Chapman provides glimpse ahead
The party’s over City cancels Fourth of July celebration
BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer The county’s health officer on Tuesday provided a glimpse of what lies ahead for Yolo County residents during the COVID-19 pandemic — including an order on its way requiring residents to wear face coverings in public — as well as an outline of how, when and where any elements of his countywide shelter-inplace order might be lifted. Speaking to the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, Dr. Ron Chapman said a new countywide
BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer The city of Davis announced Monday it has canceled the annual city Fourth of July festivities — including fireworks — due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Although the current shelter-in-place guidelines are very likely going to be over by the Fourth of July, we expect that there will be continuing restrictions on large events and crowds through summer,” said Davis Police Chief Darren Pytel. “Unfortunately, Davis just doesn’t have a large enough space that allows the event to go on and still provide adequate protection for everyone to see the fireworks,” he said. Davis Fire Chief Joe Tenney said the city, as well as the police and fire departments, will continue to monitor guidance from the state and county and “(i)t may very well be that the smaller gatherings will be permitted and that we will just have to find other, safer ways to celebrate the Fourth of July.” The city acknowledged those in the community that had already begun contributing to this year’s festivities prior to cancellation, including the Davis

Six deaths, 64 COVID cases at St. John’s BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer

Davis residents won’t be watching the traditional fireworks, seen here in 2017, or enjoying any of the other festivities or live performances, sponsored by the city of Davis each Fourth of July. The city has canceled the annual celebration due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Six residents of the Stollwood Convalescent Hospital in Woodland have died from COVID19, the county’s health officer reported Tuesday. A total of 31 residents and 33 staff members at the skilled nursing facility — which is located at St. John’s Retirement Village — have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, Dr. Ron Chapman told the Yolo County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday.
“The deaths of these residents are made all the worse because family, unfortunately, could not be at the bedside to say goodbye,” Chapman said. “The situation at Stollwood has been just too dangerous for visitors and unfortunately those families have suffered horribly and our hearts go out to them.” Meanwhile, the county announced a single COVID-19 case at another long-term care

Hold on, I wasn’t born yesterday I O hate to admit this, but I think I was probably 30 years old before I realized the Mayo Clinic did not exist to treat mayonnaise addiction. That thought came to mind the other day as I opened a thick packet from the Mayo folks in chilly Rochester, Minn. Apparently, they read my recent column that talked about my first 50 years at The Davis Enterprise and decided I was an old guy who needed some advice to avoid dropping dead in my soup. “Dear Mr. Dunniong,” began the communiqué from the desk of Daniel Roberts, M.D. (mayonnaise doctor), who apparently didn’t read my column closely enough to realize my last name does not have an O in it. “Astronaut John Glenn returned to space at 77. Julia Child had her TV debut at age 51 and wrote a cookbook at age 87. Frank Lloyd Wright was still working at age 91. Ronald Reagan was elected to his second term at age 73,” reads the first paragraph under my misspelled last name. I appreciate the history lesson, but I don’t intend to become an

Mr. Merchand is 102 years old.” Actually, he set a world record. A “new” world record is redundant. However, he did indeed break the “old” record. You should know, Dr. Roberts, that I do own a bicycle, but I don’t know if I could ride it 17 miles in one hour. Then again, I’m not 102,

AGGIE: Journalists seek to cut administration’s influence From Page A1
About us
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 2020
with nine members of The Aggie’s editorial board, voiced their concerns in an editorial published April 14. “Students within a student organization, especially an independent, student-run newspaper, should be able to — and would be best equipped to — choose their next student leader,” The Aggie’s leadership wrote. Founded in 1915, The Aggie is funded by student fees and its own advertising revenue. It runs with little faculty involvement. However, the editor-in-chief is a paid position that is hired by the Media Board and registered in the campus payroll system. Media boards at Davis and other campuses were created by the UC Board of Regents 50 years ago. The role of the UC Davis Media Board is “to develop policies for and oversee the budget and administration of student media,” said Mayra Llamas, the executive director of the UC Davis Community Resource and Retention Centers and current head of the campus Media Board. In a 1971 column, The Aggie framed the creation of campus media boards as an attempt by the regents to “restrain responsible political dissent” and induce selfcensorship within student-run newspapers, a perspective The Aggie’s recent editorial echoed. According to the editorial, all of the other UC student newspapers have since been given the power to choose their own editors-in-chief. Throughout its history, The Aggie has sought to hold student organizations and the campus administration to account.
In 2018, aggressive coverage of the need for more mental health and counseling services at UC Davis was followed by significant changes. In 2019, stories by The Aggie and the Sacramento Bee prompted investigations into a pattern of sexual misconduct in the Aggie Band-Uh. The marching band was subsequently dissolved and reformed. “The value of having a free press on a university campus cannot be overstated,” said managing editor Hannah Holzer. “In the four years I’ve worked at The Aggie, we’ve covered myriad issues that otherwise wouldn’t have been brought to the community’s attention.” Aggie editors and reporters interviewed by The Enterprise stressed the need for the newspaper to operate independent of the institutions it covers. “It’s important for all student newspapers to be separate from the administration,” said Janelle Salanga, an Aggie reporter and thirdyear student at UC Davis. Salanga called the current selection process a “conflict of interest.” When Holzer learned the newspaper’s editor-in-chief is chosen by the Media Board, she said she was “shocked and confused.” She had been interested in applying for the position, but worried her reporting — she authored the investigative series on counseling services — might be held against her. “I was very aware the administration did not see me in a positive light,” Holzer said. Even if the Media Board has the newspaper’s best interests at heart, current editor-in-chief Kaelyn Tuermer-Lee said, “there is an inherent bias if we are directly tied to the
DAVIS GLASS & SCREEN
administration.” Concerns over autonomy and journalism ethics aside, reporters and editors at The Aggie said they are better suited than members of the Media Board to discern which candidate would make the best editor-inchief. “Student leaders of The Aggie have extensive knowledge of how The Aggie operates, have experience working closely with the applicants and know the responsibilities involved in taking on the position,” said editor-in-chief applicant and current features editor Anjini Venugopal. “The voting members of the Media Board have not interacted with applicants in such a capacity.”
No quorum Holzer and others had lobbied for changes to the selection process for years. Their frustration reached a breaking point last week when, the day before interviews were scheduled to begin, The Aggie learned that only two members of the Media Board would be involved in choosing the next editor-in-chief. The board’s bylaws require that a quorum of at
least four voting members — there are typically seven voting members in total — be present for the entire selection process. “The previous student representatives dropped off the committee due to the current COVID-19 situation,” said Mayra Llamas, who heads the board. According to Tuermer-Lee, a non-voting ex-officio member of the Media Board, the student members had not attended monthly Media Board meetings all year long. The credentials of the two board members set to conduct interviews further eroded the Aggie journalists’ trust in the process. Neither Scott Stevenson, the associate director of foundation and corporate engagement at UCD, nor Nancy Rashid, an intellectual property officer for UC Davis InnovationAccess, list journalism experience in their professional bios. “It’s incomprehensible that the Media Board thought it would be OK for these two individuals to choose our next editor-inchief,” Holzer said. “It became something urgent that needed to be addressed.” The applicants collectively decided to refuse interviews
for the position until two demands were met. “At the very least, quorum should be obtained and we want the Media Board to commit to discussing reforming the process with us,” Holzer said. She added that The Aggie is not asking that the process be changed overnight. In a letter to The Aggie’s editorial board and editorin-chief applicants, the Media Board said it will pause the selection process until a quorum is met. The board is working with the Associated Students of UC Davis (ASUCD), the student governing body, to identify new student board members who will help choose the next editor-in-chief. Selecting the editor-inchief is “a high priority that deserves the utmost fair and thorough process,” the Media Board stated. The board has agreed to discuss reforming the selection process “for possible implementation for future hiring processes.” Whatever those changes look like, The Aggie’s editorial board said they are past the point where they will go along with the status quo. “We’ve raised these concerns in a way that there’s no going back,” Holzer said.

Ten deaths, 146 cases: Coronavirus by the numbers in Yolo County
Officals at the Yolo County Courthouse hope to begin expanding services on May 4.

