County focuses on reopening

“The flyover is a show of support and a salute to Northern California healthcare workers, first responders and other essential personnel on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19,” said Col. Andy “Spoo” Clark, commander of the 9th Wing.

“It is our way of saying thank you for your service and sacrifice.”

At right, social distancing was still the rule as spectators lined up their cars north of the hospital to catch an unobstructed view of the flyby.

Garamendi hosts virtual town hall on pandemic Participants worry over SBA loans, unemployment, worker safety

During the town hall, Garamendi addressed concerns from independent contractors who said they have fallen through the cracks of government assistance programs. A photographer from Esparto, who earns $25,000 per year running her own business, plus about $3,000 per year from an employer for which she receives a W2 tax form, said her mixed income had resulted in inexplicably meager unemployment benefits.

According to the photographer, unemployment insurance granted her assistance based only on her W2 income. She is receiving just $42 per week and did not qualify for the $600 per week in unemployment benefits that many others are receiving.

Henry said this is happening

Enterprise staff writer Rep. John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, hosted an hourlong virtual town hall meeting Tuesday with local employment experts. Garamendi fielded questions from community members about federal relief programs, unemployment insurance, COVID-19 testing and contact tracing, worker protections, and plans to reopen the economy.

Garamendi was joined by Kim Dolbow Vann, the state director of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development, Heather Henry, the president and executive director of the Solano County Workforce Development Board, and Carrie Ellinwood, the lead

“across the board” to people with mixed income.

“If somebody has a W2 job and a selfemployment GARAMENDI business, even Brought along if the selfexpert advice employment brought in more money, the W2 job can prevent you from getting full assistance,” Henry said.

Garamendi said he was aware of the issue. “We’re going to have to rewrite the law to provide clarity,” he said, adding that the photographer’s testimony could help Congress correct the problem. “In the next piece of legislation, (the gig economy) is a priority,” Garamendi said.

According to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the state’s unemployment rate is projected to hit 18 percent. “It’s a difficult, dangerous, and frankly a scary period of time for us,” Garamendi said.

As the state and county move forward with reopening segments of an economy shuttered by the novel coronavirus and a stay-at-home order, the focus has turned from which activities are essential to which are at lower risk for contributing to the spread of the virus.

With that in mind, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday gave the goahead for resumption of some activities in the “Stage 2” category of reopening: curbside pickup and delivery for retail businesses as well as manufacturing, logistics and warehouses.

Yolo County immediately followed suit, amending its health order to allow those activities as of Friday.

Clothing stores, bookstores, florists and sporting goods stores are among the local retailers now open for business, albeit curbside only.

Several Davis residents reported taking advantage of the relaxed order on Friday by phoning in orders to Fleet Feet and other shops and picking their orders up outside.

UC leaders slam federal rules on sexual misconduct

Garamendi also spoke to issues related to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which makes low-interest loans available to small businesses. It was widely reported that minority and women business owners were largely shut out of the program, while larger corporations received the loans, a portion of which are forgivable.

The first round of loans were distributed through commercial banks and were depleted within two weeks. To maximize efficiency, many banks prioritized making loans to businesses with whom they had existing relationships, including the Ritz Carlton, Shake Shack and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Because minority-owned businesses are less likely to already have a relationship with a commercial bank, many of them missed out. “Roughly 95% of black-owned businesses,

SUNDAY, MAY 10, 2020

number of years ago — I don’t know how many — I suggested in this space that we should have an “11-Word Essay Contest” to tap into all the creative juices that flow through our brilliant town more swiftly than the Mighty Putah.

Much has changed since then, in our town and in our country and in the world at large. Plus, we have a number of newcomers to Davis who weren’t aware of the first contest and thus have never had a chance to try their hand at 11-word wizardry. So, I’m thinking it’s time for another 11-Word Essay Contest.

(Note: a “newcomer” is anyone who moved here after 1951.)

The rules of this contest are amazingly simple. Rule No. 1: there are no rules.

Simply write an essay using exactly 11 words. No more, no less.

Not 12, not 10. For the mathchallenged, that’s all the fingers on both hands, plus your big toe.

The essay can be about any subject. Attempts at humor are especially praiseworthy, but not required. Add punctuation as you wish, without penalty.

For example, “Donald fell in love with Kim and they lived

happily everafter” fits every contest rule perfectly, especially if you cheat and claim “everafter” is one word, not two.

However, “Did you know that Davis has more nuts than Winters?” falls short of the guidelines since a question mark does not constitute a word.

Without a doubt, a sure winner would be “BANANA in Davis means simply ‘Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anybody.’ ” All 11 words do not have to fit within a single sentence. In fact, there are no limits on how many sentences you may use, just as long as all those sentences combined contain exactly 11 words.

This would seemingly limit the number of sentences to 11 as well, but I’m open to being proven wrong. Who knows, maybe you

Davis police seek suspect in bike-trailer robbery

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Davis police say a man is wanted for robbery after threatening a theft victim with a knife.

The alleged theft occurred at about 10:30 p.m. Thursday on Drew Circle, where the suspect stole a bike trailer from the porch of an apartment on Drew Circle, according to Lt. Art Camacho.

“Shortly after the theft, the victim reportedly located the suspect across the street in another apartment complex, pulling the

trailer with a Camacho said.

bicycle,”

A confrontation ensued, during which the suspect reportedly brandished a knife at the victim before fleeing without the trailer.

No injuries were reported.

Camacho described the suspect as white male around 40 years old, 5-foot-9 with blond hair and a thin build, wearing black clothing, a black hat and riding a black bicycle.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Davis Police Department at 530747-5400.

can actually have a sentence with no words.

I remember wondering out loud before suggesting this contest the first time if 11 words were enough for anyone to say something meaningful. I figured I’d better give it a trial run myself to see if I could come up with something decent. I failed, but many folks who did enter the contest fared extremely well.

Not that I’m surprised, given that this is the Smartest City in America.

B

y the way, I just counted the words in the above sentence and came up with 13, counting “I’m” as one word. The rule here is that contractions will generally be considered as one word unless they’re made up out of thin air.

So, let’s say I wanted to enter “Not that I’m surprised, given that this is the Smartest City in America” in the 11-Word Essay Contest.

The first thing I’d have to do is trim the fat. Two whole words would have to be eliminated to reach the magic number of 11.

I could just drop “in America” off the ending, but that ends up leaving “Smartest City” just twisting in the wind.

Smartest City where — Yolo County?

Then again, it’s always possible to rearrange the furniture.

So, how does this sound? “Not that I’m surprised, given that this is America’s smartest city.”

Kids, from pre-K through their senior year in high school, are especially encouraged to enter as a break from the distance-learning regimen that was sprung on them without warning the Monday after Easter.

And how about these 11 words?

“Obviously, every contest worth its salt has to have a prize.”

Yes, a prize. OK, let’s say the author of the winning 11-word essay and a guest of the author’s choice get a free lunch at Burgers and Brew hosted by the abovepictured contest director and the Red-Headed Girl of His Dreams.

I’ll bring a tape measure to ensure proper social distancing.

You have a month or so to send those charming essays my way via email, snail mail or handdelivered in red crayon.

And let me finish with 11 more words: “With any luck, this contest should be all kinds of fun.”

Farmers Market cancels Picnic in the Park Special to The Enterprise Davis Farmers Market announced May 8 that its Picnic in the Park event is canceled for 2020. This is the first fullseason closure since the Wednesday evening event began in 1995.

From April through October, the market traditionally expands its hours, taking advantage of longer days for a weekly festival of food, music and family fun. The event, along with the famous Saturday market (since 1976), are reasons The Davis Enterprise readers continue to choose the market as the Best Community Event and Best Place to Take an Out-of-Towner.

Nevertheless, the Davis Farmers Market continues as an essential grocer, 3 to 6 p.m. on Wednesdays and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays in Central Park, Third and C streets. There are several restaurants offering grab-and-go takeout food too, but alcohol sales are prohibited.

Health guidelines have closed community gatherings for months to come.

Executive Director Randii MacNear said she plans Picnic in the Park to resume on April 7, 2021.

Since shelter-in-place orders began in March, Yolo County and state health officials have been clear that Certified Farmers Markets are essential to community food security. The Davis Farmers Market remains a place to grab fresh food — straight from the producer.

The market has reorganized vendor booth setups and added spacing between sellers. Masks are required. There are lots of signs requesting social distancing, and extra hand-washing stations. MacNear encourages shoppers to come alone to ease crowds.

Davis Shakespeare launches digital internship and reading group programs Enterprise staff The Davis Shakespeare Festival is keeping busy in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

On April 10, DSF launched its Digital Internship Program, in which students from coast to coast are able to gain practical skills in arts administration, participate in developing new arts programs and study classical literature’s relevance to today’s arts world. The second cohort will begin in the month of June

and applications will be available shortly at ShakespeareDavis.org.

Second, DSF announced a pilot online Shakespeare Reading Group, in which participants will discuss works and enjoy the presence of actors and guest speakers, beginning with “Henry IV Part 1.”

This will run from May 6 to June 3.

Learn more and sign up at shake spearedavis.org/reading-group.

The Digital Internship Program has nine interns that are current undergraduates and recent graduates from all over the country. All

of the interns “have different experiences, goals and — most importantly — interests,” says Tom Abruzzo, the program’s director.

With its new digital platform, it is a “unique opportunity to learn with and from each other regardless of their geography.” Abruzzo is excited about this new opportunity for DSF: “We are embracing new opportunities to engage with artists and budding administrators and, as always, are committed to a robust and enriching internship experience.”

