County continues reopening push

Woodland Memorial Hospital nurses — from left, Sherri Olswang, Kim Silvey, Angie Headrick, Sandy Connolly, Tandy Burton, Nova Fox, Gena Bravo, Celeste Santoni and Susan Gonzalez — are helping to train nursing-home staff to learn best practices for working during the coronavirus outbreak.

and live demonstrations and assessments. They were designed to be accessible to participants regardless of their English proficiency, as many of the staff at the skilled nursing facilities do not speak English as their first language.

The trainings focused on practices staff could adopt to avoid infection in the community as well as limit the risk of transmitting the virus at work.

The team of nurses covered everything from hand washing and physical distancing to donning and doffing personal protective equipment.

Yolo County officials are making the case to the state that two COVID19 deaths reported Tuesday should not be considered evidence of recent community transmission and thus inhibit the county’s ability to move forward with reopening more activities locally.

County Administrator Patrick Blacklock, speaking during a joint meeting of the city and county on Wednesday, cited unique circumstances related to both of those fatalities.

One of the individuals was infected with the novel coronavirus in April and had been hospitalized since then before passing away recently, said Blacklock, and the other was an individual who actually died in April but whose death was initially assigned to Sacramento County and only transferred to Yolo County in the last day or two.

The county was already making the case to the state Department of Public Health that five previous deaths that all occurred in the last two weeks at the Stollwood Convalescent Hospital in Woodland also should not limit Yolo County’s ability to proceed further into stage two reopening as they were not evidence of community

Hospital team wraps up training Crew from Woodland Memorial helps teach nursing-home workers

BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer Beginning April 27, a team of eight nurses and a scientist from Dignity Health Woodland Memorial Hospital spent two weeks training staff at Yolo County’s 12 skilled nursing facilities on infection control practices.

The trainings and assessments, carried out in collaboration with the Yolo County Health and Human Services

agency, were completed last week.

Locally and across the United States, senior living facilities have proven to be especially vulnerable to the novel coronavirus. As of last week, nursing home residents accounted for roughly 40 percent of California’s COVID19-related deaths.

Of 22 Yolo County residents who have died from the virus, 15 were infected by an outbreak in early April at the

Stollwood Convalescent Hospital in Woodland. A single case — but no deaths — has been identified at two other nursing homes in the county, The Californian in Woodland and Atria Covell Gardens in Davis.

Across the 12 facilities, the team of nurses from Dignity Health trained roughly 600 staff members, including nurses, health aids, kitchen staff, housekeepers and administrators. “We trained everyone,” said Gena Bravo, the chief nurse executive officer at Woodland Memorial Hospital.

The three-hour trainings included visual presentations

Planning Commission backs Paul’s Place

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer The extent of community support for Paul’s Place was evident in the first minutes of the Davis Planning Commission meeting Wednesday night when three commission members had to recuse themselves from considering the proposed homeless facility due to the financial support they’d previously put toward the effort.

Commission chair Cheryl Essex and commissioners Darryl Rutherford and Stephen Mikesell recused themselves, leaving to Stephen Streeter, David Robertson, Greg Rowe and Herman Boschken the decision on whether or not

to recommend approval of Paul’s Place to the City Council.

About an hour later, those four commissioners unanimously did so.

Paul’s Place is a community-funded effort to transform an existing 2,800 square-foot, single-story house on H Street into a new 16,928 square-foot, four-story facility that would provide services to the homeless, including emergency shelter, transitional housing and permanent supportive housing.

For decades, the building at 1111 H St. — operated by Davis Community Meals and Housing — has served as a resource

About us 2020 Member

Staying succinct and to the point T he other day, in a fit of pandemic panic, I suggested that one way we could all while away the long hours of lockdown was to engage in some sort of writing competition.

You do the writing and I’ll do the judging. And, trust me, judging is a heck of a lot easier than writing.

I even offered a swell prize — lunch from Burgers and Brew — to encourage folks to hit their keyboards running.

The contest is simple. Just come up with an 11-word essay about any topic. Not 12 words, not 10 words, but 11 words on the nose.

No topic would be off limits.

The contest will continue until the end of the month or until the cows come home, whichever arrives first.

But that deadline hasn’t stopped early entries pouring in from the creative minds of Davis. I haven’t yet reached the point of being overwhelmed, but I most certainly have at least been whelmed.

And isn’t it interesting that “whelmed” sounds more dramatic than “overwhelmed”? Should be the other way around.

It’s also interesting that the sentence “And isn’t it interesting that

‘whelmed’ sounds more dramatic than ‘overwhelmed’”? has exactly 11 words. Purely accidental, I assure you.

So far, most entries share two characteristics: they are indeed 11 words long and they almost invariably refer in some way to the coronavirus and how it is affecting us.

True enough, I have had entries with as many as 17 words — probably from Woodland — and as few as 10, but for the most part people have followed the rules as set forth by the Yolo County Health Department, the CDC and Gov. Newsom.

My friend Allegra, who has both a driver’s license and a poetic license, writes, “Isolation: a time to explore the innermost part of our being.”

Unfortunately, the innermost part of my being has put on 10

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Davis police are on the search for an arsonist who set fire to a Fifth Street memorial honoring slain Officer Natalie Corona, the incident occurring during National Police Week and two days before National Peace Officers Memorial Day. A passerby reported the blaze at about 6:30 p.m.

Wednesday at the Fifth and C streets memorial, marking the spot where the 22-year-old Corona was

fatally shot at random while investigating a vehicle collision on Jan. 10, 2019.

Lt. Art Camacho said the unidentified suspect “used a flammable liquid to set alight portions of the memorial, for unknown reasons.”

The fire damaged flowers and a photo before an onduty firefighter at the nearby downtown fire station spotted it and stomped it out, Camacho said.

An investigation is underway into the incident,

I can think of several words that end in “tion” that describe our current situation, but “contemplation” is not one of them.

“All of us of course find this to be a very despicable act,” Camacho said. “However, the service that Natalie has rendered to the Davis community will never be tarnished by such a thing, and the bonds between the community and the Police Department are unscathed and stronger than ever.”

Woodland police officers have full day Enterprise staff writer It was a busy day Tuesday for Woodland police, whose morning began with an alleged assault on officers and ended with the investigation of a neighborhood shooting, according to reports.

Sgt. Dallas Hyde said officers were dispatched shortly after 9:30 a.m. to the intersection of Court and Second streets, where Yolo County probation officers were attempting to apprehend a man who reportedly threw a rock through a window and tried to kick in a door at the old county courthouse.

Hyde identified the man as 24-year-old Leonardo Peña of West Sacramento, who “had a large piece of concrete in his hand,” he said. “While attempting to take Peña into custody two Woodland PD officers

receiving non-life threatening injuries.”

Peña was booked into the Yolo County Jail on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and resisting arrest, as well as a parole hold, Hyde said.

In a separate incident that night, reports of a loud fight and gunfire brought officers to the 600 block of Harvard Court just before 11:30 p.m.

“As officers responded to the call, additional callers advised of multiple shots being fired and a white Jeep Cherokee fleeing the area,” Hyde said.

Officers arrested the driver, Woodland resident Jared Ray Lampkin, 35, after allegedly finding him with a firearm and methamphetamine, Hyde said. He was lodged at the jail on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, along with drug charges.

ooking for a silver lining to brighten your day? Animal shelters are running out of animals to adopt! Yes, there’s been a run on pet adoptions.

Of course, there are still dogs and cats waiting for their forever homes on the Davis Enterprise’s Pets of the Week column each week, but Yolo County Animal Services is pleased that there aren’t as many coming into the shelter and a lot more heading to their forever homes from their foster families.

Volunteer Coordinator for the Yolo County Animal Shelter Jonne Rodart explains, “YCAS continues to have limited animals in the shelter because both the dog and cat Foster teams have found such wonderful placements for our animals. We have placed every adoptable animal in a foster home.

The majority of our foster placements have become ‘foster failures’ or adopted from their foster homes.

Our Rescue Partners have been actively involved in helping YCAS place shelter animals in fur-ever homes or in fosters as well.

“The Cat Annex is currently empty. The Dog Adoption floor has only a few dogs. We do have dogs in stray but once available they are quickly going to foster. The dogs are spending their days enjoying doggie playgroups, socializing and swimming in their pools.

“The office remains closed to the public for non-emergencies but our staff is still assisting the community fielding calls on 530-666-8282. Our officers continue to work in the field serving the community responding to animal emergencies 24/7.

