Temperatures in Davis and the sur rounding region hit record highs on Monday and Tuesday, rising to 113 degrees in Davis on Tuesday after noon. As of that evening, daily highs were forecast to remain in the triple digits through Friday, with overnight lows ranging from 69 to 72 degrees. Some nearby cities notched even higher temperatures. “We just hit 116 degrees in Downtown Sacramento. That is the new All-Time highest temperature for Downtown Sacra mento. Old record was 114 on July 17, 1925,” the National Weather Service tweeted Tuesday just after 5 p.m. The extreme heat brought many activities to a halt. On Monday, Yolo Food Bank (YFB) announced it had cancelled two food distribution events planned for this week for the health and safety of volunteers and community members, the organiza tion said. The Davis Farmers Market also announced Monday it had can celled its Wednesday market.

The land that Jim Scala and his family have been ranching for three generations is parched and brown as far as he can see. The pond where his cattle used to drink is now a puddle, ringed with cracked mud. In other years, water pumped from the Shasta River would have periodically flooded this land, keeping his pasture alive and pond full. But the state had ordered Scala and other ranch ers and farmers in rural Siski you County to stop irrigating when the drought-plagued river dipped below a certain level.

Sometimes you seek good for tune and other times it just falls in your lap. The latter was the case the other day when I was cruising the CNN website and came across a contest to help the world's scientists name some of their favorite things. "The Webb telescope will closely observe 20 exoplanets and their stars," said the headline. "Here's how you can name them." Wow, Do I get to name all 20 or just one? And why me? I mean, I'm not sure I even know what an exoplanet is.

By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer One person suffered injuries Sunday during a second-alarm structure fire in El Macero. The fire began at about 6:40 p.m. at the home in the 44000 block of South El Macero Drive, accord ing to Davis Fire Depart ment Battalion Chief Paul Swanson.“Itwasreported to us as an outdoor fire from a barbecue which then extended into the attic of the home,” Swanson said. Crews classified it as a second-alarm blaze due to the size of the fire as well as the extreme heat. It took about an hour to bring the fire under con trol, and crews remained on scene for several hours to investigate and prevent flare-ups, Swanson said. A citizen sustained unspecified injuries for which they were trans ported to an area hospital forSwansontreatment.estimated the fire caused about $200,000 in fire, water and smoke damage to the structure, “but we were able to keep the fire from spreading to the living portion of the house.” Multiple fire crews from as far away as Vacav ille responded to Davis to assist either at the scene or with station coverage during the incident, SwansonFirefighterssaid. also han dled during the weekend multiple heat-related emergencies caused by extreme temperatures that began last week.
complicating the situation has been the pan demic and UC Davis limit ing its Koret Shelter Medicine program spay/ neuter services, which necessitated the suspension of these services at the county shelter for feral cats. Difficulty in recruiting new veterinarian and RVT’s for the county shel ter has impacted the situa tion as well.

Over the course of the past year, the YCSNG took to things to the next level by purchasing a fully equipped spay-and-neuter mobile clinic. Special to The Enterprise The Yolo County Spay and Neuter Group invites the public to its annual Peta-Palooza fundraiser Satur day, Sept. 10, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Yolo County Fairgrounds Picnic area. The event will be familyfriendly, with well and friendly dogs also wel comed to participate in helping to funds to provide low-cost spaying and neu tering for dogs and cats. YCSNG is a well-known group among animal-wel fare volunteers in Yolo County, since the nonprofit was started officially in 2018 by Amanda Hartman, board president, and her fellow board members. The mission of YCSNG is to provide the much needed low-cost spays and neuter ing for dogs and cats as well as vaccination clinics and adoption services. From its inception, a primary goal of the organization has been to own and operate its own low-cost mobile spay/neu ter clinic. Over the course of the past year, the group took to things to the next level by purchasing a fully equipped mobile unit, which will be on display at theThisevent.mobile clinic facility will be able to provide 30 low cost spays or neuters in a day when fully opera tional. This is why the YCSNG is reaching out to the Yolo County commu nity to help for operational funds to move forward. The low-cost spays and neutering will be offered for feral cats as well as domestic cats and dogs, which is critically need now since the Yolo County Ani mal Shelter has had to sus pend low-cost spay and neuter services to the pub lic since the pandemic began and due to its lim ited funding and staffing. These services for feral cats is a very scarce service, because it is far more com plex procedure to handle theseFurthercats.

Registration is now underway.It'ssponsored by West ern Monarch Advocates, which relates its mission is “to serve as an overarching entity to encourage and facilitate communication and interaction of groups and individuals committed to restoring the western monarch butterfly popula tion-regardless of their affiliation or location — in the hope that the shared knowledge will empower each of them to improve and better achieve restora tion goals within their own respective affiliation or location.”TheInternational Union for the Conservation of Nature placed the migra tory monarch butterfly on its Red List of threatened species on July 21, 2022, classifying it as endan gered.“Inthe 1990s, nearly 700 million monarchs made the epic flight each fall from the northern plains of the U.S. and Canada to sites in the oyamel fir forests north of Mexico City, and more than 1 million monarchs overwintered in forested groves on the California Coast,” according to the Xerces Society for Inverte brate
Be on the lookout for migratory monarch butterflies from the Pacific Northwest heading south to their overwintering sites along the California coast.It's been a very good year for monarchs in the Pacific Northwest, according to noted entomologist and monarch researcher David James, an associate profes sor at Washington State University, Pullman. “The numbers we are seeing in the PNW this summer are consistent with numbers I've seen in summers past when the overwintering popula tion was approximately 250,000 as it was last win ter,” he wrote in an email Aug. 31. “I have been compiling all the PNW monarch reports I have come across this summer — as I have done for many summers in the past. These have been from iNaturalist, Journey North, various Monarch Facebook pages and per sonal communications I get many people telling me they've seen a monarch. I verify all reports, that is, they must have a photo, or I know the reporter is expe rienced.”“Lastsummer (2021) I verified approximately 60 Monarch sightings in the PNW. This summer, I have had approximately 500 verified reports. “So, I think we have seen an 8-10 fold increase in Monarch num bers this summer in the PNW.

