Jury duty — it’s coming back. Yolo Superior Court officials plan to resume jury trials on Monday, July 6, more than three months after the coronavirus pandemic ground those proceedings — which typically bring large numbers of people into the downtown Woodland courthouse — to a halt. “It is time to restart jury trials here in Yolo,” Presiding Judge Samuel McAdam said in a news release issued last week. “They are an essential function of constitutional law and a free society.” McAdam pledged that jury duty will be conducted “in a safe and smart way,” with mandatory mask requirements, social distancing protocols and increased sanitation practices implemented to protect those who serve. With jury summonses expected to arrive in residents’ mailboxes starting Monday, Court Executive Officer Shawn Landry assured that “the court has made significant changes to the jury service protocol to ensure the safety of all potential jurors required to appear.” They include: ■ The court will follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for social distancing. ■ All jurors and people

The community came out to support Davis High seniors on Friday as the Class of 2020 headed to campus to pick up their caps and gowns. Seniors in festively decorated cars drove a gantlet of former teachers (from all the city’s elementary schools, junior highs and DHS), along with representatives from community organizations, clubs, and Davis High clubs and sports teams. Students at Davis’ other high schools had a similar welcome, and businesses and residences all over town came out to salute the graduates.

Roughly 100 UC Davis students and community members took to the streets in downtown Davis on Saturday, protesting a long pattern of police brutality against black people in the United States. The protests were sparked by the death of George Floyd, an African American man who was killed by a police officer Monday in Minneapolis. Over the past several days, protests have erupted across the U.S. In several cities, buildings and vehicles were burned, stores were looted and demolished, and violent clashes between police and protesters broke out. In Sacramento, protesters blocked the freeway and shattered the glass front doors of the Sacramento County Main Jail. The protests in Davis remained peaceful on Saturday evening. Students

Paul’s Place, budget cuts highlight City Council agenda BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer

2,800-square-foot, single-story house facing the railroad tracks on H Street with a 17-000-squarefoot, four-story multi-functional homeless facility operated by Davis Community Meals and Housing. The new facility would continue to provide the homeless services currently accessible at that location but with additional services and housing, including 18 new

permanent supportive housing units.

Paul’s Place

Also on Tuesday’s council agenda: a proposed budget for 2020-21 incorporating cuts needed to balance a sharp decline in revenue caused by the COVID19 pandemic. Council members will weigh in and staff will return for a final vote two weeks later.

Named after the father of Bill Pride, longtime executive director of Davis Community Meals and Housing, Paul’s Place was funded by private donors whose contributions were matched to the tune of $2.5 million by Sutter Health.

Gone but not forgotten Stollwood mourns 17 lives lost to COVID-19 BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer

In early April, after a staff member tested positive for COVID-19, the virus quickly spread to more than 60 residents and staff at the Stollwood Convalescent Hospital, which is part of St. John’s Retirement Village in Woodland. It was the first and only outbreak in a nursing home in Yolo County, and has accounted for most of the county’s deaths caused by the virus. “It was shocking,” St. John’s director Sean Beloud

VOL. 123, NO. 66

said when the first test results came in. “The fear of the unknown was overwhelming for the staff, for the residents and for their families.” What they did know about the new virus — that it was especially dangerous for older adults — did not bring comfort. The initial shock stretched into a painful two months, during which many longtime staff were stuck in home isolation. To replace them, Yolo County brought in a team of CALMAT nurses and Dignity Health personnel to care for the residents, most of whom chose to be treated in place and not transferred to intensive care units. With family and friends barred from visiting the

facility, Beloud said the medical team fought for their patients like they were family. “That’s the side of it a lot of people didn’t see,” he said. “The staff outside on their hands and knees in tears after one of the residents has passed.” Despite their efforts, the disease proved as lethal at Stollwood as it has elsewhere. It claimed a beloved employee, a retired junior high school teacher, a trilingual knitting champion, and more than a dozen others. As of Saturday, COVID19 had killed 103,674 people in the United States. Sixteen of those people

Davis gives the kids a special day I know that everyone loves a parade, and that expression rang true in a million ways last Friday when my family and I, along with hundreds or maybe even thousands of our fellow citizens, got to participate in a very special parade to honor this town’s 800 or so high school graduating seniors. It wasn’t really planned as a parade as much as it was a celebration of the lives and highschool careers of these kids. However, we did form a long, long line in our slow-moving cars as we snaked past all the wonderful people and organizations who have helped to educate and form the lives of our students over the years, some all the way back to kindergarten. Our daughter, Molly, who proudly plans to attend Sacramento City College in the fall, is one of those seniors graduating in a year like no other for high-school students all across the country. As I’ve noted before, this is the class whose celebratory senior year came to a sudden and unexpected halt halfway through March just as confetti and streamers were supposed to start falling from the sky to recognize a job well done. Everything ended at once. Yearlong academic projects just coming to fruition, an especially difficult class finally mastered, a promising season on the diamond, an after-school job, an animal raised for the county fair, a choir trip to Europe. All gone in the blink of an eye. But certainly they would still have a Senior Prom and a formal graduation before an overflow crowd of family and friends, followed by an elegant and perfectly planned Grad Night. No, no and no. However, a group of dedicated parents decided not to take “no” for an answer. What some saw as a sad ending, they saw as a glorious opportunity. I hesitate to name names, because I know the beauty and the genius of what transpired took many helpful hands and many creative minds, but the ringleaders who did the heavy lifting to make it all happen included Tricia Bosco, Brandi Lutzker and Jodi

Liederman, along with Davis High Athletic Director Jeff Lorenson. This fearsome foursome jumped through hoops, cut red tape, rallied the troops and brought smiles to a thousands faces and joy to a thousand hearts. Basically, a while ago families were sent notices with a schedule to pick up their student’s cap and gown on Friday, even though the graduation ceremony on June 12 will be online only and folks can show up in their pajamas and bare feet if they wish. We were encouraged to pack all family members into our car or van, along with the graduate, while townsfolk and businesses were kindly asked to give us a honk or a cheer as we made our way to the high school. Celebrations were planned for all four of the high schools in town, with ours taking place at Davis Senior High along 14th Street.

Molly Dunning and her fellow seniors got a terrific send-off courtesy of dedicated Davis High parents. headed off to pick up her cap and gown. We couldn’t have imagined what a magical ride awaited us. Long before we reached Davis High we were directed into the parking lot at North Davis Elementary, where a large group of teachers from Davis’ many elementary schools were there to clap and cheer and call Molly’s name. That’s when the tears started to flow as we realized this was not just a graduation from high school, but the end of a journey that began 13 years ago in kindergarten at Valley Oak, a school that no longer exists. We were then directed into the parking lot of our public library where junior high teachers, again with familiar faces, were there to greet each and every graduate from the long line of cars both in front of us and far behind. The fire department was there along with UC Davis representatives and others who cared dearly about these students and their futures. But we were still not close to picking up that elusive cap and gown. Our next detour was through the large parking lot that separates the Vet’s Memorial from Davis High proper, bordered on the north by Community Park. It was there that representatives of every club, every choir, every sports activity and just about everyone having anything to do with Davis High School were

hen we finally reached the parking lot near the football field, which was theoretically the original purpose of this journey, to Molly’s surprise there were all sorts of wonderful gifts tucked into the same bag that contained her long awaited Royal Blue cap and gown. As we left the school and began to drive around town and into downtown Davis, we were overwhelmed by the residents and business owners who had decorated their homes and stores to honor our graduates. Complete strangers would honk and wave whenever they saw a decorated car or van. Put simply, I have never felt a greater sense of community than I did last Friday. And we realized, yet again, how lucky we all are to call this place home. Once before in this space I paraphrased that great line from the movie “Field of Dreams.” Is this heaven? No, it’s Davis. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

The science behind viral soda fountains BY SARA THOMPSON Special to the Enterprise

he popular at-home experiment of dropping Mentos into Diet Coke became viral on the internet in 2005. Prior to this, it had been featured on evening programs and news affiliates in the late ’90s and early 2000s. But before the famous pairing of Mentos with Diet Coke, there was another popular variation in the 1980s. Life Savers had a flavor called “Wint-O-Green” that could fit through the tops of soda bottles and create the same soda geyser we love now. In the mid- to late ’90s, the candy size increased and could no longer fit through the bottle top, but Mentos was found to produce the same effect and became the go-to candy for soda geysers. Many assume the reaction to produce the tall soda geysers is a chemical one, similar to baking soda and vinegar, but it is in fact a physical reaction!

EXPLORIT SCIENCE CENTER The soda has carbon dioxide dissolved in the solution that is held under pressure, when you open a soda you hear a hiss, that is the pressure releasing and the bubbles that form are some of the carbon dioxide expanding and being released in its gaseous state. Not all of the carbon dioxide escapes just from opening the soda, which is why it stay bubbly for a while after opening, but it will begin to precipitate, or leave, the solution, resulting in an eventual flat soda. When you add a Mentos to the solution, it introduces a new means for the carbon dioxide to escape. Mentos are not entirely smooth like they appear, they are actually quite rough when looked at under a microscope. When dropped into the soda, the rough texture creates more surface area for the carbon

dioxide to become gaseous and expand. Because the Mentos is denser than the liquid, it sinks, helping to release more and more carbon dioxide as it goes down, seeding more bubbles above. The rapid expansion of gases causes the liquid solution to erupt out the top because it has nowhere else to go. One of the reasons that Diet Coke works better than regular is because the artificial sweetener creates a weaker surface tension than the sweeter Coke. When trying this at home, remember to do it outside, as you will make a huge mess! Try the experiment with different flavors of soda and with different flavors of Mentos, do they react the same? Does cutting up the Mentos or crushing it up also change the experiment or share the same results? ———— Explorit’s coming events: ■ Continue to support Explorit during this

UCD lab’s discovery may control inflammatory response to COVID-19 BY KATHY KEATLEY GARVEY Special to The Enterprise A drug discovered in the Bruce Hammock laboratory at the UC Davis may control the body’s inflammatory response to COVID-10 and could help patients recover, according to a nine-member research team’s newly published commentary in the journal Cancer Metastasis and Reviews, Springer Nature publishing group (See https://rdcu.be/b33IN). “COVID-19 results in excessive inflammation and a cytokine storm caused by

the human body’s reaction to the SARS-CoV-2 virus,” said lead author Dipak Panigrahy, a Harvard University physician and researcher who collaborates with the Hammock laboratory. “Controlling the body’s inflammatory response to COVID-19 will likely be as important as anti-viral therapies or a vaccine,” he said. Editor-in-chief and professor Kenneth Honn selected their commentary “Inflammation Resolution: a Dual-Pronged Approach to Averting Cytokine Storms in COVID-19?” as the top paper of the month.

The work is based on more than 40 years of eicosanoid research from the Hammock lab and more than 40 years of eicosanoid research from the Charles Serhan lab at Harvard Medical School. Co-authors include three physician-researchers: Charles Serhan, Patricia Sime of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, and Irene Cortés-Puch of the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, UC Davis Medical Center, and an EicOsis project scientist.

