Living through COVID-19 Officials County’s first patient details chaotic days

BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer Davis resident Marilyn Stebbins had been hospitalized for three days when physicians at the UC Davis Medical Center informed her on March 4 that she was positive for COVID-19.

Two days later, Yolo County public health officer Dr. Ron Chapman held a press conference announcing her as the county’s first confirmed case.

After eight days in the intensive care unit, Stebbins was discharged from the hospital. She has since completed her recovery while in quarantine at her home in Davis. On Thursday, Stebbins’ account of her illness and recovery was published by UC San Francisco School of Pharmacy, where Stebbins works as a clinical pharmacist and faculty member.

The firsthand account offers a window into her experience with the virus and her encounters with the health care system. It raises questions about Yolo County’s handling of its first coronavirus case.

From Idaho to the ICU “Life was normal for me as I planned a short ski vacation at the end of February,” Stebbins wrote. “I’m a healthy, fit, 58-year-old woman who enjoys distance trail running, weekly

Davis resident Marilyn Stebbins was Yolo County’s first confirmed case of COVID-19. circuit training and Pilates.”

Before the ski trip she ran a 30-kilometer trail race. She planned to run a 50K a few weeks later.

Before leaving for her trip, Stebbins had no known exposure to anyone with a confirmed case of COVID-19. On Feb. 22, she had some slight cold symptoms which she treated with zinc and elderberry syrup. California’s statewide shelter-in-place order was still nearly a month away.

On Feb. 23, Stebbins and her husband Charlie flew from Sacramento to Spokane, Wash., via San Diego. They waited an hourand-a-half in the Spokane airport for her brother-in-law, Norbert Chu. The three of them rented a car and drove to their family vacation home in Sandpoint, Idaho.

Stebbins skied for five to six hours at Schweitzer Mountain Resort each of the next two days.

“While I felt fatigued, it was

more muscle fatigue from overuse and exertion,” Stebbins wrote. Throughout her stay in Idaho, Stebbins was in close contact with her husband and brother-in-law, she said.

On the afternoon of Feb. 26, the last day of skiing, Stebbins told her husband and brotherin-law that her lungs were burning a little. “I chalked it up to the cold air and altitude, and to our intense skiing,” Stebbins wrote.

She had no appetite that night, which she said was unusual.

On the way to the Spokane airport early the next morning, Stebbins was hit with a bout of urgent diarrhea and nausea. “I thought I might have food poisoning,” she wrote. The diarrhea continued throughout her trip back to Davis and into the next day. She had a headache but no fever or vomiting.

On Thursday, Feb. 27, Stebbins went to her local nail salon for a manicure. “My manicurist always wears a mask,” she wrote.

crack down on crowds

“I did not. I was not coughing at this time.”

The following day, Stebbins woke with chills and body aches.

She had developed a dry cough and her lungs burned when she took a deep breath. She thought she might have the flu.

Her primary-care physician at UC Davis Health asked if she had traveled to China or Europe or had contact with anyone known to have coronavirus.

Stebbins said she hadn't, but added that she had traveled by air within the past week. Her doctor advised her to get a chest X-ray at her local emergency department.

At the Sutter Davis Hospital ED, Stebbins was asked the same screening questions and gave the same answers. “Neither the intake staff members in the ED nor the physician assistant whom I ultimately saw were wearing personal protective equipment,” she wrote.

The chest X-ray showed multifocal pneumonia. Her vital signs were stable. She was prescribed a 10-day course of amoxicillin and a five-day course of azithromycin. She was given a mask, told to stay away from people until she felt better, and advised to make an appointment with her physician within the next week as her pneumonia was extensive. She tested negative for influenza.

Over the weekend, her symptoms worsened. “When I experienced shortness of breath, I coughed and became very weak and nauseated,” Stebbins wrote.

“I sounded terrible, and I felt

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Stay at home, people. If you must go out, keep your distance already.

That’s the message the Davis Police Department — and law-enforcement agencies countywide — issued Friday afternoon after getting slammed with complaints about social-distancing violations in recent days.

“We’re receiving more complaints about people using playground equipment, tennis courts, basketball courts, and not adequately spacing when riding or walking on greenbelts,” creating potential coronavirus breeding grounds, Police Chief Darren Pytel said.

In some cases, people have ripped down yellow caution tape in order to use the blocked-off facilities, while more middle- and high-school aged kids are grouping up in parks.

Between emails and calls to dispatchers, the complaints have numbered a dozen or more per day, with some demanding stronger enforcement action for the rule breakers, Pytel said.

This week’s springlike weather was the likely culprit, and “we know that

St. John’s ‘working around the clock’ to contain outbreak

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Every hour of every day is focused on stopping the coronavirus outbreak from spreading at the St. John’s Retirement Village in Woodland, according to St. John’s chief executive officer.

“We have never encountered an ‘enemy’ like COVID-19, and St. John’s staff is working around the clock to contain this virus,” CEO Sean Beloud said in a message posted to the community’s website on Friday.

Clinicians at UC Davis Health and other hospitals in the U.S., Europe, Canada and Japan, who are conducting the first trial of the antiviral therapy remdesivir to treat COVID19, are seeing early signs of promise.

“Nearly two-thirds of severely ill patients hospitalized with COVID-19 who received remdesivir on a compassionate-use basis improved, with no new concerns about safety reported during the short clinical study,” UC Davis Health announced Thursday in a press release.

Remdesivir is a broad-spectrum antiviral that has been tested in humans with Ebola and in animals

31 staff members in St. John’s skilled nursing facility — the Stollwood Convalescent Hospital — have tested positive for the virus, according to the state Department of Public Health.

Of the 261 nursing facilities in the state with at least one case of COVID-19, only four have more affected staff members than St. John’s.

Briefly Motorcyclist hurt in I-80 crash A motorcyclist suffered broken bones and other injuries in a crash Saturday afternoon on westbound Interstate 80 in Davis, according to the California Highway Patrol and Davis Fire Department.

Emergency personnel began receiving reports at about 2:45 p.m. about the collision, which caused the motorcyclist to be thrown from his bike and roll several times in the traffic lanes. It was not clear whether it was a solo crash.

Davis fire officials said crews arrived to find the motorcyclist with multiple broken bones and severe road rash, but he was conscious and able to communicate. He was transported to the UC Davis Medical Center for treatment.

There’s social distance on the links E ver since this Great Disruption to our daily lives has been demanded of us by state and local authorities, I’ve been on board with the idea of erring on the side of caution. Being safe rather than sorry. Washing my hands and offering prayers with equal frequency and fervor.

Dramatically so, really.

I now jog on the soft rug of the living room floor instead of around the block, sing in the shower instead of at church, and bank online for the first time ever.

I applaud the folks at Nugget for requiring all customers to wear a face mask, no matter what that might mean for the bottom line.

I mean, this coronavirus doesn’t sound like anything I’d like invading my body or anyone else’s.

And yet, I realize even the most well-meaning people want to get outside and move around, especially as winter turns to spring and Northern California is at its beautiful, charming best.

I noted the other day that Yolo County has closed all golf courses, while Sacramento County says golfers can shoot birdies and bogeys and replace divots to their heart’s content.

Most counties, however, have locked up their tennis courts, arguing that this is not an “essential” activity. Neither is buying a six-pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon, but

he plain fact is that when it comes to our fear of someone spreading or catching the virus, golf is an extremely lowrisk activity. Especially if you carefully monitor the parking lot, the practice green, the driving range and either ban carts or allow only one person per cart. Plus make all golfers bring their own beverages and snacks.

On the golf course there is far less chance of close contact with other human beings than there is on a five-minute trip to the grocery store.

Some folks golf alone or in twosomes, but more often than not you’re talking about a foursome.

Even four players on the same

hole at the same time is simply not a problem.

It’s easy for the other players to stand far away when someone is teeing off. In fact, even in the best of circumstances, it’s best to stand far away when someone is teeing off.

Some of the longer holes on a golf course can run to as many as 500 yards. Even the shortest are rarely less than 150 yards. That’s 30 yards longer than a football field from goal post to goal post.

Plus, golf courses are generally tucked far away from the general public.

The four shots from four players off the tee rarely land within 6 feet of each other. Thus, each player ends up walking down the fairway alone.

Once all four balls are safely on the green, it would easy to amend the rules slightly to let one player finish the hole before another player takes his place on the green.

Bottom line: if you saw four people walking leisurely on a wide open patch of grass, keeping a safe distance from one another, you’d think nothing of it.

The fact that they’re all carrying a bag of sticks while they walk should make no difference.

For heaven’s sake, let them play golf.

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer For the second time in four months, West Sacramento police are investigating a shooting that took a teenager’s life.

The 17-year-old male, whose name had not been released by Yolo County coroner’s officials as of Saturday afternoon, suffered a fatal gunshot wound to his chest shortly before midnight in the area of Todhunter Avenue and Somerset Drive, police Sgt. Eric Angle said.

However, it was another shooting — a block or so away at a Sacramento Avenue trailer park — that was first reported to officers. In that incident, a man in his 20s was struck by a bullet

that had entered his trailer, according to Angle.

As officers were en route to that scene, they received additional reports of the gunfire on Todhunter Avenue. The subsequent investigation revealed that the man inside the trailer was struck by a stray bullet from the fatal shooting, Angle said.

The teen died at an area hospital, while the second victim sustained injuries that Angle said were critical but not life-threatening.

Police had not identified a suspect or a motive for the shooting as of Saturday, though the investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Yolo County Dispatch Center at 916372-3375.

nobody has suggested closing any of our many liquor stores.

Indeed, tennis and golf are not “essential” activities. But with very minimal risk, they can provide substantial benefits for one’s physical and mental health.

Tennis, interestingly, is a game that has practiced social distancing since its inception well over a century ago.

The game involves two players, separated by a three-and-a-halffoot high net. The players are at all times on opposite sides of a court that is 78 feet long and 27 feet wide.

The playing surface is actually longer and wider than that given that players are allowed to play from well behind the baseline at either end of the court and frequently run well beyond the sideline while chasing a ball.

But wait, I forgot. The rules of the game require players to shake hands at the end of a match, so I guess the entire activity must be banned.

Golf, on the other hand, is pretty much akin to a walk in the park. Generally a beautiful park at that.

If ever there were a game suited to social distancing, it’s golf. Even more so than tennis.

The problem here is golf is a pastime that has long been associated with elite private country clubs generally populated by wellheeled Republicans.

As distressing as that stereotype may be to the average Davisite, it has nothing to do with whether or not golf should be allowed under the current rules our local leaders have formulated to deal with this unwelcome pandemic.