The launch of the online Shakespeare Reading Group is an opportunity for all ages. Based on a monthly program previously hosted in person, the Reading Group will meet online via Zoom on Wednesdays from 4 to 5:20 p.m. through June 3. Rather than meeting once a month to break down the entire play in one sitting, DSF’s Shakespeare Reading Group will meet weekly to delve deeper into the literature one act at a time.

The program will include actors

and special guests who will read and perform selections, but the focal point will be active and engaging discussion.

Artistic Directors Rob Salas and Gia Battista state that DSF “believes in the importance of an active and engaged mind. While these challenging times can make it more difficult to want to participate in anything, we believe that education and community engagement are key components to maintaining mental health and emotional fortitude.”

OBITUARIES Mercedes (Mitzi) Sabin Aguirre

Fred L. Jacobsen

Sept. 15, 1930 — April 28, 2020

Mercedes (Mitzi) Sabin Aguirre passed away on April 28, 2020 at The Meadows of Napa Valley, after a long brave fight against multiple health issues.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Arthur Aguirre and her only son, Mark Aguirre. Mitzi is survived by her daughter, Laurie and husband Emmett Tetz, her grandson Lee and wife Ralitza Tetz, granddaughter Chrisy and husband Matthew Crow, great-granddaughter Hannah and great-grandson Liam Crow. Her surviving siblings are Engel Jr., Patrick and Albert.

Mitzi was born in Douglas, Ariz., on Sept. 15, 1930 to Engel and Belen Sabin.

She was the oldest of nine siblings. She married her high-school sweetheart, Art Aguirre, shortly after Art was discharged from the Navy in World War II. They then moved to California, where Art completed his studies at UC Davis. They fell in love with the once-small rural town and decided to raise their family there.

Mitzi worked for UCD in the vegetable crops department for many years as a lab technician. One of her joys was mentoring many domestic and international students and following their accomplishments all over the world.

Having lived as a golf widow for a number of years, Mitzi later decided to do something about it and took up the sport herself. She became an avid golfer and was a member of the Davis Women’s Golf Club. It was a very active group that

Aug. 6, 1930 — May 2, 2020

not only competed locally, but would arrange great travel adventures to far flung destinations.

Mitzi was an active member of the St. James Catholic Church and served on a number of committees.

She had a great love for her local parish and its members. Mitzi was also involved with the Women’s Health Initiative. This was a very comprehensive study that followed the health of some 1,000 women over 25 years, conducted by Stanford University.

Mitzi had a very inquisitive mind and was a voracious reader. She loved music of all types, and the live theatre arts. She was an avid traveler and loved to tell the story of golfing at midnight in Alaska. Mitzi shared a special adventure with her granddaughter on a trip to the Galapagos Islands. Another time, she and her grandson traveled to Costa Rica and through the Panama Canal. Mitzi and her daughter explored Australia and New Zealand together, never imagining that one day her granddaughter would marry an Aussie and relocate to the Land Down Under!

Mitzi had a generous heart for numerous charitable causes; chief among them, the plight of the various Native American tribes.

She supported a number of local charities such as STEAC, Children’s Home Society, the American Red Cross and the Parkinson’s Foundation. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to any of these charities in her honor.

We love you mother, good night until we meet again.

Peter Charles Richards Nov. 25, 1950 — April 27, 2020

Peter Charles Richards passed away at the age of 69 in Sacramento on Monday April 27, 2020. Pete was born on Nov. 25, 1950, in Los Angeles to Harold Swenson and Elise Morrison.

He grew up in Sacramento with his two brothers, Michael and Dean Richards along with his mother Elise Richards and his father Robert Richards.

He was interested in history and geography from an early age when he started collecting bottle caps and old coins. He graduated from Sacramento State College with a degree in Geography and his interest in collecting and geography were then combined when he opened his stamp, coin, and collectibles shop in Davis, California. He owned and operated Davis Gold and Silver Exchange for more than 25 years.

In his younger days, he enjoyed concerts, playing the guitar, skiing and gold prospecting in the Sierras. Later in his life he liked to travel and especially loved exploring his native California historical towns, and the streams that inspired the Gold Rush. Modern-day prospectors would frequently bring in their gold to his shop and they always received a fair price for their gold and hard work.

He had a passion for collecting local tokens, postcards and the history behind them throughout his career. Pete met Lachi Morse one summer day when she walked into his shop to buy stamps for her stamp album. They began dating, then married in 1992, and made their home in Woodland.

They had many great road trips together to look at ghost towns, and to explore National Parks and botanical gardens.

They especially looked forward to trips to Hawaii where Pete enjoyed snorkeling with the marine life.

They made a great team and he will be irreplaceable.

Pete retired in 2013, after receiving a diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). He then attended local writing classes and went on to write numerous short stories. He also had a sharp wit and could tell a great story. He contributed numerous photographs to a historical book on the city of Woodland and was featured in a KVIE documentary on ALS, “Beyond the Ice Bucket Challenge.”

Pete was preceded in death by his father Robert, mother Elise, and cousins Jenny and Bryan. He is survived by his wife Lachi, brothers Michael and Dean, sister-in-law Monica, sister Diane, nephew Travis, niece Chelsea, mother-in-law Lue, brother-in-law Aaron and cousin Jan from the United Kingdom; and other cousins, nieces, and nephews.

The memorial service will be held at a later time, once the COVID-19 shelter-inplace orders have been lifted. Arrangements are being handled by the Woodland Funeral Chapel, (530) 666-4200.

A special thank you for all the prayers and help from family, friends and neighbors, all the wonderful caregivers who brought comfort and laughter to Pete’s days, the ALS association who were always there for us, and the many doctors, nurses, therapists and specialists from the ALS Multidisciplinary Clinic who guided us through the disease and helped Pete live his best life.

Donations may be given to the ALS Association of Sacramento, 916-979-9265.

Fred L. Jacobson died in Davis on May 2, 2020.

Fred was of that rowdy generation coming of age in the 1960s that changed American society and have kept on being a force in society.

Born (Aug. 16, 1938) and raised (the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s.) in Salem, Ore., he graduated from North Salem High in 1957.

Both parents came from large families so he was surrounded by uncles, aunts and more cousins than he could count. He tried out a number of colleges and universities before graduating with bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Oregon State University. There, he got his love of the biological sciences.

For his major research project, he went rattlesnake-hunting near Sweet Home and bagged a number of them, hauling them carefully to the OSU lab. He would reached into the wooden crate he kept them in and grabbed one of them each day to draw its blood for his research project, and avoid them drawing his blood, or worse.

At OSU he met the love of his life, Nadine Klecha, in a biology class, and they married in June of 1967.

Fred was raised to pay his own way in life: financing his education by working at Blue Lake Packer’s cannery every summer and spending eight years in the Oregon National Guard and Army Reserve as a part-time soldier, where he could use his science background as a chemical warfare specialist.

After college, Fred and Nadine were accepted at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York in the Ph.D. program for biology. They loaded their car with suitcases and camping equipment and crossed the U.S., camping every night where they could. Cornell was much different than OSU — more formal in dress and extremely cold winters. After four years they were new Ph.D.s in biology.

Nadine was hired by UC Davis and they moved, there where Nadine taught for 23

years. They lived in Davis for a few years and then moved to nearby Dixon. Fred, after a three year teaching position at Yankton College in South Dakota, living a “long-distance” relationship with Nadine and experiencing winters that account for many Dakotan moving out West, packed up his car and returned to Davis.

He was hired by the environmental health and safety department of UCD, which was a perfect fit for him: he worked outdoors often, worked with great people, and was presented with many challenges that he loved to take on.

They both enjoyed raising and training Airedale terriers. The lovable Airdales won their hearts and it was a fun, win-win relationship. Many of their dogs became champion show dogs, but at home they were a joy to be with (even though they “ruled” the roost).

In November 2009, Nadine was diagnosed with cancer and died shortly afterwards.

Fred’s 42-year marriage to Nadine ended.

He started a new phase of life. He always found it easy to meet people: finding companionship with new and old friends. He laughed a lot and had a ready smile. He would fly up to Oregon to visit his brother Don and wife Judy, go to family reunions and visit favorite places like Silver Creek Falls and the Oregon Coast. At home, he always had at least one Airdale who wouldn’t allow him to become complacent.

Fred contracted pneumonia in April, which quickly became severe pneumonia, putting him in the ICU at Sutter Davis Hospital where he died on May 2, 2020. A loving thank you to the hard-working doctors and nurses of Sutter Davis Hospital ICU for their efforts, support and concern for Fred’s health and welfare.

Fred is survived by his brother Don Jacobsen and sister-in-law Judy Jacobsen of Jefferson, Ore.; numerous cousins; and his “support family,” the Margaret Stake (caregiver) family. Fred was laid to rest with his spouse at Silveyville Cemetery in Dixon.

DEATH NOTICE Richard A. Batsford Richard Alan Batsford, 73, of Davis, passed away April 13, 2020. A retired Air Force and airline pilot, he will be buried on May 11 at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery in Dixon. A celebration with military honors will be held at a later date when the cemetery can reopen.

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.

Robert Sewall Goodell Aug. 31, 1931 — April 23, 2020

Robert Sewall Goodell, 88, died peacefully at home of natural causes on April 23, 2020, with his daughters at his side.

Bob was born in Davenport, Iowa, on Aug. 31, 1931, to Grace Elizabeth (née Behrensmeyer) and Harvey Leeper Goodell.

The oldest of three brothers, he grew up in Dayton, Ohio, spending summers and holidays with family in Quincy, Ill. He graduated from Fairview-White High School in 1949, where he lettered in football, basketball and track. As a senior, he earned the highest score in the state of Ohio in social studies.

