“This regulation is one of the most important efforts we have ever carried out to clean the air,” said Air Resources Board Chair Liane Randolph. “Our previous regulations to make cars cleaner made improvements, but those improvements were incremen tal. This regulation will essen tially end vehicle emissions altogether.”Automakers will have to gradually electrify their fleet of new vehicles, beginning with 35% of 2026 models sold, increasing to 68% in 2030 and 100% for 2035 models. As of this year, about 16% of all new car sales in California are zeroemission vehicles, twice the share in 2020. The millions of existing gaspowered cars already on the roads and used car sales are unaffected by the mandate, which only sets a zero-emission standard for new models. The switch to zero-emission vehicles marks a historic prece dent that would ripple across

By CaLeB HampToN Enterprise staff writer UC Davis’ student health center has formed a new public health unit to work on patient care, prevention efforts and campus response to infec tious diseases and other public health issues, UC Davis announced this week in a news release. The unit, which grew out of initia tives prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, is part of Student Health and Counseling Services, the department that manages UC Davis’ Student Health and Wellness Center.SHCS began building out the pub lic health unit last fall, the release said. It now includes an infection control physician, a public health coordinator and a public health nurse. The unit will also have access to two nurses who already work at the SHWC and will assist the public health unit when needed. UC Davis’ Health Education and Promotion department, a longrunning program within SHCS, will be folded into the public health unit.
By Jim SmiTH Special to The Enterprise In a first, Woodland Community College hosted the fifth Bina tional Week of Education — or Semana Binacional de Educaion — this week and solidified a collabora tion to provide bilingual teaching.Nearly 100 people attended the Monday afternoon event, includ ing representatives from the Mexican Consulate, Mexican foreign affairs office, along with educa tors from throughout Yolo County, and elected officials from its various school districts and city councils.Previous gatherings have been held in Phila delphia, Calexico and other locations across the United States and Mex ico.Woodland Community College President Art Pimentel, who served as host of the event, said the recognition was important due to the school’s increas ing student enrollment. He noted that of the approximately 7,000 stu dents enrolled this year about half are of Latino descent, making it critical that “Latino-based” pro grams be provided.
New gasoline-powered cars will be banned in California beginning with 2035 models under a new groundbreaking regulation unani mously approved Thursday to force car owners to switch to zero-emission vehicles. In its biggest move yet to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and fight climate change, the new rule approved by the state Air Resources Board culminates a decades-long effort to trans form the auto and power indus tries and change the cars people drive — the state’s leading source of air pollution.
The regulation is the first in the world to end the sale of tra ditional gas-powered vehicles and ramp up sales of cars pow ered by electricity. A small num ber of other states and nations have set only voluntary targets. The proposal was first unveiled in April. In response to several board members’ concerns, the staff made minor revisions Thursday to address issues related to electric car battery durability and added provisions to enhance assistance for lowincome residents.

SACRAMENTO — Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed legislation from state Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, that will help provide food aid to low-income college stu dents, ensuring the under served population receives adequate nutrition to fulfill their educational goals. “Many college students have been struggling to make ends meet and put food on the table,” Sen. Dodd said. “That’s why I appreciate the governor signing my bill, which addresses chronic hunger, helping more Californians achieve their educational and career goals. This is a big step toward ending food insecurity and helping more people get a college education.”Nearlyone in three Cali fornia college students faces food and housing insecurity, according to a survey by the California Student Aid Commission. Students of color are more likely than others to report needs in both areas, the surveySenatesaid.Bill 20 would require the Student Aid Commission to proactively notify students of their eli gibility for Cal Fresh bene fits. Many low-income students are not aware that they may qualify for food assistance through Cal Fresh. About 100,000 stu dents would benefit from the proposal. It is a followup to SB 173, written in 2019 by Sen. Dodd, which streamlined the Cal Fresh application process for col lege students enrolled in work-study. That bill was signed into law by Gov.

I was chatting in Nugget with a newcomer to town the other day and he told me he didn't realize before he moved here just how hot Davis summers might be. I figured he must be a Bay Area transplant, but when I inquired he said he and his family had moved here from Crescent City, which is just about the coldest place in North America in July and August.EvenFairbanks is warmer than Crescent City during the summer. Still, Crescent City does have a bay, so I guess you could say my newfound friend was indeed a Bay Area transplant after all. He was stunned when I told him that this was not a particu larly scorching summer by Davis standards. Yes, it's been warm and we have had a few days in triple digits, but no 108 or 110 or even higher, which seems to happen at least once every summer before the sun gives up for good. He expressed relief that Sep tember was fast approaching until I told him that our cooling in fall is very slow and sometimes takes a while to fully take hold. I also noted that 100-degree days can most certainly happen in September and even occasionally in IOctober.remember covering an AggieSac State afternoon football game in Hughes Stadium the first Sat urday in October one year when the mercury hit 104. And who can forget the day they opened UC Davis Health Stadium 15 or so years ago for a game against cold-weather Western Washington the first Saturday in September and things got so hot they turned the Bruce Edwards Room in the lower level of the press box into a hospital ward for all the fans who had wilted in the noon-day sun. So how long does our summer heat last, he asked, while dialing up the real estate folks in Crescent City to see if he could buy back his old home with a view of the ocean and a redwood forest in the backyard. Well, the all-time latest date for a 100-degree day in this area is Oct. 10. Yep, just three weeks beforeThenHalloween.again,last year in late October we had five inches of rain in a single day, so rest assured that once November comes, heat will not be an Fortunately,issue.there are all sorts of public-minded organizations that take the heat seriously and are doing their level best to help new comers and natives alike deal with it. I remember one year receiving online "Tips on Staying Cool" from one such organization that included staying hydrated and "visiting elderly neighbors." Now, visiting elderly neighbors is certainly a nice thing to do, but I'm not sure how it helps keep you cool unless their air conditioner is set at 68 and yours is broken. This summer our friends at PG&E sent out a "Staying Cool and Safe" advisory warning that weather "can get extremely hot and quickly go from fun to dan gerous."Which is why God put a ther mometer in our body — right under the left armpit — to tell our brain when we're getting hot. But in Davis, at least, the heat does not come on with any speed at all. Even on 100-degree days, it starts out at a near-chilly 60 degrees or so and rises gently at five or six degrees an hour until reaching the 100-degree mark in mid-afternoon. It then hovers there for several hours before heading back down. You're certainly welcome here, but if you can't take the heat, I can give you directions to Crescent City. — Reach Bob Dunning bdunning@davisenterprise.net.at

