Entering the next stage Haircuts, religious services on tap BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Davis residents will be able to get a haircut, go out to dinner, do a little retail shopping and attend church services in just a matter of days. But they’ll do all of it with face masks on while following guidelines aimed at limiting the spread of the novel coronavirus. All Yolo County restaurants will be able to open for dine-in service and nonessential retail stores for indoor shopping beginning Wednesday, county officials have announced. They will be followed on Thursday by hair salons and barbershops reopening to clients. Meanwhile, places of worship will be able to open their doors

Paula Wagner, a nurse practitioner at the UC Davis Medical Center, returned to California on May 18 after volunteering for two weeks at Coney Island Hospital in Brooklyn, N.Y. As the number of COVID-19 patients hospitalized in the Sacramento area remained low, Wagner was one of a number of UC Davis health care workers who used vacation time or took leave to volunteer in New York hospitals. While the infection rate has slowed in New York, Wagner described a severely stressed health care system in the city that has been the COVID19 epicenter in the United States. More than 16,000 people have died of COVID-19 in New York. Like other staff at Coney Island Hospital, Wagner worked 12-hour shifts, walking 2 miles to and from her hotel each day. After two weeks, the dedication of the nurses and physicians working alongside her left a strong impression on Wagner. “The locals working in the EDs there from the start are superhuman,” Wagner said. “At the peak, people there worked 20-30 days straight. They still work 12-hour days and almost every day.” Even though Wagner was not in New York during its peak of COVID19 hospitalizations, the Coney Island Hospital had a constant stream of patients while she was there. “My team saw 16 people my first day. There were still patients coming in on ambulances requiring intubation

UC announces suspension of fall study-abroad programs Enterprise staff writer The University of California Education Abroad Program has suspended all study abroad programs for fall 2020 due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, UCEAP informed students in an email Tuesday. Last year, more than 6,000 UC students studied abroad through UCEAP programs in over 40 countries. According to the email sent to students, UCEAP took several factors into

beginning Friday. All will be required to follow guidelines set out by the state related to physical distancing and hygiene. That will mean fewer tables available to diners in restaurants and fewer customers allowed inside a store at any time. Salons will be limited to services where both the employee and client can wear face masks and churches and other places of worship will have to limit attendance to 25 percent of a building’s capacity or 100 people — whichever is less. The county health order requiring residents to wear face coverings when in public will continue. All of those changes to the

consideration — including logistical and public-health concerns — before determining that their programming could not take place in the fall. “At UCEAP, we seek signs of normalcy by way of borders reopening and travel advisories being reduced to lower levels,” the email stated. “Additionally, we also consider the likelihood of a second wave of COVID-19 and how well universities abroad will be prepared to support exchange students this fall.” “These uncertainties have led UCEAP to

make the difficult yet responsible decision not to move forward with fall 2020 programming. All fall programs, regardless of the location, have been suspended this year and will not run, even if conditions related to COVID-19 improve,” the email stated.

Sheltering in place shifts local political activism online Special to The Enterprise In early March, two local political-action organizations jointly hosted a rousing kickoff rally and celebrated the festive grand opening of their brand new joint Volunteer Center on Olive Drive. Days later, they were reading through emergency stay-at-home guidelines from the Yolo County Health Department and putting revised signs on the door that effectively shut down their newly opened center and suspended all of their planned activities, due to the global pandemic. Kelly Wilkerson of Sister District CA-3 and Rachel Beck of Indivisible Yolo gathered their leadership teams and began to quickly regroup. Dozens of volunteers scrubbed

long-made plans for events and activities that would take them through the November 2020 election and began to strategize options for alternative ways of getting the work done. “For three years, we’ve worked hard to recruit and activate hundreds of volunteers in our community who are distressed about the direction our country has gone since the 2016 election and are motivated to do whatever it takes to bring about a change in 2020,” said Beck. Added Wilkerson, “We’ve bussed and carpooled to districts all over the West for canvassing. We’ve registered hundreds of voters. We’ve met in homes and cafes all over town and written thousands of postcards. We’ve

We were ready to ensure a Blue Wave of change in 2020.” And then the novel coronavirus hit. State and county guidelines restricted in-person activities, meetings and events.

Brothers offer Quiz Bowl camp Davis High School senior Benjamin Skinner, and his brother, Ethan Skinner are holding an online quiz bowl camp for incoming middle school students (grades 6-9). There are two camp sessions, each one week long. Morning sessions are for those new to quiz bowl and afternoon sessions are for more experienced students. The camps will be held from June 22 to June 26 and June 29 to July 3, and are priced at $175 per week. Quiz bowl is a team competition that tests participants knowledge in areas including history, science, and the humanities. Contestants answer tossup questions individually by buzzing in using a signaling device (in this case their computer) before answering multi-part bonus questions as a team, rewarding collaboration and problem-solving.

This week’s warm-weather streak brought with it multiple vegetation fires, several of which the Davis, UC Davis and Woodland fire departments battled along southbound Highway 113 during a two-hour period Sunday evening. The largest was the one photographed here, burning two acres of grass near County Road 29, though no property was damaged or injuries reported. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Davis High Madrigals sing in memory of soldiers Special to The Enterprise While they were unable to perform in the cemetery for the annual Memorial Day ceremony Monday morning, the Madrigal Singers produced a virtual rendition of “America the Beautiful” in memory of fallen soldiers and in honor of their families. Watch the performance at https://youtu.be/FiG ZSLRf_nY. Soloist were senior Bela Acosta, and juniors Owen Ross-Majeske and Emily Chapman. The mixing

artist was senior Zoe Poppenga. The Madrigal Choir, as always, is under the direction of Karen Gardias, who refuses to let the pandemic dampen spirits or quiet these talented students’ voices.

