Students raise pressure on UC

Making a splash

Napolitano warns student workers to end strike or risk being fired BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer On Wednesday, students from the UC Davis unit of UAW 2865, the union that represents student employees at the University of California, submitted a letter to Chancellor Gary S. May. Burdened by high living costs and insufficient salaries, the student workers are demanding higher wages and more affordable on-campus housing. Last week, the UAW 2865 Executive Board asked the UC Office of the President to reopen bargaining on a contract between the union and the university that was ratified in 2018 and runs through 2022. The union is asking for a cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, that would amount to roughly a 60-percent salary increase. UC teaching assistants, who are only allowed to work slightly more than half-time, earn about $2,400 per month, and often have no income for three months during the summer. Most in-state tuition is waived for graduate students employed by the university, but students living in some of the most expensive housing markets in the country say they are struggling to make ends meet. In a letter to UC Labor Relations director Peter Chester, the union leaders said “skyrocketing rents” coupled with California’s failure to pass rent-control legislation had pushed students to a breaking point. “We believe the circumstances have changed to such a degree as to necessitate immediate bargaining over this important issue,” UAW 2865 president Kavitha Iyengar wrote. The demands were made as hundreds of graduate student employees at UC Santa Cruz began an indefinite strike on Monday, canceling classes for thousands of undergraduate students. Student employees at UC Santa Cruz have demanded a COLA worth $1,412 per month. The general strike began after failed attempts to negotiate with campus

Relief on its way downtown

Longtime activist shares memories of Stonewall

Enterprise staff writer New public bathrooms should finally be available in downtown Davis later this spring. In an update to the City Council last week, city engineer Dianna Jensen said the two pre-fabricated public bathrooms the city has ordered will arrive in April and be installed shortly thereafter. The bathrooms — Portland Loos — will be installed in two locations: the G Street Plaza and at the west end of the E Street parking lot. Prior to the arrival of the loos, the city will complete prep work, including water and sewer lines, Jensen said. Funding for the prefabricated restrooms was approved by the City Council in 2017 but disagreement among downtown property and business owners over where they should be

placed stalled the process. With few businesses wanting the restrooms near their properties, council members expressed frustration in January 2018 about the lack of progress and asked city staff to return with recommendations so they could make the decision themselves. Two months later, city staff recommended the G Street Plaza due to its heavy pedestrian traffic and “distinct problem with public urination” as well as the ample space and access to utilities. The ideal second location, staff said at the time, was the E Street Plaza or its parking lot. Having those bathrooms downtown, proponents have said, will eliminate the need for downtown visitors to trek to Central Park or the Davis Depot to use public bathrooms while also serving those experiencing

homelessness downtown. The cost of the two bathrooms was estimated to be about $500,000, including purchase and installation. The bathrooms chosen — the Portland Loos — were favored by most downtown business owners in a survey conducted by the Chamber of Commerce. Meanwhile, city staff reported the restrooms are durable, arrive in one piece, are easy to install and have a line of sight ideal for security. City council members hailed the imminent arrival of the loos. City Councilman Will Arnold said he and his family used a Portland Loo in Emeryville during a recent road trip and “it was fantastic,” he said. “I’m a fan.” — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@ davisenterprise.net.

Enterprise staff writer Social activist John O’Brien — who as a young man participated in the Stonewall Uprising after the New York Police Department raided that gay bar in the Greenwich Village neighborhood — will visit Davis High School on Tuesday, Feb. 18, meeting students at various campus events during the day, and then giving a free talk (which the public is invited to attend) at 7 p.m. in Davis High’s Brunelle Theater. The NYPD raided the Stonewall Inn during the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, setting off an angry response in the form of spontaneous demonstrations over a period of days, with as many as 1,000 people gathering around the dingy bar to vent angry feelings about the way the NYPD had conducted the raid.

At one point, O’Brien and three other men loosened a parking meter on a metal pole from the sidewalk, and used it as a battering ram on the bar’s entrance, in order to confront the NYPD officers who had taken shelter inside. “When I grew up (in the 1950s), you were (regarded as) immoral, illegal and mentally sick if you were gay ... (and) if anything was heard about gays, it was basically bad. Nothing positive,” O’Brien told The Enterprise. “It took a movement to eventually overcome that, and it is having an effect now worldwide,” O’Brien said. “That’s my main message (to the high school students) ... People can make change by working together.

Briefly CHP looking into fatal crash At least one person died Friday in a multivehicle collision on Interstate 5 in Woodland. According to the California Highway Patrol traffic information website, the crash occurred at about 4:30 p.m. on southbound I-5 at the County Road 102 exit, where as many as five vehicles were involved. The Yolo County coroner’s office was summoned to the scene at about 5 p.m. Witnesses reported that one of the vehicles may have been speeding and caused the collision, which left several other people hospitalized, the CHP website says. Officers cleared the scene at about 6:50 p.m., though traffic remained backed up in the area for another 45 minutes.

Cops: Gun at shelter was fake Davis police say a man brandished what turned out to be a fake handgun Thursday morning at a local homeless shelter. Officers were dispatched to the H Street shelter shortly before 11 a.m. to investigate reports of an altercation between two people there, during which a man allegedly made death threats and pulled what appeared to be a handgun from his waistband, Deputy Police Chief Paul Doroshov said. “The victim and another witness disarmed the suspect, and he fled the scene,” Doroshov said. “Officers were able to take possession of the handgun and determined it to be a nonfunctioning replica.”

Some taxes hurt more than others S ome of us are old enough to remember when California Gov. Ronald Reagan said “taxes should hurt.” While that may have sounded like a heartless thing to say, Reagan, a gifted gabber, explained himself by saying that taxes should hurt so taxpayers are painfully aware of how much their government costs them. Fair enough. As I consider how I will vote on Davis Measures Q and G on the March 3 ballot, I am remembering Reagan’s infamous words and found them again in a UPI story dated May 5, 1971, that ran in the Desert Sun newspaper. “Governor Ronald Reagan, a fiscal conservative who believes ‘taxes should hurt,’ has disclosed he paid no state income tax for 1970 because of investment losses,” the story begins. “A state tax official says Reagan ‘probably’ did not pay any federal income tax either, but the governor’s office declined to comment on that.” Careful statistical analysis over time has revealed that 99 times out of 100, when someone “declines to comment,” he is guilty as charged. “The question of Reagan’s tax

he paid any state income tax last month when an estimated 4.5 million other Californians sent more than $1 billion to Sacramento.” Whether this newsman had been tipped off by an unofficial whistlelblower or simply got lucky is unclear, but Reagan was clearly caught off guard.

obligation arose unexpectedly Tuesday at his weekly news conference,” the story goes on. “The Republican governor announced the state will run so short of cash this fall it will be forced to rely on outside borrowing for the first time since the 1930s depression to pay its bills. He blamed the Democraticcontrolled legislature.” Yes, deep-blue California has had an interesting habit of electing a number of Republican governors over the years and once — quite recently — even recalled a Democratic governor and replaced him with a Republican. After Reagan was through blaming the loyal opposition, leave it to a nosy reporter to ask exactly how badly the governor hurt after paying his taxes. As UPI reported, “A newsman suddenly asked Reagan whether

nstead of issuing a Trumpian “My taxes are under audit and I’m not allowed to release them,” or lying through his teeth and saying “of course I paid my taxes,” Reagan, speaking “slowly in a soft voice,” said “You know something, I don’t actually know whether I did or not. I’d have to check it.” The cat was clearly out of the bag and there was no way this story was going away. “Less than five minutes after the news conference, the governor’s press office sent around a onesentence memo reading: ‘Because of business reverses of Governor Reagan’s investments, he owed no state income tax for 1970.’ The governor’s office refused to say whether Reagan also paid no federal income tax.” Added UPI, “An official with the State Franchise Tax Board said ‘it would be likely’ that Reagan did

not pay a federal income tax if he could claim enough losses to avoid a state tax.” Paul Beck, Reagan’s press secretary, “declined to say what the governor’s investment losses were, or whether he also did not pay state income taxes his other three years in office. ‘I’m not going to get into all that stuff,’ Beck said.” I seem to remember something about cattle ranches in Montana, but all I know is that those of us with part-time jobs who were working our way through college wondered how it was that we paid more tax than the governor did. A governor, by the way, whose lifestyle seemed to be a bit more lavish than ours. As to whether Davis Measures Q and G will “hurt” as Governor Reagan would have hoped, it’s doubtful. Measure Q simply keeps alive a 1-percent sales tax that we’re already paying, while Measure G will cost each homeowner a mere $3.81 a week to pay our teachers a decent wage for their stellar efforts. You can decide for yourself how much those amounts hurt and vote accordingly. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

Two women report sexual assaults

Special to The Enterprise

Two women reported being the victims of sexual assaults that occurred several hours apart late Thursday and early Friday, according to the Davis Police Department. The first occurred at about 10:20 p.m. Thursday at the Cranbrook Apartments, 955 Cranbrook Ct., where a woman said she was walking to a friend’s apartment when she heard a bicyclist ride up behind her, Deputy Police Chief Paul Doroshov said. “The victim stepped to the side to let the bicyclist past. As the male rider went by, he grabbed the victim’s buttocks and made a lewd comment. The suspect then rode away,” Doroshov said. The woman described the suspect as a Hispanic male adult, 20 to 30 years old, of average build, wearing a red hooded jacket, white hat and dark pants. He was last seen riding a red bike toward Covell Boulevard. Three hours later, at 1:20 a.m. Friday, a woman in the

