Davis Cannabis Collective: ‘Healers, not dealers’ By aaRon geeRTS Enterprise staff writer The Davis Cannabis Collective has been serv ing its community proudly since Oct 9, 2018. Although trepidation still exists surrounding mari juana use, the DCC’s a legitimate business that lays outdated “stoner” stereotypes to rest. Back in the 2010s, the city passed an ordinance for retail cannabis use. Thirteen retail businesses applied, and out of those, five were selected to open up shop, including DCC and its team of experienced cannabis connoisseurs. “I started working at a dispensary about nine years ago, and I helped a lot of patients in that time,” CEO/CFO Ashley Kammerer said. “Of course, then it was all medical patients and I’d help about 30 to 40 a day and that adds up over time. Now I’ve helped thousands of people find cannabis products and it gives you real insight into the cannabis plant and how it works for people because you’re in a place where you’re getting non stop feedback about how it’s helping,” See cannaBIS, page a4 See maRSh, page a4

By Rachel BeckeR CalMatters California Gov. Gavin New som on Thursday unveiled a broad strategy for bolstering the state’s water supply that includes targets to recycle more water, expand reservoir storage and collect more data on the amounts farmers use. Newsom warned that new strategies are essential because California’s water supply will shrink by 10% as climate change brings warmer, drier conditions throughout the state. The plan, however, has lim ited details, distant deadlines and does not include a water conservation mandate. It also does not include mea sures to substantially address water use by agriculture, which uses about four times more water in California than people in urban areas use. Included in the plan are pos sible grants to fallow fields and programs to collect timely data on how much surface water growers use. It also floats the possibility of regulations to cur tail growers’ pumping from riv ers and streams beyond drought emergencies.Thenew report mentions that the state’s administration of a complex and archaic water rights system — entrenched since the Gold Rush — needs changes. ”That is something (Newsom) will lean into,”

‘A sense of peace’: Mental Health Court celebrates latest graduate
By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer WOODLAND — Amanda Manning’s low point came on July 11, 2019, when Woodland police arrested her for threatening a local shoe-store employee with a baseballSufferingbat.from both men tal-health and substanceabuse challenges that triggered years of criminal behavior, Manning accepted an offer to receive treatment through Yolo County’s Men tal Health Court. She knew the road wouldn’t be easy, having relapsed after completing prior treatment programs. “I just kept stomping for ward and backward, for ward and backward,” Manning said. “I didn’t think anything was going to sink in. I questioned the promise of a new life.” But three years later, fol lowing a journey marked by repeated peaks and valleys, Manning last week cele brated her completion of Mental Health Court — a treatment and monitoring program that seeks to increase participants' engagement in treatment while reducing their arrests, hospitalizations and jail time.The minimum 18-month program is a collaborative effort involving the Yolo Superior Court, Yolo County Probation Department, Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), as well as the Public Defender and District Attorney's offices. It follows a “wrap-around” treatment plan focusing on mental and physical health, substance-abuse recovery, stable housing and educa tional and vocational skills.

Cops find stolen property, drugs in ‘porch pirate’ arrest
At her graduation cere mony Thursday in Judge Peter Williams’ courtroom, representatives from MHC’s partner agencies took turns praising Manning’s perse verance over the years. “Amanda, week in and week out, you always stayed on target, even when you didn’t feel like it,” said Wil liams, who presides over the program. “It’s a blank slate out there. You have the tools that it takes to succeed, and you’re ready to launch.” Deputy District Attorney Preston Schaub noted that Manning followed through with her treatment despite numerous life challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the losses of her mother and stepfather, and repeated struggles to stabi lize her mental health. Schaub likened Man ning’s path to a game of poker.“You’re going to get dealt really bad hands from time to time. But you’re not play ing the hand — you’re play ing the table,” he said. Even when dealt a lousy hand, “everything you did with it really stood out.” Several of Manning’s friends and fellow Mental Health Court participants lauded her for being both an inspiration and source of support for them over theAndyears.although Manning’s time with the court has come to an end, its program leaders reminded her they’re always available to lean on should she need a helping hand. “If you ever get in a situa tion where you doubt your self, remember all these experts believe you’re ready,” Public Defender Tracie OlsonWhensaid.her time came to speak, Manning credited Mental Health Court for many of her achievements, from reconnecting with her daughter to finally experi encing “a sense of peace.” “I love the relationships I’ve made here, and I think they’re going to last long beyond Mental Health Court,” Manning said. “I’m proud to have you, and I hope you’re proud to have me.”Yolo County's Mental Health Court began in 2013. Today, the program offers 30 spots for partici pants, 15 of which are grantfunded.Thatfunding comes to an end later this year. Chief Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Raven said his office hopes resources from the state’s Mental Health Services Act will take its place.“Although our collabora tive courts serve hundreds of individuals who live with mental illness, Mental Health Court serves up to 30 who suffer from the most severe illnesses,” Raven said. “We are hoping that financial gap will be filled with the the 1 percent tax on millionaires used to help those with mental ill ness.”

