Salinas aims to get young adults out to the polls BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Just 20 percent of young adults in Yolo County who are eligible to vote are actually voting, something the county’s head of elections calls “shocking.” “That right there is a crisis in our democracy,” according to Jesse Salinas, the county’s assessor/clerk-recorder/ SALINAS registrar of voters. Assessor/ “It is so important clerk-recorder/ that we turn that registrar around.” Speaking Wednesday evening at a forum hosted by the Davis chapter of the League of Women Voters, Salinas said evidence shows that if people start voting when they’re young, “they will become lifelong voters. “So we’ve got to catch them when they’re young.” To that end, the county elections office will be trying to catch some of those young people — specifically, UC Davis students — during the March 3 presidential primary. A satellite elections office will be set up in the Memorial Union on campus on Election Day where students will be able to register and vote, said Salinas. Thanks to recent legislation, same day voter registration is now the law of the land, enabling California residents to register in person and cast a conditional ballot on Election Day. During the post-election canvassing conducted by county elections offices throughout the state, those registrations are then checked to ensure the

Options on homelessness What’s the first move? BY MATT LEVIN CalMatters
G
ov. Gavin Newsom has taken grief for failing to fulfill what seems like a pretty achievable campaign promise: appointing a homelessness “czar” to help the 150,000 Californians living in shelters and on the streets. Newsom’s quest, which at various points had the mayor of Sacramento, the state secretary of health and human services and a Washington-based consultant co-wearing the “czar” crown, culminated earlier this month in a Truman-esque “buck stops here” declaration. “You want to know who’s the homeless czar?” Newsom said, index finger pounding the podium. “I’m the homeless czar in the state of California.” Well, good czars are hard to find. But that’s partly because homelessness is a complex and difficult problem, with options that range, at best, from imperfect to limited. Some choices
might bring people in from the streets over the long term, but are expensive and time-consuming. Others might prevent people from becoming homeless in the first place, but are difficult to efficiently target. Poll after poll suggests Californians want something done about homelessness, ASAP. So, we’re temporarily making you czar. Here’s a menu of talkedabout “solutions” rated with expert input according to speed, cost, and political feasibility. What would be your battle plan?
Option 1: More permanent housing Subsidized apartments that charge people experiencing homelessness minimal rents with no limits on how long they can stay. Built by nonprofit developers and paid for with public dollars, they “support” residents with in-house or visiting case managers who bring
tenants to health appointments, show them how to use appliances and connect them with job and safety net programs. Permanent supportive housing primarily helps the chronically homeless, who often have severe disabilities such as serious mental illness, drug addiction and physical ailments. Cost: Nonpartisan research consistently says permanent supportive housing is very effective at keeping the chronically homeless housed, which saves on health and law enforcement costs. But the upfront cost of building it is a lot, especially where it’s needed most — $500,000 per unit in Los Angeles, for example. Newsom recently pledged $750 million in new emergency homelessness funding for the entire state. If you used all of that to build new permanent supportive housing in L.A., you’d get 1,500 units. Los Angeles County alone had nearly 16,000 chronically homeless people in 2019.
Speed: It takes one to three years in California to build this kind of housing. You can do some things to speed up the process, such as get rid of environmental reviews for new projects. But unless you’re buying a motel and converting it (more on this later), this is still going to take some time. Political support: Many homelessness advocates tout permanent supportive housing as the solution most worthy of more dollars, and the governor and big city mayors champion it frequently. Neighbors may not love the idea of new low-income housing on their block, but they hate it less than shelters. But ask Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti how the cost and time of building new supportive housing plays politically. Once a rising star among Democrats with national ambitions, Garcetti has seen his popularity falter as a $1.2 billion voterapproved bond has generated

The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Local 3299 union announced Wednesday that it reached a tentative contract agreement with the University of California. The union represents about 10,000 UC-employed service workers, including custodians, food service employees, truck drivers and animal technician assistants. “UC is pleased that after working with AFSCME leadership to address joint concerns and resolve our outstanding differences we have reached a multi-year agreement for our valued employees,” the UC Office of the President said in a statement
A city commission is requesting that the City Council on Tuesday dismiss one of its members for, among other things, “consistently prolonging meetings, derailing discussions, failing to yield the floor and not accepting the decisions of the commission.” The Bicycle, Transportation and Street Safety Commission approved a letter requesting the dismissal of Commissioner Todd Edelman by a 4-2-1 vote at its January meeting and the council will consider the request at its Tuesday meeting. Back in October, three commission members — Chair Eric Gudz, Vice Chair Frances Andrew and Commissioner Mike Mitchell — first wrote to the council calling for Edelman’s removal. “We are very sorry that we feel compelled to take this action, but our patience has run out,” their letter said.

“We believe that Todd Edelman has been given more than enough time to become a productive member of the Bicycle, Transportation, and Street Safety Commission. Instead, Mr. Edelman continues to disrupt the effectiveness of commission meetings. He shows a lack of respect for the chair, commissioners, and all involved by consistently prolonging meetings, derailing discussions, failing to yield the floor, and not accepting the decisions of the commission. “We are calling on you to remove Todd Edelman from the BTSSC immediately,” the letter said. “If he remains on the commission, we feel that we have no recourse but to resign from the BTSSC.” At a subsequent meeting in November, Edelman read a prepared statement in response. “I regret that my behavior has elicited the negative reaction shown in the letter,” Edelman wrote. “I sincerely apologize for the times I was clearly out of order and

I believe that my style was clear for the many months I attended BTSSC meetings before I was on it, often the only member of the public present. I admit that I personally don’t generally mind if people get angry at official meetings in the city, unless of course it’s a personal or worse type of attack. I don’t see my goal as to calmly opine on infrastructure which can kill people or programs that can exclude them, and go against city policy and goals.” Additionally, Edelman said, “I agree that often times my actions would contribute to meetings going over the scheduled ending time, but it’s very clear — and I believe most would agree — that we have simply too

County releases emergency preparedness report Special to The Enterprise The Yolo County Commission on Aging and Adult Services recently identified in a report emergency preparation and evacuation necessities for older adults and persons with access or functional needs. The report will be presented to the Yolo County Board of Supervisors during the January 28th Board meeting. The report encompasses recommendations for the Yolo County Board of Supervisors and the Yolo County Commission of Aging and Adult Services, a suggested plan of action for local aging commissions, as well as background and supporting information. Recent fires, floods, and electrical outages have highlighted the urgency for Yolo
County to be prepared in the next emergency. “As Chair of the Yolo County Commission on Aging and Adult Services, I am well aware of the severe risks that elderly and disabled residents face during fire, flood or other disasters,� said Yolo County Supervisor Jim Provenza. “This report provides a road map for Yolo County, our cities and our local aging commissions to take concrete action to protect our elderly and disabled population during a disaster. I am grateful to the members of the Commission and our Disaster Preparedness Subcommittee for their months of hard work on this project.� Included in the report are: recommendations for a Special Needs Alert Program to identify and serve
those with special needs during an emergency; measures to assure that licensed care facilities have adequate evacuation plans; training on Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia for emergency workers; and help for those who rely on medical equipment during power outages. After presenting these recommendations to the Yolo County Board of Supervisors, city councils, and local aging commissions in the county, YCCAAS will monitor progress in the implementation of the recommendations and provide assistance as needed. “Supervisor Jim Provenza had the foresight to bring the issue of disaster preparedness to the Yolo County Commission on Aging and Adult Services, to make sure the

A Yolo Superior Court judge sentenced a Sacramento man to local prison and probation this week following a drunken driving conviction — the defendant’s fourth offense in the past 10 years. On Jan. 21, Judge David Rosenberg sentenced 53-year-old Sacramento County man, Simon Kukhta, 53, to 240 days in jail and, upon his release from custody, 490 days of mandatory supervision for the felony DUI conviction. Kukhta’s prior convictions occurred in Sacramento County in 2010, 2014 and 2018. A Yolo County jury found Kukhta guilty on Dec. 19 after a three-day trial. The jury heard evidence that on Sept. 30, 2019, Kukhta was driving on a levee in unincorporated Yolo County after being up all night fishing. He was driving on a straight and level roadway when he drove off the levee and his car became stuck on the embankment. Kukhta, who was still on probation for his most recent DUI conviction, told officers that he had not had any alcohol and refused a breath test, but a blood test showed that Kukhta had been over twice the legal limit of 0.08 when he drove. Officers with the California Highway Patrol and a deputy with the Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office conducted the
investigation, with assistance on follow-up investigation by an investigator with the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office. Officers interviewed witnesses who had found Kukhta on the side of the levee, and executed search warrants for Kukhta’s phone and vehicle. This case was prosecuted by one of Yolo County’s specialized deputy district attorneys who are working to stem impaired driving through prosecution, education and community outreach. Under a grant from the state Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), these prosecutors provide training to law enforcement on identifying impaired drivers, educate members of the community about impaired driving, and perform community outreach to increase awareness of the dangers of impaired driving. “My office will continue to not only be proactive in preventing DUI offenses, but will also continue to go after these high-risk offenders. These repeat DUI offenders gamble with the lives of Yolo County residents and my office will not stand for it.� District Attorney Jeff Reisig said. “Our grant prosecutors are not only educating our community about the dangers of driving under the influence to prevent these incidents, but they are also holding those who drive under the influence accountable.�
who might be able to identify the man in the video.� Meanwhile, police are continuing their investigation into the assault, which occurred at about 11:45 p.m. after the woman parked her car in her driveway. As she walked toward her front door, the suspect assaulted her from behind, forced her to the ground and attempted to sexually assault her. He fled when the woman fought back and kicked at him, police said. Unable to get a clear look at her attacker, the woman

After thousands of service workers went on strike last quarter over the university’s practice of outsourcing certain service jobs to contractors, the new bargaining agreement will curtail outsourcing and make it easier for contracted workers to be converted to UC employees, the university stated. The new contract “creates career employment opportunities at UC by placing additional restrictions on UC’s ability to contract out service unit work,� UCOP said in its statement.

