UCD plans on students returning for fall
Short and sweet Next Mondavi season will run January to June BY JEFF HUDSON Enterprise staff writer The Mondavi Center at UC Davis has announced an abbreviated 2020-21 season, which will feature a mix of familiar favorites as well as several performers visiting Davis for the first time. “We believe this season, despite its shorter length, will be one to remember, a season that both delights and provokes, that brings the familiar and the brand new, and that is to the Mondavi Center’s mission: ‘Illuminate, Educate, Connect,’” said Don Roth, executive director of the Mondavi Center. “We also want our public to know that their safety and comfort is of paramount importance, and that we will be taking extraordinary measures to ensure their safety and comfort when they return to this magnificent venue.” Some highlights of the upcoming season: ■ Orchestra series. The Mozart Orchestra of New York, conducted by music director Gerard Schwartz, will play an all-Mozart program featuring three of the composer’s late symphonies

UC Davis announced plans on Tuesday to welcome students back to campus this fall if county and state health guidelines permit, and plans to offer a mix of in-person and remote instruction. The university is committed to reducing health risks as the safety and well-being of the campus community are its priorities. “The benefits of a residential education go beyond classes and instruction,” said Chancellor Gary S. May. “We look forward to providing that experience for our students — all in keeping with the guidance of our health authorities.” Extensive planning and preparations for expanded on-site university operations will comprehensively address campus services and operations. These plans include student instruction; student housing and dining; as well as student programs and services. Provisions for symptom surveys, temperature checking and virus testing the community are being developed in alignment with guidance from public health officials.
In person and remote When fall quarter instruction starts Sept. 30, the campus plans to offer most courses remotely, though some courses will also be available in person, depending on health guidelines and instructor preference. As well, in-person instruction will occur for the small number of courses that cannot be delivered remotely, such as those requiring live performance

Courtyard skilled-nursing facility May appoints new reports first coronavirus case UC Davis provost BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY
Special to The Enterprise
Enterprise staff writer A patient at the Courtyard Healthcare Center in Davis has tested positive for the novel coronavirus. Courtyard, which provides skilled nursing and rehabilitation services at its facility on East Eighth Street, said on its website that this is the only confirmed case at the center since the beginning of the pandemic. It is one of five longterm senior care facilities in the county to have a resident or staff member test positive for COVID-19 during the pandemic, though only the Stollwood Convalescent Hospital in Woodland experienced an outbreak, one which ultimately took 17 lives.

Briefly Man suspected of elder abuse Davis police arrested an employee of a local skilled-nursing facility this week on suspicion of elder abuse. Eric Keahi Guerzon, 26, was taken into custody shortly before 8:30 p.m. Monday at Courtyard Healthcare Center, 1850 E. Eighth St., after staff there summoned officers to investigate a “possible elder abuse” report earlier in the evening, Lt. Art Camacho said. “The officers formed a suspicion that Guerzon, a certified nursing assistant, placed a pillow over the head of a patient,” Camacho said. He declined to specify how police reached that conclusion, saying it could compromise the ongoing investigation. Camacho said the patient, an 82-year-old woman, did not sustain any injuries. Calls to Courtyard seeking comment Tuesday afternoon were not returned. Guerzon was booked into the Yolo County Jail on a felony elderabuse charge but was no longer in custody there as of Tuesday.