200 block of Rice Lane reported she was entering her residence through a side gate when she noticed a man standing behind her. “The suspect engaged her in conversation and told her he was looking for a friend’s house,” Doroshov said. “At some point during the conversation, the suspect lunged at the victim and grabbed one of her breasts,” making a lewd comment before fleeing the area. That suspect was described as a Hispanic male, 25 to 30 years old, about 5-foot-4 and 180 pounds, wearing a lightcolored T-shirt and dark pants. He was seen getting into a vehicle that headed toward First Street. Doroshov noted that the incidents bore similarities to a Feb. 2 case, previously reported in The Davis Enterprise, in which a woman was sexually battered from behind while bent over to look for a lost item inside her car in the parking lot of the Tanglewood at Davis

Apartments, 1880 Cowell Blvd. A witness to that incident, which occurred at about 8 p.m., described the suspect as a white or Hispanic male adult, 5-foot-6 in height with an average build, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans. The suspect may have had an accent and rode away on a blue colored cruiser-style bicycle. “While we cannot be sure, we believe the cases maybe related based on some similarities in the suspect description and the content of the lewd comments the suspect made when committing the acts,” Doroshov said. “All the above cases are under investigation.” Anyone with information any of these incidents is asked to contact the Davis Police Department at 530-747-5400. — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenter prise.net or 530-747-5400.

STANDOFF: UCD students present demands From Page A1

Also on Friday, UC Santa Cruz Executive Vice Chancellor Lori Kletzer sent an email to teaching assistants, warning them they will be stripped of spring quarter employment offers if they fail to submit fall grades by Feb. 22.

administrators. Since December, Santa Cruz teaching assistants have refused to submit grades for undergraduate courses they taught last quarter, totally about 12,000 missing grades, according to a spokesperson for the striking students. “We have the capacity to bring this university to a grinding halt,” the UC Santa Cruz COLA campaign said in a statement Tuesday. Known as a “wildcat strike” because it is taking place while the student workers are under contract, the action violates a nostrikes clause in the collective bargaining agreement between the union and the university. While a majority of the union’s membership voted to ratify the 2018 contract, which included an annual 3-percent salary increase, more than 80 percent of union members at UC Santa Cruz voted against approving the contract. Last year, a USA Today analysis of data collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics rated Santa Cruz the least affordable city in the country for teachers. About 66 percent of a teacher’s income goes to paying rent, the study found. San Jose and San Francisco were the second and third least affordable cities. “We shouldn’t have to live this way,” UC Santa Cruz Ph.D. student and union chair Veronica Hamilton told The New York Times. Support for the strike grew over the past week as graduate-student employees and union members at UC Davis and other campuses held rallies in solidarity with the students at UC Santa Cruz. A group of

UC Davis graduate student workers with the union rallied at Mrak Hall Wednesday after submitting a list of demands to Chancellor Gary S. May. UC Davis graduate students traveled to Santa Cruz to picket with the striking workers, and faculty and undergraduate students from UC Santa Cruz also joined the picket line. As of Saturday, nearly a thousand people had donated to a fundraiser for the student workers, raising over $50,000. The GoFundMe page says the money is to be used for food, supplies, legal fees and docked pay. Some students with the UCD COLA campaign said they personally favor going on strike, while representatives of the campaign said it is still determining its next steps. The group will hold a general assembly meeting on Tuesday. Union leaders at UC Davis said they will continue to demand that university administrators reopen bargaining with the union to address students’ housing needs. “We’ve realized that the only way we’re going to climb out of rent burden as

graduate students is to put together a statewide campaign,” said Thomas Hintze, a UC Davis Ph.D. student and the Northern Vice President of UAW 2865. “I’m very concerned that graduate students who are already rent-burdened are going to have to leave grad school. The university needs to find a way to come to the table and bargain with us over these issues.”

University clamps down on strike The university responded to the strike with force, bringing law enforcement officers from across the Bay Area to police the picket line at UC Santa Cruz, where hundreds of students and faculty gathered over the past week. On Monday, campus police struck multiple students with batons and hospitalized another student, who was diagnosed with a concussion at the campus health center, according to

a spokesperson for the UC Santa Cruz COLA campaign. On Wednesday, campus police, aided by other law enforcement departments, arrested 17 students, including one from UC Davis, who were blocking an intersection and ignored orders to disperse. The students were charged with unlawful assembly, obstructing a public roadway and disobeying a lawful order, UC Santa Cruz spokesperson Scott Hernandez-Jason said in a statement. They were released later the same day and suspended from campus property for two weeks. On Friday, UC President Janet Napolitano sent an email telling hundreds of graduate student employees they risk being fired if they fail to return to work. “Participation in the wildcat strike will have consequences, up to and including termination of existing employment at the University,” Napolitano said in the email.

Napolitano said the university will not reopen its contract with the union. “To accede to the demands of a group of employees engaged in an unauthorized wildcat strike would undercut the very foundation of an agreement negotiated in good faith by the UAW and ratified by thousands of members across the system,” she said in the email. More than 1,000 faculty from across the country have signed a pledge of solidarity with the student workers and of noncooperation with UC Santa Cruz, promising not to plan or attend events at the campus until the UC system “provides a more equitable standard of living.” The faculty pledged to extend the boycott to UC Davis and other campuses should student employees at those campuses decide to join the strike. As students and administrators dig their feet in, the threat of a major breakdown looms over the university, which is California’s largest employer and one of the highest-rated public university systems in the country. “It should not come to this,” Napolitano said “The wildcat strike must come to an end.” — Reach Caleb Hampton at champton@ davisenterprise.net.

The bait-and-switch of toll lanes expands D iamond lanes for the rich. Lexus lanes. A classic bait-and-switch. Social engineering on a massive scale. Taking the free out of freeways. Republican officials working for then-President George W. Bush in 2008 didn’t apply any of those epithets to their plan to charge tolls and allow solo drivers into carpool lanes on freeways in some of the most crowded parts of California. Rather, they dangled hundreds of millions of dollars in incentives before state and local officials to get them to adopt this benighted idea — and the locals bit, big time. It started with a grant of more than $200 million about 10 years ago from Bush’s Department of Transportation, which turned existing carpool lanes into toll lanes on the Interstate 10 freeway in eastern Los Angeles County. The idea has spread, even though it does not really work. As a result, many thousands of California drivers put transponders in their cars and get charged

from 25 cents per mile on up for driving in lanes once occupied by carpoolers only — the result being that carpool lanes in many places are now as crowded as all the others. Now an enormous expansion of toll lanes is in its early stages. This idea has three goals: Allow toll lane drivers to move at faster speeds than they do now. Make other lanes so congested that drivers switch to different modes of transport, where available. And convert as many existing carpool lanes to toll ones as possible in order to produce more and more revenue to finance ever more toll lanes. The biggest new push is about to come in the 405 Freeway

corridor between West Los Angeles and the vast San Fernando Valley portion of Los Angeles, a distance of about 10 miles of almost constant congestion despite California’s recent slow growth, which state officials say cost Los Angeles County about 96,000 residents over the last year. More than $5 billion in local sales tax revenue is already available for this project, which would try to find space for two new toll lanes in the existing right-of-way, along with building a new, parallel north-south lightrail line, either on a monorail or in a multi-billion-dollar tunnel. With the Trump Administration not exactly in a giving mood toward California, the extra $4 billion to $9 billion this project would need likely must come from borrowing against future road tolls. So drivers would essentially pay tolls to finance a plan aiming to get them out of their cars. All this because city planners — ignoring what happened when Los Angeles hosted the Olympic

Games in 1984 — expect vast amounts of traffic during the upcoming 2028 Los Angeles Games. Never mind that traffic was at historic lows during the ’84 event, partly because thousands of Angelenos went elsewhere during those Games to avoid massive traffic that never materialized.

oll lanes are in the offing in many other places, too. Orange County planners contemplate new ones on four freeways there, with plans for new lanes rather than converting existing carpool ones. Toll lanes are also expected on several San Francisco Bay area freeways, including the 101 and 880 freeways, where carpool lanes would most likely be converted. It’s all part of a steady “We know best” approach by city, state and county planners, who have never taken a public vote on toll lanes, first sold to voters as being reserved for carpools only, with tolls not mentioned. That makes all this a classic

Her work as a consumer protection attorney gives her insights to the real world challenges faced by vulnerable populations. Linda represented a young developmentally disabled woman whose neck had been broken in a fall from her bed in a care facility. Due to her disabilities, the client could not describe the circumstances of her injury. Linda proved the negligence and, after seven years of appeals, was able to arrive at a settlement that guaranteed quality care for the rest of the young woman’s life. Linda is committed to our shared community and is present for us all. I have watched Linda volunteer countless hours to make phone calls and write post cards to right the ship of our nation. As a member of the Yolo County Health Council, Linda raised the issue that there is no 24-hour pharmacy available in Yolo County; she is committed to changing that. Linda has been tireless in her work for the special place we live as a member of the Yolo Basin Foundation Board of Directors. Linda is a leader for our future. Over the years, I have worked directly with and come to know hundreds of local elected officials. I have come to value courage in the face of adversity, honesty and transparency, willingness to work with colleagues and community members even when they disagree, commitment to shared leadership and purpose, humility, compassion for the most vulnerable populations, commitment to stewardship of the planet and place, and a mindset that it is more important to solve a problem than to take credit for it. I have come to value colleagues who show up, who move the chairs and make the calls, and who constantly nurture connection with the fabric of the community they serve.

bait and switch. No one knows whether the trend will lead to a public revolt on the scale of what happened in the mid-1970s, when then-Gov. Jerry Brown’s administration converted regular traffic lanes on the I-10 Santa Monica Freeway in West Los Angeles to carpools only. The outcry forced the state’s transportation director to resign and the lanes reverted. There are still no carpool lanes on that stretch of freeway. Every time the public speaks on this issue, it opposes new toll lanes or anything else aimed at driving them out of their cars. But so far, there have been no rebellions at the ballot box. Does Gov.

