County lays out path to recovery Golf, yes; bar hopping, no; dog grooming, maybe

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Golf courses in Yolo County are now open for business, as are boat ramps and shooting ranges. But don’t expect to be having a beer in a bar anytime soon.

Or working out in a gym.

And expect to be wearing that face mask for a while.

On Friday, Yolo County Health Officer Dr. Ron Chapman amended the county’s shelter-in-place order to allow a few outdoor recreational activities, namely, golfing, hunting, boating and fishing.

He also issued an order requiring county residents to wear face coverings while out in public beginning Monday. Chapman had previously said the face mask order would likely remain in place even as other aspects of the county’s shelter in place are gradually lifted.

“Face coverings, I hope, will remind people that this is not ‘back to normal’ or even close,” Chapman said.

“And business will not be business as usual. Even activities that will be allowed moving forward will have severe restrictions in place.”

On Tuesday, the Board of Supervisors will discuss a draft “Roadmap to Recovery” Chapman and his staff created that provides guidance on what other activities are considered low risk for spread of the novel coronavirus and may be allowed to resume in the coming months.

The key will be first allowing activities considered at lowest risk for

Show must go on Davis High yearbook offers bittersweet finale

Enterprise staff writer

Enterprise staff writer For seniors in high school, spring is supposed to be a time to reflect, celebrate accomplishments and look forward confidently with plans and hopes for the future.

But at Davis High — and at campuses across the nation — students have been robbed of the joy that would have included a prom, spring sports, graduation and the festivities of gathering with classmates in a frenzy of yearbook signings.

There’s nothing that can be done now about sports, the dance or graduation ceremonies; the coronavirus pandemic has seen to that.

But thanks to the unwavering dedication of a handful of Blue Devils, there will be a yearbook.

“When this first hit, we were not supposed to make any assignments and I thought, ‘Oh, am I supposed to be (finishing up the yearbook)?’” remembers longtime DHS journalism instructor Kelly Wilkerson.

“But a core group of kids came in to pick up their computers the week school went out. I made

Accompanied by parents, the editors rolled up their sleeves and

‘This virus is no joke’ Firefighter details COVID-19 ordeal

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Luis Parrilla took all the right safety precautions.

The Davis Fire Department captain, whose job puts him in daily contact with medical patients, religiously followed the measures his department put in place as the coronavirus pandemic made its mid-March ascent.

That included frequent cleanings of the fire stations and equipment, wearing personal protective equipment and having one crew member make initial contact with people they encountered at incident scenes.

As captain, Parrilla took on that role.

“We went on a lot of medical calls, a lot of (people with) flu-like symptoms,” Parrilla said in a

Wednesday interview. “Everyone had COVID-19 on their minds.”

Knowing a couple of fellow firefighters had tested positive for COVID-19 in recent days, “I took that extra step to be careful,” Parrilla said, even distancing himself from his wife and children at home.

On April 1, Parrilla learned that a firefighter he’d shared duty with several days before had contracted COVID-19 as well. A friend encouraged him to go to urgent care to get himself tested, even though he felt fine.

Parrilla tested negative for the flu, but the coronavirus test results wouldn’t be known for five to seven days, he was told. Due back to work on April 4, he decided he wouldn’t go in until the results came back.

The following day is when everything changed.

“This virus is no joke,” said Parrilla, who spent six days hospitalized with his own bout of

UC Davis is set to receive $34 million for coronavirus relief through the federal government’s CARES Act, Chancellor Gary S. May announced Friday in a weekly update. The $2 trillion act passed by Congress last month provides direct funding to institutions of higher education across the country.

UC Davis plans to use half the money — roughly $17 million — to provide direct financial support to students, addressing needs related to the coronavirus.

“Financial Aid professionals at UC Davis and across UC are developing plans to distribute these funds to students, with the vast majority of funds expected to be awarded this quarter,” May said.

The remaining $17 million in CARES Act funding will go towards operational costs, which have been

Briefly Passenger hurt in car shooting The Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating a drive-by shooting that injured a vehicle passenger north of Winters on Friday.

Sheriff 's Lt. Ray Jimenez said the shooting occurred at about 1:30 p.m. on County Road 89, where the unidentified victim suffered a single gunshot wound fired by someone in a passing vehicle.

The driver who accompanied the injured passenger transported the victim to Sutter Davis Hospital, where staff alerted the Davis Police Department that a male had arrived with a gunshot wound to the head, according to the online crime log.

Jimenez said the victim was later transferred to an area trauma center for further treatment.

Meanwhile, sheriff 's detectives remain on the lookout for the suspect and vehicle, described only as a small, dark-colored sedan last seen heading northbound on County Road 89.

"It is early in the investigation and there are no further details at this time," Jimenez said in a news release. Anyone with information is asked to contact sheriff 's dispatchers at 530666-8282 or leave an anonymous tip at 530668-5248.

Change is the only constant now I t’s a time of mixed messages, some hopeful, some dire.

We are saddened by the tragic deaths at a highly regarded convalescent hospital in Woodland and troubled by the coronavirus outbreak that has affected four of our dedicated firefighters.

We are encouraged and gratified by our Yolo County court system that has bent over backward to keep the wheels of justice turning while carefully and diligently safeguarding the many constitutional rights that are guaranteed to all defendants, even during an especially difficult pandemic.

Warning that we are not nearly out of the woods, the county health department has mandated that “face coverings must be worn in public,” with few exceptions, yet at the same time yielded to common sense and allowed local golfers to once again enjoy their favorite pastime.

The president of the United

remain in place a while longer.

The reopening of county golf courses, under close and strict supervision, is a case in point. In that case it appears the county has wisely backed off its requirement that an activity must be “essential” and is now evaluating things in terms of the relative risk involved.

States, who also serves as dean of the Medical School at Trump University, openly wonders if injecting bleach might cleanse the lungs, while folks who just can’t wait to decorate their bodies can tattoo to their heart’s content in Georgia.

There’s no doubt that elected officials and others in position of authority are feeling the heat to begin opening things up, even in those areas where the virus continues to rage. This, despite the fact that polling in most states shows that an overwhelming majority wants the restrictions to

A

s such, the county is also now allowing boat ramps and launches to be open, along with hunting clubs and practice ranges and what it describes as “bank fishing.”

Whether “bank fishing” refers to hooking bass, sturgeon and catfish or the efforts of those angling for a small-business loan is unclear.

You can still play catch in the backyard if you use only one ball of any sort and the person on the other end of the toss is a full-time member of your household.

College football fans may have to get used to the idea that teams in some parts of the country will

take the field as planned come September, while teams in other states will have their seasons cancelled entirely. The clock is ticking very quickly on those decisions, especially given that traditional preseason camps are just three months away.

UC Davis will soon have to decide whether or not to hold inperson classes in the fall or continue the online-learning that began late in the winter quarter and will now stretch through both summer sessions.

And finally, there are a million folks out there with a million ideas as to how we can truly and fittingly honor the graduating seniors from our several local high schools, but at this point there’s no firm plan or central command.

May you live in interesting times.

Indeed.

UC Davis to hold virtual forums UCD: Half the money on search for next provost goes right to students

BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer Three finalists will answer questions in public forums UC Davis will hold the first of three public forums on the search for the campus’s next provost and executive vice chancellor on Monday, April 27, at 2:45 p.m. The forum will be held virtually due to public health concerns and a statewide stay-athome order.

“The search for the next UC Davis Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor has led to three outstanding finalist candidates, and in the next couple weeks you will have the opportunity to hear from them during virtual public forums,” UC Davis announced in a press

release. The candidates’ names were not disclosed.

The second forum is scheduled for Wednesday, April 29. The third and final forum is scheduled for Tuesday, May 5. The forums will include a presentation from the candidates and a questionand-answer session. The virtual forums are open to the public. Online registration, which requires a UC Davis email address, must be completed in advance.

The search for UC Davis’s next provost began shortly after current provost and executive vice chancellor Ralph J. Hexter announced in the fall that he will step down in June.

Hexter has served as provost since 2011. During his tenure, he also served

for fifteen months as interim chancellor before the appointment of Gary S. May in 2017.

“To me, that seems sufficient, and periodic renewal in every position is an essential element of institutional growth,” Hexter said in a letter to deans and vice provosts.

He plans to focus on teaching and research in classics and comparative literature.

The provost is responsible for “guiding academic planning efforts, promoting campus-wide academic initiatives, recruiting and retaining a diverse and outstanding faculty, allocating resources among the deans, and formulating academic policies,” according to the UC Davis website.

Utility bill running late? Blame virus

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Many Davis residents received their utility bills weeks later than usual this month and the city still doesn’t know why.

According to the U.S. Postal Service, however, COVID-19 might be to blame.

“We are asking all of our customers to please keep in mind the COVID-19 crisis is one which we have not encountered before and the impact stretches far and wide,” the postal service told the city in a letter.

The city first became aware of an issue with this month’s utility bills when some residents reported not receiving them.

“We immediately took action to investigate and our printing company worked

alongside us in attempts to track the utility bills,” the city said in a statement Friday. “It’s important to note that this situation has never occurred with utility bills in the city of Davis in the past 25 years and our printer reported that they have never encountered this either.”

Some people, in fact, received their bills around the same time of month they always do. Others received them two weeks ago and still others last week.

Some households in Davis received them on Thursday.

At this point, payments for April utility bills are due, but all late fees will be waived. That’s because back in March, the Davis City Council voted unanimously to waive new city utility bill late fees for all customers.

OBITUARY Hans J. Burgdorf

Oct. 20, 1942 — April 12, 2020 Hans J. Burgdorf, 77, a longtime Davis resident, passed away on Sunday, April 12. He was born Oct. 20, 1942, to Otto Burgdorf Sr. and Thea Burgdorf and raised in Woodland.

He attended Woodland High School and Sacramento City College.

His subsequent aircraft and engine mechanic certification led to a professional flight engineer career. He traveled internationally for 19 years, mostly on DC-6 and C-130 cargo aircraft. Between trips, he developed his Davis real estate rental business.

