Thank You!

As we look forward to Labor Day, we would like to recognize and appreciate all of the Field Workers at our Local Farms for the valuable role that they play in maintaining our food system and making the items that can be found at the Co-op so easily accessible.

No end in sight for distance learning

Newsom signs AB 5 exemptions Staff and wire reports SACRAMENTO — Gov. Gavin Newsom Friday announced that he signed Assembly Bill 2257 by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego, exempting dozens of professions from AB 5’s employee-benefit requirements.

AB 5 was meant to extend employee benefits like health insurance and family leave to independent contractors, in particular those employed by gig companies like Uber and Lyft. But gig companies still haven’t complied, and workers in other industries — musicians, writers, business consultants and many others — have instead been up in arms about losing work after their contract jobs got caught up in the war over 21st-century workers rights.

This bill would amend the state labor code to exempt dozens of professional services fields from AB 5’s employee benefit

UCD ranked 2nd for social mobility

Enterprise staff writer

UC Davis has been recognized as one of the best public universities in the country at offering opportunities for upward social mobility to its graduates.

In its annual college rankings, published Sept. 1, Washington Monthly ranked UC Davis second in the nation — behind only Utah State University — when it comes to social mobility. Overall, among private and public universities, UC Davis ranked 11th.

The city also will be offering five one-week sessions of swim lessons beginning Monday, Sept. 14.

Classes will be for beginner levels only in order to focus on those with the greatest safety need. A parent or guardian will be required to be in the water with their child to assist in providing support and guidance

Students in the Davis school district will continue to study via distance learning for some time before they can return to instruction in a classroom at the local schools.

That was the gist of a discussion between school board trustees and school district administrators during Thursday’s school board meeting.

Laura Juanitas, associate superintendent of student support services, told the trustees on Thursday that in order to transition back to in-classroom instruction, the school district will need to show that there have been fewer than 55 new coronavirus cases among the district’s students over 14 days.

Juanitas added that according to the district’s most recent calculations, were were 189 new cases over the preceding 14-day

COVID cases growing among county children, young adults

VOL. 123, NO. 108

BY JEFF HUDSON

Enterprise staff writer Yolo County reported 30 more cases of the novel coronavirus on Saturday, including 11 children and nine young adults ages 18-24.

Nearly a third of the county’s total cases reported Saturday were in the city of Davis, including one individual between the ages of 0-17 and five individuals ages 18-24.

Over the last week, the county has reported 193 new cases on the online COVID dashboard as well as seven new hospitalizations and one death.

With an average of more than 27 new cases per day in the last seven days as well as a test positivity rate topping 8 percent, the

county does not appear to be heading in the right direction as far as moving out of the state’s purple Tier 1 category and into Tier 2 where more businesses would be allowed to open.

The county’s interim health officer said last week that it is unlikely Yolo County will make that move before October at the earliest.

Woodland continues to be the county’s hardest hit city, with 12 new cases reported on Saturday, bringing that city’s total to 1,080 cases, along with 66 hospitalizations and 29 deaths. Half of the new cases reported in Woodland on Saturday were children ages 0-17.

Briefly State calls for Flex Alert SACRAMENTO — Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday signed an emergency proclamation to free up additional energy capacity amid extreme temperatures across California.

The proclamation permits power plants to generate more power by suspending certain permitting requirements, helping to alleviate the heat-induced demands on the state’s energy grid.

Facilities are required to report any violations of these suspended permitting requirements to relevant local and state regulatory bodies. The proclamation also contains provisions related to the use of generators and auxiliary ship engines.

The text of Newsom’s proclamation is online at https://www.gov.ca. gov/wp-content/ uploads/2020/09/ 9.3.20-Extreme-HeatEvent-Proclamationtext.pdf.

With triple-digit heat forecast for the threeday Labor Day weekend, the state’s grid operator is calling for California residents to reduce energy consumption in the afternoon and evening to make sure that the supply of power stays ahead of the demand.

The Flex Alert, called by the California Independent System Operator, has been issued for Saturday through Monday, from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.

You want to know the true local flavor?

R

ecently, I had the chance to reminisce in this space about the days many years ago when I earned most all of my spending money by picking and selling the black walnuts that fall from trees that grow wild in and around Yolo County.

This led to a flood of correspondence from other longtime residents who had similar memories of a childhood romance with the bounty of this tree that is native to our area.

My friend Warren, who is pretty much the tree expert in this area, wrote to say, “Thank you for bringing these trees to the attention of your readers.”

The point here is that the black walnut is a humble tree greatly overshadowed by the commercially prominent English walnut that sprouts in orchards all over Northern California.

Nevertheless, years ago there was actually a market for black walnuts, mostly picked off the ground under these magnificent giants by a handful of kids willing to suffer permanently greenstained hands for a few bucks of spending money.

Occasionally, whole families would pick black walnuts in an attempt to make ends meet.

Nowadays, of course, the state of California would not allow

walnut pickers to be independent contractors and the folks paying us a buck a gunnysack would also have to provide us with full medical coverage, paid vacation and 401K contributions.

If the picking was good, you could fill an entire gunnysack — equivalent to about five or six wash buckets full of nuts — in an hour, which was an incredibly good wage in those days. Of course, you still had to sew up the bag and get it downtown to the Donnell feed store that instantly traded dollar bills for your hardearned walnuts, a process that took nearly as long as it did to pick the nuts.

But the beauty of black walnuts was that we didn’t need a ladder to help climb the tree to pick the nuts. No, we’d just wait for a strong and reliable north wind to do the picking for us. Without exception, you harvested black walnuts on your hands and knees.

For a dollar, I could buy 20 packs of baseball cards, always searching for a Mickey Mantle, a Moose Skowron, an Ernie Banks or a Sandy Koufax. Not to mention a flat, brittle square of pink bubble gum hidden among the cards.

For that same dollar I could buy 10 maple bars at the Vienna Bakery.

Both the baseball cards and the maple bars are still with me to this very day, the former hidden away in a secret hiding spot inside the tree house in the backyard and the latter hidden directly under my T-shirt.

A

s my friend Warren, the tree expert, explains it, “From the late 1800s until the early 1900s, the Northern California black walnut was popular as a shade tree for streets, including downtown Davis and other local public and ranch roads.”

Indeed, while they do grow in the wild all over our area, they were planted as shade trees by some folks, but never in orchards for harvesting. Black walnuts were simply never viable as a commercial venture.

Adds Warren, “Although most of these old trees have been killed back or are dying from thousand canker disease, some big ones remain. Most were removed from

Cooling center open through Tuesday

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer With an excessive heat watch issued for the region over the next several days, the city of Davis will extend operations at its cooling center through Tuesday.

The Davis Senior Center, 646 A St., will be available every day between noon and 6 p.m. for those who need shelter from the heat.

Face coverings and social distancing will be required.

High temperatures are expected to soar into the triple digits Saturday through Tuesday and the city is encouraging everyone to take precautions, including: ■ Ensure you have ample water on hand. If you plan to be camping or at outdoor activities, find shade and pack extra water.

■ Stay cool indoors in air-conditioned facilities, especially during the hottest part of the day. Residents who do not have adequate air conditioning should find a friend or relative to stay with during the hottest parts of the day or another location where air conditioning is available.

■ Pace yourself and avoid heavy exertion in the heat.

■ Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing, a broad-brimmed hat and sunscreen.

■ Cover windows that receive morning or afternoon sun with drapes, shades or awnings.

■ Stay indoors as much as possible. If air conditioning is not available, stay on the lowest floor, out of the sunshine. Even in the

warmest weather, staying indoors, out of the sun, is safer than long periods of exposure to the sun.

■ Eat well-balanced, light and regular meals.

Avoid hot and salty foods, heavy meals and limit alcoholic beverages.

■ Drink plenty of fluids, particularly water, even if you do not feel thirsty. Your body needs water to keep cool.

■ If you become lightheaded, feel confused or experience any other symptoms of heat exhaustion, get to a cool area until you feel better.

■ Never leave a person or animal in a parked car.

Temperatures inside a closed vehicle can reach dangerous levels quickly.

■ Do not forget pets and livestock; they need extra water and shade.

city of Davis streets years ago. Too big, too messy, disfigured by mistletoe, too many sprained ankles from stepping on the fallen walnuts, in the way of construction, damage to sidewalks and curbs buckled by roots are some of the reasons.”

Every now and then during a drive in the country when I encounter the ground under a black walnut tree covered with nuts, I get the urge to grab the kids and a couple of buckets and show them what was involved in this highly skilled profession.

Alas, I haven’t seen a “We buy black walnuts” sign anywhere in Yolo County for a number of years now.

You can still find a number of these mighty trees out in the local countryside if you look hard enough. So take a strong hammer with you on one of those Sunday rides and gather up a handful of the small, round, black nuts collected under the tree. Crack them open carefully and savor the unique flavor of the meat inside.

Taste is one of those senses that can instantly take you back in time, even if decades have passed since you last experienced it.

Trust me, black walnut is a flavor you’ll never forget.

E Street Plaza to expand dining, shopping A

fter this holiday weekend, Open Air Davis will look a little different. This summer, it included the weekend conversion of two street sections to pedestrian-only zones: G Street between Second and Third, and the block of Second Street between E and F. Second Street, which has more retail stores than restaurants, has been the least successful of the two. It’s difficult for shops to move merchandise outside into the heat, and often requires additional staffing. This will be the final weekend for that zone.