Please vote for Measure G The lovely town of Davis is not what it was 40 or even 20 years ago. Teacher salaries have stagnated. Home prices, the cost of living and employee contributions to health care costs have sharply increased. It is currently unaffordable for a person of modest means to be both a teacher and a homeowner in Davis. You can live and teach in Davis, but you will have to rent indefinitely. Or with luck you can afford a home in one of the surrounding towns, but you will have to commute to your Davis teaching job. What are the consequences when teachers cannot afford to live in the same community as the children they teach? Of course the other outcome, and our biggest risk, is that highly effective teachers with great potential will leave the district for higher salaries, significantly lower healthcare premiums, and the chance to own a home in the town in which they work. In my 15 years as a DJUSD teacher, Measure G is the first and only time that the community of Davis has addressed this ever-worsening problem.

Measure G is too late for my family. Due to the circumstances I have described, I could not afford to simultaneously teach and own a home in Davis. Let’s signal to new teachers that we value them, and that we want them to live in our community. After all, we need these new teachers quite badly. Please look on page 2 of your ballot and vote YES on Measure G. Our students and families need new teachers to choose Davis. Robert B. Thayer Davis High School

Abramson for supervisor Greetings, I would like to write to you in support of David Abramson for Yolo county Supervisor, district 4. The state of our water supply here in Yolo County is simply atrocious. I remember moving here from Massachusetts in the early 90s, and having to get used to Davis tap water. The more I found out about it, the more I realized I never should have been drinking it at all. I can get used to hard water, what I can’t get used to is runoff from fertilizers and pesticides. We are on Sac river water now, but the problem still persists. As we move into the future so must agriculture, including big agriculture. The adoption and transition to sustainable and ecologically sound farming practices doesn’t lie in the future, it must happen today in order for there to be a tomorrow. It’s crucial for farmers and community leaders to be able to come to the table and be able to voice their views and come to consensus. They require leaders who are well informed about specifics of the issues at hand and who feel passionate about coming to sensible resolution. David cares about these issues. We

COMMENTARY How’s the March 3 move working? Support local T measures that invest in teaching BY DELAINE EASTIN Special to The Enterprise

ecently, the Davis school board took a stand that teacher recruitment and retention was its top priority. For the upcoming election, the board unanimously voted to place Measure G on the March ballot; this measure increases teacher and school employee’s pay. Teachers in Davis schools are at the driving force in student achievement and keeping teacher and support staff salaries competitive attracts the best educators. Measure G ensures continuous high quality public education into the future. I wholeheartedly encourage my Davis neighbors to vote yes on Measure G. I choose to live in Davis because it is a community that consistently invests in public education; it is a community that cares about its children. Our community investment in education has not only paid off for the students themselves. Davis homeowners enjoy among the most consistent property values in a 10 county region — this is not a coincidence. Government budgets are statements of values. Early this month, Gov. Newsom took an excellent first step towards improving public education when he unveiled his budget plan and include $900 million toward teacher recruitment and retention. Let’s encourage legislators to make public education a top priority and provide additional and reasonable tools for local school boards who are trying to improve teacher recruitment and retention and public education generally. We need to move to the top 10 of the 50 states in per pupil spending, as we were when I was a child in California. I often say that if you have a choice between sending your child to a school in a beautiful building with a lousy teacher, or having your child taught by Socrates sitting on a rock, you should choose Socrates on the rock. Most people agree. So why do our state laws fail to match this obvious sentiment and make it easier to build a school than to staff that school? Under California law, local school boards are basically allowed two mechanisms to provide additional resources to improve public education, a school facilities bond and a parcel tax. Both tools are limiting and require a vote of the people, but that only happened as a result of Proposition 13. Prior to Prop 13, a simple majority vote was required for buildings and for staffing those buildings and the state was near the top in per pupil spending.

ow, California falls embarrassingly short on per-student funding compared to the national average, even though we are the most expensive state in the union with the highest number and percentage of poor children and English learners. Prior to Prop 13, local school boards relied less on the state and could do more locally. Our students in California are largely at the whim of a governor and state legislature who are faced with many demands on state resources causing it to be pulled in many directions. When it comes to funding education locally, the constitution was amended to prioritize buildings over people by asking voters to establish a 55% voter threshold to raise revenue for school facilities, while leaving it a 66.67% voter approval to improve student instruction, teacher recruitment and retention and other direct student support services. This is limiting and inconsistent with our collective ideals. Let’s work to lower this threshold In the long run, the state needs to increase its support for education. In the short term, voters support local measures that invest in public education, even with the higher threshold for passage. If you care about the future of our community you should be inclined to always support local measures investing in public education. Support Measure G in Davis. — Delaine Eastin is the former California superintendent of public instruction and current Davis resident.

he more-or-less official rationale offered by the state’s Democratic politicians for moving our presidential primary election to March 3 was that the nation’s most populous and diverse state should play a major role in choosing a challenger to President Donald Trump and compel candidates to pay attention to our issues. They implied that making the state relevant in presidential politics was worth forcing earlier-than-usual decisions on down-ballot issues, including contests for 153 legislative and congressional seats, countless local government offices and hundreds of state and local ballot measures.

An unofficial reason for moving California’s presidential primary from June to March was that presidential hopefuls would feel obligated to cultivate California’s political figures, making them more relevant or at least feeding their egos. Moreover, it was believed, if California Sen. Kamala Harris could shine in the early rounds of caucuses and primaries, her home state could give her presidential ambitions a very big boost.

So how’s all of that working out? Not particularly well. Harris was briefly the Democratic flavor of the week but wound up as an early dropout. Other candidates have swooped into the state periodically, mostly to raise money. But in their rare public appearances, they rarely make special efforts to respond to California issues. Michael Bloomberg, the uber-wealthy former mayor of New York, is a late bloomer and has ignored other states while spending heavily in hopes of making a big splash in California. He’s garnered many endorsements but the latest tracking poll by data guru Paul Mitchell for Capitol Weekly has him with only an outside chance of winning any delegates. Fellow billionaire Tom Steyer, a Californian, is barely registering at all. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sand-

ers and former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg topped the first two contests in Iowa and New Hampshire and Mitchell’s polling in early February confirmed that they are leading the pack in California. Former Vice President Joe Biden, an early leader in California, and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren are fading here as they have nationally.

n other words, California is not standing out as an arena for changing the patterns developing elsewhere. Our March 3 primary will be only one of 16 on that day, which has been dubbed Super Tuesday, and our drawn-out voting system virtually blocks the state from having a big impact. We really don’t have an election day but rather an election month ending on March 3. Most voting is by mail and it’s already underway. And as mail voting was beginning, the state Legislature changed the rules to allow more “no party preference” voters to cast ballots for one of the Democratic candidates. We won’t know definitely who won what until early April because of the state’s

laborious system of deciding which ballots are legitimately to be counted and because the Democratic Party awards delegates both by congressional district and statewide, with minimum vote thresholds of 15% for candidates to win anything anywhere. Chances are very high that by the time California actually reports its results in April and divvies up its delegates, outcomes in other Super Tuesday states, as well as the Nevada caucuses and South Carolina primary later this month will have pretty much settled who has a commanding lead. The net impact of moving California’s primary from June to March may not be how it affects presidential politics but how an eightmonth gap between primary and general elections affects choices for legislative, congressional and local government offices. — CalMatters is a public interest journalism venture committed to explaining how California’s state Capitol works and why it matters.

Support Provenza I am in full support of Jim Provenza for Yolo County Supervisor District 4. During my tenure as Yolo County superintendent, I had many opportunities to work with Provenza, his support to quality preschool and equal access toward higher education for all is outstanding. Jim's commitment to social justice and making sure that the underdog or those with the least political influence were represented is well documented. I have known Provenza to be a good listener who studies the issues and concerns before him when making difficult decisions as a supervisor. He is a team player while continuing his independence. District 4 deserves representation by an experienced and qualified individual like Supervisor Provenza. Vote Jim Provenza. Jesse Ortiz Yolo County schools superintendent (ret.)

