Davis sewage shows COVID as widespread as in January

Art on campus Exhibit makes West Coast debut at UCD

Enterprise staff writer

Enterprise staff writer Yolo County’s official COVID-19 case rate declined from 44.7 cases per 100,000 residents on Friday to 40.8 on Tuesday, but high levels of virus found in Davis wastewater indicate the actual case rate could be over 200, according to the county’s health officer.

In an update to the Yolo County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, Dr. Aimee Sisson said virus levels in Davis wastewater are higher than they were at the height of the original Omicron wave in January, when the countywide case rate was 254 cases per 100,000 residents.

“This suggests that the current case rate could actually be in the 200s,” Sisson said.

But the official rate only counts cases found through PCR testing, not through increasingly used home antigen tests, and thus “significantly underestimates the actual burden of COVID-19 infection in Yolo County,” she said.

The high case rate is being driven

by Omicron subvariants that are more infectious than the original

Some of the biggest names in contemporary art are set to show their work next month at UC Davis’ Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art. “Young, Gifted and Black,” a travelling exhibition highlighting artists of African descent, will open at the Manetti Shrem Museum July 28 and be on view through Dec. 19.

The exhibition features 50 artists, including icons like David Hammons, Kerry James Marshall, Mickalene Thomas, Henry Taylor and Kara Walker, and a younger generation of artists that includes Tunji Adeniyi-Jones, Sadie Barnette, Cy Gavin, Arcmanoro Niles and Jennifer Packer. “ ‘Young, Gifted and Black’ gathers and elevates an emerging generation of contemporary artists who

Planners OK South Davis car wash

By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer The Davis Planning Commission last week approved a new car wash at the Valero station on Chiles Road in South Davis but delayed action on a second proposed car wash just down the road, seeking additional information on what trees will be removed at the site.

The commission’s actions come three months after an express car wash was approved at the nearby intersection of Mace and Cowell boulevards and follow a new city ban on residents washing cars in their driveways.

The project approved Wednesday on a split vote

will allow for demolition of existing structures at 4748 and 4810 Chiles Road, including the Subway restaurant, and allowing for a fueling station, drivethrough car wash, convenience store and larger Subway.

Planning commissioners expressed some hesitation at adding another car wash in the area, but voted 4-3 to approve the project, with Commissioners David Robertson, Darryl Rutherford and Georgina Valencia opposing the plan.

Rutherford said given the ongoing drought, it’s “not prudent to approve another project with a car wash.”

“I’m fine with the project,” he added, “I just don’t

But Commissioner Steve Streeter and Commission Chair Greg Rowe both noted that more commercial car washes may be needed given restrictions on washing cars anywhere else in town.

Rowe said he agreed with the concerns about water usage related to car washes, but also noted that when he walks around his neighborhood, “I see people washing their cars with the excess water and soap running down the driveway, into the gutter and down into the storm drain, sometimes leaving the hose running the whole time, so

Let’s make a deal: What to know about budget

By Alexei Koseff CalMatters California lawmakers are set to adopt a $300 billion budget this week that will provide refunds to most taxpayers in the state, pour resources into expanding abortion access and extend health care to more undocumented immigrants.

The state spending plan, which has grown to a record size as the economy recovered faster than anticipated from the coronavirus pandemic, is expected to be adopted before the start of the fiscal year on Friday, after Gov. Gavin Newsom and

legislative leaders announced a deal on Sunday night.

Negotiations dragged on for several weeks as Newsom bargained with the Democratic leaders of the state Senate and Assembly over whether to tie the tax relief to car ownership; funding increases for universities, housing and social safety net programs; the details of a major climate package; and a plan that would give state regulators more control in approving clean energy projects.

Briefly Recycling bill clears hurdle SACRAMENTO — Legislation has advanced from California Senate President pro Tem Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, and state Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, to add wine and distilled spirits bottles to California’s recycling program.

“California can increase the recycling rates of millions of bottles that would otherwise wind up in our landfills or be illegally discarded,” said Sen. Dodd. “This is a common sense bill that benefits our environment and consumers.”

The California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act, established in 1986, encourages consumers to recycle beverage containers by requiring them to pay a deposit for eligible bottles.

According to a 2019 report, curbside programs received approximately $172 million from the so-called Bottle Bill in 2017, including $15 million that is annually provided from the Beverage Container Recycling Fund.

Although the program includes beer, it does not include wine or spirits. It is estimated that California generates more than 500 million wine and spirits bottles each year, with less than 30% being recycled and over 300 million wine and spirits bottles going into landfills.

About us

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, 2022

It all makes sense when you count it out

I

f you have a minute, let's talk about the financial windfall that's about to come my way.

As you know, every now and then we're likely to come across a product promising a "lifetime guarantee," but with absolutely no explanation if they're talking about the lifetime of the product or the lifetime of the person purchasing the product.

Publishers Clearing House has a similar promotion going with a slightly different twist. In fact, I just received a mailing that says I've "been identified to receive a Prize Number that is fully eligible for WINNER SELECTION during our final days of this Prize of a Lifetime event."

I'm pretty sure I'll win this thing, mostly because my "Prize Number" is capitalized, not to mention the fact I am "fully eligible" as opposed to those poor

souls who are only partially eligible.

The prize is a whopping $7,500 a week for life, which is not chump change on my side of the tracks.

Interestingly, though, Publishers Clearing House has apparently already predetermined my lifespan, noting right after the promise of $7,500 a week for life "(that's $15,000,000.00)" In other words, when that $7,500 a week reaches $15 million, they expect me to drop dead

in my tracks and not collect a penny more.

Who knows, maybe I have to agree to die when the jackpot hits $15 million.

So, I pulled out the old abacus to determine exactly my date of death and learned that $7,500 a week, which will be awarded June 30, will reach $15 million in precisely 38.4615384615 years.

O

f course, that's using the bad math that assumes there are exactly 52 weeks in a calendar year, which ends up being one day short given that 52 weeks equals 364 days and a normal year has 365 days.

So, I actually will have an extra 38.461 years to live. Additionally, there will be 10 leap years in the next 38 years, so we're now pretty close to exactly 38.5 years before the Grim Reaper comes knocking

at my East Davis door. Presuming I'm home at the time.

June is the sixth month of the year, so June 30 — Prize Day — is exactly halfway through the year 2022. Thus, if you do the math, my due date — I mean death date — is New Year's Eve of the year 2060. Whether I will be allowed to sing all five verses of “Auld Lang Syne” is yet to be determined.

If I truly live that long and become the oldest man walking the Earth, I promise to leave my final $7,500 weekly prize to Tree Davis to replace the aging citymandated front yard hackberry that will no doubt have already met the Grim Chipper before I'm gone.

It's the least I can do for the city I love.

UCD study focuses on global supply-chain disruptions

By Karen Nikos-Rose Special to The Enterprise Global supply issues related to the pandemic and war in Ukraine have highlighted yet another global vulnerability — food availability.

While international trade allows countries to buffer against domestic food shortfalls and gain access to larger markets, what happens when supplies run short, or the global supply chain slows or even breaks down like it did during the pandemic?

A UC Davis study sheds light on how trade, and centrality in the global wheat trade network, affect food security. The study shows that many countries depend on trade to fulfill their food needs. Further, the global wheat trade is concentrated in a handful of countries whereby disruption in only a few countries would have global impacts, researchers suggest.