Starting Sept. 11, the city and Davis Downtown Business Association will convert the north section of the E Street Plaza parking lot into an expanded pedestrian zone. Here, the outside restaurant tables and other services will be available every day — not just on the weekends.

G Street’s closure to vehicular traffic will remain Friday mornings through Sunday nights (and Labor Day). It and the plaza will continue through November, weather permitting.

As temperatures (hopefully) cool, eateries are starting to make accommodations for cooler weather. However, full tent enclosures would be considered indoors and not permitted.

“Our entire team moved to remote work in early March at the onset of coronavirus,” said CPA Meaghan Likes, whose firm offers bookkeeping and virtual chief financial officer services.

Six months later, they still serve clients virtually, and expect to for some time. “We found a new office that is a bit more practical and better-suited for our current situation. It is a smaller space than our old one, but just as chic and inviting.”

——— On Sept. 1, Helmus Optometry took over the Second street office mentioned above.

“We expanded into the upstairs space above our longstanding downstairs storefront (at 353 Second St.),” Dr. Julie Helmus said. The optometry office is “using the upstairs space for administrative personnel as well as a big and comfy new staff lounge. This helps us social distance as well as gives our employees a nice space overlooking the downtown to enjoy their lunch.” They also plan to use it for staff meetings and training.

Main Street ‘sideshows’ in Woodland lead to pursuit

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer A series of Woodland “sideshow” gatherings kept police scrambling last weekend, at one point triggering a multi-county vehicle pursuit, the Woodland Police Department reported Friday.

According to Sgt. Victoria Danzl, officers spent several hours responding to the sideshows — popup events where drivers perform automotive stunts — that were occurring throughout the city.

“While the sideshows

were occurring, several subjects/vehicles took over the intersection of Main Street and Second Street and were ‘doing donuts’ and getting out of their cars and climbing light poles,” Danzl said.

A California Highway Patrol helicopter flew over that area to assist, identifying violators for officers on the ground. As vehicles began leaving the area, “one of the subjects blew past an officer, committing multiple vehicle code violations,” Danzl said.

When the officer attempted a vehicle stop,

Enterprise staff writer The alleged burglar who caused an hours-long standoff with Davis police last week was taken into custody a second time only hours after his first arrest, the Woodland Police Department reported Friday.

Adison Mortenson, 30, caught the attention of police shortly after 1 a.m. on Aug. 29, when a patrol officer heard “suspicious noises” coming from a closed nail salon in the 1700 block of East Main Street, Sgt. Victoria Danzl said.

Police found Mortenson nearby and arrested him on suspicion of loitering

The driver, identified as 24-year-old Jose Dos Santos-Silva of Daly City, was arrested and booked into the Yolo County Jail on charges of reckless driving, evading police and driving with a suspended license.

and possessing burglary tools, Danzl said. Just the day before, Davis police arrested Mortenson after he allegedly broke into the Turning Point substanceabuse recovery center at Second and I streets and held officers, who believed he may have been armed, at bay for more than four hours.

That incident prompted police to cordon off the area surrounding the building, issue a citywide shelter-in-place advisory and summon the SWAT team as well as the Yolo County Bomb Squad.

Mortenson, who made his second trip to the Yolo County Jail in two days following the Woodland arrest, was no longer in custody as of Friday.

The West Plainfield Fire Department is investigating the cause of a rural Davis house fire that brought multiple fire agencies and other first-responders to the scene. The blaze on Russell Boulevard near County Road 96 began at about 3:15 a.m. Thursday on the home’s exterior and spread to the attic, leading to assistance from the Davis, UC Davis, Woodland, Winters fire departments as well as the Yolo Fire Protection District. Yolo County sheriff’s deputies and an ambulance crew also responded to the scene, where one person was treated for smoke inhalation.

COVID: Nine more cases in Davis From Page A1 Cases of COVID-19 in children ages 0-17 were reported Saturday in West Sacramento as well as in the unincorporated area of the county.

The city of Davis, meanwhile, continues to fare better than the rest of the county, with just over 10 percent of the county’s total cases and no new hospitalizations or deaths for months.

Nine cases were reported in Davis on Saturday, bringing the city’s total to 271, including 80 in the 18-24 age group and 13 in children 17 and under. The city has seen an uptick in cases in both age groups.

With the Labor Day weekend’s arrival, county officials urged residents to take

precautions to prevent the spread of the virus.

“Please stay vigilant about COVID-19 this Labor Day weekend,” Supervisor Jim Provenza of Davis said in a social media post.

“Avoid large group events, wear a mask and wash your hands,” he said. “Remember the virus is most likely to be spread indoors and in enclosed spaces. If you must have contact with a person not in your household, do it outdoors, with face masks and distancing.

“Working together we can all get through this.”

OBITUARIES James Eaton Hoff Aug. 17, 1937 — Aug. 15, 2020

Jim Eaton Hoff ’s family recently gathered for three days in Colorado to celebrate his life. The festivities began with prayers led by friend Reverend Heather Mueller who officiated via FaceTime from Maui.

While hiking the Boulder hills, doing sunrise yoga at Red Rocks and cooking favorite meals, they shared memories of fun times with Jim/Dad/Grandpa. They also reflected how Jim’s integrity, athleticism, confidence and generosity influenced their lives. Inspiring stories of friendship, courage and competition sent by Jim’s fraternity brothers added meaningful perspective also.

Jim was born in Chicago but lived in Frankfort, Mich., through Jr. High. He graduated from Shaker Heights High School in Ohio, earned a bachelor’s degree from Ohio’s Miami University and an MBA in finance from Stanford University.

Sharing his father’s passion for the stock market, Jim entered Dean Witter’s training program in San Francisco.

In 1962 he married Kate Johnson, a physical therapist who had caught his eye

at the historic Oasis Beer Garden in Palo Alto. They moved to Modesto where Jim was a stockbroker for two years and daughter Gretchen was born. During the next five years daughter Nancy Jo was born, Jim taught statistics at three California State Universities and acquired his CPA with Arthur Andersen in San Francisco. Jim’s interest in securities never waned, however. He proposed trading options on individual equities in an investment magazine. A Chicago team was piloting the idea and asked him to help. The family moved to Hinsdale, IL. Almost four years later, on April 26, 1973 the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) opened with much fanfare. Today it is the world’s largest exchange of its kind.

In December 1973 Jim’s family returned to California – to Davis where Jim’s parents and sister lived. Jim taught accounting at UC Davis and traded options on the CBOE. He launched a successful solo accounting practice with Steve Marks of Woodland as his first client. Steve and

other business owners depended on Jim’s expertise for 22 years until FTD (Frontal Temporal Dementia) forced him to retire in 2006.

Cradled in Katie’s arms, Jim died at his El Macero home just shy of his 83rd birthday.

Although Jim and Katie spent a lot of time on a client’s Maui ranch, Jim preferred vacationing locally.

Family and friends looked forward to annual Delta house boating and Tahoe ski trips. Nightly card games were essential.

Jim especially loved poker. He played anyplace he could — starting with his Sigma Nu house room which was typically open for a game. In Davis he frequented the Paragon for Texas hold ’em.

Jim was a natural athlete. In spite of a leg lamed by childhood polio, he was a fierce competitor in college intramural sports like basketball, table tennis and handball. Later he excelled in racquetball, competing in Davis well into his 60s.

Switching hands to cover more territory and delivering a powerful, low corner shot,

he was amazing to watch. With ping pong in the garage and a basketball hoop on the driveway he welcomed competition at home too. Jim was a die hard Bears and Cubs fan. He also loved being involved with the Davis Blue Devils while his daughters were in school. He even drove the 1985 class homecoming float which was built on top of his old car decorated so tightly he slid through the window to get in. Jim had faith in God and in himself too.

He took risks in work and in play. He encouraged people around him to do the same, mentoring several along the way.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents Arthur and Marion Hoff, sister Linda Frost, brother Arthur Hoff (Barbara) and his daughter Gretchen White (Craig). He is survived by Katie, his wife of 58 years, daughter Nancy Jo Armswood (Drew), granddaughters Nicole and Courtney Armswood and Megan White, nieces Leslie Allen (Kevin) and Susan Frost and nephews Mark Tebbutt (Maria) and Steven Tebbutt (Shelly). Graveside services will be held at St. John’s Episcopal Church, Kula, Maui.

John Anderson

Feb. 23, 1943 — Aug. 19, 2020 John Anderson, veterinarian and pioneer in the restoration of native California grasslands, died on Aug. 19, 2020, at the age of 77. He’s considered by many in the conservation community to be a visionary who developed methods for turning barren, weed-choked land into flourishing native habitats.

Since he was a teenager, Anderson had a passionate connection to the natural world and was at ease handling every kind of wild creature, from skunks to rattlesnakes. He decided to pursue a career as a veterinarian and in 1970 he graduated UC Davis with his Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. He became a specialist in primate medicine and worked for 17 years at the UC Davis California Primate Research Center. In 1980 he spent three months consulting at a primate center in Tigoni, Kenya. That was where he first came to appreciate the hedgerows that surrounded properties in the Kenyan highlands.

While working as a “monkey doctor,” as the local farmers liked to call him, Anderson and his wife Marsha purchased a 50-acre farm in Winters. He was struck by the absence of wildlife in what was a rural area and he observed that the farming practice of

keeping field edges bare and weedfree contributed to this lack of wildlife. Anderson theorized that planting hedgerows of native plants and grasses around the fields would not only create corridors for wildlife but it could benefit the crops by bringing in beneficial insects and reduce the need to spray for pests and invasive weeds. While serving on the board of the Yolo County Resource Conservation District he promoted the practice of bringing farm edges back to life.

