discussion on local use-of-force protocols, saying while Davis officers haven’t used carotid control holds in decades — relying instead upon de-escalation, crisis intervention and other force alternatives — it remained on the books as a potential use of deadly force.

The technique renders a person unconscious by blocking the arteries on the sides of the neck that lead to the brain.

“There are times when officers have to engage a person in physical combat, and they’re unable to get to other tools or equipment they have, such as a

Bars, gyms, day camps and schools are on the list of activities the state announced Friday will be cleared to open as early as June 12.

But there will be no green light in Yolo County until health officials here review the guidelines and give the go-ahead, the county announced Friday.

“The county is proceeding through the reopening with a thoughtful and methodical approach to help maintain low cases of coronavirus disease and ensure continued attestation approval by the state while keeping public health and safety a top priority,” according to a county press release.

The health order issued by the county late last month requires that Health Officer Dr. Ron Chapman review newly released activities and guidelines prior to allowing resumption of those activities locally.

Chapman is expected to issue local updates and guidance this week.

According to the state announcement, schools; day camps; music, film and television production; and professional sports without live audience can be cleared to open statewide beginning June 12.

Davis PD changes course, bans neck hold

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Davis Police Chief Darren Pytel announced an amendment to his department’s useof-force policy, banning neck holds as a permitted restraint technique in the wake of George Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis police officers.

Floyd’s May 25 killing while being restrained face-down by the neck “has caused the public, community leaders, elected officials and law-enforcement officers across the nation to re-examine their use of force policies to ensure they meet the most contemporary best practices, ensure the safety of the

Mailboxes to get security update

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Several South Davis neighborhoods are poised to receive new centralized mailboxes, weeks after residents of the Willowcreek and Woodbridge areas reported having theirs breached and raided of mail and packages.

“We’re going to be upgrading to the newer, high-security mailboxes that are a lot harder to defeat,” Jeff Fitch, spokesman for the U.S. Postal Inspection Service’s San Francisco division, told The Davis Enterprise on Friday, more than a month after residents first reported the repeated mail thefts.

Fitch declined to go into detail about the new mailboxes’ security features to avoid educating potential thieves, saying only they have “a number of different levels” of defense that will help keep future break-ins

public and guide officers to come to reasonable outcomes in even the most dangerous of circumstances,” Pytel said in a three-page statement released late Saturday afternoon.

Read the statement at https://www.davisenterprise. com/files/2020/06/DavisPolice-Ban-Carotid-Hold.pdf.

Now, the policy reads: “Due to the potential for inflicting unintended serious bodily injury, officers shall not use chokeholds, strangleholds, lateral vascular neck restraints, carotid restraints, chest compressions, or any other tactics that restrict oxygen or blood flow to the head or neck.”

“This policy change reflects the strong thoughts and public demand for change in contemporary policing today. It also reflects changes to basic academy training that is being immediately implemented by order of the governor,” Pytel said.

On Friday, Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered that carotid-hold restraints be removed from statewide law-enforcement training policies, saying it and other strangleholds “put people’s lives at risk.”

Pytel’s announcement comes five days after he raised public concerns during a Police Accountability Commission

Keeping it quiet while we’re in church

I

n his much-anticipated “guidelines” for the resumption of church services, Gov. Newsom provided a number of common sense recommendations to help mitigate the spread of this virus from hell.

In many respects, they weren’t much different than previous recommendations for the opening of restaurants and a variety of other businesses.

Wear a mask, maintain social distance, no physical contact, no shared materials, regular health screenings, temperature checks at the door, frequent cleaning of surfaces and hand sanitizer available just about everywhere.

There are those who will argue that any government-imposed restrictions on how, when or where we may participate in religious activities is a violation of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I am not among them.

Which is not to say that government doesn’t sometimes overreach in these situations by imposing regulations that strike at the core of who we are and prevent us from truly exercising our freedom of religion.

Like the time less than a century ago when the state of Oregon banned all Catholic schools.

The governor’s decree did provide one head-scratcher when it declared “This guidance does not obligate places of worship to resume in-person activity.”

Thank heavens for that. If the governor had demanded that all churches must reopen, we’d have some serious constitutional issues on our hands. But maybe he was just trying to cover all his bases.

“Further it is strongly recommended that places of worship continue to facilitate remote services and other related activities for those who are vulnerable to COVID-19, including older adults and those with co-morbidities.”

Newsom may be surprised to know that for many years now we could all watch Holy Mass on television every day of the week or listen to it on the radio. What’s different now is that we can frequently watch Mass celebrated in our home parish rather than on a national telecast.

I should note that any and all recommendations and guidelines are temporary. There is no plan to make anything permanent unless absolutely necessary for public health and safety.

Notes the governor, “Upon 21 days, the California Department of Public Health, in consultation

with county departments of public health, will review and assess the impact of these imposed limits on public health and provide further direction as part of a phased-in restoration of activities in places of worship.”

Hopefully, members of the clergy and lay members of our various faith communities will be actively included in this assessment.

“Places of worship must therefore limit attendance to 25 percent of building capacity or a maximum of 100 attendees, whichever is lower.”

A

maximum of 100 seems a little extreme when you consider that Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral in Los Angeles has a seating capacity of 3,000, which means it could be just 3.3 percent full to meet that restriction. I suspect those requirements are about to get relaxed a bit, but who knows?

It will, however, be left up to individual congregations to decide who gets to attend and who doesn’t.

One guideline that strikes at the heart of religious services for many faith groups is the statement that “singing and group recitation negate the risk-reduction achieved through six feet of physical distancing.”

Music can be joyful or somber or inspiring or deeply emotional as it touches our souls, but it’s not

absolutely necessary at this stage of our virus response. I’ve attended many Masses, in fact, where there was no music or singing at all.

Besides, there’s no ban on listening to the soaring strains provided by the church organist.

Group recitation is another matter altogether. In many churches, including mine, we are all active participants, not merely frogs on a log passively watching the pastor run the show.

It seems to me, however, that if we are all properly socially distanced and wearing face masks and sitting in a church not exceeding 25-percent capacity, we can safely respond when necessary if we speak very softly into our masks. Or maybe we can just say the words to ourselves without moving our lips.

Finally, the governor suggests we should “shorten services to limit the length of time congregants spend at facilities whenever possible.”

That may bring a smile to the face of a teenager who would rather be sleeping in on Sunday morning, or relief to those who consider church services an obligation rather than an opportunity, but I suppose it does makes sense in the short term.

And short term is exactly what I pray this is all going to be.

NEWS: The world keeps spinning, regardless of lockdown From Page A1 and effort. What should be a quick conversation turns into a 20-minute back-and-forth text exchange.”

Reporters and associate editors at the paper concur.

While longtime government writer Anne Ternus-Bellamy says that covering county supervisors and the Davis City Council via computer screen hasn’t provided major obstacles, “the cons would be the inability to track someone down in person to ask a question that has otherwise gone unanswered. ... It’s easier to dodge a phone call or email than an actual person.”

Staffers have been working primarily from home. Oñate makes daily appearances in the newsroom and Associate Editors Linda DuBois and Kim Orendor have regular hours on site, but all three spend many more hours working from home these days.

For two decades, Lauren Keene has covered courts and emergency services for the 123-year-old newspaper.

“When Yolo County issued its shelter-in-place order, the courts remained open for business,” she pointed out. “However, virtually all of the cases I’ve been following were postponed for weeks or months, leaving little to be covered other than the new cases.

“I’ve only had to go to court once since then, back in April,

for the arraignment of the defendant charged with taking a COVID specimen from Sutter Davis Hospital.”

Keene was the only person in the audience at the arraignment; a face mask was required and social distancing was mandatory.

Those rules remain in place today.

“I feel grateful to have an essential occupation, and for the accommodations that have been made — such as online government meetings and court proceedings — that allow us to continue to do our jobs while also protecting our health,” Keene reported.

For Caleb Hampton, hired last year to cover UC Davis, “the pandemic has brought both challenges and benefits.”

Hampton sees “lots of interesting stories” emerging: “Things that are happening for the first time, ways (in which) life and society have changed, unprecedented problems and solutions for individuals and institutions.

