Moms try to prevent gun deaths Effort puts focus on responsible storage

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Ruth Pagano-Trn’s life has a before and an after, and in between; a single horrific moment of gun violence on the night of her 18th birthday celebration — a moment that took a life and sent ripples of grief and trauma through a community of family, friends and firstresponders.

Twenty-one years later, Pagano-Trn is sharing her story about that night, locally as a member of Yolo County Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and nationally as a part of the

Everytown Survivor Network.

Moms Demand Action — a nationwide, nonpartisan grassroots movement focused on preventing gun violence — was founded by Shannon Watts in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012. The movement later joined forces with Mayors Against Illegal Guns as part of Everytown for Gun Safety, the largest gun violence prevention organization in the country.

Pagano-Trn shared her story publicly for the first time during a November gathering in Davis of Yolo County Moms Demand Action.

It’s not that she had suppressed memories of that night; in fact, she went on to become a crime scene investigator for the West Sacramento Police Department for 11 years and found she brought to the job a

unique empathy and compassion for victims because of what she’d gone through.

But she’s also reached a place where she believes her story carries with it a compelling message that she wants to share: The death and trauma that night could have been prevented, just like so many gunrelated deaths occurring daily nationwide could be prevented, particularly if people did a better job storing their guns.

That message is the same one contained in Moms Demand Action’s Be SMART public information campaign, which aims to educate the community not only on how to safely store guns but also urges people to ask about the presence of unsecured guns in other homes — particularly ones their children are visiting — as well as the importance of recognizing the

risks of teen suicide — the presence of an unsecured gun in the home being one of them.

It’s a message that resonates locally for good reason.

Just last month, a Davis High School senior died in what Davis police said was an unintentional shooting at his home.

A few years ago, a sophomore at Davis High School died by suicide in his home from a selfinflicted gunshot wound.

Nationwide, gun-related homicides, suicides and unintentional shootings account for thousands of deaths every year.

In 2019, there were 39,426 firearm deaths in America, 24,090 of which — nearly two-thirds — were suicides, according to Yolo County Deputy District Attorney Preston Schaub, who spoke Monday at a UC Davis

An Arbuckle man is facing murder charges in connection with an alleged drunken-driving collision in Winters that left his wife dead Saturday night.

Winters police said Joshua Douglas Muller, 30, was at the wheel of a vehicle that crashed shortly before 9:30 pm. on Railroad MULLER Avenue north of Suspect Neimann Street, where responding officers found a woman gravely injured inside the car and rendered aid until medical personnel arrived on scene, according to a Winters Police Department Facebook post.

“The front passenger, identified as Sarah Muller, a 39-year-old resident of Arbuckle, was pronounced deceased at the scene,” the post said.

“The driver, identified as Joshua Muller, a 30-year- old resident of Arbuckle, displayed signs and symptoms of being under the influence of alcohol.”

Winters Police Chief John Miller said Monday that the Mullers,

Special to The Enterprise

Enterprise staff writer WOODLAND — At first glance, Rayshawn Taylor didn’t appear to be a suitable fit for Yolo County’s Mental Health Court.

While the Yolo Superior Court specialty program targets offenders with serious mental illnesses — as Taylor has — it wasn’t clear at first whether Taylor’s condition was the driving force behind his violent criminal history.

A West Sacramento resident, the 44-year-old Taylor had been arrested three times — the first for assaulting his uncle with a deadly weapon, the second for robbery and a third for resisting arrest. Two of his offenses resulted in state prison sentences.

Yolo County Probation Officer Steven Svetich, who reviewed Taylor’s referral for the MHC team, summed up his first impression like this: “There’s no chance in hell we’re taking this person.”

That outlook changed, however, when team members interviewed Taylor in person.

“We saw the human being in front of us, not the criminal on paper,” Svetich said, one who was remorseful, committed to

VOL. 123 NO. 25

understanding his mental health and motivated to improve his life. “You changed the way that we look at our referrals. We have to give people the opportunity to show us who they are.”

18-month, court-based treatment and monitoring program that seeks to increase participants’ treatment engagement while reducing their arrests, hospitalizations and jail time.

Nov. 23, 2013: Journalist Gary Younge chooses this day at random to report on deaths by gun violence that occurred in a 24-hour period, for his book, “Another Day in the Death of America: A Chronicle of Ten Short Lives.” The victims were ages 9 to 19.

More than six years later, a few days before he visits YOUNGE UC Davis as the Writer author of this year’s Campus Community Book Project, the statistics are just as startling, with an online report showing 14 deaths across the United States one day this week. (The Feb. 24 report is from Gun Violence America, which describes itself as a nonprofit corporation, independent, with no affiliation with any advocacy organization.)

Younge will be here Monday

Thrown into the eye of the hurricane

I

suppose by now just about everyone has heard the charming story of the 42-year-old Zamboni driver who filled in as an “Emergency Goalie” in a real National Hockey League game and turned into an overnight international sensation.

And it got me to thinking how wonderful it would be if we could all leave our same old mundane lives for just a day and do something heroic as an emergency fillin for any one of a number of endeavors and occupations.

Said the headline over one report of this incredible happening: “Zamboni driver wins NHL debut as Hurricanes’ emergency goalie.”

Turns out this guy by the name of Dave Ayres was actually designated as the Official Emergency Goalie in Toronto if either the Maple Leafs or their opponent had need of his services. The NHL apparently requires every franchise to have such a goalie-inwaiting, even though he’s not on the roster and is never expected to actually play in a game.

The emergency goalie, it turns out, is pressed into duty only if both the first string and second string goalies on one team

are not available.

It’s kind of like the “Designated Survivor” who doesn’t attend the president’s State of the Union address just in case everyone else in the government dies in some sort of horrible tragedy.

Well, both goalies on the roster of the Carolina Hurricanes were injured in the game against the Maple Leafs, pretty much reducing Carolina to a Category 1 Hurricane on the Toronto ice.

This caused Ayres to hop off his Zamboni, race into the locker room, put on a Hurricanes’ uniform in two minutes flat and skate into the arena midway through the second period.

He ended up making eight saves down the stretch as the Hurricanes won, 6-3, earning Ayres a standing ovation from rabid Maple Leafs fans, who rarely

applaud the other team’s goalie.

Then again, it must have been awfully hard for Toronto’s players to slap the puck past a Zamboni parked directly in front of the net.

According to NHL rules, Ayres gets 500 bucks for his effort and gets to keep his Hurricanes’ jersey, which should make him awfully popular in Toronto. But his heroics must have given pause to the league’s real goalies, who are half his age and make millions for their goal-stopping prowess.

I

t would be easy to call this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but in reality it’s a neverin-a-lifetime event, something that just doesn’t happen to any of us. Ever. Except that it did.

There are some folks in this country — maybe even a majority — who think things have reached such an alarming level in the White House that the president is skating on thin ice, if he’s skating at all.

What if the House of Representatives were allowed to designate an Emergency President to guard the nation’s goal until the emergency passes?

I look back at my own career in journalism and realize I was

Davis man convicted of indecent exposure Enterprise staff A 24-year-old Davis man received three years of probation and a month of jail time Monday following his conviction on charges of indecent exposure and lewd acts in public, the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office announced.

Martin Rios also was sentenced by Yolo Superior Court Judge David Reed to serve 240 hours of community service and register as a sex offender for 10 years, as well as an additional 30-day jail term for violating his probation in a prior.

Rios’ conviction stems from an incident on the morning of June 28, 2018,

prosecutors said in a news release.

“Rios was sitting in his car at Slide Hill Park in Davis when he called ‘good morning’ to a passing female jogger,” the statement said.

“When the jogger turned around, she realized that Rios was sitting in the driver’s seat of his car with the door open and his pants down. According to the victim, Rios was staring at her intently, grinning and masturbating.”

The jogger fled and called police the next day, resulting in Rios’ arrest. He was convicted by on Jan. 13.

Judge Reed also found Rios in violation of his

probation in a similar crime he committed in April 2017 in the parking lot at First and E streets in Davis, where he masturbated in front of a woman who was parked nearby. He pleaded no contest in that case.

“Davis Police Department officers, who were dedicated to investigating multiple reports of public masturbation in Davis between 2017 and 2018, were able to link the description provided by Rios’ new victim to Rios’ prior act,” prosecutors said.

“They were able to present a photographic lineup to Rios’ new victim, who was able to identify Rios as the perpetrator of the crime.”

Briefly Woodland police nab parolee A parolee at large who eluded police last month was arrested Friday night following a high-speed pursuit, Woodland police said.

The incident began at about 8:45 p.m. when officers spotted a vehicle driven by Woodland resident Joseph Gonzalez, 45, a wanted parolee at large, the Woodland Police Department reported in a Facebook post.

“Gonzalez refused to stop and led officers on a high-speed pursuit lasting several miles through the outskirts and through city streets of Woodland,” the post said. He pulled over near Third and Oak streets and fled on foot, but was found hiding in a nearby back yard and taken into custody.