He introduced a rich variety of native trees and shrubs and plants — wild roses, elderberries, cottonwoods, valley oaks and willows to the hedgerows on his own farm. He collected native grass and wildflower seed and sowed, propagated and planted them on the edges of the fields, the sides of roads and irrigation ditches. The experiment worked. Species of birds that hadn’t been seen in decades started coming back as well as snakes, deer, fox, cottontails, wild turkey — even a bear or two started making an appearance.

Anderson didn’t stop there. By the early ’90s the farm had expanded to 520 acres.

He retired from veterinary medicine and established Hedgerow Farms. The farm is

still one of the most important growers of California native grass and wildflower seed in northern California. He became a full-time farmer and an advocate for habitat restoration using the farm as a teaching site. He convinced farmers and land managers of the value in planting native species and was a generous, wise and tireless mentor for countless people who sought him out to learn his conservation methods.

He was a founder of the California Native Grasslands Association and served on the boards of the National Audubon Society, Audubon California, Wildlife Heritage Foundation and Yolo Basin Foundation. He received numerous awards for his visionary work, including Cal-IPC’s Ryan Jones Catalyst Award, Cal-IPC’s Jake Sigg Award for Vision and Dedicated Service, the 2014 Sacramento Tree Foundation’s C.K. McClatchy Award and SERCAL’s first-ever lifetime achievement award in 2017.

During his lifetime Anderson spent every moment he could in his beloved outdoors.

He enjoyed hunting, especially waterfowl and upland game birds, with his Labrador retriever or springer spaniel at his side. He

trained Labrador retrievers and several of his dogs received Field and Amateur Field Champion titles. He also loved to fly fish with his family, either on the Henry’s Fork of the Snake River in Idaho, where he introduced his daughters to fishing, or on other wild and remote rivers.

Anderson’s cause of death was from complications of Lewy body dementia. When he was diagnosed with the disease six years ago, Anderson, ever the scientist, accepted that it was eventually going to take him down. But that didn’t stop him from setting his sights on an over-grazed, weedy piece of land that was in need of restoration. He wouldn’t give up. He wanted to leave this life knowing that he did everything he could to give the natural world that he loved so much a fighting chance.

Anderson is survived by his wife Marsha; daughters Anne Anderson and Jenny Vermillion; son-in-law Pat Vermillion; granddaughters Josie and Isla Vermillion; his brother Tom Anderson and spouse Tamia Marg; and sister Jane Anderson and spouse Tess Ayers.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Donations in honor of John’s legacy can be made to California Native Grasslands Assn. or Yolo Hospice.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

RANKED: Yolo County announces locations UCD 13th of voter assistance centers overall

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer

From Page A1 considers graduation rates over eight years, the number students who receive Pell Grants and other socioeconomic data on student populations, affordability, the median income of graduates 10 years after enrollment, and student loan repayment.

“Washington Monthly’s annual college guide ranks individual schools based on how well they promote upward mobility, research, and civic engagement,” the publication says.

In a broader ranking, which considered universities’ overall commitment to the three categories, UC Davis placed 13th. Now in its 16th year, the Washington Monthly rankings considered 1,469 colleges in total.

In ranking colleges, Washington Monthly asks: “Which colleges deliver the best results for taxpayers — who invest more than $150 billion annually in student financial aid — and for typical students, especially those who are minorities, the first in their family to attend college, or of modest means?”

In addition to UC Davis, Washington Monthly ranked several other UC campuses among its top colleges.

UC San Diego was ranked the ninth-best college overall, UCLA 11th, UC Berkeley 17th, UC Santa Barbara 20th, UC Irvine 22th and UC Riverside 27th.

AB 5: Clash of priorities From Page A1 requirements, including photographers, artists, writers, musicians, cartographers, translators and many others.

Surging unemployment during the virusinduced recession has changed the conversation about the future of work in California.

AB 5 was passed at the height of a tech boom that highlighted widening inequality in the state, when labor groups were emboldened to demand more from deep-pocketed tech companies largely operating outside regulations that apply to oldline industries.

But at the same time that gig companies were ascending and corporations were converting full-time jobs to contract ones, professional creatives and consultants were opting for freelance work in record numbers. Contractors who had figured out a way to make it work said their livelihoods were jeopardized by AB 5’s strict requirements.

Now, with millions of unemployed or underemployed Californians seeking out odd contract jobs to get by, the question is whether stronger labor laws will hold up to mounting economic anxiety.

Newsom has yet to act on a related bill, AB323, which would extend a one-year exemption for media companies to treat newspaper carriers as contractors.

— CalMatters, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics, contributed to this report.

Yolo County’s elections office has responded to requests for a voter assistance center in South Davis by moving the center that had been proposed for Harper Junior High School to Montgomery Elementary School.

The Montgomery multipurpose room will be one of four centers in the city of Davis where residents can register to vote, receive assistance and vote early between Saturday, Oct. 31, and Tuesday, Nov. 3.

The other centers will be located at the UC Davis ARC ballroom, the Veterans Memorial Center multi-purpose room and the Patwin Elementary School multi-purpose room The county elections office had proposed four locations for voter assistance centers last month (including Harper) seeking

public comment. After comment came in requesting that a center be placed in South Davis, “we immediately started a conversation with the Davis Joint Unified School District to see if this request could be fulfilled and we received a very positive response,” said Jesse Salinas, the county’s assessor/clerk-recorder/ registrar of voters.

“Our schools are an essential part of the fabric of the Davis community and we are pleased to be able to host two voting stations at our facilities, including a South Davis location that can provide better access for more neighborhoods,” said John Bowes, superintendent of DJUSD. At voter assistance centers, residents can drop off completed vote-by-mail ballots; replace vote-bymail ballots and envelopes; vote a regular (live) ballot; receive language assistance

and accommodations; find accessible voting machines; complete same-day voter registration and conditional voter registration; and cast a provisional vote.

The voter assistance centers will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2 and from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on election day.

Meanwhile, the county will also be placing ballot drop-off boxes in four other locations throughout Davis where voters can drop their completed ballots beginning Monday, Oct. 5.

Those locations will include City Hall, both Nugget Market locations and Westlake Market in West Davis.

All told, the Yolo County elections office is placing 12 voter assistance centers and 12 drop-off ballot boxes throughout the county.

DISTANCE: A lot has to happen before doors open From Page A1 period. That puts the district in the state’s Purple category in the state’s recently-adopted color coded system for evaluating coronavirus statistics — purple meaning that the coronavirus is “widespread.”

Other rankings on the state’s new coronavirus scale include: ■ Red, indicating “substantial”; ■ Orange, indicating “substantial”; and ■ Yellow, indicating “minimal.”

Most of California’s 58 counties are currently ranked “purple” (widespread). Only three largely rural counties in mountainous areas — Alpine, Modoc and Tuolumne — are rated yellow (“minimal”) .

When the virus infection rate comes down to a point where it is feasible to reopen schools, the districts will still need time (most likely several weeks) to gear up for daily operations at school campuses that have essentially been mothballed since March 2020.

Schools can serve free meals through December Enterprise staff On Aug. 31, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced it will extend several flexibilities to allow summer meal program operators like the Davis school district to continue serving free meals to all children age 18 and under through Dec. 31, as funding allows.

The Davis school district’s free meal service for children will continue Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the following school sites: ■ Montgomery Elementary: 1441 Danbury St. ■ Harper Junior High: 4000 E. Covell Blvd.

■ Davis Senior High: Pick up in the parking lot off Oak Avenue, behind the All Student Center.

■ Patwin Elementary: 2222 Shasta Drive.

Meal service will also continue at the Davis Migrant Camp until it closes for the season in October.

Children do not need to be present to receive a meal. No ID is required.

OBITUARIES Edmund Bellinger Lewis, Sr. Jan. 8, 1927 — Aug. 4, 2020

Edmund Bellinger Lewis passed away in his home on August 4, 2020. He was 93 years old.

Ed was born in Birmingham, Ala., and raised in Chapel Hill, N.C. At age 16, he joined the effort in WW II as a radio operator in the Merchant Marine. There, he converted to the Catholic faith that would guide the rest of his life. He left the Merchant Marine at age 19 and joined the Trappist monastery in Berryville, Va. He was lead cantor in the monastery and had a beautiful singing voice.

Ed decided to leave the monastery 10 years later. Two days out of the monastery he met RoseMary Castelli in New York City. Two weeks after meeting her, he proposed marriage. He was fond of recounting, “I knew what I wanted in a woman, and Rosie was it.”

Seven years later, they had six children. They remained married for over 63 years.

Ed completed a master’s degree in physics from New York University. He worked at many jobs, including photographer, x-ray machine salesman and high school science teacher. His true love was teaching. His students loved him, and he would invite them to work his ham radio in the family basement in Brooklyn. He taught for over 35 years.

He was an avid bicyclist and used to commute to work at Midwood High School in Brooklyn by bike, rain or shine, at a time

when this was not common.

Together, he and Rose raised not only their own children, but also would take in young people who needed help. It always seemed like there was someone else living in the house while the children were growing up.

Never one to stop learning, after retirement from teaching, Ed got a job repairing automatic teller machines.

He and Rose ultimately retired to Vermont to be closer to family, where he taught Sunday school and volunteered to drive cancer patients to their appointments.