The models found that novel viruses from the coronavirus family are expected to have a larger number of species as hosts. This is consistent with known viruses, indicating this family of viruses should be most highly prioritized for surveillance.
Environmental change
In the past decade, scientists have described hundreds of novel viruses with the potential to pass between wildlife and humans. But how can they know which are riskiest for spillover and therefore which to pri oritize for further surveillance in people?Scientists from UC Davis created network-based models to prioritize novel and known viruses for their risk of zoonotic transmission, which is when infectious diseases pass between animals and humans. Their study, published in the jour nal Communications Biology, pro vides further evidence that coronaviruses are riskiest for spill over and should continue to be pri oritized for enhanced surveillance andTheresearch.machine learning models were designed by the EpiCenter for Disease Dynamics at the UC Davis One Health Institute in the School of Veterinary Medicine.

In additional to coronaviruses, the model also ranked several para myxoviruses as high priorities for future work. Diseases associated with this family of viruses include measles, mumps and respiratory tract“Characterizinginfections. hundreds of viruses takes a lot of time and requires prioritization,” Pandit said. “Our network-based approach helps identify the early signals in the eco logical and evolutionary trajectories of these viruses. It can also help illu minate missing links between viruses and their hosts.”
The study was supported with funding from the Unites States Agency for International Develop ment and the National Institutes of Health.
The model uses a data-driven, virus-host network to quantify the likelihood of humans as hosts for more than 500 viruses newly discov ered between 2009 and 2019. This stemmed from wildlife surveillance research conducted in Africa, Asia and Latin America by a consortium of Host-pathogeninvestigators. networks provide insight into the ecology of viruses and their hosts, which is critical to understanding the risk such viruses pose to human health. This is espe cially important amid a changing climate and environment. As the landscape changes and species shift and move in response, the risk of viral transmission across species can increase.
In November, Davis and Yolo County voters will have an opportunity to vote for Mike Thompson, (D, CA-5) who repre sented us in the House from 2000 to 2010, after which his district was redrawn for the 2012 election. The new 5th District, based on 2020 census, now includes Yolo County. While we are losing an outstanding legislator in John Garamendi, we are fortunate to welcome Mike Thompson returning to represent us. Mike Thompson is a proven land con servationist and environmental advocate, who received the Phil Burton Award from the Davis organized, California Wil derness Coalition (www.calwild.org) for his work to protect hundreds of thou sands of wilderness acres and wild river segments on the North Coast. He has been a leader in the establish ment and now expansion of the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument to protect sacred Native American Lands. He has been in Congress since 1998 and occupies an influential position as chair of House Ways and Means Select Reve nue Measures Subcommittee. He was author of the GREEN Act from that committee, which passed the House in 2021 and is now a substantial part of the Inflation Control Act that just became law. Thompson’s enormous con tribution to the act includes key provi sions to provide tax credits for renewable energy sources, energy efficient homes, and electric vehicles. These provisions would reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 40% of 2005 levels by 2030. Davis and Yolo County will be fortu nate to have an experienced, capable and influential congressional leader like Mike Thompson. I urge everyone to support and vote for Mike Thompson for Con gress on Nov. 8. Don Morrill Davis
Californians get it. The climate crisis is a kitchen-table issue in every part of the state, both because of the high costs of fossil-fuel dependence and the onslaught of extreme weather catastrophes we face year after year. That’s why 84% of California Democrats and more than half of voters overall want imme diate action on climate from their elected offi cials — not more dithering and delays. Time is short to get this done before the Legislature goes home at the end of the month — there’s not a moment, or a dollar, to waste.

Common ground
As we head into September, it seems like the presiden tial campaign is seriously gettingOops!underway.Lookslike that state ment is two years early. Or is it? Gov. Gavin Newsom, who won 56 percent of the June primary vote, still needs one more ratification at the polls, where he won election in 2018 and easily beat back a recall almost exactly one year ago. But his Republican oppo nent this fall took just under 18 percent of the primary vote, so Newsom does not exactly have a fight on his hands. That’s why he was able to head out of state for a week over the July 4 holi day and take other family vaca tions in places like Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and some Cen tral American points. That’s also why he was able to spend well over $100,000 in campaign funds donated to his gubernatorial fund on tele vision commercials and news paper ads in Florida and Texas, essentially bagging on those states’ GOP governors, Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott, for things like banning some books from public schools, making it hard for elementary school teachers to discuss gender roles and doing what they can to make abor tions as illegal as possible.

