Seating arrangement Expanding outdoors may be key for some downtown businesses BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Downtown Davis restaurants may be able to welcome customers inside as soon as next week, but many may not survive if they are unable to accommodate enough customers to make ends meet, business leaders said this week. Reopening will come with physical distancing requirements that will limit the number of individuals allowed inside businesses at any given time as well as the number of tables restaurants can make available for diners. “Even if we are given the green light to a certain degree,

the capacity level is a huge issue,” said Brett Maresca, executive director of the Davis Downtown Business Association. “It’s not going to matter if a restaurant is going to be able to open their doors to dine in if they can only have a third of their patrons on a Saturday or Friday night or a Saturday lunch,” Maresca said during a joint meeting Monday of city and business organization leaders. “They’re not going to be able to cut that as they have to ramp up staff, ramp up supplies and food … It’s a slow death that’s going to occur here if we’re not innovative and really open this

up for discussion.”

The innovation city and business leaders are now discussing is similar to what’s taking place in other locations; namely, opening some public space up for business use, including using sidewalks or closing streets and parking lots to

Yolo County planned to submit new documents to the state on Tuesday attesting to having met all of the public health benchmarks now required to reopen additional businesses, including indoor dining at restaurants and indoor shopping at retailers currently limited to curbside pickup and delivery. That new attestation would follow on the heels of one rejected by the state because the county had not met a key benchmark previously required: no deaths in the county within the last two weeks. However, the state changed its epidemiological benchmarks on Monday, focusing on recent hospitalizations rather than recent deaths, and on those counts Yolo County “passes with flying colors,” according to county public health director Brian Vaughn. Vaughn expressed confidence to the Board of Supervisors Tuesday morning that the state will approve

BY LAUREN KEENE When Elk Grove sisters Courtney and Kaitlyn Riley learned that a suspected arson fire damaged a roadside memorial for fallen Davis Police Officer Natalie Corona, they sprung into action. “We have this love and passion for law enforcement,” said Courtney, 22, whose uncle serves as an officer with the Woodland Police Department. After seeing an article about the vandalism on Facebook, “we got emotional about it, and we wanted to do what we could to lift the spirits of the people in the community.” Last weekend, Courtney and 17-year-old Kaitlyn spruced up the memorial at Fifth and C streets — where Corona was fatally shot on the night of Jan. 10, 2019 — with fresh flowers, working alongside several Davis police officers and members of the department’s peer support team. “They were talking to us about Natalie, the type of person that she was,” Courtney Riley said. “It was cool to hear all the stories about her.” It’s not the first time the Rileys have rallied in support of law enforcement. They’ve

On Monday, University of California President Janet Napolitano announced a systemwide freeze on salaries for nonunionized staff and nonstudent academic employees. Additionally, Napolitano and all 10 campus chancellors will take a 10 percent pay cut in the coming fiscal year. Napolitano earns a base pay of $570,000. The chancellors’ average base pay is roughly $500,000. The pay cuts and salary freezes are part of cost-saving efforts undertaken by the university in response to financial hardships caused by the coronavirus pandemic. In a letter addressed to the campus community, Napolitano said UC suffered $1.2 billion in unanticipated losses from mid-March through the end of April. “Like many other organizations, UC is facing significant financial impacts as a result of the pandemic,” Napolitano said. “This significant loss of revenue is having an enormous negative impact on our budgets.” Last week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a revised state budget for 2020-21, which included a 10-percent reduction in funding for UC worth $372 million. Newsom’s

Briefly In-N-Out nap leads to arrest Davis police arrested a man on drug- and weapon-related charges Saturday after he reportedly fell asleep in a restaurant drivethrough lane. Officers made contact with 32-year-old Brian Warner at about 6:45 p.m. Saturday at the InN-Out Burger restaurant on Olive Drive, where witnesses reported he had fallen asleep at the wheel while waiting for his order, Lt. Art Camacho said. “It was suspected that Warner was under the influence, and he was placed under arrest,” Camacho said. Officers also reported finding heroin and methamphetamine in a concealed waist belt, as well as a 12-gauge shotgun and shell in Warner’s car, both of which he was prohibited from possessing. Warner, a Davis resident, was booked into the Yolo County Jail on suspicion of DUI and illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition, Camacho said.

Woman robbed on South Davis bike path BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer A woman reported being robbed at gunpoint Sunday night by a man posing as a bicyclist in distress, according to Davis police. Lt. Art Camacho said the woman was using the Putah Creek bike path near Lillard Drive and Cowell Boulevard when she encountered a man “who appeared to be in need of assistance” at about 6:30 p.m. “He reportedly simulated a mechanical breakdown of his own bicycle,” Camacho said. When the woman stopped to help, “the suspect then pointed a handgun at the victim through the inside of his

hoodie pocket before demanding her property.” The woman reported that the man ordered her to drop her backpack and “take off now,” resulting in the loss of her wallet and cell phone. No injuries were reported. Officers searched the area and found the emptied backpack but no sign of the suspect, described as a male of unknown age or race, 5-foot-8 and 130 pounds, last seen wearing a plain black hooded sweatshirt, gray joggertype pants and a protective mask on his face. Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact the Davis Police Department at 530-747-5400.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 2020 A3

