COVID cases continue surge Council

approves budget

Nail salons to reopen today BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer A spike in new coronavirus cases this week caused Yolo County to exceed one of the state’s attestation metrics for epidemiological stability — the number of new cases over the last 14 days. The benchmark for Yolo County, based on total population, is no more than 55 new cases over the last two weeks. The county has now reported 87 new cases during that time frame. However, that will not cause recently opened activities to close, and new businesses — including nail salons — were given the OK to open their doors today. “Exceeding one metric does not mean there is an automatic rollback,” said county public information officer Jenny Tan, “but it does mean Yolo County will be reviewing case data, including the source of community spread infections, to target communication to those most affected and determine if other protective measures are necessary to slow the spread of COVID-19.” The county’s test positivity rate — another attestation metric —

With 1,366 tests conducted in the last week and 62 positive test results, the test positivity rate was 4.54 percent. For the pandemic as a whole, the positivity test rate has been 3.42 percent. Counties that do not meet either threshold — total cases in the last two weeks or test positivity rate — are placed on the state’s watch list. At that point,

the California Department of Public Health reaches out to provide counties with technical assistance and support, Tan said. However, being on that list does not trigger any pullbacks or further restrictions. Yolo County reported 26 new cases of the novel coronavirus on Wednesday, the highest oneday total since the pandemic began, and 11 more cases on Thursday. Supervisor Jim Provenza of

UC leaders cheer Supreme Court DACA decision UC Davis Chancellor Gary S. May and the University of California Board of Regents each released statements Thursday applauding the United States Supreme Court’s long-awaited decision on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program. The program allows undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children to work in the U.S. and shields them from deportation. On Thursday morning, the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration cannot proceed with its plan to end the program, which currently offers protections to about 700,000 young people. “This ruling is a huge relief to so many valued members of our

Davis had said Wednesday that contact tracing was continuing on the recently confirmed cases “and we will look closely to see if any of the recent re-openings have contributed to the alarming increase in cases.” But according to the county on Thursday, most of those cases were due to social and family gatherings as well as some workplace exposures

A nationwide call to redirect local funding from traditional police activities to expanded mental health care and social services echoed through Tuesday’s Davis City Council meeting. Nearly 80 people called in to the Zoom meeting to urge the council to reduce the budget proposed for the Davis Police Department. That budget, like nearly all city department budgets this year, contains funding cuts due to significantly reduced city revenues, but many callers contended the cuts should go further. The department is looking at a cut of almost $1 million, largely through the elimination of a number of currently vacant positions, as the city grapples with a budget deficit caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. City Council members said they were supportive of the call for reforms — calls that have grown more urgent in the wake of the death

Planning Commission recommends council put DISC project on ballot BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY

most recently, the DISC.

Enterprise staff writer

Developers — Ramco Enterprises, the Buzz Oates Group and Reynolds & Brown — say the project would provide much-needed research and innovation space to businesses emerging from UC Davis, thousands of local jobs to graduates and other Davis residents and increase the city’s housing supply.

The Davis Planning Commission voted unanimously Wednesday to recommend the City Council place the Davis Innovation and Sustainability Campus on the November ballot. The council will decide whether to do so at its next meeting on June 30. Nearly a decade in the making, the proposal has morphed over the years into what will now be before the council: 2.64 million square feet of business and innovation space as well as 850 residential units on the northeast corner of Mace Boulevard and Interstate 80. The project’s name has changed over the years as well, from the Mace Ranch Innovation Center to the Aggie Research Campus to,

Others say the project will bring increased traffic congestion to the Mace Boulevard/I-80 interchange area while taking agricultural land out of production and without a guarantee that the types of companies developers say will locate there actually will. Several planning commissioners expressed those concerns on

Briefly Alameda couple dead in crash An Alameda couple have been identified as the victims of a solo fatal vehicle collision that occurred Monday southeast of Winters. Officers from the Solano-area California Highway Patrol reported Thursday that the couple were in a 1990 Ford F-150 pickup that was traveling northbound on Interstate 505 south of Putah Creek Road when the crash occurred at an unknown time. “The Ford turned right, off the roadway, across the shoulder, through a chain link fence and into an orchard,” where the truck struck a tree, the CHP reported in a news release. Solano County coroner’s officials identified the driver as Michael Pascua, 72; and the passenger as Fely Pascua, 71, both of whom were discovered deceased inside the Ford, according to the CHP. The cause of the collision remains under investigation, though the CHP noted that alcohol is not believed to be a factor. Anyone with information is asked to contact the CHP’s Solano office at 707-428-2100 or 1-800-TELL-CHP (800-835-5247).

Eleven-word reflections of our lives W hen I resurrected the old 11-word essay contest last month, I had no idea where the events of the day would take us and how they would affect the feelings of the people in this town. “How can it be hard to allow another human to breathe?” asks Bob S. “George Floyd — an unlikely but authentic hero who changed the world,” adds Ann. Words to ponder as we observe and celebrate this Juneteenth in the Year of Our Lord, 2020. Notes Cathy, who has served as the Conscience of Davis for many years now, “Being kind, compassionate, patient and loving is allowed during this pandemic.” Amen to that. Jenn writes, “Only together will we survive this difficult, lonely and challenging time,” while Bobby says that “My mask equals respect, I will do my part with enthusiasm.” My friend Rick tossed in three distinct entries, beginning with “Let us work together to create hope and opportunity for all.”