“A challenge is that it can be difficult to shift gears as a reporter,” Hampton continued.

“Before the lockdown, I was covering a movement of grad students demanding a living wage.

(It) was gaining momentum.

“The lockdown pretty much (quashed) that, so I needed to find new stories, develop new sources, (do) new background research ...”

Plus, Oñate provided Hampton with an additional beat — reporting on the healthcare community, putting the focus on this new wave of first responders and their challenges.

Hampton much prefers faceto-face meetings for interviews — “a better way to develop relationships and trust” — but added that interviews conducted online or over the phone allow him to “get pretty much the same information.”

keen eye on social media for tips about meaningful stories.

“A month ago, transitioning to Zoom was a story,” he noted.

“Now, people are sick of hearing how organizations and teams are using Zoom. Like Zoom stories, (made-up) bracket tournaments were cute at one point. That time has passed, too.

“I want sports, not substitutes.”

Play ball?

Arts and entertainment is another area in which the coverage went from 60-to-zero almost overnight.

“During the first few weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic, my arts pages were full of cancellation notices,” DuBois remembered. “Then, for the next few weeks, the arts email inbox was empty. There was nothing.

“Normally, my challenge is keeping up with the volume of things people send me ... and now my challenge was to find some good news amid all the depressing news.

“So I told my regular contributors to send me anything they were doing, even if normally it wouldn’t be newsworthy.”

As with the sports section, the events calendar disappeared immediately.

DuBois said her first change during the shutdown came via little things, because if they were

For sports, it is a whole new ballgame, with COVID-19 creating an abrupt end to athletics around the world.

“My days are definitely longer,” said sports writer Owen Yancher.

“Whereas I’d normally be able to set some three- to four-hour windows aside to cover (and write about) a sporting event, scheduling (my day) is all over the place nowadays.”

Yancher said his sleep schedule is erratic as well, because “some interviewees are asking if we can chat at 11 p.m., or later — something they never would’ve asked to have done before.”

Yancher has been asked to double as a staff photographer when it is safe. With lines of responsibility often blurred, he’s also helped out in the news department. As with the rest of the Enterprise team, he’s kept a

Sour notes

good news, the short became a “cover” story. And she saw an opportunity to take advantage of a favorite Enterprise contributor, movie reviewer Derrick Bang.

“We noticed that after the shelter-in-place order, people started streaming more movies since they couldn’t go out for their entertainment,” DuBois observed. “Derrick, who usually writes one review per week of the new movie releases in local theaters, (was asked to write) at least two reviews per week of movies found on common streaming services.

“Publisher Taylor Buley was enthusiastic about the idea and suggested that Derrick also write some genre stories — sort of a roundup of, for example, crime movies, love stories, courtroom dramas, etc. Derrick jumped at the chance.”

Meanwhile, Yancher finds “there’s so much uncertainty and anxiety in the sports world. The last thing people seem to be doing is taking this time to kick back and relax.

“As a result, they’re busier than ever and consequently tougher to get a hold of for an interview,” he added. “Everybody feels like they have to get ‘ready,’ except nobody knows exactly what they’re getting ready for.”

CHANGES: Conversations followed Monday meeting on police tactics From Page A1 Taser or a baton,” Pytel said during Monday’s meeting, The Enterprise previously reported. “In those cases where deadly force would be authorized, then the carotid control hold … may be an appropriate technique to use in order to save a life.”

But some members of the public expressed dismay over the Davis PD’s

continued inclusion of that technique, as did several Police Accountability commissioners.

“I think it is important for this commission to consider recommending either a further restriction or a general ban of these types of techniques,” Chair Dillan Horton said. “I feel like if there’s a situation where you could get right to the edge of a George Floyd

situation, we should bring that line back a little bit.”

In the days that followed, Pytel said he engaged in conversations within his department, as well as with community members and elected officials, arriving at the conclusion that the policy’s language needed changing.

Said Davis Mayor Brett Lee, “The Davis community wants assurance that

we take precautions to prevent any such event like the one that occurred to George Floyd, and others, from occurring here in Davis. We are providing those assurances through our policies, our training and our actions.

“We continually evaluate our policies and training regimen, utilizing feedback from multiple sources, including our Police

Accountability Commission and Independent Police Auditor,” Lee said in Saturday’s statement.

Added City Manager Mike Webb: “As an organization we strive to develop and maintain a workforce that values public service, humanity, compassion and the dignity of all people.

Every one of our officers receives training in procedural justice, principled

policing, and bias — both conscious and unconscious.

“Additionally, many of our supervisors have been trained as instructors in the concepts of Procedural Justice. To instill a strong sense of empathy in our officers, we have used both law enforcement and nontraditional training formats as recommended by the Department of Justice,” Webb said.

OPEN: County upgrades dashboard From Page A1 health benchmarks for Stage 3 reopening are allowed activities at places such as restaurants, bars and wineries, museums, galleries, fitness facilities hotels and campgrounds as early as June 12.

Yolo County last week reminded residents of precautions they should take while exercising their rights through public protests, marches and demonstrations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Even if following social distancing during such activities, “bringing members of different households together to engage in in-person protest carries a higher risk of widespread transmission of COVID19,” said Jenny Tan, the county’s public information officer.

“Singing and shouting has the potential to project the virus from infected people so face coverings and social distancing are very important.”

Tan also noted that the risk of transmission

increases as the number of people gathered increases.

“The closer together they are gathering and the longer amount of time they are together also increases the chance of getting COVID,” she said.

“If you are protesting, please maintain physical distance or social distancing to others outside your household unit. This means at least 6 feet. Wear a face covering and surround yourself with other people who are also wearing a face covering. And maintain hand hygiene.”

The county has created a new dashboard on its COVID-19 website that indicates where it stands on

all of the attestation criteria. See the dashboard at https://www.yolocounty. org/coronavirus As of Saturday, the county had reported 6,683 tests and 221 positive test results. Countywide, 24 people have died of COVID-19 and 44 people have been hospitalized since the start of the pandemic.

Nearly a third of all county cases are connected to a single skilled nursing facility — Stollwood Convalescent Hospital in Woodland — as are 17 of the county’s 24 total deaths.

Stollwood announced on Friday it no longer had any positive cases.

MAILBOXES: Residents fume over lack of action From Page A1 at bay. Other Davis neighborhoods may see theirs replaced as well.

“We appreciate the frustrations” of the affected residents, Fitch added, noting that the Davis community isn’t alone. “We’ve seen an increase statewide in mail theft over the past couple of years.”

The South Davis mail thefts date back to late April, when residents of Mono Place said they learned from their local postal carrier that someone may have obtained a master key to the area’s cluster mailboxes — the multi-box units typically located in newer neighborhoods — and used it to steal the mail.

That led to a neighborhood conversation on the Nextdoor social media platform and complaints to the Postal Inspection Service — the lawenforcement arm of the U.S. Postal Service — which pledged to conduct an investigation into the thefts, which are federal crimes.

But the pilfering continued with outright break-ins, leaving the Mono Place mailbox so damaged that residents were unable to have their mail delivered, according to emails sent to The Enterprise.

Their frustrations mounted, they said, when they received scant information from postal officials as to when or how the problem would be solved.

“Neighbors are missing packages, letters, tax

documents, credit cards and possibly stimulus checks or debit cards,” resident Paula Koltnow wrote in an email sent to members of the Davis City Council, as well as well as Yolo County Supervisor Jim Provenza and Rep. John Garamendi.

“Right now we aren’t getting any mail at all.

Also no explanations or inquiries into how this situation affects us all,” Koltnow wrote.

As Koltnow and her neighbors appealed to their elected officials for help, thieves last week targeted additional cluster mailboxes on Boxelder Place, La Paz Drive and Wintun Place, according to the Davis Police Department’s online bulletin.

Fitch said the Postal Inspection Service’s Sacramento-area mail theft team is “actively working these break-ins as we speak.” The public can help, he added, by filing reports to document resulting incidents of identity and credit-card theft.

Reports can be filed online at www.uspis.gov/ report/. Meanwhile, anyone with information that could aid the ongoing investigation is urged to call the Postal Inspection Service’s 24-hour dispatch line at 877-8762455.