‘Tenacity’ makes it all worthwhile Every time I’ve tried M H to barbecue, either y dad was never fond of Father’s Day. It’s a feeling he passed on to me. Even though he was very good at being a dad, he implored us not to waste our money on meaningless gifts to celebrate a day he claimed was “made up out of thin air.” He said the only gift he wanted was to see his five kids and his lifelong sweetheart sitting happily around the dinner table on the third Sunday in June. As we all got older and began to have independent lives of our own, that desire became even stronger, so we always did our best to honor him on this day, no matter how old we got or how far away we lived from our childhood home. I thought of Dad and his wishes the other day as I came across a CNN story titled “50 gifts perfect for any dad this Father’s Day.” Obviously, this not being Christmas, you’re supposed to pick just one gift from a list that runs from silly to sillier. “Of course, you can go with the standard ties, watches and wallets,” it begins, “but if you want to stand out and show dad how much you care, you’ll have to do better than that.” Well, I don’t own a tie, have never worn a watch and don’t
carry a wallet, so hopefully my loved ones won’t try to change those habits now. “We’ve scoured the internet for the best gifts for Father’s Day. Whether he likes music, golf and coffee, or cooking, fashion and plants, we’ve compiled an exhaustive list of presents in basically every category.” The operative word here is “exhaustive.” I’m exhausted just reading it. “Summer is upon us, and that means Dad is probably venturing out to the grill more and more.” True enough. I venture out to the grill regularly to see what the Red-Headed Girl of My Dreams is cooking. She is clearly the grillmaster in this family. Every time I’ve tried to barbecue, either everything catches fire or the chicken is so undercooked that our guests end up in the emergency room.
ow about the Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker that can “whip up a sausage, egg and cheese in just five minutes.” I don’t eat breakfast, but if I don’t have a cup of hot and extremely strong coffee in my hands within 30 seconds of getting out of bed, they’ll find me on the kitchen floor without a heartbeat. There’s also a “Patagonia Black Hole Duffel” for “Dad’s next getaway in the woods,” an adventure I refuse to take without this $139 bag. “If Dad has a bottle cap collection,” begins the pitch for the $35 “Beer Cap States” gift, which works out to just 70 cents per state. “Turn any photo of you and your Dad into a fun puzzle with this 520-piece personalized one.” Please, no puzzles. I get a migraine just thinking about any puzzle with more than two pieces. “Braun Series 7 7071cc Electric Razor for Men.” Electric razors are the very definition of evil. Besides, I’m not allowed around anything with the letters “cc” in its title. “If he loves to eat fish, these salmon filets from Rastelli’s are a perfect gift. We reviewed the meat delivery service and fell in love
everything catches fire or the chicken is so undercooked that our guests end up in the emergency room.
with its salmon, which comes frozen and is dropped off right at your door.” Given the long time it takes to get something delivered these days, you’d better hope that fish comes frozen when it lands on your front porch on a 105-degree day. “If you’re looking for something fun to give, this hammock will let him kick his feet up in a brand new way. Made out of hightenacity nylon, it’s rugged and has a weight capacity of 400 pounds.” Given the inactivity the pandemic has forced upon my oncesvelte body, let’s hope this hammock with the weight limit comes with a bathroom scale. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.
Plea deal reached for driver in fatal Winters SUV crash
Davis Arts Center Virtual Summer Camp details set
BY LAUREN KEENE
Davis Arts Center Virtual Summer Arts Camp will run for five weeks from July 6 to Aug. 7, each week exploring a specific medium. Details are available at davisarts center.org. Each week will include, an art kit with all the materials needed for the week (art kit pickup at Davis Arts Center or shipping is available), an activity checklist for parents and campers, written project instruction, online how-to videos from Davis Arts Center teachers and other arts organizations, and three optional Zoom check-ins to discuss projects and a Q&A. Camps are priced at $100 per week, which includes art kit. Additional kits are available
Enterprise staff writer An Esparto man will serve probation and jail time for a February drunken-driving crash that resulted in his wife’s death, according to the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office. Joshua Douglas Muller, 30, pleaded no contest last Thursday to vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, Deputy District Attorney Frits van der Hoek said Monday. He is expected to be sentenced Aug. 5 to probation and 120 days in county jail. Muller and his wife, former Davis resident Sarah Morrissey Muller, were heading home from a “date night” in Winters at about 9:30 p.m. Feb. 22 when their sport-utility vehicle left the roadway and struck a tree on Railroad Avenue near Neimann Street. Muller, who was driving, had a blood-alcohol content of 0.14, nearly
twice the legal limit of 0.08, police reported at the time. Friends and relatives of the couple, the parents of four children, called the crash “a tragic accident” that left Muller devastated. “This is not something that Josh would have ever wanted to happen. They were madly in love,” friend Ana Feliciano told The Davis Enterprise following Muller’s first court appearance. “I can’t wait for this to be over for their family. They (the children) need their dad back.” Muller, who had a prior DUI conviction, once faced a murder charge in the case, but that count was removed in an amended complaint the DA’s Office filed last week. Several other DUI-related charges also were dismissed in exchange for Muller’s plea. “This plea agreement was the direct result of facts that were developed in this
case subsequent to Mr. Muller’s arrest,” said Steve Sabbadini, Muller’s attorney. “This information led the District Attorney’s Office to dismiss the more serious charges and the making of the offer to resolve the case. Also instrumental in this plea agreement was the participation in and support of this plea agreement by principal family members on both sides.” Van der Hoek noted that the plea agreement carries a provision that “any nontechnical violation of the terms of (Muller’s) probation will result in the court either suspending the upper term or imposing the upper term at the discretion of the court.” The upper term of the manslaughter count is four years in jail. — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenter prise.net or 530-747-8048.

OBITUARY Margaret Tucher
Special to The Enterprise
DNT TXT N DRIVE
April 11, 1919 — May 29, 2020 Margaret Tucher, an indomitable spirit, aged 101, departed the earth May 29, 2020, at Carlton Senior Living in Davis. Born in the midst of the influenza pandemic, April 11, 1919, to German/Austrian immigrants, she was a child of the Great Depression. Having endured abject poverty and life-threatening illness (diphtheria) that claimed the life of her little brother, these hardscrabble series of tragic events shaped her outlook her entire life, imbuing her with a grit and tenacity unmatched by few. Margaret married Alvin Tucher May 17, 1941, and they were together 41 years until his death. Those early years took her to Mare Island, Vallejo, accompanying her husband who worked as a civilian in the war efforts, then a return to Sacramento after World War II, where she raised her family and focused her considerable energy in homemaking and community activism. Indeed, she succeeded in lobbying local politicians to install sidewalks in her South Sacramento neighborhood, and in later years reveled in her work as a volunteer consumer advocate for Call 3 at KCRA in Sacramento. In addition, over the years, she wrote prolifically in letters to family, friends, politicians, even to the president of the United States at the time, Lyndon Johnson (and received a personal call from the Pentagon in response!). She was never at a loss for words, spoken or written. Margaret pursued a lifelong passion for gardening and floral arranging. She would spend hours in her garden at her Sacramento home of 55 years, then subsequently in her Davis home where she moved at age 82, and tended her picturesque grounds with the
enthusiasm and boundless energy of someone half her age, Her roses were exquisite, her green thumb legendary, After one particularly exhausting day of attempting to unearth a stump with a shovel and brute force, 90 year old Margaret exclaimed, “I just don’t know why I’m so sore and tired today!” No obstacle was too big to tackle with gusto, and giving up was never a considered option. The proverbial “life of the party”, she regaled in being the center of things, never failing to relish a good story (especially her own), She was always ready for a good party, and welcomed an opportunity to dress up and celebrate with friends and family. She adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and especially treasured their visits with “Gram.” Throughout her life, this irrepressible soul with a personality that would fill an entire room, possessed remarkable fortitude. In her final days, through sheer force of will, she persisted until her beloved granddaughter’s long anticipated baby was born. As she looked at her new great granddaughter’s picture and beheld the miracle of life, she commented, “That is a beautiful baby!” Margaret’s life was complete, and her work done, She is survived by two daughters and their spouses, Carolyn and Ross Leonard and Susan and Johannes Binnewies; three grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; six nieces; and one nephew. The family would like to thank Dr. Allison Alcalay, Dr. Monica Romo, Krizzha Zamora, RN from Sutter Hospice, and the staff at Carlton, particularly Juanita and Jake, for their outstanding care and compassion in these final years.