Then he adds, “Serving the needs of others is the only legitimate business today.” And finally, “Why just make a living when you can make a difference?” Thanks Rick, the Large Judging Body (see above) is nodding appreciatively and counting your entries as you approach the limit of 100 entries per person. The hard part for all of Davis’ highly educated folks is keeping their sheer brilliance to 11 words. Not one word more, not one word less. Curtis steps forth with “Middleage: Believing everything will feel back to normal in three weeks.” Mary offers “My Irish Catholic father hopes I win Bob’s contest

once again.” With a good Irish Catholic name like Mary, Mary, you stand a fighting chance. I’m sure my Irish Catholic father is now rooting for you, too. Notes George, “Sister James Immaculata taught me that you don’t have to count any word with less than three letters.” Have Sister submit her entry and then we’ll talk.

llegra, who knows a thing or two about poetry, notes, “Politicians and good poets need the same tools: revise, revise, revise.” Asks Kate: “How lucky are we to have a city such as thee?” Indeed. Says John, twisting his tongue: “Fly to flea: ‘Fly.’ Flea to fly: ‘Flee.’ So they flew.” Let me grab my migraine medicine before we go on, John. Kathy claims, “We moved from Virginia for grandchildren hugs, but back to Face Time.” Belinda hits a high note with her “Individual freedom — yes, but in peaceful coexistence with justice for all.”

Trudi brags proudly on her son when she writes, “Parent of a 2020 graduate: pride, wistfulness, uncertainty, joy and hope.” Jerry apparently spends his days “playing, picking, grinning, strumming, listing songs I can sing by heart.” John, noting the swell prize of lunch at Burgers and Brew that goes to the winner, says, “For me, what I want is my burger with curly fries.” William confuses me to no end with his: “When the future becomes the past the present will be unlocked.” Say that again, William. Martha offers a great definition with, “Distance learning — WebEx meetings filled with suddenly silent, blank-faced students.” I’m hearing that a lot, Martha. And finally, Lena speaks for many when she notes, “This mask musses up my hair and doesn’t match any of my outfits.” Well said, Lena. Well said, everyone. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

Yolo court system sticks with VCE marks two years of operation emergency bail schedule Special to The Enterprise During these trying times, it’s more important than ever to take note of the good news that’s worth celebrating. “Please join us as we mark the anniversary of Valley Clean Energy,” said Don Saylor, chairman of the board of directors of the nonprofit public agency and a Yolo County supervisor. “We’re two years strong as of June 1, and it’s all because of you, the VCE customers who support us in taking charge of our clean energy future.” People who suffer from asthma and other lungrelated conditions have been hit especially hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, so cleaning up the air in California has become even more important for everyone. “That’s just what VCE has been doing these past two years, by offering people cleaner, greener electricity and an option for 100% carbon-free power,” added Dan Carson, VCE’s board vice-chair and a member of the Davis City Council. “And we’ve only just begun.” VCE has encountered its share of curveballs in the past 24 months, especially as PG&E declared bankruptcy and initiated temporary power shut-offs as part of a public safety strategy, and COVID-19 has kept us all at home. Despite these challenges, the VCE team has worked hard to achieve its goals: ■ Cleaner, less-polluting electricity: In the past two years, VCE exceeded its targets for renewable energy and carbon-free power; ■ Choice for everyone: The agency — which serves the cities of Woodland and Davis as well as the unincorporated portion of Yolo County — expanded to include the city of Winters, where service will begin in 2021; ■ Fiscal responsibility: $1.5 million in start-up loans from the participating government agencies were paid back well ahead of schedule; ■ Emission-free driving: A $2.9 million SACOG grant will bring an extensive electric vehicle charging network to Yolo County; ■ Local control: VCE is governed by a local board of directors and took steps to acquire PG&E distribution assets to reduce customer costs while

concurrently improving safety and reliability; ■ Reinvestment in local communities: VCE has committed to renewable energy contracts close to home and is working to secure more; and ■ Nonprofit and for the people: VCE does not have shareholders, keeping the benefits focused on its customers. “All of these achievements were made without costing customers one cent more than they’ve been paying PG&E,” Saylor said. “That’s the power of notfor-profit local control fighting for our customers and communities. We believe that’s worth celebrating. “We’ve stood together to accomplish some great things in the past two years, and our plans for the future are even more ambitious. We believe they’re achievable.” Added Carson, “The temporary lockdown has been an eye-opener when it comes to pollution levels of every kind. We need to use this momentum to refocus on climate gains as we move forward.” — Valley Clean Energy is a not-for-profit public agency formed in June 2018 to provide electrical generation service to customers in Woodland, Davis, and the unincorporated areas of Yolo County. The city of Winters is VCE’s newest member.

Special to The Enterprise

After a week of receiving input from justice partners, civic leaders and members of the community, the judges of Yolo Superior Court voted unanimously to maintain the emergency bail schedule adopted by the Chief Justice on April 6. Presiding Judge Samuel T. McAdam offered the following comments on the decision: “We believe that the current bail schedule is working well here in Yolo County and as a matter of public health, we should stay the course. It is not lost on the judges that while state and federal

prisons and some jails throughout California have been hotspots of Covid-19 outbreaks, we have so far avoided it here. “The Yolo legal community is safe, and because of that we have a fully operational courthouse where we can provide fair and timely justice. “Under the Chief Justice’s schedule, bail is set in all cases where an individual is charged with a serious and violent felony or charged with a delineated specific crime, such as domestic violence or driving under the influence. Zero bail, where an arrestee is booked and released, only applies to

low-level felony and misdemeanor charges. “Importantly, if an arresting police officer believes that there is a public safety risk, the officer can ask a judge to set or enhance bail. This may be particularly appropriate where an arrestee has multiple pending cases or was arrested while already being supervised by the Probation Department. Making an individualized determination based on credible information is the best way to assess the risk. “The emergency bail schedule will remain in effect during the state of emergency or further order of the court.”