This column is thoughtsustainability.aboutAexperiment, if you will. The numbers that follow may not be precise, in fact I’m quite sure they won’t be. But they will be close enough. Actually, I have no idea now close they are to safely call them accurate. But they will serve to make a point.For example, the world bank says there were 7.753 billion humans on the planet in 2020. Presumably, they counted the number of legs and divided by two to come up with this num ber. Using this as a base, they estimate that by the middle of this coming November the num ber will have increased to a nice round number, 8 billion, and a really, really round number of 10 billion by 2050. Some scientists have appar ently judged 10 billion to be the “maximum carrying capacity” for humans on the planet. No men tion of how many giraffes, red wood trees, salmon or other species currently now occupying the planet will be there with us. Anyway, park the number 10 bil lion for a short bit. According to the Energy Information Association (EIA) electric vehicles are expected to make up about one-third of the global fleet by 2050. Good news, but it also means that two-thirds of the 2 billion total vehicles on the planet’s roads and highways will still be running on internal combustion engines.
Scientists track monarchs migrating down Pacific Coast Public helps track insects
“Now,Conservation.researchers and citizen scientists estimate that only a fraction of the population remains, mon archs have declined by more than 80% since the 1990s from central Mexico, and by more than 99% since the 1980s in coastal California.”
Let’s assume (fraught assump tion) that today’s global average number of people per household, five, will still be the case in 2050. That translates into 2 billion households.That’senough numbers. What’s the point? When I started this column years ago, I chose the name “Per Capita Davis” to focus on the impact individuals can have on greenhouse gas reduction. Over time, I gravitated to placing responsibility for responding to the climate crisis on govern ments, and to some degree busi nesses. I still think this is the appropriate pathway, But I have found myself thinking lately not just about climate, but more broadly, sustainability. For example, the transition to electric vehicles will reduce the number of tailpipes, and that’s good news for the climate cri sis, but there will still be 2 bil lion cars. What are the implications for sustainability of 10 billion persons, 2 billion cars, and 2 billion house holds? And not just cars, everything.Thereare perhaps better words for this, but consider that the world as currently constituted consists of “Haves” and “Have Nots.” The Have Nots are reasonably pursuing joining the Haves. The Haves are not really interested in moving to a Have Less classification. So, demand for everything can be assumed to Everythingincrease.ismade up of ingredients. These ingredients all come from a “supply chain” that resembles the famous matryoshka nesting dolls. Cars, for example, require some 30,000 parts (including small stuff like screws, nuts, and bolts) from as many as 4,000 suppli ers. Everything has to come from somewhere and underlying any eventual car part is an everbroadening pyramid of materials and energy to obtain, transport, andTiresproduce.arejust one component of a car. To make a tire requires machines and lots of equipment. Other required inputs include natural rubber, synthetic rubber, steel, nylon, silica, and polyester. Not to mention “carbon black” a product of combustion of vari ous petroleum products that is necessary for longevity of the tire. Each of the inputs required to make a tire comes from a sup plier that also requires parts and their own suppliers. The supply chain cascades until it meets raw materials which may be mined from the earth, or otherwise extracted from the planet’s natu ral Aresources.nd,of course, cars and the process of making them has become more and more technically compli cated. It used to be possible to open the hood of a car and work on the engine and rare earth ele ments were not involved in man ufacture. Ah, for the good old days. Today’s cars are run by computers, and extraction of minerals has become a commer cial stampede fraught with ethi cal and environmental issues. It’s not just big-ticket items like cars, A more mundane example would be a Snickers Bar. The list of ingredients includes sugar, cocoa butter, chocolate, skim milk, lactose, milkfat, soy lecithin, peanuts, corn syrup, salt, egg whites, cara mel and artificial flavors. And then, of course, there’s the pack aging. Every ingredient will require its own cascade of supply chains.Thequestion I’m asking myself is how on earth do we define sustainability when there are 10 billion consumers of everything from cars to candy bars? The 2 billion households will create demand for air condi tioners, refrigerators, food, light ing fixtures, rugs, stoves, curtains, couches, plates, ham mers, hoses, garbage cans, com puters, cell phones, televisions, books, art, diapers, water, clothes, toothpaste — the list is endless. Does the planet really have the resources for this? What does “carrying capacity” really mean? Of particular concern is how all this consumer demand fits into the proposed 30x30x30 proposal that, in order to ensure our future, requires that we set aside 30 percent of the planet’s land mass and 30 percent of oceans and fresh water by the year 2030 if, going back to the giraffes, redwood trees and salmon, we have 10 billion peo ple/consumers?— John Mott-Smith is a resi dent of Davis.