His favorite pastime was bridge. He became a constant fixture at the Sacramento Bridge Center. He thoroughly enjoyed political discussions and was never reticent

to express his point of view. He enjoyed hosting dinner parties where his dry wit was enjoyed with a variety of friends. He was a voracious reader with a strong interest in politics and history.

He is survived by his brother, Otto Burgdorf and sister-in-law Trudie Burgdorf, nieces Carolyn Cook and Tanya Hustad and nephew Brandon Burgdorf.

In view of COVID-19 restrictions, a memorial event is not scheduled. He had a lifelong affinity for cats and typically cared for two to three strays. Therefore, donations to animal shelters are suggested in lieu of other remembrances.

From Page A1 impacted by COVID-19 and the transition to remote instruction. “This level of funding, while helpful, will only meet a small portion of the campus need,” May said.

According to the update, UC Davis experienced unanticipated expenditures and losses of $80 million last month alone.

“Campus leaders are developing guiding principles for allocation of our CARES Act funds,” May said. The chancellor added that decisions will depend on forthcoming rules and guidance from the U.S. Department of Education on the timeline and acceptable use of the funds.

UC Davis also raised an additional $2.5 million last weekend during the campus’s fourth annual Give Day. “We were a bit wary of going forward with this event during the pandemic, but ultimately decided our needs are too great — especially our emergency funds, new and old, that are providing COVID-19 relief to our students and front-line workers,” May said. In the end, people contributed more this year than ever before.

According to a 2016-17 financial report, UC Davis’s overall yearly budget was $4.9 billion. Roughly 80 percent of the campus’s revenues, which come from a variety of sources, are restricted to specific purposes. The UC Davis Medical Center, for example, generated 44 percent of UC Davis revenues that year and was responsible for 39 percent of its expenditures.

“Most of the funding for teaching comes from unrestricted state funds and student tuition,” the report stated. In 2018-19, UC Davis received $571 million in tuition revenue, about a third of which the university requires be used to support student financial aid.

The same year, UC Davis received $419 million in unrestricted state funding.

In an April 16 letter to campus administrators, UC Davis Provost Ralph J. Hexter said it will take some time before the full financial impact of the

coronavirus and related mitigation efforts on UC Davis is known.

“The pandemic, even as it causes economic havoc worldwide, will put significant additional stress on the university’s finances, the full extent of which we are unlikely to know for a number of months,” Hexter stated.

UC Davis had begun planning budgetary adjustments before the extent of the coronavirus disruption was evident. In early March, Hexter published a new budget framework and announced the need to reduce the campus’s reliance on state funds and tuition by $80-100 million over the next five years.

In his April letter, Hexter asked administrators to look for cost saving opportunities as the campus continues to monitor the pandemic’s financial impact. “Over the coming months we will track and model the impact of COVID-19 across the range of our operations, including enrollment, patient care costs and revenue, extramural research activity, and operating costs for providing remote instruction,” Hexter stated.

UC Davis has established two Planning Scenario Groups to prepare the campus to resume activities, pending guidance from public health officials and directives from local and state authorities. Hexter is leading a group focused on fall quarter instruction, while Vice Chancellor of Finance, Operations and Administration Kelly Ratliff leads a group focusing on operations.

While UC Davis has not announced a decision on fall quarter instruction, other UC campuses have begun to release preliminary planning. On Thursday, UC Berkeley announced fall quarter instruction will be made available remotely, even if classes are also held inperson. The decision was made out of consideration for “the uncertainty the world faces” and potential obstacles students may encounter preventing them from returning safely to campus.

Things just aren’t the way they used to be.

Whatever happened to businesses that were eager to please? Well, there is one right here in our town.

We offer the same outstanding service offered decades ago.

Are we hopelessly out-of-style?

We certainly hope so.

Downtown stimulus program a huge hit T he Davis Downtown Business Association on Wednesday announced the launch of its Gifting Stimulus Program to infuse $100,000 into downtown Davis businesses. By Friday afternoon, the money was spent, along with an additional $15,000 donated

by Bill and Nancy Roe of Tandem Properties.

Ninety-seven downtown Davis businesses benefitted from the program, with 48 capping out at the maximum $2,000. It raised more than $130,000 for downtown businesses in about 50 hours.

“We can’t thank the city of Davis, and our City Council, enough for their matching sponsorship of this program and their steadfast support of the cultural and entertainment heart of our city,” the Davis Downtown Business Association board announced late Friday on its website.

The DDBA and the city of Davis co-sponsored the program to encourage anyone who has ties to our city or university to purchase gift cards or certificates for their favorite businesses. Customers could purchase gift cards or gift certificates through the program, and each business would receive a match, up to $1,000. Cost of the match was split by DDBA and the city of Davis ($25,000 each). So if you bought a $50 gift card, the program gave the business $100.

Brett Maresca, the executive director of the Davis Downtown since last month, said the popularity of the program is proof that people are really showing up for their community.

Shoppers can use the cards now if the business is open, or hang on to it for later. Though there’s no guarantee that every business will survive this crisis, this is a good way to support them while they are closed. DDBA helped businesses set up e-gift cards if they didn’t have a program of their own.

All businesses with a business license in the Downtown Business Improvement District (downtown core) are automatic members of the DDBA, and eligible to take part in the Gifting Stimulus Program. The program was not affiliated with the Downtown Davis Gift Card, which is being phased out.

Davis City Councilman Lucas Frerichs lauded the effort. “This new program infuses cash into businesses immediately, and will help our downtown to survive

during this unprecedented time.

Buying these gift cards that have a match is one of a variety of ways to support our downtown merchants, and I’m confident that our community will continue to step up in this time of need.”

Not only is this program news, some downtown businesses reopened as a direct result: Yeti Restaurant and Davis Wine Bar so far.

The following businesses made the full $2,000: Abaton Consulting & Web Design Studio, Armadillo Music, Avant Garde Studio, Bizarro World, Bohème Hip Used Clothing, Creme de la Crème, Davis Cards & Games, Davis Massage Center, Dynamics Hair & Massage Studio, Ellen Walters CMT, FIT House, Freewheeler Bicycle Center, Froggy’s Bar & Grill (Tommy J’s), Hannah’s Hair, Kaya Yoga, Luci’s Salon, Massage by Caren, Mishka’s Café, Newsbeat, Picasso Salon, Pinkadot, Razor’s Edge Barber Shop, Salon Blonde, Sanctuary Salon, Sophia’s Thai Kitchen, Studio 355, Studio K, Style Lounge, Sweet and Shavery, Thai Canteen, Thai Nakorn, The Avid Reader Bookstore, The Davis Beer Shoppe, The Mustard Seed, The Paint Chip, The Wardrobe, Three Mile Brewing, Tres Hermanas, Upper Crust Baking, Varsity Theatre, Village Pizza & Grill, Volleys Tennis Shop, Woodstock’s Pizza, Yeti Restaurant, Yolo County SPCA Thrift Store, Yoloberry Yogurt, Zia’s Delicatessen and Zumapoke.

MBI gets warning from Nasdaq Enterprise staff Davis-based biotech company Marrone Bio Innovations Inc. announced this week that it has received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market notifying the company of its noncompliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) as a result of the company’s closing bid price being below $1 per share for 30 consecutive days.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company usually has 180 calendar days from the date of the notification to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules.

However, on April 16, Nasdaq filed an immediately effective rule change with the Securities and Exchange Commission resulting in the compliance periods for various pricebased continued listing requirements being tolled until July 1.

Thus, the MBI has until Dec. 28, 2020 to regain compliance. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market must be at least $1 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior to the expiration of the tolled compliance

period on Dec. 28.

This notification has no immediate effect on the listing of MBI’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which will continue to trade under the symbol “MBII.” If the company does not regain compliance by Dec. 28, it may be eligible for a second 180 day compliance period, provided that it meets the continued-listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable initial listing requirements, and the company provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to and plans for curing the deficiency during the second compliance period.

This isn’t the first time MBI has faced warnings from Nasdaq. The company was hit with multiple warnings in 2015 and 2016 in the wake of a financial scandal that sent its stock price plummeting.

Meanwhile, on April 17,

MBI announced it had obtained a loan worth $1.7 million from the federal Paycheck Protection Program, created by Congress to help small businesses hurt by the coronavirus scandal.

“People don’t realize how tough it is to be a small public company like us that’s not yet profitable,” founder and CEO Pam Marrone told the Associated Press. “We can’t just go to investors and say, ‘OK, open up your wallets.’ ” “The proceeds from the PPP loan will provide us with additional employee job security as we work to supply growers nationwide during the important spring growing season,” said Jim Boyd, president and chief financial officer of MBI, in a news release.

“Today, more than ever, it is paramount to continue our important role in the food supply chain so fresh produce can reach the tables of consumers.”

It’s still working behind the scenes at 806 Main St. It does screen printing, embroidery, and same-day T-shirt printing. It also offers embroidered cotton face masks, with messages like “6 feet back,” “incognito,” or a company logo. Check out https:// outlinecustomapparel.com/.

RECOVERY: Government inches its way ahead FACE: Applies to all Phase II who deal with public From Page A1

spreading the virus, monitoring the impact and adjusting as needed, officials said.

Looking down the line — as soon as May — low-risk activities likely to resume include some non-essential retail and construction activities (though very limited at first), as well as limited child care and even drive-in religious services.

Other low-risk businesses and services that may follow include house cleaning, pet grooming, realtor showings and some non-contact outdoor sports.

Not likely happening any time soon given their high risk: bars, nightclubs and gyms reopening or large stadium events taking place.

Somewhere in between in the medium-risk category: nail salons, public pools, bowling alleys and more.

The draft roadmap that lays all of that out comes with a key caveat: should increased activity lead to increased cases of COVID-19, hospitalizations or deaths, or an increased burden on the healthcare system, “these activities will immediately cease or reverse.”

Chapman said last week that key metrics should be met in order to safely reopen Yolo County, including the most challenging one thus far — the ability to rapidly test anyone with COVID-19 symptoms as well as their close contacts and essential service providers.

As has been the case across the country, a lack of testing has hindered efforts to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.