Theft victims also should notify their local law-enforcement agencies, as “we work very closely with those partners and share information” that could aid an investigation, Fitch added.

Lawsuit against Nugget can go to trial

BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer A federal judge ruled last week that a discrimination lawsuit filed by two Nugget Markets employees can proceed to trial. The workers allege that supervisors racially abused and harassed them with taunts about then-presidential candidate Donald Trump’s views on immigration. When the workers complained to Nugget management about the harassment, they say the company retaliated against them.

The lawsuit was filed in 2017 by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF) on behalf of Jimmy David RamirezCastellanos and Francisco Javier Gomez Espinoza, both of whom worked at the Nugget store on Mace Boulevard in Davis. They were allegedly subjected to a hostile work environment by two managers and a maintenance director.

The defendants in the lawsuit are Nugget Markets Inc. and Issa Quarra, the owner of One Stop, a janitorial service company that contracted with Nugget. The defendants had sought a summary judgment on seven causes of action brought against them in the complaint. On May 28, U.S. District Judge John A. Mendez denied summary judgment on four of the causes of action, allowing the case to go to trial.

“We will vigorously fight this lawsuit because these allegations are false,” Nugget Markets chief impact officer Kate Stille said Thursday in a statement to The Enterprise.

According to the lawsuit, the supervisors began mocking and discriminating against the two employees on the basis of their national origin in the spring of 2015. Ramirez-Castellanos is from El Salvador and was employed as a floor cleaner. Espinoza is from Mexico and worked as a stock clerk. Both men worked night shifts.

Court documents describe the allegations as a “sustained campaign of taunts” directed at the employees on a nearly daily basis in a way that was meant to “humiliate and anger.”

“Both men say that managers at the market made demeaning comments about the work habits of Latinos and,

during the 2016 presidential race, referenced Trump’s anti-immigrant campaign rhetoric to humiliate them,” MALDEF said in a statement released Wednesday.

“A reasonable man in Plaintiffs’ circumstances would have found the hostile conduct sufficiently severe and pervasive to alter the terms and conditions of his employment,” Mendez stated in his ruling.

While campaigning for the presidency, Trump vowed to restrict immigration, deport undocumented immigrants and build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. In campaign speeches, he frequently associated Latino immigrants with drugs and violent crime, even though data shows that immigrants commit fewer crimes than U.S.-born citizens.

“Invoking Donald Trump to harass Latino and immigrant workers is unlawful workplace conduct,” said Thomas A. Saenz, MALDEF president and general counsel.

According to court documents, a Nugget manager allegedly “said Latinos are ‘garbage,’ do bad work and steal jobs from Americans.”

Another manager allegedly asked Ramirez-Castellanos if he was “looking for food” when he was throwing away garbage in a trash bin because that is what “Salvadoran guys do.”

Ramirez-Castellanos and Espinoza say the abuse reached a point where they feared for their physical safety.

They complained to higher-ups at Nugget Market about being harassed, they say, but instead of confronting the supervisors, company management retaliated against the workers.

According to the lawsuit, RamirezCastellanos was fired in December 2015 the day after he complained about harassment. MALDEF submitted as evidence a recording of a phone call in which Ramirez-Castellanos’ One Stop supervisor explained to him that Nugget wanted him fired because the manager “doesn’t want to hear any more complaints from you or anyone else,” court documents state.

Espinoza says he complained to Nugget management and asked to be transferred to another store, but his complaints were dismissed and his transfer request was denied. An email

submitted as evidence shows a Nugget manager asking a fellow employer to look for performance related conduct to terminate or discipline Espinoza.

After he complained, Espinoza says he began to receive his first negative performance reviews.

“The Court finds this evidence to be compelling,” Mendez stated in his ruling.

Nugget Market denies dismissing discrimination and retaliating against Ramirez-Castellanos and Espinoza.

“Nugget Market would never allow or condone any discriminatory behavior,” Stille stated. For the past 15 years, Nugget has been ranked in the top 100 companies in the U.S. to work for.

“We have fought these charges for the past three years because these allegations are false and have no basis in fact,” Stille stated.

According to the company, the workers never explicitly complained about racial or national origin discrimination. “Defendant argues that its management ‘was never aware of any complaints Ramirez-Castellanos (made) about race or national origin discrimination,’ and that Espinoza did not actually complain about discrimination because he qualified his statement by saying (the manager) made him ‘feel stupid’ instead,” court documents state.

According to Nugget, RamirezCastellanos and Espinoza “were not discriminated against and instead were simply performing poorly at work.” Their poor performance was the reason why there was friction between the workers and their supervisors, why meetings were held with management, and why Espinoza received negative performance reviews, the company says.

“Rather than acknowledge that their lawsuit is falling apart, MALDEF continues to politicize baseless charges against us in a weak attempt to win public opinion in this tumultuous time,” Stille stated.

According to Mendez, the employees submitted “more than enough evidence” to warrant a trial. “Plaintiffs firmly maintain that they both made Defendant aware, through its managers, that they were victims of discrimination,” he stated in his ruling.

OBITUARIES Nancianne Pfister

Irene (Bruni) Russell

April 23, 1935 — March 16, 2020 Nancianne Pfister died peacefully on March 16, 2020, one month shy of her 85th birthday.

She grew up in the village of North Saint Paul, Minnesota, after being adopted by her parents, Nora and Harry McKusick, and becoming a sister to their daughter, Gloria.

Childhood friend Mary Combs remembers Nancianne as smart and well read, but not inclined to study hard. Still, Mary says, “I remember her talking about Freud in high school—I did not hear the name again until I attended university.”

After graduating from high school in 1953, Nancianne joined the Sisters of St. Joseph, but after a year was encouraged to leave. When asked why, she would reply flatly, “I asked too many questions.”

In 1957, Nancianne married Will Pfister.

Her son, William, was born the following year, and in 1959, Will’s job brought the family to California Nancianne attended UC Davis, where she blossomed in her new field of interest, public speaking. She went on to receive a Master’s degree in rhetoric from UCD, and served as an adjunct faculty member there, and at Sacramento State and American River College. She taught at ARC for nearly three decades (including summer school as recently as 2019), where students praised her unfailing ability to help them through the often-unnerving aspects of public speaking.

From 1988 to 1998, she served as assistant editor for Stage Directions, a national theater magazine. When its offices moved from West Sacramento to Raleigh, N.C., she continued as a contributing writer.

July 25, 1925 — May 29, 2020

Nancianne’s love of theater found a home with the Davis Comic Opera Company, and over three decades served in many roles, including assistant to the director, and editor of the DCOC newsletter.

She was also a supporter of the Davis Musical Theatre Company and Woodland Opera House.

Nancianne was a long-time volunteer at All Things Right & Relevant, and an avid supporter of St. Baldrick’s Foundation, best known for its head-shaving fundraising promotions. True to form, she went a step further, keeping her head shaved all year around, and wearing a large button, reading “Ask Me Why I’m Bald” whenever out in public.

A student of Asian culture, in 2002 she visited Taiwan, where her grandson, Daniel Pfister, was teaching English and studying martial arts. She would later go on to study the Chinese healing arts of tai chi and qigong.

Her sense of humor and inner strength served her well over her lifetime. There were few obstacles she could not overcome — except her decades-long battle with recalcitrant computers and uncooperative answering machines.

Nancianne is survived by son William, grandchildren Daniel and Kachina, and great-granddaughter Sunny, as well as members of her large extended family. All miss her terribly, but share the good fortune of having known this remarkable woman. As Nancianne often ended her correspondence, “Gaudeamus” — Let us rejoice!

A private gathering of family and friends will be held when public health guidelines permit.

Irene Russell, age 94, passed away peacefully on May 29, 2020.

She was born to the late Edward and Sabina Bruni in St. Helena on July 25, 1925. Irene was the ninth of 10 children, born to immigrants from Northern Italy.

The Bruni family had a very close relationship, where she grew up within this big happy family. She also served as a waitress at their family restaurant, the Valley Café.