“The community has supported YCAS by making masks for the shelter staff, supporting the foster program by making donations to Friends of YCAS who have supplied shelter animals with anything they have needed during this time and have been filling the needs of the foster families by purchasing

With the weather warming up, flowers are blooming, and insects are waking up as well. One of the most commonly seen insects, and one of the most important, is the bee. Honeybees are the most well known, and are an important part to our local ecosystem.

Honeybee hives consist of three different classes: workers, drones and queens. Workers are the ones who do all the work in the hive. They are the ones who collect nectar from flowers, care for all the developing bees within the hive, and do all of the work to make honey.

Workers make up the majority of the hive because they do the most work to keep the hive alive and running.

Where worker bees are all non-egg-laying females, all drones are males. The only purpose of a drone is to mate with a queen of another hive, and will die shortly thereafter.

The queen is the only egg-laying female in a hive. They are highly cared for and protected, but do not help with collecting nectar or the production of honey, their only job is to lay eggs and keep the hive growing.

Queen bees actually have an interesting development process. They begin life as any other female bee, but are selected by the worker bees to be fed a special,

After counseling and a good meet and greet with Raider, Topaz jumped into Scott’s truck ready to head for home. That afternoon Scott wrote, “So far so good. She rode in the cab of the truck very nice. She’s a very smart dog and well mannered; she gets along with Raider very well so far.”

A few weeks later Scott wrote, “Hello … everything’s going great with Topaz, the Catahoula leopard hound, she’s kind of the boss and kind of not.

She loves to give kisses; she gives (Raider) greater kisses but she also puts him in his place.”

Catahoula dogs are active and so it’s not surprising that Scott wrote recently, “Everything is going great they’re two machines…They’re fairly independent but they are friends and love to run out the door together to look for cats and see who can get there first.”

Well, there’s never a dull moment when you have two lively canine companions! No doubt, Raider and Topaz always greet Scott with happy enthusiasm regardless of how long he’s been away or how late he is coming home. Now those are two happy tails indeed!

Tiny hairs covering the bee’s body collect pollen from the flowers, allowing for pollination when the bee moves on to another flower. protein-rich food called “royal jelly” instead of the pollen-nectar mixture called “bee bread” which is given to the developing workers.

Workers will also make special, elongated cells for the queen to grow and develop. When a queen emerges she will seek out any other new or developing queens and fight until only one remains. They will go so far as even open up cells of other potential queens and kill them before they emerge. After a single queen remains, she will leave the hive to mate with up to 15 male drones.

When honey bees collect nectar for their honeymaking, they pick up pollen from the stames of flowers. The pollen sticks to their legs and will be rubbed off onto the stigma of another flower, resuling in pollination.

NOTICE OF PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY’S REQUEST TO CHANGE RATES FOR ITS RECOVERY BOND APPLICATION (A.20-04-023) Acronyms you need to know PG&E: Pacific Gas and Electric Company CPUC: California Public Utilities Commission SUMMARY On April 30, 2020, PG&E filed an application proposing to finance $7.5 billion in recovery bonds after emerging from bankruptcy. While this proposal would result in a new charge on customer bills, PG&E is also proposing a credit to customers that will be funded by shareholders. The credit is expected to equal the charge, meaning there would be no impact to customer bills.

PG&E will file a second application later in 2020 asking the CPUC to approve issuing the recovery bonds.

BACKGROUND The legislature approved Senate Bill 901, authorizing issuance of bonds to fund the costs of certain catastrophic wildfires.

The proposals would expedite PG&E’s path back to an investment-grade credit rating. This is important for customers because it will allow PG&E to continue making critical safety and reliability improvements in its electric system at the lowest cost to customers.

HOW WILL THE PROPOSAL AFFECT MY ELECTRIC RATE? On their monthly Energy Statement starting in 2021, customers will see a charge for the recovery bonds as well as a credit from PG&E in the same amount. The charge and credit would occur simultaneously, meaning customers are expected to experience no change in their monthly bill amount as a result of the bonds. More detailed rate information is being sent directly to customers in a bill insert.

Based on rates currently in effect, the bill for a typical residential customer using 500 kWh per month would increase from $124.08 to $126.53, or 2.0%. However, as noted above, customers are also expected to see an offsetting credit in the same amount.

Direct Access and Community Choice Aggregation customers only receive electric transmission and distribution services from PG&E. On average, these customers would see an increase of 3.9%. However, as noted above, customers are also expected to see an offsetting credit in the same amount.

Another category of nonbundled customers is Departing Load. These customers do not receive electric generation, transmission or distribution services from PG&E. However, these customers are required to pay certain charges by law or CPUC decision. These customers will not be impacted by the proposals in this application.

CPUC PROCESS This application will be assigned to a judge, who will consider proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process. The judge will issue a proposed decision which may adopt PG&E’s application, modify it or deny it. Any CPUC Commissioner may sponsor an alternate decision. The proposed decision, and any alternate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon by the CPUC Commissioners.

The Public Advocates Office (Cal Advocates) is currently reviewing this application. Cal Advocates is the independent consumer advocate within the CPUC with a statutory mandate to represent customers of investor-owned utilities to obtain the lowest possible rate for service consistent with safe and reliable service and the state’s environmental policy goals. Cal Advocates has a multidisciplinary staff with expertise in economics, finance, accounting and engineering. For more information about Cal Advocates, please call 415-703-1584, email PublicAdvocatesOffice@cpuc.ca.gov, or visit Cal Advocates’ website at PublicAdvocates.cpuc.ca.gov.

WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION? CONTACT PG&E If you have questions about PG&E’s filing, please contact PG&E at 1-800-743-5000. For TTY, call 1-800652-4712.

life cycle and keeps them growing and thriving.

Many of our fruits and vegetables start out as flowering plants, so this pollination process also ensures our food grows.

Without bees and other pollinators, many of our fruits and vegetables may stop growing, which is why farms and orchards have bee hives dotted around their properties.

Honey bees use the nectar collected from flowers and take it back to their hives where it is mixed with a “bee enzyme” which turns it to honey.

Explorit is continuing work on our backyard pollinator garden. We are spreading mulch which will help with retaining moisture, put nutrients back in the soil, and help with weed control. After all the mulch is spread, we will be planting more native plants to help keep our local pollinators happy and healthy in the surrounding parks.

We still have a lot of work to do on our pollinator garden. If you would like to volunteer to help spread mulch or to help with planting when the time comes, please fill out our online application at http://www.explorit.org/ support/volunteer and write “Garden Volunteer” under “Other” when selecting area of interest.

You will be contacted by our volunteer coordinator about availability.

which will remain at its current location.

A three-level, 246,000-sq. ft. parking structure with 533 parking spaces would be situated on the western portion of the site with an additional 160 surface parking spaces provided. The main structure would consist of five to seven levels approximately 80 feet in height.

Two smaller pad buildings are also proposed.

The 136,800 sq. ft. of retail space would accommodate shops, restaurants, offices, and other associated uses on the ground floor and second floor areas. There would be eight retail areas constructed generally within the footprint of the existing University Mall and underneath the proposed residential units and two new, free-standing, two-story retail buildings.

The 264 residential units would have 622 bedrooms and up to 894 beds in a mix of unit types. The residential portion of the project would consist of four residential levels over the three-level parking garage and three residential levels over two retail levels. The residential units would be arranged around three separate courtyards. The project also includes tree removal and improvements for circulation, vehicle and bicycle parking, landscaping, and other site improvements.

Planning entitlements include: an Amendment to the General Plan to create a new Mixed Use land use category and to change the designation of the site from Community Retail to Mixed Use; a Rezone of the site to a Planned Development (PD) for the uses and development standards; and Demolition for removal of the existing structure. The project also includes a Development Agreement and an Environmental Impact Report. Additional required planning entitlements would be subject to separate review.

Environmental Determination: An Environmental Impact Report (SCH#2018112044) evaluating the environmental impacts has been prepared for the project pursuant to CEQA requirements and will be reviewed for a recommendation to City Council. The EIR identified significant and unavoidable impacts related to transportation, which requires adoption of a statement of overriding considerations. Potentially significant impacts related to air quality, biological, cultural, GHG emissions, hazardous materials, hydrology, noise, and transportation were identified, but impacts were reduced to a lessthan-significant level through the implementation of mitigation measures.

All other impacts were determined to be less than significant. The Final EIR is available online with other project documents at the project website below.

Availability of Documents: Additional information pertaining to the project is available for review at the Department of Community Development and Sustainability, Planning Division, 23 Russell Boulevard, Davis, California, 95616. Project documents are also available online at: https://www. cityofdavis.org/city-hall/communitydevelopment-and-sustainability/ development-projects/universitycommons.

