Bicycle Commission back in the saddle BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer The city’s Bicycling, Transportation and Street Safety Commission may be back to full strength sooner than expected. The City Council on Tuesday will make appointments to the BTSSC as well as the Natural Resources, Police Accountability and Tree commissions. The bicycling commission ended up without enough members to form a quorum last month after resignations and a twomonth suspension of one commissioner resulted in what was expected to be just three members for the months of February and March. February’s commission meeting was cancelled as a result. But on Tuesday the council will choose four new BTSSC commissioners from a pool of seven applicants — three who had previously applied and four new applicants — to bring the commission back to its full strength of seven members and one alternate. The council will also appoint two new members and an alternate to the Tree

UC students living in some of the country’s most expensive housing markets say they cannot afford to live on their current salaries. “The majority of our pay goes to just trying to have a shelter over us,” said Beshara Kehdi, a Ph.D. student at UC Davis. “We are fighting for a decent kind of living.”
In a letter to UC Labor Relations director Peter Chester, union executives said “skyrocketing rents” coupled with California’s failure to pass rent-control legislation had pushed students to a breaking point. “We believe the circumstances have changed to such a degree as to

USC puts a price tag on integrity It’s a bit like refusing W to answer the hat, you may ask, is a football story doing in a column on Page A2? Well, this is really a story about one institution of higher learning’s treatment of another institution of higher learning, with the scheduling of a college football game as the center of attention. Nowhere in what follows will you find the final score of a football game or details of how the final score was reached, because no football game was played. So, last week we learned that the University of Southern California Trojans are too high and mighty to stoop to the level of the UC Davis Aggies. It’s their loss. As you may have heard, USC Athletic Director Mike Bohn pulled the plug on the UCD-USC football game that was scheduled to open the 2021 season at one of the nation’s most storied venues, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Bohn basically said it was time to stop the mutiny among USC’s well-heeled boosters who reacted with overwhelming negativity when the game was first announced last July. Now it’s one thing to politely decline to play an opponent in the first place, but once the deal has been made and the contract signed, it’s a bit like refusing to answer the doorbell when the dinner guests you invited have arrived at your home. The official reason, and I believe
doorbell when the dinner guests you invited have arrived at your home.
it’s true, is that USC has never, ever, ever, not once, not even in its worst dreams, stooped so low as to play a team from the Football Championship Subdivision to which UC Davis belongs. Said Bohn, as if this were the greatest day in his life, “I’m happy to tell you that we have informed UC Davis that we intend to cancel that game.” He could have “regretted” to inform us of this change in plans that ruined UC Davis’ day, but no, he was “happy” about it. “When I arrived, I committed to listening and learning, and the feedback from our fans was clear,” Bohn added. “Preserving our history is critically important to us and our fans, so we worked to make that happen.” Part of that cherished history, of course, is that USC was at the center of the recent college admissions scandal, where spots in the freshman class were sold to the highest bidder with the best ficticious résumé. “I think it was clear,” Bohn went on, clearly on a roll.
“Our fans didn’t like it and our fans recognize that we’re one of only three institutions never to have played a team at that level, and I think that says a lot about USC and our commitment to wanting to make sure that our fans see viable games and ensure that they have a great experience watching those games.” A team “at that level?” What on earth is Bohn implying other than UC Davis is an inferior opponent for the all-powerful Trojans? I guess Ken O’Brien never played at UC Davis. Nor did Chris Petersen — a man USC desperately tried to hire as its head football coach a few years back. Hard to believe someone “at that level” could ever have the smarts to actually coach the Trojans.
S
ure, UC Davis will still receive the $725,000 check it was guaranteed when the game was scheduled, but that’s chump change compared to the stain that playing this game would have left on USC’s legacy. But here’s the really goofy part to this story, one that even Bohn
will have a hard time explaining to Trojan Nation. Remember his words about “viable games” and wishing to ensure that USC fans will have a “great experience” watching the Trojans play? So which viable opponent that would give the fans a great experience did Bohn go out and schedule before the UCD contract had even hit the shredder? Was it Ohio State or Michigan or Clemson or Oklahoma? Maybe Penn State or LSU? Well, actually, it was San Jose State, the sputtering Spartans who in the 2018 season opener on their home turf were drubbed into submission by those same UC Davis Aggies that USC followers regard so disparagingly. San Jose State is a program on life support. Calling the Spartans a viable opponent that will ensure a great experience for USC fans would be considered perjury if spoken under oath. Bohn may have had contact with the folks at Stanford before cancelling the UC Davis game and been reminded of that stunning 20-17 Aggie victory over the Cardinal back in 2005. For as onerous as it was for USC to schedule UC Davis in the first place, there could be only one thing worse. And that, dear friends, would be losing to the Aggies. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

Barbara Joy Langer passed away in West Sacramento on Saturday, Feb. 15, 2020, at the age of 73. Born in Connecticut and raised in New York (Manhattan and upstate), she was the child of Rulka and Olgierd Langer, who both emigrated to the United States following Germany’s World War II invasion of Poland. She is survived by her husband, Barry Melton, her two sons, Kingsley (Jenny) and Kyle, and two grandchildren, Thomas and Conor. After briefly attending the University of Chicago, she left for San Francisco, quickly becoming friends with many rock ’n’ roll icons of the time. Those friendships led to her meeting, being courted by, and marrying Barry Melton, lead guitarist for Country Joe and the Fish. Inspired by the many friends she lost to alcohol and drugs, she went back to school to become
a marriage and family therapist, graduating summa cum laude from UC Berkeley. She worked locally for many years at Yolo Hospice and the Woodland Youth Services group home. Joy, the name she used during the ’60s and early ’70s, was the very archetype of the hippie/counterculture movement. She practiced and professed peace, loved others unconditionally, and remained loyal to her friends, family and ideals. She was a loving wife and mother that gave selflessly to all those in her life. She will be dearly missed by many. Her family would like to thank friends, family, and the team at Yolo Hospice for helping provide the very best and most peaceful passing anyone could hope for. Friends and family are invited to a celebration of life at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, March 29, at the Odd Fellows Hall, 415 Second St., in downtown Davis.
Henry Rudolph Spoto Dec. 2, 1931 — Feb. 12, 2020
Henry Spoto Jr., born Dec. 2, 1931, in Yuba City, passed away Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2020, in El Macero. After graduating from Sutter High School, he wanted to see the world, so Henry enlisted in the Navy and was stationed in Guam and the Philippines among other locations. Following his tour of duty, he went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in business accounting at Chico State University in 1959. He was a member of the Lambda Pi fraternity. Henry started working at Caltrans in Marysville as a right-of-way agent, and then was promoted to the District 1 office in Eureka. A few years later, he transferred to Caltrans headquarters in Sacramento and moved his family to Davis. After retiring from Caltrans in 1991, Henry didn’t just roll into the golden years. He became an independent review appraiser. He loved this second career and consulted for many public agencies in California. He was so good at his work, he became one of the leading review appraisers in the State of California and continued this through his 88th birthday. One of his favorite pastimes was joking with his many friends and colleagues at each agency.
When he wasn’t working, he enjoyed tennis, travel and winemaking. Because of his proximity to Napa, his winemaking skills excelled in Davis and he began to make extraordinary wines. Every year, he would compete at the Home Winemaking Competition in Napa, which was a breeding ground for-up-andcoming wineries. His wines did very well, winning first and second place and taking Best of Show in 2003. He was featured in the June 30, 2003, issue of Wine Spectator for his accomplishments in winemaking. Henry is survived by his wife of 63 years, Lenore Roberta Spoto. He loved his sons, Gary Phillip Spoto (Susan) and Stuart Craig Spoto (Christiane). He adored and was incredibly proud of his three granddaughters, Arianna Spoto, Alexi Spoto and Alana Spoto. He has two siblings, William Paul Spoto, Sr. (Leita) and Mary Rose Duchow. In celebration of his life, a memorial will begin at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 26, at the Davis Cemetery, 820 Pole Line Road in Davis. In lieu of flowers, a remembrance in Henry’s name may be made to UC Regents — Tuscano Research Fund (https://give.ucdavis.edu/CCAD/HOTJ401).

his grandchildren. He is so loved and so will be so missed. In lieu of flowers please donate to h t t p : / /d o n a t e 3 . cancer.org
Sara (Sally) J. Maness Jan. 9, 1924 — Feb. 16, 2020
On Sunday, Feb. 16, Sara (Sally) J. Maness passed away at the age of 96. Born to William and Mable Roberts on Jan. 9, 1924, in Boise, Idaho, she was the loving wife of her predeceased husband Jim Maness. She is survived by daughter Sandy Parker and son Steven Maness. Her love of music led her down the path of belonging to several bands, playing at many retirement communities and at the Yolo County Fair. Jim and Sally worked
at farming in Southeast Oregon. Later in retirement, they spread the joy of music from the Northwest to Southern Texas. She was known for her infectious smile and laugh and her ability to keep the family running smoothly. She will be sorely missed by the family and everyone who knew her. No services are planned. If you should decide to make a donation, please submit it to Yolo Hospice or the hospice of your choice.
Things just aren’t the way they used to be. Whatever happened to businesses that were eager to please? Well, there is one right here in our town. We offer the same outstanding service offered decades ago. Are we hopelessly out-of-style? We certainly hope so.

Noted architect/urban planner Joe Minicozzi will speak in Davis at 11:30 a.m. Monday, Feb. 24, in the Davis Community Chambers, 23 Russell Boulevard. His nationally popular “Dollars and Sense” presentation will draw upon data gathered from cities across the U.S. to illustrate how land use decisions impact the municipal bottom line. Minicozzi came to Davis 5 years ago as the first speaker for the Davis Futures Forum, presenting his newly created visual tools to clarify the complex relationship between where and how a city grows and its municipal budget. Since that time, he has developed more data and more tools, presenting to audiences as diverse as the American Planning Association, the International Association of Assessing Officers, the International Downtown Association and the Urban Land Institute as well as multiple individual cities Minicozzi sees cities as municipal corporations that must balance revenues

Joe Minicozzi will present his urban-planning ideas on Monday at City Hall. and expenditures, just like private or nonprofit corporations. He identifies land as the municipal corporations’ raw material. The city’s investment portfolio consists of tax producing land uses. The income from these properties finances a portfolio of infrastructure, i.e. parks, roads, sewer, water, transit lines, and services (police, fire, schools, etc.) He gathers property tax data from county assessor’s offices and local sales tax revenues, keeping specific property information confidential. This data is
illustrated on a GIS map that allows even a novice to identify the highest tax generating districts in a community. In most communities, the highest revenue-generating district turns out to be a walkable, mixed-use downtown.
Form Based Code Following Minicozzi’s visit five years ago, Davis city leaders determined that downtown Davis would be an important place to accommodate, and encourage future growth. This resulted in a strategy to
increase downtown development through the application of a Form Based Code, a new planning approach that simplifies our previously complex and often conflicting development codes and processes. Developers who comply with the requirements of the new code will be able to move through the process much more quickly and at considerably less expense. After more than two years of resident input, the city’s consultant for the orm Based Code and the council-appointed Downtown Davis Planning Advisory Committee have almost completed their work. The final product will be reviewed by the City Council in the near future. Following his talk, Minicozzi will respond to questions. Organizers expect he will also be available to continue conversations with participants over lunch. His next stop is Benicia, where he will give a keynote talk on Monday. Feb. 24.