COURTS: Video trials hit roadblock From Page A1 mouth and nose. That rule is expected to remain in effect as the court expands its services starting May 4, when several adult criminal, juvenile, civil and family courts start hearing cases placed on hold when the pandemic ramped up in mid-March. Those cases “will be called and heard using remote technology,” McAdam said, with in-custody defendants appearing by video from the Yolo County Jail and those out of custody also appearing remotely or having their presence waived. “It will be a return to normal.” Traffic, small claims and unlawful detainer cases won’t appear on calendar until further notice. Jury trials also remain postponed until at least May 22 under an order by California Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye, who also authorized preliminary hearings — proceedings to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to uphold criminal charges — to proceed by videoconference, with in-custody defendants appearing from the jail with their consent. While the Yolo courthouse is equipped to conduct those video hearings, the process hit a snag when attorneys from the Yolo County Public Defender’s
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 2020 A3
Office raised objections to their clients’ remote appearances. “Despite all of her emergency orders, the Chief Justice refused to strip those accused of crimes of the right to attend court with their attorneys by their side,” Public Defender Tracie Olson told The Enterprise last week. “Clients have overwhelmingly chosen to exercise this right. Clients are not observers, they are participants in their court cases, and their presence in court is necessary to the fair administration of justice.” Video preliminary hearings also are problematic because “until the COVID19 crisis is over, police officers can testify remotely from police stations and prosecutors can Zoom in their appearances,” Olson said. “Cross-examination via Zoom is a poor substitute for due process and fulfilling our clients’ state constitutional rights.” Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig said his office is “frustrated” and “disappointed” with Olson’s stance. “We’re in the midst of this health crisis, and we’re doing our best to honor everybody’s rights,” Reisig said, noting that other counties have successfully conducted remote hearings. “It’s not a perfect system, but it’s the best we can
do considering the grave results when you start bringing people live into the courtroom.” Reisig said the delays adversely affect crime victims’ speedy-trial rights as well as defendants, who could potentially see their charges reduced or dismissed, but instead remain in custody as their hearings are postponed. “I don’t see how that’s an advantage or benefit to their clients.” While a defendant may be transported to court with a judge’s approval, McAdam said during the conference call that Yolo wants to avoid what occurred in Riverside County, where dozens of inmates and jail staff became infected — and two sheriff ’s deputies died — as a result of a coronavirus outbreak that may have stemmed from an inmate transport. “We hope it becomes safe to transport in the next two weeks, and we are looking for guidance from the governor and local health officials,” McAdam told The Enterprise via email Friday.

Two more coronavirus deaths were reported in the last 48 hours in Yolo County, bringing to 10 the number of individuals felled by COVID-19 here. All 10 individuals were over the age of 55, including five over the age of 85, and six deaths have occurred at St. John’s Retirement Village’s skilled nursing facility in Woodland. Overall, women have been harder hit than men in Yolo County, numbering 87 of the 146 total confirmed cases so far and five of the deaths. All five women who died were over the age of 65. Cases have been reported in all age groups of females, including one under the age of 18, and 16 women have been hospitalized over the course of the pandemic. One of those hospitalized women was between the ages of 18 and 24 and another was between the ages of 25 and 34. Testing has largely been limited in Yolo County to those individuals with severe symptoms of COVID-19 who have come into contact with other positive cases. They represent what county health officials have referred to as the tip of the iceberg, with many, many other county residents likely positive as well, but not being counted. As of Tuesday evening, 1,511 county residents have been tested. Meanwhile, 11 men in Yolo County have been hospitalized for the virus, all of them over the age of 55.
Overall, women have been harder hit than men in Yolo County, numbering 87 of the 146 total confirmed cases. The city of Woodland, home to an outbreak at the St. John’s Retirement Village (in its Stollwood Convalescent Hospital) remains the county’s hotspot with 74 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus as of Tuesday. Stollwood currently has 61 total cases, according to Dr. Ron Chapman, the county’s health officer. Chapman told the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday the Stollwood total includes 30 residents and 31 staff members. However, not all of those staff members reside in Yolo County so would not be included in the county data. Sixteen residents of the city of Davis have tested positive for the novel coronavirus and two (both women) have been hospitalized at some point over the last few weeks. West Sacramento has seen 46 residents test positive and 15 hospitalized during the pandemic. West Sacramentans of all ages have ended up hospitalized because of the virus, including one individual between the ages of 25 and 34, but the bulk of hospitalizations in that city — 11 — involved
individuals over the age of 65. The county COVID-19 dashboard combines the city of Winters with all of the unincorporated areas of the county — a large rural swath of the county. Within that region, 10 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus have been reported and four residents have been hospitalized. One of those hospitalizations involved an individual between the ages of 35 and 44 while the remaining three were between the ages of 65 and 74. The county’s COVID-19 online dashboard also now includes information about homeless individuals who have been placed in motel rooms in order to ensure they can shelter in place in isolation. Project Roomkey, funded primarily by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, is a statewide initiative announced by Gov. Gavin Newsom earlier this month. Yolo County has been at the forefront of the effort, having placed 240 homeless residents in motel rooms as of Tuesday. Of those, 57 were placed in Davis motel rooms; 103 were in West Sacramento motel rooms; and 80 were in Woodland motel rooms. In his Saturday press briefing, Newsom called Yolo County’s efforts “spectacular.” Learn more about Yolo County’s coronavirus cases at https://www.yolo county.org/dashboard. — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@ davisenterprise.net.
GLIMPSE: Mandatory face-covering order is on the way From Page A1 transportation. The orders apply to all workers and visitors in essential businesses. Many county residents have already begun wearing face coverings in public and a number of businesses, such as Nugget Markets, are requiring them before guests can enter stores. Chapman said his facecovering order will likely remain in place and be a key component of any reopening of society in the coming months. Regarding that reopening, Chapman said the month-long shelter-inplace order in Yolo County has “flattened the curve” here. And while it’s too soon to celebrate — or end that shelter-in-place order — “it is time to begin a discussion about how we slowly begin to crawl out of this situation,” Chapman said. “We need to weigh the benefits of the gains we’ve made through social distancing and shelter in place with the huge risks of continuing with the economic impacts that we’ve seen.
“We know from past experience that high unemployment rates, deferral of healthcare, all leads to poor health outcomes in the future, and we need to weigh that against our present situation.” He cited a recent report out of the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security — Public Health Principles for a Phased Reopening During COVID-19 — as a good model for how to do this. The report cites four key criteria for decision-makers to consider moving forward, Chapman said. “The first is that the number of new cases has declined for at least 14 days,” said Chapman. “I think we’re doing well there.” With the exception of two specific outbreaks — one in West Sacramento several weeks ago and the nursing facility outbreak in Woodland more recently, “our numbers have remained low,” Chapman said. The second criteria is having rapid diagnostic testing capacity sufficient to test, at a minimum, all people with COVID-19

symptoms as well as their close contacts and those in essential roles. “Unfortunately,” said Chapman, “testing capacity remains limited. It has improved significantly since the beginning of the pandemic in the United States, and progress continues to be made.” However, he said, “it could be a while” before that criteria is met. The third criteria calls for a healthcare system able to care for all patients. Yolo County, said Chapman, has plenty of capacity to take care of the sick and with the opening of the Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento to take any overflow from Yolo and three other counties, “that really substantially addresses… the capacity of our healthcare system.” The final criteria is sufficient personnel to conduct contact tracing for all new cases and their close contacts. In Yolo County, said Chapman, “we have greatly expanded our capacity since Day One. “We have an isolation and quarantine team that has never existed before in
our county with many people that we have brought in from all over the county system and we continue to grow that in anticipation of new cases, especially as lab testing capacity expands. We’ll be identifying more and more cases and we need to continue to be aggressive with that effort.” With those criteria as guidelines for the future, Chapman said for now, the shelter in place will remain “with the expectation that people leave their residence only if needed.” And the face covering order, once issued, will be a key component of any new public activities that might be allowed in the future. “It’s important for people to know that any new approved activities will not be business as usual. There will be restrictions on all new approved activities with the expectation that they will follow social distancing and hygiene measures. “Face coverings, I hope, will remind people that this is not ‘back to normal’ or even close. And business will not be business as usual. Even activities that
will be allowed moving forward will have severe restrictions in place,” he said. County supervisors, meanwhile, made clear they want to be part of any decisions down the line leading to any relaxation of the shelter-in-place order. “I would like us to all have a sense of what’s going on before we do it rather than afterwards, and I want to be able to support every step that we take,” said Supervisor Don Saylor of Davis. Added Supervisor Jim Provenza of Davis: “We need to be directly involved in the process.” County Administrator Patrick Blacklock said supervisors would be involved, with the next discussion coming as soon as next week — on April 28 — which is just days before the current order is scheduled to expire. He noted as well that Chapman, in the end, has the statutory authority when it comes to the health order, but that he has made clear he wants the board’s input.

