UC system proposes tuition hike Fees would rise yearly through 2024

A tent encampment crowds off of Grand Avenue in Oakland.

Homelessness has soared in California, and a new poll shows voters now list it as their top concern.

Poll backs Newsom on homeless Sanders surges in Democratic field

BY BEN CHRISTOPHER CalMatters

Gov. Gavin Newsom kicked off 2020 by pledging to plow an extra $1.4 billion into homeless services, proposing a state constitutional amendment to make it easier to sue cities who fail to provide shelter for their unhoused populations and embarking on a statewide “homelessness tour” to visit shelters and other providers.

Homelessness, he said last week as he unveiled his proposed budget, is “the issue that defines our times.”

When the institute asked the same question last year, only 6% of respondents named homelessness at the state’s top policy priority.

And when the new poll focused in on likely voters, the results were even more emphatic: 23% named homelessness their chief concern, with another 11% citing housing.

The survey also suggested that Newsom’s approval among likely voters may be inching up.

According to a poll released Wednesday, more Californians than ever agree.

Twenty percent of Californians surveyed by the Public Policy Institute of California cited homelessness as the most important issue for the governor and Legislature to work on this year.

That’s a record, said the institute’s president, Mark Baldassare: “It’s never, ever been in the double digits.”

Another 10% of Californians named “housing costs (and) availability.”

And the poll found that California Republicans largely support President Trump, but tend to part ways with him on immigration.

The survey was conducted Jan. 3 to 12 — mostly before the state’s Democratic governor

School board expresses interest in South Davis library

BY JEFF HUDSON Enterprise staff writer The Davis school board heard a presentation at Thursday’s meeting by Yolo County supervisors Jim Provenza and Don Saylor regarding plans (still being developed) for a South Davis Library and Education Center in Walnut Park. And the school board trustees unanimously passed a resolution expressing interest in the project.

Currently, the Yolo County Library system operates a small

VOL. 123, NO. 9

branch library in a room at Marguerite Montgomery Elementary School, but that library facility is regarded as too small, and is open only on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

The proposed facility that Provenza and Don Saylor described to the school board would have more space, including meeting rooms that could be used by community groups, book club gatherings, appearances by speakers, etc.

Provenza further noted that “we were at capacity in the Mary L. Stephens Davis Branch

Library five years ago, and we are over capacity now ... we have people sitting on the floor sometimes because there is nowhere else to go.” And he added that “there isn’t much (currently) in South Davis in the way of public services.”

Saylor described the proposed South Davis Library and Education Center as “a community center, a hub that connects people to information, to their community and to the planet,” and predicted the new facility would reinforce the school district’s ongoing efforts to “close

The University of California Office of the President announced this week it will ask the UC regents to approve a tuition increase at the regents’ upcoming board meeting on Jan. 22.

According to a public document addressed by UCOP to the board of regents, the tuition hike might be applied only to new students, including freshman and transfer students.

It would be the first fee increase since 2017, when tuition rose by 2.7%, or $336 per year.

On Wednesday, the regents will vote on whether to raise fees for graduate students as well as whether to increase tuition for all undergraduate students or only for new incoming students. If tuition is increased for all undergraduates, it would go up incrementally over the next five years by the rate of inflation. If the university decides to raise tuition only for

Artists share ideas on ‘artivism,’ AB5 ARTS ALLIANCE

WENDY WEITZEL Special to The Enterprise

S

ince 2015, Arts Alliance Davis has united area artists and arts lovers, offering a forum for collaboration and sharing. That networking has evolved into a vibrant support community, clearly on display at its Jan. 16 meeting.

This gathering of nearly 30 joined forces at the Davis Arts Center. Arts Alliance Davis meets every other month, at rotating venues. It unites artists, civic and arts organizations, businesses, patrons and other community arts supporters. The meetings are open to anyone.

This time, the group discussed two main issues: using art for activism, and a new state law’s impact on artists as independent contractors.

Artist Danielle Fodor asked the group for ideas for working together to magnify their voices on issues like climate change and immigration. She quoted author Toni Cade Bambara: “It is the role of the artist to make the revolution irresistible.”

Fodor suggested the need for a shared space to store banners, stencils and other items for reuse.

She wants to create a list of interested individuals with a desire to create social impact through art, and discuss actions and opportunities over a potluck meal. She was part of a similar group as a graduate student but it dissolved after people moved away.

“Is there a structure we could create that would survive the transient nature of Davis?” Fodor asked, referring to the academic town.

Shelly Gilbride, executive director of International House, Davis, said she sees a need to explore the global issues of our time — as long as the process is inclusive. She said the term “artivism” is a popular one, but “revolution” connotes progressive left, and we shouldn’t assume that everyone who lives in

the area is liberal.

“Is it open to all perspectives?”

Gilbride asked, stressing the need to “bring all sides in, in an open and welcoming way.”

Autumn Labbé-Renault, chair of Arts Alliance Davis, generated an email list for those interested in continuing the discussion. “I personally love that the Arts Alliance is a perfect place, and great way to address things like this.”

Gilbride led the next topic: How Assembly Bill 5, which went into effect Jan. 1, impacts artists as independent contractors, and affects the organizations that hire them. The law addresses the employment status of workers when businesses claim them as independent contractors instead of employees. The definitions are confusing, as some professions are carved out of the law, and standards vary. A cleanup bill, AB 1850, is in the works.

While the Employment Development Department is the compliance agency, she said the best answers on the subject are on the Labor and Workforce Development Agency website, https:// www.labor.ca.gov/employmentstatus/. A fact sheet compiled by Gilbride will be distributed to the Arts Alliance Davis email list. Californians for the Arts is also a great source of updates about how the new legislation impacts the arts community: https://www. californiansforthearts.org/blog.

Rachel Hartsough, the city of Davis’ arts and culture manager, said it’s satisfying to see the Arts Alliance bring the community together — for big ideas and lots of support. Some came to announce their projects and programs. One artist showed up for the first time, nervous and looking for a mentor.

“It’s so gratifying to see the evolution (of the group) and new people coming each time we gather,” Hartsough said.

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer The Woodland Police Department announced Friday the launch of a newly formed task force and reward fund that seeks to curb gang violence and identify suspects in a recent series of unsolved homicides.

In a video posted to the department’s Facebook page, Woodland police Sgt. Francisco DeLeon said the Gang Task Force was “created to investigate and combat gang crime in the city of Woodland,” with local and state agencies invited to partner in that effort.

The agency also is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information

leading to the arrests of suspects in the recent spate of shooting homicides — three in the city since October.

“The Woodland Police Department and the community as a whole will not tolerate gang crime in the city of Woodland,” DeLeon said, noting that the task force’s operations begin “effective immediately.”

Woodland has been plagued over the past few months by the suspected gang-related shootings, several of which have resulted in injuries and deaths. The homicides victims have included: ■ Alvaro Gamera, 16, of Esparto, fatally shot on Oct. 21 at North and East streets. Two other victims

Special to The Enterprise Michelle Famula will moderate a candidate forum Jan. 26 for an open Davis seat on the Yolo County Board of Supervisors.

The free event will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Davis City Council Chambers, 23 Russell Blvd. It is co-sponsored by the Davis Area League of Women Voters and CivEnergy. RSVP at Eventbrite at https:// bit.ly/2TqshTM or on Facebook at https://bit.ly/2RginBl. Famula moved to Davis with her husband Tom in the summer of 1981.

just like me, want to know what they are voting for.”

A family medicine doctor and former director of UC Davis Student Health and Counseling Services, Famula worked for UC Davis for 35 years before she retired in 2016. She dropped out of the League in the late 1980’s to focus on work and raising three children, but rejoined when the organization restarted last year.

“I count on the League to advise me of ballot issues and candidates in a nonpartisan, factual way so I can make decisions that reflect my values and support my community,” Famula said. “It’s a genuine privilege … to be able to similarly support and educate others to do the same.”

Candidates will answer questions on criminal justice reform to cannabis regulation, homelessness, affordable housing and a the county’s unfunded liabilities.

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer The Yolo County Sheriff’s Office and the Davis Police Department have issued warnings about a telephone scam in which the caller claims there is a warrant out for the victim’s arrest and demands money to clear up the matter.

Davis police say they took a report Thursday in which a woman was scammed out of $400 after receiving one of these calls, during which the caller purported to be from the Yolo County Sheriff’s Office and used the name of a real Yolo County judge. When the woman called the number back, the voicemail message claimed she

(530) 760-6 760-6625 6625 www.LorainDesign.com

had reached the “Yolo County sheriff.”

“The number was investigated and it turned out to be a VOIP number (Voice over Internet Protocol) and not a real telephone number,” Davis police posted on their Facebook page. The the real Sheriff ’s Office number is 530-668-5280.

“Bottom line: you will not be contacted via telephone regarding outstanding warrants in your name,” Davis police said on Facebook, adding that people should never give out money over the phone. If you think you might be the target of a phone scam, hang up and contact local authorities.

State approves Marrone’s new biofungicide Special to The Enterprise Marrone Bio Innovations Inc., a Davis-based maker of sustainable bioprotection and plant health solutions, today announced that its patented Bacillus biofungicide, Stargus, has been fully reviewed by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation and approved for immediate use by growers in California on several crops, including grapes, leafy greens, brassicas, strawberries, cucurbits and fruiting vegetables.

The approval of Stargus in California marks a milestone in providing innovative solutions for growers across the United States.

Stargus has already been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and is registered for

use in all 50 states; Washington, D.C.; Puerto Rico; Mexico; and Canada. Marrone Bio is currently in the process of registering the product in several other countries internationally as well.

Stargus is currently being sold by MBI’s channel distributors in the United States. The company says recent studies conducted by distribution partners in California showed that Stargus outperformed direct competitors, paving the way for a rapid adoption by Californian growers looking for higher performance.

The active ingredient in Stargus has multiple modes of action, including boosting the innate ability of the plant to defend itself and the direct anti-fungal and

anti-bacterial effects of the natural compounds produced in fermentation by the bacteria. Additionally, Stargus is exempt from maximum residue limits and has a zero-day preharvest interval — giving growers flexibility into how they schedule labor and applications, while providing protection to crops right up to the day of harvest.

“Trials conducted in the U.S., and specifically in California, have proven Stargus increases crop yields and quality by controlling a variety of plant diseases, including downy mildew, white molds and Botrytis gray mold’’ said Kevin Hammill, chief commercial officer at MBI. ‘‘Stargus used alone outperformed the biological

standards and is competitive with the current growers’ crop protection chemical standards. In a BioUnite program, Stargus is consistently a top performer when incorporated into program with the current chemical standards.’’ ‘‘Stargus is another example of how we leverage our existing library of 18,000-plus micro-organisms and 350 plant extracts, addressing the $16.3 billion global fungicide market1,’’ added Dr. Pam Marrone, MBI founder and CEO. ‘‘Our teams specifically screened for a product that would bring new modes of action to the Bacillus product market and be highly effective on an array of diseases such as downy mildew and white mold.’’