The study, “Connected and Extracted: Understanding how centrality in the global wheat supply chain affects global hunger using a network approach,” was published in June in the journal PLOS ONE. The study’s authors include Subhashni Raj, assistant professor, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of HawaiiManoa, who was a UC Davis postdoctoral scholar when the study was written; Catherine Brinkley, associate professor, Department of Human Ecology, UC Davis; and John Ulimwengu, senior research fellow, International Food Policy Research Institute.

The current shortage of baby formula and concern over global grain supplies are now at the forefront of global trade concerns.

“Food grains — wheat, maize and rice — account for over 50% of human caloric consumption and underpin global food

security. With conflict between Russia and the breadbasket of Ukraine, global fear about food shortages is sounding alarms,” said Brinkley, coauthor of the study.

“War in Ukraine, for example, combined with supply chain issues, have contributed to price increases in cereal grains and food prices globally, but especially in the Global South where countries rely on cereal imports,” Raj added. This area encompasses Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Pacific Islands, and the developing countries in Asia, including the Middle East.

Researchers found that having more agricultural land does not necessarily translate to higher levels of national nourishment.

“One might expect that having lots of farmland would help buffer against hunger,” Brinkley said. “Yet, agriculturally rich areas of the world are often literal

battlegrounds for control over resources.”

The food resources are often plugged into the vast globalized food chain with little to no positive impact on communities where the chain started, researchers said, undercutting the food security of their own people to leverage the country’s advantage in the international food economy.

Countries in the Global North with low production capacities control a significant share of that supply chain given their purchasing power and location adjacent to important wheat trade hubs. “Historical patterns of wealth accumulation through colonization and the slave trade are also visible when you look at the global wheat trade. Many European countries with limited agricultural lands find themselves highly central to the global wheat supply chain, reflecting trade agreements and trade patterns that

emanated from their colonial past,” Raj said.

Researchers used international wheat trade data to reconstruct the global trade network and identify the most influential countries. They found that countries most central to the global grain trade account for more than half of all wheat exports globally by volume: Germany, Italy, France, Turkey, Russia, the United States and Canada.

This makes the global wheat value chain vulnerable, as a shock to one of these countries is likely to propagate across the globe.

“That is the curse of operating within a food system where components, big or small, are all connected,” Brinkley said.

To correct the unbalanced structure of the trade network, researchers called in their study for more emphasis on regional and localized food systems.

UCD Health equity program gets $1.7M in federal funds

By Caleb Hampton Enterprise staff writer On Monday, Rep. Doris Matsui, D-Sacramento, held a press conference where she announced $1.7 million in federal funding for UC Davis Health’s Digital Health Equity Program.

UC Davis Health CEO Davis Lubarsky and Director of the UC Davis Center for Reducing Health Disparities Sergio AguilarGaxiola joined Matsui at the press conference.

“The federal funding, which Congresswoman Matsui championed as part of H.R. 2471, the government funding omnibus package, will support the creation of a regional digital public health platform to improve access to and continuity of care for vulnerable populations in the Sacramento area, northern California region and beyond,” UC Davis Health said Monday in a press release.

The Digital Health Equity program will aim to address health disparities and improve outcomes for underrepresented minority and low-income populations. It will partner with federally qualified health centers and community organizations.

“We know that to truly achieve health equity, we really need to ensure that everyone can access the highest quality health care that enables and empowers individuals to optimize their wellbeing,” Matsui said at the press conference. “Harnessing the power of technology is crucial to making that happen.”

Firefighters take on a large brush fire southeast of Davis.

Firefighters battle rural brush fire

By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer Multiple fire crews from Yolo and Solano counties responded to the scene of a large vegetation fire burning southeast of the Davis city limits Tuesday.

The blaze started shortly before 12:30 p.m. in the area of County Road 106 and 36, near the Yolo/ Solano County line, according to a Davis Fire

Department spokesperson Jenny Tan. As of about 6 p.m. it had burned an estimated 500 acres, most of it state Fish and Wildlife lands, Tan said. No structures were damaged or injuries reported, and the cause remains under investigation.

Tan said Davis fire crews received aid from neighboring agencies including the UC Davis,

Woodland, Winters, West Sacramento, Esparto, Madison, Dixon and Montezuma fire departments.

"They're a little challenged because of the winds right now," as well as terrain with no road access, Tan said.

By shortly after 8 p.m., crews had contained the fire and were finishing mop-up duties to prevent potential flare-ups.

Air quality management district announces death of executive director

By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer The executive director and air pollution control officer for the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District has died.

Mat Ehrhardt passed away on Sunday, the district announced in a press release on Tuesday.

“We are deeply shocked and saddened by this sudden and tragic loss,” said Paul Hensleigh, deputy air pollution control officer. “It was a great privilege to know him personally and work alongside Mat for more than 28 years.”

Yolo County Supervisor Don Saylor, a longtime AQMD board member, said Ehrhardt “was universally respected by staff, the board and colleagues in air quality management throughout the state and nation.

“On top of that,” Saylor said, “he was a warm human being and friend to all. His loss will be deeply felt. My condolences and best wishes to his family at this very stunning time.”

Ehrhardt joined the district in 1997 as an associate air quality engineer and was later promoted to supervising air quality engineer in 2000 and deputy air pollution control officer in 2002. He was named executive director in 2005. He held a degree in mechanical engineering from Sacramento State University.

Ehrhardt also served as president of the California Air Pollution Control Officer’s Association from 2009 to 2010.

"Mat served the board of directors with unwavering dedication, protecting and improving air quality for communities within the district,” said board chair and Rio Vista Mayor Ronald Kott. “His knowledge and leadership will be sorely missed.

I extend my sympathies to his family during this time."

The district extended its condolences to Ehrhardt’s wife, daughter and family and asked residents “to keep them in your thoughts at this difficult time.”

Public pianos will be returning to Davis

By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer The pianos are coming back.

The city announced last week the return of public pianos in six locations throughout the community. The pianos are available for recreational playing by any community members.

New this year is a piano at Central Park decorated by students in teacher Amy George’s sixth-grade class at Birch Lane Elementary School. The piano was inspired by the class’s indepth study of Yosemite National Park.

Other pianos are located at Davis Commons, the Davis Food Co-op, the Hunt-Boyer Plaza, the Manetti Shrem Art Museum (coming soon) and the Stephens Branch Library.

“The city recognizes the social and emotional health benefits of making and listening to live music,” said Mayor Gloria Partida. “The

By Caleb Hampton Enterprise staff writer The COVID-19 test positivity rate at UC Davis continued to climb last week, nearing an all-time high, as the campus’ biweekly testing requirement expired on June 24.

On June 25, the most recent day for which data has been reported, the seven-day positivity rate hit 3.7%, the highest at any point in the pandemic apart from a 4.6% rate at the peak of the Omicron wave in January, according to data published on UC Davis’ COVID-19 dashboard. The rate has steadily risen since March.

From June 16 to 23, the most recent period for which the campus has reported complete data, UC Davis conducted 3,873 COVID-19 tests on asymptomatic students, staff and faculty, with 93 of those tests coming back positive.

While the positivity rate remained high, the number of tests conducted declined by more than half over the past two weeks, and the number of students in UC Davis’ on-campus isolation and quarantine housing plummeted, as many students left campus for the summer.

UC Davis students, staff and faculty are required to be vaccinated against COVID-19. As of this week, 99% of students and 96% of employees were vaccinated, with

the remaining students and employees having obtained an approved exception.

On March 19, UC Davis lifted its mask mandate.

The campus continues to “strongly recommend” that students, staff and faculty wear masks in indoor settings.