The winning bidder is legally obligated to purchase the item. Any parcel remaining may be reoffered on the Internet at www. bid4assets.com, beginning on Friday, July 17, 2020, at 8:00 a.m. (PST) and ending on Monday, July 20, 2020 by 5:00 PM (PDT). Any new parties of interest shall be notified in accordance with Revenue and Taxation Code section 3701.

The deadline to register and submit the deposit is Monday, June 22, 2020. This is an online auction and the bidding will take place via the internet. If you do not have internet access, computer workstations are available at most public libraries. At the conclusion of the auction, unsuccessful bidders’ deposits and processing fees will be returned to them by Bid4Assets.

Full payment of all purchases is required within 3 business days of the auction (by July 2, 2020, 1:00 p.m. PDT). A payment processing fee of $35.00 will be added to the final price of every parcel successfully purchased by a winning bidder and will be collected by the internet vendor by the settlement deadline.

All property is sold as is. The County and its employees are not liable for the failure of any electronic equipment that may prevent a person from participating in the sale. All sales are final, with the exception that the Tax Collector reserves the right to rescind the sale in the event that an error is discovered that may have affected the due process rights of the former owner. By participation in the Internet Auction, the bidder agrees to cooperate in the rescission of the sale if such an event occurs within one year of the sale of the property.

The right of tax redemption will cease on Thursday, June 25, 2020, at 5:00 PM (PDT) and properties not redeemed will be offered for sale. If the parcel is not sold, the right of redemption will revive and continue up to the close of business on the last business day prior to the next scheduled auction.

If the properties are sold, parties of interest, as defined in California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 4675, have a right to file a claim with the County for any excess proceeds from the sale.

FRIDAY, MAY 15, 2020

REOPENING: ‘It’s not going to be easy’ TRAINING: Virus hits From Page A1 transmission, either.

Currently the county has satisfied all of the benchmarks required by the state to allow additional actives like dine-in restaurants and shopping malls except for one: The metric requiring that a county have no COVID-19 deaths in the last 14 days.

Blacklock said discussions between the county and state on Tuesday regarding exempting the Stollwood deaths from the requirement were positive and the county’s intent as of noon Tuesday was to proceed with what has been called the “attestation process.”

Under that process, the county health officer attests that the county has met all of the benchmarks required to proceed further into stage two of reopening. Additionally, the county’s hospitals send a letter verifying they have adequate capacity to meet any future surge and the Board of Supervisors sends a letter in support as well.

Discussions with the state this week will determine whether the county moves forward despite those two deaths reported Tuesday.

“It’s possible we’ll still be able to

proceed this week, or we may not,” said Blacklock on Wednesday.

He added that several other counties “that have similar anomalies as us with their deaths” received variances this week from the state, allowing them to move forward with reopening.

As of Thursday, 19 counties had qualified to move further into stage two: Amador, Butte, Calaveras, Colusa, El Dorado, Glenn, Humboldt, Lassen, Mariposa, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, San Benito, Shasta, Sierra, Tehama, Tuolumne, Yuba and Sutter.

As for Yolo County's attestations, Blacklock said, “in the best case scenario they could accept them this week.”

Wednesday’s city-county meeting included two members of the Davis City Council (Dan Carson and Will Arnold) as well as two members of the Board of Supervisors (Don Saylor and Jim Provenza), all of whom weighed in on Blacklock’s presentation.

Regarding the two recent deaths, and whether they indicate ongoing community transmission or not, Arnold said, “it’s unfortunate that we are almost being, by a technicality… penalized … for the one fatality that occurred a month

ago outside the county ...

“And the other one is again, very unfortunate, but someone who had been in the hospital a very long time so it’s not exactly evidence of continued community transmission,” he said.

“But if that means we get put off for a little bit, because of that technicality, I think we’re still going to be OK.” Saylor noted that even when the attestation goes through, that won’t mean all stage two activities will immediately resume.

The county will have to continue creating protocols with businesses to ensure risks are minimized.

Additionally, said Saylor, businesses themselves may face some hurdles.

“A business that hears on Tuesday they can open on Wednesday is going to have some challenges. They may have to order inventory, they may have to hire people and there may be customer reluctance to participate.

People will continue to want to be safe.

“It’s not going to be easy,” Saylor added. “It’s going to take some time.”

PLANNING: Commissioners praise project From Page A1 center and shelter for the homeless, providing a place during the day to eat, shower, launder clothing and blankets and access services.

But with 75 to 100 people passing through every day, it gets crowded, and it’s not uncommon for a line of 20 or more people to be waiting for the one shower available. Lines are common for the two washers and dryers as well.

The 12 transitional housing beds — eight for men, four for women — are usually taken as well.

Meanwhile, the city’s homeless population continues to grow, jumping from 146 homeless individuals counted in Davis on one night in 2017 to 190 counted in 2019.

So when Sutter Health announced its “Getting to Zero” grant-matching campaign to encourage communities to come up with innovative approaches to addressing homelessness, many people in Davis took notice. They also came to the table.

Everyone from homeless advocates to Davis city staff and law enforcement, the faith community to local business leaders, began collaborating on devising a project that would gain the necessary private support to secure a Sutter matching grant.

They succeeded with Paul’s Place, a first-ofits-kind “vertical tinyhome village” that will also provide day services, health and human services resources, transitional housing and permanent supportive housing to people currently living homeless in Davis.

Funding for the $5 million project included a $750,000 grant from Partnership HealthPlan of California and donations of all sizes from many local businesses and residents, all of it matched by a grant of up to $2.5 million from Sutter Health.

The facility, if approved by the City Council, will provide the following: ■ On the first floor: four emergency shelter beds, staff offices, dining/kitchen area, laundry facilities, bathrooms and a resource center.

■ On the second floor: 10 transitional single-occupancy bedrooms with a shared kitchen, laundry room, living room, bathrooms and offices.

■ On the third and fourth floors: 18 singleoccupancy permanent supportive micro-units.

The project would

Davis architect Maria Ogrydziak designed the first-of-its kind, vertical tiny-home village that would replace the aging and dilapidated Davis Community Meals and Housing building at 1111 H St. COURTESY RENDERING

also include four vehicle parking spaces, 28 bicycle parking spaces, storage and outdoor activity areas.

The proposal has had widespread community support, as evidenced by the successful fundraising campaign. City planner Eric Lee told planning commissioners on Wednesday that numerous comments were received from the public in recent weeks and “an overwhelming amount were in support.”

However, six people spoke in opposition on Wednesday night. Some expressed concern about insufficient parking; others about a negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood and several questioned whether the project was simply too large.

But commissioners — the four present who had not donated to the effort in the past — had few questions about the project and voiced no concerns.

Streeter noted that Davis Community Meals and Housing has an “impressive” 25-year history serving the homeless here and the case management they provide “is key to addressing the concerns of the neighbors that have been raised.”

Said Robertson: “This to me, it’s exciting. The homeless are such an underserved part of the population and this particular project represents to me an opportunity to be a model for what can be done in the other communities.

So I wish it the greatest success if it passes and hope

that other communities take the opportunity, once it’s open and operational, to see what can be done with the kind of vision that this whole group has put together.”

If Paul’s Place is approved by the City Council, existing services at 1111 H St. would be moved to a duplex next door that was purchased earlier this year by the city and county. Services would remain there during demolition and construction and the duplex would continue to be used for homeless services following completion of the project.

nursing homes hard From Page A1

Nursing-facility staff watched presentations on which protective equipment would be appropriate for a variety of different situations. Then they were assessed by the Dignity Health nurses while they practiced donning and doffing the equipment.

Community efforts to slow the spread of the virus likely played a role in making the trainings possible. “Woodland Memorial had not seen an influx of COVID-19 positive patients and therefore was able to dedicate resources to help,” said Dignity Health regional communications manager Yessenia Anderson.

According to Bravo, no COVID-19 patients have been admitted to Woodland Memorial “for well over a week.”

The hospital has also seen fewer patients come in to the emergency department and has cancelled elective surgeries, changes that contributed to freeing up medical personnel who have helped skilled nursing facilities guard against the virus.

Assessments After each training, the team of nurses conducted a full assessment of the facility, evaluating their compliance with infection control measures. They checked whether social distancing was being followed if residents were allowed out of their rooms and made sure that group activities were canceled.

The nurses also assessed how much PPE each facility had, finding mixed results. “Some facilities had thousands in stock while others had barely anything,” Bravo said. After gathering information, the team delivered their assessments to the Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency, which in turn is providing PPE for facilities that need it.

The team of nurses also tested staff and residents at the three facilities where a COVID-19 case had been identified, testing 250 people in total.