She was married to Robert (Bob) Russell for 51 years, and was preceded by her loving husband in 2006. She is survived by her children, Carolyn Montoya of Henderson, Nev., Susan Constant of Woodland, Bob Russell of Lafayette and Barney Russell of Palm Springs; brother Ed Bruni of Woodland; sister Josephine Montelli of Twin

Falls, Idaho; six grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren.

Irene settled in Davis with her family in 1964 where, along with her husband Bob, they opened three businesses in Davis and two in Woodland. They raised their family and participated in the town’s growth over the next 13 years, until she moved with her husband to El Macero in 1977.

While her greatest joy was taking care of her family; she also enjoyed music, dancing and the social events at El Macero Country Club. She was an avid reader, loved traveling, movies, fashion, cooking and having fun with family and friends. Irene was immensely proud of her family and leaves behind nothing but beautiful memories.

Cathy Joyce Sacks April 27, 1958 — May 18, 2020

Cathy always led with love. She was everyone’s best friend. When you were with Cathy it was like you were the only person in her world. She would wrap you in her love and give you the strength to face any challenge. Her mother Bettie said she was like that from the time she was a little girl.

Cathy Joyce Sacks was born on April 27, 1958, in Fresno, the beloved daughter that Bettie and Jack Sacks had always wanted.

Bettie said the happiest day of their lives was the day they became a forever family.

Cathy grew up in the Central Valley. Her family moved often, but by the time she reached high school, they settled in Maricopa. Cathy excelled in high school, lettering in tennis and serving as secretary for her junior and senior class, student council vice president and Homecoming Queen.

Cathy had a strong abiding faith that sustained her throughout her life. At Westmont College, a private Christian liberal arts school, Cathy found a community of lifelong friends committed to living their faith. Their shared beliefs became a guiding principle in Cathy’s life.

After receiving her bachelor’s degree in religious studies in 1981, Cathy immediately put her faith into action. Traveling to Australia, she joined a Christian mission serving homeless, disadvantaged inner-city children. This was the beginning of Cathy’s own personal ministry.

Returning to the United States in 1982, Cathy and her college friends founded the Samaritan Neighborhood Center in West Oakland, bringing community and service to

where it was needed most.

For over a decade, Cathy lived her faith. She was the heart and soul of the community, their “unofficial” pastor. Cathy understood addressing the educational, physical, emotional and social needs of the center’s at-risk children and youths were key to breaking the cycle of poverty. She created programs empowering them to confront the countless challenges they faced, and gave them the tools and resilience needed to overcome them.

Hundreds of children and their families were impacted by her love and support, and she never lost touch with their lives. Cathy had an infinite ability to love.

Oakland was also where Cathy met her husband and life partner, Kevin Moynihan, another founding member of the center who shared her commitment to making a difference. Cathy and Kevin were married in 1989 and moved to Davis for Kevin to attend medical school. In 1991, they welcomed their first son, Kody, and Tré followed in 1993.

Cathy loved being a mom! She embraced all aspects of Kody and Tré’s lives. From pre-school through college and medical school, she was there for them, cheering on their teams and supporting their academic and

career interests. She was incredibly proud of her sons’ accomplishments.

Even as her family responsibilities grew, Cathy remained committed to her life’s mission of helping disadvantaged youths. She pursued a master’s in educational counseling to gain the knowledge, skills and credentials she needed to further her goal. Cathy received her master’s degree in 2008 and immediately applied her newfound expertise to her faith-based, communitybuilding work, taking part in mission trips, weekly Bible studies, social justice activities and mentoring church youths.

When her son Tré died in an accident in 2014, Cathy found blessings in the midst of an unimaginable tragedy. Fortified by her faith, she acted. Cathy made personal connections with Tré’s organ recipients and found peace knowing that he had given so many the gift of life. She built profound lasting relationships with several of Tré’s friends, gaining insights into Tré and his life that gave her great comfort. To honor Tre’s life by giving back to others, Cathy created the Tré Moynihan Foundation and Memorial Scholarship.

During the past year, Cathy focused her

Arun Kumar Sen

July. 25, 1938 — May. 27, 2020 Dr. Arun Kumar Sen, Ph.D., a 50-year resident of Davis peacefully passed on May 27, 2020, surrounded by family.

Born and raised in Kolkata, India, Arun earned his bachelor’s degree from Bihar University, India receiving a Gold Medal for highest marks in entomology. He went on to receive a master’s and Ph.D. in entomology/nematology/ plant pathology from Oregon State University. Arun was a Post Graduate Fellow of the International Agricultural Center at the Institute of Phytopathological Research, Wageningen, Netherlands. Some say his greatest accomplishment at OSU was meeting his future wife, Lourminia “Mimi” Cariño Sen, whom he married in 1970.

Arun and Mimi moved to Davis in 1970, where he became the statewide technical advisor to the California Department of Pesticide Regulation. He retired shortly after Mimi’s passing in 2005. He was dedicated to the field of science and served on the Department of Food and Agriculture’s Equal

Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action Advisory Committee the Entomological Society of America Northern California Entomology Club, and the Royal Entomological Society of London.

As important as Arun’s professional career, was his 53-year international and local involvement in Toastmasters. He held the positions of district governor and international director, and received the Presidential Citation and Distinguished Toastmaster awards — the highest honor.

Arun visited numerous South East Asian countries promoting Toastmasters, and was a proud leader of District 39 and member of Davis Town and Gown, Sacramento Pestmasters and Sacramento Diamond Clubs.

In 2004, Arun joined the board of the Davis Democratic Club. He served a total of eight years as president, and later became the controller for the Central Committee of Yolo County Democrats. He was fiercely passionate about local

campaigns and willing to go above and beyond for the party.

Arun was a longtime member of the Davis Odd Fellows Lodge, involved in all aspects and branches of the fraternal order. He was currently the vice grand of the Davis Rebekah Lodge, the past chief patriarch of the Davis Encampment, and the second-in-command of the First Regiment of the Patriarchs Militant. Arun held all degrees of the order, including the highest — the Degree of Universal Justice — held by less than 100 in California.

Arun had achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel at the time of his passing.

Arun and his late wife supported many local causes. Both were mentors with encouraging spirit and loved by many.

Arun served on the California Multicultural Park Foundation Diversity Advisory Committee, Human Relations Commission, India Association of Davis, International House of Davis, St. James School Board of

Directors, USE Credit Union Board of Directors, and Pro Biz Exchange Board, to name a few.

Arun was an exemplary and honorable man, always humorous and humble, a brave spirit, and always making people laugh with his cheerful nature and bright smile. He was an encouraging friend, and made many feel at home and welcome. Family will remember Arun as loving, generous, selfless, a sharp dresser, and a resilient soul — a man of immeasurable good fortune.

Arun is survived by his daughters Anita Sen and Monina Sen Cervone; sonin-law Tony Cervone; grandchildren Lourminia and PaoloKumar Cervone; and sister Shikha Sen. He is reunited with the love of his life, his wife Lourminia.

The Sen Family has asked that any contributions in Arun’s name be given to Toastmasters, www.toastmasters.org/ smedley, 9127 S. Jamaica St. #400; Englewood, CO 80112, or the Davis Democratic Club, P.O. Box 73014; Davis, CA 95617.

considerable energy and talents on opening a medical practice with her husband, Kevin. For Cathy, it was full circle from their Oakland years, another opportunity to work as partners in pursuit of their shared commitment to others. She was immensely proud of what they created and excited to begin this next chapter of their lives together.

Cathy Joyce Sacks was a cherished daughter, life partner, mother and friend.

She was a force: passionate, full of life and always ready for an adventure, with a joyful smile that radiated from her heart. Cathy was a genuine and empathetic listener, a steady shoulder to lean on, and a friend who never judged.

Cathy was preceded in death by her father Jack and her son Tré. She will be forever loved and missed by her family: her mother Bettie, her husband Kevin, her son Kody, and her beloved Silena Layne, as well as countless relatives and friends who shared the gift of Cathy in their lives.

The Sacks-Moynihan family continues their commitment to the life-changing work of the Samaritan Neighborhood Center. Donations to honor Cathy’s memory and legacy can be made by check or online via the Network for Good website: https://www.nfggive. com/home. Search/Select: Samaritan Neighborhood Center.