While no longer required, free asymptomatic testing will still be available for members of the UC Davis community through the 2022 calendar year.

“In conjunction with this change, we will move our testing kiosk from the Activities and Recreation Center (last day Thursday, June 30, closing early that day, at 4 p.m.) to the Human Resources Administration Building just a short walk across La Rue Road from the ARC,” UC Davis Chancellor Gary S. May said in a recent message to the campus community.

The relocated testing kiosk will open July 5.

Hours for the new site will be 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday. Appointments will be required. Normal parking rates will apply and the free parking stalls designated for COVID-19 testing at the ARC will revert to regular C-zone parking.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, 2022

WIDESPREAD: Choice of shots for kids WASH: Professionals From Page A1 strain and, in the case of BA.4 and BA.5, able to evade immune defenses.

“Currently the highly infectious BA.2 (subvariant) is responsible for the majority of cases in Yolo County,” Sisson said, “but it is quickly being overtaken by the BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants that are able to cause reinfection in persons already infected with COVID, including recently with Omicron, as well as being able to cause infections in vaccinated persons.”

In fact, Sisson said, “the risk of reinfection now is higher than it’s ever been.”

According to the UC Davis Genome Center, which checks all positive PCR samples collected in Yolo County for variants, BA.4 and BA.5 accounted for 37.4 percent of cases during the week of June 12-18, up from 21.5 percent the week prior and 15 percent the week before that.

Those subvariants will likely become dominant in Yolo County very soon, Sisson said, and “as a result, case rates are expected to remain elevated for the foreseeable future.”

Given that prognosis, Sisson continued to urge everyone to take precautions.

“COVID levels are high in Yolo County right now, but protective measures can prevent against infection

and severe disease,” she said. “Indoor masking when around others is strongly recommended, particularly with the highquality masks like an N95, KN95 or KF94.

“Keeping that mask on at all times indoors provides the best protection and, for that reason, persons are encouraged to eat and drink outdoors,” she added.

Sisson also urged everyone to stay up-to-date on their vaccines and boosters.

According to the state Department of Public Health, COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations and deaths are highest among unvaccinated individuals and lowest among those who have received booster shots.

Speaking of vaccines, news last week that COVID-19 vaccines had been authorized for children ages 6 months to 5 years was a cause of celebration for many parents, Sisson noted.

The Food and Drug Administration authorized use of both a Pfizer and Moderna pediatric vaccine for children under five and both are safe and effective, Sisson said.

So which should parents choose?

The recommendation is to get whichever one they can access first, said Sisson, but parents with access to both can consider other factors.

The timeline for establishing immune protection after vaccination is quicker with Moderna, which requires just two doses, versus Pfizer, which requires three and takes twice as long to reach full protection.

On the other hand, parents concerned about side effects “may want to opt for the Pfizer vaccine because its lower dose is associated with fewer mild side effects like fever or irritability,” Sisson said.

The county will be offering both vaccines at upcoming clinics.

Sisson also provided an update on COVID-19 testing options, given the end of Healthy Davis Together PCR testing later this week.

Healthy Davis Together — and its offshoot, Healthy Yolo Together — were “instrumental in controlling COVID spread in Yolo County,” Sisson noted.

“But widespread PCR testing is no longer the only way to slow viral spread.

Antigen tests are now widely available for free and provide accurate results in 15 minutes from the comfort and convenience of your own home,” she said. “It is these home antigen tests that will serve as the backbone of COVID testing in Yolo County post-HYT.” Currently free tests can be ordered via the postal

service and insurance companies are required to pay for up to eight antigen tests per member per month, Sisson noted.

But more options are coming.

“Yolo County libraries are now serving as distribution points for home antigen tests and the county will very soon be launching a vending machine project that will make antigen tests available at outdoor locations 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for free,” Sisson said.

Meanwhile, the statesponsored OptumServe test-to-treat site in Woodland will continue operations, providing people the opportunity to test, and if they test positive and medically qualify, get a prescription for Paxlovid or other anti-viral medications.

Sisson cautioned that while antigen tests are accurate and a reasonable substitute for PCR tests, “antigen tests may not be able to detect infection until one to three days after symptoms start.

“For this reason, if someone who has COVID symptoms tests negative initially, they should continue to stay home and test again in one to two days.”

On Tuesday, there were nine COVID-positive patients in Yolo County’s two hospitals, one of them in intensive care.

He also cited reports that a driveway car wash “can take more than 100 gallons of water, whereas modern car washes equipped with recirculating water systems use less than half that amount.”

“It would seem … if you’re looking at water conservation, it’s a lot better to drive to some type of car wash where there’s more modern equipment and the water gets reclaimed,” Rowe said.

The Valero station and Subway restaurant sit just east of the new 7-Eleven gas station and convenience store and north of the recently approved Davis Express Car Wash.

To the west, across Mace, is a Chevron station with a car wash and across Chiles from that Chevron is the site of another proposed car wash.

EXHIBIT: Introduces ‘some of the most significant artists working today’ to UCD From Page A1 are engaging with the work of their predecessors while finding different ways to address the history and meaning of blackness in their work,” UC Davis’ arts blog said of the exhibition.

The exhibition features artwork from the renowned private collection of Bernard I. Lumpkin

and Carmine D. Boccuzzi. It is curated by Antwaun Sargent and Matt Wycoff and organized for the Manetti Shrem Museum by associate curator Susie Kantor.

“Young, Gifted and Black” centers around four themes — dramatic use of color, reclamation of the color black, materiality (nontraditional materials), and an expanded idea of portraiture.

“The Manetti Shrem Museum is excited to host this thoughtprovoking exhibition,” said Founding Director Rachel Teagle. “Not only does it introduce some of the most significant artists working today to UC Davis and the region, but it’s also in keeping with our track record of presenting emerging artists.”

Just five of the artists featured

in the exhibition are based on the West Coast. One of them is Sadie Barnette, whose exhibition “Dear 1968,…” was at the Manetti Shrem Museum in 2017.

“I’m thrilled to be partnering with the Manetti Shrem Museum team in bringing ‘Young, Gifted and Black’ to the West Coast,” said Lumpkin. “At a time when America is wrestling anew

with race and racism, and debates about equality and inclusion in the art world have taken on greater urgency, this exhibition assesses how artists today are shaping the way we think about identity, art and history.”

Robert R. Brooks, born August 1931 went to heaven on March 11, 2022.

Robert Ryan Brooks — beloved husband, father, grandfather, greatgrandfather and friend to many — passed peacefully surrounded by family while listening to Willie Nelson’s “Stardust” album when his heart finally stopped beating.

Robert was born in Chino to Otis and Elva Brooks, and grew up in Chino where athletics was a major focus of his life. He graduated from Chino High School where he lettered in football, basket ball, track and tennis. His teams were “Small School” Southern California Champions.

After high school he attended Mount San Antonio College, where his football team was the first team state football champions.

In 1949 Robert was

voted Player Of The Year.

His coach Archie Nesbit recommended him to UC Berkeley, where he played football in 1951 and 1952 and was a proud “Pappy’s Boy.” At the same time he became an outstanding rugby player and had an opportunity to play professionally in England (unfortunately the Draft Board said no!). After graduating from Cal, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and was stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, where he played football for the Navy between his tours of duty on the USS Green Fish and USS Caiman submarines.

After his service, Robert returned to UC Berkeley where he BROOKS earned a master’s degree in education. During this time Robert met the love of his life and married Marilyn Van Heuit. In 1957, he began his coaching and teaching career at Miramonte High school in Orinda, where he was the head football and wrestling coach, and assistant track coach. In between his coaching and teaching Bob played club rugby on a CAL team that won the National Club Championship.