Hammock said the UC Davis team began researching cytokine storms 16 years ago in projects based on the thesis of former doctoral student Kara Schmelzer. Now the UC Davis and Harvard scientists are targeting COVID-19. Other co-authors of the

paper are Molly Gilligan and Allison Gartung of the Panigrahy lab; Sui Huang of the Institute for Systems Biology, Seattle; and Richard Phipps, independent scholar, Richmond, Va. Much of the research was funded by NIH grants, including a National

Environmental Determination: The Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) (SCH # 2014112012) for the Aggie Research Campus (ARC) Project is available for review beginning JUNE 1, 2020. The Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SCH#2014112012) evaluating the environmental impacts has been prepared for the project pursuant to CEQA requirements and will be reviewed for a recommendation to City Council. The SEIR identifies significant impacts for the following California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental topic areas: Aesthetics and Visual Resources; Agricultural and Forest Resources; Air Quality; Biological Resources; Cultural Resources; Geology, Soils, and Mineral Resources; Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy; Hazards and Hazardous Materials; Hydrology and Water Quality; Land Use and Urban Decay; Transportation and Circulation; Utilities; and Cumulative Impacts related to several of the foregoing topic areas. However, the SEIR includes mitigation measures that would reduce impacts related to Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology, Soils, and Mineral Resources, Energy, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Watery Quality, Land Use and Urban Decay, Utilities, and select areas of Cumulative Impacts to a less-than-significant level. The SEIR determined that the project would have certain impacts to Aesthetics and Visual Resources, Agricultural and Forest Resources, Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Transportation and Circulation, and Cumulative Impact areas that would remain significant and unavoidable even after implementation of the feasible mitigation measures set forth in the SEIR. Furthermore, as this is a Subsequent EIR, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the environmental document also compares the ARC Project to the originally proposed Mace Ranch Innovation Center (MRIC) Project, in order to identify whether the above-noted significant impacts are new or substantially increased in severity, when compared to the MRIC Project.

Project Application #14-54 General Plan Amendment #6-14 Prezone #4-14 The public comment period for the Draft SEIR ended on Development Agreement DA #2-14 April 27, 2020 and a Final SEIR has been prepared to provide Annexation/Sphere of Influence Amendment written responses to all public comments received. The Final SEIR is available online with other project documents at the Project Description: The ARC Project is anticipated project website below. to include up to approximately 2,654,000 square feet of innovation center/business uses including office, R&D, Hazardous Materials/Waste On Site: The project site does laboratory, and advanced manufacturing, and of which up not contain any sites listed on State data bases compiled to 260,000 square feet may be developed with supportive pursuant to California Government Code Section 65962.5 commercial uses. The ARC Project also incorporates up to 850 Availability of Documents: housing units on-site. ADDRESS WHERE COPY OF FINAL SEIR IS The City of Davis has included the Mace Triangle within the overall annexation project boundaries to ensure that an agricultural and unincorporated island is not created and to allow the continuation and expansion of existing uses. The SEIR evaluates the potential for expansion of the Ikeda’s farm stand and additional urban development on the Ikeda’s parcel and adjacent agricultural parcel. Specifically, this SEIR assumes development of up to 71,056 square feet of general commercial uses, including up to 45,900 of research, office, and R&D, and up to 25,155 square feet of retail. Generally, the following approvals for the ARC Project are being requested from the City of Davis at this time: General Plan Amendment, prezone to a Preliminary Planned Development, development agreement, and action by the City Council to set the baseline features of the project and call for an election. In addition, the ARC Project would require a Combined Municipal Service Review (MSR) and Sphere of Influence (SOI) Amendment in order to bring the 229-acre project site, including the Mace Triangle Site and the City’s 25-acres, within the City of Davis’s SOI; annexation of the entire 229-acre project site, including the Mace Triangle Site and the City piece, into the City of Davis; and detachment of the entire 229-acre project site from the East Davis County Fire Protection District. The City will need to issue additional discretionary approvals for the ARC Project prior to any on-site development being allowed. For CEQA purposes, the “ARC Site” is comprised of approximately ±194 acres, and defined as the 187-acre privately-owned property containing the Aggie Research Campus development footprint, and a proposed 6.8-acre easement on the City Parcel to satisfy the City’s 150-foot Agricultural Buffer requirements along a portion of the project’s northern boundary.

AVAILABLE: The Final SEIR will be available on June 1, 2020, for public review and download on the City of Davis website at: https://www.cityofdavis.org/city-hall/communitydevelopment-and-sustainability/development-projects/aggieresearch-campus. The Draft SEIR and other project materials are also available at this website.

entering the courthouse are required to wear face coverings at all times while inside the courthouse. ■ There will be staggered reporting times to reduce the number of people in the jury assembly room and courtroom. ■ Jury orientation and hardships will be conducted virtually by Zoom or by phone on the Friday afternoon prior to start of trial on Monday. ■ Sneeze guards have been installed in the jury service office as well as in the jury box of each courtroom. ■ Text and email alerts are available to jurors and can be set up by logging into the Jury Portal. With social-distancing protocols also expected to limit the amount of seating available to the public, “we plan to stream court hearings via YouTube so members of the media and public can listen to the cases remotely without entering the courthouse,” McAdam said. Currently, the Woodland courthouse has 11 of its

courtrooms operating, with proceedings for seven of them — comprising the criminal, civil and probate courts — streamed live on YouTube. Check thim out here: yolo.courts.ca.gov/ online-services/hearingstream. In most cases, judges, attorneys, probation officers and defendants attend the hearings remotely, either via videoconference or telephone, to reduce the number of people entering the courthouse. More recently, the court began approving the transport of Yolo County Jail inmates who requested to appear in person for their preliminary hearings. “The defendant has a right to be present in the courtroom, and we are honoring that right,” McAdam told The Enterprise in a phone interview Thursday. Elsewhere in the courthouse, the indoor clerk windows remain closed, though two that are accessible from outside the building are open to agencies and the public. Other court business continues to be conducted

via email and phone, including the court’s selfhelp center that also plans to accept clients by appointment, in person or via the Zoom video platform, starting Monday. “We’re operating in an entirely different manner,” Landry, the court executive officer, said during Thursday’s phone interview. “It was quite difficult to do, but I think we’ve been successful at it.” So successful, in fact, that the court plans to explore making some virtual proceedings permanent. Crime victims fearful of or intimidated by the idea of being in the courtroom may be able to continue viewing the hearings online instead. Attorneys with matters in multiple counties on a single day can potentially avoid lengthy travel times with video or call-in appearances. “The important thing is that the court is fully functioning. It’s a virtual courthouse,” McAdam added. As other courthouses across the state have stalled their operations, “Yolo really has been a model, and we’re very proud of it.”

OBITUARIES Jack Charles Hirsh Dec. 7, 2001 — April 15, 2020

On April 11, Jack Charles Hirsh passed away at the age of 18. Born in Newport Beach on Dec. 7, 2001, Jack lived in San Clemente his entire life. Jack was quiet, smart, funny, witty, kind, compassionate and generous. Fiercely loyal to family and friends, Jack made connections with many incredible people including his life-long best friend and brother William, and his best buddy and honorary brother Daniel Cangas. Jack was a friend to anyone who needed a friend and had a gift for bringing people together. His family will be forever grateful for the friendship and community support Jack enjoyed, particularly during the last few very difficult years. Jack was a man of few words. When he spoke, it was with quick wit and typically funny. Hearing Jack speak was like finding gold. He spoke and acted with honesty and love. Jack enjoyed many great adventures with his family: hiking Cinque Terra, fishing in Alaska, snorkeling in Kauai, visiting Harry Potter World, and staying with family in Davis and Oregon were among his favorites. Jack loved being active and was his happiest when working with teammates

to break up a pass or defend a goal. Jack was a football and Chargers fanatic. During his brutal 2 1/2 year fight against bone cancer, Jack was our hero. Despite everything, Jack remained courageous and continued to think of others, often expressing his appreciation and rarely complaining. Jack donated his Make-A-Wish to the CHLA Child Life program to help kids and families he thought had it tougher than he did. Jack only lived a short time, but he has left an impression on the many he touched that will shape and influence the way we all live. We loved him immensely and will forever feel the pain of losing him too soon. Jack is preceded in death by his grandmother Jean and great aunt Mary. Jack is survived by his parents Dwight and Valerie, brother William, grandparents Dwight, Lucy, and Al, uncles Greg and Tom, aunt Elizabeth, cousins Madeline and Andrew, many extended family members, and his loyal dogs Charger and Otis. A Celebration of Life will follow. The Jack Hirsh Endowed Fund for the Child Life Program has been established in his honor.

City and county contributions have included purchasing an adjacent house that would enable homeless services to continue during demolition and construction. Following completion of Paul’s Place, that house would continue to be used to provide transitional or other housing services. Meanwhile, the new facility would provide the following: ■ Four emergency shelter beds, staff offices, a dining and kitchen area, laundry, bathrooms and a resource center on the first floor; ■ 10 transitional singleoccupant bedrooms with shared kitchen, laundry, living room, bathrooms and offices on the second floor; and ■ 18 total singleoccupant permanent supportive micro-units on the third and fourth floors. The improvement from current conditions at that location would be significant. For decades, the existing building at 1111 H St. has served as a resource center and shelter for the homeless, providing a place during the day to eat, shower, launder clothing and blankets and access services. But with 75 to 100 people passing through every day, it gets crowded, and it’s not uncommon for a line of 20 or more people to be waiting for the one shower available. Lines are common for the two washers and dryers, too. The 12 transitional housing beds — eight for men, four for women — are usually taken as well. So when Sutter Health

two years ago announced its “Getting to Zero” grantmatching campaign to encourage communities to come up with innovative approaches to addressing homelessness, many people in Davis took notice. Everyone from homeless services providers to Davis city staff and law enforcement, the faith community to local business leaders, began collaborating on devising a project that would gain the necessary private support to secure a Sutter matching grant. Success came from donors small and large, including a $750,000 grant from Partnership HealthPlan of California. The broad community support was further evident during a Davis Planning Commission meeting earlier this month when three of the seven commissioners had to recuse themselves from voting on Paul’s Place because of financial contributions they had made to the effort. The remaining commissioners unanimously recommended council approval of the proposal.

Budget Also on Tuesday’s Zoom-meeting agenda: a budget workshop. Last month, the council received a grim report on how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted city revenues and what cuts may be necessary to balance the budget. A proposed budget that council members will see on Tuesday includes the recommended elimination of a number of currently vacant positions in city departments that the staff report notes “is not

done lightly.” “The city organization is already stretched to attain the expected service levels with current resources,” the report for Tuesday’s meeting said. “Proposed cuts were compiled as strategically as possible to provide a path to maintain both existing positions and staffing while minimizing decreases to service levels. The list … goes as far as possible without wholesale elimination of existing programs.” Vacant positions in numerous city departments would go unfilled, from communication staff in the city manager’s office to a senior parks supervisor and fire inspector. Also on the chopping block: several vacant positions in the Davis Police Department, including a corporal position, two police officer positions, one part-time trainee position and a records specialist position. The proposed reduction for the Police Department is nearly $1 million. The council will provide feedback to staff on the proposed budget and staff will return June 16 with a budget resolution for consideration and adoption. Tuesday’s City Council meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. and is accessible through several methods: ■ Televised live on city of Davis Government Channel 16 (available to those who subscribe to cable television) ■ Livestreamed at https://cityofdavis.org/ city-hall/city-council/ city-council-meetings/ meeting-videos ■ Streamed via Zoom at https://zoom. us/j/96472091973

David Michael Ogrydziak Oct. 12, 1946 — May 6, 2020

David Ogrydziak, much-loved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully at home in Davis on May 6, 2020, with his wife of 50 years, Maria, at his side. Born on Oct. 12, 1946 in Hazleton, Pa., to Edward Ogrydziak and Christine Andras Ogrydziak, David joined the faculty of the Department of Food Science and Technology at UC Davis in 1977, serving as chair of the Food Science Graduate Group and leading the creation of the food science Ph.D. at UCD. He retired as professor emeritus in 2009. A gifted student, David earned an academic scholarship to distinguished local Pennsylvania prep school MMI. David then earned a BS in Life Sciences from MIT in 1968, where he was a fraternity member at TDC and the high jumper on the MIT track team. One month before his graduation, David met Maria Kivisild, a fellow MIT undergraduate studying architecture, and their lifelong adventure began. David spent the summer of 1968 in Davis, training for the Peace Corps, but he chose love over the corps and returned to MIT and Maria that fall. He began a Ph.D. in food science at MIT, and the couple married in 1969. Over the next five years, two children joined the family: Luke and Julia. During his summer of Peace Corps training, David found another lifelong love, the city of Davis. Raised in rugged coal country, he dreamed of his children growing up in a green, safe, friendly, small college town: Davis was a perfect fit. David completed his Ph.D. at MIT in 1975, after which David, Maria, 4-year-old Luke, and 1-year-old Julia packed up their belongings in a temperamental blue Fiat and drove across the country to start a new life in California. That fall, David began a postdoc at UC Berkeley and subsequently realized his dream by accepting a tenure-track position at UC Davis in 1977. The family moved into a house on Anderson Road, two blocks from campus, on April 1, 1977. In 1982, David and Maria had a third child: Michael.