In addition to outsourcing restrictions on the university, the new contract includes: ■A 3-percent wage increase, plus an increase based on experience ■An annual 3-percent wage increase across the board from 2020-24 ■An annual 2-percent experience-based wage increase from 2020-24 ■For all eligible fulltime employees, a one-time payment of $2,500 upon a signed contract and a second payment of $1,500 in 2021 ■For all eligible parttime employees, a prorated one-time payment upon a signed contract and a second prorated payment in 2021 ■A one-time payment of $1,000 for employees who achieve 20 years of service

and cause it to vibrate, and those vibrations are transferred to the middle ear. The middle ear is simply the area connecting the outer ear to the inner ear but is no less important to the whole system. It is primarily made up of three tiny bones called the malleus, incus, and stapes and are the smallest bones in the human body, and together are called the ossicles. The middle ear is an air-filled cavity where these three bones reside, and they vibrate from the sound waves interacting with the ear drum. The vibrations will transfer to a small membrane called the oval window which moves fluid on its other side, which is the inner ear. The inner ear is a fluidfilled cavity and is connected to the middle ear by the oval window. Vibrations from the middle ear move the fluid present in the cochlea. The cochlea is covered in microscopic cells that look like tiny hairs, or bristles on a brush. Different bunches of these hair cells react to different

Some hair cells move when the fluid is moving fast, and others when it is moving slow, and this movement is what helps tell our brain what sound it is we are hearing. As we get older these hair cells break down and die. When a hair cell dies, it doesn’t regenerate nor can it be repaired, so a loss of a hair cell is a loss of hearing certain pitches. Higher pitches and frequencies tend to be lost earlier because these hair cells are the first ones to interact with the vibrations of the moving fluid in the cochlea and deteriorate quicker than the lower-pitched hair cells.

Aguiar-Curry pushes cancer-prevention bill Special to The Enterprise SACRAMENTO — Assemblywoman Cecilia Aguiar-Curry (D-Winters) introduced Assembly Bill 1965 on Tuesday, to require that the State Family Planning, Access, Care, and Treatment (Family PACT) Program cover the costs of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. The California Family PACT Program provides comprehensive family planning services to approximately 1.1 million low-income residents through a network of over 2,200 public and private providers. Services provided include comprehensive education, assistance, and health services related to family planning for both men and women. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 14 million Americans become infected with HPV each year. While some HPV infections will go away on their own, infections that don’t go away can cause certain types of cancer. In fact, HPV is a leading cause of cervical cancer, which is one of the most preventable cancers. There is no cure for HPV, but a vaccine exists to protect against infection from the start. Since the vaccination has been in use, HPV infections and cervical pre-cancers have dropped significantly. The CDC
says as many as 93% of cervical cancers could be avoided simply by screening and receiving the HPV vaccine. AB 1965 would require that the Family PACT program include the HPV vaccine within its covered health services. As a common, but preventable, disease which infects both males and females, we must take every possible precaution to prevent the spread of HPV. The federal government has approved the use of these funds for this purpose. In California, we simply are not exercising this authority to take full advantage of our federal funding, forcing patients to pay outof-pocket or forego such care. “We have a proven cancer-prevention treatment available to Californians,” said Aguiar-Curry. “What’s more, it’ll be paid for by drawing down federal health care funding. If we let another year go by without offering access to critical HPV and cancer prevention coverage in Family PACT, more young people will contract HPV, meaning more young people may get cancer.” Family PACT targets low-income, uninsured Californians for essential health services. The program includes family planning counselling, screening, testing and treatment. HPVprevention treatments are consistent
with the intent of the program and its intended health outcomes. Assemblymember Aguiar-Curry continued, “Cervical cancer screenings are standard reproductive health care, and your access to reproductive health, cancer screening, and prevention shouldn’t be restricted. California’s health advocates agree, requiring this coverage in Family PACT will save lives. We must act now.” Key partners on this legislation -Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, the California Medical Association, and Essential Access Health – also weighed in: “Access to critical care like cancer prevention measures and screenings shouldn’t be dictated by who you are, where you live, or what type of insurance coverage you have. Cervical cancer prevention and screenings are part of the full spectrum of reproductive health care, and reproductive health care shouldn’t be treated any differently from all health care,” said Jodi Hicks, CEO/President of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California. Aguiar-Curry represents the 4th Assembly District, which includes all of Lake and Napa Counties; parts of Colusa, Solano and Sonoma Counties; and all of Yolo County except West Sacramento.

ast week we learned a bit about the human eye and how it works, but our current exhibit is on Light & Sound, so this week’s article is about our ears and how we can hear. The human ear is made up of three main parts: the outer, middle and inner ear. All of these parts contain an intricate and specialized system of parts to help us to hear the sounds around us. Before we get to the ear, however, we should mention how sound moves through the air. When we speak, or when a car horn honks, or a stick breaks, this causes a disturbance on the air molecules and sends vibrations through the air, called sounds waves. The sound waves are picked up and channeled through our outer ear. The outer ear begins with the pinna or auricle, which if the visible part that we have on the sides of our head. The shape helps to capture sound waves and channel them through the ear canal and to the eardrum. Sound waves bounce off the eardrum

OPTIONS: Costs and pitfalls whichever way one turns ... From Page A1 just one unit after three years.
Option 2: Embrace ‘Right to Shelter’ A legal obligation for every city and county in California to provide shelter beds for every person experiencing homelessness, and a legal obligation for the homeless to accept shelter when offered. Advocates for “right to shelter” cite New York’s success in using the policy to bring its homeless population indoors — New York has a much smaller rate of “unsheltered” homeless than California. Detractors argue “right to shelter” simply warehouses people experiencing homelessness and that in a world of finite resources, permanent housing should take priority. Cost: No reliable estimate exists for what “right to shelter” would cost statewide. But it’s not cheap for New York, which spends nearly $2 billion annually on its shelter system. California has a much larger homeless population than New York, and would need more upfront investment to get new shelters built. The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office estimated providing a bed in a shelter for every homeless person in the state would cost $2 to $3 billion annually — not including the upfront cost of new construction. Speed: Building a shelter takes less time than permanent housing — if you can get neighbors and local elected officials to sign off. That’s a big if. Even progressive places like San Francisco have seen attempts to build new shelters blocked or delayed by lawsuits from neighborhood groups who fear crime and declining property values if a shelter is placed nearby. State laws have made it tougher to file these lawsuits in recent years. Political support: Not a ton of support for this one. The governor fears its cost, homelessness advocates fear its potential civil liberties restrictions and cities and counties would demand more funding if obligated to build new shelters. Speaking of …
Option 3: Sue cities that don’t do enough Most of what California cities and counties do to address homelessness is voluntary; no state law punishes cities that fail to make progress towards reducing the number of people sleeping on the streets. Newsom’s Council of Regional Homeless Advisors recommended changing that earlier this month, with a new “legally enforceable mandate” that would force municipalities and the state to take specific actions towards ending homelessness. A “designated public official” could sue a city or county for failing to hit benchmarks on emergency shelters and permanent housing, and a judge could then seize control of a local government’s homelessness initiatives. Cost: Newsom’s task force conveniently omitted how much a “legally enforceable mandate” might cost the state. But it’s not going to be cheap. Cities and counties will demand additional resources to meet the state’s goals, whatever they are. Those funds also would likely have to be annual and ongoing — something the governor has been reluctant to approve. Speed: Newsom’s task force was also ambiguous on how quickly the state should force cities to
reduce their homeless populations, recommending only an “aggressive but reasonable period of time.” Pressed, task force cochair and Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg said he would expect the vast majority of his medium-sized city’s homeless population to be housed in five years. Not every local government may be as ambitious, and it will take time for the state to set up the legal apparatus to make this work. Political support: The idea has broad support, ranging from big city mayors to progressive homelessness advocates to elected officials from some smaller local governments. But to become law, such a measure would need a two-thirds vote of both chambers in the Legislature to be placed on the November ballot, and then a majority of the vote statewide. Democrats hold a supermajority in the Legislature, but the odds would be complicated if cost-conscious cities and counties push back.
Option 4: Go big on prevention Many California cities have made strides in moving people from streets and shelters into safe, stable housing. But progress is hard to show when, as in San Francisco, three people are losing a safe place to live for every homeless person who’s being housed. Enter the many state and local programs designed to prevent individuals from falling into homelessness: emergency rental assistance, for instance, or eviction defense or “shallow subsidies” to keep families in precarious housing situations from falling through the cracks. Cost: A Chicago call center for people on the brink of homelessness distributed $3.7 million in prevention funds to nearly 3,000 households in 2018. A few hundred dollars cash was often enough to prevent tenants from losing their homes. But it’s difficult to target those programs because it’s hard to know which low-income families might have managed to avoid homelessness even without the cash assistance. Only a fraction of low-income Californians fall into homelessness. Speed: It’s easier to expand rental assistance programs quickly than to build new housing. Political support: Pretty much everyone is on board with doing more to prevent people from falling into homelessness. The real fight comes when finite financial resources are divided among prevention, shelter and permanent housing.
Option 5: Convert motels and SRO’s Not all permanent housing and emergency shelters need to be built from scratch. Local governments also can purchase and convert existing housing — like motels and single-room-occupancy properties — into homeless
housing. Or they can partner with motel owners to lease rooms or entire buildings. The state could incentivize local governments to do more of this by altering grant criteria and tweaking state law. Cost: Buying and rehabbing an existing apartment building or motel is typically much cheaper than building a new one. New permanent housing units could be brought online for roughly half the cost of building new ones, according to Sharon Rapport from the Corporation for Supportive Housing. Costs are rising, however — SRO’s in particular have been snatched up by private developers in recent years and converted to higher-end housing. Speed: The problem here is finding available properties. There just aren’t that many motel owners with tons of vacant units desperate for local governments to make them offers. Local zoning restrictions on motel conversions don’t help. Plus, if you’re going to use public funds, you can’t just throw people on the street into a dilapidated SRO — homeless housing has to meet certain standards. Motel and SRO conversions are a tool in the toolbox, but not a silver bullet. Political support: A popular idea with fairly widespread support and not a ton of opposition.
Option 6: ‘Special courts’ Former state lawmaker Mike Gatto is gathering signatures to get the “California Compassionate Intervention Act” on the November ballot. The initiative would ramp up enforcement of “quality of life” crimes like public intoxication and “willfully disturbing others” on public transit that are often ignored or deprioritized by law enforcement. Those arrested and convicted for such crimes and found to be suffering from drug addiction or mental illness would be sentenced to a three month drug rehabilitation program or up to nearly a year in a mental hospital. Cost: An estimated $900 million a year, according to the Legislative Analyst’s Office. Although it’s possible it could cost more. Speed: It’s unclear how long it would take to set up the alternative court system, but in theory it could be law Jan. 1. Political support: While the initiative’s author insists that private polling shows widespread public support, many progressives in the state detest it. Critics say it criminalizes homelessness and poverty without attacking the root of the problem: a lack of affordable housing. It’s also unclear what happens to a person experiencing homelessness after they exit rehab or a psychiatric facility.
Option 7: Tiny homes Pioneered in Oakland, “cabin communities” offer small, tough-shed like structures in place of tent
Please, don’t drink and drive. We would rather not be your designated driver.
ANNE WERNIKOFF/CALMATTERS PHOTO
The Abigail Hotel, formerly a single resident occupancy building, in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood is being converted into 62 low-income units for formerly homeless individuals. encampments. Two people can occupy a cabin at a time, and occupants can bring pets and their own belongings — something many emergency shelters don’t allow. Each community can shelter about 40 people at a time, offer meals, and restroom facilities, and provide case workers who try to place residents in longer-term housing. In a variation, some cities have explored “tiny home” villages with 500 square feet per unit of living space. Cost: Cabin communities are cheap. According to budget documents analyzed by the Bay Area Council Economic Institute, cabin communities cost $5,000 per bed to build and $21,250 per year to operate. Speed: They’re quicker than building new emergency shelters or permanent housing. Oakland put up four cabin communities within 15 months. But that’s assuming land and resources are immediately available. Political support: Lower cost, quicker deployment, reduces visible homelessness — what’s not to like? Homelessness advocates say while cabin communities can help, they’re a stopgap, not a long-term solution.
want to tackle the problem comprehensively. The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office estimated it would cost $15 billion to $30 billion annually to build new housing for every low-income Californian who needs it. Targeting those at the lowest end of the income ladder will reduce those costs, but the price tag will still be expensive. Speed: Building any new housing takes time. Building subsidized low-income housing typically takes even longer, as nonprofit developers must cobble together disparate funding sources before pitching a viable project, a process that often takes years. A homelessness czar could push for some policy tweaks here and there to speed things along, but this won’t happen overnight. Political support: Most homelessness experts and advocates agree building more low-income housing is one of the best longterm homelessness prevention strategies. Voters tend to agree, approving billions in affordable housing bonds at the state and local level over the last few years. But the ongoing dollars required to meet the scale of the problem make this tough politically.
Option 8: More extremes
Option 9: Tax empty houses
Housing for very poor Californians, heavily subsidized by public dollars. These typically look like apartment buildings but don’t include case managers or wrap-around services for people with mental illnesses or physical disabilities. According to the nonprofit California Housing Partnership, 1.3 million California renter households are considered “extremely low income”, making less than $25,000 a year. They compete for less than 300,000 affordable and available rental homes. Cost: Expensive if you
A group of homeless Oakland mothers made national headlines when they occupied a vacant property owned by a corporate house-flipper. Social justice organizations have lobbied for years to transform vacant housing into homeless housing, citing the cruel irony of luxury units remaining tenant-less while people slept on the streets. One option would be to levy a special tax on vacant units to underwrite housing for homeless people. Nonprofit developers and community land trusts
also could have right of first refusal over properties auctioned off after foreclosure. A universal property registry could be created so every landlord has to report whether their unit is occupied. Cost: This really depends on how vacant properties are sanctioned, how many a city has and how many can legally be turned into homeless housing. Implementing a tax would be straightforward, but local governments still have to certify occupancy. And it’s no silver bullet. Cities such as Vancouver and Washington, D.C., have adopted vacancy taxes but homelessness remains a problem. Speed: It depends again on the plan for the housing. A vacant property tax can be approved quickly, but it can take time to make vacant property habitable. Political support: Tenant-rights groups and anti-gentrification activists love this idea. It’s not so popular among moderates, landlords or anyone who owns a vacation home.
Option 10: Do nothing The status quo. No additional state resources beyond what we currently spend, no major policy changes, no ballot initiatives … nada. Cost: Many of your options as homelessness czar have high price tags. But keep in mind homelessness already drains billions of dollars from state and local coffers in indirect costs. The state doesn’t have a total for how much homelessness strains public health, law enforcement, park and street maintenance … but it’s a lot. One study estimated that Santa Clara County alone spent a half-billion dollars annually on indirect costs associated with homelessness, such as emergency room visits and court costs. Not to mention lost business, tourism and other private sector costs. Political support: California voters want this problem fixed, one way or another. In a recent nonpartisan poll, Californians identified homelessness as the most important issue confronting Newsom and state lawmakers this year — more important than the economy or the environment or health care. No pressure, Czar. — CalMatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