School board hears reports on online instruction

BY JEFF HUDSON Enterprise staff writer The Davis school board heard an extensive staff report about the district’s two-week transition from traditional classroom instruction to the present era of online instruction when the trustees gathered on Thursday evening.

And the board also heard a number of complaints from high school juniors and seniors, who are not happy about the school district’s decision to assign “pass/ not pass� grades for coursework this spring — the students are worried that this will put them at a competitive disadvantage in terms of college admission, which often relies in part on a prospective student’s grade point average.

Superintendent John Bowes noted that the Davis district closed all schools on March 13 (due to the coronavirus situation), and resumed instruction on an online basis on April 13. “We

are still in the transition period,�

Bowes said. And the transition involves quite a few adjustments for teachers and students, since “the virtual learning environment does not lend itself to direct replication of brick-and-mortar classrooms,� the superintendent added.

Chief budget officer Bruce Colby reported that the school district’s student nutrition program has been providing over 800 school meals per day. Colby said that these are “grab-and-go meals� that are available Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Marguerite Montgomery Elementary, Frances Harper Junior High, Patwin Elementary, and the parking lot on Oak Avenue behind the All Student Center at Davis High School. These free meals are provided to all children age 18 and under, whether or not they are students in the Davis Joint Unified School District.

Technology director Marcia Bernard reported that her department had checked out “over 1,600 Chromebooks (laptop computers)� to students who do not have an adequate computer available at home, and has also checked out about 175 internet hot spots to households without an online data connection, so the students from those households can participate in online distance learning from the present time through the end of the school year in June.

Student services director Laura Juanitas said that school counselors and other student support staff are contacting students who did not participate in distance learning instruction during the past week, when it became available.

Associate Superintendent Rody Boonchouy thanked the school district staff for working hard on the transition to online instruction. “Over the course of two

weeks, we have redesigned public education as we (traditionally) know it,� he said, while maintaining a “very methodical and thoughtful� approach to the school district’s curriculum standards and goals.

Grades Given the present circumstances, the school district has adopted a “pass/no pass� approach to rating student performance, which Boonchouy described as “the right approach,� and he added that this pass/no pass approach has been adopted by many school districts, as well as campuses in the University of California and California State University systems.

However, a number of students — typically high school juniors and seniors (and their parents) — sent the school board messages urging the Davis district to switch back to traditional letter grades,

expressing the concern that the pass/no pass evaluations for Davis students seeking college admission will drag down their weighted grade-point average and leave them at a competitive disadvantage against students from private schools in California, and students from out of state, who continue to get letter grades. “Moving to this system will benefit our staff and students without negative consequences for students with collegiate aspirations,� Bowes said in a message to students on April 10, when announcing the move. “Universities across the nation, including the University of California and California State University systems, have made it clear that students will not be penalized for missing traditional standardized tests or for posting pass/no pass transcripts for this semester.� — Reach Jeff Hudson at jhudson@davisenterprise.net or 530747-8055.

Sports complex on council agenda Supervisors to consider relief for hoteliers

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer An economic analysis for a sports complex, an extension of the city’s affordable housing ordinance and an update on fire department operations are among the items on the Tuesday’s Davis City Council agenda.

In keeping with the council’s previously stated goal of moving forward on nonCOVID-19 city matters during the local emergency, the council will meet Tuesday — via video conferencing — to tackle previously scheduled matters unrelated to the novel coronavirus.

The council also will resume ceremonial presentations, albeit virtually, with three proclamations being presented on the topics of Earth Day 2020; the Big Day of Giving; and Child Abuse Prevention Month.

For the sports complex item, the council will receive a presentation on the first phase of the Sports Complex Economic and Financial Analysis and provide

direction to staff on exploring and evaluating a future sports park.

The item continues ongoing discussion dating back four years when a task force was formed to assess the needs of Davis children and adults who actively participating in sports organizations in the city. The task force identified deficiencies in existing facilities needed for games, tournaments and practices.

On Tuesday the council will decide whether to move forward with analysis of the feasibility and cost of a hypothetical athletic field complex to meet the needs of youth and adult baseball; fast-pitch, slow-pitch, youth and adult softball; and soccer, lacrosse and cricket.

Also Tuesday, the council will consider extending the May 31 sunset date for the city’s affordable housing ordinance.

The extension — the third since November 2018 — would allow for more work on a permanent ordinance while still allowing the city to

approve multi-family development proposals with affordable housing plans of less than 35 percent.

Tuesday’s meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. and is accessible to the public four ways: ■Televised live on city of Davis Government Channel 16 (available to those who subscribe to cable television) ■Livestreamed online at https://cityofdavis.org/ city-hall/city-council/citycouncil-meetings/meetingvideos ■Via Zoom at https:// zoom.us/j/558842926 ■By phone at 1-669900-9128, Webinar ID: 558 842 926 Submit written public comments to CityCouncil Members@cityofdavis.org by 5 p.m. on Tuesday.

Submit comments by voice mail prior to and during the meeting on the city’s dedicated phone line 530-757-5693. Staff will play comments during the appropriate agenda item.

Speakers will be limited to no more than two minutes.

ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Yolo County supervisors will receive another COVID-19 update from county health officials on Tuesday and consider a resolution giving local hotels some relief from fees used to promote tourism in the county.

The board, which meets at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, will gather via Zoom conferencing once again with opportunities for public participation.

Currently businesses that provide lodging in the unincorporated county as well as in the cities of Davis, Winters and Woodland, are assessed a fee of 2 percent of gross room rental revenue. That money is forwarded to Visit Yolo, the hotel owners association, which provides marketing and public relations aimed at promoting local tourism.

Businesses subject to the assessment that are delinquent are charged an additional 10-percent penalty plus interest, and an

additional 10 percent if the delinquency continues past 30 days.

But given the sharp reduction in local tourism and hotel occupancy during the pandemic, local lodging businesses are facing “unprecedented financial pressures,� a resolution county supervisors will consider Tuesday notes.

That resolution would defer the collection of monthly and quarterly assessments during the course of the locally declared emergency and shelter in place.

Assessments would continue to be levied, but no penalties or interest would be assessed on any delinquency.

Hoteliers in the city of Davis previously received a break on the transit occupancy taxes they pay when the Davis City Council in late March voted to defer collection during the local emergency.

A few days later, the Visit Yolo Board of Directors requested that the county

defer all lodging assessment collections for the duration of the emergency as well.

Zoom participants can make a comment the “raise a hand� button. Those joining by phone can make a comment by pressing *9. The board chair will call on individual speakers by name or phone number and speakers will be limited to three minutes.

Comments may also be submitted by 5 p.m. on Monday by emailing clerkoftheboard@yolocoun ty.org.

What happens at home during Week 4?

“W e do everything differently,” one friend said. “We get up later, we eat earlier, we flop into bed at 10 p.m.”

I’m the opposite. I maintain my early wake-up, eat on my normal schedule and go to bed on time — or maybe 20 minutes early if I’m bored.

What has changed is the way I write this column.

In the past (meaning for 25 years preceding California’s March 19 order to stay at home), I would start early and produce a full draft at least three days before deadline. I used my lead time to let my thoughts percolate and to seek the advice of my husband-editor.

The first column I wrote after lockdown broke that pattern.

Describing my feelings as “scattered,” I wrote a column that was scattered, too, written late and jumping from idea to idea as I tried, with limited success, to settle my spirit.

Things calmed down after that as my husband and I worked out our new home lifestyle, but now, four weeks into homebound, my head doesn’t seem to be working right. I keep forgetting what I’m just about to do, or say, or think.

I’m dismayed by how easily my

thoughts scatter as if frightened by my shining a sudden light on them.

What’s going on?

———— First, I’m thinking about social norms. New ones. For example, I biked to a friend’s house to pick up an item she purchased for me and we stood talking 6 feet apart on her driveway for 10 minutes.

She wore a mask. I didn’t.

Something felt “not quite right” but I couldn’t put my finger on it until I biked away. Then it came to me: I should have asked her about wearing a mask.

I should have said, “Would you be more comfortable if I put my mask on?”

Or maybe there’s a way to phrase it so that she doesn’t have to admit to discomfort.

Or maybe I should just take responsibility and put on the damn mask.

————

Second, I’m thinking about haunting sights. New ones. I recently biked through the UC Davis campus past the Memorial Union. In my early 30s I worked in nearby Wellman Hall, and every day I joined the buzz at lunch time when students biked to the MU in vast numbers, political information tables popped up out of nowhere, and live music foretold a vibrant spring.

This year, spring is as green as ever, but I passed only six students. What I saw much more of was bicycles, many looking dilapidated with flat tires and twisted wheel rims, but some in bright colors and decent condition with strong locks affixing them to the numerous bike racks that ring the Memorial Union.

Passing the ARC (Activities and Recreation Center), I saw more bicycles. Parked. Silent.

Each one like a lonesome dog in an empty house awaiting the return of its owner.

What happened? Why did many students abandon their bikes? Was the order to go home more sudden than I realized, providing no time to find storage? Or did students leave their bikes behind because they believed they would be back in a

week or two? Fortunately, police patrols and video surveillance continue on the closed campus.

———— I didn’t visit other parts of UC Davis because I was fast approaching another marker of my scattered existence: the need to find a haven back home.

While some fret about toilet paper, I’m more concerned about what one does before using it.

I need to plan in a way I never did before. No more pausing in park facilities or at the library.

Buildings are shuttered. Where do you go when there’s nowhere to pee?

———— Finally, “scattered” means an inability to focus. One thought comes and then another and another so close together that I can’t remember the first one, even though I’m sure it was important.

I ask myself, “Which movie did my friend say was funny? “Did I write that email, or did I just think about it?” and “What am I supposed to do tomorrow?”

Some minutes of each day I feel lost, as if I have been asleep and awakened in another country where they speak a language unfamiliar to me. My growing tresses tell me I’ve been asleep a

long time. When I awake, the stories I hear are not fairy tales, but nightmares of death and loss.

How lucky I am to be safe and well-supplied and to have lost no one and yet, when I think of the cross country trips to see my children and grandchildren I had to cancel, I feel as if time itself is being stolen from me.

Gov. Newsom told us last Tuesday that life afterwards won’t be like life before. He mentioned fewer restaurant tables, split school days, and temperaturetaking.

What I want to know is, when will it be safe to fly to my grandchildren?

———— Maybe I cling tenaciously to my old daily schedule to fight the feeling of everything going crazy.

But what will happen when people go back to work, when we all leave our houses more often, increasing our risk of catching COVID-19? As a person who was dumb enough to injure my lungs, many years ago, by smoking, I feel vulnerable.

These days I am scattered because I am scared.

