept the Devils ranked among MaxPreps top teams in the Sac-Joaquin Section.

They now sit at No. 10 following Monday’s loss.

“We started out 11-0 and that kind of put a target on our backs,” Fabionar added. “Now the season’s winding down and teams are coming for us.

“So if we want to make a playoff push, we’re gonna have to bring it every single game no matter what.”

DHS had the upper hand first Monday night, as Shiya Solodoff, Collin Yee and Jackson Isidor registered early buckets. But it wasn’t long before Elk Grove’s sophomore sergeant of scoring, Ameere Britton, got the hot hand.

Scoring 8 of his game-high 24 points during the second period, Britton couldn’t miss, as the Thundering Herd took a 38-22 halftime lead and never looked back.

Despite netting 10 3-point field goals, the Devils couldn’t buy a bucket in the paint and were outrebounded by the Herd the entire ballgame. DHS visited the free-throw line a season-low five times, sinking just three tries.

Fabionar said keeping focused, despite the numbers on the scoreboard, is key for the

Thundering Herd 76, Blue Devil boys 59 Next game:

Today at Sheldon, 7 p.m. unit moving forward.

“Just because we’re tired doesn’t mean we can (let up),” the 6-foot-4 senior added.

Sheldon Huskies (19-4, 6-1) scouting report: In their last meeting against the Blue Devils, the Huskies topped DHS by 13 points. Since, they’ve been upset by Cosumnes Oaks, 74-70, ending a multiyear streak of undefeated league campaigns.

Coming off a 65-48 victory over No. 2 Jesuit, the top-ranked school in the section will now have Arizona State commit Marcus Bagley back at full strength. Recovering from an ankle injury when he faced off with the Devils at DHS last month, he was held to just 8 points.

The 6-8 power forward is now averaging upwards of 22 points and eight rebounds per game.

Sheldon has not dropped a game to the Devils since joining the Delta League in 2014.

Notes: Cody Taylor scored 8 points for DHS Monday, while birthday boy Joey Asta had 7. Yee and Ryan Hakl closed the night out with 4 apiece, while The Herd’s Aaron Gillyard tossed in a career-high 22. ... In JV action, Elk Grove won, 69-65. ...

Entering tonight’s contest Joey Asta (9.5) and Ryan Hakl (9.1) are the Devils’ leading scorers. Asta’s 8.1 rebounding average also tops the DHS charts.

GIVING: Davis High sports benefit From Page B1 remains in place, too.

“Those are two big fundraisers that help drive our abilities to get these grants out to the programs,” Gladding explains.

Tax-deductible donations can also be made online at the group’s website: bluedevilboosters.org (under the membership tab).

Last year, DBDAB awarded the athletic department a grant to

purchase automated cameras for Brown Stadium and both the Devil gyms.

Now, all sporting events at the venues can be streamed online via the NFHS Network.

The backers also have provided funds for a public-address system for the DHS swim team at Arroyo Pool, as well as a new digital scorers table for the basketball and volleyball programs.

“One of our goals is to help teams narrow their

existing financial gaps,” Gladding adds. “And by helping with the purchase of technology-based equipment we’re hoping to allow teams to be more competitive by letting them train using modern technology.

Here’s a recap of recent local business highlights Want to know what businesses are coming and going in Davis? Check out this column, which runs every other Sunday in The Enterprise. he future of Cost Plus World Market is in limbo.

Employees say the store is closing as early as July, to accommodate the rebuild of University Mall. The store is at 871 Russell Blvd. The mall’s owner, Brixmor Property Group, plans to demolish the mall and replace it with a seven-story development of retail and apartments called University Commons. The only mall tenant that would not be affected is Trader Joe’s.

Meanwhile, the store in Elk Grove announced its closure, effective last week.

With the company struggling, will it return after the remodel? It doesn’t look promising. A company spokeswoman said she was unable to confirm plans for the Davis store.

Newly open: Cajun Feast is open at 206 Third St. It describes its fare as Cajun and Asian fusion, with breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.