Officers seized a stolen firearm out of Nevada when they arrested Gonzalez, who was the subject of a multi-agency hunt in the Muir Street area in late January when someone reported seeing him in a parked vehicle.

Police blocked off the street for hours, but were unable to find Gonzalez at that time.

MOMS: Information is critical to safe existence From Page A1 event on gun violence. The remaining 15,336 were a combination of homicides and unintentional shootings Every year, according to Moms Demand Action, nearly 300 children ages 17 and under gain access to a firearm and unintentionally shoot themselves or someone else. Nearly 600 children die by suicide every year with a gun.

Behind each of those statistics are not just the individual lives lost but the trauma suffered by countless family members, friends, first responders and others impacted by each death.

First-hand Pagano-Trn is one of those people.

She was 17 when she first met the 16-year-old who would become her boyfriend.

“He was kind, sweet, loving and a bit rebellious,” she recalls.

They were both a little broken from their parents’ divorces and they formed a bond over their shared hardships like many teens do.

The first time she met him, he showed her a loaded gun he was carrying.

“It was one of his father’s guns and I was shocked when he showed it to me,” Pagano-Trn said. “I told him to get rid of it, that I didn’t like guns and I never wanted to see it again.”

And she never did. But she believes it was the same gun he would later turn on himself at her 18th birthday celebration in her mother’s home.

Their relationship had become a little rocky — he could be jealous and insecure — and he became upset during the gathering when her attention was not on him. She told him they were fine, that she loved him and he had nothing to worry about.

But he wasn’t hearing it, telling her he was leaving, with some choice expletives for Pagano-Trn and her other friends.

Looking back, PaganoTrn notes that the thing about a mental health crisis, “especially one that involves a juvenile, is that if you are not sober or in the right frame of mind or you are a child yourself, it is really difficult to recognize in the moment or help someone struggling.”

So he left and PaganoTrn, her friends told her later, passed out on the couch.

It was a cold night in December and they piled jackets and coats on top of her to keep her warm. She slept while they kept partying. She didn’t hear when her boyfriend returned, entering the house from the backyard with a gun in his hand, finger on the trigger, demanding to know where she was.

He walked right past the couch, not seeing her buried under the jackets and coats.

“He went down the hall into my room,” she said.

“Still yelling and looking for me.”

One of her friends followed him and he yelled at

Emily Ault, standing, speaks during a recent meeting of Moms Demand Action in Davis. Ault is co-lead of the Yolo County chapter. her before firing a single shot into the ceiling.

That’s when Pagano-Trn woke up and her friends rushed her out of the house.

“One of my friends said, ‘We have to get out. He’s got a gun. He’s going to kill you,’ ” she recalled.

They ran out and police arrived shortly afterward, entering the house to find PaganoTrn’s boyfriend barricaded in her bedroom.

After hours of negotiaPAGANO-TRN tions, she Witness to heard the violence shot. He had turned the gun on himself.

“It has been 21 years since he died by suicide,” Pagano-Trn said. “And I can still hear that shot.

That is my trauma.”

But there was plenty of trauma to go around, rippling through the crowd that was at the party that night, their families, her boyfriend’s family, the police and other first responders, her mother in whose home it happened.

Pagano-Trn says she can go on and on about that trauma. But what she really wants people to focus on is this: It didn’t have to happen.

“Firearms in the home played the largest role in my boyfriend’s suicide,” she said. “He could have easily also killed me during this incident because he had a fully loaded gun. That gun was kept fully loaded in a safe in his parents’ home.

But this teenage boy knew the code.

“Could removing the ammunition or changing the passcode have saved my boyfriend?” Pagano-Trn now asks. “Yes. At least that night.”

Safe storage Emily Ault, a Davis resident who co-leads the Yolo County Moms Demand Action group, cites one study that showed the majority of children are aware of where their parents store their guns and that more than one-third reported handling those guns.

“Nearly one-quarter of parents did not know that

their children had handled the gun,” Ault said.

“We believe most gun owners want to be responsible gun owners,” Ault said. But being a responsible gun owner means storing guns locked, unloaded and separately from ammunition.

“Hiding a gun is not safe storage,” Ault said. “Every law-abiding adult has the right to decide whether or not to have a gun in the home. But you cannot rely on curious kids to not find that gun.”

And while parents may have it within their power to store guns safely in their own homes, they have less control over what’s happening in other homes, including those their children visit. Moms Demand Action urges parents to ask about the presence of guns in other homes and whether they are safely stored.

It can be an awkward question to ask, Ault notes, but still one well worth asking.

“Asking about guns in the home should be as natural as asking about any other issue,” she said, whether it’s parental supervision, food allergies, even a fence around a pool.

Also important are the conversations taking place between parents and children — not just about never handling a gun but also alerting an adult if, for example, they see a friend with one.

Looking back, PaganoTrn says she knew her boyfriend had access to a loaded gun — he showed it to her when they first met.

“Did I tell his parents (or) anyone? Sadly, that answer is no,” she said.

And then there is the issue of mental health and teen suicide.

“Access to a gun can mean the difference between life and death,” said Ault. “Most people who attempt suicide do not die unless they use a gun.

In fact, 85 percent of attempts with a gun result in death, a much higher fatality rate than any other means of self-harm.”

The thing about guns, said Pagano-Trn, “is there is rarely a second chance.

“Very few people survive,” she noted. “And that’s kind of the message: If you keep a gun loaded in the house and someone accesses it,

they’re much more likely to die.”

Local work Locally, Moms Demand Action is focused on spreading the message of Be SMART throughout Yolo County, meeting with elected officials, school district personnel and local law enforcement.

Ault and fellow member Jill Crowley presented to the Davis City Council earlier this month on what the group has been doing since it was founded in 2018 — work that also includes raising awareness about the state’s Gun Violence Restraining Order law that allows for guns to be removed from individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others.

The law allows family members as well as roommates, employers, law enforcement and others to seek a GVRO, but according to Schaub — the Yolo County deputy district attorney — few seem to have been sought, likely because there isn’t enough awareness about the law.

During the presentation to the City Council earlier this month, Mayor Brett Lee suggested a future council meeting might be a good place to help spread awareness about both GVROs and Be SMART. “Knowledge is very important,” he said. “Having people be knowledgeable about some very simple steps they can take in terms of storage … the community as a whole will be much safer.”

As for the GVRO law, he said, “often, sadly, on the news we hear about the concerned neighbors and loved ones ... that didn’t know what to do. So both presentations will be very valuable.”

Meanwhile, Moms Demand Action also would like to see the Be SMART message — as well as information about state laws governing gun storage — sent out far and wide, including via local school districts. They’re not alone.

In a November notice to

school districts throughout California, state Superintendent of Schools Tony Thurmond said, “district and school administrators must help educate parents and guardians about California’s child access prevention laws …

“It is a crime for a person to negligently store or leave a loaded firearm in a place where a child is likely to access it,” he said. “This is an urgent request to inform your school community about the law regarding safe storage of firearms ... it is the responsibility of parents, guardians and household members to store firearms according to California law.”

Last fall, the Los Angeles Unified School District went even further, sending a letter home to every family that outlined state law on safe gun storage, accompanied by information on how to safely secure guns.

Parents were required to sign and return a form acknowledging they had received and read the information.

“That’s the gold standard,” said Ault. “That’s what we would love to have happen (here).”

For Pagano-Trn, it’s all about preventing what happened in her life from happening to others.

“The biggest thing for me as a survivor is for people to understand there are things you can do in your life to prevent gun violence,” she said. “Through proper awareness, education, engagement and communication, prevention can happen.

“Helping others, including other parents, to recognize that no one is immune from this, no child is immune and that a life can be saved if we all work towards limiting access to firearms — especially during a crisis — (that) is really the first and most critical step in prevention.”

A4 THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

The Tans — Providing just the right touch

BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise staff writer Wedding day. It’s an event in which everyone in both families wants memories to last a lifetime.

From the moment a couple decides to get married, exactly how their vows will be recited — and where, before whom and with what kind of fanfare — becomes a focal point.

Sometimes the bride and groom want a simple service: a handful of family and friends, maybe a backyard ceremony and a small reception. On other occasions, the betrothed reach out to friends from throughout their lives.

Large families on each side come together and the wedding could include hundreds of well-wishers.

In either case, there is a lot of planning to make the special day live on.

Enter Jennifer and Rick Tan. The longtime Davis couple operate Tan Weddings and Events (TWE) and bring a unique set of skills to the celebration.

Jennifer, a former teacher and schools administrator, and Rick — a man who earned his medical degree but dedicated his life to his family and the event-planning world — met while students at UC Davis.

Their love of music (Jennifer plays the flute and Rick is a harpist) was common ground and their passion for helping people became a catalyst for eventually becoming weddingand-event planners.

After the couple married — yes, they orchestrated

Jennifer Tan officiates a wedding at Villa De Nardi in the rolling hills of Winters. their own wedding — and left Davis for almost a decade, they’ve returned to build a thriving business that has seen Jennifer and Rick now handle 200 weddings a year.

