City, county look at virus’ financial fallout

Inside the outbreak The Luna Vista Rotary club sponsored this sign at St. John’s Retirement to mark appreciation for the staff’s effort in fighting the coronavirus.

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer The Davis City Council and the Yolo County Board of Supervisors will receive budget updates on Tuesday and those updates are likely to be sobering given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Both the city and county are likely to feel the pain of decreased tax revenue given the shelter in place that has shut down many businesses and left untold county residents out of work. The county, meanwhile, has also faced increased expenses dealing with the pandemic.

Back in January, county staff provided the Board of Supervisors with a preliminary assessment of the 202021 budget and planned to conduct budget workshops on March 9 and 10.

But that March 9 meeting became instead an emergency meeting on the COVID-19 pandemic and the budget workshop held March 10 was based on numbers and data collected prior to the shelter-in-place order issued on March 16.

Now with projected revenue losses,

Community rallies to provide care and support for Stollwood

BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer When a coronavirus outbreak hit the Stollwood Convalescent Hospital in early April, the skilled nursing facility faced urgent challenges. They needed to provide care for more than 30 residents with COVID-19, while dealing with the fact that 34 staff members had also tested positive and were quarantined at home.

“We needed help immediately,” said Dr. Jeffrey Yee, a Dignity Health physician who has led the medical response at

Stollwood, which is part of St. John’s Retirement Village in Woodland. “A significant number of patients needed to be isolated. Staff were becoming ill. It was a very tenuous situation,” Yee said.

As soon as he raised the alarm, Yolo County emergency medical services administrator Kristin Weivoda coordinated a rapid response, bringing in skilled medical personnel. “She had people showing up the next day,” said Yee, who praised the level of support provided by the county and state.

Weivoda called on the

Schools planning ‘virtual deaths, hospitalizations flatten graduation’ ceremonies

BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer The UC Davis Medical Center began testing individuals for COVID19 antibodies this week. The antibody tests — also known as serologic tests — are currently reserved for UC Davis Health employees. The Medical Center plans to expand testing to the broader community in the coming weeks.

“A positive test for antibodies suggests a person may have been infected by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus at some time in the past and possibly mounted an immune response to a COVID-19 infection,”

Confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus remained relatively flat in Yolo County over the past week, with only the city of West Sacramento seeing a double digit increase in the number of confirmed cases and no new deaths being reported countywide in almost a week. Hospitalizations have also remained flat.

Enterprise staff writer With classes cancelled for the remainder of the 2019-20 academic year, senior administrators in the Davis school district sent out several messages during the past week indicating that they are planning “virtual graduation” ceremonies in June.

Troy Allen, the Davis school district’s director of secondary education and leadership, sent a message to students and parents saying, “This pandemic

As of Saturday, the county had 171 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 16 deaths.

Briefly Winters drive-by victim ID’d, but not publicly Yolo County sheriff ’s officials say they’ve identified the man killed in last month’s drive-by shooting near Winters, but haven’t made that information public due to the ongoing investigation. “The detectives aren’t releasing it at this time because doing so could jeopardize the investigation,� sheriff ’s Lt. Matt Davis said Friday.

He declined to elaborate.

The victim died April 26 from his injuries in the shooting, which occurred at about 1:30 p.m. April 24 on County Road 89 north of Winters.

Sheriff ’s officials said the suspect fired from a small, dark-colored sedan at the victim, who was a passenger in another vehicle. The driver who accompanied the victim took him to Sutter Davis Hospital before his transfer to an area trauma center, where he succumbed to his wounds.

Detectives continue to seek the public’s help in finding and arresting the suspect, who was last seen traveling northbound on County Road 89. Anyone with information is urged to contact sheriff ’s dispatchers at 530-6668282 or leave an anonymous tip at 530668-5248.

Court: You have to sleep somewhere

A

s the city of Davis continues to struggle with the many issues surrounding homelessness, I sense a sincere effort from many people to deal with a problem that seemingly just won’t go away.

As such, I’m certain the Davis City Council and others will be looking closely at a Supreme Court decision announced several months ago that pretty much prevents cities from making laws against homeless people sleeping outdoors on public property.

Actually, it was a Supreme Court non-ruling we’re talking about, given that the court declined to hear a case previously decided by a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco, thus leaving that ruling intact.

According to Adam Liptak’s story in The New York Times, “The Supreme Court said that it would not hear a closely watched case on whether cities can make it a crime for homeless people to sleep outdoors.�

Wow. Imagine the difficulty of having to sleep outdoors for any one of a number of reasons and yet at the same time having to worry about getting arrested. “The case was brought by six people in Boise who said a pair of local laws violated the Eighth

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer A Board of Parole Hearings panel denied release this week to a former Bay Area man who is serving a 20-year state prison term for his role in a 2004 South Davis homicide, according to the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office.

It was the first parole hearing for Eric Steven Chase Jr., now 37, who remains incarcerated at California State Prison Solano in Vacaville.

The homicide occurred during the early morning hours of Nov. 18, 2004, when Chase and another man went to victim Dennis Edward Thrower’s residence at what was then known as the Tennis Club Apartments — now called the Clearwater Apartments — on Cowell Boulevard. “Neighbors heard voices and multiple gunshots, and the police were called.

When they arrived minutes later, Thrower was found dead in the open doorway of his apartment. The apartment had been ransacked, possibly from a burglary the previous night,� the DA’s Office said in a news release.

Detectives tracked down Chase at a hospital in his Oakland hometown, where he arrived with gunshot wounds to his hand and forearm he said were the result of a Sacramento street robbery but in fact were inflicted by the 35-year-old Thrower before he died of his own injuries. A blood trail leaving the crime scene was matched by DNA to Chase, leading to his arrest two months after the fatal shooting.

Initially charged with murder, Chase pleaded

Amendment’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment,� the story goes on, discussing the court’s unusual approach to the case. “One prohibited camping in streets, parks and other public property. The other prohibited ‘lodging or sleeping’ in any place, whether public or private, without the owner’s permission.�

It stands to reason that you can’t camp or sleep on private property without the owner’s OK, which leaves you with only one option — to camp or sleep on property owned by the people.

And, last time I checked, a homeless individual is as much an owner of public property as those of us who get to sleep indoors every night of the year.

Added The Times, “A threejudge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in San Francisco, ruled for the plaintiffs and struck down the

U

nfortunately, sleep is one of those bodily functions we can’t ignore for long before Mother Nature takes over and closes our eyes against our will. “Judge Martha Berzon, writing for the panel, said ‘the Eighth Amendment prohibits the state from punishing an involuntary act or condition if it is the unavoidable consequence of one’s status or being.�

A logical conclusion if you think about it for less than a minute.

Added the judge, “The government cannot criminalize indigent, homeless people for sleeping outdoors, on public property, on the false pretense that they had a choice in the matter.�

The city of Boise had petitioned the Supreme Court to review the case, City of Boise v. Martin, writing “The consequences of the Ninth Circuit’s erroneous decision have already been — and will

continue to be — far-reaching and catastrophic. The creation of a de facto constitutional right to live on sidewalks and in parks will cripple the ability of more than 1,600 municipalities in the Ninth Circuit to maintain the health and safety of their communities. Public encampments, now protected by the Constitution under the Ninth Circuit’s decision, have spawned crime and violence, incubated disease, and created environmental hazards that threaten the lives and well-being both of those living on the streets and the public at large.�

On the flip side, attorneys representing the homeless wrote “The decision recognizes that it would be cruel and unusual to criminally punish a homeless person who violates the law simply because he engages in the biologically compelled activities of sitting, lying or sleeping outside when he has no place else to go. That result reflects basic common sense.�

Unanswered, seemingly, is what to do with those individuals who insist on sleeping outdoors even when a city is offering suitable shelter indoors.

The problem persists and the debate rages on, the Ninth Circuit’s ruling notwithstanding. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

guilty to voluntary manslaughter, robbery and use of a firearm on March 13, 2008, receiving his 20-year prison term without ever identifying the second suspect who is believed to have fired the fatal shots at Thrower. No other arrests were made. “It was going to be difficult for the district attorney to prove any malice aforethought,� Chase’s public defender, John Jimenez, told The Davis Enterprise at the time of the plea deal.

He described the incident as “a sudden quarrel between the parties that resulted in gunfire being exchanged.�

Yolo County Supervising Deputy District Attorney Garrett Hamilton represented the DA’s Office at Wednesday’s parole hearing, which was conducted by videoconference due to the COVID-19 crisis. A three-commissioner panel heard the matter. “At the parole hearing, the commissioners stated that Chase would still pose a continued risk to public safety should he be released from prison,� the news release said. “The commissioners cited Chase’s continued patterns of crimes

and violations in prison, as well as his lack of genuine remorse for the killing of Dennis Thrower.�

Chase is again eligible for parole in 2023. “Our office is committed

to representing the interests of victims’ families and public safety at these parole hearings, and when it’s appropriate we argue against the release of inmates who are a danger

to the public,� District Attorney Jeff Reisig said. — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenter prise.net or 530-747-8048.

Downtown stimulus program reopens T

he Davis Downtown Gifting Stimulus Program will continue, thanks to a $25,000 donation by Greiner Heating, Air & Solar Energy.

The Davis Downtown Business Association made the announcement late Thursday.

DDBA Executive Director Brett Maresca said the exact time for the reopening will be announced soon.

Dozens of businesses are still part of the program if they didn’t hit their stimulus fund cap in the first round. Many more didn’t sign up in time, but are jumping at the chance. Each gift card purchased by community members will be matched, up to $1,000 per business, doubling the business’ income. Of course you can purchase gift cards or make donations to any business, but this program doubles your money.

With this additional matching stimulus money, up to $50,000 more will be infused into downtown by our community purchasing gift cards/certificates from their favorite businesses through the program’s web portal, https://davisdowntown.com/ stimulus-program. The first round pumped $130,000 into core-area businesses, which are obligatory members of the DDBA. “We are hoping another company is willing to step up and donate an additional $25,000 (or portion thereof ) prior to the end of this weekend, which would provide a total of $50,000 in matching stimulus funds for this second and final round,” Maresca said. “Once this round is complete, the DDBA has other responsibilities and initiatives that we need to be able to focus our limited resources on during the Roadmap to Recovery process, but we are absolutely thrilled we will be helping contribute toward the infusion of additional funds into our downtown businesses during this great time of need.”

Patty Greiner and her team said they were “pleased to provide an additional $25,000 in stimulus funding. … The funds received also go a long way to boosting the morale of shuttered businesses. We’re proud to serve this wonderful community!”

Maresca said the DDBA board also thanks the city of Davis, Tandem Properties, Bill & Nancy Roe, and the Chen Building for their financial contributions to this program. “An even bigger thanks goes out to our community and caring citizens who want to see all of our local businesses return!”

Two new businesses emerge, a few reopen As I shelter in place, I need my caffeine more than ever. So, it’s great news that Pachamama Coffee Cooperative was set to open on Saturday, May 2. It fills the former Subway sandwiches spot at 130 G St. “Initially, we’ll be operating at reduced hours (7-3) with to-go beans and drink service,” CEO and co-founder Thaleon Tremain said in an email. “Pachamama Coffee was formed in 2006 in Davis, so this is a homecoming for us. We’ll still be at the Davis Farmers Market every Saturday morning, as we have been for more than 10 years.”