From 1949 to 1953, Bob attended Northwestern University where he earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. A middle-distance runner on the Northwestern track team, he put himself through college on an ROTC scholarship and by working as the house manager for his fraternity, Lambda Chi Alpha.

On his 21st birthday, he met the love of his life, Sallie Lou Smith, on a blind date in New York arranged by their aunts. It was

love at first sight and they were married the following year. They enjoyed a 63-year marriage before Sallie passed away in 2017.

Following graduation from Northwestern, Bob served three years in the U.S. Navy as a gunnery officer on destroyers in the Pacific Fleet.

An officer on the USS Floyd B. Parks when it collided with another ship, Bob was credited with helping to pull some of his crewmates out of the water following that collision.

After the Navy, Bob received an MBA from Harvard University. After a brief stint in Ohio, Bob and Sallie moved in 1960 to the San Fernando Valley where Bob took a job with Litton Industries before beginning a long and successful career at Teledyne Inc. as a group executive, including 20 years as president of Teledyne Inet in Torrance.

Bob and Sallie raised their four children in Canoga Park and Woodland Hills. Both were active in the Haynes Street School

PTA. Bob was a dedicated YMCA volunteer and a Gray-Y and Indian Guide leader. He also served as the business manager for the local little league. Bob always made time to attend his children’s sporting events, dance recitals, motor-cross races, and band competitions.

Throughout his life Bob was an avid reader, favoring mysteries and historical nonfiction. He instilled his love of books and intellectual curiosity in all of his children. He loved to play golf and was a dedicated sports fan; he particularly enjoyed following college football – his favorite teams to cheer on were the Ohio State Buckeyes and USC Trojans.

During his retirement, Bob spent several years participating in the Sage program at Cal State Northridge studying topics from Russian literature to history to political science. He also loved getting together with several of his retired work colleagues to play bridge at a standing game at the

Woodland Hills Country Club.

Bob and Sallie moved to Davis shortly before Sallie’s death in 2017. Bob enjoyed living at Carlton Senior Living of Davis and being closer to family.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Grace and Harvey; brother Harvey Charles Goodell; son Robert Charles Goodell; and his beloved wife, Sallie.

Bob is survived by daughters Ann ter Haar (Wiete) and Mary Hayakawa (Greg); son David Goodell (Silvia); daughter-in-law Suzanne Barker Goodell; and grandchildren Carolyn Goodell, William Goodell, Mia ter Haar (Dillon), Elise ter Haar (Dan), Julia Sachdev (Shiv), Charlotte ter Haar (Emil), Robbie Goodell, Russell Goodell, Devon Hayakawa, James Hayakawa and Jordan Hayakawa. He was also blessed to have met his five great-grandchildren.

A memorial service to celebrate Bob’s rich and full life will be postponed until a time we can gather together. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in Bob’s name to the West Valley YMCA at ymcala.org or another charity of your choice.

Gift card programs are multiplying “G

ift cards are like interest-free loans,” a San Antonio restaurant owner told the Washington Post last week. They are proving to be a life vest for small businesses struggling to pay their bills during the pandemic.

Davis Downtown’s Gifting Stimulus Program has been a big hit. It reopened Friday at 3 p.m. with an additional $25,000 in matching funds. More on that later.

Davis merchants outside of the Downtown Davis Business Improvement District are ineligible for that money. (Businesses in the downtown core are required to pay membership fees). But a group of local residents banded together to start their own stimulus fund called Greater Davis Stimulus Program. This gift card matching program is similar to the downtown program. For gift cards/ certificates purchased through May 31, the program will match that purchase, up to $500 per small business. The following local, small businesses eligible for matching contributions this month are: Sudwerk Brewing Co. (https://squareup.com/ gift/9QSNTA2F9HR0F/ order); The beauty supply store Sassafras Beauty (email: dsassafras18@ gmail.com); beauty salon Estética Art & Beauty (https://esteticaartand beauty.com/, or call 530848-7832); fitness program Rowdy (https:// www.therowdyco.com/ rowdy-gear); Running Rivers Wine Cellar (email riversrunning@hotmail. com); and Super Owl Brewing, which met its match in the first few hours.

Nils Sorenson, a UC Davis grad who lives in South Davis and owns Bailarin Cellars, a small winery and tasting room in West Sacramento, is the contact person. He said the initial funds came from three local groups who were not interested in recognition. “They just want to help,” he said Thursday. “I think there’s a lot of interest for other folks to contribute further.

The goal is to try to help as many of these small businesses as we can.”

To suggest a business or donate to the match program, call Sorenson at 530-219-4111. They hope to continue adding beneficiaries as donations come in.

“I love our small town,” Sorenson said. “I want to make sure these small businesses can keep going.”

——— The Davis Downtown Gifting Stimulus Program was set to restart at 3 p.m. on Friday. As of Thursday, it had just over $25,000 in matching funds for this second and final phase.

Most of that came from Greiner Heating, Air & Solar Energy. There’s a good chance that if you’re reading this in the paper edition, that match has been met.

Dozens of businesses were still part of the program if they didn’t hit their stimulus fund cap in the first round. Many more didn’t sign up in time, but jumped at the second chance. Each gift card purchased by community members will be matched, up to $1,000 per business, doubling the business’ income. Of course, you can purchase gift cards or make donations to any business, anytime. Also, this is not related to the now-defunct Downtown Davis Gift Card.

With this additional matching stimulus money, up to $50,000 more will be infused into downtown by our community purchasing gift cards/ certificates from their favorite businesses through the program’s web portal, https://davisdowntown. com/stimulus-program.

The first round pumped $130,000 into core-area businesses.

Executive Director Brett Maresca said the DDBA board also thanks the city of Davis, Tandem Properties, Bill & Nancy Roe, and

the Chen Building for their financial contributions to the program. He said they don’t plan to reopen the program in the near future; they need to focus on other pressing matters.

——— Davis Farmers Market’s Picnic in the Park event is the latest COVID-19 casualty. With health guidelines closing community gatherings for months to come, it was clear the market must remain in its traditional form this summer, without the music, alcohol and picnicking that come with the expanded Picnic in the Park hours. The weekly event is set to resume April 7, 2021.

The market is open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays and from 3 to 6 p.m. on Wednesdays. Picnic in the Park is typically April through October, 4:30 to sunset in Central Park. I should disclose that I do public relations work for the farmers market, but my column is independent.

——— The Burger Patch’s sign went up at Davis Commons on May 4. I reached out to the owner but did not receive an immediate update on a projected opening date. The restaurant fills the former Solomon’s Deli space at 500 First St., Suite 9.

The restaurant serves Beyond Meat and other plant-based products. The menu focuses on organic and non-GMO ingredients. It uses sustainable packaging, and urges reduction of animal-based food consumption to help the environment.

——— The Dutch Bros. Coffee at 980 Olive Drive in Davis was closed for a couple of days for upgrades from May 3-5. It’s back open — 24 hours a day.

——— Peet’s Coffee reopened its downtown store at 231 E St. Its hours are 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Marketplace location is open 6-4:30.

——— It appears that the Arco gas station at 333 Mace Blvd. at Second Street is converting to a Chevron. It

was temporarily closed this week, and the signs were changed.

Chevron has three other gas stations in Davis: at 4475 Chiles Road, 1601 Research Park Drive, and 1935 Anderson Road.

Arco’s only other Davis station is at 705 Russell Blvd.

——— The Sacramento Bee reported on Thursday that the Nordstrom store at Arden Fair Mall is closed for good, a victim of the pandemic. The Nordstrom at the Roseville Galleria is expected to reopen after restrictions lift.

Macy’s, another Arden Fair anchor tenant, announced plans in February to close 125 stores but has not said which ones.

Arden Fair Mall owner Mark Friedman told The Bee that Macy’s and the mall’s J.C. Penney store are among the country’s most successful for their brands.

Sears, which filed for bankruptcy in 2018, is the mall’s other anchor tenant.

Some expect Sears to close permanently as well, according to CNN. Several major retailers have filed for bankruptcy in recent weeks, including J. Crew, Pier 1 and Neiman Marcus. Some reports say Macy’s is not far behind, and that J.C. Penney will file as soon as this week.

One other note about a landmark Sacramento business: The Italian restaurant Biba was set to close for good on Saturday.

——— What’s open? What’s not For the eighth week in a row, I offer a list of Davis food outlets that appear to be open for takeout or delivery. I confirm these each Thursday. Not much has changed in the last week. Look for more updates in retail options as the state begins allowing curbside retail pickup at non-essential businesses as soon as Friday. Examples of these would include stores selling books, sporting goods, music and flowers.

Call ahead or check online first, as hours are

limited. For a more complete list, check my Google sheet Davis Businesses during COVID-19 at https://bit.ly/Davis Businesses. In it, there are sheets for Restaurantsopen, Restaurants-closed, Other businesses-retail, Other businesses-service, and Special hours (for seniors or compromised shoppers), and Gifting Stimulus Program (Phase 1 beneficiaries).

RULES: ‘These changes are a big step backwards,’ chancellor says From Page A1 harassment rules could move higher education institutions further from that goal.”

Previous guidance issued by the Obama administration made it clear that schools would be held to account for mishandling cases of sexual misconduct. Under that guidance, a number of high profile coverups and mishandled complaints on college campuses were exposed.

The Obama-era guidelines asked schools to use a “preponderance of evidence” standard in Title IX hearings and discouraged subjecting the accused and accusers to cross-examination.

Critics of those guidelines maintained that students accused of sexual misconduct were not afforded their right to due process, and dozens of students won court cases against their schools for violating those rights.