Deos will bring new vision Our Yolo County Board of Supervisors is in need of new vision, creative collaboration, diversity and fresh ideas to deal with the myriad of challenges this county faces. Therefore, I will vote for Linda Deos for Yolo County Board of Supervisors. We have a growing climate emergency that has not been addressed adequately by our supervisors. Linda Deos has presented a number of creative policy proposals and ideas to tackle this crisis. Regarding the problems of mass incarceration, cash bail, and the exploding homeless population in our county, Deos has offered solutions which could be implemented if she were to be elected to the Board. I have worked with Linda in a number of settings, and find her willingness to listen, her desire and skill in working collaboratively, and her advocacy for the disenfranchised to be exemplary and inspiring.

It is time that we update the male-dominated Board and add a fresh female voice to our county government. Linda is a proven leader. Please join me in voting for Linda Deos for Yolo County Board of Supervisor. Karen Friis Davis

Letter: Measure G Voting yes on Measure G will help our city retain and attract excellent teachers. DJUSD's bilingual programs challenge students to grow in two languages, help bridge cultural divides, and guide students toward academic excellence. Parent and student interest remains high in this special program, yet every year principals struggle to find highly qualified teachers to fill positions. Our bilingual programs experienced mid-year openings twice during this 2019-20 school year. While this problem is not unique to Davis, other districts offer aggressive financial incentives to lure bilingual candidates. Natomas offers $5,000 signing bonuses to bilingual teachers in addition to a better salary. Measure G will be an important step in leveling the playing field.

night, maybe even in the daytime if aimed away from the sun. Think about the potential for renewable energy that offers for all those homes with heavy shade or rooftops not angled toward the sun’s direct rays. Yes, it will take time to develop. Yes, it may never become practical. And by itself it certainly won’t resolve the energy crisis. But it is an example of the ingenuity we Americans excel at when we face a challenge. So many people have creative ways to deal with climate change. All they need is the opportunity to develop them. What we lack is a national policy that will give financial incentive to support this kind of work in both our universities and private businesses. Putting a price on the carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuel would provide such an incentive. As coal, oil, and natural gas prices increase, so do profits for those companies and manufacturers who remain most competitive by moving to alternative energy sources. Returning all the revenue to households will cover higher prices passed on to us. And many of us who get a monthly check will spend it elsewhere and look for ways to cut our own energy use. The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act proposes just such a policy. For information, go to CitizensClimateLobby.org and click on the EICDA tab. And urge Rep. John Garamendi to become one of the bill’s nearly 80 bipartisan co-sponsors. Elisabeth Robbins Co-leader, Yolo Chapter, Citizens’

How do I love thee? When you do it my way ■ Editor’s note: Tanya Perez is taking the day off. This column originally published in February 2015.

very couple goes through this: Things that were once adorable when the two first got together become beyond annoying in the later years. My sister-in-law thought it was hilarious — because it is! — when my brother would burp the alphabet after gulping some particularly fizzy soda. Now, she rolls her eyes in semi-disgust. In mine and my husband’s case, I’m sure there are plenty of examples of what used to be cute; but today’s tale involves food. In the early days, I used to think it was so charming the way he portioned out each bite. If he had an omelet, he would stack his fork with a proportionate amount of egg, mushroom, ham and onion. Never did a willynilly bite that did not equally represent each flavor enter his mouth. I’m not sure why exactly, but through the years, this has become a mild irritant. Higher up the irritation scale is the way my husband eats the best thing on his plate last. For

example, if we are at a restaurant for breakfast where’s he ordered scrambled eggs, sausage, toast, potatoes and fruit, he eats them in the order of least-to-most favorite. So he starts with the toast, next comes the fruit, followed by the potatoes ... until the last item is either the sausage or the eggs. So what ends up happening is he eats the best things at the worst temperature. I mean, eating your eggs last guarantees not-very-hot eggs. Blech. My strategy is to eat my favorite thing first while it’s at the ideal temperature. So obviously the sausage goes first, and the fruit goes last. Aside from wanting to eat hot things while they’re hot, I also want to get maximum enjoyment out of the best food while I’m the hungriest. Ah, but here’s the interesting

twist in my husband’s strategy. He loves to be uncomfortably, unzip-your-pants-when-youplop-on-the-couch full, so he saves the best for last to guarantee that he will eat every bite. Filling up first on toast, fruit and potatoes is part of the overall get-full plan. The good news is neither of these two food strategies has been passed down to our kids. They aren’t meticulous about each bite being perfectly proportioned, and they appear to eat their meals in whatever random order strikes their fancy. However, the most annoying trait of all seems to have manifested itself in our older son. At dinner a few nights ago — which consisted of a pretty yummy stir fry I’d made with chicken, mushrooms and green beans — I asked my older son how he liked it. In his defense, he’s has always been an adventurous eater and will try anything, so I’ve generally trusted his opinion. Until now. “Eh,” he said. “What don’t you like about it?” I gently inquired, imagining the sauce wasn’t wowing him. “Too squeaky.” Oh. My.

God! No! Knowing the answer was going to make me want to throttle my husband, I pushed on. “What?” “The beans and mushrooms are squeaking in my teeth too much.” Now I admit there actually was a squeak emitted from the stir fry. But that is no reason not to like something delicious! And this is absolutely my husband’s fault. For years I’ve been annoyed by my husband’s unwillingness to judge a food on what matters — its taste. Instead, he throws in all kinds of other values. “How do you like that burrito?” I’ve asked about the most delicious burrito that’s ever been concocted. “Nah. Too drippy,” he answered. “Aren’t these tapas the best?” I’d inquired. “Nope. Still hungry,” he replied. I refuse to accept that answer. He knows I’m asking about yumminess, yet he answers about the messiness or fullness factor. Granted, I should stop asking “How do you like that?”

when what I want to know is “Do you think this tastes good?” But he knows what I mean. Wait a minute ... I think I’ve just solved this 25-year-old issue! Instead of giving him the opportunity to say something asinine, I will stop asking the wrong question. Because I don’t care one bit if a yummy carnitas burrito is dripping down my arm ... I will just move it to a bowl and eat it with a fork. Yummy is yummy. The new me will only ask my three guys what I really want to know — “How do you like the taste of this food?” — and not give the opportunity for judgments on drippiness, fullness or squeakiness. Wow, do I feel better already. In fact, maybe I’ll make meatball subs for dinner. I was thinking that to be fair my next column should be devoted to annoying things I do that used to seem cute to my husband. But I’m sure he can’t think of even one thing. — Tanya Perez lives in Davis with her family. Her column is published every other Sunday. Reach her at pereztanyah@ gmail.com.

A nurse who took the road less traveled BY CRAIG DRESANG Special to The Enterprise

f Scott Goldsmith’s old Toyota Tacoma could talk, it would have more than a few tall tales to tell. His was an easy vehicle to pick out in a crowed parking lot. It was covered with peace signs, images of Buddha, neon colored surfing symbols, yin yang stickers and a rather large and prominently placed Grateful Dead emblem. During Goldsmith’s earlier days at Yolo Hospice, he was as easy to spot as his truck. Even at 72, he sported a beautiful greyblond ponytail, tattoos from head to hand and beyond, and an aura of gentleness and calm. He was unflappable, dependable, and steady. The breadth of his spiritual explorations was vast. He was forever inquisitive and loved to share readings or ideas from the world’s great philosophers and spiritual gurus. Goldsmith was an RN case manager at Yolo Hospice for 15 years. During his tenure, nearly 4,500 patients were the beneficiaries of his expert care and listening ear. He was one of the few nurses who relished the idea of caring for patients who lived in the most remote and rural parts of Yolo Hospice’s service area ... the go-to nurse for families who lived on the winding delta roads of Courtland or Clarksburg, or in the middle of olive and almond orchards in the Capay Valley, and off the narrow gravel roads of Rumsey. In between his visits to patient homes, Goldsmith’s silver pickup was a place of solace ... a sort of second home. Four years ago, he told me that his vehicle was nearing the 300,000 mile mark and he was toying with the idea of purchasing a newer model with fewer miles. A year later, when I realized he was still driving the same vehicle, I asked him if he had changed his mind about getting a new car. He replied, “Well, she can get a little grumpy sometimes, but she still runs great. I’m not ready to lose such a faithful old friend.” He would occasionally share stories about climbing into his Toyota and meditating, crying, or talking to the steering wheel as if it were a sympathetic therapist. Early in my career at Yolo Hospice, Goldsmith shared a story with me about Frank, one