One of its first bean customers was the Davis Food Co-op in 2006. The cooperative ran a Davis coffee bar inside Natsoulas Gallery, 521 First St., from late 2013 to early 2016, but lost its lease.

Pachamama was the first cafe in the United States “to be 100 percent owned by coffee farmers in Latin America and Africa,” it says. It also has two cafes in Sacramento: 3644 J St. and 919 20th St. “I believe we’ll be the only coffee shop in Davis dedicated to brewing 100% Certified Organic coffee,” he told me in January.

Pachamama’s addition means that once the quarantine is lifted, there should be eight coffeehouses in the 3-by-9-block of the downtown core. They include Temple, Philz, Mishka’s and Barista Brew, as well as the shuttered Starbucks, Peet’s and Cloudforest Café. These don’t count the cafes where coffee isn’t the main staple. The location close to the Amtrak station should be a good one.

Meanwhile, the Depot Building that houses Pachamama is listed for sale on Loopnet. The building, a block of Second and G Street, also houses the former Our House restaurant site, Village Bakery, Three Ladies Café, Third Street Jewelers, Razor’s Edge Barber Shop and others.

Tenants worry that if it sells, property taxes (and thus, rents) could rise, forcing store closures similar to what was seen when all of the Brinley properties sold along Second Street.

——— Another new addition to downtown is Koizora. It opened April 27 inside Kobe Mini Mart, 213 E St., Suite A. Kobe is a Japanese convenience store, and Koizora offers Japanese desserts and prepared foods.

Founded in 2016, Koizora had some pop-ups at Sudwerk Brewing Co. and sold its desserts at Yakitori Yuchan until 2018.

“During the shelter-in-place, we’re catering and dropping off pre-prepared food,” said Saki Sugiura, who owns Koizora with business partner Eric Duong.

Kobe Mini Mart has a full kitchen, but the partners are working to acquire permits to add a fully staffed food counter to offer drinks and hot food.

Before it opened inside Kobe, Sugiura said they were helping people during the pandemic with free deliveries, food donations to front-line workers, and donations of personal protective equipment.

Once quarantine orders lift, the eatery plans to promote Kobe’s basement space as an event rental that they can cater.

——— Jack’s Urban Eats at The Marketplace is reopening on Tuesday, May 5. The hours are slightly shorter, 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. each day. Partner Bobby Coyote reports.

And just in time for Cinco de Mayo, which falls on a Taco Tuesday this year, Dos Coyotes Border Cafés in North and South Davis are extending their hours. Bobby Coyote said starting Monday, May 4, hours will be 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. You can even order a bottled Margarita.

Both Jack’s and Dos Coyotes have online ordering. I encourage you to order directly with the business, either by phone or online, if possible. When you use a third-party delivery service like Door Dash, the restaurant loses about a quarter of the revenue.

——— Food trucks are popping up in unusual spots around town.

Buckhorn BBQ’s food truck was spotted on Lillard Drive in South Davis (near Montgomery Elementary School) on Monday.

“There was a line of about 10 people, all wearing masks and standing 6 feet apart,” former Enterprise editor Debbie Davis reports.

——— UC Davis will explore establishing new ways of working with international universities as it closes its Confucius Institute, the first to focus on Chinese food and beverage culture, according to an April 28 UC Davis News story.

“UC Davis is separating from

the Hanban division of China’s Ministry of Education — which has sponsored hundreds of institutes around the world — after the organization recently announced the institutes’ renewed focus on language instruction,” UC Davis’ Julia Ann Easley wrote. The closure is effective Aug. 15.

“The Confucius Institute has offered community-oriented programs, created opportunities for academic collaboration and fostered communication between China’s and California’s food and beverage industries,” the story said. “The institute has hosted workshops, lectures and other events on Chinese food, tea and wine, as well as Chinese art and culture. Among its most popular activities were cooking workshops, dim sum field trips, and the annual Innovative Cooking Competition and MidAutumn Festival celebration.”

Yolo County lands pair of convicted of evading police coronavirus testing sites

County Fair canceled Driver in high-speed chase

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer With each passing week, the novel coronavirus knocks off another longstanding local tradition, as was the case on Friday when it was announced that there will be no Yolo County Fair this summer.

No carnival rides, no musical performances and competitions, no livestock shows and no yummy food.

The largest and oldest free gate fair in California was supposed to take place in August at the county fairgrounds in Woodland. But for the first time in more than 70 years, the fair’s board of directors announced Friday they had made “the very difficult decision” to cancel the 2020 fair.

“This decision was not made lightly,” the announcement on social media read.

“The health and safety of our community is our top priority. This is a big disappointment to our fair staff, board of directors, vendors, volunteers, local organizations, concessionaires, exhibitors, carnival staff and the community but it is the right decision.”

The announcement noted that planning for the fair takes months and “due to the uncertainty of when restrictions for large public gatherings will be lifted, we are not able to make plans for the caliber of fair everyone expects.”

Special to The Enterprise A Yolo Superior Court judge sentenced a 27-year-old Sacramento man to three years’ probation and 328 days in county jail for his role in a November high-speed pursuit from Woodland to the Sacramento International Airport area.

Arnold Parker was convicted by a Yolo County jury on Feb. 25 of evading a police officer with reckless driving and resisting a peace officer. Judge David Rosenberg handed down his sentence on Friday.

On Nov. 20, 2019, officers from the Woodland Police Department were called to the Motel 6 in response to a gun found in the defendant’s room.

Officers learned that the defendant had recently been placed on felony probation and attempted to contact him.

Parker was located in the front of the motel with his car running. He refused to follow officers orders and fled in his vehicle, driving onto Main Street at a high rate of speed with motorcycle officers in pursuit.

Parker ran a stop light and merged onto southbound Interstate 5. There, he accelerated to over 100 miles per hour and passed numerous vehicles on both the right and left shoulders in an attempt to evade the officers. He continued southbound, crossing into Sacramento County where he continued his reckless driving.

Eventually, Parker exited I-5 at the airport and began driving through farm fields.

He then drove through a fence and abandoned his car on the side of the freeway, facing the wrong direction, and attempted to hide in blackberry bushes 100 yards away from the car. Once he was located, the defendant refused to come out of the bushes.

Parker was eventually apprehended by members of the Woodland Police Department, Yolo County Sheriff ’s Department, California Highway Patrol and other local law-enforcement agencies.

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Two Yolo County cities are among the 80 locations selected by the state for community coronavirus testing.

Testing will be available in Woodland from May 5-30 and in West Sacramento from June 2-20, Tuesday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. by appointment only.

To make an appointment, call 888-634-1123 or complete an online application at https:// lhi.care/covidtesting.

The address of the testing site will be provided upon completion of the application.

COVID-19 testing is open to anyone in the community, including agricultural workers, the homeless and the undocumented.

OptumServe will be able to test up to 135 people a day with test results available within 48 to 72 hours. This is not antibody testing; rather it is testing to see if an individual currently has COVID-19.

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced plans to add 80 community testing sites in

underserved areas last month.

To select the sites, the state’s Testing Task Force, in conjunction with OptumServe, looked at both rural and urban areas of California where people have to travel between 30 and 60 minutes to reach an existing testing site or hospital. Sites were selected based on underserved populations, known disparities and median income to ensure residents have access to testing regardless of socioeconomic status.

A total of 2,107 Yolo County residents have been tested for the novel coronavirus so far and 169 of those individuals tested positive, including five more on Friday. Thirty-two county residents have been hospitalized during the course of the pandemic and 16 people have died, 11 of them residents of the Stollwood Convalescent Hospital at St. John’s Retirement Village in Woodland.

OBITUARIES Bernice Helen Younglove Jan. 24, 1923 — April 28, 2020

Bernice Helen Younglove, 97, passed away peacefully on April 28, 2020. She was born in Sacramento on Jan. 24, 1923, to John and Rose (Babayco) Androvich.

She attended school in Sacramento, graduating from C.K. McClatchy High School in June 1940. In her youth, she won several Sac City School District roller skating speed contests.

Bernice was employed by the State Selective Service System for 5 years during World War II. She married Carl Younglove, the love of her life, on June 1, 1941, and celebrated 55 years of marriage before his death in July, 1996. She was active in the Sacramento Women’s Bowling Association for many years, and later in the El Macero Women’s Golf Association.

She was an avid gardener and spent many happy hours in her yard. Bernice worked for 16 years as an accounting clerk for the City of

Davis before retiring in 1986.

Then she began to travel, and especially enjoyed visiting her father’s birthplace in Montenegro and her husband’s relatives in Sweden.

Bernice was preceded in death by her father, mother and brothers, George, Louis, Jack and Albert Androvich. She will be missed by her children, Gary (Diane) of Sacramento, Dennis (Peggy) of El Macero and Carol (Pat Hull) of Hayward; granddaughters Lisa Younglove (Claudio Osses) of Seattle, Laura Marcoux (Mike) of Roseville and Katie Zylstra (Nick) of Sacramento; and great-grandchildren Gabriela and Tiago Osses, Marie and Clara Marcoux, and Koop, Grace and Mae Zylstra.

Eddie K. Kanenaga Jan. 7, 1931 — April 23, 2020

Husband, father and grandfather Eddie Kanji Kanenaga passed away on April 23, 2020, at the age of 89 from natural causes.

Eddie’s parents, Tetsuo and Kazuko, were grape and strawberry farmers in Florin. During World War II, the Kanenaga Family was interned with other families of Japanese heritage in detention camps in Jerome, Ark., and Gila, Ariz. They returned to the family farm in 1945.

Eddie graduated from Elk Grove Union High School in 1948. He then graduated from a pre-pharmacy program at Sacramento City College in 1950. Eddie worked at the California DMV until 1952 when he was drafted into the US Army and was trained as armored infantry at Camp Roberts, CA. Eddie was assigned to a US Army Engineers’ armored division in Kaiserslautern, Germany, during the Korean War. After his discharge, he graduated from Oregon State University as a pharmacist in 1957. Then Eddie practiced as a pharmacist for three years before graduating from UC Berkeley with a degree in economics in 1961.

He worked for Kaiser Pharmacy Operations and El Camino Hospital in the Bay Area until 1972. From 1972 until 1974, Eddie received and completed a U.S. Public Health traineeship at the University of Washington in Seattle. In 1974, he graduated with a Masters Degree in Public Health Administration.

Eddie then worked as a project manager for Golden Empire Health in Sacramento before starting in state service as a pharmaceutical consultant to the Medi-Cal drug program. In his government capacity, Eddie was able to save the state $37 million by limiting reimbursement to pharmacies that were dispensing generic instead of branded drugs to needy Medi-Cal outpatients. He also advocated for many years and was ultimately successful in having prenatal vitamins covered under the Medi-Cal benefits. In 2008, Eddie was recognized by the California State Board of Pharmacy for 50 years of licensed service.

In the Bay Area, Eddie met Etsuko

Akutagawa, a college librarian at UC Berkeley. In 1963, they were married at San Francisco Buddhist Church. After starting a family, Eddie and Ets moved to Fremont.

They moved to Davis in 1975 and enjoyed the close community spirit here for 45 years. Always in the stands or audience for his kids during their DHS experience, Eddie avidly followed Davis High events and sports for many years.

Go Blue Devils!