Valley Clean Energy adds more solar power Special to The Enterprise The Valley Clean Energy Alliance’s board of directors voted Thursday, Feb. 13, to purchase 50 megawatts of renewable power from a new solar park in Kings County. The power from the park will replace current short-term power contracts allowing VCE to deliver higher levels of renewable power at competitive prices. VCE’s 15-year contract with Aquamarine Westside, LLC, CIM Group’s solar project, will begin when the project enters commercial operation, anticipated in 2021. The Aquamarine project is in Westlands Solar Park, a 21,000-acre, master-planned clean energy park with more than 2 gigawatts of solar production potential.
“Valley Clean Energy is pleased to have CIM Group’s Aquamarine project as a new, long-term partner,” said Don Saylor, a Yolo County supervisor and VCE board chair. “This solar project is a win-win enterprise, generating cost-effective renewable power on brownfield land that is unusable for agriculture due to excess salt accumulation in the soil.” The Aquamarine project was selected via a solicitation process in which dozens of projects competed. The decision was based on criteria adopted by the VCE board designed to select cost-effective Californiabased renewable projects that minimize impacts on prime farmland and avoid environmentally protected species and habitat. Westlands Solar Park scored well
on these criteria and has strong support from both agricultural and environmental organizations. “We considered location, sensitivity to impacts on land and the environment, development progress, renewable technology and economics in making our choice,” Saylor said. In addition to this first 50 MW, Saylor said the VCE board looks forward to contracting for additional energy in the near future. He added that VCE is actively taking steps with multiple renewable power producers to procure 75 percent renewable energy by 2022. “Each move we make toward ‘greening’ our power portfolio with costeffective, clean sources is a step toward a better energy future for our planet,” added Dan Carson, a Davis City Council member and VCE board vice chair.

WEITZEL: Changes for Avid Reader, Zen Toro, Toro Bravo From Page A1 and, finally, law. The Arnolds are “thrilled to be taking over the reins of such a beloved local business.” Long-term staff members remain as well. Knickerbocker and her then-husband Stan Forbes purchased another bookstore, Orpheus, 33 years ago in downtown Davis. The Avid Reader has been at 617 Second St. for 30 years. Forbes still owns the Sacramento store, at 1945 Broadway. Knickerbocker said she feels “very fortunate — and the community is very fortunate” that The Avid Reader landed in such good hands. She said the transition is going well. She’s been stopping in for “some procedural issues” and is thrilled by the Arnolds’ enthusiasm. The Arnolds are already ordering new books and toys, and have ideas for new directions for the store without straying too far from its history, she said. According to the Davis Dirt, the Arnolds plan to expand the bookstore’s programs, adding more lectures, readings and book clubs. Meanwhile, Knickerbocker is settling into retirement and adding more volunteer activities to her schedule. ———— Some changes are coming to Davis Commons, but we’ll have to be patient to learn the details from owner and manager Fulcrum Property. I spoke Thursday with Sarah Barkawi, vice president of marketing for Fulcrum. The vegan eatery The Burger Patch is still coming soon, and there are “some really exciting other prospective tenants” too. Though she wouldn’t disclose who or even what type of business those were, she confirmed it did not involve the Whole Foods space. “There’s nothing that I can share but I can promise you that I follow closely the dialogue that’s happening,” Barkawi said, mentioning she reads the banter on the Comings & Goings Facebook page. “We are working on many things that involve reactivating the entire center.” The center, at 500 First St., has several vacant spaces. Its two anchor tenants, Whole Foods and The Gap, are gone. Recent closures include Pluto’s, Bath & Body Works and Solomon’s Deli. “The retail climate is tough right now,” she said. “And the Davis market is tricky.” Its most successful tenant, Mikuni, recently moved to The Gap’s former
space, increasing its capacity. When Davis Commons opened in 1997, it had the popular Borders Books & Music (later filled by Whole Foods), several eateries like Pluto’s, and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. It was a family and community gathering place. Barkawi says they’re working to bring back that vibe. Fulcrum is fixing up the lawn and adding some fire pits to make the space more event-friendly. They’re working with Davis Live Music Collective to bring back Music on the Green free concerts, and working with FIT House for a free outdoor yoga class. Look for those by midsummer, she said. “With such a cool space like that, we want people to come out and stay (like they used to). … It creates a sense of community.” ———— The Japanese bistro Zen Toro is changing hands soon. The restaurant is at 132 E St., Suite 100, in Mansion Square. In 2015, Scott and Amy Nishiyama purchased the business from Scott’s parents, Masahide and Masako Nishiyama. “We haven’t had a single vacation in five years, since my in-laws retired,” Amy said. They recently sold the restaurant to siblings Kate Kim and Hwang Su Kim. The family previously owned Sushi Unlimited but were forced to close it due to a family emergency in South Korea. They plan to “keep everything the same,” and will train under Scott for two months, ensuring that the recipes and service continue in the same tradition. Amy said the new owners “are familiar with the quality of the food and the standard, and really, really want to make it work.” Zen Toro began in downtown Sacramento in 2001. The Davis location opened in 2006, and the Sacramento restaurant closed a year later. Amy said they are looking forward to some time off. She and Scott plan to move to Las Vegas to be near family. She tears up talking about their loyal customers “for all of the years of support and making us feel like family.” She recalled children she met as babies who are now bringing in their dates, ordering their own sashimi platters. “It’s really sad to go, we just have to look at other things in our life. We appreciate all of the love and support over the years, and the friendships we made.” The restaurant will

MARCH: Student union draws national support From Page A1
Cruz be fired or denied positions next quarter.
necessitate immediate bargaining over this important issue,” UAW 2865 president Kavitha Iyengar wrote. Union leaders at UC Davis demanded a salary increase of $1,550, the amount they say is needed to keep student workers from spending more than 30 percent of their income on rent. Teaching assistants at UC Davis currently earn $2,350 per month for a half-time appointment, without the option of working more hours and often without employment for three months during the summer. “I’m very concerned that graduate students who are already rent-burdened are going to have to leave grad school,” said Thomas Hintze, a UC Davis Ph.D. student and the northern vice president of UAW 2865. “The university needs to find a way to come to the table and bargain with us over these issues.” The movement for a costof-living adjustment began last quarter at UC Santa Cruz. Since December, UCSC teaching assistants have refused to submit grades for undergraduate courses they taught last quarter, totaling about 12,000 missing grades, according to a spokesperson for the striking students. Two weeks ago, roughly half of UCSC’s 800 teaching assistants began a general strike, stopping all teaching and grading. “We have the capacity to bring this university to a grinding halt,” the UC Santa Cruz COLA campaign said in a statement last week. The action, called a wildcat strike, violates a nostrikes clause in the student employees’ contract, which runs through 2022, and has not been formally approved by a vote of union members.
More than 60 percent of UC Davis teaching assistants who responded to an online poll over the past several days reportedly said they are open to going on a grading strike if demands for a COLA for UC graduate student workers are not met. Later on Friday, Napolitano issued a statement following an invitation she made the same day to meet with leaders of the UC Graduate and Professional Council (UCGPC). CALEB HAMPTON/ENTERPRISE PHOTO
UC Davis student demonstrators rally on campus Friday to demand new negotiations with UC administrators. The university responded to the strike with force, bringing law enforcement officers from across the state to police the picket line at UC Santa Cruz, where hundreds of students and faculty gathered over the past two weeks.
they risk being fired if they fail to return to work. “Participation in the wildcat strike will have consequences, up to and including termination of existing employment at the University,” Napolitano said in the email.
Last week, police arrested 17 students, including one from UC Davis, who were blocking an intersection and ignored orders to disperse. The students were charged with unlawful assembly, obstructing a public roadway and disobeying a lawful order. They were released later the same day and suspended from campus property for two weeks.
The same day, UC Santa Cruz Executive Vice Chancellor Lori Kletzer sent an email to teaching assistants, warning them they will be stripped of spring quarter employment offers if they fail to submit fall grades by Feb. 22. The Santa Cruz students doubled down on their demand for a cost-ofliving-adjustment and said they will continue to strike until the demand is met.
Police officers allegedly struck multiple students with batons and hospitalized another student, who was diagnosed with a concussion at the campus health center, according to a spokesperson for the UC Santa Cruz COLA campaign.
The collective action at Santa Cruz, and the university’s violent crackdown, has made national headlines and drawn support from students, faculty and public figures around the world. Earlier this week, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders tweeted his support for the Santa Cruz students.
On Feb. 14, UC President Janet Napolitano sent an email telling hundreds of graduate student employees
“UCSC grad students are fighting to have their labor
right acknowledged,” Sanders tweeted, linking to a National Public Radio story about the strike. “I strongly urge the president of the UC system to stop threatening them.” More than 2,000 faculty from around the world signed a pledge of solidarity with the student workers and of noncooperation with UC Santa Cruz, promising not to plan or attend events at the campus until the UC system “provides a more equitable standard of living.” Thousands of people have donated to a fundraiser for the student workers, raising more than $100,000. Scores of UC Davis students marched to the Mrak Hall administrative building Friday afternoon, capping a week of events organized by the UC Davis COLA campaign. As the grade submission deadline set by Santa Cruz administrators neared on Friday, hundreds of teaching assistants at UC Davis pledged to withhold winter quarter grades should graduate student workers at UC Santa
“I have invited leaders of the UC Graduate and Professional Council to join me for a meeting to discuss issues of importance and impact to graduate students, including cost of living, housing, mental health, training and mentoring, career placement and childcare, among others,” Napolitano stated. Leaders of the COLA movement and UAW 2865 executives condemned Napolitano’s decision to address her invitation to UCGPC rather than to the union or to student workers involved with the COLA movement. “UC administrators are fully aware that only the union can bargain a legally binding contract that will make progress for student-workers and hold the University accountable,” UAW 2865 president Kavitha Iyengar said in a statement. On Saturday, UCGPC declined Napolitano’s offer to meet. “We are not and cannot be the organization that negotiates the compensation of graduate and professional students,” the council told Napolitano. — Reach Caleb Hampton at champton@ davisenterprise.net.