After RoseMary passed away, he moved to Davis to live with his daughter. He was 91 years old when he purchased a recumbent tricycle to commute to morning mass. He fit right into the culture in his new town of Davis.

He always loved Jesus and his faith was central to his life. He joins his wife in Heaven and is survived by six children: Christopher, Edmund Jr., Jonathan, Gregory, Maria and Andrew. He is also survived by his eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, as well as by his sister Catherine Hume.

There will be an outdoor memorial Mass at St. James Catholic Church in Davis at 10 a.m.

Tuesday, Sept. 8. His ashes will be interred at a later date, to rest beside his wife in Brattleboro, Vt. Those who wish to sign a guestbook online may do so at www.smith-funerals.com.

Joe Hall

Nov. 11, 1938 — Aug. 27, 2020 Joe Hall passed away peacefully on Aug. 27 with his beloved wife Susan by his side. He valiantly battled bladder cancer, and ultimately succumbed to health complications that arose as a result of treatments.

Joe was born on Nov. 11, 1938, in Parma, Idaho, to Sarah and George Hall, who preceded him in death. He had three brothers who predeceased him, Ray, Grant and Wally. He leaves behind his sister, Cheryl (Mark) Johnson, who will miss him dearly.

Joe spent several years at the University of Oregon at the behest of a high school teacher who agreed to pay Joe’s tuition, knowing his family did not have the means.

Throughout his life, Joe remained a loyal Ducks fan. After moving to the Sacramento area, he ultimately graduated from Sacramento State University.

In 1961, he married Nancy Weaver and they had three children, Joe Hall, Dave Hall and Marjorie (Michael) Terry. Joe was always there to lend an ear and give sound advice, and he loved taking his kids to San Francisco on Black Friday to Christmas shop. He was known as Sawpa to his grandsons Matthew, Shawn, Dillon and Parker, and his great-grandchildren Addison and Jackson.

Joe served his country for eight years in the Marine reserves. He had a successful career working in the farm equipment business and he retired from Weaver Tractor in 1976. He then stayed home with his children and prepared to become a certified public accountant. Joe had a private CPA

practice in Davis for several years and then moved his practice to Napa and Dixon.

In 1989, he married Susan Wilkinson Vandermer. Together they made many happy memories traveling, RVing, playing golf and spending time with many dear friends. Joe was an amazing step-father to Susan’s three daughters, Elizabeth Lacey, Katie Geminder and Jenny (Richard) Bennett. His granddaughters Olivia, Lily, Lucy, Lena, Amelia and Audra cherished their Joe-Joe. Joe enjoyed barbecuing, woodworking, competing in chili cook-offs and walking his faithful companion, his poodle Blue.

His kindness, easy smile, quick wit, calm nature and ability to carve a turkey will be missed by all who loved him.

Joe was very proud of his decision to donate his body to the UC Davis Medical School. His hope was that this gesture would help to further medical science. In accordance with his wishes, there will not be a service, but his family invites you to visit and leave a message at the online memorial: www.forevermissed.com/joe-hall.

If you would like to honor Joe’s memory, the family requests donations be made to the Rotary Club of Dixon, PO Box 181, Dixon, CA 95620 — an organization for which he spent countless hours volunteering at the pumpkin patch, crab feeds, pancake breakfasts, dog shows or any other events where his skills and hard work may have been needed.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2018 A7

Davis should try to set a good example W

hen UC Davis shut down all campus operations back in the spring, some students left town.

But the majority of them stuck it out through the end of the quarter, helping buoy the local economy, even as statewide shutdown orders laid siege to Davis’ downtown business core.

But this fall will present an entirely different beast for our local economy to fight, as many of those same students won’t even be here to start with.

As UCD resumes fall instruction online later this month, it’s still unclear how many of the nearly 40,000 Aggies have plans to return. As a result, local vacancy rates are expected to jump significantly.

A recent article in The Associated Press noted that Davis is among the top-four college towns in the U.S. (with populations of 50,000 or more) with the largest share of its residents enrolled in the university.

According to the AP story, with roughly 37 percent of the town being students, Davis trails only Ames, Iowa (Iowa State, 45 percent), Bloomington, Ind. (University of Indiana, 43), and College Station, Texas (Texas A&M, 42) in this respect.

What’s interesting, however, is that Davis is the only one of those four schools not planning to resume fall instruction in-person. In fact, Davis is the only college in the top 10 on the AP list not reopening its campus to students (though No. 10 UNC Chapel Hill has since reverted to virtual instruction following a PR disaster with more than 1,000 Tar Heels students testing positive in their first week back).

That said, how much longer can Davis last like this?

Another six months? The entire academic year?

This past week, I chatted with John Whitcombe, a partner and founder of Tandem Properties, which houses more than 5,200 local residents across its 14 housing communities.

Born in Davis in 1940, he knows a thing or two about the town.

“We had some times in the 1980s when there were a lot of vacancies,” John told me. “But that was during a period with a lot of ‘no-growthers’ on the city council.”

What was allowed to be built during those times, however, was apartment units, including several of Tandem’s properties.

John says the highest citywide vacancy he can recall coincided with the economic setback of 1992 — a year UCD actually decreased its student enrollment numbers temporarily.

“We had about an 11-percent vacancy back then,” he said.

“And it was near eight percent for Tandem.”

But Davis has never had to weather anything like this pandemic. And as a result, John thinks there’s a very good chance the community could see vacancies climb to around 20 percent this year.

“Our future as a business depends on the future of UC Davis,” he added. “And the same really goes for Davis as a community. We all have to work together to help mitigate this virus.”

Already, Tandem is working with the city, UCD and county on putting together COVID-19

safety protocols for each of its apartment communities so that plans are in place for any and every situation this fall.

“And those are plans we want to be able to share with all the smaller housing providers in Davis,” John said. “Ones that may not have the resources to develop those kinds of plans themselves.”

But that still means every resident, student and apartment owner has to be on board moving forward. Otherwise, any chance of a campus reopening only gets kicked further and further down the road.

Case in point: Just this past Sunday, Chico State embarrassed itself.

Less than a week into the Wildcats’ online fall semester, COVID rates began to spike in the city, eventually prompting the university to ask the hundreds of students it had allowed to move into dormitories last week to vacate them as soon as possible.

With at least one positive coronavirus case in every one of its residence halls, Chico students were given until this Sunday to pack their belongings and get out.

Still, as of right now, UCD

students are scheduled to begin campus move-ins as early as next week.

Davis students — both those living on and off campus — will be required to complete daily symptom surveys and be tested through a high-throughput saliva screening process (run through the UCD Genome Center).

But that still doesn’t mean kids won’t party in large groups and infect one another, as we saw in Chico.

John and I both agree: If we can all work together to tackle this, Davis can have a special place in history. We can be an example for other schools and cities to follow.

And regardless of your thoughts on COVID-19, I think we all want things back to the way they were in the “before times” as soon as possible.

But it only takes one group of UCD students or one Davis apartment owner letting their guard down and we’ll all suffer.

It’s up to us.

Let’s not let Davis become another Chico.

This is definitely a back-to-school year like no other

BY NATALIA BALTAZAR Special to The Enterprise

B

ack to school is very different this year.

In Yolo County, students, teachers, administrators, parents and caregivers are all adapting to 100% distance learning in an effort to protect the community during the pandemic. Empower Yolo’s shelter staff and After School Safety and Enrichment for Teens staff have been preparing for a school year like no other.

As many parents are adjusting to working at home while managing remote learning with their children, imagine distance learning with about 15 children from four different school districts, ranging from kindergarten to college grade levels.

Empower Yolo’s shelter staff has been working tirelessly to prepare the children in the shelter to return to school remotely juggling their different schedules, computer programs/technology, and different needs for each child.

“We created two classrooms in the shelter to accommodate all the children doing their distance learning in a safe, quiet and productive environment,” says Sandra Solorzano, Deputy Shelter Director, Empower Yolo.

The Davis Joint Unified School District has been helpful in assisting shelter staff prepare the children.

They provided two new desks to help accommodate all the students, provided Chromebooks and

EMPOWER YOLO headsets for the children who needed them, and one hotspot.

Although the shelter staff was prepared, they were met with some challenges.

“With the different grade levels from kindergarten through college it has been a challenge helping each student set up as many of them are using different online programs, which most parents and kids have never even used before; and for some parents it’s the first time they are using a computer. We also need to keep the little ones under 5 years old entertained, as they are not in school,” says Solorzano.

In addition to back-toschool efforts, the shelter is also undergoing a complete shelter kitchenremodeling project, which began in July 2020.

There’s a lot to manage at the shelter at this time while also trying to keep everyone safe and healthy especially during the pandemic. Shelter staff are also tasked with providing all extra support the children and families need.

Through it all the children, clients and shelter staff persevere working together to support the kids’ education and wellbeing; and the shelter staff continue to make the clients and their children the first priority.

Thanks to wonderful donors, including Purpose Nutrition in Woodland, Davis Community Church,

RISE in Winters, Yolo County Association of Realtors and private donors, every student received a backpack with school supplies and a headset to prepare them for the school year. We are grateful to these donors for their generosity and support.

Help support the students in the shelter by providing healthy snacks and drinks for the shelter classrooms (individually wrapped snacks are best, such as granola bars, fruit snacks, cracker packs, or pretzel packs). Donations can be dropped off at the main office, 175 Walnut St. in Woodland, or the D Street Resource Center, 441 D St., Davis; MondayThursday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

ASSETS Empower Yolo also supports teens attending Pioneer High School and

Woodland High School through its ASSETs program.