After many years at Medi-Cal, Eddie retired in 1994 from full-time employment and enjoyed golfing at Davis Muni and in Sacramento with other high-handicappers. He served as the golf tournament director for the California DHS for 15 years and for the prestigious Kanenaga Invitational Golf Tournament for seven years. In retirement, Eddie dispensed wisdom, collected recipes, enjoyed learning about anthropology, took Elder Hostel trips with Ets to Peru, Japan, Jamaica, the East Coast and desert Southwest, and made several family trips to Hawaii.

He could often be found enjoying a walk around the North Davis greenbelt. Eddie also served as president of the Florin Buddhist Church and volunteered annually at their teriyaki barbeque bazaar. He also enjoyed organizing the annual Anza Avenue Holiday Progressive Dinner for 18 years and numerous neighborhood 4th of July block parties.

Eddie’s biggest thrill was spending time with his four grandchildren Thomas, Kaia, Marcus and Audrey. They always made him laugh and filled his heart with joy. Eddie is survived by Etsuko his loving wife of 57 years; brother Jerry and family; son Dean and wife Deanne; daughter Jennifer; son Darren and wife Carla; his four grandchildren; and his extended family throughout the West Coast.

As a self-described planner, Eddie wrote most of this obituary years ago and left it for his family. An online funeral will be held for family with a memorial service scheduled when friends can safely gather.

Ann Davis

Sept. 24, 1951 — April 24, 2020 Longtime Davis resident Ann Davis, 68, passed away on April 24, 2020, in Woodland.

Ann was born in England to Harold and Florence Savage. At age 3, Ann immigrated to the United States with her family, spending her childhood years in Southern California and graduating from Oxnard High School in 1969. She continued her education at CSU Long Beach, where she earned her bachelor’s degree.

Ann taught for many years at Lee Junior High School before her retirement. She enjoyed entertaining friends and family, golf and reading, but nothing brought her more joy than spending time with her

four grandchildren, Layla, Winter, Mabel and Weston.

Ann is survived by her brother, Frank, and sister, Susan. Ann was preceded in death by her mother, father, and sister, Pam. She will also be missed and fondly remembered by her two sons, Matthew and Ryan and their spouses, Jennifer and Nikola.

A private family remembrance will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers or other offerings, with all four of Ann’s grandchildren currently enrolled in Davis schools, please consider honoring Ann’s memory with a donation to the Davis Schools Foundation.

Kristopher James Brockmeyer Sept. 23, 1987 — April 22, 2020

Kristopher James Brockmeyer passed away unexpectedly in his home in Vacaville on the evening of Apr 22, 2020, at the age of 32. The cause of death is undetermined at this time. Known to his family and closest friends as Kris, he was always a joy to be around. He had a big heart, infectious smile, barreling laugh, and charismatic eyebrows that could put a smile on everyone’s face.

Kris was born in Davis, CA and attended Pioneer Elementary and Holmes Jr. High, and graduated from Davis Senior High School in 2005. He achieved a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Sacramento State University in 2011.

Kris was a loyal employee of the Nugget Markets for 15 years, and achieved the position of Senior Loss-Prevention Officer.

Kris was promoted to acting Regional Supervisor for Nugget outlets in the Bay Area and Marin County. In addition, he worked part time as a Field Representative for his father’s irrigation consulting business in Placer and El Dorado Counties.

Kris is survived by his parents Jim and Terry; sister Joleen; nieces Brittany, Elizabeth and Vanessa; older brothers Matthew and Daniel; as well as extended family on the East Coast and in Northern and Southern California. Kris will be sorely missed by all of his family and friends and all who knew him.

Due to the current pandemic memorial services will be delayed until a later date, at which time there will be a celebration of life. Kris will be laid to rest in the Winters Cemetery.

Stella Gloria Dinger Jan. 25, 1933 — April 8, 2020

Stella Gloria Dinger, age 87, passed away on April 8, 2020 from complication of lung cancer at her home in Davis. She was born in Mt. Kisco, N.Y., to Julia and Joseph Raiti, the youngest of three children. At the age of 1, the family moved to Detroit Michigan where her father secured a metalworker position at the Ford Motor Plant in Dearborn.

Stella joined the Air Force, where she met then married William Eugene Dinger on Aug. 8, 1958. Bill had been a widower with a 7-year-old son, Steven Ray; Craig Alan was born the following year.

Bill’s military career resulted in a three-year tour in England. They were divorced after 23 years but remained friends and were both present at special family celebrations.

In 1974, Stella followed her brother Joseph and sister Anita to Southern California. She found a position with

Northrop Aircraft Division in Hawthorne. She retired with almost 20 years of service in 1995.

Stella stayed active in retirement volunteering for Yolo County Historical Museum, Hattie Weber Museum, Meals on Wheels and Kiwanis. She volunteered with the Yolo County Historical Museum for more than 20 years. She was an avid gardener with many home grown fruits and vegetables. She loved to share the harvest with family, friends and neighbors.

Stella is survived by her brother Joseph (Sandy); sons Craig (Perla) and Steven (Sue); granddaughters Ashley (Ray), Tanji (Michael), Rachel and Julia; and great-grandchildren Danial, Mackenzie and Mila.

There will not be a memorial service as the family will scatter her ashes later.

Things just aren’t the way they used to be.

Whatever happened to businesses that were eager to please? Well, there is one right here in our town.

We offer the same outstanding service offered decades ago.

Are we hopelessly out-of-style?

We certainly hope so.

Briefly Wrong home is not so sweet Billy Johnson, 29, is facing burglary charges after Davis police say they caught him occupying a house that didn’t belong to him.

The resident in the 700 block of Oeste Drive arrived home Wednesday to signs that someone had forced their way inside and was living there, Lt. Art Camacho said. Officers encountered Johnson, who according to Camacho was in possession of numerous items believed to be taken in other burglaries.

Already on parole for assault, Johnson was booked on new charges including burglary, vandalism and trespassing, Camacho said.

VIRUS: Local governments count cost of COVID From Page A1 the county is currently looking at a budget gap of $13.1 million, according to county staff, who have been discussing options for closing that gap, including program cuts.

Revenue estimates will be updated following the governor’s May budget revision and receipt of May and June tax revenues which will provide further information on the true impact of COVID-19 on the county’s finances.

“Staff would like to caution the board that if the economic conditions worsen, there will likely be deeper cuts to the programs during Adopted Budget phase,” Tuesday’s staff report notes.

Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting will also include an update

from county health officials on the coronavirus and the county’s response. The meeting begins at 9 a.m. and can be observed via livestream at https:// yolocounty.zoom.us/j/ 112072974, Meeting ID: 112 072 974; or by phone via 1-408-638-0968, Meeting ID: 112 072 974.

Tuesday evening, the Davis City Council receive its own budget update.

In the report prepared for that meeting, staff note that the impact of COVID19 has been unprecedented on the economy, from the national to the local level.

“Some of the very telling highlights include a statewide shelter-at-home order, new nationwide unemployment claims filed within a 6-week period reaching over 30 million, and travel spending dropping 78 percent,” the

CASES: Officials see encouraging trends From Page A1 Retirement Village, which had 66 cases as of Saturday and no new cases reported in almost a week. Eleven Stollwood residents have died.

The city of West Sacramento did see a jump in confirmed cases in recent days, a total of 11 since April 23, while Davis has reported only two new cases in the last week. The combined Winters/unincorporated areas of the county have 11 confirmed cases and none since April 20.

County officials say the shelter-in-place order in effect for six weeks now has successfully flattened the curve and slowed the spread of the virus, evident in the current numbers, including the low rate of hospitalizations.

Since the pandemic began, 32 county

residents have required hospitalization at some point, and most of those individuals — 25 — were over the age of 55.

However, the 25-34 age group actually has the most confirmed cases in the county (28), followed by the 55-64 age group with 26.

Deaths are highest among those over age 85 — seven of the 16 total. All of the Yolo County residents who have died of the novel coronavirus were over the age of 55.

Meanwhile, a total of three county residents under the age of 18 have tested positive for the virus but none have been hospitalized. Nine young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 have tested positive and one required hospitalization.

TESTING: Still working on implications From Page A1 UC Davis Health said Thursday in a press release.

“This information will help public health experts learn how widespread the novel coronavirus has been in the community.”

Not enough is known about the virus yet to determine whether the presence of antibodies proves a person’s immunity or their ability to transmit the virus to others.

The voluntary testing of UC Davis Health employees began Thursday “as part of a university study that will track antibody levels and monitor how these change over time,” according to the press release. The research team is led by Larissa May, professor of emergency medicine and principal investigator of the study, along with Stuart Cohen, Brad Pollock and Nam Tran.

“We have begun our testing with health care workers who are known to have been infected with COVID19 and those at highest risk based on their occupational exposures, such as emergency department, intensive care unit and respiratory therapy staff who typically administer or are present during highrisk procedures that cause aerosolization of the virus,” May said. “Testing is expected to expand to other health care workers and ultimately to the community in several weeks.”

UC Davis Health’s antibody test is fully automated. Clinical laboratory specialists can perform up to several hundred tests per day with results typically available in 24 hours.

“The testing method, called a chemiluminescence immunoassay, measures antibodies that target the structure enclosing the SARS-CoV-2 virus genetic material as well as a spike protein that enables the virus to bind to lung cells,”

SUNDAY, MAY 3, 2020 A5

the press release stated.

The test was developed by the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine’s Special Chemistry Section. It measures both IgM and IgG antibodies, which typically show up within 14 days after infection by the novel SARSCoV-2 coronavirus.

“Our test is very sensitive and specific — offering our patients a better solution than controversial rapid tests that have made it onto the market. These same rapid tests are now under increased scrutiny by the FDA,” said Nam Tran, associate professor of pathology and laboratory medicine and senior director of clinical pathology in charge of the COVID-19 testing at UC Davis Health.

According to Brad Pollock, associate dean and chair of the Department of Public Health Sciences at UC Davis Health, antibody

testing is a “step forward” in the effort to identify how widespread the virus is in the community.

“We are fairly certain now there are cases of COVID-19 among people in the community who have had few or no symptoms,” Pollock said. “Previous tests that detect the virus itself rather than antibodies for COVID-19 also produced false negatives. Our serologic testing enables us to begin to get real data to gauge the true number of people in our community who have been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus and to learn if some people who already have antibodies may be at reduced risk for the infection.”

staff report notes. “The gross domestic product declined 4.8 percent in the first quarter of 2020, and is expected to decrease 30-35 percent in the second quarter, when the full force of the economic shutdown will be reflected.”

On Tuesday the council will hear from consultant Bob Leland who has helped the city prepare a longrange General Fund fiscal forecast model. Leland will walk the council through an updated model that reflects impacts from the coronavirus pandemic.

The council will then be asked to provide direction to staff on options for balancing the General Fund for the upcoming budget and beyond.

Also on the City Council’s agenda Tuesday will be taking the first steps needed for renewal of Measure J/R

which is set to expire at the end of the year.

First passed as Measure J in 2000, the ordinance requires a citizens’ vote before land can be re-designated from agriculture or open space to any urban land use. The ordinance was renewed by voters in 2010 as Measure R. Since its initial adoption two decades ago, five development proposals have been subject to a Measure J vote. Voters turned down three projects — Covell Village in 2005; Wildhorse Ranch in 2009; and Nishi 1.0 in 2016 — and voted in favor of two in 2018 (Nishi 2.0 and the West Davis Active Adult Community).

On Tuesday, the City Council will direct staff on any changes they may want to see incorporated into the ordinance before it is brought back for a vote and

placed on the November ballot.