Tuleyome offers online presentation Special to The Enterprise Much of California land, both public and private, is rangeland, grazed or available for grazing. What exactly is rangeland? How do you know when rangeland is overgrazed ... or undergrazed? What happens when invasive species comes to town? Where does fire fit in? What is the best way to manage rangeland for the benefit of the long-term sustainability of the land? There is new knowledge to help answer these questions. Join Julea Shaw and Grace Woodmansee from the UC Rangelands network at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 25, to learn about the interesting and important science of range management. This lecture will be online in a Zoom meeting. Register on the Tuleyome

Your registration fee and fundraising efforts help the Davis Phoenix Coalition sustain our education and advocacy programs, as well as assist with the funding and development of a resource center, to support the LGBTQ+ and ally residents of the city of Davis and surrounding areas. The Davis Pride planning committee is excited to announce that we have once again partnered with On Your Mark Events to assist with the promotion, planning and execution of this year's event.

On March 10, 2013, local Davis resident Lawrence “Mikey” Partida was the victim of a brutal hate-crime, targeted for his sexuality. An avid long-distance runner, Mikey relied on his love for running to help get him through the months of physical therapy and rehabilitation that were required after his assault, and back to his life. As a result, the Run/Walk for Equality was created as a way to honor and commemorate the experiences of those whose lives have been forever changed by bigotry and intolerance. The Davis Phoenix Coalition board of directors and the Davis Pride planning committee invites runners and walkers alike to help raise awareness about the ongoing efforts needed by communities to prevent hate-motivated crimes. Your participation in the fifth annual Run/Walk for Equality will help to build a safer and more inclusive community in the city of Davis and surrounding communities.

Dogs just may be getting used to this PAWS FOR THOUGHT

BY EVELYN DALE Special to The Enterprise

s the country opens up during the coronavirus pandemic, people are heading back to work or considering vacation plans. What about pets? While cats and many other pets may not notice or may be relieved to have a bit more quiet time, dogs miss their people. Here are a few tips to help dogs adjust. Develop a routine similar to the one before stay-at-home orders. For example, leave your dog home alone for an hour or more several times a week. When home, have your dog stay in a separate room or behind a pet/baby gate from time to time. Have someone you trust spend quality time with your dog while you’re gone. That person can then help on an as-needed basis when you return to work. Added bonus? This person might care for your pup when you go on vacation. Training, enrichment activities, and calming tools also help dogs cope with time alone. Reinforce calm behaviors with “go settle” or “relax” cues and work on positive crate training — https://positively.com/dog-behavior/ basic-cues/. Introduce your dog to interactive feeding toys, such as Kongs filled with tasty treats. Hide treats in the house or yard; then let

Once your dog knows what to do, use a word or phrase indicating you’ll be back, give it a food toy or hide treats and leave. Background noise from a radio playing softly, a white noise machine, or a water fountain as well as calming scents from pheromones or an article of your clothing may help too. Remember the gift of love and attention. Every dog needs a home environment that’s safe and secure with or without you. So give your pup plenty of loving attention when you’re home and be calm

Pets of the week Special to The Enterprise Lots of animals are waiting for “forever homes” at the Yolo County Animal Shelter, 2640 E. Gibson Road in Woodland. Among them is Ben (A180963), is a 7-year-old pitty mix male who was found lost in the country. He is known as Gentle Ben at the shelter because he has a such sweet personality. He is looking for a family who will enjoy his chill nature.

Ben

Also looking for a good home is Archie (A180922), a very goofy 5-year-old male pitty mix with dreamy eyes. Archie is a pretty mellow and easygoing pup. He wants to sit and let you take pictures for a treat and loves to give kisses. All shelter animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed or neutered. The shelter is closed to the public for nonemergencies but staff is

and reassuring when you leave. If your dog has or has had separation anxiety in the past, work on the problem while still home. Begin by giving your dog a food toy filled with tasty treats. Leave the house but stay nearby — out of sight but within hearing. In a few minutes, return. If your dog is calm, gradually extend the time you’re gone. If your dog panics during this process, reduce your “away time” until it’s calm during your absence. A security camera or webcam can help observe a dog’s behavior while it’s alone.

Come by 10 a.m., as it takes at least an hour to meet and adopt a dog; everyone who will be living with the dog should come out to meet it.

The funny thing is, while we decided to get a dog for my wife and me, Foxy has fallen in love with my 19-year-old son, Logan. The sun rises and sets with him.” Foxy is one lucky pup to have found a family that loves her unconditionally and is helping her become everyone’s “best friend.” — Evelyn Dale of Davis is a volunteer and advocate for shelter animal welfare.

Please note: Due to the Governor’s directive and CPUC’s ongoing efforts to protect customers and community members during COVID-19, the CPUC may determine that there will be no in-person physical location for the evidentiary hearings and may instead hold them through other means such as via internet or via phone participation. Hearings may also be rescheduled by the Judge or cancelled if they are no longer deemed necessary. Therefore, please monitor the CPUC’s daily calendar (located at www.cpuc.ca.gov) for any changes relating to the evidentiary hearings and the manner in which they will be held. ABOUT THE APPLICATION The 2019 CEMA application was filed on September 13, 2019. The scope of the application is thirteen catastrophic events, including multiple wildfires and a storm spanning from mid-2017 through 2018. This application does not include the 2015 Butte Fire, 2017 North Bay Fires or the 2018 Camp Fire. If the CPUC approves this application, PG&E will begin to recover costs in electric and gas rates beginning January 1, 2021. PG&E is proposing the recovery of costs and any rate increase to mostly occur over one year starting in 2021, with smaller amounts recovered in 2022. The application seeks recovery of $159.3 million for costs related to PG&E’s 2017 and 2018 fire and storm emergency response.