Fun playtime ideas for Father’s Day
One of the silver linings of social distancing is the opportunity for family members who reside under one roof to have more uninterrupted time together.
Special to The Enterprise

Celebrating Father’s Day while social distancing Special to The Enterprise To say that COVID-19 changed life as we know it would be an understatement. Many people likely never imagined how much their daily routines would be affected when this novel coronavirus was just a blip on the radar at the end of 2019. Social distancing may have become the new normal, but it doesn’t mean that holidays like Father’s Day have to be a washout. As evidenced by holidays that have already taken place amid social distancing guidelines, people are finding creative ways to celebrate special occasions. Here are some ways to make Father’s Day special even while social distancing.
Turn to social apps Virtual meeting applications, like Zoom, Skype and FaceTime provide invaluable opportunities to speak and connect face-to-face when in-person gatherings are not possible. They also can be used to break bread together or to play games or relay stories.
Deliver gifts Take a few cues from the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus and plan to drop gifts and run. Seniors and people who
have compromised immune systems are at a higher risk of contracting contagious illnesses. While it may be tempting to visit your father or grandfather in person, even a short visit could put his health at risk. Instead, leave gifts outside the house. For added fun, hide the gifts and provide scavenger hunt clues.
Dine out at home If dining out was something you typically do on Father’s Day, replicate the experience at home. Try to recreate Dad’s favorite meal from the restaurant he loves or see if that restaurant offers curbside pickup. Transform the dining table into a restaurant table, or take the meal outdoors for some al fresco fun. Let kids serve as the wait staff.
Spend time together One of the silver linings of social distancing is the opportunity for family members who reside under one roof to have more uninterrupted time together. Chances are having the kids nearby and sharing some stories and laughs together will be a perfect way for Dad to enjoy Father’s Day. With some creative thinking, dads across the county can still enjoy the special day they deserve. — Metro Creative
Retail industry helped shape Father’s Day Special to The Enterprise Father’s Day arrives the third Sunday in June and presents a special way to show the fathers in one’s life how much they are cherished. People shower dads with gifts but may not know just how Father’s Day came to be. The concept of Father’s Day was inspired by Mother’s Day celebrations and was initiated by a woman named Sonora Smart Dodd, who wanted to do something to honor her single father. In the early days of Father’s Day, Dodd worked with her local YMCA and local churches to adopt what was supposed to be a religiously influenced holiday. But in the early 1900s, dads did not necessarily have the
same hands-on role that many fathers have today. Cartoons published in newspapers portrayed Dad as the breadwinner and a distant fellow who wasn’t as involved as his wife in day-to-day interaction with his children. Dodd and others realized that marketing would be key to Father’s Day’s success. Clothing manufacturers, people who made tobacco and other merchants of products made for men found Father’s Day a way to sell merchandise. It just took a while for them to come around. A Father’s Day Council was started in the 1930s and was propelled by a group called the New York Associated
Menswear Retailers. In 1938, the National Council for the Promotion of Father’s Day was formed, primarily due to poor menswear retail sales. After they held a “Father’s Day Sports Day” parade in 1941, Father’s Day sales increased, and the holiday became more popular. — Metro Creative
Playtime is one of the best opportunities for dads, grandfathers and other father figures to serve as role models in a child’s life, and research shows that these experiences have a number of positive health benefits for kids. According to experts at The Genius of Play, a research-based initiative providing parents and caregivers with facts, inspiration, and hands-on resources to help make playtime an important part of every day, regular active physical play between fathers and young children is associated with improved developmental outcomes. To help make Father’s Day special for kids and dads alike, check out these fun and creative playtime ideas from The Genius of Play. ■ Storytime stretch: Read or tell a story to your child that has a single word repeated often. Have your child jump, stretch, clap or do some other exaggerated physical movement every time they hear the word. Then, mix things up and have your child tell you a story. This is a great way to spend time together building vocabulary, boosting creativity and having fun. ■ Science kit: Whether it’s erupting a volcano, building a system of pulleys and levers or growing crystals, dads and kids can learn about science and engineering, as well as practice following directions by completing a science kit together. ■ Charades: Choose a category for the game such as television shows, songs, sports, animals or professions. Then have everyone write down a noun in that category on a slip of paper. Mix the slips of paper together in a hat or bowl. Take turns choosing a slip of paper from the mix. Without speaking, act out a word or phrase that

This Father’s Day, be sure dads or other father figures make the time for playtime. others can guess. Whoever guesses correctly then begins his or her turn. ■ Board game fun: From puzzles and party games to cards and trivia, games build communication skills, teach good sportsmanship and create opportunities for strategic thinking. ■ Two truths and a tale: Take turns saying three things about yourself. Two are true, but one is not. The other players have to hold up one, two or three fingers to indicate which of the three statements they think is untrue. The person who guesses correctly then takes a turn. If no one gets it right, the fibber goes again! ■ Build a fort: Collaborate and stretch the imagination with fort-building. First drape sheets over the backs of chairs and stack pillows underneath or decorate cardboard boxes