“We live and breath it 24/7,” said Jennifer, who says her background as an administrator in Murrieta schools provided organizational acumen that allows her to ensure that not an element goes unnoticed in the Tans’ ability to provide “the complete event.”

Jennifer continued: “We just wanted everything to go right and go well for our clients. Just like running a school — you want everything to go smoothly and solve all the problems behind the scenes … make sure (staff ) does their jobs.

“With that skill set that we have — and the fact we love what we do — we became a pretty good fit for the wedding business,” Rick told The Enterprise.

“It grew organically. We always did weddings on

the side. Then it became more of a part-time job to supplement the teaching income when we moved back here. Then it kept growing and growing.”

The Tans’ experience from having seen so many weddings as celebrants and musicians has made the planning part “a pretty natural progression.”

With a team of employees, which includes folks who can marry couples, musicians, designers and an operations manager, TWE can ensure planning from choosing the perfect location to creating and sending out invitations to day-of-the-event features.

As blissful and celebratory as couples and their families want their big day to be, often a bride and groom feel they can take on the preparations alone, or with only the help of family and friends.

There’s where the importance of hiring a wedding planner pays dividends.

Once matrimony is on the horizon, the excitement of planning starts.

The Tans want it to be fun for the families involved.

“There’s a DIY myth,” Rick explained. “Couples believe ‘We’re going to save money by doing it all ourselves and not hiring all these people who we’ve been told we need to hire.’

What happens is these couples run around getting all these quotes ... not realizing if they had a planner who could optimize their budget, they will end up spending (less).”

Plus all the coordination of event-day elements — food, floral, music, venue preparation, etc. — are handled, saving oodles of time for the families.

“We can do a really good

job for the couples, take a lot off their hands,” promised Rick, adding: “To the bride: Your job that day is hold a bouquet, not a clipboard.”

Having conducted weddings all over Northern California (from Yosemite, Mendocino, Napa/ Sonoma to the redwoods in Santa Cruz), TWE provides everything from spur-of-the-moment elopements to full-blown ceremonies featuring standing-room-only venues.

A popular local go-to location for smaller weddings has been the Tuscany-inspired Villa De Nardi in the rolling hills of Winters. The Tans add that folks often are surprised at the many other local venues at hand, too.

All that said, Jennifer knows that their advice and consultation with the bride and groom, and whoever is footing the bill, is crucial.

For throngs of 100 people, weddings typically run from $250 a guest to upwards of $100,000 total — depending on venue and requirements, the Tans added.

“First and foremost, we tell the couple, no matter who’s signing or paying, it is their day,” said the mother of four. “Learning what priorities are, and from where those are

coming, is important.”

Jennifer believes it’s vital to the success of the big day to know who in the family is calling the shots.

Once a budget is estimated, Rick and Jennifer and the staff will assist in venue choice, procuring vendors, event-site mapping, timeline creation and guest RSVP management, design of decor and rentals.

The Tans even have an online workspace for tracking confirmed guests, budget and timeline.

So when should couples begin planning their nuptials?

“At least eight months out,” Jennifer said. “We really like when people hire us early because everything will fit the budget and wants.”

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

TOUCH: Not too late for summer From Page A4 of 2021 and have fielded inquiries for 2022 already.

But the Davis planners say if somebody wanted to get married in a day or two, they could handle it. One such request already happened this month, according to Jennifer.

So is it too late to book a big wedding for this summer?

“Having eight months to plan is not always realistic,” Jennifer said. “We’ve had completely planned weddings — where nothing has been done yet — happen within three weeks.”

But planning now for the summer has one huge stumbling block: finding the right venue. “But it’s not impossible,” added the Tans.

The bottom line, say Jennifer and Rick, is they want

A showcase of Yolo County wedding professionals are collaborating for the third Wedding Tours of Yolo County event on Sunday, July 26.

Attendees are shuttled between different wedding venues for an opportunity to explore and get a feel for each location. Each venue also hosts a group of unique vendors designed to compliment each other to excite attendees for their special day. Vendors represent all things wedding including local caterers, photographers, florists, event planners, djs, bakers, officiants, makeup and hair stylists, rentals, signage and bridal gifts.

planning a wedding in the Yolo County area. The event features Yolo County top wedding professionals for a oneday experience where they can see, touch, taste and truly envision and see their wedding come to life.

A prescription for the dearth of doctors A

merican voters care more about health-care policies than any other single issue. There is widespread fear that getting sick has led or will lead to financial ruin for themselves or their loved ones.

According to a 2019 poll by RealClear Opinion Research, only 4 percent of Americans agree with the statement, “The healthcare system in America is working well; we should not make any significant changes at this time.” Sixty-seven percent believe the system is “broken” or “not working well.”

Yet even if we fix the cost and coverage problems in our healthcare system, there is another growing crisis: a lack of primarycare doctors, especially in rural America.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says for every 100,000 people a state should have 291 doctors. California (with 269.8 physicians) is 7.3 percent short.

In 2017, UC San Francisco researchers Joanne Spetz, Janet Coffman and Igor Geyn found that “California will likely face a statewide shortfall of clinicians in the next 15 years. … The Central Valley and Central Coast region and the Southern Border region are projected to have the worst shortages.”

In 2025, the Central Valley and Central Coast doctor deficit will be 18.7 percent; the southern border area will be

16.6 percent; and the Los Angeles, Orange County and Inland Empire region 12.6 percent.

According to CalMatters, “by 2030, the state is going to be in dire need of physicians.” The state will be short “as many as 10,000 primary-care clinicians, including nurse practitioners and physician assistants.”

The UCSF study found that the doctor shortage, particularly among primary-care practitioners, is currently most severe in rural and low-income inner cities in California. In part due to the cost of medical education and debts, medical students are increasingly inclined to go into higher-paying specialty care fields.

The average graduating student left the UC Davis School of Medicine in 2019 owing $171,090. Debt loads at private California med schools can be even worse. Doctors trained at Western University of Health Sciences (in Pomona) had an average debt of $272,311; at USC it was $218,017.

Roughly half of all medical demand is for primary care —

family medicine, general internal medicine, general pediatrics and obstetrics/gynecology. Yet only 36 percent of med school graduates in California are going into primary fields, and too few take jobs in underserved areas of our state.

Newly minted doctors from UC Davis are the exception.

They are encouraged to go into primary care — half do — and work in rural areas. According to a CalMatters report, UCD “is trying to eliminate the shortage between Sacramento and the Oregon border.”

One idea being promoted in the state legislature is to let Nurse Practitioners not under the supervision of a doctor provide more primary medical care.

Assembly Bill 890, authored by Jim Wood (D-Santa Rosa), has the support of the NP lobby, but is opposed by the California Medical Association, the Board of Registered Nursing and the California Nurses Association.

On Jan. 27, AB 890 was approved by the full Assembly, 61-1.

Another idea of Gov. Newsom is to train more doctors. California has 13 medical schools (six public and seven private), enrolling 7,400 students.

According to the LAO, Newsom “proposes a $25 million ongoing General Fund augmentation to support operations and expand enrollment” at the UC Riverside School of Medicine.

“In conjunction, the governor proposes approving a $94 million project to construct a new Riverside medical education building.”

The LAO reports, “At the UC San Francisco (UCSF) Fresno branch campus, the governor proposes $15 million ongoing General Fund, also to support operations and expand enrollment. According to UC staff, UCSF Fresno intends to submit an expansion plan in March.”

B

eyond funding and admitting more students, the state currently has three approaches to address the shortage of doctors in rural and inner-city areas and the lack of primary-care physicians.

According to the LAO, “a portion of UC medical students are enrolled in specialized medical education programs focused on providing care to certain communities (such as disadvantaged populations or rural communities).”

California also funds grant programs for physician residency programs. In order to win one of these grants, the doctors “must focus on primary care, emergency medicine or psychiatry and demonstrate they are serving certain geographic areas of the state.”

Third, the state has initiatives that incentivize new doctors to work in areas of California where there are shortages. These include loan repayments and special stipends.

LETTERS Deos for Supervisor I have been a Davis resident for seven years, and a criminal defense attorney since 2006.

Before moving to Davis, I spent several years working in the Obama Administration — first at the Justice Department and then at the White House — on criminal justice reform. I consider criminal justice reform to be one of the most pressing issues both locally and at the national level, and that is why I support Linda Deos for Yolo County Supervisor.

There has been a groundswell of support nationwide for criminal-justice reform, which has included jurisdictions of all shapes and sizes implementing progressive prosecution and law enforcement practices, reducing prison and jail populations, and fundamentally changing the way we approach juvenile delinquency.

Yolo County should be on the forefront of that movement, but instead it has chosen to wed itself to the old, failed policies of the past. I can conceive of no reason why, in this era of progressive change, we should spend $44 million to expand our county jail, which the county did in 2018. That decision, spearheaded by the current Board of Supervisors, is indefensible.

It is time for a change. Linda Deos represents the change that we need. She is truly committed to criminal justice reform, and we need her voice on the Yolo County Board of Supervisors.