David and Maria travelled and explored the greater world together, from early trips in Japan, a honeymoon summer in Europe, including Italy and Greece (where they were stranded), to later sojourns in France and Germany. In 1985, the whole family moved to Paris for a sabbatical year, arriving one week before school with three young children and no place to stay. Somehow, everything fell into place. David’s sabbatical lab at the French National Institute for Agriculture was in the heart of Paris on the Rue Mouffetard. The family lived nearby on the Île SaintLouis, in a historic, top floor, artist’s studio apartment overlooking the Seine. During this sabbatical, David particularly loved visiting Notre Dame and the Pompidou and spending time at the English bookstore Shakespeare and Co. In his career as a scientist, David developed a microbiological research program to probe basic biological mechanisms, with the understanding that this knowledge could be applied to solve real-world problems. His major effort was a detailed genetic, biochemical, and molecular analysis of the secretory apparatus of the non-traditional yeast Yarrowia lipolytica. Yarrowia naturally exports large quantities of extracellular proteins, making it a leading candidate for biotechnological applications. But the absence of workable genetic methods had hindered its use in practice. As a faculty member in the Department of Food Science and Technology at UC Davis, David established an NSF-funded investigation into Yarrowia, building on his postdoc work with Robert Mortimer at Berkeley and publishing the results in Molecular and Cellular Biology, Current Genetics, the Journal of Biological Chemistry, and the Journal of Cell Biology, among others. While unusual for an American academic scientist to pursue both fundamental and applied research, David also published practical studies of bacteria

that caused foodborne illness or food spoilage, and he worked with chemical engineers to use diverse yeast species in bioprocessing applications. David’s teaching was also wide-ranging, from food microbiology, to plant sanitation, to the genetics of industrial microorganisms. Beyond his lab in UC Davis, David worked with international scientists who became lifelong friends. These collaborations led to multiple sabbaticals at the French National Institute for Agriculture with Claude Gaillardin in Paris and a sabbatical at the Dresden University of Technology with Gerold Barth. These strong collaborations contributed additional fundamental publications, and David emerged as a widely recognized expert on the analysis of Yarrowia, writing numerous reviews and book chapters. David valued the intellectual rigor of graduate research education. He is remembered as a highly effective Food Science Graduate Group chair by his colleagues, navigating the challenging approval process to offer a food science Ph.D. at UC Davis, an accomplishment with significant impact on the international visibility of the department and the campus. Fittingly, his scientific legacy will continue in the microbiology and Genetics students he mentored in his own lab, many of whom have gone on to productive careers in academia, government, and biotechnology companies, and also in the graduates of the food science MS and Ph.D. programs. Upon hearing of his passing, a number of David’s former graduate students wrote that he was a wonderful mentor who provided the opportunities and confidence to prove themselves as young scientists. His UC Davis colleagues shared how much they appreciated David’s contributions to departmental governance, and several remarked about his wry, understated sense of humor and ability to sum up faculty discussions with an appropriate sports analogy.

As a father and friend, David was deeply kind, loyal, and invariably honest. He could find the humor in any situation and had an eagerness to share jokes with those close to him. He was consistent and empathetic, and kept those around him grounded. He did not weigh life by material possessions or outward success; he valued relationships, intellect, and hard work. In his personal life, David’s great loves were family, sports and fitness (especially track and field, weightlifting, and golf — did we mention, he once got a hole in one? — but any sport would do), travel, a succession of black dogs, decades of discussions and dinners with Book Club, art (from movies, to music, to paintings), and food (couscous, chocolate chip cookies, tarte citron). He always had time for his kids and encouraged them to develop their own interests and follow their specific passions. He coached AYSO soccer, basketball, and little league baseball with genuine enthusiasm. In later years, nothing made him happier than a family gathering or to witness or hear of the latest developments of his grandchildren. David loved exploring the outdoors with family and friends. He took his family on weekend trips throughout the state, from Shasta to Death Valley. Some of his and Maria’s favorite spots were Bodega Bay (with the dog, of course), Carmel and Point Lobos, and Mendocino. Closer to home, there were constant outings to the UCD campus — the fields, the track, Putah Creek and the Rec Pool. And in 1994, David also fulfilled a lifelong dream to hike to base camp on Mount Everest with his best friend from college, Theta. David is survived by his wife Maria; children Michael, Julia (Jeffrey Krause) and Luke (Zoë Prillinger); and grandchildren Ingrid, Kyrian, Axel, and Saskia. He will be dearly missed. There will be a celebration of life in Davis to remember David. An announcement will follow once we are able to set a date.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

SUNDAY, MAY 31, 2020 A5

Patience and caution put patrons first T

hings are changing quickly, and Davis businesses are responding with care. After reports of too much revelry across the Causeway on Memorial Day weekend, I’m happy to see Davis businesses proceed with caution. Yolo County allowed restaurants to reopen for dine-in services as of early Wednesday. That order came late Tuesday. It gave little turnaround for businesses to file all of the paperwork, and have it reviewed and approved by county health officials. Be patient. Many are starting to reopen. Others are taking it slow. Some eateries that don’t specialize in the dine-in experience, or have close quarters, are sticking to takeout for a bit. Sandwich shops and pizzerias often do fine without inhouse diners. Even bigger names like DeVere’s, KetMoRee and Mikuni are not rushing, and had not announced full reopening plans as of Thursday. Other larger restaurants open for dinein include Village Pizza & Grill, Tres Hermanas, Café Bernardo and Osteria Fasulo. Paesano’s opened Friday, by reservation only. See more on my Google sheet, (link below). As of Wednesday, retail merchants and business offices were allowed to open to the public, with restrictions. After Thursday, it included hair salons and barbershops. Those with “quarantine hair” are excited. Still, be patient — and tip generously.

Stylists need time to obtain the personal protective equipment (new set for each client), and notify their customers. Many are contacting established clients whose appointments were canceled because of COVID-19. Check with your haircutter on their plans. There are lots of rules for patrons, too, like making an appointment, waiting outside, wearing a mask with earloops, and arriving alone. A sampling of retailers opening up for inside shopping includes Armadillo Music, The Avid Reader, Davis Cards & Games, Sole Desire Shoes, The Vault Boardshop, and The Wardrobe. ——— Café Bernardo and its Wiki Bar reopened on Thursday, allowing interior dining. It has been closed since March, with about 40 Davis employees furloughed. General Manager Stephanie Patton gave me a tour on Wednesday to show how it works. It removed 12 tables and about 30 chairs from its dining area to accommodate 6-foot spacing. Groups of up to 10 can sit together by law, but eight is the max (at just one table) at Bernardo’s. The layout approved by the county may not be changed to accommodate different party sizes.

WENDY WEITZEL/COURTESY PHOTO

Cafe Bernardo General Manager Stephanie Patton shows spacing marks for patrons who wait in line before entering the restaurant. Closed since mid-March, it opened Thursday to dine-in. Masks and spacing are required in line (the sidewalk is marked) but patrons may remove face coverings once they are seated. Doors will be propped open to provide a touchless entry and exit. Guests who arrive in groups will not be asked if they are from the same household. Café Bernardo requests that diners review the menu online while they are in line, so they are prepared to order quickly when they get to the counter. The cafe reopened with its full spring menu. Former self-service items like creamers, sugar, salt, pepper and ketchup are available on request.

Restaurant hours will be 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays, and 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Bar hours are 11-8 and 11-9, respectively. As with all alcohol sales right now, patrons ordering adult beverages for onsite consumption are required to make a food purchase. Patton also asked patrons to be mindful of timing. If customers are done with their meal, they will be “encouraged to finish their dining experience” to accommodate customers in line, and the cleaning process. ——— Watch for dining areas to expand, especially

downtown, in what is being called an “open-air initiative.” (Café Bernardo’s general manager said that was unlikely for them). The initiative is lauded as a way “to better accommodate physical distancing requirements, and potentially serve a greater number of customers,” a Davis Downtown email said. The city is waiving fees and expediting temporary permits for outdoor dining and business use in public spaces like sidewalks, streets and parking lots. I continue to update my Google sheet, Davis Businesses during COVID-19, at https://bit.ly/Davis Businesses. In it, there are sheets for Restaurantsopen, Restaurants-closed, Businesses-retail, 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. There were lots of updates this week. It’s satisfying to move restaurants from the closed category to the open one. One restaurant that is perfect for current circumstances — Bistro 33 — remains silent. The former City Hall property has the largest open-air dining space downtown. The restaurant hasn’t updated its online messaging in a month, and has not returned any of my calls or messages — sent to multiple recipients. ——— Is it a good time to start a new business? If that business is making coffins, maybe so. Blue Pine Coffins opened May 15.

Dean Newberry makes the coffins and his wife, Danielle Newberry, manages the business. Before that, he owned Talbott Solar, which was sold to Sunny Energy in Arizona. Danielle said the business wasn’t inspired by the COVID crisis. They discovered the need for biodegradable, affordable coffins when her mother was in hospice. Proper Jewish burials must be 100% biodegradable. Dean decided to build his mother-in-law’s coffin. It must have been good luck. The 91-year-old recovered. Meanwhile, “the seed was planted in his head,” Danielle said. “It excited him, and he started designing coffins. He said, ‘I can do this; it’s a retirement business.’” Blue pine refers to trees that are already dead. They were not cut down to make the coffins. PG&E in Nevada City removes these trees because they threaten powerlines or are a fire hazard. Many already died from beetles or drought. There is no metal, synthetic fabric or padding inside Blue Pine Coffins. Just wood shavings and — if the family desires — a cotton sheet. For more information, email Danielle Newberry at coffins@ dcn.orgor call 530-4005543. — Wendy Weitzel is a Davis writer and editor. Her column runs on Sundays.

Due for a new roof? This is the time to install solar BY EMILY SEVEREID Special to The Enterprise Effective May 4, Yolo County announced it is now allowing construction and other limited activities to resume. The city of Davis is accepting new construction permit applications and resuming processing of existing applications. The building counter in City Hall remains closed to the public. As our community adopts new ways of going about daily life due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re all spending much more time at home. This benefits ourselves and our loved ones, as well as the community as a whole, by decreasing exposure to foreign vectors. With summer fast approaching, temperatures will continue to rise here in the Sacramento Valley. The heat of the summer along with increased time spent at home will result in

higher energy bills from more frequent use of air conditioning systems. However, if your home is nearly due for a new roof, it’s also the optimal time to consider installing a rooftop solar system to help cut down on energy costs in the future. There are significant benefits to completing reroofing and rooftop solar installation projects at the same time. Doing both projects at the same time is cost-effective, logistically simpler for the homeowner as well as service providers, and environmentally beneficial due to the resulting reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from energy generation.