Perspective can be a really powerful medicine

BY CRAIG DRESANG Special to The Enterprise

M

y husband and I once lived in a Victorian-era house. It was an impressive assemblage of cypress, river rock, gables, gardens and stained glass that spanned three centuries.

In that house, we found a profound comfort that our grand clapboard host had absorbed decades of small joys, wakes, holidays and ordinary days. Without reservation, or even a flinch, she stood through the planet’s adversity: The Spanish-American War, two World Wars, a polio epidemic, the Great Depression and 9/11.

Today, that dear old painted lady seems equally unmoved by gun violence, economic downturns or COVID-19. In many ways, that house is a reflection of human existence and reality. Through waves of harsh conditions and situations, she is still standing, still beautiful, and still holding an important story.

A former hospice colleague and friend from Chicago recently shared a post on Facebook that grabbed my attention. It said, “Nothing should go back to normal. Normal was not working. If we go back to the way things were, we will have lost the lesson. May we rise up and do better.”

Packed into this simple four-sentence post was social confirmation that the coronavirus pandemic is tied to something bigger

YOLO HOSPICE & CWC than infection and death rates, living in relative isolation, and the race for a vaccine. It may, in fact, be the universe granting the world an opportunity to grow and evolve into something better, something more thoughtful and humane.

The idea that uncertainty and tragedy can also carry precious life-changing gifts is not a new concept for those who work in end-oflife care. What is new is an expanding consciousness that how we view, respond to, and allow ourselves to be changed by uncontrollable and lethal events says everything about who we are as people.

Deemed as essential, our 100 Yolo Hospice employees have chosen to continue showing up for work every day. Some are working remotely from home.

Some come into the office.

Most are making daily journeys from house to house and from hospital to nursing home in order to care for patients.

According to Gwendolyn Kaltoft, 70, who serves as Yolo Hospice’s chief of quality, compliance and organizational development, “The human culture thrives on connection. Our choice to show up to work every day is partially about our need to connect.”

The organization’s first request to admit coronavirus patients was met with

Gwendolyn Kaltoft, Yolo Hospice’s chief of quality, compliance and organizational development, has worked at Yolo Hospice for 18 years. She has been a nurse for five decades. a sense of duty and even bravery. One nurse immediately said, “Sign me up. I want to care for our COVID families.” Like everyone else in the world, our staff members are routinely managing their own waves of fear and stress.

But they are also drawing on their 1,000-plus years of collective wisdom and experience as they care for folks with a life-limiting illness.

According to Kaltoft, who holds a doctorate in higher education and has been a nurse for 50 years, “COVID is stimulating our consciousness in several ways. This virus is forcing us to be more mindful about communication in all of its forms. It is forcing us to work together in ways that have not been tested before in my lifetime.”

News of wars and school shootings have been replaced by a universal focus to protect and care for people in every nation.

Kaltoft says, “This virus is challenging our assumptions about how we live everyday life. It is forcing us to pay attention to how we treat the environment and how we treat one another. I believe this pandemic is increasing our national compassion index.”

When asked what she thinks history will say about the times we are living through right now, Kaltoft responds with a mischievous grin, “It depends on who is writing the history. Regardless, I believe we are witnessing the survival of the best qualities of the human spirit.”

Dr. Kristina Cade, 37, Yolo Hospice’s medical director, agrees. She says, “Now, more than ever, people are deeply appreciative of relationships and family ties. We are not taking simple things for granted. Going to the movies or out to eat are now seen as luxuries.”

The spirit of resilience is alive and well, according to Cade. “Every day we are finding new ways to adapt ... and we are learning things we never understood before. We are inventing workarounds for every aspect of our work and care,” she explains.

What is most striking to Cade is the uncertainty tied to this virus. It is unclear how COVID will ultimately impact our workplaces, our health and our own personal wealth. However, she believes the discord between state and federal policymakers is already leading to new long-lasting collaborations.

“The idea that California, Washington and Oregon are working together and developing a Western States Pact for the entire west coast to simultaneously reopen their economies and control COVID-19 is a profound example of collaboration and shared responsibility.”

Cade, an internal medicine specialist who is fellowship trained in palliative medicine, says, “Collaboration is not only useful, but necessary. Our own palliative care team has quickly learned telemedicine and telehealth, and they have gotten their patients up to speed with the use of technology. New ways of thinking have allowed us to better follow patients and increase efficiencies in care.”

Cade and Kaltoft both believe this pandemic will change the history of the

“Now, more than ever, people are deeply appreciative of relationships and family ties.

We are not taking simple things for granted. ” Kristina Cade Yolo Hospice’s medical director world. “It will change the way we communicate with each other and the way we work together,” according to Cade. “Hopefully, it will also change the World Health Organization’s approach to managing public health information and policy. Goodwill undoubtedly grows out of this situation.”

The perspectives shared by both Cade and Kaltoft remind me of a Tibetan saying that someone carved into the oak staircase of our previous 1800s house. It said, “Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength. No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful the experience is, if we lose our hope, that will be our real disaster.”

You have the time. Please support local “I

f I only had the time …”

But now you do. I suggest you use some of that time to set new habits that support our community. Before shopping on Amazon, check with a local retailer. Many storefronts have closed but the business owners are available by phone, email or online. Most would be delighted to put together an order for you.

I’ve benefitted from a pay-itforward program with friends and neighbors. After finding separate deliveries of rice, eggs, masks, an onion, and beer on my doorstep, I returned the favor to those people and more. I purchased beer from several local breweries and dropped it off at friends’ houses with some Easter candy. It was a fun way of spreading joy while supporting local businesses.

And if you plan well, your dollar will soon have an even greater impact. The Davis Downtown Business Association is spearheading an exciting new stimulus program with help from the city of Davis, for a combined pot of $50,000. DDBA is setting up a portal — scheduled to launch as early as Wednesday — where people can purchase a gift card to a downtown Davis business.

Each participating merchant would qualify for up to $1,000 in immediate matching funds.

For example, if you purchased a $100 gift card to the Avid Reader through this portal, you’d get that gift card, but the match would mean $200 for the bookstore. DDBA reapportioned funds from canceled events to boost this stimulus program, and the city came up with the other half. Look for details soon, and in my next column. Davis businesses that are part of the Downtown Business Improvement District are encouraged to enroll at https://davisdowntown. com/register-gsp/.

For the fifth week in a row, I offer a list of Davis food outlets that appear to be open for takeout or delivery. I confirm these each Thursday, either online or by phone. If you see a Davis restaurant I missed, email

FNB has COVID-19 support plan Marrone Bio announces Special to The Enterprise As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop, First Northern Bank’s top priority is the safety and well-being of its customers, employees and communities.

The bank has taken steps to ensure its branches and loan offices can remain open during this health crisis. Office hours have been reduced to 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays through Fridays (drive-up/walkup hours 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.); enhanced cleaning procedures published by national health officials have been adopted; and employees are practicing social-distancing. Customers have also been reminded of the available alternatives to branch banking such as mobile banking, banking by phone, online banking, ATMs and night depository.

In addition, First Northern has developed a COVID-19 Customer Support Plan designed to provide relief to those business and consumer customers financially impacted by the current crisis.

This includes communications regarding the safety and soundness of America’s banks (with FDIC insurance on deposit accounts up to $250,000, banks are the safest place for money).

Loan assistance will be provided for those impacted by COVID-19: ■ Late fees will be waived for qualifying

consumers, small businesses, commercial and agricultural loan customers for 60 days (may be extended if economic circumstances dictate). To qualify, the borrower must not be past due more than 30 days on any loan as of March 1; ■ Contact the Central Loan Department at 707-678-0226 for payment relief options; ■ Delinquencies resulting from impacts of COVID-19 will not be reported to the credit reporting agencies; and ■ There will be access to loan programs through I-Bank and the Small Business Loan Administration.

There will be deposit account assistance: ■ Overdraft/non-sufficient funds fees will be waived for all business and consumer customers for 60 days (may be extended if economic circumstances dictate); ■ Debit-card limits for most consumer clients will increase; ■ As a member of the MoneyPass ATM Network, deposit customers have access to surcharge-free ATMs at more than 50 locations; and ■ Early withdrawal charges will be waived for those wishing to withdraw funds from their CDs.

VCE customers can get rate discounts Special to The Enterprise No one expected to see days quite like this. And for some of us, it’s beginning to feel as though we’ll have a tough time keeping our heads above water as our economies and paychecks adjust to this pandemic.

That’s why Valley Clean Energy representatives want to be sure that local residents are aware of the discounted electricity programs PG&E offers to income-qualified customers, even those who are Valley Clean Energy customers.

For example, the Family Electric Rate Assistance discount from PG&E is open to all eligible customers of VCE. Those who qualify to enroll in the program could end up paying much less to stay warm through a chilly spring and cool this summer.

“We want to be sure that our customers know about this discount and take advantage of it if their income meets the requirements,” says Yolo County Supervisor Don Saylor, who chairs the VCE board of directors.

“The FERA discount is available to all eligible PG&E customers, including those who choose to receive service from a community choice energy program such as Valley Clean Energy,” adds Dan Carson, a Davis City Council member and VCE board vicechair.

FERA offers a monthly discount of 18 percent on

electricity for households with three or more people if they meet stated income guidelines. The discount remains in place for two years, and participants are reminded when it is time to renew.

FERA enrollment is done online; proof of income is not required

during the application process but PG&E will randomly select customers to provide such proof later.

new plant-health product

Special to The Enterprise Marrone Bio Innovations Inc., a Davisbased leader in sustainable bioprotection and plant health solutions, today announced that Pacesetter, a recently approved bio-based plant-health product, is now available to corn, soybean and wheat growers in the United States.

Pacesetter acts synergistically with conventional fungicides to improve plant health and vigor, increasing yield by up to seven bushels per acre in soybeans and 13 bushels per acre in corn. The active ingredient in Pacesetter is a plant extract from Reynoutria sachalinensis, a compound that delivers multiple modes of action.

When used with conventional fungicides, Pacesetter promotes root growth and increases chlorophyll production in the crop, resulting in yield increases beyond that of a grower’s standard fungicide program.

This foliar plant health product is the newest addition to MBI’s BioUnite portfolio, a science-based integrated pest management program that harnesses the power of biology with the performance of chemistry.

Twenty-four corn and soybean field trials were conducted in the Midwest during the 2019 crop year to assess the performance of Pacesetter when added to a grower’s standard fungicide program.

The results have been positive; notably in

soybeans, where 82% of the time, when combined with a conventional fungicide, Pacesetter achieved higher yields than the grower’s standard fungicide program alone.