His football team became Island Champions and he was selected to play in the Hula Bowl against the College All-stars from the mainland. He was the leading ground gainer in the game as running back with quarterback Otto Graham handing him

In 1962 Robert was hired by UC Davis as an assistant coach in football and track. From 1964 to 1966 he was an assistant coach in football and wrestling. When wrestling and football overlapped, he chose wrestling and coached the UCD wrestling

Gerry Orendor

Sept. 9, 1943 — June 23, 2022 Gerry Wayne Orendor, 78, of Gold River, died on Thursday, June 23, 2022. Gerry died at home with his wife of 59 years, Nickie Orendor, and daughter, Kimberly Orendor, after a long battle with the parkinsonism, progressive supranuclear palsy.

Gerry was born Sept. 9, 1943, in Lexington, Mo. He attended schools in Lexington, until joining the U.S. Navy in 1960 at the age of 17. Gerry served two years aboard the USS Princeton.

While aboard the Princeton in 1962, he participated in deployment of helicopters and Marines to Vietnam, and the nuclear tests of Operation Dominic in the Pacific Ocean. This exposure to Agent Orange and ionized radiation resulted in developing PSP at 70.

In August of 1962, Gerry met Nickie (née Hoskins) at a USO dance in Long Beach. The couple eloped

four months later and were married Dec. 22, 1962, in Lexington. They returned to California, where Gerry began a long career as a grocery store manager. The couple adopted their only child, Kimberly, in March of 1967. The family moved to Colorado in 1976 where they co-owned and operated a grocery store in Winter Park, Colo., for five years. The family moved to Lexington for one year, where Gerry worked in a grocery store and as a crop adjuster. Then, once again, Gerry and family moved back to the Golden State.

After living in Santa Clara for five years, Gerry and family settled in Sacramento in 1987. Gerry worked for the family-owned Compton’s Markets in Sacramento and then started his own handyman business in Gold River. He painted homes throughout the Sacramento Valley area and was still getting requests to paint homes well into his retirement.

team from 1967 To 1990.

In 1964, Bob started the rugby team at UCD. For many years he served as the administrative director of AAU Wrestling Camp. He served five summers at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and became a Team Leader for the USA Greco-Roman wrestling team at the World University Games in Bucharest, Romania. During this time, he was elected President of the Division II Wrestling Coaches Association and hosted the D2 Wrestling Championship Tournament at UC Davis.

In 1959, Bob and Marilyn had their son, who was soon followed by his three sisters. The family made many wonderful memories camping at the North Coast, Kern River and Mammoth as well as camping their way to Michigan State for a sabbatical in 1972. Bob was also a part of the Davis Kids Summer Sports School program that ran for 10 years during the

Gerry enjoyed traveling, including vacations to Hawaii, Florida, and China. He loved swimming in the ocean and his backyard pool. Friends and family fondly remember Gerry often jumping into the swimming pool fully clothed after coming home from work. Each morning, for as long as his eyesight would allow, he started the day by reading his bible. He loved listening to Jesus music.

He is survived by his wife, Nickie, and daughter, Kim, of Gold River; along with his sisters Margie and Nancy, of Lexington. He was preceeded in death by his parents, Ralph and Mary Orendor; and siblings Doris, Darlene, Vick and Jimmy, all of Lexington. Gerry was also the beloved brother-in-law and uncle to many, who all recall his warm smile, loving spirit and crazy antics.

He will be greatly missed by friends and family. He will be laid to rest at Sacramento Valley National Cemetery in Dixon.

In the ’60s and early ’70s, with other Davis families, Bob and family hosted a summer camp for children in foster care, matching each child with a Davis High School student mentor for a week of fun and adventure in the Sierra.

After retirement from UC Davis in 1990, Robert and Marilyn continued to have fun, and whether it was attending a concert or traveling to exotic countries they were always game for a new adventure. Robert and Marilyn traveled extensively throughout the United States and the world, including Canada, Western Europe, Romania, Indonesia, Japan, French Polynesia (by sailboat) and spent their 50th Wedding Anniversary in Hawaii with their family.

One amazing thing about our parents was they could meet someone in a restaurant on their travels

and by the end of the meal they were lifelong friends.

Robert was preceded in death by his parents, his loving wife Marilyn and brother Phillip. He is survived by brothers Stan and Steven and sister Laura Lou, his brother in law Robert Van Heuit (Marilyn) and his children: Paul Brooks (Rhonda), Mary (Rich) Carolyn and Ellen (Mike). He is also survived by numerous grandchildren and a great-grandson.

BUDGET: Capitol agreement has wide-ranging outcomes From Page A1 which includes $234.4 billion in general fund spending and which legislative budget committees began debating today — is similar in many ways to a placeholder budget that the Legislature passed earlier this month to meet a constitutional deadline.

But at Newsom’s insistence, new spending commitments were slashed by several billion dollars and some appropriations will only be triggered in future years if revenue estimates hold up. As the state eyes another potential economic downturn, reserves will grow to nearly $38 billion, including more than $23 billion in the general rainy-day fund.

With tax revenues surging, driven by massive income gains among the wealthiest Californians, state leaders maneuvered to avoid the Gann Limit, an obscure provision that prohibits spending above a certain level per capita. Increased infrastructure and emergency expenditures, which are exempt in certain circumstances, as well as the tax refunds, will keep the state below the limit for the next few years.

The Legislature is now considering placing a measure before voters on the 2024 ballot that would loosen the Gann Limit restrictions.

The tax rebate program, which has been publicly debated for months, is the centerpiece of the budget deal. Under the $9.5 billion plan, more than 95% of taxpayers — those making as much as $250,000 a year, or $500,000 if they file jointly — will receive a payment this fall. The amounts vary based on income and whether the recipients have dependents, so a low-income family with children will receive $1,050, while a single taxpayer with a higher income will receive just $200.

To reach Californians who do not file taxes, the state will also increase Supplemental Social Security grants by about $39 per month for individuals and $100

for couples, while welfare grants through CalWORKs will increase by an additional 10 percent for the next two years.

Abortion access The state budget deal cemented Democrats’ commitment to supporting abortion access in California, investing $205 million to improve reproductive health care infrastructure and to ensure people seeking abortions can get to clinics.

The agreement earmarked $40 million in one-time funds to subsidize the cost of providing abortions to low-income or uninsured patients, including those who come from out of state. The deal also commits $20 million over three years to create the California Abortion Support Fund, which would hand out grants to women who need help paying for travel, lodging, child care and other expenses that advocates say prevent many low-income women from accessing abortion services.

More than $60 million will go towards shoring up the health care workforce by training more clinicians in abortion care and defraying higher education costs for future clinicians that commit to providing reproductive health services.

Other elements of the spending deal support a 15-bill package moving through the Legislature to expand abortion access.

— Kristen Hwang

Social safety net The budget deal expands social spending, including by extending state health coverage to lowincome undocumented immigrants of all ages and food assistance to immigrants ages 55 and older, who are currently excluded from the CalFresh program. The state would become the first in the nation to extend state food assistance to such immigrants.

Low-income Californians also

Former foster youth would receive $1,000 a year through a new tax credit program.

The budget would put more than $260 million toward allowing single parents who get cash aid through CalWorks to also receive their child support checks, moving away from a long-standing state practice of keeping child support payments to reimburse itself for the welfare grants. The two-part plan would begin with families who are already off CalWORKS; starting in 2025, parents currently receiving cash aid would be allowed access to their full child support at the same time.