HOW WILL THE APPLICATION AFFECT ELECTRIC RATES? Most customers receive bundled electric service from PG&E, meaning they receive electric generation, transmission, and distribution services. Based on rates currently in effect, the bill for a typical residential customer using 500 kWh per month would increase from $118.05 to $119.41, or 1.1%. Actual impacts will vary depending on energy usage.

After their beloved minpin passed in January, Randy and Veronica Green began looking to adopt another dog for themselves but soon discovered their newly adopted dog, Foxy, had other ideas when it came to favorites. Foxy, a sweet, sensitive dog, cowered in her shelter kennel until Julie Torchio fostered her. Shortly thereafter, Foxy was adopted. Julie relates, “While the first two weeks went very well, someone in the household violated her trust. In about 24 hours she became fearful of the household adults. The family was coached in dog body language and handling but decided this was too difficult.” Scooter’s Pals rescued Foxy and Julie continued giving her appropriate socialization and positive behavioral training. Then on April 29, Julie posted, “Foxy found a lovely perfect family! Sometimes three times really is the charm! Thank you Green family!” Randy Green wrote on June 11, “Foxy has been

Another category of nonbundled customers is Departing Load. These customers do not receive electric generation, transmission, or distribution services from PG&E. However, these customers are required to pay certain charges by law or CPUC decision. The impact of PG&E’s application on these customers is an average increase of 0.5%. HOW WILL THE APPLICATION AFFECT GAS RATES? Bundled gas customers receive transmission, distribution, and procurement services from PG&E. Based on rates currently in effect, the gas bill for a typical residential customer averaging 34 therms per month would increase from $53.56 to $53.59, or 0.05%. CPUC PROCESS This application has been assigned to a judge, who will consider proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process. The judge will issue a proposed decision which may adopt PG&E’s application, modify it, or deny it. Any CPUC Commissioner may sponsor an alternate decision. The proposed decision, and any alternate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon by the CPUC Commissioners.

SURGE: Officials try to be vigilant From Page A1 and travel. “There has not yet been evidence of transmission in Yolo County related to recently reopened activities,” the county said in a press release Thursday morning. “Given this current information, the county will allow personal services to resume as stated by the state.” Those services include nail salons, spas offering massages and skin care, and tattoo parlors, all of which were given the OK to reopen beginning Friday. Y2K Nails and Spa on G Street was ready to go this week, with plastic partitions now separating customers receiving manicures and pedicures from the aestheticians. Fewer manicure tables allow for more physical distancing between customers as well. Even before this week’s spike in numbers, the county has been urging residents to take precautions to prevent further spread. “With increasing numbers of locally confirmed (COVID-19) cases, Yolo County is reinforcing the importance of social distancing and limiting social gatherings,” the county said in a press release Wednesday morning. Noting Father’s Day this weekend as well as warmer weather, the county asked residents “to continue to social distance and reduce close contact, such as hugging or shaking hands, with people from other households, including family members and friends.” Said Provenza, “Let’s honor our fathers and other family members by not exposing them to a virus that could make them very sick or cause them to die.” “Remember,” said Provenza, “if you are young and healthy you might have the virus without suffering any symptoms, but you can spread it to others who will.” Recent family gatherings in Woodland and Winters were cited by several county officials, including Supervisor Don Saylor of Davis, in a separate message put out on social media Tuesday. That message said the recent cases in Yolo County “have been overwhelmingly concentrated in the Latino community in Woodland and Winters.” “We’ve been asked to assist in spreading this message through our personal and professional networks on limiting social gatherings such as family reunions, home visits, quinceneras and other social events which members of our community may participate in,” the message said. Winters City Councilwoman Jesse Loren repeated that message

Wednesday. “I think people should know that in the data collected between June 2 and 16, in that 14-day period, 52 of 62 confirmed cases are Latinos,” she said. “We’re not blaming the victim,” said Loren. “Winters cares for all its residents and we need to protect our aging population that’s at high risk and we need to acknowledge that these numbers demonstrate that we need more protection, more concern and more care for the Hispanic population.” “I would like help from the community on this,” Loren said. “We need a kind way to share that we need to be vigilant. The virus isn’t gone and we need to take care of our families.” In the last two days, Woodland has reported 24 new cases while West Sacramento has reported seven and Davis and the Winters area each two. Young adults continue to comprise the largest caseload, with more than half of the 71 cases reported in the last week coming in individuals under the age of 34, including 10 under age 17 and 10 between the ages of 18 and 24. Overall, the county has now reported 302 COVID19 cases as well as 49 hospitalizations and 24 deaths. More than 8,800 tests have been conducted in the county since the pandemic began.