When Pacesetter’s 2019 soybean yield was combined with testing data from prior years, the yield was improved by an average of nearly four percent compared to the grower’s standard fungicide program without the use of Pacesetter. These results represent a 71% win rate and a four to one return on investment.

In corn, when the 2019 yield of Pacesetter was combined with testing data from prior years, the average yield increase was four bushels per acre versus the grower’s standard fungicide program without the use of Pacesetter. The return on investment was particularly significant for corn in yield-challenging environments where results showed a 6.25-bushels-per-acre increase.

“BioUnite increases value to growers by offering an integrated crop management program that increases yield and return on investment,” said Kevin Hammill, chief commercial officer of Marrone Bio Innovations.

Pacesetter, the newest addition to MBI’s biological product portfolio, received EPA approval in February and will be commercially available for the 2020 growing season, pending state approvals.

Yolo DA warns of stimulus-check scams Weddings are back at Special to The Enterprise Stimulus checks during the current COVID-19 crisis are on the way, and the Yolo County District Attorney is warning the community to be alert and vigilant regarding scams and fraud intended to steal your money and your identity.

The coronavirus pandemic has changed almost every aspect of our daily lives. Many are working from home while others have lost their jobs. Everyone is anticipating the federal stimulus checks, which will be coming in the mail over the next few weeks. Though much in our lives has changed over the last month, one thing remains constant: scammers are still scamming.

The IRS is informing the public that taxpayers should be on the lookout for a surge of calls and email phishing attempts during this crisis, which lead to tax-related fraud, identity theft and attempts to steal money. Taxpayers also should watch for text messages, website and social media attempts to request money and your personal information.

Retirees are specifically being targeted by scammers looking to gain personal information because

they don’t typically have to file tax returns. The IRS will never reach out to individuals by phone, text message, email, mail or in person to ask for any kind of information to complete their economic impact payment.

The following is a list of tricks to be aware of which scammers might use to access information during this current crisis: ■ Emphasizing the words “stimulus check” or “stimulus payment.”

The official term used by the IRS is “economic impact payment.”

■ Asking the taxpayers to sign over their economic impact payment check to them.

■ Asking by phone, email, text or social media for verification of personal and/or banking information, saying that the information is needed to receive or speed up their economic impact payment.

■ Suggesting that they can get a tax refund or economic impact payment faster by working on the taxpayer’s behalf. This scam could be conducted by social media or even in person.

■ Mailing the taxpayer a bogus check, perhaps in an odd amount, then telling the taxpayer to call a number or verify information

online in order to cash it.

Additionally, the best way to establish whether the email or phone call you just got from an alleged institution is valid is to go directly to the source website and see if there are any actual announcements like it. And lastly, it is always important to have strong, unique passwords linked to each of your online accounts to have better security for your personal information.

District Attorney Jeff Reisig says you cannot be too careful.

“If you receive suspicious communication like this, do not reply or provide any personal information and please ask a trusted friend or advisor for assistance verifying the request,” Reisig said.

“There really isn’t anything that can’t wait while you check it out.”

If you receive these suspicious phone calls, emails, text messages or social media messaging, please contact the Yolo County District Attorney’s Fraud Hotline at 1-855-4-YOLO-DA, or your local law enforcement agency.

Reports of suspected fraud also can be made online at https://www. yoloda.org/fraud-reporting or by email to fraud@yoloda.org.

clerk-recorder’s office

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Weddings at the Yolo County clerk-recorder’s office in Woodland will resume on Monday.

The office will begin issuing marriage licenses and performing ceremonies on a limited basis for the first time since the county’s shelter-in-place order went into effect a month ago.

“In recent weeks, the Yolo County clerk-recorder has been aware of the need for couples to get a marriage license and to have a marriage ceremony performed,” the office said in a press release on Friday.

“In this current time of work and health insecurity, we are hearing from couples who may need to get their significant other onto a health plan, maybe add them to the title of their home or who merely want to get married before an impending deployment overseas.”

“We understood the

important need and started working diligently on a creative solution,” said Jesse Salinas, the county assessor/ clerk-recorder/registrar of voters. “Working closely with other county departments our office has developed a new marriage license process that will allow us to re-establish this service to Yolo County residents at a basic level while adhering to physical distance guidelines.”

Beginning Monday, the office will accept appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays for marriage licenses and ceremonies. At least one spouse must be a resident of Yolo County.

Couples will be required to complete their marriage license application online prior to their appointment and can do so at https:// yolocountyca-web.tylerhost. net/web/user/disclaimer.

Call 530-666-8130, Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. for more information.

COVID19/

From Page One

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

SUNDAY, APRIL 19, 2020 A7

OUTBREAK: Nursing homes particularly vulnerable to virus From Page A1 Monday — without naming St. John’s — the numbers were 23 patients and 12 staff members.

However, the county’s health officer, Dr. Ron Chapman, said testing would continue and the number of cases would likely increase.

So far one St. John’s resident has died of COVID-19.

While Beloud has declined media requests for comment — referring all inquiries to county officials — his message posted on St. John’s website Friday described the impact on the facility as well as efforts to stop the spread of the virus.

“In response to the spread of COVID-19, St. John’s has been following guidelines from the CDC, the California Department of Public Health and the California Department of Social Services,” Beloud wrote.

“Additionally, we have been and continue to work closely with the Yolo County Public Health team and (Chapman).

“We have implemented all rec-

ommendations from CDPH and the local public health officer.”

Those efforts include testing all employees and Stollwood residents for COVID-19 and monitoring all residents of the 14-acre campus on a daily basis, including taking their temperatures and oxygen saturations.

Safety measures St. John’s is home to about 150 residents living in 13 individual cottages, 14 apartments, 32 personal care unit apartments, 32 memory care units and the 48-bed Stollwood skilled nursing facility.

All residents have been asked to wear masks when outside of their rooms or in the presence of staff, according to the St. John’s website, and residents showing symptoms of the virus are immediately isolated. Any resident who tests positive for COVID-19 is being placed in one of two isolation wings.

Meanwhile, visitors to the campus have been limited since early March under a county health

order prohibiting family members and non-essential personnel from entering any nursing facilities in the county.

“We are thankful for the ongoing patience and support of our residents and their families and staff,” Beloud wrote in his message Friday. “As required by the county public health officer’s order, we will continue to restrict visitors and non-essential personnel from coming on site, including family members, to protect the high-risk residents living at St. John’s.

“This is an exceedingly difficult time for all of us but through proactive vigilance and by working together, I am confident we will get through this,” he wrote.

St. John’s staff members are being monitored for the virus as well, with their temperatures being taken at the beginning and end of each shift. Those 31 who have tested positive for the virus are in isolation while outside nursing staff has been brought in to replace them.

St. John’s has also closed its kitchen and is working with

Dignity Woodland Memorial Hospital and local restaurants for resident meals so no meals are prepared on site.

The facility also has partnered with “No One Dies Alone,” an allvolunteer program that ensures no one passes without someone being by their side. The program is used for those who are expected to die in 24 to 48 hours but have no family or friends locally to be with them. St. John’s is also providing patients with an on-call state chaplain.

Meanwhile, virtual visits have been implemented for family members of residents.

Statistics Because not all staff members at St. John’s live in Yolo County, not all of the 31 positive cases are counted in the county’s numbers.

Currently the county’s COVID-19 dashboard lists 62 cases in the city of Woodland but it is unclear how many of the 55 St. John’s cases are part of that total.

The county reported a total of 126 confirmed cases countywide

on Friday and one additional death, bringing to eight the number of county residents who have died of COVID-19.

The death reported Friday involved a male over the age of 85, according to the county dashboard. Four of the county’s eight fatalities have occurred in individuals over age 85 and all but one of the eight were individuals over the age of 65.

Nationwide, about 1 in 5 deaths from the novel coronavirus have been tied to nursing homes or other long-term care facilities, the New York Times reported Friday.

In California, more than 3,500 people who live or work in nursing homes have tested positive for the virus, Gov. Gavin Newsom said in his press briefing Friday.

“Our seniors, the people that literally raised us, built this middle class … these are folks that are still most at risk,” he said.

CROWDS: Businesses under scrutiny, too From Page A1 it will be much more difficult to stay inside,” Pytel said. But with COVID-19 still causing deaths in Yolo County and beyond, “we are asking people to dig deep now, and hopefully we can turn this around much sooner.”

Yolo County’s shelter-in-place order remains in effect until at least May 1, limiting travel to essential business and permitting recreational activity under socialdistancing guidelines. Already, the city has shut down playgrounds and sport courts, even removing basketball hoops, due to prior failures to follow the order.

Egregious violators face arrest or citation, which carries a punishment of up to 90 days in jail and a fine between $50 and $1,000.

Still, they persist.

“Although we have seen substantial

compliance with the orders, law enforcement has seen an increase in the number of complaints regarding large gatherings and businesses failing to follow the rules established by the Public Health Officer,” said the Davis police message, blasted out on social media late Friday afternoon.

Complaints also have come in regarding nonessential businesses still trying to operate, with a local massage parlor and a private school that attempted to work with students on campus among the most recent examples, Pytel said.

Pytel said his agency also is seeing an increase in house-party reports, some gatherings having as many as 40 people in relatively close quarters. Even if the festivities are outside, “people are too close, and that’s how this spreads.”

That concern was on the forefront this past week as Davis approached what would have been

Picnic Day on Saturday.

Despite frequent social-media messaging discouraging parties and other large gatherings, the Police Department plans to beef up its staff Saturday “and we are prepared to deal with any parties that pop up,” Pytel said. “We will make arrests and citations, if appropriate.”

So far, Davis police haven’t had to arrest or cite anyone for flouting the county order, though “we’ve come close a couple of times” at party scenes, Pytel said. Instead, officers issued noise-violation tickets, which carry a $280 fine.

“While we’re all committed to educating the public and will continue to do so, some people are flatout ignoring the order, and we will take enforcement action to ensure the safety of our communities,” Pytel said of Yolo County’s lawenforcement partners.

Three displaced by URC fire

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer A fire displaced three people from their apartments Friday at the University Retirement Community in West Davis, according to the Davis Fire Department.

The 5:45 p.m. blaze started in the kitchen of a third-floor apartment and was contained to that unit,

but two others sustained smoke and water damage, Davis Fire Chief Joe Tenney said. The cause remains under investigation.

No injuries were reported, and the displaced residents are being housed elsewhere within the Shasta Drive retirement facility while their apartments are repaired, Tenney said.

A8 THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

From Page One

CHAOTIC: Positive test changed things at hospital From Page A1 terrible.” If she had bacterial pneumonia, she should have improved with the antibiotics. She hadn’t.

She was sleeping up to 20 hours a day.