“Freedom,” said Newsom, hair slicked back as usual and wearing an open-necked West ern-style shirt as he faced the TV camera in his spots, “it’s under attack in your state. Republican leaders, they’re ban ning books, making it harder to vote, restricting speech in class rooms, even criminalizing women and doctors. I urge all of you…to join the fight. Or join us in California, where we still believe in freedom — freedom of speech, freedom to choose, freedom from hate and the free dom to love.” This was Newsom using his campaign war chest, which topped $23 million at mid summer, with no need to spend much at home, in a campaign to become the de facto leader of the national Democratic Party. Sure, he drew derision from Republicans, including DeSantis, who correctly took Newsom’s ad as an attack on him. The Florida governor, who has targeted California’s Walt Disney Co., whose Dis ney World resort outside Orlando is Florida’s largest employer with more than 62,000 workers, for extra taxes ever since the firm opposed his restrictions on talking to schoolchildren aboutDeSantisgays. lashed back at Newsom, blasting “soulcrushing COVID lock downs that lasted years in California” and calling California “the most overregulated, overbearing, overtaxed state in the OfUnion.”course, the COVID lock downs he excoriated spared at least 40,000 California lives during the first two years of the pandemic, compared to what the death toll here would have been if Newsom had used a “keep everything open” approach like Florida’s.

With the passage of long-overdue federal climate legislation, Califor nia is poised to supercharge its efforts on climate action. California has long led this country, and the world, in advancing clean-energy legislation. Now it’s time to up ourWithgame.fewer than two weeks left in the legis lative session, California’s leaders must act quickly to update our state’s climate policy framework.California’s 2030 and 2050 pollutionreduction targets of 40% and 80%, respec tively, are inadequate to match what science now tells us is both necessary and possible for our state to achieve. This is especially true now that the Inflation Reduction Act puts the entire United States on course to achieve nearly the same level of reductions. It’s time for us to accelerate our targets to 55% by 2030 and 90% by 2045. Our goal of achieving 100% clean electric ity by 2045, visionary and audacious just a few years ago, now appears almost quaint in its inadequacy. Let’s get to at least 90% by 2035 or sooner. And California still does not have a legally binding date to achieve carbon neutrality. Let’s get it done now. Clean-energy production, however, is growing faster than ever. Our state already has produced, for a brief time this spring, more than 100% of its electricity demand with renewable resources. It is well past time to protect California communities from the harmful effects of oil production by ensuring that no oil drilling occurs within 3,200 feet of places where chil dren, families and elderly Californians are at risk from health and safety harms. To protect our future, we need stringent rules to ensure the safety of any carbon capture and storage operations that may come online. Gov. Gavin Newsom recently called on the Legislature to address some of this unfinished business in California’s climate policy frame work. The Legislature still is working on its response, but in the meantime, it is critical for Californians to join in the call to our legis lators to act quickly and to go big. To make it easier for people across the state to speak out, NextGen California, an organi zation I founded, has created a portal at GoBigOnClimate.com where Californians can make their voices heard. As the Legisla ture moves forward, that site will stay up to date with new ways to connect with lawmak ers on climate concerns through the final hours of the legislative session, which ends at midnight Aug. 31. Upping our game on climate in California is vital to stem the tide of carbon pollution and also safeguard Californians experiencing real economic pain. Our elected officials already have taken a major step forward by committing a historic $54 billion in the state budget to efforts to accelerate the growth of clean energy and to protect our state from extreme heat, drought, air pollution and other climate effects. Pro portionate to California’s size, the per-year investment in this budget is nearly three times what the federal government has put forward in the Inflation Reduction Act. Thanks to rapid advances in technology, renewable energy is now the world’s most affordable energy source. By supercharging our climate efforts in tan dem with the federal climate legislation and California’s climate budget, we can put clean energy to work fighting inflation, lowering household energy costs and creating good jobs.
To our considerable surprise, my wife and I, both college professors, found our selves largely agreeing with the authors of the New York Times guest essay from Aug. 15, “The art of choosing what to do with your life.” Our surprise related to the fact that the essay’s authors are Senior Fellows at the American Enterprise Institute, a politically right-wing think tank, which usually takes positions vigorously opposed by those with liberal convictions. In this divisive age, it was reassuringly hopeful to recognize that there continues to be firm middle ground upon which both sides could possibly meet and productively discuss fundamental problems, however much the fraught political discourse of the day has increasingly separated liberals and conservatives into opposing, isolated camps.Aswe leave Davis to drop our son off to begin college, we are heartened by the pos sibility that he might be exposed to real conversations expressing differing points of view, including those which would be considered politically incorrect in much of academia, and not just positions with which he might reflexively agree. We want him to hear and weigh all rea sonable arguments and positions, so that he truly can be empowered to make the informed choices with which he will shape his future.

Newsom’s ad was actually a continuation of his effort last spring to fire up national Democrats, whom he portrayed as lethargic after the early release of a draft of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to end federal abortion rights. Newsom pushed hard for a state constitutional amend ment guaranteeing abortion rights in California, on the ballot this fall as Proposition 1, and lambasted his own party almost as strongly as he criti cized Republicans for rubberstamping the three Donald Trump high court appointees behind that ruling.
Affordability, durability For many families, electric cars are an attractive option, but bar riers keep them out of reach. New electric cars range in price from $25,000 to $180,000. Price markups at dealerships due to car shortages and high demand have also inflated the cost of some elec tric cars by more than $10,000, sometimes as high as $15,000. Air board officials project that the cost of an electric car will be equal to a gas car’s price as early as 2030 as supplies surge to meet theDespitemandate.the higher upfront cost, the air board’s analysis proj ects that drivers will end up sav ing much more in maintenance and operation expenses. Charg ing at home costs about half as much as gas for the same number of miles driven. Drivers in Cali fornia already pay some of the highest gas prices in the country. At Thursday’s hearing, air board members, environmental justice advocates and members of the public echoed concerns they raised during a June hearing about the proposal — challenges with high vehicle costs, lack of charging infrastructure and con sumer reluctance. The state’s subsidy programs, designed to help low and middleincome residents who purchase electric cars, have repeatedly suf fered from inconsistent and inad equate funding. Meanwhile, auto groups said the industry is already dealing with global sup ply chain disruptions, battery shortages, and other constraints.
The California Air Resources Board meets Thursday to vote on its historic zero-emission vehicle mandate.