Yolo Hospice appoints new medical director Special to The Enterprise Yolo Hospice announced Thursday the appointment of Dr. Kristina Cade as its new Medical Director. As medical director, Cade is responsible for the review and certification of patient referrals to hospice and the oversight of patients’ medical care and treatment plans.

TUITION: Law-school degrees could see additional increases From Page A1 new students, the increase would also be applied over a five-year period but would be more substantial.

The potential increase for new arrivals only would mark the first time UC has implemented what it is calling “cohort-based tuition.”

Under this plan, tuition would stay the same for all current UC students who remain enrolled. For incoming students, tuition would increase by the rate of inflation, plus 2% in 2020, 1.5% in 2021, 1% in 2022, 0.5% in 2023, and by the rate of inflation in 2024. The university estimates the inflationbased increase would be $348, a rise of about 2.8%.

With campus fees included, UC undergraduates currently pay an average of $14,022 per year, including the system-wide tuition of $12,570. With the tuition increase, undergraduate fees

would be projected to rise to $14,670 per year for California residents and to nearly $50,000 per year for out-of-state students.

The regents will also consider raising the supplementary tuition applied to some professional degrees at law schools at UC Davis, UC Berkeley, UCLA and UC Irvine as well as at the UC Irvine and UC San Diego business schools. Tuition would rise annually for these programs through 2023-24.

If the plan is approved, tuition for a year of law school at UC Davis and the other three campuses next year would average more than $37,000 for California residents.

The proposed tuition hike comes despite a funding increase from the state announced last week. California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s budget plan for 2020-21 proposes a $217.7 million General Fund increase for UC campuses

Pérez and UC President Janet Napolitano applauded Newsom’s budget, saying in a statement that it “reflects an ongoing commitment to higher education.”

In the document released this week, the UC Office of the President states that much of the additional tuition students would be paying will find its way back into students’ accounts, especially low and middle-income California residents. “The proposed plan

Henning Bruett, longtime resident of Davis, passed away peacefully on New Year’s Day at the Carlton Plaza after a long bout with COPD and cancer.

Hank was born in Brunsbüttel-Koog, a small coastal town in Germany on the North Sea. He was the youngest of three boys. At the age of 19, with $40 in his pocket and not knowing a word of English, Hank crossed the Atlantic on a freighter to seek his fortune in the New World. Once in New York, Hank boarded a greyhound bus across the U.S. to the Bay Area to live with his uncle and begin his new adventure.

He worked for PG&E, SMUD and Valley Elevator before becoming a successful real estate investor and running an electrical contracting business.

He met and married Rhoda Covington while

working for PG&E in Solano County.

Hank was kind to everyone, had an infectious positive attitude and strong work ethic. His life philosophy was contained in the mantras “enjoy every day and each other”,” attitude is everything” and “never go to bed mad”.

He was preceded in death by the love of his life, his wife of 63 years, Rhoda. He is survived by his sons Brooks (Kelly) and Jeff (Donna); and grandchildren Max, Scott and Ashley.

He will be remembered with great fondness by all who knew him.

A Memorial Service followed by a reception will begin at 2:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 24, at Davis Community Church, 412 C St. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St Jude’s Children’s Hospital or Davis Community Church.

would generate additional funding for student financial aid that would reduce the net cost of attendance for more than one-half of UC California resident undergraduates,” the university says.

Currently, about a third of all UC students benefit from the state’s Cal Grant program, which covers the full cost of in-state tuition for low and middleincome students. The university says the tuition hike will generate funding to increase the number of these grants it provides.

“Tuition is the single largest driver of the amount of needbased grant assistance available to California resident undergraduates,” the university stated.

“When these charges increase, so does the amount of students’ Cal Grant awards.”

Dr. James Addison Cheney Feb. 2, 1927 — Nov. 22, 2019

Dr. James Addison Cheney, a professor emeritus of civil engineering at UC Davis, was the first faculty member in the department of civil engineering who brought a diverse technical background which allowed him to teach a wide range of academic disciplines including civil, aerospace and mechanical engineering, died on Nov. 22, 2019, at home in Davis.

He was 92 years old.

Dr. Cheney was the founding director of the Center for Geotechnical Modeling at UC Davis and known for his dry wit, generously mentoring the research of more than 100 graduate students and working with 50 different faculty members. His wide range of interests included geotechnical modeling for earthquakes at NASA’s Ames Research Center and Lawrence Livermore National Labs, sheathing materials for satellites and aircraft at Lockheed, peaceful uses of atomic energy through project Plow Shares; and diagnosing the causes and mitigation of racehorse bone fractures with the UC Davis Veterinary School.

Dr. Cheney was recognized as a prominent engineer but also as an intellectually generous scholar. When asked by the United Nations and the Italian government to diagnose the causes and approach for the renovation of the “Leaning Tower of Pisa,” he agreed. After initial analysis, he determined the cause of the famous tilting is due to “basic physics” of the tower being “too thin in proportion to its height; it is like balancing a pencil on a table.” When asked why he had not announced his discovery while attending

the national conference, he said, “The problem was simple when understood. There were plenty of Italian colleagues who cared and plenty of credit to go around.” The Italian national press release had more than 50 prominent scientists named, along with Dr. Cheney, solving the mystery and enabling the conservation of the iconic tower.

James Addison Cheney was born in West Los Angeles on Feb. 2, 1927, to Burton Cheney and Esther Cheney. His father was a hardware store owner in West Los Angeles. His mother was a practicing nurse. Jim grew up in a simpler West Los Angeles beach community attending Hamilton High School.

In World War II, from 1945 to 1946, Jim served in the U.S. Navy as a petty officer in the 12th District Navy Headquarters, stationed in San Francisco. Returning to Los Angeles, he attended UCLA, where he met and married Frankyee Jane Jackson of Santa Monica, also attending UCLA. Jim was granted a bachelor’s degree in 1949 and then continued to work for the UCLA department of engineering research. In 1952, he was granted a master’s degree from UCLA in civil engineering.

Jim and family fully enjoyed the informal university lifestyle in Los Angeles.

Following graduation, he joined L.T. Evans, Foundation Engineers in Los Angeles, for two years as a licensed civil engineer in the State of California.

He then joined the Lockheed Missile Systems Division in Sunnyvale. Moving to

Betty Anne Nelson Feb. 6, 1930 — Nov. 26, 2019

Betty Anne Nelson died November 26, 2019 at the age of 89, a 30-year resident at Meadow Wood Apartments in Davis.

Betty Anne Schmidt was born to Hugo and Hedwig (Hadie) Schmidt, Feb. 6, 1930, in Davenport, Iowa, with older brother Richard and two older sisters, Suzanne (Sally) and JoAnne.

She attended grade school through high school in Davenport and attended one year at MacMurray College in Jacksonville, Ill. Betty Anne married John William (Bill) Nelson, Feb.17, 1951, and they were together 56 years. Betty Anne was a loving mother of three children, Richard (b. 1953), David (b. 1954) and Betsy (b. 1955). When asked her greatest joy, Betty Anne said “My joy was

spending time with my children!”

She loved being a homemaker, wife and mother.

Betty worked where she enjoyed interacting with the public, including as a buyer for The Little Stone House, Davenport Visiting Nurses Association, as president of the New Neighbors Association in Saratoga and as a sales representative at a gift shop in Woodland.

Betty Anne is survived by her three children, two grandchildren and one great-grandchild, as well as her brother, one sister, two nephews, three nieces, two great-nephews, two great-nieces and two great-great-nieces.

Betty Anne will be interred with her husband at a private ceremony on Feb. 6 at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery.

Saratoga, he became head of the Strength Analysis Group on the Agena Satellite. In 1959, he won a Lockheed scholarship to pursue graduate studies in engineering mechanics at Stanford University.

His Ph.D. was awarded in 1963.

In 1962, he joined UC Davis’ new School of Engineering as its first faculty member. His distinct background enabled the new department to teach a myriad of subjects from engineering mechanics to aeronautical sciences.

He was one of the early leaders of the development of geotechnical centrifuges.

He was the founding director of the Center for Geotechnical and Seismic Modeling at UC Davis and was the principal investigator to build the National Geotechnical Centrifuge at NASA Ames. Under his direction, the large centrifuge was later moved and installed at UCD. Throughout his extensive career, he authored over 50 published papers, 40 lectures, among other technical reviews. His professional contributions led to his being named a Fellow of Emmanuel College at Cambridge University in England.

He had three marriages. He is survived by his wife, Elaine Barrett, with whom he lived in Davis and two sons, Michael Cheney and David Cheney, with his second wife Barbara Chadwick. Jim’s four daughters and two sons, Linanne Spangler, Sarah Worley-Cheney, Sharla Cheney and Jennifer Douglas; John Cheney and Matthew Cheney are from his first marriage with Frankyee Jackson (deceased

1966). His brother, Phil Cheney, preceded him in death.

Jim’s legacy continues with 10 grandchildren: Renee and Brett (Sarah), Lucas and Bryson (John), Mara and Evan (Sharla), Maggie and Jackson (Linanne), Trevor (Jennifer), Ali (Matt); and two great-grandchildren, Caleb (Trevor) and Summer (Maggie).

Jim was married to Elaine Barratt for the last 31 years of his life. They were fond of traveling extensively to many of their favorite destinations, including Paris, Hawaii, Colorado and Arizona. They also enjoyed being active members of the Davis community including the Davis Odd Fellows and St. Martins Episcopal Church.

Jim was also an avid San Francisco Giants fan throughout his life.

Jim had profound faith, combining theology and science. Jim was a deacon in the Episcopal Church in Davis and the Arch Diocese in Northern California. He also was a Boy Scout leader having been awarded the highest adult honor, the Silver Beaver Award, for leadership. Jim was known to be playful and charming; whether at a Harry Potter-themed wedding in Virginia or at a political event, exploring new ideas, new relationships and new interests. Jim was a devout defender of science, theology and common decency.

Cremation services were held privately in December.

The “Celebration of James Cheney’s Life” will be held from noon to 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 2, at the Odd Fellows Hall 415 Second St. in Davis; it is open to all friends and family. He will be missed.

Please, don’t drink and drive.

FRERICHS: SACOG board member since 2014 From Page A1 airport land uses.

Member counties include El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba with representatives of those counties as well as the cities within them serving on the SACOG board.