If a Measure J renewal is placed on the November ballot, it may be joined by a Measure J project up for consideration — the Aggie Research Campus.

Tuesday’s council meeting, which begins at 6:30 p.m., will be televised live on city of Davis Government Channel 16 (available to those who subscribe to cable television) and live streamed online at https:// cityofdavis.org/city-hall/ city-council/city-councilmeetings/meeting-videos.

SCHOOLS: Principals deal with (un)usual end-of-year issues From Page A1 bright future, in the ways that you safely can.”

Davis High School principal Tom McHale sent a message that said, “To ensure we can still celebrate the Class of 2020 Graduation, Davis Senior High School is hosting a virtual graduation. Specific details will follow and we welcome and encourage your ideas about our plans for a virtual ceremony.”

In the coming weeks, McHale said, the graduation committee will work out a plan to distribute caps, gowns and cords.

“We want you to wear them during our virtual graduation,” he said.

Students who picked up a Graduation Speech Application, and would like to speak at the virtual graduation, can record a speech and send it to the email it by Monday, May 4. Officials will pick two or three students to speak.

DHS will send information in the next few weeks about how students can clean out lockers and bring back textbooks.

Da Vinci Charter Academy principal Tyler Millsap stressed the following

points in his message to students: ■ “Graduation Caps and Gowns: We are ordering caps and gowns for all seniors and will provide details on how those will be delivered/picked up in the coming weeks.”

■ “Yard Signs: The fabulous and incredible DVCA Parent Boosters are planning to provide celebration signs for our graduates. There is no cost.”

■ Students will get a personalized list of the textbooks checked out to them either by mail home or by email.

■ Yearbooks will be delivered to DVCA on May 21. The school plans to include yearbook dissemination cap-and-gown pick up/drop off.

■ DA Vinci will begin mailing diplomas via registered mail beginning on Monday, June 15.

Rob Kinder, principal at Davis School for Independent Study, likewise expressed “great disappointment... that there will be no in-person graduation commencement ceremony for the Davis School for Independent Study Class of 2020.” But, he added “we are excited to still be able to honor the

graduates with a virtual commencement.”

“Due to the ongoing health situation and stayat-home orders, seniorspecific details will be forthcoming about caps and gowns, returning textbooks, and distribution of diplomas,” he said.

Cristina Buss, principal at King High, said, “Graduation will not be the same, but the good news is that a virtual celebration will still take place! And don’t worry — staff will still participate in their favorite public-speaking event of the year; every single graduate will be honored with an individual speech made by a staff member.

“Our virtual graduation event will include photos and senior quotes and we will make it available for everyone to enjoy as a keepsake. Each graduate will receive a cap and gown to keep, and we hope that you will use it for some of the photos you submit; information about pick-up will be coming next month.”

A6 THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

SUNDAY, MAY 3, 2020

Saying ‘I do’ when the world says ‘not now’ I ’m ready for a break from writing columns full of dread. I don’t need to bust out of my home yet — I can handle a longer quarantine — but I do need to fire up some good cheer and write from the part of me that has been here all along, but ceded first position to gloom.

Love stories cheer me up, so even in normal times, I have a habit of reading the “Vows” pages of the New York Times.

For those who are not familiar with Vows, the section appears on Sundays, offering photos and brief biographies of newlyweds and their parents.

In former days, Vows was all about pedigree, and a ridiculous number of the couples attended Harvard or Yale, as did their parents (who became physicians, attorneys and stockbrokers) and their grandparents. Most were Caucasian. All were straight.

In recent decades, Vows has become much more interesting.

The chosen couples still lean towards well-educated and wellheeled, but a good proportion come from black or brown communities and several, every week, are gay. On a typical Sunday, I read five entries.

But Sundays aren’t the same now and neither are the venerable pages of Vows.

I noticed the first change on

Sunday, March 22, when it was clear that the Times had imposed new language on all the couples. They were still getting married but their announcements read like this: The couple had originally planned to wed at the Meritage Resort and Spa in Napa, Calif., before the Centers for Disease Control recommended that events with 50 or more people should be postponed.

The couple originally planned to marry at the First Presbyterian Church in Nashville before the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that events with 50 or more be postponed.

The couple had originally planned to wed at the Champagne Powder Room, an events space at the top of the mountain, before the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that events with 50 or more be postponed.

Due to the much-mentioned CDC recommendation, many couples ended up marrying earlier than intended or at home.

———— A couple of weeks later, April 12, the Vows section ran with a new subtitle: “They Found a Way to Get Married.”

Couples faced new circumstances. Several skidded into county courthouses at the last minute before they shut down.

One couple married in the only place they could find a judge, the county jail.

A 25-year-old bride whose courthouse marriage took all of 45 seconds said, “Oh man, this was all unwinding with speeds we did not expect.” (She still reportedly managed to hire an in-home beauty service that did her make up at 6:30 a.m.)

Some newlyweds seemed so frantic that they contradicted themselves, like Sarah, 33, who said, “You find out what’s most important when you start removing things from your wedding day … Like the flowers and the other stuff, you don’t need that, you just need family.”

And then, six paragraphs later, “I could seriously say I was disappointed, but what can you do in that situation?”

A few brides mentioned still wanting photos of themselves in

their wedding gowns, but I don’t think such pictures will be nearly as amazing as, for example, the image of a couple who married with only a priest, organist and two others in New York’s Grace Episcopal Church, which seats 1,000.

———— On Sunday, April 19, Vows was just Vows again, no subtitle, and I noticed some amusement creeping in.

The most outlandish wedding took place in Florida on March 21. The event, held at Bearadise Ranch Bear Preserve featured a 300-pound live bear that served as ring bearer (ahem). The location was a perfect substitution, according to the 50-something couple, who originally planned to marry in Alaska for its bears.

———— Last Sunday, April 26, I decided to write about Vows, so I read the announcements with my column in mind. I made new small observations, followed by one big one.

I noticed, for example, that weddings have become very large. No announcement mentioned less than 150 originally intended guests. One mentioned 300.

I’d give the prize for “most determined to stick with the plan” to the couple who had

special demands around signing the marriage license. One of the dads wrote, “Josh had a fancy new Cross pen he wanted everyone to use, so we went through the routine again, wipe, use, wipe, hand to the next person, wipe, use and on and on. It was an ordeal.”

Here’s my bigger observation: Much as I like reading about happiness, I got a little bored.

Turns out that studying 43 wedding announcements, as I did in order to write this column, becomes tedious. Other people’s celebrations are fun to read about, especially when they involve last-minute innovation and furry ringbearers, but not if I read too many at once.

Happiness in person — my own and that of my friends and family — is what I really want.

Last week, I spoke with an out-of-state friend who said, “I’m happier right now than I’ve ever been in my life.” Longdivorced, 74 years old, she was saying those words to me right in the middle of a deadly pandemic.

I felt cheered beyond anything Vows can do for me. She wasn’t kidding. She wasn’t sarcastic.

She’s in love.

Showing resiliency amid the crisis

BY NATALIA BALTAZAR Special to The Enterprise

W

hen the national emergency was announced and shelter in place was put into effect the first thing Empower Yolo’s Executive Director, Lynnette Irlmeier emphasized was to let everyone know that “we are open and here to serve the community.”

From that point on, Empower Yolo has been moving forward amid the challenges of the pandemic to do everything we can to help our clients and the community. The agency as a whole — from our volunteers, staff, managers, executive director to our board of directors — has been working tirelessly to ensure Empower Yolo is able to serve the most vulnerable members of our community.

“I think the strength of Empower Yolo is our versatility and ability to respond to changing needs and to mobilize board, staff and volunteers quickly,” says Irlmeier. Empower Yolo continues to serve the community at a high rate through the COVID-19 pandemic with reduced staff by: sheltering survivors of abuse and their children; continuing programs and services; and providing emergency relief.

Sheltering Survivors of Abuse: Our domestic violence safe house has been full since the start of the pandemic. When clients exit new clients are immediately brought in. The shelter staff is working around the clock to make sure clients are safe and healthy by taking extra precautions since there’s more risk with communal living.

They created a station where

EMPOWER YOLO clients can use cleaning products, hand sanitizer, gloves and facemasks and everything else they need to keep their families healthy. They also keep clients informed with all the updates and changes from the county.

Since distance learning started many of us have become second teachers to our children who are learning from home through video conferencing. Imagine having to homeschool many children. The shelter staff is currently helping 10 children from elementary through high school with distance learning. It can be challenging at times because of the different grade levels, and each child has a different routine.

Shelter staff is doing a great job supporting clients and their children to help make all these changes less stressful for them.

Thanks to the local School District’s free meal program the shelter is able to provide the children breakfast and lunch, which is one less thing to worry about.

“Clients are feeling safe because they feel the support of the staff and agency,” says Sonia Jimenez Empower Yolo’s shelter director. “Some days clients feel overwhelmed because they are dealing with their own crisis, and now they have to think how to work around this pandemic.

Clients are also very thankful because they have a safe place and the connection with their advocates to help with life-saving resources,” says Jimenez.

Legal Services: Empower Yolo’s restraining order clinic is being utilized at an all-time high since the start of the pandemic

Everyone at Empower Yolo — from volunteers, staff, managers, executive director to the board of directors — has been working tirelessly to ensure Empower Yolo is able to serve the most vulnerable members of our community. because home is not safe when you are with an abusive partner.

The clinic saw a 100% increase in restraining order assistance in April from last year. In April 2019, 14 clients received restraining order assistance. In April 2020, 30 clients were assisted with restraining orders.

Our legal team is working diligently to ensure clients are able to get their protective orders even during shelter in place.

Courts are now hearing cases via video conferencing. Restraining order clinics are available throughout Yolo County. For a current list of clinic hours and locations please visit our website at empoweryolo.org/ restraining-order-clinic/.

Counseling Services: Our therapy department continues to support clients through phone and video conferencing.

A new online support group for

survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault focusing on self-care is now available.

To sign up for the support group, please contact the main office at 530-661-6336. Information on “Shelter-in-Place while Living in Abusive Homes” can be found on our website at empoweryolo.org/personalizedsafety-plan/.

Resource Centers: Empower Yolo participates in the Eat Well Yolo Distribution in Davis, Knights Landing and Yolo. Numbers have increased in Knights Landing and Yolo where we are serving 54 families and 162 individuals. Davis serves about 50 families including delivery to seniors. Empower Yolo is collaborating with the Yolo Food Bank to schedule appointments to deliver food to monolingual (Spanish and Mandarin) senior citizens in Davis

and Knights Landing.

The Knights Landing Family Resource Center serves as a distribution center for Food Bank volunteers. “The Yolo Food Bank has been amazing from the beginning; I doubt people realize the massive coordinated production they do every day to get food to the people who need it,” says Irlmeier. Empower Yolo is also collaborating with United Way California Capital Region to distribute monetary assistance to families affected by COVID19.

Volunteer Training: Our annual spring peer counselor training, a 72-hour program to onboard new volunteers, has been taking place in March and April via video conferencing.

We understand that the current pandemic has placed everyone under financial strain, but if and when you can donate either on the Big Day of Giving or in the weeks and months ahead, your donation will help us support the most at risk and marginalized members of our community. Any donation amount is helpful and greatly appreciated. You may give early or donate on May 7. Please visit our page at: https://www.big dayofgiving.org/empoweryolo.