Healthier air Air board staff project that the new rule will reduce passenger vehicle emissions by more than 50% by 2040. That results in 395 million fewer metric tons of greenhouse gases — the equiva lent of emissions from burning 915 million barrels of gasoline. The rule is considered essential to reducing smog and soot pollu tion, which violates health stan dards in much of the state, and to meeting California’s goal of car bon neutrality by 2045. Battling California’s severe air pollution for longer than half a century, the air board has long believed in the promise of an elec tric vehicle future, initially imple menting a zero-emission mandate in 1990, requiring that 2% of new car sales between 1998 and 2000 be emissions-free, increasing to 5% in 2001 and 2002. The board reversed its decision six years later after auto makers expressed concerns that the technology and battery lifes pan were not advanced enough to comply.“The mandate has led a very tortured life and it was basically weakened for almost 20 years and then in 2012, we started strengthening it again,” board member Sperling said. “So this represents an embrace of the original vision. It’s important for California, it’s important for the U.S. and it’s important for the world.”State officials said Newsom’s $10 billion investment in vehicle incentives, charging infrastruc ture and public outreach over the next six years will be a critical tool to ramping up sales and improv ing access and affordability. The proposal comes just a couple of weeks after Congress passed a sweeping climate bill, which pours billions into clean energy projects and renewables.
Critics say the state needs more charging stations as electric car sales surge. California has about 80,000 stations in public places, falling short of the nearly 1.2 mil lion public chargers needed by 2030 to meet the demand of the 7.5 million passenger electric cars anticipated to be on California roads.Another question remains: Will there be enough electricity? Experts say California needs a more reliable power grid, sourced from climate-friendly renewables like solar and wind. California’s electricity con sumption is expected to surge by as much as 68% by 2045. But the power grid — marred by outages and increasingly extreme weather — needs massive investments to attain the clean-energy future outlined in California’s five-year climate roadmap, called a scoping plan.Newsom in recent months has been pushing the idea of keeping the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant open, introducing draft legisla tion earlier this month that would continue operations past its scheduled 2025 closure date. It’s part of a wider effort to maintain the reliability of the state’s increasingly strained power grid and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels as California makes progress on transitioning to renewables. But the contentious proposal, which would give owner Pacific Gas & Electric $1.4 billion, has widespread opposition. A new draft bill is being circulated within the Legislature and instead proposes using that money for renewable infrastruc ture.
Air board staff member Anna Wong, who is part of the agency’s sustainable transportation and communities division, acknowl edged that the plan has a “strin gent but achievable path.” Many of the changes they proposed in the revised policy include provi sions to help manufacturers cut costs for consumers, she said. Under the mandate, electric cars must have a range of at least 150 miles on a single charge. Batteries will need to be more durable and carry a manufacturer’s warranty. At least 80% of the original range must be maintained over 10 years, starting in 2030, a year earlier than initially proposed. To ease the strain on automak ers, the staff reduced the range requirement to 75% for the first eight years that a new car is on the road, extending it by an addi tional three Automakersyears.will be allowed to use a credit system that allows them to meet a lower percentage of sales if they offer cheaper cars at dealerships and participate in state subsidy programs. To ensure enforcement, state officials could penalize manufac turers that don’t meet their yearly percentages with hefty fines of $20,000 for every car they fail to produce in a given year, according to air board staff. Automakers that fail to meet those require ments would need to get credits from another manufacturer that already met their targets. Air board staff also assured the public that they could amend the regula tion at any point to address lin gering equity and compliance issues. Can the grid cope?

John Bozzella, president and CEO of the Alliance for Automo tive Innovation, a trade group representing automakers, said automakers support the transi tion to electric cars, but called the timeline “very aggressive,” adding that it will be “extremely chal lenging” for the industry to adjust in “Whethertime. or not these require ments are realistic or achievable is directly linked to external fac tors like inflation, charging and fuel infrastructure, supply chains, labor, critical mineral availability and pricing and the ongoing semiconductor shortage,” he said. “These are complex, intertwined and global issues well beyond the control of either the California Air Resources Board or the auto industry.”Environmental justice advo cates, who had been calling for a sales goal of at least 75% zeroemission cars by 2030, expressed disappointment at Thursday’s hearing. While the rule is a “step in the right direction,” the board missed an opportunity to include more robust provisions in the policy to make sure low-income people can afford them, accord ing to Roman Partida-Lopez, legal counsel at the Greenlining Institute.“California had an opportunity to set a stronger standard,” he said. “The board came up short by not making this a more stringent rule or one that has environmental justice provisions that are manda tory rather than voluntary.” Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thurs day called it “a groundbreaking, world-leading plan” that “will lead the revolution towards our zeroemission transportation future.”

As Reed researched the condition, he discovered the UC Davis Health Pul monary Rehabilitation Clinic through the Pulmo nary Fibrosis Foundation website.“Throughout my journey I have learned an impor tant lesson — knowledge is power. Having good infor mation empowers you to make informed decisions about your medical care and self-care,” said Reed. “It is important to educate yourself so that you can cre ate the best treatment plan and assemble the best medical team by utilizing the vital resources available to Pulmonaryyou.” rehabilita tion at UC Davis Health is a program accredited by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmo nary Rehabilitation that empowers patients with lung conditions through education, exercise, moti vation and support to help improve their quality of life. The multidisciplinary team of specialists provides a wide range of care includ ing a comprehensive evalu ation, monitored and supervised exercise, educa tion, psychosocial support and nutritional guidance. “I was already doing some pulmonary rehab with another provider, but when I began pulmonary rehab at UC Davis, I found that their program was far superior, especially in dis ease education,” said Reed. “There I learned about the need for pacing and plan ning and to keep moving with regular exercise. I also learned that idiopathic pul monary fibrosis could cre ate a psychological fear of exertion that causes people to be less active, and this inactivity can accelerate disease progression.”