In addition to Frerichs, who has been a SACOG board member since 2014, other local representatives on the board include Yolo County Supervisor Don Saylor of Davis, Woodland City Councilman Tom Stallard, Winters City Councilman Pierre Neu and West Sacramento Mayor Christopher Cabaldon.

Frerichs, who was first elected to the Davis City Council in 2012, is running for re-election in the newly formed District 3, which will be on the November ballot. So far he faces one announced challenger,

Larry Guenther, a resident of the Old East Davis neighborhood who previously ran for City Council in 2018 in what was the city’s final at-large council election.

A SACOG press release last week announcing Frerich’s election as board chair described him as “a leading regional voice f or smart growth, multimodal transportation, public safety, economic development and environmental sustainability.”

In addition to his seats on the SACOG board and Davis City Council, Frerichs also serves on the governing boards of several other local agencies, including the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority, Yolo County Transportation District and Valley Clean Energy.

In assuming his SACOG chairmanship last week,

Frerichs said, “I’ve really attempted to dig in and contribute during my first six years on the SACOG board, and I’m thrilled to serve as chair in 2020.

“The SACOG board is the place our region’s elected officials come together to work on a variety of issues from transportation, air quality and natural resources to housing and regional economic competitiveness. It is through SACOG’s regional collaboration that we are able to harness all the opportunity and diversity the region has to offer and continue to make this the best place to live, raise a family or grow a business,” said Frerichs.

“I look forward to representing the city of Davis and the region on these vital issues.”

Decisions by the SACOG board have some significant

impacts on residents of Davis and Yolo County, including the amount of housing that jurisdictions in the six-county region are required to provide as well as millions of dollars in grant funding for transportation projects.

More than $7 million in SACOG grants will help fund the I-80/Richards Boulevard interchange improvement project which aims to improve traffic flow along that corridor in Davis, while nearly $3 million in grants will fund the Electrify Yolo Project, which will install vehicle charging stations throughout the county and pay for an electric bus to serve Davis.

SACOG is also funding the County Road 32A Railroad Crossing Relocation Study which will determine the feasibility of moving that crossing closer to the

Yolo Causeway. Union Pacific has sought to close the crossing due to safety issues but the city of Davis and Yolo County have fought the move given Road 32A’s importance for local travel.

SACOG grant funding also paid for the Mace Boulevard bicycle safety and traffic calming project completed last year — a project which a number of South Davis residents have dubbed the “Mace Mess” and which continues to be a work in progress as city staff and consultants work on design plans for eliminating some elements believed to have increased traffic congestion on that corridor.

POLL: President retains support with state Republicans From Page A1 announced his new plans on homelessness, although after President Trump has repeatedly lambasted California for allowing the problem to worsen.

“I don’t think its something that’s coming up because they’re reading about it or because the president has tweeted about,” said Baldassare. “It’s on people’s minds because they’re seeing it in their daily lives.”

Homelessness is not a new problem in California, but data collected by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development suggests it has grown more acute in recent years. At last count, more than 150,000 Californians are now living in their cars, in shelters or on the sidewalks and below freeway underpasses — more than at any time since at least 2007.

Other poll findings ■ Good news for (this year’s) Prop. 13: Among respondents, 53% said that they would vote for a ballot measure authorizing the state to borrow $15 billion to expand and revamp school and university facilities earn.

That’s not a huge buffer of support for backers of Prop. 13 (mostly building trade groups and teachers unions). But although support for

■ Newsom back on top (narrowly): A slim majority (51%) of Californians surveyed approve of Gov. Newson, as do a plurality of likely voters (with 49% approving and 42% disapproving).

That’s good news for the governor:

In the last two Public Policy Institute surveys, Newsom was underwater, with disapproval exceeding his approval.

■ The Bernie surge is real: Consistent with other public polls, this one validates news of a bump in Sanders’ support across California.

He held the support of 27% of likely voters surveyed — an

increase of 10 percentage points since November.

Coming in just behind Sanders were Biden (24%) and Warren (23%). Today’s poll also reaffirmed that Sanders’ base skews young. Of voters between 18 and 45 years old, 45% are backing Bernie and 39% believe he is the candidate most likely to beat Trump.

■ California Republicans are different: President Trump remains popular with the vast majority of California Republican likely voters. But the same can’t be said of some of his signature policies.

Sixty-two percent of GOP respondents said they support protecting undocumented immigrants who came to the country as children from deportation. And 60% say they generally agree that undocumented immigrants of all kinds should be allowed to remain in the country. Another 18% oppose the president’s border wall proposal.

And with an impeachment trial looming, 11% believe that the U.S. Senate should remove Trump from office.

Other speakers included parents Lupita Torres and Cecilia EscamillaGreenwald, who described various ways that the proposed South Davis Library and Education Center would benefit students in that part of town.

Elsewhere on the agenda:

Ethnic studies task force ■ Assistant Superintendent Rody Boonchouy announced the formation of a school district task force to make recommendations to the school board regarding a district-wide ethnic studies program, and called for community volunteers to serve on this new task force.

Boonchouy also reviewed the growing interest in ethnic studies among California educators during recent

decades, as well as state legislation regarding ethnic studies in recent years.

Melissa Moreno — a Davis parent, a professor of ethnic studies at Woodland Community College and a member of the Yolo County Board of Education — expressed “gratitude and appreciation” to the Davis school board trustees “for looking at this topic.”

Parent and community activist Jann MurrayGarcía suggested that the school board should make taking an ethnic studies course one of the requirements for high school graduation in the Davis public school system.

Boonchouy went over recent tweaks and enhancements in the way the Dashboard displays statistics on indicators ranging from proficiency in English and in math, academic performance by English Learners and foster children, graduation rates, chronic absenteeism, suspensions, college and career indicators.

Special to The Enterprise The Davis Friends Meeting will host a talk

by Professor Ben Houlton, Director of the John Muir Institute of the Environment at UC Davis at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 23, at 345 L St. Houlton will talk on “The Science of Climate Change and What We Can Do.” He compares what needs to be done with climate change as being as complicated, if not more so, than the push in the 1960s to land a man on the moon.

His goals are lofty, but his immediate projects are specific and tangible.

One of his first initiatives as director of the John Muir Institute, OneClimate, is an interdisciplinary project to bring campus centers and institutes together to focus on the science of climate change, the mitigation of greenhouse gases, and plant and animal adaptation.

Houlton’s talk is the first in a monthly six-part series on climate change that is sponsored by the Davis Friends Meeting.

Subsequent programs will cover specific topics such as the “Green Moo Deal” and “Capitalism and Climate Change.”

Every place is the center of the universe T

here’s a certain charm to people’s belief that where they live is the center of the universe. It’s only natural, especially when you’re young, to think that your hometown is where everything important and meaningful happens.

One recent example took place over winter break when our younger son, a college sophomore, told us he just realized that Sudwerk is not one of the “four big beer companies.” You know, Anheuser-Busch, Miller, Corona and Sudwerk. He’s seen the locally brewed beer in our house for most of his life, so he just assumed it was world-wide.

Another charming illustration comes from my husband’s dad, who grew up in New Orleans.

Soon after arriving at the University of Maryland for graduate school, he said he asked fellow students where Baltimore’s French Quarter was. Because

why wouldn’t every city have a French Quarter?

By far the craziest center-ofthe-universe example occurred right after my husband, S, and I moved to Richmond, Va. After S attended grad school at UC Davis, his first career position took us to Virginia Commonwealth University, and the capital of the Confederacy.

I had completed the work for my K-6 teaching credential right before we left California. I thought I might want to teach in Richmond, so I went to the Virginia Department of Education

to see what was required to get a Virginia credential. I was told that Virginia had a list of states whose teaching credentials were accepted outright, and California was one of them. Thus, I simply needed to show that I was certified to teach in California.

Easy-peasy! (This was in the mid-1990s, and maybe they do things differently now.)

Very soon after, S and I were at a party thrown by some new friends. As we were mingling and talking to people about what we thought of our time in Richmond so far, I relayed the story about being pleasantly surprised that I didn’t have to take any extra courses if I wanted to be a teacher in Virginia. “I think it’s a bit strange, though,” I told the group, “that I didn’t even have to prove I know anything about Virginia state history yet could be a fourth-grade teacher.”

A few people nodded,

murmuring surprise. But one young woman said, “Well, don’t you remember Virginia state history from when you were in fourth grade?”

“No,” I explained, “I grew up in California.”

This appeared to clear up nothing, so I elaborated. “Therefore I took California state history in the fourth grade.”

To which she responded — I swear this is true — “Ohhhh, I thought everyone took Virginia state history in fourth grade and learned about the rest of the country in fifth grade.”

It was such a fabulous indoctrination into how Richmonders saw themselves, and there were plenty of examples that surprised S and I in our next three years as Virginians. Most were centered on the same theme — America started here, so we are what matters most in the country.

I don’t mean to make fun of

this woman’s love of her home state — I find it very sweet that people elevate the importance and impact of where they’re from.

Having grown up in the Los Angeles area, I was completely under the belief that SoCal was the axis around which all other places orbited. To be fair, I wasn’t totally wrong, if you consider all the things where SoCal really does set the trends. But even I didn’t think the other 49 states spent their fourth grade history instruction exclusively on California.

I mean, can you just picture Minnesotans making sugar-cube Spanish missions?

CWC reflects our county’s character

BY CRAIG DRESANG Special to The Enterprise

“C

itizens Who Care (CWC) changed our life during a traumatic and scary time. When someone you love is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease or dementia, you are suddenly and unwillingly pushed into uncharted territory.

The program has been a lifesaver,” according to Ken Malone, a beneficiary of the program’s Saturday Club.

“I don’t know what we would do without CWC and the outstanding people who have surrounded us with love and support,” says Malone. “I have researched other programs, and have realized that there is not another community program quite like Citizens Who Care in our region.”

Every day, over 108 million Americans are caring for a loved one with a serious illness. That means one-third of the country carries the stress of simultaneously juggling the day-to-day demands of work and family while managing the burden of caring for someone who is in a final or vulnerable phase of their life.

Living with, and tending to, someone with a life-limiting illness stretches people spiritually, physically, and emotionally ... often beyond what they might have thought possible. Dr. Arthur Kleinman, a professor of psychiatry and anthropology at Harvard University, calls this “enduring the unendurable.”

Kleinman says, “A patient’s illness usually jumps into the life of the caregiver or family, meaning that the caregiver and patient have feelings and emotions that feed into each other.”

These feelings are the cost of caring for someone. “It’s called compassion fatigue. You don’t know what it is, what it is called, but it is the emotional and physical burden created by caring for others in distress,” Kleinman explains. In fact, the most recent research shows that 25-35

YOLO HOSPICE & CWC percent of caregivers become clinically depressed or anxious.