Reading Michelle Obama, I think of Trump A
s I admitted in a recent column, I have a terrible memory for what I read. Sometimes I wonder if I should bother reading at all, because I forget the plot, the characters and sometimes the whole point of a book. But I never seriously consider not reading because I get something from what I read, not always what I expect. What did I learn from a book I finished two months ago, “Becoming,” Michelle Obama’s popular autobiography? First, I learned that the former First Lady is a good storyteller. The story of the evening when she and Barack got engaged is particularly droll. I love the way Michelle gets all riled up during dinner at a fancy restaurant, spewing lawyerly arguments in favor of marriage because Barack has led her to believe he is obstinately opposed. The waiter brings dessert, and when he lifts the cover, Michelle finds a box containing an engagement ring, a scene so romantic it made me tearful. ———— Michelle may not have read Barack’s marriage intentions correctly, but she’s good at knowing what interests an ordinary reader about the extraordinary
position of being president or first lady. For example, she knows how curious I am about the Secret Service. From the moment the Obamas became our first African-American presidential family, I worried intensely about the possibility of assassination. I felt almost physically ill when I saw them stand in front of a crowd of 200,000 on the night Obama was elected. Turns out, bullet-proof glass screens were protecting them, and that was only the beginning. Michelle soon learned that her husband would have a “helicopter ready to evacuate him, that sharpshooters would position themselves on rooftops along the routes he traveled, that a personal physician would always be with him in case of a medical problem, (and) that the vehicle he rode in contained a store of blood of the appropriate type in case he ever needed a transfusion.”
Being protected became a huge part of Michelle’s life, and she chafed against it, yearning for freedom. She devotes gleeful pages to the night she and Malia snuck out of the White House to join a gay rights celebration on the lawn. “It had taken us 10 minutes to get our of our own home, but we’d done it,” she crows. Passages where Michelle longs for a more normal, anonymous life are among the many places in the book when I thought about differences from our current president. I’m sure that Secret Service attention to Donald Trump’s survival every moment of every day pleases him immensely. Would it ever occur to him to wish for less importance, less fuss? ———— Finally, Michelle’s book made me aware that what she seeks in life is similar to what I seek in life. She wants to be a good person, which includes, first and foremost, striving to be a good parent, but also involves looking for ways to help others, to land as often as possible on the side of good. With each job she takes, she moves further from corporate law and towards communitydirected work.
She makes me remember that as a child reading and rereading “Little Women,” I wished fervently to be like Beth, the sister who was unselfishly good. I believed at the time that everyone strives to be good, maybe because my mother took me to church where they said that’s what you should do. Michelle’s experience was similar: her effort at virtue began in childhood and continued when she assumed her role as first lady. When it came to remodeling the family quarters of the White House, for example, Michelle tells us that the Obamas paid with their own money saved from Barack’s book royalties. Nowadays, without a second thought, Trump makes us pay for innumerable visits for him and his cohorts to his pricy resorts. And that, of course, is just a minor part of what our current president costs us. Michelle writes, “Part of our role, as we understood it, was to model reason, compassion, and consistency … When I could, I tried to highlight the efforts of relief workers, educators or community volunteers — anyone who gave more when things got rough.”
Despite Trump’s feigned nods to Christianity, an urge to be virtuous plays no part in his character. This contrast leaves me dazed and confused. If so many Americans loved the Obamas and embraced their effort to be a principled first family, why do almost as many Americans now support Trump? Do Americans prefer a deceitful president who does what they want — for example, reduce immigration — to a principled one who might hold differing views? In the 2016 election, did Americans abandon the desire for an ethical president, or did they get snowed by TV star Donald and turned off by Hillary, who some saw as equally corrupt? If ethics have become less important to Americans, both personally and in who we elect, is this change temporary or permanent? I wonder how Michelle Obama would answer that question. I wonder how we, in the next election, will answer it, too. — Marion Franck has lived in Davis for more than 40 years. Reach her at marionf2@gmail. com.
There are many ways to help keep children safe BY JENNIFER THAYER Special to The Enterprise
E
very child deserves a safe and loving place to be and the Yolo Crisis Nursery provides just that. The Yolo Crisis Nursery has made a positive change in the lives of over 5,000 children and families since opening our doors in 2001. We work to prevent child abuse and neglect while helping parents resolve the crises that brought them to the Nursery. The impact of these services on local children, families and our community are best understood through our clients’ stories, such as Megan’s. Megan managed to keep her family together and her 2 and 4 year old children safe by living with her mother. When her mother unexpectedly passed away, Megan’s life slowly and steadily spiraled out of control. Without her mother, Megan was unable to pay the rent by herself, and she soon lost their home, leaving her and her children homeless. Pregnant, and with her young children in tow, Megan couch-surfed at friends’ homes for a while. To make matters even worse, unanticipated car
YOLO CRISIS NURSERY repairs began to wear her down, and Megan sank into a deep depression. Fortunately, this young, pregnant Yolo County mom found her way to the Yolo Crisis Nursery. The Nursery wrapped Megan and her children with loving care from the moment they arrived. “We cared for the kids day and night for eight days, while Megan received in-patient medical care,” said Heather Sleuter, executive director of the Yolo Crisis Nursery. “Our focus was to get Mom healthy and reduce the traumatic experiences for her children.” After her treatments, we helped Megan find a new home. The children continued to visit the Nursery by day and spend the night in their new home. While in our care, the staff cared for the children with special attention to the lingering effects of the trauma from their grandmother’s death, their homelessness, the approaching birth of their new sibling, and their mother’s depression. After getting settled into her new home, the Nursery staff helped Megan

In the coming weeks, the children will be welcomed back to the Nursery when Megan gives birth to her third child. “The Nursery is like family to me,” said Megan, “I don’t know where we would be without you.” “This family really illustrates why we exist,” says Heather Sleuter. “If a parent’s problems keep escalating, we aim to intervene and de-escalate the crisis, providing support so the family can remain intact
and the kids suffer as little trauma as possible.” Ninety-eight percent of families served by the Yolo Crisis Nursery do not enter the child welfare system. That figure is a key measure of the success of two of the Nursery’s signature programs: emergency/ respite care for children and wrap-around services for parents. But the stories like Megan’s behind the numbers are why we are here. “We know that preventing children from separating from their parents is
best whenever possible,” Heather emphasizes. “We want to protect kids not only from physical harm but from toxic stress as well.” The Yolo Crisis Nursery’s emergency respite care is funded by the generosity of our community. It is because of this support from individuals, organizations, foundations, and businesses that we are here today to help families like Megan’s and others like them. As the mother of two young girls myself, I cannot
imagine being in Megan’s situation and it’s reassuring to know that there are many ways to help at-risk families with young children in our community. You can volunteer to hold babies, make a financial contribution, or join the Friends of the Yolo Crisis Nursery. I invite you to visit www. yolocrisisnursery.org to donate, get involved, or to learn more about how you can help. — Jennifer Thayer is a Yolo Crisis Nursery board member.

You can use AquaHawk to find water leaks How to check for leaks E Y
our city of Davis water service includes access to AquaHawk, an online water use portal where you can monitor your daily and hourly water usage and set up alerts for potential water leaks and high water use. There are currently more than 4,100 users registered for AquaHawk. If you are not already registered, visit Save DavisWater.org for registration information. AquaHawk is available not only to single-family residential properties in Davis, but to commercial and multi-family properties as well. For customers with multiple water meters on a property or that have multiple accounts to manage, you can view all of your accounts or meters under one main account registration. See the instructional PDF at SaveDavisWater. org on Working with Multiple Accounts and Meters for information on registering multiple accounts, switching between multiple meters or accounts, or removing an account. Reading water usage in
NVIRONMENTAL UPDATE
AquaHawk: When you first login to AquaHawk, you will see a bar graph with your water usage over the last 365 days. You can change this view to show different periods of time (last 24 hours, 48 hours, 30 days, etc.). You can even enter a specific date to view hourly water usage for that date. Click on any bar of daily usage on the graph to view the hourly water usage for that day. It is important to note that while you can see the amount of water you use on an hour-byhour basis, the data is not realtime. Data is transmitted to the portal four times a day, and there is an approximately six- to 12-hour lag time before those reads are available in AquaHawk. If you see light blue bars on the graph instead of the typical darker blue bars, this indicates “spanning,” a period of time
when the meter is taking reads, but isn’t able to report them. Once the meter starts reporting again, AquaHawk takes the total read for that time period and “spans” or averages the data over the missing time intervals. Using AquaHawk to detect leaks: AquaHawk is more than just a way to see how much water you use on an hourly or daily basis. You can also use it to assist in locating potential water leaks. The first step to finding potential water leaks using AquaHawk is to look for signs of continuous water use. Look on your water use graph for signs of continuous water usage throughout the night. Single-family homes typically will have some hours where no water is being used, especially during the night.
If you see continuous water use in AquaHawk, check appliances and fixtures around your home and property. After making any changes or repairs, check the next day in AquaHawk to see if nighttime water use drops to zero.
Toilets: Toilet leaks are the most common leak in the home. Listen for running toilets and check for silent flapper leaks: remove the lid from the toilet tank, place 2-3 drops of food coloring in the tank, and leave it for 15 minutes. If you see color appear in the toilet bowl, you may have a leak and need to replace the flapper. Faucets and showerheads: Check that showerheads and faucets are tightened and not dripping. Pools and spas: Check that autofills on pools and spas do not have any cracks or other damage causing them to fill more than needed. Check auto and manual fills for malfunctions. A hissing noise could indicate a malfunction. Irrigation: Look for wet or spongy areas in landscape that might indicate a leak. Inspect your irrigation system for any broken or clogged sprinkler heads. Check any drip irrigation for holes in the line or missing or
broken emitters. During the winter, turn irrigation off at both the timer and the isolation valves. Water softener: Inspect the brine drain pipe, usually located from the water softener to the drain at the laundry. If water is running, shift the by-pass valve to the off position and inspect the drain again. If water has stopped, consult with a water softener repair company. Other Indoor Leaks: Check that under-sink, reverse-osmosis units are operating correctly. Check for hot water leaks in slab foundations by looking at increases in natural gas bills and checking for warm spots on the floor.