A celebration of Cathy’s life will be held in May of 2021. Details will be shared closer to the date. Email celebratingcathysacksmoynihan@gmail.com to receive updates.

A6 THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

SUNDAY, JUNE 7, 2020

Just a dozen restaurants remain closed I t’s been a stressful couple of weeks for everyone. But I have some good news. The list of business closures is getting shorter, especially in the restaurant category.

Twelve restaurants have not reopened after COVID-19 closures: Bistro 33, BurgerIM, City Hall Tavern, Crepeville, D Street Steakhouse, G Street WunderBar (with Smokin’ Ewe BBQ), La Piñata Mexican Grill, Ramen Hook, Sam’s Mediterranean Cuisine, Seasons Kitchen and Bar, Uncle Vito’s and Village Pizza & Pints.

In my outreach to these restaurants, I heard from Crepeville on Thursday: “At this current time, we don’t have a planned opening date for the Davis location,” the unsigned email said.

Social media posts indicate Sam’s and Seasons are looking to reopen soon. Village Pizza & Pints served mostly a college crowd, so the owner is holding off on it while he manages Village Bakery and Village Pizza & Grill. Bistro 33 owners have not responded to repeated inquiries.

They also run City Hall Tavern.

Yolo County started permitting dine-in service as of May 28.

The restrictions are tight, however, and some eateries are sticking to takeout for now.

Meanwhile, the weight of George Floyd’s death makes dining out seem trivial. Black Lives Matter protests remained peaceful in Davis. Our neighbors in Sacramento and Solano counties suffered substantial destruction

CDC provides ag guidelines for COVID-19 Special to The Enterprise Agricultural worksites face unique challenges amid the spread of COVID-19. Close and frequent contact with coworkers in fields and packing houses often makes physical distancing difficult. Shortages in supplies like respirator, have added to the challenge.

Kent Pinkerton, professor of pediatrics in the UC Davis School of Medicine and director of the Western Center for Agricultural Health and Safety, said, “I am pleased the CDC has developed workplace guidelines specifically for agriculture.”

For general work duties, the CDC advises the use of simple cloth face coverings. Cloth face coverings are not a substitute for maintaining physical distance or using proper handwashing technique.

Many farmworkers reside in shared housing and travel to and from work with others. The new CDC guidance provides recommendations for employer-provided housing and transportation that are relevant in community settings.

and looting – largely by vandals unrelated to the movement.

But what was happening in neighboring cities led to some unusual safeguards in Davis.

Corporate stores like Target and CVS, which suffered losses elsewhere, reacted in Davis too. Target closed its Davis store for a bit, then limited its hours for several days. CVS still had boarded-up windows at both Davis locations as of Thursday, though they remain open.

I continue to update and add details to my Google spreadsheet of businesses affected by COVID-19 (see link below). Area residents are eager to show their support for black-owned businesses, so I’ve included that information in the notes. Unfortunately, Davis has just a handful. They include Zim Cuisine, a catering and meal-prep business; Ken’s Bike-Ski-Board (coowner Sheldon Blissett); gyms Iggy Training and Performance 22 (online instruction during COVID restrictions). Another Google doc (not mine) lists some local black-owned businesses in the Sacramento area, seehttps:// bit.ly/blackownedsac. It includes Crucial Vibes Unlimited, which

The chain experienced damage to stores in other cities but not Davis. recently moved from Davis to Woodland, and Davis-based nonprofits The Culture Co-op and TESE Foundation. If you know other merchants or restaurants, please let me know.

The city and downtown merchants continue to discuss the open-air initiative that would expand restaurant and retail space onto sidewalks, streets and parking lots. The city is waiving fees and expediting temporary permits for outdoor dining and business use in public spaces.

Watch for news on that as it’s finalized.

Brett Maresca, Davis Downtown Business Association executive director, discussed it at the

group’s marketing meeting Thursday morning. “Recent messages have been, ‘Come downtown, pick something up, and please leave right away.’ We don’t want to encourage that message.”

Even with 6-foot distancing, the outdoor setting is safer, and allows businesses to accommodate enough patrons to pay their bills. Also, “it makes people feel safer and more comfortable about coming downtown,” which is half the battle.

The theme is “Shop. Eat. Vibe.”

Maresca said, “Vibe is about making connections again.

That’s important.”

My Google sheet, Davis

Businesses during COVID-19, is at https://bit.ly/Davis Businesses. In it, there are sheets for Restaurants-open, Restaurants-closed, Businessesretail, 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.

While there wasn’t much added to the list of dine-in eateries, the retail sector was busy reopening last week. Businesses bringing back inside shopping (that weren’t mentioned last week) are: All Things Right & Relevant (with expanded consignment hours), The Avid Reader, Bella Luna Jewelers, Bizarro World, Bohème Hip Used Clothing, The Candy House, Creme de la Crème gift shop, Lu’Ro Jewelers, The Paint Chip art-supply store, Pinkadot Boutique, Third Street Jewelers, Watermelon Music, and Yolo SPCA Thrift Store. Their hours are listed on my Google sheet.

Though most gyms remain closed, Get Fit Davis started some outdoor classes on June 2, in addition to its online offerings.

Travis Credit Union pledges donations to local nonprofits Special to The Enterprise VACAVILLE — In recognition of all those working towards justice in honor of George Floyd, Travis Credit Union is committing $40,000 to two local nonprofits whose efforts are focused on ending racial injustice and lifting black voices.

“At this time of great unrest, what we need is a call for unity and understanding,” said Barry Nelson, president and CEO of Travis Credit Union. “Racism and brutality have no place in America. We stand with our local leaders to take thoughtful action to prevent future tragedies and to help our communities heal.”

The Davis-based Culture C.O.-O.P. (Caring, Optimistic, Open-Minded People)

promotes understanding and respect for diversity/ equity, cultural competency, literacy and a quality education for all. It accomplish its mission through a comprehensive approach, engaging key partners who interface regularly with youths.

Their approach is holistic, culturally relevant and intergenerational, using approaches that are research-based and incorporate the arts.

The RYSE Center in Richmond creates safe spaces grounded in social justice for young people to learn, educate, heal, and transform lives and communities.

RYSE Center programs are anchored in the belief that young people have the lived knowledge and expertise to identify, prioritize, and direct the activities and services

necessary to thrive.

They envision a movement led by young people that ensures dignity for themselves, their families, and their communities.

“Especially at times like these, it’s important to reaffirm that Travis Credit Union is a place of belonging and inclusion,” said Nelson. “I am hopeful that

all individuals will come to understand that valuing everyone equally means we should listen and learn from each other.”

“What more can each of us do?” added Nelson.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION AT UC DAVIS

How the ‘Davis Way’ took hold Students seek out classes taught by teacher-coaches

UC Davis’ Vern Hickey gives golf instructions to, from left, Pat Hershberger, Shirley Ramsey, Pat McWilliams, Sally Curtis, Suzanne Ames and Maggie Orr during a physical-education class in the 1950s.

Hickey was a lecturer, coach and supervisor of physical education — among sundry other responsibilities.

■ Editor’s note: The following is the first in a three-part series exploring physical education at UC Davis, which was phased out as an academic major during the 1990s. Today’s installment delves into the origins of physical education at UCD, founding faculty and program growth across the past century. More than 7,000 students enroll in physical-education courses at UCD each year, but the program faces uncertainty with widespread campus budget cuts looming.

You’d have to go way, way back.

It’s all likely scribbled on some dusty and tattered documents — protocols of yesteryear that laid the groundwork for what so many over the past seven decades have come to know as “The Davis Way.” But what’s left of the fascinating guidelines that’ve shaped university policy in Davis for nearly a century sheds light on a unique philosophy — one molded by the minds of Aggie legends Verne Hickey, Crip Toomey, Marya Welch and Woody Wilson.

Ideas that have transcended numerous changes in campus leadership and changed the lives of thousands of students and

athletes alike who’ve graced the halls of what was once known as The University Farm.

“You come first as a student,” the late football icon Jim Sochor once said. “Athletics is a bonus.

“And we want that bonus to be the best experience you have.”

