School district shuts down offices

BY JEFF HUDSON Enterprise staff writer Superintendent John Bowes announced on Wednesday that schools will remain closed for the time being, and the district office will be shutting down as well, due to the COVID-19 virus.

Bowes stressed the following points in a statement sent to parents, students and teachers:

The alley along Davis Ace between Third and Fourth streets is mostly empty of the parked cars that usually crowd it.

County orders residents to shelter in place Fifth coronavirus case confirmed

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Yolo County issued a shelterin-place order that went into effect Thursday limiting all activity, travel and business functions to only the most essential needs in order to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus.

The order, effective through April 7 unless extended by the county public health officer, supersedes the city of Davis’ recommendation on Tuesday that residents shelter in place,

making it mandatory instead.

For most people, the county said, “this means you and those you live with should remain at home.

“You are allowed to leave your home for specified reasons to make sure you have the necessities of life such as getting food and medical supplies. You are also allowed to go outside to take care of pets, go on a walk, exercise outside and enjoy nearby parks, so long as you do not congregate in a group and maintain social distancing between you and other people,” according to the message from the county.

Individuals who are not part of a single household and use

shared residential spaces such as common rooms, laundry rooms and lobbies, must at all times — as reasonably as possible — maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet from each other.

“If you are sick you should stay at home and, to the extent you can, sequester yourself from others you live with,” the county said.

Violation of the order is a misdemeanor punishable by fine, imprisonment or both.

“We are hoping that people will voluntarily comply with the order,” said Davis Police Chief Darren Pytel.

“The order does carry the weight of law,” he added, “but

the goal really is to educate our community about how important it is to take these measures seriously.”

The shelter-in-place order came a few hours before confirmation that a fifth county resident had tested positive for the virus.

“The fifth confirmed case in Yolo County is an elderly adult with chronic health problems and is on a ventilator,” according to the county’s coronavirus webpage.

“This person acquired COVID-19 through community transmission.”

UCD researchers race to develop virus solutions

BY ANDY FELL Special to The Enterprise Clinical pathologists, infectious disease physicians and scientists at the UC Davis Medical Center, California National Primate Research Center and Center for Immunology and Infectious Diseases are collaborating on new reagents, diagnostic tests and a vaccine for the COVID-19 coronavirus. Their goal is to unravel the biology and infectious pathology of this new virus, and to develop means for prevention and ultimately treatment.

The team began by isolating, characterizing and culturing coronavirus from a patient treated at UC Davis, the first

community-acquired case in the U.S., with the goal of making diagnostic tests inhouse. These tests will make use of UC Davis’ existing infrastructure for highcapacity clinical laboratory testing. Widespread testing is crucial to unravel the true prevalence, lethality and contagiousness of COVID-19. Genetic differences between the UC Davis coronavirus isolate and those from other countries or parts of the U.S. may give clues about how the virus has spread.

Culturing the virus in the laboratory will allow researchers to investigate the basic biology of coronavirus — how it attacks and invades cells, and what treatments might

Campus graffiti takes aim at Chinese government

work against it.

BY CALEB HAMPTON

The UC Davis researchers were able to quickly launch their coronavirus research program because of the existing strong relationships between the School of Medicine, the CIID and the primate center, where researchers study HIV/AIDS, Zika and other infectious diseases.

Enterprise staff writer

“We knew who to call when the time came — it was our colleagues and partners at the CIID and CNPRC,” said Nam Tran, associate professor of pathology and laboratory medicine and senior director of clinical pathology, in charge of the SARS-CoV-2

Graffiti blaming the Chinese government for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic was found Tuesday on a shipping container at UC Davis’s Toomey Field. “The Chinese Communist Party = a danger to society,” the graffiti read, according to the California Aggie. It was accompanied by a spray-painted drawing of a man wearing a surgical mask. The graffiti has since been painted over.

Just in Gov. issues stayat-home order SACRAMENTO — On Thursday, March 19, Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive stay-at-home order to establish consistency across the state in order to slow the spread of the COVID19 virus.

The order instructs all California residents “to stay home or at their place of residence except as needed to maintain continuity of operations of the federal critical infrastructure sectors, as outlined at https://www.cisa.gov /critical-infrastructuresectors.”

Read the full order at https://covid19. ca.gov/img/N-33-20. pdf.

Shots fired in Woodland Yolo County’s shelterin-place order hasn’t stopped the rash of shootings in Woodland, the latest occurring shortly after 8 p.m.

Wednesday night with shots fired in the 400 block of Thomas Street, Woodland police Sgt. Dallas Hyde said.

“Officers arrived and located evidence that a shooting had occurred.

Suspects were not located and a motive has not been established,” said Hyde, who did not elaborate regarding the evidence obtained at the scene.

However, he noted that no injuries resulted from the incident.

Hyde said the case has been forwarded to the Woodland Police Department’s Gang Task Force, which formed in January in response to the series of shootings that began last fall.

FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 2020

From the ridiculous to the sublime M S ay you live in interesting times.

Indeed.

I don’t yet know the legal difference between the terms “shelter in place” and “total lockdown,” but I suspect we’re all about to find out.

Directives that one day seemed set in stone are, after “careful consideration,”quickly discarded and replaced within 24 hours with new edicts telling us how we should be going about our daily lives.

Every day we are treated to a Presidential Praise conference, where each “expert” invited to speak must first laud the “great efforts” of the Commander in Chief before attempting to sugarcoat the latest dire statistics.

Mr. Trump, who initially called the reaction to this pandemic a “hoax,” and who has consistently referred to it as the “Chinese virus” just so everyone knows he’s not to blame, is now insisting he is a “wartime president,” bone spurs and all. Apparently, he has renounced his draft deferment

to read the statement of Davis Superintendent of Schools John Bowes in his most recent communication with students and their parents.

and is now ready for battle with this invisible foe.

Meanwhile, on the home front, the call has gone out for more volunteers from a variety of organizations that serve the most needy in our midst, in part because many longtime volunteers are in the highest-risk age group for catching the coronavirus and really shouldn’t be out in public any more than absolutely necessary.

So, if you’re able-bodied and willing to roll up your sleeves in the most difficult of circumstances, there are a number of groups that could use your services.

I will say I was extremely proud

pecifically, when it comes to providing meals for students who need them despite the school closures, he wrote “DJUSD continues to provide grab-and-go meals to children Monday through Friday,” at four sites within the district.

In other words, the district won’t miss a beat when it comes to providing meal service just as if school were still in session.

Added Bowes, “Meals will be set up on a table outside the building for distribution for drive-thru pick-up from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday through Friday” through the first week of April.

“We will provide one lunch for that day and one breakfast to take home for the following day.”

Fair enough, but here’s the really good part.

“These meals will be free to any children 18 and under, regardless

of whether they attend DJUSD schools.”

You might want to read that heart-warming sentence again.

“We do not ask for names, any form of identification or what school or district the child attends.”

So, if you’re alive and breathing, welcome to breakfast and lunch, no questions asked. As it should be.

“An adult can pick up the meal(s) for the children in a family and there is no need to bring the whole family to the pickup site consistent with County Health guidance to find opportunities to avoid groups and increase social distancing.”

Amen.

A well thought out policy that I’m certain will be well executed and serve our community exactly as intended.

Blessings to everyone who helped to put this generous policy in place.

UC Davis suspends campus operations Only essential services remain

BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer Following directives from Yolo and Sacramento counties to “shelter-in-place,” UC Davis announced Wednesday it will suspend operations, with the exception of some essential programs and services.

The campus announced last week that all spring quarter classes will be taught remotely. The measures, like others taken up across the country, are part of an effort to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Students, who are completing final exams online through the end of the week, will have access to the library, computer labs, study spaces and classrooms until Sunday. “All individuals who utilize these spaces should observe appropriate social distancing,” Chancellor Gary S. May said in a statement.

Supervisors are currently determining which campus employees perform essential duties for which they should continue to report for work in-person. At this point, most students and employees are working from home.

Housing, dining On-campus housing and dining facilities will remain open through spring quarter. Students living in oncampus housing are eligible for a full refund if they cancel their housing contract and move belongings out by March 25 at 4 p.m. UC Davis will prorate refunds should students choose to move out after that date.

“Custodial teams are disinfecting student housing, administrative and teaching spaces daily, in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. Dining services is disinfecting high-traffic areas hourly,” administrators said in a statement.

Students who may have traveled for spring break and need to return to move belongings out should be allowed to do so under Yolo County’s shelter-in-place directive. “The county has indicated that travel to and from educational institutions for the purpose of receiving material for distance learning and other services is designated as essential travel,” UC Davis Student Housing and Dining services said on their website.

Students living in properties not owned by the campus, including Russel Park, Sol at West Village, LaRue Park, co-ops, fraternities and sororities have been encouraged to contact their housing managers.

“In the event your current housing will close down and you do not have other

options or would prefer to stay in Davis, please email studenthousing@ ucdavis.edu for assistance in securing a university housing contract,” housing and dining services said.

Students living offcampus are responsible for fulfilling the terms of their contract. Housing and dining services has advised those students to contact the person who manages their lease.

Campus dining services will remain open for spring quarter, possibly with modified hours. The Aggie Compass Basic Needs Center will also continue to operate and will offer weekly grocery bag pickups for students every Thursday.

On-call services for residents will continue. Programs and services that are canceled include intramural sports, academic tutoring centers and recreation rooms. A full list is available on the Student Housing and Dining Services website.