COMMISSION: FUNDRAISING: Davis Odd Fellows host event Meeting Tuesday From Page A1
From Page A1 Commission and new alternates to both the Natural Resources and Police Accountability Commission. The appointments follow a recruiting process that got underway in January. The council subcommittee on commissions — made up of Mayor Brett Lee and Councilman Lucas Frerichs — interviewed the new applicants and has made recommendations to the full council.
Rental resources Also on Tuesday, the council will consider updating the city’s rental resources ordinance. The ordinance was first enacted in 2017, implementing a rental education, registration and inspection program aimed primarily at protecting renters in singlefamily homes who might otherwise put up with substandard conditions given the city’s low vacancy rate. As Councilman Lucas Frerichs noted at the time, “We think it’s quite likely … that because of the (rental) vacancy rate ostensibly being 0-percent, if a tenant is having an issue, they’re not going to complain about it for fear of losing their housing.” Under the program, landlords in Davis are required to register their properties on an annual basis and every time a lease turns over, landlords and tenants are required to carry out a rental inspection using a checklist provided by the city. The ordinance also required that absentee landlords designate a local contact person who lives within 50 miles of Davis. Most significant, perhaps, was the audit program created, allowing the city to use trained building inspectors to check single-family rental homes. A set number of properties were to be ran-
domly audited each year, and residents can submit formal complaints to the city as well to solicit an audit. “The program was intended to preserve and enhance the quality of life for residents, as well as the neighborhoods in which they reside,” city staff note in a report prepared for Tuesday’s meeting. Last year council members requested updates to the ordinance which they will consider Tuesday. Those updates include new sections addressing tenant harassment and a 60-day notice requirement before eviction of an elderly and/or disabled tenant who has lived in the rental unit for at least a year. Tuesday’s council meeting will begin with a joint discussion between council members and the Police Accountability Commission at 6 p.m. followed by the regular agenda at 7 p.m. The council meets in the community chambers of City Hall, 23 Russell Blvd. — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@ davisenterprise.net.

Retired teacher Rick Gonzales, a longtime resident of Davis and an organizer of the event, told The Enterprise that the stillrelatively new scholarship fund has the goal of creating a $100,000 endowment that will fund between three and five scholarships annually, with the scholarships being awarded to high-school students from Davis and Arbuckle “pursuing a career in law enforcement seeking to further Natalie’s ideals of excellence and service,” Gonzales said. Music at this year’s event will be provided by two ensembles — the Mike Justis Band (Justis wrote a song about Corona after she passed, and will be singing that song at the event), and Mike Blanchard and The Californios. The event will be held both upstairs and downstairs at the Davis Odd Fellows Hall, with doors opening at 6 p.m., dinner starting at 6:30 p.m., and the music starting at 7 p.m. Tickets are $50, available at the Common Grounds coffeehouse in South Davis, The Avid Reader bookshop downtown, and the Upper Crust Bakery (just north of Fifth Street on G Street),
and will also be available at the door. Tickets can also be served online at https:// www.eventbrite.com/e/ 2nd-annual-music-fornatalie-officer-coronamemorial-scholarshipfund-tickets-88071156199 Natalie Corona grew up in rural Arbuckle. Her father, Merced, was a deputy with the Colusa County Sheriff ’s Department for 26 years, and her mother is an elementary school teacher. As a high school student, Natalie Corona became Pierce High School’s homecoming queen, and went on to attend Yuba College, where she earned an associate degree in administration of justice. She then entered the Sacramento Police Academy (graduating in June 2018), and volunteered with the Davis Police Department as a part-time community services offer. In August 2018, Corona was sworn in as a Davis Police Department Officer, with her father pinning on her badge. Corona died in January 2019 while on duty in downtown Davis as a police officer. She was 22 years old. At the time, Davis police chief Darren Pytel said, “Officer Corona had an incredible work ethic, and was well liked by her colleagues ... She was an absolute star in the department and someone who pretty much every department member looked to as
a close friend, a sister.” Additional information about the scholarship program and Officer Natalie Corona can be found online at http://davislodge.org/ officer-natalie-coronaodd-fellows-memorialscholarship/ “Natalie’s parents and relatives will be present at the event,” Gonzales said. “All proceeds will to the Davis Odd Fellows Natalie Corona Scholarship Fund.” The evening will include a raffle with some 35 prizes. There will also be Natalie
Corona T-shirts (donated by the local business Ink Monkey), and bottled water with a label featuring a picture of Natalie Corona, donated by Corky Brown. Members of the Davis Fire Department are donating meat, which they will barbecue. Beer and wine (donated for the event) will also be available for purchase. — Reach Jeff Hudson at jhudson@davisenter prise.net or 530-747-8055.

UCD women alone in first place 3-time champs overcome slow start in Hawaii Enterprise staff HONOLULU — With firs place in the Big West Conference on the line, the UC Davis women’s basketball team found a way to win Saturday, topping secondplace Hawaii 65-48 to sit atop the standings alone. Katie Toole paced the Aggies (15-11 overall, 10-3 BWC) with 14 points, while teammates Evanne Turner and Ciera Hall had 13 and 11, respectively. Turner hit 3 of 4
3-point attempts for the game. UCD, the three-time defending BWC champion, got off to a rocky start, hitting just 1 of 10 from the floor. Luckily for the Aggies, they found their range and pulled within 1, 11-10, at the end of the first quarter. “We were playing OK,” UCD associate head coach Joe Teramoto said during a halftime interview with KDVS radio playby-play man Greg Wong. “We just weren’t making any baskets, which you need to do to win basketball games.” The Aggies carried their momentum into the second quarter as they went on an 11-0 run to go up 24-14 and held a 33-26 lead at halftime.
Lauren Rewers led the Rainbow Wahine (14-11, 8-4) with 17 points. Hawaii’s leading scorer Julissa Tago, who entered the game averaging 14.0 points per game, was held to 4 points. “(Tago) didn’t bring as much aggression as she has in other games,” Teramoto said. While the Aggies’ offense was running smoothly, their defense kicked into overdrive in the final quarter and held the Rainbow Wahine to 5 points. “Our communication and hustle help us (on defense),” said Turner in a postgame radio interview. UCD put up 16 points in the final stanza, including hitting 3 for 4 from behind the arc. Sage

Stobbart, Toole and Sophia Song had one trey each. For Song, it was her lone points of the entire game, but they came at key time for the Aggies. Stobbart led the Aggies with 11 rebounds, all defensive. Less than a minute into the final quarter, Hawaii’s Savannah Reier hit a 3-pointer to pull her squad within 49-46. Approximately a minute later, Song sank
her downtown offering that sparked a 10-0 run and put the end result out of question. Hawaii entered the contest trailing the Aggies by half a game with three games remaining in the regular season. The Rainbow Wahine’s last Big West title came in the 2014-15 season. The Aggies have time to recover from their Pacific jaunt as they don’t play again until Saturday when they host to UC Riverside at 2:30 p.m. The game is part of a doubleheader with the men, who face Long Beach State at 5 p.m. The Aggies finish up on the road, visiting CSUN on March 5 (7 p.m.) and Long Beach State on March 7 (4 p.m.).
Men’s streak broken
Summer Baron (3) slides one past River City goalie Hannah Wheeler for Davis High’s only score in Friday’s 2-1 girls soccer overtime loss to the Raiders. The defeat ended a run of four straight SacJoaquin Section titles for the Blue Devils.
No Aggies score in double digits Enterprise staff SANTA BARBARA — Despite the game being more competitive than the final score indicated, the UC Davis men had their Big West basketball win streak snapped when UC Santa Barbara upended the locals, 70-56, Saturday at The Events Center. The loss, after four straight wins, dropped the Aggies to 13-16 overall and 7-6 in conference. The Gauchos, in splitting the season series with UCD, are now 18-9, 7-5 in BWC play. “I just didn’t think that over the course of 40 minutes we played well enough or executed to beat a good team on the road. And that came back to bite us,” reported Davis coach Jim Les. “And give them credit because, down the stretch, they made the plays they needed to make. “We had some breakdowns that were uncharacteristic of us during this stretch.” It was the Aggies who looked like world-beaters early on. Thanks to two baskets by Elijah Pepper and 3-pointers by Rogers Printup and Damion Squire, Davis bolted to a 10-2 lead. About halfway through the first period, the Aggies were still in front, 19-13. But the UCD faucet turned off while the Gauchos opened the floodgates at the same time. An 18-2 Santa Barbara onslaught featured three buckets from Deveari Ramsey and couple of inside statements by 6-10 Spanish center Robinson Idehen. By the time Davis got its bearings again, UCSB was on top, 31-21. Aggie guard Joe Mooney’s layup and trey closed the gap to 31-26 at the break and set the stage for more comefrom-behind Davis ball ... With Ezra Manjon and Stefan Gonzalez (a 3-pointer) contributing, and by the time Squire wormed his way inside for another contested deuce, Davis was in the lead, 44-43 with 10:43 remaining. However, that would be that. Santa Barbara constructed a 7-0 run, then when Davis closed again to 60-56, the Gauchos scored the last 10 points of the night. Davis would not have a player in double digits — Squire leading the Aggie pack with 9 as Gonzalez, Pepper and Kennedy Koehler all tallied 8. The visitors were 20 of 51 (39.2 percent) from the floor, canning just 6 of 21 from beyond the arc. By comparison, UCD allowed its hosts to shoot 55.2 percent in the second half (and 49.1 overall). Santa Barbara, led by Max Heidegger’s 17 points, also found itself with a 34-28 rebound advantage. The Aggies get to take a deep breath before entertaining Long Beach State next Saturday at 5 p.m. The Davis women meet UC Riverside that afternoon (2:30 p.m.) as part of a Pavilion doubleheader.