YOLO HOSPICE & CWC of his patients who was a baseball fanatic. The distance from Davis to Frank’s home, tucked between almond groves just north of Guinda, was about 45 miles. It took Goldsmith about an hour to make the trip. Frank was well into his 90s and living mostly alone. If there was a baseball game being broadcast, Frank would usually have his television and radio turned on at the same time. During one of his visits to Frank’s house, Goldsmith had a gut feeling that his patient could likely die that evening. It was the day of the World Series, and gravely ill or not, Frank was determined to watch the game from a makeshift bed he created on his plaid polyester living room couch. Goldsmith got Frank situated and medicated, plumped up his pillows and comforter, and made sure Frank had everything he needed to settle in and watch the Kansas City Royals play the New York Mets. About 15 minutes after Goldsmith left Frank’s house, he pulled his pickup off Highway 16 and turned around. “I had this feeling that I should not leave Frank alone,” Goldsmith said. “I wanted to go back and watch the

game with him, and be there by his side in case it was his last night.” When Goldsmith drove his truck up the dusty dirt driveway and walked through Frank’s rickety screen door he said Frank looked relieved. Goldsmith told him, “I don’t have any place to go tonight so I thought I would keep you company and watch the game, too.” The two men sat sideby-side, mostly in silence, for the next few hours while they watched baseball. On a Sunday night, not long after the ninth inning, Goldsmith looked over at his baseball companion and took his century-old hand into his own palm while Frank took his last breath. Later, Goldsmith told me, “That is what I would want.” On a Saturday morning last month, when I received a call informing me of Goldsmith’s sudden and unexpected death, it took my breath away. We had lost one of our own. It is one matter for our staff to routinely look outward and support families who are grieving loss. It is an entirely different matter when that focus turns inward and we struggle in our own individual and collective grief. One of Goldsmith’s favorite spiritual authors was Neville Goddard. Frequently, he would talk to staff about his teachings

COURTESY PHOTOS

In the days following Scott Goldsmith’s death, staff from Yolo Hospice turned his work cubicle into a sort of remembrance alter, adorning it with the things he cherished and collected. His true love was the water, above right. He was an avid surfer well into his 60s, and when he turned 70, two years ago, he completed the Alcatraz Swim from San Francisco to Alcatraz Island. and how they informed his own thinking about life and death. There is a passage in Goddard’s book, “The Power of Awareness,” that Goldsmith especially liked. It says, “Live your life in a sublime spirit of

confidence and determination; disregard appearances, conditions, in fact all evidence of your senses that deny the fulfillment of what you want to be, for in that determined assumption, you and your Infinite

Being are merged in creative unity, and with Infinite Being (God) all things are possible. God never fails.” When I consider Goddard’s words more thoroughly, I realize that perhaps Goldsmith was indeed merged in creative unity with Infinite Being and with his patient Frank, and with the thousands of people he cared for. This reality is what made him a good nurse and such a bright light in a world that, in so many ways, needs tender care. The goodness that Goldsmith channeled into our world is immeasurable ... and the loss of his presence is unspeakable. Using Goldsmith’s own words, we were simply “not ready to lose such a faithful old friend.” — Craig Dresang is the CEO of Yolo Hospice & Citizens Who Care.

SACRAMENTO — Assemblywoman Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, D-Winters, on Feb. 5 introduced Assembly Bill 2074 to establish clear guidelines for when companies from the olive oil industry can use the term “California” in their product labeling and marketing. This measure will protect consumers and farmers by providing clear information about the source of the olives and olive oils in the products they buy. California has had a thriving olive oil industry since the mid-19th century. The state produces 4% of the world’s olive oil from over 75 varieties of olives. Due to California’s wellestablished reputation for producing high-quality olive oils, the demand for California olive oil is steadily increasing. Because of this spike in demand, there has been an increase in branding of olive oil with the term “California” or a California regional designation when the product on shelves is actually blended using oils sourced from other regions of the world, including Spain, North Africa, and Argentina. This has led to consumer confusion, and places California olive farmers and oil producers at a competitive disadvantage. “To us, it’s really quite simple,” said Peter and Debbie Hunter from Longview Ranch in Winters. “If a bottle is labeled as ‘California Oil’ it should be just that: 100% Californiaproduced olive oil. If a packer wants to blend nonCalifornia oils, then the bottle should not have the California moniker frontand-center. We adhere to strict regulations and labor practices in California, and consumers are beginning to recognize that. We must make sure that the trust in ‘California’ brands is not eroded.” AB 2074 strengthens existing law by making it

illegal to make any false representation that an olive oil is produced entirely from olives grown within California when it is not. Similarly, the bill prohibits any representations indicating that an olive oil was produced from olives grown in a specific region of California, unless at least 85% of the olive oil was produced from olives grown in that region. “California has the best agricultural products, and the highest environmental and labor standards, in the world. Consumers look for California-grown foods because they associate California with quality. Allowing companies to trick consumers into thinking they’re buying a California product because they slap ‘California’ on their package undercuts everything we’re trying to accomplish as a State,” said AguiarCurry. AB 2074 does not restrict blending oils from different sources and destinations, but it makes clear through establishing standards that when “California” is used, the product actually comes from California. This bill strengthens the integrity of the world-renowned California olive oil brand.

Special to The Enterprise The Wednesday, Feb. 19, meeting of the Progressive Business Exchange will feature two local speakers.

Briefly County seeks poll workers Workers are needed by the Yolo County Elections Office to run polling places during the March 3 presidential primary. Poll workers must be available to work on Election Day from 6 a.m. until all tasks are completed (around 9 p.m.), have transportation to and from the polling place and be willing to attend a mandatory training prior to Election Day. “We are in particular need of those who are multilingual,” said Jesse Salinas, the county’s assessor/clerk-recorder/ registrar of voters. “The most critical language needs are Spanish, Chinese (Cantonese/Mandarin), and Korean, but other language needs include Punjabi, Russian and Tagalog.” Poll workers are compensated with a stipend for the entire day, depending upon their role. Precinct inspectors are compensated $155 and judges are compensated $130, with an additional $20 for attending the training and $10 for bilingual pay. For more information on being a poll worker, visit: https:// www.yoloelections.org/ poll-workers/pollworkers.

Teacher Kevin Williams is a very effective and smart person, because he found me.

He got involved with the civil rights movement when he was in his early teens, and a bit later also got involved with the peace movement that was organized in response to America’s growing military involvement in the Vietnam War. “I was involved in many activities and arrests, and I met many people from different social classes and ethnicity,” he recalled. “I grew myself intellectually. I had seven years activism under my belt by the time of the Stonewall Rebellion ... I had just turned 20 years old.” The events at the Stonewall Inn are now widely regarded as a watershed event in establishing what was then a fledgling gay rights movement. “That night, when the police attempted to carry out an all-too-common raid and arrests, people outside who had long endured oppression and scorn, including some from those inside the bar who identified more with the established order and police, forever changed that

The Yolo County District Attorney’s Office is excited to announce the addition of eight new interns. These new members of the District Attorney’s team bring a tremendous amount of talent and a diverse array of life experiences to the table. Stephanie Dong, who will be working with the office’s deputy district attorneys as a legal intern, was born and raised in San Jose and spent three years in South Korea as a child. She is starting her final semester at UC Davis School of Law and hopes to pursue a career in prosecution after graduation. “My experience volunteering with domestic violence victims in high school and college sparked my interest in criminal law,” Dong said. Three new interns — Rachel Wong, Robb Ridgley and Il Kun Kim — joined the DA’s Neighborhood Court team. Neighborhood Court is a voluntary adult diversion program that uses restorative justice practices to resolve criminal cases for individuals charged with misdemeanor and felony offenses. “I was initially intrigued by the Neighborhood Court Program for its nonpunitive measures and emphasis on restorative justice. Community rebuilding is an essential part of improving a society, and so I am excited to become a part of the process,” Wong said. She worked at the UC Davis School of Law as a student assistant, which sparked her interest in criminal law. She is passionate about dance as a means of selfexpression, stress-relief and confidence-building. “I chose to attend UC Davis for political science and history to become an

international, criminal or public service lawyer,” Ridgley said, RAZI adding that he “still has a long, long time to decide” which specific path he wants to pursue. Prior to interning with Neighborhood Court, Ridgley interned in an emergency room and said that he is looking forward to “an entirely different challenge.” Kim, who goes by the nickname Kun, was born in South Korea and grew up in the United States. His parents and sister are the first in their family to live outside of the Korean peninsula. “My aspiration since I was a child was to become an attorney, and currently I am working hard to see that dream come true,” Kim said. He is rooting for the Sacramento Kings to snap their 13-year NBA playoff drought. The DA’s Victim Services Program also added three new interns to its ranks. Interns assist the program’s dedicated victim advocates in providing support to victims in criminal cases. Arianna Razi is a fourthyear student at UCD, majoring in political science and minoring in human rights. She also works as a supervisor of the Aggie Host Security’s sixth division. She plans to apply to law school after graduating in June. “Since I was in elementary school I always dreamed of becoming an attorney. Over the years, my interest in criminal, medical malpractice and corporate law began to grow steadily and my ultimate goal is to become a criminal prosecutor,” Razi said.