According to the nurses, the trainings provided an opportunity for the nursing facilities to

strengthen ties with each other as well as with the hospital. “This was a good opportunity to meet faceto-face and build relationships,” Bravo said. “If they ever need anything from us they will be able to reach out for assistance.”

The bridges built between nursing homes have already translated into some practical changes. “On our assessments, we wrote down best practices that facilities had implemented and put together a tip sheet to send to all the facilities,” Bravo said.

One of those practices was keeping a log in each resident’s room to be signed by anyone who entered the room. “If anyone came back positive for COVID-19, we could easily trace all their contacts,” Bravo said.

Another facility had doubled the amount of paid time off for all of its staff with the intention of lessening the financial pressure some employees might feel to report for work even if they did not feel well.

“We found a lot of employees still go to work when they become sick because they are afraid they won’t be able to feed their families,” Bravo said.

Last moments Since March, nursing homes have suspended in-person visits to limit the risk of an outbreak.

For patients at Stollwood who lost their battle with COVID-19, this meant they were unable to see friends and family in their final days.

Because of those circumstances, the team of nurses, working with Dignity Health’s No One Dies Alone program, sat with each patient — wearing full protective gear — to provide physical and emotional support and help patients connect with their family virtually.

“I got to be the hands of the family who could not be there,” said Tandy Burton, Director of Behavioral Health and Family Birth Center at Woodland Memorial.

David Russell Smart June. 16, 1955 — April. 29, 2020

Dr. David Smart, professor emeritus, passed away on April 29 after a long sickness.

Originally from Calaveras County, he did his undergraduate and graduate studies at UC Davis.

After his postgraduate work in Utah and Spain, he returned in 2000 to be a professor in root biology at the department of viticulture and enology at UCD. His research ranged from grapevine ecophysiology and carbon sequestration in agricultural soils to the use of remote sensing and

GIS for water management in orchards, disciplines he also taught at undergraduate and graduate level.

He enjoyed outdoor activities that he shared with his friends: running and biking in Davis, skiing in the Sierras, Utah, the Alps and the Pyrenees; hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in California and the Salkantay in Peru; climbing the Andes in Ecuador and Peru; rafting the Colorado River and traveling to many different countries.

A celebration of Dave’s life will be held at a later date.

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.

Setting the stage for the big dance, Page B3

The day the (sports) world stood still T

his week marked two months since the day the Earth stood still ... at least in my sports world.

It was Thursday, March 12, and my wife and I were in Anaheim. I was to have covered the Big West men’s and women’s basketball tournaments. The four-time regular-season champion UC Davis women were locked and loaded for a return trip to The Big Dance while men’s coach Jim Les was his usual confident self.

Despite a 14-18 overall record, his Aggies finished mid-pack in conference and were playing better basketball.

But there were storm clouds on the horizon — literally and figuratively.

Earlier that week, the first- and second-round games of the women’s tourney had already been played. The front-running UCD women earned a double bye and would only have to win Friday and Saturday to advance. The men were to have first taken the court on that fateful Thursday.

But the coronavirus, something that U.S. leaders had kind of pooh-poohed throughout

January and February, was now a serious topic of discussion.

The previous week, it was decided that this basketball event — the signature party of the Big West sports year — would be played without fans. The 18,336seat Honda Center would contain only teams and those who were being called “essential attendees.”

While my wife and I had breakfast at the hotel, we watched as ESPN announced that the Ivy League had canceled its postseason hoops tournaments. There were rumblings that other conferences might follow. Then, my phone rang ...

It was 9:30 a.m. On the other end was UC Davis sports information director Eric Bankston: “I’m sorry to have to report this, but the Big West has canceled the rest of the tournament. The decision was made in the interest of players, staff and media well-being ... and each of the conference’s regularseason champions will advance to the NCAA.” Bankston’s message was clearly a shock. I remember my question back to him: “The men are out?

The Aggie women will play again

next week?”

Bankston confirmed both. It was a bittersweet moment for Aggie Nation, but a feel-good story was coming with the UCD women participating in March Madness.

I just wasn’t prepared for what March Madness meant in 2020.

A

s busy as the day would have been just executing my assignment of covering playoff basketball, activity now ramped up. The Enterprise would need to break the story with as much information as possible.

I texted Les, whose team was preparing to head to the Honda Center for a shoot-around.

I texted women’s coach Jennifer Gross: “Congratulations ... and I’m sorry,” is how I remember starting that message. Her Aggies hadn’t

left Davis yet for Anaheim.

Reaction from players was also on my agenda. An unusual story was at hand, maybe bigger than just a game report. After wolfing down a couple more bites of egg, we took our coffees to go and I was back in our hotel room only two minutes before my phone rang.

“Oh, good, Jim got right back to me,” I thought.

But again it was Bankston, disguised as the Grim Reaper ...

“I was just informed that Duke and Kansas have suspended their seasons. The NCAA has an announcement in 10 minutes. The Big West has another release coming out sometime before noon.”

In less than an hour after that second chat with Bankston, The Davis Enterprise website would declare: “In an 11th-hour act of precaution, citing concerns over the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the Big West Conference announced just before noon Thursday that all of its spring sports had been suspended until further notice.”

The NCAA’s cancellation of March Madness was explained, and a paragraph below that,

UC Davis weighed in by suspending all remaining winter and spring competition, “effective immediately.”

“This affects teams of all conference affiliations, and includes outof-season activity such as spring practice seasons for fall sports,” the university said in a prepared statement.

E

arly that Thursday morning, I had awakened, hoping to be the bearer of good news that night, something like “Aggie men stop Hawaii, 104-70.”

Now, I was writing an obituary.

As we drove home that night, rain followed us for 400 miles.

Totally appropriate. After all, the sky was falling.

Looking back, all of it was bad news that day the Earth stood still.

Looking forward, the planet still isn’t spinning. Not even a little bit.

That ringing you hear in the background? My phone screen says “Eric Bankston.” I don’t think I’ll answer.

If it’s not broke, tinker with it Finding others’ brilliance was Sochor’s genius ■ Editor’s note: This is the second of a two-part series focusing on the relationship between UC Davis football icon Jim Sochor and San Francisco 49ers offensive guru Bill Walsh and how Sochor was open to change while maintaining excellence.

BY BRUCE GALLAUDET ENTERPRISE FILE PHOTOS

Enterprise sports editor When UC Davis football coach Jim Sochor began to turn heads with a hybrid offense and whipsmart players in the early 1970s, nobody could have guessed at the kind of success the gridiron future held for his Aggies.

There would be 156 wins through his reign before he “retired” in 1988. UCD would capture 18 straight conference championships. Old Toomey Field would be the envy of most Northern California stadiums. Under Sochor’s tutelage, Davis football became legend.

Success built upon success. And that old adage — “If something works, don’t fix it” — seemed safely in place at UC Davis.

But a closer look reveals that Jim Sochor was a tinkerer. Those with whom he chose to discuss the finer points of football included some of the game’s ranking icons ... John Madden, Tom Landry, John Robinson and Bill Walsh.

Quarterbacks on Sochor’s watch included Bob Biggs, Jim Speck, Mike Moroski and Ken O’Brien (among others), each a strongarmed thrower who could get you 80 yards in one play. He mentored Chris Petersen and Scott Barry,

UC Davis Hall of Fame coach Jim Sochor built a winning legacy on the football field. Due to the academic prowess of the student-athletes on his teams, he was able to implement professional-level schemes. Knowledge was a two-way street as Sochor and San Francisco 49ers standout coach Bill Walsh shared ideas. signal-callers who often navigated mind-over-matter situations.

All the time, Sochor and his coaching staff had schemes that fit.

All the time, the scoreboard read the same: Aggies, a lot; opponents, a little.

Biggs, who spent the better part of five decades as an Aggie player, assistant and head coach, remembers when Sochor and staffers like Paul Hackett would venture to Thousand Oaks and absorb the philosophies of Landry and the Dallas Cowboys’ flex offense.

He recalls when Hackett later turned up coaching under Robinson in the University of Southern California’s stunning college run in the mid-1970s, and what that meant to UC Davis football.

“They were so gracious, both Paul and John, with their time,” Biggs told The Enterprise. Sochor was hooked on the famous Trojan sweeps and how Robinson loved to do the unexpected on offense.

At one point, Biggs recalls, the Aggies were using Cowboy plays and terminology, then weaving in

some of the schemes of Troy. Visitors to Toomey Field one day might get a 250-yard rushing performance from the Aggies, then the following Saturday see Moroski pass for 325 yards and four touchdowns.