On March 2, her husband drove her to the UC Davis Medical Center for her follow-up appointment.

Another chest X-ray showed the same pneumonia. Her physician worried that her oxygen level was dropping. “She advised that if I didn’t begin to feel better soon, I should go to the ED again,” Stebbins wrote.

She went home. “By this time, I was completely wiped out and couldn’t function. I couldn’t climb the stairs to my bedroom without collapsing. I wasn’t eating or drinking. I’d never been this sick,” Stebbins wrote.

By 7:30 p.m., Stebbins was back at the UC Davis Medical Center.

She was asked the same screening questions about travel and exposure to known COVID-19 patients.

A medical team placed her on oxygen, gave her antibiotics and intravenous fluids, and ordered multiple blood tests and a complete respiratory viral panel. She was not tested for COVID-19.

“It was very difficult to get a COVID-19 test at that time,” Stebbins wrote. The first communityspread case in the country had been reported at the UC Davis Medical Center only a few days prior. That patient was initially denied a test by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only to later test positive. Stebbins, a healthcare provider herself, had followed the news.

While she was in the ED, she was hit by a bout of diarrhea but was too weak to walk to the bathroom. She asked her husband to help her. “He didn’t tell me this at the time, but later he confessed that at that moment he began to think there was a chance I could die,” Stebbins wrote.

The medical team ordered an infectious disease consult and moved Stebbins into an isolated room in the ED. “I still had no fever, but the cough, shortness of breath, diarrhea, nausea, and headache continued and intensified,” Stebbins wrote.

Early the next morning, infectious disease specialists interviewed Stebbins. Her bloodwork results indicated that she most likely had viral, not bacterial, pneumonia, but her respiratory panel was negative for all viruses tested.

Because she was hospitalized, she met the CDC’s criteria for COVID19 testing. The medical team decided it was time to test her.

“Immediately everything changed. Although I remained in my isolation room, my nurse and any physicians or other health care workers who came into my room were required to wear PPE, including headgear and gowns and, at that point, respirators. They looked like beekeepers,” Stebbins wrote.

“No visitors were allowed in my room other than necessary medical personnel.” Her husband was told to quarantine at home for 14 days.

On March 4, less than 24 hours after she was swabbed, Stebbins was informed she had tested positive for COVID-19. She was moved from the ED isolation room to the intensive-care unit in case she needed immediate intubation.

Inaccurate information On the morning of March 6, a Yolo County public health nurse called and asked Stebbins about her case. “She let me know that because I was the first reported COVID-19 positive case in the county, the county health department would be issuing a press release,” Stebbins wrote. “We discussed the fact that I was not a typical hospitalized COVID-19 patient case (at that point) because of my age, fitness level and excellent health.”

At 10 a.m., the county issued a press release, describing Stebbins — whose name was not disclosed for privacy reasons — as “an older female with underlying health conditions.” Friends and family started texting her right away.

“Most people who knew I was positive were shocked to hear me described as an older woman with underlying health conditions. One of my friends said she assumed the patient was a nursing home patient, not me,” Stebbins wrote.

She immediately called the county

public health nurse.

It was still early in the pandemic — Stebbins thinks she was approximately the 70th confirmed case in the country. “We didn’t know a lot,” she told The Enterprise. “We were hearing it’s just frail and elderly people suffering from this.” An athletic 58-year-old, she knew she didn’t fit the mold. She thought others should know that, too.

The nurse said the mistake would be corrected, but it wasn’t.

Later in the day, public health officer Dr. Ron Chapman held a press conference where he repeated the erroneous description of Stebbins.

In a press release Saturday evening, Yolo County stated the description was “based on initial information received from health care providers. While a correction to this information was requested it unfortunately did not occur in the rush of containment efforts.”

Later in the day on March 6, a second public-health nurse asked Stebbins about everyone she could have exposed to the virus. “We discussed who should be contacted and quarantined,” she wrote.

“Interestingly, the county public health department decided not to contact the nail salon, even though my manicurist was in direct contact with my hands.”

In Saturday’s press release, the county said the manicurist did not meet the state health department’s exposure criteria for follow-up. “A casual contact like in a market, shopping, those people are not at risk,” Chapman said at the March 6 press conference. “It has to be more intimate contact in an enclosed space like a house and more prolonged contact.”

Stebbins said she does not harbor hard feelings, but stressed the need for improvement. “This isn’t the time to blame,” she said. “We need to learn from mistakes and move forward. If we look at Gov. Newsom’s six-point plan, we can’t open up our state again until we get good at contact tracing.”

Driving home alone Stebbins continued to have diarrhea, but her nausea and respiratory symptoms improved over the next three days. She remained in

the ICU. She was tested for COVID-19 again on March 9, but the result did not come back quickly.

On March 10, the medical team decided to send her home. “They began preparing for my transition from isolation in the hospital, to isolation at home,” Stebbins wrote.

Physicians explained that county public health officials would be responsible for her isolation and testing once she was discharged.

“Public health was also responsible for determining how I’d get home,” she wrote.

This first step proved difficult.

Stebbins’ husband had not met the CDC criteria to be tested, and she did not want to expose him. “No one could figure out how I could get home safely and not put the public at risk,” Stebbins wrote. In the end, she arranged for a family member to drop her car off in a medical center parking lot. She then drove herself home alone, though she still felt weak.

On March 13, county public health called to tell Stebbins her most recent test had also come back positive. Stebbins tested positive for a third time on April 2.

On Friday, April 17, Stebbins finally tested negative. However, because of the prevalence of false negatives, she will be cleared only if she gets another negative result when she takes what she hopes will be her last test on Monday.

Due to the ongoing shortage of tests, her husband, who has not experienced any symptoms, has still never been tested.

“The team that cared for me — the nurses, physicians, pharmacists, physical therapists, respiratory therapists, dietitians as well as the housekeeping staff — at UC Davis Medical Center was nothing short of amazing,” Stebbins wrote. “I experienced uncoordinated and sometimes differing guidance from the federal government and county public health departments.”

As a health care provider, Stebbins emphasized the need to better coordinate care for patients in a health care system that was not set up to be coordinated. “This pandemic has really brought that to light,” she said.

TRIAL: Study looked at 53 COVID cases From Page A1 with other coronaviruses. It is developed by Gilead Sciences Inc., whose headquarters are in the Bay Area.

Preliminary results for the COVID-19 remdesivir trial were published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The study included 53 COVID-19 patients admitted to hospitals from Jan. 25 through March 7. The patients were aged 23 to 82 years old.

Each of the patients was given remdesivir for 10 days.

They were administered 200 mg the first day, followed by 100 mg daily for the remaining nine days.

“Clinicians provided other supportive therapy at their own discretion,” according to UC Davis Health. The study includes data collected through March 30.

Eighteen days after receiving the first dose of remdesivir, 69 percent of patients had improved oxygen levels.

Of 30 patients who were on ventilators, 17 were extubated and able to breath on their own. Twenty-five of the 53 patients were discharged from the hospital.

While the initial results are promising, clinicians said that further trials are needed. “Remdesivir is not yet licensed or approved anywhere globally,” said Stuart Cohen, who led the clinical investigation. He is chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases in the Department of Internal Medicine and director of Hospital Epidemiology and Infection Control at UC Davis Health.

“We conducted this study on a compassionate-use basis, which has inherent limitations,” Cohen said. “It had a small number of enrolled patients and relatively short follow-up timeline.”

Thinking outside the box

I

’m not even going to mention it.

We’re all tired of it and doing the best we can to get buy, so let’s focus on something else, something more normal.

Because, for some unexplained reason, the only sports one can consume right now are games from the past, I’ve been taking in quite a few classic soccer games.

On the 24th anniversary of Major League Soccer’s first game last week, I was treated to a fivegame marathon.

There was that inaugural game — just down the road in San Jose — in which Eric Wynalda curled one home to give the then-San Jose Clash the first three points in the league.

Then there was the 1996 championship game, where that D.C. United team, led by the curly mulleted Bolivian Marco Etcheverry, came back from 2-0 down to defeat the L.A. Galaxy 3-2 on a golden goal in overtime.

Actually, Etcheverry played in both games, as the Clash’s victim in that first game was also D.C. United.

Both of the games looked vastly different than today’s form. The pace was slower. The players weren’t as fit. There wasn’t a constant barrage of high pressing and counter attacks.

The game was methodical and allowed for dynamic No. 10s like Etcheverry, a true South American talisman.

T

he way that man saw the game was something else.

And the way he pinged the ball around the field was as well.

Sure, the only thing he had a right foot for was standing on, but he didn’t need a right foot — the outside of his left foot served the same purpose.

Today, almost every player is two-footed, but at the same time, we’ve lost the majesty of something truly special: the outside-ofthe foot pass.

Watch a game from last year, five years ago, maybe even 10. It’s all inside of the foot, especially with American players.

When we’re little, we’re taught that the correct way to pass the ball is with the inside of your foot.

It makes sense. It is the easiest and most accurate way to pass the ball, but that doesn’t make it correct.

Soccer is a game in which one can reach the same objective hundreds of different ways, but because it’s so structured now, we’re only taught to do things the way coaches want to.

See, Etcheverry grew up playing the game on the streets. So did several of the other players in both

Transfers could make impact in 2020-21 season Hugh Hogland (32) transferred from the University of Portland to UC Davis via the portal.

BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor Two promising basketball players have squeezed through the NCAA’s transfer portal from Oregon schools to UC Davis: 5-11 guard Holly Winterburn and 6-10 post Hugh Hogland.

Winterburn — who will reunite with former English teammate Megan Jones at UCD — leaves No. 2 Oregon where she was backup to All-American sharpshooter Sabrina Ionescu.

“We are thrilled that Holly has decided to continue her career at

UC Davis,” says Aggie women’s head coach Jennifer Gross.

“Holly is a ... versatile scorer who creates opportunities for both herself and teammates. She is a tremendous competitor with a

great passion for the game.”

As for Hogland, the Hawaiian native spent two seasons at the University of Portland, shooting .528 in 43 games for the 9-23 Pilots.

“Hugh is a talented, hardworking player who has his best basketball in front of him,” believes UCD men’s boss Jim Les. “He has size and a skill set that will flourish in our system.

His personality and character are ideal complements to the culture of our team.”

Winterburn appeared in 28 games for the Pac-12 champions. She averaged 3.4 ppg with a season-high 17 in a win over South Dakota State.

Before heading to Eugene, Ore., Winterburn earned topplayer honors in the Elite Academy League while playing for Charnwood College, the same school at which UC Davis redshirt forward Megan Jones excelled. The school is located

But for the Barksdale family of Davis, dealing with the effects of COVID-19 isolation has a silver lining. Sheltering in place has brought the “team” back together again.