Tuition “There’s going to be (a) conversation and a standard approach about the mandatory system-wide fees and tuition, which will not be refunded because everything we’re doing is not closing the campus,” Vice Chancellor of Finance, Operations and Administration Kelly Ratliff told the California Aggie last week.

It is not clear whether Wednesday’s suspension of operations might entitle students to a refund for certain fees. It also remains to be seen how many UC Davis students might choose to defer for a quarter rather than take online classes.

CALEB HAMPTON/ENTERPRISE PHOTO

Usually a hub of activity, the UC Davis Memorial Union is all but abandoned on Thursday afternoon.

UCD did not respond to questions about whether hours or entire positions may be cut for spring quarter. According to a new poll, 1 in 5 American households has experienced a layoff or reduction in hours due to the coronavirus pandemic.

California workers whose hours have been cut due to the coronavirus can file an unemployment insurance claim, which provides partial wage replacement. On Wednesday, 80,000 Californians applied for unemployment benefits, up from a

daily average of 2,000.

Study abroad Based on advisories from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Department of State, UC Davis and the UC Education Abroad Program have suspended all study abroad programs through summer.

“Students currently enrolled will receive a full refund of all fees and deposits paid. Messages are being sent to students in all of these programs with further

details, next steps to take, and how the Global Learning Hub within Global Affairs will support students during this transition,” the Global Learning Hub said in a statement.

UCD did not respond to questions about how many students are currently abroad or whether they may be experiencing difficulties returning to the U.S. Roughly 1,300 UC Davis students study abroad each year, according to the UC Davis Global Learning Hub.

Bus companies adjust to virus With the coronavirus outbreak affecting ridership and the safety of their drivers, local bus companies Unitrans and Yolobus have announced measures during the emergency.

Starting March 18, Unitrans, the city of Davis and UC Davis public transportation system, will be operating its buses on the weekend service schedule through at least March 27.

On weekdays, service will start at 7 a.m. Service will operate only on the G, K, M, P, Q, O and V-MU lines.

Due to concerns over COVID-19, Unitrans is taking the following measures: ■ Maintenance staff is sanitizing all interior bus surfaces at the end of each day.

■ Drivers and conductors are instructed to wipe down their work space at the start of their shifts.

■ Drivers and conductors may refuse to handle cash or 10-ride tickets. Follow driver and conductor instructions on placing cash and 10-ride ticket stubs into the farebox.

Meanwhile, with the exception of its service to the Adult Day Health Care Center, Yolobus and its contractor Transdev will continue to operate all existing bus service. The situation could change, depending on what the Yolo County Emergency Operations Center and the Yolo County Public Health Officer instructs the company to do.

Yolobus asks riders that are sick to stay home. When onboard the bus, riders should practice social distancing whenever possible.

After reviewing guidance from the Center for Disease Control and recommendations from the American Public Transit Association, Yolobus and Transdev will: ■ Disinfect daily all major “touch” surfaces on each Yolobus, including door and seat grab rails, stanchions, grab straps, chime cords and fareboxes.

■ Frequently disinfect other surfaces that Transdev employees encounter throughout its facility.

Project Linus cancels meeting Project Linus of Yolo County will not have a meeting in April. Members are asked to hold any finished blankets and donations of fabric or yarn until the group announces its next meeting.

Courthouse stays open with modified schedule

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Compressed calendars, delayed trials and remote court hearings became the new reality this week at the Yolo County Courthouse in Woodland, where the doors remain open amid efforts to reduce the number of people who walk through them under the county’s COVID-19 shelter-in-place order.

“We are trying to find the right balance between public safety and access to justice,” Presiding Judge Samuel McAdam said in a conference call Thursday among court officials, judicial leaders and attorney representatives whose caseloads have been upended as a result of the outbreak response.

This week, California Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye granted the Yolo courts an emergency order allowing the courthouse to remain open but with pared-down calendars that keep building occupancy to a minimum.

With court staff drastically reduced to encourage social distancing, only three of the courthouse’s 14 courtrooms remain open: Department 1, an “allpurpose” criminal court for urgent in-custody matters; Department 2, home to urgent civil, family and probate court hearings in the

mornings and incustody and urgent juvenile cases in the afternoons; and Department 7, for preliminary hearings in urgent MCADAM criminal cases.

Within the next Superior Court presiding couple of days, the judge court expects to implement a video arraignment system for in-custody defendants, and telephonic appearances are being encouraged for other calendared matters except urgent criminal preliminary hearings. Plans also are underway to create “virtual chambers,” allowing attorneys to conference with judges who are working from home.

“The court’s goal is to reduce the footprint at the courthouse and allow people to abide by the shelterin-place orders,” McAdam said.

As for trials, criminal proceedings are on hold until at least April 15, while civil trials have been continued for seven weeks, “and quite honestly, it could be much longer,” McAdam said.

To that end, Cantil-Sakauye ordered the two-week period of March 17 to April 1 a Yolo Superior Court holiday for the purpose of civil-court filings, according to

County suspends animal adoptions; lobbies close at sheriff, attorneys’ offices

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Yolo County Animal Services announced Wednesday it has suspended all animal adoptions in response to the COVID-19 outbreak and the county’s order to shelter in place.

Animal Services staff — which has been temporarily reduced — will continue to accept stray animals at the Woodland shelter and respond to priority calls for services.

The shelter also will continue its animal fostering program, and anyone interested in fostering an animal during this time is encouraged to call 530668-5287 for more information.

Elsewhere in the county, the front lobbies have been closed at the Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office on East Gibson Road, the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office on Second Street, and the Public Defender’s Office on North Street, effective Thursday.

“We understand, for some, this will be one of

the many inconveniences in the weeks ahead,” the Sheriff ’s Office posted on Facebook, along with a photo of its deserted lobby. “We want our community to know that despite the public facing this closure, the men and women of the Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office are on the job and committed to public safety.”

Sheriff ’s staff will continue to answer calls on its main line, 530-6685280, “and providing services to the extent we are able,” the post said.

Questions regarding other issues can be mailed to the following addresses: civil matters, civil@yolocounty.org; records, records@yolocounty.org; concealed weapon permits, CCW@ yolocounty.org.

The DA’s Office announced on social media the closure of its lobby until at least April 7, but staff is available by phone at 530-666-8180.

The Public Defender’s Office is open to clients by appointment only, 530666-8165.

GRAFFITI: Terminology becomes an issue From Page A1 Trump insisted this week on continuing to refer to COVID-19 as “the Chinese virus” in televised press conferences, despite criticism from members of the media and warnings that the phrase encourages xenophobia.

Since the outbreak began in December, there has been a rise in attacks on Asians in the U.S. and a decline in patronage of Chinese restaurants and businesses.

In December 2019, the novel virus was discovered in Wuhan, China.

Numerous reports indicate that the Chinese Communist Party’s initial response focused on suppressing information rather than containing the outbreak. Similar reports show that the Trump administration stifled early efforts to control the virus’s spread in the United States.

“Ethnicity is not what causes the novel coronavirus,” U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar said last month in response to

“Ethnicity is not what causes the novel coronavirus.”

Alex Azar Health and human services secretary questioning from Democratic lawmakers. “We must ensure nobody is discriminated against.”

UC Davis also issued recent statements urging people to abide by the campus’ Principles of Community. “Now more than ever, let us collectively confront and reject any and all manifestations of discrimination,” Chancellor Gary S. May and other administrators wrote in a March 15 statement that detailed directives for spring quarter.

McAdam. Civil, probate, family, small claims, traffic and child support cases also will see a sevenweek delay.

With the courthouse’s clerk windows now closed to protect staff, case filings won’t be accepted in person but can be mailed to the court, although mail is expected to go unopened during the closure period, McAdam said.

Other court matters affected by the modifications include: ■ Emergency protective orders: EPOs for domestic violence, elder abuse and stalking can be requested from a law-enforcement agency and will be reviewed and ruled upon by an on-call judge.

Meanwhile, the court remains accessible for requests for all restraining orders by applying through the e-mail filing process.

A judge will issue an order and set any necessary hearings 45 days out. All Yolo County judges have the authority to extend by 30 days existing temporary orders set to expire before April 16; court clerks are processing those continuances now and sending notices of new hearing dates.

■ Guardianships and conservatorships: Postponed for seven weeks if a temporary order has been issued. Those without temporary orders will remain on calendar

and heard via telephonic conference.

■ Unlawful detainers: Continued past May 31, under Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive order halting evictions for renters and homeowners until that date.

■ Jury duty: Service has been rescheduled, with citizens receiving their new dates in the mail.

■ Self-Help Center: Closed but with staff available to answer emails for self-representing clients (addresses available on the court’s website, www.yolo.courts.ca.gov) in both English and Spanish.

Further adjustments may be forthcoming, including the possibility of expanding courtroom openings if the court can successfully limit the number of visitors, McAdam said. Updates will continue to be posted on the court’s website.

“It’s as if we’re creating a courthouse from scratch — we’re creating access,” McAdam said. “The way to do that is to have as few people as possible come to the courthouse, hold the hearings telephonically or by video, and ensure the safety of the public and staff.”

Thieves pilfer Woodland Food Closet

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Woodland police are investigating a burglary in which hundreds of dollars’ worth of food and other items were stolen from the Woodland Food Closet.