But some of the most significant influence on the program — and some of Jim’s most treasured football moments, according to his wife Donna — came from collaborations between Sochor and Walsh in the late 1970s.

“They really enjoyed each other’s company,” Donna remembers.

“Philosophy, life, history ... dealing with people and players as equals.

It was a really special relationship.

Jim and Bill were a lot alike in a lot of ways.”

The transition from the coach’s first decade at Davis with Trojan and Cowboy nuances to how the Aggies often reflected elements of the 49ers’ so-called West Coast offense paid major dividends as UCD earned regular-seasonending No. 1 rankings in 1982 and 1985. On both sides of the San

Francisco Bay, Walsh’s and Sochor’s teams were laying the wood to their foes. While Sochor continued to capture league titles, Walsh was winning three Super Bowls.

“I know Bill Walsh was around a lot,” Aggie head coach Dan Hawkins says of those early 1980s days. “Until then, (the offense) was USC, Raiders, Cowboys stuff. Then when Coach got with Walsh, we got more into the split backs, offset. We changed up our protection roles, too — which threw me for a loop for a while.”

Walsh and Sochor were technical in their approaches to offense. The fact that UCD had a reputation for smart student-athletes helped, as more and more intricacy crept into the Aggie attack.

Walsh’s son Craig, a favorite receiver of O’Brien’s during that 1982 run to the D-II national championship game, talked about the transition from more of a power game to short passes targeting players in space: “The offense we ran in Davis when I was first there? We ran the

Cowboys’ ... and we would do like the Cowboys, double-set before the snap of the ball.

“Remember? You’d put your hand down, come up and hit your thigh pads and put your hands back down. That had been Davis for many, many years.”

Hawkins and Craig remember installing the West Coast offense between July and the Aggies’ opening day in 1982.

“It suited the team really well because we had multiple weapons,” Craig says. “Heck, it still does.”

Sochor, his players and staff would frequent Sierra College in Rocklin after San Francisco moved its summer camp there from Santa Clara in 1980.

Hawkins remembers that the NFL strike season (1982) provided Walsh with time on his hands to visit Davis regularly. Donna Sochor says Bill would be around to play tennis with Jim, watch his son play and “exchange all that football knowledge.”

And Walsh and Sochor together was a true exchange. Jim provided Bill with the roll-out concept that Joe Montana used frequently. Fans will remember the 49ers often moving the pocket or Joe heading toward the sidelines before finding an open man (memorably like Dwight Clark for “The Catch” against Dallas in the 1982 NFL playoffs).

Craig Walsh and Hackett also remember Bill being “in awe” of Jim’s organization and the longevity of his winning ways. “My dad studied everything Jim did, regarding putting things together,” Craig Walsh says.

And for Hawkins, ““They both brought a high degree of detail, but I think it was also how they brought the intangibles of how you run a practice and affect people (that) made them special ... and friends.”

No pool available? Dive into your bed I

t’s Davis Aquatic Masters board president Kevin Waterson who seems to be making the best use of the out-of-water exercises being sent out by DAM head coaches Stu and Mary Kahn.

You can see him on Facebook making a perfect dive into a bed, followed by an individual medley which set an unofficial world record of 3:59:99. For Stu and Mary’s dry-land exercises paddle on over to damfast.org.

Yes, the U.S. Masters Swimming Spring Nationals — originally slated for San Antonio, Texas, April 23-26 — were canceled, but that didn’t cancel Kevin.

■ More bad news is that the Berryessa open-water swim, once expected on June 6, also has been canceled.

Will this count as the second year of my 2-year ban from the event for not obeying orders to stop because I had run out of time?

Left with only memories, I turned to Marie Kondo, the famous drawer organizer, for a better way to access these memories. T-shirts are folded in half, then rolled up with the event just visible in the drawer. Thus, I can pull out a Berryessa T-shirt or Huntsman Senior World Games quickly when in need.

■ Older people need water for exercise because we don’t have the knees for running or much else.

But, Owen Yancher in a recent Enterprise article quotes experts who say the chlorine in swimming pools will not kill the coronavirus.

This makes no sense because Clorox is what I use to disinfect my house. Following the President’s lead, I am thinking of starting a movement to open swimming pools because of their therapeutic value. Swallowing will be encouraged.

It happens that the DAM board and coaches are considering resuming workouts when the shelter-in-place requirement is

eased. If that happens, it also could happen for Masters water polo.

■ I like the new sign near Davis High: “Coming Soon: Davis High School STEM Building and Aquatic Center.”

The aquatic center could be for use by Davis schools only, but it will free up Schaal Aquatics Center for more Masters polo and lap swimming since Davis High’s swim and water polo teams now practice there.

■ I got the latest issue of Skipshot Magazine from USA Water Polo, which is about all that is left of the sport right now. But I’m glad to see some of our local masters were honored: “The development of Masters water polo over the last 25 years, including a women’s division, has

been greatly influenced by the efforts and commitment of Glenn ‘Doc’ Hofer, M.D.,” says the magazine.

Doc plays with the area’s most active clubs, Davis Water Polo Masters and Capital City Masters at American River College.

It must be added that he is generous with financial support.

Also reported in Skipshot, Kandace Waldthaler was honored as the Bryan Weaver Female Athlete of the Year. Kandace coaches the Davis Water Polo Club, which was named Central California club of the year.

Contact tracing shows potential of data COMMENTARY

BY GARY MANGIOFICO Special to CalMatters

dedication and life-saving actions of doctors, nurses and first responders, but there are numerous examples of technology companies using data to assist those on the front lines, in the private sector and in government working to combat this crisis.

Laboratorians and academic researchers are importing and contextualizing de-identified data for “hot spot” mapping and to inform decision-making on where to deploy public health resources. Aggregate data on demographics, socioeconomic status, insurance coverage, access to care and outcomes help pinpoint populations and regions of over- and/or underutilization of health care services.

The Google-Apple app will maintain Bluetooth contacts on individual phones, rather than central servers — a critical differentiator that allows data to advance public health goals without sacrificing individual

A

s public health officials and policymakers grapple with strategies to contain the spread of the COVID-19 in the United States, one area of focus is contact tracing of individuals who have tested positive for the coronavirus.

While contact tracing is not new — it has been long used in the infectious disease community to monitor those infected and to notify others of possible exposure — the technology community quickly rose to the unprecedented challenge of using it in this pandemic.

Just last month, Google and Apple announced a new diseasemonitoring capability that could be embedded into smartphones.

In a joint statement, the companies said they “hope to harness the power of technology to help countries around the world slow the spread of COVID-19 and accelerate the return of everyday life.”

Of course, technological innovation can’t match the courage,

personal privacy, which is critically important.

As elected officials focus on economic recovery, they should consider the tectonic shifts that have occurred over the last three months and assign greater value to policies that promote the good use of data along with appropriate considerations for personal privacy.

That will require differentiating between thoughtful datadependent initiatives that protect personal privacy, and those that are intended to stop companies from using data in every circumstance, even for the common good. Ensuring clarity of intent and transparency are critical for these efforts to be successful.

To start, California needs to expand innovative public-private partnerships in commerce, logistics and other industries, given the success of these partnerships in responding to the health crisis. Apps that use real-time data to track vehicle diagnostics, driving patterns and goods location also offer potential to alleviate traffic congestion as employees

matriculate back into their workplaces.

Second, the state needs to look for acceptable ways to embrace, and not automatically reject, deidentified data as an essential element of business and government operations. The overarching goal should be to protect privacy and ensure no harm comes from the use of this data.

C

alifornia already has the most comprehensive privacy law in the nation and emphasis should be on building clarity, simplicity and business friendly regulations to support economic recovery while protecting residents’ privacy rights.

Finally, the state should use data and technology to build more efficient, environmentally advanced and sustainable systems in critical areas such as health care. Telehealth is providing medical care to limit the risk posed by COVID-19.

While it cannot replace faceto-face health services that are critical to many Californians, data and technology have made this alternative an effective

Kind Davis people My husband, Alan Jackman, hit a pine cone and fell while biking. Six people, and I have no names, helped him. They stayed with him, called me as I was grocery shopping and called for an ambulance.

Then someone brought his bike, mirror, and helmet home and put it in the side yard. We are so grateful. He broke his hip and his metatarsal in his left hand. He was operated on at Sutter Davis the same day with a partial replacement and is already doing physical therapy.

Please let me know who you are. You are fantastic. Thanks for taking the time and care. You are all wonderful. We feel fortunate to live in a town where six kind people stopped to help.