The headline in Davis' Only Local Newspaper said "Des tination: Yolo County," fol lowed by the intriguing sub-head that declared "Area draws interest as travel spot." Wow. Maybe it's because I grew up here, but I've never thought of Yolo County as a tourist destina tion.Imean, all of our roads are straight as an arrow, intersecting each other at perfect 90-degree angles. They could hold a contest and give a swell prize to the first person to actually find a curve in a Yolo County road. All of our crops grow in long, neat rows, too, be they tomatoes or corn or grapes or almonds or pistachios.Onlyalfalfa grows wherever it pleases, looking like a greenhaired monster in need of a hair cut.Isuppose a city-dweller who never escaped his or her concreteladen lifestyle might be charmed by all those crops, but I'm not sure how long the thrill would last. As former California Gov. Ron ald Reagan might say, "You seen one walnut tree, you've seen 'em all." Believe it or not, there's even an outfit called "Visit Yolo," with an executive director and everything, trying to convince folks that towns like Davis are a destination, not a freeway exit. Then again, the fact you need a "Visit Yolo," in the first place pretty much proves we're not Yosemite.According to Visit Yolo Execu tive Director Terry Selk, he's hear ing from international travel sellers "how they had found in Yolo County a replacement for the NapaNotedValley."Selk, "They were tired of sending customers to a preten tious destination that was high priced, less fulfilling, and were looking to find something more authentic. So we certainly grabbed their attention there."

Given that UC Davis trained all the winemakers in the Napa Val ley, that certainly makes sense, even though rampant pretentious ness has sometimes reared its ugly head even in our beloved home Ptown.erhaps the Yolo tourism folks can come up with a bingo card where families could travel the backroads of Yolo County and fill in a blank every time they discovered a new crop. Were those safflowers or sun flowers, dear? Black walnuts or English walnuts? Rice or Rice-aRoni?Adollar to the first person who can explain why Knights Landing doesn't have an apostrophe or why Clarksburg isn't more properly Clark's Burg. And what's the obsession with the letter "W" in this county, what with Davis being surrounded by Woodland, Winters and West Sac ramento.Speaking of the county seat, when I grew up in Yolo County we regarded Woodland not as a tour ist attraction but rather as the home of the Dreaded D's: the Doctor, the Dentist, the DMV and the Draft Board.

Sudwerk begins on top brewpub
To mark the start of its remodel,restaurantSudwerk Brewing Co. hosted an event on Thursday, thank ing the community for its support.“We’re finally doing this,” co-owner Trent Yack zan said, raising his glass. “It’s a long time coming. Cheers.”Thefull-service restau rant at 2001 Second St. closed in 2016. The eatery and brewery were under separate ownerships. Sud werk started leasing the dining space in 2019. It updated the kitchen, and served food to patrons out side its taproom, The Dock. When interior remodeling began last month, food trucks returned.InMarch 2020, the brewery was ready to start the permitting process for the restaurant and beer garden remodel.

They hope to have it finished by the end of theCo-owneryear. Ryan Fry said, “Everyone really stepped up for us in the community — especially during COVID. I can’t wait to host you in this new facility.” Guests will enter the brewpub through the patio. The 3,500-squarefoot beer garden will have an all-weather shade structure, along with mis ters, fire pits, and an enter tainment stage. Inside, the kitchen, restaurant, beer hall and bathrooms are being redone. The interior space is about 10,000 square feet.

I’m happy to recognize him for his“Iachievement.”amhumbled and hon ored to receive this award,” Foster said. “Beekeeping is a labor of love. It helps put food on the table and we pollinate a lot of crops. Without bees the human race would not survive. Every third mouthful of food we eat is due to bee pollination. In addition, it pollinates a lot of wildflow ers to produce food for wild life.”Foster grew up working alongside his dad, who was a Yolo County beekeeper. He started his own business in 1975, buying his first bees from a beekeeper in Ash land, Ore. At first he pro duced honey but soon realized local farmers needed his services to polli nate their crops. As crop production grew, so did his business. He incorporated B-Z Bee Pollination in 1998. Now, he raises bee packages, including queen bees to ship throughout the United States and Canada. Foster is grateful for his wife, Michelle, and their four children for helping him achieve success.

From Page A1 By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer Gunshots rang out twice in Wood land last week, with one incident leading to an arrest while a second remains under investigation, police said.At about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, a wit ness on Kentucky Avenue reported that a van had been rear-ended by a sport-utility vehicle, whose driver fired several shots at the van before fleeing the scene, Sgt. Victoria Danzl said.Officers made contact with the shooting victim, who “advised that a driver in a white SUV had been fol lowing him and chasing him all over town,” Danzl said. The shooting ensued after the victim “slammed on his brakes and the SUV rear-ended him.” At least one bullet struck the van.Yolo County sheriff’s deputies assisting in the search for the shooter found the SUV on North Street and detained 37-year-old Christopher Birdwell of Woodland, who was booked into the Yolo County Jail on suspicion of shooting at an occupied vehicle, Danzl said. On Wednesday night, an officer patrolling near the Woodland High School campus heard a traffic colli sion, followed by numerous shots being fired, around 11:40 p.m. “Witnesses started to call in and identified the area of the shooting at West Cross Street and California Street,” Danzl said. “Officers arrived on scene and located a vehicle that had collided into the north fence of the cemetery. The occupants of the vehicle had fled.”