In Yolo County, with more than 220,000 residents, 1,694 people have been tested so far. Of those, 157 tests have been positive; 27 people have been hospitalized; and 13 county residents have died.

In his op-ed Page B3, Yolo County Supervisor Gary Sandy said, “Because the lack of available testing has been such a hindrance, the county will instead rely on the number of outbreaks, hospitalizations and deaths as metrics for evaluating community health.”

Meanwhile, Chapman said last week that the shelter-in-place order is working, and the curve flattening, but it’s too soon to celebrate — or to end that shelter-in-place order. It is, however, “time to begin a discussion about

how we slowly begin to crawl out of this situation.”

“We need to weigh the benefits of the gains we’ve made through social distancing and shelter in place with the huge risks of continuing with the economic impacts that we’ve seen,” Chapman said.

There is enough flexibility within Chapman’s health order, the draft roadmap notes, to release some services and businesses from the shelter in place and to order them back in if necessary.

Guiding the roadmap are three principles: Activities may only resume if they are allowed by the state’s shelter-in-place order; they must be easily modified or require no modification to incorporate social distancing; and they must minimize the shared use of property or equipment.

On Friday, the county took the first step by allowing golf courses and boat ramps to reopen, as well as permitting fishing, hunting, gun clubs and archery.

Next month, in the roadmap’s “Phase II,” additional activities may be allowed.

“It is anticipated that this restriction loosening shall be in place for two incubation periods of the virus (or 28 days) for monitoring of disease transmission and other important metrics,” the draft states. “After the initial phase has been evaluated by the public health officer, additional information on reduction in restrictions shall be released.”

However, people in high-risk populations, including those over age 65, with compromised immune systems and chronic conditions will likely be subject to more cautious restrictions.

For everyone else, these are the reopening phases proposed in the draft roadmap:

Phase I (which began on Friday) Due to their low-risk categorization, the following outdoor recreation activities are allowed: Golf courses, hunting clubs/archery, boat ramps and fishing All still require social distancing measures unless conducted with another member of the same household and county staff and law enforcement will be monitoring over the next two weeks to ensure adherence to the public health order.

(likely in May) The following are being considered for the second phase for “low risk” businesses and activities: ■ Allowing non-essential retail to provide curbside pick-up and mail order ■ Allowing child care with limited capacity and restrictions ■ Allowing non-essential construction, including opening corresponding permitting departments ■ Allowing drive-in religious services with social distancing requirements As far as other activities and when they’ll be allowed, it all comes down to risk assessment, and the draft roadmap lays out those activities according to that assessment.

“These activities are illustrative only, and as the county’s knowledge evolves and a process is informed by community engagement, board feedback, state guidance, and novel data, items on this list shall be added, removed or altered,” the draft roadmap states.

Yolo County supervisors, as well as members of the public, will be able to weigh in on the draft roadmap at Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting. During that meeting, the board will also receive an update on the pandemic, the shelter in place and the county’s response to both from county staff. Tuesday’s meeting begins at 9 a.m.

Members of the public may live stream the meeting at https://yolocounty.zoom.us/j/112072974, Meeting ID: 112 072 974; or join by phone via 1-408-638-0968, Meeting ID: 112 072 974.

From Page A1 essential activities; visiting or working at essential businesses; seeking healthcare; and using public transportation.

“The success of this order depends upon voluntary compliance by individuals and community acceptance of its requirements,” the health order issued by Dr. Ron Chapman states.

“Individual violators are unlikely to be cited, with enforcement directed instead at noncomplying essential businesses and other enterprises. Individuals that choose not to wear face coverings when required by this order may encounter difficulties such as being refused access to public transit and essential businesses.”

Requiring people to cover their faces in public is based on evidence that people infected with the virus may be asymptomatic but still contagious.

The masks are meant to prevent the wearer from spreading the virus.

The order does not not eliminate the need for sheltering in place, physical distancing of at least six feet away from others when in public, or frequent hand washing, Examples of when face coverings should be worn include: ■ When inside or in line to enter a business; ■ While at any location or facility engaging in minimum basic operations or while seeking or receiving essential government functions; ■ While engaged in essential infrastructure work; ■ While at any facility providing healthcare

operations; and ■ When waiting for or riding on public transportation (including any bus or shuttle) or paratransit or while in a taxi, private car service or ride-sharing vehicle.

Additionally, drivers and operators of any public transportation or paratransit vehicle, taxi or private car service or ridesharing vehicle must wear a face covering while driving, even without a passenger.

A face covering is not required when a person is in a personal office (a single room) or other space in the workplace when coworkers are not present and as long as the public does not regularly visit the space in the workplace.

For example, a construction worker, plumber, bank manager, accountant or bike repair person is not required to wear a face covering if that individual is alone and in a space not regularly visited by coworkers or the public.

But that individual must put on a face covering at when essential work prevents social distancing from cowerkers or customers.

Businesses must also take reasonable measures, such as posting signs, to remind their customers and the public of the requirement that they wear a face covering while inside or waiting in line to enter the business. They must also take all reasonable steps to prohibit any member of the public who is not wearing a face covering from entering and must not serve that person.

The order does not require any child under age 13 to wear a face covering.

VIRUS: Folsom hospital set up to handle COVID-19 cases From Page A1 get it, and I got it. Any one of us can get it.”

Symptoms set in For Parrilla, the morning of April 3 began with chills and body aches, and fatigue later set in. The next day brought more of the same, as well as a loss of appetite and perspiration as his fever spiked to 104 degrees.

“It was unbelievable, the amount of sweat I had,” Parrilla said. The same symptoms persisted for two more days, prompting him to contact his doctor on April 6. “The doctor thought all signs pointed to COVID-19.”

He advised Parrilla to seek an evaluation at a remote tent clinic, where he got a second coronavirus test and X-ray that showed congestion in his chest. He returned home, where two days later he developed a dry cough. A call to his doctor elicited continued concerns.

Parrilla’s wife urged him to go to the hospital “and I was refusing,” he said, largely due to the upcoming Easter holiday his family cherishes. Then came the mental decline — Parrilla’s belief that George Bush was president of the United States and “I was talking to myself, talking to my own body. All I wanted to do was sleep.”

The next day, April 9, Parrilla met with his doctor

by Zoom video.

“I need to you to go back to that tent clinic,” the doctor told Parrilla, who drove there himself while his wife took a separate car. There, his pulse suddenly ramped up from 80 beats per minute to 150, while his blood oxygen level dove from 96 to 89 percent.

“You need to go to the

emergency room right now,” a clinic doctor told him, Parrilla recalled. “Of course I’m fighting, saying ‘I’m fine.’ But I thought the end was near.”

‘Prayers and faith’ Parrilla went straight to Mercy Hospital in Folsom.

Although he has little memory of being admitted, he recalled being wheeled to a designated COVID-19 unit walled off with plastic sheets that elicited images of the movies “Outbreak” and “The Hot Zone.”

“The doctor came in looking like an astronaut” clad in protective gear, said Parrilla, who finally learned that day he’d tested positive for COVID-19. He also developed pneumonia and a low white blood cell count.

His treatment included the antibiotic azithromycin and anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, plus additional antibiotics for the pneumonia. Fortunately, he said, he never required the use of a ventilator.

“Thanks to a lot of prayers and faith, after two days I started feeling better,” Parrilla said. “I never thought I’d be there for six days.”

He spent Easter in the hospital, but his Davis Fire Department colleagues made sure his wife and kids still enjoyed a festive holiday. “(Chief ) Joe Tenney and the crew, they made Easter for my family,” bringing Easter baskets filled with goodies, Parrilla said.

Parrilla got discharged from the hospital on April 15, though his doctor urged him to spend another two weeks in isolation from his loved ones. The city of Davis covered the cost of a hotel room, under a previously reached agreement by

City Manager Mike Webb, Tenney and Police Chief Darren Pytel to provide rooms for first responders who become symptomatic or COVID-19 positive.

“It was unbelievable being outside, seeing the sun,” Parrilla said of his release. He returned home to his family on Wednesday, after getting an early all-clear from the El Dorado County health director.

“I’m doing a lot better,” added Parrilla, who’s still experiencing congestion and undergoing breathing treatments at home. “I’m looking forward to going back to work.”

One of several chalk messages that greeted Davis fire Capt. Luis Parrilla outside his home after his discharge from the hospital and week in isolation while recovering from COVID-19.

Going forward When that will be, however, is unclear.

“We want to make sure he’s totally healthy,” Tenney said. He noted that the three other firefighters struck with COVID-19 all had only mild cases and have since returned to duty, while several others who felt symptoms ultimately tested negative.

No one has fallen ill since Parrilla, and “hopefully we won’t have any more going forward,” Tenney added.

Firefighters continue to follow the county’s health directives to keep the virus at bay and avoid taking it home to their families.

“We do what we can, but we have to keep doing our jobs,” Tenney said.

Paul Doroshov, deputy chief of the Davis Police Department, said his agency so far has avoided any cases of COVID-19, though some employees have reported feeling ill.

“We’ve taken as many measures as we possibly can to minimize exposure,” Doroshov said.

The public should do the same, said Parrilla, who stressed the importance of

COURTESY PHOTO

following health departments’ orders to stay at home and socially distance.

“It’s most likely what saved by family from being

sick,” Parrilla said. “If I’m able to do it being on the front lines, the community should be able to do the same thing out there.”

Dateless daughters Dear Annie: We have two daughters, ages 30 and 32.

They are both educated professionals. While they are completely self-sufficient financially (no debt because we paid for their higher education), we are still their “go-to” for emotional support. They are active socially with friends, colleagues and acquaintances, but neither daughter seems interested in dating. We are continually told by others that they are still “young” and that, these days, young people don’t get married until their mid-30s. We get that, but if there is no interest in dating now, how is marriage going to happen in the next five years?

How can we let this go? We’ve been happily married for 34 years and wish for that kind of love, companionship and support for our girls.

— Parents of Perpetually Single Daughters Dear Parents of Perpetually Single Daughters: They’re not broken, so stop trying to fix them up. You said it yourself that they are self-sufficient, have active social lives and value their relationships with you. There are plenty of parents reading this with envy.