A week later, on Aug. 24, Scala and the other ranchers and grow ers turned the water pumps off. “We accomplished what we set out to do,” said Rick Lemos, a fifth generation rancher who also is a board member of the rural water association. “We got relief for the cattle that were out of water and wading out in the mud and getting stuck.” He said one of his cows had died in the mud. The weeklong standoff crystal lized a warning from California water watchers: The state has limited power to speedily inter vene in urgent conflicts over water, which are expected to flare across the state as drought squeezes water supplies for ranches, farms, tribes, cities and fish.“This is about the Shasta and it’s about Klamath salmon and it’s about tribes in the Klamath. But this is really about: can the state protect its water supplies, or is it just going to be the Wild West? Is it going to be every cowboy for himself?” said Craig Tucker, a natural resources consultant for the Karuk Tribe, the second larg est Native American tribe in Cali fornia.
Scala is the president and Lemos sits on the board of the Shasta River Water Association, a private, nonprofit water distribu tor that operates in the heart of Siskiyou County in the shadow of Mount Shasta. In normal years, the water association pumps from the Shasta River from April to Octo ber, sending the water through a network of canals to irrigate roughly 3,400 acres. The county, where locals have long chafed under Sacramento’s authority, was primed for sim mering tensions over water to boil“Theover.dictatorial whims of (the) State Water Board has no author ity to tell the people of Siskiyou county what to do with their property they own,” U.S. Con gressman Doug LaMalfa, a Republican whose district includes the county, said in an emailed statement. “This violates our constitutional guarantee against unlawful seizure. I encourage anyone to stop ‘volun tarily complying’ with govern mentThislooters.”hasbeen the fourth driest year to date in a region where drought has been tightening its grip for years. Even in 2020, the local agricultural commissioner reported an increase in fallowed acres and limited irrigation that reduced yields. Wildfires have burned through rangeland and timber.Butagriculture, too, has taken its toll on water in the region — warming the Shasta River and degrading its water quality, according to the Shasta Valley Resource Conservation District. These changes impact key spawning and rearing grounds for fall-run Chinook salmon and threatened Coho salmon. Other fish culturally important to tribes in the region, such as steelhead and Pacific lamprey, rely on the river as Salmonwell.runs have been declin ing for decades and few adult coho return every year, NOAA’s Simondet said. “Fish,” he said, “are not doing fine.” The Shasta River empties into the larger Klamath — a small source of its flow but an outsized producer of its fish. In Happy Camp along the Klamath River, about 75 miles east from the pumps that the ranchers turned on, Karuk Tribal Council Member Arron “Troy” Hockaday has been watching the river and its salmon populations change over his lifetime. “(If) those fish are gone, our people suffer. Those fish don’t spawn, our people suffer. We live off that — it’s our culture,” said Hockaday, a fourth generation traditionalHockadayfisherman.hasbeen dipping handmade nets into the rapids at Somes Bar to catch salmon since he was a child, and worries that his grandson won’t be able to continue the tradition. “There ain’t going to be no fish for him to fish. He’s never going to learn how to catch fish and be a Karuk Tribal fisherman.” Seeing the salmon populations decline even as water continues to flow through irrigation canals “hurts. It hurts so bad to see that,” Hockaday said. “And then to put pain into my soul, into our family, into the river — the farmers open the floodgates on the Shasta River.”From his vantage point, he said, “Nobody gets into trouble for it.” ‘Egregious and blatant disregard’

Hockaday of the Karuk tribe was relieved to see flows return ing to the Shasta River, but hopes to see the ranchers and growers held accountable for diversions that the state water board says are illegal.“It’s great that they turned off the pumps. But they knew they weren’t supposed to turn them on in the first place,” Hockaday said. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is still evaluat ing the damage that the pumping may have caused, Tina Bartlett, the department’s northern regional manager, said in a letter to the water board Friday. But the department expects that the rapid reduction in flows could have put young salmon and trout species at risk by shrinking their habitat, increasing tempera tures downstream and interfering with critical food production.
The Shasta River flows through Montague on Aug. 29. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife worries that the rapid reduction in flows caused by farmers pumping from the river could have put young salmon and trout at risk.

Pumps off, but will the damage remain?
“It is likely that some perished,” wrote Bartlett, who added that the rapid dewatering also “does not bode well” for adult Chinook salmon migrating from the Pacific to their spawning grounds. Lemos said he doubts that fish were harmed by the diversions. He expects warm summertime temperatures kept salmon species out of the lower reaches of the Shasta.“Iwish you’d go down the can yon and look for some dead fish because you won’t find them,” Lemos said. “There was nothing harmed by our diversion at all.” But Mike Belchik, a senior water policy analyst for the Yurok tribe, said the damage goes beyond salmon. Fish species like lamprey that also are culturally important to the Yurok people are vulnerable to being stranded by a rapidly retreating water line, Belchik said. And reducing the river’s flows can cause long-term harm to the food web that can affect production for in the years to come.“Ifyou interrupt the food pro duction in the summer, you don’t just get it back. It’s like removing the oxygen from a room for 20 minutes,” he said. “It’s lethal.” Hockaday said land can be replanted and economies rebuilt; if a species of fish disappears from the river, it’s gone forever. The ranchers who pumped the water “need to take care of his family. I understand that,” Hock aday said. But he wants to know when it’ll be the tribes’ turn to stop sacrificing so much. “We gave up everything since the colonist people came here,” Hockaday said. “We’ve given our land, we’ve given our water, we’ve given our homeland. We gave everything up.”

“It’s really unfortunate that we have those limitations,” Rizzardo said.Felicia Marcus, a visiting fellow at Stanford’s water in the west program and former chair of the California water board, was more blunt: “In theory the water board has a lot of authority to deal with illegal diversions. In practice, they have to do it blindfolded and with one hand tied behind their back.”California water law experts have been pushing for the water board to be granted more power to act Jenniferswiftly.Harder, a law profes sor at the University of the Pacif ic’s McGeorge School of Law urged California lawmakers to consider granting state water regulators the authority to tem porarily pause water diversions and stem the damage in emer gencies, while still allowing due process. Similar efforts have failed in the past. “The bottom line is, we live in a very different world than we lived in 20, 30, 40 years ago in terms of the immediacy of some of these threats,” Harder said. After receiving the board’s notices, Scala, Lemos and the rest of the Shasta River Water Asso ciation kept pumping the river’s water for almost a week. “Only regret I have is we didn’t start earlier,” Scala said on Aug. 24, with irrigation water running across his land. “We’re going to lose the crop anyway. We’re going to have to pay a fine, probably.” But later that day, Lemos said they shut off the pumps; they had accomplished what they’d set out to do, he said. “We were going to fill our stock ponds and get some stock water and get things where we could survive, and shut off,” Lemos said. “And that’s what we basically did.” The 20-day period before fines escalate had also factored into their discussions, Lemos said. Considering the costs of hay, replanting desiccated pasture and selling off cows, he said, “at $500 a day, it would probably be worth it, I’ll be quite honest. It’d proba bly be more than affordable. At $10,000 a day, it wouldn’t be.” Lemos estimates he’s bought around $50,000 worth of hay so far this year, with more on the way; Scala counts over $100,000 in hay costs between this year and last. Both are bracing to sell off large proportions of their herds to make it through the coming year — for Scala, it could be as much as half. And he doesn’t think the water even made it a third of the way across his field. “I’ve been pretty depressed the last couple of days,” Scala said. “There’s no future. We don’t have water. Without water, we’re done. And we can’t sell the place. Who’s going to buy a place without water?”