The ASSETs team has worked hundreds of hours researching resources, planning, and creating lesson plans to ensure that they are prepared to meet the needs of the students and families they serve in the remote environment. “Over the summer, we engaged in virtual trainings on social emotional support, developing engaging virtual programs, and learning more about virtual programs and supports available to enhance our services and offerings.

We feel confident in supporting the students this fall,” says Fabian Iglesias, Director of Youth Programs & ASSETs Program Manager, Empower Yolo.

ASSETs will offer success coaching and advising via Zoom to discuss and strategize on topics such as: college and career plans, résumé strategies,

job searches, time management and managing stress. ASSETs will also be providing academic and tutoring services, social and wellness programs, college and career programs, leadership and community service programs, and the opportunity for students to engage in or create clubs.

“One of the challenges we expect to continue working through is students’ technology fatigue.

Due to the increased amount of online meetings for students, we need to continue innovating ways to engage students in our programs, and align our online offerings with their interests and needs,” explains Iglesias.

The community can help support our teens. “As a community we need to continue to hold space for youths during these challenging times. As we know, many youths are experiencing difficulty adapting

to the continuous changes brought on by COVID-19.

UCD alumnus earns prestigious award Enterprise staff UC Davis alumnus and ant morphologist Brendon Boudinot, who received his doctorate in entomology in June, is the recipient of the coveted Robert E. Snodgrass Memorial Research Award from the Entomological Society of America. The award is presented by ESA’s Systematics, Evolution and Biodiversity Section.

Boudinot, who BOUDINOT studied with major Earns professor Phil Ward research of the UC Davis award department of entomology and nematology, is the second UC Davisaffiliated entomologist to receive the honor in its 28-year history.

Jessica Gillung of the Lynn Kimsey lab, Bohart Museum of Entomology, won the award in 2019.

NAME DROPPERS Snodgrass (1875-1962), a leader in insect morphology, is known for his 76 scientific articles and six books, including “Insects, Their Ways and Means of Living” (1930) and the book considered to be his crowning achievement, “Principles of Insect Morphology” (1935).

Boudinot has them all. “‘Principles of Insect Morphology’ and ‘Anatomy of the Honey Bee’ were the foundation of my studies,” he said.

“I have both, plus his ‘Textbook of Arthropod Morphology’ and ‘Insects, Their Ways and Means of Living’ on my desk in the lab.”

The Snodgrass Award, which includes a certificate and cash prize, recognizes outstanding research by a Ph.D. student who has completed a research thesis or dissertation in arthropod morphology, systematics,

taxonomy or evolution.

Nominees are scored on honors, awards, achievements and recognition; recommendations of professors and advisors; grantsmanship, publications, creativity and innovation of thesis or dissertation; and contribution to morphology.

Boudinot’s dissertation is “Systematic and Evolutionary Morphology: Case Studies on Formicidae, Mesozoic Aculeata, and Hexapodan Genitalia.”

He earlier received the prestigious Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship to do research on evolutionary and comparative anatomy in Jena, Germany.

He will go to Germany in early 2021 for the two-year fellowship after completing intensive language studies.

SLIDE HILL PARK SLIDERS

Davisite on top of his game Golf or the Weather Channel?

I

don’t generally write about golf, given that it is no doubt the most boring sport known to man — next to bowling — and I don’t want people to use this space as a sleep aid.

But, given the lack of meaningful sports programming on TV this weekend, let’s take a minute to focus on the unique scoring system of a golfing event known as the FedEx Cup; an event that is taking place even as we speak.

Seems the FedEx Cup standings are compiled over a full season of professional golf, which is fine. The NFL, the NBA and Major League Baseball all do the same thing.

However, in determining the seasonlong champion who will claim the $15 million top prize, the golfer leading the FedEx Cup standings heading into this weekend’s final event was given a head start.

You read that right. Indeed, of the 30 golfers who qualified for this final and deciding tournament, the season-long points leader was allowed to start the tournament at 10 under par. Yes, 10-under par.

In a normal tournament, of course, every competitor starts at even par and things proceed from there.

The player who came in second in season-long points started at 8-under par and so on until those ranked between 26 and 30 started at even par.

I am not making this up.

Thus, a chap named Dustin Johnson started play on Friday at 10-under, while Cameron Champ and Viktor Hovland started at even par.

Imagine being in a tournament where you are already 10 strokes down before play has even begun. I’m not sure what the strategy is for such a scenario other than to have your migraine medicine handy.

Does anyone actually think when the $15 million top prize in handed out Monday afternoon that Cameron Champ will be the champ? Or that Viktor Hovland will be the victor?

O

n the flip side, imagine the pressure and sense of failure if you start the tournament 10 strokes ahead and then fail to hold that lead.

To be sure, the NBA and the NFL give homecourt and homefield advantages in their playoffs to those teams that excelled in the regular season, but that’s it.

Nobody gets points on the scoreboard before a playoff game begins based on what they did during the course of the season.

The FedEx model is a novel idea. And a dumb one.

I mean, it’s like giving the Yankees a 10-run lead in the seventh game of the World Series simply because they won more games than anyone else during the regular season.

Or giving the LeBron Lakers a 10-0 lead in the seventh game of the NBA finals.

The possibilities here are endless.

Let’s say the Davis High School football team goes 9-1 in the regular season and has a first-round game in the postseason playoffs against a team with a 6-4 record. Should the Blue Devils be awarded 10 points on the scoreboard before the game has even begun?

Imagine giving Roger Federer a twosets to none lead at Wimbledon simply because he won the U.S. Open last year and should be rewarded for his efforts.

Talk about the rich getting richer.

In hockey, of course, you’d have to give the higher performing team just one goal to have an insurmountable lead. The same in soccer.

I realize that sports have to change with the times. I mean, when I was growing up they didn’t have overtime in regular-season football games at the high school, collegiate or professional level. A tie was just that — a tie.

And they don’t use peach baskets in basketball anymore.

But a 10-stroke advantage in the biggest golf event of the year?

I’d rather watch the Weather Channel.

Local park helped White Sox hurler stay in shape

BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor Since his 13-strikeout no-hitter on Aug. 25, Chicago White Sox hurler Lucas Giolito has been the media darling of the sports world.

A newcomer to Davis, Giolito has been featured

by Sports Illustrated, the New York Times and all the Windy City newspapers. He’s appeared on ESPN and remains a hot topic on the MLB Network.

Giolito and The Davis Enterprise finally hooked up on Friday, and the right-hander by way of Brentwood in Southern California talked

about his new hometown.

Almost three years ago, Giolito gravitated north when his wife Ariana enrolled in the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.

“The biggest thing (about Davis) is the veterinary program, No. 1 in the country,” Giolito reported. “After that, I like that Davis has a smalltown feel. You can go downtown and you have a nice selection of restaurants and businesses … things to do.

“It’s not such a small town that you’re bored.

And it has that college vibe around it.”

Giolito also tipped his cap to Aggie baseball coach Matt Vaughn and his staff: “I’ve developed relationships with people at UC Davis in that baseball program. They helped me out a lot two offseasons ago. They’re very nice.

From football to pasta fasul Former Devil is an Emmy-winning TV producer

Davis High graduate Francesco Giuseppe Pace went from the football field to the cable Food Network.

Now, an Emmy-award winning producer, he has worked with many celebrities and sports icons, including Sugar Ray Leonard.

BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor He’s Sicilian and Sardinian by parentage. Born in France, he came to Davis a year before high school, not knowing a word of English.

While at Davis High, he played four years of football before going on to compete for Sacramento City College and then Cal State Northridge.

He later played football throughout Europe and spent a season in the XFL. So, naturally, he became an Emmy Award-winning producer of popular Food Network television shows.

Wait. Say what?

Francesco Giuseppe Pace is a 1992 graduate of DHS who has 31 different program production credits to his name, including the wildly popular current show, “Guy’s Grocery Games,” featuring cable cooking king Guy Fieri.

In fact, Pace has earned

three Emmys — for production of last year’s “A Very Brady Renovation” on HGTV and for working with country singer Trisha Yearwood and actress Patricia Heaton on “Trisha’s Southern Kitchen” and “Patricia Heaton Parties,” respectively.

As a cornerstone at Levity Entertainment in Los Angeles, Pace, known as Franck when he was a Blue Devil, fondly recalled his five years

in Davis ...

“I just want to emphasize how much of an impact coaches (Mark) Skrabo and (Dave) Whitmire made in my life. They helped shape me into the man I am today,” Pace said.

“They accepted me for who I was and helped develop me into the football player I became. It was a great chapter in my life.”

At Davis High, Pace was

versatile, playing running back, linebacker and special teams. Throughout the years, that willingness to try — and excel at — new positions served him well in European football, then in television production.

‘Tom Terrific’: one of baseball’s very best O

ff the top of the wall ...

I was too old to have had Tom Seaver as my childhood hero. Instead, he became an adulthood version.

Most of what I know about pitching (besides the fact I couldn’t hit it) has come from watching and listening to Mike Krukow.

But back in 1987, Bob Costas and Tony Kubek called the American League Division Series between Detroit and Minnesota for NBC at the time I worked there in media relations. Seaver provided pregame and postgame analysis.

Seaver had retired the previous year and still knew all the AL hitters.