Davis police are seeking the public’s help in identifying a suspect caught on video burglarizing a local business last week. Posted to the Police Department’s Facebook page on Tuesday, the video shows the unidentified male using a tool to break into the business in the 200 block of E Street at about 2:15 a.m. Monday, May 18. See the video at https:// www.facebook.com/ CityofDavisPolice Department/videos/ 289118272480494. “The suspect is associ-

ated with a bicycle which can be seen on the left side of the screen. It appears to be a beach cruiser-style bicycle with a wire basket on the rear and possibly a cowboy hat on the seat,” the Facebook post says. Video also shows the suspect holding what appears to be a walkietalkie and small flashlight in his left hand, and that he has a ring on his left ring finger. Anyone with information about this person’s identity is urged to contact Corporal Pheng Ly at ply@cityofdavis.org or 530-979-4568.

Davis teacher runs for Los Rios district board Special to The Enterprise Kelly Wilkerson, a teacher at Davis Senior High School, has joined the Nov. 3 race for a seat on the seven-member Los Rios Community College District Board of Trustees. “In this time of profound economic and educational disruption, I want to serve our community in a new way,” said Wilkerson, who is running for trustee for Service Area 4 representing Davis, West Sacramento and portions of South Sacramento County. “I’m a teacher, not a politician. I will put the needs of our students and our communities first.” Los Rios, the second-largest community college district in the state, will be at the center of the region’s recovery in the years to come, Wilkerson noted. The district includes four colleges and six

education centers serving about 75,000 students. “I’ve known Kelly Wilkerson since our kids were in school together 20 years ago,” said WILKERSON Mariko Yamada, Joins board retired California race state assemblymember. “As a parent, educator and activist, she brings a 360-degree real-world view to everything she does. She’s the strong, steady leader we need in these challenging times. I’m proud to support her for the Los Rios College Board.” Wilkerson said she wants to be a careful steward of Los Rios district dollars in a time of expected state budget cuts. “I will fight for funding for classroom and counseling, always

putting students above milliondollar consulting contracts and pricey new initiatives,” she said. Wilkerson teaches both English and career tech classes at Davis Senior High School. “As a teacher I have steered hundreds of students to Los Rios campuses. Our community colleges must welcome and support everyone: the college-bound, mid-life career changers, veterans, undocumented neighbors, and learners who need academic or mental health support,” she said. Her 16 years as a teacher has taught her to listen to educators, she noted. “Los Rios faculty and staff already prioritize excellence, equity and empathy,” she said. “They are experts in everything from online education to closing the opportunity gap. We need to

“As a parent, educator and activist, she brings a 360-degree real-world view to everything she does.” Mariko Yamada Retired assemblymember hear and heed their voices.” Before teaching in the Davis Joint Unified School District, she spent 10 years working for three community college faculty organizations. Melissa Moreno, trustee of the Yolo County Board of Education

and an ethnic studies educator, is supporting Wilkerson. “Kelly is an educational leader,” said Moreno. “She will be a fearless advocate for all students in the California Community College system, starting by representing us in the Los Rios District.” The Los Rios district’s Service Area 4 is unique in that it includes three centers and one community college campus: Cosumnes River Community College, CRC Elk Grove Center, SCC West Sacramento Center, and SCC Davis Center. The Davis Center is the only community college center on a University of California campus in California.

Davis Kids Klub open for camp, Trokanski Dance Workshop hopeful BY LEV FARRIS GOLDENBERG Enterprise writer The pickings are slim for families browsing local summer camps, as both UC Davis and the city canceled or postponed camps through at least July 5. But at least one is still operating — Davis Kids Klub, which promises a safe, fun, personalized experience for students in kindergarten through sixth grade at affordable prices. “Distance Learning Camp,” as Kids Klub calls it, is open for registration, with the first session running through June 12, and the second from June 15 to Aug. 14. A full day runs from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m, Monday through Friday. “We would love to get the word out that we’re here for everybody,” said executive director Lynda Yancher. “And especially this summer, if those camps aren’t happening and parents need to work, we will keep their students busy.” The camp provides students with Chromebooks, and students work on school assignments in the mornings, with math, art and language activities, as well as outdoor play in the afternoons. Free lunches and snacks also are provided to any students upon parent request. Kids Klub formed in 2003 as an alternative to private, licensed daycare facilities. In partnership with DJUSD, their goal is to offer affordable daycare to every family. While the camp normally operates at all Davis elementary schools as an after-school program during the year, it stepped in as an option during the

pandemic for parents who need to go into work. At the moment, Kids Klub serves about a dozen students, but Yancher says they expect that number to quadruple over the next month. “We actually will work with every family, and we will not turn away anybody to attend our camps for the summer,” Yancher said. The camp partners with the Children’s Home Society of California — a program out of Yuba City — to provide grant money for essential workers. Even if a family does not qualify for CHS, Kids Klub will work with them should they need financial assistance. A week of camp costs $229, a single day costs $50, and a halfday (8 a.m. to 1 p.m.) is $35. Working with the Yolo County Health Department, the nonprofit organization is following safety guidelines in order to keep students and families safe. Those precautions involve: ■ Staff trained in COVID-safe practices ■ Students seated at desks at least six feet apart ■ Teachers and students wearing masks ■ Staff dedicated to regular cleaning of tabletops and bathrooms ■ Cleaning of playgrounds before and after use ■ Multiple classrooms to work out of so students are spread out. In addition to meeting safety standards, Kids Klub also is committed to personalizing each camper’s experience. Yancher talks with parents to find out students’ likes, discuss school assignments

and help them connect with teachers. “I think that’s something that is maybe special to our program,” she said. “We’ll meet their needs and do the best we can to bring their school skills back up before school starts in the fall.” The district also provides a teacher on assignment, Trista Pandeleos, a 19-year DJUSD veteran, to guide camp. Due to shelter-in-place restrictions, the summer session may look different. Usual Kids Klub haunts like the Davis Public Library, UCD Memorial Union, Bohart Museum of Entomology and YoloBerry Yogurt are unavailable.