Logistical benefits The lifespan of a new roof and a rooftop solar system is approximately the same, with proper care and warranties. That makes reroofing the perfect time to

subsequently install rooftop solar. Putting a rooftop solar system on an old roof may result in needing to remove then reinstall the solar panels to replace or repair roof parts. Doing these projects together can reduce the likelihood of repairs or replacements occurring at different times. Simply completing these projects together can relieve a homeowner of worries later on about the health of their roof and the integrity of their rooftop solar system. This can also lead to several cost benefits related to reroofing and rooftop solar installation, as well (see below for details). Homeowners should also consider other roof-related efficiency measures like

Did you know? Under the provisions of the 2013 California Energy Code, all residential reroofing projects must comply with cool roof requirements when more than 50% of a roof is replaced. More information on materials can be found at https://coolroofs.org/ directory. Installing a rooftop solar system involves putting a fair amount of strain on your roof. Keep in mind that a poorly installed rooftop solar system can impact the function and longevity

of your roof.

Cost benefits It’s important to consider the lifespan and health of your roof when thinking about installing a rooftop solar system. For instance, if you get a rooftop solar system installed and then find out that your roof needs replacing a couple of years later, it could cost an additional $150 to $250 per solar panel to remove and re-install them after the roof has been replaced. Many solar contractors offer warranty options that address this situation.

Accordingly, it may be to a homeowner’s advantage to discuss warranty options in detail with the contractor, in case there is the opportunity to potentially cover some of that fee if that situation were to arise.

Environmental benefits In the face of a global health crisis, many people are spending more time at home to keep themselves and others safe. This will result in increased energy

SOLAR: Inspections carried out safely From Page A5 bills throughout the summer months when temperatures often rise above 100 degrees in Davis. Environmentally friendly energy generation is important to residents in Davis, as it will decrease the amount of greenhouse gases that are emitted into the atmosphere, commonly referred to as our carbon footprint. These emissions increase the risk of climate change affecting our daily lives in the future. Another positive impact a rooftop solar system has are decreased monthly energy bills. Using energy generated by solar power is an effective way to keep our homes cool throughout the summer without breaking the bank. With the uncertainties of the COVID-19 health crisis, keeping you and your loved ones comfortable at home takes on increased importance.

City permitting during COVID-19 During the shelter-in-place order from Yolo County and the State of California, the city of Davis is working to continue to provide essential services to the community. City Hall is closed

to the public, but a limited number of essential staff are still working and providing for the community in many ways, including processing permits for construction projects. The city of Davis is currently accepting online permit applications for all types of projects. Greg Mahoney, chief building officer with the city of Davis Building Division, reports that “since everything has moved electronic right now during this pandemic, permits can take a little bit longer to approve, but it’s still a simple process overall.” With permits come inspections, and the city has defined protocols for inspections during the COVID-19 crisis. In order to protect building inspectors, homeowners and contractors, the city is asking everyone to postpone any inspections that are not necessary to keep a project moving forward. In compliance with the county shelter-in-place directive, if an inspection is necessary to keep a project active, city inspection staff will not enter households. Instead, the inspector will contact the owner/contractor and request photographs of the installation to be texted in order to perform

the inspection. Larger projects that do not require inspectors to enter a household will be conducted as usual while following safety protocols such as social distancing, and wearing gloves and masks.

Still a good time to go solar The resumption of construction permits is good news for Davis residents considering installing a rooftop solar system. While contractors generally handle all permitting requirements, homeowners should stay up-to-date on current requirements for planning purposes. There’s no better time to consider going solar to power to your home. The Federal tax credit is currently 26% of project costs. See the Cool Davis Rooftop Solar page for more details and our incentives page for other ways to save on cool home improvements. — Emily Severeid is a CivicSpark Fellow for the city of Davis.

were residents at Stollwood. Another was a nursing assistant at the facility. Each resident died away from loved ones, isolated by the contagious nature of the disease. Their deaths were mourned — and lives celebrated — online or in sparse gatherings limited to close family and friends. “I will always regret the lost opportunity to comfort and soothe her as she lay dying. I’ll never have that time back,” said Judy O’Neill, whose mother, Rosemond Davis, died at Stollwood in April. “But this virus did not completely take her from me — hers is the voice I hear in my head every single day.” Last week, St. John’s held a virtual memorial service to honor each life lost in the outbreak. Until now, their names had been kept private. This week, the families shared their loved ones’ stories with The Enterprise so their lives could be celebrated by the community that most had been a part of for many decades. Isabel Bettencourt was the first resident to die from COVID-19 at the Stollwood Convalescent Hospital. She passed away on April 13 at the age of 90. The youngest of five siblings, Isabel was born in Woodland in 1929 to Joseph and Angelina Pimentel. When she was 16, she married Frank Bettencourt at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Woodland. She was active in Woodland’s Portuguese community and enjoyed decorating and making flower arrangements. She dedicated her life to raising three daughters. Iola Duncan Tandy passed away on April 14. She was 103. The great-great-granddaughter of a Scottish immigrant, Iola’s family began living in the Capay Valley in the early 1800s. In 1916, Iola was born to William Bruce Duncan and Bessie Tilly Duncan. She grew up in a farming family. At 12, Iola got her first paying job as an almond hurler. Four years later, she dropped out of school and married Carlton Tandy. Their daughter Elizabeth Jane was born

the following year. During the Great Depression, Iola cooked for the drivers who worked for her husband’s trucking company. They divorced in 1945 and Iola married William Francis Tandy. She cooked for the Esparto School District until 1965. In 2014, Iola went to live at the St. John’s Retirement Village. She transitioned to the Stollwood Convalescent Hospital in November 2019. Frankie McKay also died on April 14. She was 77 years old. Katie Guerrero also passed away on April 14, the deadliest day of the outbreak. She was 88 years old. Born and raised in Central California, Katie moved with her family to Woodland as a teenager. In 1949, she married Froylan Guerrero at Holy Rosary Catholic Church. They shared 51 years of marriage before Froylan, the love of her life, died in 2000. Froylan built several of their homes, always adding special details for Katie. Before moving to St. John’s, Katie lived for almost half a century in a house he built on Redwood Drive. After retiring from Yolo General, Katie enjoyed going on trips with her family to Disneyland and Sunriver Resort, and camping up and down the West Coast. She liked gardening, going for walks, shoe shopping, decorating her home for Christmas, hosting parties, and attending church. She loved the color red. Her family loved her guacamole, albondigas, simmered pork with chiles, fruit salad and banana cake. “Although Katie was a working mother, she drew her greatest sense of satisfaction and accomplishment from creating a nurturing and loving home for her family,” her obituary read. On April 22, Katie was laid to rest in a private burial beside Froylan at St. Joseph’s Cemetery. Don Warren passed away on April 16. Don was 89. He was born in Woodland to Glenn and Marie Warren in 1930. In 1948, after graduating from Winters High School, Don married his classmate Geraldine Bishop.

MOURNS: Details of lives lost bring humanity to the numbers From Page A6 A few years later, Don and Gerry moved to Esparto, where they raised three children. Don worked with his father in farming and eventually started his own hay harvesting business. He later opened an insurance agency. After retiring, Don enjoyed spending time with his three grandsons. He was an avid 49ers and Giants fan and frequently went to Palo Alto to watch Stanford football games. He was proud to be a 15-gallon donor to the Sacramento Blood Bank. Don and Gerry remained together until Gerry’s death on March 8, 2020, a few weeks before his own. Winnie Prewett died on April 17. She was 78 years old. Rosemond Davis passed away on April 20 at the age of 95. “My parents came to California from the Midwest in their early 30s with seven children under the age of 10 and a pocketful of money from auctioning off all their earthly possessions, right down to their last stick of butter,” her daughter Judy O’Neill wrote. Rosemond gave up a singing career to get married and start a family. They lived up and down California, mostly in ramshackle farmhouses in the countryside. “Mom was a very handsoff mother,” Judy wrote. “I remember her stirring a pot on the stove with her nose stuck in a book. She would simply ask ‘Any broken bones or excessive blood?’ If not, we were good to go and she never got mad.” Rosemond always remained calm in the face of calamity. In her later years, she was a cherished best friend to her children. “She loved sharing in our lives and our stories, and with seven children, that’s a lot of stories,” Judy wrote. At 95, Rosemond still had a biting wit and a dry sense of humor. George Chin died on April 22 at the age of 80. George was born in Burma in 1940 to Chin Lin Ngoon and Chow Toy King. He was the fifth of 16 children. In 1958, George married his sweetheart, Nelly Chin. They had four children together. After immigrating to the U.S., George lived in San Francisco, Union City, Woodland and Davis. George worked at General Motors for 15 years, making many sacrifices so his family could have a better life. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather. He loved to go on camping trips with his family at Yosemite National Park. He had a great sense of humor. George and Nelly were married for 61 years before he passed. “His family was able to say goodbye and are in peace,” his obituary read, “knowing that he is returning home to his Heavenly Father and is now with his son, Richard.” Ann Davis passed away on April 24. She was 68. Ann was born in England to Harold and Florence Savage. She immigrated to the U.S. with her family at age 3, spending her childhood years in Southern California. Ann earned a bachelor’s degree from CSU Long Beach and taught for many years at Lee Junior High School. She enjoyed entertaining friends and family, reading, and playing golf. Nothing brought her more joy than spending time with her four grandchildren, Layla, Winter, Mabel and Weston. Wilma Soares died on April 25 at the age of 85. Wilma was born in Switzerland in 1935, the daughter of Elvezia Tonini and Renato Lafferma. She immigrated to the U.S. when she was 16 and was raised in California by her mother and stepfather. She

raised her own children in Zamora. “Wilma loved nothing more than to visit with family, watch her greatgrandchildren play, and listen to Swiss music,” her obituary read. Wilma’s first language was Italian. She was also fluent in German and English. An avid knitter, Wilma twice won the “Fastest Needles in the West” competition. She could knit a sweater or a blanket in a day. She was also known for her amazing cooking and her love of the accordion. Lupe Roa passed away on April 27 at the age of 98. A longtime resident of Woodland, Lupe was born in 1921 in New Mexico to Jesus and Alejandra Martinez. She was one of nine siblings. When she was 36, Lupe married Refugio (Rafael) Roa at Holy Rosary Catholic Church. They shared 40 years of marriage before Refugio passed in 1999. Lupe enjoyed gardening and preparing family meals. She loved spending time with her children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren. She was admired for her quiet, calm, and giving personality, and her loving, kind

and generous heart. Elaine Albertson passed away on April 30 at the age of 95. She was born to Emma and Arvid Kyllonen in 1924 in Hancock, Mich. Elaine graduated from Suomi College, a Finnish college in Michigan. Elaine had two children with her husband Kenneth Albertson, who passed away at the age of 57, more than four decades ago. Elaine spent her life traveling the world and planning trips for other people to travel. She started a company called Elaine’s World of Travel in Chatsworth.. After moving to Woodland in 1989, Elaine worked for Davisville Travel in Davis. She retired reluctantly at the age of 84. While she was a hard worker, Elaine also found time to take her children and grandchildren on trips to Spain, France, Finland, Russia and elsewhere. “She lived a full life,” her daughter Kathie Souza said. “She created a lot of great memories.” Antonia (Toni) Sisemore also passed on April 30. She was 72 years old and worked as a certified nursing assistant (CNA) at Stollwood. Toni was born in McAllen, Texas. She

moved with her family at a young age to Solano County. She went to school and did farm work before graduating from Vacaville High School. Toni found a calling in her job as a nursing assistant at Stollwood, where she worked for nearly two decades, staying on well past retirement age. Her humility, generosity and warmth brightened the days of her coworkers and the residents she cared for. A devout Christian, Toni spent her Sundays worshipping with her family at church. Regardless of the challenges she encountered in her life, her faith never wavered. “Toni lost her life due to

PROTEST: Campus leaders speak out on George Floyd death From Page A1 marched through downtown chanting and carrying signs that read “Black Lives Matter” and “Silence = Compliance.” The group of students notified the Davis Police Department in advance and an officer in a patrol car provided an escort. Kevin Kimura, an undergraduate student at UC Davis, said he organized the protest after seeing people take to the streets Friday in his home city of San Jose. “Police brutality has directly affected me and my friends,” Kimura said, referring to experiences with police in San Jose. Ashley Fergoso, a UC Davis history major from East Los Angeles, said she was also motivated by demonstrations in her home city. “It was hard seeing my community help out and not being able to be there,” Fergoso said. Amber Griego, a UC

Davis psychology major, said she helped organize the protest when she realized there were others like her who wanted to speak out but could not make it to one of the larger protests. “Here in Davis, we also object to systemic racism and police brutality,” Griego said. “We see and we acknowledge black lives and their suffering.” According to research done by the National Academy of Sciences, black men are more than twice as likely to be killed by police as white men in the U.S. “I was outraged by the injustice I saw. I couldn’t just stand by,” said Maya Martinez, another UC Davis undergrad who organized the protest. Martinez carried a sign that read “Natives for Black Lives Matter,” to express solidarity with black people. “We have really suffered injustice as well and it’s important for us to show solidarity with others experiencing injustice,” Martinez

In February, Ahmaud Arbery,

a 25-year-old black man, was gunned down by a white father and son while he was jogging in southern Georgia. In March, Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old black woman, died at the hands of police in Louisville, Ky.