Lawmakers and the governor compromised on how far to go in reducing an obscure $300 late fee that courts often tack onto traffic tickets and other infractions. Civil rights advocates argue the practice can cause a simple fine to balloon as much as tenfold for poor defendants who cannot afford to pay the original ticket.

— Jeanne Kuang

Small businesses Some relief is coming for small businesses. Under the new deal,

the state will give $250 million to small businesses and nonprofits to offset the cost of offering up to two weeks of additional paid sick leave for COVID-19, a requirement added by the state in February.

More aid will be coming down the line. All employers will face tax increases starting in 2023 to pay back a massive loan the state received from the federal government to cover the surge of Californians claiming unemployment benefits early in the pandemic. That tax will increase by $21 per worker each year until the more than $17 billion loan is paid off. But the budget sets aside $500 million to help small businesses offset the higher taxes starting as soon as 2024, and directs $1 billion to paying down the loan principal this year.

The deal also allocates millions to upgrades at the embattled department that handles unemployment benefits. The Employment Development Department will receive, for example, $10.2 million to upgrade its cyber security, $21.5 million to support fraud investigation and prosecution efforts and $136 million for the first year of a multi year department-wide modernization project.

Tucked into a budget trailer

bill is an attempt to attract jobs away from less progressive states.

Potentially starting in July 2023, decisions about which businesses receive a grant to add new jobs in California can factor in whether the company would be relocating jobs away from a state that limits access to abortion or “permits discrimination” on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. Newsom first teased that idea in a May speech, encouraging companies to come to the Golden State, where the “values that you express in your public documents are actually reflected in terms of the work we do as a state.”

— Grace Gedye

Public schools Following last year’s recordbreaking education budget, public schools will receive yet another historic windfall. The final budget agreement increases the base funding for the local control funding formula, the mechanism through which most of the state’s public schools are funded, by $9 billion, or 13%. That means even more money for districts that serve high numbers of foster children, English learners and students from low-income households.

This is the largest single-year increase to the formula since its inception in 2013. The boost is a much-needed remedy for districts that have struggled to pay for ongoing costs such as salaries and benefits with one-time funding from the state and federal governments. However, in addition to the billions of dollars that schools have already received to navigate the pandemic’s aftermath, the budget includes another $8 billion in learning recovery grants that expire in five years.

This new money is paired with a measure that would help districts avoid a sudden drop in funding due to plummeting enrollment and attendance rates during the pandemic.

dressing. Toss to coat.

To serve, place about 1/3 cup vegetable-rice mixture in each lettuce leaf. Top with one sablefish portion. Sprinkle each lettuce cup with 1 tablespoon cilantro leaves.

Special to The Enterprise Cooking delicious family meals is surely the focus of many home chefs, from quick dishes on busy weeknights to homestyle favorites on the weekend.

Equally important, however, is dishing up foods and ingredients you can feel good about serving to your loved ones.

The next time seafood is on the menu, consider the source of your main course. Available fresh, frozen, smoked and canned year-round and nationwide, seafood from Alaska is sustainably harvested, and you can trust it comes from a responsibly managed fishery. Utilizing a science-based approach, the state sustains the long-term vitality of species and their natural habitats, as well as the fishing communities that rely on them.

Fishermen and scientists work together to ensure they only harvest what science tells them the ecosystem can support, so that fish stocks, communities and the marine environment can thrive for generations to come.

Wild, sustainable and harvested in the USA, Alaska seafood is full of flavor and high-quality protein, vitamins, minerals and oils essential to good health, including omega-3s and vitamin D. You can feel good serving your loved ones these Blackened Alaska Cod Tacos as a classic way to spice up your dinner table, or give a sweet heat kick to Spicy Alaska Sablefish in Lettuce Cups with Korean chili paste, miso and honey.

A recipe for healing the world — one good glass at a time

S

everal years ago I came across a book titled, “I’m Just Here for the Food.” I laughed aloud — my sentiments exactly. I feel something akin to horror when I read accounts of COVID’s effects, occasionally lingering, on some people’s sense of taste and smell — and therefore appetite. Bring on the boosters. Because, yes, I’m just here for the food (and that includes wine, of course.)

That may sound like a reprehensibly hedonistic reason for living, but pleasure, important in itself, is also a powerful motivator for action. A more recent title that reinforced this for me is “Dessert Can Save the World.”

Author Christina Tosi writes that “the spirit of dessert — the relentless, unflinching commitment to finding or creating joy even when joy feels hard to come by — is what can save us. And then we, in turn, can each save the world.”

I noticed that title in a recent cookbook review because three years ago I wrote a poem for a friend’s birthday called “Birthday Cake Saves the World” — with the same theme. And my car sports a bumper sticker with a similar message — “Heal the world, Cook dinner tonight.”

These titles and phrases suggest what has been the most significant thing I’ve learned writing this column — the interconnectedness of what we eat and drink with climate change, social justice, and, yes, the future of the planet.

The regenerative-agriculture movement is for me the closest incarnation of this connection. Its mission (much simplified): revitalizing and enhancing the soil (and the billions of creatures who dwell therein) with care and respect, partnering with other animals to help grow our food and renew that soil, managing water resources, and attending to labor issues — all in service of feeding ourselves and our fellow humans clean and nourishing and delicious food and wine.

The world of Small Ag and Small Wine seem to me especially attuned to this interconnection. I frequently mention, for example, the many political and social initiatives in this particular small world that affect the larger world — things like a winery’s decision to use only organically grown, dry-farmed grapes harvested by decently paid and well-respected workers. Things like wineries and wine shops and wine-serving restaurants collaborating with neighborhood artists and chefs on a wide variety of hand-made goods and community events.

And, of course, there’s Jose Andres and friends at World

Central Kitchen, going wherever people need urgently to be fed.

In the last decade, great wine writers like Jancis Robinson and Eric Asimov have regularly taken up these issues in their columns, routinely discussing, for example, with the growers and winemakers they interview, soil and labor conditions in the vineyard. Robinson regularly urges vintners to reduce their carbon footprint even further by using light or returnable bottles and alternative packaging like cans, boxes, and wine-on-tap.

And these “causes” influence her life in other ways as well. Last month she wrote, for example, that she’s rethinking her attitude toward travel: “Just as lockdown should have ended executives’ transatlantic hops ‘for a meeting,’ I am now feeling much more wary of flying in general, ever mindful of my carbon footprint ...

I’m even wondering whether as a wine writer I need to travel at all, especially to wine estates I have already visited.” She continues by noting that almost all the wine producers she has recently talked with — “from Bordeaux, South Africa, Montalcino, Napa Valley, Bolgheri and Barossa” — had the same preoccupations, “climate change and vineyard labor.”

I care about food and wine so much because they’re living things connected to every other living thing and, really, to every decision I make whether about where I go and how I get there to what I wear and how I clean and what I grow in my tiny garden

and how much water I use. And once I make these decisions for my own everyday acts, I want to support other people and businesses and elected officials who exhibit the same planet-caring concerns.

So, yes, I’ve written several variations of this column recently, but I can’t stop because these issues seem to be so urgent and crucial to our future. Since some readers actually do read “Wineaux” for a bottle suggestion or two, though, I better get to it.

