Dreams undimmed UCD student pushes on despite crisis BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer The COVID-19 pandemic has clouded the future for everyone, especially for students who are at the point of embarking on a professional or academic career. Despite the unpredictable circumstances, Rosalina Burton, a human development major at UC Davis, has her sights set on the road ahead. The pandemic is not the first obstacle Burton has faced. Earlier this month, her perseverance and academic achievements won her a $10,000 Dream Award from Scholarship America. The award was created in 2014 for students with financial need “who have overcome significant barriers to make it to college,” according to the Scholarship America website.
BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer
“This is a remarkable group of academic achievers with ambitious goals for their future,” said Robert C. Ballard, president and CEO of Scholarship America. Burton said the Dream Award came as a surprise. The scholarship means that when she graduates next year, she will be debtfree. “That’s huge,” she said. “I feel incredibly blessed for an organization like Scholarship America to recognize my hard work.” Growing up in the foster care system in the San Diego area, Burton said it was a struggle for her to graduate from high school. “I bounced around so much,” she said. When she did graduate, she didn’t think she was smart enough for college. In California, only 50 percent of foster youths graduate from high school. Just 3 percent go on to earn a degree. As Burton transitioned out of foster care, she struggled with depression. “I realized all the people in

After aging out of the foster-care system, Rosalina Burton graduated from Palomar College with an associate’s degree in 2019. Now, she’s enrolled at UC Davis with an eventual goal of earning a Ph.D. my life had been paid to be there,” she said. “I didn’t have anyone who cared about me personally. It affected my confidence.” She also was struggling financially. Instead of continuing with school, she found a job as a mentalhealth worker in Escondido. After a while, she noticed she was getting paid $3 less an hour than her coworkers because she
did not have a degree. “I thought that was ridiculous,” she said. Having worked the same job, Burton knew she was as capable as her coworkers. That realization gave her the confidence and ambition to go back to school. “If they could do it, then I can do it,” she said. She enrolled in Palomar College and earned an

County submits reopening plan to state BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Restaurants began serving meals in house in several Northern California counties last week, drawing diners from throughout the region hungry for a dinner out nearly two months after restaurants were closed to all but take-out and delivery under California’s stay-at-home health order. Those counties that have met all of the public health benchmarks required by the state to reopen dinein restaurants are doing so under guidelines that alter the dining experience by requiring masks on servers, tables at least 6 feet apart and more. So far, 23 counties have been approved to reopen both dine-in

Weed abatement, parking in Old East Davis and an economic analysis of an aquatics facility are on the agenda for Tuesday’s Davis City Council meeting. Not on the agenda: The city budget. City staff had previously planned to introduce a proposed 2020-21 budget to the council on Tuesday but that has been pushed back to June 2 to give staff more time to grapple with a major revenue shortfall caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The city’s financial consultant, Bob Leland, projected at the council’s last meeting a $22 million loss from the pandemic and shelter in place that has sharply curtailed tax revenue. Among the options that may be presented to the council in June are staff pay cuts, a hiring freeze and reduced spending on capital improvement projects. Meanwhile, the council will consider on Tuesday moving to a second phase of the aquatics economic
and financial analysis process, one which would cost about $60,000 if an outside consultant is hired. Staff is recommending that the city reach out to the Davis Joint Unified School District about sharing the cost of that analysis as the next phase would further explore the feasibility of a joint-use facility. Also on Tuesday the council will conduct a public hearing for property owners who wish to protest weed abatement on their property. The hearing follows the council’s decision last month adopting the 2020 Weed Abatement Resolution which declares weeds growing on private property within the city a fire hazard and authorized the fire chief to notify those property owners they must remove them. Property owners have been notified and during Tuesday’s public hearing can formally protest weed abatement on their property. The council also will conduct a public hearing
restaurants as well as destination shopping like malls and swap meets under stage two of the governor’s reopening schedule. Yolo County, meanwhile, has submitted its local readiness plan to the state attesting to having reached the benchmarks required to proceed further as well. However, the state had not signed off on Yolo County’s plan as of Saturday. The county had been preparing to submit its plan early last week despite having not met one of the key benchmarks set by the governor’s plan: no COVID-19 deaths in the previous 14 days. There had been five deaths in the last two weeks, but all were at the Stollwood Convalescent Hospital in

Woodland. Stollwood was the site of a coronavirus outbreak that sickened more than 60 residents and staff members and has taken 15 lives to date. But Yolo County officials believed those deaths should not be considered as far as the local readiness plan is concerned because they are not an indication of ongoing community spread. At Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting, health officials told the board they planned to submit the plan as soon as that afternoon. However, before that could happen, two more deaths were reported by the county, neither of which involved

Owing to shelter-inplace orders stemming from the coronavirus situation, this year’s end-ofyear graduation and promotion ceremonies in the Davis school district will not be able to take place in-person, in the traditional manner. However, over the last few months, school district staff, students, parents and community partners have thought creatively on different ways to celebrate and highlight these special moments. For the school district’s high school programs, each campus has worked independently with an outside production company to develop and produce a high-quality, virtual graduation video that will be available for viewing on each school website or Facebook account. These recorded graduation videos, unique to each high school, will feature speakers, graduate video clips, and other features to make the event special and personalized. The community can share in the joy and
celebration with the graduation information below: ■ Davis Senior High School: Virtual Graduation Video, June 12 at 7 p.m. — link provided on DSHS website. ■ Da Vinci Charter Academy: Live Virtual Graduation, June 11 at 7:01 p.m. — link provided on DVCA website. ■ Martin Luther King Jr. High School: Virtual Graduation Video, June 10 at 6:30 p.m. — link provided on King website and Facebook. ■ Davis School for Independent Study: Virtual Graduation Video, June 11 at 5 p.m. link provided on DSIS website and Facebook. ■ Davis Adult Education: Virtual Graduation Video, June 8 — provided on Adult Ed Facebook. Across the school district, other grades and classes will share special moments through virtual celebrations, with each school creating and sharing their unique content in a variety of ways.

Briefly Dodd insurance bill clears hurdle SACRAMENTO — Legislation from State Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, that would streamline residential insurance claims for victims of disasters such as wildfires has cleared a key committee. “People who pay their premiums deserve to be taken care of without unnecessary delay,” Sen. Dodd said. “They definitely shouldn’t have to jump through hoops when their homes have been damaged or destroyed. Insurance companies must act swiftly to advance living expenses for temporary housing and other costs and they shouldn’t bury homeowners in exhaustive inventory forms.” Senate Bill 872, sponsored by Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara, expands the definition of additional living expenses that must be paid to homeowners for losses incurred in a state of emergency. Upon submission of a claim, it requires an advance payment of no less than four months for costs such as housing, furniture rental and transportation. Also, it mandates an advance payment of no less than 25 percent of a policy limit for lost contents without submission of an inventory form. The bill, co-authored by Sen. Mike McGuire, D-Healdsburg, makes insurers give homeowners a 60-day grace period for payment of residential premiums after an emergency. Also, insurance companies will be barred from deducting the land value from payouts for those who build on new lots.