“Even during these uncertain times, our mission of promoting safe, healthy and resilient communities remains strong and constant. Together, we will move through this challenging time by weaving together our efforts to help create a safety net for those most vulnerable in our community,” says Irlmeier.

Bear necessities: ‘Gilligan’ off again after sheltering on island

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer A wayward black bear that called Davis home for several days appears to have moved on, heading northeast of town after briefly sheltering in place on a West Davis Pond island.

“Gilligan,” as the bear’s been nicknamed due to its island-living status, was seen at about 8 a.m. Saturday in the area of County Roads 98 and 29 near Plainfield Station, according to a Davis city employee who’s been tracking its movements.

Although it was several miles away, “there’s still a chance it could circle back” and return to Davis, said John McNerney, the city’s wildlife resource specialist.

Sightings of the bear began early Wednesday, when residents spotted it wandering the streets of West Davis’ Aspen neighborhood. It found the pond area to be just right, hunkering down there during the day and venturing out at night — and posing a challenge to wildlife workers hoping to sedate and move it to a more appropriate habitat.

“It’s definitely a hazardous spot

McNerney doesn’t believe the bear poses a community threat.

It’s not a cub, so there’s no protective mother lurking nearby, and the fact that it took refuge on the island during the day “is an indication that he or she is uncomfortable when we’re out and about,” he said.

During the trapping efforts, the greenbelt area from West Covell Boulevard south to Isle Royale Lane will be closed from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. to lure the bear out, should it return.

“The less human activity in that area, the better,” McNerney said, adding that the city would want to relocate before the neighborhood’s next scheduled trash collection day Tuesday — a scenario that could be quite lucrative for the bear but messy for residents.

If Gilligan goes unseen in the next 36 hours, however, “we can feel pretty confident that it’s moved on,” he said.

OUTBREAK: Stollwood gets a hand to keep up services From Page A1

Daily rounds

American Medical Response, which is contracted to provide ambulance and emergency medical services for Yolo County, has also pitched in. According to AMR spokesperson Jason Sorrick, stayat-home orders have resulted in a decrease in 911 calls, enabling AMR to redirect staff to meet other needs. Some of the EMTs and paramedics who would normally be responding to emergency calls “have essentially become part of the staff at Stollwood,” Sorrick said.

AMR staff are helping administer medications, changing bed linens, spending time with the patients and meeting needs as they arise. With St. John’s groundskeeping staff having been deemed nonessential, AMR paramedics went to the facility on their own time last week to mow lawns and trim weeds, fulfilling a wish of some residents.

In conjunction with Yolo County, Dignity Health has sent infection control specialists to train staff at Stollwood and other senior-living facilities in the county. Dignity has also provided Stollwood with medical equipment such as rolling carts with machines to check patients’ vital signs. Nurse practitioners who are part of Yee’s team have made regular visits to the facility to test residents and staff for COVID-19 and to help manage patient care.

Woodland Memorial Hospital is delivering meals daily, as St. John’s closed its kitchen due to infection concerns. “They have compiled a spreadsheet of all of the residents’ dietary needs and created menus,” Weivoda said.

Meals have also been catered by local restaurants, including Father Paddy’s, Savory Cafe, Las Brasas and The Burger Saloon.

Every day, handwritten cards arrive from all over the country, solicited through a Facebook campaign. “It’s hard to adequately express our gratitude for the community’s generosity to St. John’s during this crisis,” Beloud said.

“The kind-heartedness of so many individuals and businesses has been a bright spot in our days.”

Every morning, a medical team from Dignity Health, led by Yee and Infectious Diseases specialist Dr. Sudershan Singh, meet with the nurses to discuss each patient’s condition and manage their care.

“Our daily rounds allow us to evaluate each patient as a team and to come up with the best treatment plan for each individual,” Yee said. Nurses are always on site, monitoring patients’ vitals and notifying the clinical team at Dignity of any worsening signs or symptoms. The clinicians from Dignity Health also make regular visits to see the patients in person.

While the residents are receiving round-the-clock medical attention, there is no specific treatment for COVID-19. Older adults, especially those with chronic conditions affecting their heart or lungs, are at high risk of dying from the disease. According to state health department data, more than 40 percent of the COVID-19 related deaths in California have been residents of nursing homes.

At Stollwood, the focus has been on compassionate care. “In this kind of situation, we’re talking about moment to moment,” Yee said. “What can we do right now to give comfort to these people?”

Many of the residents at Stollwood had previously discussed with their physicians whether, if faced with a serious illness, they would wish to be taken to a hospital versus being treated at Stollwood. Most decided they did not want the stress and discomfort of invasive medical procedures such as intubation and had documented their preference for comfort-focused care on a Physician Order for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) form.

“We decided with the patients and families what treatments would be desired, including the option of transfer to acute care at a hospital,” said Yee, who has cared for patients at Stollwood for years.

“Because there is no specific hospital treatment for COVID-19, and Stollwood is capable of providing the basic treatment — oxygen — most patients and families chose to stay at Stollwood.”

Aside from putting these patients on a ventilator, Yee said, there is little the hospital can do for them that cannot be done at the skilled nursing facility.

Mechanical ventilation is typically a last resort for COVID-19 patients. It’s an invasive procedure that involves inserting a tube through the mouth, down the throat and into the trachea. Before being intubated, patients are essentially put into a medically induced coma. The ventilator delivers oxygen to the lungs, for circulation to the heart, brain and kidneys, but it doesn’t cure the disease or fix the damage that COVID-19 has done to the lungs.

A recent study of COVID-19 patients in New York found that only about 10 percent of patients who were put on a ventilator survived. The odds were particularly bad for older patients. Just 3 percent of people aged 65 and older recovered.

“If it’s a painful endeavor to try to save a life and that endeavor isn’t successful, then you’ve failed in a number of ways,” Yee said.

“You’ve failed to save a life and you’ve created a lot of pain and suffering.”

According to data collected by Yolo County, a total of seven Stollwood residents have been treated at a hospital for COVID-19. The others have elected to be treated at Stollwood. It is “highly unlikely,” Yee said, that the mortality figures at Stollwood would be different if more patients chose to be transferred to a hospital. As of Saturday, 11 residents had died due to the outbreak.

A different set of skills Coming from emergency departments and intensive care units, the CAL-MAT nurses brought a tremendous level of technical skill, as well as adaptability, Yee said. At Stollwood, they have needed to adopt a different approach than in the ICU where patient care typically involves life support equipment and machines.

Much of the care has focused on providing emotional comfort.

Because of infection control protocol, residents have been isolated from friends and family. “It’s the

Thankk you.

some were needed back at their regular jobs. “They have a relationship with the patients and with the facility at this point,” Weivoda said. “They want to see this through.”

“I can tell you each one of the nurses has their moments when they’re in tears about the patients they’re caring for,” Yee said.

According to Beloud, some of the Stollwood staff who were quarantined at the start of the outbreak returned to work this week after being cleared by two negative test results.

Dressed in protective gear, the nurses at Stollwood are still helping look after their charges. team that’s come in that’s really been the emotional support for the patients,” Yee said. “It’s trying to figure out, with a person who’s completely dependent on you, what that person likes and enjoys.

What can I do for this person today?”

According to Yee and Weivoda, the nurses — who weren’t given permission from CAL-MAT to speak to the media — have taken on this role extraordinarily well, going above and beyond to care for their patients. “The nurses are treating the patients like their own family members,” Weivoda said.

Yee spoke of nurses making late night runs to the grocery store to get ice cream or other special requests for residents. Last week, some of the nurses organized a bingo party and made root beer floats. (While isolated from the rest of the St. John’s community, the Stollwood residents are able to gather amongst themselves.) On Thursday, St. John’s posted a video on its Facebook page of a CALMAT nurse playing an impromptu piano concert.

Most of the CAL-MAT nurses have extended their deployment past the initial two weeks, though

Like other nursing homes, Stollwood has restricted inperson visits since mid-March.

Using iPads donated by Dignity Health and Advanced Healthcare Solutions, Stollwood residents have used video chats to spend time with their loved ones and, in some cases, to say a final goodbye.

While isolation has been a heartbreaking aspect of the pandemic for many, health care workers at Stollwood have ensured every resident has someone by their side.

Yolo Hospice has provided a nurse on-site at Stollwood fulltime. Dignity Health has also sent nurses to Stollwood through its No One Dies Alone program. The nurses, who wear full PPE, sit with each patient in person. “I can say confidently that no one here has died alone,” Weivoda said.

Some of the Stollwood residents are doing well and are expected to recover.

Beloud said every bit of support from the community has mattered. “I’ve seen how much it means to the staff when a card comes in from a stranger or meals are donated or a sign calling us heroes is placed at the front gate.

Our staff take in all of these gestures and their spirits suddenly rise. Then, they stand a little taller, put on their PPE and provide the care, love and compassion that not many would be able to do.”

‘Project 11’ a worthy, hard watch

Like many other local businesses, Ken’s is offering curbside pick-up/ drop-off service.

n the absence of live professional sports, this country has turned to essentially the only new and compelling athletic content we have: ESPN’s “The Last Dance,” the story of the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls.

Don’t get me wrong, “The Last Dance” is just as amazing as the number of young people finding out just now that Michael Jordan isn’t necessarily a nice person.

But lost in the shuffle, buried Friday night at 7 p.m. on ESPN was another great look into the life of an pro athlete: E:60’s “Project 11.”

Whether it’s “The Two Escobars,” “Maradona” or “Hit it Hard,” what compels me about a documentary is how it explores human elements and how real it is.

Sugar-coating anything has never inspired me, and “Project 11” will have none of that. Because it can be stark, I can’t really recommend it to everyone.

The middle 20 minutes are the hardest bits of footage I’ve watched since “Gleason,” the story of former New Orlean Saint Steve Gleason’s battle with ALS. But while “Gleason” documents a man’s struggle with a brokendown body, “Project 11” shows the mental and physical healing of former San Francisco 49er quarterback Alex Smith. It’s the kind of story we can all use right now.

(Before you continue reading, let me issue a spoiler alert. Read on ...)

I knew Alex Smith broke his leg in nasty fashion nearly two years ago. I didn’t know that he also nearly lost his life.

The break was bad. They don’t show it in the documentary, but the grimace on the face of Washington running back Adrian Peterson — who stood over the fallen Smith after the injury — says it all.

Fixing to hit the road Local retailers react to cycling, running boom

BY OWEN YANCHER Enterprise staff writer For a city that’s supposed to be sheltering in place, Davis’ parks, greenbelts and streets have been bustling with residents these last few weeks.

As locals look to blow off steam, escape the confines of their homes or just kill time, large numbers have turned to biking, running and long walks — activities deemed safe by the state, as long as individuals practice proper social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

But once that rusted bike is pulled out of the shed, one realizes

it needs maintenance. Or once starting that cold-turkey jog, will that same pair of shoes you’ve been gardening in for the better part of the past decade suffice?

As for the shoes, it might not be such a wise choice, according to Fleet Feet Davis manager Amy Rihel, who says her Second Street downtown shop’s phone has been ringing off the hook as of late.

“People say it’s been years since they’ve been out running or doing extended walking,” Rihel says. “And now, all of a sudden, they’re breaking out the old tennis shoes and going for a run.

“And sometimes they’re finding their knee is giving them problems or they’re having issues with their back or hips.”

While the physical storefront is currently closed, Fleet Feet is waiving shipping fees on most online orders and still offering curbside pickups like so many other businesses in

Davis. And with a sensitive product like footwear being their specialty, they, too, use video chats to look at customers feet.