The new Title IX regulations, which go into effect Aug. 14, bolster protections for university students and employees accused of sexual harassment and relieve schools of some legal liabilities.

“Today we release a final rule that recognizes we can continue to

combat sexual misconduct without abandoning our core values of fairness, presumption of innocence and due process,” U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos told reporters on Wednesday.

The new regulations require colleges to hold live hearings, during which both the accusers and accused can be cross-examined.

Many colleges already hold Title IX hearings, but only a few allow cross-examination.

UC leaders criticized these changes, saying they could make it more difficult for survivors of sexual violence to report harassment or assault. “Subjecting those reporting sexual harassment to direct cross-examination — in spite of more compassionate options — could deter already reluctant and sometimes traumatized complainants from coming forward,” Napolitano stated.

In 2018, a court mandate required public colleges in several states to allow cross-examination in Title IX hearings. According to a report from the University of Michigan, far fewer students pursued formal Title IX investigations after the change, though a similar number of reports were made.

“These changes are a big step

backwards and I am concerned they might discourage survivors from coming forward in the future,” UC Davis Chancellor Gary May said in a statement.

The new rules also limit the scope of incidents schools are obligated to investigate. Until now, colleges have been required to investigate incidents brought to their attention by any “mandatory reporter,” including instructors and resident advisers. Under the new regulations, schools are only obligated to investigate complaints filed through a formal process.

Additionally, colleges no longer need to designate many employees, including athletic coaches and trainers, as mandatory reporters.

Colleges will also be allowed to choose their own evidentiary standards — “preponderance of evidence” or “clear and convincing evidence.”

While schools were previously responsible for investigating incidents they “reasonably should” have known about, a school would now have to be proven to be “deliberately indifferent” to reports of sexual misconduct to be held legally culpable for neglecting its mandate.

“Lowering the standards to

which the federal government holds schools appears to weaken fair and just policies that have taken decades to establish,” Napolitano stated. “We can do better than this.”

Another change relieves colleges of their responsibility to investigate incidents that happen off campus and outside school programs and activities, such as at off-campus apartments. Schools will still be responsible for investigating misconduct that occurs in “a building owned or controlled by a student organization that is officially recognized by a postsecondary institution,” including fraternity and sorority houses.

The schools’ jurisdiction also extends to school-related activities like field trips and conferences, but not to incidents involving students who are studying abroad.

Congress has the power to reverse the new regulations. For that to happen, Democrats would likely need to win a majority in the U.S. Senate and also keep their majority in the House of Representatives in November’s general elections.

While condemning the policy changes, May and Napolitano reaffirmed UC’s commitment to

protecting survivors. “UC Davis will never relent in the fight against sexual violence,” May stated.

“Despite this setback, I am committed to a fair and compassionate adjudication process for all.”

UC Davis administrators said they are still looking at how the new regulations will affect Title IX procedures on campus.

“At UC Davis, we are reviewing the new regulations and will work with the UC system to determine how they may be implemented,” said Wendi Delmendo, the UC Davis Title IX Officer. “Nothing in the new regulations changes the support we continue to offer to survivors of sexual violence or sexual harassment.”

— To make a report about sexual violence or sexual harassment, contact the UC Davis Title IX officer at 530-752-9466 or wjdel mendo@ucdavis.edu or the Harassment and Discrimination Assistance and Prevention Program (HDAPP) at 530-747-3864.

The Center for Advocacy, Resources and Education (CARE) also offers confidential resources for any student, faculty or staff who have experienced sexual violence or sexual harassment.

Community media and that ‘Yolo way’ ...

DAVIS MEDIA ACCESS

BY AUTUMN LABBÉ-RENAULT Special to The Enterprise

A

ll is quiet within Davis Media Access as I wrap Episode 15 of the “COVID-19 Community Report” on KDRT. Last month I wrote about my decision to launch this twice-weekly live radio show.

Since then I’ve interviewed elected officials from various city councils through Congress, nonprofit and business leaders, teachers, foundation staff, social justice activists, and hospital CEOs. Each has had a piece of valuable information for our local communities, and together, they’ve helped stitch together a narrative about how our Yolo County communities are faring during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a public affairs host, it’s my job to ask thoughtful questions that will elicit informative responses. If I do that well, then

we have a good conversation that allows for good insights, and even vulnerability. We all wear our roles and titles, but we also all have our concerns during the pandemic, and people are embracing our commonalities.

Slowing down and cherishing the good things in our lives has been a common refrain, as has helping others. I’ve learned firsthand what the “Yolo way” (I think I have to credit County Supervisor Don Saylor for that phrase) is during this crisis, and it’s rooted in kindness and generosity. I’m grateful to all those who have participated in the show and expressed support for it.

I’ll admit that the urgency to push out as much local information as I could in those early weeks has ebbed, a bit, but there are still plenty of perspectives to

share. It’s not that we’re clear of the pandemic; I guess I’ve just adapted somewhat to the “new normal,” and doing a radio show is part of that. For now, the show airs live at noon on Tuesdays and Fridays, and repeats at 5 p.m. both days and at noon on Sundays. You can also listen online at kdrt.org.

I’m booking guests through May, and will re-evaluate the need for the show at that time. I suspect I will continue it for a while, though perhaps not twice weekly. It takes me about 25 hours a week to prepare to go live twice weekly, and those kinds of hours aren’t supportable once we move out of crisis mode.

As I prepared for the Big Day of Giving this week — and thought longingly of the Big Day at the Dock event we generally co-produce but could not this year—I’ve spent no small amount of time reflecting on

DMA’s work at this time. We’re curating videos submitted to the Yolo County Community Diary, a collaborative storytelling project helping to document this extraordinary time (https:// davismedia.org/diary).

We’re meeting with individual nonprofits to help highlight what their communities are dealing with. We’ve retooled our training modules, equipment, and software to help people produce local content from their homes. We’re applying for loans and grants and trying to figure our way forward. And we’re pushing out school board meetings, and providing a wealth of educational programming for those managing distance learning from home.

In a time of crisis, local media has a big impact, connecting us to what’s relevant and important, especially at this time of physical distancing. You know

this because you read this newspaper, and maybe because you listen to programming on KDRT or watch local programming on cable or online. We’re fortunate here in Davis.

Meanwhile, life goes on. Teens are using Zoom to produce new episodes of “Teens on Topic.”

KDRT programs are learning to produce radio from the comfort of their own homes, and I’ll host Sen. Bill Dodd (D-Napa) this Friday. Please check out Davis Media Access on YouTube and tune into KDRT 905.7 FM or kdrt.org. There’s a wealth of perspectives right here in our now community.

UCD likely to offer fall remote instruction

VIRTUAL: Businesses waiting on funds

BY CALEB HAMPTON

will remain unchanged through the quarter, much less the entire academic year,” he stated.

Due to these uncertainties, May emphasized the need to keep options open for students and faculty.

“We anticipate that our instructional plan will enable substantial flexibility to support student learning and degree progress,” he said.

According to the update, campus planning teams are working with academic departments and professional schools on an individual basis to determine how in-person classes might be offered fall quarter.

Decisions will be guided by public health experts and will be in keeping with any directives issued by the state, county or university, May said.

Pending an ongoing lawsuit, tuition and fees for the 2020-21 academic year will remain unchanged. “Tuition and mandatory fees have been set regardless of the method of instruction and will not be refunded in the event instruction occurs remotely for any part of the Academic Year,” the university stated in a budget analysis document. The same message has been circulated to students at UC Davis and other campuses.

91% of Latino-owned businesses, 91% of Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander-owned businesses, and 75% of Asian-owned businesses stand close to no chance of receiving a PPP loan through a mainstream bank or credit union,” the Center for Responsible Lending warned in early April.

Even for business owners that were approved for PPP loans, many have yet to receive them. A tax accountant from Fairfield who called in to the town hall said she received six calls in a single day from small business owners waiting on loan disbursements.

“They’ve got to make payroll and there is no money coming in,” the tax accountant said. The businesses kept their staff on payroll with the understanding that the loans would be available.

Ellinwood acknowledged that due to the high demand for the loans, there have been “challenges processing loans and getting them to businesses.” More than 1.6 million loans were given out, totaling $342 billion, during the first round of relief. Roughly 2.2 million loans totaling $175 billion were given out in the first week of the second round of relief funding.

“We’re working as hard as we can,” Ellinwood said.

University researchers to host COVID-19 symposium

Garamendi stressed the importance of implementing anti-infection protocols in workplaces before businesses reopen. He was surprised, he said, to see workers at a hardware store near his Walnut Creek ranch last month who were not wearing masks or practicing physical distancing.

“If we’re going to be successful in reopening the economy, it’s going to have to be in a way that the workers are safe,” Garamendi said. “We’re gonna be seeing new rules coming out and new process and

Enterprise staff writer UC Davis all but committed this week to offering students the option of taking classes remotely in fall 2020.

“We anticipate that, with few exceptions, course offerings will be available remotely for students who either cannot be accommodated in physical classroom spaces due to the fall health directives or who need to remain isolated due to pre-existing health conditions or other considerations,” UC Davis Chancellor Gary S. May stated Friday in a weekly update on the campus’ response to COVID-19.

Campus operations have been suspended since March due to the pandemic, with instruction continuing remotely.

The availability of remote instruction options in the fall does not rule out the possibility that in-person classes might also be held.

“The only certainty is that we can have no certainty now, in early May, about what the state of the pandemic will be come late September, when the fall quarter will commence,” May stated.