It’s possible your girls will partner off in the next few years; it’s true that people are settling down later and later.

But it’s also possible that they’ll never marry — and that is OK. Just because something has brought you fulfillment and joy doesn’t mean it’s the right fit for your children. Try always to bring your focus back to your gratitude that they are happy and healthy.

——— Dear Annie: You responded to a person who has been seven years sober and felt in a rut. I can understand. I have 28 years sober myself. Whenever I feel bad, I read this page in “The Big Book.” This is the 3rd edition and page 449. It has helped me through many a day. It reads: “Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing, or situation — some fact of my life — unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing, or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment. Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in God’s world by mistake.” Thank you for all your help.

— A friend of Bill W’s Dear Friend of Bill’s: That is a rare pearl of wisdom — one anyone can glean insights from. Thank you for presenting it here.

——— Dear Annie: In response to the recent letter from “Alien-

ated Alice,” the woman with intractable body odor (trimethylaminuria), I have a suggestion that may help. I used to work in a health food store, and we found out that taking chlorophyll supplements (copper chlorophyllin, 180 mg a day to start) is more effective and longer lasting than other methods of controlling this problem. Other chlorophyll supplements should be explored as well as vitamin B2.

There are also chlorophyll mouth rinses to help control halitosis. I wish this poor lady the best of luck.

— Prom Queen Dear Prom Queen: While I could find no scientific studies to support the use of chlorophyll for trimethylaminuria, I did find some anecdotal posts on the internet from people who have had some success using this supplement. Before use, consult your doctor and see if this is something that could be beneficial.

Giving a voice to the mentally ill Dear Annie: I am new to your column, so I’m not sure what all you’ve shared with the public about mental illness. I’m hoping you will publish this letter because I feel that most people need to know more. It’s often said that the more understanding one gains, the more compassion he/she can extend to others.

I have bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. I’ve had these mental conditions for many years. And in that space of time, I’ve encountered many people who know very little about mental illness in general. Not long ago, a friend of my mother was talking to her about different people, here in our community, and she referred to some of them as “weirdos,” “flakey,” “nuts,” etc. I was offended and hurt that she would talk that way around me. She knows I’m mentally ill. Some people can be so insensitive. If more folks knew how dreadfully painful mental illness can be, they might have more compassion for one another.

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, 1 in 5 people has a mental illness. You’d think that since it’s so common people would feel more at ease talking about it.

Television and movies do very little to educate the public on this topic. The mentally ill are often portrayed as dangerous criminals. However, studies have shown that only a very small percentage of the mentally ill are dangerous.

It’s more likely that a mentally ill person will be the victim, and not the perpetrator, as they are so often taken advantage of and treated cruelly.

There are those who believe that mentally ill people are lazy, irresponsible, manipulative and without love. In my lifetime, I have encountered many people with mental conditions who are very loving, responsible and hardworking citizens.

Psychiatric facilities and private practices can be a beacon of light for individuals who are in the dark about how to help themselves. Psychiatrists, therapists and community support workers offer hope, but a lot of folks are too ashamed or embarrassed to seek it out. I believe that if more people would take a stand for the mentally ill, the number of people who seek help would increase considerably, and more people could find hope, happiness and fulfillment in their lives. Thank you for reading this.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 2020 A7

Don’t skip bottom bread on your sandwich M y friend Kim Orendor gave me some great advice about 10 years ago. She introduced me to the “sandwich method” when giving someone a critique of some kind.

Basically, you sandwich the thing that might sound like bad news between two pieces of good news.

I use this all the time when offering feedback to student writers — “I like your lede; it’s very engaging. Now, think about restructuring your second paragraph to be a little more descriptive. Then you’ve got that great quote for readers when they get to the end!”

I also use it when talking to loved ones and I want to encourage them to do something while also letting them know I’m not thinking only negative thoughts about their behavior.

Recently I’ve decided to use the sandwich method on myself, when I’m feeling a little harsh about my shelter-in-place accomplishments or activities.

Because honestly, even though I’m an upbeat and optimistic person, I’m also pretty dang

bored and sick of, well, everything. I’m falling into a pattern of thinking of interesting or funseeming things to do, then immediately realizing they weren’t as fun or interesting as I’d hoped.

So the format of a lot of my internal dialogues right now takes the form of: 1. excitement/ anticipation of something; 2.

Realization that the thing wasn’t all that great. An open-faced sandwich of discontent.

A few examples…

This past weekend we had a game night with my husband’s siblings and their spouses. I was really excited before the call, just eager to see different faces and hear how everyone was doing.

When we actually got on the call, I quickly realized everyone

(besides husband, S, and I) was exhausted. For starters, they are all on the East Coast, so our 5:30 p.m. game time was 8:30 for them.

And more importantly, they all have kids under 10 years old. Their world of sheltering-in-place is drastically different from ours. Thus, I felt awful for all of them having to stay up and try to be lively.

Another example was an “adventure” I came up with this past weekend. S and I went on a “three-park walk,” making ourselves get out and walk some different routes. We walked from our part of Mace Ranch to the far edge’s John Barovetto Park, then to and around Mace Ranch Park, then to and around Slide Hill Park. Exercise and new scenery!

But after we got going, I realized so many people were wearing masks, so we needed to have ours on (this was before Yolo County’s new rule to wear them whenever out in public). I hate walking around in a mask, I grumbled, as my steamy exhalations fogged up

my sunglasses. Plus, it was hard for S and I to not just talk about work, the only thing we have going on. I was tired of thinking about work.

And finally, there’s the online tap-dancing classes I started taking. Longtime readers might recall that S gave me 12 online lessons a few Christmases ago, knowing I would never go to an in-person class until I knew some basics. After years of not doing it, I finally had lots of time and attention to give.

However, 10 minutes into the first lesson, I was disappointed that I was so uncoordinated.

Why when the instructor demonstrated “toe toe heel heel” did I keep doing “toe heel toe heel?” I gave myself some pretty negative self-talk about not being instantly good at it.

Well, it’s time to put the bottom piece of “bread” — good thing, bad thing, good thing — on these sandwiches!

Sibling game night offered a lot of heartfelt laughs. One of the games consisted of writing jokes with prompts from the absurd suggestions given by the gamebot,

and it was hilarious. I haven’t laughed that hard in a while. Plus it reconfirmed my gratitude that I’m not having to weather all of this life-change with young kids at home.

As for our walking adventure, how awesome was it to see so many people out using our paths and trails? Very! An added bonus is that everyone right now is so eager to look you in the eye and give a hearty greeting.

And seriously, the tap-dancing lessons are super fun, and who cares if I’m not an instant Gregory Hines? I’ve already started imagining myself doing the full tap routine at the end of the 12th lesson (yep, I skipped ahead!).

Plus, if I can develop the kind of coordination that I am frustratingly lacking, I want to learn to play the drums!

Is it just me, or are you kinda hankering for one of Zia’s Toscano sandwiches right now?

Helping families navigate through uncertainty

BY JOELLEN WELSCH Special to The Enterprise

I

am so inspired by the compassion, creativity, and resilience of our community and local businesses, yet I find myself with a sense of uncertainty — somewhere between what was and what will be.

For me, the pandemic has emphasized how necessary my personal and community connections are to my emotional and physical well-being. I’ve managed to find creative and technological methods for sustaining those relationships, but for some, it’s not so easy.

That’s where the Yolo Crisis Nursery comes in.

The nursery continues to provide community support and understanding for Yolo County’s most vulnerable children and their families in crisis during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Unfortunately, history informs us that with stress and crisis, all too often, comes neglect and abuse.

Without a doubt, physical distancing is a unique challenge for our community that impacts us all in different ways During this time we know that the hardest hit are our community’s most vulnerable — the children whose families are facing serious and

YOLO CRISIS NURSERY often life-threatening crises like abuse, mental illness or extreme poverty during this pandemic.

The Yolo Crisis Nursery is here for children and their families as a place of hope and help as they navigate this period of uncertainty due to COVID-19.

The Yolo Crisis Nursery is serving children to provide services to those whose safety is at the highest risk within the guidelines of national, state, and local health officials. The children who have come to the Nursery in the last month have had very high needs.

Our trauma-trained staff has seen undiagnosed children, and through our screening process helped to identify major medical issues such as deafness and Autism. While providing compassionate care for these children, we worked with them and their families to get the medical care and resources they need to help properly care for those elevated needs.

We have children onsite at the Crisis Nursery during the day and overnight.

The number of children having experienced abuse

and neglect is high, and it is anticipated that number will grow even higher as the pandemic and its effects wears on. Our compassionate caregivers are working with these children to comfort and support them and to help them to heal.

Yolo Crisis Nursery case managers are working with families to provide wrap-around services and to connect them to additional resources in our community for support.

We are in regular communication with our nursery families to ensure their children are safe and cared for.

We also provide the childcare essentials that parents need, along with those currently recommended by local and national health officials to help keep them and their children healthy.

In addition to our crisis nursery program, we continue to offer our in-home parenting education programs (Family Life Skills and Attachment Biobehavioral Catch-up or ABC) by way of doorstep curriculum delivery/pick-up followed by video and phone sessions.

These two programs are critical to help children and parents navigate life’s challenges in a time of

Also, for the first time, we are taking our family engagement night virtual this month to continue to build and sustain our client families’ support network during this isolating, stressful time.

Poem of the month Thanks Listen with the night falling we are saying thank you we are stopping on the bridges to bow from the railings we are running out of the glass rooms with our mouths full of food to look at the sky and say thank you we are standing by the water thanking it standing by the windows looking out in our directions back from a series of hospitals back from a mugging after funerals we are saying thank you after the news of the dead whether or not we knew them we are saying thank you over telephones we are saying thank you in doorways and in the backs of cars and in elevators remembering wars and the police at the door and the beatings on stairs we are saying thank you in the banks we are saying thank you in the faces of the officials and the rich and of all who will never change we go on saying thank you thank you

with the animals dying around us our lost feelings we are saying thank you with the forests falling faster than the minutes of our lives we are saying thank you with the words going out like cells of a brain with the cities growing over us we are saying thank you faster and faster with nobody listening we are saying thank you we are saying thank you and waving dark though it is — W. S. Merwin (1927-2019) ———— Indeed, there is a lot to be thankful for, even though because of the pandemic we are in a time of fear and grief.