CANNABIS: Looking to establish roots From A1 fitness hearing. In light of that measure, Marsh underwent a Yolo Superior Court hearing to determine whether his case should have been tried in juvenile court and sen tenced accordingly, making him eligible for release from prison at age 25. Marsh, who is serving his sentence at the R.J. Dono van Correctional Facility in San Diego, turned 25 in May.Judge Samuel McAdam rejected Marsh’s resentenc ing bid in October 2018, his ruling later upheld by the Third Appellate District. Marsh pursued a new opportunity with Senate Bill 1391, which revised existing legislation allowing 14- and 15-year-old youths to be tried as adults in Cali fornia, regardless of the cir cumstances of their crimes. Marsh was a month shy of his 16th birthday at the time of the Davis murders. At issue: whether the judgment in Marsh’s case was final when SB 1391 took effect on Jan. 1, 2019, more than four years after his Yolo County conviction. The appellate court heard oral arguments in the case last summer and later dismissed Marsh’s appeal, ruling his judgment became finalized back in 2018, making him ineligi ble for resentencing in juvenile-court jurisdiction. Marsh’s appellate attor ney, Mark Greenberg, peti tioned the California Supreme Court to review the matter. The court granted a review but set the case aside pending another matter, People v. Padilla, an appeal of a 1982 murder case that also explored the issue of whether recent law should apply retroactively. On Wednesday, the Supreme Court ordered the Marsh case sent back to the Third District Court of Appeal to reconsider its prior ruling in light of the Padilla decision, which in June granted the defendant, now 40 years old, a juvenile-court fitness hear ing under Prop. 57. It was unclear Friday whether the Appellate Court would hear oral argu ments in the case or when it might decide the issue. But the Supreme Court’s order came as grim news to Yolo County prosecutors and the victims’ families, who thought Marsh’s appeals were finished. “While our father raised us to believe that due process was very important in allow ing all avenues of appeal to be exhausted, it’s very diffi cult to be the victim in a situ ation and have this constant churn of a process,” said Mary Northup, Chip North up’s“It’sdaughter.hardenough to go through it once, but to con tinually remember the facts and have them publicized, it has an impact on our lives,” she said. “When do the families ever get a break? It’s non sense that a criminal of this nature should ever be allowed to walk the streets again,” added Sarah Rice, Maupin’s granddaughter. “We just want to move for ward and heal, and these court appeals and reconsid erations don’t allow for it properly. Let him serve his time and stop wasting tax payers’Deputymoney.”District Attorney Amanda Zambor, who tried Marsh’s case in 2014, noted that the new legisla tion “does not make dis tinctions for the most violent juvenile offenders such as Marsh, who are true threats to public safety. Nor do they consider the effects of the new laws on the victims of crime. “It is not justice to con tinue to re-traumatize vic tims over and over again,” Zambor said. “At some point these cases have to be final, otherwise victims will continue to be re-victim ized with each new law that passes.”Greenberg, Marsh’s law yer, could not be reached for comment Friday.
Officers found numerous shell cas ings and a blood trail near the wrecked vehicle, along with evidence that a second car had crashed into the cemetery but had since left the scene. Shorty thereafter, dispatchers learned a shooting victim had arrived at a local hospital with a non-lifethreatening gunshot wound, Danzl said.

That ban was enacted in May as the city moved to the second level of its water shortage contingency plan. Vehicles may now only be washed at commercial car washes.According to city staff, restricting car washing this way will save 16 million gallons of water per year. But Rutherford on Wednesday asked if the city considered the impact on low-income residents. “I’m always thinking about the folks who are on limited means and are try ing to survive in this soci ety,” he said. “The minimum I’ve seen in town is eight bucks for a basic car wash and we’re talking about someone already spending an arm and a leg to fill up the tank of gas and add another eight bucks on that.” But Rutherford ulti mately voted in favor of the project as did Commission ers Greg Rowe, Cheryl Essex, Michelle Weiss and SteveEssex,Streeter.who was among the commissioners wanting more information about what trees would be pre served at the site said she was “satisfied with the cur rent plan that’s being pro posed.”“I’m really pleased that they responded to all our concerns on this about the trees.”Weiss also praised the applicants for accommo dating commissioners’ requests on tree preserva tion, including planting valley oaks, as well as add ing an outdoor seating area, an electric-car charg ing station and solar panels on top of the existing fuel canopy.“I’mimpressed,” she said. “I really think this group has listened very closely, taken all the feedback to heart… I just think this is a really good model for say ing, ‘I want this to be suc cessful and I want to be a great community member.’ “I don’t think that busi ness people in town are complemented enough,” said Weiss, “and I really do want to complement you. “Let’s get this thing done and get it looking good and sharp.”

And we cannot conserve our way out of this given how our climate has changed,” York said.In the 19-page document released today, the Newsom administration outlined efforts that include bolster ing recycled water supplies and storage capacity, both in reservoirs and ground water. Included are: n Increasing desalina tion of brackish water by 28,000 acre-feet per year by 2030 and 84,000 acrefeet per year by 2040. An acre foot of water can serve on average three Southern California households for a year. n Expanding reservoir and groundwater storage capacity by about 4 million acre-feet — through more groundwater recharge, stormwater capture, com pleting storage projects and expanding or rehabilitating existing reservoirs and dams. n Finalizing water effi ciency standards for houses and businesses called for by 2018 “in ways that make sense in each region.”

The report also touted the state’s controver sial tunnel proposal to rep lumb the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and pump more water south. Antioch Mayor Lamar Thorpe criti cized the tunnel plan dur ing remarks today with Newsom, although he voiced support for the rest of the administration’s waterAskedstrategy.during the brief ing about often-heard, farfetched ideas such as container ships ferrying water from Canada and the Pacific Northwest, Newsom answered, “I assure you, we have some more novel ones…that are more inter esting. But that’s for later.”
Now, Associate Professor Amir Kol, Professor Brian Murphy and Assistant Professor Krystle Reagan, all with the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, are expanding on that research to improve FIP treatment. For the trials, they are seeking to enroll cats in the early to mid-stage of FIP“Onedisease.trial will compare whether cats improve when treated with one of two closely related antivi ral drugs. The first drug, remdesivir, is an antiviral drug with emergency use authorization from the FDA to treat COVID-19,” the press release said. That trial will also test a second drug, GS-441524, which Pederson previ ously found safe and effective in treating cats with“TheFIP.other trial, funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Development, will exam ine if antiviral drugs com bined with a new stem cell therapy using mesen chymal stem cells, or MSCs, improve response to treatment for FIP,” the press release said. The goal of that study is to test whether cell ther apy can direct a more effective antiviral immune response in the cats to help regenerate their compromised immune system after infection. “FIP, as many other chronic viral infections, is characterized by a dys functional immune sys tem that is unable to clear the virus,” said Kol, asso ciate professor in the school’s Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology. “Our study explores a novel cel lular therapy that may help cats with FIP to bet ter fight infection, clear the virus, and regenerate their injured immune systems.”Owners interested in enrolling their cats in these clinical trials must live in Northern Califor nia or close by because cats will need several trips to UCD. Cats will need to meet the medical criteria. To learn more, visit UC Davis Veterinary Clinical Trials at pages.com/ucdavisvet.https://study