Given the increase in cases tied specifically to family gatherings that include family members from different households, the county continues to urge residents not to let their guards down. “It is important not to become complacent,” said Yolo County Supervisor Gary Sandy of Woodland, who chairs the Board of Supervisors. “The virus is still alive and well and shows no signs of abating,” Sandy said. “Many of the recent Yolo County cases are from people gathering in groups and ignoring social distancing or face coverings. Protect yourself. Protect your family. Protect others. Use common sense and follow medically established guidelines to prevent the virus from spreading.” Meanwhile the following businesses are free to reopen on Friday: ■ Skin care and cosmetology services ■ Electrolysis ■ Nail salons ■ Body art, tattoo parlors and piercing shops ■ Massage Additionally, the county on Thursday approved youth sports for training and practices but no tournaments or games are allowed for now. — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@ davisenterprise.net.

students and 1,700 DACA recipients studying at UC campuses. As the plaintiff in the Supreme Court case, the University of California has played a major role in the fight to preserve DACA. In 2017, after the Trump administration abruptly terminated the program, the UC Board of Regents filed a lawsuit in federal court against the administration for unconstitutionally violating the rights of the university and its students by scrapping DACA on “nothing more than unreasoned executive whim.” The Trump administration’s failure to provide a reason for ending the program proved pivotal in the Supreme Court’s decision. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said the government’s justifications were “arbitrary and capricious” and violated the Administrative Procedure Act. While court’s decision gives some reprieve, for now, to hundreds of thousands of DACA recipients — or Dreamers — it stops short of guaranteeing lasting protections for them. “We do not decide whether DACA or its rescission are sound policies,”

Notice of Public Hearing and Notice of Availability of the Final SEIR The City of Davis City Council will conduct a public hearing on the project application, as described below, at a meeting beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, JUNE 30, 2020 in the Community Chambers, City Offices, 23 Russell Boulevard, Davis, California. In accordance with Executive Order N-33-20 and N-29-20, this meeting may be conducted electronically or by teleconference, without a physical location from which members of the public may observe and offer public comment. Information on how to observe the meeting and offer public comment electronically or telephonically will be included in the meeting agenda. Please contact the City Clerk’s Office or Community Development and Sustainability Department for the approximate time this item will be heard. Project Name: Davis Innovation & Sustainability Campus (DISC) (Formerly Aggie Research Campus and Mace Ranch Innovation Center) Project Location: The annexation area is located northeast of Mace Boulevard and Interstate 80, on both sides of County Road (CR) 32A, within unincorporated Yolo County, east of the City of Davis city limits. The approximately 229-acre annexation area consists of: • 187-acre privately-owned DISC site (Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 033-630-009 and 033-650-009); • 25-acre City owned Parcel (APN 033-650-029-6); • 16.5-acre Mace Triangle site (APNs 033-630-006; -011; and -012). Property Owners/Applicant: Ramco Enterprises, Inc. Buzz Oates R&B Delta III City of Davis

Environmental Determination: The Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) (SCH # 2014112012) for the Aggie Research Campus (ARC) Project was available for review beginning JUNE 1, 2020. The Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SCH#2014112012) evaluating the environmental impacts has been prepared for the project pursuant to CEQA requirements and will be reviewed for a recommendation to City Council. The SEIR identifies significant impacts for the following California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental topic areas: Aesthetics and Visual Resources; Agricultural and Forest Resources; Air Quality; Biological Resources; Cultural Resources; Geology, Soils, and Mineral Resources; Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy; Hazards and Hazardous Materials; Hydrology and Water Quality; Land Use and Urban Decay; Transportation and Circulation; Utilities; and Cumulative Impacts related to several of the foregoing topic areas. However, the SEIR includes mitigation measures that would reduce impacts related to Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology, Soils, and Mineral Resources, Energy, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Watery Quality, Land Use and Urban Decay, Utilities, and select areas of Cumulative Impacts to a less-than-significant level. The SEIR determined that the project would have certain impacts to Aesthetics and Visual Resources, Agricultural and Forest Resources, Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Transportation and Circulation, and Cumulative Impact areas that would remain significant and unavoidable even after implementation of the feasible mitigation measures set forth in the SEIR. Furthermore, as this is a Subsequent EIR, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the environmental document also compares the ARC Project to the originally proposed Mace Ranch Innovation Center (MRIC) Project, in order to identify whether the above-noted significant impacts are new or substantially increased in severity, when compared to the MRIC Project.

Outdoor living: Between playgrounds closing and parks becoming overcrowded, many of us are turning to our balconies, patios and backyards for fresh air and nature.

Pollinators are an important part of gardens Special to The Enterprise A thriving backyard garden requires homeowners to take steps to ensure the garden has the best environment in which to grow and thrive. The right tools and components, including trowels, rakes, soil, amendments, and fertilizer, can help gardeners create beautiful spaces. It’s also important that pollinators are made to feel welcome in the garden. The United States Department of Agriculture reports that one-third of all agricultural output depends on pollinators. The USDA notes that insects and other animal pollinators are vital to the production of healthy crops for food, fibers, edible oils, medicines, and other products. Pollinators also are essential for maintaining habitats and ecosystems that many wild animals rely on for food and shelter. The U.S. Forest Service says that,

METRO CREATIVE

without pollinators, the human race and all of the earth’s terrestrial ecosystems would not survive. Pollination done the natural way often yields large, flavorful fruits. Pollinators are make-or-break components of large-scale agriculture, and they’re just as important in private home gardens. The Pollinator Partnership, an organization that works to protect pollinators and their habitats across North America, says pollinators include bees, butterflies,

beetles, birds, and bats. These animals travel from plant to plant carrying pollen on their bodies. The following are some ways to maintain healthy pollinator habitats. ■ Consider the soil and types of plants that will thrive in it before choosing what to plant. Fix drainage issues and plant with sunlight in mind. ■ Vary the colors and shapes of plants to attract a greater array of pollinators. Plant flowers close to vegetable gardens to attract pollinators. ■ Group plants together when planting to more effectively attract pollinators. ■ Select plants that flower at different times of the year so that nectar and pollen sources are available yearround. ■ Whenever possible, choose native plants. — Metro Creative