Alexis Gutierrez is currently enrolled in a master’s program through Arizona State University and works two jobs: one as a behavioral therapist for children on the autism spectrum and one as a server at Crepeville in Davis. “As a family member of multiple murder victims, I hope to use my past experiences and strong desire for justice to help other families going through similar situations,” Gutierrez said. Brianna Reveles describes herself as very passionate about law and politics. She graduated from Sacramento State University with a bachelor’s degree in political science. “Having been raised by a feisty single mother, I was taught the importance of independence and strength,” Reveles said. “I hope to be able to utilize this experience to further my career in law and pursuing the greater good.” Francheska Vicents will be joining the DA’s Data Driven Intervention Unit as an intern. The DDI Program interns assist with investigations and prosecution of chronic criminal offenders by performing crime trend evaluations, social media scraping, monitoring inmate communications and using other sources of data to determine appropriate resolutions for these targeted cases. Vicents works for the UC Davis School of Law as a student assistant to the dean. “My life’s motivations are my family, my passion to help people, and my dream to leave a lasting positive effect on individual lives,” she said.

Blue Devils head to playoffs Win over Jesuit golden for boys

Enterprise staff writer On Valentine’s Day, the Davis High girls basketball team showed its love for its lone senior, captain Surina Beal, with flowers, balloons, a pep band, a 78-51 win over visiting St. Francis — and, belatedly, a No. 14-seed playoff play-in game on Monday. “We wanted to get the win, we wanted to have fun for Surina,” said DHS coach Heather Highshoe after the Senior Night victory. “Surina leaves everything she can out on the court for us every single night.” Friday night was no different as Beal gave Davis (16-12 overall, 5-7 league) 13 points and nine rebounds with three treys in a classic “Ice-mo-Beal” performance. Joining the attack was junior Emme Eisenman, who torched the Troubadours (15-13, 8-4) for a career-high 21 points, and Skylar Schouten, who delivered 20 points and 10 rebounds. The duo put up the first double 20-point game of the season for DHS, but again directed the attention toward their friend Beal. “I think she deserves everything,” Eisenman said. “She’s put so much energy and effort into this program and being a great teammate to all of us.” The win capped a stunning week for the Devils, who knocked off No. 2 McClatchy on Monday for the first time in two-plus decades to earn a postseason ticket. Brackets released by Sac-Joaquin Section officials on Saturday have the locals hosting No. 19 Rocklin on Monday at 7 p.m. No. 3 Oak Ridge awaits on Tuesday. Entering Monday’s game, Davis teetered on the playoff bubble after losing three straight and falling to fifth place in the Delta. But the McClatchy game flipped the script. “We definitely did not expect to beat McClatchy, so I think that really gave us a big confidence boost,” Beal told The Enterprise. “And so it kind of shifted how we were looking at this game. This game became like, ‘OK, we can win this, let’s do this.’” The Devils had their feet on the gas from the jump. Davis held a 19-15 first quarter lead thanks to a buzzer-beating, mid-range

been a beast on the boards and finishing, too. I think everyone’s just really found their role and stepped up.” St. Francis stepped it up to start the third, going on a 6-0 run and cutting the lead to 1. But Eisenman responded, getting to the charity stripe for two (DHS hit 12-of-19 free throws), then hitting Beal in transition for a 3-pointer and knocking down a

The Davis High boys basketball team made a heckuva lot of noise Friday night in Carmichael. And they’ll be a part of the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs for the second straight season because of it. With Blue Devils Bryce Barker and Ryan Hakl each tallying 13 points, a decade-long Jesuit win streak against the Blue Crew reached its expiration as DHS stunned MaxPreps No. 2 team in Northern California, 69-67, in a do-or-die encounter that was set to make-or-break the locals’ playoff chances. The Devil win came just two days after the Marauders had knocked off the section’s top-ranked squad, Sheldon, 60-59, at home. “This one ranks way up there,” Devil head coach Dan Gonzalez said afterwards. “It’s a top win for Davis basketball and a big character win for a team that just doesn’t wanna quit.” And it was just what the sixth-place Blue Crew needed to make its case to section officials for a postseason berth, despite not securing one of the league’s top-four guaranteed playoff spots. Saturday afternoon, section officials elected to drop Jesuit (20-8, 8-4) and Elk Grove (20-8, 6-6) — schools that had finished ahead of DHS — to the Division II field. Davis (14-10, 4-8) on the other hand, was awarded a 13 seed, despite its rough finish in this year’s brutal Delta League. The locals will travel to Rocklin High on Wednesday, to face the fourth-ranked Thunder — co-winners of the Sierra Foothill League at 23-5, 9-1 along with a Folsom squad that Davis kicked to the curb, 87-71, way back in December. “We could easily be an 8-4 or 9-3 team,” Gonzalez explained. “I hope it’s recognized that this has got to be one of the toughest leagues around, if not the toughest.” Showing Jesuit some tough love on its Valentine’s Day Senior Night, the Devils snapped Big Red’s four-game win streak in both schools’ regular-season finale. It was Davis’ fifth win this season against a top25 ranked opponent in the section. And the biggest kicker of them all? Davis won the game short-staffed. Three

Break up the Aggies. Hitting on all cylinders from start to finish, the UC Davis men turned in their best offensive performance in the school’s Division I history to rout CSUN, 110-98, in a Big West Conference basketball game before a crowd of 1,811 Saturday night at The Pavilion. The win, UCD’s third straight after an inconsistent start to the league season, pushes the Aggies to 6-5 in conference and 12-15 overall. CSUN (formerly known as Cal State Northridge) is now 6-5 and 11-16. Senior Joe Mooney came off the bench to hit seven of his first eight 3-point attempts as the Davis used a 10-0 run to take a 24-15 lead midway through the first half. The locals never looked back. After building the lead to 15 points on several occasions in the second half, UCD used deadly accuracy at the foul line to thwart several CSUN comeback attempts. For the game, the Aggies were a sizzling 25-of-26 from the line after hitting 21-of24 Thursday night in a convincing win over UC Santa Barbara. Both Mooney and freshman guard Ezra Manjon were perfect in eight tries each from the charity stripe against CSUN. With five games left in Big West play, UCD has the opportunity to earn one of the top four seeds in the eight-team league tournament next month in Anaheim, the winner of which moves on to the NCAA tournament. Aggie head coach Jim Les, who preaches “defense, defense, defense” in games, in practice and in his sleep, laughed afterward when asked if he thought the Aggies could give up 98 points and still win against a talented CSUN team.

“We wanted our guys to know just how important this game was and where they stood. We’ve always said that no matter what happens earlier in the season, we want to be playing meaningful games in February and March and that’s exactly where we are.” Eight days ago the Aggies were struggling with a 3-5 mark in Big West play, but

Birthday girl Cierra Hall didn’t need much help blowing out all of the Anteaters’ candles Saturday afternoon. In an efficient display of women’s basketball, UC Davis marched to a 65-53 victory over visiting UC Irvine at The Pavilion. Hall, who turned 21 on the day, scored a team-best 17 points, collected a career-high 14 rebounds and was her usual suffocating self on defense. The win avenged a 73-68 loss at Irvine last week and gave Big West best UCD a one-game lead over secondplace Hawaii. The Rainbow Wahine and Aggies will each check in with 14-10 overall records, but Davis at 9-2 is a tick in from of their Feb. 22 hosts. “We were really focused on today,” explained Hall, adding the recent loss at UCI was fresh on everyone’s minds. “We knew we needed to come together, we need to play united and we need to play a better game. We came out to win.” It was a scrappy first period, which ended with Davis up just 16-15. Fans will remember that these same Anteaters — now 8-17 — were picked to win the conference in a preseason poll of BWC coaches. Teams still have to play good basketball to top UCI. What the Aggies brought halfway through the second stanza was a superlative 10:44 stretch in which Irvine didn’t score and Davis opened an 18-point lead after intermission. The final margin was the closest the ’Eaters got after that. “The thing that I see in our team is

Aggie Joe Mooney (22) pulls up for one of his seven 3-pointers. The UCD guard was 7 of 9 from behind the arc en route to a team-high 29 points as the Aggies won 110-98 on Saturday. “I wouldn’t have believed it, but in the course of a long season, you’re going to have a game like this and you have to figure out a way to win,” Les said. “I loved our offensive firepower (Saturday) even if I wish we had been a little more stingy on defense.

Athletes just want to be like you I

magine this scenario: You are just beginning your career, let’s say you’re 25 years old and beginning to find success in your field. Maybe the first job you accepted was good, but it wasn’t located in an area you particularly liked. Maybe you’re making good money, but not quite as much as you could given your skill set. Maybe you’re ambitious, but there’s someone already wellestablished in the work position you desire. And then, another employer offers you a better job, more money and a move to a city you prefer — everything that should

make you happier. It’s a no-brainer to accept that job, right? After all, this is your career, and most of what you do in life revolves around your employment ... ... Unless you’re an athlete. Then, in all likelihood, according to your fans, you’ve done something reprehensible. On Thursday night, I was reading an article about former Spanish soccer great Fernando Torres, a player who made Liverpool fall in love with him after one of the all-time great scoring runs in English Premier League history. However, after starring for four years at the club, he became

than winning a title. This — coupled with the fact that management began leaking to the press rumors of him leaving — caused the fan-favorite to want out.

L unhappy. Liverpool was undergoing an ownership change and began to sell off some of the best players on the team while also cycling through different managers. Once one of the biggest teams in all of Europe, Liverpool was then closer to getting relegated

ondon’s Chelsea, a club fresh off reaching the Champions League final, was interested. Chelsea wanted to offer him more money and residence in London, a much more attractive city. So he accepted. Fans burned his jersey. Torres had betrayed them. At the first game between Liverpool and Chelsea following the move, he was harassed by those who once loved him.