Lessons learned can be easily forgotten A

s a country, we periodically experience shocks, sometimes big ones that change our national psyche. The Great Depression, World War II, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Great Recession, the attack on 9/11 come to mind as examples. In each case, our country was different after the crisis than before it. Each crisis changes the way we think about the world in fundamental ways. Each crisis had lessons for the future, some forgotten. A question hovering over our recent crisis with COVID-19 is what change, or changes, will follow. One prediction, rather dystopian, is that nationalism will grow and inequality will increase as the economic toll and fear take center stage. A more hopeful view envisions the response to this disaster as renewing respect for science and focusing on lessons learned as we turn our attention to the climate crisis. That may be too simply stated, too black-or-white, but there are already signs of conflict between these two possible roads to the future. Focusing on the more hopeful alternative, there will need to be some major adjustments to what we now consider business as usual — for example, how our taxes are spent by the

federal government. The current description of the pandemic is replete with words of battle, including that we are in a “fight” against an “invisible enemy” with a national leader who refers to himself as a “wartime president.” The federal budget annually allocates $700 billion to the military as defense against our enemies. This includes paying as much as $100 million for a single fighter jet with a total cost for a fleet of jets of over a trillion dollars. We spend more on our military than the next 10 countries combined and the $700 billion is 100 times more than was allocated to the Center for Disease Control for 2020, and more than 270 times more than was allocated to energy efficiency and alternative energy. Perhaps one lesson learned from the COVID-19 experience will be that our “national defense” will now be understood as including issues other than

military, such as preventing and responding to pandemics, with a corresponding increase in funding. And, also to the point, taking the science of the climate crisis as seriously as it deserves and prioritizing funding for energy efficiency, renewables, adaptation and resilience. This shift in mindset and priorities among both people and politicians would require a 180-degree about-face for many, not only accepting the warnings of the scientists but also the urgency of responding. It’s a lot to hope for.

T

here’s another lesson from the pandemic that could be important should the climate crisis be ignored to the point that it crosses various tipping points and, like the pandemic, produces an economic crisis requiring much greater resources to respond to it than would have been required to prepare for it. A recent article in the New York Times, “The Buybacks That Ate Restaurants’ Cash Up,” highlighted the intense pressure many businesses feel from stockholders for their stock prices to constantly go higher. This can be on merit, but it can also be pushed upwards by increasing dividends and stock buybacks,

both of which deplete the cash reserves of the business. In the case of the pandemic, the article points out that many of the businesses, in this case restaurant chains, claimed they needed billions of dollars to avoid layoffs, notwithstanding that they had very recently spent large amounts of money buying back their stock. In other words, they needed taxpayer dollars to bail them out because they were not focused on maintaining a prudent reserve. Risk was not a primary concern or principal ingredient in standard operating procedures. According to the article, in addition to restaurants, many in the airline industry also used dividends and stock buybacks to bolster their stock price, American Airlines’ $13 billion and Boeing’s $53 billion as examples, and both are in line for major bailouts due to their being considered “crucial to national security.” Call me old-fashioned, but it seems there should be some common practice, or if not practice, then a requirement, for businesses, if they expect a bailout, to have some level of reserve that would make them better prepared and provide a buffer against unforeseen shocks to the economy. It would seem like

common sense that investors and insurance companies would see a long-term upside to such a practice. We have had enough shocks and disasters that even the shortest memory can bring a few to mind. Blending some long-term thinking (saving) into short-term goals (risk) seems to be one of the lessons from the pandemic. Taken together, redefining what is in our national interest and simultaneously investing in energy efficiency and renewables in addition to military spending, coupled to everyone, government, business, and individuals, routinely factoring in an awareness of the inevitability of shocks such as pandemics, would help us prepare for and potentially reduce the adverse consequences of the climate crisis. Some lessons learned from past crises shaped how we as a nation looked at the future and helped avoid repeated disasters. Hopefully, this pandemic will help us by providing a unified national vision of the need to prepare to confront the climate crisis. — John Mott-Smith is a resident of Davis.

SALARIES: UC system looking at 5-percent reduction in latest budget From Page A1 initial budget — made in January, before the pandemic — had proposed a 5-percent increase in funding for UC. The university’s 2019-20 budget is roughly 40 billion, according to the UC Board of Regents. Many of the university’s revenue streams, which come from a variety of sources, are restricted to specific purposes. According to Napolitano’s letter, UC is developing budget scenarios for different locations in anticipation of further cuts. “Each UC