Despite the good fortune of having his cancerous tumor removed, Reed still had a diagnosis of idio pathic pulmonary fibrosis, the most common type of pulmonary fibrosis. The word “idiopathic” means it has no known cause. More than 250,000 Americans are living with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, with more than 50,000 new cases diag nosed annually. It is a dis ease that causes scarring (fibrosis) of the lungs. Scar ring causes stiffness in the lungs and makes it difficult to breathe. Lung damage from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is irreversible and gets worse over time. The estimated mean survival is 2-5 years from the time of diagnosis.“With the knowledge that idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is progressively debilitating and without a cure, each breath felt much more precious, each day more precious. My grati tude for each day I’m granted grew exponen tially,” Reed explained. “I realized that it was impera tive to learn as much as I could about idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis so I could maximize my longev ity and have the best quality of life.”
After a symbolic “ribbon cutting,” rep resenting the ties between Mexico and the United States, presentations were made by six speakers including Luis Gutierrez, a foreign affairs office of Mex ico; Gustavo Padilla, executive vice presi dent of the University of Guadalajara Foundation USA; Dr. Lisceth BrazilCruz, vice president of student services for Woodland Community College; Erik Ramirez, director of the Center for Equity, California State University, Sacra mento; Susan Reyes, legislative coordi nator for the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities; and Miguel Molina, dean of connection and onboarding for Sacramento City College.
up the next day telling me he had good news — the cancer did not move any where else in my body and in fact he couldn’t even find the cancer in my lung,” he said.Reed was perplexed. He wondered how that was possible.“Thesurgeon said he was pretty sure the tumor had been blindly taken out with the biopsy tissue without anyone realizing it,” explained Reed. “It was pretty miraculous.”
He also referenced continued growth this year with the addition of a men’s and women’s soccer program that will draw more students. The audience applauded addition of soccer to the curriculum. A number of guests addressed the audience in English and Spanish, with some like Consul General Liliana Ferrer referring to the importance of education as a whole and of bilingual education specifically.“Education is a powerful tool to make changes in your life,” she told the audi ence and any effort that can provide such changes need to be reinforced. Speaking only in Spanish, California Community Colleges Interim Director Dr. Daisy Gonzales talked about the importance of involving families in mak ing sure their children learned both Eng lish and Spanish and that they get as much advanced education possible. She referred to her own experiences growing up as a foster youth who was among the first in her family to attend college. Abel Guillen, deputy superintendent of public instruction operations and admin istration for the California Department of Education, spoke about the need to make sure students were provided with higher levels of education as well as other ser vices such as mental health counseling and career services. “Today is a day for focusing on what we are doing for our youngsters,” he said. “We already have programs in place and California is making historic investments in education. We have $123 billion (your tax dollars) that are going into education. (That’s) $123 billion, which is larger than the state budgets of every other state in the U.S. except for five. “So, we need to keep on investing in dual immersion programs, so our stu dents can be bilingual and really be citi zens of the world. We need to keep investing in our migration education programs so our students have the sup port that they need and make sure our kids have the computer and technology to get“Theahead.significance of this week is to amplify the message of education so that no matter where you are in life and no matter what your station is that you, too, can achieve,” he concluded. “I can’t think of a better place to talk about education then at a community college because it’s accessible to everybody.”

“This has become my mantra, so much so that I had it tattooed on my left forearm as a constant reminder,” said Reed. “I know that this disease can be unpredictable and cruel, but I remain steadfast in my commitment to do everything that is medically advisable to extend my life and make a difference.”
Last September, Reed organized the first Sacra mento walk for the Pulmo nary Fibrosis Foundation and helped raise $3,000. The money helps the foun dation fund programs that support research, provide essential information and help direct patients to criti cal medical resources. “Few people realize the same number of people die from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis as breast cancer annually. However, 10 times as many people are diagnosed with breast can cer each year,” explained Reed. “Since idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a rare and debilitating disease, it is essential that we get more investment in research to discover a cure.”

This year Reed is partici pating as a team leader in the 2022 Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation Walk in San Francisco on Sept. 17. His goal is to sur pass the $3,000 the Sacra mento team raised last year.“I am proud to lead the way toward working to cre ate a world without pulmo nary fibrosis,” Reed said. “Because of the work of the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foun dation, there is hope for individuals like me living with pulmonary fibrosis and their families.”

She attended San Mateo Community College and received her associate’s degree, then transferred to UC Davis and graduated with a bach elor's degree in home eco nomics in 1964. Linda met Leroy at a col lege dance at UC Davis. Leroy says he chased her until she caught him. When they were courting, Leroy would leave three red roses at the front desk of Linda’s dormitory every week. When asked why three roses he said, “That’s all I could afford.” Upon graduation, Linda worked as the associate director of R&D developing new almond flavors at Califor nia Almond Growers in Sacramento for three years until she had children. Linda was a dedicated life-long learner and an avid reader. She enjoyed reading newspapers daily, loved the Sunday comics, and thoughtfully clipped articles for whomever she thought would benefit or enjoy read ing them.

The Natsoulas Gallery in Davis will host exhibition of Funk Art, including this 1994 untitled work by Roy De Forest, will be open from Sept. 7 to Jan. 7. An opening reception will be from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9.

Some of the artists whose works will be on display include Roy De Forest, Robert Arneson, Peter Saul, Robert Colescott, David Gilhooly, Louise Stanely, Patrick Siler, Jim Albertson, Gladyss Nielsson and Jim Nutt. The Funk Movement is often categorized as a West Coast art style, but this show will bring together artists from California and the other major center of the style — Chicago. This exhibition will highlight the shared philoso phies of different generations of artists, who all imbued their works with unorthodox tradition and self-referential humor.
“Through their artworks,” a news release said, “including painting, sculpture and works on paper, Funk artists consciously under mined expectations. The colorful works all playfully address narra tive themes, some more enigmatic than others.”
■ Dec. 17, 7:30 p.m., Brun nelle Performance Hall.