Last year, the State Water Resources Control Board adopted emergency regulations that allow state regulators to curtail water users in the region when sum mertime flows in the Shasta River drop below 50 cubic feet per sec ond near Yreka. The aim is to protect salmon and trout species, including steel head, fall-run Chinook and threatened Coho salmon. But the limit is fiercely contested by area ranchers, who note that it’s higher than the average historic flows in August since 1933. The Shasta River Water Asso ciation petitioned in early August to continue diverting water to fill stock ponds for approximately 5,000 cattle plus calves and other assorted animals, according to a copy of the petition the water board shared with CalMatters. The water board said the request was still under review. Lemos said the ranchers couldn’t afford to wait. “How long do they review it while the cows are dying of thirst?” Lemos said. “We didn’t just fly off the handle and say hey, we’re going to break the law and get into a big mess. We tried the other way first.” In a letter dated Aug. 17, the water association notified state regulators that they planned to violate the curtailment that day. “We were in a critical situation. We have cattle out of water… We have nowhere to move them. You can’t just get them in and sell them tomorrow,” Lemos said. “So that’s why we started diverting (water).”Thepumps rapidly sucked away river water, dropping flows by more than half in a day, state officials said. “It’s an egregious and blatant disregard for the environment and for our regulations…We are really, really interested in taking some swift action because we do take this so seriously,” said Julé Rizzardo, permitting and enforcement branch manager for the water board’s division of waterTherights.board is still investigating and determining whether to seek fines.Ittook only a day after flows began dropping for the agency to notify the water association that they had violated their curtail ment and could face fines of up to $500 per day But under state law, the ranchers had 20 days to respond and request a hearing.Onlyafter the 20 days are up or a hearing has occurred can the water board adopt a final cease and desist order and raise the fines to $10,000 a day. By then, fall-run Chinook salmon would have been migrating through the river.

Controllable flight
The new study builds on this work, bringing together aerodynamic studies using 3D printed models of gulls and gull wings in a wind tunnel, with computer modeling of inertial forces to under stand how gulls achieve stability along their long axis (falling or rising). Gulls can adjust how they respond to perturba tions in that axis by adjusting their wrist and elbow joints, and morph ing the shape of the wings, they found. The team was able to predict the gulls’ flying qualities and how rapidly they can recover from a perturba tion like a gust. That reac tion time also gives insights into the “control lable range” for the bird and into applying bird flight dynamics to air craft.“The flight qualities analysis asks: if you built an aircraft exactly like a gull, would a human be able to fly it?” Harvey said.As uncrewed aerial vehicles, or drones, become more widely used, they need to be able to navigate complex urban

“Consumer conservation played a big part in protect ing electric grid reliability,” the alert system reported. Nevertheless, much of Davis lost power for up to a few hours Tuesday eve ning. Around 6:30 p.m., PG&E reported four major outages in Davis: 2,928 customers in West Davis, 3,727 in North Davis, 3,333 in Central Davis and Davis Manor, and 2,390 in Mace Ranch and South Davis. Power was restored later that evening. Due to the weather fore cast, local agencies made special health and safety preparations going into the week.The city of Davis announced three centers where people can go to cool off this week. A Weather Relief Center is operating Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Davis Senior Center. The city of Davis Respite Center, which includes access to resources like showers and laundry, is open to those experiencing homelessness Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. And the Davis Branch Library is open Monday from 2 to 8 p.m., Tuesday and Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday and Satur day from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.Similarly, Yolo County created a map with places to cool down across the county. Residents can also call 2-1-1 to learn what cooling locations are close to them. The map includes cooling locations in Clarks burg, Davis, Esparto, Knights Landing, West Sacramento, Winters and Woodland, according to an announcement from the Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency. Because of the excessive heat, both Unitrans and YoloBus are offering free transit through Friday, Sept.UC9.Davis also mobilized resources to prepare for the heat. “The UC Davis Fire Department has an addi tional fire engine (Brush 34) staffed as part of a Yolo County pre-positioned strike team since Saturday and through Friday,” said UC Davis News and Media Relations Specialist Julia Ann Easley. “This allows us to have an extra resource on campus to manage any surges in call volume from the heat and also be pre pared to respond as part of the strike team to any wild fire hazards on campus or throughout the county.” The campus also reduced its energy usage to remove some of the burden on the state’s power grid. Since Sunday, UC Davis has turn off all of its chillers between 5 and 9 p.m. and cooled the campus using a thermal energy storage tank, Easley said. It is also implement ing demand response pro grams in the HVAC systems for buildings that do not have labs or animal spaces.