Signs, signs, everywhere a sign ... A
s we struggle every day with this unwelcome pandemic, we don’t know yet if there’s light at the end of the tunnel, but thanks to a dedicated group of parent volunteers, community members and DJUSD personnel, we now have considerable light within the tunnel. Yes, we’re talking about a celebration for graduates of all of Davis’ high schools. We have talented and dedicated students and faculty and administrators at Da Vinci High, King High, Davis Senior High and the Davis School for Independent Study. Students from all four high schools will receive their diplomas soon and head off well armed to deal with whatever challenges our uncertain world throws their way. On Friday we as a family drove over to Davis Senior High School for the first time since classes were canceled for good in March — Friday the 13th to be exact — to pick up an exquisite lawn sign to help celebrate our daughter Molly’s graduation. Beautifully crafted and cleverly drawn, the sign says poignantly “Davis Senior High Class of 2020, A Year to Remember!” A year to remember, indeed. So memorable, in fact, that I’ve waived my usual ban on the use of exclamation points. One day our kids were skipping happily off to school. The next day, without warning, it was over for good. Our senior, Molly, and all of her classmates across four high schools had those final few special months of their high-school careers ripped away without a moment’s notice. At first, of course, it was supposed to be for just a few weeks, stretching through spring break, but soon it became obvious there would be no coming back. Molly and one of her sisters were on the track team. Our youngest son was on the volleyball team. Everything was stopped cold just as their seasons were getting started. There wasn’t even
time to clean out their lockers. Their stories are by no means unique. Every student attending one of our four high schools had serious plans for the spring that were scrubbed at the last minute. Year-long academic projects just coming to fruition, an especially difficult class mastered, a promising season on the diamond, an after-school job, an animal raised for the county fair, a choir trip to Europe. Ours is a school system with such full-bodied participation in so many extra-curricular offerings and disciplines that there is a long list of activities that were canceled.
T
he hope of those providing the lawn signs is that you will drive by and honk long and loud and hard and shout at the top of your lungs when you see one of these gems sprouting from a Davis front lawn or displayed in a window. There are 824 seniors this year, which means there are 824 lawn signs displayed around town representing 824 unique and special lives. Sooner or later you’re bound to see one or two or three of these signs or maybe even a dozen. There should be a swell prize for the person who sees the most. I do know that if you see all 824, you’ll go straight to Blue Devil heaven. But lawn signs are only a warmup act. The main event will hit town on May 29, a Friday, when all Davisites are asked to take part in a community-wide celebration for our town’s high school graduates of 2020. According to organizers, everyone is invited to “Join us out-

Adds the outline for May 29, “Throughout the day seniors and their families will attend pickup events at their high schools. DJUSD staff will be on hand on school sites following county policy of social distancing as families with their seniors pull up and pop their trunks to receive their cap and gown, yearbook and diploma. “From 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., have your family be on the lookout for decorated vehicles as they drive through Davis.

Yolo County Judge David Reed, left, and Steven Scharl join via Zoom as Scharl officially completes the AIC program online.
Addiction Court graduation goes virtual Special to The Enterprise Woodland resident Steven Scharl successfully graduated from Yolo County’s Addiction Intervention Court last week, the Department 14 celebration conducted virtually on the Zoom platform. When the COVID-19 crisis hit, all of Yolo Superior Court’s AIC appearances were canceled to avoid further spread of the virus. In early April, Yolo County’s justice partners rebooted Mental Health Court and Addiction Intervention Court by having its first informal “Zoom court” where participants met with team members and the AIC and MHC judge through Zoom video conferencing. After nearly two years in AIC, Scharl, 59, had met all requirements and was ready for his graduation. The graduation was put on hold due to the COVID-19 crisis until AIC team members decided that there was nothing preventing the graduation from occurring by Zoom. Scharl was very
much in favor of this. Addiction Intervention Court is a specialty court program that serves up to 20 individuals who struggle with substance use disorders and are involved in the criminal justice system as a result of their addiction. The program is a collaborative effort between the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office, Yolo Superior Court, Public Defender, Probation Department and Health and Human Services Agency. On Thursday, Scharl, his family members, other AIC participants, and Woodland Police Department Deputy Chief Anthony Cucchi entered the Zoom “waiting room” and were “admitted” into Zoom court for Scharl’s graduation. AIC team members also were “in court” by Zoom. Scharl had been arrested by Woodland police in May 2018 for physically and verbally aggressive acts against officers. Ironically, Scharl had served as a police officer in Hawaii for

Judge David Reed, who presides over AIC, made initial remarks stating that “this is a special day and an unusual situation, having a graduation by Zoom.” “Zoom is becoming more and more natural and is a good way to feel a personal connection in these COVID times,” Reed said, telling Scharl: “You are ready for graduation and to leave AIC behind you. This is the end of a chapter in your life but the beginning of a new chapter. Congratulations!”
There may not be a graduation procession into Ron and Mary Brown Stadium at Davis High School in June or in any auditoriums throughout Davis, but there will be a procession of sorts celebrating the Class of 2020 through the streets of Davis later this month. Davis residents are encouraged to cheer on the graduates from outside their homes and businesses on Friday, May 29, as graduating seniors hit the streets with decorated cars. “From 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., have your family be on the lookout for decorated vehicles as they drive through Davis,” said an announcement released Sunday. “The Davis City Council, the Davis Police Department, the Davis Joint Unified School District and community