Pamela Trokanski Dance Workshop We are planning for six exciting weeks of camps, beginning June 15-July 24, with a wide variety of activities in dance, adventures in multiple art forms, academic enrichment through movement and the arts, and more. Importantly, for everyone’s safety, we will have updated protocols in place including a daily temperature check for both staff and students with our new infrared thermometer, an outdoor hand-washing station, requiring masks on participants and teachers, and a limit of 10 children per teacher. Campers and their families will receive updated information regarding our safety protocols, before registration, to make sure that we are all on the same page and that everyone is able and willing to comply with the rules for participation. We want to be really clear that we will be very strict about the rules because we want to keep everyone as safe as we can!

“Those are kind of our go-to’s in the summer,” Yancher added. “(It) is undecided on whether we can actually do any of those activities, but if there is a way we will find it.” Questions can be directed to office@daviskidsklub.com or 530-220-4731, and families can register at daviskidsklub.com, though spaces are limited.

intends to run summer programming. “We are planning for six exciting weeks of camps, beginning June 15, with a wide variety of activities in dance, adventures in multiple art forms, academic enrichment through movement and the arts, and more,” Trokanski told The Enterprise. To protect campers and instructors, the organization will implement safety protocols in accordance with COVID safety guidelines. Those precautions include: ■ Daily temperature check for both staff and students with a new infrared thermometer ■ Outdoor hand-washing station ■ Masks on students and teachers (required) ■ A limit of 10 children per teacher. Added Trokanski, “We want to be really clear that we will be very strict about the rules because we want to keep everyone as safe as we can!” Consisting of six weeks from June 15 to July 24, summer dance camps offer a range of programs, such as Afro-American, ballet and modern focus. Most camps are for children ages 6 through 12, while the Adventures in the Arts camp (June 29 to July 3) is for 5- to 8-year-olds.

COMMENTARY Congress must fund more relief BY MAURICE OBSTFELD AND LAURA D’ANDREA TYSON Special to CalMatters

ust a month prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. and California were reporting historic low unemployment rates of 3.5% and 3.9% respectively. With historically low interest rates, low inflation and stable financial markets, most forecasters predicted that output and employment growth would continue through 2020-21. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Januaryforecastalso assumed continued growth and projected a state budget surplus for 2020-21. In just a few weeks, the economic outlooks for the U.S. and California dramatically deteriorated. All major sectors of the economy plunged into a slowdown. At least one in five are out of work, with job losses falling disproportionately on lower-income workers. According to the governor’s most recent forecast for California, total personal income will fall by 8.9% in 2020 and won’t return to 2019 levels until 2023. The unemployment rate will remain at doubledigit levels through 2023, with the highest rates among the most vulnerable lowerincome workers with few financial resources. Unlike the federal government, state and local governments are constrained by balanced-budget laws. Without additional federal funds, states and local governments will have to raise taxes or implement deep spending cuts. There are no other options, and both will exacerbate the recession. Moreover, spending cuts will overwhelmingly fall on essential services where states spend most of their revenues, including public education, public safety and public health. nder current conditions, the macroeconomic rationale for significant additional federal funding for state governments is compelling. If plummeting revenues force states to slam on their fiscal brakes, that will undermine the federal government’s own countercyclical measures, resulting in a deeper recession, more unemployment and a slower recovery for the entire nation. The lessons of the Great Recession confirm these alarming predictions. Between 2008 and 2014, state government revenues fell $600 billion, but states received only $150 billion in federal aid. States had to draw down their accumulated reserves, increase taxes and cut “discretionary” spending. These austerity measures were a significant drag on growth, and had an estimated negative multiplier effect of 1.7 — each $1 reduction in spending led to a $1.70 loss of economic activity. Worse, austerity had long-lasting effects. Inflation-adjusted state spending and state and local payrolls did not return to pre-recession highs until 2019, just before COVID-19 arrived. Scarred by this trauma, most states have built up their reserves, which reached alltime highs in many states at the start of the 2020 fiscalyear. On the eve of the pandemic, California’s budgetary situation was robust, with historic revenues, record reserves including a $16 billion rainy-day fund, and a projected budget surplus of $5.6 billion. Now, due to plummeting revenues and increased pandemic costs, the state faces an estimated budget gap of $54.3 billion — nearly 37% of the state’s general fund. Investors around the world are willing to make long-term loans to the federal government at very low interest rates. The Federal Reserve is committed to unlimited purchases of U.S. securities and Fed chair Jerome Powell has warned of deep and lasting economic consequences without more fiscal support. Under current and foreseeable economic conditions, the federal government can and should fund another major economic relief package and include at least $1 trillion in flexible funding for state and local governments. — Maurice Obstfeld is a member of the Governor’s Council of Economic Advisers, and Class of 1958 Professor of Economics at UC Berkeley,obstfeld@berkeley.edu.