Cooling systems in homes in Davis and across California were working overtime this week, dealing with an unprecedented heat wave and putting extra demand on the state’s power grid.
SWELTER: University mobilizes assets
California’s electric grid operator warned consum ers the “heat wave is fore cast to push electricity demand to an all-time high” and declared an emergency alert for that afternoon and evening. Around the same time, the city of Davis published an alert warning residents that “rolling outages may be occurring in parts of Davis today.” To reduce demand on the energy grid, the city asked residents to limit electricity usage from 4 to 9 p.m. by setting ther mostats at 78 degrees or higher, avoiding usage of major appliances like washing machines or dish washers, using fans for cooling, turning off unnec essary lights and unplug ging unused items or devices.Around 8 p.m., the state grid operator said state wide load shedding had been narrowly averted.
In March this year, Harvey and colleagues at the University of Michi gan published a paper in Nature analyzing the flight dynamics of 22 bird species. While previous studies have tended to focus on aerodynamics — how air moves around a bird — Harvey developed equations to describe birds’ inertial properties, such as the center of grav ity and the neutral point, where aerodynamic forces can be consistently mod eled as point forces. Aircraft are typically designed to be stable or unstable. A stable aircraft will tend to return back to steady flight when per turbed (for example, get ting pushed up by a wind gust). This is desirable, for example, in an air liner, but not for a jet fighter. Highly maneuver able aircraft are designed to be unstable. In their Nature paper, Harvey and colleagues showed that almost all the bird species studied are capable of both stable and unstable flight and use wing movements to shift between these modes.

BERKELEY — There were several intriguing “what ifs?” that might have allowed UC Davis to upset California, but in the end the Golden Bears came up with the big plays when they needed them to drop the Aggies, 34-13, in the season football opener Saturday afternoon in Memorial Stadium. Cal now owns an 11-0 all-time mark against the Aggies. But despite the 21-point margin at the end, the Bears had their hands full in the early going against the upsetminded Aggies. UCD, in fact, dominated the first quarter, taking a 7-0 lead and coming very close to stretching that to 14-0 before a big stop by the Bear defense turned momentum Cal’s way.Cal didn’t have a first down until the final seconds of the first quarter, and after its first three possessions had netted a negative 15 yards of total offense. When the quarter ended, the Aggies had gained 91 yards to just a single yard for the Bears.The Aggie defense came out loaded for bear — or Bears, in this
— holding Cal to minus seven yards on its first drive, minus eight yards on its second drive and zero yards on its third drive. The first drive ended with a sack of Cal quarterback Jack Plummer by Da ‘Von Frazier, the second on a sack of Plummer by Jaylin White and the third on an interception of Plummer by Teddye Buchanan. “We were prepared, and we came out ready to play,” said Aggie head coach Dan Hawkins. “I was happy with that. The guys played hard and battled.” Added White, whose sack had the Aggies thinking upset, “We came in and had a hot start, which is just what we wanted. It was great. We had good energy there.” Following a Cal punt midway through the first quarter, the Aggies moved the ball consistently on the ground and through the air, march ing 53 yards in 14 plays to take a 7-0 lead when quarterback Miles Hastings hit Chaz Davis with a fouryard TD strike. Davis was sand wiched between two Cal defenders, but Hastings, who had plenty of time to find a receiver, drilled the ball into Davis’ midsection with a perfectFollowingtoss. Buchanan’s intercep tion, UCD threatened to take a twoscore lead that could have dramatically changed the ultimate outcome.Starting with excellent field posi tion at the Cal 34, the Aggies moved quickly into the red zone before fac ing a critical fourth-and-1 at the Cal 9. However, Trent Tompkins attempted to pick up the first down on the right side of Cal’s defensive line but was stopped for a two-yard loss by safety Daniel Scott in what turned out to be a dramatic shift in momentum.Hawkinssaid afterward that there was no thought of going for a field goal and a potential 10-0 lead in that“Againstsituation.ateam like Cal, you’re not going to win by kicking a field goal in the red zone,” he said. Early in the second quarter, the Bears finally got their offense in gear, moving 53 yards in eight plays to tie the game on a three-yard scoring pass from Plummer to Jeremiah Hunter with 8:54 remain ing before the half.

By BoB Dunning Enterprise staff writer Coming off a 34-13 setback in their season opener at Cal, things won’t get any easier for the UC Davis Aggies as they head to Brookings, S.D. to take on No. 2 South Dakota State Jackrabbits Saturday at 4 p.m. (PDT) in a non-conference Football Championship Subdivision showdown. SDSU, which beat the Aggies, 56-24, in the first round of the FCS playoffs last November, dropped a 7-3 decision to Iowa in the season opener for both schools, limiting the Big Ten power Hawkeyes to just 166 yards of total offense and holding Iowa without a touchdown. Yes, those seven points were the result of a field goal and two safeties. The Jackrabbit offense was also stone cold, manag ing just six first downs and 120 yards of total offense.