Retail learning to navigate pandemic L
ocal merchants are starting to add more curbside retail pickup options, as some COVID-19 restrictions begin to lift. But reopening is a challenge for small businesses as the owners work to comply with safety standards. Yolo County is in Early Stage 2, where nonessential retail businesses may reopen if their work can be done safely at a 6-foot distance from others, and follows other safety measures. On Thursday, the county expanded those offerings to include car washes, pet grooming, outdoor museums and gallery spaces, childcare, and residential and janitorial cleaning. Also new but mostly uninterrupted is appliance repair and landscape gardening. County officials hope to qualify for a higher level of Stage 2 soon, which would allow destination retail shopping (like malls and swap meets), dine-in restaurants, and schools (with modifications). With that in mind, I will use more of my column to share those changes, focusing less on listing restaurants that are open. My Google sheet, Davis Businesses during COVID-19, remains a work in progress. It’s at https://bit.ly/Davis Businesses. In it, there are sheets for Restaurants-open, Restaurants-closed, Other businessesretail, Other businesses-service, Special hours (for seniors or compromised shoppers), and Gifting Stimulus Program beneficiaries. The spreadsheet is not editable. Please email wendyedit @gmail.com to suggest changes. As I begin this phase of coverage, I will mention businesses as I learn about them. It is in no way a complete list of what’s open. Please email suggestions that I can add. ———— Bizarro World is back open with limited hours, usually from noon to 4 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays through Sundays. Curbside pickup is available. “We will continue to do delivery and mail order for at-risk customers that cannot come down,” owner Dan Urazandi said. ———— Davis Shoe Shop is back open for normal business hours: 10
a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. “We can’t wait to help you with whatever your shoe, purse or boot needs may be,” it wrote on its Facebook page. ———— Pet Food Express, 2171 Cowell Blvd., is taking appointments for its self-service dog baths. Call 530-297-7777. ———— Three of Davis’ most popular restaurants have been closed during the pandemic. They include De Vere’s Irish Pub, Café Bernardo and Bistro 33. I reached out to all of them and heard back from the first two. Henry de Vere White said De Vere’s, closed since St. Patrick’s Day, planned to reopen on Friday and Saturday for dinner, with curbside pickup from 5 to 7 p.m. It took a while to implement online ordering, he said. They plan to add items and hours of service each week. Visit https://www.deverespub. com/. Family meals are available if you order before 3 p.m. for same-day pick up. “We also have a local beer program, cocktail program, and we will be selling featured spirits and wine.” ———— On May 11, Stephanie Patton, general manager of the Davis Café Bernardo, said, “We are definitely reopening once we are able to serve guests in our dining room. I assure you we are anxiously waiting to serve the Davis community as soon as we are able!” The restaurant, at 234 D St., has been closed since April 1. ———— Bistro 33 and its adjacent City Hall Tavern have been closed since March 18. They are at 226 F St. A message to restaurant owner Matt Haines and other employees went unanswered all week. ———— UC Davis’ Coffee House, closed since March 18, is back
open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays. Delivery and pickup orders for CoHo can be made through Grubhub. ———— Plainfield Station, 23944 County Road 98, remains open, serving takeout food to go from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Some passers-by have been confused by a “FOR RENT” sign out front, which is for a cottage the owner is renting in the back of the property, the owner said. ———— Green River Brewing & Taproom, 4513 Putah Creek Road in Winters, says it has the permission from the local health department to open its outdoor park area for “takeout” dining and drinking. “In keeping with the spirit of social distancing, we are happy to have a minimum of 10 feet between all tables in the park,” it said, noting that horseshoes and cornhole games remain closed, but dogs are allowed on leash. The sponsored Facebook post garnered 130 comments by Thursday, mostly favorable, where many people were tagging friends to meet there. ———— Center City Automotive, 300 Madson Place, changed hands this month. After 39 years, owner Doug Hatton retired in April. Although Doug and his wife Margee (bookkeeper for five years) will be mostly gone, the other employees remain. The new owners include 29-year employee Jim Wohlgemuth, as well as the owners of Davisville Express Lube: Ron Lautzenheiser, James Williams and Bruce Jewett; and Davisville’s manager, Miguel Leon. “We’re changing very little,” Lautzenheiser said. Jim will still be behind the counter, and Doug may even pop in occasionally. Tire sales, service and wheel alignment are new additions to the service menu. “We’re also considering opening on Saturdays for oil changes and tire and brake service.” Meanwhile, Lautzenheiser said they’re working on a service and charging package for electric vehicles for Davisville Express Lube, 2014 Lyndell Terrace. That has been delayed because of COVID-19. ————
YOLO CYCLE is a new fitness business, offering indoor cycling classes on Facebook Live. Owner Raychel Kubby Adler was searching to lease a multi-use health and wellness space for her business YOLO WELL when COVID-19 struck. Adler is a fitness, wellness and life coach who offers resources, training, workshops and retreats. “I was looking for a multi-use space for health and wellness practitioners of various modalities to teach classes, host workshops and trainings,” she said. If that materialized, it would include a space for YOLO CYCLE, and a community rental space. Adler is a master-level certified Spinning Instructor who has taught cycling classes for more than 20 years, most of it at Davis gyms around town. Rides are donation-based, “but I tell people to not let that keep them from joining in!” She has suggestions on her website, https://yolowellness. com/, on how to turn your regular bike into a do-it-yourself Peloton or Spin bike, by using training stands. She provides Amazon links for trainers from $65 and up. “While the primary focus is an indoor cycling model, I have had people ‘ride’ on treadmills, rowers or just using their bodies.” Adler said. “More than anything, it is a place to find community during this time, if this is how you love to move your body.” ———— In case you missed it, a Davis Chamber of Commerce survey released last week said half of respondents have experienced a severe reduction in income, and 14 percent have shut down completely as a result of the pandemic. The results were from early May, with responses from 124 Davis Chamber members. Among the findings listed in a May 13 Enterprise article: ■ 75 percent of surveyed businesses reported a reduction in income, with half seeing the reduction as “severe”; ■ 18 percent furloughed or laid off most or all of their staff, and another 26 percent reported some layoffs or a reduction in staff hours; ■ 66 percent of businesses reported reducing operating

But if and when the plan is approved, county residents should not expect to be dining out immediately — rather, county health officials, working with the Board of Supervisors, will devise a plan for moving forward under state and county guidelines and the health officer with amending the
Blacklock said county officials would be in conversations with the state later that day regarding a variance and if those talks proved fruitful, would be submitting the readiness plan by the end of the week. The plan was ultimately submitted late Thursday. The benchmarks required by the state that the county has now met include capacity for both COVID-19 testing and contract tracing following positive test results; hospital capacity and sufficient supply of personal

That current situation includes a significant increase in testing in the last week — a total of 3,963 tests as of Friday — but no significant increase in positive results. There have been a total of 13 positive tests in the first 16 days of May in Yolo County, as opposed to 101 positive tests in the first 16 days of April.
A total of 22 county residents have died, including the 15 deaths attributed to Stollwood.

In all, 125 businesses benefitted from the program, and 73 hit their stimulus cap of $1,000 in matching funds. The program infused more than $200,000 into Davis’ downtown businesses.