The courage of the medical personnel around the world, facing danger and working long hours, often separated from their families, and often under-equipped. There are the people working to provide us with food, utilities, police and fire protection; the things that keeps us going as we shelter in our homes.

However we can, let us find ways to say thank you.

— James Lee Jobe Poet Laureate, city of Davis

YEARBOOK: How to distribute the annuals is still up in the air From Page A1 A 300-page book had been in the works since September, a staff of 20 shepherding the project. But there was still one deadline, a section that was to have been packed with spring events.

“We collectively knew this had to be done,” co-editor-in-chief Camila Pedrosa told The Enterprise. “We all knew we weren’t going to get anything else (to remember from the end of senior year), so we knew we had to do this for our senior class.

“And why would we throw away the entire year of work when we could just as easily knock (the last part) out?”

Allison Metler, the other editor-in-chief, Pedrosa and Wilkerson knew the last installment of the “Blue and White” had to morph from a celebration to an account of how their school lives had come to such an abrupt halt.

While spring sports had barely begin, there was no conclusion to those seasons. Team photos hadn’t yet been taken. A festive event, Davis High’s Spring Fling, was canceled. Pedrosa says the Spring Fling feature was replaced by the elephant in the

room — a look at the impact of COVID-19 on campus life.

Metler and Pedrosa joined other editors Lindsey Taylor, Parker Johnson, Ally Yoo and Amanda Arendt in forging ahead.

While not everything is at the printers yet, Pedrosa is confident that — despite all of the lastminute revisions — things are under control.

“Actually, it’s been a lot of fun,” Pedrosa says of her otherwise bittersweet experience. “We all got really close going through the journey of creating a 300page book. And because of (being editor), I was way more involved with the events at my high school. I felt more connected with my community in that way.”

Pedrosa and Wilkerson believe that having a yearbook, especially without all the other rites of senior passage, will be particularly important for all DHS students but especially for the seniors.

However, once the “Blue and White” is published, how will everyone get their yearbooks?

Wilkerson says a distribution method is in the discussion

■ Pickup of yearbooks at the scheduled textbook return, if coronavirus precautions are loosened.

■ A drive-by handout at the school.

■ Home delivery of the “Blue and White” by yearbook staffers.

Pedrosa and Wilkerson say a dream come true at this point would be having students get together for a signing party in June, although that remains a long shot.

“I would love to see that happen — but I have no idea if it would at all be possible,” Wilkerson adds. “But I do know we’re going to have a yearbook, and it’s going to get into the hands of the kids at some point.”

In a stroke of irony, the theme of the 2020 yearbook, established months ago? “Unfinished.”

Notes: Orders for the yearbook are being taken at dshs.djusd. net/student_life/yearbook.

Pedrosa says senior orders are a priority, then the remainder of the student body. A limited number of books remain available for $125 (the original cost for early birds was $75). ... Wilkerson says senior ads — those usually purchased by relatives wishing their graduates good luck — have been received and will be part of the publication. ... About 1,100 yearbooks will be printed.

County sets ‘Roadmap to Recovery’

THRIVING PINK

We are not alone T

BY GARY SANDY Special to The Enterprise

BY KRISTEN PICKUS Special to The Enterprise

I

am a breast-cancer survivor. It seems strange to write those words as I learn to accept this new identity. I am 50 years old, and recently went back to school to follow my passion and change careers.

After many years of planning and two years of graduate school, I received my multiple-subjects teaching credential and master’s degree from UC Davis. Last summer, as I hugged my first class of fourthgrade students goodbye, my husband was waiting for me outside my classroom to tell me that Kaiser had called to say that I had an abnormal mammogram.

I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma in my right breast. After my single mastectomy, I found out that I also carried the BRCA2 gene mutation, and with it, an increased risk for ovarian cancer and recurrence of breast cancer.

I just completed five months of an aggressive course of chemotherapy, and will now be scheduled for two preventative procedures — a hysterectomy and another mastectomy.

I consider myself incredibly lucky. My tumor was caught early on as part of a routine mammogram, and although my cancer was considered an aggressive type, it had not spread to any of my lymph nodes.

My treatment thus far has been filled with the usual challenges and side-effects, but it has been working as planned, and for that I am profoundly grateful. I am blessed with an enormously supportive family — my husband and my two young sons have been patient, caring, and encouraging.

I have an incredible support group of friends from near and far who have rallied to support me in every way I could imagine.

I want to share my story because I know there are thousands of women facing a similar diagnosis and we are so much stronger together than we are alone.

The struggle many cancer survivors are facing right now is very real — trying to take care of our families and our own health at the same time. My oncologist informed me that I would be unable to work as a teacher for one year due to all my cancer treatments.

She was absolutely right because, in addition to the twice a week treatments and bloodwork, the chemo left me feeling fatigued and exhausted. In today’s uncertain environment, I also have to be extra careful to continue to prioritize my health, make good choices about my diet, and rebuild my strength and stamina.

Reaching out to Thriving Pink for a financial grant brought me such life-affirming, bucket-filling support! This community continually lifts me up with hope and support. The grant from Thriving Pink represents so much more than just the financial support — it is a commitment to myself and to my health and well-being during these very challenging times.

Thriving Pink also offers timely, tangible support through their ongoing educational workshops and support groups (now online), and Pink Peers for newly diagnosed women. I am honored to be among the 41 local breast cancer survivors receiving these amazing financial grants this year.

Thank you to all of the community partners and individuals who have given so generously to Thriving Pink to make this all possible.

hanks to the extraordinary efforts of Yolo County residents who have observed the standards of the continuing “Shelter in Place” order, we are now, as a county, poised to begin a slow reopening process called “Roadmap to Recovery.”

This roadmap attempts to strike a balance between caution and containing the course of the virus. We are all in this together and success only comes when we are working in tandem and not in opposition.

So long as community transmission rates of the virus remain stable, more restrictions will gradually be lifted — moving us toward some semblance of “normal.”

However, if sudden flareups in confirmed cases arise, it will necessitate a return to protections currently in place.

Yolo County residents will, over time, be able to resume everyday activities so long as they continue practicing social distancing practices, hand washing, and the wearing of masks in specified venues. If standards are ignored and people congregate in large groups or venues where the virus is easily passed, a subsequent uptick in transmission numbers will erode the distance we have traveled together.

Progress will be measured in three ways: ■ Metrics will be a priority.

Because the lack of available testing has been such a

COMMENTARY hindrance, the county will instead rely on the number of outbreaks, hospitalizations and deaths as metrics for evaluating community health.

■ Monitoring healthcare is crucial.

The county will actively monitor our local healthcare systems to ensure the capacity of those systems to safely care for affected patients. The availability of personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect healthcare workers will be assessed.

Community transmission levels of COVID-19 will be tracked and the rate of hospitalizations will be monitored.

Extensive contract tracing for all new contacts and their personal networks will be broadened consistent with State guidelines.

■ Releasing businesses and measuring impacts.

The county will work in partnership with our cities to identify activities and businesses that are promising candidates for reopening at the beginning of May. Specific restrictions will be relaxed for two incubation periods (28 days) to determine the impact on virus transmission rates and other metrics. After the period has ended public health indicators will be used to indicate whether reopening conditions will remain.

Returning to work Interim return to work

Granting Pink continues as a main core program for the local nonprofit Thriving Pink.

The individual financial grant awards to local breast cancer survivors provide direct and immediate assistance for medical costs, care providers, rent/mortgage, groceries, transportation, prescription costs and other urgent needs.

Thriving Pink is seeking and needs donations to continue this critical program. To donate or make a gift to Thriving Pink, visit the website at www.thrivingpink.org.

Reopening to begin The initial reopening period will include a return to golf, gun, hunting and archery clubs, fishing and the opening of boat ramps. Social distancing and other standards apply.

The second phase of the reopening may include reviewing whether nonessential retail using curbside pick-up and mail order, or limited capacity childcare, drive-in worship services and non-essential construction activities are allowed within the governor’s health order and if so when they might begin again locally.

The hallmark of these activities will rely on an appropriate observance of conditions including social distancing and hygiene. Any and all activities, or rollbacks of existing protections may be altered by the public health officer or the Board of

Supervisors. Any local actions must be also be consistent with the Governor’s health order.

This is just a beginning but those who understand the nature of the risk and who take appropriate precautions will play a huge role in determining how far and fast we go.

The willingness of Yolo County residents to roll up their sleeves and get the job done has been enviable. It is a testament to our strength as a community that we have worked together to combat this virus. We have suffered pain and tragedy.

Our hearts go out to those who have suffered from this illness and those whom we have lost. By continuing to work together we honor their memories and safeguard our futures.

The draft “Roadmap to Recovery” will be up for consideration by the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, April 29 at 9 a.m. Please go to https://yoloagenda.yolocounty.org/agenda_publish. cfm?id=0&mt=BOS&get_ month=4&get_ year=2020&dsp= ag&seq=3191.

LETTERS Thank you to parents Parents, I could say thank you in an email or text but frankly the words do not reflect how much I appreciate your kindness and resilience in this unprecedented time. You have been tasked with the job of teaching your children while simultaneously trying to work, worry, clean, cook and carry on. Most of you are not teachers, but you have learned how to navigate WebEx, Google Classroom, Clever, Benchmark, Pearson and the list goes on and on.

I appreciate you. All your emails and texts, pictures of kids and special notes that make my days seem less about assessing and more about the connection to the students.

I appreciate you. Your desire to find books for your students, your amazing projects and blogs that are keeping the kids engaged and safe.

I appreciate you and your children in all the amazing ways that makes each year a pleasure to teach in the classroom or online.

Know that you are doing the best you can and we see you.

Amanda Walsh and every teacher in the world

standards will include a number of strategies including teleworking whenever possible, utilizing flexible work hours, increasing physical space between employees at work sites, and relying on delivery services when feasible.