Chapman also noted that while Yolo County can have a stricter health order than that issued by the state, it cannot be more permissive, and that state order remains in effect as well. Supervisor Gary Sandy of Woodland ended the discussion by noting that as “we contemplate these changes, and frankly we’re at a point where we need to make changes … I also think whatever change occurs needs to occur thoughtfully and gradually and responsibly. “Those people who envision this as a return to the way it was are going to be sorely disappointed because I don’t think that we’re ever going to go back to the way it was,” said Sandy. “People are going to need to remain flexible in the face of those changes because it’s what’s going to be required to continue management of this disease.” — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@ davisenterprise.net.

According to research published in “The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition,” simply substituting whole grains for refined grains has a modest effect on gut microbiota and immunity. Refined grains have had most of the fiber milled out of them, leaving a refined carbohydrate that impacts your body the way sugar would. Opt for whole grains to get the fiber you need, along with protein and healthy fats.
A low-sugar swap to satisfy cravings While spending more time at home than normal, those snack cravings can be hard to shake. Rather than relying on easy-tograb eats from the pantry or freezer, focus on more nutritious choices that don’t sacrifice flavor.

In praise of the wonderful world of wine people
“W
ine person” might bring to mind that sommelier who foisted on you an expensive bottle that you didn’t even like much. Or the wine-seller who made you feel that if you weren’t willing to spend $50 on a bottle, you weren’t worth bothering with. I’ve run across both these folks. I once got up and left a very nice restaurant because my waiter fancied himself a wine expert who wasn’t about to put himself out to find something to my liking but wanted to decide for me on the basis of ... well, nothing, except a wine he wanted to promote. But my general experience of wine lovers, whether soms, sellers, writers or makers is quite different. At least the ones in my (granted very limited) wine world. This became quite apparent to me during recent fires, flooding and other catastrophes of the land when so many wine folks rushed in to help those who had lost vineyards or crops or homes or businesses. And it’s apparent to me now when I get messages from wineries and wine shops who are themselves trying to stay afloat during this crisis and at the same time support their colleagues and customers. The tone of these messages is almost always a communityminded one. Sure they want my business, but it’s clear that they see their customers and colleagues as part of a wine family with whom they’re eager to share their passion in as helpful a way
as possible. I mentioned in the last column one winemaker’s response to my question “how can my readers help you?” He urged people to buy his wine, yes, but to make sure that sellers and wine reps were taken care of, too. And I love the several-times-aweek missives from Vintage Berkeley that are clearly trying to raise all our spirits in these trying times. They include a photo of their little delivery van, which itself seems happy to make its local rounds supplying home-bound people with the wonderful small production wines the company specializes in. Wineries like Dirty and Rowdy, Forlorn Hope, and Broc Cellars send frequent updates filled with gratitude and amazement at the support they’re getting. And they’re getting that support because, for the most part, people who love wine also love the land it comes from and the cultures that cherish it and folks who make it — not to mention their fellow drinkers, especially after a few glasses. Several times, I’ve mentioned Back Room Wines in Napa. Owners Prashad and Felicia
write lovely emails, like the one that starts, “First and foremost, our hearts continue to go out to everyone who’s been impacted by this current situation, directly or indirectly. Our thoughts are especially with those who are sick, to whom we extend our heartfelt wishes for a full recovery. We’re truly inspired by the selfless healthcare workers around the world who are on the front lines working tirelessly to care for people in need.” And while they’d love you to pop in and buy wine, they’d rather you stay safe and stay home and let them deliver. So they’re offering free local delivery and, rather foolishly from a business point of view, free shipping on orders over $100. Check out their website — it’s filled with their carefully selected, smallproduction wines both imported and local. I can honestly say that since they took over the store, every wine I’ve bought has been excellent — and many downright exciting. One exciting find from my last visit there (only a few weeks ago but it seems like a decade), is Unlitro from Ampeleia (“vines” in Greek) Winery. Fascinated by the bottle, I asked Prashad about it. He gave me a huge smile said, “Get it.” Unlitro is part of a project of Elisabetta Foradori, one of Italy’s “superstar” winemakers. She and two friends are working in the Maremma region of Tuscany, using biodynamic grapes to make really fresh and elegant wines. This liter bottle is a blend of grenache and mourvedre;
fermentation with native yeasts occurred spontaneously and the wine was aged in concrete. It’s incredibly food-friendly, just 12% alcohol but lush with wonderful flavors — think sweet spices, red cherries, a hint of fig and lots of minerals. I wish I had a case. In the last column I mentioned the new website and delivery policy (and my own sixpack delivery) from The Pip Wine Bar/Shop in Dixon. I continue to enjoy those wines (I’m trying to ration them but have already received another sixpack and am compiling a third). One of the most intriguing so far: the Union Sacré l’Orangerie. Union Sacré sounds like a French label, but this project comes from the Central Coast and two friends, Xavier and Philip, who arrived there “from opposite ends of the Earth.” Xavier’s an enologist from France, who has been making wine for some of the best Central Coast wineries. Philip, from Michigan, “cut his teeth at Proof Wine Collective.” This particular bottle is, as you can probably guess from its name, an orange wine — that is, a wine made from white wine grapes that has had some skin contact, in this case for 45 days. If you haven’t yet tried an orange, this would be a perfect introduction. The grapes here are gewürtztraminer from Los Ositos vineyard in Arroyo Seco. Beautifully hued, with the characteristic gewürtz nose of orange blossom and honeysuckle, the wine is completely
dry, intense, structured, and wholly delicious. Food-friendly, too. Since Union Sacré is garnering accolades from everyone, and since the friends made only 245 cases, it has mostly sold out, but The Pip still has bottles and it’s definitely a wine worth splurging on ($28). And while you’re at it, try a bottle of Union Sacré “Chipie,” a wonderful cab franc ($22) from Crown Point Vineyard in Happy Canyon. These wines are a bit more expensive than my usual bottles, but the current crisis and its obvious relationship to our much larger climate crisis, has made me think, again, about what I eat and drink — and thus what I want my food dollars support. Garage winemaker Derek Mossman Knapp, part of an agricultural community in southern Chile, suggests we take this opportunity of enforced isolation to “recalibrate for better, more regenerative farming ... If consumers make an effort to buy direct, to buy from independents with an eye to small or oldschool producers, they will make a difference — not just in getting out of this pandemic, but also in future, giving proper work to farmers whom, let’s remember, we need three times a day. With them we can make our world at once more sustainable and more flavorful. Get yourself a glass. Swirl and think. We have time.” — Susana Leonardi is a Davis resident; reach her at vino susana@gmail.com. Comment on this column at www.davis enterprise.com.

Graduate students in the top 10 percent of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction. Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897 under the leadership of undergraduate student Marcus L. Urann who had a desire to create a different kind of honor society: one that
recognized excellence in all academic disciplines. Today, the society has chapters on more than 300 campuses in the United States and the Philippines. Its mission is “To recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others.” — Do you know of someone who has won an award or accomplished something noteworthy?