“To make planning even more challenging, there is no certainty that whatever conditions and mandates are in place on the first day of the quarter

BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer The second in a series of virtual COVID-19 symposiums organized by UC Davis is scheduled for Thursday, May 14, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The symposium will be streamed via Zoom and YouTube.

University of California President Janet Napolitano will deliver a welcome address. Following her remarks, a panel of experts will address questions and concerns from community members, as well as from former NASA astronaut and UC Davis professor Steve Robinson, who will moderate the discussion.

The panelists include Dr. David Lubarsky, vice chancellor of Human Health Sciences and chief executive officer at UC Davis Health; Dr. Allison Brashear, dean of the

School of Medicine at UC Davis; Dr. Emanuel Maverakis, professor of dermatology and Immunology at UC Davis Medical School; and Dr. Atul Malhotra, professor of medicine, Pulmonology and Critical Care at UC San Diego Health.

The panelists will be addressing questions on whether pets place you at risk of contracting coronavirus; whether the virus can be spread through sexual transmission; ongoing research on COVID-19 therapies; SARS-CoV-2-inflicted secondary infections and their management; testing, and more.

Worker protections

procedures.” Dolbow Vann emphasized the need to protect California’s agricultural workers and said that new safety guidelines for farming and processing centers will be issued by the end of this week.

On Wednesday, Newsom signed an executive order creating a presumption that all essential workers who test positive for COVID-19 were infected at work and are eligible for workers compensation benefits.

Food supply chain Questions were also raised about reports of a disconnect in the food supply chain. Over the past month, food rotted on farms and milk was dumped down drains while demand for food banks skyrocketed and children went hungry.

According to Dolbow Vann, the news of food going to waste was reported in other states. “In California, we are not having the same struggles,” she said.

Her USDA office has weekly calls with state senators to locate food not being used. “We have yet to not be able to match up a producer with a location to get food,” Dolbow Vann said.

Contact-tracing workforce Garamendi also spoke about legislation he introduced in April, which would create a nationwide corps to carry out coronavirus testing and contact tracing. The UNITE Act would mobilize Peace Corps, AmeriCorps and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) volunteers to support public health workers.

Using the existing AmeriCorps framework, the bill would dramatically bolster recruitment and require that the corps “prioritize activities related to coronavirus testing and contact tracing.”

There are currently about 75,000 AmeriCorps

volunteers in the United States. The UNITE Act mandates the recruitment of an additional 500,000 personnel, the number of contact tracers public health experts estimate the U.S. will need to reopen the economy. It would also permanently raise the compensation floor for volunteers to 200 percent of the poverty level, roughly double the current minimum.

“I think the next CARES bill will have a significant amount for money for testing and tracing personnel across the nation,” Garamendi said.

According to Henry, California received a National Dislocated Worker Grant from the federal government, which can be used to train contact tracers. “We have started to have conversations around training with community colleges,” Henry said. She added that contact tracing will be a completely new employment occupation for almost all workers hired to do that work.

U.S. Postal Service Garamendi also spoke to community members’ concerns about the future of

the U.S. Postal Service, which is in financial trouble even as it remains a vital service for millions of Americans.

Many people in the U.S. rely on the Postal Service for rural mail delivery, including for bills and the delivery of medications.

The Postal Service is also essential for voting by mail in elections, especially while COVID-19 infection risks may restrict in-person voting through the presidential primary elections and November’s general elections.

Democrats are pushing for $25 billion in funding for the Postal Service in the next coronavirus relief bill, while President Trump has said he will block aid to the Postal Service unless it hikes its shipping fees.

“There is vast support in Congress,” Garamendi said at the town hall. “The Postal Service must continue. That fight will go on.

The Postal Service will get the support that it needs — with a lot of kicking and screaming — but it will get done.”

COUNTY: Yolo officials work to meet state benchmarks for reopening From Page A1 progress on a number of public health benchmarks in order to move further into Stage 2 of reopening. Among the activities that remain in that stage: ■Destination retail, including shopping malls and swap meets ■Personal services limited to car washes, pet grooming, tanning and landscape gardening ■Office-based businesses ■Dine-in restaurants ■Outdoor museums and open gallery spaces Stage 3 — those activities deemed at higher risk — include movie theaters, religious services and personal care like nail and hair salons. Those activities may still be some ways off. And before they can reach Stage 3, counties must meet the criteria set out by the governor in order to move further into Stage 2.

Yolo County is not yet there.

Last week brought some encouraging news to the county: a community testing site capable of administering 135 COVID-19 tests daily opened at the county fairgrounds in Woodland and just one new case was confirmed countywide in the last week.

The bad news: the death toll at the Stollwood Convalescent Hospital grew to 15, with four deaths in the last week.

Stollwood, on the campus of St. John’s Retirement Village in Woodland, is one of four senior-care facilities in Yolo County to report a coronavirus case and the hardest hit, with 32 residents and 34 staff members testing positive and 14 residents and one staff member dying.

Three other senior-care facilities have reported a single case: The Californian Assisted Living and Dementia Care facility in

Woodland, Atria Covell Gardens in Davis and Alderson Convalescent Hospital in Woodland.

An Alderson staff member tested positive weeks ago, according to Yolo County spokeswoman Carolyn Jhajj. That information was reported to the state but was not reported on the county’s COVID-19 online dashboard, which provides data on cases in longterm care facilities. The state Department of Public Health disclosed the case Thursday in an update of cases at skilled nursing facilities throughout California.

Speaking to the supervisors last week, Brian Vaughn, the county’s public health director, said a single case at a facility does not indicate an outbreak so would not be included on the county’s COVID-19 dashboard. However, the single case of a resident at The Californian is included on the dashboard, though the cases at Alderson and Atria, both of which involved employees, are not.

No additional cases have been reported at any of the three facilities.

Nationwide, one third of all coronavirus deaths are residents or workers in nursing homes or other longterm care facilities for older adults, according to a report Saturday in the New York Times.

In Yolo County, nearly 40 percent of cases and threefourths of deaths are in such facilities, namely Stollwood.

Senior-care facilities are “where we’re most likely to see outbreaks and deaths, so we’re keeping a close eye on that,� Vaughn told county supervisors.

And what’s happening in those facilities will play a role in how soon Yolo County can move further into Stage 2 of reopening.

One of the key metrics determining whether a

county can resume more activities is COVID-19 deaths; specifically, having no deaths in the previous two weeks. Yolo County has reported four deaths in the last week.

The county fares better on confirmed cases. Under the governor’s requirements, a county can have no more than one new case per 10,000 people in the last 14 days to move further into Stage 2 reopening. For Yolo County, that would be no more than about 22 new

cases. In the last two weeks, the county has reported 14 cases and in the last week just one.

Other metrics include testing capacity, requiring minimum daily testing of 1.5 residents per 1,000, which would amount to about 330 tests conducted in the county every day. It’s not clear when that capacity would be met locally.

However, the new community testing facility can provide up to 135 tests per day, on top of testing being

performed at local healthcare facilities.

Containment capacity, meanwhile, requires at least 15 contact tracers per 100,000 residents and the ability to temporarily house at least 15 percent of county residents experiencing homeless.

The county appears to have met the latter metric, with 283 homeless individuals in motels throughout the county, and is close on the former with at least 30 people trained as contact

tracers as of last week.

On Tuesday, the board will receive an update on all of those metrics from county health officials who are preparing a “local readiness� plan required by the state before counties can move forward in reopening.

Finding a way to deal with this challenge

BY JOHN GARAMENDI Special to The Enterprise

W

e are living through a tragic moment in global history. The steps we take today to address the coronavirus pandemic will shape the world we live in tomorrow.

We see each day the best of the human spirit as individuals fight for their life and medical and first responders risk theirs to assist in that struggle. We see people all across America volunteering and finding ways to assist from sewing masks to generously donating money and food. We observe our best research institutions gearing up to find cures.

We also know that all this human kindness, creativity, and effort is not sufficient to turn the tide. In order to beat COVID-19 we must have a vaccine. Until we do, we should take the advice of Tom Frieden, the former head of the CDC, who argued the only way that we can control this pandemic is a robust testing and contact tracing program. Such a program will be a massive

COMMENTARY undertaking, but we can, and must, do it.

This is why I introduced H.R. 6560, the Undertaking National initiatives to Tackle Epidemic (UNITE) Act. This bill would mobilize the necessary testing and contact tracing personnel and equipment nationwide by rapidly expanding existing service corps at the national, state, and local level. The Corporation for National Services and its programs like AmeriCorps and Teach for America already exist and can be rapidly expanded to deploy tens of thousands of Americans to conduct the necessary testing and the follow up tracing of infection.

California is already setting up a medical support program called Health Corps, and Los Angles is working to establish a tracing corps. My UNITE bill would fund and organize a national program to fund these service organizations.

I know right now there are 7,300 Americans who are ready

to join the fight. They are the Peace Corps volunteers who were forced to leave their posts in more than 70 countries as Covid 19 spread around the world. As returned Peace Corps Volunteers, my wife Patti and I have seen firsthand how capable our volunteer networks are at stopping the spread of diseases. We were part of the program to end smallpox. Now that the virus has brought these volunteers home, it is time to utilize their skills to help heal our country.

Specifically, the UNITE Act would: ■ Direct AmeriCorps and Peace Corps to utilize their nearly hundred thousand volunteers who are on the sidelines unable to serve their communities as they obey the shelter in place order. Let’s put them to work in COVID-19 testing and contact tracing programs.

■ Direct AmeriCorps to increase recruitment and onboard a total of 500,000 volunteers to ensure adequate personnel for testing, tracing, and medical support.

■ Double the stipend for volunteers to twice the federal poverty line to ensure they have the necessary resources to conduct their work.