Moreover, 30 percent of caregivers die before those they are caring for die. They are often illprepared for their role and provide care with little or no support while suffering from poor health themselves.

Caregiving can be a part or full-time job. Caregivers may live close to, far away from, or in the same home as the person they are caring for. Additionally, they can provide help with a few tasks or be almost entirely responsible for the care of a friend or loved one.

As Kleinman points out, “It’s easy to burn out. Preventing burnout is done through selfcare.” Accessing support through programs like CWC can be an important part of taking care of yourself.

For the caregiver, symptoms often present as feelings of irritability, ongoing frustration, a sense of worthlessness and prolonged periods of sadness. For people suffering from compassion fatigue, it is common for them to isolate themselves and to disconnect from others around them, including their own family.

The Mission of Citizens Who Care is to improve the quality of life for Yolo County adults and their caregivers. Founded more than 40 years ago by a small group of women, the organization

began as an advisory committee to the Mental Health Association of Yolo County. Their early vision was to focus on a one-onone visitation program in convalescent hospitals and an in-home respite visiting program.

Eventually, the CWC board decided to expand services to include a program called “Time Off For Caregivers” which eventually morphed into an offering now known as “The Saturday Club.” Then, in July of 2018, CWC’s board unanimously voted to merge the organization into Yolo Hospice while simultaneously providing $235,000 in seed money to build an adult day care program on Galileo Court in Davis.

Today, a total of $450,000 has been secured for the construction and development of a $750,000 facility that has been designed by Unger Architects and will be built by A.P. Thomas Construction. An additional $250,000 is being raised for the creation of a community healing garden that will serve adult day care participants as well as bereavement clients.

Each year, CWC relies on the goodwill and service of 100 community volunteers to carry out its mission. In 2019, these volunteers provided 3,292 hours of service to clients and caregivers, and an additional 1,432 hours of support for The Saturday Club.

For several years, the Davis Chapter of the National Charity League — a mother/daughter service organization — has provided volunteers as well as food for the Saturday Club. Other

Saturday Club volunteers and participants enjoy their time together.

Every other week the club meets at the Davis Senior Center. The club will eventually meet weekly when it moves to a new space on Galileo Court, following the construction of a new adult day care center.

Deadline extended on Golden Heart awards Special to The Enterprise The city of Davis’ annual Golden Heart award nomination period for 2020 has been extended to Jan. 30.

In memory of Andrew Mockus, who was killed by his peers in 1992, the city of Davis Recreation and Park Commission expanded its commitment to the youths of the Davis community. Through public forums, various issues were discussed as to how the community could better meet the needs of teens in the community.

One of the Commission recommendations was to develop an annual Golden Heart Award as a way to recognize outstanding youth in the community, especially those students who are not typically recognized in other forums.

“Each year the City Council is honored to acknowledge the outstanding accomplishments of the youth in Davis,” Mayor Brett Lee said. “The Golden Heart award is a meaningful way to recognize those who serve our

“Each year the City Council is honored to acknowledge the outstanding accomplishments of the youth in Davis.”

Brett Lee Davis mayor community and to those who display resiliency despite challenging circumstances.”

There are two different categories within the award: the service award and the personal challenge award.

The service award recognizes individuals who have given significant service to an expressed need in the community, to their peers or to their school. The personal challenge award recognizes individuals who have overcome a significant

challenge in their life. Both of these awards hope to represent youth who are the “non-traditional achievers”.

Nomination forms are available at http://cityofdavis.org/about-davis/ community-awards/golden-heartaward-nominations. Anyone (other than one’s self or one’s parent) is welcome to nominate a deserving Davis youth who is currently in the seventh through 12th grades.

Nominations are due no later than 5 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 30, by email to cdyer@cityofdavis.org; by mail to City of Davis Golden Heart Awards – ATT: Carrie Dyer, 23 Russell Blvd., Davis, CA 95616; or dropped off to City Hall, City Clerk’s Office Public Counter, 23 Russell Blvd.

Missing Friend During Dark Time Dear Annie: There is a friend that I met through a place that I used to work, and we stayed friends after we no longer worked together. We would text every few days. I’ve been to her house for holidays; I’ve met her husband, son and daughter. They’re a nice family. She lives in a beautiful house.

I am not married; I have no kids and no family. Lately, my life has been falling apart. I am unemployed. I am facing foreclosure on my house. I’ve got bills backing up, and my ex-boyfriend moved out with his 50-year-old daughter and never paid me a penny toward bills.

Recently, my friend and I were texting back and forth, and I asked if she had ever been in dire straights. All she said was “Yes.” OK, I thought, if she doesn’t want to talk about it, that’s fine.

So a little later, I continued texting her about other things, but she didn’t reply.

I left messages and got no call back from her. I even mailed her a letter by post.

Should I reach out to her anymore? Is she ghosting me? Should I consider this friendship over?

— Dumped Friend Dear Dumped Friend: Your friend might have gotten nervous that you were on the verge of asking her for money, and perhaps she didn’t want to make you uncomfortable by turning you down. Or maybe your texts just made her feel guilty about her own situation.

Possibly, she’s just dealing with pressing personal issues of her own.

Whatever her reasons might be, I urge you to put all that aside for the time being. Foreclosure, debt, a breakup — these are major life stressors. While a friend can emotionally support you as you sort through such tough problems,

acknowledging the occasion. No flowers for my wife — especially on our anniversary or birthday — nothing, nada, zilch.

I used to remind him that his mother’s birthday or anniversary was coming up.

Eventually, I realized that he was a grown man and not a little boy anymore.

(Sometimes, it takes me a while to realize things!)

Recently, my wife and I had an argument concerning this situation. My feeling: We should send a card but forget the check. My wife still wants to send our hard-earned money to these two middle-aged people who, in my opinion, don’t appreciate what we have been doing all these years.

— Frustrated Father Dear Frustrated Father: Are you giving gifts to your children because you expect something in return or because you want to give to them? Ask yourself whether it feels good to send these presents to your son and daughter-in-law.

No matter the age of the person receiving the gift, it is nice to be a contribution. That is my guess as to why your wife still wants to send the check. You are correct that in a perfect world, a son and daughter-in-law would always acknowledge their mother’s and father’s birthdays. But who knows what is going on in their lives.

Instead of reminding him that it is his mother’s birthday, directly tell your son that he should get your wife a present or send a card for her birthday. Or have a frank discussion on gift expectations.

Remember, no one is perfect, and sometimes even grown children need gentle reminders from their parents on the right way to act.

Stunning views from the cockpit

BY GEORGE MEDOVOY Special to The Enterprise

T

omer Zadok sees the world from a commanding position that others can only dream of.

The 56-year-old El Al Israel Airlines pilot, who flew the Boeing 787 Dreamliner on its inaugural Tel Aviv-San Francisco flight, uses his camera to capture stunning photographs of the world from high in the sky.

He takes most of his photos from the pilot’s seat when the aircraft is in its cruising level and autopilot is activated or when he is seated behind the other two pilots in control of the aircraft at that time.

His interest in photography stems from a love of cameras dating to his childhood and his experience as a Cobra helicopter pilot in the Israeli Air Force.

“Everyone holding a camera sees different things in his lens frame,” Tomer says. But for the imaginative pilot, it’s principally the “shapes and patterns” that mostly appeal to him.

His images, currently displayed on Instagram (@tomerz9), illustrate his special relationship with a reality hidden away from ordinary view: sunset and sunrise, storms and streaks of lightning, birds in magical flight, objects on the ground transformed into abstract art forms — all memorable moments in time.

And then there are the colors: “I am fascinated by colors,” he says. “The combination of colors fascinates me….”

Illustrating this point, he refers to his photograph of a sunrise, in which two contrasting bands of yellow and orange, simply titled “Good Morning,” astonishingly reveal nature’s magic.

“To get such a photo,” Tomer says, “you just need to be lucky and patient… because you can sit for many, many hours and days and you won’t catch such a thing. It’s a matter of the exact moment you push the camera and the exact angle…

“If two people would have been there with the same camera, at the same

place and time, the same second…I’m not so sure they could have achieved the same photo. How did I get it? I was patient enough because of the conditions, because of the angle, because of the speed.”

The pilot then delves into the technicalities of photographing a sunrise or a sunset. “You know,” he says, “when you photograph a sunrise, it’s much more difficult because it happens much faster than when you photograph a sunset.

“This is the result of the direction the Earth is turning. When you fly east, actually you are flying against the direction the earth is turning, and the relative ground speed is much faster. If you are flying west, actually you are flying with the direction of how the earth is turning.”

Thus, it takes more time to photograph a sunset — sometimes as much as 10 or 20 minutes — “until the sun can get below the horizon and vanish.”

On the subject of color, Tomer has photographed what he terms “an amazing photo of the aurora.” “It’s very rare to see even when we fly,” he says. “We see it from time to time.” But what usually shows up is an almost unnoticeable green color. Sometimes, however, you get lucky and “you get an amazing full green sky.”

Then there are the storm clouds, unseen from the ground, which sometimes resemble “an atomic bomb.”

Reflecting on helicopter flying, he calls it a “totally different experience … The colors, the flowers, the animals … it’s a totally different experience … It’s the most beautiful kind of flying.”

Tomer at first used a small pocket camera and sometimes even a simple cell phone before the advent of smart phones.

Today, he uses a Canon SLR camera, which is useful for producing highresolution enlargements.

The veteran pilot, who earned an MBA degree and worked successfully in corporate marketing before joining El Al in 2005, is “always in a kind of search for patterns, for shapes and colors, which makes some of the pictures

One of his favorite photos, dating from his earliest days of cockpit photography, is a lowresolution image of Dijon mustard fields in France — an abstract view he managed to capture with a cell phone camera.

Of course, shooting photographs that take on an abstract quality is very different from shooting a standing monument like the London Bridge, for example. The abstract is “something that you create in your imagination … you take the frame and you point the camera the way you want the photo to look.”

One of the areas the pilot enjoys photographing is the coast of Long Island, N.Y. “It is very, very interesting and full of nature,” he says. Usually, El Al’s day flight approaches New York around three in the afternoon, and with the sunset in front of the aircraft, “this makes a colorful and beautiful photo.”

Here and there among his photographs are reminders that his point of reference is the cockpit of an airplane, where he can share “the beauty of flight.”

One of the nicest illustrations of this fact is his nighttime view of Santa Monica through the cockpit window while approaching Los Angeles International Airport from

Another beautiful city shot is a daytime view of Hong Kong harbor, where the pilot captured an utterly pristine moment topped by a few misty clouds. With the wind blowing in an easterly direction and the Dreamliner taking off from the east, “after three minutes, you are opposite the harbor, and you can take such a picture.”