According to Sgt. Dallas Hyde, the break-in occurred between 8:30 p.m. Monday and 2:50 p.m. Tuesday at the food closet, which operates from the basement of Woodland Christian Church at 509 College St. “The thieves took food, baby products and other items the church uses to help those in need,” said Hyde, who estimated the value of the stolen property to be about $500. No suspects had been identified or arrested as of Thursday.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Woodland Police Department at 530-666-2411.

Tania Garcia-Cadena, the food closet’s executive

director, said the burglar or burglars cleaned out the supply of snacks, shelfstable milk and some cheese, then added insult to injury by dumping out boxes that had been filled during a food drive several days earlier and scattering food across the floors.

“Fortunately, they didn’t take too much, and we have been able to restock our shelves with a generous credit from our partners at the Yolo Food Bank,” Garcia-Cadena said. “We’ll continue to serve our neighbors in need and hopefully those who did this will get caught.”

Established in 1968, the Woodland Food Closet provides three days’ worth of food to those experiencing an emergency or crisis situation, and according to its website is the only agency in Woodland that performs food distribution on a daily basis, Monday through Friday. A referral from a social

service agency, school or church is required.

“Our clients are individuals, families, seniors, children and infants. Although intended to be a one-time, emergency service, Woodland Food Closet provides food to anyone who is hungry,” the website says. Clients in need of longer-term food resources are referred to the Yolo County Department of Employment and Social Services.

The Woodland Food Closet accepts donations of canned and nonperishable foods and toiletries.

Garcia-Cadena said anyone wishing to contribute financially to the organization can send donations to P.O. Box 803, Woodland, CA 95776, or donate via PayPal at Woodland Volunteer Bureau Food Closet.

SOLUTIONS: Science on the case From Page A1 testing at UC Davis Health.

The UC Davis Clinical Laboratory will be deploying such tests soon, while at the same time developing high-throughput assays to meet the growing demand in the community.

The high-throughput tests can perform up to 1,400 tests per day. Collaboration with the CIID and primate center is crucial to accelerate test validation required by the United States Food and Drug Administration, Tran said.

Primate model The UC Davis researchers also plan to develop a model of coronavirus infection in nonhuman primates. Researchers in China have already shown that COVID-19 will infect rhesus macaques, said Chris Miller, an infectious disease scientist at the primate center and professor of pathology, microbiology and immunology at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and CIID. This animal model could be used to develop and test potential treatments and vaccines, Miller said.

The researchers plan to use the nonhuman primate model to look at how age influences the course of COVID-19 disease. So far, it appears that the infection is generally mild in children and younger people and most serious in people over 60, but it is not clear why.

Nonhuman primates are

a uniquely powerful model for investigating human disease, said Professor John Morrison, director of the primate center. The coronavirus pandemic shows the need for significant investment in the national primate research centers so that they can build collaborations and be ready for such outbreaks, he said.

Teamwork All work with coronaviruses has to be conducted in biosafety level 3 (BSL3) facilities, requiring special precautions. The investigators obtained regulatory approvals from the institutional ethical and biosafety committees.

“Given the clinical

significance and global importance of these projects, emergency committee meetings were called and experts worked over time to assure safety and full compliance with CDC guidelines and all regulatory requirements in a record turnaround time,” said Angela Haczku, associate dean for translational research at the UC Davis School of Medicine.

The researchers have applied for supplemental grant funding from the NIH to support their work. But they are not waiting for federal funds to be awarded. UC Davis is using internal campus and primate center funds to get the work underway.

COMMENTARY California can start to make real change on homelessness

BY DAVID FLANAGAN AND MICHELE STEEB Special to CalMatters

n his State of the State address, Gov. Gavin Newsom declared California’s homelessness crisis a disgrace and declared: “Health care and housing can no longer be divorced.”

Newly released data from the federal government unequivocally supports the governor’s assertion.

In 2011-2013, there was an extraordinary shift in federal homelessness policy with the advent of Housing First, a one-size-fits-all approach that formally decoupled healthcare services from housing. Since then, homelessness has literally exploded, despite a significant increase in funding.

In 2009, Housing First was adopted by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to specifically address the needs of the homeless with severe addiction and mental illness, an estimated 10-15% of the total homeless population.

Without any credible evidence, in 2013, Housing and Urban Development rolled it out as a panacea for all homeless people, even promising it would end homelessness.

The state of California followed by adopting housing first in 2016 as its one-size-fitsall policy, as did many local Governments including Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento.

Their results are the most dismal in the nation: ■ California homelessness shot up 16.4% in 2019, the second largest increase of any state.

■ Los Angeles, up 16% ■ San Francisco, up 18% ■ Sacramento, 19% Under Housing First, the homeless are provided life-long, permanent housing.

It strictly prohibits, however, any requirement of service engagement — including mental health and addiction services —to address the underlying factors that led to a person’s homelessness.

As a result, California non-profits that pair housing with engagement in health services, including sobriety, are completely ineligible for federal, state and local government funding.

What?

Proponents suggest that, once housed, people can opt for services to treat their addiction or mental illness. This fails to consider that people trying to escape the grip of addiction or mental illness or both are rarely able to make such a decision. Many of them suffer from what psychiatrists call anosognosia, a lack of self-awareness. They’re too ill to know they’re ill.

Housing First also fails to consider that the delivery of services to disparate, scattered housing is extremely costly and inefficient. It also ignores a recent report that California lacks the behavioral health workers to make it happen.

California lawmakers should be concerned that under Housing First, women and their children are all treated identically. That is a direct contradiction to the lessons learned by California’s Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Once corrections officials instituted a gender-responsive and traumainformed approach in their overpopulated prisons, female recidivism rates fell by 21% in just eight years.

And it was the need for a tailored approach for youth that drove Gov. Newsom to shift control of the Juvenile Justice Division to the California Health and Human Services Agency, away from the department of corrections, to better identify and address early childhood trauma to prevent future incarceration.

Lawmakers need to focus on the factors that have led to a virtual halt on the production of affordable housing. However, estimates are that once these issues are resolved — if they are resolved — the time to construct the number of units needed to meet demand will take more than a decade.

The Newsoms and vaccinations

W

hile the world waits for someone, somewhere, to develop a vaccine against the coronavirus, it would be nice if residents in America’s most populous state could be sure their governor really is on board with vaccinations.

There is some reason to doubt he is. It’s true that Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a legislative bill intended to close loopholes allowing some children to avoid vaccinations required for public school enrollment. And he’s demanded Californians take many coronavirus precautions, from closing all bars to forcing over-65s to stay home. But …

Newsom only OK’d last year’s SB 276 after intervening twice in the legislative process to make the measure far weaker than the original version proposed by Democratic state Sen. Richard Pan of Sacramento, a pediatrician.

For anyone who doubts the impact of vaccinations on diseases like measles, rubella, mumps, polio and whooping cough, diseases that once could become epidemic, a look at the spread of the coronavirus might be illuminating.

Without a vaccine to hinder it, this virus sped around the world in two months, causing personal and financial panic. It halted most travel to Asia and Europe, the government warns Ameri-

cans against cruises, sports events are cancelled, many restaurants are closed and thousands wear surgical masks.

All this for a virus whose death toll is less severe than it was from some diseases for which vaccines are now well established.

Last year, Newsom did as much as he could afford politically to ease the impact of SB 276 on anti-vaccination parents who believe the almost certainly fictitious side-effect of autism that’s claimed by discredited antivaxx leaders. Those parents say this supposed occasional side effect outweighs any risk of disease epidemics.

Today’s stock market and multiple deaths from the coronavirus suggest otherwise.

Before SB 276, hundreds, maybe thousands, of parents located the few doctors who push the unproven autism claims and charged about $300 each to sign medical exemptions from the vaccination rules.

Pan sought to close this loophole by having state health officials vet all such

waivers, approving only those for children with organ transplants and a few other conditions.

Newsom bridled. Last summer, he said, “I believe in immunizations; I do not subscribe to their point of view broadly. I back immunizations, however I do have concerns about a bureaucrat making a decision that is very personal…I think that’s just something we need to pause and think about.” Does this verbal mush mean he thinks vaccinations belong in the realm of personal choice, not public health necessity? He won’t say.

N

ewsom essentially forced Pan to revise his bill so vetting will apply only to doctors who sign more than five waivers in any year. That seemed to satisfy Newsom — until late August, when he weighed in again, causing SB 276 to be further weakened. It no longer requires doctors to certify under penalty of perjury that what they’re saying is accurate. If they won’t do that, why believe them at all?

Then, in February, Newsom’s “First Partner,” wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom, told anti-vaxx activists in Sacramento that “I think there needs to be more conversation around spreading out vaccines, around only giving children the vaccines that are most essential.” Does the former actress believe she knows which ones fit that bill? Does

the governor share her belief?

The First Partner asked the activists not to post her remarks on social media, but they did it anyway.

A Newsom spokesperson later noted that the severely weakened law he signed is the position of his administration, but he has not pushed the health department to set up either the required vetting system or any oversight.

Pan told a reporter, “This should absolutely be happening now.”

What’s more, once a coronavirus vaccine arrives, it should be added to the required list to reduce risks from that sometimes deadly micro-organism.

It adds up to a situation where the governor talks strongly about combating the coronavirus, but has gone easy on other diseases that could spread even faster than the new threat, including some with far greater risks of death or brain damage for those they infect.

Which opens the question of how badly he actually wants a coronavirus vaccine.