Funk Art emerged organically in the 1960s in the leading art schools in California as a rebel lious response to the restrictive ness of Bay Area Figurative Art and the nonobjectivity of Abstract Expressionism. While Funk Art has continued to elude a decisive definition, its hallmark is a signifi cant degree of absurdity. Artists famously responded, “when you see it, you know it,”when asked to describe the movement. Those championing the ridicu lousness that is the fundamental doctrine of Funk are known for their collaborations and the impressive followings that they inspired among their students.
■ Feb. 11, 7:30 p.m., Brunelle Performance Hall. Clarinetist Patricia Shands, a longtime associate of the Chamber Music Society of Sacramento and professor in the music department at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, will be featured in the Mozart Clarinet Quintet in A Major (K. 581) and in “Contrasts for Piano, Violin and Clarinet,” written in 1938 by Hungarian com poser Béla Bartók (and incorporating Hungarian and Romanian dance melo dies).Also on the program will be two short pieces for violin and piano by Czech com poser Josef Suk (1874-1935) and the String Quartet No. 1 by Czech composer Leoš Janácek (1854-1928).

Rounding out the program will be the original version of Aaron Copland’s “Appala chian Spring,” as scored for a 13-instrument chamber orchestra to accompany a ballet by choreographer Martha Graham. (Copland later rescored “Appalachian Spring” for full orchestra.)
Concert will repeat on March 19, 4 p.m. in the music building at Sacra mento State. ■ April 15, 7:30 p.m., St. Martin’s Episcopal Church.

‘Three Thousand Years of Longing’: Truly magical
“Tick Tock Belly Clock,” curated by Kantor, runs from Sept. 25 to May 8.
violence Starring: Tilda Swinton, Idris Elba, Aamito Lagum, Nicolas Mouawad, Ece Yüksel, Burcu Gölgedar Available via: Movie theaters
The first public standalone exhibition curated from the renowned LumpkinBoccuzzi Family Collection includes wellknown artists such as David Hammons, Kerry James Marshall, Mickalene Thomas, Henry Taylor and Kara Walker, as well as a younger generation gaining wider recogni tion, including Tunji Adeniyi-Jones, Sadie Barnette, Cy Gavin, Arcmanoro Niles and Jennifer Packer. The survey explores the history and meaning of Blackness and is organized around four themes: dramatic use of color, reclamation of the color black, materiality (nontraditional materials) and an expanded idea of portraiture.
“Young, Gifted and Black,” which opened July 28 and is on view through Dec. 19, is curated by Antwaun Sargent and Matt Wycoff and organized for the Manetti Shrem Museum by Kantor.

“Loie Hollowell: Tick Tock Belly Clock” — Known primarily for paintings and drawings that map the body through both figuration and abstraction, the New York-based Hollowell draws from her own lifeTheexperiences.firstU.S.museum solo exhibition for the artist, and the first to focus on her soft pastel drawings, “Loie Hollowell: Tick Tock Belly Clock” features new works made in 2020-21 coinciding with her second preg nancy. These experiences led to both a hyper awareness of, as well as estrangement from, the body — a dichotomy Hollowell explores through the process of her drawings. The exhibition asserts the primacy of drawing within Hollowell’s overall practice as key to making her paintings, while also celebrating them in their own right. Hollowell (b. 1983) grew up in Woodland and is the daughter of David Hollowell, UC Davis professor emeritus of art studio. Loie Hollowell earned a bachelor’s degree from UC Santa Barbara and an M.F.A. from Vir ginia Commonwealth University. She lives and works in Queens and is represented by Pace Gallery and Jessica Silverman Gallery.
The University of Cali fornia Observatories will present “Einstein!,” a oneman play that explores the physicist’s earlier years as he struggles to prove his theory of general relativity, hosted by the UC Davis department of physics and astronomy. The Sept. 16 performance at the Main Theatre, Wright Hall, is presented in conjunction with the 100th anniver sary of an astronomical observation that proved theUCtheory.Davis physics pro fessor Steven Carlip will introduce the perfor mance and participate in a post-show Q&A. Written and performed by Jack Fry, the play is set in 1914 Berlin as Einstein’s work is being rejected by the scientific community. Along with this, he is shunned for his pacifist views as World War I starts, antisemitism is on the rise, and his personal life is in turmoil with his wife refusing to grant him a divorce and his young son fights for his affections — all leading to Einstein suffering a nervous break down.Inspite of the dark sub ject matter, Fry’s play is filled with humor. It also uses projected 3D graph ics and animations that give the audience insight into Einstein’s mind. “Einstein!” contains adult themes and situa tions.The performance begins at 7 p.m. Reserved tickets are available at $50 for adults and $20 for stu dents. Tickets may be purchased at the UC Davis Ticket Office, located on the north side of Aggie Stadium, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, by phone 530752-2471 during the same hours, or online at campuses.tionomyunitaCaliforniaandandphysicsLettersinisvisaggies.evenue.net.ucdaBackingfor“Einstein!”fromtwodepartmentstheUCDavisCollegeofandScience—andastronomy,theateranddance—bytheUniversityofObservatories,multicampusresearchsupportingastronresearchandeducaacrossallUC
By Derrick Bang Enterprise film critic Director George Miller’s unusual new fantasy is simultaneously intimate and opulent, delicate and explosive, genteel and vul gar.It seems a highly unlikely film to be made at a time when so much of the world is bitterly divided along partisan and sectarian lines … and yet, perhaps, this is precisely the right time to be reminded of the com forting and enduring power of storytelling and myth. Miller and co-scripter Augusta Gore based this beguiling piece on the title tale in British novelist A.S. Byatt’s 1994 short story col lection, “The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye.” Byatt — the pen name of Dame Antonia Susan Duffy — also holds the conventions of folk and fairy tales as a revealing mirror of con temporary society; there’s a strong sense in her work — and in Miller’s film — that those who ignore or dis miss myth are much the poorer for having done so.