WATER: Governor urges new action
n Considering rules or other ways to “streamline and modernize the water right system, clarify senior water rights, and establish more equitable fees.” A key theme of the strat egy is expediting permit ting for a range of projects, including groundwater recharge and desalination. At the briefing, Newsom bemoaned what he called the “regulatory thickets” slowing these efforts, and pledged to work with the Legislature in its last weeks of session to “help us fast track these projects.” “The time to get these damn projects is ridiculous. It’s absurd. It’s reasonably comedic,” Newsom said. Newsom recently moved to streamline permitting for renewable energy proj ects, a contentious effort that lawmakers called “rushed” and “lousy.”
From A1 By CaleB Hampton Enterprise staff writer Scientists at the UC Davis School of Veteri nary Medicine have begun new clinical trials to test treatments for feline infectious peritoni tis, UC Davis announced this week in a press release. The School of Veterinary Medicine is currently enrolling patients for the trials at the UCD veterinary hos pital.FIP is a disease caused by a feline coronavirus variant that spreads through a cat’s body and causes systemic inflamma tion. Without treatment, the disease is fatal in up to 95% of cats infected. It is a different coronavirus than COVID-19.Catscandevelop FIP at any age, though it is most commonly found in cats aged six months to two years. FIP is one of the most common and deadly infectious diseases for young cats. Currently, there is no successful treatment that has been approved for use by vet erinarians in the United States.Research conducted by UC Davis Professor Emeritus Niels Pederson previously discovered sev eral promising treatments for FIP, including an anti viral drug not available to veterinarians in the U.S.
The strategies released today were already “identi fied broadly” in the state’s Water Resilience Portfolio, a news release says, “but they will now be expedited given the urgency of cli mate driven changes.”
Peter Gleick, co-founder and senior fellow at The Pacific Institute, a global water think-tank, applauded the announcement, but noted its limitations. “Many of the things in this strategy are important, many of these things need to be done. All of them need to be done faster. And there’s some gaps,” Gleick said. “There’s very little in here for agriculture … a hard challenge, because there are fewer knobs and levers that the state can turn and twist here.” For urban users, New som has not followed in the footsteps of former Gov. Jerry Brown, who imposed a statewide conservation mandate. Newsom has thus far preferred to leave the details to local water agen cies in what he has called a “mandate of local man dates.”Newsom said today’s that his voluntary approach came out of a comprehen sive analysis of les sons learned from the last drought. “One of the prin cipal recommendations in that report was do not impose one-size-fits-all,” Newsom said. He said he has met twice with water agency leaders to tell them, “You’ve got to step up your conservation efforts, or we will impose these statewide mandates.”Butwater use has not substantially declined under his voluntary mea sures. Urban usage dropped by about 7.6% in June compared to two years ago, but only 2.7% since last July compared to the same stretch in 2020. Today’s press conference, with the backdrop of a brackish-water desalina tion plant in Antioch that is under construction, comes on the heels of a poll reveal ing that more than twothirds of Californian adults surveyed said that state and local governments must do more to combat the current drought.Newsom’s announce ment also follows a highprofile resignation of a California water offi cial who lambasted the administration for “nearly eviscerat(ing)” the state water board’s “ability to tackle big Newsomchallenges.”calledon the Legislature, in its last weeks of session, to “streamline processes so projects can be planned, permitted and built more quickly, while protecting the environment.”

It’s Theofficial.college football season is upon us. Virtually every team in America, including our hometown heroes wearing the Blue and Gold, have started pre season camp in anticipation of a season opener less than a month away. UC Davis, coming off an 8-4 campaign that included an FCS playoff berth, opens Sept. 3 at Cal, then travels to perennial FCS power South Dakota State, which eliminated the Aggies from the playoffs with a convincing 56-24 win in Brookings last November. The UCD home opener is Sept. 17 against University of San Diego, a team the Aggies routed, 53-7, a year ago.

Trying to end that short losing streak quickly will be challenging given what the schedule-maker has handed head coach Dan Hawkins and his talented squad. With the exception of San Diego, the first five weeks of the season are a murderer’s row where the Aggies may well be the underdog nearly every Saturday in that span. Cal and South Dakota State will no doubt both be favored, but after San Diego comes a home date against always difficult Weber State, followed by a trip to Bozeman to take on Big Sky favorite Montana State. The Bobcats are loaded again after making it all the way to the FCS championship game last season before falling to North Dakota State, 38-10.