Trump went on to heap blame on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. “Nancy and Chuck, they’re desperate because they know they need a catastrophe to crash the stock market to win the election.

Essential or non-essential? That is the question

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer As Yolo County residents hunker down for at least three weeks under a shelter-in-place order, some people will continue going to work while others will not and some businesses will continue running while others will shut their doors.

The order, aimed at stemming the spread of the novel coronavirus, allows people to leave their residence to provide or receive essential services, engage in essential activities and work for essential businesses and governmental services.

So what’s essential and what’s not? According to the order, driving for Lyft is; styling hair in a salon is not. Providing plumbing services is; running a fitness class at a gym is not.

Donating blood is; having a beer at a bar is not.

It’s no surprise that services provided in the healthcare field are deemed essential, including by hospitals, clinics, dentist offices, pharmacies, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and other healthcare facilities.

Healthcare suppliers and providers of home healthcare services, mental health care or any other ancillary healthcare service are essential as well, as are veterinary services.

Work that provides

Media companies like The Davis Enterprise are essential services allowed to continue working during the coronavirus emergency. essential infrastructure services is also, well, essential.

That includes everything from public works construction to housing construction, as well as services involving utilities like water, sewer, gas and electrical; solid waste removal; roads and highway work; public transportation and telecommunications systems, including the provision of essential infrastructure for computing services, business infrastructure, communications and web-based services, provided that work is in compliance with social distancing.

Obviously, there are essential government services as well. They include

first responders, emergency management personnel, emergency dispatchers, court personnel, law enforcement personnel and other services as determined essential by the government entity performing those functions.

There also are also a wide range of “essential” businesses that will need their employees reporting for work, including for-profit, not-for-profit, and educational entities and businesses that provide food, shelter and social services for economically disadvantaged or otherwise needy individuals.

SHELTER: Officials add to measures From Page A1 three new cases since Tuesday morning.

“These are extremely difficult times,” said Dr. Ron Chapman, Yolo County’s public health officer. “The COVID-19 virus continues to spread around the world and in our local communities. We need to do everything we can to protect our most vulnerable people from the harmful impacts of the virus.”

The shelter-at-home order follows increasing transmission of COVID-19 in California counties, including the five confirmed cases in Yolo County as of Wednesday. The state Department of Public Health has reported 675 confirmed cases in California and 16 deaths.

In response to continued spread of the virus, communities in Yolo County — including the city of Davis — have implemented mitigation efforts to slow the spread of the disease, such as encouraging social distancing and canceling nonessential gatherings.

Meanwhile, a shelter-inplace order was imposed on the Bay Area counties of

Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara, as well as the city of Berkeley, on Monday.

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday said he planned to extend the Bay Area shelter-in-place guidelines statewide, and issued an executive order Thursday evening.

“The county has issued a health officer order which strengthens our socialdistancing efforts,” Chapman said. “Together we can rise to the occasion to keep the people of Yolo County healthy and safe.”

The order defines essential activities as necessary for health and safety for individuals and their families.

Essential governmental functions, healthcare and infrastructure are allowed to operate, including law and safety and essential businesses, such as those that provide food, shelter and social services, and other necessities of life such as: ■ Fresh and nonperishable food retailers (including convenience stores); ■ Pharmacies; ■ Child-care facilities;

■ Gas stations; ■ Banks; ■ Laundry businesses; ■ Restaurants and other facilities that prepare food and serve food, but only for delivery or carry out; ■ Businesses that supply other essential businesses with support or supplies necessary to operate or ship/deliver groceries, food, goods or services directly to residents; ■ Any form of agricultural production and processing, including the cultivation of products for personal consumption or use through farming, ranching, livestock and fishing, including, but not limited to, transportation, manufacturing, chemicals, equipment and services; and ■ Services necessary for maintaining the safety, sanitation and essential operation of a residence.

“With this effort, we aim to slow the spread of the virus and protect the ability of healthcare providers to handle the influx of new patients,” said Supervisor Don Saylor of Davis.

“This is a thoughtful plan that will change our way of life for the time being,”

Saylor said in an email message. “There is no need to panic, however, it is important that we all adhere to the order.”

“It is our individual responsibility to care for one another and our community,” said his colleague, Supervisor Gary Sandy of Woodland.

“We do that by staying home, by maintaining a safe social distance from one another, by washing our hands and by disinfecting surfaces. Our goal is to safeguard our vital healthcare system from being overwhelmed.”

UC regents postpone vote on tuition hike

BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer The University of California Board of Regents has postponed a vote on a five-year tuition increase, the regents announced Wednesday. The decision was made at a monthly regents meeting, which was held by video conference amid efforts to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

“In this moment of great uncertainty, adding a change to people who couldn’t fully anticipate is not the right course of action,” said UC Regents Board Chairman John A. Peréz.

The proposed tuition hike would result in an initial 2 percent increase — possibly applied only to

incoming students — beginning in fall 2020.

Tuition would then continue to rise by smaller annual increments over the next five years.

With campus fees included, UC undergraduates currently pay an average of $14,022 per year, including the system-wide tuition of $12,570. With the tuition increase, undergraduate fees would be projected to rise to $14,670 per year for California residents and to nearly $50,000 per year for outof-state students.

The regents also plan to consider raising the supplementary tuition applied to some professional degrees at law schools at UC Davis, UC Berkeley, UCLA and

Yolo Veterinary Clinic Serving Yolo County Since 1952 Complete Medical and Surgical Services for Small Animals 235 W. Main St. Woodland

UC Irvine as well as at the UC Irvine and UC San Diego business schools.

Tuition would rise annually for these programs through 2023-24.

According to the UC Office of the President, much of the additional tuition would find its way back into students’ accounts, especially low and middle-income California residents. “The proposed plan would generate additional funding for student financial aid that would reduce the net cost of attendance for more

than one-half of UC California resident undergraduates,” the university says.

Currently, about a third of all UC students benefit from the state’s Cal Grant program, which covers the full cost of in-state tuition for low and middle-income students. The tuition hike would generate funding to increase the number of these grants.

The regents have not announced when a vote on the tuition increase might be held. Their next meeting is scheduled for May 19-21 at UC San Francisco.

■ Childcare facilities providing services that enable employees exempted in this order to work. To the extent possible, childcare facilities must operate under the following mandatory conditions: Childcare must be carried out in stable groups of 12 or fewer (“stable” means that the same children are in the same group each day); children shall not change from one group to another; if more than one group of children is cared for at one facility, each group shall be in a separate room. Groups shall not mix with each other; childcare providers shall remain solely with one group of children.

Meanwhile, businesses not designated as essential may maintain minimum basic operations, while practicing social distancing. Those operations may include maintaining inventory, security, payroll and employee benefits, or for related functions and minimum necessary activities to facilitate employees being able to continue to work remotely.

SCHOOL: District makes plans for longer lockout From Page A1

Meal service The district will continue to provide breakfast and lunch to all schoolage children age 18 and under. Recipients do not need to be Davis school district students.

“We are serving graband-go meals from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday — Friday,” Bows said. “Anyone in the family can pick up the meals — no ID is required. Sites currently serving meals are Montgomery Elementary, Harper Junior High, Patwin Elementary and the parking lot on Oak Avenue behind the All Student Center at Davis High. We will continue to post updates on the District Student Nutrition Services website. Please continue to visit that page for future updates.”

Each school website has a list of contact information, as does the district website. While phone messages are being checked, email communication is the preferred method and staff will respond when possible.

Learning resources The district is coming up with learning resources to support students while schools are closed, using a twophased approach.

Phase 1 is in place through April 12. “The school district will provide students and their families links to digital resources on our website.”

Phase 2 kicks in if school closure extends beyond April 12. It will focus on continuity, and will require teachers to use a virtual platform for remote learning.

“We will begin preparation and training for Phase 2 in the coming week,” Bowes said. “I know many students and families are anxiously awaiting the continuation of learning.”

The district will make information available on how to check out a Chromebook with a wi-fi hotspot for families that don’t have access to a computer or the Internet.

The superintendent added, “With schools and facilities closed, the school district is seeing an increase in vandalism at our sites. We do ask that you please be vigilant and report any unusual activity you may see on campuses to the Davis Police Department at 530-7475300 and communica tions@djusd.net.

We need the support of our whole community to deter wrongdoing and protect our sites.”

He concluded, “I can’t underscore enough how important it is for each of us to do our part to slow the spread of the COVID-19. Social Distancing doesn’t mean we can’t stay connected to our friends, schools, community, friends, and family. ...

Our district will continue to keep you informed by sharing news through my regular messages, our updated Frequently Asked Questions on our COVID19 website.”

Special to The Enterprise

Timber

Special to The Enterprise Lots of animals are waiting for “forever homes” at the Yolo County Animal Shelter, 2640 E. Gibson Road in Woodland.

Among them is Timber (A177884), a 5-year-old husky who loves to make his presence known. He’s silly, energetic and loves to play.

Also looking for a good home is Fuzzy Bottoms (A178147), a male domestic shorthair tabby cat. He loves scratches, is naturally curious, and will walk on a harness and leash.

Fuzzy Bottoms All shelter animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed or neutered.

For information on how to adopt a pet, call 530-668-5287 or visit www.petfinder.com/ member/us/ca/woodland/yolo-county-animal-services-ca283/.

Rotts of Friends Animal Rescue just got in two 6-month-old white purebred German shepherd puppies, a spayed female and a neutered male. They don’t even have names yet but they are moldable and playful. The pair can be adopted separately or together.