End of an era for DHS girls No 5-peat as River City stuns Devil girls, 2-1 BY EVAN REAM Enterprise staaff writer It had to end at some point. After four straight years reigning atop the Sac-Joaquin Section, the top-seeded Davis High girls soccer team finally fell in the playoffs, losing 2-1 in the quarterfinal round to eighthseed River City on Friday afternoon at Brown Stadium. “I think (Thursday) was our first training where we had all 20 people healthy,” said DHS head coach Sara Stone. “Early on in the season, we had so many injuries so we had to use the same people and late in the year we were a little gassed. That’s what I saw (Friday). There was a little bit of fatigue, and I think that was a factor.
“River City did a good job winning balls. We weren’t first to everything. It wasn’t necessarily pretty soccer. We had good moments, but we just had the attitude of, ‘Oh, we’ll get the next one,’ and we didn’t get the next one,” she added. Though junior Summer Baron put the hosts up early after taking a feed from classmate Franny Bolivar and rounding the Raiders goalkeeper, DHS just couldn’t keep its foot on the gas as River City seemed to win almost every 50-50 ball. All the while, several Davis players were going down for extended periods of time with cramps. In the 26th minute, the Raiders (16-4-5) equalized when attacker Marwah Adbali scored on a left-footed solo effort from 20 yards out. For one of the few times all year, the equalizer didn’t come against the run of play as River City spent much of the first half peppering the Devils goal, only for goalkeeper McKenna Lutzker
to come up with three saves in the right side of the field, beat a trio of defenders, then crossed the period.

his is my sixth or seventh try to get on with this column. I’m pretty sure it lacks style. You won’t find anything clever here. Almost a week after hearing about the death of 20-year-old Evelyn Andrews, I still don’t know what to say. This I do know: To have the world cheated out of Evelyn’s presence is a step backward for us all. The Davis High graduate and softball superstar thought she might be out of the woods with her illness last fall. That tumor that was found in her chest after her junior year at DHS was on the run. But a broken nose, thanks to a bad-hop grounder while playing the sport she cherished, sent Evelyn to the hospital where a bone marrow
biopsy revealed acute myelogenous leukemia. Her second cancer in less than two years. She was a redshirt freshman at Humboldt State when the practice injury happened. And even after the daunting second diagnosis, Evelyn remained Evelyn. A friend to anyone who cared to know her, a complete delight when meeting strangers and the treasured daughter of Laura and Adam Andrews. Oh, and she was one of the finest softball players ever to wear the Blue Devil blue-andwhite ... At Davis High, Evelyn hit it out of the park on the field and in the classroom, still finding time for those who needed her. Her former prep coach Lyn Christopulos once told me how terrific Andrews was in working
with the younger girls, keeping things loose at practice and in the dugout and providing prodigious leadership by example. I first remember her name appearing in a Davis Youth Softball Association recap for our paper. She was a 10-year-old on the Bazookas smacking the ball around like a seasoned veteran. Four years later, that same youngster, now a freshman at Holmes Junior High drove in
five runs in just her second game with the DHS varsity. Her junior year saw a .420 batting average and five dingers while accounting for 50-something runs. (The honors that followed were great, but all Evelyn could tell me was how much fun she was having and how she loved her teammates and coaching staff.) A celebration of Evelyn’s life is planned today at Humboldt State. On Sunday, March 8, the Davis community will gather for a service of remembrance at the school’s North Gym to hear all the stories about the young woman who, despite the cancer, had a heart that grew with each passing day. Evelyn was someone who I

There was a real Davis High flavor to the Aggies’ identical 3-2 twin killing of North Dakota State on Saturday at Dobbins Stadium. In the first game, it was freshman Jonah Henrickson accounting for all three runs — driving in one and scoring twice — while starter Jake Spillane pitched well enough to go to 2-0 on the season. Nick Johnson earned his second save for UC Davis. In the four-game-series finale, Kyler Arenado singled home Alejandro Lara with the game’s winning run in the bottom of the ninth. But it was 3 1/3 innings of solid, twohit, scoreless relief from another former Blue Devil, freshman Zach Carrell, that kept UCD in striking distance. The lefty fanned four and walked none. Davis (5-3) travels Tuesday to Pacific (6 p.m. first pitch) before entertaining visiting Loyola Marymount in a weekend threegame set.
Ito ties record
Kelly Hebert
BOISE, Idaho — Alyssa Ito tied the school balancebeam record with a 9.925 and Gabby Landess tied her all-around career high (39.25), propelling UC Davis to a campaign-best 195.850 at the women’s gymnastics quadrangular meet at ExtraMile Arena Friday night. Host Boise State and Utah State tied for team honors at 196.800, while the game Aggies were third. Mountain Pacific Sports Federation sisters from Sacramento State were fourth (192.700). Ito’s 9.925 puts her in a four-way tie with Alexis Brown, Katy Nogaki and current teammate Kelley Hebert for the best UCD beam marks. Also in the event on Friday, Hebert made her return to action with a 9.875, Landess hit a 9.825 and freshman Rachel Schuelke added a 9.800 as the team’s leadoff hitter. UC Davis also recorded season-high team totals on floor (48.900) and vault (48.975) before finishing the meet with a 48.775 on uneven bars. The Aggies and Utah State rematch in an “Aggies vs. Aggies” meet in Logan on Friday.
STANFORD — Aggie midfielder Mar Alvear finished with a career-high four goals and added an assist while senior attacker Sorana Larson had a first-half hat trick (and an assist), but host and No. 24-ranked Stanford prevailed, 18-10, Saturday afternoon. Davis High product, freshman Alex Agnew, posted her first collegiate points with a pair of goals and an assist. UC Davis returns to action Sunday, March 1, at noon at Oregon.
Softball CATHEDRAL CITY — UC Davis upset No. 18 Missouri, 11-3, on Friday when Isabella (3 for 4 with three RBI) and Alyse Rojas (2 for 4) continued their torrid hitting at the Mary Nutter Classic. Sheldon High product Kenedi Brown earned the victory in relief of former Husky teammate Taliyah Miles. In other tournament play, the Aggies were the victims of Seattle hurler Shi Smith’s record-setting performance, losing 3-0 to the Redhawks as Smith fashioned a no-hitter while striking out a school-record 15. On Saturday, Texas A&M topped Davis, 9-5, and Wisconsin rallied against the locals to win, 9-6. Rojas collected four hits on Saturday, including a three-run homer. Davis is next at Sacramento State on Wednesday (2:30 p.m.) before the Capital Classic comes to town this weekend.
Women’s water polo IRVINE — Close. Oh, so close for the Aggie water polo women in the Kalbus Tournament at UC Irvine on Saturday. UC Davis fell to San Jose State, 11-10, in overtime, then got nipped by San Diego State, 13-10. Chloe Robinson scored four UCD goals in the first game and Noelle Wijnbelt had four in the second (and six on the day). Against the Aztecs, former Davis High standout Alyssa Lengtat scored twice. Davis plays Pacific at 9 a.m. today.

Democratic frontrunner gets it all wrong
Support Provenza
BY LLEWELLYN KING Special to The Enterprise
I
t’s hard for me to believe that Donald Trump is president. Really hard. Equally hard for me to believe that Bernie Sanders is the Democratic frontrunner, especially after the Las Vegas debate. I can take Sanders’ passion, although it’s so consuming it gets to be frightening. I can take his calling himself a democratic socialist, although I don’t know to what extent his form of socialism pits him against capitalism. Enough, I fear. Some of what Sanders had to say in Las Vegas was downright risible, or has been tried and failed, or, worse, would set in place a series of negative dynamics, damaging the country in many ways without bringing about any of the gains he wishes to achieve. Listening to him, I think, “This donkey wants his feedbag.” In his way, Sanders is as committed to conspiracy theories as is Trump. Sanders sees vast, secretive forces in fossil fuel companies, lobbyists, bankers and billionaires as being united in a scheme to keep the rest of us poor and ill-served by government. Here are three of his big fallacies: 1. Companies would be better if they were partly owned by the workers. This is real socialism and it hasn’t worked when it’s been tried. Sanders would be well-advised to read up on the history of the cooperative movement in Britain. The very first casualty would be innovation because worker governance isn’t risk-taking. I say this having been very familiar with the British coop movement and having headed a trade union local, the Newspaper Guild, in Washington. Collective decision making is not creative, risk-taking or forward-looking. 2. The technology of fracking to extract oil and natural gas from tight rock formations should be stopped in order to combat global warming. That would deal the economy a body blow while doing nothing for global warming. Carbon emissions from fossil fuels are coming down, and on the horizon is the technology of carbon capture, utilization and storage and other technological fixes for carbon emissions. Technology has enabled fracking, and technology — not cessation — will clean up emissions. 3. The current health care mess should be replaced root-and-branch by a national health system. That we need a stabilizing public option in health care is more apparent daily. But health reform needs to be introduced like good medicine, prudently with the dosage corrected in relation to the progress of the patient.
S
anders’ approach to most issues can be summed up by what author H.G. Wells, a socialist, said of playwright G.B. Shaw’s ideas. He said the trouble with Shaw, also a socialist, was that Shaw wanted to cut down the trees to erect metal sunshades. Quite so. In Las Vegas, Sanders was out to cut down every tree he could see. These included what is part of the American Dream: Anyone with pluck and hard work can improve their situation, and maybe grow rich. Sanders’ assault of Mike Bloomberg was that Bloomberg didn’t accept some mythical belief that money is inherently bad and that those who’ve made a lot of it are evil and constantly conspiring to keep the rest of us in penury — at least those who earn up to the Senate salary of $174,000 a year. The long-term evil of money isn’t in the generation that makes it, but in the families that will inherit it down through the generations, creating an oligarchy the likes of which we haven’t seen since the fall of the serf-exploiting Russian nobility. Sanders has another weakness, one shared with Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden and Amy Klobuchar: It was hugely apparent that he’s never run anything more than his Senate office. Someone should take Sanders on one side and tell him about failed experiments in worker ownership, the value of evolution over revolution, and that every American would like to be rich. — Llewellyn King is executive producer and host of “White House Chronicle” on PBS.