Why should Biden choose Harris?

or months, California’s Democratic U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris has campaigned hard to convince presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joseph Biden he should make her his vice presidential running mate. The ever-ambitious, wellspoken and fast-on-her-feet Harris fits into many categories Biden openly seeks to match: She’s black, female and could appeal to foreignborn voters as the daughter of an immigrant. She would likely overwhelm the evermeek current Vice President Mike Pence if and when they debate. In case of a loss, she would hold onto her seat in the Senate. But many political analysts believe that’s as far as it goes. For Harris also has political downsides. For one thing, she won’t get Biden many votes or states he would not otherwise win. He has California’s 55 electoral votes in the bag before the campaign really starts, holding a 30-point lead over President Trump in the latest polling. And he already dominates among African American voters. Harris sandbagged Biden in the first Democratic debate last year, unexpectedly scorching him for being soft 40 years ago on school busing for desegregation. Her surprise attack derailed

Biden’s early momentum, which took more than six months to recover. In her only seriously contested statewide California race, Harris won by the narrowest margin of any major officeholder here in decades. While still serving as San Francisco’s district attorney in 2010, she barely beat Republican Steve Cooley, then the top Los Angeles prosecutor, in their run for state attorney general — during a Democratic California sweep. Harris won by less than 1 percent (74,000 votes out of 9.6 million cast), the outcome in question until a month after the vote. This despite several political blunders by Cooley, who insisted that if elected, he would collect his six-figure Los Angeles County pension while drawing another sixfigure salary as attorney general. On the face of it, Harris might have some appeal to progressive, Bernie Sandersstyle Democrats. But that lasts only until they look at

her record. While a district attorney, Harris backed a proposed law enabling prosecution of parents whose kids were habitually truant from school. This could have disproportionally affected people of color and the poor. As attorney general, she appealed when a federal judge in Orange County ruled the death penalty unconstitutional in 2014. And a federal appeals court found her office willfully hid exculpatory evidence in the case of a stepfather accused of abusing his stepdaughter. As a result, the stepfather remained in prison long after Harris moved on to the Senate, despite evidence his stepdaughter repeatedly lied. rump and Pence would likely not attack Harris for much of this, but would certainly highlight her very close past association with former San Francisco Mayor and state Assembly Speaker Willie Brown. Then there’s the question of whether Biden could trust Harris after her debate surprise attack. Yet other vice presidents have been chosen despite previous attacks on their future bosses or their close associates: George H.W. Bush famously called some Ronald Reagan proposals “voodoo economics” and Robert F. Kennedy despised

Lyndon Johnson, yet Bush and Johnson became vice presidents and later presidents. Even Biden at one timedisparaged Barack Obama. Biden, aware he can seem hesitant and even occasionally confused, has pledged to run with a woman, but must choose one widely consideredready to step into the Oval Office on short notice. “The advantage of Harris is that she might be seen as very independent and outspoken in her own right, which could be a plus with a candidate or a president like Biden,” said Arnold Steinberg, a former Republican consultant who recently has advised ballot proposition campaigns. “She might upstage Biden at times, but her persona and most of her record are solid.” The real question is whether Biden — and later the great mass of American voters — will consider Harris as prepared to be president as senators like Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts or Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. It’s Biden’s decision and it will come soon, but Californians can be sure of one thing: Whether or not Harris gets the nod, she has a long career ahead, in California and maybe nationally. —Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

LETTERS Thank you, City Council At its May 19, 2020 meeting, our City Council unanimously passed a resolution supporting the United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear weapons, renouncing the option of using nuclear weapons first, and urging agreements among nuclear-armed states to eliminate their nuclear arsenals. They have thereby joined the California State Legislature, the City of Los Angeles, and many other individuals, groups and jurisdictions in urging an end to the deadly nuclear arms race. The Davis Committee Against Nuclear Weapons has expressed its thanks to the council, and will be posting the resolution on its website https://www. facebook.com/DavisNoNukes/). We ask everyone to read the resolution, and use the upcoming elections to convince candidates to take similar steps, once elected, to join our City Council in moving the world away from the threat of nuclear war. The more elected bodies that pass such resolutions, the closer we will get to our federal government signing on to the United Nations treaty. This vision will remain a dream until the vast majority of Americans make it clear that we want the billions of dollars now spent on the development and stockpiling of nuclear weapons to be

As our local public health officials face tremendous pressure from organizations, businesses, and individuals to reopen prematurely, we underscore our confidence in their leadership, and our commitment to staying at home, wearing face coverings, and engaging in essential social distancing for as long as it takes to protect the people in our care.

NURSE: Sacramento seems calmer now

Briefly Real estate and the pandemic Steve Boschken, a Davis real estate and mortgage broker, returns to the KDRT public affairs program “Davisville” this week to talk about the effects so far of the COVID-19 pandemic on Davis housing and rents. The subjects include lease renewals among students, the uncertainty of in-person classes at UC Davis this fall, where Davis housing stood before the pandemic hit, prices, sales, unemployment, and how Davis conditions differ from other parts of the region. “Davisville,” hosted by Bill Buchanan, is broadcast on KDRTLP, 95.7 FM Mondays at 5:30 p.m., Wednesdays at 8:30 a.m., and Saturdays at 8:30 a.m. The housing program began airing Monday, will be broadcast through June 6, and is available online anytime athttp://kdrt.org/ davisvilleor on Apple podcasts.

Learn about housing update A Zoom forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters Davis today will explain the process for updating the city of Davis housing element and some of the issues under discussion. A housing element analyzes community housing needs for residents of all income levels and provides strategies to meet those needs. It is a key part of the city’s general plan. The last time Davis did this was in 2013 and a significant amount of new legislation has changed many of the rules. Davis — and other local jurisdictions — must submit a new community-housing element for state approval by next May. This forum follows a League of Women Voters event in November, when author Richard Rothstein discussed discriminatory housing policies detailed in his bestseller, “The Color of Law.” The forum will take place from 6 to 7:30 p.m. today. Visit https:// www.eventbrite.com/e/ the-housing-elementwhat-is-it-and-howdoes-it-affect-ustickets-99038363411 to make a reservation and receive a Zoom link.