Only if asked would he detail how he would pitch to a particular batter, how sometimes pitchers would “set up” hitters early in a game, only to throw something different in a similar situation later on. A tutorial on pitching I’ll not forget.

Known as Tom Terrific, Seaver’s 12 seasons with the Mets stand out; years which included

a 1969 World Series title.

Watching him pitch was watching a man in total command of what he was doing.

In 1970, he struck out 10 consecutive hitters, a feat unmatched to this day.

New York joined the baseball world in grieving when Seaver, 75, passed away this week of complications from dementia at his home in Calistoga.

■ Bad haircut optics: Why do politicians, especially now, make rules and restrictions dictating how we are to live our lives, when they routinely disregard those same rules when it’s convenient? Happened again this week. The culprit has been identified.

■ Legendary Georgetown basketball coach John Thompson also died last week.

In 1995, Thompson brought the Hoyas to Sacramento for a two-game tournament at Arco Arena. Aside from practices and games, Thompson spent little time in our region. Seems the coach enjoyed gambling, so he was transported back and forth

to Lake Tahoe whenever time allowed.

■ Some confusion out there as to MLB playoffs. Sixteen teams will advance, including winner and runner-up in each division (12), plus next four as wild cards. First round of playoffs will be best 2 of 3.

■ With the SEC, ACC and Big 12 committed to fall football, President Trump recently spoke with Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren about the Big Ten possibly reversing its spring schedule back to sometime in calendar 2020.

Warren said he would “consider” it. An eight-game fall schedule would make the Big Ten a possibility for the College

Football Playoff.

■ The President did not call the Pac-12 with a similar request.

■ It had to happen: The other night, Elvis (Andrus) of the Rangers hit a game-tying ninthinning homer off (Ryan) Pressly of the Astros. Longtime columnist Mike Downey noted “suspicious minds” believe the pitch Andrus belted was a hanging curve.

■ Minor league baseball, when it returns in 2021, is going to look a lot different. There will be 40 fewer franchises, as each MLB franchise will be restricted to a total of four affiliates. Cities and teams not making the cut will either join independent leagues or disappear altogether.

The River Cats do not figure to be impacted by the upcoming developments.

■ Though Steve Nash was a surprise choice to coach the Brooklyn Nets, the time he spent as a consultant to Steve Kerr and the Warriors will be beneficial in many ways. Nash has always known how to win, back from

his days at Santa Clara when his No. 15 Broncos upset secondseed Arizona in the 1992 NCAA Tournament.

■ The Phillies finally got it right. This week, they retired Dick Allen’s No. 15. Over 15 years, Allen was one of the game’s most feared hitters. A seven-time All-Star, he was Rookie of the Year in 1964 and MVP of the AL with the White Sox (1972). In his career, the right-handed slugger hit 351 home runs, had 1,119 RBIs and hit .292. It’s a tribute long overdue.

■ Hope your weekend has been safe thus far. Monday is Labor Day, so don’t forget the folks in all walks of life who provide so many goods and services.

They are often overlooked, and should never be.

FOOTBALL: Pace’s life was ‘shaped’ in Davis From Page B1

AP PHOTO

Chicago White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito (27) celebrates tossing his 13-strikeout no-hitter with catcher James McCann.

HURLER: Softball field provided backdrop From Page B1 “Growing up in L.A., everything is so fast-paced. It’s cool to be able to go home in the offseason after being in Chicago and just kind of turn it down a little bit — a nice, relaxing time with a smaller-town feel.”

In high school, Giolito pitched for Harvard-Westlake (Studio City). He was so good that not only did UCLA offer a scholarship, but the Washington Nationals said “you’re our guy” and took him 16th overall in the 2012 MLB draft.

Had he pitched as a Bruin, he would have become a teammate of former Blue Devil standout Cody Keefer. Instead, Giolito opted for a $2.92 million bonus to turn pro.

Giolito hit the majors in 2016, spending just one season in Washington before being dealt to Chicago.

But the 6-6, 245-pound flamethrower took some time to get settled.

In 2018, he led the majors in earned runs and walks allowed. Last season, he was 14-9 with a 3.41 ERA and pitched in the All-Star Game.

So why the turnaround?

Giolito told SI/MLB that it was his White Sox skipper Rick Renteria who played a huge role in making him whole on the mound.

Giolito said he was “tired of getting my butt kicked” as his 2018

earned run averaged ballooned at one point to 7.81.

But Renteria talked to his prized pitcher about the difference between overall personal confidence and “situational confidence.”

“Instead of not letting (the tough season) defeat me, I began using it as fuel to have a new-found outlook: ‘Hey, what I’ve been doing isn’t working, so it’s time to try something else,’ ” Giolito told The Enterprise.

“Just having that experience of exiting my comfort zone and trying a bunch of new things, both on the physical and mental sides (was the difference).

“I shortened my arm action.

Changed some things about how my legs were working while pitching, then I really got to work on the mental side.”

All the time, Giolito added, he was involved in “big-time psychological work: neurofeedback training, a lot more digitalization, meditation … you name it.”

After a so-so start this season, Giolito has allowed but seven hits in his last 21 innings, striking out 34 and lowering his ERA from 4.88 to 3.14.

So how did he keep in condition during the pandemic while awaiting word on the season’s status?

He went to the softball fields at Slide Hill Park in East Davis.

“As part of my routine, I’d walk our dog there,” the right-hander reported. “During the quarantine period, I’m trying to avoid human interaction as much as possible, so I’d just bring all my baseball stuff and throw into a chainlink fence at the softball fields.”

He’d start throwing in close, then move farther and farther out until he’s “on the mound.”

“Every so often, kids would stop by and watch and ask questions. It was always a good time.”

Notes: Giolito’s no-hitter, in which the only blemish was a fourthinning walk, was one of the most dominant no-nos in baseball history. In fanning 13 hitters in 101 pitches (with 30 swings and misses), it marked the most K’s in the fewest pitches ever in a no-hitter. It also was the 19th no-hitter in the history of the White Sox (only the Dodgers have more, at 23). ... Giolito’s family is steeped in the performing arts.

His mother Lindsay (“As the World Turns”) and father Rick are actors and uncle Mark created “Twin Peaks” with David Lynch. Lucas said he didn’t go into the family business because he didn’t like performing in front of the crowds that came to see his elementary school plays. But pitching before as many 50,000 fans? Apparently a different story.

STREET: Coach is working on next message From Page B1 to all,” she noted, adding that by mapping out individual letters, her boys and girls had to put some brainwaves on the directions they were going, the letters they were responsible for — and at the same time, get some exercise distance in.

Raizes is a graduate of Dougherty Valley High in San Ramon. She played soccer and lacrosse during her first three years as a prep athlete, but scrapped that. She didn’t care for seven-hour Saturday soccer tournaments “and I was just playing those sports because some of my friends did,” she said.

“My dad said it was OK to quit ... ‘but if you do, you have to do something else,’ ” the coach remembered.

“Because I was in shape as a runner from my other sports, I was encouraged to do cross country. I ended up

falling in love with running.”

Raizes has competed in half and full marathons and has taken up trail running.

After an internship at Ridgeline Engineering in Davis, the coach — who also supervises Husky track and field in the spring — has rolled up her sleeves to delve into what she hopes will be a busy senior year at UCD and Harper.

On her website, Raizes says “haleysmiles” has two interpretations: Haley Smiles and Haley’s Miles.

In addition to her internship, a quick look at her résumé documents her busy, busy schedule ...

She had a stint at the Cognition in Context Labat the Center for Mind and Brain in Davis (focusing on creative problem-solving, resilience and delayed gratification during childhood).

She has been involved with TED

(technology, entertainment and design), providing free online talks about “ideas worth spreading.”

Rock climbing and mountain biking also have recently shown up on Raizes’ radar.

“When I need a break from using my left brain, I enjoy writing, practicing my French, or re-reading my favorite books,” the busy bee added.

Oh, and don’t forget she’s also found time to start work with Harper Athletic Director Darcie Hauger on putting together an online cross country season.

Whether or not that happens, one can be sure that, soon, Raizes’ runners will be providing the community with another meaningful GPS message.

just the right touch in his projects.

He says his time in Davis, however fleeting, “helped shape my life.”

“Everyone there knew me as ‘the French kid.’ I went along with it in high school and college,” he said.

But after more than a decade on the gridiron, Pace zeroed in on production work in Los Angeles, where in 2007 he met his future wife Andrea during “The Contender Series,” a Mark Burnett effort for ESPN featuring Leonard.

“She did not give me the time of day during production,” Pace recalled about working with Andrea, who was the casting supervisor.

“But after we wrapped? The rest is history.”

A trip to Paris helped cement the relationship, and 13 years after exchanging their vows in the City of Light, Francesco and Andrea have grown together in Southern California. Their family now includes five kids ranging in age from 4 to 12.

So how did Pace transition from football to TV work?

“After playing in Barcelona, I was invited to try out for the XFL, and while working out at a gym in Burbank, I met a guy who had played in the CFL and also was invited to the tryouts,” Pace reports. “We began working out together.”

Turns out Pace’s companion was the lead accountant for an NBC series called “City Guys” (then broadcast each Saturday morning on NBC).

“He said he needed a clerk, and since I needed a job, I began working with him,” the former Blue Devil remembered. “That was the start of my career in television. I worked for part of the year and then played football the other half ... hoping to maybe one day make it to the NFL.” But injuries piled up as Pace found it was safer in an office or behind the camera.