Emma, a world-class swimmer who graduated last year from the University of South Carolina, has come home. She has altered her training (with her sights still set on the now2021 Olympics) and is working on a graduate degree in marketing communications. Her boyfriend Andrew Steward is safely with her.

Payne, the Blue Devil gridiron standout, saw his track season evaporate while recently getting terrific news on his next-level adventure. Come fall, Payne is off to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. And, yes, he’ll be playing quarterback for the Midshipmen.

“It’s especially nice to have Emma home because we rarely got to see her away at college,” says clan matriarch Peg. “It’s nice to have her back ... it’s nice to have the whole family here and I’m actually enjoying this time before Payne leaves.”

Peg Barksdale, a swimmer and tennis player in her youth, is a UC Riverside grad who decided not to take her aquatic talent on to college.

“I’ve never told Emma this, but I didn’t like those earlymorning workouts,” mom says with a laugh.

Nonetheless, it was poolside, working as a lifeguard at Norton Air Force Base just outside her hometown of San Bernardino, where she met her

flyboy husband Craig.

The senior Barksdale was a pilot upon graduation from the Air Force Academy. The Georgia native was recruited to play football, but early on he saw the writing on the wall: “After one year, I found I wasn’t good enough. I (wasn’t) anywhere as good as Payne ... statistics, speed, knowledge of the game, none of that. He’s so far ahead of where I was, it’s not even funny. My college career was short and uneventful.”

But Peg and Craig always had sports in their hearts and athleticism in their genes. Their offspring provide their legacy.

What if spring athletes want to return?

AD Blue tries to figure out future

BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor Due to the cancellation of collegiate spring sports thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the NCAA recently announced that athletes involved in those programs have been granted another year of eligibility. Since that offer, gears have been grinding throughout the halls of university sports programs across the nation.

While allowing spring athletes to recover this year of eligibility

because of the vacated schedules, the NCAA Division I Council is not requiring schools to offer scholarships at the same levels as previous seasons.

However, the NCAA did not offer the same courtesy to winter programs — many of which were just entering postseason championship mode; it reasoned that those athletes “had been able to complete most of their season.”

At UC Davis, about 200 athletes represent six spring sports whose seasons were terminated early.

We’re complying, but for how long?

Earth Day E brings hope in a time of crisis

BY LLEWELLYN KING Special to The Enterprise

O

SUNDAY, APRIL 19, 2020

n the face of it, there isn’t much to celebrate on April 22, the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. The oceans are choked with invisible carbon and plastic, which is very visible when it washes up on beaches and fatal when ingested by animals, from whales to seagulls.

On land, as a run-up to Earth Day, Mississippi recorded its widest tornado — 2 miles across — since measurements were first taken, and the European Copernicus Institute said an enormous hole in the ozone over the Arctic opened after a decade of stability.

But, perversely, there’s some exceptionally good news. Because of the cessation of so much activity, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the air has cleared dramatically; cities around the world, including Mumbai and Los Angeles, are smog-free. Also, the murk in the waters of Venice’s canals and the waves from motorboats are gone, revealing fish and plants in the clear Adriatic water.

Jan Vrins, global energy leader at Guidehouse, the world-circling consultancy, was so excited by the clearing that he posted and tweeted a picture taken from a town in the Punjab where Himalayan peaks are visible for the first time in 30 years.

The message here is very hopeful: With some moderation in human activity, we can save the environment and ourselves.

The sense of gloom and hopelessness that has attended a litany of environmental woes needn’t be inevitable. Mitigating conduct in industry and, particularly in the energy sector, can have huge effect quickly; transportation will take longer. Vrins says the electric utility industry — a source of so much carbon — is now almost entirely engaged in the fight against global warming. Just five years ago, he says, they weren’t all fully committed to it.

Another Guidehouse consultant, Matthew Banks, is working with large industrial and consumer companies on reducing the effect of packaging as well as the energy content of consumer goods. Among his clients are CocaCola, McDonald’s and Johnson & Johnson.

The latter, he says, has been working to reduce product footprint since 1995.

“This is an important moment in time,” Banks says. “Folks have talked about this as being The Great Pause, and I think on this Earth Day we need to think about how that bounce back or rebound from the Great Pause can be done in a way that responds to the climate crisis.”

I was on hand covering the first Earth Day, created by Wisconsin senator Gaylord Nelson and its national organizer, Denis Hayes. It came as a follow-on to the environmental conscientiousness that arose from the publication of Rachel Carson’s seminal book “Silent Spring” in 1962. That dealt with the devastating effect of the insecticide DDT. Richard Nixon gave the environmental movement the hugely important National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. With that legislation, and the support of people like Nelson, the environmental movement was off and running — and sadly, sometimes running off the rails.

One of the environmentalists’ targets was nuclear power. If nuclear was bad, then something else had to be good. At that time, wind turbines — like those we see everywhere nowadays — hadn’t been perfected.

But in the 1970s, there was reliable coal, lots of it. As the founder and editor in chief of The Energy Daily, I sat through many a meeting where environmentalists proposed that coal burned in fluidized-bed boilers should provide future electricity.

Natural gas and oil were regarded as, according to the inchoate Department of Energy, depleted resources. Coal was the future, especially after the energy crisis broke with the Arab oil embargo in the fall of 1973.

Now there is a new sophistication. It was growing before the coronavirus pandemic laid the world low, but it has gained in strength. As Guidehouse’s Vrins says, “We still have climate change as a ‘gray rhino,’ a big threat to our society and the world at large.”

Happy birthday Earth Day — and many more to come.

very day that Californians heed official exhortations to remain in semi-isolation reduces the spread of coronavirus infections and, therefore, deaths from COVID-19, and will hasten the day that social and economic restrictions can be eased.

That’s the message that Gov. Gavin Newsom sent to Californians last week in laying out a “framework” of six conditions that must be met before he would restore a “semblance of normality.”

There is, however, another side of Newsom’s equation.

Every day the restrictions remain in place, our personal and collective economic health deteriorates and our human frustrations about forced inactivity increase, especially as warm spring weather beckons.

We Americans, and we Californians particularly, relish personal freedom to, as the Hippie-era slogan says, “do our own thing.” Unlike citizens of other countries who may be accustomed to complying with authoritarian commands, such as those in China, we naturally bridle when told we must do things we don’t want to do. In fact,

However, authorities in some other states have been heavy-handed in making and enforcing their decrees.

we fought a revolutionary war to separate ourselves from a king who governed by decree and establish the principle of inalienable individual rights to live our lives as we see fit.

We aren’t doing our own things now, whether it’s earning money for ourselves and our families, cruising shopping malls, working out at gyms, going to the movies, learning in classrooms, attending sports events, visiting parks, or countless other personal choices that comprised our daily lives before the virus changed everything.

So far, Californians have pretty much complied with the restrictive orders and authorities, from the governor down, have wisely relied on voluntary compliance rather than coercive force, while promising, as Newsom said, “it will not be a permanent state.”

LETTERS Social distancing for all Currently, farmworkers are planting tomatoes in the fields around Davis.

The setup has places for six workers to sit on a bed behind a tractor to plant as the tractor moves forward ... and they workers are sitting shoulder-to-shoulder and are not given masks to protect them.

The fields need to be planted but the correct way to honor the social distancing would be to put only two workers on each bed and allow them to social distance. We need to protest and protect our workers.

Solar contract My perspective is based on managing environmental planning for 13 years in the Sacramento County Department of Airports. We received a number of unsolicited proposals from solar contractors to use land at Sacramento International Airport, ranging from parking lots to the aircraft operational “buffer” property south of I-5.

We always met with the contractors to hear their proposal, figuring that it would be a learning opportunity for us. Our meetings included airport staff from a variety of departments, so that we could get a broad perspective.

These always wanted a sole-source contract. We would thank them for their interest, but explain that policy generally disallowed sole source contracts. Only on

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, for instance, declared that “All public and private gatherings of any size are prohibited,” which is being interpreted as not allowing even visiting one’s next-door neighbors. She also forbids grocery stores from selling any item not deemed to be essential and is now seeing organized demonstrations against her decrees.

C

alifornia officials have cracked down on churches that continued indoor services, because such gatherings have created clusters of infection. But in Kentucky, a mayor even prohibited churches from having services in which worshipers remained in their cars and listened to sermons on their car radios.

How long will Californians continue to comply with social distancing and economic restrictions voluntarily? And if they chafe at the limits on their personal freedoms and begin to ignore them, will Newsom and other authorities use police, courts or even sol-

rare occasions would the county agree to a sole-source contract of any kind, typically when the service or product was truly unique and not available elsewhere.

In fact, of all the solar contracts I’m familiar with, there has always been a competitive process to ensure the public agency got the best possible deal or service.

We instead developed a comprehensive Request for Qualifications, which gave us time to thoroughly research solar projects elsewhere. This result is two successful solar installations now at SMF. When the RFQ was circulated, some of the solar companies that approached us were no longer in business. One can only imagine the potential negative outcome had it been decided to move forward with one of those companies.

There are probably differences in the public bidding process in cities versus counties, but after executing many construction and consulting contracts in the public and nonprofit sectors, I never found a situation that justified a solesource contract.

diers to enforce the orders?

Newsom once hinted, carelessly, that he was prepared to declare martial law and have the National Guard enforce virus-dampening restrictions if needed. He quickly backed off and having now declared that he sees “light at the end of the tunnel” and a day when restrictions can be eased, clearly hopes that voluntary compliance will prevail.

It’s somewhat analogous to our experiments with prohibiting liquor sales a century ago, the decades of trying to suppress marijuana before it was legalized in many states or even highway speed limits.

When Americans confront restrictions on their personal conduct, they often rebel.

It’s a race between our hopes to tame the pandemic and our desires to throw off behavioral shackles and no one can predict what the outcome will be, or when it will arrive. We are truly traversing unexplored territory.

STEAC still fighting food insecurity COMMENTARY

BY WAYNE ECKERT Special to The Enterprise

T

he Short Term Emergency Aid Committee was founded more than 50 years ago to meet the basic needs of low-income families and individuals in the community during times of crisis. The current COVID-19 crisis, while difficult for everyone, will have the most serious effects on those whose low incomes make them more vulnerable to food insecurity, homelessness and other forms of financial instability.

Families in our community are struggling right now due to job loss, illness, lack of health care and many other effects of longstanding inequities made worse by the current health crisis.

STEAC is committed to providing support to low-income families now and into the future as the effects of this crisis continue

to impact the lives of those in need.