How COVID-19 affects nonprofits NAPA — State Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, will co-host a virtual town hall at 2 p.m. Thursday, May 28, about the impact of the coronavirus on North Bay nonprofit organizations and services available to assist them during the pandemic. The town hall is cohosted by the California Association of Nonprofits and special guest, Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Napa. They will be joined by a panel of experts, including Terence Mulligan, president of the Napa Valley Community Foundation; Jenny Ocon, executive director of UpValley Family Centers; Jan Masaoka, chief executive officer, CalNonprofits; and Lucy Salcido Carter, public policy director, CalNonprofits.

Salon owner Jerry Paiz works on Lee Pflugrath (owner of Yoloberry) at the Style Lounge in downtown Davis on Tuesday. Hair salons in Yolo County will be able to officially reopen later this week.

STAGE: Changes upon changes From Page A1 The changes come as the county has seen an uptick in confirmed coronavirus cases — 12 in the last few days, bringing to 200 the county’s total. But the county remains well within the public health benchmarks set by the state for reopening businesses. Supervisors had been expected to support reopening restaurants to dine-in service and retail to indoor shopping, both of which were released from the state’s health order last week and which resumed in Sacramento County already. Then, in the last two days, the state approved resumption of religious services and reopening of hair salons and barbershops for counties like Yolo that had been approved to move further into Stage 2 of reopening. Newsom’s announcement on hair salons came during Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting.

Timeline Under the timeline spelled out by County Administrator Patrick Blacklock, restaurants and nonessential retail in Yolo County would be cleared by the county to reopen Wednesday. For hair salons, “I think we need another day for that, so potentially Thursday,” Blacklock told supervisors. “And I think we want to spend a little more time working with the faith-based community so the target deadline might be Friday.” A press release issued by the county Tuesday evening confirmed those reopening dates. The decision to move forward with reopening additional segments of the local economy — closed for more than two months thanks to COVID-19 — came after county supervisors were assured by staff that current testing and contact tracing capacity is sufficient to deal with any

outbreaks that may come. “With what I’ve seen today,” said Supervisor Oscar Villegas of West Sacramento, “I think it’s perfectly appropriate that we move forward.” Going forward, the county will issue a new health order in the next couple of days maintaining the face-covering requirement and calling for the health officer to serve as a gatekeeper, reviewing the guidelines issued by the state each time a new activity is reopened and then giving the green light for reopening in the county.

Flatter curve Meanwhile, county supervisors on Tuesday praised Chapman for issuing his initial health order in March and Yolo County residents for adhering to that shelter in place for the past two months. The result, said Supervisor Jim Provenza of Davis, is far fewer cases of the novel coronavirus and deaths than would otherwise have occurred. “Instead of looking at close to 200 cases, we might be looking at close to 2,000,” Provenza said. “Instead of 22 deaths we might be looking at over 200 deaths because the increase of infection is exponential… Areas that didn’t act as fast as us suffered for it. So I don’t regret going forward as we did at all.” However, he added, “there are consequences from businesses closing, from people losing their jobs … we know about many collateral consequences in the community.” “In a way we’re threading a needle,” Provenza said. “We’re reopening and the state is pretty much calling the shots on what reopens when, but this… gives our health officer the ability to look at the state guidance, adopt it quickly, but then add those things that he feels are necessary… always including our face covering policy.”

“Even more important is the response of the public,” he added. “The most important thing is people understand this isn’t over and if we’re to avoid another increase, the possibility of additional breakouts or additional deaths, we need to be very, very careful.”

Not over yet Supervisor Don Saylor of Davis agreed. “We’re at a point where we can change direction a little bit from where we were,” he said. But “it’s not over. “We’re going to see more cases … This is not a ‘throwing down the face coverings and going out in the streets and celebrating,’” Saylor said. “We’re still dealing with a pandemic. The easiest thing in the world is to open up. The hardest thing in the world is to do it in a very careful way or not do it at all.” Over the next couple of days, the county will be working with businesses impacted by the changes to ensure they are able to follow the new guidelines for reopening. Restaurants and retail shops have had those guidelines in hand since last week, while salons and barbershops were just notified of their ability to reopen. Under the new guidelines released Tuesday, the only activities that will be allowed in hair salons and barbershops will be those that allow both the worker and customer to wear face coverings throughout the service, including haircuts, hair coloring, blowouts, weaves and hair relaxing treatments. Not allowed: shaving, facial waxing, threading and facials. Nail salons remain closed as well. —Reach Anne TernusBellamy ataternus@ davisenterprise.net. Follow her on Twitter at@ ATernusBellamy.