As soon as I started thinking about this column, I began to crave a white wine called The Gadabout from one of my favorite and most sustainable places, the urban (Berkeley) winery Donkey and Goat. I’ve written many times about D&G and especially about this particular wine (and its red sibling The Gallivanter), but I hadn’t tried the most recent vintage (2020). Fortunately it’s easily available — at the Davis Co-op ($20). It’s more affordable than most of the D&G offerings, any and all of which are worth investing in.

I’ve been especially impressed over the years by their wonderful chardonnays, but these are a significant splurge. The Gadabout is chardonnay-based (grapes from Mendocino) with some greanche blanc, marsanne and other Rhone varieties from El Dorado.

Though a blend, it has many of the virtues of the more expensive chardonnays.

The juice stays on the skins for

a couple of days, which adds texture and puts it in the orange wine category, but the color is actually a lovely gold. Its burst of rich stone fruit flavors are balanced at the back by lemon and lime and a touch of minerals.

While just 12% alcohol, it’s a lush, mouth-filling wine, perhaps not best suited to 100-plus degree days but delicious and satisfying on all the others. And the crisp acidity make it a perfect partner for seafood of all sorts and for seasonal vegetable dishes. It’s unfiltered; a lot of sediment remains, which adds interest and flavor, so don’t avoid it. And this is one of those whites that’s lovely very chilled and differently lovely as it approaches room temperature.

I served the bottle with a basilinfused fresh corn sauce (at last the corn is here!) over farfalle. A perfect meal to celebrate the first official day of summer. And a meal that made me feel, for an hour at least, that the world CAN be saved — and that it’s worth saving. Let’s get to it. Make dinner tonight. Be a gadabout. Drink great, natural, sustainably made wine. Go solar. Eat dessert. Elect progressives. Shop locally. Write a check to World Central Kitchen or Rainforest Alliance. Love your neighbor. You know the drill.

Water polo

Blue Devils quartet earn All-American honors

By Mike Bush Enterprise sports editor Four Davis High girls water polo players, two of whom graduated earlier this month, are still earning honors long after the 2021 season ended.

Lindsay Taylor and Maddie Walker, both of whom graduated from DHS earlier this month, join Kenzie Walker and Malaya Wright, now seniors, were recently named to the National Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association’s AllAmerica teams.

Taylor, an attacker who is going to Indiana University on a scholarship, was named to the NISCA’s first team. She played in 30 games for Davis last fall, this season. She had 123 goals, 53 steals and 45 assists.

“I’m honestly really surprised Imade the first team,” Taylor said. “It’s an amazing accomplishment that really added the cherry on the top of my high school career. When my dad sent me the list this afternoon (Tuesday), and I was

like ‘Oh my God what?!’”

Maddie Walker, a goalie, was named to the second team. In 33 games last fall, Walker had 32 steals and 13 assists. She had 281 saves.

Walker is UC Santa Barbara bound, also on a scholarship.

Kenzie Walker, a senior who is Maddie’s younger sister, was named to the third team. Walker had 89 goals as a junior last fall.

Wright, who is the daughter of longtime Davis head coach Doug Wright, earned fourth team honors. Wright was on target in scoring last year, finishing with 74 goals.

The quartet helped last year’s Davis High girls water polo squad to a 30-4 record, which included beating Granite Bay in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division I championship game in November.

Davis has won 13 D-I section titles since 2000 and a combined 16 — that includes three in D-II — since 1991.

American team loses wild one

By Henry Krueger Enterprise correspondent It was the greatest comeback that never was.

Down 13-2 to Vacaville American at the end of the third inning, the Davis American All-Star 8-10U team brought out the rally caps earlier than usual on Monday in the District 64 Tournament at the Davis Little League Complex.

The trick worked as Davis proceeded to score eight runs in the next two innings, making it a 13-10 ballgame.

After Vacaville added two more runs in the bottom half of the fifth inning, Davis’ hitters seemed ready to rake heading into the sixth inning. But there was one problem.

The sprinklers on the East Field had turned on almost immediately after the conclusion of the fifth inning. This prompted a 25-minute delay before the game was moved to a nearby field.

When the game resumed, Davis began the top of the sixth inning with a single to center fielder from Reid Forward followed by a walk from Pete Prussel.

However, Vacaville pitcher Liam Harrelson recovered and retired the next three Davis hitters to post a 15-10 victory. Vacaville remains in the winner’s bracket while Davis heads to the loser’s side of the tournament.

“I was really proud of them and the fact that they stayed in it,” said Davis American head coach Kermit Kruse, whose son Rhett is on the team. “They played six innings and despite going down early, they stayed in there. I believe in this team. They’re fighters until the end.”

The game was a high-scoring contest from start to finish, with Davis plating the first run when Logan Wallace walked with the bases loaded in the top of the first inning.

Vacaville would respond in the bottom half of the frame, scoring three runs off an RBI single from A.J. Baker and a two-run single from Landon Renner to take a 3-1 lead.

The team would extend their lead in the second inning

as Will Callaghan hit an RBI groundout and Colton Meyer brought home two runs on a single to right field.

Vacaville’s biggest inning came in the third inning, which saw seven runs cross home plate. Davis pitcher Evan Abrams, who took over for starter Sam Adams in the second inning, walked Vacaville’s first two hitters to begin the frame.

With two runners on base and no outs, Davis’ infielders struggled to get outs as they committed several throwing errors, which resulted in several runs being scored. The only run in the inning that came off a hit was a two-run single to center field by Liam Harrelson.

Down more than 10 runs entering the fourth inning, Davis had one objective in mind: put runs on the board.

The players delivered as Davis scored six runs in the frame.

Vacaville pitcher Will Callaghan seemed rattled, walking two hitters before hitting another two. The free passes accounted for three runs in the inning.

Davis tallied two more runs in the top of the fifth inning after Wallace doubled to the left-center gap which scored two runs to make it 13-10.

Looking to stop the bleeding, Vacaville extended its lead in the bottom of the fifth inning as Leo Julio hit an RBI single to center field and Kaleb Harrelson walked to force in a run.

Davis went scoreless in the top of the sixth inning as Vacaville secured the victory.

Kermit Kruse was quick to take responsibility following the loss.

“The real trick is knowing when to pull the strings and knowing when to pull somebody and when to put them in and that’s on me tonight,” Kruse said. “I lost it for the team.”

Davis’ next game will be Wednesday at 7 p.m. against the winner of the Woodland National-Woodland American game that was played on Tuesday.

Nationals are eliminated from tournament

By Rebecca Wasik Enterprise correspondent The temperature and the number of runs scored at the 8–10-year-old Davis National Little League AllStars team’s game on Monday were both high.

After three innings of play, the Davis National League All-Stars fell to the Woodland American League All-Stars by a score of 20-3 at the Davis Little League Complex’s West Field.

Davis’ loss, which was its second in the tournament as it fell to the Vacaville American AllStars Little League squad on Sunday, eliminated it from the tournament.

Woodland packed on the heat early, scoring 16 runs in the first inning.Logan Stanley and Benny Samson split time on the mound for Davis.

Julian Marwedel caught a popup at first base to end the half, bringing Davis up to bat. But Davis went three-up, three-down in

the first inning. Adam Wood and Samson grounded out while Will Leach popped up to second base to end the inning.

Going into the second frame, Woodland led 16-0.

Woodland added another two runs to its tally.

Samson recorded a strikeout for the first out of the half inning.

Two groundouts followed, allowing Davis offense to come back to the plate.

Davis scored its three runs in the second inning.

After a groundout from Gavin Kurth, Stanley, Davis’ first baserunner of the game, was walked.

Stanley then moved to second base on a wild pitch.