High risk populations including those who are 65 years or older, those with compromised immune systems and those with specific underlying health conditions such as heart disease, lung disease and diabetes should continue avoiding crowds, and must stay home when sick.

Sunday’s Enterprise, April 19, brought an array of informative articles and opinion columns regarding the current pandemic and its effects on the people of California, especially those of us living in Yolo County.

Front-page stories about Marilyn Stebbins, Yolo's first confirmed case of COVID-19, and about the efforts of workers at St. John's in Woodland to contain the virus, as well as the message from the Davis Police Department on guidelines regarding social distancing, are helpful to all of us as we negotiate this unfamiliar territory.

and Craig Dresang of Yolo Hospice, and, as always, Wendy Weitzel's updates on which businesses are still functioning and able to serve us, albeit with restrictions. On the whole, I came away with a feeling of positivity and the belief that yes, we will get through this.

I cannot say the same for Sunday's column by Dan Walters, "We're complying, but for how long?" I won't even attempt, given space limitations, to answer his statement, "Unlike citizens of other countries who may be accustomed to complying with authoritarian commands ... we naturally bridle when told we must do things we don’t want to do. In fact, 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." The irony here will be apparent to anyone who follows Trump’s daily press briefings.

What I can say to Mr. Walters is that it is quite possible in these times to maintain contact with our neighbors in ways that follow the guidelines instituted for our safety. In the past week I had a lovely visit with a neighbor while I was out for a morning walk (wearing a mask). And then yesterday, Picnic Day, I visited with the students next door, outside, while maintaining the same proper distance. I find Dan Walters’ columns on the whole to be disheartening and discouraging,

Single-payer health care ]Lost your job due to the pandemic?

There went your health insurance. Now how do you check out that lump, control that high blood pressure, get that physical therapy?

And how are you going to pay for your wife's root canal? Your son's glasses?

Continue helping your mother cover her $6,844/month nursing home expenses?

It's enough to cause one to need mental health care! Oh, that's gone, too. Tough luck!

Clearly, it's time to actively support a single-payer healthcare system. Join your local Healthcare For All group. Check out plans by Bernie Sanders or Pramila Jayapal. Contact your representatives.

Oh, but we can't afford it? Says who?

When we needed the funds to tackle the coronavirus crisis, they were created. We could provide comprehensive, universal coverage and still save a bundle, eliminate medical bankruptcies, reduce homelessness. You might even be able to put off that mental health treatment.

Solar agreement advances climate goals

BY BRETT LEE AND DAN CARSON Special to The Enterprise

W

e stand in strong support of the option agreement approved by the City Council that could open the door for a state-of-the art solar power plant — providing up to 25 megawatts of fossilfree power — and a potential huge step forward in meeting our city’s climate action goals.

A plant of that size could generate the equivalent of clean renewable power for 16,000 of the 26,000 existing homes in the city of Davis and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 11 million pounds per year.

While we work hard on a daily basis to respond to the COVID19 health emergency, the dangers to our planet from climate change have not gone on sabbatical. Global warming is real and requires urgent action.

As a reminder of the need for meaningful long-term action, we are just months away from another fire season — a fire season with risks made worse by climate change. The devastating wildfires of the type that destroyed Paradise, fouled our air and forced PG&E into bankruptcy are predicted to become more frequent unless people around the world take big steps to combat climate change.

Our City Council has adopted a climate emergency declaration, appropriated funding and embarked on an update to our groundbreaking but 10-year-old climate action plan, funded Cool Davis programs to encourage energy efficiency by our citizens, and passed “reach” building

COMMENTARY codes to ensure new homes, apartments and commercial buildings are climate-friendly and energy-efficient.

But we have a lot of work left if we are going to do our part to address the huge challenges before us posed by climate change. Accordingly, when an unsolicited offer came in the door late last year to consider the use of city land for a solar plant, we acted responsibly and in the public interest to consider this potentially significant step toward meeting the city’s ambitious climate action goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2040.

The main goal of the solar project is to either plug these new energy resources into our regional clean power agency, Valley Clean Energy, which has been actively involved in discussions about this project for months; power our wastewater treatment plant; or some combination of both. The power plant would sit on fields the city used for years to treat municipal wastewater. This land has not been used since 2017, when the city constructed the new wastewater treatment plant.

C

ity staff carefully vetted the credentials of our would-be partners before we entered into the option agreement. Our prospective partner, BrightNight, is a relatively new company, but is run by a team with extensive experience that has successfully completed energy projects with 6,700 megawatts of renewable energy.

In reviewing BrightNight’s offer, we carefully took into account the allowable uses of the land under Yolo County zoning, comparable solar lease rates, and comparable long-term orchard rates. We checked in with expert local land brokers and appraisers and Yolo County officials, and were well-served by our own inhouse experts and city attorney.

This is not a done deal, in any sense of the word. We have not signed a lease with the firm proposing this project and will not make any binding commitment to proposed lease terms and conditions until the project proponent wins state approval to connect to the grid, obtains project financing (without a dime of city money), completes an environmental review, and obtains the necessary permits from the county.

The option agreement buys time for all of that work to go forward while posing no financial risk to the city and allows us the flexibility to write a final lease that makes sense for both parties.

Notably, the proposed term sheet in the option agreement spells out, in all caps: THIS TERM SHEET SUMMARIZES THE PRINCIPAL TERMS TO BE INCLUDED IN A FINAL FORM OF LEASE (“LEASE”) BETWEEN THE PARTIES TO THE OPTION AGREEMENT AND IS NOT ALL-INCLUSIVE, DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A BINDING COMMITMENT OF THE PARTIES, AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. The City Council discussed the negotiation of the option agreement in closed session, as state

law allows, so that we could maximize the fiscal and environmental benefits of the option agreement for our citizens. Every word of the option agreement and a city staff analysis of its provisions was released to the public before we acted in an open and public City Council meeting to approve it in full compliance with transparency and open government laws (the Brown Act).

W

hy didn’t we reject BrightNight’s offer and go out for a competitive bids for the use of the city land? Our would-be partner faced an April deadline to apply to the California Integrated System Operator for permission to hook up to the electricity grid.

Going out to bid would have assured that BrightNight missed that deadline.

Our analysis determined that a bid process provided little certainty that a more attractive deal would be produced and would certainly have delayed progress on this opportunity for addressing our climate change goals for at least a year or longer.

We do regret that our further efforts at due diligence did not give some city commissioners an opportunity to weigh in more fully on the option agreement.

Just as we went public with the news of a potential agreement with BrightNight, we were forced to cancel all city commission meetings in March to comply with the COVID-19 directives.

Since that time, we have welcomed commissioners to provide their advice to us on the terms

and conditions we should consider when (and if ) a lease agreement comes forward to us. In fact, some commissioners have already begun to do so.

There appears to be some confusing and conflicting messages out there about this issue. And based upon some of the inaccurate information that has been going around, it is understandable that some in the community would have questions about this agreement. We remain open and willing to provide accurate information about this project so that you can make up your own mind. As the city continues with this process, there will be many additional opportunities for the public to weigh in on the proposal.

The local chapter of the Audubon Society has made a reasonable request for mitigation measures to protect birds as part of the future environmental review process for a project in Davis, as has occurred for other similar projects.

Notably, the national Audubon Society organization declared itself a fan of solar energy in an article it published entitled “Why Solar Power is Good for Birds.” Audubon said solar energy facilities are necessary to address climate change impacts that are harming birds and other wildlife and to reduce our reliance on fossil-fuels.

Those are the city’s goal, too, and why we strongly support this option agreement.

Pioneer looks back on life of service I

have known Joan Sublett for many years. I had the pleasure of working with her as a community partner just before she retired. She was a pioneer in providing behavioral health services in Yolo County. She seems to be as busy in retirement as she was working. Let’s find out more about Joan.

Robin: Where did you grow up?

Joan: I grew up in St. Louis, Mo. When did you come to Davis?

My first husband and I came to Davis in 1969 so that he could teach at the UCD law school. We had small children, so I stayed home with them. I also worked at the university part-time writing a newsletter for foreign students. After a few years I went to Sacramento State University to receive a master’s in counseling.

Tell us about your career at Yolo County.

I was ready to go back into the job market to use my new master’s degree. I was able to get a job with Yolo County Alcohol and Drug Programs as a counselor. In those days the alcohol and drug programs were in a different department from Mental Health Services. Cap Thomson was the head of Mental Health Services for the county and Phil Walker was head of Alcohol and Drug Programs there.

Now they are in one department as Behavioral Health. As I got more experience, it seemed to me that there was an opportunity to be creative and develop a program that partners Yolo County A&D services with the Probation Department.

For people who committed petty crimes, there was no alternative to incarceration.

With my partners in the Probation Department, we developed a program in which those who committed minor crimes were not incarcerated. Instead, they were monitored frequently by both A&D program and Probation. We had a lot of success with this innovative program.

When I became the director of the Yolo County Alcohol and Drug Department, I was able to develop a program known as Drug Court. I had been researching similar programs in other communities throughout the country. This time, we

established a large coalition of county departments and community partners, including a judge, Public Defender’s Office, District Attorney’s Office, Probation Department and CommuniCare Health Centers.

This required teamwork and some armtwisting, but we worked together to submit a grant to the federal government for funding of the project. And we received the funding! Several of us attended the training in Washington, D.C., by the federalgovernment staff. It was exciting to meet other groups from other communities and learn about their similar programs. Today, we still have the Juvenile Drug Court and Mental Health Court to great success.

Please tell me a little bit about your second husband and your relationship with each partner involved in another religion.

My second husband is a Methodist Minister and I am active in our local synagogue. It worked for many years because we did sometimes participate in each other’s worship and in social activities.

My husband was sent to a number of other communities in northern California to be their minister. He never worked in Davis. I still have friends today from the Methodist churches where he worked while we were married.

You seem to have a very active retirement. One of your activities is a Walking Group. Tell us about this.

We have a group of people who walk together two days a week. Once in north Davis, and once in south Davis. The number of participants varies, but each group has about 20-25 people. Anyone can join.

Each walk involves going to a coffee shop after the walk, so that the participants can

continue to socialize.