County’s public information officer. Now all 216 staff and residents at the facility have been tested and no other positive cases have turned up, she said. “We were able to catch this case early and hopefully prevent an outbreak,” Tan said. In the statement on its website, Courtyard committed to facility-wide testing in collaboration with the local public health department. “We understand the importance of knowing the status of our residents, employees and essential health care providers,” the notice said. “In this new world of COVID-19, rest assured we are aggressively treating and responding to potential community exposures by conducting routine testing of all our residents and staff until such time as a vaccine becomes available or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) instructs otherwise.” Additional steps the facility said it has taken to ensure the virus doesn’t spread among patients and
staff include screening everyone prior to entering the facility; providing appropriate personal protective equipment; and creating a separate observation unit where all new admissions to the facility are placed for quarantine, testing and monitoring prior to being assigned to a standard room. Separate wings of the facility have been designated for the care of any residents who may test positive for COVID-19. “Providing for the safety and well-being of our residents and staff is our paramount priority,” Courtyard said on its website. “We especially wish to commend our staff for their steadfast commitment to the care and safety of our residents — we truly are ‘family serving families.’” Congregate care facilities like those for seniors have been among the hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic due to the close living arrangements, staff caring for multiple patients and the higher risk of complications faced by the elderly. Since early March, the county health officer has
banned visitors to longterm care facilities to minimize the risk of coronavirus spreading but acknowledged that if the virus did get it in, it would likely be from an unsuspecting (and asymptomatic) staff member. So far, other than Stollwood, which was hit earlier in the pandemic, longterm care facilities in Yolo County that have reported a positive case have been able to prevent an outbreak from occurring. A patient at The Californian Assisted Living and Dementia Care center in Woodland tested positive in April and was transferred to Stollwood for treatment. No other cases were reported at The Californian. Likewise an employee at Atria Covell Gardens tested positive in early May but no other cases have been reported at the North Davis assisted living community. A month earlier, an employee at Alderson’s Convalescent Hospital in Woodland tested positive but no other cases resulted. —Reach Anne TernusBellamy ataternus@ davisenterprise.net.
Coronavirus spikes again in Yolo County BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus spiked again in Yolo County this week with 10 new cases reported on Tuesday. The county has confirmed a total of 52 cases in the last 14 days, just three shy of the limit set by the state for reopening businesses here. Five of the cases reported Tuesday were in Woodland, three in Winters or the unincorporated areas, and one each in Davis and West Sacramento. Woodland continues to lead the county in cases, with 29 confirmed in the last two weeks and 125 since the pandemic began. The city of West
Sacramento accounts for 82 cases while the city of Davis has reported 30 and Winters and the unincorporated areas 28. Younger adults continue to make up the majority of new cases. Of the 40 confirmed cases in the last six days, more than half were in individuals under the age of 34, including seven ages 18 to 24 and two ages 17 and under.
Also at UCSF, Croughan developed and led a practice-based research network with more than 600 community-based primary care physicians. Since 1987, she has conducted research in reproductive and perinatal epidemiology, specifically examining health outcomes of nearly 52,000 women treated for infertility, and their partners and their children. Croughan served as vice chair and chair of the UC systemwide Academic Senate and as a faculty representative on the UC Board of Regents from 2007 to 2009. Throughout her career, she has served on numerous committees, including the UCSF Academic Senate’s Committee on Academic Personnel, as chair of the Universitywide Committee on Academic Personnel and as chair of the UCSF Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on the Status of Women. Croughan served as a fellow of the American Council on Education with University of Miami President Donna Shalala in 2012-13. As an ACE fellow, she studied higher
education within the United States and internationally, enhancing her expertise in undergraduate education, fundraising, athletics and crisis communications. Croughan is currently a professor in the School of Public Health at UNLV. She previously served as vice president for research and economic development at UNLV from 2017 through 2019. During her time as vice president, Croughan helped build UNLV’s research infrastructure, fostered interdisciplinary research, ensured that more undergraduates had research opportunities and identified strategic research areas where the university could grow. She was instrumental in helping UNLV gain status as an R1 institution in 2018 (R1 connotes a university with very high research activity), which was seven years ahead of schedule. Croughan helped develop and open the UNLV Harry Reid Research and Technology Park, including Black Fire Innovation which is designed to promote collaborative research between UNLV and
industry partners in the hospitality and gaming industry. Croughan is a proud Aggie. Her youngest daughter is currently a UC Davis senior and several other family members also are Aggies. She received her bachelor’s degree in community health from UC Davis and her doctorate in epidemiology from The Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health. “UC Davis was the birthplace of my career and my introduction to the incredible opportunities afforded to students through the education and research experiences available at a public research university,” Croughan said. “It is an honor to help lead this extraordinary university through the current challenges facing higher education, while ensuring that UC Davis remains one of the world’s greatest public research universities. Croughan fills the position that Ralph J. Hexter will leave on June 30 after nearly a decade. Last September, Hexter announced his plans to return to teaching and research in classics and comparative literature.

With 52 cases reported in the last two weeks, the county is just three below the metric set for the county under the state’s attestation criteria. That attestation, which has allowed the county to reopen a number of businesses and activities in recent weeks, requires that the county report no more than 55 cases in the last 14 days.