Of course, his photos wouldn’t be complete if he

hadn’t included dramatic aerial views of Tel Aviv, the 24-hour city he lovingly calls home. “There are very few cities that go around the clock, and Tel Aviv is one of them,” he says, adding that among international air crews, Tel Aviv is a very popular destination.

He lists the city’s attractions, including its weather, the sea and boardwalk, the markets and museums, and, of course, the food. “It’s a mixture of many, many attractive subjects, and the people are nice — that’s the most important thing.”

Among Tomer’s photographs are also images

from helicopter outings with friends in California – something he calls “private flying” and a “social hobby.” Some of these images include carpets of colorful poppies in California’s Antelope Valley.

But no matter what his subject or whether he is flying a Dreamliner or a helicopter, Tomer Zadok’s photography reflects a deep appreciation for the world around him as he shares “the beauty of flight, which only a pilot’s eyes can see.”

Men sweep up SoCal Freshmen duo leads offense

Chance meeting: new sport

I

t’s crazy in life how the smallest and most random single interactions or moments can lead to something bigger.

My two best friends to this day are just two kids I sat next to on the first day of kindergarten.

But I was only in kindergarten in Davis because the cutoff date to enroll in Miami, where I previously lived, was 16 days before my birthday.

And then we moved to Davis in the correct neighborhood to go to Pioneer and my mom selected the morning kindergarten class — rather than the afternoon — and I was placed in one of the two rooms where I would immediately meet those future best friends.

I had another interaction like that the other day at Lamppost Pizza and because of it, I’m now in the Davis Rugby Club. Rugby is a sport I never thought I would try.

Because I’ve lived in Davis for almost 25 years — and because of my involvement in the schools, the youth sports community and the newspaper — I frequently run into people who know me, but I can’t quite place.

While taking a phone call outside of Lamppost, a man caught my eye so I assumed he knew me and that it would be impolite for me not to say hi.

Of course, the reason I didn’t recognize him, Darren McCaffrey, in this case was because I actually had never met him before, but hey, he happened to be there with his fellow rugby players and we started a conversation that ended with him inviting me out to play.

S

o I did, and what an experience.

Even though they only play touch, I don’t think I’ve ever been as tired in my life as I was the first time I went out to play in their weekly Wednesday night games.

I can do soccer running, but I really struggled with the constant stops and starts that usually lasts just an hour in their game.

I sucked, but no one cared because the whole purpose of the club is to have fun and grow the game as much as possible.

Despite rugby having a strong history in Davis, McCaffrey only started the club four years ago after a few chance interactions of his own.

One of his kids happened to go to the same elementary school as a kid whose mom had gone to high school with his youngest brother and so he struck up a conversation with that mom, who just happened to have an Australian husband, Ben Wood, who grew up playing rugby.

Shortly thereafter at the Co-op, McCaffrey ran into a Woodland native named Matt Ginsburg, who he used to play club rugby against.

Together, they put together a game and the rest is history.

“I was thinking to myself that I had to find some kind of regular exercise,” McCaffrey said. “I’ve tried going to the gym, tried jogging and some things will stick,

grinding it out,” said UCD senior guard Joe Mooney, who finished with 13 points. “That’s what we did (Thursday) night (in a win at Long Beach) and did it again (Saturday afternoon).”

And for the second straight outing it was freshmen Ezra Manjon and Elijah Pepper leading the way with 16 and 15 points, respectively.

“I love those guys; they certainly don’t play like freshmen,” Mooney said.

The Aggies improved to 8-11 overall and 2-1 in BWC while the Matadors fell to 7-13 and 2-2. “(Getting a sweep is) huge for

NORTHRIDGE — The UC Davis men, once again, survived a last-minute offensive assault to escape Southern California on Saturday with a two-game sweep of Big West Conference foes.

The latest to fall was CSUN — a 66-62 loser before 712 fans at the Matadome.

“We just played gritty, and

UCD trailed by 6 points early in the second half, but a late 8-0 run provided the Aggies just enough separation. The Matadors pulled within 65-62 with 0:33 remaining, but missed both their 3-point attempts to tie the game.

A free throw by Aggie guard Damion Squire (6 points) provided the final margin of victory.

“We didn’t play our best, but we found a way and dug in,” UCD head coach Jim Les said. “This group is maturing … we made the hustle plays.

Mixed bag for Blue Crew Devil boys pick up key victory

DHS girls can’t slow Franklin

BY OWEN YANCHER

Davis High’s boys basketball team split two games over the weekend — but it got the win in the contest that mattered most.

On Friday, it was Franklin falling to the Blue Devils in an all-important Delta League showdown in Elk Grove.

On Saturday, in the Adidas Challenge, Clovis North upended DHS, 74-59, at Sheldon High.

Against the Wildcats, if Joey Asta sold as a stock, he’d be among the biggest buys of 2020.

Standing 6-foot-3, he’s not the prototypical high-school post player.

And when the 195-pounder lines up against some of the Delta League’s bigs with 4-to-6 vertical inches on him, fans often wonder what in the world Davis High head coach Dan Gonzalez is thinking.

In front of a capacity crowd on what was the Wildcats’ annual BlackOut Night, Asta showed Elk Grove why he’s often called the Blue

And at 12-7 entering Friday’s contest, Franklin was no lightweight, having topped MaxPreps’ No. 3 team in the Sac-Joaquin Section, Jesuit, 70-59, on Wednesday.

“It’s a tough place to play,” Gonzalez said of the Wildcats’ deafening den. “But it’s a fun place to play. They get loud for their team and in high-school basketball that’s how it’s supposed to be.”

The win — Davis’ first in conference play — also snapped an unanticipated four-game

“We tried every defense that we had.”

Head coach Heather Highshoe and the Blue Devils found that not much worked against the highoctane Franklin offense, as the Wildcats could not be stopped, steamrolling Davis, 63-39, at The Cage on Friday evening.

The win pushes Franklin to 16-4 overall and 4-0 in the Delta League while the Devils fall to 9-8 and 1-3 in conference.

DHS gets a reprieve from the grinding Delta schedule with two nonleague games next week: at Dixon on Monday (7 p.m.), then at Napa on Wednesday (7 p.m.).

“We’re gonna continue to focus on our defense,” Highshoe told The Enterprise, “And then try to get back into our early offense and advancing the ball better, looking to attack more.”

Early offense is where the Devils struggled Friday, as the Davis scored just 14 first-half points and was scoreless in the second quarter until Courtney Rutherford’s 3-pointer with four minutes left to intermission.

The bucket was one of

Gut-punching his hosts for a career-high 30 points, his mammoth performance keyed the Blue Crew’s triumph over Franklin — in the process turning in the highest-scoring

outing by a Davis player since Ryan Kreidler’s 34-point outburst against Encina Prep in 2015.

“We just really wanted to win,” Asta told The Enterprise, emphasizing team over the individual. “We hadn’t won here since I’ve been playing on varsity.”

In fact, it was Davis’ first road victory at Franklin since the 2009-10 season — a playoff campaign that featured the likes of former Devil stars Austin Hershberger, Tim Mohr and Kevin Sorenson, among others.

UCD Athletic Director Kevin Blue

Under Blue’s watchful eye, the Aggies have made inaugural trips

to the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and the FCS football playoffs.

The women’s basketball team is a three-time defending Big West champion. UCD has broken ground on a $52 million Student-Athlete Performance Center — a project made possible by the campus’ largest individual private donation to date and the most significant athletic partnership (with UC Davis Health). At a time when many campuses puzzle out Title IX compliance

by simply eliminating men’s sports, Davis Athletic Director Blue found a way to fund and add two women’s sports.

His EVO program, a careerlaunch avenue for studentathletes, has not only drawn interest campuswide but has become a topic of discussion and inquiry by universities across the nation.

While all this activity swirls around him, Blue remains that

SUNDAY, JANUARY 19, 2020

BLUE: UC Davis future at hand From Page B1 vortex into which more information and action flows, as UC Davis and Blue keep their promises to be “among the best mid-major athletic schools in the U.S.” With all these accomplishments, while Blue is “very pleased” with UCD sports progress and direction, he knows there is still much to be done. There is no falling back on laurels in Aggie Nation.

Blue, hired in 2016 during a time of relative department upheaval (he was UCD’s fourth athletic director in five years), was 33 years old at the time.

Almost four years later, according to school statistics, Aggie student-athletes have earned all-time high marks for Academic Progress Rates (APR) and Graduation Success Rates (GSR) — all while raising more and more conference and NCAA banners.

The former Stanford administrator tells anyone who’ll listen how important the academic component of athletics is — and will remain — at UC Davis.

Since he’s the boss, The Enterprise sat down with this busiest of Aggies and let him fill out his own report card ...

Q. How is EVO progressing, not only in athletics but around campus?

Blue: “We have a very nice partnership with the Internship and Career Center and there is momentum to scale the impact of career-development services around the campus.

“The folks at the center — along with several other folks on campus — are really moving forward with some positive efforts in that regard. The university’s fundraising campaign will feature Aggie Launch, which is the university-wide version of EVO ... a campus wide priority.”

Q. Any updates on the Student-Athlete Performance Center?

Blue: “Utility and site work with begin (this) first quarter … the building will begin to rise out of the ground in the second quarter of 2020. The whole thing (built) in one fell swoop.

OWEN YANCHER/ENTERPRISE PHOTO

A partnership of UC Davis Health and the campus, the Student-Athlete Performance Center construction is shown in early stages last fall. The 48,000-square-foot facility with practice field is a $52-million project.

“I’m an under-promiser, so I’ll conservatively say it’s going to be a 18-to-24-month construction process.

“A significant number of the Athletic Department offices will be there, but not all. We’re focusing most of the space on studentathlete-facing functions.

Whether that be sports medicine, strength and conditioning or career-development support.

Some coaches’ offices ...

“There will be an auditorium in the building that is to be 140 seats and will be programmed for various uses beyond ICA. And there will be other classroom space that will be used for athletics and non-athletics purposes.

“We’re eager for that integration to be a big feature of the building. The UC Davis Health section of the building will be prominent. There will be a public-facing clinic that will be available for a number of functions, operated by UC Davis Health.

“I’m excited about UC Davis Health being an integral part of this facility.”

Q. And how are the baseball cages working out at Dobbins Stadium? How important are lights for baseball and soccer?

Blue: “That (batting) facility has been complete for several months and the players have been using it. We’re putting the finishing touches on the

fundraising aspect of that project.

“Outisde of baseball, there are a few other things we’re working on, in the planning stages, but too early to talk about in detail. There is just not a whole lot of primal details available.