Marrone biofungicide OK’d for Canadian cannabis Special to The Enterprise Marrone Bio Innovations Inc., a Davis-based maker of sustainable bioprotection and plant health solutions, announced this week that its Regalia Maxx biofungicide received the first approval for indoor and outdoor use on cannabis and hemp in Canada. Cannabis and hemp have been relatively small crops in Canada until lifestyle cannabis was approved in 2018. According to Health Canada,
77,800 acres of hemp were grown in 2018, valued at an estimated $50 million USD. And while 2019 acres are still being compiled, Canada Health has reported a 51% increase in licenses in 2019. The majority of Canadian cannabis and hemp acres have been certified organic. There have been limited options to control diseases and insects and it is only recently that a few select crop protection products have been approved for use.

Looking ahead through gray locks
L Taking the next steps with caution BY BRETT LEE Enterprise staff writer
A
s we enter the second month of the COVID-19 shutdown, we are beginning to see the signs of diverging public sentiment around many of the shelter in place restrictions. We see this divergence most dramatically at the state and national levels. I believe that we are fortunate in Yolo County that the cities and the county have remained united in our coordinated approach to the crisis. I would like to express my sincere thanks to our community for helping us achieve a flattening of the curve. As the shelter in place restrictions are slowly loosened around us, it is important that we acknowledge that we are treading into unknown territory. A vaccine for prevention and robust treatment for the illness are not yet available. Within our communities, we have many who have significant risk factors for worsened outcomes should they contract the virus. And yet, the economic toll and social and psychological toll of the restrictions are real as well. The criteria for loosening restrictions are objective, yet it is subjective judgment that is being used to set what meeting those objective criteria will mean. I mention this to provide context to provide a reminder that the effects of COVID-19 can mean many different things to our residents. The loss of income, the inability to pay one’s bills — financial devastation — this is a real experience. The recognition that contracting this illness can be life threatening and may be life ending is also a real experience. It is unclear whether the state and the regions are loosening the restrictions too slowly or too quickly. What is clear is that as a city must make some prudent financial decisions to address the revenue shortfall we are facing. The city has lost significant revenue, primarily due to a dramatic loss of sales tax revenue. The city is not as dependent on sales tax revenue as some cities in our region. In most cases, this is a mixed blessing. However in our current situation, this is a positive fact. The City Council gave support at its last meeting for the city manager and his team to begin working with the department heads and employee groups to identify cost-saving measures to address the revenue shortfall.
T
he revenue shortfall we are ultimately facing is unknown at this point. Will the loosening of restrictions result in a relatively quick return to “normal?” Or will opening up trigger a resurgence in cases prompting a second lock down? We are cautiously optimistic, but we must and will prepare for scenarios that do not have a speedy return to normal. We cannot risk planning based on overly rosy scenarios to discover only too late that insufficient action has been taken. Unlike the federal government, the city is required to have a balanced budget. This makes it doubly important for us to identify and implement costsaving measures now so that we may protect the essential services that the city provides to the community. I am very optimistic that the City Council and the city staff will work together to identify cost savings to address the many possible scenarios we may face. The City Council and city staff are committed to charting out a course ideally to provide the best outcomes for our city, our economy and most of all for the well-being of every Davis resident. — Brett Lee is the mayor of Davis.
ast week I got the days mixed up, and today my mind is wandering. It’s as if the upheaval and tragedy of our current situation is like a giant centrifuge, spinning my thoughts and tossing them out at random. Here’s one: I’m wondering if I’ll be alive when Gavin Newsom is elected president. I know that the Newsom presidency can’t come until after Joe Biden serves four or eight years and his vice president, whoever she may be, moves up and serves eight years. Will all these people live long enough to take their turns, and will I live long enough to see them? My husband says that my guesses about the presidency come not from rational data but from raw attraction. He might be right when it comes to Newsom who only becomes better looking as his hair lengthens and his features fill with emotion. I began watching his noon coronavirus briefings by accident but I’ve become an avid, every-day fan. I prepare my lunch so it’s ready precisely at noon, so that I can plop down in front of the TV to watch him. My husband eats in another room, claiming it’s more comfortable, but I notice he can’t see Gavin from there. Although I haven’t mentioned this to my husband yet, Newsom is not the only man I’ve been following closely. I watch clips of all the latenight comedians, but my favorites are Stephen Colbert
and Trevor Noah, especially Noah whose variations in facial hair are fun to follow, not to mention his incredible range of foreign accents and his imitations of government idiots that are right on, especially of the Idiot in Chief. I wish there were female superstars on my playlist, but I probably need to contact some young people to ask for names. The person I see most often is national Coronavirus Task Force member Deborah Birx, M.D., whose polite diffidence doesn’t cut it with me. ———— Visual media, like flashing lights at night, attract me more these days than anything written or printed. If I’m not swooning for Newsom on TV, I’m at the computer Zooming for exercise classes or for meetings with my family. Sharing a glass of wine with friends over Zoom has become a thing for many people, including me, as has watching video tutorials on how to cut hair. I recently began using another visual medium, my phone’s camera, to track the evolution of my hair, as I watch the gray grow more prominent each day. Last weekend I held my camera
above my head and snapped a picture. The resulting image looks like a sweep of thin, wind-blown seaweed, like you’d find on a beach, except it’s gray. Viewed from other angles, my hair still has color, but in a month I’ll be my mother, before she dyed her hair. She opted for hair dye in desperation in her 50s after she had trained to become a teacher but no one hired her. “I look too old,” she said sadly. Out came the dye and three weeks later she had a job. With that kind of story in my past, you can imagine how cheerless I feel about my growing gray. I’m far from alone in my preoccupation with tresses. When I try to talk thoughtfully about Gavin Newsom’s leadership and policies, for example, someone always mentions his hair. People mention their own hair as well. At a recent Zoom meeting with folks from Yolo Hospice, one of my colleagues said she had turned off her Zoom camera because of her hair. “My bangs are down to my chin,” she lamented. “My wife cut my hair,” said another colleague. “We’re in counseling.” ———— Since my last column, I had a birthday. Family and friends fussed over me on Zoom so much I felt joyous, the joy tinged only by having to see myself on Zoom. For every happy conversation, there was also that brief moment of double-take when I see myself looking
insufficiently groomed, because of my hair, and old, because of my lined face, which I’ve never had such a lengthy opportunity to examine before. Which brings me back to the beautiful face of Gavin Newsom. I have enormous sympathy for the person behind that face as he tries to negotiate a data-driven response to COVID-19, while dozens of towns and cities urge him to open California, data be damned. Over his many news conferences, Newsom’s hair is growing, and I can now see it peeking out from the back of his head, like two little “thumbs up” on both sides of his neck that confirm his quiet optimism. ———— Hair speaks to everything that’s happening right now. Our normal world has been given a bowl cut by the pandemic and the reasonable responses of scientists have been snipped off by a madman in the White House, who is eager to finish with a dye job — although few of us trust the orange bottle in his hands. On the positive side, no matter what you do to hair, it grows back. We can cut it, shave it, color it and ignore it, and still, if you’re not in chemotherapy or going bald, it will grow back. Our world will grow back. But what will it look like? — Marion Franck has lived in Davis for more than 40 years. Reach her at marionf2 @gmail.com.
LETTERS A hopeful Forum During these days of decreasing confidence in both our future and our nation’s ability to successfully manage our present it was refreshing, even inspirational, to read in Sunday’s Enterprise, Congressman Garamendi’s column, describing the seven parts of a creative, encouraging and hopeful bill he has introduced: H.R. 6560 (Undertaking National Initiatives to Tackle Epidemic Act of 2020 or the UNITE Act of 2020.) On the same Forum page, Cory Koehler outlines the Davis Chamber of Commerce's reasons for urging development of Aggie Research Campus. Ambitious, yes, but an investment of resources and effort that provides an opportunity for us to work together towards a bright new tomorrow for our city. Don Sherman Davis
Don’t we have innovators? I have some questions. But first, I want to state my appreciation for the letter (Enterprise May 1, printed edition) titled “Solar lease option.” It’s deftly written, clear, objective, with a reasonable tone and a smooth style. Same with the next letter, titled “Contract with BrightNight.” It’s also clear, objective, with a reasonable tone, etc. Thus, I felt the same appreciation, until I got to the last sentence, which reads like this: “However, rescission in such a situation would be counterproductive, and discourage innovators from coming to Davis.” My questions: ■ Since when do we need innovators from outside the city limits? ■ Don’t we have innovators in Davis? ■ Aren’t the five names at the bottom of “Solar lease option” five examples of this town’s many innovators? ■ Have you forgotten their names? (Hint: Robb Davis, Joe Krovoza, Ann Evans, Mike Corbett, Bill Kopper.) ■ What happens when Davis’