She was shot eight times inside her own home. UC Davis Chancellor Gary S. May and the UC Davis Black Law Student Association both cited these killings in statements released this week. “I, along with my black

colleagues, have to face the reality that the recurring incidents described above could happen to us, our relatives, and our friends at any given moment,” wrote Dominique Pope, the BLSA Internal Vice President. “This is a deep-rooted trauma that we are forced to grapple with on a daily basis.” “I lived in Georgia for nearly 30 years, where Ahmaud Arbery was hunted and killed,” May wrote. “George Floyd could have been any African American man, including me.” UC Davis Police Chief Joe Farrow and City of Davis Police Chief Darren Pytel also released a statement following Floyd’s death, which was captured in a widely circulated video. “We want the entire Davis and UC Davis community to know that what we saw was unacceptable and that we train and demand that our officers do much better,” wrote Farrow and Pytel.

Don’t let them catch you

More than one way to play golf

know that pretty much the only reason I use this space is to write about either soccer or golf, but in my defense, I wouldn’t want to deprive my 10 loyal readers by speaking on matters I don’t understand that well. And with everything opening back up, it feels like we’re so close to having regular sports return — albeit in an irregular way. Yet, until something pops up that really intrigues me, soccer and golf it is ... well, “kind of ” with the latter. During a Zoom meeting last week for my other job, my friend Cris called in from his car seat wearing a polo shirt and sunglasses. Questions were asked, naturally, and it turned out he was on his way to the links and, because I wanted to live vicariously through him, I texted Cris later in the day to ask if he had any birdies. Listen, Cris is not what you would call a good golfer. Mostly because he’s a human and there are so few humans who are good at golf (see: Brady, Tom). So I was surprised to find out that not only had he managed multiple birdies, but an eagle as well. I called to find out the details — in my six or so years of golf, I’ve only witnessed three eagles, so I had to know how it happened, what he was feeling. I needed fodder for my dreams.

hen he told me about how well he kicked the ball off of the tee box and I was immediately not impressed with my former semi-professional soccer player friend. He was playing footgolf. (Footgolf is a sport in which players kick a spherical soccer ball into a cup in as few shots as possible. A hybrid of football and real golf.) I mean, even I have eagled in footgolf and I’m not half the soccer player that Cris is. But it did get me thinking of how I could better spend some of my free afternoons if I didn’t want to play real golf and still can’t play actual soccer. No, I haven’t made it out to any of the footgolf courses in the area yet, though I highly recommend them as the barrier of entry is low and playing 18 holes isn’t nearly as time consuming, or as costly, as golf with sticks. Instead, I roped my roommates into hitting up the local Frisbee golf course across the street from Trader Joe’s. What started with me just ordering a few discs on Amazon — then picking up a few more at Big 5 — has turned into a nightly ritual. Davis’ disc links are relatively easy: only holes seven and nine are a huge challenge, but they remain fun as well. So every night when the sun starts to set, we take our brightly colored Frisbees out and just have a walk while throwing them with varying results. This obsession has spilled over

Davis woman goes for it on ‘Ultimate Tag’ BY BRUCE GALLAUDET

Davis High graduate Vanessa Goh, left, races to elude tagger Brooke “The Boss” Ence on “Ultimate Tag.” The episode airs Wednesday, June 3, on FOX.

Enterprise sports editor Who knew you could travel the world playing quiddich or flag football? For Vanessa Goh, a 2009 graduate of Davis High, both sports have allowed the personable and tough-as-nails 28-yearold to traverse afar — and most recently become one of a handful of competitors on the new Fox television series “Ultimate Tag.” Goh is a sustainability planner for ACEOM, an architecture and engineering firm with offices in San Francisco. She recently returned to Davis in anticipation of “working with the city ... helping it do their climate-action plan, which is really cool because I grew up here.” Once the city OKs the budget to create greenhouse-gas assessment and provide climatechange mitigation plans, Goh could be in town even longer than this COVID-19 lockdown demands. Temporarily, Goh is she’s staying with her parents, Karen

Carberry-Goh and Kean Goh. “I love my parents and I really love Davis,” the UCLA and Harvard Extension School graduate explained. “It’s nice to go out on a bike ride and it’s not supercrowded and there’s lots of nature — and I get free food from my parents, every day, which is amazing.” Goh was always a good athlete. At Davis High, she excelled at lacrosse and played junior

varsity basketball and club soccer. When she got to UCLA, she began playing a brand of quiddich that would have earned a wand at Hogwarts. “I got hooked on that,” Goh remembered. “It was super-fun. That really got me into contact sports, really physical sports.” (Quiddich, for you uninformed Muggles, requires teams to keep possession of the quaffle,

eventually throwing it through one of the opponent’s three hoops. In real-world quiddich, apparently the goal is to bag the tail of the snitch.) So good was Goh that she was named to the 2012 Team USA of the International Quiddich Association (look it up). She quickly went from make-believe to knock-you-out competition,

Guiding the next generation Smith’s heart, soul lift Aggies to new heights ■ Editor’s note: This is the first of a two-part chat with Davis High and UC Davis graduate Dwight Smith who continues at UCD as a studentathlete outcomes advisor.

BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor UC Davis outcomes adviser Dwight Smith has never strayed far from campus. And everywhere he’s gone in his adult life, it seems he’s supplied inspiration. As a kid, young Dwight would walk from his house on Miller Drive to Toomey Field for Aggie football games. He’d hang out under the rickety stands, benefitting from the traditional candy handouts. Then he’d stand by as the UC Davis players came off the field. Hand shakes aplenty and an occasional autograph awaited. For Smith, the game, the players — the campus — were all once larger than life. Smith only dreamed of being an Aggie. When he came to Davis High in 2004, the determined young man worked his way into the Blue Devil fold as a wide receiver. Never an on-field game-changer as a prep, his coach Jim Johnson and teammates saw his value in being a leader, a confidant ... a guy you could lean on. After high school, Smith was headed to Sacramento City College. His football cleats were hung in the garage. But a conversation with family friend Mike Moroski — a

“It was a dream job, and coming full circle in the Aggie family.”

Bob Biggs until his graduation in 2012. He explained: “If it weren’t for those two conversations, I’d never have been at UCD, or have played football again.” “Dwight’s strength is that he’s a tremendous mentor for our younger players,” Biggs noted in a 2011 Enterprise article. “Dwight is the prototypical UCD player … that is, so unselfish. His playing time may or may not be limited based on how he proceeds. “But more importantly, he is willing to help young players who might be more skilled or more experienced playing than he is … yet he helps them get better. His leadership and mentorship are invaluable.” Smith’s mentoring didn’t stop when he left Davis. He worked for a time at Net Impact in Oakland. The 400-chapter, worldwide nonprofit works with “emerging leaders to build a more just and sustainable world,” explains its website. For Smith, it was a perfect first step from college to the real world. But his family remained in Davis and his heart pumped blue and gold ... He knew someday he’d return. In the meantime, Dwight’s deep faith brought him to ministry at an Elk Grove church (to which he was introduced by a former teammate). He mentored whomever asked. He also worked with ex-Aggie T.J. King at Beyond 12, a virtual coaching company for firstgeneration college, low-income kids trying to navigate school. But home was where the heart is, and as fond of Oakland as Smith was, every single turn he took seemed to say “head back to Davis.”

Putah Creek Reserve under pressure from visitors Special to The Enterprise During the coronavirus pandemic, the rural parts of the UC Davis campus have seen an influx of visitors seeking alternative recreation spots close to home — sometimes too many visitors and sometimes with adverse consequences. Officials say habitat is being damaged, agricultural research threatened and wildlife impacted in the Putah Creek Riparian Reserve and other areas of south and west campus. “The Putah Creek Riparian Reserve is a teaching and research natural area, first and foremost,” said Andrew Fulks, assistant director, UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden, the campus division that maintains and operates the reserve. “People are allowed in some areas for passive recreation, but they need to remember it isn’t a park, and human impacts hurt not only the environment, but active research and class use.” Increased public use has led to bank erosion where ropes have been hung from

tree limbs for swinging, as people climb up and down the banks to ride the swings. Anglers have cut down trees and bank vegetation to prevent fishing lines from being caught. Visitors, desperate to find parking, have blocked access roads and gates.

Snakes killed, bird boxes destroyed Perhaps most distressing are the wildlife impacts, with people observed destroying bird boxes that are part of the Putah Creek Nestbox Highway. Since the beginning of shelter-inplace orders, seven gopher snakes have been found with fatal wounds consistent with human-caused mortality. Citing instances of cars overflowing parking areas along the reserve, officials said temporary parking limits may need to be implemented to reduce the overall visitor impact. Officials also cited issues with people not maintaining physical distance from one another, and dogs being off-leash.

UC DAVIS/COURTESY PHOTO

Andrew Fulks, assistant director UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden, concerned about tree health and vandalism, assesses erosion damage caused by surge in visitors who add ropes, swings and ladders to trees on research land. “The amount of off-leash dog activity has exceeded anything I’ve seen before,” said JP Marie, reserve manager. “While dogs are generally allowed on the paths, they have to remain on leash, per Yolo County

code and UC Davis policy.”

Threat to research Officials also report increased dog-walking and jogger activity amid the agricultural lands of west

campus. For researchers and land managers, this presents increased difficulty in pest management, equipment operations and maintaining the quality of research in their areas. Unknowingly, visitors

disrupt ongoing sensitive research and instrumentation or potentially expose themselves to agricultural chemicals. “The safety of the public, the safety of our research staff, and the integrity of our research is important to UC Davis,” said Brad Hanson, a Cooperative Extension specialist, Department of Plant Sciences, and faculty chair of the Plant Science Field Committee, College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. For Dan Sehnert with the Department of Animal Science, the increased visitation has direct impacts on the animals under his care. “Since the COVID-19 shelter-in-place order, we’ve had casual visitors feeding sheep at the sheep barn, as well as their dogs distressing the sheep by getting too close to the pens,” he said. “This can cause the sheep to run into the fence and injure themselves, including breaking bones.” — UC Davis news

Two develop COVID-19 contact-tracing app Special to The Enterprise Computer scientists at the UC Davis, have developed a web-based contact-tracing application. The app, WeCare, allows users to check in at specific locations and notifies them if someone reporting themselves as positive for COVID-19 checks in at the same location within a certain time window. Until a vaccine is available and even beyond, contact tracing will play a key role in limiting the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and allowing the economy to reopen. It is particularly important with COVID-19 since transmission can occur in carriers before symptoms appear. In California, state officials have launched a statewideprogram to train and hire thousands of employees and volunteers to begin manual contact tracing. However, this is labor-intensive and costly — and to be effective, it must be done quickly. Digital platforms for mobile

devices have been developedbut raise concerns about privacy. Contacts can be traced by physical location using GPS or proximity via Bluetooth exchange. Companies like Google and Apple have said they would ban the use of location tracking in contact-tracing apps and are working together to develop a cross-platform system to notify people who have been near others who have tested positive for COVID-19.