It’s raining great Pyrenees! Rotts has three — Norton, Trixie and Beans. All are 1-2 years old and spayed or neutered. Beans, a big fluffy gentle giant, is obedience-trained and walks well on leash.

t. Patrick’s Day 2020 has come and gone, but did you give a hearty toast to the good saint’s devotion and dog training skills? Yes, St. Pat was a dog whisperer as well as a legendary snake charmer.

Born a Scot in 387 AD, named Maewyn Succat, raised a Catholic, captured by marauding pagans at 16, he was taken to Ireland where he was sold into slavery.

For six years, Succat tended sheep with only his favorite sheepdog to talk to about Christianity. One night this faithful dog appeared to him as an angel and told him to run away. When he awoke, he took the sheep back to town and ran to the coast of Ireland. There he met pagan pirates with a shipload of very large fierce and unruly Irish wolfhounds they’d stolen.

Unable to control the hounds, they could not set sail. Seeing their dilemma, Succat offered to calm the hounds in exchange for safe travel on their ship.

Skeptical but with no alternative, the pagan pirates agreed. In a jiffy, Succat performed his first miracle by calming the beasts and off he went with the pagan pirates.

Unfortunately, the ship was wrecked off the uninhabited northwest coast of Gaul and everyone was soon starving. The pagan pirates taunted Patrick telling him if his Christian god was all-powerful why couldn’t he provide them with food? All that night Succat prayed while the skeptical pagans slept. The next morning a herd of wild boars appeared and Succat set the hounds on

that being in tune with dogs and training them well can be a great benefit to you and others.

COURTESY PHOTO

Sure ’tis true that Alfie had the luck o’ the Irish when he found his pot of gold with Nick and Willow Boone!

PAWS FOR THOUGHT them. After a hearty breakfast, the satiated pagan pirates were so impressed they converted to Christianity.

On the continent, Succat became a priest and changed his name to Patricius or Patrick. Twenty years later he returned to Ireland as a missionary.

There he saw the Irish pagan prince Dichu hunting with his savage war dog, Lauth.

Dichu set Lauth on Patrick, but when Patrick spoke softly to the Irish wolfhound it went into a down-stay and licked Patrick’s hand. Prince Dichu was so impressed he gave Patrick a barn to be

converted into a church and commanded his troops and vassals to permit Patrick and his priests free passage across Ireland.

As a final gesture of goodwill towards our canine companions, Irish folklore has it that Patrick allowed the legendary Irish hero Oissain to take his hounds to heaven with him. Now that’s nothing short of a miracle!

Seventeen centuries later, it is still true that being in tune with dogs and training them well can be a great benefit to you and others whether or not you are shipwrecked and in need of food. So who knows what miracles you and a well-behaved canine companion might do in the 21st century.

Happy Tails Alfredo’s adoption was the small miracle that was meant to be.

Recovering from having his front left leg amputated, he was being taken out for a short walk at the Front Street Animal Shelter.

As the young terrier exited the building, he came face to face with Nick, who’d had one of his legs amputated and was looking to adopt a special-needs canine companion.

It was bond at first sight and the rest is one very happy tale for Alfredo, Nick and Willow Boone.

The three of them now live in Elk Grove where there’s fresh air and plenty of wide-open spaces.

A few days after Alfredo’s adoption in November, Willow wrote, “Hello, hello! He’s doing amazing!

The first morning he was able to see the property, and he just sat and you could tell he was taking it all in. I’ve been doing nightly massage and therapy with CBD oil on his back legs. And his personality is really starting to shine. We have his first vet check up on Monday.”

Recently, Willow wrote, “Alfredo is doing fantastic!

He’s healed up so well that he’s now out running with the cattle dog our family has on the property. A usual day for Alfie is waking up and cuddling with Nick, then running and playing fetch before digging for gophers. He comes into my work every day, and not only do my coworkers love him; but some of our regular customers know him by name now, too! Our cat Tortellini and he have started to cuddle up during naptime as well.”

Find a way to carry on with artistry

s many of you know, Davis Arts Center made the decision to cancel classes through the end of April and temporarily close the front office.

We know that you enjoy coming to Davis Arts Center for the community and the connection with each other and the arts. We also recognize that the potential silver lining of this involuntary period of retreat is an opportunity to make art.

We hope that you continue your creative practice or take this opportunity to begin one.

Once safe and when operations are up and running, Davis Arts Center plans on making our wall space available to display your art that comes from this time period of social distancing.

If you are looking for some inspiration during this time, here are a few resources that you might use to bring art into your life while we are doing our part to protect the most vulnerable in our community and our healthcare community.

Many museums offer virtual tours. Search “virtual tours of museums.”

Some of them are quite advanced and use the Google Maps technology for their tours while others are quirky.

Some music venues are offering concerts online.

The Metropolitan Opera is sharing live streams of

DAVIS ARTS CENTER operas over the next two weeks. Visit www.met opera.org.

Austin Kleon, a favorite creative thinker of the Davis Arts Center staff, wrote a book titled “Keep Going, 10 Ways to Be Creative in Good Times and Bad.” That’s me, holding his book in the photo at right.

He has summarized his tips on his blog: https:// austinkleon.com. Then search for “working from home.”

Many people know that I love making one-page zines. If you or your children want to document your time or just write notes to friends (that you will give after it’s safe), all you need is one page of paper and a pen or pencil.

I first learned this from Elise Winn Pollard, a former instructor at Davis Arts Center. Austin Kleon has a good tutorial or you can search “one-page zine.”

Go to https://austinkleon. com/2020/03/04/howto-make-a-zine-from-asingle-sheet-of-paper.

Another favorite of mine is Lynda Barry. Her book “Making Comics” shares some exercises that could be fun as a family. The exercise that I did last night was to spend three minutes drawing selfortraits on an index card or a piece of paper cut into quarters.

New music director starts at Davis Lutheran Church Davis Lutheran Church welcomed its new music director last month, Lauma Akmene, a Latvian national with a master’s degree in organ performance.

From worship hymns and choir performances to events and concerts, Akmene said she’s ready to get the Davis Lutheran congregation and the Davis community involved in music regularly.

“I plan to bring a diverse music program where everyone feels supported,” Akmene said, “and that everyone feels they have a place in worship or concerts.”

Akmene was born and spent her early life in postSoviet Union Latvia, where her pastor advised her to study music at the Luther Academy in Riga, Latvia, after hearing her play the organ.

“He said, ‘Why don’t you go to study (music)? It will be easy for you. You will be able to combine it with your architecture studies for sure,’ which was all lies,” Akmene said with a laugh. “Music took my interest more than architecture at some point, and I made the decision to go for music.”

She completed her

limbs from there.

You can modify this to many different drawings.

Her book has a list. Here are some more to help the

Lastly, during this temporary closure, we will still be accepting memberships, renewals, summer camp registrations and donations. Your financial support is especially appreciated at this time, as it will help us to pay general operating costs during a time when other revenues are being lost and assist us to restart our programming later this spring.

undergraduate studies at the Luther Academy and graduating with a bachelor’s degree in theology with a church-music qualification.

“It’s a very German type of education,” Akmene said. “It’s basically about music and working in a church as a musician, but you also get another degree usually in philosophy or theology.”

Akmene said Latvia’s small population of under 2 million actually broadened her communication and musical experience.

“The language is small, so everyone needs to know at least two other languages to know what’s going on. I’ve learned to speak Russian and English to see both sides,” Akmene said. “There’s probably less than 30 organists in the whole country. Since we (Latvia) have been blocked for many years from Europe and what is going on in the world, it’s pretty narrow there, actually. I really enjoyed going around a lot to masterclasses to see what the big (organ) teachers are doing in the world.”

After an organist she met in Germany during her travels agreed to take her under his wing, Akmene’s studies took her

to Montreal, Canada, where she received a master’s degree in organ performance from McGill University. Upon taking the music director position at the church, the staff and Akmene navigated the lengthy visa process. Six months later, she successfully arrived in Davis to start her new position.

Akmene said her first endeavor as music director is to start a monthly concert series hosted at Davis Lutheran: “Music Conversations.”

“I would like to invite international and local talented artists to collaborate, as well as artists from UC Davis to give them a chance to come and play for a supportive audience,” Akmene said. “I think that the Davis community is interested in culture. This is for the community.”

Akmene’s first “Music Conversations” guest is soprano Helena Sorokina, a fellow Latvian currently working in Vienna, Austria. They will record a performance at 3 p.m.

Sunday, March 29, that will be available at davislc. org. The show had been scheduled at the church, but in light of the coronavirus outbreak, was changed to online.

Davis Lutheran Church starts a new Sundayafternoon music series “Music Conversations,” inviting local and international musicians.

Helena Sorokina (mezzosoprano) and Lauma Akmene (organ) will record a performance at 3 p.m.

Sunday, March 29, that will be available at davislc.org.

The show had been scheduled at the church, but in light of the coronavirus outbreak, was changed to online.

The duet will present music by Antonio Vivaldi, George Frideric Handel, Johann Sebastian Bach, Hildegard von Bingen and Frank Ferko.

Sorokina is a graduate of vocal studies at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz, Austria.

She has performed in some of the biggest concert halls of Germany, Austria, Italy and Latvia (e.g., “Die Glocke” Bremen, Laeiszhalle Hamburg).