VOTING: County registration at 70% From Page A1 voters were indeed eligible to vote before the votes are actually counted. Reducing the number of conditional ballots used, however, will reduce the burden on elections staff during canvassing, noted Salinas, “so my preference is to get (students) to register by Feb. 18. “But if they miss that they can still register and vote conditional,” he said. The appeal of conditional voting was evident in the last election, Salinas said, when the service was first available but only at the county elections office in Woodland. Hundreds of people showed up at the office to register and cast votes on Election Day and nearly all were students, he said. A state law enacted last year has expanded sameday voter registration, allowing voters to register and vote on election day at any polling place. Salinas hopes to see improved voter turnout among the 18-to-24 age group in 2020. In 2018, about 21 percent of eligible voters that age cast votes, the lowest of any age group. Historically voter turnout is highest among older voters, particularly those over age 65, nearly 70 percent of whom cast votes in Yolo County in 2018. The March presidential primary, as well as the November presidential election, are likely to have high voter turnout, as
evidenced by the number of people registering to vote in Yolo County. As of this week, Salinas said, there are 114,651 registered voters in the county — “a high water mark,” he said, that’s likely to increase in the coming weeks as people continue to register in advance of the March 3 primary. All told, more than 70 percent of eligible voters in the county are now registered, Salinas said, which mirrors the rest of the state. To improve numbers among the 18-to-24 age group, however, Salinas and his elections office staff have focused heavily on outreach to young people in recent years. Those efforts have included setting up polling stations in two high schools — Esparto and Woodland — where kids voting for student council used official-looking ballots and actual voting booths, as well as the Youth Empowerment Summit that brings teens and local elected officials together one day a year. Those summits, Salinas said, have given young people not only a better understanding of how local government works, but why it matters and the impact on them. They even have a chance to preregister to vote. “But the heart and soul of this is we give them a chance to talk to local officials,” he said. At the last summit, held in 2019, some 25 local
elected officials participated. “They show up and they sit around a table and they get to talk about the issues that the young people care about.” Surveys conducted at the end of the day showed all of the participants both better understood how local government works and believed their voice matters in local government, Salinas said. He hopes the combination of encouraging young people to vote along with educating them about local government will help increase voter turn-out in nonpresidential elections as well. In visiting local high schools, he said, he’s noticed schools “are not really teaching how local government works.” However, Salinas said, “Local government is where things happen. What people fail to understand is that your City Councils, your school board members, your Board of Supervisors at the county level, they make decisions that impact people every day. And that’s being lost. I think you’re seeing it in the fact that’s there’s just not as much engagement at the local level.” Connecting young people directly with those local elected officials will change that, Salinas said, and will likely impact those young people’s families as well. “Our goal is to have these young people, who have family members who probably never voted, to let
them be ambassadors.” A number of deadlines are approaching for all interested voters as the March 3 election nears. Vote-by-mail ballots will be going out beginning Monday, Feb. 3. The last day to register to vote is Tuesday, Feb. 18. After that date, those wishing to vote in the March 3 election must do so with a conditional voter registration. Tuesday, Feb. 25, is the last day to request a voteby-mail ballot. As in previous years, vote-by-mail ballots not mailed back to the elections office may be dropped off at Yolo County libraries — including the Davis library — between Monday, Feb. 10, and 2 p.m. on Monday, March 2. Library ballot boxes will be located at the main circulation desks. Additionally, vote-bymail ballots may be dropped off at the county elections office through election day or at any polling place. As is the case throughout the state, voting by mail is becoming increasingly popular. Of the 114,651 registered voters in Yolo County, 82,021 vote by mail, Salinas said Wednesday. For more information, contact the Yolo County Elections Office — located at 625 Court St. in Woodland — via phone (530666-8133) or email (cntyclrk@yoloelections. org) or visit https://www. yoloelections.org.

Sadie Mae
Pets of the week Special to The Enterprise Lots of animals are waiting for “forever homes” at the Yolo County Animal Shelter, 2640 E. Gibson Road in Woodland. Among them is Betty White (A177434), a 14-year-old female shorthair cat, who would love a home where she can stay cozy and warm indoors. “This golden girl has a lot to say and love to give,” a shelter volunteer said. Also looking for a good home is Sadie Mae (A177479), a 6-year-old female pit bull, who has been stealing hearts with her lovely smile. She is ready to spread joy wherever she goes.
COMMISSION: Members ‘at a tipping point’ From Page A1 much to deal with in general. To put it clearly, what’s 15 (minutes) if it saves a life? I do admit that I am inspired by the City Council’s frequent forays into Wednesday morning.” After outlining his accomplishments as a BTSSC member, Edelman concluded by promising “to do my best to follow the chair’s instructions and not disrespect other commissioners, or council and staff members present. “However, it would be dishonest to myself, i.e. I’d be selling myself out, to commit to not getting angry sometimes either because I disagree with what’s trending in a discussion, or with a final vote itself. This is not a demand that people have to take my good with my bad; rather, I’m only making it clear that I’m trying to get my fellow commissioners to fight as strongly as I aspire to.” At that November meeting, the commission voted 5-0-1 (with Edelman abstaining) to censure Edelman and noted that “if behaviors continue, progressive penalties will occur.” Then at the Jan. 9 BTSCC meeting, the matter came up again with Gudz seeking commission approval to have Edelman removed. Five members of the public were
present and spoke in Edelman’s defense. According to minutes from that meeting, Alan Pryor questioned whether proper procedures were being followed and said Edelman represents the BTSSC’s “long habit of challenging the status quo.” Jon Hess, according to the minutes, called Edelman a valuable commission member who has a wealth of knowledge and Colin Walsh deemed Edelman an important member of the commission and said the commission should support different points of view. Roberta Millstein and Trish Price, meanwhile, praised Edelman’s knowledge and expertise, with Millstein saying Edelman is “the last person who should be dismissed,” according to the minutes, and Price noting the commission request to remove Edelman is “an extraordinary step and is irreversible.” Commissioners themselves weighed in at that meeting, with Mitchell saying that, to the public, “this may seem like a sudden move but has been a longstanding issue. This is not a question of knowledge or different point of view.” Rather, Mitchell said, the commission is “at a tipping point.”
Andrews, according to the minutes, said she respects Edelman and appreciates his knowledge but that the commission meets once a month and has to be able to accomplish things. “When commissioners feel their time is not respected and other peoples’ time is not respected, it doesn’t feel like a commission,” the minutes quote her as saying. Edelman noted at the January meeting that he apologized to the commission in November and that he felt he had been productive since then and had good interactions with other commissioners at the January meeting. Nevertheless, the commission voted 4-2-1 to seek his dismissal. Voting in favor were Gudz, Mitchell, Timothy Csontos and Ayush Patel. Voting against the motion were Jessica Jacobson and Edelman while Andrews abstained. Edelman’s term as a BTSSC commissioner is currently scheduled to end at the end of 2020. The City Council, which appoints all commissioners, will consider the request to remove Edelman at its meeting on Tuesday. — Reach Anne Ternus-Bellamy at aternus@davisenterprise.net.