The March 3 primary brings an extremely important decision for voters and I encourage everyone to complete their entire ballot. Jim Provenza is seeking reelection to the Yolo County Board of Supervisors, District 4, and I endorse him for the following reasons. South Davis has been underrepresented for years and the move to district elections for City Council only intensifies this problem. Jim knows the issues and addresses the problems even when it means he must oppose strong interests. We cannot afford to lose his expertise and experience. Even on issues where the county and city differed, I could always count on Jim to be transparent and approach the issue with candor and authenticity. Like others, I’m eager to see more women in elected office, but not at the expense of someone who has served women and families so well. I ask voters to study his record because it is truly exceptional and exceeds the contributions of most elected officials, regardless of their gender. I also appreciate Jim’s support for economic development. He understands that it can be very difficult to find a good job in Davis. I was particularly impressed by his sponsorship of a Board of Supervisor’s measure that requires local public works projects to include apprenticeship programs. These programs are a path to high paying jobs in the building trades. As well, Jim works closely with local business leaders and is always responsive to their concerns. Now more than ever we need honesty, integrity and a record of success in leadership. We have all of that and more in Jim Provenza. Please join me in supporting him.

Measure G I have been a Davis resident since 1984 and I have voted yes for every parcel tax knowing good schools are the foundation of a great community. In my 28 years of experience in education, I have seen few school districts that match the commitment of Davis to its students. Davis schools are a model for why community support is needed for student success. Key to the high quality programs are the people who teach, help, and support our students. Measure G will ensure that Davis retains and attracts the best teachers and school employees. I will be voting Yes for Measure G, and, on March 4, I want to say to every student that our community believes in you. Tom Adams Trustee, DJUSD
Back Measure Q I encourage Davis community members to vote yes on Measure Q. The measure does not result in additional taxes and serves to continue a sales tax to support essential city services. As the state boasts about its budget surplus, it does not often mention the many revenues it shifted away from cities and counties over past

Buttigieg for president In my career and public service as a migrant farmworker, lawyer, administrative law judge and Davis School Board member, I have worked with many great leaders. One of those was César Chávez. I am supporting Pete Buttigieg for the office of United States president because he is a great leader and is committed to improving all aspects of our lives. He understands that the issues important to us, such as jobs, housing, health care, equality, climate change, education, immigration and criminal justice, are interrelated to a great degree and require a focused and integrated approach to find meaningful solutions. Pete has all of the qualities to be an effective leader. He is honest, ethical, respectful, intelligent, articulate, compassionate and hardworking. As a great leader, he listens to all points of views and carefully considers them to formulate his policies. In his website, PeteforAmerica.com, Pete clearly explains his vision, goals and policies on major issues. His policies are worth reading in order to understand why he is the right person to be president. Most importantly, he believes he must be accountable for results. As a leader, Pete knows that little will get done in Washington or in our states in the current environment of divisiveness in America and conflicts with our allies around the world. He understands that real change in our lives requires the building of strong political support from all of us in order to influence our elected representatives to take our challenges seriously and work together to bring effective solutions to problems. He has inspired me and is inspiring voters across the state and nation with his message of hope and respect as well as his passionate commitment to work hard on our behalf. Pete Buttigieg is the right person to lead our nation and the world in these challenging times. Please join me in voting for Pete Buttigieg for United States President in the primary on Tuesday, March 3. Jorge Carrillo Davis

Deos the best choice Linda Deos is the best choice for 4th District Supervisor: She will bring a fresh view and vision to that important body. As a woman and a member of a group which faces wide discrimination, she will listen to everyone and work to make their lives better. She is particularly interested in the needs of women and children — especially in providing more day care for working mothers, sufficient housing and services to the homeless, more affordable housing, and preserving the county’s open spaces. The present incumbent has accomplished many things, but 12 years is enough: Linda will a work just as hard for land conservation, social justice, and a green new deal. Supervisor Provenza began this campaign with almost $100,000 in the bank: a sign that he is in league with interests larger than his constituents. Linda Deos has walked her district to find out her constituents’ concerns. She will represent them and also be a voice for the voiceless. Susan Pelican Woodland
Measure G is personal Passing Measure G is very personal to me. First and foremost, my students are like my children and I want the best for them. I am a teacher of over 30 years in Davis, a K-12 student in the Davis schools, Davis is my home of 50 plus years and I have seen too many excellent teachers leave our district because of the inferior salary along with our mediocre health benefits. Two former colleagues recently left for similar reasons. They would make $14,000 to 17,000 more a year in neighboring districts and they could not afford the health benefit for their families. One teacher’s children qualified for the free and reduced lunch. The other excellent and well-liked teacher would make $17,000 more a year and pay approximately $800 less a month for their family’s health insurance. Neither of these excellent teachers could afford to stay teaching in our district after one to two years. Our children lost out on having these two extraordinary people and teachers in their lives. This is only the story of two lost teachers form our district. As Holly Istas stated in an earlier letter, “Over the next 3-7 years, DJUSD is forecasted to lose approximately 26% of current teachers and 37% of its support staff. We must do something to attract high quality staff to Davis and as I see it Measure G is an

Vote for Provenza I am delighted to write in support of Supervisor Jim Provenza. I have known Jim for a long time. He is very accessible to the residents of the county. In several incidents, I reached out to him to solve issues with the county. He contacted the right persons and resolved the issues in no time. Jim’s priorities at Yolo County include the preservation of open space and farmland in Yolo County, the protection of our water supply, and the promotion of services for children, crime victims and senior citizens. He is committed to ensuring that Yolo County delivers essential health care and effective public safety protection. Supervisor Provenza has 30 years of county and state government experience, and a long career in public interest law. For the 23 years, he has worked as a special assistant district attorney. He is also a past member of our school board. We are fortunate to have him as our supervisor. Hamza El-Nakhal Davis
Other alternatives? I’ve voted for every school tax in my 20-plus years in Davis, but I’m opposed to Measure G. Unlike prior school tax measure discussions where the school board made tough budget decisions, I’ve seen little effort by this board to prioritize and reduce expenditures before asking for new taxes. What budget adjustments would allow for a teacher pay raise within existing revenues? We’ll never know, as the board apparently never asked that question. As reported by The Enterprise on April 7, 2019, when the board was beginning its budget deliberations there was little discussion of those tradeoffs. Rather than have that necessary but difficult discussion, the board instead spent $30,000 to hire a public relations firm to poll on a new tax which holds the teacher pay raise hostage to its passage. Fortunately, there’s a different solution. Gov. Newsom’s proposed budget for the 2020-21 fiscal year gives California schools $3.8 billion in new funds. As the Enterprise noted on Feb. 5, that funding could go to teacher raises. The school board should consider doing exactly that. Randy Chinn Davis

The rewarding journey of white anti-racism BY JONATHAN LONDON Special to The Enterprise
I
t was just about 20 years ago that Dr. Jann Murray-García encouraged me to write a column for The Davis Enterprise about the role of white people in addressing issues of racism. I was honored, humbled and a bit daunted by the invitation: what could I say on this complex topic that would be valuable? As a white person, talking about race is challenging, to say the least. It can bring up defensiveness about recognizing our role in creating and benefiting from racist systems, discomfort in the prospect for giving up our race privilege, and fear of being considered a race traitor by other white people for working to confront white supremacy. But, as I wrote in my column, “Racism: What Can White People Do?”, while deeply challenging, these are exactly the actions that we need to take. This is not a quick process: it is a long but rewarding journey of a lifetime, and it is one that I have tried to pursue over these decades. In the years that followed, I was excited to develop the Just Us in Davis column with Jann. This has been a deeply meaningful experiences, and I am so appreciative of Jann and The
Enterprise for providing this opportunity. I have enjoyed the challenge of exploring the local angle on crucial topics such as affordable housing, homelessness, immigrant rights, environmental justice, white supremacist and neo-Nazi violence, the national shame and crisis that is Donald Trump, all in 800 words. And so, it is with some regret that after 20 years, I am using the column to say goodbye as I close out this chapter as a columnist for the paper. I will remain engaged in social, racial and environmental justice issues in Davis and beyond in new forms and will from time to time share this experience in a guest column in the paper. In this final column, I want to address an issue of racial and social justice at UC Davis and in higher education as a whole — something that is close to home for me as a professor and a white
man. This is an increased emphasis on ensuring that the university has a faculty with the capacities to teach and support our increasingly diverse student body in this incredibly diverse state and world. Last year, UCD piloted a hiring process in which candidates’ statements on how they contribute to diversity, equity and inclusion were used in the initial screening followed by a consideration of their full research, teaching and service records. This process resulted in the hiring of an extremely diverse range of academic superstars with the personal and professional experience, expertise and vision for using their world-class excellence to push the boundaries of knowledge and support our diverse students to follow in their footsteps. Beyond this pilot, diversity, equity and inclusion statements are being used as one voluntary criteria in all faculty hiring and professional assessment processes. This policy has been criticized by some outside and some inside UC Davis for several reasons.
Some see this as an impediment to hiring the best candidates. Some see this as imposing a political litmus test. Others see this as affront to academic freedom. I would argue that these positions are misguided.
D
iversity and excellence are not in conflict, they are mutually supportive. Embracing diversity, equity and inclusion supports excellence by encouraging creative and collaborative thinking and problemsolving on local and global challenges. Competence in working with colleagues and students from a wide range of backgrounds can build environments where everyone can develop and apply their unique talents. This approach welcomes all members of the classroom and campus community in the learning process, and directs the resources of the university into service of the larger public good. As a Land Grant institution seeking to become designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution, this is central to our mission. Embracing diversity, equity and inclusion is not a litmus test or a limitation on academic freedom: faculty remain free to think, speak, and write in ways that represent their unique —
indeed, diverse — perspectives. That said, it is appropriate to ask that as they do so, they consider the ways in which their important work can engage their diverse students and contribute to a mutually-respectful campus culture. A diverse faculty ensures that it reflects the diversity of the students and thus efforts to increase the recruitment and retention of faculty of color are important institutional goals. At the same time, asking only people of color and women to address issues of diversity subjects them to an unfair “diversity tax.” Instead, it is everyone’s responsibility to incorporate these principles into our work. It is important that we all — but especially white people — be reflective on our own privilege and the ways in which we can either reproduce injustice or support the long but necessary journey towards justice. The consideration of diversity, equity and inclusion in faculty hiring and assessment is one valuable way to pursue this goal. — Jonathan London, Ph.D., is a Davis resident and parent.