“There are a lot of factors that go into making sure you get the shoe that’s right for you,” Rihel explains.

“We’re helping people who just want walking shoes, working shoes, customers with joint pain, plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis, neuroma, bunions ... you name it.

“And that’s not to say we’re doctors or physical therapists, but these are all things we frequently address and have experience with.”

Then on the biking front, Ken Bradford, owner of Ken’s Bike and Ski off G Street, also has turned to curbside service. By appointment only, his shop is offering repair work for drop-offs, preorders and even test rides for new bicycles in the Davis Center parking lot.

COMMENTARY State budget will take very big hit Crisis makes A the case for ongoing research

BY LLEWELLYN KING Special to The Enterprise

T

here is something fabulously exciting about watching science riding to the rescue. The gloom about the coronavirus pandemic began to lift dramatically in the past several days as good news about vaccines came out.

Out front Oxford University, with a wellestablished history in vaccines, announced that it had started trials on people and that it might have a vaccine by September. It has a manufacturing partnership with AstraZeneca, a giant European pharmaceutical company, and hopes that a million doses can be produced by September, even as there is not absolute certainty that it will work. Sarah Gilbert, professor of vaccinology at Oxford’s Jenner Institute, says she is “80 percent” certain that it will.

Labs in all major countries are in close pursuit of Oxford. What does seem certain is that the time when a viable vaccine can be brought to market is shrinking. The next challenge will be to manufacture proven vaccines in the hundreds of millions of doses needed.

To me the big thing is not who finds a vaccine, but rather how science answers the call to arms when the challenge is there — and financial support is provided. Much critical research in many of the coronavirus vaccine efforts has been provided not by governments, but by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

There is reason to wonder why Gates has been out in front of many governments, including the United States. This points to government failure to adequately support research and to prepare non-military defenses. Not every threat a modern nation faces comes from national armed forces.

Across the spectrum of research, private money is raised to do the work that should be in the government’s purview. Money for science is a struggle: There are competing philosophies, political and scientific, about research. To begin with, all research is messy. The scientific method, as Michael Short of MIT reminded me recently, is based on try, fail, try again; test, prove, then proceed.

Conservatives have tended to be skeptical about a lot of science, pooh-poohing the study of obscure microbes and what they see as dubious investigation. They have consistently demanded quantifiable results from the government’s scientific establishment, looking for practical applications and unhappy about research for its own sake.

They have forgotten the real driver of all science: to know.

Liberals have favored, as you would expect, the social sciences over the hard ones. They are more prepared to treat social studies as science than high-energy physics.

What is lacking is something that we used to have in Congress: the Office of Technology Assessment, which was the scientific equivalent of the Congressional Budget Office. As with the often-quoted CBO, the OTA was a tool for members of Congress; a means for them to get complex scientific issues right and help them to understand the budgeting for those.

T

he OTA was created in 1972 and looked to be a firm part of the support system of Congress. But the Newt Gingrich-led House axed it in 1995. There have been several attempts to bring the OTA back in the House; last year a bill was introduced that would have re-established it at a modest $6 million, but no action was taken.

The OTA provided a valuable service in saving members of Congress from themselves; advising them when they come back from their constituencies believing hearsay as scientific fact — the same thing that has bedeviled President Trump in his briefings on the COVID-19 crisis.

As it is, we are all standing where we can see the scientific cavalry saddle up and ride out. This is heart-pumping, reassuring and confirms that science should not be neglected for budget or other reasons. To have a viable scientific infrastructure is to be defended from non-military attack, ranging from cybersecurity to a virus.

Scientists agree on this: There will be more.

bit of fiscal history is in order.

The Great Recession that hit California 13 years ago had a devastating effect on the state budget.

General fund revenues — principally personal income taxes paid by affluent Californians — dropped by about 20% and to maintain basic services, the Legislature and then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger ran up deficits and covered them with borrowed money.

They shifted money from special funds, such as highway construction and maintenance, to prop up the general fund portion of the budget, and they triggered temporary cuts in state aid to schools, among other tactics.

When Jerry Brown returned to the governorship in 2011 he confronted what he called a “wall of debt” more than $30 billion high. Eventually, all of the borrowed money was repaid.

This history frames what is about to happen to the state budget because of the COVID19 pandemic. Countless businesses have been shut down to battle the spread of the coronavirus, millions of jobs have been erased at least temporarily and countless billions of

dollars have been wiped from stock market accounts and other investments.

The $222.2 billion 2020-21 budget that Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed in January, containing substantial increases in spending on education, health care and social services, has now been set aside. Newsom’s staff is working on a revised version to for mid-May. “The economic disruption from the pandemic is expected to result in a recession and have significant negative effects on state revenues,” Newsom’s Department of Finance said in a preliminary overview in mid-April. “Concurrently, the drop in the stock market may cause further revenue declines.

“This impact is expected to be immediate, affecting fiscal year 2019-20, and will continue into fiscal year 2020-21 and additional years depending on the pace of recovery of

LETTERS Decline BrightNight Councilman Dan Carson and Mayor Brett Lee wrote in their April 26 Op-Ed, “based on some of the inaccurate information that has been going around … the community has questions.” My questions are not based on any information except their own words.

It’s good that the Council’s agreement with BrightNight is, they said, “not a done deal,” and it should be rescinded. They also said it was an “unsolicited offer.” How is that a good thing? Developers also make unsolicited offers, but at least they own or have control of the land they hope to develop. This “offer” was to use public land.

Mr. Lee and Mr. Carson wrote, “Our analysis determined that a bid process provided little certainty that a more attractive deal would be produced ...” Little certainty?

The land belongs to the city. It’s a public process. There should have been bidding.

They also wrote, “This land has not been used since 2017.” What’s the definition of “used?” I’ve been on bird watching expeditions there. Is that not “using” land? Isn’t open space land always being “used?”

Mr. Lee and Mr. Carson said they needed to act swiftly or BrightNight would have missed a deadline. By this no-bid action, every potential competitor, including wildlife, automatically missed that deadline.

I understand that the annual payment to the city for BrightNight’s use of city land would be $5,000 per year for five years, and then, maybe, $80,000 per year. Why

local, state and national economies.”

How bad will the “significant negative effects” be? A passage in the back pages of the budget says that a moderate recession would likely reduce general revenues by $25 billion a year. This recession isn’t moderate and could easily surpass the Great Recession in severity.

M

oreover, the state is now markedly more dependent on personal income taxes than it was during the Great Recession, especially levies on the highestincome Californians, whose incomes are the most volatile.

The Legislature’s budget analyst, Gabriel Petek, has told lawmakers, “The state now faces a budget problem, potentially a significant one” and estimated a near-term deficit as high as $35 billion, eventually reaching $85 billion.

A $35 billion drop would be 23% of the revenue previously estimated for the 2020-21 general fund and it might be a conservative figure, given the budget’s estimate of a $25 billion impact from a moderate recession. Even so, $35 billion is twice what the state has squirreled away in its emergency reserve accounts.

Support DSF I am writing this letter in support of the Davis Schools Foundation fundraising efforts. On May 7, 2020 the Davis Schools Foundation will be participating in the greater Sacramento community’s Big Day of Giving to support local nonprofits. In this time of great upheaval in our lives, the support of our schools is even more important than ever.

Though reluctant to acknowledge it, my husband and I are in the “senior” demographic in Davis. We raised our two children here and they attended the Davis public schools through the good and bad times of budgets. We strongly believe that the schools are one of things that make Davis the wonderful place it is and continues to attract new families. In the days to come, sources of funding like that which comes from the Davis Schools Foundation will be even more crucial to help support the well-being of our children.

If you are one of the fortunate ones who can donate, I ask that you support The Davis Schools Foundation now or on May 7 through the Big Day of Giving https:// www.bigdayofgiving.org/davisschoolsfoun dation or any time at www.davisschools foundation.org.

State officials estimate that fighting the pandemic will cost about $7 billion, most of which will likely be reimbursed by the federal government, albeit with borrowed money.

Nevertheless, the state would still see a heavy hit on nonpandemic spending — unless Congress and President Donald Trump give state and local governments substantial nostrings relief.

The revised budget that Newsom will propose this month, and the one the Legislature will enact by June 15, will be nothing more than preliminary guesses, since the fuller extent of the fiscal crisis won’t emerge until after the July 15 income tax filing deadline.

The budget will be revised more or less continuously thereafter as both the pandemic and the economy evolve.

It will be bad, but until it happens we won’t know the depth of the fiscal damage.

Be a hero for food banks The pandemic has hit us all, some much more than others. Many of our hard working neighbors, who are forced to live from paycheck to paycheck, now have no paycheck. If they have been “lucky” enough to have their rent postponed, in four months the rent payments will resume and the repayments will come due. With no job, through no fault of their own, money for such luxuries as food and children is beyond their reach. The wolf is at the door and the cupboard is bare. People are desperate, and you can do something about it.

If your neighbor is naked and lacks daily food, and you bless them saying, “Go in peace, keep warm, and eat your fill” and do not meet their bodily needs, what good have you done? You can make a life-ordeath difference in your neighbor’s life.

You can easily be a real hero. Make a donation to your local food bank, food closet, or food pantry, etc. now and for the next six months. Feed a person for a month or even six months, or a family of four or, if you can, if you have an income of seven digits, donate to feed 100 people. It really is as easy as writing a check and putting it in the mail. Reach out in love to your neighbor. Be a hero now!

John Prine, folk music and COVID-19

BY BILL FAIRFIELD Special to The Enterprise

W

hen the coronavirus recently took the beloved songwriter John Prine, many people searched online for his songs and videos. Some, hearing of him for the first time, left comments like “Just found John after 65 years, where the hell have I been ????”

What they saw was a balding, humble, 73-yearold man strumming his acoustic guitar, singing his songs about humanity. Or perhaps they saw a longhaired Prine in the ’70s, before cancer took part of his neck and added the gravel to his voice.

Whatever the year, what they heard was a quintessential singer-songwriter.

Though admittedly limited in his guitar proficiency, his picking style was influential and accessible, his simplicity underlying the deep meaning of his songs.

As Bob Dylan said, “Prine’s stuff is pure Proustain extentialism, Midwestern mindtrips to the nth degree; beautiful songs, nobody but Prine could write like that.”

With John’s passing, we were reminded of songwriting essentials … a universal song of human emotions, often created and played on an acoustic guitar, with heartfelt delivery. Like Dylan, John was not known as a great vocalist, but so-called “quality of voice” is not as

COMMENTARY important as the song, the lyrics, the meaning, the feel.

The coronavirus has drastically altered the musical landscape. Musicians are at home, playing songs on acoustic guitars, creating a new musical “world intimacy” by inviting people into their living rooms via social media live streaming, providing togetherness in these times of forced isolation.

We have gone from reacquainting ourselves with John Prine and his stripped-down style, to watching a plethora of aspiring singersongwriters playing solo or duo, acoustic in their homes. With “shelter-inplace” there are no large groups, no drums, no lights, no dancers. Just the song, the singer and a guitar or piano.

Some larger groups are making videos they pass around to add individual parts, making it seem live when it is compiled. But generally, is it acoustic, the bare essentials, as Prine would have done it.