Dan Olmos Davis

Yes on Measure G Our family moved to Davis six years ago because we wanted our daughters to have good schools, caring teachers and live in a community that values education.

The only thing that has changed since then is the value our home. It turns out that other families also value a community with great schools. We support Measure G because it’s the right thing to do, but it isn’t lost on us that our strong property values reflect the strength of our schools.

Please vote yes for Measure G, for our students, our educators, and our community.

Jim Provenza, humble leader I’m writing in support of Jim Provenza.

He’s running for re-election to represent District 4 on the Yolo County Board of Supervisors, the district I live in.

Being a county supervisor is not an easy job. There’s not much fame or glory involved; just a lot of hard work and time spent. It’s a job where experience matters.

It’s a job I want a person like Jim to have.

His service as a county supervisor has proven to me that he has the energy, intellect, vision, creative nature, experience, and heart I’m looking for to represent my views and needs of the 4th District and the county as a whole.

And ours is a representative democracy.

As citizens we don’t know what issues will arise in the next four years. Some will be the bread and butter of our daily lives: food, shelter, safety, security and help when you need it. Others will be bigger, affecting more people and requiring solid judgment as well as vision. Big issue or small, I trust Jim and I’m grateful beyond saying that a person of his caliber is willing to spend his time and energy representing us on the board of supervisors.

Jim is a leader. A quiet and humble one.

You don’t find that too often. Please vote to re-elect Jim Provenza on March 3.

Davis teachers teach the minimum 180 days, Wednesdays are short days, and several days are half-days. They teach less and less, but always demand more and more money.

Provenza has stellar record Yolo County Supervisor Jim Provenza has a stellar record of accomplishment and acts based on values in support of us all. One of his best qualities is serving people when no one is looking, serving those who can’t offer anything in return, and doing what’s right — not necessarily what’s easy.

Example: the owners of a South Davis mobile home park sold mobile homes to Spanish-speaking residents for cash, failed to transfer the title, and then unlawfully evicted the residents from the park. Mr. Provenza organized a task force that included state regulators, the county district attorney, and county staff to pursue the wrongdoers. Court and administrative actions were filed, titles to mobile homes were restored and almost $200,000 in restitution was paid to victims.

their name to a favorable cause or issue.

While there is a place for ceremony, proclamations and photo ops, mostly you’ll find Jim quietly laboring behind the scenes to bring people together to solve a problem or resolve an issue — substantively — beyond scratching the surface.

Example: Supervisor Provenza initiated and led a community effort that kept the Yolo Crisis Nursery open while helping to create a new nonprofit to sustainably manage this vital service that helps families in need and diverts children from the child welfare system.

Another dimension to his approach is encouraging genuine stakeholder participation in problem-solving. Advisory committees and working groups are empowered with real influence to shape solutions that best meet the community’s needs.

Example: As chair of the Yolo Habitat Conservancy, Supervisor Provenza, during lengthy and tough negotiations with state and federal regulators, leveraged the expertise of a highly regarded technical advisory committee to help craft a unique habitat conservation plan that is compatible with working agriculture.

A proven and accomplished officeholder of Jim’s stature, commitment and integrity is needed now more than ever. Please re-elect Jim Provenza, Yolo County Supervisor.

Support Measure G Please join me in voting yes for Measure G on March 3.

In 2016, we moved to Davis from Madison, Wisc., where property taxes are extremely high. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that property taxes here are lower while the caliber of public education remains as good or better than in our beloved Madison.

As a parent and an active member of the Da Vinci High School community, I have been impressed with the quality of teaching and commitment of teachers and staff to all students.

Please vote yes for Measure G to ensure that we can continue Davis’ outstanding educational legacy for future generations of children.

Yet according to the LAO, it’s unknown if the incentive programs are working. “To date, the Legislature has lacked adequate information to gauge the relative cost-effectiveness of the three types of programs (medical school programs, physician residency programs, and fiscal incentive programs) at increasing the supply of physicians in underserved regions.”

Obviously, it would make good sense to study the effectiveness of the incentive initiatives the state is using.

If a student is leaving medical school with $200,000 of debt, for example, it’s not likely that a $20,000 stipend or 10 percent loan forgiveness will motivate that new doctor to practice medicine in rural Lassen County.

But some amount — perhaps 100-percent loan forgiveness for a primary-care physician who works in an underserved area — will do the trick. This needs to be studied.

Even if we fail as a state and country to solve our health insurance issues, the shortage of doctors looms large over our future. California’s senior population is expected to be 87 percent higher in 2030 than in 2012, an increase of more than four million people. So demand for medical care is only going up.

DUI: Winters police investigation is ongoing From Page A1 heading home from a “date night” in downtown Winters, were traveling northbound on Railroad Avenue in a GMC Yukon Denali when the sport-utility vehicle left the roadway for unknown reasons and struck a tree.

Muller, who was injured in the crash, was transported to Kaiser Hospital in Vacaville, where a preliminary alcohol screening revealed a blood-alcohol content of 0.14, above the legal limit of 0.08, police said.

On probation for prior DUI conviction out of Colusa County, Muller was transported to the Yolo County Jail for booking on charges including murder and driving under the influence causing injury or death, police said.

He remained in custody

on a no-bail hold Monday morning, his first court appearance scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Wednesday in Yolo Superior Court.

Muller’s preliminary murder charge stems from California’s Watson implied-malice rule, reflecting the prior court warnings he would have received about the dangers of impaired driving, as well as the advisement that a future DUI resulting in a death could bring murder charges.

Both the Davis Police Department Major Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) and the Vacaville Police Department traffic division are assisting Winters police with the collision investigation.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Winters police Detective David Gonzalez at 530-795-2261.

COURT: County MHC team congratulates latest graduate From Page A1 The program is a collaborative effort involving the court, Yolo County Probation Department, Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), as well as the Public Defender and District Attorney’s offices.

Taylor’s graduation ceremony Tuesday filled Judge David Rosenberg’s courtroom with supporters, from friends and family to ftreatment providers to the lawenforcement officers who encountered him over the years.

“There is a lot of pride in the room right now, all about you,” Rosenberg said. “Your life has made a difference.”

One by one, members of the MHC team and audience members spoke in praise of Taylor and his positive transformation.

“It’s not often we get to see people get through whatever it is they’re battling and emerge on the other side,” said Rob Strange, deputy chief of the West Sacramento Police Department. “You’re becoming that brighter beacon every day for people that are out there.”

District Attorney Jeff Reisig also congratulated Taylor, presenting him with a baseball.

Progression through MHC’s four phases includes increasing days of sobriety, writing a reflective essay at the end of each phase, and consistently participating in treatment. The program allows for second chances should clients stumble along the way, depending on the circumstances.

Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig presents Rayshawn Taylor with a “game ball” as a token of graduation from Mental Health Court.

“In the DA’s Office we give out game balls to people who do amazing things as part of the team,” Reisig said. “You really hit a home run.”

Taylor’s post-graduation plan includes focusing on his full-time job as a crisis intervention worker and playing an active role in MHC’s alumni program, supporting current participants as they make

their way through the program’s four phases.

When it was his turn to speak, Taylor thanked the members of the MHC team and the fellow clients who became his friends.

“I’m glad this day has come.

I hope to continue to do good, do well,” Taylor said.

From the audience, his uncle responded, “You will!”

Recent statistics show the program’s positive impact in Yolo County, according to the DA’s Office. Of the 65 people assessed during 2018-19 year, 27 were enrolled in one of the collaborative courts. Twenty-four of those who did not enroll didn’t qualify because they didn’t suffer from a serious mental illness, or they chose not to enroll.

For those who did enroll, when comparing the 12 months prior to starting Mental Health Court to the 12 months after Mental Health Court, there was an 89 percent decrease in arrests, a 90 percent decrease in jail bed days, a 52 percent decrease in local hospital bed days, and a 100 percent decrease in state hospital bed days.

OBITUARIES Rosemond Irene McFerran April 28, 1928 — Jan. 17, 2020

Rosemond (Rosie) McFerran died on Jan. 17 from heart failure at her board and care home in Davis.

Rosie moved to Davis in 1965 after completing her master’s of library science degree at UCLA. She worked at UC Davis Shields Library until her retirement in 1991.

She was an active member of the Episcopal Church of Saint Martin in Davis until her death. Over the years, she facilitated many parish retreats and quiet days. She served on vestry and altar guild and hosted an intercessory prayer group. She was a member of The Third Order of Saint Francis.

She loved all kinds of music, both recorded and live performances. Rosie was a voracious reader and as a good librarian, she catalogued all her books and records.

Sitting at her kitchen table by the window,

she spent many hours watching the kids, birds and squirrels while reading or working a crossword puzzle. She especially enjoyed neighborhood parties, lunch bunch at church and visits from her cousin Sheila and nephew Brian and family.

She is survived by cousin Sheila Bernier Johnston, nephew Brian Harms and family, and nieces Cheri Heck and Lauren Long and their families.