The day in 2003 Davis Enterprise editor Deb bie Davis offered me the opportunity to write this column, she told me to give it a title. Since I love words, I quickly responded, “Lexicon Artist.”Mycontributions, I hoped, would demonstrate a rich lexicon — “the vocabulary of a person, language” — and my arguments would be convincing.
As a reader, I’m continually coming across worthy old words that are new to me. Perse — “of a very deep shade of blue or purple” — is a recent example. It is one of several chromatic English terms that derive from the names of countries where Europeans believed that colorPerseabounded.comesfrom Persia. While it is a homophone of “purse,” they are etymologi cally unrelated. The “small bag,” often used to carry money, originated with bursa, meaning “bag” in Latin. The Spanish bolsa (“bag” or “stock market”) has the same Latin heritage. Two other colorful English words, indigo (“a deep violet blue”) and turquoise (“a greenish blue”), derive respectively from India and Turkey. Evidently, Greek traders associated various hues with specific distant lands.Time-tested terms are not the only words I like to let into my lexicon. I also enjoy a good neologism (“a newly coined word, or phrase or familiar word used in a new sense”). Not every neologism is a portmanteau — “a word whose form and meaning are derived from a blending of two or more distinct forms” — but most Neologismare.came into Eng lish from French in 1772. It’s the blend of neo- (“new”) and logos (“word”). For the gener ation of John Jay and Thomas Jefferson, neologism was a Theneologism.bestnewwords are normally not argot (“a spe cialized idiomatic vocabulary peculiar to a particular group of people”). Mesocosm (“any outdoor experimental system that examines the natural environment under con trolled conditions”) is an example of a new word that is mainly useful for a unique group. It was coined in the late-1990s.Theneologisms I like best are those which provide a term to something which has always been there but lacked a specific name. For example, bromance, which combines bro(“brother; male friend”) and romance, gives us a term for an emotional, platonic relationship between two or more men. Dave Carnie, the editor of a skateboarding magazine, coined the term to describe the intense bonds among professional skaters he knew who lived, traveled and worked together. Yet just because a new word is coined and widely understood doesn’t mean I will like it. Perhaps the worst neologism of the last 20 years is mansplaining. The port manteau is not just a pejora tive. Its usage is pernicious — far more than the impro priety it wants to put down.
Mansplaining meshes man- and explaining. Its purpose is to disgrace men who speak in a patronizing way to women. The use of mansplaining presumes that sexism is at play — that the mansplainer talks down only to women because he thinks women are beneath him. I have no doubt that mans plaining is a real thing and there are sexist males who speak superciliously to women. But in my experi ence, most accusations of mansplaining are misplaced and do more harm than good.The first time I heard that contumely made me realize its deleterious effect. I was on a group bike ride 10 years ago, heading to Winters. One among us was a man who knew a lot about proper “paceline” riding technique. If Mr. X saw me or anyone else err, he would point it out. Unfortunately, X had no tact. He would teach by belit tling the person he hoped to help. Yet X had good infor mation. I have long used the lessons of his loutish lectures. On that westbound ride, there was a north wind blow ing. In order to draft off the cyclists in front, trailing rid ers formed a right-to-left ech elon — “where riders position themselves at slight angles alongside each other, to get the best protection from a crosswind.”Ifthere’s no side gale, rid ers draft one behind the next, and when the first person tires, she should signal a move to her left, slow down and take up the last position in Butline.when there is a cross wind, to safely leave the lead, it’s necessary to move into the direction of the wind. On that ride to Winters that meant having the peloton pass on the leader’s left, as she recoiled on the right of the Oroad.ur front rider didn’t know that was how she should have dropped back. Instead, she signaled her intent to retreat and quickly crossed to her left. So the second rider was unexpectedly cut off as the ladyThatlurched.maneuver nearly caused everyone else to crash. Mr. X, in the patronizing way he spoke to men and women, tried to explain what she did wrong. But she would not lis ten. She shut him up by accusing Mr. X of “mans plaining.” Her ornery attitude led to the loss of a laudable lesson.Blithe accusations of mansplaining can be harmful to the accused and the accuser. Alleging mansplain ing cuts off conversation and ends edification. With bicy cling blunders, it can also get someone killed. Even though Debbie Davis has retired from The Enter prise, I think of her often, especially all she taught me about writing and words. In 1982, at the end of her year teaching journalism at Davis High, Debbie rewarded me with a copy of Roget’s Thesaurus for my work as the student-editor of The Hub. It’s still my go-to reference when I’m trying to find the right word to write in this column.Hopefully I’m never guilty of mansplaining. I’ve been blessed to learn from women my whole life and hope I’m not patronizing when I share what I know. — Rich Rifkin is a Davis resident; his column is pub lished every other week.

An old friend is an ER doc in Colorado Springs. He told me that injuries from electric scooters are so common that his ER staff created this acro nym for it — FOOSH. It stands for “Falls On Out stretched Hand.” It usually results in a fractured wrist. Unhelmeted riders aren’t so “lucky.”On Sept.30, Lime will dump 300 of these motorized toys on Davis streets. No rules, no guidance from our apparently feckless City Council, no proposed enforce ment from Davis Police for misuse or misbehavior. I’m hoping that UC Davis — which has veto power for scooter use on campus — will nip this program in the bud before we’re all stuck with it. Eric Warp Davis

By Quemars ahmed Special to CalMatters California, famous for being an innova tor, is late to adopt sports betting. Even if sports betting is legalized in Novem ber due to a pair of ballot initiatives, the state would be 37th to join the party. Thanks to its size and to the strange nature of the dueling initiatives, however, Califor nia is in a unique position to make the sports betting industry fairer, safer and more reliable for bettors. The ad war already has begun, with record amounts of money being spent on the proposition 26 and 27 campaigns. The arguments for and against legalization have touched on issues ranging from tribal sov ereignty to homelessness to gambling addiction. Missing, however, is the concern for the Whilebettors.legalizing activities such as the sale of marijuana can be adapted to a pre-exist ing regulatory regime, the marketplace of sports betting has no such analog. To accept importation of the sports betting industry as it exists in other states is to accept a marketplace that is unfair to the consumer.Inthepast two years, there has been an explosion in the number of states legalizing sports betting and corporations offering bets. This has sparked competition and innovation in an industry that had been mostly stagnant in the United States for decades.Thisboom has not been without its downsides. Ambiguous situations that occur because of digital technology or cir cumstances that arise from new kinds of bets have been resolved by the sportsbooks because regulators were too uncertain or too slow to act. Take, for example, same-game parlays. Once relegated to the realm of fiction (they provide much of the anxiety in the movie “Uncut Gems”), they are now offered by almost every online sportsbook and are popular because of their potentially high payouts. The fine print in most sportsbooks is different from what has been practiced for decades with traditional parlays. Instead of recalculating the parlay if one of the legs is void, sportsbooks will void the entire parlay. On Jan. 9, the Warriors tweeted nine minutes before their game that night that Draymond Green would not play — but would start on the court to honor the return of teammate Klay Thompson from serious injury. Between the tweet and when betting was closed, players bet using samegame parlays with as inflated odds as they could make, leaving the sportsbooks liable for millions of dollars. DraftKings took two days to decide to pay out winning bets. In other situations, consumers are lim ited to how much they are allowed to bet, the price they can lay a bet for, and when they can place a bet — but they aren’t told that until they attempt to place their bets. In no other industry is this allowed to takeThereplace.are no hidden limitations on the amount one might spend at Target. It would be illegal for a company to list a price of an item on the shelf and then charge a different amount at checkout. Sports bettors need more transparency, defined rules and an accessible over sight regime. Without a bettors lobby in Sacramento to counter the gaming inter ests, change is unlikely. A gaming entity or state official, however, could take advantage of the vacuum in the current political mes saging to affect consumer-friendly reform in California and elsewhere. What better way for tribal casinos to dis tinguish themselves as the best option for bettors? Or for Draftkings and Fanduel to assuage fears of being out-of-state corpora tions coming in to take advantage of Cali fornians?Regulators have more leverage now to apply pressure on gaming entities to exact pledges for fair practices than they would after any proposition has been approved by voters.The winning bet for these propositions might lie in the hands of their future cli ents. — Quemars Ahmed is a former editor-inchief of the UCLA Law Review and a practic ing attorney.