Some 62 years ago, the physicaleducation department was officially born at UC Davis.

Established as a major at a time in 1958 when the College of Letters and Sciences enrollment was just creeping toward 1,000

Dean Ryan was one of the first coaches, who could also lecture, hired for the UC Davis physicaleducation department.

The wrestling coach was also the assistant professor of physical education and lectured on sports psychology.

It’s time to take stress relief to the next level W

ith everything going on in the country right now from the protests, the response to said protests and COVID-19, I’ve been handling the stress by heading out with my roommates to play disc golf every day in Davis.

I wrote about this each of the past two weeks, but it’s really gone down the rabbit hole now.

For instance, I was having trouble sleeping last night, so I watched over an hour of YouTube videos of several different professional disc golf players playing rounds.

Doing this has led me to the next thing I really want in this

world (you know, other than equality for each person) my own disc.

Every pro player has one and some who are even just kind of pros do as well, such as YouTuber Brodie Smith.

They come in all different colors and designs, almost each of which is incredibly dumb.

My roommate busts out his teal leopard and purple shark every day, while so far, my collection is slightly more bland.

As my other roommate told me last week, when he was a kid, he picked his disc exclusively based on the design.

For whatever reason, I’ve

never been huge on aesthetics in real golf — perhaps because nothing about my game is aesthetically pleasing in any way — but there’s something about opening up your closet (hopefully my disc bag in the future) and seeing all those bright

puppies light up the room.

My collection is still relatively small, and I truly have no idea if this is something I’ll continue to do when everything returns to normal, but I’ve decided I need my own disk. Like customdesigned.

I don’t know how I would go about accomplishing this, yet, but the options are limitless.

I

could go with some soccerthemed ones, which have nothing to do with golf, but were how I almost purchased cornhole boards years ago.

Or maybe something Davis or bike themed.

Or, and I really like the idea of this, I could get one of my roommate’s face and hilarious mustache stamped on without telling him.

Am I good at disc golf? Not really, but it seems like the exact type of sport where it would be par for the course to just roll out with your own design.

Or at least it will help me come up with another positive project during a time of such negativity.

COMMENTARY

Wracked with paralysis by analysis

Time to say I that enough is enough

BY JOHN GARAMENDI Special to The Enterprise

“I

know you are asking today, how long will it take?”

Martin Luther King Jr. posed this question at the end of the Selma voting rights march. Fifty-five years later we are still asking “how long?” How long until unarmed African Americans will no longer be killed by police exceeding their power and authority?

No American should witness this brutality and sit idly. We must demand justice and work every day to end the revolving door of inequity and hate that allows our sons, daughters, brothers and sisters to be murdered with impunity. Enough is enough.

George Floyd’s murder is another horrific stain on the fabric of our nation. Most Americans have not experienced the same treatment or injustice as George Floyd, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Breonna Talor and countless others.

Most Americans do not know what it is like to walk in their shoes. But it’s critical for all of us to empathize and work to understand. We must study the history, listen to the voices and experiences of marginalized groups and raise awareness amongst those who may otherwise not see it.

We all have a role to play in putting a spotlight on injustice to catalyze true change in our nation.

President Obama, when speaking this week to the legitimate anger and frustration over the much-needed reforms in our policing and criminal justice system, said, “The overwhelming majority of participants have been peaceful, courageous, responsible and inspiring.

They deserve our respect and support, not condemnation.

“On the other hand, the small minority of folks who’ve resorted to violence in various forms are putting innocent people at risk. So let’s not excuse violence, or rationalize it or participate in it.”

George Floyd deserved his breath, his life, his dignity and his voice.

mericans must turn these incredible displays of unity and calls for reform into concrete action. We must all register to vote and make sure our loved ones do the same.

We must examine how our own thoughts and actions impact others. We must do all we can to create a more just and fair America.

George Floyd deserved his breath, his life, his dignity and his voice. Instead, he was left calling for his mother while the life escaped his body. We are long past the time for empty rhetoric — we need action. If George can’t breathe then none of us can.

Let us channel our justifiable anger into sustained, effective action. Now is the time.

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

I can better represent you in Washington if I know your views and suggestions. You can contact me at my Davis district office, 412 G St., Davis, CA 95616, or 530-7535301; or at my Washington, D.C., office, 2368 Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, D.C., 20515, or 202-2251880.

— Rep. John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, represents the 3rd Congressional District, which includes Davis and Yolo County.

’ve been writing a column for more than 20 years now — a few years in Washington State before here at The Enterprise. And, understandably, sometimes when I look back on things I wrote years ago, I truly cringe.

But some of my cringecausing commentary is especially embarrassing.

Listen to the super naive Fantasylander — aka me — in this November, 2016 column, when I imagined Donald Trump might aspire to be a good president for all Americans: ‘”Maybe it’s Pollyannaesque, but here’s what’s keeping me buoyed: ‘”From Donald Trump’s acceptance speech: ‘Now it is time for America to bind the wounds of division … To all Republicans and Democrats and independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come together as one united people. … I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all of Americans, and this is so important to me.’ ” What an idiot I was.

So on Thursday of this week, after much reading of writers and journalists I respect, and processing how I felt about the current state of

our country, I still struggled with a message that might offer any significance to anyone, or even to myself.

Then my husband came into the bedroom while I was folding clothes and told me about a reading list of books he’d seen that aims to help people better understand racism. As he went on to Amazon to read about the books’ descriptions, he saw that almost every one was sold out.

I told him that I had seen the exact same reading list, and bookmarked it on my Twitter feed so I could get more educated on the issues.

And then I told him, “There! That’s my column! I will write about how it’s encouraging to see that a whole slew of books on how to help fight racism is sold out online!”

Yet not even an hour later, I saw this thread on Twitter

by Mehrsa Baradaran, a law professor at UC Irvine.

And then I agreed with every word she said, which

invalidated the positive thoughts I had about what a reading list can offer.

From @MehrsaBaradaran (with Twitter’s punctuation intact): “I have a few issues w/ some of the books teaching white people how not to be racist: A lot of them (though not all) assume that doing “the work” of dismantling white supremacy is about “listening to POC,” “speaking out” and generally not thinking certain things... not saying racist things, bringing POC to the table, not stereotyping, not fetishizing.

Not bringing your hurt feelings to the fight, recognizing privilege, not culturally appropriating etc.

A lot of the books talk about the discomfort of dealing with white privilege, etc. so far so fine, but ... every white person could do all of this stuff and we would still have different credit systems, race-based home values, differences in school funding, employment disparities, etc.

None of this stuff needs racism to be perpetuated.

Maybe doing the work of white supremacy is not buying a house in a wealthy white suburb. Or not sending your kid to a “good” (white) school or only voting for representatives that have a

progressive tax plan or a reparations bill. I’m not saying that this is it, but it seems to me like we’d get much further toward dismantling white supremacy if we had fewer seminars where we talked about feelings and privilege and more school board meetings and zoning fights and congressional hearings. Oh and breaking up the banks.

I am not saying that these books aren’t helpful — it’s important to do that personal work too, but the ones I’ve read (and I’ve read a substantial amount of them) seem to start and stop at personal comportment and thoughts or at organizational representation and that’s not enough.

Just when I think, “There’s a good way to get involved/ help/get informed,” I see valid reasons those aren’t good ways. But doing nothing is also not a good way.

I’m in a state of “paralysis by analysis” right now, and I assume many Davisites are, too. And I don’t know what to do about it.

LETTERS Thanks I would like to give a huge thank you to the parents who organized the graduation senior pick up event on Friday, and all the teachers, administrators, parents, kids, and other community members who made such an effort to celebrate and support our kids. It was immensely moving to our graduating senior, and to us.

We were all moved to happy tears, and most of all, our daughter had fun and felt great. As my daughter said, “This is the good thing about living in a small town.”

Mall plan As I recall from past editions of The Enterprise, Brixmor had planned to renovate University Mall, not tear it down and build a dormitory. It was city staff — the planning department and the city manager that proposed the Dormitory concept to Brixmor. This proposal has killed off a raft of businesses in the Mall.