Web-based contact tracing Prasant Mohapatra, vice chancellor for research and distinguished professor of computer science at UC Davis, and Vikram Rao, graduate student in the Department of Computer Science, developed We-Care as an alternative solution. The web-based contacttracing application allows

users to voluntarily check in to locations without sharing personal information with other devices. “The idea evolved from discussions Vikram and I had related to a crowd-sourced air-quality monitoring tool during the devastating wildfire season in California last year,” said Mohapatra. “The current pandemic provided us an opportunity to materialize those unfinished ideas.” We-Care is customizable and preserves different levels of privacy while leveraging crowd-sourced information exchanges. Unlike other app tracing tools, We-Care focuses on contacts within the frames of time and space. Devices are not tracked by any signaling protocols like cellular, GPS, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Here is the sequence describing how the application works: Create a profile in the app. We-Care can be used anonymously. When entering any building, business, venue,

Gallo to head UC Davis-based symposium BY KATHY KEATLEY GARVEY Special to The Enterprise Dr. Robert Gallo, worldrenowned virologist at the forefront of the AIDS epidemic and now targeting COVID-19, will headline the panelists at the next UC Davis-based COVID-19 Symposium, set for Wednesday, June 3. The online symposium, to focus primarily on vaccines, is the third in a series organized and moderated by UC Davis distinguished professor Walter Leal. It will take place from 5 to 7 p.m., Pacific Daylight Time, on Zoom and YouTube. Panelists will discuss: ■ Is the polio vaccine a solution? ■ Are the frontrunner vaccines safe and effective? If so, when might they be available? Gallo, who discovered that HIV causes AIDS, is a distinguished professor at the University of Maryland’s School of Medicine. He will be joined byDr. DeanBlumberg, professor and chief of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, UC Davis Health; andDr. Allison Brashear, dean of the UC Davis School of Medicine, among others. UC Davis Chancellor Gary Maywill deliver the welcoming address. Also interviewed will beDr. Atul Malhotra, professor of gedicine, pulmonology and Critical Care at UC San Diego Health, and Dr. Stuart H. Cohen, chief of the Division of Infectious

Diseases and director of Hospital Epidemiology and Infection Control, UC Davis School GALLO of Medicine Virologist (See program at https://bit.ly/2AgVbxY). Statewide Extension apiculturist Elina Lastro Niño, based in the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology is scheduled to share her expertise on bee venom, one of the possible COVID19 treatments suggested by researchers but not yet investigated. Retired UC Davis Medical Center nurse Carolyn Wyler of Sacramento, a passenger on the ill-fated Grand Princess cruise ship, will talk about her COVID-19 outbreak experiences from ship to shore. She and her husband were quarantined in their room for six days. They then spent 13 days in quarantine at Travis Air Force Base before being released. (Both tested negative.) A 71-year-old passenger on the same Grand Princess ship, but on a different cruise, was the first in California to succumb from the disease. Overall, two passengers and one crew member on the Grand Princess died, and 103 tested positive. The UC Davis symposium is free and open to the

public. To register, post questions, and to link to the list of panelists, access https://bit.ly/2B2YGZm. Among those asking questions will be Jennifer Cash, newest faculty member of the UC Davis College of Biological Sciences; Fred Gould, National Academy of Sciences member; UC Cooperative Extension advisor Surendra Dara; and University of Brasilia graduate student Raquel Silva. Leal is hosting the symposiums as a public service. The first symposium is online at https://bit.ly/ 2VurK3Z and the second is at https://bit.ly/3b8TAau.

restaurant, etc. — indoor or outdoor — you can “check in” by providing your location information. While leaving the venue, just click “check out.” The app can also check out automatically after a certain time. If and when you have symptoms, test positive or learn about being exposed to an infected person, you update your profile accordingly. You will receive an alert if the application receives any reports of potential exposure within the past seven days. Like any crowdsourced application, the accuracy and usefulness of this tool depends on the degree and information integrity of crowd collaboration.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

SUNDAY, MAY 31, 2020 B3

‘New normals’ come at us like rocket ships I ’ve never experienced “new normal” changing at this pace. Whether I think of living arrangements, travel, hygiene, shopping or my dreams, everything is changing at breakneck speed. On March 4, after Covid-19 cases surfaced in Alameda and Sonoma Counties and on cruise ships, Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency in California. Two weeks later, on March 19, he gave the order to shelter at home. During the two weeks between his first and second declarations, my Google calendar reminds me about my activities. ———— On Thursday, March 5, my husband and I travel to San Francisco clutching our precious, long-held tickets to “Hamilton.” We carry hand sanitizer, reassuring ourselves that we’ll be fine. When we enter the theater for what turns out to be sixth-to-last performance, the place is packed. On Sunday, March 8, we travel in the other direction, to Folsom, to see “Chicago” at the Harris Center. We notice that people who greet each other don’t kiss or shake hands, but attendance is good. I see only two empty seats. We happen to return to the Harris Center on Monday,

March 9, for a lecture. Again it is full. I have since learned that San Francisco’s Orpheum Theatre seats 2,203 and Folsom’s Harris Center seats 850. This means I sat in close quarters for two hours or longer with 3,903 people during the birth of a pandemic. My husband and I thought we were making reasonable decisions. We didn’t feel we were flouting the new normal, but unwittingly we fell behind. When we went to dinner at a Chinese restaurant, no other diners were there. ———— Our risk-taking, which I wouldn’t have called risk-taking at the time, doesn’t stop. On March 10, my husband buys some direct-to-consumer meat at a farm, and on March 11 we both participate in Yolo Hospice’s annual fundraiser at the Buckhorn Restaurant in Winters, where attendance is

only slightly diminished. We carpool with others and sit in close proximity. We talk about “the new normal” but we don’t rush home. The next day, my husband lunches in San Francisco with 25 retirement-age fishing club buddies who greet each other with elbow bumps, laughing a little, believing they’re doing the right thing, being careful — and cool. On March 13, President Trump declares a national emergency. After that, and especially after the March 19 stay-at-home order in California, my husband and I finally cancel plans. ———— When I think about our behavior early in the pandemic, I almost can’t believe it. We thought we were making good choices, but in retrospect, each step we took was deficient — and late. Barreling in at top speed, the “new normal” got ahead of us. We believed spokespeople who said masks were unnecessary. We certainly didn’t feel naked without one, as I do now when people are within 6 feet of me. I’ve changed so drastically since early March that I’m skittish when I see people shake hands — even if they are actors on TV in an old show from the ’90s. Keeping a distance has

become so normal to me that when I conjure up iconic movie moments, like George Bailey’s family gathering around the Christmas tree in the final scenes of “It’s a Wonderful Life,” I shudder. I had my first COVID-19 dream last week. In it, my husband meets someone new and bends forward eagerly to shake his hand. “No, no!” I scream. “You’re forgetting everything!” ———— Another rapidly changing new normal is Zoom. How many people had even heard of Zoom in February? Now everyone has experience. This is where the new normal has worked for me, in a positive direction. My daughter and her husband came up with a new role for their children’s grandparents, including me, all of whom live 3000 miles away. Each of us gets half an hour a week to be “teachers” on Zoom. In this way, my grandsons, ages 8 and 10, have been receiving enthusiastic instruction in topics ranging from astronomy to knot-tying, from puzzles to poetry. My first unit, which I titled “How to Interview People,” ran for six weeks and included live interviews. My new unit involves inventing games for Zoom. We began

by taking screen shots of our best silly faces, an excellent amusement although I need to tell you that it’s hard to hold your finger up your nose and press three keys for a screen shot at the same moment. I love my class sessions with my grandsons, not for their educational value, but because I want us to have a good time together. I drink in their lovely, mobile faces and lively, active arms during our Zoom talks and I just want to hug them like crazy. This makes my heart ache, another new normal, that will continue until I get to be with them again. ———— I didn’t live through World War II, but the changes I did experience during my life took time to establish themselves. I observed “new normals” like hippie culture, the end of the Cold War and the computer age. People studied these things and wrote about them. Now everything seems to happen so fast. Is the new normal a change to a newer normal every two weeks? — Marion Franck has lived in Davis for more than 40 years. Reach her at marionf2@gmail. com.

Despite hardships, it’s a special quinceañera year T P I n the past four years, Thriving Pink has made a tremendous positive impact to help thousands of local breast cancer survivors thrive. Critical programs, including professionally facilitated workshops, outreach programs, individual financial grants, and peer mentorship programs, continue to serve this special community of many local women and their families in Yolo County. Our commitment to serve local breast cancer survivors remains steadfast through it all, even in these uncertain times. Thank you to our generous supporters and this amazing community for embracing our cause. With hearts full of gratitude, we want to take a moment to share one special story below of a mother and daughter living in Davis. One of our recent grant recipients, Dannelle Larsen-Rife, is a 50-yearold single mother and a Stage IV breast cancer survivor. “The difficult news from my doctor three years ago was so unexpected,” she said, “and then my world turned upside-down even more when my husband of 30 years left our family a few months later. Through all this, my children and this community have really helped me find my footing.” Her daughter, Caroline, understands her mother is at high-risk during this time and decided to celebrate her quinceañera this coming fall. “I just turned 15 this month,” Caroline said, “but it was impossible to invite

The adjustment isn’t too hard for me though because I enjoy spending quality time with my mom. She works as a professor to teach students, and homeschools all of us as well. I want people to know that she is incredibly strong and determined — and she does so much to support me and my two brothers (10 and 17). “I really love this neighborhood because I am free to be myself — I feel so supported,” Caroline added. “I’ll be interning at a nearby hair salon and volunteering with the local nonprofit Thriving Pink.” Caroline opens a handmade heart quilt to admire the colorful pink and lavender pastels, she said, “I just received this really thoughtful birthday gift from the Thriving Pink volunteer group Stitches of Love. This community has really supported us in so many ways. “For my Quinceañera celebration, I will be wearing a pretty periwinkle dress which my Mom helped me to pick-out for a special dance that night. There are several important family and cultural traditions which I want to honor, including a special dance with those you hold most dear and love the most — I will be dancing with my Mom. My brothers can join us, of course!” Dannelle, smiled and

That’s really what we’ve been doing these past few years. As a single mother with a serious breast cancer diagnosis, I am very aware how precious this time is for my children and the value of the memories they will have with me. “Like many others going through a difficult illness, I have also faced a growing pile of medical bills,” Dannelle said. “I am grateful to

the many local businesses and individuals who have made generous donations to Thriving Pink to help sustain their meaningful programs and their financial grants that have helped so many women, including myself, with transportation, rent, groceries, medical bills and other immediate needs. Thank you for being there for us and so many other families!” Thriving Pink has many community partners to thank for their generous donations this past year.