In the last two years, the state Legislature has addressed the public’s desire to have personal information protected. Now, rather than creating more barriers to advancing data sharing, California should embrace the appropriate use of data to provide a wealth of insights and better outcomes for Californians while ensuring no one is harmed.

This will demonstrate the value of data in promoting a safe and productive future.

Appreciation Recently there was a front-page article in the Sacramento Bee about a Regional Transit bus driver who went the extra mile (pun intended) exposing himself to COVID-19 on a daily basis. It brought to mind all the Yolobus drivers in this county who also provide an essential transportation service. A great number of us can get in our cars and drive to wherever we need to go. But many people would have no means of transportation were it not for Yolobus.

So, thank you Yolobus drivers and all the employees who provide important logistical services at your agency. You are appreciated and recognized for the risks you take each day you report to work.

There are too many to list, but gratitude also for all the essential services without which we could not function: Grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations, the U.S. Postal Service, food banks, banks and credit unions, waste management companies, government agencies, and, of course, service providers such as healthcare workers, firefighters, ambulance responders, law enforcement officers, city and county employees in the office or field, and teachers, school administrators and parents who support distance learning.

Apologies if I neglected to name all essential service providers. Whoever you are, if you are providing a service to the public that puts you at risk during COVID19, you are to be commended.

This booth is our largest fundraiser; loss of this income places us in a serious shortfall going into next year’s budget. Yet, members of SI Davis and our amazing community, have stepped up to help us fill the budget gap by raising almost twothirds of our goal before the Big Day has even begun.

By the time this is printed, Big Day of Giving will be over, and many more of you will have donated to us and to the hundreds of nonprofits in Davis. I want to be the first to thank you, on behalf of the women and girls we support, with grants, scholarships, mentoring and direct relief, through our Live Your Dreams programs.

This will be a tough year for many of us, but you have already shown that by focusing on what is really important, the people in your community, and their basic needs like health care, food and education, we will not only survive, we will thrive because we care.

The new normal I was very moved by the words of Dr. Horst Weinberg, whose letter, The bogeyman, COVID-19, appeared in yesterday’s Davis Enterprise.

Dr. Weinberg asks an important question. “What is needed to erode civil liberty, freedom, constitutional rights, and increase government power?”

He answers, “Three things: Fear, fanned by government leaders and the media, a bogeyman to blame, and government leadership to impose rules touted to save.”

Dr. Weinberg’s wisdom is the result of having spent his first nine years of life in Nazi Germany.

Last month I was horrified to hear the WHO’s Emergency Program Director, Dr. Michael Ryan announce that “We need to find the people who may be sick with

COVID and remove them from their homes.”

This, he states is in an effort to protect family members who aren’t yet infected.

Last week, I listened to a public health official from Ventura County day reiterate the same statement, “We’re not going to be able to keep the person sick with COVID in that home.” He added that they will be removed “with dignity.”

Today, I heard Gov. Gavin Newsom describe the new “Testing, Tracking and Tracing” program in which “contact investigators” will be trained and paid $19 an hour to find individuals who may have COVID and then identify those who have had contact with them. Similarly, if you test positive for the COVID virus, you will be removed from your home.

He anticipates that many “disease detectives,” (his words) will be necessary for such a task, that “it will require an army of folks” to do the job.

Do you still believe that Dr. Weinberg is overreacting when he draws comparisons between what is happening in the world today and the foreshadowing events in Nazi Germany?

Wake up, people! It will soon be too late.

Vote-by-mail ballots I don’t know much about all the partisan bickering behind the vote-by-mail dustup, but I do know two things. I have been using the mail-in ballot system for years without incident. Alas, in the recent primary, our County Elections Office sent me not one, but two mail-in ballots. I am not making this up.

The department person I spoke to about this seemed flummoxed but blamed the fact that I must have recently applied for a DMV license renewal. I had, but it caused me to wonder: Is the computer in the Elections Office broken, that it could not have flagged this obvious goof?

Given the current debate regarding the potentially contentious decision about how to handle high school grades for the second semester, I believe the most rational and fair option has been left out of the discussion: including the grade points from the third quarter completed prior to the closure of schools and weighing these at 50 percent of the second semester for overall grade point averages used for submission of college entrance applications.

At least for the high school, the third quarter was completed and the letter grades accurately reflect a significant amount of grading performance that colleges should take into consideration. For reference, the entire first semester was 16 weeks, including finals week and the threeday start of the year.

Compare this to the third quarter that was a complete 10-week period and thus reflects a substantial grading time interval.

This grading period and the effort we put into it should fairly be reflected in our transcripts.

Startled by the jets I was one of those people who experienced the sound of those four T-38 planes doing the flyby over the Sutter Hospital yesterday, and the sound of them was so startling, I thought my roof was being ripped off. I was trying to get a nap, as I don’t sleep well at night, being quite elderly.

I wonder if, in planning the flyovers, anyone took into account how that affected the patients at the hospital, and will also affect those at the other hospitals scheduled to be so “honored.”

I spoke to a grandson in Reno who told me that he had seen the schedule. I guess that’s a good way to rid California and elsewhere of excess people, through heart attacks, for instance, and to have babies born deaf with punctured eardrums, for starters. No one warned me in advance of the planned “honoring” of the Northern California healthcare workers, and I now have increased ringing in my ears.

Many years ago I watched the Blue Angels do their usual routine out over the desert north of Reno, and at least they flew high to do their tricky maneuvers, not near the earth nor over homes. Thank you for doing the article so boldly.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

FRIDAY, MAY 15, 2020 B3

We found a way to get to the big dance S

aturday, May 9, 2020.

This was the date that had been starred and circled on our daughter’s calendar from the time her high school event schedule was set last year. For her and other high school seniors across the country, few dates are more anticipated than Senior Prom. It is an event over which they prepare, agonize and dream and it is a night that most will remember for the rest of their lives.

I am thrilled to share that, although the event was much different than Molly had ever imagined, she did, indeed, attend her Senior Prom, complete with a full-length formal gown, a four-course dinner, flowers, friends (who also happened to be family) and dancing.

The fête of our year was held on Saturday evening in our lovely East Davis backyard. Our small, starstudded and socially distancing group of celebrants gathered at dusk and were greeted with flutes of sparkly apple-pomegranate juice served by the celebrity maître d, waiter and bus boy, Bob Dunning.

As guests mingled on the patio, wearing haute couture with labels ranging from Target’s Cat & Jack to PromGirl.com, they enjoyed hors d’oeuvres of sweet potato puffs with siracha mayo

and vegetable California rolls.

Flowers, salvaged from the previous week’s May baskets, adorned the dinner table in mason jars and fairy lights twinkled on the arbor above.

When guests were seated and before dinner was served, Bob removed his maître d’ hat for a moment, replaced it with his dad/grandpa hat and presented wristlet corsages to the six young ladies in attendance.

The delicate flowers were a gift from several favorite aunts and had been delivered earlier in the day by Dean Labadie himself. A highlight of the evening was when Bob placed the fragrant orchid corsage on the guest of honor’s wrist. It was a moment to behold.

I served as executive chef, preparing the multiple courses on the menu.

Most of my evening was spent in the kitchen, not because I am the most gifted culinarily, but rather, as we’ve become fond of saying in our house, “Prom isn’t Prom if it’s shared with your mom.”

The menu, four courses and five stars (if I do say so

myself ), consisted of gazpacho; fresh garden salad with vegetables from Molly’s FFA garden; a choice of pasta primavera or shrimp scampi; and a heart-stopping, flaming, tableside presentation of cherries jubilee, prepared with cherries gifted to us from our neighbor’s tree.

After the dinner table and chairs were cleared from the patio, and just before the dancing began, there was a ceremonial crowning of the prom queen and photo op. Molly beamed in her satin royal blue gown and gleaming crown.

The celebrants danced into the night to classics like “Dancing Queen” and Little Richard’s “Good Golly Miss Molly,” as well as hits from Billie Eilish, Harry Styles and Taylor Swift. When the sparkling pomegranate-apple juice ran dry around 10:30 p.m., we poured plain old apple juice straight from the plastic jug without a spirit being dampened.

The evening was perfect except for a single typo in the menu and the fact that the chef forgot to add peas to the pasta primavera.

Nobody seemed to mind.

It was a beautiful night under twinkle lights and stars and shared with our Senior’s favorite people.

And although the prom dress, the flowers, the smiles and the dance moves will never grace the pages of Town & Country Magazine’s society section,

You might stock up on several six-packs M any shoppers plan ahead. They buy additional rolls of toilet paper, a few extra pork chops, two cartons of eggs instead of one, and maybe some rice and beans beyond immediate needs.