innovators present ideas? ■ Are they told (by a 4-to-1 vote), “Thank you, but no, we’re going to bring in some innovators from elsewhere”? ■ As a result, will Davis’ younger generation of innovators move out of town? I don’t know the answers. I just ask the questions. Here’s one more: ■ Can Davis High School hold its graduation in a drive-in movie theater? (Hint: You don’t have to wait until night; you can do it in the day; for the after-party, you can show a movie.) Some might be asking, how can we do that? Don’t ask me. Ask some innovators.

AGENDA: City budget talk pushed to June 2 From Page A1 on proposed modifications to preferential parking areas and two-hour timed zones in Old East Davis. The hearing follows more than a year of work involving city staff and the Old East Davis Neighborhood Association aimed at alleviating parking concerns among residents in that neighborhood. Now proposed by staff and supported by the OEDNA are an expansion of X-permits for downtown employees that would yield more than 40 additional parking spaces. Four resolutions are also on the agenda Tuesday, including proclamations recognizing June as LGBTQ+ Pride Month; celebrating the 50th anniversary of the city’s recycling program; supporting the United Nations Treaty Prohibiting Nuclear Weapons; and supporting the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women. Tuesday’s meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. and is accessible in multiple ways: ■ Televised live on city of Davis Government Channel 16 (available to those who subscribe to cable television) ■ Livestreamed online at https://cityofdavis.org/ city-hall/city-council/citycouncil-meetings/meetingvideos ■ Via Zoom at https:// zoom.us/j/91250758434 — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@ davisenterprise.net.

associate’s degree in 2019. At Palomar, Burton confronted some of the learning challenges she had had in high school and located the resources she needed to overcome them. She sought out therapy and tapped into the school’s disability resource center. “That helped me get the foundation I needed to do well in classes,” Burton said. “It built my confidence.” After earning good grades and her associate’s degree, Burton was admitted to UC Davis through the Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program, an agreement that ensures admission to six UC campuses for California community college graduates
At UC Davis, Burton got connected to the Guardian Scholars Program for foster youth. She also received a McNair Scholarship, a federal program designed to prepare undergraduate students for graduate programs through involvement in research and other activities. Currently, Burton is working in a lab with Dr. Leah Hibel, professor of human development and family studies. With Hibel, Burton is working on the California Babies Project, researching the develop of children’s selfregulation — their ability to control their own thoughts, feelings and actions.
While weekly research meetings are still happening through Zoom, Burton said she misses going into the lab. “I’m a person who likes to go in and sit down,” she said. “It has been challenging not doing that physically. It’s harder to understand certain concepts.” Still, remote learning has had some advantages, Burton said. The change of pace has allowed her to read up on other aspects of her research. “It’s been kind of a blessing,” she said. “Since we can’t be in the lab doing hands-on work, we’re focusing on background information. I have more time to understand the theories behind the research we’re studying.”
It is not clear yet when Burton might be able to resume her inperson research. UC Davis shifted to remote learning at the end of March. Classes will continue online through the summer, and plans for fall quarter remain uncertain. Burton is hoping that when she graduates in June 2021, she will be able to walk in a real commencement ceremony. After graduation, she plans to pursue a Ph.D. in child adversity and resiliency. “I thought I should just reach for the stars and see what happens,” Burton said. — Reach Caleb Hampton at champton@davisenterprise.net.