BUDGET: ‘Not a static document’ DISC: Planners say project From Page A1 of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer — but declined to take action on them Tuesday. Instead they called for discussion between city commissions — including Police Accountability, Human Relations and Social Services — and the county on how to refocus funding and efforts down the line and also noted the budget resolution approved unanimously Tuesday is likely to be modified again. “Approval of a budget (tonight) is needed but a budget is not a static document,” said Councilman Lucas Frerichs. “This is the beginning of the conversation.” That’s in part because the budget approved Tuesday is based on assumptions on how the local economy will fare over the next six months as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. The shape and speed of economic recovery remains uncertain. The city’s coffers have taken a big hit thanks to a sharp decline in sales tax and transient occupancy tax revenues. The countywide shelter in place shuttered many local retail businesses and hotel stays, particularly from visitors to UC Davis, evaporated. The future remains uncertain with UC Davis indicating this week that campus will not reopen as usual in the fall, but instead with many classes online and fewer students living on campus. Those students are responsible for a lot of the spending that typically keeps downtown restaurants and bars in business and, in turn, provides revenue to the city. Meanwhile, large events on campus that would bring hundreds or thousands of visitors to Davis are still not allowed under the state’s health order. All of that, noted City Councilman Dan Carson, likely means the council will be revisiting budget matters sooner rather than later. “We need to be very cautious here,” he said. But given the sizable budget deficit facing the city, many public commenters urged the council to reduce funding for the

police department now. Among those calling in was Dillan Horton, a candidate for City Council who organized last weekend’s massive rally and march in downtown Davis. Horton called on the council “to better align the city budget with community priorities. “Already approved expenditures like the armored rescue vehicle and the recently approved police cameras should be reviewed by this council, I believe, both for fiscal practicality and alignment to community values,” he said. “At the end of the day, people in this community are reaching out to their government looking for a commitment to change the system. Tonight this council can take a step to demonstrate your commitment to make things different going forward.” The council last fall voted to appropriate $138,000 in public safety impact fees for the department to purchase an armored rescue van and more recently the department has requested $200,000 to purchase surveillance cameras for up to four major intersections, a request council members have supported. Those cameras were requested in response to an uptick in crimes in Davis, particularly robberies and carjackings, that police said involved individuals entering and exiting the city in stolen cars. Mayor Pro Tem Gloria Partida noted Tuesday that during the public hearing on those cameras, “we were hearing just as many comments from people saying we need to do something.” Frerichs was among those Tuesday night suggesting the cameras may need to go. “I personally would be willing to reexamine the need for those cameras and to take those dollars and move it in a different direction,” he said. Partida said she appreciated that suggestion. She said she also understands “all of the concerns that were mentioned by the many callers … around defunding the police department. “And I also understand the desire to do something. It’s very evident that people don’t just want us to explain to them why

ready for the next step

what we have done so far has been progress; they don’t want to know how much we are reducing the budget; they just want us to do something.” However, she said, “we should do this in a thoughtful and considerate way.” “I don’t want us to make a gesture, I don’t want us to just do one thing and say, ‘OK, we’ve done something.’ I do believe this is something that we do need input from the community around. “Because what if we do defund the police department by 50 percent? What would that do? Who would that affect? What problems would that really solve? We have no idea. We have no idea where our budget’s going to be in a few months either, so I think that … as we move forward, we need to move forward in a very, very thoughtful way,” Partida said. Mayor Brett Lee noted that, “nothing precludes us from passing the budget as is, as proposed, and actually working on what … a specific proposal would look like. “We’re not going to be able to figure that out tonight, but over the course of the next few weeks or months, I think we could probably have fairly well-vetted proposals that would be reasonable to come before council to figure out, ‘Do we want to reallocate funds?’” Councilman Will Arnold said whatever is decided on how best the city can equitably provide public safety to its residents, “it needs to be a community-driven process for it to have legitimacy and to be effective. “It wouldn’t be prudent of us to do it tonight, with the five of us,” he said.“This is a very serious issue and deserves our best effort here to address it proactively.” In addition to unanimously approving the budget resolution, the council also unanimously approved a motion by Frerichs to have city staff coordinate with city commissions and the county and return with a ideas and plans for adjusting the budget around the policing. —Reach Anne TernusBellamy ataternus@davisenter prise.net.Follow her on Twitter at @ATernusBellamy.

From Page A1 Wednesday but also said they believed that after so many public hearings and discussions and debate, the matter should be put before voters. If placed on the November ballot, DISC would mark the sixth time Davis residents cast a vote on a project under Measure J/R, the renewal of which will be on the November ballot as well. The City Council on Tuesday again committed to placing the “Citizens Right to Vote” ordinance before voters this year. First enacted in 2000 as Measure J, the initiative requires a vote of the people before land can be redesignated from agricultural or open space to any urban use. Measure J was renewed for another 10 years (as Measure R) in 2010 and is up for renewal again this year. Five Measure J/R votes have taken place in the last 15 years, with the first three failing. Those failures — of Covell Village in 2005; Wildhorse Ranch in 2009; and Nishi 1.0 in 2016 — prompted some in the community to suggest Measure J/R was doing more harm than good by essentially creating a barrier to new housing. But in 2018, voters approved two projects under Measure J/R votes: Nishi 2.0 and the West Davis Active Adult Community. As for DISC, some planning commissioners said they support the project while others said they had reservations but voted to recommend council approval nonetheless. “Like any project there are advantages and disadvantages and I feel in this particular case, the advantages are much more numerous than disadvantages,” said Commissioner Stephen Mikesell. Mikesell cited $5 million annually in net benefits to the city and the development of a high-tech research and development industry in Davis and praised the developers and city staff for their transparency, saying, “we understand what this project is going to be.” The disadvantages, he said, include taking ag land out of