Sustainable living in and around town with Jackie Lundy
J
ackie Lundy is a longtime resident of Davis and rural Davis. She has wonderful stories about her life and commitment to value-based choices. Let’s learn more about Jackie and her interesting life. Robin: Where did you grow up? Jackie: I grew up in Palo Alto with my parents and brother. When I was young it was a rural area. Slowly but surely development encroached on our neighborhood, which became South Palo Alto. When did you first come to Davis? I came to Davis in 1971 as a junior at UC Davis after going to college in Oregon and community college in California. I got my B.A. degree and decided to leave the country. It was the Vietnam War era. I went to East Africa and worked as a tour guide. I came back to Davis because Nixon resigned and I wanted to go to grad school. How did you meet your group of friends in Davis? I met many interesting and involved people because of Isao Fujimoto. He was a professor at UCD and was well known for drawing students and locals to his home to meet and discuss the issues of the day. It was wonderful stuff in the early ’70s. I met many people at those gatherings who have become lifelong friends thanks to Isao who provided the forum. You left Davis for a position at UC Santa Cruz. Tell us about this experience. I completed my Ph.D. in economic development at
UCD. I then got a faculty position at UC Santa Cruz in 1987. I became the director of the Center for Agroecology & Sustainable Food Systems. We did research on sustainable agricultural systems. I also taught economics and environmental studies. I also became a Kellogg Fellow while at UCSC. I specialized in agricultural policy. At some point, you decided to become a single mom. Tell us about adopting and raising your girls, Maia and Jade, from different countries and five years apart. I really wanted to be a mom and decided to adopt. Maia is the oldest and I adopted her from China in 1995. It was an extensive process, but probably less difficult than it is today. Five years later, I decided to adopt another girl, this time from Vietnam. Her name is Jade. Now we had sisters. At about the same time, my mother developed Alzheimer’s and I went home to Palo Alto to take care of her. After four years, it was clear that my mom needed a higher level of care. With my brother’s help, we moved her to a care facility in Santa Rosa. I decided to move back to Davis to build a house on my farm. Fill us in on the long process of envisioning and finally building your dream house in rural Davis.

Jackie Lundy is a longtime resident of rural Davis who has committed her life to sustainable living. I always dreamed of living in a sustainable house, using sustainable practices to grow food, to live in a rural part of town and be near other local organic farmers. In 1981, I drove by a site that had a for-sale sign in front of it. It was exactly what I wanted, with a view that is undeniably beautiful. Luckily, I had listened to my brother and years earlier bought two homes in Davis. When I sold them, I made enough money for a down payment for the 40 acres. My dream house did not happen right away. In fact, I lived in a trailer on my farm for almost six years. Then I built a small house on the property. When we returned to Davis in 2007, we lived in that house until the new main house was finished. I knew that I wanted a house that was sustainably built and was situated on the property to capture the view. At one point, I built a cardboard model of the home that I wanted. I finally hired a general contractor and he made my cardboard house a reality. Now, I have my
beautiful and sustainable home. Twenty-eight years after purchasing the farm, we moved into our home.
T
he thread of sustainability runs consistently through building your house, your research, your teaching and choice of community in which to live. It also was how you decided to raise a breed of endangered dogs. Please elaborate. I decided to breed berger Picards. It is a French breed and was used as a herding dog in France. They are endangered because the breed was concentrated near Normandy, which was almost destroyed in World War II — the breed was almost wiped out. There is now an international effort to revive the Picards. I have been breeding the dogs and training them to work as herding dogs. The oldest is 9 years old. I also show them. I took one dog, Meggie, to Westminster Dog Show in New York. That was the first year that Picards could be shown there. I am no longer

training for them to be show dogs, but I continue to train them for herding. What do you like most about living in rural Davis? We live a good distance from Davis, but still near enough to easily drive the kids to school, go shopping, etc. and far enough that when we are home we feel we have really gotten away. Davis is a good place for families. I am happy with the Davis schools, especially the music program. I like that I live in a community of organic farmers. I am proud that I have been a part of the development of the Davis Food Co-op. I am glad that I have friends who are progressive
and supportive. You are going to be an empty-nester. You must be so proud of your daughters. The oldest is considering applying to the Peace Corps. Your youngest is a freshman at University of Illinois. I think that you will be busy with your dogs and horses, your house and your friends.

POEM OF THE MONTH Child Fear Sour Milk. Rotten eggs. Bumblebees. Giant women. Falling through the privy hole. The snake under the dock that bit my foot. Snapping turtles. Electric fences. Howling bears. The neighbor’s big dog that tore apart the black lamb. Oil wells. Train wheels. Dentists and doctors. Hitler and Tojo. Eye pain. School superintendent with three gold teeth. Cow’s infected udder, angry draft horse. School fire. Snake under hay bale. Life’s end. That your dead dogs won’t meet you in heaven. — Jim Harrison (1937-2016) ———— We all had childhood fears, and I shared some with the poet. Especially the privy hole; one set of grandparents was quite rural and had an outhouse. I am still somewhat frightened of snakes. Courage, to me, isn’t necessarily overcoming fears, but learning to move forward anyway, in spite of fear. And yes, the outhouse helped with that; it couldn’t be avoided, you know. I grew up reading the poems and prose of Jim Harrison, and when he died in 2016 it felt rather like losing a friend. Like Harrison, I practice Zen and study the poems of Robert Bly and Rainier Maria Rilke, among others. A nice way to get into Jim Harrison is go back and watch the film “Legends Of The Fall”; it comes from one of his novellas, and he also wrote the screenplay. — James Lee Jobe Davis Poet Laureate

Turner defends wrestling title
On Aubrey Huff & the 1st Amendment
A
It’s possible, though unlikely, that he could sue me for libel for writing this, but then he would actually have to prove in court that he’s not an idiot, and the deck’s really stacked against him here. See, because while I can go shouting from the rooftops that Aubrey Huff is an idiot or tell all my friends that Aubrey Huff is an idiot or take out space on a freeway-side billboard that says Aubrey Huff is an idiot, if The Davis Enterprise wanted to, they could not publish an article where a columnist consistently writes the statement that “Aubrey Huff is an idiot.� If so, The Davis Enterprise would be well within its rights.
ubrey Huff is an idiot. And this isn’t just about his political views, his misogynistic tweets, his “joke� about kidnapping Iranian women so they could come back to the U.S. and feed him grapes or, really, any of the dumb things he’s said in the last year or so. I mean, those things all still matter, but for someone so proAmerica, I don’t really think he has a fundamental understanding of how our constitution works. So I’ll write this again: Aubrey Huff is an idiot. I can put the above statement into print because our First Amendment protects my right to free speech (alongside religion, assembly, petition and, of course, this paper’s right to publish freely.) Because of some of the things that Huff has said over the past year or so, including criticizing the San Francisco Giants for hiring a female coach, the Giants are barring the former first baseman from their 10-year World Series anniversary. And because of that, according to Huff, the Giants are infringing upon his rights. “We live in a country that is under attack,� he wrote on Twitter. “Society is desperately trying to take away our (sic) 1st Amendment, our freedom of speech, and our freedom of political association. I’m disappointed that the Giants are so opposed to President Trump, and our constitutional rights that they’d uninvite me to my team’s reunion.� One last time: Aubrey Huff is an idiot.
Enterprise staff for his comments because he was protected under his First Amendment rights, but that’s a two-way street, because A+E also has the right to control its message ... protected under their First Amendment rights. The situation is the same with this column. If my message of the fact that Aubrey Huff is an idiot was inconsistent with the values of The Davis Enterprise, they could suspend me, fire me, not publish this column or do pretty much whatever they want, because each and every organization has the right to control its own content and reprimand those who make public statements that are inconsistent with its values. Even if I’m actually constitutionally allowed to call Aubrey Huff an idiot. Just like the San Francisco Giants can elect to not invite a former player to a party because of the series of horrible and ignorant public statements he’s made as a public figure and former representative of the club even if he’s legally allowed to say these awful things. No, his First Amendment rights aren’t under attack. The only problem is that Aubrey Huff doesn’t understand this. And that’s because Aubrey Huff is an idiot. — Evan Ream’s column publishes Sundays. Reach him at eream@ davisenterprise.net or follow him on Twitter @EvanReam
T
he First Amendment doesn’t actually work the way that Aubrey Huff thinks it does and that’s probably because Aubrey Huff is an idiot. In 2013, Phil Robertson, one of the stars of the reality TV show “Duck Dynasty� was suspended from the show for making anti-gay remarks in a GQ interview. The network that carried the show, A+E, responded to the suspension by saying, “His personal views in no way reflect those of A+E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community. The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely.� Message boards across the internet — obviously the best place to find intelligent discourse from welladjusted human beings — went on fire, crying, “but free speech!� Robertson faced no legal recourse

Davis High standout Adrienna Turner made short work of the competition en route to claiming her second consecutive Sac-Joaquin Section wrestling title at the Masters championships in the Stockton Arena on Saturday. Also stepping on the podium for DHS were Zach Brooks (4-1, third), Ethan Rosendale (6-3, sixth) and Emma Bordios (3-2, seventh). The top six wrestlers in each weight category advance to next week’s State Meet. “The team has been working really hard in the practice room, and it showed this weekend,� said Turner, who went 4-0 with three pins. “Everyone has improved throughout the year, and I am very proud and excited to go to state this year.� Turner’s lone win on points was the first time in three meets that she’s gone six minutes in a match. Brooks, who finished sixth in the Masters last year, rolled through the competition until meeting fifthranked Juan Mora of Pitman. Rosendale, the coach’s son, lost an early match and had to climb out of a 32-wrestler consolation bracket to advance to State.
Bordios also battled in the consolation bracket before dropping the final match to just miss advancing. “I’m grateful to have achieved my goals for this season, thanks to the help of my coaches, teammates and family,� Bordios said. “It has been exciting and inspiring to have watched my teammates and myself become better wrestlers.� There were more than 134 teams competing in the event. The DHS girls finished 16th, and the boys were 18th. “Every single kid that wrestled this week did great,� coach Rosendale said. “All of these kids, this is the best wrestling that I’ve seen out of them all season.� Also stepping on the mat this weekend were Josh Prudhomme (0-2), Kosta Christopulos (0-2), Noor Mashiana (1-2), Tristen Wollrich (0-2), Aaron Turner (1-2, pin), James Davis (0-2), Ethan Horowitz (2-2, pin). In addition to sending three to State, coach Rosendale is also pleased that “every single kid that wrestled this weekend will be back� at DHS next year. The State Meet runs Thursday through Saturday at the Mechanics Bank Arena in Bakersfield.