UC Davis team and collaborators targeting autism BY KATHY KEATLEY GARVEY Enterprise staff writer A 16-member team of international researchers is targeting autism spectrum disorder to see if a drug discovered in the Bruce Hammock lab at UC Davis can support efforts to control or block the neurodevelopmental disorder. ASD, which impacts the nervous system, affects 1 percent of the U.S. population or 62.2 million globally. An estimated 64 to 91 percent of the population are at risk genetically. The researchers’ latest paper, “Maternal Glyphosate Exposure Causes Autism-Like Behaviors in Offspring through Increased Expression of Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase,” appears in the current edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide and crop desiccant used to kill broadleaf weeds and grasses that compete with agricultural crops. “In the research of autism, brain-gutmicrobiota axis plays a key role in ASD from human studies,” said lead researcher and neurobiologist Kenji Hashimoto of the Division of Clinical Neuroscience, Chiba University Center for Forensic Mental Health, Chiba, Japan. “Accumulating evidence suggests abnormal composition of gut microbiota in subjects with autism. In this study, we found abnormal composition of gut microbiota in offspring

after maternal glyphosate exposure. Thus, exposure of glyphosate during pregnancy may cause abnormal composition of gut microbiota in offspring, resulting in the risk for autism.” The drug discovered in the Hammock lab inhibits sEH, a HASHIMOTO Lead natural enzyme that regulates researcher epoxy fatty acids, “which control blood pressure, fibrosis, immunity, tissue growth, depression, pain and inflammation to name a few processes,” said co-author Hammock, a distinguished professor with a joint appointment in the UCD department of entomology and nematology and the UCD Comprehensive Cancer Center. Human clinical trials are underway to see if the non-addictive drug relieves chronic pain. “It is critical to appreciate that mouse models are not absolutely predictive of the human situation,” Hammock said. “Similarly, maternal immune stress is simply a model that gives behavioral changes in the offspring. That said, it is a relevant model of abnormalities in mental development in the offspring. This is a widely used model of the effect of maternal stress on the next generation that has been established in many species, including nonhuman primates. Sadly, maternal stress was shown tightly associated with the mental state of human children as well.

Mary N. Lakie-Hermann Oct. 28, 1925 — April 18, 2020
Mary Josephine Nelson LakieHermann, 94, passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by family on Saturday, April 18, in Sacramento. Mary is a former resident of Davis and Macomb, Ill. Mary was born in Fergus Falls, Minn., on Oct. 28, 1925, to Alfred John Nelson and Thea Martinson Nelson. She grew up in Fergus Falls and Barnesville, Minn. Mary married William (Bill) Lakie in Barnesville on March 21, 1948. Following Bill’s death, she married George Hermann on Jan. 25, 1993. Mary graduated from Barnesville High School in 1943, and attended Concordia College in Morehead and graduated with a bachelor’s degree with distinction in 1949 from the University of Minnesota, receiving a public health nursing certificate from Fairview Hospital in Minneapolis. Mary was employed as a public health nurse in Alameda County for a number of years and spent her life volunteering with many community and church groups. Mary was a wonderful mother, grandmother, wife and friend to many. Her generosity and kindness were seen in the many people and organizations she worked with and supported. She was a member of the Davis Community Church and a member and elder of the First Presbyterian Church in Macomb, a member of the Presbyterian Women, member of PEO and Anna L Parker book club. She worked on the McDonough District Hospital Auxiliary and was involved in both UCD and WIU University Women. Mary had a great wit and sense of humor, she perfected the art of letter
writing, was a gracious hostess and her recipes are shared by many family and friends. Mary was a voracious reader and enjoyed biographies and books on current and world events. Mary loved spending time with her family and had special times with her grand and great-grandchildren. Mary loved traveling and visited family in Norway and Scotland as well as across the U.S. Her 90th birthday was celebrated in New York City with her three daughters. Mary is survived by her daughters, Susan Lakie, Patricia Lakie, Ann Lakie and Jan (Kevin) Wiehardt; grandchildren, Melanie (Sergio) Gonzalez, Timothy (Marina Jaquez) Peterson, Kirsten (Darren) Clerkin, Andrew Peterson and Sarah Peterson; three great-grandchildren, George Patrick Clerkin, John Joseph Clerkin and Sophie Gonzalez. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Nancy (Lakie) Moe, nieces and nephews. Mary was preceded in death by her husbands, William (Bill) L. Lakie, George W. Hermann, her parents Al and Thea Nelson, Bill’s parents William (Bim) and Fay Lakie, her brother and sister-in-law, Alfred and Patricia Nelson, and her brother-in-law, Robert Moe. Services will be held at a later date in Sacramento and in Barnesville where she will be buried. Memorial donations in Mary’s honor may be made to one of her favorite charities: Covenant House, Special Olympics or your local food bank. Mary treated everyone with kindness and was an amazing role model for us all.

“Our paper implies no human health risk,” Hammock pointed out. “This was a very high dose of glyphosate, actually close to acute toxicity. This is stress, and the bioassay is the effect of stress in the dam on the pups. The paper shows that with massive doses of glyphosate to the dams for long periods in the maternal stress model that glyphosate causes behavioral abnormalities in the pups. “Such studies are important to generate hypotheses of environmental risk,” said Hammock, who meshes his expertise in chemistry, toxicology, biochemistry and entomology, in his 50-year research to find a non-addictive drug to control chronic pain. “Because we only saw maternal immune stress at exceptionally high doses of glyphosate, our data fail to support the hypothesis that glyphosate exposure causes autism with expected dietary, environmental or even occupational exposure.” The research drew financial support from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (to Hashimoto); and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences River Award (to Hammock), and NIEHS Superfund Program (to Hammock). Hammock has directed the UCD Superfund Program for nearly four decades. The Hashimoto-directed Chiba group has shown that these drug candidates prevent and even reverse a variety of chronic diseases of the central nervous system in mice and human cells including autism-like behaviors.

From the
Ground Up Jump start home projects with a virtual consultation BY MARTY MORSE Special to The Enterprise For nearly two months now, homeowners — while following the state and local stay at home orders — have had the opportunity to analyze their homes. More than likely, they have discovered a few issues that need some attention. Perhaps it is time to renovate and expand that kitchen, or install a new vanity in the hall bath? However, while practicing social distancing techniques, you may not be ready to have a professional come to your home. How can you proceed? Opening up your home after using it as your safe, virus-free environment, is like navigating unchartered waters. Solutions will be varied depending on your needs. However, now more than ever, homeowners are feeling urgency to renovate and update their homes to accommodate changing needs — as well as home functions — as communities transition through the pandemic. Our company has introduced new practices to address the changing
needs of our clients and to conform to current municipal and state orders. Virtual consultations are becoming more accepted in the home improvement industry. Thankfully, new applications and high-speed internet have allowed our phones and computers the ability to stream live video and audio onto our devices. Virtual meetings provide a unique medium to perform an initial evaluation for home improvements without physically being inside the home. Additionally, it saves time, money, and gas! We have found photo sharing and idea books are becoming more useful than ever with apps like Houzz, Pinterest and Dropbox. An easy and virtual way to begin your remodel planning is to create a space to store inspiration photos, product information and idea lists, whether in a desktop file or an online Idea Book that can be shared with your remodeler. We are continuing to discover new apps each week to help our clients under the shelterin-place order. For instance, we just learned of a new

application called Bubbli that uses your camera phone to create dynamic 360-degree spherical images from your photos. Magicplan allows one to create floor plans with a mobile device. These plans can be used for preliminary cost estimation and 3D models of existing spaces. There are many different opinions about how and when consumers should “open-up� their homes to non-family members. We are finding there are options to meet most needs. At some point, home improvement professionals will need to access the interior spaces in order to evaluate, confirm measurements and perform work in the home. However, much of the early planning phases of a remodel can be done remotely. Initial and on-going virtual meetings, combined with proper social distancing practices, is an evolving and innovative path for the home improvement industry. Design, build and enjoy!