SACRAMENTO — High school sports participation remains optimistic since the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted education-based athletics during the final months of the 2019-20 schoolThoughyear.the overall 2021-22 reported participation numbers have declined from previous years, the 2022-23 school year appears promising as the California Interscholastic Federation looks for a continued increase in participation in the coming years. Down by 7.6% since the 2019-20 survey, 763,606 student-athletes were competing in education-based athletic programs in California during the 2021-22 school year. Contributing to the overall participation decline was a decrease in sub-varsity opportunities, including a reduction of 7.8% coaches during the 2021-22 school year, as well as a noticeable drop in individual sports participants in cross country, swimming and diving and track and field.Additionally, with 12% of schools not submitting data for the 2021-22 school year the CIF is hopeful with the immediate implementation of a proposed CIF Bylaw requiring schools to submit their data participation numbers will reflect a more accurate representation of student-athlete participation moving forward. “We are excited for a full return to education-based athletics during the 2022-23 school year,” states CIF Executive Director Ron Nocetti. “The CIF looks forward to resuming the growth of education-based athletics as our member schools continue a return to “Additionally,normalcy. we remain focused on our goals of expanding participation opportunities for girls as well as providing additional opportunities for all students at our member schools.” Football continues to lead the top 10 boys’ sports with 84,626 participants. Soccer (53,677) is the second most popular sport, followed by track and field (48,452), basketball (47,091) and baseball (44,179). For girls, soccer continues as the top sport with 47,044 participants. Volleyball came in second (45,534), followed by track and field with 38,399 participants.Softball(30,338) and basketball (30,142) rounded out the top five girls’ sports.Additionally, traditional competitive cheer saw a notable 13.2% increase (11,233), taking over the 10th most popular sport for girls. The CIF’s 1,609-member schools participated in the survey as part of the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) nationwide survey that measures the number of students competing in sports in the country.

It is a dream still associated with the Ser bian-American inventor Nikola Tesla: broadcasting electricity, making it avail able to users without a wire. Tesla took his plans for sending electric ity through the air to the grave with him, having been one of the architects of alter nating current, which was the building block of the electrified world. But Tesla’s dream has never died and, in fact, is alive and well and making progress — although not on the universal scale envi sioned by Tesla or his followers. They look on his scheme for electricity broadcast from towers, like radio, as a Holy Grail. His dream was as improbable as it was alluring.Buton a more down-to-earth level, inductive charging — wireless power trans fer — is surging. It has two distinct visions: One is to make wireless charging a reality for small devices. If airport terminals were wired for charging as they are for WiFi, there would be no more sitting on the floor by a plug. The other is for electric vehicles. Ahmad Glover, the enthusiastic president of WiGL, a small wireless electric transmis sion company, told me the military is extremely interested in wireless charging. Glover, an Air Force veteran, said the goal is to have forward bases equipped, during operations and in warfighting situations, so that troops can charge their electronics without plugging in. “The less a soldier has to carry the better,” he said. Glover, who has worked with MIT and Atlantic University engineers and has a contract with the Air Force, sees a day when charging is essentially automatic. The source of the power could be from a solar charger carried by a soldier on the battle field rather than from the grid or the for ward base generator. Glover believes his work will keep U.S. troops discreetly in touch wherever, whenever. He is working on beams and omnidirectional area char gers.The big marquee application for wireless charging is in transportation. Here, most obviously, inductive charging has applica tions in public transport. The charger con sists of an electromagnetic field radiating from a plate to a receiver under the vehicle. When the vehicle is positioned over the plate, charging takes place. This is known as a static system. Mobile inductive charging, known as dynamic charging, where a moving vehicle can pick up a charge from the roadway, has been promoted overseas. But there is research money in the federal budget for inductive charging development in the United States. The big advantage of static charging is that vehicles can be lighter and, therefore, cheaper. Taxis, trolleys, light rail and buses could have smaller, lighter batteries as they will be charged regularly at predictable places, like traffic lights. South Korea has been developing a charging system for buses where they get a charge every time they stop at a bus stop. With abundant wind and hydro, Norway is headed for a carbon-free economy. By law, all new cars must be electric by 2025; accordingly, Norway is working to install inductive charging plates for taxis at their stands. A taxi driver will pull into a stand — still common in Europe — and while waiting for the next fare, the car will charge. If the taxi is on the stand long enough, it gets fully charged. Otherwise, it just gets a boost. The advantages of inductive charging are multiple. First, batteries can be smaller and cheaper, and the vehicle lighter. For utili ties, the load is spread over the day, coincid ing with the abundance of solar generation. The ultimate dynamic inductive dream is that cars will refuel as they speed down the highway. Italy has an experimental pro gram installing charging coils in tarmac. Sweden is relatively far along with a similar experiment, and the United Kingdom is fundingNikolaresearch.Tesla’sdream is turning into real ity.

Kansas abortion vote Kansas, a solidly Republican state, has voted overwhelmingly in a referendum for abortion rights. The media and the Democrats includ ing Bidden are taking exactly the wrong message from this. The majority support abortion rights so it is a good issue for Democrats.Abortion is a great issue for Republi cans because many people have switched from the Democratic Party to the Repub lican Party because they oppose abortion and very few switched the other way. There are millions of right-to-life sin gle-issue voters, and few if any abortion rights single-issue voters. The Kansas abortion rights victory illustrates the way to get around those single-issue voters. Put the issue up for a direct vote of the people. If abortion and the other sexual revo lution issues were put directly to the people then the democrats could simply be the party of ecology and economic equality.IftheDemocrats did this, the religious vote that supported the liberals from the rise of the anti-slavery movement in the 1830s to the rise of the abortion move ment and the sexual revolution in the late 1960s would again be a liberal vote. This would result in a massive shift to the left in American politics. To better understand how voting for politicians works, imagine a new type of direct democracy. If ten issues are on the ballot you get ten votes, but you can put all ten votes on a single issue. An ada mant minority can easily beat a majority, by putting all their votes on one issue. Voting for a politician works like this, what matters on election day is not what the majority wants but what issues will make a voter switch from one candidate to Itanother.isalso important to remember that the chance of casting the deciding vote in an election is generally very close to zero. This is why religion that is often so weak in the marketplace is so powerful in the votingManybooth.religious leaders threaten eter nal punishment for those who vote for abortion but very few threaten eternal punishment for voting against abortion. Richard Bruce Davis Wildhorse ag buffer The agricultural buffer around the Wildhorse golf course is a well traveled 3-mile loop shared by nature lovers, run ners, and walkers. We are fortunate to have such lovely open space. I so enjoy getting out with the birds and bunnies early on a summer day. The east leg of the loop has big pieces of asphalt that were placed to help create the path. (Fortunately, it seems to be just the east leg.) The asphalt makes for an uneven walking path that can be danger ous to walkers and runners alike. I’ve seen people stumble and I’ve tripped myself on that stretch. I’d like to suggest an improvement that would make the area safer. I think the asphalt was probably repurposed from a road somewhere, but it needs attention. It should be replaced by ground-up bark or another organic material, which would allow for a safer walking path. While it is a big job, I wonder if it is something that Eagle Scouts might con sider endeavoring? Judy McDonald Davis