Bill to protect school funding clears committee Special to The Enterprise Legislation from State Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, that would prevent schools struggling with the coronavirus pandemic from incurring additional financial setbacks caused by wildfirerelated power shutoffs from PG&E and other utilities cleared a key committee on May 12. “Right now, the last thing our public schools need is to lose more funding and instructional time because of a public safety power shutoff,” Dodd said. “Educating our children is a top priority, and this muchneeded bill will help make schools whole if they are forced to endure another of PG&E’s power shutoffs.” California public school funding is based on average daily attendance, reported three times a year by school districts. Under current law, if schools are forced to

close because of a public safety power shut-off, such as those across the North Bay last year, they could lose part of their expected allocation. Senate Bill 884 changes that, explicitly authorizing the state to backfill average

daily attendance money. In addition, it authorizes districts to receive funding for makeup days offered at the end of the regular school year if power shutoffs or other disasters force significant closures during the year.

and central-line placement on a daily basis,” Wagner said. Due to the number of cases in New York, Wagner said the New Yorkers she encountered were extremely familiar with the virus. “They were very much aware of the symptoms and everyone knew someone who had COVID-19,” she said. “It’s a weird environment because everyone is masked and patients can’t really see you. You have to work hard to ease some of their fear.” Some of the patients Wagner saw had already recovered from COVID19 but had gone back to the hospital because lingering health issues related to the disease. “We also saw a lot of patients who had symptoms in April coming back with secondary symptoms,” she said. “We had just three or four patients the whole time I was there who came to the ED with nonrespiratory ailments.” According to Wagner, the New York nurses who cared for patients through the peak in April were reluctant to relive the harrowing experience. “In the break room or after a shift, a lot of people were resistant to even talking about their experience at the height of the curve,” Wagner said. “I think it was very stressful and very traumatic for them to see how fast patients got sick. The care teams would do so much intervention but patients wouldn’t improve. That’s hard to see.” Even after New York had been a focal point of the COVID-19 response for more than a month,

Wagner said there were shortages of medical and protective equipment at the Brooklyn hospital. “What was most surprising for me was the lack of essential equipment,” she said. “Things like caps for IVs, disposable tape measures, disinfectant wipes. We used wall hand-sanitizer and put it on paper towels. It was even difficult to find a pen.” The medical staff also lacked equipment they need to protect themselves from infection while working on the front line. “They were getting a new surgical mask every five to seven days. People were reusing N95s and face shields,” Wagner said. She traveled to New York with a suitcase of masks to donate, and said lots of the health care workers there asked where she was able to get them. “I was able to leave a lot of masks there, which is really a small drop of what they need,” Wagner said. After getting back to Sacramento, Wagner said it took some time to adjust to the relative calm. “I kept thinking, ‘Why is it so quiet?’” she said. “The environment there was so loud and busy. There were lights and alarms going off, people running from here to there, always something or somebody with immediate needs. When I got home, the stillness seemed so weird. For a couple nights, I dreamed I could hear monitors going off.” — Reach Caleb Hampton at champton@ davisenterprise.net. Follow him on Twitter at @calebmhampton.

STUDY: Host universities were already canceling programs From Page A1 abroad applications to spring or fall 2021. In April, UCEAP suspended all of its spring and summer 2020 programs due to public health concerns. Before Tuesday's announcement, which applies to all nine UC undergraduate campuses, 39 foreign host universities had already canceled

programs for the fall. “We understand the disappointment this news brings, especially given the amount of work you’ve done to prepare for your experience,” the email stated. “Please know this decision was not made lightly.” — Reach Caleb Hampton at champton @davisenterprise. net.

Since March, Audrey Pan’s postcard teams have sent 7,124 postcards to voters all over the country.

ACTIVISM: Still have work to do From Page A1 the creativity and motivation of all of our leadership teams,” said Wilkerson, adding, "We had to dive in and learn entirely new skills and figure out new ways to get the work done. And then teach those skills to our hundreds of volunteers.” Zoom became a fundamental part of how they operated. “Zoom is the core of our At-Home Activism strategy,” said Beck. “We use it to train people on a variety of phone banking and text banking platforms, for example. Then we gather our volunteers over Zoom and actually do the work.” Meghan Miller, a founding member of Sister District CA-3, said it wasn’t easy moving everybody into an online-only world. Volunteers like Miller and Indivisible Yolo organizer Emily Hill are accustomed to working with virtual platforms. “A lot of our volunteers are retired,” Hill said. “It’s a big ask for some to make the shift from in-person to online.” 2=Since March, Audrey Pan’s postcard teams have sent 7,124 postcards to voters all over the country. Courtesy photo Audrey Pan, who coordinates the postcard writing teams, said, “We had about a dozen groups who would gather together once a week to talk, share their feelings and write postcards to voters. A major draw for those gatherings was social. It’s hard to duplicate that online.” And yet, since March, Pan’s postcard teams have sent 7,124 postcards to voters all over the country. Linda Cloud, Chris Craig-Veit and Janette Vine, who coordinate the text banking teams, reported that their volunteers —

over a hundred currently active — have sent over 255,000 texts this year. “We used to meet at the Volunteer Center and train people in person, then they would go home and everyone would be plugged into their texting software sending texts by the hundreds,” Cloud said. "Now we still do that, but we train and gather via Zoom. It’s been challenging, but worth it. Everybody feels really accomplished and like they’re having a significant impact.” Steve Murphy, Tim Tutt and Katherine Holmes, who organize the phone bank efforts, said their groups have made 6,525 calls since March. “We offer four two-hour phone banking sessions a week,” said Tutt. “Each one has a steady team of folks who come back week after week and make calls using fairly sophisticated software. It seemed complicated at first, but virtually everyone has grown comfortable with the technique of making calls while in a Zoom meeting. It’s been a lot of fun.” Said Beck: “It’s a phenomenal effort. In the span of two months, we open a volunteer center, close a volunteer center, cancel a full calendar of events and then turn around and learn a whole new way of doing business. And churn out 7,124 postcards, 6,525 phone calls and over 255,000 texts. “As Margaret Mead said, ‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world: indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.’ ” For information about upcoming trainings and volunteer events visit www.sisterdistrictca3.org or www.indivisibleyolo.org and click on the calendar link.