City cancels more rec programs BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer There will be no babysitter training this summer; no “Kids in the Kitchen” and no gymnastics camps, classes or events. All are among the casualties of the COVID-19 pandemic which has prompted the city of Davis to cancel a wide array of summer recreation programs due to the city’s inability to meet all of the health and safety requirements currently required under state and county health orders. Also on the list of programs canceled for summer 2020: ■ The Fourth of July softball tournament ■ Adaptive recreation — bowling, events, game nights and trips ■ Band and Strings ■ Hackington’s classes ■ PM Kids Camp ■ Recreation leader in training ■ Teen camp ■ Trekkers All sessions of all of those offerings have been canceled. For remaining camps and programs the city was planning to offer this summer, decisions are still being made about potential modifications that could allow them to proceed. “Information will be placed on the city’s website and participating families will be contacted with enrollment/ cancellation options as soon as details are finalized,” the city announced Monday.

location faces unique circumstances which will require different budgetary strategies and actions, so cuts will not necessarily be uniform across the system,” she said. The university is also looking at eliminating non-essential travel and renegotiating service agreements to reduce expenses. UC Davis had begun planning budgetary adjustments before the extent of the coronavirus disruption was evident. In early March, UC Davis Provost Ralph J. Hexter published a new budget framework and announced the need to reduce the

campus’ reliance on state funds and tuition by $80-100 million over the next five years. In an April 16 letter, Hexter asked administrators to look for cost saving opportunities as the campus continues to monitor the pandemic’s financial impact. “Over the coming months we will track and model the impact of COVID-19 across the range of our operations, including enrollment, patient care costs and revenue, extramural research activity, and operating costs for providing remote instruction,” Hexter stated.

On Monday, Napolitano added that the UC Office of the President is in communication with union leaders “to be sure they understand the current reality of our financial circumstances.” “We are a strong organization and will work over time to address our losses and recover,” she said. “The present realities and ongoing uncertainties, however, require us to take actions in order to adjust to current circumstances.” Anticipating potential pay cuts and layoffs, UC workers’ unions have pushed back against expected austerity

Davis Police Chief Darren Pytel said his agency was “disheartened” by the incident, which occurred during National Peace Officer Memorial Week and on the same night as a virtual vigil honoring Corona and other fallen officers. “There are literally no words that

adequately describe the type of person who would do that,” Pytel said. “We can, however, find words to describe Courtney and Kaitlyn, the two remarkable young ladies that fixed the damage. Kind, compassionate and thoughtful come to mind. “I can’t tell you how much we appreciate their help and the reminder that people do care about Natalie and the members of the Davis Police Department. I want to sincerely thank the two of them,” Pytel added.

OBITUARY William Liebhardt Feb. 16, 1936 — May 5, 2020

Bill Liebhardt lived a full life. Everyone who knew him has “Bill stories” to prove it. Yes, “Lieb” is German for love but the “hardt” part is just that, strong and deep. Dwight and Eleanor were caring parents and his role as the eldest of four suited him. Childhood in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin — swimming, fishing, exploring field and forest in summer; ice skating, skiing and building your own iceboat in winter — was always in the company of good pals. But his dad owned a local tavern and Bill missed time with him. When Bill was 16, his father bought a rundown farm in Troy Center and life really got interesting. His dad had already suffered several heart attacks and lacked farm experience, so Bill began vocational ag that year in Elkhorn High School. He became the resident farm adviser, only a few pages ahead (or behind) the current crisis. Trial and error and hard work brought them together and forged a career path that proceeded to a Ph.D. in soils from the University of Wisconsin. In the meantime, Bill’s mom had introduced him to an East Troy girl, Kathleen (Kitty) Byrnes, whom he married in 1961. They had four sons in short order and went from Madison to Honduras, to Atlanta, then to the University of Delaware. In 1981 he left a tenured position at Delaware to follow his interest in low-input agriculture at the Rodale Research Center in Kutztown, Penn. He came to Davis in 1987 as director for the new statewide sustainable agriculture

research and education program (SAREP), a first at a land-grant university, which continues to this day. After 11 years as SAREP director and then retired from the UC system, Bill returned for a year as director for the Rodale Institute in 2002. In 2010, he became the interim director at Michael Fields Agricultural Institute, only miles from his folks’ original farm in Wisconsin. But life is more than a resume. Bill enjoyed his sons’ music, even when he could hear. He played sports with them into retirement and never let them win unless they could beat him “fair and square” — which in time, they did. He and Kitty shared adventures, challenges and common interests, though not always the same opinion. Bill was honest and outspoken, sometimes to his detriment. He was a faithful friend and a caring boss. He loved his offspring: Karl in Davis; Derek and daughter Geneva in Vermont; Marty with wife Julia and daughters Amanda and Audrey in Pennsylvania; and Steven with wife Annette and daughter Adelaide and son Gibson in Oregon. His siblings survive him: Tom in Wisconsin, Janet with husband Bob Heflin in Pennsylvania and Dave in Montana. Bill died at 84 at home in Davis from complications of Q Fever. (Google it.) His deep concern for his family, his country and the Earth never left him. Share your Bill stories at https://www.mykeeper.com/ profile/WilliamLiebhardt.

measures. On Tuesday, AFSCME Local 3299, UC’s largest employee union, gave a virtual presentation on UC’s finances, presenting a different picture of the university’s capacity to weather pandemic-related losses. “Based on its cash reserves, working capital and endowment pools, strong credit, and through potential administrative savings, UC does not need to be bound to a strategy of austerity,” said AFSCME Local 3299 research director Claudia Preparata. The union’s findings were based on an analysis of 12 years’ worth of

data from UC’s financial reports. UC has roughly $31 billion in endowment assets and working capital pools, which, according to the union, could help it navigate the pandemic with minimal cuts and layoffs. Preparata pointed out that as California’s third largest employer, UC’s decisions will play an outsize role in the state’s response as a whole. “UC is in good financial standing to lead the state’s economic recovery,” she said. — Reach Caleb Hampton at champton@davisenter prise.net.