A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m.

Friday, Feb. 28, at the Episcopal Church of Saint Martin, followed by lunch in the parish hall. Burial in March will be at the Santa Barbara Cemetery where her parents and sisters are buried.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Episcopal Church of Saint Martin, Yolo Hospice or the charity of your choice.

Barbara Joy Langer March 27, 1946 — Feb. 15, 2020

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.

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.

Golden move for UCD ATHLETE OF THE WEEK ETHAN ROSENDALE

I

t’s been a brilliant season for the Davis High boys and girls wrestling crew.

Under the tutelage of head coach John Rosendale, not only did the Blue Devils send 11 grapplers to last week’s Masters Championships at Stockton Arena — three from DHS advanced to the State meet (Thursday through Saturday at Mechanics Bank Arena in Bakersfield).

While Adrienne Turner won her secondstraight Masters title and Zach Brooks went 4-1 in third place to advance, it was Ethan Rosendale who had to battle back from an early defeat and wade his way through a 32-wrestler consolation bracket to move on.

Rosendale went 6-3, good for the magic sixth-place positioning and a place in the State meet.

“I went into this tournament as just another face in the crowds,” Rosendale said.

“I was not ranked, and nobody knew who I was. But I listened to what my coaches told me, made the adjustments, and finished sixth. I can guarantee that if I had slacked off a little bit more at practice, or let my focus slip for just a moment, I would have lost and failed to go to States. But we as a team have core values, and by following those values, I was able to make it to another week of the postseason.”

For Rosendale’s recent efforts — and a stunning résumé of accomplishment this winter, the junior has been chosen as the Greiner Heating & Air/Davis Enterprise Athlete of the Week.

“Every single kid that wrestled this week did great,” explained DHS mat coach John Rosendale (yep, the dad of Ethan). “All of these kids. This is the best that I’ve seen out of them all season.”

Of the 11 Devil wrestlers that made it to the Masters, according to coach Rosendale, all return next year.

O

K, be honest. Would you rather be spending your Labor Day weekend in Southern California or Tulsa, Okla.?

Thousands of Aggie football fans, who had already made plans to storm the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Saturday, Sept. 4 of 2021 for a highly anticipated showdown against the University of Southern California Trojans, will now have to scrub that excursion for a date with the University of Tulsa Golden Hurricane (set for Thursday night, Sept. 2, 2021).

Let’s be honest, it’s not a fair trade. Not even close.

While it’s pretty much a full day’s ride from Davis to the Coliseum, there are literally thousands of Aggie alums who live in the L.A. area and planned to attend the USC game.

There are scant few UCD alums in the Sooner state.

If you plan to drive to Tulsa, it’s 1,751 miles. It’s supposed to take 30 hours and 9 minutes, depending on how many times you stop at In-N-Out or Dutch Bros.

By air it’s just 1,419 miles, which translates to a 2-hourand-51-minute plane ride.

Either way, it’s unlikely there will be more than a handful of

Aggie fans in 30,000-seat Chapman Stadium on the University of Tulsa campus.

Then again, USC had to honor its $725,000 guarantee to UC Davis, and Tulsa has offered another $400,000 for its Davis game, so maybe the Aggie brass will offer gas money to everyone who wants

to make the long drive to watch our local heroes take on the Hurricane.

Incidentally, despite the nickname, Oklahoma is tornado country. Hurricanes do not strike Tulsa. Unless, of course, you’re talking about the Aggie offense.

Since the disappointing announcement that USC has decided it doesn’t wish to play a so-called “lower division” opponent, I’ve heard a number of people lament the fact that they won’t get to watch UCD’s first-ever appearance in the Memorial Coliseum.

Tulsa will fit the bill Cancellation

by USC ‘A-OK’

The Davis High baseball team works on breathing and meditation exercises to prepare for its afternoon workout. It is one of the new regimens under first-year head coach Ethan Guevin.

BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor While USC listened to its benefactors, alumni and fans in pulling out of its heretofore-scheduled 2021 football game with UC Davis, the outcome — at least from an Aggie perspective — isn’t all that bad.

Once the Trojans announced they were reneging, less than 72 hours later UCD had another date in place. Out with USC, in with Tulsa ... and the local campus’ cash register was ringing.

Because the University of Southern California yanked the plug at such a late date, by contract it is required to send UC Davis a check for $725,000. The new game with Tulsa provides UCD with a $400,000 fee.

“The factors that led to USC’s decision to change the schedule are outside of our control,” UCD Athletic Director Kevin Blue told The Enterprise. “But I give a lot of credit to Josh Flushman for structuring the contract in such a way that provided us with some insurance if some of this instability that materialized around the contract actually happened.”

Flushman is the senior associate athletics director of sports administration who handles a lion’s share of the behind-the-scenes UCD football work — including finance and scheduling.

Flushman says Davis started hearing rumbles last December that USC — one of only three Football Bowl Subdivision schools who had never played an FCS team — would pull out.

The game had been announced in July by Trojan Associate AD Steve Lopes and Blue. At the same time, USC made commitments to Nevada for 2023 and San Jose State in 2024.

Since the Davis/Southern Cal game surfaced, sports columnists, letters to the editor of the Los Angeles Times and a socialmedia uprising has criticized USC for giving a “lower-division” school a shot. Only Notre Dame and UCLA — the Trojans’ most keen rivals — remain the only FBS schools who haven’t gone the FCS route.

In November, USC AD

Tao of baseball Not business as usual with new coach ■ Editor’s note: This continues an Enterprise series on spring sports at Davis High School.

BY LEV FARRIS GOLDENBERG Enterprise staff writer Before last Friday’s Davis High baseball practice, 20-some-odd ballplayers lay scattered like blue-and-white starfish in left field.

The unlikely sunbathers were doing meditation and breath work for 10 minutes, hoping to shift their focus from the stress of the school day to the business of baseball.

One of the new regimens under first-year head coach Ethan Guevin, the Blue Devils now begin every practice in this fashion.

With a new coach, plenty of fresh faces and a new training

program, Davis is ready to build on last year’s 18-11 finish, which included a 13-5 Delta League mark and a firstround playoff exit.

With the roster set and the first preseason scrimmage under their belts (Saturday against St. Mary’s), the locals are inching towards the season opener on March 11 at Vacaville, the reigning SacJoaquin Section champs.

“It feels good, man,” Guevin says of being back at his alma mater. “There’s a lot of things to obviously get set in motion and put in place, but we’re checking the boxes and starting to play some games.”

Team captains Sure, things can be difficult in transition, but returning senior

outfielder Josh Catacutan and junior hurler Luke Carrell are ready to help carry the torch.

For Catacutan, reaching base comes as naturally as breathing air. As Guevin says, “things will go as he goes.”

In Catacutan’s first two varsity seasons, he batted .309 with a .454 on-base percentage. In 2019, he scored a team-high 35 runs as a junior and his 27 base hits ranked second on the squad. But with just four doubles, he hopes to add power to his repertoire.

“This is probably the best playing shape I’ve been in,” Catacutan told The Enterprise.

“I’m hoping to steal more bases, get more extra-base hits.”

Carrell returns after a wildly successful fall as the starting

UCD has hit parade Enterprise staff STOCKTON — In baseball there’s nothing like jumping on top of your opponent in the first inning.

For UC Davis on Tuesday night, it got plenty of help from host Pacific. Two walks, an RBI single from Spencer Gedestad and a fielder’s choice by Jonah Henrickson would be augmented by a first-inning throwing error as Davis led 3-0 before the Tigers took a swing.

Tanner Murray, Logan Denholm, Gedestad, Henrickson and J.D. Pico would all finish with two hits apiece in support of solid pitching by starter

Aggies 9, Tigers 3

Next game: Friday vs.

Loyola Marymount, 2 p.m.

Nate Freeman and reliever Zach Carrell. The Tigers got their runs late off Kaden Riccomini and Andres Lara but UCD still cruised, 9-3. The win puts Davis at 6-3 as it heads home for a three-game series with Loyola Marymount. First game is Friday.

First pitch is 2 p.m.

The Tigers (5-3) issued 10 free passes while Aggie pitchers yielded just eight hits

without issuing a walk. Pacific used eight pitchers.

Carrell, the left-handed freshman from Davis High, picked up the victory for his 2 innings of no-hit work. He fanned two and walked none.

Pacific starter Tommy Costello took the loss.

Denholm, the veteran catcher who play his prep ball at Oak Ridge, is now hitting .379. First baseman Henrickson, also from DHS, drove in two runs and now have five on the young season. He’s also scored five times.

Davis came into the game hitting .295 as a team and banged out another 11 hits.

TULSA: UCD on plus side From Page B1 Lynn Swann resigned, Lopes was out and in came former Colorado and Cincinnati athletic boss Mike Bohn.

Blue and Flushman agreed playing the Trojans would not only be a perk for Aggie players and fans, but being on that national stage certainly couldn’t have hurt recruiting.