STEAC has a dedicated group of staff and volunteers that have been working hard over the last month to modify STEAC’s programs in order to keep both volunteers and clients healthy while continuing to provide services that are so desperately needed.

Right now, food insecurity is the issue that is most pressing.

With rising unemployment, more and more families are finding it difficult to provide enough food to feed their families.

STEAC’s food programs are helping to fill the gap.

Volunteers, including many UC Davis Ph.D. students like Jess Rudder and Derek Rury, pack grocery bags with shelfstable items like canned goods, pasta, rice and oil, as well as

high-need items like fresh dairy, meat and eggs. STEAC provides up to five days of groceries for each person in the family for up to 45 Davis families each week.

Although school is no longer taking place inside the usual school buildings, STEAC continues to partner with DJUSD to provide Food Packs for Kids to help families feed their children with bags of food for the weekends. Every week during this crisis, the Cooke family (Janis, Alex, Stuart and Joel) have volunteered together to fill 100 bags with meal and snack items for Davis school children to take with them for the weekends when they pick up the free lunches and breakfasts at Montgomery Elementary School in Davis.

STEAC faces challenges in our efforts to continue providing nutritious food to those in need.

STEAC regularly purchases

perishable items from local stores including Trader Joe’s, Food 4 Less, the Davis Food Co-op and Grocery Outlet. These commercial partners have been incredibly accommodating, assisting STEAC volunteers in making our food orders and even wheeling the groceries to vehicles.

H

owever, the demand for food from consumers as well as disruptions in supply chains are leading to increased prices and decreasing availability of food. Additionally, STEAC relies on community food donations to provide more than 2,000 pounds of food we distribute every week. Due to the shelter in place restrictions, STEAC has had to cancel two major community food drives resulting in the loss of close to 20,000 pounds of food we would normally collect.

To meet these challenges,

STEAC needs your help. We have instituted a social distancing compliant food donation drop-off from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Tuesday at the STEAC Food Closet at 642 Hawthorn Lane, in the parking lot behind St. Martin’s Episcopal Church.

Cash donations can also be made at www.steac.org or mailed to 1712 Picasso Ave., Suite D, Davis, CA 95618.

We are so appreciative of the many STEAC supporters who have donated food and money since this crisis began to help us continue to meet these and other basic needs including eviction prevention, utility and first month’s rent support and job interview clothing. We could not do our work without our generous community and we are sincerely grateful.

How we are ‘masking’ the problem

BY ALAN HIRSCH Special to The Enterprise

I

write this first to thank the many Davisites who have donated more than 200 N-95 medical grade masks by dropping them at my front door.

I have conveyed them to local Davis doctors, including one who works in the ER. I also want to share feedback I have gotten from these doctors.

Neighbors have donated lots of two or four masks, or even full boxes of 10 and 20 of them. Masks they had purchased for next wildfire season, to deal with allergies, or to protect themselves from dust in their home workshops.

Some masks were left anonymously at my front door, but others had attached notes thanking the unseen doctors and nurses who ultimately will get them. “Love you guys,” “Thanks for being on the front lines,” “My trip to Peru was canceled, you need these now,” or just a simple heart drawn on a Post-It. I also got back text messages back from the local Davis doctors appreciating the masks.

I present these feedback messages in chronological order beginning early in March as they tell a story.

———— The story begins a month ago, before the shutdown, when I offered an ER doctor friend a box of masks I had bought when Hibbert closed. He thought they had their PPE mask situation covered. But two days later he texted me: “How many N-95’s do you have? We are running out at work and are reusing now.”

A few day later I saw him with two big boxes in the back on his car. He told me, “These are some masks I found in a farmsupply store in Woodland.

They let us have their entire stock.”

COMMENTARY After conveying another donation from a neighbor, he wrote: “Very helpful and likely to save lives.”

Then, “Got the 15 masks you left. These N-95 are gold to us.”

“Thanks for 10 more.

They will protect our staff during intubations. You made our director’s day.”

Another Davis doctor to whom I gave some wrote, “The masks really help a lot and not just physically.

Knowing neighbors are looking out for us means so much. Peace.”

He then wrote about his wife, a nurse: “Her office’s supply was taken for the use of the ER so she is greatly appreciative of these”.

The first doctor then wrote, “I dropped off two at a rural hospital and they cried and waved.”

April 8: “Thank you very much. FEMA took away all masks from our supplier last week, so people like you are what we have left to deal with. We are wearing garbage bags, etc.

News is not accurate that we have enough in California.”

———— If you have any unused N-95 (or P-95) grade masks, or box of Nitrile Gloves, give them to a doctor or nurse you know ... or drop them by my home at 1711 Redwood Lane near the high school. I assure they will be put to good use. Wash your hands if have to touch them ... and only handle by the edges.

And why not add a note of appreciation, too?

They may save lives of some neighbors, our doctors and nurses.

— Alan Hirsch is seen handing out lawn signs in the Farmers Market, including “Love your neighbor” and the multilingual “Wherever you are from, we’re glad you are our neighbor.”

Water policies inhibit food production Special to CalMatters

COMMENTARY

ver the past several weeks, the COVID-19 pandemic has created images Americans never expected to see in this country: Empty supermarket shelves and people lined up outside of markets waiting to enter to purchase food.

While the food-supply chain in this country is strong, and American farmers certainly have the capacity to feed the people in the United States and around the world, anxiety created by uncertainty led to panic-buying by consumers.

But what happens when the ability of farmers to feed the nation is suppressed by policies that inhibit the certainty of domestic food production? California’s San Joaquin Valley, which grows more than a third of the country’s vegetables and two-thirds of the country’s fruits, has been facing that very battle for decades.

Over the past 30 years, federal and state policies have taken away millions of acre-feet of water used by Valley farmers to produce food and fiber, and have reallocated this water to help endangered fish species.

The strategy has been a massive failure, as evidenced by the continuously plummeting populations of species this water was intended to enhance and protect. Even in years when the state receives above-average precipitation, California’s two major water projects, the Central Valley Project and the State Water Project,

are unable to supply sufficient water to irrigate all of the land historically under cultivation.

Many farmers have had no other option to keep their crops alive but to pump and use the water under their land. Not only is relying on lesserquality groundwater to irrigate crops an expensive last resort for famers, it has also resulted in overdrafted groundwater basins.

In 2014, the California Legislature enacted a new law intended to eliminate this overdraft, which their own policies helped to create. It is called the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, and it will severely limit food producers from the ability to replace the surface water deliveries of the past by turning on their pumps.

According to a Feb. 15 report by UC Berkeley economists David Sundling and David Roland-Holst, the groundwater legislation will result in a 20% reduction in acreage used for irrigated agriculture. This is in addition to the reduced food production in the San Joaquin Valley. It has led to the expanded need to depend on other countries for our food supply.

According to the Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service, we now import from foreign countries two times more fresh fruit and seven times more fresh vegetables than we did in 1975. It doesn’t have to be like this.

There is much knowledge to be gained from the COVID-19

pandemic, most especially that we should never be reliant on foreign countries for the means of our own survival. President Donald Trump has made it abundantly clear how vitally important it is to bring manufacturing and supply home to American soil. It is even more essential to restore our nation’s food autonomy.

California’s San Joaquin Valley is the only region on the planet that has class one fertile soils, an ideal Mediterranean climate enabling more than 400 food and fiber crops to thrive, and a century’s worth of successful agricultural expertise. The missing required ingredient to this region’s industry is water, which exists, but continues to be reallocated at an alarming rate.

The state and federal governments have the power to re-examine prior water policy decision failures. This pandemic has undeniably affirmed the need for policymakers to absolutely ensure America retains her selfsustaining capabilities that keep grocery store shelves bountiful; and that we are never unnecessarily forced to entrust feeding our families to foreign countries.

B6 THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

Sick of sick talk Dear Annie: Dear Annie: We have a friend whose spouse has many medical concerns. They are serious and can be life-threatening.

However, in my opinion, the biggest concern is that every time we are with them, the conversation turns to these medical conditions.

My own view is, “What a wonderful world!” But they see it in totally different terms.

We listen to the same health problems again and again and again. We understand it’s a horrible thing to live with these numerous health issues, but these medical problems could be lessened if the spouse would be more responsible.

What can be done to stop the constant conversation about health problems? — So Tired Dear So Tired: It is important that, as a friend, you have lots of empathy for your friend’s spouse with a serious, life-threatening condition. At the same time, part of being a good friend is having fun with them. Next time the conversation shifts to his medical issues, listen for a short amount of time to show that you care, and then change the subject to something more joyful.

If they try to bring it back to a tale of illnesses, explain that you are not an expert and she should save the details for her next visit to the doctor.

——— Dear Annie: I read with interest

the letter from Karen in Kansas City about mice.

Last winter, I noticed evidence of mice in our pantry: holes in bags of birdseed, herb stuffing and chocolate. Being a completely sappy animal lover (yes, even mice — they are so cute), I bought two Havahart traps and captured 12 mice over a two-week period.

Or maybe it was one mouse 12 times, but I’m convinced it was the former as there has been no evidence of mice since then.

To be sure the mice don’t return, you must release them at least one mile away so that they can’t find their way back. Luckily, we have a field about that distance from our house, so no one else should have visits from “our” mice.

I’m an artist and occasionally put a mouse in my paintings.

— Mad About Mice Dear Mad about Mice: I love the image of a sweet little mouse sneaking into one of your paintings.

What a clever idea! Thank you for sharing your tips to humanely trap and release mice. As a fellow animal lover, I welcome your kind and thoughtful wisdom.

——— Dear Annie: I just read the excellent letter from “Florida Fan” about people ill-equipped to handle problems related to family

Public Notices Legals Submission email legals@davisenterprise.net View Legals at https://www.capublicnotice.com

tragedies. The local Rockbridge Area Hospice in Lexington, Virginia, conducts a series of workshops entitled “Ducks in a Row,” which deals with most of the situations mentioned in the letter.

This is a monthly, 6 1/2-hour meeting with a workbook included, to enumerate and outline what to do, who to contact over a wide range of situations and how to get in touch with them.

My wife and I are engaged in this workshop now.

It certainly makes planning for that inevitable date much easier.

— Still a While Before We Go Dear Still a While: I hope it’s a very long while indeed before you go — but your letter raises the importance of preparing now nonetheless. I’ve heard good things about the “Ducks in a Row” workshop. Thanks for suggesting a helpful resource.

——— Dear Annie: I have managed to overcome an abusive childhood, and I’d like to share with you how I did it at age 42, which, unfortunately, was 22 years after my abuser, my father, died.

My father had been very abusive but also very loving. As a child, and then as a teenager, this “dual personality” was very hard to deal with.