From the
Ground Up Plan for your home remodel now BY PENNY LORAIN Special to The Enterprise Are your home’s shortcomings driving you crazy now that you’ve been spending 24 hours a day there? If a remodel is on your wish list, now is actually the perfect time to safely plan your remodel, with minimal contact with others — before you hire a contractor — so it will turn out the way you want it. Whether you are hiring a designer with remodel planning experience or going it alone, thoughtfully and thoroughly planning your remodel before diving headlong into the building process will save you time and money in the long haul. Smart remodel designers are offering “virtual” design consultations and scheduling socially distant measuring appointments to protect everyone, so make some inquiries about your designer’s safety practices if you’d like professional assistance. Most Davis homeowners are remodeling for one or both of the following reasons: ■ Your cabinetry, countertops, tile, flooring or appliances are wearing out or looking painfully out of date. ■ Your needs have changed with kids having left home or with new family additions added. In either situation, it takes time and knowledge to evaluate the best layout options and materials. It’s

important to consider your current lifestyle and the changes you might anticipate in the future if you plan to stay in your home for many years to come. While design professionals attend trade shows and receive emails detailing the latest and greatest material options for remodeling — if you’re planning the project yourself — you also will also need to do some research about current surface material options on the market for flooring, cabinetry, tile, lighting, appliances and plumbing fixtures, as well as the pros and cons of each. Next, you will need a set of plans to communicate your ideas to potential contractors and the city building department. It’s important to have accurate measurements and consider not only the
Before (above) and after photos display the result of a kitchen upgrade. Eliminating the tile and grout countertops was a must. Next, replacing the tract home oak cabinets with taupe-painted custom cabinets with lighted glass doors at the ceiling updated the kitchen significantly. Enlarging the cooktop, adding double ovens and smoothing out the height change at the island making one larger island counter were fabulous upgrades for a family that thoroughly enjoys cooking and entertaining. The homeowner’s favorite kitchen features include an organized knife drawer, left, eliminating butcher-block knife storage on the counter.
floorplan changes, but structural, plumbing and electrical modifications as well. Interior elevations or perspective drawings can also be helpful for kitchens and bathrooms, so you can communicate elements you can’t see in a floor plan. These might include the heights of upper cabinets, how much wall is to be tiled, an overhead vanity light or sconce lights beside the vanity mirror, the height of a new window above the sink or a
free-standing tub. If you’re considering updating your fireplace face, you’ll want an elevation to communicate the dimensions of the fireplace surround, what area is to be tiled, the mantel height and any plans for a TV above the fireplace. To start your remodel planning, write a list of what you enjoy and what annoys you about your current kitchen, master bathroom, family room or home office. Consider how long you plan to stay in
your current home and what kind of investment you’re willing to make on improvements. Empower yourself with some professional assistance or spend some significant time planning, so you’ll be
confident you can turn your home into the sanctuary you deserve. — Penny Lorain is the owner of Lorain Design Associates located at 527 G St. in Davis. Contact her at 530-760-6625.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE — SUNDAY, MAY 17, 2020
Davis golf courses provide a silver lining BY EVAN REAM Enterprise staff writer After a month of inactivity — still with the end of the pandemic nowhere near in sight — all three Davis golf courses were given the green light to reopen April 20. While it’s still early, business seems to be booming for each. All three have taken extra measures in order to ensure the safety of each of their customers. And the spring having sprung and the shelter-inplace edicts wearing thin on folks everywhere, having an outdoor adventure like golf — even if it’s amended — has been locally welcomed. Importantly, as well, none report permanent financial damage due to being void of paying customers during this time. While golf courses in Sacramento County were allowed to stay open following the governor’s stayinside decree, nine weeks ago the Davis Golf Course and Wildhorse
Dan Fortin lines up a putt at Wildhorse Golf Club. All Davis courses are open and seem to be recovering well after shutdown due to COVID-19.

Golf Course were forced to shut their doors via a Yolo County order just days after El Macero Country Club did so on its own. During the shutdown, each course was able to retain or rehire most of its staff, while also being able to work on projects that they wouldn’t normally have
been able to. “In some ways it really helped ... we had a skeleton crew and they did a fantastic job taking care of the course,” said Davis Golf Course Director of Golf Mark Hansen. “We were able to do some projects that we haven’t had the time to do. But it’s hard to do stuff when you don’t
have any income.” Over at Wildhorse it was more of the same ... “We really tried to make good use of that time, we aerated all the greens, we aerated our driving range deck, we did some irrigation projects that would have been hard to do if we had players,” said facility owner Chuck Klein. “Our guys really did an excellent job, even (general manager Charlie Klein) was out there every day doing cutting because we just didn’t have the staff, but most everybody has come back.” Meanwhile El Macero Country Club was able to continue with the upkeep of the course while providing valuable services to their members and community by offering both food orders and grocery orders (in addition to turning the course into tournament-style condition). “For this time of year, it’s in one of the best condition I’ve ever seen,” said EMCC General Manager
Rusty Seymour. “It’s been six weeks without any cart or foot traffic, or any divots. It was in great condition and it only got better as the weather got hotter. I’ve had many members saying it was the best condition it’s ever been in and some of these are 20- or 25-year members.” Initially, when the pandemic hit, some worried about the long-term sustainability of the courses. All three courses report that those fears have been mostly assuaged with people coming out in droves to play their favorite links in Davis again. “We’re actually making up some good headway with being as busy as we are,” Klein said. “We were able to get through this, I think we’re going to be a little better for it ... we’re going to be a better course going forward.” All three courses offer food options in a safe manner, mostly from a pickup standpoint, with no one allowed to enter the restaurant buildings.
Soccer returns to DE Sports A tad bit of this, a Germany. Sort of. grows web Giant bag of that
P
eople always say that you don’t know how much you miss something until it’s taken away ... I took soccer for granted until two months ago when everything stopped. I wasn’t waking up each morning to watch the Bundesliga, EPL or La Liga, even though I have every subscription service that you can imagine. However, Friday night I couldn’t sleep like my 12-yearold self on Christmas Eve in anticipation of the return of actual, live soccer. I’m not really sure when the last time was I voluntarily woke up at 6:30 a.m., but I did Saturday as the German Bundesliga returned with the marquee matchup of its biggest rivalry, Borussia Dortmund versus Schalke 04. Just five months ago, I watched the home side draw 3-3 with RB Leipzig alongside more than 80,000 people. Saturday’s fan attendance: zero. Germany has taken extreme precaution with social distancing — issuing personalprotection equipment (PPE) and several new league rules in order to resume what was once the best-attended soccer leagues in the world. And what a start we got, with both teams coming straight out of the gate at breakneck pace. The first 30 minutes looked like a movie stuck in fastforward. My non-sports fan roommate asked if this pace was normal. I told him that I honestly didn’t know because it had been so long since I’d seen a match. Still, despite the world-class soccer, everything seemed off due to the empty stadium. When these German players yelled, because of how big the stadium is, the noise echoed like Charlie Brown talking into his Christmas card-less mailbox (that one’s for you, Mom). Furthermore, one of the world’s most intense rivalries