“We will continue to make incremental improvements to existing facilities … and some of the opportunities to improve the resources for each of our teams from a facilities’ standpoint, but the Performance Center is our main focus at the moment.

“My priority for lights? Very high. Very high. The lights for the baseball and soccer complex is a function of us working with campus and donors to fund the projects, and it is a high priority, for sure.

“I don’t have a specific timeline. If we were able to generate the donor support tomorrow, we’d do the job tomorrow.”

Q. Speak to the addition of two sports instead of going backwards on men’s programs?

Blue: “All credit for our ability to comply by adding rather than cutting goes to Chancellor Gary May and the university administration, including our Title IX office and the financial leadership of Vice Chancellor Kelly Ratliff.

“The spirit of Title IX is to create equitable opportunities

for women and men. Our university administration has recognized that and enabled us to abide by Title IX in the way that it was intended.

“Because of the leadership shown by central administration, we’re pleased to be able to comply in the way the spirit of the law was intended.”

Q. Comment of the inaugural year of equestrian and beach volleyball, the new members of the Aggie lineup.

Blue: “We’re very pleased.

Both coaches (volleyball’s Ali McCulloch and Jessie Weisinger for equestrian — are doing extraordinary work in their start-up efforts. In many situations we’ve been very, very competitive and ahead of expectations.

“And in terms of community support and campus engagement in both sports, our view is that they’ve added significant value.

“Our equestrian team, for example, has been able to engage aspects of the UC Davis community that are related to veterinary medicine and equine health. Hopefully, as we move forward, we’ll be able to provide even a larger platform for some of the vet-med and agricultural sciences work that go on at the university.

“For both sports, last year was a great opportunity to run those home events for the first time — and learn how to do them. The reception was really positive, and we look forward to building on that as we go forward.”

Q. Any surprises during your time at UC Davis?

Blue: “No. We’re pretty straight forward. Our focus is on continuing to build the resources available to fund our teams and their successes at a level that allows to compete for conference championships.

“Academically, we continue to do very well. Grade scores are likely to be at all-time highs again when they’re announced, so we’re pleased about that.

The progress of EVO is something we’re proud about, too.”

GIRLS: Hope to hone their defense From Page B1 just two DHS 3-pointers as the Blue Crew shot 2 for 18 from downtown.

Meanwhile, the Wildcats high-volume shooters hit 10-of-24 launches from beyond the arc.

Emme Eisenman led the locals with 11 points and Surina Beal and Skylar Schouten added 6 each. Rutherford and Lily Hessl contributed 5 points apiece.

On the other end, the Davis defense was able to get the game within striking distance for awhile — trailing only 25-14 at the break.

But Franklin’s Malia Clark — who finished with a game-high 19 points — hit four 3-pointers, including three in the critical third-period run. Trinity Haynes added two bombs of her own and the Wildcats pulled away with 23 points in the quarter.

MIKE TRASK/ENTERPRISE PHOTO

On her way to 2 of her 11 points, Blue Devil Emme Eisenman looks for an opening during Friday night’s loss to visiting Franklin High.

The Devils never got within 20 the rest of the way ...

“Our transition defense, our rotations even in the halfcourt, they weren’t quick enough,” Highshoe reported. “These are

probably some of the quickest, smartest guards that we’ve played in our league so far.”

The Franklin senior sister duo of Reeba and Reena Sy combined for 22 points, including a trio

of 3-pointers from Reeba.

In Tuesday’s 47-46 loss to Sheldon, Davis got to the line 43 times.

Hosting Franklin, the Blue Crew was hard pressed for freebies, getting only eight tries from

the charity stripe (hitting six of them).

“Emme’s somebody who’s always very aggressive off the dribble and I thought Skylar did a good job today looking to attack,” Highshoe continued. “But I thought we could’ve been much more aggressive offensively …

There was just a lot of missed opportunities to capitalize on.”

Davis faced a man-toman defense for the second time this week.

According to Highshoe, the Devils had seen mostly zone setups in the past.

“We’ll learn from this game, we’ll make adjustments, and keep our heads up and then look to bounce back next week,” the coach said.

Notes: With a third straight loss, DHS now sits in fifth place in the Delta. Franklin holds the top spot. ... Last year, the Devils started league 2-2 before going 6-2 the rest of the way.

REAM: New friends point me toward rugby From Page B1 but none of that is all that much fun.”

So because of those random meetings, somewhere between 10 and 20 people gather every Wednesday night around 6 p.m. at Community Park.

Right now, it gets dark early, so the club brings its own lights, so you can kind of see — luckily we used a ball with a pink tip last week so you could at least see it right before it hit you in the face.

I’ve found the sport intricacies as challenging as I’ve

found the people involved trying to be patient with me.

I’m learning every week and while I don’t know if I’ll ever be good, just the camaraderie has been worth it — I’ve already been invited to watch football on Sundays after hanging for a weekly postgame slice at Lamppost.

“The one thing that I always try to communicate to people that are interested is really that it’s about having fun and meeting new people and coming out and either sharing the love for the game you already know or learning a new game because

rugby is a game that not many people are exposed to in the states,” McCaffrey explained.

“Many of the people who play with us are people who have never played but now follow a team or a league with other friends who are now playing. It’s just a fun thing to do.”

The 1994 Davis High grad added: “There are a lot of people who played rugby in Davis.

It has had at certain times in its history a great rugby culture.

Partly because I’m not the best networker or do anything on social media, I haven’t found

all of them.”

I hope he does find all of them. Sorry, I hope we find all of them, because I’m making this my weekly Wednesday tradition.

And I hope at least one other person reading this column will discover rugby as well.

(For more information about the Davis Rugby Club, email McCaffrey at dbmccaffrey@ gmail.com.)

An uber-complex presidential primary A

new poll of California voters finds a virtual tie among Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and former Vice President Joe Biden just a couple of weeks before mail voting begins for the March 3 Democratic presidential primary.

Sanders crept ahead of longtime leader Biden among Democratic voters in the Public Policy Institute of California poll, jumping 10 percentage points over the last two months to 27%.

Biden’s and Warren’s shares were unchanged at 24% and 23% respectively, meaning Sanders gained supporters from second- and third-tier candidates who either dropped out, such as California Sen. Kamala Harris, or have faded.

Were election results to match the PPIC polling, Sanders would claim a victory of sorts, but it’s not quite that simple.

Under the Democratic Party’s

uber-complex rules, coming in first in the primary doesn’t necessarily generate a trove of delegate votes.

As Paul Mitchell, California’s premier political numbercruncher, points out in a Capitol Weekly article, “California’s Democratic primary isn’t won at the ‘national poll’ level, or even at the ‘statewide poll’ level. It’s won through a complicated, proportional delegate-allocation procedure that affects campaign strategy and could muddy the final election results.”

California will send 495

delegates to the Democratic National Convention, Mitchell continues. “Of those, 416 will be pledged delegates (meaning that they are committed to a candidate), while 79 will be the unpledged ‘superdelegates. … ’ “The bulk of those pledged delegates will be allocated at the congressional level, with four to seven delegates awarded in each of California’s 53 congressional districts, for a total of 272. In addition, there are an additional 144 delegates awarded based on the statewide results.”

Well, that doesn’t sound too complicated, but Mitchell adds, “there’s a catch,”and explains it thusly: “To win any delegates within a congressional district requires the candidate to obtain the support of a minimum of 15% of that district’s voters. And the state result is subject to the same rule: If only one candidate gets 15% statewide, that person could

win all 144 statewide delegates, but if five candidates reach 15% they would divide the delegates among themselves.

“Given the method of calculating delegates at the congressional district level, the ‘winner’ might only get 20,000 votes more than the closest competitor but receive just one more delegate. Or, if the winning contender was the only one to reach 15%, he or she could win by a mere 1% margin yet capture 100% of the delegates.”

G

ot that? And to make it even trickier, counting the votes and applying the formula district by district could take weeks and by the time California’s final result is known, the race might have already been decided elsewhere.

The likelihood of a close finish among the three frontrunners, the complexity of the delegate allocation system and the inevitable delay in counting votes

could essentially make our primary a non-factor in choosing the Democratic candidate to challenge President Donald Trump, undercutting the contention that advancing the election from June to March would make California more relevant.

The system that Mitchell describes in excruciating detail poses another question: If California’s Democratic politicians are enamored of a proportional primary election, rather than winner-take-all, why do they insist that November’s electoral votes all go to the winner of the popular vote, rather than being allocated by congressional district, as a couple of other states do?

Just asking.

LETTERS Working with Provenza I am supporting Jim Provenza for reelection to the Yolo County Board of Supervisors. I served with Jim on the board and also worked with him when I was a member of the California Assembly.

Jim served as counsel to the California Senate Judiciary Committee and chief counsel to the California Assembly Public Safety Committee. He was later the legislative counsel at the California State Capitol for the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office.

While working at the Capitol, Jim was responsible for numerous bills expanding protection for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, including California’s stalking law and the legislation permitting a court to remove guns from those who commit domestic assaults. He also drafted and was instrumental in the enactment of California’s current hate crime law.

As a member of the Yolo County Board of Supervisors, Jim is a compassionate leader who works to assure that essential services, such as mental health, suicide prevention, and the Yolo Food Bank, receive the funding needed to protect our most vulnerable residents. By using tobacco settlement funds and obtaining outside funding, he has been able to do this with a balanced budget and no increase in taxes.

I was particularly impressed by Jim’s ability as chair of First 5 Yolo to obtain millions of dollars in state funding for Yolo’s early childhood prevention and intervention programs. These efforts will significantly improve the lives of our at-risk children.

Jim works hard to the meet needs of all of his constituents; rich, poor and inbetween. He always does his homework and is prepared, listens to all viewpoints and is fair and civil to all those who appear before the Board.

Please join me in supporting Jim Provenza for re-election to the Board of Supervisors on March 3.

Deos is a leader I want to share my enthusiastic endorsement of Linda Deos to represent District 4 on the Yolo County Board of Supervisors. I represented District 4 for many years and some women followed me; however, there has not been a woman on the Yolo County board in 10 years.

It is time for some diversity on the board. There could be no better choice than Linda.

We have spoken many times, and I greatly appreciate Linda’s long history fighting for those less fortunate or less able to advocate their issues. Whether it be housing, children’s issues, health care, social justice and so much more, including issues with the state, Linda was there to help out.

Linda is and will continue to be very visible in our communities and on governmental issues that affect Yolo County and District 4 as supervisor if elected.

I know that Linda Deos will be a voice and a leader for our community. I hope you

will join me in voting for Linda Deos.