Considering that businesses all over Davis, including at University Commons have folded, Ace Hardware has reduced its footprint and Hibbert Lumber is closed, its courting disaster to transform University Mall into a seven-story dorm.

I am heartened that The Planning Commission has blown up this ill-conceived proposal, and should the City Council accommodate it, voters should impeach supporters at the next election.

Desmond Jolly Davis

Shocked and outraged I am shocked and outraged by the unjust and painful killing of Goerge Floyd as I saw it in various videotapes. I had not yet recovered from the unjust killing of another black young man, Ahmaud Arbery.

How long this unjust treatment of our black brothers will continue. I cannot help feeling the color of the skin of these two people was the main cause of their unjust killing.

We, definitely, made some progress in the area of racial discrimination over the years. But the continuous unjust killing

Mere talk of ‘community’

A happy anniversary to VCE COMMENTARY

BY YVONNE HUNTER Special to The Enterprise

A

s Valley Clean Energy reaches its two-year anniversary, memories of my role in its formation keep popping into my head.

Way back in 2002, it was my job as a lobbyist representing a statewide association of cities to advocate on behalf of cities before the California Legislature. This included the legislation that became law and authorizes cities and counties to buy electricity on behalf of their residents and businesses.

These are known as Community Choice Aggregation (or CCA) programs.

Little did I know that, 18 years later, this new law would blossom and flourish into 21 operating CCAs throughout California, successfully serving 10 million customers in more than 170 cities and counties.

More amazing to me is that the new law ultimately enabled my own city of Davis and my county, Yolo (along with Woodland), to form their own CCA — Valley Clean Energy. Frankly, this is a very humbling experience.

VCE reflects the best of local government — local control, transparency, community engagement and expert administration — to provide services to residents and businesses it serves. I’ve had a front-row seat in VCE’s formation and evolution, from my involvement in the legislation that authorized CCAs, to membership on the Davis Advisory Committee charged with evaluating whether Davis should form a CCA, and concluding with chairing the VCE Community Advisory Committee.

It’s been an honor to serve with so many talented and dedicated individuals on the Community Advisory Committee.

Not only are they knowledgeable about energy and utility issues, they have their respective fingers on the

pulses of their communities and offer thoughtful input to the VCE board and staff.

It is exciting to observe how VCE has changed the energy landscape in Yolo County. Yes, our rates are competitive with PG&E’s, and the amount of renewable energy VCE buys is higher than PG&E’s.

What truly sets VCE apart from PG&E, though, is what was originally envisioned 18 years ago in the authorizing legislation — local energy decision-making that’s accessible to all, combined with expert staff and community members dedicated to designing programs that reflect the needs of the communities they serve.

For example, an emphasis on local community economic development and local energy development is at the core of VCE. In May, the VCE board of directors approved renewal of a small contract to purchase electricity produced at the Indian Valley Hydro Power Facility, owned and operated by the Yolo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District.

And VCE recently approved a long-term power purchase agreement to buy 50 megawatts of renewable energy from a new solar project in the Central Valley. VCE is also negotiating to buy electricity from another new solar project; our involvement will help get both of these projects built.

Finally, in April, VCE issued a request for offers to purchase renewable energy from qualifying local projects, either here in Yolo County or from the six adjacent counties.

While all of these accomplishments are important, what truly delights me is how VCE engages with the communities it serves. Do you have a question about your bill or about how VCE’s rooftop solar

program works? Would you care to comment about a proposed new program or policy or pose a question about VCE’s budget?

It is easy to connect with VCE — either drop by the VCE office (when that becomes feasible again), attend a live or virtual VCE board of directors or Community Advisory Committee meeting, or simply call or email your question at 855-6998232 or info@valleycleanenergy. org.

You can also stay informed about what’s going on by signing up for an email list at https://valleycleanener gy.org/get-in-touch/.

CE believes in meeting community members where they live — literally. Over the last two-plus years, I’ve enjoyed helping at the VCE booth at the Winters Carnitas Festival, the Woodland Honey Festival and Capay Almond Festival (yes, lots of festivals here in Yolo County) and the Davis Farmers Market.

This entails more than just hanging up the VCE banner. These events offer opportunities to listen to and talk with residents to answer questions, hear their concerns and suggestions and trouble-shoot possible problems for VCE’s customers and family.

My friends know that I like to collect T-shirts, and the turquoisegreen VCE T-shirt is one of my favorites. I’ve worn it while meeting camels in Mongolia, piranha fishing on the Amazon River and hiking at Machu Picchu. It is my way of staying connected even when I’m miles away in a different reality. But VCE is always close to my heart.

So, happy anniversary, Valley Clean Energy. Here’s to many more years of successfully serving our community.

Backing DISC proposal for regional growth

BY BARRY BROOME Special to The Enterprise

F

ew things help an economy recover faster than construction projects and the creation of high-wage jobs in a tradable industry sector.

The residents of Davis can act as leaders in the recovery of not only the community but the region.

The Davis Innovation & Sustainability Campus will be an anchor where companies can grow, innovate and solve some of the world’s most pressing problems. UC Davis has turned out some of the brightest minds in the country but unfortunately, many of them leave the region.

Right now, we only keep 30% of them in the Greater Sacramento area.

SUNDAY, JUNE 7, 2020 B5

COMMENTARY DISC provides the region and the city of Davis a resource to retain these graduates and support up to an additional five jobs for every one created on the Campus.

While some detractors will offer the standard NIMBY response to the progress of traffic and building on the periphery what they fail to understand is that communities only go in one of two directions: they grow or they die.

Growing up in Cleveland, I have seen firsthand how the fallout of a contracting community can take generations to overcome. Davis has the unique opportunity and responsibility to ensure that our region does not

experience a similar fate.

DISC fills essential gaps in our regional economy and is coming to fruition at just the right moment.

Davis lawmakers, thought leaders, and voters would be wise to support it. The project will front load millions of dollars in revenue for the City and County, including upfront impact fees for the Davis school district, public services, infrastructure, open space, public safety and affordable housing. And the jobs — estimated at 5,400 at the campus — are the tradable type that creates additional jobs in the community at a higher rate than service or government jobs.

The current pandemic has caused mass economic hardship, and the pain is only starting to be

felt by local governments.

Davis’s budget is lean even in the best economic times, and the best way to ensure that the community has the tax dollars to pay for the services the residents require is to enable more businesses to grow locally.

Evolving a community and building its economy is not for the faint of heart. In a near built out community like Davis it requires great thought.

You cannot build and sustain a great city without a great business community. DISC gives the city the ability to continue its smart and sustainable growth in a responsible manner.

ntentions and goals are only words unless they are accompanied by accomplishments, and when it comes to accomplishments, especially in the realm of renewable power, City Hall is very good at “talking the talk” but not very good at “walking the walk.”

The evidence of how little actual accomplishment the city has achieved is illuminated by looking at a sideby-side timeline of the city and Yolo County from 2011 to present.

In 2011, the major accomplishment of the city was passing a resolution establishing a program with goals and intentions and the hope of accomplishments (talk).

In 2011, Yolo County engaged a fiscal consultant, and completed and presented to the supervisors financing options for two solar energy projects that with no capital investment would provide the county with present value savings of $16.2-$36.9 million over 30 years (walk, walk).

In 2012, Davis established a program goal to offer community solar to its residents, businesses and schools, but the program failed because Davis did not have a plan to navigate around the roadblocks set up by the CPUC and PG&E (talk).

In 2012, Yolo County took action on its solar project, including approval of the detailed plan to eliminate all of its external power purchases from PG&E; approval of various agreements with PG&E necessary to implement the project; preparation of appropriate environmental review documents pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act; approval of a contract for the construction, operation and maintenance of the solar arrays to be placed at the solar facility sites; and an increase in the presentvalue savings of the project to $19.2 million ($42.8 million over 35 years) (walk, walk, walk, walk, walk).

In 2013, Yolo County was designated as one of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s top 20 on-site green power users, coming in at No. 14 (walk).

In 2015, the City started work to get Valley Clean Energy (VCE) up and running in Yolo County to empower local renewable resource development (definitely walk … by both City of Davis and County of Yolo). Since then, all we have heard from City Hall is more “talk.”