STUDENTS: UCD zeroes in on health From Page A1 and hands-on experiences. The university will develop accommodations to support students who, due to personal circumstances or elevated health risks associated with COVID-19, are unable to return to campus for the fall quarter. Academic advisors will work with those whose majors require the courses being offered only in person, so that students can continue to make progress toward their degrees. Where appropriate, reasonable accommodations also will be made for faculty and staff who are unable to return to their workplace due to health concerns related to COVID-19.
Public health and safety UC Davis is working closely with public health officials and will continue to implement health and safety protocols according to their guidance, including the wearing of face coverings and maintaining appropriate physical distancing in all programs and services. Daily symptom surveys in combination with temperature screening will be used in accordance with current public health best practices to identify and provide support to community members who may be at risk of COVID-19. Protocols for testing and isolation of at-risk individuals will follow guidance from public health authorities. Other measures to reduce public health risks include: ■ All in-person classes will be offered in larger than usual classrooms. ■ On-campus residence halls will have reduced density, and dining commons and other food services on campus will operate in a way that complies with public health requirements for physical distancing and food safety. ■ Student services such as academic advising, the Internship and Career Center, the Activities and Recreation Center, and many other programs and services will continue to offer services remotely and through on-site operations in compliance with public health guidance. ■ All campus spaces, such as libraries, on-campus study spaces and computer labs, the Memorial Union and the Coffee House, will be operated in compliance with public health guidance to include
physical distancing and mandatory use of face coverings. In addition, all common-use areas and surfaces will be cleaned at regular intervals, and hand hygiene stations will be broadly available across campus.
Adapting to new developments With fall instruction scheduled to start later than at some universities, the campus will have additional time to monitor the pandemic and make preparations for fall. There is certainty that the pandemic and public health guidance will evolve. Working in close collaboration with public health officials and UC Davis Health experts, UC Davis will evolve too. Should it become necessary, the campus is prepared to return to the current state of reduced on-site operations at any time. The UC Davis Medical Center continues to provide care for COVID-19 patients, and UC Davis researchers and scholars have been contributing to the fight against the pandemic. UC Davis will continue to update campus information related to the coronavirus, including weekly messages from the chancellor. In addition, Undergraduate Admissions updates its communication with parents and students, and Graduate Studies provides updates and guidance for incoming and continuing students and postdoctoral scholars.
Background on operations The campus announced in March that it would move spring quarter to remote instruction and later that its Summer Sessions courses and orientation for new undergraduates would be remote only. As announced in late May, the campus has been gradually reinstating some operations. A “campus ready” website is available to guide planning and share resources with the entire UC Davis community. Yolo County allowed its stay-at-home directive to expire May 31, but face coverings are still mandatory for most everyone in most circumstances outside the home. — UC Davis News

COMMENTARY
Exploring the language of color
We’ve been down this road
“My grandfather was coloured, my father was Negro and I am Black.” — Henry Louis Gates
I
BY SOPHIA CARILLO Special to CalMatters
T
hree summers ago, my Stanford Law classmates and I were volunteering at an immigration detention center in rural Texas to help asylum seekers. While we were there, President Donald Trump, in a blink of atweet, rescinded DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. A member of our volunteer team was a DACA recipient, and he decided to drive back to Stanford alone. But withDACA protectionsnow up in the air, there was no way I would let him risk a multi-state trip by himself. So, I jumped in the car and together we hit the road. I feared his work permit had protections only as strong as the paper it was printed on. I know border patrol checkpoints. I grew up on the Southern California border, surrounded by checkpoints to the north and west. I was in kindergarten during the peak Proposition 187 years and am one of the16.7 millionAmericans with a mixed-status family. WhileProp. 187was never fully enacted, it whipped up a fervor of anti-immigrant activity, similar toArizona under SB 1070, that cut just as deep. On our journey through Texas, we were stopped twice at checkpoints. I’ve been through checkpoints hundreds of times. But this time, sweat pooled down my neck and my stomach spiraled. One stop was particularly scary. My friend was ordered out of the car. With his permit in hand, the agent said, “This doesn’t work anymore.” “We’re just trying to get back to Stanford!” I yelled from the driver’s seat. Performative academia and the Stanford bumper sticker helped a lot in that moment. “We’re grad students!” He asked to see our student identification. I think he thought we were lying. He came up to the driver’s side. “This doesn’t work anymore, got it?” he said of the permit. We peeled off, not stopping again until the gas tank was about to hit empty. It was maddening to feel so helpless. Waiting for the U.S. Supreme Court to decide this month on thetermination of DACAfeels the same way. There are so many unknowns. We cannot ever fully understand the depth of anguish and complexity of feelings our DACA-mented friends feel as they manage life in one-year intervals. But, regardless of outcome, we should take solace in knowing we’ve been down this road before.