■ Give hiring preference to veterans and anyone who is unemployed due to the pandemic.

■ Fund an additional 10,000 FEMA Cadre of On-Call Response/Recovery Employees (CORE) to provide training and assistance to the volunteers.

■ Direct the Peace Corps to extend health benefits for evacuated Peace Corps volunteers for six months and to waive all nonmedical application requirements for re-enrollment of all volunteers wishing to return to the Peace Corps service after Agency operations resume.

■ Require the Peace Corps to report to Congress on the progress of the agency’s offer to re-enroll each evacuated Peace Corps volunteer and expeditiously return the roughly 7,300 volunteers to their foreign posts once the overseas Peace Corps operations restart.

The challenges we face ahead are daunting, but we have the resources and dedicated volunteers needed to overcome them.

We simply require coordination and bold leadership. This bill provides the framework for this essential work, and I will work tirelessly to make it law.

———— I will keep you up to date with monthly columns in The Davis Enterprise, as well as on my Facebook page at http://www. facebook.com/repgaramendi, and on my government website at http://garamendi.house.gov.

I can better represent you in Washington if I know your views and suggestions. You can contact me at my Davis district office, 412 G St., Davis, CA 95616, or 530-753-5301; or at my Washington, D.C., office, 2368 Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, D.C., 20515, or 202-225-1880.

COMMENTARY Davis chamber backs Aggie Research Campus

BY CORY KOEHLER Special to The Enterprise

A

t the Chamber of Commerce, we are aware of the economic devastation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the damage being done to virtually all businesses in Davis.

This grim reality is the backdrop for the ongoing city review of the Aggie Research Campus.

We believe ARC is a responsible and critical new development initiative that will be a key driver of economic growth for Davis and the region for years to come. This is strongly reinforced by the economic analysis.

For the financial well-being of our city and the many struggling businesses that call Davis home, we hope the city leadership recognizes the stakes and puts their full weight behind ARC. According to the independent fiscal analysis produced for the city by EPS Inc. the ARC will generate an annual General Fund surplus of nearly $1 million in the first phase of the project, reaching a $5.44 million annual surplus at full buildout.

One-time fees are also significant, with the City receiving $113 million and the Davis Joint Unified School District receiving nearly $4.4 million. Countywide, the total annual economic impact of the project will reach $2.2 billion.

Emerging in the aftermath of the worst job losses our country has seen since the Great Depression, the ARC is projected to create more than 6,000 new jobs, generating $500 million in annual employee compensation and benefits, and will add more than 9,000 ongoing jobs in Yolo County generating nearly $700 million in employee compensation and benefits. That is a customer base that our members, and especially the small businesses negatively affected by recent events, would like a chance to attract.

The ARC will accomplish this by attracting businesses that emerge from research being done at UC Davis to solve some of the world’s biggest problems, further strengthening our city’s proud ties to the campus, and by taking advantage of its strategically beneficial location between the Bay Area and Sacramento.

By any reasonable standard, the fiscal analysis is a ringing endorsement for the project.

In the best of times, it is a worthy project that will provide tangible financial benefit for the city and its residents. In these times, we see the ARC as a fiscal stimulus proposal for Davis, generating significant and desperately needed revenue for the city and local businesses without new taxes.

We are proud to announce that the Davis Chamber of Commerce is a strong proponent of the ARC and will gladly lend out support to the initiative. We firmly believe that if given the chance a majority of Davis voters will show their support as well, at the ballot box.

— Cory Koehler is the executive director of the Davis Chamber of Commerce.

LETTERS Earth Day a success The 50th anniversary of Earth Day was celebrated by many in our community with song and action — starting with the Earth Day Sing Out, in which people across the city joined together in songs about love, justice, and the environment, from the shelter of our homes.

Thank you to those who made it happen — community broadcasters KDRT and Davis Media Access, co-organizers Sunrise Davis, Climate Reality Project at UCD, Extinction Rebellion Sacramento, Cool Davis, Yolo Interfaith Alliance for Climate Justice, Mothers Out Front and Davis Independent Music Initiative, and the sponsors — the city of Davis Arts and Cultural Affairs and Sierra Club Yolano Group. Thanks to all the musicians who shared their talents!

Thank you also to those who raised your voice in action, making calls and writing letters. The Earth needs you now — as do our frontline communities. New fracking permits have been issued in California during the shutdown, threatening clean water supplies for vulnerable communities. Polluting industries are being bailed out while worker protections are ignored. We need to support each other, act in solidarity, and work to create a livable future.

It’s not too late to raise your voice. We invite you to sing out — take action — and connect with voices and faces of our community at www.climatestrikedavis. com.

Zoom calls on Sundays, 2 to 3 p.m., welcome people of all generations who support each other in taking action for climate justice and a green new deal, hosted by Sunrise Davis and the Climate Reality Project. Sign up on our website.

Service to the max Recently, my elderly parents needed to have a legal document notarized. I had no idea how to get that accomplished in our upside-down world of Pandemic living.

However, all it took was a phone call to Laura Christensen of PDQ Parcel Dispatch, and we had a plan.

While Laura was willing to come to the car, I had my parents sign the documents at a table in front of the store. Laura went above and beyond in countless ways for us handling it all so professionally and with tremendous kindness. Our community is lucky to have PDQ at 216 F St. open.

Watching Laura, and the rest of the staff at this family-owned business, operate is like a lesson in service and goodness. Thank you, PDQ! Michelle Weiss Davis

Thank you, Safeway I just wanted to thank the store director at the South Davis Safeway for making our COVID lives a little easier.

Dakota Planinz immediately recognized my inquiry re a hope for curbside pickup.

Our household is battling cancer and is caring for a seriously immunecompromised loved one. He offered to take our emailed grocery list and package things up for non-contact, curbside pickup. When questions arise, his staff call to inquire about substitutions and additional items. We feel so lucky and connected with a local business.

Thank the baseball gods and ESPN for KBO

O

n Tuesday, life in the Perez household regained a tiny bit of normalcy.

While reading the Los Angeles Times that morning, I noticed this headline: “Missing Major League Baseball? Here’s Korean baseball to the rescue.”

As Victoria Kim reported in The Times, “With ESPN reaching an 11th-hour deal to broadcast Korea Baseball Organization games, a host of U.S. fans starved for live sports were turning to the Korean league, with its distinct culture and avid fandom.”

I immediately texted the Perez boys to let them know to set their alarms for some 2:30 a.m. ballgames. Because annoyingly, the KBO has decided to play their games when it’s convenient for them and not for baseballhungry Americans. More on the schedule in a minute.

Our family is missing baseball in a big way. Husband S and I even went to a couple of Spring Training games in Arizona in February before the world was

shut down, to watch our Dodgers start their sure-to-be World Series-winning season. Seriously.

Do not even start bitching about the Dodgers to us.

As long-time Dodger fans — Young S used to fall asleep with Vin Scully telling him “bedtime” stories via the transistor radio nestled on his pillow — this year really felt like the one. You know, the one where cheating by the Houston Asterisks would not deny them their victories.

My own love of baseball comes in part from my guys’ love of it.

The camaraderie they enjoy as they share news about Clayton Kershaw or Mookie Betts is fun to share in. But it also is the perfect “white noise” for me when I’m writing and editing.

In all the years I’ve written

columns for The Enterprise and stories as a reporter, if it’s between February’s Spring Training and October’s World Series, there’s a high chance the TV is tuned in to MLB Network.

It is just the right amount of non-distracting noise as I peck away on my laptop.

So on Tuesday, when I saw the news about the KBO season openers, I was giddy. By lunchtime that day, I had found a rebroadcast of the NC Dinos versus the Samsung Lions.

Yeah, each team is sponsored by a Korean corporation — in the above game, Samsung, obviously, and the NC Dinos are owned by NCSoft, a South Korean video-game developer. A purist might balk at this, but I don’t pretend American professional sports is corporate-free.

Anyhoo, Tuesday’s game around lunch time was a rebroadcast from the opening day matchup that began live at 10 p.m., PST. The way ESPN is handling the broadcasts is by having baseball announcers in the U.S. watch monitors of live

games from their “home studios” that COVID-19 has caused them to need.

This means East Coast announcers Karl Ravech and Eduardo Perez were calling the games at 1 a.m. EST; but their enthusiasm for once again being involved in live, professional baseball was contagious. Ravech and Perez had gotten up to speed on the differences between MLB and KBO, name pronunciation, which ex-MLB players were in the league, and the penchant for bat flips.

Oh, the glorious bat flips, a thing which old-school baseball fans often bristle at. But as someone who is thrilled that touchdown celebrations are back in the NFL, I’m pretty happy with the display of bat flipping.

For the uninitiated, bat flipping is when a player hits a home run, and instead of “respectfully” dropping it to the ground, he makes a spectacle by launching his bat in a showy way. Maybe he adds a twirl as he lets it go, or chucks it upward. Perez and Ravech informed those of us new

to the KBO that bat flipping is celebratory and not a slam at the opposing pitcher or team.

By the way, there are no fans in the stands. I thought that would be distracting, but hearing the crack of the bat and the players clapping in the dugout, along with the soothing announcers, makes it feel comfortably familiar. I can totally work with that background.

To enjoy some KBO this weekend ... well, if you missed Saturday night’s matchup that began at 10 p.m., your next chance is on ESPN 2 at 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday — the KT Wiz vs. the NC Dinos — or the rebroadcast at 11 a.m. on Tuesday.

I do hope the rebroadcast times will get more in sync with when Americans can watch. But this taste of normalcy has been more uplifting than a week’s worth of Zoom happy hours.