Foster-care placements up dramatically BY DON SAYLOR Special to The Enterprise
I
t is time to examine Yolo County foster care placements. Data reported by the California Child Welfare Indicators Project on foster care placements in Yolo County reveal some disturbing trends http:// cssr.berkeley.edu/ucb_ childwelfare/. Significant policy changes made by the Board of Supervisors in 2016 contributed to dramatic increases in the number and rates of Yolo County children under 18 in out of home placement. These increases sharply reversed trends from prior years and set Yolo County on an entirely different trajectory than the state of California and neighboring counties. Moreover, the number and rates of increased placement for Yolo County’s African American and Latino children have been disproportionately higher than white children. Yolo County placements increased by 68% from 2015 to 2019. Yolo County out of home placement rates tracked the state trend from 2009 through 2015 but deviated after 2015. From 2015 to 2019, the statewide number of children in out of home placement decreased from 54,914 to 52,150, a reduction of 2764 or 5%. The number of Yolo County children in out of home placements grew from 233 on Oct. 1, 2015 to 391 on Oct. 1,
COMMENTARY 2019, an increase of 158 or 68%. As of Jan. 14, 2020, there were 408 Yolo County children in foster care. The Yolo rate of 8.0 placements per 1,000 children in 2019 is higher than two-thirds of California’s counties and is higher than our neighboring counties (Sacramento 4.6, Solano 3.7, Sonoma 4.6, Napa 4.3, Placer 2.4, Colusa 5.7, Sutter 6.5). From 2009 through 2019, the California statewide number of children in foster care decreased steadily from 6.4 per 1,000 children to 5.6 per 1,000 children. Like the rest of the state, the rate of placements in Yolo County declined from 7.6 per 1,000 in 2009 to 4.8 in 2015. However, beginning in 2016, Yolo County out of home placements per 1,000 children increased steadily to 8.0 per 1,000 on Oct. 1, 2019. African American children are more than eight times as likely to be in out of home placements than white children in Yolo County. A special section on the CCWIP site, “Disparity Indices by Ethnicity,” indicates that an African American child in Yolo County was 8.37 times more likely to be in out of home placement than a white child in 2019. The number of African American girls and boys in Yolo County in out of home placements increased from 35 in 2015 to 86
in 2019, an increase of 51 or 146% over 2015. The Yolo County rate for African American males in out of home placements rose from 31.9 per 1,000 in 2015 to a staggering 74.1 per 1,000 in 2019. This out of home placement rate of 74.1 per 1,000 African American boys in Yolo County is nearly four times that of the already appalling statewide rate of 22.6 per 1,000. Latino children have experienced similar increases in placements. In 2015, there were 94 Yolo County Latino children in out of home placements. By Oct. 1, 2019, the number of Latino Yolo County children in out of home placements had increased to 166, an increase of 72 or 77% over the 2015 level. Only 40% of Yolo County foster care placements are within Yolo County. As of July 1, 2019, 78% of all children in foster care statewide were placed within their own county. On July 1, 2019, only 42% of Yolo placements were within Yolo County. This trend is continuing. On Tuesday, Jan. 14, there were 408 children in out-of-home placements supervised by Yolo County. Only 156 children, or 38% were in placements within Yolo County. This is less than half the statewide rate of 78% for placements within the placing county. There can be good reasons to place a child outside the county.
Sometimes there is a suitable placement with a relative or a program designed for specific needs. Many of these placements are simply made due to resource limitations within Yolo County. Smaller counties typically lack available local options. But this low rate of in county placements raises questions we should pursue.

here do we go from here? I spoke and voted against several of the changes adopted by the Board in 2016 and have growing concerns. I am confident that the dedicated staff working in child welfare services in Yolo County do all in their power to make the best decisions to protect each child. The Board acted with a motivation to protect children from danger, partially in response to the horrible deaths of several children in the care of their own parents. There was an active interest in reducing barriers to removing children from their families to reduce risk of harm. That happened — substantially more children have been removed from their homes. It may be entirely warranted and in the best interests of all concerned, but removing a child from their family is a major decision. When there is severe and significant adversity, removal from the home is necessary. However, removal itself can cause trauma

funding because we have fewer disadvantaged students. Generating local revenue is the only viable option. Measure G will cost homeowners $198/year. The $3 million in revenue that this will generate has already been negotiated. The funds can only be used for staff compensation — teachers, nurses, speech therapists, psychologists, librarians, counselors and paras etc. The top four DJUSD administrators cannot receive any money. Exemptions are available for seniors and teachers, if they choose to apply for the waiver. Please vote yes for Measure G to ensure we can continue Davis’ outstanding educational legacy for future generations of children in our beloved community. Roxanne Deutsch Birch Lane Elementary
Support for Provenza Jim Provenza is an outstanding public servant who has represented District 4 on the Yolo County Board of Supervisor with distinction. His list of accomplishments is long, but his commitment to providing support for our youngest citizens has earned my endorsement for his re-election. As a trustee of the Davis Joint Unified School District, I am acutely aware of the importance of helping every child enter public school with the best chance for long-term success. Jim serves as chair of Yolo First 5 and is past chair of the Yolo County Children’s Alliance. First 5 Yolo’s mission is to assist our community to raise children who are healthy, safe and ready to learn from day one. YCCA helps to empower our young children, especially our non-English speaking children, by providing their parents access to essential services and helping to develop their parenting skills. Jim previously served two successful terms on the DJUSD Board of Trustees and was a strong advocate for educational excellence and children with special needs. As a lawyer, he has represented women and children in domestic violence and child abuse cases. Jim understands that helping children succeed is hands down the best long-term investment that a community can make. Jim has many other interests as well (e.g., environmental sustainability and protection and programs to support our elderly) but his demonstrated commitment to our children and their families deserves continued support as Yolo County Supervisor.

A silent protest Is a businesses allegiance to community worth rewarding? I was at Safeway on Covell Boulevard last week and noticed that there were approximately seven or eight shoppers lined up for the one checker on duty, and the automatic checkout had no one. Slowly it dawned on me I was witnessing a silent protest. I know it is like protesting the fact that we no longer make horse-draw buggy carriages after the introduction of the
and adverse childhood experiences. Federal and state policy, judicial precedent, and evidence based practices all point toward a primary focus on strengthening families and reuniting children with their birth families. We are currently undertaking the first statutorily required comprehensive self-assessment of child welfare services since the 2016 policy changes. I will be asking a number of questions when the board hears an update on that review later this year. Why did total placements increase so dramatically? What can we do to address the disproportionate rate of removals of children of color? What role did the 2016 policy changes contribute? Has the pendulum swung too far? What outcomes are children and their families experiencing? Are there policy and process refinements that should be made? In Yolo County we care about evidence and continuous improvement. I am confident that we will advance our shared commitment to improving the lives of children and their families. It is time to reassess. — Don Saylor is a member of the Yolo County Board of Supervisors, representing District 2, including the communities of Davis and Winters, the UC Davis campus and rural areas in the southwestern area of Yolo County.
automobile, but there is an issue of automating everything that is worth exploring. As automation takes over, and it will, how do we remain involved with our communities as individuals and what is a companies responsibility to the community it is involved in? Granted, the cheerful “hello, find everything you wanted?” isn’t real contact, but it is a pleasantry that adds to the fabric of life. I remember one bagger at Safeway saying that in two weeks he was going to celebrate 15 years with them — it made me smile. One checker announced that her son had graduated from college — I felt proud for him and felt a part of the community of Davis. This is something our country needs to talk about soon — very soon given the increase in automation and coming of driverless cars, etc. But back to Safeway. Eventually, they gave in and put two other checkers on duty, but then I noticed that every, I mean every single person who has worked at Safeway on Russell for 15-20 plus years was gone. Gone! Safeway, who got a great corporate tax credit, apparently needed to make even more money, so they fired all their long-term employees and hired cheaper ones. Apparently, from now on they will only take from this community and give as little back as possible. I felt a need to protest! So I’ve decided that until we as a nation begin the dialogue about the cost of automation on people and society, I will do what I can to thank stores like Nugget, Trader Joe’s and Davis Food Coop for

Yes on Measure G Please join me in voting yes for Measure G on March 3. I purchased a home and relocated to Davis with my daughter in 1999, because I surprisingly found that the elementary schools offered science, music, reading teachers, librarians and more! At the time, my friends in San Francisco were sending their children to private school, paying $10,000 a year to enjoy what Davis public schools offered. My daughter took full advantage of these opportunities in Davis, graduated college cum laude and is now obtaining her MSW at UC Berkeley. We are forever grateful to her incredibly talented and dedicated teachers at Chávez, Harper and DHS who set her on this path. The excellent Davis schools that we all know and love are actually in jeopardy. At Birch Lane, for example, the Montessori program has started school with substitutes the last seven years! We also have a high turn-over of special-education teachers. A crisis is looming for Davis schools. In the next three to seven years, 30% of our experienced teachers will retire. California is experiencing a teacher shortage, and newly credentialed teachers do not apply to Davis because the salary is among the lowest in the region. DJUSD is down to 3% reserves and we get less state

No shame I have been surprised by voices implying that any support for Linda Deos is a betrayal and an act of disrespect of the incumbent 4th District supervisor. I am grateful for Supervisor Provenza’s 35 years of public service as a public interest lawyer, on the Davis school board and as a Yolo supervisor. Yet while he has told Ms. Deos that her “time has not yet arrived,” I am one of many who disagree. The economic disparities in Yolo County continue to grow, forcing more people into homelessness. We are expanding our county jail, where according to the Sheriff, 50-70% of its inmates have yet to go to trial. Our foster care system has not recovered from the disastrous and disruptive years when the department was dismantled by the Board of Supervisors. Despite years of effort, we still have no data-driven management system to track the mentally ill who get caught up in our criminal justice system. Today’s problems require more than status-quo leadership. It is time for fresh new energy. We need someone who can look at problems with clear eyes and invite expertise and community creativity to address them. We need someone who will dialogue with those who may differ, with the intention of seeking common ground. There is no shame in passing leadership roles to those with the fire, drive and skills to proactively and collaboratively envision new solutions. I support Linda Deos because I believe we need her energy now. Francesca Wright Davis