As an adult, I finally understood that my dad, as a young marine in World War II, had been very badly injured. This injury, apparently, turned his life around — in an unpleasant direction.

Somewhere in my studies on abusive parents, I read that if you could not meet the offender/parent face-to-face, or if they were not alive, writing a letter to them and airing all your grievances might help the recipient to understand and forgive the behavior.

I did this. In my letter, I said how much I loved him, even through all the abuse, and how I finally understood that his past had probably caused him to have an issue not understood at the time: post-traumatic stress disorder. I emphasized in the letter that I understood how he had attempted to combat his mental situation with alcohol, to an extreme.

By the time I had laid out ALL the incidents that I could vividly remember, and honestly accepted blame where I was the responsible party, I then looked at what I had written. As an adult, I saw, clearly, that even though he was to blame for the cruelty, at the same time, he was not to blame, due to the unnamed problem (PTSD). I could now understand that he could not always control his reactions to my childish behavior.

I hope I’ve explained this clearly.

My point is this: I unloaded my heart into this letter, said all the things I had never been able to say

to him while he was alive and cleansed my soul of the pain I had endured. At the same time, I forgave him for his responses, because I could now understand he was clueless as to how he could have controlled and healed himself.

If others who deal with this dilemma were able to write a letter, as I did, it may help them to heal.

The purpose of my letter was to heal myself, which it did — completely.

The purpose was not to heal my dad; it was way too late for that, as it usually is.

Writing letters will not heal all people. His abuse toward me was never intentional, as some cases are.

I pray that this suggestion may help others, as it did me. I am now 73 years old and have not felt any further problems from my past.

Thank you very much for your column, your love and understanding, and your help to others. — Found a Way to Heal Dear Found a Way to Heal: Congratulations on taking the initiative to discover a way to heal your childhood trauma. Your letter touches on a very important realization; namely, that when people know better, they do better.

Sadly, because of your father’s PTSD, he might not have known what he was doing, and he didn’t have the tools to cope with his own trauma. The fact that you were able to forgive him and heal yourself is outstanding. What a gift your letter is for others in similar situations.

Elliott lauded by state coaches group Enterprise staff

ENTERPRISE FILE PHOTO

Blue Devil track-and-field coach Spencer Elliott was named boys track Coach of the Year by California Coaches Association.

For almost two decades, Spencer Elliott has served as Davis High’s track-and-field head coach.

During that time, his Blue Devils have recorded nine Sac-Joaquin Section championships and produced hundreds of student-athletes who have gone on to compete in college.

Now comes word that the California Coaches Association has selected Elliott as the state’s boys track Coach of the Year.

“I feel honored, and I am grateful to the CCA,” Elliott told The Enterprise. “Receiving this award during a time when I’m deprived of seeing my athletes and coaches has heightened the sense of gratitude I feel as part of this program and this community.

“Whatever success we’ve had is the collective product of so many athletes, coaches and parents. To be formally recognized feels good, but I share this recognition with everyone else in our program,” Elliott added.

Elliott, who was a 200- and 400meter specialist at UC Davis, is a native of Mountain View.

Honors are not foreign to Elliott,

who was honored as the top girls coach by the association in 2008, the year after the Sacramento Bee named him the area’s top track mentor.

“I am so happy for Spencer,” DHS Athletic Director Jeff Lorenson said of his veteran staffer, who teaches English at Davis High.

“Coach Elliott is an amazing coach and leader for the student-athletes on our campus. His passion and commitment to creating a positive culture within the track-and-field program has set him apart from most other high school coaches in the state, which has led to a ton of success in terms of championships.

“He’s a great coach, a great guy and we love having him as part of the Blue Devil athletic department.”

Typically, Davis track draws more than 200 participants each spring, and this year was to have been no different — almost 250 kids were involved when the coronavirus outbreak cut short the 2020 season last month.

Former Davis High distance runner Daniel Gonzalez is running his first marathon today in an effort to raise awareness and money for Alameda County Community Food Bank.

Gonzalez was to have run in another event, but it was canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak and his road-work default setting went to creating his own solo 26.2-mile outing to benefit the food bank. The UC San Diego graduate now lives in Concord and works for fire-prevention consultants Jensen-Hughes.

“For those of you who did not know, I signed up to run my first marathon on April 25, but as you can probably guess, the race has been canceled. However, I have been training and am determined to still run and reach this milestone,” says the son of longtime Blue Devil basketball coach and DHS math instructor Dan Gonzalez.

Peg is ever busy creating a safe environment for her full house, joining the family in long morning walks, being the gatekeeper and ensuring that everyone’s sticking to schedule: Emma hits a neighbor’s pool for workouts, both she and Payne have online schooling while Emma’s boyfriend works online (he’s a partner in a videography firm in Denver).

“I’m certainly not doing as much (training) as I used to,” says Emma, whose 10-hour weekly swim plan is a far cry from the 25 hours a week she was spending in the pool at the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Complex in Colorado Springs. “But it’s still nice to be in the water ... which a lot of people don’t have the opportunity for.”

The only drawback? Emma says she works out in a wetsuit — “It’s cold in the mornings.”

Holly Winterburn (11) transferred from Oregon to UC Davis and will be eligible for the upcoming season.

She is seen playing against Texas Southern at Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene, Ore., on Nov. 16, 2019.

PORTAL: Vacancies filled well From Page B1 in Loughborough, Leicestershire.

“Holly’s experience playing both internationally and in the Pac-12 should help her to be an immediate contributor to our team,” Gross continues. “More importantly, Holly is an amazing young woman and a bright student. I know she will be a nice complement to the other players we have ... and will help us continue to sustain our championship culture.”

Davis women have won four straight Big West Conference crowns after finishing 17-12 overall and 12-4 in league this past season. Gross has been named circuit Coach of the Year in each of those title-earning seasons.

Winterburn is expected to be a human development major.

Hogland played prep ball at Iolani School (Honolulu) where his Raiders won state titles in 2014 and 2016. He was once named State Player of the Year by the Honolulu Star-Advertiser newspaper.

A USA youth and junior volleyball team member, Hogland also spent much of the past two years representing Japan as a member of its national team. He remains one of 18 finalists competing for a spot on the country’s 2021 Olympic volleyball team, according to a UCD spokesman.

The Aggie men were 14-18 and poised for the BWC Tournament when the coronavirus outbreak canceled the postseason.

Aggie Nation is especially excited to

greet Hogland, as veteran Davis post Matt Neufeld is graduating.

Conversely, the Pilots are sad to see him leaving ...

“Hugh has been a great teammate and outstanding representative of the University of Portland community,” says the school’s men’s head coach, Terry Porter. “We wish him the best of luck as his journey continues.”

Hogland averaged 2.8 points and 2.2 rebounds in 10.7 minutes per game after missing the season’s first three games due to injury.

Notes: There was more good frontline news for UCD men on Friday when JSerra High standout Francesco Borra signed a National Letter of Intent. A native of Moncalieri, Italy, the 6-foot-11 forward gained valuable on-court experience as a member of his homeland’s U18 national team training camp. In his senior season at JSerra (San Juan Capistrano), Borra shot 56 percent while scoring 8.6 ppg, picking off 6.9 rebounds per game and earning a spot on the storied Torrey Pines Holiday Classic’s all-tournament team. ... By the way, Hogland’s late grandfather, Doug, played in the NFL for Chicago, Detroit and San Francisco. ... For the women, Winterburn is part of an incoming group that already includes Bria Shine (Christian Brothers High), Mazatlan Harris (Cathedral Catholic of San Diego) and Allie Carreon (San Diego Christian).

of these games. Many of the great South American players of his generation learned the game without a coach. They simply took their ball to the field and let their imagination make up the rest.

Take Roberto Carlos for example — a Brazilian left back whom one Seahawks executive once said was so athletic he could play in the NFL with no training. Carlos loved to use the outside of his magical left peg.

Fire up YouTube and type in “Roberto Carlos free kick” to just see how special the outside of that foot was. Not only could he put unpredictable bend on the ball, but the power generated from it proved otherworldly.

After seeing this video when I was 14, I went into my backyard and only practiced with the outside of my foot.

Now, like Carlos and Etcheverry, I’m a dying breed — the only difference is that they were actually good.

I don’t know what it is, but something made me sad about watching

those games and missing the days when people could hit those backbreaking 50-yard balls with the outside of their foot. No one ever expects it because no one knows how to use that part of their foot. It’s truly one of the most impactful ways to pass the ball.

The only player who does it now is Ricardo Quaresma, and like me, he’s also not good (though his goal in the last World Cup was a true throwback).

So coaches, stop teaching your players that the correct way to pass the ball is with the inside of their foot.

Let them use the outside. Or the heel.

Or the toe. Or the bottom. Or whatever part of their body lets them express their creativity.

The game will be better off for it.

While you’re here: Signings continue for the FC Davis Women’s squad. The only high-school player I ever saw use the outside of her feet to pass consistently was also the most creative high-school player I’ve ever seen: DHS alum Sidra Bugsch.

Bugsch is one of the latest of Davis High legends to sign with FC Davis

WPSL’s squad for whenever that team can begin play.

She joins what essentially is a who’s-who of the best women’s players to ever come out of Davis.

After announcing the club’s first three signings last week in Maya Doms, Ava McCray and Skye Shaffer, the Golden Lions made waves this week with four more, including Cal Poly’s Bugsch.

Joining the contingent that was a part of the Devils’ run to four consecutive Sac-Joaquin Section title’s will be Cal’s Julia Curtis and sisters Brooke Rubinstein (Cal Poly) and Paige Rubinstein (Stanford), all dynamic attackers in their own right.

If I were to start a women’s seconddivision team in Davis, those are probably the first seven players I would sign.

Here’s hoping we see them on the field together again sooner rather than later.

Blue says his staff and coaches “understand ... circumstances going on in the world related to the pandemic are much more important than our (athletic) challenges — as significant as our challenges might be for us.”

He says it’s too early to know anything “for sure” about how the 2020 athletic seasons might play out, adding: “There is a reasonable likelihood that the football season may be affected in some way, and we are trying our best to be proactive and prepared for all of those scenarios.”

Because Aggie football coach Dan Hawkins prefers to run spring camp as a late-winter exercise, UCD was able to complete its offseason sessions, missing only a March 16 pro day at UC Davis Health Stadium. That’s a leg up on other football programs and is one less thing to worry about in jumpstarting the season this fall.

“We’re working through specifics,” Blue promises, reminding Marsh’s listeners that coaches would be heavily involved in who gets what should an Aggie choose to save that year of eligibility.

Athletes like fifth-year seniors will be on “an appropriate path of study,” the AD promises. “Not just come back and hang out.”