But soon to be sitting with a cool $1.125 million in the bank, Aggie Nation is looking forward to their Oklahoma visit. Flushman says the cost of moving the UC Davis football trip to Tulsa pencils out “around $100,000.”

One more note on USC’s decision to terminate the contract: had Southern Cal informed UC Davis of its decision on or before Dec. 31, 2019, the Trojans would have owed only a $225,000 pull-out penalty.

“It’s pretty funny. We had every intention of playing that game,” says Flushman, who Blue says wrote an air-tight contract for the contest.

“We just wanted to make sure (if there were) buyouts we were going to get the money.

“In December, Kevin and I joking said, ‘Don’t take any phone calls from L.A. numbers until after the first.’”

Notes: USC replaced the Aggies with San Jose State, a school UCD beat, 44-38, in 2018. ... Tulsa was 4-8 last year and hasn’t been to a bowl game in four seasons. ... At Colorado, it was Bohn who hired, then after five seasons fired, future-Aggie coach Dan Hawkins.

DHS crews set to defend titles ■ Editor’s note: This continues an Enterprise series on spring sports at Davis High School.

BY WILL WYMAN Enterprise correspondent As the temperatures rise and we approach another scorching Davis summer, the pools around town will soon start to fill with people of all ages trying to cool off.

The Davis High swim team, however, will be in the pool trying to break a sweat. The storied program with a CVS-receipt-length list of team accolades and individual achievements will look to continue its success once more.

“Last season was incredible,” boasts fifth-year Blue Devil head coach John Varley. “The girls went undefeated again and won their third straight and 21st overall section title. We took five girls to State championships and set a team record in the 200 freestyle relay. The boys did really well, too, placing second in Delta League and showing up big-time at sections.”

Despite such sweeping success last year, Varley — a former Davis High swimmer himself — has ambitions of team improvement.

He hopes his crew will be able to progress both inside and outside of the water.

“My goals for this season are to improve as a team: improve our team chemistry and team spirit, improve as student-athletes and coaches, and help each other as a team,” Varley told The Enterprise.

“Being a good teammate is essential for success. Also, if I could have every swimmer (at any skill level) improve on their best times,

OWEN YANCHER/ENTERPRISE PHOTO

DHS swim coach John Varley gives instruction to Blue Devil Vance Tangren during a recent practice at Arroyo Pool. that would be a huge success as well.”

The coach’s objective for unity and team spirit is already on track for success. Varley believes the intra-squad meet last weekend provided a great environment for bonding.

“So far the team atmosphere is great. Everyone got to swim some funky events and meet new teammates,” the coach continues. “We finished up with a scavenger hunt and a team-history quiz.”

This was no small collection of teammates, either. The Blue Devil squad boasts an impressively deep roster, 85 strong.

“It is fun to see so many swimmers of different backgrounds

come together for a common goal — to be the best they can be for the team and for their school,” Varley continued.

In the pool, the Davis squad is loaded with talent.

According to Varley, among the standout swimmers for the varsity girls should be Natalie Bercutt, Elle Motekaitis, Madison Walker, Charlotte Rosendale, Sanne Dequine and Erika Dahlgren. For the boys, the swimmers to look for include Collin Fitzpatrick, Antonia Garibay, Tate Cutler, Thor Strandgaard, Jacob Kelman and Jason Joo. Varley likes all of the above are returners, adding: “They all know how to step up big for the team

and help support their fellow Blue Devils.”

Alongside this powerful group, the Devils are stacked to the brim with eager newcomers and emerging veterans, adding a variety of skill and experience.

“We have swimmers ... of all different skill levels and backgrounds. Some swimmers have never competed or even swam before and some swimmers are State qualifiers and will be attending the Olympic Trials this summer,” points out the seasoned head coach. “With such a wide array of talent and skill it can sometimes be difficult to remember where we all came from.

Everyone started at the same point, and everyone has the potential to do great things this year. There is no one swimmer on this team that is more important than the rest.”

The wisdom and knowledge that Varley hopes to impart on his team is shaped from his own experience ...

“Swimming for Davis High was the highlight of my swimming career and the most fun I ever had as a swimmer. I made lifelong friends and improved as an athlete and as a person. I only hope these swimmers can say the same when they look back on their swimming career down the road.”

The combination of guidance and hard work will no doubt lead to another successful season for the Davis crew.

The Devils will be thrown into the deep end in their first dual meet of the season. On Friday, DHS faces off with fierce league rivals Jesuit and St. Francis.

Arroyo Pool (3:30 p.m.) will be the arena of this titanic matchup, and with such great success on the horizon, confidence must be in the air (or water).

3 runners off to Olympic Trials LOCAL ROUNDUP

Enterprise staff Three local runners are headed to Atlanta this week to compete in Thursday and Friday’s Team USA Marathon Olympic Trials.

Da Vinci Charter Academy science teacher, Nathan Kwan, will join former Davis High cross country and track sibling stars Brendan Gregg and Katilin Gregg Goodman in hitting the ground vying for a top-3 finish in both the men’s and women’s fields.

A top-3 finish sends a competitor on to the Tokyo Olympics as a representative of the United States.

A founder of UC Davis’ cross country and track club, Kwan teaches chemistry and physics at DVCA. Ranked No. 16 in the men’s field, Brendan Gregg competed for Stanford from 2007 to 2012 and has run professionally for the HansonsBrooks Distance Project since 2012. A pro runner herself, former UCD cross country

opener at Brown Stadium.

Improving to 1-0, DHS received additional goals from Amara Higgins (four), Meilla Blissett (three), Sophia Young (two), Gracie Hartsough, Colette Quaas and Alee Holman-Evans. Jillian Watkins led the locals with six ground balls and Devil netminder Stella Cardenas tallied 13 stops.

Davis returns to action Friday when Petaluma’s Casa Grande visits town for a 4 p.m. clash.

The culture Guevin stands on the grass in foul territory by third base as he talks in the spot he will inhabit this season.

“I think any time you have a transition, there’s obviously challenges just getting on the same page as everyone. From my perspective, it’s been surprisingly smooth. I think guys have really bought into what we’re trying to do. We’re not really trying to remake the wheel, Coach (Dan) Ariola had a good program so there’s a lot of good stuff to build off.”

But Guevin has added two terms to the Devil baseball lexicon ...

“I think process and preparation are the two words they’re probably sick of hearing me say by now. Process and preparation, and then when it’s time to play, you gotta compete.”

Just then, Scheiber, the returning senior infielder, jogs up to get the base dig from Guevin.

“Hey, Coach.”

“Hey, player,” Guevin says, clapping Scheiber on the shoulder. “I know all the names,” he adds.

“They call me Coach, I think it’s funny.”

Is it Coach G? Davis High already has one of those in basketball coach Dan Gonzalez.

“It’s whatever they want. My Dad would always say, ‘Call me anything, but not late to dinner.’

That’s the philosophy I go by.”

Devil baseball, welcome to a new era.

Notes: Davis High baseball hosted St. Mary’s on Saturday in its first preseason scrimmage of spring. Several siblings of Devil baseball alumni flashed potential, as Jordan Painter knocked out two hits and walked twice, and Grafton Shorts collected three hits. Josh Catacutan, Luke Carrell and Koen Carston each had scoreless mound outings. “I was very happy with the way it went,” said Guevin. “Some very good things and some things we need to work on.” The Blue Devils open the regular season at Section champ Vacaville on March 11 at 4 p.m.

PUBLIC NOTICE

Notice of LEHR CERCLA Five-Year Review The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Legacy Management (LM) is conducting the second Five-Year Review of the ongoing protectiveness of selected remedies for environmental impacts within the DOE areas of the Laboratory for Energy-Related Health Research (LEHR) at the University of California, Davis under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). DOE successfully completed removal actions at the DOE areas of the LEHR, which significantly reduced impacts to human health and the environment. However, residual contaminants remain at the site at concentrations that prevent unrestricted use of some areas, or that have the potential to impact groundwater quality in the future. The selected remedies for the affected DOE areas are: • Land-use restrictions, including a Soil Management Plan (SMP) and the prohibition of residential use in selected areas • Long-term groundwater monitoring • Contingency remediation The purpose of the review is to ensure the CERCLA remedies remain protective of human health and the environment.

The review team will study site reports, past and present monitoring and inspection data, monitoring and surveillance practices, and conduct a physical inspection of the site. In addition, interviews will be conducted with stakeholders for comments and concerns regarding remedy effectiveness and administration of the site. The review

Is ‘baby’ produce worth the extra cost?

S

o many food trends have taken hold in recent times. One we never talk about is this whole class of “baby” produce offerings. What’s real? What should I buy?

Let’s tiptoe through the garden of “baby” produce. The next few months are a time of year when “baby” this and that are abundant.

Baby beets, soon to come into season, are legitimate — very young beets. They’re tender, smooth-sided orbs in contrast to large beets that have wintered over, perhaps grown woody, and show an abundance of roots heading every which way like uncombed hair.

Very small yellow squash, cucumbers and zucchini — they’re also superior to the large sizes, which have more seeds inside. If fully mature, one may have a spongy inner sleeve of mature seeds that should be scraped away.