Tips to keep kids safe while driving Special to The Enterprise With all the distractions on today's roads, parents are feeling increasingly anxious about keeping their children safe while driving. According to a new study, more than six in ten American parents believe roads today are more dangerous than ever, and are actively seeking guidance on how to properly protect their loved ones when they're on the go. To help parents overcome their anxiety around child safety on the road, Volvo Car USA and Britax worked together to curate helpful tips to keep children protected from harm and give peace of mind to parents. Parents are overwhelmed when researching child safety products. Parents have never had more options or information available to help them make decisions, yet for nearly two-thirds of parents, this is causing more confusion and stress. Almost all new parents (97%) find it overwhelming to research products - with 58% citing car seats specifically as a product they are seeking more guidance on how to install and use properly.
Keep children in rear-facing car seats as long as possible In some states, children are required by law to sit rear-facing until a certain age. However, that does not
mean they should move to a forward-facing seat immediately when they reach that age. Safety experts recommend children remain rear-facing until reaching the maximum height or weight restrictions for that seat. Rear-facing seats spread crash forces more evenly across the back of the car seat. Besides keeping children rear-facing as long as possible, make sure you've installed the safety seat correctly. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), nearly three in five (59%) car seats are installed incorrectly. Additional resources and information about car seat installation can be found at nhtsa.gov.
Install harnessed seats using either the LATCH system or the safety belt One of the most common misconceptions in car seat installation is that utilizing the LATCH system and safety belt together adds a layer of protection, when in fact, it's not recommended by most car seat and vehicle manufacturers. Read both the seat instructions and vehicle owner's manual to determine the best way to install the car seat and ensure the seat does not move more than one inch side-to-side or front-to-back at the belt path once installed. Parents are distracted
when driving with children. Two-thirds of parents surveyed said they often feel distracted while driving with children. About one in three parents reported children throwing a tantrum or getting sick while they were driving, leading them to shift their focus away from the road. As a result, one in four new parents said they unintentionally ran over a curb while driving with children, while one in five admitted to getting into a fender bender with their child in the car.
Avoid reaching into the back seat while driving Whether you're reaching for an item, consoling a child or breaking up an argument, it's safer to pull over and address the issue than to take your eyes off the road, even when stopped
behind stalled traffic, at a stop sign or traffic signal. Better to arrive at your destination late than to end up in an accident. Parents also said they've experienced children throwing a toy (22%) or food (18%) at them from the backseat while they were driving.
an unexpected item hurled at the driver, but also prevents the possibility of items becoming projectiles that could harm passengers
in the event of a crash. To read the full report from Volvo USA and The Harris Poll, visit volvocars.com. —Brandpoint

Museum’s winter shows celebrated Manetti Shrem to open shows by Kaltenbach, UCD art faculty Special to The Enterprise
N
orthern California artists who made significant contributions to modern art at pivotal moments in the 1960s and beyond will be celebrated in two new exhibitions at the Manetti Shrem Museum at UC Davis. These winter season exhibitions will be celebrated with a public opening event from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 26. The afternoon features an artist talk with exhibiting artist Stephen Kaltenbach and the co-curators, Constance Lewallen and Ted Mann, at 3:30 p.m., as well as artmaking activities, live music and the chance to see a new outdoor installation of five of Manuel Neri’s bronze sculptures on the west side of the museum that complements the “Gesture” exhibition. “Stephen Kaltenbach: The Beginning and The End” is the Davis artist’s first solo museum exhibition in the United States in nearly 40 years. The UC Davis graduate (bachelor’s degree in 1966 and master’s in 1967) made an important contribution to

Stephen Kaltenbach’s “Portrait of MyFather,” an acrylic on canvas, will be part of the exhibit “Stephen Kaltenbach: The Beginning and The End” on display at the Manetti Shrem Museum from Jan. 26 to May 10. The piece is on loan from the Crocker Art Museum. the development of conceptual art during the late 1960s, but just as he was achieving career success, he abruptly withdrew to California’s Central Valley, appearing to abandon conceptual work in favor of more traditional mediums. Fifty years later, the exhibition considers Kaltenbach’s engagement with time as a principal theme across his diverse career. The past two decades have witnessed a revival of interest in Kaltenbach’s work, and in 2009, he revealed that he continued to produce conceptual work alongside his well-known paintings (such as “Portrait of My Father,” 1972-79) and
public sculptures after 1970. This seeming aboutface was, in fact, part of a calculated, decades-long project. The show runs through May 10. “Gesture: The Human Figure After Abstraction: Selections from the Manetti Shrem Museum” presents 25 works by UC Davis art department firstgeneration faculty artists — Robert Arneson, Roy De Forest, Ruth Horsting, Manuel Neri, Roland Petersen, Wayne Thiebaud and William T. Wiley — that emerged following a seismic shift in art philosophy in the 1950s. It may be hard to imagine painting the figure as a radical act, but in 1950,
when a professor at the California School of Fine Arts (now the San Francisco Art Institute) revolted against the dominant orthodoxy of abstraction, faculty and students were forced to choose sides. As students at the school, De Forest, Neri, Petersen and Wiley practiced formal techniques of abstraction. But as they made their way to UCD starting in 1958 to join the art department faculty, they began to adapt abstract expressionist practices to visualize the human figure and the distinctive experience of living in Northern California. Ultimately, these artists’

UC Davis Symphony to play music from war-torn countries BY JEFF HUDSON Enterprise staff writer The UC Davis Symphony Orchestra will present an unusual concert at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 1, in the Mondavi Center’s Jackson Hall, pairing two landmark moody works by French composer Maurice Ravel alongside two more recent pieces. One of Ravel’s works dates from just before World War I and the other was composed in that disastrous European war’s dreary aftermath. The recent works showcase a traditional Korean fiddle known as a haegeum as the featured solo instrument alongside a Western-style symphony orchestra. Christian Baldini, the orchestra’s conductor, has composed a new concerto for haegeum titled “Unequal Freedom” (played by Korean haegeum artist Soo-yeon Lyuh), which was partially inspired by a visit to the Korean Peninsula during the past few years. Baldini, who was born and raised in Argentina, remarked that, “When I was considering the content and structure of this piece, I was, of course, very much

Christian Baldini serves as both a composer and the conductor for the UC Davis Symphony Orchestra’s performance on Saturday, Feb. 1. The concert also will feature works by French composer Maurice Ravel. inspired by the incredible expressive breadth and virtuosity of the extraordinary performer for which I would write it. Soo-yeon Lyuh is without a doubt one of the most accomplished haegeum players in the world, so it was a fascinating prospect to write a concerto for her. “I spent two weeks in Seoul this past summer doing research at the National Gugak Center (the Korean institute for folk music), and I learned a huge amount
about Korean traditional music, (and) also about the country’s history, its contemporary culture and about the wonderful Korean people, making important new friends. This totally changed the course of what this concerto would sound like, and what its main focus would be,” he added. “The Korean Peninsula has been divided for too long a time. People from the North are taught to see those from the South as enemies and vice versa. Families have been separated across the border due to this artificial division created along the 38th parallel. The cruelty of this political separation, the human rights violations that are related to it and its similarities to our contemporary world hit a nerve that inevitably left me with no choice but to dedicate this piece to those people that have been victims of our politicians and their wars. “Many sounds and images have gone through my mind as I got more and more involved with this project, from the image of the Berlin Wall dividing Germany into two nations, to the proposal of a border wall (between the U.S.A. and Mexico) to separate families and communities across

“When I was considering the content and structure of this piece, I was, of course, very much inspired by the incredible expressive breadth and virtuosity of the extraordinary performer for which I would write it.” Christian Baldini UCD Symphony Orchestra’s conductor and composer North America.” The piece references North Korean defectors and a South Korean woman who was kept as a prisoner by North Korean authorities.
“With the help of UC Davis students Lydia Lee, Grace Mun and Samuel Lee, and the invaluable translations of Dr. Hee-won Lee (professor of astrophysics at Sejong University), I used for this piece several letters of family members that were separated across the border,” Baldini said. “This is a piece about freedom, and a metaphor for how different we are allowed to feel in today’s world depending on which nationality or passport we carry,” he added. Also on the program will be be “The Woven Silk,” a piece composed in 2017 for haegeum and orchestra by Korean-born composer Jean Ahn, who studied at Seoul University and UC Berkeley and now lives in the San Francisco area. Framing these two works for haegeum and orchestra will be two early 20th Century works by Ravel: ■ “Pavane pour une infante défunte” (sometimes translated as “Pavane for a Dead Princess”) is a stately, mournful sevenminute piece that was composed for solo piano in 1899 and then