As a soloist, she has worked with Hamburger Symphoniker and Thüringen Philharmonie and has sung under the baton of Sir Roger Norrington, Joshua Rifkin etc. Her opera roles include Paulina (“Pique Dame”), Orlofsky (“Die Fledermaus”), Mercedes (“Carmen”) among others.

She also specializes in German and French chansons, especially that of Zarah Leander, Edith Piaf and Marlene Dietrich.

As a resident member of Cantando Admont, Sorokina has performed in different festivals, including Klangspuren Schwaz 2017 (composer in residence — Sofia Gubaidulina) and Salzburger Festspiele 2018 (Zeit mit Furrer).

She also is interested in teaching and has taught master classes at Yale-NUS College in Singapore and

UC Davis.

Akmene is the new music director at Davis Lutheran Church. She studied organ with Hans-Ola Ericsson at the Schulich School of Music of McGill University in Montreal and theology and church music at the Luther Academy in Riga.

She also studied organ and piano at the Academy of Music, Dance and Fine Arts in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

She has attended masterclasses in performance, improvisation and choral conducting with wellknown teachers in Europe and Canada (e.g. Olivier Latry, Jürgen Essl and James O’Donnell).

She has participated in numerous concert series and festivals in Europe and Canada, including the XV

Latvian Festival of Song and Dance in Canada in Toronto. She has commissioned and premiered compositions by the Latvian composers Vineta Lice and Oskars Herlins.

Akmene has been working in churches for 10 years.

The previously scheduled April 19 concert is postponed until further notice.

All concerts in this series are free and open to the public — with free-will donations graciously accepted and may be made at davislc.org (scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the VANCO symbol). All proceeds will go toward supporting the music series.

‘The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind’ inspirational First-time director Chiwetel Ejiofor delivers a masterful fact-based drama

BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic Since many (most? all?) of us are housebound at the moment, and movie theater screens will remain dark for the near future, this is an excellent opportunity to investigate noteworthy options available solely via streaming platforms.

Unfortunately, absent a review such as this, you’d likely never know such films even exist. Said streaming outfits put all their publicity efforts and house ads into hot new shows and popular Hollywood product; “quieter” offerings aren’t even a blip on their radar — which is extremely frustrating.

“The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind,” a masterful directing and scripting debut by actor Chiwetel Ejiofor, was the British entry for last year’s Best International Film Academy Award, although it wasn’t selected as one of the five nominees recently vying for that Oscar.

(Frankly, it should have been.)

Ejiofor’s compelling and heartwarming adaptation of William Kamkwamba’s 2009 memoir is another vivid reminder that human inspiration and resourcefulness know no bounds, and that true stories can be more powerful than fabricated drama.

The setting is Malawi, a small southeastern African country bordered by Tanzania, Zambia and Mozambique. Even in the early 21st century, electricity and running water remain luxuries enjoyed by only 2 percent of the country’s population: a fortunate few that don’t include the farmers who eke out a living in the tiny village of Kasungu.

Trywell Kamkwamba (Ejiofor) and his family — wife Agnes (Aïssa Maïga), 13-year-old William

‘The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind’ Starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Maxwell Simba, Aïssa Maïga, Lily Banda, Lemogang Tsipa, Joseph Marcell, Philbert Falakeza Rating: PG, for dramatic intensity (Maxwell Simba), his older sister Annie (Lily Banda) and a newborn infant — farm harsh, unforgiving land in a manner that probably hasn’t changed for millennia, with folks forever worried about drought and beholden to infrequent rains.

What has changed is the influx of private businesses eager to exploit Kasungu’s natural resources, offering one-time cash payments to farmers willing to sell their land. To Trywell’s horror (and ours), many of his desperate neighbors do so, whereupon logging operations immediately begin to fell the trees that protect the village farms from flooding.

When a curious William follows the buzz of chainsaws, and witnesses the carnage, the impact is sickening.

This also fuels Trywell’s wary opinion of the National Unity Party, currently drumming up support for an upcoming presidential election, and likely in bed with those same rapacious corporations.

“Democracy is just like imported cassava,” he comments, Ejiofor giving this line a caustic sting. “It rots quickly.”

All this serves as the backdrop against which William is thrust suddenly into adulthood. We’ve already seen that he’s a talented tinkerer, scavenging electrical parts at the local dump, in order to help the family finances by repairing radios and cassette players. He’s also one of the lucky teens able to attend

COURTESY PHOTO

Having grown up in a village without running water, one of William’s (Maxwell Simba) frequent chores involves hauling up buckets of the precious liquid from the local well, so that his mother can prepare meals. the local school. Trywell and Agnes strongly believe in education (a mantra this film steadfastly maintains, but never stridently).

But even this blessing soon is threatened. Failing crops and rising famine devastate the village, prompting riots over government rationing — and worse.

The situation becomes dire, due to seasonal limitations: Crops can be planted only once each year due to the absence of rain during the punishing summer months.

Which makes William wonder: Could something alter that dynamic?

Simba is terrific in this role, granting William the perfect blend of inquisitive inspiration and stubborn determination, the latter increasingly necessary in the face of his father’s rapidly rising despair.

A third-act confrontation between father and son is powerful, with William struggling to mount a persuasive argument while remaining respectfully polite, as Ejiofor’s Trywell becomes impatiently dismissive.

This climaxes an evolving dynamic that Ejiofor

— as director and scripter — has carefully shaped during the course of his film. Despite the influx of Christianity, Malawi culture still clings to the old ways of magic and ritual.

This story opens with the colorful and wonderfully elaborate funeral for Trywell’s brother: a ceremony that blends both religions (a send-off that I’d love to receive when my time comes).

Ejiofor’s approach is always respectful and gently instructive. Numerous sidebar dramas enhance our understanding of these proud people, who honor tradition while (at least partly) accepting the intrusion of progress and science.

The village elder, Chief Wimbe (Joseph Marcell), chafes at his inability to prevent his people from selling out.

Annie is being courted clandestinely by Mr. Kachigunda (Lemogang Tsipa), William’s science teacher, because she knows her parents wouldn’t approve.

Trywell is particularly frustrated when his nephew — and new landlord — joins those selling their trees.

Ejiofer’s scenes with

Maïga are equally touching. Trywell and Agnes are deeply devoted to each other, and their comfortable warmth bespeaks a couple who have weathered numerous previous crises.

It’s therefore heartbreaking, as we slide into the third act, to see Agnes’ face transformed by mounting terror, particularly when she sees that Trywell — usually so calm and resolute — is surrendering to panic.

A quietly heartbreaking moment comes as dusk falls one evening when Agnes tells her son to stop studying because it’s too dark to read — and they cannot spare any kerosene for lamp light.

Throughout all this, we silently cheer William’s little victories: both in terms of his expanding scientific and mechanical expertise, and his determination to make his voice — his ideas — heard, and respected.

Simba makes him a marvelous young hero, while (and this is important) keeping the young man credibly grounded.

Cinematographer Dick Pope, previously Oscarnominated for 2006’s “The Illusionist” and 2015’s “Mr.

Turner,” favors the earth tones that amplify this often stark setting. His establishing shots are marvelous: none better than the vista which opens the film, with its procession of shamans striding regally through gloriously golden fields of corn, their heads barely visible above the swaying stalks.

Antonio Pinto’s understated score is all the more powerful, at times, for its subtlety.

Actors turned directors often are greeted with suspicion; for every Ben Affleck, Ron Howard and Clint Eastwood, we endure groan-inducing flops from Nicolas Cage, Eddie Murphy, William Shatner and even Marlon Brando.

But Ejiofor has nothing to worry about; “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind” is an excellent filmmaking debut, and a story that will resonate for generations.

It can be viewed via Netflix.

Picnic in the Park start Pride Festival postponed rescheduled to May 13 Special to The Enterprise

Special to The Enterprise The Davis Farmers Market announced Monday it will delay the start of Picnic in the Park until at least May 13.

The decision to postpone the extended Wednesday evening hours is prompted by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recommendation on Sunday to eliminate public gatherings of more than 50 people for a minimum of eight weeks, to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. On Monday, President Trump

said the same for gatherings of 10 or more.

Meanwhile, the Davis Farmers Market remains open as an essential quick stop for healthy, immuneboosting foods. It will maintain its Winter Market hours of 3 to 6 p.m.

Wednesdays. It’s open yearround on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The market is in Central Park, 301 C St. As an open-air market that’s accessible for three to five hours twice a week, it’s easier to maintain disinfecting practices,

organizers say. Samples have been eliminated, and additional safety measures are in place. Patrons are encouraged to shop with their eyes first and maintain safe social distancing from others.

Most food sold at the market travels less than 100 miles and is handled by few people. Local farmers and sellers rely on this direct-toconsumer outlet for the core of their income.

Check for updates on davisfarmersmarket.org, or visit its Facebook page.

The sixth annual Davis Pride Festival, originally scheduled for Sunday, May 17, is postponed. For a new date, organizers are considering a Sunday in September or October.

The decision to delay the event is prompted by public health officials’ guidance on preventing spread of the novel coronavirus. The move follows steps recommended to organizers of large public gatherings to ensure the health of the larger community.

Davis Pride Director Sandré Nelson noted it’s important to prevent the spread of misinformation as well.

“As a community that has lived through the stigma of the AIDS crisis, we stand together in denouncing the stigmatizing of our Asian fellows, and discourage the promotion of fear and disinformation.

We encourage staying informed, safe and

continuing to let love win.”