His research ranged from grapevine ecophysiology and carbon sequestration in agricultural soils to the use of remote sensing and

GIS for water management in orchards, disciplines he also taught at undergraduate and graduate level. He enjoyed outdoor activities that he shared with his friends: running and biking in Davis, skiing in the Sierras, Utah, the Alps and the Pyrenees; hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in California and the Salkantay in Peru; climbing the Andes in Ecuador and Peru; rafting the Colorado River and traveling to many different countries. A celebration of Dave’s life will be held at a later date.

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.

Bad drivers, let me steer you straight

Study offers S cross-industry innovation BY LLEWELLYN KING Special to The Enterprise

A

study envisioning how societies might address the complexities of the COVID-19 pandemic, undertaken by more than 70 leaders in innovation from around the world, is out. It is the largest, non-governmental study on the virus, and it paints a picture of a world recalibrated by it with a heavy dependence on data in making people safer. The study, “Never Normal: A Call to Action to Address the New Realities Posed by COVID-19,” is a clear-eyed look at the global future from the social pressure of prolonged separation — especially for young people — to stress in the food chain. The authorship is largely scientific and has been drawn from those who are charged with innovation in their work. These authors, who plan to refine their suggestions and continue their work indefinitely, are banded together as the CrossIndustry Study Group. The group, whose members come from 12 countries (from the United States to Chile to Spain), owes its existence to one man: Omar Hatamleh, a scientist with NASA in Houston. Hatamleh has been a chief innovation officer at the space agency. For the last four years, he has organized a conference on cross-industry innovation. These conferences were dynamically different than most industry conferences: They did not discuss money or policy. Instead they concentrated on innovation in everything, from the future of buildings to how science is contributing to the creation of new video games, and how innovation is applied at the tech giants like Google and Facebook. The group met in a three-week period during which they developed thousands of suggestions and explored as many ideas. Gradually, they reduced these to two pertinent sections: one that delineates the challenges and the other that identifies the scientific way forward, with an emphasis on data and transparency. “Never Normal” predicts a W-shaped future where there are waves of COVID-19, reflecting governments’ policies and social reaction. It also says the structures for resolution need to be created by governments and shared between them, so that freedom of movement can be restored, and governments do not poach technology and supplies from each other. he study says the best hope for a proven vaccine is 12 to 24 months. It sees a great diminution in recreation — theaters and sports — as we know it. It predicts a digital future with intense social surveillance. It offers no panaceas, no silver bullets. The study is emphatic about sanitation and looks at everything from new airfiltration technology for buildings to monitoring sewage to assess patterns of infection. The sewage does not need to have active virus particles to tell its tale, to show patterns, and to identify trends in infection. The study sees a future where tracking is vital, using things like smart watches and sensors that are becoming ubiquitous with 5G telephone systems. In one place, the study suggests that coughing can be identified by sensors and can direct authorities to potentially infected people who have not yet sought treatments. The study calls this “catching the cough.” The study points to “air sterilization” as another innovative weapon in the COVID19 fight. The study states, “There are new nanotechnology-based on laser-induced graphene water filters that eliminate viruses and bacteria in water. This new concept engineered for air filtration could be used in air filters in heating, ventilation and air conditioning or integrated into face masks for a selfsterilizing effect.” This technology, it says, has the potential to be combined with state-of-the-art air filtration such as HEPA filters. Part of the significance of “Never Normal” is that it looks at the scientific contribution to stabilizing the world through a lens other than a purely medical one. Its message: We need all the science we can get. — Llewellyn King is executive producer and host of “White House Chronicle” on PBS. His email is llewellynking1@gmail.com.

o you are an inept driver. The you I am referencing is the plural you. It’s what Spanish speakers call vosotros. It’s y’all in the South. It’s youse in New York. Fortunately, I am here to help. Every day I witness your dangerous decisions, your menacing maneuvers and your fatuous faults. If you are ready and willing to heed my advice, you can get better. You first need to change your mindset: That it’s all about you. You need to start thinking of others. Drive with the Golden Rule in mind. So let’s get started with your first bad behavior: Not using your turn signal. Beyond the law — which mandates you signal at least 100 feet before a turn — it’s common decency to employ your indicator. It shouldn’t be a thought. It should be a reflex. Don’t wait until you come to a stop before you signal. Click it on five seconds earlier. Don’t signal only if you spot other cars, cyclists or pedestrians. Use your signal every time you turn or change lanes. Sometimes your failure to indicate you are about to turn is not a danger to others, but a waste of their time. This regularly happens to me, especially on my bicycle: I am waiting to proceed south at a two-way stop. You are westbound, coming from my left. More distant traffic is moving eastbound. You never indicate your turn. So I expect you will pass in front of me. Then at the last moment, you brake and make a northbound right. Had you signaled, I would