Here, too, we have legitimate “baby” offerings.

Usually you pay more, per pound. Labor costs at the farm are higher, and the tiny or small produce is often more perishable.

Consider the dilemma that faced Fiddlers Green Farm at the Davis Farmers Market. A customer pre-ordered a 10-pound box of tiny, very immature squash — the kind highend chefs cherish for tasting menus.

When he didn’t show, the grower had to do something. The squash wouldn’t keep very long in premium fashion.

Kevin Weedon from Fiddlers Green Farm laughed as he explained their solution. With a touch of ingenuity and promotional panache, the baby squash went on public display, with a poster saying, “Squash Kittens.”

“It was a brilliant ploy,” he said. “The kids loved it.

The mothers hated it.

They had to buy them, and we did sell out.”

And as with most baby produce, the squash kittens cost significantly more per pound than in the mature version.

But often “baby” produce isn’t an immature, tender version of something. This can be true in a lot of ways.

Recently the Davis Food Co-Op had a sign saying “Baby Broccoli” on a slot for broccolini. Visually, the florets do resemble broccoli, but have long stems, as with a handheld bouquet. Ahh, but baby broccoli sounds so charming.

But it wasn’t broccoli.

Bon Appetit explains the difference: “Broccolini is actually a cross-breed of broccoli and Chinese broccoli, a leafy vegetable commonly referred to as … jie lan in Mandarin. You get the florets found in broccoli and the longer stems and leaves found in Chinese broccoli.”

And how about those

Kabocha squash for one — just the right size.

DAN KENNEDY/COURTESY PHOTOS

“Baby beets” are very young beets. They’re tender and smooth-sided in contrast to large beets that have wintered over. bags of “baby” carrots, as people like to call them?

Yes, they’re a legitimate finger food for a veggie platter, and they partner nicely with celery sticks at work for the calorie watchers. In fact, they are machined from much larger carrots to create that thumb-sized uniformity.

And what of those pencil-thin asparagus that appear in the supermarket? “Baby” asparagus, as many assume? Not at all.

Are they more tender, and tastier? Afraid not. They’re really a side hustle. They’re secondary shoots that arise from the ground amid thick, tastier asparagus, which sell at a higher price.

“Baby artichokes” are

secondary growth as well.

Atop an artichoke plant we find the large ones, which cost up to $5 each. They offer both a delicious heart and all of scrumptious petals we scrape with our teeth. However, baby artichokes are not tender, young versions at all, harvested before they too become very large. Rather, the plant issues a lot of little side artichokes on the main stalk. They cost less and should.

Baby artichokes can be peeled a bit, halved, and sautéed the way Brussel sprouts are typically prepared, but the fundamental artichoke experience is not there, nor is the large, tender heart.

Let’s step down the aisle

to salad greens. Yes, baby greens are in fact less mature spinach leaves, mustard greens and arugula, to name a few.

They’re fragile. They’re more suitable for certain salads, especially a personal side salad thrown together when time for food preparation is short.

Add oil and vinegar and you’re ready to go.

The spring mix sprang onto the food scene about 20 years ago, says Weedon.

Demand grew for a tender, flexible alternative to those full heads of romaine, iceberg and large leaf lettuce.

Here too “baby” produce is often more expensive.

The spring mix at Fiddlers Green Farm sported a sign of $10 per pound. A pound is a heck of a lot of loose greens, but again, farm operator costs are higher, especially for a farmers’ market point of sale. Yet a customer uses two handfuls tonight in a small salad, a single handful tomorrow to grace a sandwich. Its convenience in the kitchen fits modern life and fast cuisine.

Down another aisle we find strawberries, toma-

toes and grapefruit. This is the space where we scratch our heads. Customers regularly think bigger equals better, as with shrimp. In “baby” form, these are immature and lack great taste.

But then there are varieties that mature in smaller form, as we immediately know from the world of tomatoes. Beefsteak versus cherry tomato, both delicious for different purposes. They tremendously different in size at full maturity.

At the Food Tree Field stand at the farmer’s market, one can find a “Personal Kabocha” squash. So many customers don’t want a full-sized green kabocha squash, they offer this much smaller one, satisfactory for one meal.

It pays to know when bigger is better, smaller is better, or you can’t go wrong with any choice.

Musings on words, wine and good company

M

y Valentine card this year included a list of definitions for “boon.”

Why? Because I had referred, in a recent column, to my spouse as my “boon companion,” meaning something like “convivial.”

She seemed quite taken with the epithet. “Boon,” I learned from the card, can also mean “gracious,” “bounteous,” “companionable,” “congenial,” “jovial,” and just plain “good” — related to the French bon — as in bon jour or bon ami. Or bon appetit.

“Boon,” especially paired with “companion” does have a nice ring, I think, and I’m sorry that such a charming and versatile word/phrase has so waned from its 18th century popularity.

Along with the card came a bottle of bon vin for our Valentine celebration.

I’m using the French because “boon wine” doesn’t quite work in English, but the wine was, indeed, good--and a boon (“blessing” as a noun) to our dinner of roasted wild mushroom and bufalo mozzarella pizza.

Appropriately, the wine’s from Italy and, in good Italian tradition, has the most confusing label you can imagine.

For one thing the lengthy text is entirely in Italian. And despite

my last name, the copy of Dante’s “Divina Commedia” in the original on my shelf and my almost-convincing “Buongiorno,” my Italian sucks.

It took a fair amount of research even to discover what grapes were used to make this terrific blend, and when I found them, I wasn’t much the wiser, given the large percentage of mayolet and vuillein, two grapes found almost exclusively in the Val d’Aosta, an area in Northern Italy bordered by the Alps. I was relieved at least to recognize the smaller percentages of cab franc and nebbiolo.

The label reads “Vin Rouge” on one side and “Vin des Chanoines” on the other. Hey, isn’t that French? And what does “wine of the canons” mean anyway? Ah, Alpine multi-linguists.

But more important than these philological musings is the

wine itself, produced by the (French again) Institut Agricole Régional in the Val d’Aosta. This is an agricultural school that focuses on enhancing soil, growing crops, raising animals, and making wine sustainably in its Alpine environment. Italy seems to have no such silly regulations as California, which requires wine from our agricultural schools to be dumped. (Just this month, though, Senator Dodd introduced legislation to allow UCD to sell wine made by viticulture and enology students, proceeds going to the programs.)

It would have been a real shame to dump this lovely, smoky, earthy red that so enhanced our Valentine meal.

You might think that this unusual bottle could be found only in an esoteric wine shop in the Bay Area, but you can actually purchase a bottle right here in Davis at Davis Wine Bar on Second Street, $24.

In gratitude for this gift, I decided to prolong the celebration by opening the following night a bottle of Broc Cellars 2017 Love Red. If you’re a regular reader, you know that I take every opportunity to write about Broc Cellars, a Berkeley winery started by Chris Brockway, one

of the pioneers in California’s natural wine movement. Love Red (and Love White and Love Rosé) are his entry level wines, meticulously made, nonetheless, from old vines growing in nearby Solano County’s Green Valley.

The Love wines are relatively large production (for Chris) at 4800 cases, but “we still use only native yeasts and bacteria for fermentation with no additives or adjuncts,” except for a tiny amount of SO2 at bottling. The Love Red and White are available at the Davis Food Co-op ($19) along with several other Broc Cellars wines, my current favorite being the Chenin Blanc — grapes also from Green Valley.

The 2018 Love Red has been released — with its slightly different grape content — and I much look forward to trying it.

Mostly carignan and valdiguié (with a smattering of syrah and cab), the 2017 Love is a completely different creature from the Vin des Chanoines. Like the Chanoines, it’s low in alcohol (12.5%), and food friendly, but where the latter is a bit dark and broody, the Love is bright and fruity and very spicy. You can taste the cherry and a touch of tobacco in both but the Love is lighter on its feet.

Both, though, are sophisticated but approachable wines. It would be immense fun to try them side by side. I suspect your preference would have as much to do with your mood at the moment as with the dish you drank it with. I served the Love with linguine fini topped by a long-simmered tomato sauce and more of those wild mushrooms. (I purchased these from the mushroom aisle at Monterey Market in North Berkeley, a mushroom-lover’s paradise.)

As we move into warmer weather (earlier every year, it seems), my longing for red wine usually subsides, but these wonderful bright blends, which definitely benefit from half an hour in the fridge before serving, keep me drinking red far into the spring and early summer. In fact, over the years, I’ve come to prefer them to heavier reds in any weather, in part because they’re so eager to embrace and enhance my plant-based meals.

So, as spring approaches, I wish you (and all your boon companions) much bon vin rouge — and bon appetit.

Davis Flower Arrangers will watch an Ikebana demonstration Special to The Enterprise The Davis Flower Arrangers will welcome Ron Brown, who will give a flower-arranging demonstration beginning at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 4, at International House Davis, 10 College Park.