The only thing the fans didn’t consider was that Torres was, and is, a person. And people just want to be happy. The same thing happened when LeBron James signed with the Miami Heat — although, “The Decision” obviously didn’t help matters. And for years, American soccer fans were horrible to Landon Donovan because he didn’t stay at Germany’s Bayer Leverkusen and instead joined the L.A. Galaxy, playing at a much lower level. I’ve been to Leverkusen.

Postseason due for DHS soccer Girls after 5-peat

No. 1 Blue Devils vs. winner of Kennedy-Rocklin game

BY EVAN REAM

Playoff game: Wednesday, 6 p.m.

Enterprise staff writer Fresh off winning its sixth straight Delta League title, the Davis High girls soccer team was rewarded with the No. 1 overall seed in the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs. That makes it six years running that the Blue Devils have accomplished the feat. After an 11-1-3 regular season, just four games stand between DHS and its fifth straight section title. The push for that five-peat starts with a 6 p.m. Wednesday home contest against the Tuesday winner of No. 16 Kennedy and No. 17 Rocklin. “It’s hard to believe that we got the No. 1 seed again,” said DHS head coach Sara Stone. “I spent a lot of time on our team this year, and I wasn’t really aware of what was going on in the surrounding areas, so when today came, I didn’t really know how the other leagues were doing, so I wasn’t certain that even if we won the league that we would get the No. 1 seed — which made me excited that we got it.” Stone continued, “We’ve talked a lot about the benefits of being ranked higher and the home-field advantage that comes with it, but talking about it and doing it are two different things. Having the feeling that that was accomplished feels good, especially after losing 12 seniors last year.” Some rebuilding year ... With Davis likely to win its opening game — four of its past five first-round contests have been decided by double digits

from the other teams, and Tokay didn’t play anyone decent.” Still, the Flames went 13-7-2 on the season and qualified as the third-place team at 9-6 in the Tri-Valley League. Should Davis defeat Tokay, it will take on the winner of No. 3 Franklin (Elk Grove) and No. 14 Kennedy. The Devils lost twice to Franklin in conference play, the first in a 4-3 contest in which the Wildcats came back from a three-goal deficit, and the second a 1-0 game. Rounding out the DHS side of the bracket are matchups between No. 7 Gregori and No. 10 Cosumnes Oaks and No. 2 Oak Ridge and No. 15 Woodcreek. Davis split its two matchups against Cosumnes Oaks this season. Ironically, by falling to fifth place on the final day of the season, the Devils dodged a bullet — third-place Delta League qualifier Sheldon earned the No. 9 seed, but will have to face No. 1 Jesuit in the second round if it beats No. 8 Franklin of Stockton. That is assuming Jesuit defeats the winner of the No. 16 Bear Creek and No. 17 Folsom play-in contest. But at 19-1-1, it’s hard to believe either of those schools pose much of a threat. The final two matchups on the Jesuit side of the bracket are between No. 5 McClatchy and No. 12 Edison and No. 4 Turlock and No. 13 Armijo.

BIG WINS: All Devils chip in for victory DHS advances From Page B1 key Devil players were unavailable, nursing sickness or injuries that will hold them off the court indefinitely. Earlier this season, DHS big man Theo Seng — a San Francisco State commit who’d been consistently scoring 20 or more — was lost when he rolled his ankle against the bleachers during a tournament game at Dougherty Valley High. DHS went 10-0 in preseason play before his exit and had gone 4-10 since. “In the beginning of league we had some tough losses,” the injured Seng told The Enterprise Saturday. “But the guys (regrouped), we got it back together and it’s been awesome.” “Joey Asta came up huge with 30 points against Franklin and Ryan Hakl’s been great hitting his shots and driving to the basket.” Devil forward CJ Fabionar, a player who’d been filling in at center for Seng, also was lost from the lineup after taking a scary spill in a biking accident last week. But these next-man-up-mentality Devils had no quit this past week, on

Wednesday routing Pleasant Grove, 87-60, before Jesuit got a taste of their energy. “We were just battling the entire game,” Gonzalez added, his squad having overcome what was at one junction an 11-point deficit. Davis shot 13 for 17 from the free-throw line Friday, catching fire late to outscore the Marauders 30-11 across the final 8 minutes of play. Seniors Cody Taylor (11 points) and Joey Asta (8) were key in that run, with Taylor tossing in 9 points in the final quarter and Asta converting on five of his six tries at the charity stripe. “(They’re both) so solid,” the veteran coach of 21 years said. “Joey and Isa got tangled and he took a good shot to the face. And his tooth got a little loose, but he didn’t want to come out. As soon as he came off and got checked, he was (begging) to go right back in.” But the wild ride isn’t over just yet. Rocklin enters Wednesday’s clash having won 12 of its last 13 ball games. Their 6-foot-5 center Cole Gustafson and Davis’ Hakl will butt heads in the post, while Taylor will have his hands full containing an explosive senior

point guard in Donovan Lopez, a deadly long-range shooter averaging nearly 15 points a night. Bring on the Thunder. Notes: Friday, Jesuit’s Chris Halley chalked up 15, Isa Silva added 14 and Jack Andre tossed in 10. Keaton Massey added 6 for DHS, with additional Devil scoring via Isaiah Conlan (4), Joey Voss (4), Shiya Solodoff (4), Mikey Finerty (3) and Jackson Isidor (3). ... DHS also thumped 22-6 Sierra Foothill Conference squad Oak Ridge, 66-47, in December, as well as Antelope (18-9), Clayton Valley (19-7) and Wood (21-6). … Hakl leads the team with a 9.5 ppg average. Asta brings down 9.2 rebounds a night. Davis averages 78.2 points, while allowing just over 65. … The DHS JV lost to Jesuit, 63-47. The frosh Devils lost as well, 59-47. … In other playoff seedings, Sheldon received the No. 1 spot and will face the winner of Monday’s game between Monterey Trail and Bear Creek. No. 6 Cosumnes Oaks will host No. 11 Oak Ridge, 10 seed Woodcreek will hit the road to face No. 7 Franklin and the winner of No. 5 Modesto Christian and No. 13 Edison will play the victor of DHS v. Rocklin.

The Blue Crew — which never trailed in the game — held a 10-point lead heading to the fourth, then used a suffocating zone and full-court press to hold the Troubadours to 4 points in crunch time, clinching the win. “I’ve always believed in this team and what they are capable of,” Highshoe said. “They go out there and give me, and their teammates, everything they have. I couldn’t be more proud of this group and what they accomplished this week.” At this moment is there anyone who Davis cannot beat? “If there was any time for things to

11 wrestlers on to Masters BY EVAN REAM Enterprise staff writer

Needing a top-eight finish to continue in postseason play, 11 Davis High grapplers to next weekend’s Masters wrestling tournament, the final hurdle before the California championships. It was the second straight year that the Blue Devils advanced double-digit wrestlers to this stage — last year, a dozen Devils made it this far. “Our team wrestles better in the postseason, which is how it should be,” said Davis coach Johnny Rosendale. “Some kids wrestle tough in the regular season and struggle in the postseason. Our team is the opposite. Our kids wrestle the best in February. And it’s not just how they wrestle, but their entire mentality heading into each event.” Leading the way again for the locals was junior Adrienna Turner, who captured first place at the Sac-Joaquin Section North Regional Championships at Natomas High School. Turner posted a 4-0 record with four pins and only wrestled for a total of 3 minutes, 15 seconds (her longest match lasting just 1:40). Also featuring in a strong weekend was classmate Emma Bordios, who went 3-0 with three pins on Friday before falling in her last two matches to finish sixth. Meanwhile, the boys

competed at Elk Grove High in the Divisional Tournament, advancing nine of their 10 competitors to the next round. The high finisher for Davis was junior Zach Brooks. The 10th-ranked 220-pounder in the state finished in second place. Brooks wasn’t the only junior to move on; he was joined by Noor Mashiana (fourth-place), Aaron Turner (fourth-place), Tristen Wollrich (fifth-place) and Ethan Rosendale (fifthplace). Rounding out the qualifiers were Kosta Christopulos (sixth), James Davis (seventh), Ethan Horowitz (seventh) and Josh Prudhomme (eighth). For the Masters Tournament, the boys and girls will compete at the Stockton Arena on Friday and Saturday. The top six competitors from each weight class next weekend will punch their ticket to Bakersfield the following week — both Adrienna Turner and Brooks qualified last year, with Brooks becoming the first male DHS wrestler to do so in nearly 20 years. “Our kids are wrestling very well,” Rosendale said. “We’re bringing 11 kids to Masters this year, and, last year, we brought two to states. I’m hoping to bring six kids to states this year. We’ll see how it goes, but every single match at Masters is going to be hard.”

Put on some boots and explore what lives in a wetland pond at the California Ducks Days celebration on Feb. 22, and, below, don’t miss your chance to catch a trout.