Sometimes, the walkers become good friends and join in social activities not tied to walking, such as going to the theater, wine tasting, potlucks, etc. This is made possible by the beautiful greenbelts and walkways throughout Davis. In fact, I met my current partner in the Walking Group. He is an artist and you can see a number of his paintings throughout the house.

Please tell us about the wonderful program you developed called “Adopt a Social Worker.”

I was looking to do something in retirement that would be helpful and doable. I knew that social workers from the county have a large caseload and a very stressful job. What could we do to help?

We decided to take a social worker from Child Protective Services out to lunch and ask them what would be most helpful. A few months before inception of the program, I met with the director and manager of Child Protective Services (CPS) to brainstorm possible program design. That is how we started this volunteer program 15 years ago designed to support social workers in Yolo County so that they can better support the vulnerable families they help.

What they needed was resources for their clients so that the families can start to live in a safe

and loving environment. We now have six church groups who participate. Each group “adopts” a social worker. We go out to lunch and listen to the social worker as to the resources they need to help their clients. Often it is something as simple as plates and silverware, furniture, children’s clothes for school, as well as gifts for the children at Christmas.

We give positive reinforcement to the social worker and reinforce their importance to the families. Sometimes we buy gift certificates for the social worker for a dinner out to show our appreciation for what they do. A few years ago, our program was submitted to the California County Supervisors Association for recognition. There were 10 awards statewide and “Adopt a Social Worker” was one of them!

Last question. What do you like most about living in Davis?

I like the green spaces, including walking and bike paths, the active downtown with the students in town and the Mondavi Center for world-class music.

You have been a role model to me in your collaborative way of working with individuals and groups. Thank you for your service of almost 30 years to the most vulnerable children and families in Yolo County.

‘Adoption’ lifts UCD lacrosse spirits Enterprise staff

Nobody asked me, but ...

N

obody asked me, but ...

■ If there ever is a Mount Rushmore for the Sacramento Kings, it would need only two names: broadcast announcer Gary Gerould and color man Jerry Reynolds.

■ College football will return to big- and small-college campuses when — and only when — student bodies are able to return to campus.

■ This year’s NFL draft has produced two sure things: a massive first-round bust and a fourth- or fifth-round all-pro.

■ Someday (and hopefully soon), there needs to be a Bob Biggs statue somewhere near UC Davis Health Stadium.

■ Very few smaller U.S. cities can claim a New York Times bestselling author among its citizens and Davis’ own John Lescroart is hard at work on his next Dismas Hardy novel.

■ A tip of the cap to former UC Davis student Greg Wong, hired to (eventually) begin his minor league baseball broadcasting career in the Boston Red Sox organization.

■ Speaking of announcers, whether or not you like Joe Buck calling baseball, he came by his skills by listening to one of the game’s all-time play-by-players, his father, Jack.

■ The passing of Bob Oliver brings to mind a Jim Bouton story.

On July 4, 1969, Oliver hit the first grand slam in Kansas City Royals history off Bouton.

Yet, through eight printings of the righty’s game-changing “Ball Four” book, Bouton’s off-the-wall account of those 1969 Seattle Pilots, it was another major leaguer, Gene Oliver, credited with that inaugural salami.

Bouton’s attempts to rectify the error all went for naught.

■ What figures to resemble a TSA line in what used to be normal times: the backup at area beauty salons and barber shops once those are reopened.

■ Davisites who happen to be UCLA grads or supporters: Whoever the next athletic director is, he or she needs to know one thing: Bruin football needs to be fixed, and fixed immediately.

■ If Babe Ruth were alive today, he would buy a subscription to The Davis Enterprise. According to the book he wrote in ’30s, he preferred talking to journalists from the community newspapers instead of the monolithic dailies.

■ It is sad that Major League Baseball wants to constrict the number of minor league franchises (most of the casualties would come in the form of teams toiling in small towns and communities).

■ Davis resident Mark Kreidler’s son Ryan waits anxiously to see if minor-league games will be played this season. The younger Kreidler is in the Detroit Tiger organization and hit a grand slam for the Mother Ship this spring. His father remains one of the best writers around.

■ Has there ever been a better sports columnist than Jim Murray?

■ The LA Times is running a poll to determine the greatest sports icon in Los Angeles history. While there are many worthy candidates, I find it hard to believe anyone will top Voice of the Dodgers Vin Scully.

■ Let us hope that reading books has helped people get through the shelter-in-place order.

■ Is there anyone busier these days than Amazon Prime drivers or meal-delivery services?

■ If you wonder about the greeting at the top of this column, Google the name Jimmy Cannon.

■ Know and believe that all of us will be stronger when the pandemic is under control and scientists have come up with a vaccine.

Be well and stay strong. I gotta go, my package just arrived. Until next time ...

— Doug Kelly is the longtime football broadcast analyst for UC Davis football and current director of communications for the Football Bowl Association. He is a periodic contributor to The Davis Enterprise. Reach Kelly at DKelly3918@ gmail.com.

No one wanted this spring season to be played out more than the UC Davis women’s lacrosse team.

When the order to suspend came just before the March 16 showdown with Yale, the Aggies had fasioned a 3-3 record with wins over Georgetown, Oregon and Cal. Sparked by six seniors, there was something in the air.

In addition, UCD had a newcomer who was providing added incentive and onfield spirit: 4-year-old Tyler Richards had been adopted by the local lacrosse women.

Just before Davis took the field against Arizona State in the season opener, Richards became the newest member of the Aggies program, signing a letter of commitment at the Bob Foster Team Center at UC Davis Health Stadium.

With parents Ronnie and Katie, as well as siblings Nicolas and Avery, by his side, Tyler was welcomed into the program by the entire 2020 UC Davis team, “adopted” by the Aggies through the efforts of the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation.

Tyler has been diagnosed with a mass in his brain. As he battles onward, the lacrosse was delighted to welcome the West Sacramento lad as an official members of the UCD program.

“Our first meeting with Tyler and his family made a huge impact on all of us,” head Aggie coach Suzanne Isidor recalled.

“From hearing Tyler’s story, and how much the Richards family has been through, to the team interacting with Tyler, Nick and Avery, it was a special day.

“There were smiles on everyone’s faces and an instant bond.

MARK HONBO, UC DAVIS ATHLETICS/COURTESY PHOTO

Tyler Richards shares postgame goodies with the UCD lacrosse team.

We look forward to our relationship growing and learning from each other as well as continuing to make lasting memories. We are grateful to have Tyler and his family in the Aggie Family and are grateful for the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation as well.”

“The kids loved meeting the team for the first time and left asking when they could come back and play with them,” points out Katie Richardson. “(The kids) kept saying how excited they are to have so many sisters. We felt like part of the team instantly. For weeks after signing on to the team, we talked about how awesome it was to meet everyone and how we couldn’t wait to cheer them on and make lots more memories with the team.

“We loved watching the ladies play their hearts out the day we attended our first-ever lacrosse game. Cheering them on brought us so much joy. It feels like we have known them forever.”

For the “adoption,” Tyler, Avery and Nicolas. Tyler were

presented with some Aggie swag. Tyler was even assigned a game-day locker.

Now everyone has to wait until that joy of lacrosse unfurls itself again. The interruption by the coronavirus pandemic has put all plans on hold. But the memories — and prayers for a positive outcome for Tyler — continue.

Walnut Creek native Maddie Myers, a senior, weighed in: “It was really meaningful to bring Tyler into the program. He’s been a great addition to the team. It’s been a really special experience to bring someone that needed teammates to cheer him on just as much as our team did. I can’t wait to see the program grow with Tyler.”

“Meeting Tyler and his family brought a fresh perspective on the meaning of perseverance and faith,” explained the Aggie’s leading 2020 scorer Sorana Larson (a senior from Ellicott City, Md.). “It was truly refreshing to see how much joy our sport and this team could bring

to a family going through difficult times.

“And they don’t even know how much joy they brought us.”

Founded in 2005, the FOJ holds as its mission to improve the quality of life for children (and their families) who are battling pediatric brain tumors, and to raise awareness of the disease. Its namesake, Jaclyn Murphy, was 9 years old when she was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a form of malignant brain tumor.

Jaclyn became an honorary member of the Northwestern women’s lacrosse team, which that year won the first of what became seven consecutive NCAA championships. Her story subsequently earned national attention on HBO’s “Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel.” Jaclyn went on to graduate from Marist College in 2016 with a degree in communications and was team manager for the lacrosse team, where she crossed paths with current UC Davis assistant Ashley Johnson.

“This young family is going through all this trauma together and the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation gives them an opportunity to escape the sickness and hospitals by joining a team,” Johnson said. “We become a second family to help them live beyond the cancer ... This program is amazing and the families you meet stay with you.”

Notes: Johnson, after being asked to prepare the Uganda women’s national team for its inaugural appearance at the 2021 World Lacrosse Women’s World Championship, has been named an assistant coach for the Cranes, it was announced earlier this month. Johnson will serve as the team’s offensive coordinator.

NFL DRAFT

From Page B8

WAYNE TILCOCK/ENTERPRISE FILE PHOTO

Aggie quarterback Jake Maier (15) was not selected in the 2020 NFL draft but he is expected to be invited to a tryout camp.

Maier unpicked; UCLA’s Kelley is an L.A. Charger Enterprise staff While the Aggie Nation kept its fingers crossed that former UC Davis quarterback Jake Maier would be among the 255 collegiates taken in the 2020 NFL, it was former local running back Justin Williams who got the call.

La Habra native Maier, who undoubtedly will get a call for a tryout camp, left UCD after throwing for more than 11,000 yards, a school career record. In fact, no players from the Big Sky Conference were drafted into the NFL from Thursday to Saturday.

Kelley, meanwhile, was the 112th overall choice of the Los Angeles Chargers. Kelley ran for 2.243 yards and 24 touchdowns for UCLA, transferring from Davis after his sophomore year in 2016. While an Aggie, Kelley gained 1,139 yards on the ground and twice led his team in kickoff-return yardage. Kelley returned one kick 91 yards for a touchdown.