Marwedel followed with a double, which scored Stanley for a 16-1 score.

Next, Renan McCarthy smacked a triple, bringing home Marwedel to make it

Forget balance if facts are on one side

Investing in I housing the best answer to homelessness

By Mike Herald Special to CalMatters

T

wenty years have passed since voters approved a $2.1 billion bond to address homelessness, yet it remains a humanitarian crisis with no foreseeable end.

Homeless encampments abound, and another governor is proposing a solution that does not address the root cause. The problem is clear — people cannot afford the rents in California — and so is the answer.

Californians need more housing, and the state needs to help pay for it.

Gov. Gavin Newsom seeks reelection as the public fumes over homelessness and state leaders scramble to react. He proposed a CARE Court to address the number of people living on the street who have severe mental health challenges. What isn’t proposed is what is needed: help finding and the ability to stay in affordable housing.

The state needs to help people secure a place to live when they are released from government custody (jail, prison, mental hospitals, detention). Any proposal that doesn’t include ongoing funding and implementation for rental assistance simply won’t work.

In a state with living costs as high as California’s, we must use the $100 billion surplus born of enormous wealth gains among the state’s top earners to stop this stain on California. We must invest where help is needed most. We must guarantee ongoing rental assistance to help people who can’t afford rent.

There have been numerous attempts by housing and human service advocates and counties to fund rental assistance programs. Invariably, such programs underperform because the state places time limits on rental assistance. If you are homeless and need to find a place to live, for example, the state limits rental assistance to six months. California provides cash assistance when someone’s Supplemental Security Income application is pending, but the moment he or she becomes eligible, the state cuts off the money.

Decisions to place time limits on rental assistance are handed down from California’s Department of Finance, which has clung to the myth that temporary rental assistance motivates people to earn more money. There is zero empirical evidence for that policy assertion.

So state policy continues to be: Let the problem persist even as the solution lies in front of us, because the state doesn’t want to pay for it.

In 2002, amid similar public pressure to address homelessness, then-Gov. Gray Davis appointed me to California’s Department of Housing and Community Development, where I worked with his staff to help develop a homelessness plan. We met with people from around the state and uncovered two key findings: n Most people were unhoused because they did not have enough income to pay rent. n Almost every unhoused person was known to us. They had been in our foster care system, our county hospitals, our jails, our state mental hospitals, our Supplemental Security Income program, our mental health system, or our prisons — often in combination.

Those findings hold true in California today, but the situation is worse because of recession, pandemic, stagnant wages and rising costs of living — and the state’s failure to make ongoing investments to address the issues identified in 2002.

This budget season, the Newsom administration and the Legislature must allocate steady funding — not temporary funding — for rental assistance and the creation of permanent, supportive housing. Otherwise, we will be here again, or even worse off, 20 years from now.

— Mike Herald is the director of policy advocacy at the Western Center on Law & Poverty. wrote this for CalMatters, a public interest journalism venture committed to explaining how California's Capitol works.

n my June 1 column, I wrote about the many massacres of minors in the United States, where gunmen, armed with militarystyle assault rifles and large capacity magazines have slaughtered schoolchildren as young as six.

I pointed out that powerful Republican members of Congress have taken millions of dollars in donations from the gun and ammunition makers and have in turn fought vigorously to defeat effective firearms reforms.

I got a lot of feedback, almost all of it positive. But two emailers were critical.

One writer believes that I was wrong to include the names and ages of juvenile victims without first getting the approval of their parents.

Beside the fact that the identity of these dead children is public information, I believe including their names and ages adds to the strength of my argument. For the sake of “gun rights” and gun profits, we are allowing six-yearolds like Charlotte Bacon, Olivia Engel, Dylan Hockley, Madeleine Hsu and many more to die.

Another writer felt my piece was too one-sided.

“Had you applied some balance — like mentioning the Democrats control the House, Senate and presidency and have done zero on gun violence in the last 18 months — this column might resonate with those not on the far right or left.”

I don’t believe wanting to save the lives of American children puts me on the political fringe. The majority of Americans (64%-27%) favor banning assault rifles, for example.

It should be noted that Congress passed and President Biden signed into law

Letter: Jan. 6 hearing Trump was right (for once); there was election fraud and he should know, he’s the one that did it.

Richard Painter, ethics lawyer under George W. Bush, now professor at the University of Minnesota, was interviewed June 10 on “The Day,” a program from the German news network DW. He was asked the significance of the televised House hearing to any subsequent legal actions.

Painter said the strongest case against Trump is not his role in the insurrection;

the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act — the first gunsafety legislation since 1994 — weeks after I received that email.

It’s also worth pointing out that the BSCA won’t make a difference in most mass murders: it doesn’t ban assault rifles and large capacity magazines; make civilians pass gun-safety courses and regularly prove they are mentally fit in order to obtain a state license to possess guns; or outlaw people under age 21 to buy or own firearms.

While I am not a political extremist or a partisan, I think this criticism of my not having written a “balanced” piece is awry. When the Democrats are at fault for a misguided policy — especially one where they are taking money from a special interest group and passing policies that are against the public welfare — I will say just that.

It would be utter nonsense to blame Republicans in California for the pension crisis, for example, that has put every city and county in CalPERS in severe debt and has eaten up the tax money needed to maintain public infrastructure and services.

That is the fault of Democrats on the take from public employee unions. I have written that many times. Balancing it out by faulting Republicans in this case would be absurd.

of the Congress is also misleading. It’s true that Democrats have a slim majority in the House and that Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, is the majority leader in the Senate.

But that doesn’t mean Republicans cannot stop them from passing gun legislation.

In order to even hold a vote in the Senate, Democrats need 60 votes. There are currently 50 Republicans, 48 Democrats and 2 independents who vote with the Democrats.

The likely inconsequential Bipartisan Safer Communities Act only got a vote and was passed because 10 Republicans, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, defected this one time.

S

howing “balance” may sound like a positive.

But insofar as that means giving equal fault or credit on a given issue, it’s deceptive. If the facts are such that one side deserves commendation and the other blame, it’s not fair to be “balanced.”

For most of its existence, Fox News employed a disingenuous slogan, “Fair and Balanced.” While they dropped that motto five years ago, that network has never been fair or balanced.

Fox commentators put a right-wing spin on news topics. They do so to attract a right-wing audience. As the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit is trying to show, Fox has not let facts — let alone balance — get in the way of its biased coverage.

On many public controversies, there are data that lead to different, often partisan conclusions, and in those cases news coverage — but not necessarily an op-ed — ought to be balanced, to

proving Trump’s suggestive words, e.g. “will be wild,” were explicit orders for violence would not be easy. The strongest case is where the evidence is already overwhelming and more than sufficient to convict. This would be Trump’s engagement in voter fraud and political coercion, both of which are federal crimes. Should former presidents be prosecuted for crimes they commit? Yes, he said. Given AG Garland’s apparent hesitation to take action, Painter said he’s advocated since January 2021 for Garland to appoint a Special Prosecutor to relieve him (Garland) of any conflicts of interest in reaching a decision.

present both sides.

An example of this is with wildfire policy — whether we need to encourage and allow much more logging by forprofit companies, as many Republicans believe; or spend more money on forest management, including prescribed burns, as Democrats favor.

But in other cases, giving both sides equal weight ignores the fact that the facts are not in balance — the data points one way.

The Republican Party — certainly in the last 10 years — has been skeptical of climate science and has actively fought against policies that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Democrats have largely embraced the scientific consensus that climate change is a real threat, that human activities are at fault and we can enact policies that halt or reverse this catastrophe.