didn’t even register a yellow card until the second half. I don’t know if it was because the players were tired from of a lack of game fitness, but the personal confrontations — without the fans — seemed turned down a notch or two. Don’t get me wrong, the fans shouldn’t be there — not yet. The Bundesliga put rules in place to dock points from teams if supporters even tried to show up outside the stadium. However, soccer without fans isn’t really soccer. When Dortmund’s Erling Braut Håland scored the eventual game-winner in the 29th minute, there were no screaming, yellow-clad diehards for him to exult in front of. In fact, he couldn’t really even celebrate with his teammates after a mandate from the league stated that players were not to embrace after goals. Instead, Håland and a few teammates sort of just danced with blank faces, 6 feet apart. It was awkward. Dortmund easily won 4-0, defeating its greatest rival to move within one point of the evil empire that is Bayern Munich — though by the time you’re reading this, that may have changed as the Bavarians play early today. I hate to write this, but it wasn’t the soccer we deserve. But it was the soccer we needed. I’m just happy that it’s back even if the cynical part of me thinks that Germany will shut this all down in two weeks. — Evan Ream’s column publishes Sundays. Reach him at eream@davisenterprise.net.

We know you’ve noticed a tightening of the number of pages in our Sports section during the past two weeks. A couple of elements have weighed on the decision to cut back in-print space — obviously the cancellation of sporting events from Little League to the NBA has turned an ocean of coverage possibilities into a desert, served only by occasional oases of relevance. And with the business community impacted by COVID-19, advertising revenue is being challenged. But Davis is blessed.With UC Davis and Davis High in our community, our locals are lucky enough to have enough sports, personalities and curiosities of interest to ensure our athletic well never runs dry. In keeping with our tradition of providing the best Aggie and Blue Devil coverage anywhere — and keeping an eye on everything else that matters in the Davis sporting world — The Enterprise will start an online sports “section” for Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. We’ll have a daily blog by Sports Editor Bruce Gallaudet, crisp perspective in the form of periodic commentary from staffers Owen Yancher, Kim Orendor, Lev Farris Goldenberg and Evan Ream. Lively columns by Doug Kelly and Gallaudet and features galore. Look for roundups from UCD and announcements about everything from fundraisers to summer camps and fun recreation options. At least three sports entries a day will be available to our subscribers on the off days of publication. Our readers will still get the colorful, informative Davis Enterprise print edition, but if you’re a sports fan you’ll be relieved to know there will be daily information available online, beginning with Monday’s DE Morning Edition. Hang in there sports fans. Even if the balls aren’t flying, there’s plenty to write talk and write about.

obody asked me, but ... ■ The greatest sporting event in American history was — and always will be — the USA Miracle On Ice 4-3 hockey victory over the Soviets. It took place a little over 40 years ago in Lake Placid, N.Y. at the 1980 Winter Olympics. Captain Mike Eruzione scored the winning goal but after he led a Gold Medal victory in the next game versus the Czechs, he never played another game. ■ Regarding UC Davis’ own Jake Maier’s signing by the Calgary Stampeders, another pretty fair quarterback once played for the Stamps; a guy by the name of Doug Flutie. And while we’re in Calgary, the Stamps QB room includes two former Big Sky players, Eastern Washington’s Bo Levi Mitchell and Montana State’s Dakota Prukop, who finished his college career at Oregon. ■ During the pandemic, players of all sizes, shapes and bank accounts do what they can to stay in shape. Coaches social distance themselves in film rooms. But how about officials? Fox television rules analyst — and Sacramento resident — Mike Pereira last worked on the field in 1997, leading to his longtime administrative role as NFL vice president of officiating prior to the last decade with Fox. Right now, he’s helping local high school officials and coaches, in conjunction with Capital Valley Conference commissioner Al Hooker, doing Zoom tutorials on all phases of officiating. ■ Two giants in their fields: Willie Mays, the greatest player of his time, turned 89 on May 6. Joining him, Bob Seger, 75, the legendary rocker and leader of the Silver Bullet Band. Mays did almost everything a player could do on a ball field, save for one ... In a career that spanned 195173, he never hit for the cycle. Mays hit 646 of his career 660 home runs for the New York/ San Francisco Giants. Mix in

140 career triples and 523 doubles and about 2,000 it’s hard to fathom that he didn’t stick one of each in the same game. ■ Mays tripled off Whitey Ford in the first inning of the 1959 All-Star Game, leading to a 5-4 National League win. Observed longtime Giants writer Bob Stevens in the next day’s paper: “The only man who could have caught the ball, hit it.” ■ Mays and longtime Bay Area/S.F. Chronicle baseball journalist John Shea have collaborated on “24: Life Stories and Lessons from the Say Hey Kid.” Check it out. I’m guessing you have time now. ■ Speaking of shelter in place, here’s an update from former UC Davis infielder and current Chicago Cub Daniel Descalso: “We stayed down in Arizona once they postponed the season. A teammate set up a weight room in his garage and we train there. I’ve been able to hit and throw but in a limited capacity. Other than that, lots of hanging out with the kids and some bikes, hikes and pool days now that it’s getting hot. Trying to take advantage of this extra time I get to spend with the family.” Descalso played five years for St. Louis (2010-14), two in Arizona (2015-16), two in Colorado (2017-18) and will began his second season in Chicago when (if?) MLB resumes. — Doug Kelly is director of communications for Battlefields2Ballfields and Kelly & Associates. Kelly also is the longtime radio and television color man on UC Davis football broadcasts.