have safely crossed the intersection and proceeded south. But because I waited several seconds for you, the eastbound cars are now too close, and I have to wait for them to clear the intersection. Other times your failure to signal puts me in peril. Recently, I was approaching a four-way stop on my bike, signaling my intention to turn right. You were in your full-sized pickup truck, towing a wide trailer. You passed me, stopped at the intersection and never indicated you were turning. As I approached in the road shoulder — a designated “bike route” — you suddenly turned right. While your vehicle remained in the travel lane, your trailer cut off the entire shoulder. I had to ride off the pavement to avoid being hit. If you had signaled, I would have stopped short of the line to let you by. Driving on a crowded freeway is not all about obeying the vehicle code. It’s also about going with the flow of traffic. When there are three lanes, it’s common that the flow in lane No. 1 is 10 mph faster than Lane 2, which in turn is that much faster than Lane 3. If you are driving 65 mph in lane two and approach a blockage, it’s fine to go around it. Signal your intent to get in the fast lane and move over when it is safe.

However, don’t keep going 65 mph in lane No. 1, if the flow of traffic behind you in that lane is moving 75-80 mph. The right thing to do is to speed up, hold that pace until you pass the blockage in lane No. 2 and return to the lane that is going the pace you prefer. If the flow of traffic is faster than the maximum allowed and you don’t feel comfortable breaking the law, then stay in your lane. You don’t simply have a legal obligation to follow the law. You also have a moral obligation to not obstruct the flow of traffic. Again, this is the Golden Rule. It’s what God calls your mitzvah. n the same vein, if you are a slow driver (or a cyclist) on a two-lane highway and faster cars have caught you from behind, pull over as soon as you safely can and let them pass. The law requires you to get out of the way if five or more vehicles are behind you. But common decency — your mitzvah — is you pull over if one car is on your tail and cannot easily pass. Yet another of your errors is driving in limited light without your headlights on — especially in the tule fog in our area. When you are behind the wheel at night, your headlights serve two purposes: so you can see the road and any obstructions, and so others can see you. But in the twilight or fog, your DRLs exist to make it easier for others to see you. Use them. Think about a situation where you are driving north on a foggy day on a highway and you have no stop signs in your direction. But cars

I

Driving on a crowded freeway is not all about obeying the vehicle code. It’s also about going with the flow of traffic. approaching from the east and west must stop at intersections. If you don’t have your DRLs on and a driver going west cannot see you, you will be at fault for causing a crash as he crosses your path. In California, it’s normal for cyclists to ride on the right of traffic, whether there is a bike lane or not. When you are parked on the street, never open your left door without looking in your side-view mirror and over your shoulder. Make sure a cyclist is not approaching. You can accomplish the same thing by shifting your body counterclockwise and opening your left door with your right hand — known as the Dutch reach. It’s not about your convenience. It’s about you looking out for others, caring that you don’t pummel the person riding by. Following the Golden Rule doesn’t just make you a good driver. It makes you a good human being and gives me nachas for having set you straight. — Rich Rifkin is a Davis resident; his column is published every other week. Reach him at Lxartist@ yahoo.com.

LETTERS Priorities COVID-19 fills our screens and our lives with daily tragedies. We see and read about collapsed hospitals, broke and hungry families, and lives lost. Many of us spend too much time reading graphs of death rates and learning about the life-and-death cycles of viruses. But if the letters to the editor are any indication, we should all be worried about one particular repercussion: possible changes to the GPAs of Davis High School students. Oh, the horrors. Who cares about death, disease and disinformation when a 17-year-old might have a slightly harder time getting into the college of their choice? I propose a candlelight vigil to honor these poor souls (and their parents; I doubt the students care). Perhaps some donations that are now going to feed the hungry or aid health-care workers should go to subsidize college coaches for our overachievers. Stephen J. Bauer Davis

On facemasks On May 8, the Davis Enterprise published a letter written by Tori Bovard. The topic of the letter was the current mandatory facemask policy for Yolo County. There are some valid points in the letter, but I would like to address another perspective. For over five years, I have been dealing with an incurable cancer. The chemotherapy medications I take have affected my immune system. It is imperative that I protect myself by wearing a facemask whenever I go outside for any reason. Even though staying home has worked

for me, there are times when I have to leave the house. Seeing other people wear face masks helps to ease my anxieties. Scientifically, it may not make sense to some, but it works for me. Perhaps there are others living in Davis with the same type of situation. Can you wear a mask for my safety and comfort? Judi Berry Davis

Make It Happen for Yolo County is grateful One of the silver linings from the COVID-19 situation for me has been gratitude: for the financial stability that I have, for the health and presence of the people in my life and for the ability and resources to care for myself and for others. And, especially now, I am grateful for my home. I found a wonderful description of the concept of “home” from an article in the Smithsonian magazine: “Be it ever so humble, it’s more than just a place. It’s also an idea — one where the heart is” (The Definition of Home, Smithsonian Magazine, May 2012) For the past six years, I have had the

REOPEN: Supes favor caution City Councilman Lucas Frerichs suggested closing off Second Street and allowing the Varsity Theatre to show movies outdoors.