CASES: Health officials isolate infected staffers From Page A1 location in Woodland — the Californian Assisted Living and Dementia Care facility. That resident has been transferred to Stollwood. Chapman said over the course of 30 years investigating outbreaks in longterm care facilities, “I’ve honestly never seen an outbreak as stunning as the one at Stollwood, which tells us a lot about this virus.” That has been the case at nursing facilities across the country, often despite early action — like that taken in Yolo County — to limit visitors to longterm care facilities even before shelters in place were ordered. Following Chapman’s health order in early March, St. John’s, like other Yolo County facilities, prohibited family members from visiting loved ones as well as anyone providing non-essential services. Chapman has previously said the virus, if it did get in, would likely be brought in by an unsuspecting staff member. With 31 staff members at Stollwood now having tested positive, the county turned to the state for assistance, and it arrived in the form of replacements for those workers who are now in isolation. “There have been over 20 healthcare workers brought in by

the state … to take over the duties of those sick staff members, to be with those residents and family members and support them through this crisis,” Chapman said. “It has been an amazing, heroic effort.” Meanwhile, staff members who tested positive for the coronavirus have been isolated and contact tracing has been conducted by the county to identify and quarantine close contacts of those staff members. “We’ve done a massive contact investigation there,” Chapman said. “It has been completed and we have not had a new case in the last 24 hours. “I’m happy to report that many staff are recovering and once they’re out of isolation,” Chapman said, “they will be able to return to their duties at Stollwood.” St. John’s is home to about 150 residents living in 13 individual cottages, 14 apartments, 32 personal-care-unit apartments, 32 memory-care units and the 48-bed Stollwood skilled nursing facility. Last week Sean Beloud, St. John’s CEO, outlined steps the facility has taken to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus, steps that included testing all residents and employees in the skilled nursing facility for the coronavirus. Additionally, all St. John’s

residents have been asked to wear masks when outside of their rooms or in the presence of staff or others and residents showing symptoms of the virus are immediately isolated. Any resident who tests positive for COVID-19 is being placed in one of two isolation wings. St. John’s also closed its kitchen and has been working with Dignity Woodland Memorial Hospital and local restaurants for resident meals so that no meals are prepared on site. Outbreaks like that at St. John’s have occurred in more than 250 skilled nursing facilities in California since the start of the pandemic. According to a list published by the state Department of Public Health on Saturday, outbreaks have involved 1,290 staff members and 1,740 residents at those facilities. That list published by the state over the weekend was the first confirmation by any public entity of an outbreak at St. John’s in Woodland. Yolo County health officials up until then had declined to publicly identify St. John’s, even though family members of residents had reported the outbreak to The Enterprise and other media outlets and Beloud had addressed the outbreak in a message on the St. John’s website.

pressed health officials to be more forthcoming in the future. Chapman said Tuesday that the county is in the process of creating its own online dashboard that will provide the public with updates on cases at any local longterm-care facilities in the county. Additionally, Chapman announced Tuesday the one confirmed case of COVID-19 at the Californian and the decision to transfer that resident to Stollwood. “Thus far, the virus has not spread to other residents or staff at the Californian,” according to a press release from the county late Tuesday. “Yolo County Public Health has been working closely with staff at the facility to isolate and test any individuals that may display symptoms.” Chapman said while the numbers coming out of Stollwood are “devastating... the number of COVID-19 cases in the community remains low and the healthcare system continues to have full capacity to care for sick people. “This is heartening and is a direct result of the public’s efforts to socially distance and shelter in place,” he said. — Reach Anne Ternus-B ellamy at aternus@davisenter prise.net.

A6 THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE • WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 2020
Davis celebrates 50th Anniversary of Earth Day BY LESLIE CRENNA Special to The Enterprise Fifty years ago in 1970, 20 million Americans spilled into the streets to call for greater protections for our planet, spurred on by international best-seller “Silent Spring” by Rachel Carson and the organizing efforts of Senator Gaylord Nelson. By the end of the year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency had been created and three federal acts had been passed: Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species. This April 22 is a super special Earth Day! It's the 50th anniversary and the global theme for Earth Day 2020 this year is climate action.

All-electric homes — carrot vs. stick BY AARON NITZKIN Special to The Enterprise In January, the California Energy Commission approved a new building code in Davis that encourages the construction of all-electric homes and discourages the use of natural gas to fuel residential appliances and heating systems. This comes after numerous California cities have approved similar initiatives, including Berkeley and San Francisco. While those other initiatives are being fought in court and have yet to take effect, the Davis change became effective immediately and now applies at the time of permit application for all new low-rise residential projects. According to an article in the Sacramento Business Journal, Davis had to get approval from the commission because its local ordinance exceeds the energy-efficiency requirements of the 2019 California Energy Code. How was Davis able to implement its code so quickly? By relying on the “carrot” versus the “stick.” The new code incentivizes the desired behavior rather than penalizing the undesired behavior. And it is flexible, offering options to builders.
All-electric ‘Green Reach Code’ requirements The city’s new green “reach code” encourages the construction of
all-electric homes by waiving some of its strict code requirements for builders choosing that option. But for builders not ready to forego natural gas, the city allows them the option of pre-wiring the homes to be easily retrofitted to allelectric down the road. This approach also streamlines the city process for some new construction, thus freeing up municipal resources, by eliminating the need to negotiate energy efficiency and solar energy requirements for the new allelectric homes. The impact of the Davis all-electric incentive will be minimal on its citizens’ quality of life. Not that long ago, home buyers shuddered at the prospect of purchasing all-electric homes, which were known for their high electric bills and poor heating. Today, electricity-powered appliances and household systems are gaining in popularity. Such features are now a staple in netzero homes, which generate at least as much energy as they consume. Powering these appliances and systems,
LIFETIME WARRANTY
and helping make net-zero homes possible, is clean solar energy. Solar panels on rooftops deliver emissions-free power into the home. Energy storage systems collect unused solar electricity in batteries, allowing homeowners to use that energy later. Advances in all these clean energy technologies, dramatic reductions in costs, and the recognition by government leaders that homes can be allelectric without sacrificing creature comforts or breaking the bank, are making the shift away from fossil fuels realistic.
Pioneering work in energy The city of Davis, working closely with nonprofit partner Cool Davis, has consistently pioneered renewable energy and energy efficiency. Back in 2010, the city adopted its Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP), committing to carbon neutrality by the year 2050. In 2019, the City Council passed a resolution that accelerated
the carbon neutrality target to 2040 and committed to a comprehensive 2020 CAAP Update. In 2016, the Cool Davis and the city launched its Double Up on Solar campaign, setting out to double the number of residential solar installations to 4,500 by 2020. This new reach code is a good example of Davis continuing to push the envelope and lead through innovative, sustainability initiatives. When more cities, towns and states adopt the carrot approach that Davis favored, that shift will pick up speed and become a true movement. The day is coming when not only California, but states around the country and perhaps the entire nation, will rely almost entirely on emissions-free electricity, produced mostly by clean and renewable energy, to power our homes and our lives. — Aaron Nitzkin is executive vice president of Citadel Roofing & Solar in Davis, Vacaville, and Roseville. He also serves as the chair of the Cool Davis solar task force. Aaron has lived in Davis for 14 years.

Despite upheaval, Ochoa moves ahead DHS hurler sad to lose her senior year; heading to Penn State BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor ”I’m just trying to stay positive during a not-so-happy time.” It’s a sentiment that could be attributed to one of millions of people around the globe. But this time it’s Davis High student-athlete Paige Ochoa weighing in on the disappointment — and challenges — of having lost not only the end of her senior year but of having to head off to college with her sports career on hold, sort of ... Ochoa, a softball veteran who was coming into her own for the Blue Devils, had just pitched a five-hit, 10-strikeout complete game while her teammates seemed to be getting it together under first-year varsity coach Tyler Gibson. Gibson knew that Ochoa was a team leader and as her fortunes went so would go the Devils’ luck. Well, coronavirus ended the promise of what seemed to be a breakout season for both the squad and the pitcher. But Ochoa is anchored. She’s as accomplished in the classroom as she is in the circle — and her 4.2 grade-point average and harbinger of great things in softball have her headed to Penn State in the fall. While it’s not a given that she’ll join the roster with the Nittany Lion women, there’s a crack in the door ... “School starts Aug. 24 and two weeks later I have a tryout to walk on with the team,” Ochoa told The Enterprise via phone interview. “It has everything I was looking for ... a big school with big sports and a social life. Why wouldn’t I go to Penn State?” Maybe because it’s 2,500 miles away and she’ll have to do her own laundry? No matter to Paige. She took inspiration from her sister Shea, who’s a junior at the University of Alabama.