Is the virus inadvertently creating a revival of folk music, now more often called “acoustic Americana” music? Perhaps it’s time for another shift in popular music, back to basics. The early Beatles brought back the original American rock ’n’ roll energy, late-’60s

COURTESY PHOTO

John Prine, the quintessential singer-songwriter, died on April 7 from coronavirus complications at the age of 73. electric psychedelia gave way to the early ’70s singer-songwriters James Taylor, Jackson Browne and Carole King.

By the late ’70s, the punks stripped it back down when rock had become over-inflated.

There is always the ebb and flow of mass popularity for various genres. All styles have their following and can always be found ... blues, country, folk, pop, rock, rap, world, etc. But,

the current socio-musical climate has provided a boost for the solo singersongwriter. Many young people, accustomed to pounding electric bass and the stage “show” are now seeing music making in its basic form, up close and personal.

The virus felled the tall redwood in the songwriting forest, but the young saplings have emerged, on your computer, carrying on Prine’s legacy of depth

with simplicity. Somewhere John is smiling, the virus did not win. It took a great one, but it has spawned thousands.

Review AB 5 to reignite California’s economy COMMENTARY

BY JOHN KABATECK Special to CalMatters

“B

ring Back Borello!” will never work as a rallying cry, but it might be a timely agenda item for California legislators to seriously consider when the coronavirus coast is clear for them to return to Sacramento.

In the meantime, the April 30 second anniversary of the state Supreme Court’s Dynamex decision and the Assembly Bill 5 it subsequently unleashed should be reviewed with all due dispatch if policymakers are sincerely committed to restarting the state’s economy.

As with anything, a few bad actors can ruin it for everyone. If I run a business and can classify all my employees as independent contractors, even though I treat them like employees by directing their work, I can save a bundle on state and federal taxes and on things like unemployment insurance and workers’ compensation premiums. The independent contractor is responsible for all that.

For nearly 30 years, California used the Borello test, named after the S.G. Borello & Sons, Inc. v. Department of Industrial Relations court case, for classifying employees and independent contractors — and it worked well. “Prior to Dynamex,” wrote Timothy T. Kim, a labor and employment attorney, “many cases (including the court’s own recent decisions) referred to the multi-factor Borello test as the traditional ‘common law’ classification analysis.”

So, what happened?

In the Dynamex Operations West, Inc. v. Superior Court of Los Angeles case, the state Supreme Court, noting the rise of independent contractors and the amount of people who work from home, decided not just to rule on a traditional employeeor-independent-contractor matter but also to create a new test out of whole cloth that would replace Borello.

Gone was Borello’s multifactor test and in its place rose the new ABC test, wonderfully simple in its clarity, wonderfully inapplicable to modern economic life.

In short, going forward from the court’s April 30, 2018, decision, independent contractors had to be truly independent in two main ways: they had to perform work at their own direction, not an employer’s, and the work had to be “outside the usual course of business” of the hiring entity.

The California Legislature could have overruled the court’s decision and changed the standard but, in the name of protecting what it saw as the workers’ rights elements of the ruling, decided instead to confect one of the great, bubbling public policy goulashes in the nation. The result was called AB 5.

You can be forgiven for thinking that physicians working in a hospital would be employees of that hospital, people providing health care working for an entity that provides health care, nice nestling that.

No sir, no ma’am. Physicians love their independence and were allowed by AB 5 to keep

The California Legislature decided to confect one of the great, bubbling public policy goulashes in the nation. their independent contractor status. So, too, were fishermen working for fishing companies.

In fact, AB 5 is riddled with exceptions to the spirit of Dynamex for those who knew the number of knocks on the door it would take and the right password to give to be let back into their previous work life.

About 50 occupations, from landscapers, to yoga instructors, to even midwives, remain forcibly detained in AB 5’s cell.

Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, author of AB 5, announced on April 17 that she will spring musicians, composers and songwriters, among others, when the Legislature returns. No such good news for those who play for symphonies or theme park bands. AB 5’s shackles are still around your ankles.

So, you see, this entire issue is not just about Uber, Lyft and Doordash drivers. It affects everyone who loves the independence of being their own boss, setting their own rates on the value of their work, and working when they want, and for whom they want. The gig economy is here to stay, and the coronavirus crisis has exponentially increased its importance.

“The bill would exempt specified occupations from the application of Dynamex, and would instead provide that these occupations are governed by Borello,”

so leads off the Legislative Counsel’s Digest in the actual bill, now law, itself.

So, Borello’s superior usefulness hasn’t left completely.

Right now, a great collective handwringing is going on about how to restart the state’s economy.

Exempting all business-tobusiness relationships from the Dynamex decision would be one of the best initial starts. And for those cases in need of determining an employee from an independent contractor — Bring Back Borello!

A ripple effect of smiles Dear Annie: I’m an older gent who has been doing weight training for years. I was walking down the beach one day, wearing my swimsuit, and a young lady approached on a bicycle from the opposite direction. She pointed toward me, and I turned to look at the water thinking the dolphins that had been swimming close to shore were back. She said, “No, you!”

Wow. I was blown away. That unsolicited compliment made me feel great the entire day. But it also rang a bell.

Since then, I’ve started the practice of making appreciative comments, even to strangers, when they’re deserved.

“That’s a really good color for you,” or “Good form on that bicep curl” — that sort of thing. The key is that the comment has to be legit. People know when they’re being patronized.

And guess what. It doesn’t cost a dime and makes both parties feel better.

— Doesn’t Cost a Dime Dear Doesn’t Cost a Dime: It is interesting that right before you had this beautiful realization of kindness, you saw dolphins. Dolphins structure their lives around a social group, called a “pod.” They are said to communicate with the others in their pod by making sounds such as clicks and squeaks.

You took this wave of kindness to heart and applied it to your life. It just goes to show that when we lead with kindness and see the good in others, others see the good in themselves and want to share it, and so on and so on.

What a beautiful realization and ripple effect. And, yes, the comments have to be genuine.

One of my favorite expressions is “One smile will get you two.” I hope your letter encourages people to be kinder to one another, themselves and the animals that inhabit this beautiful Earth.

——— Dear Annie: As the mother of three sons, I taught them that the thing that separates men from animals is the ability to write thank-you cards. I now have two grandchildren, and when they can write, I will expect to receive thank-you cards from them. If not, then the phone call I will make will be to my sons to remind them of what they were taught.

Writing in appreciation for what has been done for you is an additional gift to you, not the giver. Children are then taught to be thankful and not feel entitled.

Grandparents should recognize that we are doing our grandchildren a favor when we support them in doing what is right just because it is right.

— Indiana Mom and Grandmother Dear Indiana Mom and Grandmother: Congratulations on giving your sons, and now your grandchildren, the gift of gratitude. Showing appreciation does make both parties feel good. They can’t help but feel more joy. As author and philanthropist Lynne Twist shared with Oprah Winfrey, “What you appreciate appreciates” — one of my favorite quotes.

Mom-in-law with sticky fingers Dear Annie: Shortly after I met my mother-in-law, she sat me down, showed me her wallet and told me that she always kept a “hundred dollar bill” in the little outside pocket, as well as a blank check folded up inside one of the

credit card slots. She said she did this just in case she got mugged in big ‘ole Houston. She sounded like a smart lady, and I was tempted to do the same, but she was too keen every time we visited to see my wallet. She was grooming me so she could steal from me!

I began observing better hygiene with my bags and used a little lock on my purse, just when we visited her. The gloves came off very quickly when my mother-in-law couldn’t get into my bag for swag. She began tripping me and hitting me “accidentally.” My husband and I have much more to lose to identity theft now, so I had to quit visiting. — Suspicious Daughterin-Law Dear Daughter-in-Law: Your mother-in-law sounds like a con artist. You were smart to trust your instincts and lock your purse. Keeping a distance from her is wise; however, you should have a frank conversation with your husband about encouraging his mother to seek professional counseling for her stealing before she ends up in jail.

——— Dear Annie: You are often asked questions about telling a person the truth, changing the subject or pursuing other forms of avoidance. Here is what I try to do, as best as possible, following the “five levels of truth-telling.”

First, tell the truth to yourself about yourself. Second, tell the truth about yourself to another. Third, tell the truth about another to yourself. Fourth, tell the truth about another to the other. Fifth, tell the truth about everything to everybody. This way, you don’t deprive another of how they would choose to react if they knew all the facts. I just wanted to share this with your readers, for what this is worth.

— Tell the Truth Dear Tell the Truth: These are great suggestions. The best part is that this system of truth-telling has you always being honest with yourself first. Being aware of your strengths and shortcomings is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself and to the people around you, especially the ones you love.

——— Dear Annie: You printed a letter from a person who was worried about becoming 40. She was concerned about the way her life was going.

I didn’t have trouble with 40. My problem was with turning 30.

I had been married for five years and had two children.

I realized my marriage had been a mistake. I chose to stay because the children were small, and I felt it would be hard to find a job and child care. I decided to wait and see what would happen. The marriage lasted 16 years.

If I had it to do over again, I would not have married. At least not to this man. — Older and Wiser Dear Older and Wiser: I am sorry that your marriage didn’t work out. The blessing in all of this is the two children that you had as a result of your marriage. May you find happiness.

Best to leave it alone Dear Annie: I have a cousin who is married, and he and his wife are very close to my wife and me. We started spending time together, not because of my cousin and me but because our wives hit it off and developed a close friendship. We spend the holidays together, visit one another at least once a week and go out together.

My cousin has two young daughters, one with his wife and another with his ex (who cheated on him, by the way), and he brings them along with us to spend the day together. Lately, my wife and I have been noticing that my cousin’s wife has changed dramatically. She used to be more lively, talkative and happy, but now she seems distant and quiet, and sometimes she comes up with excuses to not go out with us. We think this change came about because we found out a couple of months ago (through my wife) that she is cheating on him.

She is employed at a correctional facility, and apparently, her lover is also employed there. We think that she suspects we know something about her infidelity, and that she might be trying to avoid us. My wife was able to obtain proof of this infidelity, and we don’t know how to proceed.

Should we confront her about this? As I said, we are close, and it hurts me to see that she is doing this to my cousin, who has already gone through a situation like this.

I see his wife going about her business with us and the rest of my family as if nothing has happened, and it makes me uncomfortable. She knows that her husband’s ex cheated on him, and she accepted his daughter as her own.

My cousin was deeply hurt after he found out about his ex’s cheating, and he has told us repeatedly that he will not tolerate another infidelity. He has tried to hurt himself on a couple of occasions. I am worried that if he finds out from someone else, he might try to hurt his wife or himself, or if he finds out that we knew about it all along and didn’t tell him anything, then he might get upset with us and not want anything to do with us. I don’t want this situation to escalate into something worse and know that I could have done something to stop it. What should I do?

— Cousin Clueless Dear Cousin Clueless: Sit this one out. Mind your own business. It is always hard to see people you love in trouble, but sometimes the best thing you can do is send them kind thoughts and hope that things will work out or they will reach out to you. If he does, you can be an empathetic friend and tell him how much you support and love him.

——— Dear Annie: When responding to Sleepless in Roanoke, you asked readers what other natural sleep aids work well.

My doctor recommended the herbal supplement valerian.

I have been using it for years to help me fall asleep when my mind is busy or my restless leg syndrome is working overtime. It works great. I have never had to try anything else. The capsule smells bad (she said that is how you know it’s fresh), but it doesn’t taste bad.

— Sleeping Well Dear Sleeping Well: Thank you for your suggestion. I hope it helps other people who have similar problems falling asleep, though I recommend everyone talk to their doctor before deciding what supplements will work best.