This ‘new normal’ isn’t new for most foster kids Special to The Enterprise

YOLO CASA

f you’re reading this column in the paper, you are undoubtedly reading it on Mother’s Day. You may be reading it before you head out to gather with your parents at the end of the driveway. You may be reading it before you dig into your brunch to go. You may be reading it as you watch a church service online. You definitely are not reading it right before you hop into the shower to attend a big family gathering or go out to breakfast.

So much has changed since mid-March.

It’s jarring.

It’s uncomfortable.

It’s isolating.

It’s hard to plan for the future.

Just two months ago, no one could have predicted a life like this. It’s so far from what we consider “normal” that there are jokes going around the internet about trying to tell our past-selves that this would happen … and our past selves being in complete disbelief.

Now let’s do a mental exercise equally as mindblowing as the aforementioned internet joke.

With the exception of the first paragraph, go back and read the beginning of this column not as the description of a pandemic, but as that of a foster child. Isn’t it amazing how accurate the description seems?

Life literally changes in

an instant when a child enters the dependency system. Some of the big changes are obvious — like living in a new home and location and likely attending a new school. Some are more subtle — like getting used to new religious practices, or types of food, or discipline structures. Both of these types of changes are lonely, traumatic, isolating and unpredictable — the perfect storm for fear and hopelessness.

The biggest change is almost unfathomable — and that’s the loss of the only parental bond the child has ever known. It may seem strange, but even children who are severely neglected or abused have a deep longing for their parents … and losing that, no matter how dysfunctional, is a traumatic experience to go through at any age, let alone as a child.

Let’s pause a moment and make a comparison to our own lives right now.

Many of us are experiencing loss of our own today as we realize we have not seen our own loved ones in weeks or more. We feel fear because we don’t know when we can safely see them again. With stories of nursing home outbreaks and the virus’ effects on the elderly, we might even let our minds go to the unthinkable — will we ever see them again?

Needless to say, this is a

A boy gets a push on the swing from his CASA volunteer. lot to process … and we are processing this by talking to people. In many cases, we might be talking to our own parents about these feelings, a spouse, or a close friend. Whatever the case, that person is likely easy to access and just a phone call away. And that’s where the pandemic has a true advantage over the foster care system: We still have our people — we just access them differently.

When children enter the dependency system, their

closest bonds, many times for their own safety, are harder to access. Furthermore, a teacher or other close relationship may not be present anymore due to having to move locations, schools, etc.

This trauma is inevitable, but we can mitigate it … and that is where our mission at Yolo County CASA becomes incredibly important.

When a child enters the dependency system, our goal is to get that child matched with a CASA

volunteer as soon as possible. A CASA volunteer is a “Court Appointed Special Advocate” who goes through thirty hours of training to learn about the dependency system, how to spot red flags, how to represent the needs of their assigned foster child in court reports and more.

A CASA volunteer often becomes the only constant, one-on-one relationship a foster child has and he or she makes a minimum commitment of 18 months.

This long-term relationship both helps to ensure that no move is as traumatic as the first because the CASA is there to give support and guidance, and also that the effects of the initial trauma are (at least partially) mitigated through the connection with the CASA volunteer.

Research shows that children who experience adversity but have at least one strong healthy adult connection are more likely to complete high school and go on to college. They are more likely to be physically and mentally healthier through adulthood.

Adverse outcomes like homelessness or incarceration are also reduced.

Social bonds are powerful. Drive-through birthdays, teddy bear hunts, and chalk art didn’t happen because someone just thought it would be a fun hobby. They happened because we need social bonds to thrive as human beings.

Our CASA volunteers have worked hard to stay

in touch with their foster children and have created fun, virtual visits to mimic the in-person visits they had grown accustomed to.

And on Thursday, you helped us raise enough money on the Big Day of Giving to take our trainings and services virtual and ensure that we remain financially solvent during this time of crisis. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

We’ve learned that we can and will be able to sustain throughout these times, and Thursday is an example of why. Thank you again for stepping forward and meeting the needs of our most vulnerable children during a time when they are more isolated than ever.

If you are interested in becoming a CASA volunteer, please visit the volunteer section of our website (yolocasa.org) and fill out an interest form. If you know someone who would make a great CASA volunteer, please send them there as well. Our next training will be virtual and is coming soon.

I wish you and yours resilience and hope and we muddle through these times. And thank you again for stepping forward on Thursday and providing us with resources to serve our most vulnerable children. The impact you’ve made on our capacity to serve is incredible.

Youth sports retool after COVID-19 Leagues work out how to pay bills, refund fees

BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor Of the major Davis youth sports programs — AYSO, Legacy soccer, Little League and DYSA — three have officially canceled their seasons as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. One, Davis Little League, is holding out hope for a late, 10-game season.

Regardless of status, each has worked to keep up with responsibilities such as field maintenance, insurance payments and, in some cases, registration refunds. The lack of on-the-field sports hasn’t meant a lack of ongoing administration.

The Enterprise caught up with directors of the city’s four major spring sports organizations and talked about what’s happening in

their ranks and what might be next.

“The season was officially canceled on March 30,” says Davis AYSO Commissioner Sara Hawkes. “We offered all registered families one of three options: full refunds issued by check, credit the amount paid toward the fall season or donate the refund amount to our scholarship fund.”

Hawkes says any family that did not respond to the AYSO email outreach “got a check in the mail.”

As many as 2,000 kids participate in local AYSO. In ending the spring season, the decision also was made to cancel the wildly successful Davis World Cup tournament, held each year on Memorial Day weekend.

With that move, AYSO loses its biggest annual fundraiser and puts a further dent in the coffers of Davis’ business community.

Area hotels, restaurants, merchants and movie theaters all benefited from the dozens of

teams visiting that weekend.

Hawkes says AYSO raised more than $15,000 from the World Cup in 2019.

After sending off more than $22,000 in refund checks, Hawkes says there is still work to be done. AYSO maintains Nugget Fields off of Pole Line Road, but

has removed the portable toilets at the site and has reduced seeding and mowing schedules.

“As a region, we are committed to keeping youth soccer accessible, regardless of family income,” Hawkes told The Enterprise.

“Some of our coaches, board members and teams have been

working to build partnerships for fundraising activities to help fill this gap.”

Davis Youth Softball Association President Carson Wilcox says the writing was on the wall early.

Making strides for safety Former Davis harrier sees a crack in the door to safer streets

BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor Kaitlin Gregg was a superstar harrier during her days at Davis High and UC Davis.

She won at 5,000 meters, she won at cross country meets, she excelled at 10,000 meters. Got a distance? Gregg had a finishing kick for it.

The 2005 DHS graduate came by her athletic prowess honestly. Her mother is Carolee Gregg, a respected aquatics instructor who serves as head age-group coach and director of Davis Summerdarts and Minidarts. Dad Bill is a longtime and nationally recognized Blue Devil distance coach.

Kaitlin Gregg has been on the run since she can remember; she’s the wife of emergency room doctor Avi Goodman while still being married to her beloved sport.

So, you get the picture: Kaitlin Gregg Goodman has been around the block a few times, qualifying for GREGG several Olympic Trials, GOODMAN including this year’s marathon qualifier in Atlanta.

But her recent exploits haven’t been what she had in mind. In Atlanta, she fell in the crowded race and was subsequently trampled by her fellow competitors. Last year, while training in her current hometown of Providence, R.I., she was almost hit by a car. Diving out of the way, she suffered a knee injury.

Since the marathon mishap, the Olympic Games in Tokyo have been postponed to 2021, allowing Goodman to keep her eye on the prize: Another shot at the Olympics could come next in the pushed-back 10,000-meter trial.

But she says the future of organized running is so fuzzy that she isn’t sure how COVID-19 will affect stepping-stone races

COURTESY PHOTO

A Safe on the Road lawn sign reminds drivers to look out for pedestrians. The program was started

by Davis High and UC Davis standout runner Kaitlin Gregg Goodman. leading up to a year from next June.

However, her effort to be running for Olympic glory isn’t why The Enterprise is checking in with Goodman today. It’s more about discussing her “Safe on the Road” campaign — and the foothold many of her open-streets ideas are getting during this pandemic.

Started more than a year ago, Goodman’s program has pointed to how civic entities can make urban roadways safer for runners and cyclists. She knows from her own experiences — at one point, the

former Aggie was running 100 miles a week, dogging cars, jogging in place waiting for traffic signals and avoiding obstacles of all shapes and sizes.

Her program — which is online at safe ontheroad.org — advocates “safer streets for runners, walkers and bikers in communities across the United States. We support physical activity and active transport in our cities and towns, with the goal of helping to make our streets safe places to exercise, commute, explore and connect. “ Goodman’s years of relatively safe routes

around Davis changed when she moved East. The urban setting of Providence proved to be a challenge for recreational harriers, and what she calls “my near-miss episode” cemented her commitment to bring change to a runner’s environment.

“At the beginning of the outbreak, I kind of pressed pause on all of it,” Goodman told The Enterprise via phone. “Everything needed to be focused on containing the virus.

“Then, collectively, for the activetransport phase (running, cycling, walking, skateb0arding), we found this (COVID-19 battle) isn’t going to go away anytime soon.”

That’s when the website hits ramped up.

Cities and individuals expressed interest in what Goodman says are safe on-road practices and how municipalities can make things safer as roads see less vehicular traffic and more people out running, biking and hiking.

“We’re welcoming all these new runners and cyclists. (Traffic) has really ramped up,” she says.

With fewer vehicles comes less regard for rules of the road. New runners get a false sense of security, and drivers see traffic lights and stop signs as suggestions.