Davis High softball pitcher Paige Ochoa — with best friends Greer, left, and Oliver — laments missing out on traditional senior-year milestones but is excited to attend Penn State in the fall. “We lived in Maryland for a year when I was in the eighth grade and I got the whole East Coast experience,” adds Paige, whose dad, Chris, is an attorney for the International (building) Code Council. “Then, seeing my sister (at a big school) become a whole different person, mature and so much more independent, it convinced me I wanted to do the same thing — push myself, step out of the box and kind of go for it.” Ochoa admits that not being able to play her senior softball season has been frustrating. Other colleges didn’t get a chance to see her since practice and play are at a standstill. Even the advent of summer travel ball remains up in the air. “There would have been videos of me, more statistics, and I think another year would have helped my confidence, too,” says the girl who had led DHS to a 3-4
start last month. “But I don’t think having (the spring season) would have super-swayed my decision to go to Penn State. It’s just going to make the softball part of it a little bit more difficult.” Ochoa has been sheltering in place while squeezing in conditioning runs, some backyard exercise and pitching to her dad. She’s also had some friendly competition going with younger brother Brooks, a ninth-grader at Harper. “He a baseball player, so we’ve been playing home run derby,” Paige says. So how’s that going? The elder Ochoa says Brooks hits the ball farther, adding: “I can still strike him out, and that’s all that matters.” Softball aside, like for most high school kids, the COVID-19 quarantine has stolen a handful of rites of passage. No prom, which Paige planned to attend. A cancellation of Senior Awards Night (Ochoa’s 2019-20 GPA stood at 4.6, so you know there might have been some public recognition in store for her that
evening). Graduation ceremony’s out ... “All I wanted was to walk on the football field and get my diploma — the way we all deserve it,” Ochoa laments. “We have gone through 13 years of schooling. I don’t want my diploma emailed to me, then I get to print it out.” Ochoa says she’s already nostalgic about her days as online sports editor of the Davis High newspaper, The HUB. She’ll miss working with adviser Kelly Wilkerson in the future and says her agriculture classes — taught by Alexander Hess — were of surprise interest to her. When she gets to Pennsylvania, her major will be early education. Mom Erin, a former kindergarten teacher and current substitute, is the inspiration there. Ochoa wants to keep writing and thought that when The Enterprise called to chat it was “cool,” adding: “This is my first time being the interviewee instead of the interviewer, so it’s kind of fun.” Education and softball aside, what’s important to Paige? “My family is a huge part of who I am,” she responds, noting that having Shea, Brooks and her parents together again means “a lot of family dinners ... doing things together again.” Her dogs, Oliver and Greer, are constant companions and she’s fallen back on her interest in painting to fill some of the dead time in being sequestered: “I’m not a super-awesome painter, but during this quarantine, I’ve taken up painting little designs on rocks. It’s kind of fun. And while I’ve been with The HUB, I’ve enjoyed writing. I’m definitely the creative type and don’t like to just sit around.” Wilkerson says Ochoa, in her third year in journalism, was, not surprisingly, a leader on the newspaper staff and in the classroom. “She does the little things that makes the class a community,” Wilkerson points out. “She designed and organized our T-shirt sales; she helps younger, less-experienced students do sports stories because at The HUB every kid has to write a sports story. “She managed to do all that while being involved in (softball) and (other undertakings).” It’s par for the course for Paige Ochoa, who says of the coronavirus ordeal, “I believe something good will come out of all this.” Not the least of which could be that Blue Devil followers will get a chance this time next year to watch Paige toiling in the circle for the Nittany Lions.
Even before COVID-19 the belt was tightening
A
couple of months ago, right before the rapidly emerging coronavirus stopped the sporting world in its tracks, I penned a column that follows this introduction. The column never made it into print, however, as the news of the day moved decidedly away from the sports page. The column had to do with a movement afoot at Eastern Washington University to put that school’s athletic department on a diet. Note, this movement was in motion prior to the coronavirus. While nothing has come of the movement — and hopefully nothing will — it turns out all colleges and universities will now be facing tough decisions when it comes to resuming athletics and how to solve the very real problem of dramatically reduced revenues. The column follows: Don’t look now, but there was a scary headline the other day in The Inlander, an excellent weekly newspaper published in Spokane and serving much of the Pacific Northwest. “EWU faculty report suggests cuts to athletics budget — or even eliminating it entirely,” said the headline over a story by Wilson Criscione. EWU, of course, being Eastern Washington University, one of UC Davis’ talented football rivals in
the Big Sky Conference. While the Aggies are a footballonly member of the Big Sky, it’s an important alliance, given that no other FCS leagues exist on the West Coast. EWU, meanwhile, is a fullfledged member of the Big Sky, even though its sports offerings are limited compared to UC Davis, which is considered the gold standard among FCS schools in terms of the wide variety of sports it offers for both men and women. Eastern has six men’s sports and eight women’s sports, and like many FCS schools that don’t have 90,000-seat football stadiums and fat television contracts, it spends more on athletics than it takes in. EWU is located in Cheney, a small and extremely friendly college town just a short ride from Spokane. EWU’s fans take considerable pride in Eagle athletic teams and support them about as well as a small town can. I’ve always been amazed at how a small university in rural Eastern Washington can attract so many talented athletes, especially in football. This is a school, after all, that won the 2010 Division I-AA (now FCS) national championship in football. “Frustrated with recent budget cuts, Eastern Washington University faculty prepared a report ...
that takes a critical look at the athletics department and suggests possibly eliminating athletics entirely,” the story begins. “The report analyzed the cost of the athletics program to be around $12 million to $14 million per year, but says it has had ‘no positive impact on our student enrollment, retention or recruitment.’ “
T
hat may be, but you can bet your last dollar that the program has had an incredibly positive impact on the literally thousands of student-athletes who have proudly represented the university over the years. Not to mention the many thrills it has provided for its loyal fan base. The report is in-depth and lengthy and is not the product of several disgruntled faculty members who wouldn’t know a touchdown from a first down. No, it was commissioned by the EWU faculty senate and will now be presented to the school’s administration, Board of Trustees,

and University President Mary Cullinan. “Eliminating the athletics department was just one of many suggestions laid out as an alternative model for athletics,” the story goes on. “The others include imposing budget cuts on athletics, eliminating only football, or transitioning to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), the NCAA Division II or NCAA Division III.” The school’s official Twitter account responded with a terse denial, stating, “There are no plans at EWU to cut our football program or change our athletic division level.” The faculty report notes EWU’s dwindling enrollment in recent years has necessitated a $3.6 million cut from the 2020 budget. Funding has long been an issue in college athletics. UC Davis used to compete in a number of sports in the highly competitive Far Western Conference, which later became the Northern California Athletic Conference. The Aggies became so successful in football that at one point they won 20 straight championships, which was one important factor among many that convinced most league schools to simply drop football.

No longer do San Francisco State, Chico State, Sonoma State, Cal State Hayward (now Cal State East Bay) and Humboldt State play football, although they still offer competition in other sports.
B
ig-time powers USF, Santa Clara and St. Mary’s long ago dropped their football programs in the face of staggering costs. Former Aggie opponents UC Santa Barbara, UC Riverside and University of the Pacific, among many others, are also on the football dropout list. In times of tight budgets, it’s easy to see intercollegiate sports as fringe extra-curricular activities that should be the first to go. In reality, however, a strong athletic program can be an important part of the whole, not just for the athletes involved, but also for the entire university, its fans, its alumni and the surrounding community. Some of us would rather walk into a football stadium than an art gallery on a Saturday afternoon. For many others, just the opposite is true. Hopefully, at Eastern Washington a way is found for all its programs, athletics and otherwise, to thrive. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