California, the nation’s wealthiest state, also has the nation’s most severe homelessness crisis. The most recent official count of Californians lacking permanent shelter is 161,000 — more than a quarter of the nation’s homeless population — but it’s widely assumed that the real number is much higher.Asthe crisis has worsened, federal, state and local gov ernment officials have com mitted tens of billions of dollars to alleviating its effects. The recently enacted 2022-23 state budget alone would spend $10.2 billion over two However,years.the heavy spend ing has so far had little noticeable impact. The money has been spent on a plethora of ideas to get homeless people off the street and deal with their underly ing issues, but there has been little coordination, much less anything like a comprehen sive plan, as a 2021 report from the state auditor’s office pointed out. “With more than 151,000 Californians who experienced homelessness in 2019, the state has the largest homeless population in the nation, but its approach to addressing homelessness is disjointed,” the sharply worded report said. “At least nine state agen cies administer and oversee 41 different programs that provide funding to mitigate homelessness, yet no single entity oversees the state’s efforts or is responsible for developing a statewide stra tegicTheplan.”lack of intergovern mental cooperation and coor dination has many root causes, and one of them is the difference between cities and counties. Overwhelmingly, the visible effects of home lessness — such as squalid sidewalk encampments — are concentrated in cities, particularly the most popu lous ones, but county govern ments are responsible for administering social services. A case in point is the squabbling now underway in Sacramento over how to deal with its homelessness crisis, centered on downtown streets surrounding the state Capitol.Darrell Steinberg, a former president pro tem of the state Senate, was elected Sacramento’s mayor on a promise to deal with homelessness, but after several years of wheelspinning, was con fronted with a ballot measure proposed by local business interests that would compel the city to act.It would have required the city to authorize emergency shelter space for 75% of Sac ramento’s unsheltered people within 60 days of voter pas sage. City officials hurriedly drafted a softer alternative, requiring shelter for 60% of homeless residents and 20% of them within 90 days of voter approval. Sponsors of the original measure agreed to put it on the shelf. Last week, however, the city council more or less reneged on the deal. Just days before the deadline for placing measures on the November ballot, the city council made a major amendment that would block implementation unless county officials agreed to pro vide mental health and other services at the proposed shel terCitysites.officials had hoped that the county would emu late their measure with one of their own, but county officials balked and, instead, drafted a tough ordinance to ban homeless camps in the Amer ican River Parkway, which runs through the city. Such a law, city officials fear, could push more homeless people onto city streets. The city’s amendment angered proponents of the original ballot measure, who said it unilaterally undid their agreement with the city. Jeffrey Dorso, senior vice president for the Sacramento Kings, whose downtown arena is ringed with homeless camps, told council mem bers, “I don’t know if any other ballot proponent ever going forward in the future will be ever wiling to negoti ate on a ballot initiative.”

— UC Davis be the new drought-tolerant California crop?
The Woolfs would like their gift to be used to answer early research ques tions about growing sites, plant attributes and possi ble funding agencies.
By Emily C. DoolEy Special to The Enterprise Agriculture in California faces an uncertain future as drought, wildfires and other climate extremes become more common place in the West. But a fledgling industry focused on growing and distilling agave plants, which are used to produce tequila and mezcal in Mexico, could be California’s answer to fal lowed fields and a lack of water.Earlier this year a group of growers, distillers and retailers formed the Cali fornia Agave Council to foster collaboration and offer a chance to share knowledge among mem bers who previously had no formalNow,network.UCDavis has estab lished the Stuart & Lisa Woolf Fund for Agave Research to focus on out reach and research into the plants and their viability as a low-water crop in the state. “The rainfall patterns and growing conditions in California are different from those where tequila is made,” said Ron Run nebaum, an assistant pro fessor of viticulture and enology. “It is exciting to begin to harness the capa bilities at UCD to deter mine which agave varieties can be grown commercially in California and what fla vors can be captured by distillation to make unique California agave spirits.”
About 40 growers and distillers gathered for a symposium in May to talk about the crop, from eco nomics and logistics to site planning and processes. It ended with a tasting and sensory analysis of Califor niaUCDproducts.hosted the event to bring people together and introduce them to what the university could offer in research, training and out reach, Runnebaum said. “I think there’s a lot of promise in this potentially being a drought-tolerant crop in California,” he added. “UC Davis can help organize and research.”
Low water needs Mezcal can be made from any agave variety in Mexico while tequila, Run nebaum said, comes solely from the blue agave plant grown within the geo graphically defined region of “Tequila.” In California, blue agave plants can weigh 110 pounds or more, and it takes about 11 pounds of agave to produce one bottle of tequila, according to a UCD article published last year. The plants in Mexico weigh 50 to 60 pounds on average, Woolf said. Agave plants require minimal watering, can serve as firebreaks from wildfires and offer a chance for farmers to plant crops on land that would other wise have to be fallowed, or abandoned because of a lack of water. It takes roughly six to eight years for the plants to mature. “If we enter a severe drought, this is a crop I think we can avoid water ing totally,” Woolf said. Craig Reynolds, the Cali fornia Agave Council founding director who has about 500 plants growing, says the industry is in “an embryo stage” and organiz ing can help the crop expand.
The fund was created with a $100,000 seed gift from Stuart and Lisa Woolf, who are Central Val ley farmers and have a test plot of about 900 agave plants on 1.5 acres. They hope this gift will encour age others to contribute. The gift is focused pri marily on optimizing pro duction in California relative to Mexico, where labor costs are lower, and the farmers rely on rain rather than irrigation for water. Stuart Woolf believes California produc ers could grow larger plants with higher sugar content. “I really believe we could be very competitive with Mexico,” he said. The research also offers a chance to better understand the impact of location on the growth of the plant, which can be a source of fiber and alternative sweet ener as well as the distilled spirits it can produce. “As a drought-tolerant plant, agave holds great potential in water-stressed California,” Woolf said.