SEATING: ‘Exploring some ideas’ From Page A1 street to create an outdoor theater space. “Block off the street in front of the Varsity and allow the Varsity to show movies outside,” suggested City Councilman Lucas Frerichs. “We know we’re not going to be able to have 100-percent capacity in dining rooms,” said Assistant City Manager Ash Feeney. “Curbside retail is still the only type of retail permitted, but as retail reopens what’s that going to look like? “As a staff, we’ve been exploring some ideas of how we may be able to assist with that,” Feeney said. “Certainly the downtown is the area that … has the most public space in front of businesses.” However, he added, shopping centers around town with parking lots may want to consider the same effort. Maresca and others noted that with UC Davis students unlikely to return to town anytime soon, the loss of parking spaces downtown shouldn’t matter. He suggested the city make a plan for the entire summer. “We’re talking about something ongoing and sustainable, something that’s going to allow our businesses to be sustainable moving through the summer instead of suffering this slow death, which I think could ultimately occur if we don’t have the space,” Maresca said. In order to move forward, city staff asked that the DDBA and Chamber of Commerce reach out to members to find out just how many would want to expand outdoors. “We really would like to know specifically what businesses might want to request use of public space,” said Diane Parro, the city’s director of business and community engagement. There’s a big difference, she said, between the need for a couple of outdoor dining tables or 20 to 30, and on which blocks they are needed. Maresca noted that the public will also have to feel safe coming downtown, and that likely means not just closing off one street or block where people would congregate. “It can’t be all at just one time and one location,” he noted. “For example, if we close off E Street and E Street Plaza, what will happen is going to be … too many people in one spot.” Meanwhile, businesses need a lot more information on what the guidelines will before they can even consider reopening.

“All of these businesses are desperate for information,” said Carolyn Stiver, speaking on behalf of the Davis Chamber of Commerce. “How can we decide whether we’re going to reopen before we know what we have to do and … how many people we’ll be able to serve. That’s going to determine whether or not some of these businesses are going to be able to reopen. “So the sooner that information can get to the business owners, the sooner those business owners are going to be able to decide whether they can reopen or what they’re going to have to invest to be able to do that.” That information will likely be coming early next week. The county has submitted its attestation required by the state to move further into stage-two reopening — which includes dine-in restaurants and destination shopping — and once approved by the state, the Yolo County Board of Supervisors is expected to approve local guidelines for those businesses at its meeting next week. Meanwhile, restaurants in counties that have already reopened for dining in are following state guidelines, which include: ■ All customer-facing workers wearing masks ■ If possible, offering disposable or electronic menus ■ Ensuring diners sit at least six feet apart ■ Installing physical barriers at cash registers, bars and host stands ■ Not sharing condiments, bread baskets, salad bars or buffets ■ Eliminating self-serve machines and cutlery stations ■ Frequent hand washing ■ Checking employees’ temperatures and screening for COVID-19 symptoms ■ Encouraging reservations to allow time to disinfect dining areas between diners ■ Considering allowing dine-in customers to order ahead of time to minimize time spent in the establishment Additionally, restaurants are being encouraged to increase fresh air circulation indoors by opening windows and doors when possible or installing highefficiency air cleaners. — Reach Anne Ternus-Bellamy at aternus@davisenterprise.net.

that attestation in the next day or two. But that doesn’t mean Yolo County restaurants and retail shops will be welcoming customers inside in a day or two. Rather, a majority of the Board of Supervisors requested that staff return with plans at next Tuesday’s meeting for ensuring reopening is done safely before the green light is given. The move came as Sacramento County announced Tuesday morning that restaurants there could resume dine-in service on Thursday, something Supervisor Gary Sandy of Woodland cited as he urged the board not to wait. “I think we’ve opened gradually and safely and capably at this point but I think we should move ahead with all due speed,” Sandy said. “I cannot see any reason for continuing to hold back.” Noting Sacramento’s plans to reopen restaurants, Sandy said, “when that happens, that means that all of Yolo County restaurateurs are now at a competitive disadvantage in the marketplace because we’re holding them back. And I am absolutely confident in talking with our staff that we can implement measures that will make restaurant dining sane and safe and if I didn’t believe that with all my heart, I wouldn’t be advocating moving forward with this.” Sandy added that the county has “business people who are suffering genuine economic pain at this point. “They are in danger of losing their business. Unemployment continues to escalate… and there is an inextricable link between public health and economic health,” he said. “To the extent that we remain inert, to the extent that we are not really moving forward but we’re continuing to talk about these things ad infinitum, ad nauseum, I don’t know that that serves anyone well in the process. “At this point, I would much prefer to see us move forward in a much more