— UC Davis depart ment of theater and dance Museum announces fall exhibits
Dr. Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton), a narratologist who has focused her career on how fables and myths have affected human devel opment, is introduced as she arrives — the guest of honor — for a conference in Istanbul.Herscholarly focus not withstanding, she’s a stoic academic and creature of logic and reason: someone who long ago abandoned any desire to pursue romantic intangibles such as true love or unbridled passion. Swinton’s perfor mance, in these early scenes, is brusque but not unfriendly, although close colleagues find Alithea’s demeanor a bit baffling (given her field of study). That said, she’s also prone to occasional visions of fantastical beings from some sort of long-ago realm.It’s no accident, as she and her entourage make their way to the packed auditorium that awaits her presentation, that they pass a reference to a local pro duction of “Scheherazade.” The following day, seek ing a bauble to commemo rate this visit, she impulsively selects a deli cate blue bottle from within an exotic gift shop. Back in her hotel room, she cleans it in the sink, snatching an electric toothbrush to scrub away the inset swirls. And poof! The bottle top shoots out, and the room fills with a purplish-red mist laced with sparkling electromagnetic elements. They coalesce — at first massively, but ultimately at a somewhat more conven tional size and shape — into a regal Djinn (Idris Elba) whose voice suggests thunder, even when calm andAlithearestrained.has freed the Djinn from its bottle, and he graciously extends her the conventional reward: three wishes. Oh, no, Alithea objects, still doing her best to absorb all of this. She’s far too familiar with countless sagas of trickster djinns and wishes gone horribly awry. (Readers of fantasy likely will recall W.W. Jacobs’ classic 1902 short story, “The Monkey’s Paw.”) “I am no trickster!” the Djinn objects, in Elba’s mellifluous voice. No matter, she counters; she wants for nothing. “I have no heart’s desire.” Elba’s look of incredulity at this improbable state ment is priceless. Even as Alithea speaks these words, we disbelieve her as much as he does. The problem, as the Djinn subsequently explains, is that his fate is entwined with specific rules. If she refuses to make three wishes, he’ll be con signed to an unpleasant, ghost-like purgatory. By now overcome with curiosity, she suggests that he tell of his life, and the details of the three times, during the past three mil lennia, that he was impris oned within a bottle. Mention must be made, at about this point, of the fact that Alithea and the Djinn continue this unlikely meeting in her hotel room, both improba bly clad only in white bath robes: an ongoing image that’s both droll and oddly charming. Impressive visual trickery is employed, given that the Djinn’s 8-foot frame towers over her, even when they sit, side by side. (Elba is an impressive 6-foot-2, but Swinton isn’t that much shorter.)TheDjinn’s problem, he admits, is that he always has been far too fond of the com pany of women: a weakness that becomes a running theme in his saga. What fol lows, then, is a series of sto ries within this primary story: most of them even introduced via ornately let ter interstitial titles. The first takes place in the latter half of the 11th century BCE, where the Djinn is consort to the sen sual Queen of Sheba (Aamito Lagum), in an luxuriously sybaritic palace setting laden with all man ner of impossible beings and creatures. (Production designer Roger Ford had a field day with this film.) The Djinn is deliriously happy here, until the heav ily magicked Solomon (Nicolas Mouawad) arrives, and interferes with the dynamic.Thenext tale involves the Djinn’s effort to guide a slave girl (Ece Yüksel) bound within the court of the 16th century Ottoman Empire of Suleiman the Magnificent: an equally sumptuous segment marked by battlefield com bat and enough palace intrigue to satisfy “Game of Thrones” veterans. Next up is an interlink ing digression, “Two Broth ers and a Gigantress,” which plumbs the depths of bawdy bad taste; and, finally, “The Consequence of Zefir,” set in the 1850s, wherein the Djinn finds a young woman (Burcu Gölgedar) with a deep longing to understand the nature of the universe. Alas, she is locked away like a bird, in the great mansion of a wealthy merchant. Each saga is narrated via Elba’s hypnotic and richly persuasive voice-over: a performance that evokes fond memories of all great orators. Elba’s emotions are all over the map; the Djinn is by turns proud, regretful, regal, ashamed and — at all times — wary over what Alithea plans to do with her three wishes. She, in turn, progres sively reveals more about herself: most particularly the tragedy that prompted a failed marriage, after which she packed her for mer husband’s remaining possessions in a box, then stored on a shelf in the basement of her London flat. The Djinn recognizes, as do we, that she simulta neously sealed her emo tions in that same closed box.Many patrons will scoff and roll their eyes, long before reaching this point (assuming they haven’t already fled the theater). Viewed with superficial sensibilities, this all seems too contrived, too precious, too affected, too twee. To be sure, this film isn’t for all tastes.But die-hard romantics will swoon, just as Alithea does, in the presence of the Djinn. Swinton and Elba make us believe that this is the sort of conversation that would take place in our 21st century, were somebody to uncork a Djinn from its bottle. How else could such an encoun ter play Indeed,out?as we approach the third act, we wonder about that very detail: Where can this saga possi blyTrustgo? Miller and Gore. The former clearly is aim ing at an entirely different audience than that which flocked to his “Mad Max” films; the niche may be much smaller, but this film will keep such viewers utterly spellbound. — Be sure to join Derrick when he hosts 1963’s “The Pink Panther” at 7:01 Sun day, Sept. 4, as the first in a series of lighthearted heist films, presented at the Davis Odd Fellows Hall, 415 Second St. Read more of his film criticism at blogspot.com.http://derrickbang.Comment on this review at davisenterprise.com.www.