production and changing the “geometry of the city” but said, “you need to accept those things are going to happen.” Commission chair Cheryl Essex also expressed her support for the project. “I’ve become convinced that this project is really needed now and part of the reason why is we’ve received so many written comments from organizations and people indicating how important it was to have (this) project,” Essex said. She cited such support from the Sacramento Area Council of Governments; Associated Students of UC Davis; the Davis Chamber of Commerce; and the Davis Downtown Business Association among others. “I’m very much in favor of this project,” Essex said. Other commissioners were more cautious. Commissioner Herman Boschken said there are too many hypotheticals about the project, from how many people who work at DISC will actually live there (thus mitigating traffic impacts), to the which businesses will actually locate there. “I’m willing to send this on to the council, but not without trepidation,” Boschken said. Commissioner Greg Rowe, who has been critical of many aspects of the project, said, “It’s time to put it on the ballot and let voters decide.” “We can debate this forever, whether it’s needed or not, but if does pass a Measure R vote, the measure of success will be whether it (gets financing).” “I’ve reached the same conclusion that other commissioners have reached,” said Commissioner Emily Shandy, who noted the many opportunities members of the community as well as city staff have had to weigh in and seek changes to the proposal by the developers. “At this point if this is the project they want to take before the voters and try their luck on the ballot, we should empower them to do that,” said Shandy. —Reach Anne Ternus-Bellamy ataternus@davisenterprise.net.

FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 2020

Keeping up the variety while sheltering B efore the lockdown, we went out to eat two or three times a week. Staying in* means planning seven dinners a week, which is a real challenge. Most of us have our usual 10 or so dinners that always turn out well and which everyone likes. That was fine when we could break things up with dinner with friends, takeout and restaurant visits, but it got old fast once we started to Shelter in Place. Add to that the difficulty in shopping and a reluctance to run out for a missing ingredient, and dinner becomes quite problematic. I have three little notebooks of handwritten recipes which span my adult life, plus two giant binders and one expanding file of recipes torn from magazines to try, and far too many cookbooks. We found that a pretty good formula for our household was to work in a couple of new recipes, one old recipe from the notebooks, several from the regular rotation and the inevitable leftover night. Most of the new recipes

* We don’t plan on eating at a restaurant any time soon but we have resumed takeout recently (hurrah for Tommy J’s, Mikuni, Dos Coyotes and Village Pizza.) Please over-tip at restaurants or for takeout if you can — you probably won’t miss a couple of extra bucks, and restaurant folks have been hit hard.

cook this dish by temperature.) When chops are done, remove to a warm plate, cover loosely with foil, and let stand while you make the gravy. To make gravy, sprinkle flour over the hot grease in the pan and stir it in with a fork. Very rarely, you may need to add additional oil to form a thick but fluid paste. Cook over low heat about 1 minute to take away the flour taste. Slowly add the milk, stirring all the while to avoid lumps. Cook over very low heat until thickened. Taste and adjust seasonings. Additional milk may be used to thin the gravy to your tastes.

were successful, and I’m working on refining them. You most likely make much the same regular rotation as I do (roast beast, stew, chili, burgers, tacos, chef ’s salad, mac n’ cheese, ho hum.) So what about those notebook recipes? Perhaps one of these will fit the bill at your house. — Visit https://thenewhomeec.blogspot.com/ for more recipes.

Stuffed Pork Chops I love milk gravy over mashed potatoes, so I’d add potatoes and a vegetable to this meal. If you like dried fruit, cherries or apricot are very nice added to the stuffing. Serves 2. Ingredients: 4 boneless pork chops 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon olive oil 1/3 cup onion, diced 2 stalks celery, sliced thin 8 white mushrooms, sliced thinly ½ teaspoon dried thyme salt to taste 2 tablespoons butter 2 cups diced day-old bread Milk, unmilk or stock to moisten the dressing For gravy: 2 tablespoons all purpose flour 1 cup or so milk

Baked Fish with Potatoes and Onions This is a gentle dish with a nice flavor, and even non-fish people usually like it. METRO CREATIVE PHOTO

Stuffed pork chops are a great change of pace. Putting it together: Trim fat from pork chops. Holding the pork chop on edge, cut a slit in the edge of the long side. Carefully enlarge the slit to make a pocket. Try to make the edges of the pocket as thin and even as possible. To make the stuffing, put the oil in a pan large enough to hold all the ingredients. Sauté the onion and celery for about two minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until they being to change color, another 3 minutes Add thyme and salt and sauté one minute more. Add butter. Turn the heat very low and add the bread, tossing to coat with the melted butter. Add sufficient milk or stock to moisten the dressing — you want the bread to

soften and stick together thoroughly, but not to be gummy. Heat a large, preferably cast-iron, skillet over medium heat.Add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Holding the pork chops slit-side down, press into hot skillet to sear edge with slit in it. Rotate chops and continue to brown edges until all have been partially cooked. (You may want to use tongs for this.) Fill pockets with hot stuffing, pressing it in well with the back of a spoon. Return chops to skillet and cook over medium-low heat, turning often, about 15 minutes, until both sides are well browned and meat is firm to the touch. (Owing to the variable thickness and the stuffing, it’s difficult to

Ingredients: 1½ pounds firm, white fish fillets (halibut, cod, or snapper) 2-3 russet potatoes 1 large onion 2 cloves garlic, minced 2/3 cup white wine 6 tablespoons cold cubed butter, divided 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill ¼ cup fine bread crumbs Salt and pepper to taste Putting it together: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Peel the potatoes and slice very very thinly. Peel the onion and slice very very thinly.Lightly butter a casserole dish. Fold the fish fillets in half if thin and place the fish in a row down the middle of the dish. Heap onions and potatoes to either side (some may intrude on the fish if necessary). Sprinkle garlic and 4 tablespoons butter evenly

over fish and vegetables. Salt and pepper lightly if desired. Pour wine into casserole and add enough water to come two-thirds of the way up the sides of mixture. Mix dill and 2 tablespoons butter with breadcrumbs and spread over top. Bake, uncovered, 40 minutes. Twice during the baking time, tilt the pan and spoon juices over the top to baste.