Join Camp Peregrine for a summer in the garden Special to The Enterprise Kids can make potions like Harry Potter, use real indigo and batik to dye fabrics, write books or learn to cook straight from the garden through Camp Peregrine this summer. After a long spring at home, Camp Peregrine invites children to join oneweek summer camps in its one-acre garden. Camps will start June 15 and run through Aug. 7, in oneweek intervals. There will be small-group experiences that meet Stage 2 reopening safety requirements.

The spacious grounds will let everyone be outside most of the time and keep groups separate from each other. Camp Peregrine emphasizes in-depth enrichment in various subjects to suit individual children's interests. Topics feature science, outdoor education, and the arts, as well as robotics and programming. Camps are offered for 4to 5-year-olds, kindergarten through second graders, third to sixth graders, and ages 11 to 17. Visit peregrineschool.org for more information.

DUNNING: POOL: Center could bring in event money DHS ROUNDUP What might Football have been for sans fans prep athletes beats no games From Page A10

From Page A10 the university hospitals and research centers that we have in the Pac-12. In most cases, we feel that student-athletes will be in a safer position and a healthier position if they can have access to the world-class medical care, supervision and support they can get on their campuses if there are issues with the virus.” The virus, of course, is the big unknown. Nobody knows for sure what will happen to a team if one player — or a dozen — test positive for the virus once the season gets underway. Remember, one positive test in March on just one team halted the NBA season on the spot, causing the NHL, Major League Baseball and the NCAA basketball tournament to be scrubbed in the most rapid domino effect in sports history. Scott did admit there could be a vast discrepancy from one venue to another as to how many fans are allowed into the stadium. “I think what we’re going to see is a patchwork state-by-state on the fan issue,” Scott noted. “I think we’re going to see a wide disparity across the country. Some states will allow fans probably initially on some type of socially distanced basis and some states will be a bit more conservative and playing in front of empty stadia, which will be a bit surreal and challenging.” Given the longstanding belief that a large crowd distinctly helps the home team, it seems the height of unfairness to allow a crowd of 50,000 in one stadium and no crowd at all in another. Still, I’ll take that awkward scenario in a heartbeat in place of no football at all. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenter prise.net.

who coaches at DHS — concurred: “We have an opportunity now … to get a move on this aquatics center project. I know the city wants to work with us on it, but we need something that is student-centered — that puts the Davis High students first.” Wright credited Yancher, then a student at UC Davis, as “encouraging me to join him in being squeaky wheels” about the project. Wright first approached the district more than 10 years ago about a swimming pool on the DHS campus, but said it was Yancher’s new energy that further drove Wright’s passion. “And I think this will be huge for Davis High beyond athletics,” Wright continued. “We finally have an opportunity ... that physical education can have a swimming unit.” Tracy Stapleton, Devil boys water polo coach and former boys swim mentor, agreed: “Part of the larger issue, if you’re building a facility, you’re building something that’s part of the larger education program at our school. Athletics is one part. Physical education is the other.” Stapleton said swimming is important to mental and physical health. Getting high school students to understand that, be involved in using water to their benefit, is “all part of teaching kids a healthy lifestyle. (Having the pool) available is a great

option. That’s a huge factor.” Even without a regulation facility to call home, Davis High boys and girls swimming and water polo teams have won 60 team Sac-Joaquin Section titles — more than any other school. During those championship years, Blue Devil teams have had to practice at pools around the town (most recently commanding as many as six hours a day at Arroyo Pool). For postseason and important regular-season matches, DHS has frequently gone out of town to host contests that normally would have been in its own back yard. “No doubt there’s excitement,” Stapleton understated. “It’s definitely long overdue. I come into contact with colleagues all the time at various events and they cannot get over the fact that we do not have an aquatics facility at our school ... given the many accomplishments.” DHS Athletic Director Jeff Lorenson said the complex also should be a source of pride: “It’s going to be ... great to have our aquatics programs represented (potentially) in the heart of our campus. It brings even more spirit to campus, and I couldn’t be more excited about that. “We’d love to find a way to bring in some tournaments, invitationals to campus. They’d be huge fundraising opportunities. Maybe even housing some CIF events.” Stapleton said having regional, possibly statewide gatherings

Brooke Imamoto, like so many other prep studentathletes around the country, should still be playing. The Davis High catcher, who was hitting .500 for the resurgent Blue Devils (3-4) when the coronavirus pulled the plug on all things entertaining in the sports world, could have been playing in the 43rd annual Optimist High School All-Star Game today. But the Evening Optimist Club of Sacramento more than a month ago scratched the contest in the name of safety. Nonetheless, Imamoto — and the dozens of other area softballers who were named to the four large- and small-school allstar teams — took a bow online when the service club recently named their would-be squads.

Speaker series Davis High’s eight-part speaker series continues for Blue Devil student-athletes at djusd. net/athletics. Next up will be “The Mental Approach to Performance” (Dr. Paul Salisky) and “Sports Nutrition” (DHS baseball contributor Carina Bender-Abrams).

hosted by one of the West Coast’s top aquatics schools also is high on the agenda. “Delta League swim championships are at American River College because nobody has appropriate facilities,” Stapleton pointed out. “Look at Masters track being hosted at Ron & Mary Brown Stadium. Volleyball and basketball ... have their own tournaments. “Once we do (an event) successfully at our pool, lo and behold, more opportunities come for hosting events.” Yancher added, “To put it in the most personal way I can, my dad (Ross) was hired from the University of Denver in 1979. He was coaching swimming and water polo there and was hired to become the coach at Davis Aquatic Masters. “He told me before he passed away a couple of years ago that (Davis folks) had a site at Community Pool — this is 1979 — and there were talks in the works with the city to expand Community to a 50-meter facility. “And they have done nothing since.” Yancher continued, “I have to thank the community for their support of the students and the student-athletes (in passage of Measure M).