When we left Iran in 1974 so that Adib could pursue a PhD. We expected to return — to work and raise our own fam ily in the place our families had lived for centuries. But in 1979, the government of Iran was taken over by those supporting Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, and it became clear that Iran was no longer a safe place for us, as members of the Baha’i Faith. The Baha’i Faith is a reli gion whose aims include the uniting of all people, regardless of their color, ethnicity, belief or gender. But clergy in Iran con sider it heretical. Adib completed his degree in Canada in 1980 and came to UC Davis, where we raised our children and had very satisfy ing careers, from which we retired a few yearsBaha’isago. have experienced discrimina tion and violence in Iran since the time it came into being there in the mid-1800s, but since 1979 there has been nearly con stant fear and anxiety. But this summer the situation took an even more concerning direction. A much internationally derided statement was issued by Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence on July 31, accusing Baha’is of “colonial ism” and “infiltrating kindergartens.” This appalling act of hate speech led to imprisonments, arrests, and raids on homes and businesses. But we are comforted by the response of prominent Iranians inside and outside the country, who have issued a joint statement supporting the Baha’is and which says in part, “when it comes to civil and human rights of Baha’is, we consider ourselves Baha’is, too.” Nongovernmental agency statements and news and opinion pieces in newspapers around the world — in Western countries and in the Mid dle East and Asia—have supported the Iranian Baha’is. We believe these actions will make a difference. Our Baha’i family and friends in Iran have endured and continue to endure these persecutions with patience, resil ience, and hope. We continue to pray for their sustained perseverance and stead fastness and for the promotion of peace and unity. We invite our fellow Davis community members to keep these per secuted Bahai’s in their prayers as well. Adib Rowhani and Kian Rowhani Davis We welcome your letters
Acommon wine-columnreader question: Does price really make that much difference? Can’t a $6 TJ special be just as good as a $60 Napa extravagance? It’s possible. But also highly improbable. (I could insert here a philosophical discussion: “What is good?” I’ll resist.) There are, of course many expensive Napa wines that I would never drink and that I’d gladly pass over in favor of a modest French import. The everpopular Rombauer Chardonnay, for instance, which retails at around $50 (you can find it for much less) and clocks — in all its creamy, oaky, buttery glory — 14.5% alcohol. Just give me a glass of crisp, clean, unoaked Bernier Char donnay ($10, Co-op and Nugget) from the Loire and I’ll be per fectly happy as long as the food is fresh and the company good. But the reality is that the wines I most enjoy writing about, the ones that seduce me (like the Florèz Poilu’s Pinard blend and the Margins skin-con tact chenin blanc that I wrote about in the last column) tend to cost a lot (though not nearly so much as the Rombauer). Some one with a very limited wine budget, like me, can’t drink those beauties every night, so I always stock more modestly priced wines and I almost always enjoy them,Theytoo.just don’t inspire much copy. So sometimes I knuckle down and write about the wines I — and many of my readers — can afford to drink regularly, even if they’re not particularly remarkable.Mycurrent list includes lots of bottles in the $10-$15 category, like the ever-reliable Tintero Bianco (a Kermit Lynch import), which just went up in price (like everything else) from $10 to $12 (Co-op and Nugget) but is still an excellent bargain and, with its slight bubbles, very much fun. The current vintage is particu larly good. Here are a few others I’ve been drinking this summer. Every year I pick up a bottle of the current release of the Vetric cie Rosé from Corsica. A blend of local grapes — sciaccarellu, niel lucciu and grenache — it’s lively and minerally with some nice summer fruit and a beautiful hue. The 2021 seems even better than usual and a bargain at $12 (Nugget). Also at Nugget are a couple of even less expensive ($10) and local wines that I enjoy.For one, the Toad Hollow Rosé of pinot noir. The 2021 is Toad Hollow’s 26th vintage of this apple and tropical-fruity but dry
An easy hack for your next game day meal can be a recipe you prepare at home before heading to the stadium. The toppings are what set these Koreaninspired Sweet and Spicy Bratwurst Subs apart.