Support for Measure G Please join me in voting yes in support of Measure G for our children. My family and I have been Davis homeowners for 10 years. We chose Davis because of the community and the schools. It was wonderful knowing all the neighborhood schools were high quality with fabulous teachers, and that buying our home here was a good investment because of it.

Our children are in fifth and sixth grade at Birch Lane Elementary this year. I teach at North Davis Elementary and my husband was the PTA President at Birch Lane a few years back. We are dedicated to our community and our schools, know how good they are, and realize how important it is to support the schools and teachers.

Because of this, we are voting yes on Measure G and ask you to do the same.

As a parent, teacher, and homeowner, I want the best and the brightest teachers in our district. Many teachers will be retiring within the next few years. We thank them for their dedicated service to our community and students, but must recognize the potential impact of turnover and vacancies on student success. I know teachers, paraeducators and staff that have left for other school districts because they need a living wage. Student teachers from UC Davis and Sacramento State don’t even apply here because the pay is too low and they won’t be able to make their student loan payments. We can only attract the best when the community stands by its educators.

The Davis Joint Unified School District does not receive state funding comparable to other local school districts, so it is up to us for Davis to continue being a city and community that invests in educating all its students. When a Davis teacher knocks on your door, urging you to vote yes on Measure G, please thank them and pledge your

Backing Abramson I support David Abramson for Yolo County Supervisor, District 4! He is bringing exactly what we need to the table — substantial, feasible and detailed legislation and community collaboration to address the climate crisis — a local Green New Deal.

Abramson is focusing on the most complex issue of my generation and gives me hope that I will have a livable and breathable future. Although other candidates are focusing on important issues, Abramson’s platform focuses on modifying the economy in such a way that Yolo County will be more environmentally, economically and socially just.

Some may point fingers on the culprit for climate change, but we are all just victims of a faulty system. We need to focus on solutions and I believe with Abramson’s leadership, Yolo County will become a great example for others. Even though climate change is a global problem, it may only be addressed with local, tangible solutions! I study Environmental Policy Analysis and Planning at UC Davis and I am confident that the Green New Deal will advance the county’s economy while deliberately improving the well-being of the community.

In a Jan. 5 letter to The Enterprise, Andy Bale got most of the facts right, but he went too far imagining DPAC members' motivations.

Arnold, Roe and Yackzan are good people who want Davis to thrive.

I don't think the city briefed DPAC members adequately on how to deal with conflicts of interest when the committee was installed. Committee members misstepped on Nov. 14 and stumbled into the Trackside problem.

Thanks for help on luminaries The 15th Annual Historic Area Luminary Display in Woodland was a great success this year due to generous donations from Yolo County residents. The numerous canned goods and warm coats collected were distributed back into the community through the Woodland Food Closet and Fourth & Hope. We thank all of you who contributed while walking or driving along our luminary-lit streets last month.

We are grateful to The Davis Enterprise for informing the community of our display date since many Yolo County citizens look forward to the luminary evening each holiday season. Thank you also to our friends at Nugget Market for their continued support. Extra special thanks go to the luminary block coordinators who assist in preparing the luminary kits for our neighbors. Their help each year is indispensable.

Thank you all!

The annual event is held in Woodland one evening during the month of December, weather permitting. We look forward to seeing you all next year for the 16th annual display.

Cybersecurity threat grows, defenses evolve COMMENTARY

BY LLEWELLYN KING Special to The Enterprise

W

hen tensions got white-hot between the United States and Iran over the assassination of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, it was widely believed the U.S. electric utilities would bear the brunt of Iranian reprisals. The nation’s electric industry leaders spent anxious hours wondering where, when and how bad?

It did not happen, but the alarm was well-founded. It followed mounting concerns flagged last December by the National Infrastructure Advisory Council and followed by an equally alarming report this month from Dragos, a leading cybersecurity consultancy that issues a threat assessment annually.

The Dragos report predicts a possible multi-pronged attack, striking at vulnerabilities in the utilities including those in the supply chain. Dragos identifies threats from attacker groups Magnallium and Xenotime.

These have, according to Dragos,

migrated from attacking oil and gas installations to electric utilities. It does not name countries.

Dragos states that the complete energy infrastructure is under attack and that the attacks are getting more sophisticated. A group identified by Dragos last year, Parasite, has been focusing on remote connectivity and virtual private networks as points of entry.

It is easy to read these warnings, and another by the Congressional Research Service, as announcing inevitable gloom.

But a lot of people in and out of government are now centered on the cybersecurity problem. These include the departments, of Energy, Defense, Homeland Security and the intelligence agencies that prepare the counterattack capability.

As attacks get more sophisticated and penetrating, so too do the defenses and the ability of the targets to “lock out” invaders.

Defenses can also include hardening systems that are not

involved in electricity production and distribution — communications, for example.

Morgan O’Brien is a legend in the telecommunications industry. He was the co-founder of Nextel, the company that gave the world cellphones. He now works in the utility space: His mission is to harden communications by providing private broadband networks that are independent of everything — including the internet — and will survive most disasters, natural and man-made.

O’Brien is president and CEO of Anterix, which offers secure broadband via the 900 MHz spectrum that it has acquired.

He told me, “People do not have to use imagination to understand what may happen to them in the event of a wide-scale power outage. Who can forget watching the collapse of civilization within a day or two of Hurricane Katrina?”

The good news, according to O’Brien, “is that progressive utilities and regulators are preparing for the worst by redesigning the architecture of the electric

grid to pinpoint grid failures and in near real-time reroute power to isolate the failure, thus curtailing cascading power shutdowns.”

The magic number for O’Brien is 1.4 seconds. That is how long he says it would take the electric utility to learn of a failure using one of his company’s private networks. So, if a power line fails, in almost real time the utility will know. Remediation or isolation can begin.

M

ost security is directed at protecting and isolating industrial controller systems, the computerdriven programmable devices that are at the heart of all industrial installations, including utilities. But there are other vulnerabilities, not all to do with cyberattack.

The New York Times reported graphically last October on the failure of communications at PG&E, the giant San Franciscobased utility beset by wildfires.

Everything went wrong and the company lost its ability to tell its customers, including nursing

County Board of Supervisors.

Linda’s wisdom shows itself in her insight and understanding that foundational to addressing the housing, food, and healthcare crisis, is to ensure that everyone has access to earning a livable wage.

She also knows the critical need for affordable childcare, and that without it, it is mostly women who will be shut out of the workforce, with no chance for a quality of life.

Linda will bring her demonstrated experience, courage and focus to fight for everyone, including seniors, families and farm workers in our county. Join me in electing Linda Deos for the Yolo County Board of Supervisors, 4th District on March 3.

Provenza was there for Crisis Nursery I am writing a personal letter to endorse Supervisor Jim Provenza’s re-election to the Yolo County Board of Supervisors. I have known Jim for nearly 10 years and have worked closely with him during his effort to save the Yolo Crisis Nursery when we were in jeopardy of closing our doors.

At that time the Nursery was operated by a local nonprofit, EMQ Families, First. When EMQ announced it was closing its Davis location, it left the Crisis Nursery and the families it serves in complete shock. We were within days of closing when Supervisor Provenza and state Sen. Lois Wolk called a meeting where they passionately communicated their commitment to help the nursery remain in operation. Jim led the way through the grueling process of creating a nonprofit, obtaining state licensing, and obtaining partial funding from Yolo County.

But it isn’t just children that remain his priority. His years as a supervisor have produced a distinguished track record of creating sustainable economic development solutions and jobs, a farmland protection ordinance, programs for Yolo County’s most vulnerable senior citizens and children, and support and advocacy for a new animal shelter.

There is no one who is more committed to the citizens of Yolo County than Jim Provenza. Re-elect Provenza so he can complete the important work in progress and continue to serve the citizens of Yolo County.

Becky Heard Woodland

Support for Measure G As a homeowner in our community, a parent of children in our schools, and as a veteran teacher in DJUSD, I am wholeheartedly in support of Measure G. From my vantage point, the small cost of approximately 50 cents per day is worth it in order to sustain the level of education we want for all of our students.

I have taught in our district for almost 20 years, and have been discouraged to see scores of my colleagues, both veteran and new, leave every year to work in other districts for higher pay. DJUSD needs to provide competitive compensation or we will continue to lose our teachers and staff. Without the much-needed funding that Measure G will provide, our schools will suffer more than they already do from the inability to attract and retain qualified staff, and we will certainly not be able to live up to our reputation of being a district of great schools.

This stellar reputation of greatness is what brings families to our city and increases

homes and other essential users, when it was cutting off the power. Even the state emergency services could not reach the utility control room, while, to quote the Times, “chaos unspooled outside.”

How vulnerable is the grid?

While no one will quantify the threat, everyone I have talked to says it is there and very real. Fixing and it keeping it ahead is part of the new need for an everevolving infrastructure.

But as O’Brien says, “For sure, the grid is under attack daily by bad cyber-activists and is routinely hammered by weather phenomena. The doomsday scenario is plenty scary, but I’ll put my money on American technology and determination to keep the lights on.”

The enemy is out there in a hostile world, but the battlements are manned by old and new forces.

Good Trackside advice?

Our city’s Advisory Commissions serve “at the pleasure of ” the City Council, but surely our council could take no pleasure in learning that members of one of their commissions refused to recuse themselves from a highly controversial vote even though a clear conflict of interest was present.

And equally surely, if such unseemly behavior ever should occur in our fair city, our council members would not honor the poisoned fruit it produced.

Vote yes on Measure G I have been a teacher in Davis for 18 years.

During my tenure in this district I have regularly experienced the generosity of parents and community members who have donated their time and resources to make our schools the best. I know this community is dedicated to the quality of its schools and teachers, and that’s why I am asking for your support for Measure G at the ballots.

Now more than ever, public education in Davis is going to need to rely on the community at large to make up for the funding we lack. With teacher retirements looming on the horizon, in addition to the general dearth of teachers that California at large is dealing with, the difficulty in attracting and retaining

qualified teachers has become more acute than ever. What’s more, Davis is competing with neighboring districts who are receiving far more state and federal funds than we are, giving them the ability to offer far more attractive starting salaries.

Without a doubt, new teachers are going to go where the salaries are higher, and even teachers with experience will consider making the shift to another district, especially if it means a better quality of life. This is the reality with which our district and community is faced.

Please help make a lasting difference for our schools and vote yes for Measure G. Ava Cain César Chávez Elementary

New voice, new ideas Linda Deos brings a strong new voice, creative new ideas and a critically needed unique perspective as a candidate for the Yolo County Board of Supervisors, 4th District. On March 3, we have an opportunity to elect a woman with the experience and qualities needed to do an exemplary job in that position.