COMMENTARY County responds on 1st COVID case BY JENNY TAN Special to The Enterprise
Y
olo County would like to take the opportunity to address an article regarding the experience of the first confirmed COVID-19 case with our local public health system. By providing some additional context we hope to offer more clarity on our public health role during this pandemic. Prior to addressing these concerns, we want to first express our appreciation for this individual sharing her story to help educate and inform the public about this illness. We sympathize with what must have been a very difficult and frightening situation as this individual navigated through what turned out to be the first confirmed case in Yolo County. We are thankful that this individual has recovered and hope that she continues to feel better. Since this individual was the County’s very first case, much has changed since she was diagnosed and the County has taken away many lessons learned from those early days when the federal, state, and local entities were trying hard to ramp up response efforts to address the growing COVID-19 pandemic. To provide additional clarity, the County would like to provide some information regarding a few key concerns in the article. ■ Concern regarding information in the initial press release. An initial press release from the County announcing the first COVID-19 case described the patient as an “older woman with underlying health conditions” based on initial information received from health care providers. While a correction to this information was requested it unfortunately did not occur in the rush of containment efforts and COVID-19 related events that followed. The press release has now been updated. ■ Concern over the thoroughness of contact investigations following the COVID-19 diagnosis. Following the diagnosis of the first confirmed case, the County worked closely with the California Department of Public Health to review contacts and ensure appropriate follow-up. As a result, immediate notifications were made to the entities potentially affected, which included the patient’s workplace; the county of a relative; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to report flights travelled on; and various healthcare facilities that the patient visited. In the process of contact tracing and in consultation with the CDPH regarding potential local exposures, including a nail salon, no other contacts met the CDPH’s exposure criteria for evaluation and followup. ■ Concern over being released from isolation prior to receiving a negative COVID-19 test. Guidelines from the CDC and the CDPH allow patients to be released from isolation once they are symptom free for 72 hours without first having a negative COVID-19 test. Due to continued shortages on testing, tests continue to be prioritized to confirm high-risk cases and exposures and not to confirm recovery status. Additionally, due to those shortages, household contacts are currently not prioritized for testing; particularly if they are asymptomatic. We know that many people with COVID19 are suffering and dying from this terrible infection. Additionally, the isolation and quarantine required to fight the disease are incredibly challenging for individuals and their families. As a county we can always do better and are looking at this account as an opportunity for checking and improving our own response efforts going forward. In this consistently evolving pandemic, agencies such as Yolo County Public Health along with the local healthcare system are continually changing to better coordinate and to ensure that the various needs of patients are met. For detailed information and guidance about COVID-19, visit the Yolo County webpage at: https://www.yolocounty.org/ coronavirus. Residents can also call Yolo 2-1-1 for resource information. For additional updates follow Yolo County on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/ YoloCounty/ or Twitter at @YoloCounty CA. — Jenny Tan is Yolo County’s public information officer.

Get rid of parking, get rid of traffic “Minimum parking requirements act like a fertility drug for cars.” —Donald Shoup, author, “The High Cost of Free Parking”
I
t’s understandable that some Davis residents oppose the 185-acre Aggie Research Campus, which Ramco Enterprises and its partners hope to build east of Mace Boulevard across from the University Covenant Church. The ARC plan calls for 4,340 parking places! That’s a lot of cars coming and going. Not all vehicles driving in and out of that development — which includes 2,454,000 square feet of office, R&D and manufacturing space, a 150-room hotel, 40,000 square feet of retail and 850 housing units — will crowd Mace Boulevard at once. Nonetheless, a busy corridor that already suffers from traffic congestion — severe when I-80 backs up — could get much worse as a result of the Aggie Research Campus. Doing a cost-benefit analysis, the average bloke in Davis might think: this brings me no material benefits; and it costs me 5-10 more minutes each time I drive on Mace between Covell Boulevard and I-80. But that ignores an important component of the equation: the tax revenues the ARC will bring to the City of Davis and to Yolo County. That money will benefit the average bloke insofar as it preserves and enhances funding for public safety, for weed abatement and vector control, for roads, bike lanes, sidewalks and other infrastructure, for parks, greenbelts and trails, for public health and welfare programs. There also will be benefits to local businesses and
workers, as people employed at the business park spend money in our saloons, salons, shops, galleries, cafes and restaurants. We don’t yet have estimated dollar figures that the Aggie Research Campus will bring. But it’s certain the project will provide longterm revenues from property taxes, sales taxes and the hotel tax and will boost the public coffers from construction taxes and development impact fees. City Councilman Dan Carson told me by email that we should have numbers in May. “The city hired the economic consulting firm EPS to provide those estimates,” Carson wrote, “and they will include projections of gross revenues, the costs to provide city services for housing and commercial operations at the site and the net fiscal impact of the project.”
A
consulting report which has been completed is the transportation impact study by Raney Planning & Management. It estimates how many extra cars the Aggie Research Campus will put on the road. According to Raney, “the ARC project would generate an estimated 23,888 new external daily vehicle trips, 2,232 new external a.m. peak-hour vehicle trips and 2,479 new external p.m. peak-hour vehicle trips during a typical weekday.” The vast majority of those drivers (88.4 percent) will be
office, R&D and manufacturing workers and hotel guests and employees. The remainder (11.6 percent) will be people who live on-site. Because the Mace Boulevard corridor is already wellserved by Yolobus and Unitrans, it’s expected some workers will take public transit to and from work. Others, who live in the business park or nearby will bicycle or walk to work. Raney suggests the project should include “carpool, buspool or vanpool programs.” There is a laundry list of smart ideas proposed by the consultant to mitigate the traffic impact in the Mace Boulevard area and on I-80 between the Causeway and Kidwell Road, including requiring workers to come and go at off-peak hours. My suggestion, not considered by Raney or Ramco, would go much further. Get rid of the 4,340 parking places planned for the project. Only provide parking for onsite residents and cyclists. Include drop-off zones for vanpools, rideshares, buses, delivery vehicles and transit for the handicapped. Originally, Ramco had proposed 6,032 parking places. But they realized that with better utilization of buses, vanpools, ridesharing, bicycle facilities and so on, they would not need as much vehicular parking onsite for the same size buildout. So they cut back by 1,692 stalls. If there were no parking spaces for workers driving in from Central and West Davis, Woodland, Dixon, Vacaville, Winters, West Sacramento and Sacramento, how would people get to work? It’s not likely many would be willing to bicycle back and forth each day to the ARC from remote locations. But if
Davis residents who work there were given an incentive to ride a bike, more would. If workers could not drive, many would take a bus. The developer can work with Yolobus and Unitrans to make sure more express buses serve the workers in the new business park. The developer might also hire private buses, as is common now in the Bay Area.
T
he Aggie Research Campus could also operate vanpools that, for example, pick up workers at their homes in Woodland, Sacramento or Vacaville and drove them to and from their jobs. Additionally, Ramco could build an off-site parking lot between Road 32A and I-80, near Exit 76. That unused land, 2 miles from the project site, would make a good parking lot. People driving from east of the Causeway could park in that lot and take a shuttle on Road 32A to the ARC, avoiding Mace Boulevard. Valets could also park the cars of hotel guests and visitors in the remote lot. Since the establishment of zoning 100 years ago, almost every development has been required to plan for private vehicular parking, assuming that people must drive their own cars to and from work or home. But if we get rid of parking for cars and plan instead for people to take public transit, a vanpool, a bicycle or walk, we won’t need to waste prime land on parking lots. If a no-parking model were adopted in Davis, traffic congestion would go down, not up. — Rich Rifkin is a Davis resident; his column is published every other week. Reach him at Lxartist @yahoo.com.
LETTERS Gratitude for Measure G I write this letter to express my gratitude to our community for supporting our school district’s need to pay our Davis public school teachers and school employees a more fair compensation. I believe the step we took by passing Measure G will ensure that our community will continue to have the very best educators teaching our children, and will help us attract and retain the very best K-12 teachers long into the future. I would be remiss if I didn’t also thank The Davis Enterprise for its longstanding support of our schools and enabling us to get the message (and actual facts) out to those interested in placing our public school system at the top of our community priorities. Finally, on a somewhat unrelated note, but along the same topic of gratitude...I wanted to share that my mother, a retired nurse, encouraged me to participate in a weekly show of support and appreciation for all of those essential workers (chief among them those in the medical profession and first responders but also those working to maintain the supply chain of essential services and products) during this time. So, if you hear a brief 30 second ruckus on Friday nights at 7 p.m., likely from the honking of car horns or banging pots and pans, it will be those of us demonstrating our gratitude and appreciation for these wonderful heroes of the day ... I encourage (and challenge) all to participate! Alan Fernandes Davis school board trustee