In December, Sudwerk Brewing Co. reopened its kitchen and started serving snacks and simple entrees. Meanwhile, its banquet room was fixed up and rebranded as a beer hall, with lounge areas and screen. It’s all through the brewery’s taproom, The Dock, 2001 Second St. The 120-suite Residence Inn by Marriott hotel is scheduled to open in March at 4647 Fermi Place. The all-suite hotel is designed for stays of five nights or more.

Tim’s Hawaiian BBQ is open at 247 Third St. It features Hawaiian plate lunches and bowls, and other fried and barbecued food.

See’s Candies now has a permanent storefront in Davis. It’s in The Marketplace, 1411 W. Covell Blvd., Suite 117, next to GNC. Armadillo Music launched its beer bar, The Bootleg, in November. The record store is at 207 F St. Sutter Health Walk-In Care Clinic is open at 4647 Second St., Suite 130, near Target. Hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. Walk-in care is available to those 18 months and older. Patients do not need to be a Sutter client; all pay a $129 office visit.

UCD study: Apartment vacancy tight, rental rates up

F

ew city of Davis apartments are vacant and rental rates are up, according to a survey commissioned by the most recent Student Housing and Dining Services at UC Davis and released Feb., 2019. Similar surveys have been conducted on an annual, or biennial basis, since at least 1975.

The blended vacancy rate — including apartments leased by the unit and by the bed — is estimated to be 0.5 percent, compared with 0.3 percent in fall 2017.

Rents increased by an average of 6.5 percent.

The report on the 43rd vacancy- and rental-rate survey, designed to provide the campus and surrounding communities with information to support planning, comes as UCD is constructing more student housing on campus and working to address the issue of the affordability of student housing more broadly.

According to the fall survey, 30 apartments, or 0.4 percent, of 7,073 leased by unit were vacant, compared with 0.2 percent vacant the prior year.

Among the 1,204 units leased by the bed rather than the unit as a whole, 28, or 0.7 percent, of the 3,955 beds were vacant. The prior year, 1.6 percent of beds in this type of unit were vacant.

In response to a new question, the survey found that on average most unit types have at least one bedroom with double occupancy.

Rental rates Most survey respondents reported static or increasing rents. For the first time since 2014, however, some complexes reported lowering rents to fill vacancies: four complexes lowered rents across the board and two on just some of their units.

The average monthly rent for unit-leased apartments of all sizes was up 8.5 percent, from $1,673 the prior year to $1,815. The average monthly rental rate for a bed lease was up 6.9 percent, from $892 in fall 2017 to $954.

The survey also reports on the provision of incentives and move-in specials as well as utilities, appliances, amenities and parking.

A total of 109 apartment complexes and property management companies representing 8,658 rental units responded to the survey. Only the 8,277 marketrate units were included in the report’s calculations.

A rendering of Yosemite Hall at UC Davis.

From Page 6 UC Davis, which guarantees housing to new freshman and transfer students, is in the midst of its most ambitious period of planning and construction for additional student housing.

In a memorandum of understanding with the city of Davis and Yolo County, the campus agreed in September 2018 to increase the number of on-campus beds available to students, starting with the Long Range Development Plan baseline of 9,818 in 2016-17 and building to at least 15,000 beds by fall 2023. Beds number 10,486 this academic year. In addition, the campus committed to providing housing to cover new enrollment in excess of that projected in the LRDP. Among projects that will add campus housing:

West Village adds 3,300 beds in the next, phase by 2021.

Q In fall 2019, the new Yosemite Hall (formerly Webster Hall) reopened with 400 beds after a 2017-19 renovation.

Q Also in the fall, the opening of a new dining commons in the Tercero Area will allow for future growth and greater flexibility to triple freshman beds when needed.

Q In January of 2019, construction began on the West Village expansion project to provide room for 1,000 beds for 2020 and an additional 2,300 beds in 2021, in apartments for transfer students and continuing undergraduates.

Q The Emerson Hall project began last summer with the goal of opening a year early in fall 2021 with 800 residence hall beds for new freshman students.

Q The campus is working on the planning, design and financing for the Orchard Park redevelopment project to house students with families and graduate students.