Adapting in the COVID-19 era UCD’s head team doctor invited to world-wide team

BY ERIC BANKSTON Special to The Enterprise The vast UC Davis medical expertise has long been called on to consult — and in some cases, solve — when it comes to world health concerns.

The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine has featured campus staffers and officials for programs in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Further reaching out to UCD, the AMSSM last week included UC Davis Athletics and Sports Medicine Program Director Dr. Jeremiah Ray to join a panel of world-class medical experts in a virtual conference aimed at getting a leg up on the coronavirus.

The national sports medicine group includes almost 3,000 sports-medicine physicians from around the globe — a group that includes NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB doctors.

For his contributions, Ray shared his work adapting and coping in the COVID-19 era.

As an emergency medicine board-certified physician (credentialed to work in UC Davis Medical Center’s emergency room), Ray spoke with his colleagues about the steps UC Davis Health has taken to mitigate the coronavirus’ impact.

“The Medical Center built an influenza-like illness pod that housed individuals who showed flu-like or COVID-like symptoms in that isolated zone. The success of this state’s shelter-in-place order prevented an explosion of cases,” Ray explains. “(We were) a perfect example of being proactive early.”

UC DAVIS ATHLETICS/COURTESY PHOTO

UC Davis head team physician and medical director Dr. Jeremiah Ray was invited to join a panel of world-class medical experts as part of a COVID-19 panel that presented during AMSSM’s virtual annual meeting earlier this past week.

But it is his position within Intercollegiate Athletics that is playing a key role in strengthening the health, safety and well-being for more than 700 Aggie studentathletes ...

“In my role with UC Davis Athletics, I turned the sports medicine clinic into an urgent care and telehealth clinic for our student-athletes. In recent weeks, we beefed up our mental health practices to help individuals who are stressed or feeling anxious,” Ray points out. “UC Davis has already been on track to develop a world class mental health practice, and I felt the timing was perfect (to offer those resources to studentathletes).”

If any UC Davis studentathletes want to speak to Ray, all they need to do is contact their respective athletic trainer to

REAM: A strong finish From Page B1 Smith then goes into surgery, with doctors adding enough screws to his leg that his X-ray look like a ladder crawling all the way up his tibia and fibula.

The surgery is a success and Smith is ready to go home just days after the break, but because of the complexity of it, all hell breaks loose.

What follows is those aforementioned 20 minutes.

His leg turns black, with quarter-sized blisters the color of tar. Doctors are forced to remove skin and tissue all the way down to the bone.

Amputation is an option in an effort to prevent the quarterback’s death.

The pivotal scene comes next, told through the very human Elizabeth Smith, Alex’s wife. It’s what makes the documentary so compelling.

She goes to the doctor and has a conversation with her.

“My husband is laying here and he’s dying,” she says. “Can we just cut it off ... I need to know that I’m going to leave this place with him.”

Elizabeth Smith asks the doctor what she would do if it were her leg. The doctor said she would amputate.

At no point does either Smith hold anything back —

everything comes from the heart.

Finally, 239 days after the injury, Alex Smith is able to take his brace off and the footage of him breaking down in tears is both incredibly sad and incredibly uplifting.

Before the pandemic, Smith incredibly found his way back to the field, thinking that returning to football was a real possibility.

But the way he ends the documentary says so much more about who he is as a person.

“I’m feeling pretty good about the rest of my life — regardless of what happens with football,” he explains.

I write all of this because the documentary is both hard to find (unless you have a Hulu account), and not something I think many people could handle watching.

If you can, though, you should.

I’m rooting for you, Alex Smith. My biggest fear in life is losing a limb and you faced that fear with a positive attitude and came out on top.

If every person had half as much drive, determination and compassion as you, the world would be a much better place.

schedule a telehealth meeting. If anyone has an urgent care need, he will open up the clinic, minimizing the need to risk increased contact with strangers that a trip to an emergency room might force.

“Whether someone is feeling overwhelmed, depressed, has an earache, sore throat or urgent situation, I am always available, as was the case before the pandemic,” promises Ray. Developing policies and procedures to create the safest possible environment, when students eventually return to campus, is another unique set of tasks that now comprise a portion of Ray’s weekly schedule.

“UC Davis Athletics is working with leaders at the NCAA, and other conferences, to determine the safest and best way to move

forward. If classes do take place on campus later this year, there will likely be some variation of fall sports as well. We are being very proactive to find the safest and best way for sports to occur,” says the Occidental College graduate.

While at Occidental, Ray was a team captain for the Tigers’ men’s soccer program. He also was a nationally-ranked snowboarder by the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association.

Ray went on to Stanford University School of Medicine (where he graduated with honors), performed his subsequent residency at the University of Utah and held fellowship positions at both schools before arriving to UC Davis in 2017.

While at Stanford, the doctor served as the team physician for

football, women’s soccer and wrestling programs while applying his expertise with the USGA, U.S. Snowboard Association, the Winter Dew Tour and among various college hockey and high school football teams.

In addition to his publications and published abstracts, Ray has conducted numerous lectures around the globe.

UC Davis Medical Center, since 2017, has participated in the first elective for college sports medicine. A full-time fellowship program will train physicians to become the next generation of cutting-edge sports medicine doctors.

Aided by the advent of a $52 million Student-Athlete Performance Center — under construction near UC Davis Health Stadium in the west campus region — Ray envisions a sports medicine institute, not just a sports doctor checking in, checking out and calling it a day.

Among Ray’s goals is to have undergraduate and graduate programs involved in sports medicine. He wants to see research, executing high-quality studies and publishing data. He wants people at UCLA, Stanford and UC Berkeley quoting literature derived from the sports medicine institute on how Davis is getting concussions asymptomatic in seven instead of 10 days, or how UC Davis is able to grade hamstring strains based on their ultra-sounding abilities, which will allow student-athletes to return to competition in a more timely manner.

The hope this week, however, is that whatever Ray contributed to the AMSSM conference helps turn the tide against the world-stopping coronavirus.

A note to the Oakland A’s N

obody asked me, but ...

■ The best NFL general managers and college scouts are the ones who find the greatest value in rounds 4-5-6 of the yearly NFL draft. Among those who excelled in this area are the now-retired Ron Wolf (Packers), Ernie Accorsi (Colts, Browns, Giants), Bobby Beathard (Chiefs, Chargers, Redskins) and Bill Polian (Bills, Panthers, Colts).

Need proof? Check those teams’ records when these men called the shots.

■ There is no greater NFL experience than a regular-season game at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis. ■ But if the college game is your preference, LSU and Alabama top the list for an in-person environment.

■ Methinks the best Oakland A’s uniforms ever are the 1974 home variety. Suggest Dave Kaval and A’s management look in the archives and switch to these whenever it’s possible.

■ When Tom Seaver won his 300th game 34 seasons ago, he did so in the uniform of the Chicago White Sox. Five future Hall of Famers played in the game at Yankee Stadium. In addition to Seaver, there were Rickey Henderson, Carlton Fisk, Dave Winfield and Harold Baines — along with four current or former managers Tony LaRussa and Billy Martin in the dugouts, Ozzie Guillen at shortstop for the Sox and Don Mattingly at first for the Yankees.

■ Speaking of Seaver, he used to throw three pitches — most of them for strikes — in the time it takes today’s hurlers to throw one.

■ Hall of Fame pitcher Don Sutton lost only one game as a prep pitcher at Gonzalez-Tate High (Pensacola, Fla.). Who was the Hall of Famer that beat him, asks Hall of Fame journalist Ivan Maisel? (Answer below. Hint: He was left-handed).

■ San Francisco offensive lineman Joe Staley, who retired last month, needs to be remembered for how the 14-year veteran always played the game the right way.

Staley somehow survived years of front-office chaos and mismanagement prior to the arrival of John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan. When it is safe to do so, let’s see a Joe Staley Day at Levi’s Stadium.

■ Anyone know when the next ballgame will be played in either Oracle Park or Oakland Coliseum?

Me neither, and it’s not a good feeling.

■ The recent ESPN marathon of old boxing matches — some 45 years old — drew an average of 700,000 households. The series

centered around Muhammad Ali’s career, from his early wins over Sonny Liston to his sad end-ofcareer bout against Trevor Berbick.

The Thomas Hearns-Marvin Hagler “greatest seven minutes in boxing” also is included.

■ Way back in spring of 2019, who would have thought the Alliance of American Football (AAF) would last seven weeks to just five for the XFL? ■ TV pet peeve: Ever notice on football telecasts, commentators often make reference to the “referees?” In point of fact, there are anywhere from four to eight officials working a particular game, from high school to the NFL. Just one is a referee.

■ Longtime Mets manager Bobby Valentine is now athletic director at Sacred Heart University in Connecticut (the same school that took an early swing at a QB named Jake Maier — and missed).

Of late, the effervescent Valentine has spent most of his time distributing masks to residents in and around his Stamford hometown. Of the current COVID-19 crisis, he notes, “To win at anything, you have to have trust and teamwork.” Sound advice in these difficult times.

■ Quiz answer: Football Hall of Famer Ken Stabler topped Sutton.

A tip o’ the cap to Maisel for the question.

RETAILERS: Cyclist, runners need to pace themselves in beginning From Page B1 “And we’re spacing those (appointments) all out by 15 minutes in an effort to not have people around at the same time,” he adds. “Because of all the safety procedures we’re taking — sanitizing every bike that comes in and goes out — everything takes a little longer.”

Bradford and Rihel both say their businesses have struggled over the past month-and-a-half — the abrupt end to California’s ski season leaving Ken’s with a surplus of unsold inventory for the slopes, not to mention the lost rental income.

“So for about six weeks

business was way below average,” says Bradford, whose family has operated the store since 1974.

However, he’s actually seen an uptick in sales over the last two weeks.

“People seem to be getting their stimulus payments and some are spending it on bikes.”

And while his shop, which has some 400 bikes in stock, has been well-prepared for the sudden wave of business, other smaller stores are seeing their shelves emptied like grocery store toiletpaper isles.

“The industry is in a boom,” Bradford adds. “But a lot of bicycles come from factories in Asia that have been shut down, so the

supply is short and the demand is high.”

Shoes aren’t exactly flying off the racks yet, and Rihel says to be cautious about taking on “too much, too soon, too fast.”

A certified personal trainer, Fleet Feet’s regional retail experience director recommends easing into any new exercise routines and allowing ample rest time for the body to recover.

But a high priority in hitting the road remains the proper shoe ...

“Shoes do wear out and it’s generally a lot faster than people think,” Rihel points out. “And it’s usually not the tread on the bottom or the color on the outside

like people sometimes think. It’s the insoles and the cushion support that goes.

“So it’s important to keep an eye on how long you’ve had them,” she adds, “especially, if you’re using them consistently.

Everyday shoes usually need to be replaced every six to 12 months.”

Notes: In addition to their shoe and insole sales, Fleet Feet’s local running groups are pressing on virtually, holding online 5k, 10k

and half marathon challenges during the month of May. A nationwide “Big Run” is planned for Global Running Day on June 3 with information at: runsignup.com/mybigrun.

Through a fundraiser, the shoe store is also selling “Running is NOT Cancelled” shirts, from which $5 of every purchase will be donated to local food banks. ...

Besides bikes, Ken’s carries clothing, locks, lights, pumps, tires, fenders and many other cycling accessories, most of which can be accessed at their website.