High Athletic Director Jeff Lorenson, the Blue Devils’ home game against Oakmont of Roseville has been moved to Thursday, Sept. 1. The game was originally scheduled from a week from today, Sept. 2. Lorenson said the game was moved because of a shortage of game officials. There were a halfdozen high school football games in the Sacramento region that were played on Thursday because of shortage of game offi cials.

Thirty-three of those runners are returning to the team from the 2021 season.Thegirls’ team is starting slow at practice as well due to the long season ahead of them. “We’re running mostly on flats in Davis for now,” said Gregg. “However, we’ll be traveling to hilly terrain occasionally with the varsity squads in the next few qualifychampionshipsplacefortogirls’improvingwellstrategyintensity,reacquaintedtheDuringweeks.”theseworkouts,teamisgettingwithraceimprovingraceandtactics,asasprogressivelygeneralfitness.Gregg’sgoalsfortheteamthisseasonarechallengeSt.FrancistheDeltaLeaguetitle,wellatthesectionandforthestatemeet.

The girls’ first meet of the season will also be the Lagoon Valley Classic. “We call early season races ‘rust busters’,” said Gregg. “It’s a time to clear out the cobwebs, get used to butterflies in the stomach, and get back into racing mode. “The teams historically have raced quite well at Lagoon Valley, and I expect that again this year.”Most of the Blue Devils’ meets are on weekends.Therewill be three league center meets during the season, leading up to October.championshipsthein

A new chapter started for the Davis High football team on Tuesday. Now the Blue Devils continue writing their story tonight in Placer County. That is when Davis (0-1) takes on Gran ite Bay (1-0) on the Grizzlies’ field in a non-league contest that starts at 7 p.m. This is the first road game of the sea son for the Blue Devils. “They are big, physical, strong,” said Davis head coach Nick Garratt of Granite Bay, which beat Elk Grove 34-12 in the season opener for both teams on Aug. 19. “They have a really solid push off the line of scrimmage.” Garratt said that his Blue Devils are trying to build the momentum off their season opener against Vacaville (1-0), which posted a 49-21 victory at Ron and Mary Brown Stadium also on Aug. 19. The game was knotted 21-21 at halftime. Davis carried that momentum of the first half into this week’s practices. “We were really, I think, motivated,” Garratt said. “I think that it’s obvious that, by the way that we practiced, a competitive level and commitment that we have working during games.”
Davis quarterback Braulio Acevedo, only a sophomore, and tight end AJ Hasson scored two touchdowns each in the game. Acevedo hit Hasson on a 6-yard pass in the second quarter. Blue Devil outside linebacker Adrian Trujillo intercepted a pass, which set up that touchdown.Acevedo’s second touchdown pass was to wide receiver Sawyer Schoen of 47 yards in the first half. Hasson, a junior who started as a sophomore during the 2021 season, scored the Blue Devils’ first touchdown of this season when he picked off the football and raced 20 yards to the end zone.After the Blue Devils missed a 51-yard field goal in the early part of the third quarter, the visiting Bulldogs scored four more touchdowns in the second half to seal the win. On Tuesday, the Blue Devil players were some of the 2,849 students who started the first day of 2022-23 school year. Garratt teaches in the social sciences department. The players are making the transition to being on campus all day with classes, followed by practice in the late after noon to early evening hours.

He is now in the United States Air Force Academy. Although losing Ayers to the academy is tough, Gregg is counting on leadership this season from senior Ryan Mitchell and junior Connor Cougevan, both of whom posted some of the best times from last season.

“There’s not as much prep time to lollygagging around,” Garratt said. “We’ve got to move in and out, know where we’re going and get used to a new routine. The first week is always kind of tough. It’s a bit of a learning curve, but see DAVis, PAge B7
By ReBeccA WAsik Enterprise correspondent Although the 2022 cross-country season has yet to begin, Davis High head coach Bill Gregg has already discovered one of the Blue Devils’ biggest strengths — depth of talent. “The boys team depth might be the deepest I’ve seen during my tenure at Davis High,” said Gregg, who has been running the program since 1997. “I also see a willingness for teammates to work on getting to know each other better, to do the physical work necessary for success and beginning the process of building and becoming a high performing team.” Here is a look at the DHS boys and girls teams this season.
“Ryan Mitchell and Connor Cougevan posted excellent 1600-meter times of 4 minutes 13.02 seconds and 4:20.38 respectively,” said Gregg of the two boys recording those times during the track and field season last spring. “Both were top-10 for Division 1 in the Sac-Joaquin Section.”Mitchell finished third and Cougevan 11th at the 2021 section championships. They placed 50th and 40th respectively at the state championships. There are 83 runners on the boys’ team this season, all of them healthy. 42 of those boys are returning to the team from last season. The practices have been straightfor ward since it started on Aug. 15 so far. But will begin to get harder as the begin ning of the season approaches. “We haven’t done any intense workout the first week and a half,” said Gregg. “Just basic, foundation building, steady state pace runs. We’ll do the first hard work out this Friday. Beginning next week, the more intense workouts will be on Mondays and Wednesdays.” These preseason workouts will prepare them for their first meet, the Lagoon Valley Classic, which is set for Saturday, Sept. 3 at Lagoon Valley Park in Vacav ille.Looking ahead to the postseason, Gregg’s goals for his boys’ team are to win the Delta League title, win the section’s see DePTh, PAge B7
Davis High’s Norah Dulaney, a senior, is headed down the final stretch on the north side of campus on Wednesday afternoon. The Blue Devil is considered the leader of this year’s girls squad, which begins the season on Labor Day weekend.