Why lock out the trees? The mature tree canopy in downtown Davis is an invaluable historic, environmental, and economic asset. It is a legacy we are fortunate to inherit and its future rests in our hands. Ideally, because of our informed stewardship the next generation will inherit a healthier and more extensive tree canopy resource. The draft Davis Downtown Specific Plan allocates 25 pages of guidance to the design and placement of signage, but nothing to canopy-conservation and the integration of new trees into downtown development.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE
A huge missed opportunity BY SCOTT RAGSDALE Special to The Enterprise
A
t a time when many families are struggling with food security and the wounded economy is swooning, does a 25 megawatt solar farm deal really matter? You can’t eat electrons, but soon enough you won’t be able to cook without them — so it matters. That’s why we should be celebrating that Davis signed a land lease option for a 25 megawatts of solar with BrightNight. But city leadership has seriously lost its way and the deal has left Davis as much as $120 million short. The city does not have to let this stand. Since the 4-to-1 vote in favor of the lease on March 24, there have been dozens of calls to reconsider the solar lease option with upstart BrightNight. On April 10, The Davis Vanguard published Alan Pryor’s comprehensive article, “Did our City Council Just Agree to the Absolute Worst Deal in the City’s History?” I am in agreement with all the points made by Pryor and his calculation of lost revenue. By leasing the land instead of purchasing the 25 megawatt system, the city lost the ability to realize in the neighborhood of “over $121 million” over the lifetime of the project. “So with one stroke of a pen, the city gave up … almost all of the net income from the solar system.” Only by choosing to negotiate the solar deal in closed-door meetings could the city have duped itself so badly. Beginning immediately after the deal was made public in March and all the way through three hours of the Davis Utility Commission’s April 15 meeting, it had become even more evident that Davis was (and remains) in trouble. The April
COMMENTARY meeting was the first time city managers had to answer commission questions about the six-month closed-door solar lease option negotiation process. After about an hour, Davis Utility Commission’s chair, Johannes Troost, stated “I don’t understand why you (Mike Webb, city manager) did not reach out … I’m confused.” It was a too polite a rebuke. Further answers only reinforced how poorly city leadership had represented Davis’ energy and fiduciary interests. At meeting’s end, the commission discussed, but withdrew (only for further consideration) a recommendation that the City Council rescind the contract with BrightNight. BrightNight’s CEO Martin Herman spoke during public comment at the Utility Commission Wednesday. He said he wanted to be a good partner with Davis, but Hermann did not negotiate with city leadership in good faith. Greg Row, former manager with Sacramento County Department of Airports, in last Sunday’s letter to the editor stated. “I never found a situation that justified a sole-source contract.” Anyone doing business with large assets knows this.
A
mong the other failures, city management did not avail themselves of Davis Utility Commission energy expertise, or any solar expertise, in the negotiation. No one representing the city had resident knowledge of the solar industry. This left the City at the mercy of BrightNight’s Hermann. Hermann had to know this. On March 24, in defense of the Martin Hermann/BrightNight deal, Dan Carson stated “in dealing with climate change, we are just going to
LETTERS From Page B2 Low Impact Development/Green Infrastructure Improvements. Trees intercept rainfall and reduce runoff, and provide a more pleasurable environment for pedestrians downtown. ■ Include specifications on providing adequate growing space for trees in densely developed areas. Healthy trees will not prosper without ample space for roots to grow. Structural soils, silva cells, and other technologies can be used to create rooting space for trees without sacrificing space for sidewalks, plazas, patios and other largely impervious surfaces. Protecting healthy trees during development and integrating new trees into downtown development is complex and requires use of the best science and materials at our disposal. By investing now in our trees, we will be providing future generations with a legacy that we will be proud to have passed on. Erin Donely Marineau Tree Davis executive director
Solar panel deal The process (or, in this case, lack thereof ) and conclusion of granting BrightNight use of city-owned land is seriously flawed. It failed to comply with the city’s standard open competitive bidding policy to avoid sole-source contracts, the contract was not reviewed in a transparent open manner utilizing the expertise of the city’s advisory commissions, and the process failed to guarantee that either Valley Clean Energy or the city would receive any of the solar energy output at a fair price. The land lease is at a discounted rate
have to make uncomfortable decisions from time to time.” While I agree, there will be uncomfortable decisions, going solar is not one of them. Closing downtown Davis to non-commercial auto traffic to reduce CO2 — that’s an uncomfortable decision.
T
he proposed solar plant could be around for a long time, as long as half a century. That’s a long time to live with such a vastly uninformed decision. Lucas Frerichs voted against accepting the lease, Gloria Partida has since asked about rescinding the deal. I hope that Brett Lee, Will Arnold and Dan Carson can be convinced. The most recent city press release (April 15), indicates otherwise and expresses a love affair with the solar lease option. The press release is an attempt to greenwash the deal. I have 15 years of solar-development experience. I come to the same conclusion as many who have looked into the details of the solar lease option. It is likely the worst deal the city could have arranged. If you were hoping that the 235-acre former water pond would become a bird sanctuary, it is a non-starter. If you were hoping for a solar farm, you’re down as much as $120 million. If you were hoping that city leadership worked with Davis’ renewable energy and climate change expertise as a regular business practice, it is a woeful disappointment. Too many deals have not gone Davis’ way, and too many of those have been made behind closed doors. On Earth Day’s 50th anniversary, in an era of climate change action, we will need all of us — together. Please rescind this solar lease deal. — Scott Ragsdale is a Davis resident.
leaving the city with much less revenue than a typical lease of this sort would generate. This decision needs to be rescinded and if this land is suitable for such a project after other environmental factors have also been considered, the full process needs to be followed and other bids considered before a decision is made. Donna Lemongello Davis
Nukes and the virus Nuclear weapons and the SARS-CoV2, the coronavirus called COVID-19, are related. Scientists were “close to a coronavirus vaccine years ago, but the money dried up. Rather than spend its money on health care or science or medicine, America decided to spend $1 trillion on making more ... nuclear weapons.” (Commentary by Kary Love, Davis Enterprise, March 15.) This year, in our defense budget, America has decided to allocate billions of dollars to continue to produce and stockpile nuclear weapons. The majority of both Democrats and Republicans supported this budget decision. Testing for coronaviruses and safety equipment for our medical responders are items that will have to struggle for funding far into the future. There is an alternative to this dilemma. The United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons seeks to prohibit and delegitimize nuclear weapons based on their unacceptable consequences by, for example, targeting acquisition, possession, production, testing, stockpiling, transfer, deployment, threat of use or use of these weapons with the goal of eliminating them (see (https://www.icanw.org/the_treaty). The eventual elimination of nuclear weapons from our arsenal that this treaty encourages would be a large step towards funding programs, such as developing a coronavirus vaccine, that can serve our