About his relationships

with Food Network starts like “The Great Food Truck Race” host Tyler Florence and Santa Rosa cuisine guru Fieri, Pace said: “I’ve worked with Tyler a few times ... and Tyler is great, but we did not spend a lot of time together. He’s always nice and very professional.

“Guy Fieri is one-of-kind.

He is very caring and genuine. I’ve now been working with him more than seven years and I consider him a friend.

“Guy goes out of his way to meet everyone on the crew and is very hands-on.

He cares about everyone on the crew and notices if someone isn’t there or if something is different. He is made for TV, and he is very talented.”

Does that sound like somebody else we’re talking about here?

Pace was asked about what adjustments had to be made to provide fresh television episodes during the current pandemic.

“I can go on for days on this subject,” the producer chimed in. “At Levity Entertainment, we are very successful, and we had a few series filming in March (when) all had to be put on hold.

“Over the last few months, we worked really hard to get back into production, and we were able to come up with creative ways to get back into it. So far, we’ve been able to film quite a few shows under our strict COVID-19 guidelines: lots of testing, making sure that everyone follows all protocols of wearing personal protection equipment and social distancing.

“We’ve also made adjustments by coming up with programming that does not involve sending out crews (but uses) self-filming by sending out packages to talent and using Zoom-like technology to film remotely.”

Ah, there’s that versatility again. And to think it all began with a couple of Davis High football coaches imploring him: “Come on, you can do it, Franck!”

Thanks to those who keep us going

Editing history I is vandalism

BY LLEWELLYN KING Special to The Enterprise

H

istory is fragile. It needs to be handled with care. The trouble is that it is inevitably viewed through the prism of today, which can cast the good as bad and the bad as good.

That is why those who would edit it, sanitize it or obscure it are, for the most part, vandals. It is in constant danger of being rewritten to accommodate current perceptions.

How has this worked? When Oscar Wilde was arrested on April 6, 1895, at the Cadogan Hotel, London, for “gross indecency” (homosexuality), he was widely denounced as a threat to everything of value and a danger to our morals. In New York, where several of his plays were packing in audiences, Wilde’s name was removed from the playbills, while the plays continued to run.

Today, those who would have him arrested would be arrested for hate speech. The prism has changed.

America’s great journalist H.L. Mencken has fallen into some disfavor because of notes in his private diaries that have been construed to be anti-Semitic and racist. But his genius is unassailable.

Yet the National Press Club in Washington changed the name of its library to that of a minor benefactor because the great man in private diaries had entries that were construed to be anti-Semitic. You can find the offending sentences on the web and make your own decision about what he said to his diary in 1943.

A committee of the Council of the District of Columbia advanced a list of historical figures’ connections to slavery and oppression and recommended renaming dozens of public schools, parks and government buildings in the nation’s capital — including those named for George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and five other U.S. Presidents.

No one, it would seem, who drew breath at the time of the founding of the republic is safe from retrospective judgment and condemnation. Not even Benjamin Franklin, who told a Philadelphia matron that he had “given you a republic, if you can keep it.”

No historical figures, it would also seem, are safe from indictments leveled against them. Julius Caesar was a Roman imperialist.

The French and the British should hate him.

Should we therefore destroy statues of Caesar? Then we wouldn’t even know what he looked like.

write this going into the Labor Day weekend realizing that this Labor Day as with all the other holidays of 2020 will be like no other most of us have ever experienced. However, now more than ever, it is important for us to stop and mark the events that delineate and make special the time segments of our lives.

This Labor Day especially, it is important to recognize that labor has had to reinvent how it delivers the essential services we all rely on. Frontline workers are now not only our healthcare workers, fire and police but our grocery cashiers and childcare workers. Additionally, with school back in session our schoolteachers have taken on the load of trying to remotely educate our children, often while ensuring that their own children are navigating instructional platforms successfully.

While I know this is trying for all I am confident that we will rise and support each other as we always have. I would like to especially stop and recognize, during this Labor Day, our city employees:

■ Our firefighters who every year are, increasingly it seems, called to help fight wildfires. This year, 19 of our firefighters have spent countless hours helping combat fires all over the state, all the while still responding to our local emergency needs in Davis.

■ Our police, who have answered the difficult call to reimagine their roles in keeping our city safe. We can all be proud of the way they have responded to this emotionally charged issue. They continue to work with our Police Accountability, Social Services and Human Relations Commissions to arrive at best and realigned practices to do the difficult job they do. This is especially challenging when our community simultaneously desires expediency

and a thorough process.

■ Finally, our city staff who have stepped up and taken furlough days to help the city weather the COVID-19 reduction in revenues but continue to deliver the services we need. I am proud and grateful for their continued quality of service and the care with which they deliver it. Special Kudos to our Parks and Recreation department, which has had to make difficult decisions around delivering services to children and for finding a way to extend swim lessons for the public into the fall.

Water safety for our youth is vital.

T

he city will be offering five one-week sessions of swim lessons beginning Monday, Sept. 14. Swim lesson levels will only include beginner levels so we can focus on teaching those with the greatest safety need. A parent/guardian will be required to be in the water with their child to assist in providing support and guidance during the swim lesson.

Class times are: 5:15 to 5:45 p.m. and 5:55 to 6:25

p.m. Swim lesson fees are $43 (Monday-Thursday, 30 minutes each day) per lesson session. Pre-registration only.

No onsite registration will be accepted.

Finally, while it is important to stop and try to normalize our lives as much as possible, especially during holidays it is of extreme importance that we continue to do so safely. COVID-19 illnesses and deaths continue to rise, notably after major holidays.

We can share our socially isolated barbecues, outdoor trips and pool time via photos on social media or sent electronically to our family and friends. We can make banners or tie a white ribbon around our trees to thank our essential workers. We can highlight and thank a standout worker on social media.

There are many ways to continue to make our holidays special and safe. Be well and remember to wear a mask.

As always, I welcome your communications. I can be reached at gpartida@cityof davis.org.

H

istory is dominated by great figures and they are a mixed lot. The new politically correct assessment of history extends into appending judgment of sex lives. Watch out John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and even Catherine the Great.

Sixty years ago, those who could’ve been censored and removed from public life would’ve included gays down through the centuries, from Alexander the Great to former Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar, who is also Muslim.

There is a lot of heavy lifting to be done if you’re going to measure the past against the values of the present.

This brings me to the difficult and contentious issue of the Confederacy and all those statues. Here, there is reason to respect the sensibilities of the African American community and at least remove statues to museums.

The Confederate flag has become an in-yourface statement of white racism and shouldn’t be part of the celebration of Southern culture.

These symbols aren’t yet confined to history’s grave but are part of a struggle that isn’t settled.

Oxford University has decided to remove a statue of Cecil John Rhodes, and there is a move to change the name of Rhodes Scholarships to something else. Mind you, not to give up the money that he gave for the scholarship, together with gifts to the university.

For me, names and statues record history.

They aren’t celebrations of wrongdoing. I would’ve liked to have seen a statue of Stalin, the greatest monster of the 20th century, as he appeared to the Russian people. I think it is good when a small child asks in front of a statue, “Mom, who is that?”

History isn’t to be rewritten, but to be learned, otherwise we won’t know how we got here and what to avoid, as George Santayana pointed out.

LETTERS Vote for Cecilia I have known Cecilia EscamillaGreenwald for a long time and know that she will be there for parents, students and teachers, working together with them during these challenging times.

The pandemic, our struggling economy and our current highly charged partisan political environment makes it difficult for all of us.

Cecilia is a leader, helper and listener who speaks up for those without a voice.

During these challenging times we need a school board member with all of these attributes, and someone who persists, who inspires and who works well with others.

That someone is Cecilia EscamillaGreenwald. We need her on our local school board! Please vote. Thank you.

Judith Plank Davis

A dedicated leader Please allow me to tell you why you should support Jim Provenza for reelection to the Board of Supervisors. To the community as whole, and to adults, children, families and seniors we see his committed service.

In our county there is his commitment to support our agricultural producers and the consumer. Almost 1 in 5 people, children and adults, live in what is called food insecurity and are low income. Our community has benefited from his hard work.

People needing a Board member committed to access to county public services and wanting decency in public service need to look no further than Jim Provenza. I encourage you to vote for him to continue his leadership on the Board of Supervisors.

Other letters have spoken to his commitment to our community and his experience working for it, so I won’t detail the long list of ways Dillan has organized, volunteered and contributed to improving people’s lives here, but suffice it to say he has a remarkable amount of knowledge and experience to bring to the job.

If you are in District 2, I strongly urge you to vote for Dillan on Nov. 3, and no matter where you are, to support his campaign through donations or volunteer time. Talk to your friends. Email your neighbors. Let’s make history together!

Horton for City Council

In 2016 I paid attention to the modeling being done by election forecasters. I thought Nate Silver was doing the best, while others were making surprisingly naive choices — like neglecting correlations in fluctuations from one state to the next. His forecasts were giving Trump 25% to 35% odds of winning against Clinton, and it made me quite anxious.

Where are his forecasts now? His fivethirtyeight.com has Trump’s chances of winning now at 31% — similar to the chance that one roll of a six-sided die comes out as a 1 or a 2. This is a challenging thing to forecast with unusual circumstances in the country. All the same, this result from a rigorous attempt to calculate the probabilities should give

History isn’t just made at the national level — it’s also made at the local level.

Dillan Horton’s candidacy for Davis City Council is historic. If elected, he would be the first Black man on our city council.