he lessons of Prop. 187 remind us that the future of the immigrants’ rights movement is in our hands. In 1994, 10,000 students walked out of classes, 70,000 people flooded downtown Los Angeles and ageneration of leadersemerged from a blatantly racist attack on the Latinx community. The lessons from Prop. 187 ring clear: the actions we take now to demand dignity will outlive this moment, no matter how bleak. Because of those walkouts, my peers and I grew up in a California drastically different from what Prop. 187 envisioned. We cannot ignore the line from immigrants’ rights activism in the ’90s to the direct actions in the 2010s. Some were more visible: the protests, walkouts, the early grainy flip phone videos of disrupted deportations, activists tying themselves to van tires, the banner drops over highways. Some changed the course of history. The solemn march of four immigrant youth from Miami, Fla., to Washington, D.C., on the “trail of dreams” sparked the term “Dreamer.” Patricia Okoumou shocked the world byclimbing the Statue of Libertyon the Fourth of July to protest the detention ofmigrant children. Prop. 187 emboldened a generation. Those who fought for DACA organized a future into existence. And today’s immigrants’ rights movement is primed to learn from Black Lives Matters’ steadfast commitment to longterm movement planning. Now it’s our turn. When we finally made it out of Texas, the road ahead broke into cotton-candy pink skies. Zipping past the desert sky felt like freedom. Like this moment, we did not know what obstacles lie ahead, but we knew the journey. Like those who marched against Prop. 187, fighting for the next generation they did not know and could not see, we too must continue the journey. There are pink skies and a better future ahead. — Sophia Carrillo is a Latino Community Foundation Sacramento Giving Circle member and a board member of the American Constitution Society Sacramento Chapter, sophia1@stanford.edu. She wrote this commentary for CalMatters.
n the days after the death of George Floyd on May 25 in Minneapolis, Black Lives Matter protests quickly spread from Minnesota to all parts of the United States. Activists across America decried police violence, economic inequality, corporate profits and racism. Most were peaceful. A few looted and vandalized. Yet the protests were not limited to our shores. As the video of police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on the throat of Mr. Floyd spread overseas, so did the protests. News articles, photos and videos report demonstrations against racism in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Thailand and the U.K. Regardless of their home language, many demonstrators depicted in photos at foreign rallies were carrying signs, in English, that say, “Black Lives Matter.” But some translated those words. “Las vidas negras importan,” read one sign I saw from Madrid. A Black Lives Matter poster displayed in Berlin had “Schwarze leben zählen” and its English equivalent. A placard in Paris read, “Les vies noires comptent.” I hadn’t thought about it before, but I am struck by the variety of principal words for the color black there are in Indo-European languages. It occurs to me that no other language but English uses a word etymologically related to black to mean, “a color that lacks hue and brightness and absorbs light
without reflecting any of the rays composing it.” The majority of English words — 60 percent, according to dictionary.com — have Greek or Latin roots, with many of those arriving through French. Another 25 percent of our language comes from Germanic origins, including Old English. Black has Old English roots. However, when Old English, also known as AngloSaxon, was a spoken language — from roughly 410 to 1066 C.E. — the main word for the color black was sweart. The Old English black, spelled blaec, comes from the Proto-Germanic word blakaz. It meant “burned.” That is the same source also of Old High German blah, meaning “black,” Old Norse blakkr, meaning “dark” and the Dutch blaken, meaning “blaze.” According to etymoline. com, the same root produced Old English blac, meaning “bright, shining, glittering and pale. The connecting notions being, perhaps, ‘fire’ (bright) and ‘burned’ (dark) or perhaps ‘absence of color.’” The closest living words to the English word “black” are in Scandinavian languages. They all mean “ink.” In Swedish it is bläck. Norwegian for ink is blekk. Icelandic, blek. And in Danish ink is blæk. Contemporary English speakers are familiar with the Anglo-Saxon sweart in the word swarthy, meaning
“dark-skinned.” Swarthy came into English in the 1580s. In Act II, Scene 6 of “Two Gentlemen of Verona” by William Shakespeare, the (racist?) character Proteus proclaims his love for Silvia, comparing her complexion to that of Julia, his former lover: “And Silvia, witness Heaven, that made her fair! Shows Julia but a swarthy Ethiope.”
T
he Anglo-Saxon sweart and the later swarthy come from the ProtoGermanic swarta. That root lives on in several languages as the main term for the color black. In German it is schwarz. In Dutch, zwart. Luxembourgish, schwaarz. Afrikaans and Frisian, swart. Danish, sort. Icelandic, svartur. Norwegian and Swedish, svart. Yiddish, shvartz. While black, meaning a person of sub-Saharan African ancestry, was used as a secondary term, negro — taken from Portuguese slave traders — became the main English term for the black race for four centuries. Negro did not fall out of favor in American English until the 1960s. It was the Black Power movement that led the shift in usage to black or sometimes Black. The Galician, Spanish and Portuguese word negro comes from the Latin words for black, nigrum and niger. Other Latin languages have related words for the color: Catalan (negre); Corsican (neru); French (noir); Italian (nero); and Romanian (negru). While Greek is an important source of English words, its term for the color black — pronounced MAH-vros — never made it. The word for black in Slavic languages sounds similar to CHAIR-no or CHAR-nee or
something close. In Bulgarian it is cherno. In Croatian it is crno; Czeck, cern; Bosnian and Macedonian, crna; Polish, czarny. Russian, chernyy; Serbian, crn; Slovak, cierna; Slovenian, Crna; and Ukranian, chornyy. Turkic languages mostly use a form of kara for the color black. That is the word in Turkish, though siyah is preferred. Azerbaijani and Kazakh (qara); Kyrgyz (kara); Tatar (kapa); Turkmen (gara); and Uzbek (qora). It’s likely that the ancient Britons, who spoke a Celtic language, used a word for black that is similar to Irish and Scots Gaelic (dubh) or Breton, Cornish and Welsh (du). Beside Greek, there are a number of European languages which use terms for the color black that are not closely related to other tongues. Albanian (e zezë); Armenian (Sev); Basque (beltza); Finnish (musta) and Estonian (must); Hungarian (fekete); Latvian (melns); Lithuanian (juoda) and Maltese (iswed). On the African continent, terms for the color black are even more varied than in Europe. The Arabic word for black is aswad. In Swahili, it is nyeusi. In Amharic (Ethiopian), it is t’ik’uri. In Igbo (from Nigeria), it is ojii. In Yoruba (in West Africa), dudu. In Xhosa and Zulu, mnyama. Whether it is said in Maori (“pango ora te take”), Malay (“hidup hitam penting”) or Macedonian (“rnite životi se važni”), the universal message on the streets is “Black Lives Matter.” — Rich Rifkin is a Davis resident; his column is published every other week.