Goodman says she finds people driving faster than before.

“It’s a good time for advocates like me to speak and say, ‘We need some increased enforcement; we need to have measures in place to make sure the roads are safe.’ ” Goodman hopes cities will designate certain streets that can be closed or restricted, at least temporarily, to traffic.

More people and fewer cars on the road during the pandemic means the time is right, says the distance runner.

At least one major city seems to agree.

Earlier, Seattle closed a wide swath of streets to through traffic. That city council acknowledged the uptick in foot traffic and bowed to social-distancing guidelines, hoping vehicle-free streets would give pedestrians and cyclists a wide berth without them having to look over their shoulders for cars and trucks.

Now comes word that 20 miles of Seattle streets will permanently close to most

SEE STRIDES, BACK PAGE

Finally, something to be happy ‘fore’ I

just want to focus on the positives.

There’s nothing that we can do about this whole situation, so we might as well try to live our best lives while coping with the impact of coronavirus and its attending hardships.

Fortunately, last week, the golf courses re-opened in Davis ... ... And I had the best round of my life.

When the cup is placed outside of the hole, everything is easier to putt.

The only disappointing thing the new-wave layout is that from a far it’s hard to determine is a ball might have gone under normal circumstances. Given the

COVID-cup realignment, my friends and I are legitimately not sure if one of us made a hole in one or not.

The moment came on the fifth hole at the Davis Golf Course.

My playing partner hit a moon shot, just over the back of a bunker. As it found the green, the ball rolled straight at the hole.

Did it hit? Would it have gone in the cup? None of us are sure.

He claims it didn’t strike that cup. The rest of us aren’t so sure it didn’t.

He definitely holed out on 17, just a few hours later for an eagle (if you don’t count the shot he hit onto the freeway, and didn’t acknowledge).

The point was, this all happened during trying times and for more than three hours, four people were able to enjoy life.

My friends and I were actually able to talk to one another and we did so in a socially distant and safe way.

And this writer, who is terrible

at golf, shot a 94. It’s not a good score, but it’s probably the best I’m ever going to shoot.

I also was aided partially by the fact that I “chipped in” on 10, when my ball bounced off the cup and ricocheted maybe 10 feet away.

But hey, you can’t prove that it wouldn’t have gone in so it all counts, right? Shout out to my friend Dan who definitely agrees with this, is great at golf and also the biggest cheater I know.

I

hit a lot of good shots and a lot of bad shots, but just hitting a lot shots felt good again. The important thing here is that I was outside with my friends, being active, while still

remaining safe.

No matter what you’re doing on a regular basis now, make sure to find the people you care about in your life and be there for them.

Life will return to normal, someday. Go do what you can while remaining safe. In the meantime, until we met again, let’s make sure that we all get through this together.

YOUTH: Little League holding out hope STRIDES: Right fit From Page B6 DYSA canceled 2020 play.

“We debated holding out, but we got a lot of feedback that even if Gov. Newsom loosened things, we wouldn’t get good attendance ... not nearly enough to run games,” Wilcox explains.

“Ongoing, there isn’t much (administration or maintenance) commitment with our season totally canceled.

Once we get the green light, we will finish out the Mace Ranch Park (softball area) fencing.”

As for families signed up?

“We offered partial registration refunds,” Wilcox continues. “It tracked closely to our official refund policy ...

50 percent back if canceling your child once teams have been formed. We bumped it up a little make it a nice round number. We also requested that if anyone wanted to leave their refund in the league as a donation, that would be awesome. And many did.”

That “partial” refund was determined once the impact of already ordering uniforms, conducting background checks, and purchasing equipment and insurance were factored in.

Meanwhile, Davis Little League is holding out hope for a 10-game season in August. Nationally, Little League Baseball already erased its World Series and the qualifying tournaments leading up to it, so a local diamond season (with September playoffs) means that play would be only for Davis bragging rights.

“We’re not making a decision on whether to cancel the season until July 1,” DLL President Rob Stevenson told the newspaper. “If the state can relax guidelines that will let us play baseball ... then we’ll go ahead and restart our season.”

Little League’s “decision” comes after a Wednesday-evening board meeting that prompted an email to parents from DLL, clarifying what’s next.

“We are not offering a refund as of yet. But if we cancel the season on July 1, we’ll offer a 50-percent refund. But we asked, like softball and AYSO, if people would make a donation, as opposed to (taking) the refund.”

Approximately 800 kids play Davis Little League.

“Resuming the season by July 1 will allow teams two weeks of practice before starting a 10-game game season,” the email announced. “(It will) culminate in playoffs ... finishing near the end of August.”

Little League’s District 64 announced in March the cancellation of this season’s playoffs.

Stevenson points out that Little League has already spent a significant amount of money on field repair and maintenance, uniforms, rebuilding the bathrooms at the DLL complex and making charter and insurance payments.

“We’re just hopeful that we can do our spring season in the summer,” Stevenson went on, acknowledging that participation will be difficult for some children who have committed to other formal activities or family vacations. “Kind of have it be normal ... just shifted.”

The Davis Legacy Soccer Club also scotched spring competition.

Executive Director David Robertson says his group is committed to a

variety of payments.

“We’re paying ... our coaches, we’re maintaining a 16-field facility,” says the longtime local coach and administrator, who adds that the fields remain in “fantastic” condition. “We have payments for our lights and other debt management for our expansion and then just usual fees for utilities. We have continuous, high ongoing expenses.”

While Robertson didn’t want to discuss refunds for participants, he pointed to some silver linings in the coronavirus interruption: “I think there’s positives in some ways. We are learning to adapt and work outside of our comfort zone.

We’re learning how to get things to everyone: players, families, coaches. We’ll come back as coaches with more hunger. We miss the game a lot.”

Beyond the Big Four, there are more than a dozen summer youth sports programs, ranging from lacrosse and volleyball to track and field.

Each has a website, some containing information on what their summer futures hold.

But for now, while kids everywhere should have balls flying around playing fields everywhere, it’s the very thought of when these games will be played again that’s up in the air.

From Page B6 vehicle traffic by the end of May, says Mayor Jenny Durkan.

That’s music to Goodman’s ears ...

“That gives people more space for social distancing,” she points out. “You’re not having to step off the sidewalk and step into the street in an effort to pass somebody and maintain your 6 feet.”

Goodman says some street closures would make sense for Davis, too.

Safe on the Road has been “an easier sell to public officials than it might have been pre-coronavirus,” Goodman adds. “It’s time to say, ‘Yes, let’s reimagine our streets a little bit.’

What’s our greatest asset?

“For a lot of cities, it’s miles and miles and miles of asphalt. So, how can we repurpose that and meet these new needs of our residents?”

Safe on the Road accepts donations, and for a $25 endowment, supporters will receive a lawn sign that promotes the notion.

Goodman’s mom and dad proudly display one at their Davis home.

Goodman believes the new normal could include better access to open space.

She wants to “keep going” with any adjustments cities make in that regard.

“That’s definitely the hope: Folks get a taste of it now and then this will become a permanent fixture for many cities ... when things come back to normal,” Goodman believes.

“And it seems like an easy sell in Davis.”

Notes: Kaitlin is a member of the Boston Athletic Association High Performance Team and is contracted by Adidas. ... During the shelter-in-place order, Goodman, 33, has cut her roadwork back to 70 miles a week, but continues to augment those missed steps on the treadmill and home cycle. ... In 2016, Goodman was one of just two women to compete in all three Olympic distance trials (marathon, 10,000 meters and 5,000 meters). ... A relatively new addition to her workout routine, Mouse the chocolate Labrador retriever, has been getting in some serious roadwork with “mom.” ... Doctor Avi’s work in the emergency room keeps him from the mainstream of coronavirus patients, but Kaitlin notes he’s not entirely out of harm’s way: “He still has to treat motorcycle-accident victims and other emergencies.”

Human foods pets should avoid Special to The Enterprise The revenue of the pet care industry is testament to the lengths people will go to ensure their pets are comfortable and receiving a high level of care. Wellmeaning pet owners may pamper their pets, and many believe giving treats of human food is the ultimate indulgence for their animals. However, these individuals may be unwittingly exposing their beloved pets to health problems by feeding them the wrong foods.

The Humane Society of the United States warns that even foods that are considered good for people can be very dangerous for pets. This may even include common fruits and vegetables. In 2010, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center received more than 167,000 calls related to pet exposure to toxic substances. The top three reasons for pet poisoning included consumption of prescription and over-the-counter drugs (45,616 calls); ingestion of insecticides (29,020 calls); and eating human food (17,453 calls). Many people are unaware that certain foods present a hazard to their pets’ health.

Although any food not specifically designed for cats and dogs can affect the digestive system, resulting in vomiting, diarrhea or intestinal distress, the following foods are particularly problematic for companion animals.

■ Alcohol: Alcoholic beverages can cause liver and brain damage because it has the same effects on pets as it does on people — it just takes far less alcohol to negatively affect pets than it does humans. Just a little alcohol can cause vomiting, diarrhea, central nervous system depression, problems with coordination, difficulty breathing, coma, and even death.

raw or roasted macadamias can make dogs seriously ill. Symptoms of poisoning include muscle tremors, weakness or paralysis of the hindquarters, vomiting, elevated body temperature and rapid heart rate.

■ Sweetened candy: Candies, gums, toothpaste, and any product containing “xylitol” can cause

more insulin to circulate through a pet’s body, making blood sugar drop. That can result in liver failure and loss of coordination.

Foods that people consume should not be shared with pets unless they have been recommended by a veterinarian. Even then, human food should be shared sparingly.