Animated film suggests a cheeky origin for a jolly elf BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic The holidays are weeks behind us, but — thanks to the recently announced Academy Award nominations — a little slice of Christmas warrants renewed attention. “Klaus” garnered very limited theatrical release for a heartbeat in early November, just long enough to qualify for its well-deserved Oscar nomination; availability since then has been solely via Netflix, which certainly picked the right project for its debut animated feature film. Co-directors Sergio Pablos and Carlos Martínez López have delivered a marvelous seasonal bonbon that’s equal parts charming, snarky, sentimental and — ultimately — powerfully heartwarming. Several earlier films — many of them not very good — have contemplated the origin of Santa Claus. (1985’s “Santa Claus: The Movie” is a particularly notorious stinker.) The approach generally involves a good-hearted fellow who enthusiastically accepts this noble responsibility; some films also acknowledge references to the fourth-century Greek Christian bishop now known as Saint Nicholas. Pablos — assisted by cowriters Jim Mahoney and Zach Lewis — has taken an entirely different tack. Postmaster General Johansen (voiced with regal bearing by Sam McMurray) has devoted his life to the service; he’s therefore dismayed that his ne’er-do-well son, Jesper (Jason Schwartzman), has distinguished himself as the Postal Academy’s worst student. Angered beyond words, Dad banishes Jesper to the frozen island of Smeerensburg, miles above the Arctic Circle. The lad is given one year to deliver at least 6,000 letters, or he’ll be stuck there forever. This edict isn’t merely unlikely; it’s downright impossible. Smeerensburg’s two primary clans — the Krums and Ellingboes — have long been divided by a Capulet/ Montague-style feud that extends back generations. Cranky current shot-callers Mrs. Krum (Joan Cusack) and Mr. Ellingboe (Will Sasso) don’t even know why they’re feuding, but … well … tradition is tradition. And because both clans refuse to allow their
COURTESY PHOTO
Having failed in his every effort to make a go of his forlornly empty local post office, Jesper shares his woes with tiny Margú, who listens attentively — despite not understanding a single word. children to share the same classroom, nobody in town knows how to read or write. That latter detail came as a nasty shock five years earlier to schoolteacher Alva (Rashida Jones), who pragmatically transformed her desk into a fish counter, where she butchers the latest catches and hopes to eventually save enough to head somewhere more intellectually tolerant. The result, of course, is that nobody sends or receives mail. Which is a major crisis. Petulantly mourning the absence of his cozy linens and piping-hot fancy coffees, stuck in a dilapidated office with only a coop of chickens for company, Jesper hasn’t the faintest idea how to interact with Smeerensburg’s residents. He also gets into trouble, thanks to prankish suggestions from wry boat captain Mogens (Norm Macdonald), who has brought many postmen to these frozen shores and watched all of them chased out of town. And yet, as the story proceeds, we begin to wonder if Mogens’ behavior has a deeper purpose; he serves as this story’s trickster figure, (intentionally?) facilitating key plot developments. The most important of which is Jesper’s unexpected introduction to the monosyllabic and massively imposing Klaus (J.K. Simmons), a recluse hidden deep in the woods. His unsociable bearing notwithstanding, Klaus is a skilled woodworker and toymaker, and his cabin is laden with all manner of hand-crafted treasures. By this point, we suspect where Pablos and López are taking us, but the journey is by no means predictable. Jesper remains a self-centered jerk for quite some time; indeed, his behavior is so boorish during the first act, that he becomes rather hard to endure. Even his occasional “benevolent” gestures result mostly from selfish motives, and that’s what makes this story so
SYMPHONY: ‘La Valse’ composed as ballet score From Page B1 orchestrated by Ravel in 1910, as Europe was drifting into World War I, which is believed to have triggered the deaths of nine million combatants plus seven million civilians (World War I ended in 1918, in no small part of the worldwide outbreak of a potent new flu virus that killed another 50 million to 100 million people, leaving armies in Europe critically short of troops). ■ “La Valse,” an orchestral “choreographic poem” from 1919-1920 — the immediate aftermath of World War I. “La Valse” was originally composed as a ballet score, but is now more commonly performed as a concert piece. “La Valse” begins with a dark interpretation of a traditional European waltz (a
style hugely popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s) that becomes more distorted and violent as the music proceeds. Many listeners at that time — and today — interpret “La Valse” as a metaphor for elegant European societies pleasantly dancing while that continent drifted into a very destructive war. Ravel, for his part, said that “this dance may seem tragic ... pushed to the extreme.” But he added he felt “‘La Valse’ doesn’t have anything to do with the present situation (in postWorld War I Europe) and it doesn’t have any symbolic meaning in that regard.” Tickets are $24 general and $12 for students and children, available at www. MondaviArts.org, by calling 530-754-2787 and at the door.
‘Klaus’ Starring (voices): Jason Schwartzman, J.K. Simmons, Rashida Jones, Joan Cusack, Norm Macdonald, Will Sasso and Neda Magrethe Labba Rating: PG, for mild rude humor enchanting; without realizing it, Jesper’s seemingly random and spiteful behavior crafts an increasingly complex legend (with details familiar to us all). Charles Dickens knew that Christmas is all about redemption, and this film unerringly treads that wellworn narrative path. The story’s other key character is a little girl named Margú (Neda Magrethe Labba), who belongs to the island’s indigenous residents, and chatters nonstop in her indecipherable Sámi dialect. Where Jesper’s appearance is exaggerated angles and sharp edges — complementing his prickly personality — Márgu has the cuter, rounded design of a Russian nesting doll. She’s completely adorable, particularly as she becomes Jesper’s shadow and tiny confidant. At his lowest, she listens and somehow seems to understand, regardless of the impenetrable language barrier. Despite the hilariously exaggerated icy setting — Smeerensburg is conceived as a composite of landscape and architecture found in Norway, Sweden and Iceland — the film’s look and atmosphere are surprisingly warm: absolutely the
result of Pablos and López having made this an entirely hand-drawn animated film. (It’s the first such studio feature since Disney’s “The Princess and the Frog,” back in 2009.) Character designer Torsten Schrank had a lot of fun with these various folks. Alva shares Jesper’s sharp-edged appearance, reflecting the bitterness that has fueled her five years in Smeerensburg. The Krums and Ellingboes are defined not only by distinctive body types (ridiculously bony or corpulent) but also by color schemes one would expect from soccer fans: reds and oranges versus blues and grays. Sight gags abound, and the dialogue is deliciously snarky; the action is wellpaced by Pablos, López and editor Pablo García Revert. Composer Alfonso G. Aguilar heightens the humor and drama via a score rich with individual character themes, and a memorable primary cue that repeats throughout the film (which he dubbed “A Story About Letters,” while working it out on his piano). In a word, “Klaus” is a treasure: an unabashed valentine not only to Christmas and Santa Claus but also to mail carriers. It has just enough bite to avoid becoming cloying, once we slide into an increasingly sentimental third act that emphasizes the importance of friendship, joy, love and — most of all — altruistic kindness. Qualities in woefully short supply, these days. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http://derrickbang. blogspot.com. Comment on this review at www. davisenterprise.com.

Alex Jenkins Quartet to take stage Enterprise staff Watermelon Music presents the Alex Jenkins Quartet, a regular fixture around the California jazz scene for several years, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 25, at The Melon Ball, 1970 Lake Blvd. in West Davis. Doors open at 7 p.m.
They will play music from their new album, “Live at the CLARA” as well as some classic jazz standards. Due to his in-depth study of the music of different cultures, Jenkins’ playing transcends musical traditions. His expression of rhythm is heavily influenced by his study of tabla.
As a result, he has become known for his creative approach to music and his unique ability to fuse rhythmic ideas from various disciplines into one cohesive sound. Tickets are $15, available in the store, at the doors, and online at watermelonmusic.com. The Melon Ball is a B.Y.O.B venue.

Do-si-do at contra dance at The Palms Erik Hoffman will call to music of Ruby Mountain String Band Special to The Enterprise Get ready to do-si-do, swing your partner and promenade at a contra dance at The Palms Playhouse, 13 Main St. in Winters, on Sunday, Feb. 2. Hosted by The Palms and the Sacramento Country Dance Society, the event will start with a beginners’ orientation and lesson at 1:30 p.m., followed by dancing from 2 to 5 p.m. Erik Hoffman will call to the music of the Ruby Mountain String Band. The cost is $12 for general admission, $10 for seniors and active military and $8 for students. Contra dance music is lively reels or jigs in the Celtic and bluegrass traditions. Traditional contra dance is a precursor of square dancing but is unrelated to modern country and western line dancing. Contra dance in America evolved from English country dances and has been enjoyed continuously as a true community dance since the time of the English colonies in America. Lighthearted and social, contra is danced in two lines of couples that dance various patterns or figures with one another. By the end of the overall pattern, each leading couple will have exchanged places with another couple, and the dance repeats until all couples in the lines have danced with one another.
The dancers follow the instructions of a caller, who usually teaches each dance first. Once the band strikes up a tune, the caller matches the dancers’ steps to the music. Hoffman, who will call the Feb. 2 dance, has been calling contra and square dances since 1985 and is an expert at getting people unfamiliar with the style up and having a great time dancing. Hoffman is also a decorated fiddler and traditional singer. The Ruby Mountain String Band is Darin Smith (fiddle), Cliff Landis (banjo, guitar and fiddle) and Bob Daley (mandolin). A hallmark of contra dancing is that dancers don’t stay matched with one partner. Dancers are welcome to arrive solo, with friends or with family. SCDS and Palms events are accessible to people with disabilities. The bar will be open with all of the usual refreshments available for purchase. Tickets are available at Armadillo Music in Davis, Pacific Ace Hardware in Winters, Davids’ Broken Note in Woodland, online via The Palms’ website and Eventbrite and at the door if not sold out.

Work of Hamilton, Shaw on display at The Artery Special to The Enterprise The Artery presents “North Coast Visions: A Photographer and A Painter,” with the work of photographer Jock Hamilton and painter Adele Shaw, from Jan. 30 to Feb. 24. A reception is from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 14, and the artists will talk about their art beginning at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 19. Hamilton and Shaw take one dramatic aspect of California, the North Coast, and illustrate how two different artistic mediums capture the energy and spirit of the land. They looked at nature’s patterns, which reflected repetition and time, and imbued their work with the power of this
area’s beauty. Both artists are inspired by light, recognizing how both photography and paint, in unique ways, encapsulate the light that infuses each scene. “The play of light, angle, intensity, color, all work together to define an image and woven into this show is the force of the ocean and the wind, the passage of time, and how infinitely small we are against the universe that surrounds us,” Hamilton said. Shaw says that the encaustic process is more technical than most painting media. She says working with wax is as close to alchemy as she’s ever found. Encaustic is an ancient medium that has Greek

New York Times bestselling cookbook author Samin Nosrat will appear at the Mondavi Center on Wednesday, Jan. 29.
Chef to discuss bestselling cookbook BY JEFF HUDSON Enterprise staff writer Cookbook author Samin Nosrat — a regular food columnist with the New York Times Magazine — will come to the Mondavi Center at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 29. Nosrat’s cookbook “Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking” was a New York Times bestseller and won the 2018 James Beard General Cookbook of the Year award, and is the basis for her documentary series currently streaming on Netflix. Nosrat was born in San Diego to parents that came to the United States from Iran. She attended UC Berkeley, majoring in English, but along the way, she enjoyed a memorable dinner at the famous Berkeley
restaurant Chez Panisse and decided to become a chef, and eventually got a job at that landmark restaurant. Alice Waters, the longtime owner and guiding spirit at Chez Panisse, subsequently dubbed Nosrat “America’s next great cooking teacher.” At the Mondavi Center, Nosrat will participate in a 60-minute conversation with Charlotte Biltekoff, associate professor of American studies and food science and technology at UC Davis, followed by a question-and-answer session with the audience. The entire program will run about 80 minutes without an intermission. Tickets are $45 general with discounts for students, available at www.mondavi arts.org or by calling 530-754-2787.
Jazz piano prodigy Joey Alexander has been wowing audiences for years now. Born on the Indonesian island of Bali in June 2003, and he and his family moved to New York City in 2014 to pursue further studies and a career in the jazz field. Alexander made a splash when he released his first American album (“My Favorite Things”) in 2015. When he played at the Mondavi Center in 2016, he sold out the Vanderhoef Studio Theatre for four consecutive nights. Alexander is now a 16-year-old and already has six albums (plus a Christmas EP) to his credit and three Grammy Award nominations. He’s coming back to the Mondavi Center, leading his jazz trio, at 8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 31, and this time he’ll be playing in Jackson Hall. It’s a fairly safe bet that he will be playing some material from his new album “Warna,” which is due out on the Verve label the very day of

Fabulous performance from lead in ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ BY BEV SYKES Enterprise theater critic “Dear Evan Hansen,” the current Broadway on Tour production, is perhaps the most visually exciting show you will see this year. The set is a cacophony of social media: big screens, little screens, vertical screens, horizontal screens, which practically fill the stage, slide in and out and up and down and play various things from text messages and tweets to Facebook entries, to photos and videos and even a penguin or two. It’s tour de force for scenic designer David Korins, projection designer Peter Nigrini and the crew that make it all work. But the set is only the beginning of this 2017 Tony award winner for Best Musical, which is perhaps a testament to where theater may be going in the 21st century. Evan Hansen (Stephen Christopher Anthony) is an isolated teenager longing to fit in. His arm is in a cast from, he explains, falling out of a tree on a summer job he was working, an incident which becomes more significant as the story progresses. He is about to start a new school, is on medication and is regularly seeing a therapist, who suggests he write himself a letter every morning to talk about positive things that he expects to happen that day. His single mother Heidi (Jessica E. Sherman)