Another is Three Pears Pinot Grigio, made by Napa’s Randy Mason, for whom Three Pears is a sort of second label. I once poured this at a wine event and one of the tasters asked if there were pears in it — no, no pears were harmed in the making of this wine, though I can see how one might be confused by the beautiful and realistic pears on the label, which prompts the question, “When is a pear not a pear? (This label really pops, by the way — you’ll be tempted to keep the bottle around and use it for flowers or to serve water in at theButtable.)yes, you can taste pear — and stonefruit as well. The grapes are from Lodi. Like the Toad Hollow, this wine is one we’ve liked for many years and always found reliably fresh and fun. I just read the description of the new Wednesday night pizza offering at Upper Crust bakery — fresh figs, chèvre, green onion, prosciutto and balsamic. This Three Pears should be a great companion. Let me know if you try the Ncombination.otlocaland$11 rather than $10 is the 2020 Villa Bianchi Verdicchio Dei Castelli de Jesi, which is probably my favorite of this bargain group. It has a lot of character in that Italian white wine way: it bursts with stone fruit flavors, continues with a nice layer of minerals, and fin ishes with a wisp of lime. The grapes are organically grown and come from 100+ year old vine yards. I’m impressed by the very lightweight bottle, too. I’ll definitely be going back for more — as one reviewer said, “Wow is this good!” And it has a surprisingly long finish for a wine in this price range. It worked perfectly with a fresh tomato and basil sauce over penne. Try it with almost any summer pasta dish, with a lightly-sauced fish dish, or with beet risotto. The crisp acidity makes it a good partner for all manner of fun food. And, yes, it would be excellent with that fig pizza.While you’re at Nugget pick ing up these summer treats, you might up the game just a bit and try a bottle of 2020 Blue Quail Sauvignon Blanc ($16). Blue Quail is a Mendocino label (Pot ters Valley) from McFadden Vineyards. Grown at 1100 feet, the grapes were whole cluster pressed and fermented in stain less steel, and the result is a lovely sauv blanc, both fruity and minerally — and eminently food-friendly.I’veoftenmentioned McFad den Vineyards, family owned and organic for over 50 years. I’m especially a fan of the McFadden sparkling wine, which isn’t easy to get in Davis and which often sells out before

I’m able to pick up a bottle. The pinot grigio is the only Blue Quail wine that Nugget is cur rently carrying, but under the Blue Quail label, Guinness McFadden also produces a nice pinot noir and riesling — wines that regularly win competitions, that are always priced under $20, and that are available at many Mendocino grocery stores. I’m a fan of McFadden’s farm products, as well; every year in my December holiday column, I recommend ordering one of the lovely bay leaf wreaths or garlic braids for festive decoration. Useful as well decorative, of course. Check out their tempting website.Inchoosing bargain wines, I do try, as you can see, to stick with family-owned, small-tomedium producers who care about their grapes and the envi ronment. They may not be the cheapest wines around but cheap can turn out to be very expensive in terms of our health and the health of our land. I will, though, resist diving into the “What is cheap?” Or “When is cheap not really cheap?” questions, as well as the “What is good?” one. Maybe you can answer them yourselves as you enjoy — and philosophize over — that fig pizza and a glass of good verdicchio. — Susana Leonardi is a Davis resident; reach her at vinosu sana@gmail.com.

While they may not strap on helmets and head to the field for kickoff, football fans often feel like they’re as much a part of the game as the players themselves. When the team is in the locker room laying out the game plan, scores of fans are fueling up with tantalizing tailgate foods.Infact, many tailgaters believe food is the most important aspect of the pregame festivities, and one trendy way to feed your crowd is with small plates, appetizers, sam plers and innovative sides that feature a variety of fla vors like these ideas from the experts at Aramark.

AGGIES: From bad to worse
Montana State 40, McNeese State 17 Montana State won its annual Gold Rush game as the Bobcats raced past visiting McNeese State The Bobcats rushed for 359 yards in the win.
“I love long runs like that, but I have to just trust in my offensive line,” Gilliam explained. “My eyes got wide when I saw all that open field and I said to myself it was time to turn on the jets.” Gilliam ended the day with 115 yards on the ground with an impressive 8.2 yards-percarry average, and added a team-high seven receptions for 35 yards to become UC Davis’ all-time leader in career total yardage by one yard with a total of 4,630.
New experience gets attention
The New York Times asked people to write in about their experiences of trying something new later in life.Iwrote about taking up water polo at age 75. I got a call from the newspaper’s lifestyle editor, Alix Strauss, who proceeded to interview me with tough questions which allowed no shallow answers.Later,a photographerTimesshowed up at a Davis Masters Water Polo practice to take pictures.Iwasnot prepared for what happened when the article appeared on Aug. 8. It hit a chord with our agingThousandspopulation.oflikes and comments poured in from all over the Internet. I heard from people I hadn’t heard from in years.Some, like Robert and Roswita Norris of Davis Aquatic Masters, have been doing their later life activities their whole lives. n For years, DAM has sponsored an annual swim meet at the City of Woodland’s pool in August, but a scheduling mix-up meant that we had to do our own private August splash day at Arroyo Pool. Over three dozen DAM swimmers came together last month to participate in a very successful lowkey intersquad event. Three new club records were set: Ted Deacon (7074) in the 200 free at 2 minutes, 30.55 seconds; Dave Woodruff (65-69) in the 400 IM at 5:59.40 and the men’s 65-plus 200 Medley Relay of Deacon, Woodruff, Stu Kahn and John Dickey with a Gayle2:18.09.Bondurant set a club record in the 75-79 50 fly. Gayle Bondurant set a club record in the 75-79 50 fly. Jane Russell competed at the USMS Nationals meet recently. She finished 10th in the 100 back, 9th the 50 fly, seventh in the 200 back, ninth in the 100 breast and seventh in the 200 fly.
One more win. That is all Davis High volleyball head coach Julie Crawford needs to notch her 200th career win since she took charge at the beginning of the 2011 season. On Tuesday, Davis (10-2) opened Delta League action Tuesday by defeating Sheldon on the road in three sets. The final scores were not available at press time.Now Crawford and the Blue Devils shift their attention to Thursday, when they will host Elk Grove in another league match, which is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m.