Those decisions are often made in response to warnings of potential shortages and so, within reason, make sense.

Here is another of those shelfclearing early warnings: Those who are addicted to sodas and even some beers should know that the novel coronavirus could upset the supply of those items.

A wise addict would rush out and buy an extra six-pack or two.

Turns out that the pandemic is causing a shortfall in the supply of carbon dioxide or CO2. This is the gas that puts fizz into fizzy drinks. Estimates suggest the shortage could approach twothirds of the needed supply.

This implies that the future of sodas, for example, lies somewhere between two extremes: either we shall have the usual supply of sodas with only onethird of normal carbonation or, at the other extreme, we could have normal carbonation but just one-third of usual availability.

The reason for this took me by surprise, though it makes sense.

Because of COVID-19, we now travel less, whether by car or by air, and as a result we use much

less gasoline. Although we can hardly find space to store the excess of oil now available, and so any supply-stretching function of the ethanol cannot be justified, gasoline still contains ethanol.

The U.S. is the world’s biggest producer of ethanol from agricultural feedstock, mostly corn.

Carbon dioxide is a byproduct.

In round numbers, if you take two pound of fermentable sugar made from corn and ferment it, the result will be one pound of ethanol and one pound of carbon dioxide. Unlike carbon dioxide made from coal, oil or natural gas by catalytic conversion, corn-based carbon dioxide can be considered beveragegrade gas and thus used for food applications especially in carbonated beverages.

Thus, the supply of CO2 for fizzy beverages depends on manufacture of ethanol for gasoline, the demand for which depends on travel, which, in turn, is now suppressed by our response to

the virus. And so the virus impacts sodas. This is a fairly typical supply-chain conundrum.

Beer production by large domestic brewers is unlikely to be similarly affected. Such large producers trap and purify the gas escaping from their fermenters for re-use in the product and around the plant and rarely have need to purchase gas from a supplier.

Some large brewers and craft brewers use a special refermentation process for beer carbonation that does not require an outside supply of CO2. “Bottle conditioning,” familiar to most home brewers, is typical.

On the other hand, many small brewers bring their beers to the required final level of carbonation by direct injection of CO2 into cold beer before packaging. These brewers might well be affected by constraints on gas supply.

Some long, long, long time ago (February) when we were contemplating the arrival of the pandemic, I wrote that beer sales at pubs and taverns and restaurants would be curtailed as customers began to avoid crowded places, and that brewers who depend heavily on such sales would be most impacted.

The subsequent actual closure of such businesses has, of course, been a disaster for these breweries,

especially brewpubs. I suggested then that customers who could not drink at pubs would buy more at retail for drinking at home. That has also proved to be the case and beer sales are up significantly at retail outlets.

However, the increase of such retail sales does not replace the revenue lost from drinking at pubs and eateries. Breweries all over, from the largest to the smallest, are in a period of sales decline that some are better equipped to survive than others.

Another daunting problem for brewers is that it takes maybe a month to make a beer from start to finish, though this is mostly an issue for lager brewers. Thus brewers count on sales to make tank space in the finishing cellars for the products currently at an earlier stage of manufacture.

Another problem is that beer is not an endlessly stable product and over time there is an inevitable decline in quality. This is particularly acute if the beer has already been packaged in kegs, bottles or cans. If any beer cannot be sold and swallowed within a certain time, it must be dumped.

There is a dilemma of what beers in what packages in what amounts to bring to market. If the market opens brewers will need time to build an adequate supply. And, of course it comes as a surprise to many brewers

that beer (or other manufactured beverage) is not an absolute essential of the human diet. In an emergency, and under the stress of dire choices, water will do.

When the economy is constrained customers tend to buy cheaper beer rather than a more expensive, premium product.

This tendency is showing up in an interesting predictive metric called the BPI or Beer Purchasing Index. This is a survey of beer wholesalers who are the middlemen between producers of beers and retail stores and records their future intention to buy.

That index has shown a complete turnaround recently with intended future purchases of craft beers at the lowest level it has ever been and well into the don’t buy range and the worst of the beer category. The BPI expects non-premium products (cheapest) to be the best performing beers. Future sales of hard seltzers, for some unfathomable reason, are expected to hold up fairly well.

I guess no industry is unaffected by this pandemic. If the supply chain don’t getcha the marketplace will.

‘Apollo 11’: To infinity, and beyond!

Captivating documentary depicts debut moon landing

‘Apollo 11’ Starring: Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin, Deke Slayton, Clifford E. Charlesworth and dozens of the CAPCOM support team Rating: G, and suitable for all ages

BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic The images haven’t lost their power, and I’m sure they never will.

We’ve had no shortage of NASA-themed re-creations and documentaries since 1995’s “Apollo 13”; that drama definitely jump-started its own genre, starting with 1998’s equally compelling 12-part miniseries, “From the Earth to the Moon.”

All manner of IMAX entries followed, from 2002’s “Space Station 3D” and 2010’s “Hubble,” to 2016’s “A Beautiful Planet.”

But nothing compares to the real thing.

Documentarian Todd Douglas Miller’s “Apollo 11” is a mesmerizing depiction of the off-world mission that fulfilled President John F. Kennedy’s May 1961 message to Congress, when he concluded, “Then we must be bold!”

(Ah, for the days when our presidents were so inspirational and unifying.)

Thanks to a newly discovered trove of previously unprocessed 65mm footage, along with more than 11,000 hours of uncatalogued audio recordings — and supplemented with some familiar images that we’ve seen over the years — Miller and his team meticulously condensed the eight-day mission into a thoroughly absorbing 93-minute experience.

Indeed, at times the presentation borders on candid intimacy, given some of the light-hearted exchanges between the three astronauts and Mission Control.

Miller, who also edited his film, makes excellent use of splitscreen, to depict simultaneous events (and, at times, add a bit of drama).

We’re also reminded of the era’s limitations; the notion that we accomplished this with earlygen computers makes the success even more astonishing. Heck, this is a time when engineers still used slide rules to verify — and

COURTESY PHOTO

Although gathering “Moon rocks” was an essential part of the mission, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin also placed several ongoing experiments on the lunar surface. compute (!) — performance specs.

The film opens with a jawdropping visual — at slightly more than three hours before takeoff — as the two ginormous “crawlers” slowly transport the Saturn V rocket to the launch site.

(As well-versed as I am on the Apollo program, I don’t recall ever having seen this process so up close and personal. Like, wow.)

A brief pan throughout Mission Control reveals a sea of men in shirt sleeves and crew cuts, with but one lone woman; the camera pauses on her, to emphasize the disparity (which resonates in an entirely different manner today than it would have then). Good ol’ Walter Cronkite’s voice is heard off-camera: so wellspoken, so poetic, so uplifting and reassuring.

Michael Collins, making a short statement, concludes with a sentence that is eerily prophetic: “The enormity of this event is something that only history will be able to judge.”

No kidding. Watching all this anew, half a century later, the little hairs still rise at the back of the neck.

Slices of home-movie footage reveal the thousands upon thousands of rapt visitors, from all

across the country — and the world — who’ve crowded on nearby beaches, parking lots, boat docks and motel balconies to witness history in the making. Many of these people are miles away, but that doesn’t matter; their excitement is palpable.

Freeze-frame during a pan of the viewing stands, and you’ll spot sci-fi author Isaac Asimov, “Tonight Show” stalwarts Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon, comedian Jack Benny, President Lyndon B. Johnson and Vice President Spiro Agnew.

The final countdown is interrupted by the discovery of a leak in a liquid hydrogen valve — a mild heart-stopper! — but the countdown continues when the situation is corrected and bypassed.

Miller initially dials out the sound as the Saturn rockets ignite — a moment of utter silence — and then the roar overwhelms the soundtrack (much as that blast would have taken milliseconds to reach the observers, so far away).

Tension is maintained, throughout, by the additional countdowns that precede every significant portion of the mission: far more than merely the five-four-three-two-one blast off at the beginning.

The most suspenseful, by far, is the Lunar module’s descent to the Moon’s surface and Neil Armstrong’s last-minute correction toward a more favorable landing site.

This is the sign of a talented director who has viewers in his palms: Despite our knowing the result, pretty much at every stage, watching it unfold is no less thrilling and suspenseful.

Along with the frisson that runs up our spines, when Armstrong reports: “Tranquility Base here … the Eagle has landed.”

Armstrong is first to step onto the Moon, of course, and his iconic statement is etched in our memories. But Buzz Aldrin’s subsequent remark, as he descends onto the surface, is more poetic: “Beautiful … beautiful,” he breathes, the awe in his voice readily evident, “magnificent desolation.”