Things don’t go well, however, and the only student with whom he has an encounter is a guy named Connor (Noah Kieserman), who signs the cast with huge letters, and gets angry with Evan when he learns of the boy’s attraction to his

Three days later, Connor takes his own life, leaving his family bereft. Anthony’s performance is astounding. He carries the show and has a couple of solos that are very moving, especially “You Will Be Found,” a message to every alienated person, and “Words Fail,” the ultimate apology song. Connor’s family, father Larry (John Hemphill), mother Cynthia (Colleen Sexton) and daughter Zoe
(Stephanie La Rochelle) are the perfect grieving family. Cynthia is distraught and missing her beloved child, Larry is confused and angry at his son and doesn’t know how to express his grief, Zoe is furious and won’t even talk about him. She calls him a monster. The lie Evan will eventually tell them ultimately brings the three of them together as a family. Unsure what to say to a

grieving family, Evan hints that he and Connor were friends and that simple lie, as lies often do, grows and grows until it encompasses not only the family and the school but ultimately the whole country, as Evan is asked to speak about Connor at a memorial service and his nervous speech (“You Will Be Found”) goes viral on the internet and results in a GoFundMe site to raise money to reopen an apple orchard in Connor’s memory. Helping perpetuate his lie are Evan’s cousin Jared (Alessandro Costantini), who provides humor to the
story, and a friend Alana (Ciara Alyse Harris), who becomes the zealous copresident of the Connor Murphy Project. As the lie begins to unravel, everyone is affected, particularly Connor’s mother Heidi, who, realizing how miserable her son has been, has a particularly moving and showstopping solo with “So Big/ So Small.” Loneliness, bullying and suicide may not seem like ingredients for a hit Broadway musical, but “Dear Evan Hansen” has struck a chord, especially with younger people.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE
FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 2020 B5
Composer will appear at UCD Special to The Enterprise Wayne Barker, the Tony Award-nominated composer of “Peter and the Starcatcher,” will discuss his career and perform his songs and music at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 5, in the Arena Theatre, Wright Hall, on the UC Davis campus. The event is free and open to the public. Barker performed for six years with Barry Humphries/Dame Edna Everage, including Broadway’s “Dame Edna: Back with a Vengeance” and “All About Me,” and collaborated with Humphries on lyrics for the productions. He composed and performed the piano scores for the world premiere of Beth Henley’s “Laugh” at Studio Theatre in Washington, D.C., Joe DiPietro’s “Hollywood” at La Jolla Playhouse, and “The Primrose Path” and “The Great Gatsbay” at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis. His music can also be heard throughout “A Little Curious” on HBO Family. He has contributed dozens of original arrangements to symphony pops programs, including those
presented by the New York Pops, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Minnesota Orchestra and the Baltimore, Chicago, San Francisco and St. Louis symphonies, among many others. “The department of theater and dance is delighted to have Wayne on campus, discussing his music for ‘Peter and the Starcatcher,’ our winter departmental production,” said Mindy Cooper, professor of theater and co-director of the production. “As a research one institute, we are pleased to learn more about his creative process and his influences, ideas and how he collaborates in a theatrical setting to further the narrative musically.” Barker’s appearance is presented by the College of Letters and Science’s department of thater and dance, which is producing “Peter and the Starcatcher” on Feb. 27 to 29 and March 5 to 7.

‘Popcorn Falls’ keeps ’em laughing Alexander, Pierini juggle multiple roles impressively BY BEV SYKES Enterprise theater critic “Popcorn Falls,” the comedy currently at B Street Theatre, directed by Lyndsay Burch, is advertised to be “a side-splitting tour de force exploding with humor and heart!” A small town in Michigan was playwright James Hindman’s inspiration for the show. The town was on the verge of bankruptcy until a theater opened. People responded and a couple of years later, the town had two theaters, a hotel and a restaurant jammed with people and the town was saved. Popcorn Falls is a fictitious town whose tourist attraction is its namesake

sizeable sum of money if they can put on a play in a week. There’s only one problem — there is no theater, no play and no actors. No problem, says Trundle, as he meets other members of the town to get a play produced, proving (as the synopsis in the opening monologue suggests) that “art can save the world.” Alexander and Dave Pierini, two of B Street’s most popular actors, play more than 20 characters in this comedy, among them, Joe, a janitor; Becky, a bartender; Ms. Parker, the cat-loving town librarian; Floyd, the one-armed owner of the lumber yard; Mrs. Stepp, the chainsmoking middle school teacher and town vamp; and a bored teenager. Unlike “Greater Tuna,” to which this comedy is often compared, there are no real
“costume changes,” and each appearance of a character lasts only a few seconds. Pierini plays most of the characters by changing headgear, minor costume details, body language and accent in an eyeblink, while Alexander is the “straight man,” mostly the mayor and, briefly, one or two other characters. The speed with which characters appear and disappear is both very funny, but also occasionally confusing since appearances occur so fast it’s sometimes difficult to keep the characters straight, though in the “plot” it hardly matters. Nevertheless, it’s an amazing achievement, particularly for Pierini, and keeps the audience laughing throughout the 90-minute, one-act performance. There’s even a kind of surprise ending, but I won’t give it away.

GALLAUDET: What a year From Page B10 pretty fair teams. But only once did his Aggies make it to the Division II College World Series. Of course, it was 1995. An unlikely participant, Swim’s Aggies started the year 0-8. By the time the playoffs arrived, UCD was literally hitting on all eight cylinders — showcased by Scott Winton’s ninth-inning, bases-loaded double that eliminated UC Riverside, 7-6, and sent the locals off to Montgomery, Ala. Matt Vaughn, a Swimley disciple, now coaches the Aggies at Dobbins Stadium — on Phil Swimley Field. ■ Oh, yeah. And that 1995 Blue Devil basketball team? Well, just know it was a lot of heart and lateseason grit that propelled those young men to the title. See you Wednesday for an in-depth look at how a four-game playoff win streak (on the road) meant a section crown. — Reach Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet41@gmail.com or 530320-4456.

A bumper romp in Napa Career-best 19 for Beal BY LEV FARRIS GOLDENBERG Enterprise staff writer January can be bleak, with its gray skies, rainy days and frequent road games. But the Blue Devil girls hoopsters chose to view their recent slate of away games as opportunities to learn and improve. In the second of two nonleague games this week, DHS lit up Napa High, 70-42, on Wednesday night in Wine Country. Five out of Davis’ last six games have been away from the cozy confines of The Cage, but the Blue Crew is focused. “We wanted to use these two games this week as learning (opportunities),” said head coach Heather Highshoe, “reflecting and working on the things we need to do better, come league games.” Coming off of three straight losses in the Delta League, DHS (11-8 overall, 1-3 league) handled the Rams in Dixon on Monday night, 42-38, before laying waste to Napa. With top-scorer Emme Eisenman still unavailable due to injury, Surina Beal led the way for the Devils, bucketing a season-high 19 points.

Blue Devil Surina Beal, left, shown here in Monday’s win over Dixon, scored a career-high 19 against Napa in a nonleague game on Wednesday. After shooting just 2 for 18 from 3-point land in Friday’s 63-39 home loss to Franklin, Davis was 5 of 13 from beyond the arc on Wednesday. The Devils clung to a 39-29 lead at halftime, but held the Grizzlies to just 6 and 7 points in the third and fourth periods, respectively. “We were able to kind of get back into that rhythm of pushing the ball, pushing the tempo,” Highshoe told The Enterprise. “The execution in the half-court
of our offense in the second half (was great). “Overall, the execution in the second half was night-and-day compared to the first half,” the coach added. “We still need to work toward playing four consistent quarters.” Contributions came from many players — Mara Bledsoe scored 11 and pulled down seven offensive boards, Sydney Skinner tallied 10 points and Caitlin McMillan added 9. Lily Hessl contributed 8 points
to the all-around effort, and Courtney Rutherford added 6. Kate Nelson was huge on the glass for Davis, grabbing 11 rebounds and scoring 6 points. The Devils dominated on the boards, tallying 42 total rebounds, including 22 offensive boards, which was more than the 21 the Grizzlies snagged overall. DHS also won the turnover battle, 20-14, and shot 11 of 21 from the charity stripe. “To see them look for their shots and then be successful in that, I think it made them feel good,” Highshoe said of her players. “So we’re just gonna try to carry that momentum into Pleasant Grove.” The Devils might be blind going into Friday’s home matchup with the Eagles (7 p.m.). Highshoe laments that she has no film of the Eagles and has not seen PG play. The Eagles (7-12, 0-4) returned just one player from last season’s 0-12 Delta squad. The big test comes next Tuesday when Davis visits St. Francis (10-9, 3-1) at 7 p.m. Mark those calendars, folks. Notes: In her time at DHS, Highshoe is 3-0 against Napa, her alma mater. ... Sophomore Sophia Tinnon led the Griz with 8 points and senior Devan Wickersham added 7. — Reach Lev Farris Golden-
Winters blanketed by Blizzard Special to The Enterprise WINTERS — The under-12 girls Davis Blizzard started the AYSO Select season by dominating both sides of the ball in a 4-0 victory Saturday against Winters. On the Waggoner Elementary School pitch, the Blizzard’s Odessa Frohlich put Davis up 2-0 in the first quarter with a brace of goals, courtesy of assists by striker Avery Wolk. Suffocating defense by Gianna Koehler, Morgan Quest and Reese Watterson — and lights-out goal keeping by Suzette Cruz, Frohlich, Emma Kerr and Watterson — kept the hosts off the board. Second-half goals by Maria NoctorCerdeño and Wolk and a devastating midfield consortium of Charlotte Coil, Addie Lillenord, Jocelyn Quechuleno and Angie Schick put the game out of reach.