It would make no sense to give equal weight to both sides on this issue. There has been no peer-reviewed research in the last 20 years that calls into question the basic assumptions of the scientific consensus on climate change. Presenting one side and then the other, in order to achieve balance, would effectively be a lie.

While it’s fair to say I am on the Democratic side on firearms policy, it’s flawed to find fault with me for not giving fair weight to Republicans on this issue. The GOP is taking money from the arms industry and vetoing laws that would save children’s lives. That’s just a fact.

County, Ga., has pressed ahead with a grand jury to subpoena witnesses and gather evidence to advise their district attorney on pursuing criminal charges for election fraud.

As for the televised House hearings, the stated goal is to educate the public on Trump’s involvement in the insurrection.

While this is laudable and turning public opinion against Trump would be strategic just was we approach elections in November, public opinion and upcoming elections cannot substitute for litigation against Trump. I hope the committee has not given up on justice. If so, that would be to its and our everlasting shame.

In September 1787, the Founding Fathers signed the United States Constitution. Every year, a day in September is recognized as the day to celebrate the importance of the Constitution. This year it’s on September 16. And Kid Scoop is celebrating with a page about a great American symbol: The bald eagle!

Eagles Everywhere

52

55

Have you ever been told you have eagle eyes?

If so, that is a compliment.

Eagles can see much better than humans.

They have to be able to spot a fish or a small animal from hundreds of feet in the air.

On Eagle’s Wings

Do the math to discover amazing bald eagle facts.

54

The bald eagle can be found on the Great Seal of the United States, on the country’s money and in many images of patriotism. This week, look around you and see how many times you see pictures of a bald eagle.

The height of an adult bald eagle is 16 - 12 = ______ feet.

The wings of a bald eagle can span 2 + 5 + 1 = ______ feet wide.

A bald eagle can reach a speed of up to 75 + 75 + 50 = ______ miles per hour when diving for a meal.

The back of a quarter

The Great Seal can be found on the back of a dollar bill.

Lay out several newspaper pages and tape them together to make a large sheet of paper about six feet by eight feet.

Make a Life-Sized Newspaper Eagle

Complete the “On Eagle’s Wings” math activity to find out the height and wing span of an adult eagle. Then work with a partner to measure and mark these points on the newspaper sheet.

TOP OF THE HEAD TALON TIP OF LEFT WING TIP OF RIGHT WING Connect the points you measured and draw and color a life-sized bald eagle.

Cut out the bald eagle to display in your room!

A bald eagle’s long, broad wings make them good at soaring through the air. On long flights, eagles rarely flap their wings. Instead, they use thermal updrafts. Thermal updrafts are currents of warm air that rise up from the ground. Eagles save energy by flying high in a thermal updraft and then gliding down to catch the next one.

Eaglets – Awwwwwww!

Eagle chicks are brown and white. The female lays one to three eggs. The eggs take between one to one and a half months to hatch. The male and female take turns sitting on the eggs. After hatching, both the male and female feed the hatchlings until they learn to fly. Eaglets are capable of flying at 10 to 12 weeks old.

Eaglets don’t develop their normal white heads and tails until they are four to five years old. In the wild, eagles can live to be 35 years old or more.

The scientific name for a bald eagle is Haliaeetus leucocephalus.

Write the letter that comes before each letter to find out what this means.

X I J U F T F B

I F B E F E F B HMF

A bald eagle isn’t really bald. The name comes from an old English word, balde, meaning white.

If an eagle loses a feather in one wing, the matching one on the other wing also drops off. This keeps the bird in balance.

Soccer

FC Davis men’s squad ends season in playoffs

By Henry Krueger Enterprise correspondent Napa Valley 1839 FC defender Paris Martins was streaking down the right wing when he received the perfect through ball from midfielder Miguel Galvan.

Martins controlled the pass with one touch before burying the goal.

Several FC Davis men’s soccer players fell to their knees in frustration, watching the 1839ers celebrate after capturing the lead in overtime, which led to a 2-1 victory in Saturday’s quarterfinal match at Dodd Stadium in Napa.

The Golden Lions (4-51) were unable to score in the final 16 minutes of play as Napa Valley (8-20) punched its ticket to the conference semifinals where it will play El Farolito FC (8-2-0) on Saturday, July 9.

“It felt amazing,” Martins said in a postgame interview posted to his team’s YouTube channel. “We came out to play tonight and we got the win.”

For the Golden Lions, the loss concludes their season.

“It’s heartbreaking,” said FC Davis head coach Kris Hall. “This game ultimately came down to composure and a little luck. Napa is a great team that has a proven way of play which they’re good at executing. They played well and showed they’re on a mission.”

The Golden Lions (3-13) kept the score much closer this time than their regular-season match with Napa Valley, an 8-1 loss on June 11.

“After facing Napa a couple of weeks ago, we were prepared and determined,” Hall said.

“We went into the game confident and prepared for how they played and executed our game plan which showed with us scoring first.”

FC Davis’ only goal came in the 54th minute off a header from Robert Mejia. Napa Valley tied the game in the 70th minute when forward Guilherme Martins scored off a cross from forward Oscar Ortiz.

After Saturday’s match, the Golden Lions have now suffered first-round losses in consecutive seasons.

“There’s a lot of room for improvement,” said FC Davis forward Ty Shikashio. “These past few years’ first round losses were definitely not the way that we wanted things to go, especially last year when we were the No. 1 seed. It’s just going to take some time and a little bit more finding our identity and our playing style.”

Unlike the previous two seasons, FC Davis didn’t enter the playoffs as the No. 1 seed. The Golden Lions played just below .500 and had a goal differential of -11 during the regular season.

“We didn’t have the season that we wanted to,” Shikashio said. “We’re always pushing for that.

No. 1 spot going into the playoff tournament, but we had a lot of injuries, and we also had a couple of guys not able to make it to some games.”

Although the men’s season now over, local fans can still support FC Davis by cheering on the women’s team (3-1-3).

The FC Davis women play at Napa Valley 1839 FC on Tuesday.

The next women’s home game is Friday at Playfields Park against Lamorinda United (3-1-1).

NATIONALS: Game lasted only 3 innings From Page B1 16-2. Henry Wisniewski was subsequently hit by a pitch.

Hughes was then walked to load the bases.

Then Wood smacked a single, scoring McCarthy for Davis’ final run of the inning.

Going into the third frame, Woodland led 18-3.

With Braden Hughes on the bump for Davis, Woodland came up to bat for the final time in the game.

The Woodland All-Stars added two more runs, bringing the score to the final score.

After a groundout to first baseman Marwedel, Hughes recorded a strikeout for the second out of the half inning. Another groundout to Marwedel brought Davis up to bat once more.

Leach began the half inning with a flyout to centerfield. Jeremy Glass was then walked but was caught when attempting to steal second base.

Stanley followed with a walk, but it was fruitless.

The game was called after Eli Katz struck out to end the inning.

Due to the loss, Davis’ National League All-Stars will not be moving on to the next round of the 8–10-year-old tournament.

Davis won its first game against Winters on Saturday, then fell to the Vacaville American League team on Sunday.

Davis’ team is managed

by Jeff Wisniewski. Max Pitto is a member of the Davis National League AllStars as well.

Woodland’s American League All-Stars will move on to face Woodland’s National League All-Stars, which was on Tuesday at the complex.

The winner of that game will face the Davis American League All-Star team today at 7 p.m., also at the complex.