The Davis Phoenix Coalition produces the Davis Pride Festival, held in past years at Davis’ Central Park. It includes a fun run and culminates with a festival of music, food and support for the LGBTQ+ community. This year’s theme is “2020: Through the Lens of Courage.”

For updates, or to become a volunteer, sponsor or vendor for the fall event, visit www.davispride.org or the Davis Pride Facebook page.

Davis Pride is produced by Davis Phoenix Coalition, a nonprofit that works to foster diversity, eliminate intolerance, prevent hate-motivated violence and support LGBTQ+ youths. The coalition was founded in the aftermath of a 2013 antigay attack on Davis resident “Mikey” Partida. Proceeds from Davis Pride support the coalition’s anti-bullying campaigns, and outreach with area police departments, churches and schools.

Concerts called off Artists announced for clay exhibit for several weeks Enterprise staff

BY JEFF HUDSON Enterprise staff writer Many concerts scheduled in the next few weeks have been canceled or postponed indefinitely, owing to the COVID-19 virus situation.

The Mondavi Center is canceling all remaining public events for the 2019– 20 season. Staff members are in the process of contacting ticket holders for the affected performances.

They have closed the ticket office windows but will continue to communicate via phone and email.

The American Bach

Soloists have canceled their March 30 program in Davis.

The Chamber Music Society of Sacramento has canceled its March and April concerts at Congregation Bet Haverim in Davis.

A late March concert planned by the Davis High School Baroque Ensemble (which was to feature violin star Rachel Barton Pine), has been canceled.

And Davis-born cellist Eunghee Cho has postponed the planned April 11 concert featuring his cello quartet Holes in the Floor.

The California Clay Competition exhibit has announced its accepted artists.

Sponsored by The Artery and held in conjunction with the California Conference for the Advancement of Ceramic Art (sponsored by the John Natsoulas Gallery in Davis), the exhibition will feature 40 pieces from 37 artists, selected by juror Scott Parady.

The exhibit is planned for May 1 to 31 at The Artery, 207 G St. in Davis.

Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, noon to 5 p.m.

Sundays and until 9 p.m. Fridays.

The opening reception is from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, May 1, with the awards announced at 8 p.m.

Monetary and gift awards will be selected after works are in the gallery.

Juror Scott Parady got his master’s in fine arts from Penn State University and is a ceramics professor at Sacramento State University. Most of the works that Parady creates are hand-built by pinching clay while

working slowly on a potter’s wheel as opposed to the traditional throwing method. He then fires the work in his Anagama wood fire kiln. Parady began this hand-building technique because he started to dig his own clay in the late 1990s.

The accepted artists for 2020 include Natalie Black and Grace Tuthill of Davis; Zoe Dufour of Woodland; and Julie Clements, Deborah Pittman and Alberto Lozano Ruvalcaba of Sacramento, among others from throughout California.

A gift of good taste Dear Annie: I have a gift-giving question for you. My son and daughter-in-law were divorced several years ago. They share custody of my grandson, and I see him often. My ex-daughter-in-law has gone on to remarry and, last year, had another son. I remain friendly with her and her new husband and saw them all this past Christmas and gave both my grandson and his new brother gifts. My question is about Valentine’s Day. I plan to give my grandson a card and gift, as usual, sent to my son’s address. Is it OK to give his little brother a card and a gift as well? I do not want to appear tacky or tasteless. Your advice is appreciated.

— A Question of Taste Dear Question of Taste: Giving a gift to your grandson’s little brother is very kind and thoughtful. Nothing tacky or tasteless about it.

——— Dear Annie: When my husband and I moved to Gettysburg, we found ourselves having lots of guests. One way to not feel “used and abused” is to ask guests to make themselves at home in your kitchen and surprise you with dinner one evening — their menu choice, their ingredients.

It’s amazing how often they “make” reservations for the group at a local restaurant!

— Enjoy Those Guests Dear Enjoy Those Guests: What a funny suggestion, albeit a little passive-aggressive. Why not just suggest that you all go out?

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below.

condition I suspected is exactly what she popped out with. Also, my brother is an MD and he has told me that my husband should see a neurologist ASAP. The problem is that my husband won’t see a doctor, and, even if he did, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t tell them what’s really going on. He denies the symptoms that I’ve seen. I’m not the only one who has noticed. Without naming the disease, I’ve told him I’m worried and said that I know he’d feel bad if the shoe were on the other foot, but he won’t make the appointment.

I am worried and feel like I can’t talk openly with anyone about it. If he does have the disease, it’s incurable and terminal and, from what I’ve read, there are no treatments that can slow its progression — yet. But I still feel like knowing would allow us to prepare. Is there anything I can do either to get my husband to the doctor or to find my own peace? My friend said she sees this all the time and there’s nothing to do but wait until my husband has a serious fall or accident. It feels terrible to wait for that.

— Worried Wife Dear Worried Wife: I am so sorry that you are going through this. Seeing your loved one suffer is heartbreaking.

Your initial instinct to want to have him take care of himself is the most natural one in the world. His instinct to run away and avoid knowing what is wrong is also a natural one that comes from fear. Now that you know that both of your instincts are natural and fair, it’s time for next steps.

Sit him down and have a heart-toheart with him, but don’t tell him that you have been Googling around and playing doctor. Rather, tell him how much you love him and that you are afraid to lose him. Tell him that you will support him in whatever the doctor says but that you would really like him to see a doctor — if not for himself, then for you, the love of his life. If that fails, ask your brother, a medical doctor, if he can help persuade your husband to see a neurologist. Best of luck to you and your family.

——— Dear Annie: Four years ago, I kissed my wife goodnight, and we went to sleep as usual. The next morning, she told me that she wasn’t feeling like herself and wanted to spend the day with her friends. Later that evening,

If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. All checks payable to Prestige Default Services.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you

she called to say that she would not be coming home until she was able to figure things out, including if she still wanted to be married and a mother to our 10-year-old daughter.

I tried my best to be supportive, hoping that some personal time would help. In the 12 years that we had been together, we both shared that each of us considered the other our soulmates.

— Betrayed by Soulmate Dear Betrayed by Soulmate: I am so sorry that your wife left you and your daughter. We will never know exactly why she did what she did, but what you can control is how you react to what she did. Now is the time to step into your personal power, if not for yourself, then for your daughter.

Counseling or support groups can be very helpful at this time, especially for your daughter. You have to be mother and father for her, and that is a big ask, but you can do it with help from others who have survived similar challenges.

Prioritizing Health Checkups Dear Annie: I lost my wife to cancer two weeks ago after a two-year battle, with surgery and radiation treatments. I just saw a story on the news about how, in America, fewer and fewer people are getting regular wellness checks. There are a variety of reasons why. I ask that you implore your large readership to get annual checkups, especially related to cancer.

My wife put off the doctor’s appointment for months thinking her jaw pain was related to her teeth. Unfortunately, it turned out to be cancer.

Please stress to readers that their chance of getting cancer at some point in their lives is 50%. Yes, that’s right. Flip a coin.

I, myself, was diagnosed with cancer in 2018. I lost my left kidney (and then the cancer spread). I, too, thought that I was in good health, and in November 2016, skipped getting the blood test with for my wellness checks. That may have caught the abnormal red blood count and diameter readings before it spread.

What’s the chance two people in the same house get diagnosed with cancer in the same year?

Grandpa Dear Regretful Husband: I know there are no words that can reach the painful place where you are. I am so sorry for your loss. I appreciate your reaching out with this plea to help others avoid the anguish you’re experiencing. You’ve encouraged me to schedule a checkup I’ve been putting off, and I’m sure your letter will have the same effect on people reading this.

——— Dear Annie: I have noticed over the last five or so years, people have started addressing others as “Hun,” “Sweetie,” or “Sweetheart” almost everywhere you go.

At first, that sounds endearing and pleasant, but these people are strangers to me. For example, the checkout person, the waiter, the waitress, the receptionist on the phone at the doctor’s office often address me as “Hun” or “Sweetheart.” I am 52 years old, and these people are about 30. It feels awkward and inappropriate. I understand it has become trendy, and I can mostly ignore it in those instances.

What I can’t seem to ignore is when my girlfriend of 30+ years chose to start addressing me this way a few years ago.

We are very close in age. So it is unclear to me why she thinks it is appropriate to call me “Hun” or “Sweetheart” etc. To me, it feels condescending with patronizing superiority (and I am not as insecure as that might sound).

I run it through my mind on how to ask her to stop doing it, and it comes out wrong. I know I will sound upset if I confront her, and she will reply with something like: “Oh, Babe, what’s the matter with you, Sweetheart?” I hear her talk to her daughter that way.

We have a long history together and get together as couples with other friends. It feels impossible to cut her out of my life, and believe me, I have tried.

We live in different states now, and she and her husband will be visiting us soon.

How would you handle this?

— Long History of Good Times Dear Long History: Simple: Be honest with your friend. Make it about your feelings, not her offenses; tell her pet names are a pet peeve of yours and that you’d really appreciate it if she could try to stop. Might it be a little uncomfortable for a few minutes? Maybe. But your long history of good times is worth too much to throw away so hastily.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE — FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 2020

Which sports movie reigns supreme?

BY KIM ORENDOR Enterprise staff writer Usually, at this time of year, with great hope people are following their brackets for the NCAA March Madness hoops tournament.