DAVIS MEN: ‘Bittersweet win’ for Aggie alum From Page B10 as Davis went on a dry spell of 7:11 that allowed Fullerton to go on a 10-0 run that eventually produced a 31-24 halftime lead for the Titans. “The way we came out was a disservice to that jersey and the name on the front of our uniform,” Les went on. “We did not play with the enthusiasm and energy that fits the history of this program.” Fullerton stretched the lead to 49-39 early in the second half, but freshmen Ezra Manjon and Elijah Pepper ignited a comeback that produced a 52-52 standoff and, finally,
drew the small weekday crowd into the game. Manjon finished with a career-high 24 points to lead all scorers. Fullerton, however, didn’t wilt under the pressure. “We stuck to our game plan and didn’t panic,” explained Fullerton head coach Dedrique Taylor, who played for the Aggies from 1995-97 under Bob Williams. “We had really good ball movement tonight, and when we do that, we’re hard to beat. “This is a tough place to play and it’s a good win for us.” After managing to tie the game, the Aggies again went cold as Wayne Arnold sank a pair of 3-pointers to lead the
Titans on a 17-5 run for a 69-57 lead with just 1:07 left. At that point, the Aggies forced several turnovers with full-court pressure to cut the deficit to five in the waning seconds, but Brandon Kamga sank six straight free throws down the stretch to thwart UCD’s comeback hopes. “We didn’t show any life until we were down 12 with a minute to go and then we showed some energy, but it was too little, too late,” Les added. Although Taylor was pleased with the win, he says it was bittersweet to win on what was once his home floor. “I love this place,” said the
Fullerton coach. “What coach Les has built here is just great and I root like heck for them in every game, except for the two when they play us. It’s really, really nostalgic for me to come back here.” Taylor joked that after he graduated, the Aggies went on to win the Division II national championship the very next year. “They got rid of me and look what happened,” he said with a laugh. The Aggies return to Big West action Saturday night at Hawaii, then come home next week for games against UC Irvine on Jan. 30 and Cal Poly on Feb. 1.
BOYS: Devils survive scare, hold on for a win From Page B10 the back post to junior outside back Hayden Tam, who easily tapped the ball into the net. The hosts then survived a scare after providing opponents their fourth penalty kick in three games. But senior goalkeeper Roland Watts came up with a save that kept the Davis lead at 2-1. Then, just before half, Joe Vogel’s goal extended the DHS advantage to 3-1. The strike came off a free kick from Anderson.
“I think everyone has made huge contributions and today the starting 11 did well,” Park said. “The MVP goes to our goalkeeper Roland, who stopped that PK. It could have been a 2-2 game at that point, and you know how momentum can change a game.” While the Wolfpack would score in the 68th minute to make things interesting, Anderson completed his own masterpiece on the day by rifling a ball into the upper righthand corner of the net in the 71st
minute to end the scoring on the day and give DHS its first win of the calendar year. “We gave away two easy goals, they were just silly,” Park said. “In all of our games, we should have done better, but today we played better than we have in the past four games. You have to remember that we’re a very young team, sometimes they let their emotions get the better of them.” Davis High returns to the field today for a 12:15 contest against Elk Grove at Playfields Park.

very so often, one research task can go flying off on a tangent about a different subject. Or in looking for Item A, you learn there are so many interesting other happenings orbiting your original subject matter ... Items B, C, X and Z. Once such journey through the archives — researching the Davis High boys basketball championship season of 1995 — has brought with it not only memories of how that Ralph Villanueva-coached crew became a year-end tornado, but I rediscovered the incredible highlights of a DHS and UC Davis year that will live forever. A week from today, that SacJoaquin Section title-winning hoops squad will be honored at halftime of the DHS-Cosumnes Oaks Delta League showdown. Next Wednesday, these very pages will feature a look back at how those locals went from a .500 team to winning nine of their last 11 games to take the region’s crown. But for now, while my head still spins thinking about all that went on in 1995, I thought we could take a quick look back at the Year of the Devil (and Aggie) ... ■ DHS football players Jason Fisk and Tony Cline were drafted into the NFL, tight end Cline by the Buffalo Bills in the fourth round and Fisk by Minnesota in the seventh go-round. Both were key ingredients on Dave Whitmire’s 1988 Davis High sectionwinning football team, then attended Stanford together. Cline and Fisk continued to excel once in the pros. The pair were the first, and only, Devils drafted by the NFL. Oldschoolers will remember that Davis High grad Fran McDermott played in Canada before gravitating to the Dallas Cowboys. McDermott was never drafted. ■ From the Irony File comes this historic ditty from the same year ... In ’95, Dan Ariola replaced Tony Guevin as the DHS varsity baseball coach. All these years later, it was announced in December that the retired Ariola would be followed by former Devil standout Ethan Guevin — none other than the late Tony’s son. You can’t write better scripts. Oh, wait, “All in the Family” has already been done. ■ Arona Palamo, a hard-charging DHS tailback, set a school record with 27 touchdowns. In a 10-2 season (hmmm, that sounds familiar), Palamo joined Nick Shein in becoming the first Davis duo to gain 1,000 yards in a single season.
A
gain, the irony. Blue Devil running backs Taylor Vaughn (1,118) and Aaron Turner (918) almost repeated history last season. ■ Continuing the some-thingsnever-change theme, in 1995, Jorja Hoehn won her 300th game coaching the UC Davis women’s basketball team to a 25-4 mark and a berth in the Division II Western Regionals final. The current Aggies have won three straight Big West titles, visiting The Big Dance last spring and now jockeying for position to four-peat. Does the irony ever stop? The AllAmerican point guard on Hoehn’s teams? Yep, current UCD boss woman Jennifer Gross. ■ Two days before the campus named The Pavilion basketball floor “Bob Hamilton Court,” the beloved, longtime UC Davis (and later Yuba College) men’s coach died of cancer. He was 73. His widow Marietta has kept the home fires burning for her colorful husband. Marietta remains a regular at almost every men’s and women’s game, and I’m thinking it’s time for UC Davis to add her name to her husband’s hard-court honor. ■ In 37 seasons at the helm, baseball coach Phil Swimley had some

Enterprise staff SANTA BARBARA — With Katie Toole scoring a game-high 18 points and freshman Evanne Turner recording her second consecutive 11-point outing, the UC Davis women’s basketball team used a smothering defense to vanquish UC Santa Barbara, 56-46, in the Thunderdome on Thursday night.
The Aggies (8-9) went to 3-1 in Big West Conference play, trailing only CSUN (4-1, 9-10), a 56-51 winner over struggling UC Irvine. For UCD, it was its third consecutive win and fourth in a row at Santa Barbara. In a game that was close much of the first half, Davis nonetheless led for good when another freshman Campbell Gray canned a jumper at 4:33 of the first period. The Gauchos (2-3, 7-11) kept things close, trailing only by 5 at intermission, but couldn’t withstand a UCD 11-0 third-quarter run that quickly put things at 37-23.
UCSB, sporting the brilliant tandem of Danae and Coco Miller, crawled back to within 42-36 with 8 minutes remaining. Too little, too late as Toole’s offense and some solid inside play by Sage Stobbart plugged the leak and Davis regained control the rest of the way. Toole, who leads the Aggies with a 15.2 ppg scoring average, hit 8 of 14 from the field. Stobbart, the 6-3 redshirt sophomore from British Columbia, pulled down 10 rebounds for the second consecutive contest. In fact, ever since UCD failed

DHS ‘Byrnes’ the Oaks, 2-0
Cosumnes loses to boys
BY EVAN REAM

In one of the most competitive seasons in Delta League girls soccer in half a decade, the same school remains on top midway through the season: Davis High. Thanks to a 2-0 victory at Cosumnes Oaks on Wednesday in Elk Grove, the Blue Devils sit atop the league standings with 16 points, three better than second-place Franklin, while Pleasant Grove has 12 and rival St. Francis sits at 11 points. “Nobody is blowing each other out like the Grant games five years ago,” said head coach Sara Stone, referring to the multitude of double-digit victories DHS posted over the likes of Grant and Monterey Trail in years past. This winter every game has been closer, but 6-0-3 Davis (5-0-1 Delta League) still has vaulted to the top thanks to a variety of performances by nearly every player on the roster. On Wednesday, it was senior captain Lily Byrne who provided the difference, scoring both goals in the first half to down the fifth-place Wolfpack. “We had an awesome first half, played really well with a lot of energy. We were more creative in situations that we hadn’t really seen before,” Stone said. “We moved a couple of players around just to see different lineups and match ups and try to figure out what our best match ups were.”
After a four-game winless streak, the Davis High boys soccer team finally picked up three points. The 4-2 victory over Cosumnes Oaks on Wednesday at Playfields Park vaulted the Blue Devils into third place in Delta League standings and counted as their highest scoring output of the season as DHS improved to 7-3-2 on the year and 2-2-2 in conference. “I think that what this game taught me was that the boys can do it,” local head coach Alex Park explained. “Today, we showed a lot more confidence, a lot more determination, a lot more chemistry.” A week after dropping a tough 3-0 loss to Jesuit, Davis wasted no time getting on the scoreboard as freshman Simon Vaca-Lorenzi scored in the first three minutes of the game by finishing a rebound created off of a cross from junior Conner Clark. But, as has been a theme for this season, the Devils then proceeded to make things difficult for themselves, just five minutes later allowing a goal off a miscommunication. Still, Davis showed no signs of letting up and was rewarded in the 20th minute when a series of one- and two-touch passes found sophomore Zach Anderson in the right side of the box. Anderson calmly crossed to

Davis High forward Lily Byrnes (8) celebrates with teammate Olivia Johnson (7) after a score in a December soccer win over Elk Grove. Defensively, DHS was again sound — Davis has allowed just three goals in league play all season, two better than Franklin and St. Francis despite starting a sophomore in goal in Harper Burnham. “I don’t think Harper had to make a single save because our defense was so good,” Stone
said. “I thought the quality of soccer was good, the movement was good, our second half wasn’t so great, but that happens.” The Devils return to the pitch today against 0-5 Elk Grove, whom the locals defeated 1-0 to begin league play in December.

Pavilion is no advantage Late Fullerton burst does in UC Davis men BY BOB DUNNING Enterprise staff writer So much for momentum and home-court advantage. Coming off two impressive wins in Southern California last weekend, the UC Davis men’s basketball team came home to the friendly confines of The Pavilion full of optimism and confidence. However, two disastrous cold spells in a tight game led to a disappointing 78-74 loss to the Cal State Fullerton Titans before a crowd of 1,078 in Big West action Wednesday night. The loss dropped the Aggies to 2-2 in league play and 8-12 overall. Fullerton advanced to 2-3 and 7-13. With the loss the Aggies blew a golden opportunity to move into a first-place tie after league-leading UC Irvine dropped to 3-1 with a 63-56 loss to Long Beach State.

Both Aggie wins in Big West play have come on the road and both losses have come at home. “That’s twice on our home floor that we allowed our opponent to come in here and be more aggressive and that’s not acceptable,” said a clearly upset UC Davis head coach Jim Les.
“I looked in our locker room and I didn’t see a group of guys emotionally or physically spent. That’s disappointing. “Fullerton took it to us right from the start, and I didn’t like the response from our seniors and our team as a whole. I told them this week that if they
think they can just come in here and win automatically, they’re going to be sorely surprised.” With Stefan Gonzalez hitting from long range, the Aggies forged a quick 11-7 lead, but that advantage was short-lived