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE — WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 2020

Inching closer to fall football A

month or so ago, if you had asked me about the prospects for a college football season this fall, I’d have said I was not optimistic, but wasn’t exactly ready to throw in the towel. I did, however, realize there were a number of coaches and athletic directors and other school administrators who were working night and day to keep the prospect of fall football alive. Plus, even though the clock was ticking, there was still time for things to change in a positive direction. Still, the president of the University of Arizona was saying he didn’t see football happening, the governor of Oregon was saying no large gatherings of any kind until the end of September and the governor of California had pretty much banned crowds of more than two people. Add to that the stunning announcement by the chancellor of the California State University system that all 23 schools under his command would be continuing distance learning in the fall. One day I was hopeful, the next day not so much. Good news, bad news. Hopeful news, discouraging news. Now, however, prospects have brightened considerably. A number of colleges and universities throughout the country are talking about bringing athletes back as early as the first of June. Others have set a June 15 date and others are still waiting for a firm date even as they make plans to reopen.

Football fans wore masks at a Georgia Tech football game during the 1918 swine flu pandemic. Not one school at the majorcollege level has said definitively that it will not be playing football this fall, and many have said that “not playing” is the only scenario not being considered. Several schools have, unfortunately, dropped other sports offerings due to budgetary concerns. Obviously, football is the engine that drives college sports. The money made by a school’s

football program — and once in a while by its basketball program — helps to pay for all the other

sports, virtually all of which cost more to run than they bring in. The thinking now is that — barring a strong resurgence of the coronavirus between now and the last weekend in August when the season officially begins — games will be played, but with reduced crowds or perhaps even no crowds at all. University of Oregon President Michael Schill may have said it best when he offered that

he’s hoping the Ducks will be playing football, but he doubts “very much” that they’ll be playing in a packed Autzen Stadium, one of the craziest places in America. Ohio State, meanwhile, with a 102,000-seat stadium, is openly talking about putting somewhere between 20,000 and 50,000 fans into the “Horseshoe,” virus be damned. They obviously have a different definition of social distancing in Columbus than they do in Eugene. Ironically, the Ducks and the Buckeyes are scheduled to meet Sept. 12 in a much-anticipated game in Eugene. The argument that seemingly is winning the day in terms of a resumption of football is that athletes will be a heck of a lot safer gathered together in a controlled on-campus environment than freelancing their workouts separately at various private health clubs around the country. Once athletes are on campus, workouts can be supervised, equipment can be cleaned, nutrition needs will be taken care of and players will have access to highly qualified trainers and team doctors. It’s a compelling argument and one that Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott has been making to anyone who will listen. Said Scott, “We’ve got a worldclass medical advisory committee — you could imagine some of

DHS pool project proponents rejoice ‘Squeaky wheels’ provided new energy ■ Editor’s Note: This is the conclusion of a two-part look at the evolution of the Davis High aquatics center. Today, longtime Blue Devil swim and water polo coaches Doug Wright and Tracy Stapleton join Deputy Superintendent Matt Best of the school district, DHS boys swim coach Owen Yancher and Athletic Director Jeff Lorenson in exploring the impact of having a new aquatics center “on campus.”

BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor Upgrading Davis swim facilities has been a topic of discussion for decades. While the aquatics community has grown by leaps and bounds over the years, the community has added one facility ... a net gain of maybe 10 lanes. With pools at Manor Park, Community Park, Arroyo Park and Civic Center

jammed with more than 10,000 swimmers annually, competitive and recreational programs for young and old have been forced to jockey for position. Many swimmers have to jump in the pool by 5 a.m. to get space. Others toil until 10 p.m. for precious practice time. At long last, with the execution of $100 million of Measure M school bonds, Davis High — and its physical education classes and more than 200 competitive swimmers — will finally get its own facility. Doug Wright, the Blue Devil girls water polo coach since 1994, weighed in on a project that once was perennially on the back burner. “I feel like we’re finally seeing some meat on the bones,” the DHS art teacher explained. “I’ve always been on the outside, encouraging, lobbying, talking with anybody who would talk with me about (keeping) the whole idea moving forward. “But now that concept seems like it’s finally taken hold. With a bond, you see the language, it becomes more real. And when you see signage go up that says ‘aquatics center at the high school ... coming soon’ — that’s powerful. It’s like ‘Wow!’ ”

After the Davis Joint Unified School District trustees prioritized how the bond money was to be used, officials posted that coming-soon sign on campus. The catalyst for telling the world about the project came when schools Deputy Superintendent Matt Best refinanced and executed two-thirds of the $150.9 million Measure M capital-improvement bonds approved by voters in November 2018. While the pool is expected to cost $10 million, another first-round project given the green light at DHS is a STEM

Building, which would provide space for math, engineering, science and music and arts instruction. Also included early on are new multipurpose rooms at Birch Lane, Chávez, North Davis and Willett elementary schools, according to Best. He also told The Enterprise that the Da Vinci Charter Academy MPR and Emerson Junior High science center are in the first wave of projects to be checked off. In refinancing now, Best said the district saved millions in the process and squeezed some extra money from the bonds.

As for the DHS aquatics center, Best sees completion as soon as three years from now. With the money in place, location and design become the priorities before the first shovel of dirt is turned. Best said city of Davis officials could be involved in a joint project in which part of Community Park is designated for the new facilities. But he cautioned that convenience of use for high school students is priority No. 1. Owen Yancher — the former Blue Devil swimmer