His commitment to diversity and his focus on ground breaking research align with the University’s val ues, and they will strengthen our faculty research, expand our stu dent experience and take our prestigious program to even greater heights.” Macintosh’s research centers on the study of extrasolar planets, in par ticular, examining such planets through direct imaging and adaptive optics. Among his many accomplishments, he coled the team that pro duced the first images of a system of exoplanets. He led the international col laboration that produced the Gemini Planet Imager, deployed to the Gemini South Telescope, which led to the identifi cation of new exoplanets and advanced the study of planet formation. In addi tion, he directed a science investigation team for the coronagraph instrument on NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman mission. He has served on multiple National Academy of Sci ences committees on astrophysics strategy, including the Astro2020 Decadal Survey. “UC Observatories is one of the crown jewels of the University of Califor nia, and I am incredibly excited to have the privi lege to lead this extraor dinary them.”doneastronomerstoolssupportsaid.program,”multicampusMacintosh“Thetelescopeswearepowerfulfordiscovery,andatUChaveamazingthingswith Jeremiah Greene of Woodland was named to the dean’s list for the spring semester at Uni versity of Maryland Global Campus.

I remembered that CVS’ phar macy was opened until 9 p.m. A pharmacist would know what to do, right? So I called the East Davis CVS to get some profes sional advice. The very kind pharmacist took the time to talk to me over the phone, finding out how much Prozac I took (20 to 40 mg) and what else I’d taken that day (allergy pill and heartburn pill). He also was very kind for not making fun of me, at least not when I could hear him. He told me no need to vomit; I’d be fine but probably have a hard time sleeping that night (not really). Coincidentally, I had a check-up with my per sonal doctor the next day, and she confirmed the pharmacist’s assessment. Crisis averted! I hate to admit that the idea of calling the pharmacist came to me quite quickly because I’ve had to do it before when I acci dentally swallowed the wrong pills. Seems like you would only make this mistake once in your life — at least life before you’re an octogenarian — but I’d mis taken heavy-duty pain pills for vitamins right after having my first baby. The opposite side effect was true that time: I would sleep like a baby! (I did.)
Pharmacists are pretty awe some. They really know some important stuff, and I like using them as a resource. In fact, on a cruise a couple of summers ago, I’d let a clogged head turn into a sinus and ear infection. I needed to see the ship’s doctor shortly after board ing. Note: This is a great way to miss the “muster station” emer gency drill where you stand around with all your fellow pas sengers, strangled by your life jackets.Anyway, when the doctor handed me a tiny, brown enve lope with some antibiotics — the ship buys them in Mexico, so FDA-approval be damned — I wanted to rush to a pharmacist and ask if the pills had the proper appearance. So, yeah, pharmacists. I’m not sure there’s an obvious lesson in this tale. (Um, don’t take your dog’s pills?) I guess the basic message is to remind people that pharmacists are a great source of information that many people don’t utilize. I tend to be a highutilizer, but personally, it’s been a better choice than the emer gency room. — Tanya Perez lives in Davis with her family. Her column is published every other Sunday.

Editor’s note: Tanya Perez is taking the day off. This column originally ran in September 2010. As I’ve said — some might say bragged — in this space before, I took this past summer off from my job at The Enterprise. It was a great move for me in many ways, but there was one major drawback: I forgot how to use my brain. Adding to this problem was the fact that the project I imme diately faced upon my return to work was the huge “Welcome to Davis” issues. Because the most complicated thought I’d formed in previous 10 weeks revolved around pizza- or parmesan-fla vored Gold Fish crackers, this was a challenge. So, it’s no wonder that after a 7 a.m.-to-8 p.m. shift working on “Welcome” I found myself making this phone call: “Um, hello. Should I try to make myself vomit since I just swal lowed my dog’s pills?” SeemsSigh. like a little back-story is in order. I got home from work a couple of weeks ago in a very bedraggled state. I flopped down on the couch to chat with my husband about his and the kids’ day, and then I remembered Boomer, our idiot dog — his notable fears include jingling coins and my husband’s throatclearing — who is on Prozac for hisI’manxiety.usually the pill-pusher each morning, but I’d forgotten when I’d left for work that day. Did my husband happen to give Boomer his meds? Nope. So I wandered into the kitchen to get his pills. On the way, I thought to myself, should I give him one or two? He usually takes two, but since I want to get him back on schedule tomorrow morning, maybe I’ll only give himWhileone.thinking about this, I stopped at the refrigerator to get some water for myself. Then I walked over to Boomer’s pill bot tle, poured one or two of his pills into my hand, popped them into my mouth, and gulped down some water. Simple as that. I meandered back into the liv ing room, then asked my hus band, “What did I go in the kitchen for?” He casually remarked, “To get Boomer his pills.”HOLYSeriously,@(%*!now what? Should I try to throw up? Do I have any ipecac? Would an emergency room nurse advise me by phone, or will I need to go to the E.R. for a Andstomach-pumping?then,inspirationstruck.