Crisis freezes ambitious agenda

Support for Paul’s Place in Davis

BY ROBB DAVIS AND MARTY WEST Special to The Enterprise

arge or small, urban or rural, communities nationwide are striving to address the growing impacts of homelessness on public resources, businesses, neighborhoods, and — most of all — those who are suffering. Unfortunately, Davis is not immune to the human tragedy and complex challenges of people struggling to live with extreme poverty and precarious housing. This crisis has become even more significant during our current virus pandemic. The number of people at significant risk for long-term homelessness continues to grow in our community. In January 2019, the most recent Yolo County Pointin-Time Count reported more than 190 folks seeking shelter in Davis, a 20% increase in the city’s homeless population since 2017. Yet Davis Community Meals and Housing’s (DCMH) primary intake and resource facility at 1111 H Street in Davis — which serves more than 900 people annually — is more than 70 years old, was never designed for such intensive use, and is rapidly deteriorating at a time when homeless services are more critical than ever. Fortunately, DCMH, in partnership with the nonprofit Davis Opportunity Village (DOVe) and local business and community leaders have united to create Paul’s Place: a new, innovative multi-functional facility designed by local architect Maria Ogrydziak. Paul’s Place will replace the current outmoded building with a modern, attractive, creative, and more efficient facility to provide critical day services, health and human resources, emergency shelter, transitional housing and 18 permanent supportive apartments to people living homeless in Davis. Featuring an innovative, vertical micro-housing approach, Paul’s Place will move more people from homelessness to housing. Led by campaign chairs Reed and Susan Youmans, with significant support from Partnership HealthPlan of California, and a wide range of business and community leaders, we have successfully raised $2.5 million in private funding to match the generous $2.5 million grant from Sutter Health for the $5 million cost of construction for Paul’s Place. On May 13, the city of Davis Planning Commission unanimously approved the plans for Paul’s Place. The request for final approval will come before the Davis City Council on June 2. We hope you will join us in supporting this important and creative project, a first step in providing housing for some of the most vulnerable people living in our midst.

s a long-time community members, addressing the critical issues of poverty and the crisis of homelessness in Davis is a personal passion of ours. We know this is a community that cares for others and fights for what’s right. We’ve heard the call to “do something” from compassionate people who are frustrated by what they are seeing in our downtown, neighborhoods and parks. And we’ve seen Davis lead other communities with innovation and efficacy when tackling even the toughest challenges. Paul’s Place is a critical part of our community’s response to address this daunting local, regional, state and national problem. We’ve studied the issue extensively and truly believe that Paul’s Place is a creative community-based project that can be replicated by others as we in Davis show how this approach can work. — Robb Davis was elected to the Davis City Council in 2014 and served as mayor from 2016 to 2018.

f one can muster sympathy for politicians, the Democrats who dominate California’s Capitol might be worthy recipients. As the year began, the political and economic stars seemed to be in perfect alignment for them and their sycophantic allies, such as unions and advocates of health insurance for undocumented immigrants, expanding early childhood care and pre-school education, reducing homelessness, more generous social welfare benefits, and lower-cost college education. The state’s economy was booming, generating many extra billions of dollars in tax revenues and Jerry Brown, who had been something of a skinflint as governor, had been succeeded by Gavin Newsom, who had ambitious plans to expand statefinanced benefits. Brown had ended his twopart, 16-year governorship with a semi-serious warning about California facing “darkness, decline, uncertainty and recession” in the years ahead. But Newsom, with an obvious yen for national political standing, assumed that California’s economic boom would continue indefinitely. He

proposed a 2020-21 budget that was a cornucopia of new and expanded programs to confront poverty, homelessness and other social ills. “California is stronger than ever today, and the budget found in the pages ahead reflects our fortitude,” Newsom wrote as he unveiled the $222 billion budget. “Our state has provided the rocket fuel for the nation’s economic expansion. We are the world’s capital of innovation. We have more people with access to health care and higher education than any other state. California is showing the nation and the world what big-hearted, effective governance looks like.” Within two months, however, as California began to feel the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, Newsom had declared an emergency, ordered a shutdown of much of the state’s $3.1 trillion economy and tossed his

LETTERS We were thrilled with the lovely photo of the historic Davis Community Church on the front page of The Davis Enterprise on Wednesday, June 27. Our concern is that the photo and caption gave the impression that the church is holding worship services in the sanctuary on Sunday. It is not. The leadership of Davis Community Church is just beginning to assess the best course for gathering again. Concerned above all for public safety, we are taking measures to ensure the health and wellbeing of our congregation and community. We are in no hurry to unnecessarily expose people to disease. Our leaders are keeping a close eye on public health recommendations and the best science available. It could be months before we open the church to in-person gatherings. For now, and for the benefit of the common good, we will continue to practice “social distancing” and will gather online on YouTube and Facebook Live. The congregation continues to be very active in providing mutual care and support, especially for those who are living alone or physically vulnerable, and food distribution to people who are foodinsecure. We are living in hope toward

hose adversely affected by the revised budget are pleading with their friends in the Legislature to modify the spending cuts, resulting in hours of criticism during an extraordinary “committee of the whole” session of the state Assembly last week. However, as they express sympathy, lawmakers have little choice unless they can muster two-thirds votes for massive new taxes of some kind. The most important aspect of the situation, however, is that the severe recession, which has erased several million jobs, is likely to continue beyond 2020-21. In fact, Newsom’s revised budget sees the impact lasting at least through his first term. “Personal income is not expected to return to 2019 levels until 2023,” the budget

PTA honors seniors The Davis Senior High School PTA annually recognizes four graduating seniors who have contributed to improving our local or high school community. This award is not a college scholarship and can be used for any purpose to help a graduate begin their next steps.

The strength and breadth of applicants is a direct reflection of the DHS families and staff. It was a challenge to select only four recipients and we wish we had a budget to include everyone. The following four applicants represent our mission of connecting and engaging students at DHS. Wentao C. helped create positive change on campus and engaged peers with a “Super Smash Bros.” club.

says. “In comparison, personal income fell by 3.3% during the Great Recession and recovered to 2007 levels by 2011. The forecast projects the impacts of the pandemic on personal income and its components to be larger in magnitude and in percentages compared to the Great Recession.” State revenue will follow the same lackluster pattern, Newsom projects. “Total general fund revenues from (income, sales and corporate taxes) are expected to drop from $139.4 billion in 201819 to a low point of $114 billion in 2020-21. By 2023-24, it will only have grown to $128 billion,” his budget says. With budget deficits projected for years to come, the expansive agenda Newsom and legislators desire will likely be stymied at least until mid-decade. They must tell their friends no now and for the foreseeable future — a very different scenario than what they had envisioned just weeks ago. — CalMatters is a public interest journalism venture committed to explaining how California’s state Capitol works and why it matters.

Due to the virus, Rotary Clubs in Davis are receiving increasing numbers of requests for local and international service projects, plus many local businesses are in serious trouble. The net proceeds from the BBQ will support some of those needs, in addition to helping a local business, namely our caterer, Tommy J’s. Special thanks go to the city of Davis, which allowed us to set up meal pick up stations on Second Street and to The Davis Enterprise, which printed our BBQ publicity on short notice.

SUNDAY, MAY 31, 2020 B5

Dick Luna on why Davis is such a gem I have known Dick Luna for a long time. He has lived in Davis for 51 years. He is an accomplished jeweler, a philanthropist, a Latino activist and an astute businessman. Let’s get better acquainted with Dick. Robin: Where were you born? Dick: I was born in Jemez Pueblo, N.M., as Richard Luna. I grew up there also. Tell us about your family. I have one older brother. He recently shared with me the results from one of the ancestry websites. We are 38% Native American, as well as Spanish, Lebanese and Greek. That was news to us! I have longevity in my family as well. My father lived to be 95 and my mother passed away a couple of years ago at the age of 102. My brother is very accomplished. He was lieutenant governor of New Mexico. He has also served on the school board and planning commission and as a county supervisor of Belen, N.M. — one of the “Great Green Chile Capitals” in New Mexico. I met my wife, Kyoko, through the jewelry business. De Luna Jewelers was one of Kyoko’s accounts. She was a wholesaler of pearl jewelry. We have been married for 21 years. How did you decide to open your jewelry business, De Luna Jewelers, in Davis? I liked California and wanted to stay here. I came to Davis in 1967. I had some training in the Army where I learned about jewelry retail and manufacturing at a pawn shop. I also had run a jewelry store in Northern California and knew I wanted to open a jewelry store of my own. I had driven around

California to see which towns I liked best. Davis had a lot of potential. I observed the downtown area to see the traffic, walking and biking patterns in the day time and evening. It was pedestrian-friendly and fairly busy, which is what you want for a downtown business. It felt vibrant because of all the students. How did you acquire the building for De Luna Jewelers? I got lucky. Just as I was looking for a site for the jewelry store, the Brinleys were wanting to knock down one of their old houses on the corner of Second and E streets. They wanted to build a commercial building in its place. I offered to rent the new exterior shell and design and build the interior as a jewelry store. They made a deal that worked for both of us. (John) Brinley built the building shell and I built showcases, cabinets, work space, display space, repair area and retail space. We moved into the new jewelry store in July 1968. The Chamber of Commerce had a grand opening ceremony, welcoming De Luna Jewelers to downtown Davis. We were in the same building until I retired and closed the business in 2016. That was 48 years as De Luna Jewelers. It is now the location for Philz Coffee. What is retirement like? I keep very busy. When I

This includes two jewelry stores in Davis, Lu’Ro Jewelers on Fifth Street and Bella Luna Jewelers on F Street. The third is a jewelry store in Folsom. Each of these jewelry store owners worked for me and were mentored by me; some for over 15 years. I enjoy still helping them out. You can see me in the two Davis stores occasionally working behind the counter or

greeting customers. This attention to training new jewelers is important to me. It was my policy to always try to hire people who needed a boost, who needed a job and wanted to learn a new skill. This policy resulted in many employees working with me at De Luna Jewelers for years. You are also known as a generous philanthropist. Tell us about that. I believe in giving back. I always supported local nonprofits,

particularly health and social services organizations. I also gave every year to the scholarship fund for the Yolo County Concilio fundraiser. I was active in the Kiwanis Club; I was president for one year. I also was on the board of the Davis Chamber of Commerce and was president for one year. I worked to encourage Chamber members to be more philanthropic. I strongly believed that we should all give back to the community that supports our businesses. I believe that I contributed to my fellow business owners increasing their support for local charities and causes. What else keeps you busy now? Kyoko and I are active in St. James Catholic Church. Kyoko oversees the landscaping for the church grounds. She also provides flowers for the altar for regular services. We also like to travel, especially in Central and South America and Mexico. We have also travelled extensively in Europe. What do you like most about living in Davis? Davis is a friendly town. People are interested in each other. They are informed and aware of current issues, like climate change. “It’s a great little town.” Dick, it has been a pleasure talking with you. You are a witty, charming gentleman. And you have so many interesting stories to tell. Thank you for all your contributions to Davis. —Robin Affrime is a longtime resident of Davis and a recently retired health care executive.

Poem of the month Be Not Defeated by the Rain Be not defeated by the rain, Nor let the wind prove your better. Succumb not to the snows of winter. Nor be bested by the heat of summer.

Hold the learned lessons dear. A thatch-roof house, in a meadow, nestled in a pine grove’s shade. A handful of rice, some miso, and a few vegetables to suffice for the day. If, to the East, a child lies sick: Go forth and nurse him to health. If, to the West, an old lady stands exhausted: Go forth, and relieve her of burden. If, to the South, a man lies dying: Go forth with words of courage to dispel his fear. If, to the North, an argument or fight ensues: Go forth and beg them stop such a waste of effort and of spirit.