Brown, a retired winery executive, ceramic artist and renowned flower arranger, will discuss Ikebana, which originated among Buddhist priests in the sixth century and their flower arrangements were seen as messages of worship, each flower and angle holding a specific meaning.

The basic tenets of Ikebana have remained the same throughout its formation: scarcity and density; minimalism; and emphasis on shape, line and form.

Ikebana essentially focuses on the structural concept of an unequal triangle and looks markedly different from the spherical mass of a traditional European flower arrangement.

As Japan opened to the West, the original and highly ritualized Ikebana schools evolved.

Brown creates his own Sogetsu and is nicknamed “The Junkman,” as he tends to utilize industrial detritus

in his unique arrangements.

He often twists flowers among pipes or rusty metal tracks, pairing the ephemeral nature of flowers with weathered metal or unexpected materials.

Visitors are welcome and a pass for the evening is $10. Annual membership is $40 and covers all the year’s programs and the end-of-season celebration.

Tickets are available for a raffle drawing for the arrangements Brown creates during his presentation.

For further information, contact Molly Hillis at m3hillis@gmail.com.

Brown will be the special guest at the next Davis Flower Arrangers meeting, set for Wednesday, March 4.

DHS BOYS GOLF

Blue Devils tee off Young players to fill the local links ■ Editor’s note: This continues an Enterprise series on spring sports at Davis High School.

BY EVAN REAM Enterprise staff writer

DHS varsity cheerleaders are proud as punch as they take a bow after a stunning second-place performance in the varsity show division of Level 2 at last weekend’s JAMZ Nationals.

DHS CHEER

Big wins for Devils Varsity, JV squads bring home hardware Enterprise staff LAS VEGAS — It was a terrific February for Davis High cheerleading teams as both varsity and junior varsity contingents came home from last weekend’s JAMZ Nationals with plenty of bling — and lots of confidence going forward.

Under the direction of coach Tamara Reed, the Blue Devil JV squad earned a victory in the Level 1 show cheer competition — beating a school it had lost to by the thinnest of margins two weeks ago at the State competition in Bakersfield. The junior varsity also took second in the more tradition crowd-leading category (sideline), losing by two-tenths of a point.

“They almost had, “ Reed told The Enterprise as her school ended its cheer season until tryouts May 4-8.

In Level 2 — where Davis High was competing for the first time — the Blue Devils rooted themselves into a secondplace sideline finish and fourth place in show.

“Level 2 is more more advanced,” Reed explained, adding that the dance, jumps

and tumbling all have a higher degree of difficulty in show.

“They did great,” said the coach.

Schools come to JAMZ Nationals to compete at three number levels: 1) novice, 2) intermediate and 3) advanced.

“Where you are is based on the skill-level that you’re throwing,” Reed points out. “It was the first time we were ever in Level 2.

We knew it was going to be tougher, but (both teams) did really, really well.”

Reed says it was a growing experience for her team and offered: “We hope to stay in Level 2 the next couple of years and build on that.”

Twenty-three student-athletes represented DHS ...

Varsity cheerleaders included Qianah Zare, Eryn Bonner, Jane Rauchway, Kylie Martinez, Kathleen Doherty, Dakota Banuelos, Audrey Kahle, Julia Garcia, Sarah Griffiths, Lily Rigor and Maren McGuire.

For the JVs, competing were Bonner, Banuelos, Haley Helge, Kenzie Martinez, Kylie Martinez, Emelia Tumbo, Isa O’Hare, Aly Dolcini, Veronica Gagon, Carolena Morales, Francesca Fannuchi, Peyton Scheon, Cristina Kim and Denicia Morris.

A year after one of the most impressive finishes in Davis High boys golf history, 2020 appears to be a season of change.

Last year, the Devils finished fourth in the NorCal Tournament and sent two-time Delta League Player of the Year Griffin Long to the State Tournament.

This year, Long and several of his classmates are gone, meaning there will be new athletes heading a program with a new coach for the first time in 20 years.

But don’t expect the quality of the program to change despite the retirement of longtime head coach Karl Ronning.

“I’m excited to build a program and to continue what Karl has done. He’s just won championship after championship and that just says a ton about him and the quality of golf in town,” said new head coach Zeb Becker. “I’m happy with the way the guys are playing right now, but until I have three, four seasons under my belt, (I won’t really know what to expect).”

Luckily for Becker, several key golfers are back even with the graduation of Long & Company.

After making a strong impact as a freshman, senior Collin Yee is the elder statesman on the roster and will look for a bounce-back year.

Alongside Yee, sophomore Logan Green should contribute after an impressive 78 in

last year’s Masters Tournament had him as the third-lowest Devil.

Rounding out those with extensive varsity experience is junior Braeden Schimmel, who broke into the team with a series of impressive performances and was consistently in the six golfers Ronning sent to tournaments last season.

Early returns also have senior Cameron Knutson and junior Ishan Malik garnering key roles as they have consistently shot in the 70s this preseason.

“They’re long — Collin Yee, Braden — those are really long hitters,” Becker said.

“They just can put it out there, 300, 350 yards is not out of the question depending on the conditions and the way the fairways are set up and if it’s rained or not. Those are upperclassmen that can poke it.

“Then you have guys that can get around the greens and putt,” he added. “Logan Green is a sophomore and he’s not terribly long, but he’s consistently down the middle. He missed a fairway by 5 yards and one of the other kids said, ‘I think that’s the first fairway I’ve seen him miss in five rounds.’”

So with all the new faces around the program, what can Davis High golf fans expect when DHS tees of its season Thursday in a non-league dual match at St. Mary’s of Stockton?

“We’re going to shoot for a league championship and a section title,” Becker said. “If they come up short, we’ll deal with that at that moment. If they get off to a hot start and they come up short, that will be a bummer. If they start off cold and get hot, great. But we’re mostly trying to just mentor future fathers and leaders in our community.”

Note: Joining Becker on the coaching staff are Kelly Hammond and Dr. Dave Nakano, while the junior varsity program will be headed by Larry Raber.

First year Davis High boys golf coach Zeb Becker, left, is joined on the links by Blue Devil senior Nick Mahoney.

For the first time in 20 years, the head coach of the Davis High boys golf team won’t be Karl Ronning.

And though new coach Zeb Becker hopes to put his own stamp on the program, he fully acknowledges that he has big shoes to fill after the myriad league, section and Masters titles won under Ronning.

Becker hopes to replicate Ronning’s success — and it appears as if he’s begun that journey by hoping to pass on some of the former coach’s Zen teachings.

“One of the things I’ve been talking to the kids about is they all have their swing coaches. I’m not a PGA guy; I don’t pretend to be their swing coach. We’re all here for support,” Becker said. “My vision is to help them with their mental game, to help them stay confident, give them pats on the back when they need it.”

A longtime baseball player, whose claim to fame was hitting his only college home

run on his last career at-bat for Cal State Hayward against UC Davis, Becker initially focused on coaching baseball or basketball before his son, Xavier, fell in love with golf.

“As my son got a little bit older and started playing, I stepped away from the baseball scene and became an avid golfer,” said Becker, who is a single-digit handicapper. “I can hack it with the best of them.”

Noticing the posting of the boys golf coach job, Becker, who already had a professional relationship with DHS athletic director Jeff Lorenson, decided that it might be fun to get involved with the game at a higher level.

So when he isn’t working at his Sacramento-based business Rally Factory, Becker can be found on the links at El Macero Country Club, Wildhorse Golf Club or wherever the Blue Devils boys will battling the bunkers and solving the greens this spring. “(I’m) only a steward of the program,” Becker said. “I’m excited to continue what Karl has done.”

DUNNING: Been there, did that From Page B1 Well, actually, the Aggies have indeed played in the Memorial Coliseum. Nine times, in fact.

Not so long ago, the University of California at Santa Barbara had a football team. A pretty good football team at that.

And every year from the late ’40s into the early ’60s, the Aggies and Gauchos would participate in an allUC football doubleheader along with their big brothers from Berkeley and UCLA. UCD and UCSB would play the early game, then the Bears and the Bruins would do battle in the second game, all in the

same stadium.

The whole scene would alternate between Memorial Stadium in Berkeley and the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles.

The first time the Aggies visited the Coliseum, in 1949, they were crushed by the Gauchos, 40-6. They turned the tables the next time around, in 1951, with a 13-7 win.

The final Coliseum game came in 1963 and produced a 7-0 win for an Aggie team that was coached by Will Lotter and featured the legendary Dick Carriere at quarterback.

Tulsa, meanwhile, has had brief bursts of glory at the FBS level, but has fallen on hard times recently,

finishing 2-10 in 2017, 3-9 in 2018 and 4-8 in 2019.

Tulsa, in case you’re wondering, is not USC. Truth be told, there are only a handful of schools that have been drop-dead, big-time legends throughout the history of college football.

USC is one of those schools. Notre Dame. Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan and Oklahoma also qualify. Not so long ago, Nebraska would have been mentioned among that group as well.

It’s an opportunity lost, but we’ll all survive.

Even a Hurricane can be tamed.