aggressive fashion … and I’m disappointed that apparently we’re not going to.” Supervisor Duane Chamberlain of the rural 5th District also voiced support for opening up as quickly as possible, but Supervisors Jim Provenza and Don Saylor of Davis and Oscar Villegas of West Sacramento preferred a cautious approach. Provenza said he didn’t disagree with Sandy about “moving forward with all due speed,” but said, “the question is, I don’t want to move forward with undue speed. “We just learned yesterday that restaurants and nonessential retail were being proposed for opening,” Provenza said. “We haven’t had any time at all on this and rather than just rushing into it all with the state guidelines, I’m suggesting that we move as quickly forward as we can in coordination with local business to develop a standard that we can all embrace.” Saylor said he wants more information for how the county will conduct COVID-19 testing and contact tracing going forward. “I do continue to have a strong interest in having a robust testing and tracing strategy before us as we take steps,” he said. “Each step that we take, we are increasing risk of contagion and I’d like to see that the overall framework be as solidly in place as we can possibly make it as we move along forward. “I don’t think we should hold off on opening in any arbitrary way,” Saylor added. “Every time we have an opening from the state to move forward, we are. I just want us to be spending more time this week on putting those plans together for testing and contact tracing.” Villegas, meanwhile, said he participated in a meeting on Monday with about a dozen restaurateurs and said “as much as I absolutely am confident that restaurateurs know how to run a restaurant, I also know that they are very nervous about the prospects of getting this wrong, and, heaven forbid, we have to roll back again, because

for many, that will be the beginning of the end.

“What I heard yesterday in an hour-and-half conversation was a whole lot of questions that they have,” said Villegas. “They centered around absolute clarity that they’re doing the right thing … because they have the most to lose if this doesn’t work. No. 2, they were very nervous about the enforcement component … precisely how the enforcement will be rolled out, because (other than) posting a sign that says, ‘No shoes, no shirt, no service,’ they now have to enforce things that not everybody wants to comply with.” Villegas said they cited examples of people walking in saying, “I’m not wearing your stupid mask. And don’t tell me to wear a stupid mask. And I want to eat and have a beer. “One example that was cited was you have a 110pound waitress who is trying to get a 250-pound man to comply with what he says is not going to happen,” said Villegas. “Those are challenges they’re not used to in addition to everything else. So I just need to have some comfort in knowing that we have had that communication with our restaurateurs who know what to expect.” Provenza also urged close cooperation with organizations like chambers of commerce and the Davis Downtown Business Association. “Some of the businesses are worried, too, about the customers coming back,” he noted. “If the public doesn’t feel safe going into a restaurant, none of this is going to work. “So we need to engage the businesses and engage the community in this process, and if we’re doing it a little bit slower, we have time to do that. I obviously would like to see all of this happen, but happen in a way that is the safest it can possibly be and meets everyone’s comfort level.” — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@ davisenterprise.net.

Aggies dominate BWC classroom honors Enterprise staff For the 12th time under the watchful eye of longtime head coach Bill Maze, the UC Davis women’s tennis team posted a perfect Academic Progress Rate score, as announced by the NCAA on Tuesday. Two other Aggie teams — women’s golf and cross country — posted perfect scores as UCD led the Big West Conference in seven APR rankings, more than any other school among 18 recognized circuit sports programs. Davis baseball, men’s soccer, men’s track and field and women’s basketball joined the

aforementioned trio at the head of the BWC class. The three women’s programs with perfect scores — cross country, golf and tennis — also earned Public Recognition Awards for placing within the top 10 percent of their sports nationally. The UCD number of Public Recognition Awards now stands at 40 from all conference (33 from teams that compete in the Big West). For Maze’s squad, the 12 perfect matriculation showings are the most among any BWC program. This year’s APR report also

featured eight UC Davis programs ranking with the secondhighest progress rates in various conferences. Men’s basketball, men’s golf, men’s tennis and women’s soccer are those Big West teams; field hockey (America East Conference); football (Big Sky Conference); and women’s lacrosse and women’s swimming and diving (Mountain Pacific Sports Federation) round out the list. Since joining the Big Sky in 2012, Aggie football recorded one of the league’s top two multi-year APR scores in each year, including the No. 1 result on six occasions.

The APR provides a real-time look at a team’s academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each recruited student-athlete. An APR grades by eligibility, retention rate and graduation to provide a measure of each team’s academic performance. In this team-based metric, according to UCD Sport Information, scholarship studentathletes earn one point each term for remaining eligible and one point for staying in school or graduating. This year’s APR report features scores based on results from the 2015-16 through 2018-19.