By TrAcy FAuver Special to The Enterprise It’s that time of year again. Many children are currently anticipating going back to school or have returned to school. This is a nerve-wracking time for any child, and can be especially nerve-wrack ing for a foster child. In fact, many foster children may be changing schools and facing new teachers, people and rou tines this year. In our vol unteer trainings, we spend a lot of time looking at life through the lens of a fos ter child … and many of our volunteers learn how triggering and scary that can be through these exer cises. Being able to recog nize this is called being “trauma informedBecominginformed.”traumaalsohelps our volunteers to understand their CASA children bet ter, as all foster children have experienced some degree of trauma. For example, when a child is triggered by a situ ation that reminds them of a past trauma, they may become completely stoic and withdrawn as a defense mechanism. This is often mistaken for mis behavior, daydreaming, or even ADHD, especially in schoolKnowledgesettings.is power, and we hope that by shar ing this with you, you can help spread the word. Most educators go through extensive training to become trauma informed. Can you imagine, though, what it would be like if we all educated ourselves about the effects of trauma on a child? Can you imag ine how much more peace ful a traumatized child would feel if instead of repeatedly being called out for not paying attention or for daydreaming, they were instead asked, “Are you okay?” A favorite resource for becoming trauma informed is feltarestrongfamiliesyolo.org.locallyandPACEsConnection.comwww.tofindwaystoengageyoucangotoOurCASAvolunteersordinarypeoplewhothecallingtohelpa child who needed them. They applied, and we helped them through the rest…. from becoming trauma informed to explaining the court process. Our next training starts Sept. 19 and applications are due Sept. 2. More information can be found at the volunteer section of our website, at yolocasa.org or you can email info@yolocasa.org to set up an information session. Thank you for taking the time to read and explore what it means to be trauma informed. Here’s to a compassionate and safe school year, where we lift each other up in moments of daydream of misbehavior. It might make all the dif ference to a child who is breaking inside. — Tracy Fauver, LCSW, is the executive director of Yolo County CASA.

Longtime Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver was known for being tough on umpires, but he often rode his own players as well. Ross Grimsley, an Orioles lefthander, was getting hit hard one night, so Weaver made a mound visit. He left Grimsley in the game, but told him, “If you know how to cheat, I suggest you begin doing so right now.” n Speaking of umpires, Triple-A crews are pretty good. Like players, they want to reach the big-league level, too. Their paths to the top, however, are often impeded or blocked by the large number of Major League Baseball umpires with 20 or more years of service.It’sa tough go for minor league umps. At Triple-A, teams play each other from Tuesday through Sunday. For players, managers and coaches, it’s usually a week at home, then a week on the road.There are no “home” games for the umpires. They might work a week in Sacramento, travel on Monday, supposedly an ‘off day’ and find themselves in Rochester the next Triple-Aweek.umpires are 3-man crews. In many respects, umpiring at this level is as hard as being in the majors. Triple-A pitching is, charitably, inconsistent, so the home plate ump is calling pitches here, there and everywhere. Major league hurlers are generally “around the plate” much more. n Going into Friday’s games, the San Francisco Giants had won just six of 20 games since the All-Star break. n This offseason, the Giants can and should make a run at New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge, who is a free agent come October.He’salso a California native, from Linden, a small community in the San Joaquin Valley. Much as signing Judge would improve the Giants right immensely, it is hard to see Judge leaving New York and all the residual, off-field benefits the Yankees have in the Big Apple.F Worth keeping in mind: according to Forbes and Statista, the Yankees are the second most valuable sports franchise in the world at $6 billion. Topped only by the Dallas Cowboys at $6.5 billion. So, paying Judge what he and his agents are likely to want - $500 million? - won’t be a problem for the Pinstripers. n Recommended reading: The Cartel, by Don Winslow. It’s a novel about the Mexican drug cartels but Winslow’s writing style gives the reader a non-fiction feel. It’ll take a while — 615 pages — to get through but is worth the time. n Name to remember: St. Louis Cardinals infield farmhand Chandler Redmond, who plays for the Double-A Springfield Cardinals in the Texas League. Redmond did something no major leaguer has ever done on Aug. 10. That would be the ‘home run cycle.’ Redmond hit a grand slam, 2-run homer, solo shot and 3-run homer in the course of a 21-4 win in Amarillo, Texas over the home team Sod Poodles. The Cardinals set single-game franchise records for runs, 21; hits, 21; and home runs, 8. Redmond was a 32nd-round draft choice in 2019. “Walking up for that last at-bat and seeing two guys on, I’m thinking, ‘Everything is lining up,” he told MLB.com. “Stay calm, but if you get a pitch to hammer, you better not miss it.” He got it and he didn’t. n Houston Astros manager and Sacramento-based winemaker Dusty Baker is back in the Astros dugout after missing five games late last week and this following a positive COVID-19 test. Baker isolated in his Cleveland hotel room before flying back to Houston. Said Baker of his enforced time off, “I listened to music all day, watched TV, made phone calls and got some things done.”Besides watching the Astros on TV, Baker also found a Bob Marley documentary on Netflix. Baker said he saw the legendary Marley perform twice, once in Jamaica.