In her professional life as a consumerprotection attorney for 23 years, and a leader in the community serving on several commissions and boards, Linda Deos has exemplified the most important characteristics for an elected official to embody. She is a courageous leader, keen listener, critical thinker, problem solver, and has a laser focus and knowledge of the most important issues impacting our county.

To represent all people, it takes a broad understanding and unique perspective.

Being a woman and member of the LGBTQ community affords Linda the distinction of having an innate understanding of people whose voices have not been heard in over a decade on the Yolo

We were engaged 30-somethings with a wedding date on the horizon. One of us had a job and a house in Sacramento, the other a job and condo in Vacaville. We needed a compromise commute and, more importantly, a community to call our new home.

Davis was an easy choice as our new home because of its public safety, beautiful parks and greenbelts, and thriving downtown.

The quality of life in Davis jumped out at us.

It was obvious then and ever since that Davis citizens were willing to invest in our quality of life. Thirty-one years later, we call on our friends and neighbors to do so again by voting for Measure Q on the March 3 ballot to renew a sales tax we have been paying for years.

This is a critical moment in the life of our city. Our city sales tax expires at the end of this year unless we vote to renew it at its existing level, without a tax increase.

This money is needed to support our quality of life. Specifically, it is used for police and fire services, recreation programs, the Davis Senior Center and maintenance of parks and roads and bike paths.

If the 1-percent city sales tax expires, the city will lose about $9 million of the city’s $60 million General Fund budget. The math is simple: If we lose this much revenue, many city services and programs we now take for granted would be affected.

This is a fair tax that Davis and other California cities rely upon. Essential purchases like groceries and medicine are exempt. This money cannot be taken away by the state, ensuring that our tax dollars stay local for the benefit of Davis residents.

So, please vote yes on Measure Q. Visit the website of the Renew Davis Committee, www.renewdavis.com, to learn more about this proposal, sign up for a lawn sign, endorse Yes on Q, and volunteer. Please also visit the Facebook page, YesOnQ. Councilman Dan Carson and Maureen Carson Davis

1. Where was Martin Luther King born?

The words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped to change the world. His words still inspire people today. He was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. His father was the minister of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, as was his father before him. Because Martin and his father had the same name, the family called him M.L.

When M.L. was young, he played with all the children who lived in his Atlanta neighborhood.

But when they reached school age, the white children went to a school for white children only, and M.L. was sent to a school for black children.

After the first day of school, M.L. and his white friends were never allowed to play together again.

2. From which college did Dr. King receive his Ph.D.?

M.L. was very sad when his friends would no longer play with him. He asked his mother why they couldn’t.

She talked about why the family didn’t ride streetcars, why there was a WHITES ONLY sign on the elevator at City Hall, why there were restaurants that refused to serve black people, and theaters that allowed blacks to sit only in the balcony. She said that it was simply because some white people didn’t understand that we all deserve equal treatment.

“In the end, we remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”

Service was at the heart of Martin Luther King’s philosophy. “Everybody can be great because everybody can serve,” he once said, and he urged Americans to take action to improve the lives of others.

Today people celebrate Martin Luther King Day as a “Day of Service.” This week Kid Scoop’s online kids’ page at www.kidscoop.com provides instructions on how to put on a Book Drive to collect books for needy children and day care centers.

A Book Drive is just one kind of a service project. Can you think of others?

UC DAVIS ROUNDUP

Limited Aggie women open swim campaign

with a 2:13.81). The Aggies also won the final swim of the day as Jamie Pincin, Mia Facey, Mia Cunnan and Olivia Smith banded together for the top time (1:36.01) on the 200 free relay.

“We had a lot of people sick and injured and even sent one girl to Urgent Care just this morning,” Leacox told The Enterprise. “But we stayed positive.

“We’re right in the middle of a really tiring stretch of training, so it’s hard to swim really fast at a time like this.”

Swimming through a shoulder bug of her own, freshman Zoe Cosgrove was phenomenal in her first trip back to Davis since joining the Gauchos. The former Sac-Joaquin Section backstroke champion for DHS hit the wall first in

Enterprise staff writer Plagued by injuries and illness, the UC Davis women’s swim-and-dive squad dropped its first conference dual meet of the season to visiting UC Santa Barbara, 171.5-117.5, Saturday at Schaal Aquatics Center. The result came the day after the Aggies had tied San Jose State on the road, 150-150, in their first competition of the new year.

Missing almost 10 swimmers from their usual lineup Saturday, the Aggies’ lone individual event winner was former Davis High star Kyla Leacox, whose time of 2:05.62 in the 200 IM outpaced UCD freshmen Olivia Greenberg (second at 2:10.20) and Sophie Sebastian (third

In diving, Davis freshman Sydney Wren swept the day, notching a score of 274.20 to win the 1-meter event and 313.25 to take the 3-meter.

“It wasn’t an ideal meet,” Leacox went on, “but overall our morale is still pretty good.

“We’ve still got a couple of weeks to get healthy before conferences.”

Friday, UCD posted eight event wins against the Spartans. Those swims came via: Leacox in the 400 IM (4:32.18), Smith in the 1,000 (10:34) and 500 free (5:06.68), Amanda Wilson in the 200 fly (2:06.32), Cunnan in the 200 back (1:06.48) and Jay Jay Eaton’s 100 fly (56.77). Taylor Hornberger’s net score of 257.25 paced the 1-meter dive group, as did her 289.88 clip in the 3-meter.

The Aggies are set to host Fresno State Saturday when the Bulldogs visit Schaal at 1 p.m. Last season, UCD narrowly edged Fresno, 158-142.

TEMPE. Ariz. — Aggie junior Kelley Hebert won floor exercise (9.900) then notched a runner-up 9.850 effort on balance beam, to pace UC Davis in a meeting with Arizona State at Desert Financial Arena on Friday. Despite the efforts, the Pac-12 power Sun Devils prevailed, 195.250-187.225.

Hebert’s score on floor exercise marks her highest since tying the school record of 9.950 in last year’s March 15 home finale. It also marks the ninth time she has scored at least 9.9 in the event.

Junior Gabby Landess (9.800), sophomore Shannon Sklow (9.700) and freshmen Logan Clagg (9.625) and Petra Engstrom (9.625) joined Hebert in compiling a 48.650 on floor exercise heading into the final rotation. However, Hebert and Shanae Oishi were the only Aggies not to suffer falls on beam, with that squad slipping to a 44.750 event total.

STOCKTON — UC Davis men’s tennis rolled to a 5-2 decision at Pacific on Friday.

A singles onslaught featured wins from Aggies David Goulak, Ariith Jayaraman, Andrei Volain and freshmen Chethan Swanson and Brett Brinkman.

Although the Tigers took the doubles point, the local top duo of Ivan Thamma and David Goulak turned in a 6-0 shutout victory UCD returns to action Thursday at San Francisco, competing at the Cal Club at noon. The Aggies open at home with a Saturday doubleheader against Texas-San Antonio and Sonoma State.

Women’s tennis On Saturday, UC Davis recorded a shutout win over Sonoma State at home to kick off the 2020 season, highlighted by three freshmen earning their first career dual wins.

The Aggies started strong in doubles play, with a new pairing of Kristina Breisacher and Shirley Hall recording a 6-0 win at No. 2. Top duo of Lauren Ko and Sara Tsukamoto dropped just one game in their win.

In a back-and-forth battle at No. 3, Jessica Walker and Yana Gurevich won.

In singles, Ko posted her first career double-bagel victory. Eventually, Gurevich clinched the 4-0 victory with a straight-set win.

The Aggies will hit the road for their longest road-swing of the season, traveling to the Pacific Northwest next weekend.

ELK GROVE — Desperately needing a result against the team trailing them by just three points in the standings, the Davis High boys soccer team went on the road and pulled out a 1-1 draw at Sheldon to remain in the fifth (and final) playoff spot in the Delta League.

Sophomore Zach Anderson provided the goal for the Devils, scoring off of a rebounded shot from freshman Simon Vaca-Lorenzi.

That chance put the

locals up 1-0, but despite hitting the woodwork twice — and missing a penalty try — DHS couldn’t find the all-important second goal as the Huskies were able to come back and draw the game level.

The tie gives Davis a 6-3-2 mark overall and a 1-2-2 record in conference, collecting five points from those five games.

“With the missed opportunities after being up 1-0 today, and dropping points against Franklin and the feeling that we should have won against Pleasant

Grove, today does not feel good because we could be as high as second place,” said captain Cayden Hotaling. “Instead, we’re in fifth, which isn’t a good or reassuring feeling.”

The Devils return to the field of play Wednesday at Playfields Park for a 1:15 p.m. kickoff against Cosumnes Oaks, who has six points after five games.

“Right now we’re going to really try and focus on getting back on track and getting a win against Cosumnes,” Hotaling reported.

From Page B1 losing skid that had Devil fans scratching their heads following the team’s smokin’hot 11-0 season start.

But Asta was the one who had fans perplexed Friday, netting 11 of Davis’ firstperiod points while the locals sprang ahead, 29-19, in the opening quarter.

Franklin responded with a 28-point period of its own to enter the half trailing by just four, 51-47.

“We’ll have these minutes where we just completely lose focus,” Asta said of the periodic point swings. “That’s what’s been getting us in the last couple games.”

After intermission, the Devils built up double-digit cushions, twice, but could never leave the Wildcats in the dust.

Franklin took its lone lead of the night, 57-56, midway through the third quarter before a 3-point field goal courtesy of Isaiah Conlan (8 ts) sealed the deal for DHS. “Moving forward we have to stay in it the whole 32 minutes,” Asta added.

Now a fixture in the starting lineup at center, CJ Fabionar netted 11 points in the win, while Cody Taylor added 9 along with four assists and three steals, Ryan Hakl had 8 points and Collin Yee scored 5. DHS

shot 13 for 19 (68 percent) from the freethrow line and tied a season-high with 12 makes from beyond the 3-point line on 35 attempts (34 percent). Asta’s seven rebounds led all players, while Alan Favela (4 points) brought down six boards, and Hakl and Fabionar snagged five apiece.

Adidas Challenge In the loss to Clovis North, the Devils were held to their quietest quarter of the season — scoring just 6 in the first period — as the Broncos got an early upper hand.

Good new in the contest? Davis’ Bryce Barker earned all-Challenge team honors.

Ranked No. 6 in the Section by MaxPreps, the Big Blue Machine now sits at 12-5 overall and 1-3 in league.

Notes: Franklin’s Malik Johnson (24 points) and Marquis Hargrove (20) had big nights as well Friday, while Jaelon Roberts scored 15. ... In other conference action, Sheldon shellacked Pleasant Grove, 76-31, and Jesuit beat Elk Grove, 60-41. ... In junior varsity play Friday, Franklin topped DHS, 61-50.