COMMENTARY Payments could provide crucial economic support BY MARK REYNOLDS AND ELISABETH ROBBINS Special to The Enterprise
C
OVID-19 is a public health crisis, but as it has unfolded, it has rippled out into an economic crisis, too. The stock market has been volatile, businesses are closing their doors, and millions are staying home to limit the spread of the virus. In our community, we’ve seen stores and schools close, masks on those who venture out, and the UCD campus empty as classes go online. All of this means we in Davis and people across America are feeling unprecedented economic pain. To help, Congress passed an emergency relief package that will give direct payments of $1,200 to most adults and $500 to most children. Before they chose that particular path forward, members of the Republican-led Senate, the Democratic-controlled House, and the Trump administration all put forth ideas for direct cash payments, ranging from onetime payments or monthly payments of varying sizes. “We need cash in the hands of affected families,” said Republican Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR). “So many people in this country are worried about what happens when their mortgage, rent,car payments, bills are due,” Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Los Angeles, posted on Twitter. In the early stages of this discussion, there were no fewer than nine proposals for direct cash payments. We’re encouraged to see the broad agreement that during a crisis, it helps to put cash in people’s pockets and let them spend it how they see fit. When Congress turns its attention to climate change — another looming crisis — it should not forget this lesson: Direct cash payments are a simple, transparent, and fair way to support Americans when economic winds are shifting. Climate change demands that we stop emitting greenhouse gases, which are trapping excess heat in our atmosphere and upsetting our planet’s delicate balance. America needs to move from a
health instead of threatening our very existence. Our government — which, combined with Russia, possesses over 90 percent of the world’s nuclear weapons — presently opposes the TPNW. In the near future, our City Council will be considering a resolution supporting this treaty as well as no first use of nuclear weapons. Passing this resolution would be a positive step toward letting our federal elected officials know about the importance of supporting the TPNW, and redirecting the billions of dollars that now go to the production of nuclear weapons to causes that promote our health and wellbeing. Judy Reynolds Representing Davis Committee Against Nuclear Weapons
Trump’s response Trump is clearly over his head in addressing the coronavirus crisis, seeming from the beginning more concerned about his re-election than in addressing the public health issues. Thousands will die unnecessarily because of this. The irony is that if he had addressed the crisis directly and well, he would have boosted his chances of reelection. We cannot stand four more years of this incompetence in terms of many issues, including foreign policy and climate change. For those who share my concerns, I suggest googling Sister District CA-3 or Indivisible Yolo to get involved in activities designed to color the White House and Congress blue in November. Laurie Friedman Davis
BrightNight Solar City Councilman Lucas Frerichs was
fossil fuel-based economy to a clean energy economy. That will be a major change, but it should not be an acute crisis like we’re in now. By planning to give cash payments to Americans, we can ensure a healthy economy while making a gentle transition to a clean energy future. Here’s how. Congress could put a price on carbon pollution. That would drive our economy away from fossil fuels and toward clean energy sources. And it could rebate that money as an equal cash payment, or “dividend,” to all Americans each month. Cash payments put Americans in the driver’s seat because they are free to decide how to spend it: pay bills, buy groceries, save, invest in a more energy-efficient car, spend it at a local business, or anything else.
T
his is especially important for low- and middle-income Americans, who might otherwise struggle with cost increases as we shift to a clean energy economy. When dividends are given to everyone, low- and middle-income Americans benefit dramatically. Finally, cash dividends are transparent and easy to track, unlike tax offsets. That visibility helps people and our elected officials stay focused on the problem at hand: right now, the pandemic. Soon, climate change. The IRS has started depositing the one-time payments to U.S. households during this desperate time. Should more help be needed, especially for those in difficult circumstances, we hope cash payments will be extended through the duration of the crisis. It’s clear that money in the hands of Americans helps keep our economy running. That’s why Congress and the President are using this tool in the current crisis. When we’ve dealt with COVID-19, let’s use that same tool to combat climate change. — Mark Reynolds is the executive director of Citizens’ Climate Lobby. Elisabeth Robbins is a co-leader of the Yolo County chapter of Citizens’ Climate Lobby.
quite right to vote no on the BrightNight Solar project. As he noted, the project was presented as a sole-source bid, with no open solicitation for a lease that will cover up to 54 years. The city would receive $5,000 annually for up to five years as an option payment and then potentially receive $80,000 annually. This hastily decided deal was not vetted through the appropriate commissions nor by several energy experts who reside in our community. In his excellent op-ed piece in Sunday’s Enterprise, Lorenzo Kristov outlines how misguided the City Council was in voting for this project. At the same time, Lorenzo fleshes out a better path for the city. Our City Council should repeal its March 24 decision and begin a new process that starts with input from appropriate commissions and includes robust, transparent and collaborative public engagement. Given this project’s potential, our council should recognize the value of a public process in developing the best deal possible. This is, after all, a project that should benefit Davis for years to come. Elizabeth Lasensky Davis
Equal treatment President Trump has been spared from the consequences of catching COVID-19 by his entourage of caregivers and protectors. All of his contacts must be pre-tested to show negative results before being admitted. And his entourage has to stand 6 feet away from him. That is great practice! Now, how about each citizen of the U.S. be given that same right of testing all potential contacts and the 6 feet space! Promote equality, not divisiveness. Yin Yeh Davis

Housing advocate is Woman of the Year Special to The Enterprise Janet Ruggiero, who led a distinguished career as a community development director in Yolo and Sacramento counties before applying her skills in her retirement to helping the homeless and creating housing, has been named Woman of the Year for Yolo County by Sen. Bill Dodd. “I am deeply honored and humbled,” Janet Ruggiero said. “There are so many women more deserving of this award. The commitment to serve is a tradition for me handed down by my mother who always volunteered. So it is her example that has caused me to stay committed to help others, especially those in need. It was important to give back to the community because you have a responsibility to serve and to use your skills to benefit others and to encourage them to do the same.” “Janet’s dedication to bettering her community and helping those in need is exemplary,” Dodd said. “As both a professional and volunteer, she has made a remarkable contribution to Woodland. She has demonstrated great leadership and a deep compassion for others.”
Ruggiero was Woodland’s community development director from 1979 to 1998 RUGGIERO Honored by and held the state senator same post in Citrus Heights until her retirement in 2008. Along the way, she has been active in her community, serving as a board member of the nonprofit housing group, Friends of the Mission, as well as being a charter member of the League of Women Voters of Woodland, where she leads the group’s housing study. She is a past board member of the League of California Cities and has done extensive work on state legislation in the area of housing. In years past, she has provided professional training to planning commissions across the state. Ruggiero also devotes countless hours to her church, Woodland’s Holy Rosary Parish, where she is working to develop a new building. She is the director for board formation of the De La Salle Institute in Napa, providing training to school board members in eight states.
How nematodes can play hide-and-seek BY KATHY KEATLEY GARVEY Special to The Enterprise If you’ve ever played the childhood game of hideand-seek,” in which you try to conceal yourself from others, you know the outcome. “Ready or not, here I come!” eventually leads to “You’re it!” It’s somewhat like that when plant-parasitic nematodes (microscopic round worms) play “chemical hide and seek” with their plant host, says plant pathologist Shahid Masood Siddique, an assistant professor in the UC Davis department of entomology and nematology. “The success of plantparasitic nematodes depends on their ability to locate a suitable host in the soil,” says Siddique, corresponding author of the newly published Spotlight article, “Chemical Hide and Seek: Nematode’s Journey to Its Plant Host,” in the journal Molecular Plant. Nematodes can be deadly to plants, not only because of the direct damage they cause (they extract water and nutrients from their hosts such as wheat, soybeans, sugar beets, citrus, coconut, corn, peanuts, potato, rice, cotton and bananas), but the role of some species as virus vectors. “Plant-parasitic nematodes are among the most destructive agricultural pests, causing more than $100 billion in losses per year in the United States,” Siddique said, noting that nematodes are especially damaging to potato, soybean and wheat crops. Although the success of nematodes depends on their ability to locate a suitable host in the soil, what attracts them to their host “has largely remained unknown,” wrote the fourmember UC Davis team of Siddique, Natalie Hamada, Henok Zemene Yimer and Valerie Williams. “Recent studies have revealed that host-seeking by nematodes is a complex process that involves multiple stages in the interaction.” “Most damage is caused by a small group of rootinfecting sedentary endoparasitic nematodes including cyst nematodes and root-knot nematodes (RKNs),” the team of

Shahid Masood Siddique says the success of plant-parasitic nematodes depends on their ability to locate a suitable host in the soil. UC Davis researchers wrote in their abstract. “Second stage juveniles (J2s) of plant-parasitic nematodes hatch from eggs into the soil and localize to the roots of host plants. The success of these non-feeding J2s depends on their ability to locate and infect a suitable host.” For eight decades, scientists have researched the attraction of plant-parasitic nematodes to the host root, ever since the pioneering Maurice Blood Linford (1901-1960) of the University of Illinois, Urbana, observed in 1939 that the larvae of root-knot nematodes congregate in the cell elongation region behind the root cap. “Both volatile and soluble components in the rhizosphere have been shown to influence nematode movement,” the UC Davis researchers wrote. “Methyl salicylate, a volatile chemical root signal, has been demonstrated to be a strong root attractant for RKN towards several Solanaceous plants (nightshade family). The non-volatile tomato root exudate quercetin was shown to elicit concentration dependent attraction or repulsion effect against Meloidogyne incognita to host root. Three recent studies have revealed that the recognition of and response to hosts by infective juveniles is a complex process that involves multiple stages in the interaction.” Siddique focuses his research on basic as well as applied aspects of interaction between parasitic nematodes and their host plants.