New faces could power Devils Boys lacrosse ‘beefing up’ ■ Editor’s note: This starts an Enterprise series on spring sports at Davis High School.
BY WILL WYMAN Enterprise correspondent The winter sports season has come to a close at Davis High. The success saw teams secured playoff berths, individuals advanced in wrestling and there was a buzz created for what might in store in 2021. But as the winter fade, DHS springs blossom as Blue Devil squads have finalized rosters and are ready to begin their push for postseason glory. Boys lacrosse, for example, is one of these budding teams, full of ambition and drive ... After a mediocre 2019 season in which the locals finished 6-10, the focus is on improvement and head coach Nick Juri thinks a revitalized core and an emphasis on teamwork will lead to a successful season, among other things. “(Last season) was tough. It was a struggle,” offered the candid Juri. “It was below our standards.” But fast-forward to the current lacrosse camp and the Blue Devils seem to have an eye-popping array of new and returning faces. According to Juri, Davis has

Davis High lacrosse coach Nick Juri, left, gives instruction to his 2019 Blue Devil charges. talent from cover-to-cover, especially when he talks defense. “Brothers Taylor and Jude Vaughn are going to make a big contribution,” promises the veteran coach. “And Lucas Griffiths coming back will be great because all those guys played football — we know how good the football team was. Keaton Massey, Max Villareal are going to be solid contributors on defense and then obviously there’s our goalie Mason Johnstone.” The powerful defense will be
bridged to an offense that hosts a sublime midfield line featuring Henry Schultz, Ellison Wong and Chris D’Angelo. Corbin Russo and Tanner McNamara will spearhead the Blue Devil attack up front. While many of the aforementioned names have featured on rosters past, this is the first time that the varsity squad has this group together all at once. “The Vaughns didn’t play last year,” Juri reminded The Enterprise. “Taylor hasn’t played since he was a freshman, Lucas didn’t
play last year, Mason only played half the season, Ellison had a broken leg for like the whole year. We’re getting all those guys back. And with the addition of some younger guys and some renewed energy we should be better.” Coaching this promising group with Juri are some familiar faces. Mikey Schlosser and Cliff Hu were both Devil phenoms. With Michigan standout Schlosser (DHS Class of 2013) and Lynchberg College’s Hu (Class of 2007) returning to the
program, Juri is excited about the knowledge and wisdom they bring home. “They come back to the school and are familiar with the program, it shows how much it means to them that they come back to help out,” says Juri, who adds the former teammates’ contributions go beyond sentiment. “The coaching staff is one of the — if not the — best coaching staffs in the league. (Maybe even) all of NorCal.” Juri thinks the veteran and new roster member, the staff and renewed vigor throughout the program can translate into postseason success for the lacrosse program. “A league championship is not unrealistic ... it’s gonna require a lot of work, but it’s always the goal,” he says. As far as last season’s performance is concerned, Juri is confident that it was just an anomaly: “Last year was not the standard, last year should be the exception. We definitely look to rebound and be better this season.” Another quick look at that Blue Devil roster and optimism is difficult to contain. This year will be a chance for Davis High to reestablish itself as a perennial league contender. The Blue Devils begin their season at home on March 3 at 7 p.m. versus Clayton Valley Charter. — Reach Will Wyman at wymanw26@gmail.
Life after Agnew starts for local girls Morris still points to a veteran lacrosse crew ■ Editor’s note: This starts an Enterprise series on spring sports at Davis High School.
BY OWEN YANCHER Enterprise staff writer The elephant in the room for the Davis High girls lacrosse team heading into the 2020 season is just how do the Lady Devils plan to fill the void at midfield created by Alex Agnew’s graduation. A four-year varsity starter, Agnew was the heart and soul of the squad, leading the team on draw controls, in scoring and assists. Now suiting up for the UC Davis women’s team, her 64 goals and 46 handouts last spring saw her pass former USC lacrosse star Kylie Drexel on the Devils’ all-time assists leaderboard. Agnew ended her philanthropic DHS career with 155 of those donations to teammates, garnering the 2019 Sacramento Valley Lacrosse Conference Player of the Year distinction along with All-American honors. So is anyone ready to step up and fill her shoes? Now entering her 12th season as the Blue Devils’ head coach, Jenn Morris says you can’t simply swap-andreplace when it comes to a player of Agnew’s caliber. “Her spot is going to be filled by committee,” Morris says. “At least early on.” With more than 75 percent of her lineup returning from last season’s team, 16 Devils have postseason experience, following last year’s 10-11 campaign, which saw the Devils fall to Foothill (Pleasanton) in the North Coast Section playoffs. DHS went 5-2 in league play, splitting its pair of matches with rival Oak Ridge and falling twice to Granite Bay. But with a head coaching change at GBHS and both those schools having bid adieu to stalwart senior goalkeepers (Oak Ridge’s Ashley Laing has joined forces with Agnew at UCD), the SVLC has no clear favorite. St. Francis and Christian Brothers also return teams loaded with experienced personnel. “The nice thing about having returners is that we’re

Only a sophomore, the seasoned Blue Devil, Stella Cardenas, is back to mind the Davis High goal. able to start so much further ahead of where we were at this time last season,” Morris says. “We only have five new faces on the roster, and they’re versatile (underclassmen) I knew were ready to play at this level.” Back in saddle are Sophia Young and Colette Quaas, the locals’ No. 2 and 3 scorers last spring. The duo netted 29 and 28 goals, respectively. And Meilla Blissett (20 goals), Devon Morris (18) and Amara Higgins (15) return at midfield. But coach explains it is the Devils’ defensive end that
has her most excited. Sophomore Stella Cardenas is back to mind the net with Grace Heringer, Jessie Finkelor, Amanda Berry and a healthy A.J. Zaragoza-Smith set to anchor down the defense in front of her. Davis’ top ground ball-getter, Sydney Skinner, also returns to the fold following a playoff run with the DHS girls basketball team. “Sydney’s a really big leader on defense,” Morris adds. “She’ll be someone who has the ball a lot and she’s consistently been a key player. “I really think we’ll see her emerging this junior season.” Offensively, Jillian Watkins, Lauren Lee, Riko Fujishima and Cecily Herget are all back on attack. Ella Herringer, Makena Fix and Alee Holman-Evans will be plug-and-play at midfield. Peyton Schoen and Rosie Mariano add depth to the DHS defense. Refusing to shy away from a heavyweight out-ofconference schedule, Morris has her squad set to be confronted by some of the Bay Area’s toughest schools. San Ramon Valley (March 7), Amador Valley (March 17) and Carondelet (March 18) will each visit DHS, while the Devils will hit the road to take on Justin-Siena (March 5), California High (April 1) and College Park (April 15). Two of those Devil foes — No. 13 Amador and No. 4 San Ramon Valley — ranked among California’s best teams in 2019. “Honestly, I think the schedule we had last season was harder,” Morris claims. “But SRV is probably the best team in the section, so that’s going to be a real test.” It will be a Las Lomas team that bowed out to Amador in the opening round of the NCS playoffs last May that gets first crack at the Blue Crew. DHS will host the Knights at Brown Stadium on Tuesday at 7 p.m. before Casa Grande (Petaluma) visits town for a 5:30 p.m. clash on Friday. Notes: Last spring marked the seventh straight season under former George Washington University head coach Morris that the DHS girls have reached the playoffs. Her Devil squads have won 10 or more ball games in 10 of the previous 11 seasons. ... In goal last year, Cardenas made 66 stops, splitting time with Devil keeper Sophie Purves. Skinner’s 36 ground balls collected last spring trailed only Agnew, as did her 25 caused turnovers. ... Agnew had two goals and an assist in the Aggies’ 18-10 loss to Stanford on Saturday. —Reach Owen Yancher at oyancher@davisenterprise. net or follow him via Twitter at @530athletics.

GALLAUDET: ‘(Evelyn’s) smile lit up a room’

Standing right on the 30-yard line of the football-field markings, Adbali struck her set piece well, too well for Lutzker, who got her hands on it, but couldn’t prevent the strike from hitting the back of the net for the 2-1 lead. “That’s what I told them, while I wasn’t expecting this result, I said that’s how I’ll remember this group, responding the way that they did and recognizing that we’re not in the shadow of that previous group anymore,” Stone said. “We represented ourselves, and got the No. 1 seed. I think they overcame a lot and should be proud. Unfortunately, it’s hard right now because I don’t feel like they think they got beat and that’s the game. “Overall, there’s so much to be proud of, it’s just hard to reflect on those things when you’re in the midst of it.” — Evan Ream’s column publishes Sundays.

knew mostly from her softball adventures. It was my pleasure to cover her exploits for The Enterprise. She always went out of her way to say hello, at the games, downtown or on campus. My regret is that I didn’t get more time with her. When I heard the news of Andrews’ death, like everyone, I was stunned. Reluctantly, I knew I had to talk with Laura and Adam about Evelyn and plans for services. I also wanted the community to hear further about Evelyn. While she was here, you could never get enough time with Evelyn, never know enough about what she was up to next. “Her smile lit up a room,” the Andrewses told me — something I already knew. “Her favorite thing to do was to make someone smile. She could sense anyone’s mood in a matter of seconds and, if they were down, she would know just what to say to cheer them up.
I don’t believe Evelyn ever met a stranger ... just another opportunity to connect with someone new and unique. “Every time her team would pick up a new player, she’d be the one to reach out and ask to play catch with them. She would make such an effort to get to know them that it was impossible for girls to not let her in.” Adam, whom Evelyn credited for a lot of her drive and softball acumen, joined Laura (always there as a team mom, organizer and supporter) in talking about that drive: “Evelyn was such a hard worker, the hardest. One of the biggest reasons why she was so adept at motivating and pushing people to be their best is that she worked on herself, every day. Physically, Evelyn was exceptionally strong, but not as naturally athletic as you’d imagine. She put in the time and busted her ass to improve, hone and preserve her skills. “She would never ask anything of anyone she didn’t demand from herself.
(She) never believed her previous successes should give her a free pass. Ev believed you started over with every new day, every at-bat. “That ethic bled over to her academic and personal life. Evelyn’s capacity to love, forgive and move on are rooted in the belief that we get to start over every day. Your past didn’t have to predict your future.” On this day, I can’t find a happy ending ... Notes: The Andrewses told me, “Evelyn would be honored if folks would donate to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society on her behalf (donate.lls.org/lls/donate). ...