A

s parts of our great country begin to open up and other parts remain under tight restrictions, there’s a very real possibility that some universities may be playing college football this fall while others will be sitting on the sidelines. Southeast Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey recently said as much in a radio interview, noting, “If there are a couple of programs that aren’t able, does that stop everyone? I’m not sure it does.” Penn State head coach James Franklin jumped into the conversation by saying conferences should go ahead and play games even if several conference members can’t play. Spoken like a man who believes his team will be among those allowed to play. Folks in SEC country pretty much believe football was invented in the Deep South and they’re not likely to settle for anything short of full-throated football come September. School administrators across the country, both academic and athletic, originally seemed to agree that a school must be back in regular session with predominantly in-person classes before any intercollegiate sports could resume. They’re now fudging that a bit, hoping that even a “hybrid” class model, with at least some students on campus, will allow football to proceed. Some university presidents have already announced that in-person classes will resume in the fall, while others remain cautiously optimistic, if not fully convinced that such a scenario is possible.

S

hock waves were sent through the college football world, especially locally, when CSU Chancellor Timothy White announced last week that all 23 statewide campuses will be going to online learning in the fall, with very limited exceptions for certain coursework. Three CSU schools — Sac State, Cal Poly and San Jose State — are on UC Davis’ 11game fall schedule that begins Aug. 29 at Nevada. Reports UC Davis Athletic Director Kevin Blue, “I’ve spoken with several of the CSU athletics directors from Division I and they’ve explained that the news hasn’t changed their preparation for fall sports.” Of course, the college football schedule is such that preseason camp for all schools always begins before classes start. For UC Davis, that means camp starts nearly two months before classes begin on Sept. 30, perhaps earlier this year given that athletes haven’t been able to work out on campus since the middle of March. For UCD’s fellow Big Sky members Montana and Montana State, the gap between the normal start of camp and the start of classes is just one month. The Aggies, in fact, will play four of their 11 regular-season games before classes are slated to start. Nationally, the problem is that many schools in the SEC are located in states that will almost certainly be wide open by August, no matter what is happening with the coronavirus. States on the West Coast and the East Coast, especially those where the virus has hit hard, aren’t likely to open so quickly

A10 THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 2020

PAIR: Both excited to play, fans or not From Page A9 around it. “But having a coach with community ties like he does, people are excited about it.” Looking to help change the culture at CU, just like he did with the Devils in Davis — going from 0-10 his sophomore season to conference champions this past year — Tank will have a quick turnaround after graduation. His report date is set for June 14, just two days after DHS has its virtual ceremony scheduled. Christian-Lichtenhan has his fingers crossed that the Buffs will still get the chance to play this fall (and in front of fans at the 50,000-seat Folsom Stadium). Hoal’s Bruins often draw 70,000 spectators per game at the 92,542 capacity Rose Bowl. “If it comes to (playing without fans), so be it,”

says Hoal. “It’s certainly not my first concern. I’m at school to get my degree and then play football.” Echoes Tank: “Hopefully, it won’t come to that. But, right now, I’m just thankful for everything I have. “I couldn’t have made it to where I am without the support around me and everyone that’s had my back throughout the years.” Notes: Fisk’s Cardinal — which sports former UCD head football coach Ron Gould as running backs assistant — closed out this past season with an identical record to UCLA at 4-8. Stanford is set to face Hoal and the Bruins in Pasadena on Sept. 26 and host ChristianLichtenhan and Colorado Nov. 14. CU finished 2019 at 5-7 overall. — Reach Owen Yancher at oyancher@davisenter prise.net. Follow him via Twitter at @530athletics.

DUNNING: Effects felt across the country From Page A9 or so cavalierly. So you could have a situation where Alabama, Georgia and Florida are ready to play, but USC, UCLA, Cal and Stanford will not be allowed to do so. One area of the country might allow fans in the stands and another won’t. Cal is already exploring holding its preseason camp away from Berkeley. If some schools play and others don’t, it will create a bitter division in major college football that will take a long time to heal. It might also cause a number of seniors from nonplaying schools, plus incoming freshmen, to seek a transfer so they can play football in their final year of college. Even underclassmen could well decide to transfer. Imagine if you’ve just come off a redshirt year, which means it’s now been two years since you suited up for a real game, and now your school has suspended football for yet another year. The Big Sky Conference will have some tough decisions to make if some schools can play and others can’t. The state of Montana, home to two Big Sky powers, has the lowest coronavirus transmission rate per capita in the country, and, more importantly, the lowest per capita death rate as well. The state of Utah, home to Big Sky members Weber State and Southern Utah, also has very low rates.

The same for the state of Idaho, with Big Sky members Idaho and Idaho State. Not surprisingly, the city of Davis also has a very low transmission rate, so optimism runs high, both in town and on campus, that football can be played here in the fall. Adds Blue, “Of course, should we proceed, we would follow whatever protocols are prescribed by health officials to ensure everyone is safe.” Meanwhile, folks who follow the fortunes of Big Sky member Portland State say that program will be in deep trouble financially if it can’t play its two money games against Arizona and Oregon State to open the 2020 season. With the recent loosening of restrictions in both those states, however, those fears have been lessened somewhat. Of great concern to all school administrators, coaches, players and fans is what happens if a second wave of the coronavirus hits in the fall as many of the so-called experts are warning? Another pressing question concerns when and if fans will be allowed into the stadium, and even if they are, how many of them will be comfortable coming to a game? There are many questions still to be answered and yet the clock refuses to stop ticking. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenter prise.net.