With the event’s cancellation — thank you novel coronavirus — fans are left scouring the Internet for quizzes to determine their Disney spirit animal and proper house at Hogwarts.

There have been a few “Fast Food Brackets” circulating in various social media sites as well.

So, in the heart and humor of the season, let me introduce this newspaper’s March Sports Movie Madness Tournament.

The 64 films were picked based on numerous “bestof” lists and seeded according to their average placing on lists.

However, there is one exception. In the Gridiron Division, “Rudy” was listed as the top football movie on several sites but the latenight sports editorial board could not abide by this atrocity and knocked it down a couple pegs.

The bracket is divided into four divisions: Cager, Gridiron, Diamond and Open.

And while each has the expected top five, a few Cinderella movies — including the aptly titled “Cinderella Man” — have made the roll call, which should make things even more interesting. The occasional documentary also was tossed in to represent a conference tournament upset.

The Diamond Division caused the most discussion as baseball dominates sports movies. Narrowing it down to 16 wasn’t so easy Taking the No. 1 seed is “Bull Durham,” which faces “Sugar,” while “The Bad News Bears” — seeded second — takes on “Fear Strikes out.”

The often-quoted “Field of Dreams” was selected No. 3 and takes on “The Rookie.”

This could be a close battle as fans have trouble distinguishing between Kevin Costner and Dennis Quaid.

include, “The Sandlot” versus “42,” “The Natural” and “61*,” “Moneyball” meets “Bang the Drum Slowly,” “Major League” goes against “The Pride of the Yankees” and “A League of Their Own” goes head-to-head with “Eight Men Out.” In the Cager Division, “White Men Can’t Jump” was the top movie, while “Hoosiers” came in at No. 2.

The Ron Shelton comedy/ drama takes on Lil Bow Wow in “Like Mike,” while the storied Gene Hackman drama faces off against Michael J. Fox in “Teen Wolf.”

Additional match-ups include, “Love & Basketball” versus “Fastbreak,” “Space Jam” against “Hoop Dreams,” “Blue Chips” is challenged by “Finding

Forrester,” “He Got Game” versus “The Basketball Diaries,” “Coach Carter” versus “The Air Up There” and “Glory Road” meets “Above the Rim.” For a sport known for tough guys, the Girdiron Division is full of tearjerkers. A number of these movies pull on the heart strings, making them some of the tourney’s emotional favorites — maybe not the best feature films but ones you just have to pick because, well, because ...

Coming in at No. 1 is the 1974 version of “The Longest Yard.” This memorable Burt Reynolds vehicle takes on Tom Cruise in “All the Right Moves” in an epic firstround showdown. The No. 2-seeded “Remember the Titans” takes on “Varsity

Blues,” two very different looks at high-school players.

The unlikely football player, “Rudy” — a disappointing third seed to some — takes on the unlikely reincarnation of a football player in “Heaven Can Wait.” The remake of 1941’s “Here Comes Mr. Jordan” stars Warren Beatty.

The Nos. 8 and 9 seeds feature the rough and tumble as “Invincible” takes on “The Last Boy Scout.”

Additional throw-downs include “Undefeated” versus “The Replacements,” “Brian’s Song” against “We Are Marshall,” “The Blind Side” versus “Knute Rockne: All-American” and “Friday Night Lights” favored over “Any Given Sunday.”

The Open Division was created to bring in those

sports movies that capture viewers’ imaginations, but the actual sport doesn’t have enough movies to warrant its own division.

Similar sports or genres have been grouped together.

Coming in at No. 1 was “Slap Shot,” which takes on the Flying V of “The Mighty Ducks.” The winner will take on the victor of the “Seabiscuit” vs. “McFarland, USA.” “Raging Bull,” the No. 2 seed, battles “Cinderella Man,” with the winner taking on the one left standing between “Rocky” and “Million-Dollar Baby.”

In the Olympic subdivision, “Cool Runnings” takes on “Miracle,” while “Eddie the Eagle” looks to avoid trouble from “I, Tonya.”

The cult-classic “Caddyshack” goes up against

“Tin Cup,” and “Bend it like Beckham” takes the pitch against “Invictus.”

In mock tournament results, the Final Four has featured “Hoosiers,” “Remember the Titans,” “42” and “Cool Runnings,” with the Jamaican’s bobsled team pulling off the win (spoiler: unlike its Olympic venture.)

In the case that all No. 1 seeds reach the Final Four, “Remember the Titans” edged “White Men Can’t Jump” in the final play to reach the title game, and while “Bull Durham” was waxing poetic, “Slap Shot” sent him home early.

In the title tilt, Paul Newman’s eyes and the Hanson Brothers (not the “MMMBop” ones) are too much for the competition and skate away with the title.

A game that may bring baseball back W

atching a baseball game with my son — especially since I’m old and my “kid” is an avid adult product of the game’s modern era — had been one of my great pleasures. Then we got this cancellation of all things sports.

My son and I often have those who-was-better discussions …

“I saw Willie Mays play. Believe me, son, Mike Trout is no Willie Mays.”

I wonder aloud why it takes 3:40 to play a 4-2, nine-inning game: “You know, Warren Spahn could get you in and out in less than two hours. Even when he was 42 years old and winning 20.”

Steroids?

“If being on hot dogs and beer counts, then, yes … Babe Ruth juiced.”

With all this COVID-19 going on, I wondered if Nick or some of my friends have fallen back on video games, especially baseball, since it’s the season. I began a conversation with my 32-year-old son with the wrong lead-in: “You know, when I was a kid …”

I started, watching Nick’s eyes roll into the back of his head.

He had no idea what was coming.

“I invented a baseball game with two decks of playing cards. I must have played it every baseball season for hours a day.”

My son’s look urged me to change the subject.

“Humor me,” I pleaded. “Let’s play a game.”

No response.

“Please. It won’t take 15, 20

minutes. I haven’t played since the early 1960s.”

He agreed. At the dining room table, as I shuffled, I gave him some history.

■ I played 154-game schedules (yes, it was that long ago).

■ I was the Milwaukee Braves, taking on an exact schedule of my guys each year from 1957 to 1962.

■ Cumulative team batting averages would fall between .245ish to a record-high .302 season.

■ I remember the Braves winning 102 games one season, then going 70-84 another.

“Can we just deal?” he asked.

“Get a scorebook,” I told him.

We made our lineups, including starting pitchers, and off we went.

We played his current A’s versus my boys, the 1957 worldchampion Braves.

First game he won, 7-4.

“Want to play another?” he asked. !!!!!!!!

Other than his and his sister’s births, this was my finest hour.

As we wrote our lineups for the rematch, he objected: “Spahn can’t pitch two games in a row.”

Fine. In went Lew Burdette. So proud: He was caught up in this.

The second contest was a

mismatch. Billy Bruton homered twice and Eddie Mathews drove in four in an 11-1 Milwaukee victory. Game time: 0:41. And there was a nice box score in my book to remind my kid just how good that ’57 squad was.

My little baseballcard game hit my brain about five years before Strat-O-Matic Baseball (1961) hit the store shelves.

I remember how much fun I had with it. How rainouts came about (ever spill a drink at your desk?), who had the highest single-season batting average (Frank Torre, .388) and the most homers (Hank Aaron’s 57 came three years before Roger Maris clocked 61).

I know, as you sit sequestered by the virus, you’re dying to know how the game was played, how the players’ abilities were weighed, etc. The beauty of this game is you can play alone and it will save you $800 on a PlayStation and a collection of video games. Pay attention: ■ Get two decks of playing cards.

■ Keep three of the four jokers.

■ Shuffle both decks together, thoroughly.

(Have you made out your lineups? Make sure you have two teams of your favorite players in the scorebook.)

■ Each card counts as a play, and, after each play, enter the “action” next to the corresponding batter in your scorebook.

■ After every three innings of regulation, shuffle the cards again.

The values are straightforward, and after playing your first home stand, you will remember what each card means.

Here’s what each card does: ■ All aces and deuces are strikeouts.

■ Each red 5 is a walk.

■ Each black 3, 4, 5 or 6 is a groundout to those positions (except the 5 of spades, which are stolen bases: every runner moves up); each red card of those four is a popout (except red fives, remember). A club 3, 4, 5 or 6 moves existing base runners up 90 feet while throwing the hitter out at first.

■ Each 7 (except the 7 of spades), 8 or 9 is a flyout. A club in any of those 7, 8 or 9s becomes a sacrifice fly if there is a runner at third and fewer than two outs.

The 7 of spades is a triple.

■ All 10s are singles, jacks are singles, black queens are singles, red queens are doubles, all kings are groundouts with no base-runner advance (pick which fielder you want to credit for these rollouts). If a 10, jack or queen of clubs comes up, runners advance two bases on the hit.

■ And those three jokers?

They’re outta here! Adios, pelota! Jokers are homers.

(Note: You don’t want your Punch-and-Judy players doing better than the top of your lineup.

For the bottom three hitters, if they are dealt jokers, they have to work for the HR. You have to guess the suit of the next card. If you don’t, that batter gets a double and that second card doesn’t count. If you guess the suit, the homer stands.)

There also are byproducts of this card game …

■ You can practice being a playby-play announcer.

■ During these uncertain times, you have something to do.

■ You can hone your scorekeeping skills while improving your penmanship.

■ In keeping updated stats, your math skills grow.

■ And if you’re a fan of the past, you can bring the Old Days back to life.

The more you play this game, the less you’ll want to return to work when it is safe. Play ball!