LETTERS ASUCD president backs University Commons As a lifelong environmentalist and the former chair of the ASUCD Environmental Policy and Planning Commission, I’m convinced that we need to completely rethink how we design our communities to solve the climate crisis. One of the best ways to accomplish this is via multi-family housing that is well-serviced by public transportation, and is close to essential services like grocery stores and pharmacies. This ensures that there are less cars on the road, and that alternative methods of transportation are easily accessible. The University Commons project accomplishes all of those things. That is why, as the ASUCD President, I have signed on to an ASUCD Senate resolution to support the development of the University Commons project. Since University Mall is across the street from the UC Davis campus, the University Commons project is in a great position to help relieve the city’s housing issues while reducing the average driving distance to campus, thus further reducing transportation impacts on the climate. And in creating a greener Davis, we concurrently uplift all of our community members. Currently, 18% of UC Davis students live in substandard living conditions or on the streets, often choosing between having to pay their rent or pay for food. With extremely low vacancy rates, rising rents, and the current pandemic, more and more students are finding it difficult to find secure housing, making it harder for them to focus on academics. If we focus on building more housing, especially affordable housing, Davis can provide more students with opportunities to secure housing and academically succeed. So, from an environmental perspective, University Commons will become Davis’ next “urban gem.” And from a students’ perspective, University Commons will

Protected bike lanes Rich Rifkin’s forum piece denounced protected bike lanes such as those on Mace Boulevard. Is Rich is a spandexclad “experienced” cyclist? I’m just a person who uses my bike to go to the doctor, grocery store, library, farmers market, dinner and to visit friends — in other words, I rarely drive in Davis. I live off Mace Boulevard. The protected bike lanes are awesome! As a frequent user of those lanes, I know I’m much safer, and so are kids going to school. With a curb between me and vehicles I might take a spill, but I’m less likely to be involved in a deadly crash with a car or truck. The two “dangerous” mishaps that Rich describes were actually minor. The turns are sharp for a reason, drivers have to slow way down and that’s why no one was hurt. That’s also why I hated to see the curbs removed at Cowell and the orange barriers go up.

Riding in the bike lane on Mace is great. Yesterday I encountered a woman with a stroller walking in the bike lane. I didn’t run her down — I rang my bell, she stepped up on the sidewalk, and we waved. I’ve met bikes in the protected lane going the opposite way many times — we smile, say hi, and manage to pass without ending up in the hospital! Our community has benefited in more ways than one from those lanes. As Rich points out, even families are riding together on Mace. Wow, that’s wonderful, I never saw that in the previous 20 years I’ve lived here! People are actually walking and riding down Mace — at all hours of the day. That’s a huge improvement. It’s time to see Davis streets from a broader viewpoint. Let’s keep Mace Boulevard as it is. Kris McLeod Davis

Sports in Superak keeps Devils fit working BWC still Trainer from afar to aid student-athletes in limbo BY BRUCE GALLAUDET
Conference joins NCAA with July 20 deadline BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor Calling the health and safety of its student-athletes, coaches, staff and fans “our preeminent North Star,” the Big West Conference board of directors provided official comment on the pandemic — and when a decision on the fate of fall sports might be reached. Released through BWC Assistant Commissioner Mike Villamor, this week’s comments are not attributed to an individual and primarily address factors being used to make a decision on when to resume athletics. The press release promises “an updated statement about our fall 2020 season, in conjunction with the NCAA, no later than July 20.” Given the ever-changing information provided by the medical community about the pandemic’s intensity, the conference notes that “it would neither be fair nor responsible to prematurely announce a final decision regarding fall athletics. “We do not need to make that decision today, this week, or even this month,” the press release stated. “Instead, we have time for our health experts to continue the work that will both inform and empower us to make a better evidence-based decision when the game clock of our fall season truly is nearing zero.” The Big West greets two new members this year as UC San Diego and Cal State Bakersfield join UC Davis, Cal Poly, Long Beach State, UC Irvine, Cal State Fullerton, UC Riverside, CSUN, UC Santa Barbara and Hawaii. Sacramento State also is a two-sport member (beach volleyball and soccer) while the Aggies are members of the Big Sky Conference for football. The Big West pronouncement talked about the importance of sports in individual communities, citing “the transformative co-curricular impact that intercollegiate athletics provides not just for our studentathletes, but all of our respective communities in the states of California and Hawaii.” Big West officials went on to promise a phased-in approach to giving their fall sports (soccer, golf and cross country) approval to play: “We intend to use this time not just for our medical professionals to move forward, but ... as a conference to progress in accordance with the health and safety recommendations currently in hand. “This will, no doubt, look a bit different throughout the conference as we direct each of our 11 campuses to guide a customized, phased-in return plan that best fits both the nature of their respective fall sports and the current CDC, state departments of health and local health agency guidelines most applicable to the geographic location in which they are located.” The Big West demands that each member university follow strict guidelines for sanitary use of equipment and the prudent gathering of athletes. Conference officials add the caveat that planning guidelines for proceeding may be interrupted, changed, pushed back in time or accelerated “in the best of circumstances.” Meanwhile, UCD awaits word from state and county officials regarding the protocols it submitted to allow student-athletes to begin individual, voluntary workouts. The NCAA said last month that member schools could begin such sessions on June 1, provided all regional public-health guidelines were met. “We are hopeful for fall competitions,” says the BWC communiqué, adding: “But we are cautious.” — Reach sports editor Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet41@gmail.com. or call 530-320-4456.