Kelley joins a long list of NFL ballcarriers who toiled under former UCD head coach Ron Gould. Gould, who mentored Marshaw Lynch, C.J. Anderson and J.J. Arrington among others at Cal, is the Stanford running backs coach.

be extra careful if they’re working.”

Devil basketball team during his playing career at DHS, he commends Robbie for keeping his chin up through it all.

Greg’s Senior Night was among the most memorable contests of the 2017 season as the Blue Crew snapped an unfortunate 15-game losing skid to beat Monterey Trail, 66-56.

It was Davis’ lone conference victory that year.

Natalie, a Cal graduate with a degree in media studies, had a solid senior sendoff as well in 2013 when her DHS field hockey unit collected an Eastern Athletic League title. Her game-deciding net-bender in the Devil victory over Corning helped cap a championship tournament onslaught in which the locals outscored their opponents 27-0.

“Everyone’s having to sacrifice something right now,” Greg says.

“But I’m proud of Robbie and how he’s dealing with it all.”

The gang says they don’t have to worry too much anymore about interrupting dad when he’s broadcasting live or mom, a clinical psychologist who finds herself video chatting with patients from home.

“The biggest worry is (Theo) going off,” Robbie says of the family’s watchful Portuguese water dog. “If anyone comes to the front door he’ll start barking, so we have to

Notes: With three Cal grads in the family between Leslie, Mike and now Natalie, there were reports of drama in the Silver house Thursday night when the Green Bay Packers selected Utah State quarterback Jordan Love with the 26th overall pick. Love will arrive in Green Bay to back up 36-year old Berkeley alum Aaron Rodgers whose eerily similar 2005 arrival in Wisconsin (after being drafted 24th overall) spelled the end of the Brett Favre era in America’s Dairyland. “My mom was getting all worked up,” Greg says. “We had to tell her to chill. The Cal energy in the house is intense.”

with how you can donate: “If you would like to help provide soccer equipment to those in need, there are a number of ways you can help,” she said.

“First off all, you can donate your used soccer shirts, shorts and cleats.

Donations are accepted at Legacy Soccer Complex (look for the box in front of the clubhouse), Boheme Hip Used Clothing (409 3rd St., Davis), front porch of the Vernau’s (2921 Rockwell Ct., Davis), Bargers’ (36720 County Road 30, Davis) or Rodriguez’s (323 Hillview Lane, Winters).

“Secondly, if you know of any children, teams, schools, or clubs in need of soccer gear, please contact

Second Touch Soccer at 2ndtouch soccer@gmail.com so that the donation can be made.

“Finally, some of the Second Touch Soccer gear is requested from places abroad. The cost of shipping usually makes it prohibitive. If you are traveling and know of a soccer group in need, gear can be packaged up so that you can take it with you to deliver in person.”

More information can be found on Second Touch Soccer’s Facebook page facebook.com/Second-TouchSoccer-1319043103411905/ or Instagram @2ndtouchsoccer.

alumni have come on to provide information on how to make it to the next level.

In addition to Boyden, players like Nashville SC defender Jalil Anibaba and current Division I college players Sidra Bugsch, Maya Doms, Mia Villegas and Brooke and Paige Rubinstein have made appearances.

All one-time participants in Davis Legacy.

“I think it’s really good for our players to see those who have been in the same position,” Robertson said.

“But I want to emphasize that it takes an army. There have been lots of coaches who have come together with ideas on what to do.

“We just have to take each week and each month as it comes,” he added. “After a while, you get kind of sad because soccer is such a big part of your life ... We’re all dying to get back out there. I went out to the complex to help our groundskeeper and just walking around a 16-field complex with no one out there is pretty tough.”

Now is the time to give W

e could all use a pickme-up right now.

Whether it’s just connecting with someone you haven’t spoken to in a while, or helping those in need, everyone needs something during these trying times.

And while we can’t really play sports right now, we certainly have the time on our hands to organize our things and get rid of what we don’t need.

I often think about the Random Acts of Kindness Club that existed at Da Vinci Charter Academy when I worked there.

The mission of the club was simply just to do kind things, randomly. Not only did it feel great to be on the receiving end of said things, but it felt great to be on the giving end as well.

That’s why I’m grabbing two pairs of cleats that don’t fit my obnoxiously wide feet and giving them to Second Touch Soccer.

The nonprofit, which we’ve covered in the paper before, was started by DHS alums Michael Vernau and Brian Birt seven years ago.

Both were fantastic high school athletes — Vernau was one of the top cross country runners in the area and Birt was one of the more technical players I’ve ever seen suit up for DHS soccer.

W

hile still in high school, they decided to start a company that collected and donated soccer gear to children all across the world.

Let’s be honest, most of us in Davis have a lot and could do with some giving. And what better way to prove our worth as a strong soccer community than by doing so?

Since the nonprofit’s foundation, several other DHS star athletes have been involved including Lindsey Vernau and Jaleel and Yasmeen Dmeiri.

The items distributed have gone to locations as close as Woodland and as far away as the obscure corners of Africa.

With most of the founders having moved onto different things, the organization is now run by a trio of youngsters — Elizabeth Barger and Lilianna and Sebastian Rodriguez — all Davis Legacy players who are in their teens, as well as Lindsey Vernau, who works remotely from college.

Sometimes the younger members of our community are those who surprise us the most and can do some of the best work.

That’s the case with Second Touch Soccer. Our future is helping people in the present.

We all have too much stuff, so let’s give the things we don’t need to people who don’t have the opportunity to afford the same lifestyle we’re so lucky to enjoy.

There’s no reason for my words to be in here anymore so I might as well let Second Touch Soccer mom Laura Barger take it away

Program keeps players in touch and in shape

BY EVAN REAM Enterprise staff writer With the spread of COVID-19 and subsequent shelter-in-place orders, everyone is adapting to a new kind of life these days.

That includes small businesses, families and even local soccer clubs.

Because, after all, how do you still train as a soccer club when no one is supposed to get within 6 feet of each other?

Enter Davis Legacy, which is using this time as an opportunity to make the best of a bad situation by utilizing the technology at its disposal in order to ensure that its players continue to grow and develop.

Earlier this week, Legacy’s optional Zoom meetings reviewed over the program’s capacity, reaching more than 100 Legacy players for three separate video conferences.

“We’re trying to use this time to help players recognize that

Legacy Executive Director David Robertson conducts meetings with players and coaches via Zoom. The soccer organization also uses the platform to help players keep in touch and practice skills. they can develop in more ways than just on the field,” said Legacy Executive Director David Robertson. “We’re trying to use this as a vehicle for them to develop in a number of ways. We feel that the club and consistency of having teammates is a way to get through this period.

When we’re doing Zoom meetings, it’s only 10 percent talking soccer and 90 percent catching up.

“I think we realized as a club how we could be helpful for them at this time and how much the soccer club means to them,” he added.

According to Robertson, the program was the brainchild of club technical director Nate Boyden, one of the best soccer players to ever come out of Davis and a former member of the Chicago Fire youth coaching staff.

“Nate’s been big time,” Robertson said. “(Club founder Ashley Yudin) had a strong connection with him and wanted to bring him in and I moved into Ashley’s role. ... At first I wasn’t quite sure how he would adapt after working at the professional level, but to say that he’s hit the ground running is an understatement. He’s serious about developing players, he’s caring, he’s great around people and he’s a professional.”

So in lieu of actual training sessions, Legacy has been hosting meetings in which players can speak with each other and “practice” their technical skills with a highly-trained staff.

“It’s really helped us as coaches to think outside the box and develop in other ways,” Robertson said. “Some of our coaches are learning technology for the first time and then, on the other hand, you have coaches like Simon Elliott, who has played in a World Cup, and he’s doing 40-minute technical sessions on camera. We’re just trying to utilize the tools we have and keep everyone engaged.”

Shh! Dad’s on TV All quiet in the Silver home as Mike covers the NFL draft

BY OWEN YANCHER Enterprise staff writer The next time you turn on NFL Network, there’s a chance the talking head on your screen who’s breaking down the details of the 2020 pro football draft might be broadcasting from just a few blocks away.

“By now, we’re pretty used to it,” says Robbie Silver, a senior at Davis High whose dad, Mike, has worked as one of the country’s chief professional football analysts over the past 25 years.

The elder Silver has reported for Yahoo Sports, Sports Illustrated and most recently the NFL Network.

“We’ve had the home camera for a couple of years now, so we’re used to him (going live) when there’s any breaking news he needs to report on,” notes Robbie.

And it’s been an especially interesting last three days for the Silver house.

With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing the NFL draft to go virtual and Robbie’s two older siblings, Greg and Natalie, both at home, they’ve had a front-row seat (along with mom, Leslie) as dad tackles what’s arguably the league’s most news-heavy week of the year from his Davis home office. For these past three days, draft commentators get national face time that rivals Super Bowl coverage.

An event Mike would normally be away traveling for, they’re now getting inside scoops from the hallway and kitchen minutes before draft picks are announced.

“He was face-timing the (Jacksonville) Jaguars war room the other night,” Robbie says.

“So it’s always cool when the TV news comes in behind him.”

A midfielder on the DHS boys lacrosse team, Robbie Silver’s final season in blue was axed roughly a month ago, in line with area school closures. His squad was just four games into a nearly 20-match slate and off to

a solid 3-1 start.

And while the abrupt ending was tough to stomach, the youthful Silver says he’s thankful for the position he’s in relative to so many others across the country.

“We have to take the proper perspective and keep a good attitude,” he explains. “Out of things getting canceled, between classes, graduation, prom and

everything, I was most bummed about lacrosse season ending.

“But in the (big picture), people have lost so much more.”

At a time of the year most soon-to-be college students are generally celebrating their acceptance letters, Silver and so many of his senior classmates find themselves in a pickle: not knowing whether in-person courses will resume come fall.

“We also can’t visit schools while they’re closed,” he points out, citing that he’s torn between attending UC Santa Barbara, the University of Washington or community college locally (should campuses not reopen for fall instruction).

A student at Santa Barbara himself, majoring in communication, Greg is currently taking online classes at the Gauchos’ Davis satellite site, which for the time being tends to be the living room couch. A starting shooting guard on the Blue