That brings us to 201920 and BrightNight. In March 2020, the City Council majority, with Lucas Frerichs in vocal dissent, signed a land-lease contract with BrightNight.

An actual leasing of land isn’t just talk, but the city very consciously chose not to actually lease the land, but rather to only grant an option to lease the land.

Further, they didn’t grant an option whose time duration equaled the two-year Cal ISO application

COMMENTARY approval process timeline … the city granted BrightNight a five-year option … at least twice what was needed.

One possible explanation could be that BrightNight sees a lot of uncertainty in their road ahead, so they asked for and got two and a half times as much Lease Option duration as was needed.

That very clear uncertainty signal by BrightNight, coupled with the fact that the lease isn’t a lease at all, makes this whole BrightNight situation just “talk” on the “talk to walk” continuum, or in the recent words of Gov. Newsom … only a proclamation of a program rather than actually solving a problem.

T

he city of Davis is also capable of being very silent when they want to shut out the public from the decision-making or problem-solving processes. Recently, staff reported to the Utilities Commission that the BrightNight solar process actually started in February 2019 … 15 months ago.

The first time the public learned anything regarding solar was 12 months into that process, when Mayor Brett Lee told the public that the Council Majority had decided to go forward with a contract with BrightNight.

A huge problem with that decision is that no matter how many times the Council labels the BrightNight project as “community solar” the fact remains that it is a “private sector solar” project.

If the city truly wanted “community solar,” when the idea first saw the light of day 15 months ago … in February 2019 … the city could have done exactly the same thing that Yolo County did, and produced a similar result; a solar project owned by the community, providing power to the community, eliminating all outside power purchases by the local government, and providing the community with at a minimum a present value savings of $19.2-$42.8 million over 35 years.

The city and VCE could have collaborated on the project, knowing that instead of exporting the dollars to the private sector for profit margin and executive salaries and dividend payments, those dollars would have stayed in the community. That is the real beauty of what Yolo County did.

The city of Davis may have had the goal and intention of a “community solar project” but what they actually accomplished was a “private sector solar project” … and a really bad financial deal for the city.

DAVIS WAY: Some classes are still available today From Page B1 is no longer new.

“They’d set aside 5,000 square feet for research,” Bernauer went on. “(And) they had no idea what to do with it.

“But I did.”

Lakie’s “Sport in American Society” offering, which explored athletics’ effect on contemporary American culture (including the interface of sport with politics, economics, religion, gender, race, media and ethics) is still taught by former Aggie coaches Lou Bronzan and Steve Doten of Aggie football and men’s water polo fame, respectively.

And Barbara Heller’s “Principles of Healthful Living” courses are still regularly offered by Aggie tennis mentor Sara Morenc (Jackson), former UCD softball coach Karen Yoder and others.

Ryan also recalled the explosion of sports psychology during his early years in Davis ...

“There was almost no one in the country doing work on the psychological aspects of performance,” he said. “Psychologists (were) working on studies involving reaction time, but nothing in my area of study, which was the motivational side.”

“Our major was unique in that it was one of the few programs around that studied the human — man as a functioning whole.”

Dean Ryan Former UCD teacher-coach In 1967, Ryan helped launch what was then the nation’s first sports-psychology association: the North American Society for the Physiology of Sport and Physical Activity (NASPSPA). He served as the tongue-twister organization’s president for a period and later in the same role for what is now called the Association for Applied Sports Psychology (AASP).

As time went on, universities across the country began adopting sports-psychology courses to their repertoires, while academic journals focused on the subject began to emerge. Meanwhile, at UCD, Ryan’s classes became some of the most popular in the department.

“Our major was unique in that it was one of the few programs around that studied the human — man as a functioning whole,” Ryan said. “That was one of the things

that made the program attractive to so many.”

In the years following, the department saw shifts in its size and function. Ryan said he watched as course offerings deviated from instruction aimed at molding the next generation of teachers and coaches to a more health-oriented path catering to future medical professionals.

A full-fledged major with graduate coursework offerings in its heyday, physical education was slowly repurposed between the mid-1980s and 1990 — with its undergraduate and graduate degrees transformed to an exercise biology major administered by the neurobiology, physiology and behavior department, while a nowdefunct exercise-science master’s degree program was supported by the College of Biological Sciences.

The undergrad exercise biology

pathway has likewise been eliminated — its fading partially a result of professors not being replaced after leaving the university or retiring, according to Hawkins.

But why phase out physical education at all?

It’s a complicated question to answer, according to those who were around when changes were made by campus administrators.

Budget shortfalls, changes in leadership and a lack of understanding of the program have been key factors sited by many.

“It’s a long story,” according to former Aggie cross-country coach Sue Williams, who also served as the director of the physicaleducation department for many years.

“There came a point where physical education was no longer viewed as an ‘academic-enough’ title,” Williams said.

“That was when a large portion of PE, including the biomechanics and exercise physiology classes, were moved into (a different department). And at that point, sometime around the mid-’90s, PE became just a ‘program’ and not a ‘major.’ ” To this day, however, physicaleducation courses remain some of

the most popular classes at UC Davis. More than 7,000 students enroll annually in almost 200 individual course offerings by the physical-education program.

As the student population continues to grow each year, those classes have become increasingly impacted, according to course coordinator Nancy Wright, who said both students and instructors have inquired about adding classes.

“And if we had the money and room to hold more classes, they’d fill up in a minute,” added Wright, who also serves as the athletic department’s contest agreements coordinator. “But securing time at our facilities is always an issue.”

Notes: The second installment in this series focuses on changes in the physical-education department over the last 25 years, and the coinciding effects related to the Davis’ transition to the NCAA’s Division I level. Longtime women’s swimming coach Barb Jahn, now in her 45th season, weighs in, as the Aggies’ lone remaining coachsupervisor along with former Athletic Director Greg Warzecka.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

These grads won’t take anything for granted

BY OWEN YANCHER Enterprise staff writer

F

or the past 2½ months, driving around Davis has been a bit of a downer.

Shops have been shuttered, most UC Davis students are gone and at times of the day you’d normally expect the downtown scene to be bustling, you can sometimes hear your own heartbeat.

But that wasn’t the case last Friday ...

I drove around smiling. And I know I wasn’t the only one...

You couldn’t move more than a block or two in any direction without crossing paths with one of the many graduating seniors

cruising around town with families in decorated cars to celebrate the final days of their high school careers. Businesses decorated their storefronts and in the parking lot of Davis High, sports teams and clubs set up booths to greet them as they snaked past.

On what seemed like every other corner, homes had out congratulatory lawn signs and people lined the streets to cheer on those 800-plus seniors from Davis Senior, King High, Da Vinci High and Davis School for Independent Study — an incredible display of community support for a group of students robbed of so much by this pandemic.

Walking through the UC Davis arboretum, a popular spot where hundreds of DHS students gather each spring to take group prom pictures, my heart broke last week when I spotted a girl taking prom photos solo.

Online, I’ve watched friends stream their own substitute college graduation ceremonies from their living rooms with parents or family pets acting as commencement speakers.

But everyone has kept their chin up. And our town is better off because of it.

So God bless all the mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers — those that have stood in for prom dates in photos, kept quiet in the room next door during

midday school Zoom sessions and been there during a time our students have needed it the most.

God bless the local educators, coaches and school administrators that have embraced distance learning with open arms and done everything in their power over the past few months to make sure our students receive the quality education and graduation experience they deserve.

And they are our students.

Because this is our town.

These are the kids that will go on to become the best teachers, coaches and motivators of our time because they now know better than anyone that

absolutely nothing in life is guaranteed.

And I know a car parade through Davis can’t replace a traditional graduation. But it sure did breathe some life back into a sleepy city this past week.

And it was the perfect cure to a craving for human interaction we’ve all so desperately needed since this shutdown began.

Hats off to event organizers Brandi Lutzker, Tricia Bosco and Jodi Liederman and congrats to the entire Davis class of 2020.

— Enterprise staff writer Owen Yancher coaches swimming at Davis High and is both a DHS and UC Davis alum.

Graduations look very different this year, but all the graduate’s accomplishments should still be celebrated.