California Duck Days are specquackular! Special to The Enterprise California Duck Days is Northern California’s wetlands and wildlife festival. This annual event takes place in the heart of the Pacific Flyway from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 22, at the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area Headquarters in south Davis, and features a wide variety of field trips, workshops and activities for people of all ages. The exhibit hall will host dozens of local environmental organizations providing information about their missions and offering interactive, educational activities and exhibits. The California Raptor Center will also be on-site with many of the birds of prey commonly seen throughout the valley. Workshops occur throughout the day. Molly Maupin, from California Waterfowl, will teach “Into the Wild,” a workshop for boy scouts wanting to complete the requirements for the “Into the Wild” activity. Waterfowl ID and Duck Calling are two other allages workshops offered. Onsite workshops are included in the $20 per car

On Friday, Feb. 21, The Other Voice poetry series will welcome Traci Gourdine and Bill Gainer. Davis Poet Laureate James Lee Jobe will host, and there is an open mic. This is a free event at the Unitarian Universalist Church library, 27074 Patwin Road, off of Russell Boulevard in West Davis. The readings begins at 7:30 pm. The open mic slots are for 5 minutes. Gourdine’s poetry and stories have been published in numerous literary magazines. She is co-editor of “Night is Gone, Day is Still Coming” (Candlewick Press), an anthology of young Native writers, as well as “We Beg to Differ,” poems by Sacramento poets against the war. She also co-edited the Tule Review. She is a professor of English at American River College and chaired the Creative Writing

Whether they help build wood duck boxes for conservation programs, learn about owls by dissecting an owl pellet, or put on galoshes to discover what lives in a wetland pond, there is never a dull moment at the festival for those curious about the natural world. Some of the region’s most experienced birders and naturalists lead trips such as tours of local nature

areas including the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area and South Fork Preserve. Emmett Iverson, Holly Coates and Zane Pickus will lead Yolo County Birding Hotspots, a great outing for those looking to move beyond beginning birding. New this year, Certified California Naturalist and Yolo Audubon board member Alison Kent will be teaching a nature journaling workshop. Field trip prices range from $10 to $35, depending on field

Aggies, Utes split; lacrosse wins Softball

Enterprise staff Starting pitching seemed to stand up and UC Davis managed to bang out 27 hits in two days as the Aggies kicked off the baseball season with a sun-baked split at Dobbins Stadium Friday and Saturday. The rubber game of the series goes at 1 p.m. today. In the opener, the Aggies won 6-4 with Nick Johnson picking up the win in relief of Brett Erwin, who went 5 1/3 innings, allowing six hits and three earned runs. On Saturday, the Pac-12 Utes were held to three hits and two runs through 6 1/3 innings before breaking out in the late going for a 15-8 nod. UCD catcher Logan Denholm went 3-for-4 in the loss, driving in two runs. Second baseman Jalen Smith also had three hits. Former Davis High player Jonah Henrickson scored, had an RBI and two hits. DH Spencer Gedestad added four hits on the weekend. The locals could have done without Utah slugger Shea Kramer. The left-fielder went 4-for-6 in Saturday’s game — with six RBI, including a home run.

Gymnasts soar AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — Junior Gabby Landess captured all-around honors with a career-best 39.250 while freshman Logan Clagg broke the 39-point barrier for the first time as an Aggie with her 39.125 as UC Davis gymnastics posted a season-beat 195.475 on Saturday to outduel host Air Force (193.250) and visiting UWWhitewater (192.700). Davis scored 49.150 on uneven bars — the third-best score in program history — while sweeping the top five spots: Clagg and Landess tied for first, Sarah Liddle and Cortney Cunningham tied for third and Cammi Johnson was fifth. The Aggies return to action for

Then in Saturday’s night cap, Portland State fell, 11-2, as Rojas’ roundtripper was one of four Aggie taters, joining Seigel, Delaney Diaz and Sarah Stark. In Saturday’s 5-3 setback against Utah State, the lefthanded hitter went 3-for-3 for the 6-3 locals. Katie Kibby pitched a complete-game against PSU.

From Page B1 have quickly turned things around. “This group continues to have a great attitude and a great work ethic, and when you have those, it’s eventually going to pay dividends,” Les noted. “We’re just glad to get the win, and I’m sure everyone that came was entertained. This wasn’t necessarily the blueprint we imagined, but we’re really starting to put it together.” Mooney led four Aggies into double figures with 29 points, his seven 3-pointers matching a career high. “Coming off the bench is fine with me,” Mooney said. “I’m here to do whatever the coach thinks will help us win games and this seems to be working. My teammates were finding me with some wide-open looks, and I really felt like I was in a good rhythm tonight. We haven’t won three in a row before now this year, so this will really help us.” Added Les, “Everyone is always saying ‘Joe, shoot it,’ and he was really locked and loaded (Saturday).” The Aggies return to Big West action Thursday at Cal Poly and Saturday at UC Santa Barbara, then come home Feb. 29 for a 5 p.m. game against Long Beach State. Notes: One of CSUN’s three assistant coaches is none other than Jim Harrick, who served as head coach at UCLA for eight seasons, including a national championship run in 1995 ... The 81-year-old Harrick has also served as head coach at Pepperdine, Rhode Island and Georgia ... He and Aggie head coach Jim Les had a pleasant exchange before the game ... Harrick’s great nephew Brendan Harrick is a redshirt freshman for the Matadors. ... While the initials “CSUN” stand for California State University Northridge, the school insists on its athletic teams being called “CSUN” and nothing else ... One explanation is that the school hopes that one day CSUN will become a household name like “UCLA” or “USC” or “LSU” ... Long ago, the school was known as San Fernando Valley State. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

DOMINANT: 19-2 run does it From Page B1 we’re getting better,” ninthyear UCD coach Jennifer Gross told The Enterprise. “We haven’t yet put together 40 minutes where it all kinda clicks. And I’m excited by that. I feel like we’re going to get to that. The buy-in from the team is to continue to get better every day.” As usual, the Davis offense was balanced. Katie Toole tallied 12 points, Campbell Gray had a career-best 10 and Mackenzie Trpcic added 9. White-hot post Sage Stobbart scored 7 and grabbed nine more rebounds. The Aggies out-caromed their guests, 49-32. Gross loves that on any given night, any roster member can carry her team. But on Hall’s special day, the coach reflected on what her 6-foot forward has meant: “She’s playing like an allconference player, that’s for sure. CC hits the three, she’s attacking the basket so well ...

Next game: Thursday vs. Cal State Fullerton, 11 a.m. Listen: KDVS 90.3 Watch: BigWest.TV she can score inside and out. She’s a playmaker passing the ball and then she’s so smart defensively, too. We’re just fortunate she’s with us.” Irvine’s emerging freshman Sophia Locandro, a 6-3 forward from Melbourne, Australia, scored a game-topping 24 points. UCD shot 46.7 percent from the floor on 28 of 60. Irvine was held to 17 for 61 (27.9). As part of their defensive acumen, the Aggies blocked five shots (two by Toole). Next up for UC Davis is an unusual 11 a.m. start on Thursday when Cal State Fullerton visits. The reason? The Aggies play in Hawaii on Saturday and they’ll have to catch

an early flight that day. Notes: So, what did the UC Davis women ever do to deserve this scheduling? The Rainbow Wahine (14-10, 8-3) are winners of six straight and will host UCD next Saturday at 10 p.m. PT. In and of itself, any trip to the islands is tough enough, but this matchup makes it seem like Big West planners are taking Davis to task. To wit, Hawaii will come into this game with a double bye. It will not have left Oahu since Feb. 8 and will not have played since beating CSUN, 70-66, on Thursday. Talk about vacationing in Honolulu. ... However, Gross says it’s not conspiracy. “We’ve had byes like that, but it doesn’t make it any less tough.” Or Hawaii any less rested. ... In other Big West Saturday action, Cal State Fullerton beat Cal Poly, 67-60, and UC Riverside nipped Long Beach State, 58-57. — Reach Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet41@gmail.com or call 530-320-4456.

Twice. Germany is my favorite country. I hate Southern California. Still, take all of the above into account, and in no world would anyone whose main goal is happiness actually ever live in the city of Leverkusen. It’s an ugly, industrial heap of nothingness that Donovan was ridiculed for not wanting to live in. I’d choose traffic, sunny weather and the beach every time. And so would you. A few years ago, American central midfielder Michael Bradley left AS Roma, a top club in Italy, to join Major League Soccer’s Toronto FC. The day it was announced, the U.S. Soccer corner of the Internet completely melted down. Why would arguably the United States’ best player voluntarily take a step down, especially in a World Cup year? Fans were outraged. What they didn’t consider was that Bradley was 27 at the time and just starting a family. Toronto FC was offering him more money, a longer contract and a move closer to home. My former podcast co-host, Abram Chamberlain, summed it up best in an SB Nation article he wrote about the transfer. All you really need to read is the headline: “Michael Bradley to TFC is not the best move for you, but you are not Michael Bradley.” So I think it’s important to consider the happiness and well-being of an athlete before you burn their jersey or bring signs to a game deriding them for making a decision that wasn’t in your best interests as a fan. Because you would do the same thing if you were in their position. — Evan Ream’s column publishes Sundays. Reach him at eream@davisenterprise.net or follow him on Twitter @EvanReam.