One of many fun facts revealed here: Armstrong’s heart rate, monitored throughout the mission and normally a placid 110, shot up to 156 at touchdown.

President Richard Nixon makes the “most historic” phone call ever to emanate from the White House (and cannily slides a bit into political sentiment).

Armstrong and Aldrin gather samples and set up experiments

that’ll be left behind.

The Eagle’s subsequent departure is a genuine nail-biter, as velocity-matching maneuvers are undertaken, in order to reconnect with the orbiting Columbia.

The return journey is punctuated by an unexpectedly poignant moment, as in-cabin footage captures a personal cassette recorder tinnily playing John Stewart’s nostalgic “Mother Country.”

The song swells into the soundtrack, briefly overpowering composer Matt Morton’s eraappropriate Moog Synthesizer and Mellotron score.

The astronauts’ final broadcast from space, just prior to splashdown, is a genuine tear-jerker: a heartfelt shout-out to all the technicians, scientists, ground crew — and everybody else — who made their mission a reality.

Armstrong’s aside, also just prior to splashdown, carries an echo of young Judy Garland’s final magical words in an iconic 1939 film: “No matter where you travel, it’s always nice to get home!”

Indeed.

One must remember that this film was designed for the giant IMAX theater screen.

As a result, although it’s still an enthralling experience at home — thanks to Amazon Prime and other streaming services — the smaller presentation makes the frequent text blocks and IDs almost too tiny to read. That can be frustrating.

But it certainly doesn’t detract from this film’s power: a sterling testament to what we can achieve when working in collaborative harmony.

Davis Youth Flute Choir performs virtual concert Special to The Enterprise The Davis Youth Flute Choir, under the direction of Maquette Kuper, recorded a virtual concert in a project called, “Spring Break 2020, Covid19.”

Of the three pieces for the project, “Danny Boy,” is recorded by four high school seniors and Kuper. It is dedicated to all the high school and college seniors whose spring activities and graduations were canceled this year.

The group represents a crosssection of counties, Sacramento, Yolo and Solano.

Spring break this year fell at the beginning of the third week of “shelter in place.” The Davis Youth Flute Choir was supposed to have held “Spring Break Flute Camp” to prepare the students for an upcoming Sacramento Flute Club flute festival performance that was to happen later in April.

All those plans had to change.

Kuper decided in order to give the kids not only something to do, but give them something positive to come out of the spring break pandemic lock-down, she would offer virtual flute camp.

The group met with her for two hours every morning for a week on Zoom. Since it is not possible

The students recorded their individual tracks, which were then mixed by audio and video editor Stephen Bingen to create a set of YouTube videos. to play at the same time, Kuper told them to mute themselves and to practice during the rehearsal until she had worked with everyone individually.

Occasionally, she would have one of the students demonstrate how to play a particular part for

others to hear.

The most challenging part for them was then to record their individual tracks for submission for the mixing process. Kuper held them to a very high standard and sent them back to re-do them in most cases. She told them that

if they were engineers building a bridge and their calculations were not accurate, she would not want to drive on their bridge. The tracks had to match recorded beats and the music they would hear in headphones while recording. The tracks were then mixed

by audio and video editor Stephen Bingen.

The result of their efforts is a set of virtual YouTube videos that were launched on Mother’s Day for their families and friends and as gift to the community.

The second and third selections, “The Water is Wide” and “Amazing Grace,” were recorded by all 16 participants. They represent Emerson, Harper and Holmes Junior High Schools and Davis and Da Vinci High Schools in Davis, as well as Dixon, Pioneer and Rio Americano High Schools outside of Davis.

Participants are Mallika Bhargava, Hannah Cui, Kent Gao, Victoria Gordon, Amelie Ingram, Anna Li, Rudy Mahajan, Kiernan Negin, Estevan Romero, Shivan Seneviratne, Jocelyn Starr, Jennifer Su, Margot Thompson, Ludi Wang and Andre Zhang.

Performances are available on YouTube by searching “Davis Youth Flute Choir” and the name of each piece: “Danny Boy,” “Water is Wide” and “Amazing Grace.”

Exhibit a tribute to essential workers

Natsoulas shows artwork outside of the gallery Enterprise staff The John Natsoulas Gallery is presenting a tribute to the essential workers of the United States who have sacrificed to provide food and services for an entire population during a global pandemic.

Titled “A Working Lense,” this exhibition is installed in the public space outside the gallery walls at 521 First St. in Davis. The photographs and statements reveal the conditions of America’s working class. The show is available from now through June.

“A Working Lense” is a project of Class Conscious Photographers, a collective of photographers who document the lives of working people, as participants in the broad movement for social, racial and economic justice.

The work exhibited is a text and photo installation that looks at the contributions made by workers during the coronavirus crisis, who everyone depends on to maintain common social infrastructure during this pandemic.

In their voices, presented in text panels and the signs held in

protests, people in the photographs speak to the reality of their lives, and the contradiction between calling workers “essential” while they can’t pay rent, can’t afford healthcare or

confront injustice.

The participating photographers in the exhibit put these images and voices — of truck drivers, warehouse workers, market vendors, recycle workers,

baristas, food servers, subway cleaners, retail workers and other “essential” workers — into this public space to challenge viewers to take some action beyond appreciating the efforts

and risks these workers are making.

The photographers in “A Working Lense” are David Bacon, Glenda Drew, Jesse Drew, Najib Joe Hakim and Antonio Nava.

UC Davis artist lecture series continues online Gamboa also author, educator Special to The Enterprise The UC Davis Art Studio Visiting Artist Lecture Series hosts artist, author and educator Harry Gamboa Jr. online from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Thursday, May 21.

Gamboa was the founder and director of the international performance troupe Virtual Vérité, and a co-founder of Asco in Los Angeles.

His artwork recently has been exhibited nationally at the Museum Ludwig, Cologne; Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, Washington D.C.; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and Nottingham Contemporary, England.

He is the author of “Xoloitzcuintli Doppelgänger

and other stories” (2018) and his essays have been widely published.

Among his numerous honors are a Rockefeller Foundation Award, the Durfee Foundation Artist Award and the Flintridge Foundation Visual Artist Award.

He is the co-director of the photo and media program at the California Institute of the Arts.

A Q&A follows the lecture. Registration is free and available at arts.uc davis.edu/art-studio.

“The Sixth Expanse” (Post-Quinceañera), is just one example of Harry Gamboa Jr.’s work. Gamboa will be the visiting lecturer in the UC Davis Art Studio series event on Thursday.

Free hybrid performance film ‘AntigoneNOW’ presented Production features ensemble in seclusion due to COVID-19 Special to The Enterprise The UC Davis department of theater and dance will present a radical new hybrid performance film of Sophocles’ classic tragedy titled “AntigoneNOW.” Free to the public, the production will be live online for a 24-hour period on Saturday, May 23, beginning at midnight.

“Antigone NOW” features a culturally diverse ensemble of femaleidentifying actors, each in seclusion due to COVID-19, who will evoke the breadth of Antigone’s defiance against devastating loss: the inability to touch or bury the dead body of her brother.

Made collectively in the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore and Japan using mobile phones, iPads and video, this cast and creative team create a unique new work that confronts the isolation of the moment.

The production is based on the translation of “Antigone” by Seamus Heaney with permission by Faber & Faber.

Antigone learns that her brothers have killed each other after being forced onto opposing

When Creon, the king, grants burial of one but not the “treacherous” other, Antigone defies his order, believing it her duty to bury all of her close kin. The tragedy remains a timely exploration of the conflict between those who affirm an individual’s human rights and those who must protect the state’s security.

“When it was clear that COVID-19 would impact our campus, I was moved to consider how we could allow this moment in history to positively impact our learning community and our

intended production of ‘Antigone,’ ” said Margaret Laurena Kemp, co-director and associate professor of theater and dance.

“As an artist and instructor, my call to action is to model collaboration, research, creativity and community engagement through performance and theatermaking practices.

“For me, this is the value of theater and dance at a tier-one research institution. Our hybrid approach to ‘Antigone’ answers the call.”

Incorporating polyphonic vocalization, movement and

horal motifs, the production is co-directed by award-winning Irish director and UCD Granada artist-in-residence Sinéad Rushe.

She is a theater director, performer and teacher of acting, specializing in the Michael Chekhov Technique and Vsevolod Meyerhold’s Biomechanics.

The creative team includes spoken word composer Dahlak Brathwaite (bachelor’s in theater and dance, ’08), movement consultant and choreographer Roger Ellis; sound designer Jennifer Grace, UCD graduate student in theater and dance; additional