When the world is right, Davis schools graduate Andrew Superak can be found bouncing between Blue Devil sports — a sprained wrist needs ice, ankles need taping before the big game, consultation is required before sending somebody back into action. Davis High has more than 25 varsity sports with 1,200-plus athletes. On a slow day, 29-year-old Superak has plenty to do. But all that attention is usually coming via a hands-on approach, face-to-face. However, since March, the majority of injuries have been to psyches. Workouts have turned to virtual discussions. Now the thought of those hands-on sessions sends shivers down the spines of public-health officials. Still, Superak soliders on ... ensuring that DHS coaches have enough information to help their athletes through isolated training. He remains on call to answer questions just in case a knee gets twisted or a shoulder pops out of place. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Superak figures Blue Devils athletes are going about their training in good stead — nonetheless champing at the bit for the green light to get back together again. “(The athletes) will probably be working all summer and doing a pretty good offseason program (through) the coaches,” says the Cortland

(New York) College graduate. But what about those who aren’t keeping their heads down, those who need teammates to push them through the workouts? “The ones that just show up that (first day of practice), they’re not going to be ready … and probably less ready than in normal years because nobody is playing outside; not playing basketball, playing football or soccer. There’s just no recreational activity going on,” Superak reports. And with sports like football having no spring camp or summer passing leagues, are the chances increased that fall could see an uptick in injuries because of that sparce physical activity? “With a lack of restructure, I think there will be an increase in injuries. I hope not, but yeah,” the trainer explains. Working out together in numbers is usually more
productive than training alone, Superak believes, adding: “I found for myself, if I’m alone, I’m not going to do everything (suggested). But if there are people there, or if there’s a time set up, that means I’m showing up. “People want to be a part of that camaraderie, that competitiveness. If you’re there with your friends, you want to push harder than the next person.” With the end of the school year, right now is normally a dead period for Superak — and when he has time on his hands, he knows what to do with it. “I like to just get out, get away from the city,” says the dedicated hiker and camper who occasionally convinces his girlfriend Jamie Ralph (also a prep trainer) to go with him. Every summer Superak heads to Montana or Wyoming. Trips to the Sierras also dot his spring calendar.
But most of the time, Superak is dedicated to ensuring the health and safety of the legions of Blue Devils who have earned almost 140 section championships — more than any other school in the region. “Andrew has been an invaluable asset to the athletes of Davis schools,” DHS Athletic Director Jeff Lorenson told The Enterprise. “Andrew deeply cares for the ... well being of all our athletes and has an amazing relationship with coaches, athletes and their parents. He’s vital to (everyone) making safe and sound decisions.” Superak says maybe someday he’ll move from Davis, even from California. And given his athletic-training degree, he says he could move on to a college. But for now — as Superak enters his fifth year training at his hometown high school — he’s happy to be a Blue Devil.
What will become of prep sports?
A
lthough we’re just finishing up a school year that will be memorable for all the things that didn’t happen, folks are already wondering what will become of organized sports a couple of months from now when the 2020-21 school year kicks off at the high school and university level. Tentative plans are being made, but as we’ve seen on many occasions since this pandemic hit full force in March, those plans can turn on a dime. Even as things have loosened up, we are being told to continue to wear face masks and keep our distance. Some folks are following those guidelines religiously. Others not so much. Some not at all. In Placer County, for instance, confirmed coronavirus cases spiked 33 percent one recent week, but not a single case was in the over-65 age category. There were, however, 44 new cases among those 18 to 49 and nine new cases in those under the age of 17. According to my friend Joe Davidson of The Sacramento Bee, one of the great sportswriters in America, the high school sports scene in nearby districts might look drastically different this fall. If school started today in schools in the greater Sacramento area, some sports would be allowed with possible modifications for social distancing, and some sports would be banned altogether. The allowed sports would be swimming, diving, tennis, golf, cross country, cheerleading and track and field. Not all of those are fall sports. I’m not sure how you can hold a serious cross country meet, which sometimes has large clusters of runners packed closely together, all of them breathing heavily.

If you tell everyone they have to stay 6 feet apart, it pretty much guarantees that the first person in the lead will be the eventual winner. I suppose you could take a group of 50 runners and have seven or eight staggered starts, then simply compare times, but that’s a lousy way to determine a winner. Then again, it’s better than not running at all. Track has similar problems in the running events, but proper social distancing should be possible in most field events. Golf would be the easiest sport to conduct with minimal modifications. Maybe we could combine cross country and golf — call it Sprint Links — by requiring players to race to their respective balls on the course after teeing off. This would actually benefit those golfers who are notoriously short with their driver. Tennis, too, should be a snap. Just don’t allow players to shake hands at the end of the match and all will be well. On the flip side if school started today, sports that would not be played include football, basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, water polo and wrestling. That’s quite a lineup, with hundreds of participants left out in the cold. Wrestling and football are two contact sports that can’t be played without

significant modifications that would make them unrecognizable. In fact, I’d put them in the impossible category. Basketball is theoretically a noncontact sport that in reality has all kinds of contact. That’s why the referees have whistles. An added problem for basketball is that it is played indoors, with no breeze to blow the pesky virus away. I think there might be a chance to play volleyball if there were four players on the court instead of six, but again, the indoor venue would be a problem. High schools may have to go to outdoor beach volleyball until the pandemic passes. Soccer has contact, but not so much that it’s not manageable with some modest adjustments. As for baseball, there’s actually very little contact, though there is close quarters between the batter, the catcher and the home plate umpire.
W
e should always remember, however, that sports are not just fun and games. They, along with a wide variety of other extra-curricular activities, are a vital part of a meaningful education, right up there with reading, writing and arithmetic. Choir is important, the marching band is important, dramatic arts are important, orchestra is important, student government is important, student clubs that advocate for a variety of causes are important, the school newspaper is important, yearbook is important, and on and on and on. The more activities the better. We need to save as many of them as we safely can to give all of our kids the quality education they deserve. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@ davisenterprise.net.