In times of drought, shed tears of sympathy. In summers cold, walk in concern and empathy. Stand aloof of the unknowing masses: Better dismissed as useless than flattered as a “Great Man”. This is my goal, the person I strive to become. — Kenji Miyazawa (1896-1933) ———— Kenji Miyazawa died quite young and largely unknown, his fiction, poetry and children’s stories sketch an ecological vision well ahead of its time. Drawing on his training as a scientist and a practitioner of Buddhism, Miyazawa developed a vision of interdependence among all forms of life at all times. His most famous books were published after his death from pneumonia at age 37. A half-century after his death he was known as one of Japan’s greatest writers. I chose this poem because of the troubled times we now face with this pandemic. To remain strong and steadfast, kind and helpful, looking out for each other and for our community is what we need to see this through. I found these words to be uplifting and full of resolve. Please know that I wish you all good health. Davis will go on. — James Lee Jobe, Davis Poet Laureate

A vote for Vogt as player-manager N

obody asked me, but ... ■ Once whatever becomes of the 2020 MLB season is over, some club should get creative and hire Diamondbacks catcher Stephen Vogt as player-manager. Vogt is off-the-charts whip smart when it comes to day-today baseball, and probably has a year, or maybe two, left behind the plate. Pete Rose was the most recent to play and manage, from 198486 with Cincinnati. Another was Frank Robinson in Cleveland (1975-76). One of Robinson’s players was Duane Kuiper. ■ MLB Negotiations, 2020: Each side, owners then players, make outlandish proposals they each know the other side won’t remotely accept. This creates a “framework” from which to go forward. More days pass, more proposals are exchanged. Any that even faintly smell like “salary cap” will be rejected out

of hand by the players. ■ The A’s are the first of what could be several MLB teams to discontinue the $400 monthly stipends paid to minor leaguers during the COVID-19 crisis. Others, notably the Kansas City Royals, are not stopping said payments. Every MLB player was once a minor leaguer, many living hand-to-mouth at the beginning of their careers. So, any surprise why current players have a healthy distrust of ownership? ■ What the players really want: A thorough, comprehensive examination of the owners’ books. ■ What the players won’t get: A thorough, comprehensive examination of the owners’ books. ■ I wish recent Baseball Hall of Famer and ex-MLB executive director Marvin Miller was still alive so we could hear his takes on the current negotiations. ■ One very important reason

why baseball needs to be played: So Dusty Baker (now with the Houston Astros) gets a chance to manage in a World Series. ■ Without a lot of fanfare, the NFL’s one-year-old passinterference-rule experiment came to an end on Thursday. An outgrowth of the controversial (and highly criticized) non-call that likely cost the 2018 Saints a berth in the Super Bowl, the rule could never definitively identify what was (and wasn’t) interference. The rule — which allowed coaches’ challenges on PI calls and non-calls — put the New York replay officials in mostly

untenable positions all of last season. Mike Pereira, current FOX Sports rules analyst told the AP, “I think the real case was the fact they used a different standard in replay than they did on the field, and that was where everybody got lost.” ■ The Sharks will not play anymore this season. It behooves a smart organization like theirs to concentrate on 2020-21 in several areas, notably better health for Erik Karlsson, who takes up a huge chunk of the player payroll. In addition, a return to form for goaltender Martin Jones, whose play this past, abbreviated season, was subpar. ■ The man who could transform Jones from where he is to where he was? Goalie coach and former Sharks all-star Evgeni Nabokov. ■ John F. Kennedy would have been 103 years old last Friday. Our country changed

dramatically the day he was killed. ■ Lastly, one of America’s great sports journalists (and a close friend of mine for 37 years), Chris Dufresne left us this past Monday at a way-tooyoung 62 years of age. Chris wrote for the Los Angeles Times for 35 years, much of it covering the USFL, Rams, Raiders and college football. He knew the college football industry better than anyone, and did so with an inclusive style, no matter who you were or who you worked for. In other words, he never “big-timed” anyone. I and my many sorrowful colleagues will miss him in ways too many to count. — Doug Kelly is director of communcations for Battlefields2Ballfields and managing general partner of Kelly & Associates.

It’s a Noble family effort for Aggies Siblings bolster water polo squad BY EMILY BYRNE Special to The Enterprise Davis is known for its college environment and small-town feel. The surroundings are attractive to families. At UC Davis, folks often follow a relative who’s already established on campus. One such sibling dream team is Aggie water polo goalie Sophia Noble and her brother, assistant coach Daniel. San Clemente High graduate Sophia, now a sophomore, has had some awe-inspiring games in her short time at UCD. With a jaw-dropping 17 saves in an upset over No. 7 Michigan on Feb. 7, Noble etched her name in the school record books (it marked the second-best Aggie single-game save performance). One of the secrets to her success? The Aggie’s new assistant coach, her brother. Daniel Noble has always been passionate about water polo. He played at Saddleback Junior College before his high school coach asked him if he wanted to help mentor the Triton Water Polo Club in San Clemente. “It was a great opportunity for me to develop my coaching skills. That first job helped me realize

The UCD women’s water polo team features the sibling duo of Daniel (assistant coach) and Sophia (goalie) Noble. how much I loved coaching and that I wanted to make a career out of it,” said Daniel. Along the way, Daniel had helped coach Sophia for years, well before they both arrived in Davis. “He has always given me pointers. He used to come with me to my private goalie training, get in the water and give me tips and tricks when we were going through the drills,” said psychology major Sophia. So far, Daniel’s favorite part of coaching Sophia is watching her

grow as a player and as a person. “It’s kind of interesting to see; I am not always directly involved,” said Daniel. “I kind of try to stay in the background and get to see her grow as an athlete.” When all UCD sports shut down in March due to COVID-19, Davis was 8-12 and playing some of its best water polo. “It was fun to see all of her hard work come together. She’s still improving, which is exciting for the future,” said big brother For Sophia, she loves being

coached by Daniel. “Just the fact that, since we are close, he calls me out whenever I am not doing something correctly. I feel like he can read me very well, he is much more direct with me than any other coach I have had, and I love that,” Sophia pointed out. “He can snap me out of stuff; I feel like most other coaches sometimes have to tiptoe around things because they aren’t as close with their players, but Daniel is very straightforward with me. He knows the game well, he has always

had great advice for me and whatever situation I am in.” “We play off the sibling thing well; we just know each other,” said Daniel. As for the most challenging part of being coached by Daniel, Sophia never felt like there were ever any difficulties in adjusting to their now formal coach-player relationship. “The only thing is knowing that he is my brother. I would like to get even more advice from him, but I have to recognize that he has to balance and coach everyone else on the team, too, meaning he can’t prioritize me. So that was kind of a different adjustment from how he coached me in high school,” said Sophia. The Nobles feel that their relationship strengthens the team while making the familial bond that much stronger. Daniel said, “When you have a team, you want that team almost to be a second family. So having family members on a team makes that second family even closer. I think part of the reason you see a lot of family members following siblings, or parents, to Davis is that it gives younger siblings a chance to see how cool Davis is when they come to check out what their family member has going on in Davis.” Daniel came to Davis in 2017 to help with the Davis Water Polo Club before getting a coaching gig with the Aggies last year.

TAG: Goh excels at contact sports REAM: Just stay active From Page B1 playing tackle football for a couple of years before settling on a more demure gridiron, flag football. She’s still a member of both her Los Angeles-based team, The SheUnit, and the Women’s Flag Football Network USA traveling team. You can figure out from all that experience why the producers of “Ultimate Tag” saw the value in contracting with Goh. The show’s producers had called one of Goh’s flag football teams, asking if any members might be interested in being on the show. Even though Goh was in Boston attending Harvard, the captain suggested that the producer call Vanessa. After two Skype interviews and a phone call, the show flew Goh back to Los Angeles for taping in April of 2019.

The new series, filmed at the Warner Brothers Studios in Burbank, offers one man and one woman $10,000 each episode if they ring up the most points in a set of various tag games. Vanessa’s episode, the second of the season, can be seen this Wednesday on Fox, Hulu or the Fox NOW app. “It’s basically running through a bunch of obstacles — like a huge, adult jungle gym — while being chased by this incredibly (physically fit) athletic person (appropriately called a tagger),” laughed Goh, who promised she escaped unscathed, but had no comment about whether she walked away with the 10 grand. “I didn’t get hurt at all,” she reported. “I got some bruises, but overall I was totally fine. I’ve played tackle football in the past ... “Some other competitors? They did get hurt, so it was pretty

scary for those who weren’t used to contact.” NFL-playing brothers J.J., Derek and T.J. Watt host the one-hour weekly outing. So what does Goh see in her athletic future? “Football is definitely my main sport,” the secondary maven who also plays wideout told The Enterprise. OK, then. So what’s her favorite thing to do, intercept a pass or score a touchdown? After some thought, “Score a touchdown,” came the reply. Now, local fans can root for her to put more points on the board on Wednesday’s “Ultimate Tag.” And maybe stick $10,000 in her pocket at the same time. — Reach sport editor Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet41@ gmail.com or call 530-3204456.

From Page B1 to possible house play and plans to branch out as well. Not only did some of my roommates and I watch the same YouTube video about some guy shooting 18-under par, but we’ve made tentative plans to add a basket to the backyard to practice putting and have discussed trips to courses in Woodland and Vacaville. The extra competition is great, but what I like about it more is the community aspect. I’ve gotten to know my roommates better through throwing a Frisbee and have run into several people I know while doing so. The other day, as we were about to tee off on the dreaded hole seven, two people yelled at me from across the park: two of my friends from the local soccer

league who I haven’t seen in months. We set a date to go kick a ball around, something I’ve attempted just once during COVID-19. For some people it’s walking their dog or going on a run that gives them the sense of community and human-to-human contact that we’ve all been missing. For me, apparently, it’s any kind of golf. Whatever it is, find that thing for you, especially if a second wave of coronavirus is on the horizon. After all, probably the worst that can happen is that you’ll pick up another healthy hobby to keep your mind and body active. — Evan Ream’s column publishes on Sundays.

NEXT: A tweet by UCD AD Kevin Blue rerouted Smith’s career path From Page B1 But how? During his time at UCD, Smith and teammate Bobby Erskine would have long conversations about how colleges could better assist athletes transitioning from school life to a meaningful career. Smith told The Enterprise, “A lot of our football buddies were graduating, but really struggling” to find their real-world footholds. Erskine and Smith, who concurred that the Davis campus provided outstanding support, still

believed something was missing. Smith had stayed in touch with Aggie alumni, plugged into any UC Davis social media he could find. At the same time, he met the love of his life, Yodit, through a conference staged by Net Impact. One day, there it was ... An alert from Twitter: “It was Kevin Blue, he was just named athletic director,” remembered Smith. “When he came on (at UCD) he was doing a listening tour and put out a tweet to Bay Area alums who wanted to grab coffee, talk.”

Part II

Smith talks about the EVO program and how having a framework for student-athlete assistance results in defining differences.

Friday, June 5, edition

King and Smith were quick to respond to Blue. They met at a little café in the Temescal District of Oakland. “We traded ideas,” Smith explained. “I think that’s how I got on his radar.” At little over two years ago,

EVO, the relatively new career couinseling program introduced by Blue, became reality at UC Davis. Mike Lorenzen was hired as senior associate athletics director for student-athlete outcomes, and the division blossomed. “One thing led to another,” Smith said. Lorenzen called to weigh Smith’s interest in joining the program. “It was a kind of leap of faith because it was a career-path shift. It was a dream job, and coming full circle in the Aggie family ... being newlyweds and having my

family here in Davis. “My wife and I prayed about it, and it made sense.” Notes: Bobby Erskine, the former Aggie linebacker, is the senior territory manager at Boston Scientific. His company works on “innovative medical solutions” and has recently turned its attention at 12 sites to produce face masks in 40 states. ... King, the brilliant WR for UCD, is a sports management graduate student at the University of San Francisco. He also teaches and coaches at his alma mater, Bishop O’Dowd High.