He would also be the first renter in more than a decade to have a voice on the council.

These are perspectives that are needed in our city government and that is more clear now than ever as people are waking up to the systemic barriers that people of color face. We need people that can bring their lived experience to governing, and to represent everyone, those folks have to be diverse. Davis is saying that it supports Black lives in lawn signs and solidarity demonstrations, and I look forward to it

Op-Ed

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

Sierra Club says no to Measure B

BY ALAN PRYOR Special to The Enterprise

C

iting “excessive traffic, greenhouse gas emissions, and poor landuse and planning,” the Sierra Club announces its opposition to Measure B in Davis on the November 2020 municipal ballot.

Measure B is a vote to allow the annexation of approximately 200-acres of prime farmland on the northeast periphery of the city and the development of a business park along with an 850-unit housing development. The project site is now farmed and serves as foraging habitat for numerous special-status species, including burrowing owls, Swainson’s hawks and white-tailed kites.

The opposition to this ballot measure follows an extensive evaluation process by the local Sierra Club Yolano Group, the Sierra Club Mother Lode Chapter Political and Executive Committees, and the Sierra Club California Local Measure Review Committee.

The Sierra Club has longstanding official policies designed to minimize urban sprawl onto farmland and habitat and maximize intensive infill development. These include planning policies that further conservation of open space and preservation of natural areas and agricultural lands.

The Sierra Club opposes sprawl as a pattern of increasingly inefficient and wasteful land use with devastating environmental and social outcomes.

While the Sierra Club is strongly supportive of efforts to stimulate economic

COMMENTARY development and provide housing, particularly for working families, we do not support the DISC development which will turn almost 200-acres of productive farmland into a massive, sprawling, auto-dependent business park. Although some on-site housing units will be constructed, there is no mechanism to ensure that the housing will be occupied by workers at the development project itself.

This development is inconsistent with official Sierra Club land use policies encouraging infill development. Instead, the project is reminiscent of peripheral, sprawling, carcentric developments of earlier times that encourage long-range commuting. It is the antithesis of smart urban planning.

O

f particular concern is the 24,000-plus daily auto trips projected to result from the development adding further congestion to an already bottlenecked city thoroughfare, Mace Boulevard, and the I-80 freeway. In addition to the wait times and traffic disruption, this excessive traffic is the primary contributor to the over 83 million pounds of additional greenhouse gases projected to be produced by the project. This DISC project alone would increase the greenhouse gas footprint of Davis by over 8% jeopardizing the city’s mandate of carbon neutrality by 2040.

This project further suffers from the lack of an integrated transportation infrastructure plan. The

project proponents only claim that a Transportation Demand Management Plan will be created in the future once zoning entitlements are approved by the voters.

But the promoters do not guarantee any reductions in actual traffic counts or reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. This is not acceptable from an environmental perspective.

T

he project is also an example of the city allowing sprawl onto peripheral farmlands through exceptions to the General Plan rather than focusing on updating this important planning document. Properly planned, instead of depending on commuter traffic for viability, a project at the site could offer an important opportunity for meeting development needs in Davis in a manner that reflects Davis values — vibrant integrated and connected neighborhoods in a mixed use setting, affordable cohousing, community gardens and edible vegetation, appropriate commercial and live-work buildings, all bordered by protected farmland and open space.

Working towards these goals necessitates a General Plan update or an AreaSpecific Plan. Piecemeal speculative development, focusing on one project at a time, will preclude this important planning opportunity to consider community needs and values.

Keeping you and your loved ones safe COMMENTARY

BY JOHN GARAMENDI Enterprise staff writer

A

s COVID-19 has rifled through our communities this year, we have put on our masks and practiced physical distancing to stay safe. Now, our region is dealing with additional challenges as wildfires burn throughout California and local, state and national leaders work to safely reopen our schools. As your voice in Congress, I want to share some strategies on how to keep you and your family safe during these turbulent times.

Multiple wildfires have raged through our region this year, which have torched homes and forced mandatory evacuations. As California battles another dangerous wildfire season, I’ve compiled a list of links and tools that you can use to prepare and stay informed on the emergency situations in Yolo County: ■ To receive public safety and evacuation updates for your community, text your zip code to 888777, or visit https://www.fire.ca.gov/incidents/ for more information ■ For maps of evacuation zones, visit Yolo County’s website at Yolo County.org ■ For information on where and how to evacuate and how to prepare your evacuation route, visit Know Your Zone at evacuate.yolocounty.org ■ For emergency alerts, visit Yolo Alert at yolo-alert.org ■ Learn what you should pack in an emergency supply kit at ready.gov/ evacuation and make sure you take photos and videos of your property for insurance purposes.

Evacuation orders look different this year as they incorporate the need for physical distancing, mask wearing and other COVID-19 precautions into their strategy — so make sure you plan accordingly. Prior planning prevents poor performance, and taking these necessary steps will ensure you and your loved ones are prepared at a moment’s notice.

Preparing for a challenging wildfire season during the COVID-19 Pandemic isn’t the only challenge we’re facing. It’s also back-to-school season.

Sadly, most classrooms in America have resorted to virtual learning due to the Trump Administration’s failure to address the COVID-19 Pandemic. We all want our schools to reopen, but it has to be done safely. That’s why on May 15 I voted to pass the Heroes Act in the House of Representatives.

This bill provides $100 billion to safely educate our children virtually and establish a science-based approach to safely reopen our schools. Unfortunately, the bill has sat in Mitch McConnell’s legislative graveyard in the Senate since it passed the House. We cannot tolerate this. I will continue to fight alongside my House Democratic colleagues to make the Heroes Act law of the land to get America back to school safely.

As Americans answer the call and rise to meet any threat they face, we need leadership that will do the same.

As your Representative in Congress, I will fight to protect our community from any new challenge it faces throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic and beyond.

———— 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/rep garamendi, 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 530-753-5301; or at my Washington, D.C., office, 2368 Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, D.C., 20515, or 202-225-1880.

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

LETTERS From Page B4 those who are confident in a Biden/Harris victory in November some food for thought. Why are you better at this than Nate Silver who has thought about this way more than you have?

For me it means donating, calling voters, and recruiting others to do the same. I called voters for the first time the past two weekends, despite my own internal resistance to doing so. Research shows it is effective. It went fine. I was glad I did it. I was glad to be gathered, via Zoom, with a bunch of folks doing the same. That helped a lot.

There's all kinds of ways to engage. Last week I gathered a small group of friends via Zoom for "Donations and Libations" — we discussed different candidates and get-out-the-vote groups to whom we could donate, and then made our individual decisions and donations.

Join the fight in some way!

You’ll be glad you did. You might regret it if you don’t.

Frerichs for council Lucas Frerichs is irreplaceable on our city council, and we are fortunate he is willing to devote four more years to continue guiding our city. We need his thoughtful, thorough approach to each topic, his extensive prior knowledge, and his sympathetic, diplomatic manner with citizens.

Lucas has a strong track record, so we know exactly who we’re voting for. His trustworthiness and dedication are proven. Davis is his

home, and clearly he wants it to thrive.

I appreciate his solid bank of previous experience. He has served for eight years, and he’s solved lots of problems. For example, instead of hiring more police, he and other council members have hired homeless outreach coordinators and funded mental health crisis intervention services with the county.

He has served as our representative to SACOG (Sacramento Area Council of Governments) and is their current Chairperson! He also co-founded Valley Clean Energy and serves on the board, enthusiastically helping to guide our clean energy provider. That’s just a few accomplishments! We need Lucas’ expertise.

Back in 2014 when I connected with folks in Benicia trying to stop Valero from bringing 100-car trains of flammable oil through Northern California, it was Lucas who listened and immediately moved into action. He helped convince our city manager of the seriousness of the proposal to our safety, and eventually took the issue to SACOG where all six counties and 22 cities voted unanimously to oppose the plan! That vote was the tipping point for the Benicia City Council who voted against Valero’s plan.

That brings me to the main reason I am grateful that Lucas is willing to run again. We are facing an unprecedented challenge to get through the next years. We are in a

severe financial crisis never encountered before due to COVID19 and the subsequent collapse of the economy. No one knows how cities can best survive the loss of revenue, but Lucas is wise, resourceful and compassionate. We need his experienced judgment to guide us through these tough years ahead.

funding, and an uncertain future.

In order to achieve the board’s goals of “developing 21st-century teaching and learning environments, close the achievement gap, build skills to promote social and emotional health, offer excellent programs for all students and achieve fiscal sustainability,” we need a representative that can creatively and respectfully meet this challenge. Betsy is well prepared in intention, determination and commitment to collaboration to work towards these goals.

As a professional in the fields of law and engineering, Betsy brings a well-honed skill set of strategic thinking, analytical problem solving, collaborative teamwork, broad perspective, and comprehensive discernment in decision-making.

She will bring these skills to question and think in innovative ways on the many facets of distance learning, especially on the foundations of equity. Betsy brings her personal experience of discovering her children’s unique needs and figuring out how to best support them through researching resources and connecting with services.

She understands what it means to raise diverse children and have individuality within the diversity.

Her personal journey is the framework of a commitment to bringing educators and families together to best serve students. Regardless of need, Betsy wants every student to have an opportunity to thrive and succeed. She recognizes that we have lot of work to do to build upon what has already been started.

Betsy Hyder’s compassion, commitment and competency is why she should be our DJUSD Board of Education Trustee, Area 5.