Chili Mac This is the only recipe my husband knew when I met him. It’s evolved a bit — nicer pasta and a little more spice — but is still pretty close to the original Serves 2. Ingredients: 1 teaspoon olive oil 1 onion, nicely chopped ¼ pound ground beef or substitute 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper flakes 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 can (14 ounces) tomato sauce 6 ounces uncooked pasta shapes (1 can sliced black olives) Grated Monterey Jack cheese Putting it together: Heat a large heavy skillet and add oil. Sauté onion 2 minutes.Add beef and cook until pink is gone. Add spices and garlic and sauté 30 seconds. Add tomato sauce.Cook over low heat 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. While tomato sauce is simmering, cook pasta according to package. When just done, use a slotted spoon to scoop into the pan with sauce. Add olives if using. Stir, cover and let rest a minute or two. Serve topped with cheese.

Are you able to taste the sea in a glass of wine?

uring my infrequent sojourns in the Midwest, I’ve ended up after a few days feeling claustrophobic to the point of mild panic: “What if I need to get to the ocean”? The possibility of ocean within a couple hours’ drive has always reassured me — of what, I’m not sure. I generally chalk it up to being born and raised in L.A. where “going to the beach” was always my escape hatch — from summer heat, oppressive home life or just plain boredom. When I come within a mile or two of the coast, I breathe in the salt air and the world rights itself. When I arrive, I walk barefoot in the sand and watch the waves, and my problems take their proper, insignificant place in the universe. So when I read that “salinity” has become “the new buzzword” in wine (according to the good folks at Kermit Lynch), I’m not at all surprised. “Tasting notes and bulletins — ours included — can’t help but laud a wine’s saltiness, while vignerons

everywhere are quicker than ever to point out thesalinitéof their own creations.” Salinity conjures sea — freedom, vastness, room to breathe — without having to surf or sail (skills I’ve never mastered) or even be there. Salinity is, again unsurprisingly, associated most with coastal wines, with coastal terroir. It’s entirely possible that grapes grown near the sea do acquire a certain taste of that vast body of salt water; it’s also possible that such is largely the product of our imaginations. This wine comes from the coast of France, we think, so it must have good salinity. In either case (and does it matter?) I, too, am a fan. As I draft this column, the thermometer registers over 100 degrees, so when I open the dinner bottle, I hope for that taste of the

DNT TXT N DRIVE

cool sea. And I choose my wine accordingly. Now if the bottle happens to contain as well a variety of grape I hadn’t heard of until last week, so much the better. And if it’s from a region almost equally unfamiliar, better still. Enter pošip (say poeship), a grape born and bred on the island of Korcula. And if you know where that is, your geography is a lot better than mine. The answer: Croatia. This particular bottle (called Pošip Special) comes from the Toreta winery; where winemaker Frano Banicevic carries on the tradition of his greatgrandfather who founded it. Because pošip is an early-ripening grape, high in sugar, many wines made from it are relatively high in alcohol, but this Special bottling comes from the younger vines, organically tended, grapes picked early, fermented entirely in stainless steel, and bottled unfiltered. It comes in at just 12.5%. And, yes, you can taste the sea. The tall, elegant bottle sports a lobster on the label — a hint that the contents pair particularly well with ocean creatures.

The locals drink it with shrimp and tomato pasta, eggplant, wild fennel — all things Mediterranean. I like it particularly with my new favorite quick dish, Caramelized Shallot and Anchovy sauce over linguine. But, being so bright with acidity and rounded out with good summer fruit, it does well with numerous other seasonal foods as well. And I wouldn’t hesitate to serve it on its own—you know for that big backyard bash you intended to host this month but had to cancel. Just get a bottle for yourself, sit outside, sip, and pretend. While “salinity” may be the current buzzword, it has long been known as a feature of Chablis. Chablis, located in the Burgundy region of France, is by no means coastal. The 150 billion-year-old soil there, though, is filled with oyster fossils from the time when the area was not just near the sea but under it. I grew up thinking of Chablis — made by Gallo and friends — as everyone’s go-to white, but no longer can a conglomeration of cheap grapes from California be called by that name. Now Chablis has to

come from Chablis and must, by law, be 100% chardonnay, the grape native to the region. Calling that $1.99 1960s sweetish drink Chablis has been outlawed in favor of the fine wine it tried to evoke. Buying a Chablis today will cost you between $25 to 30 — unless you want a premier cru, which start at $30-35, or a grand cru, which costs $100 and can go up to $1,000. More affordable is a petit Chablis, which comes from vineyards whose soil is a bit newer — maybe just over a billion years old — and has fewer fossils. Nevertheless, a good petit Chablis has a subtle salinity and wonderful, crisp, lively fruit (think apples and lemons). The Domaine Vincent Dampt, a good example, costs around $20. Made with indigenous yeast from 40-year old vines, it’s a lovely, food-friendly wine and a perfect antidote to oaky, buttery California

chardonnay. Here you can taste the grape rather than the oak and the too ripe fruit; and unlike those big California chards that range from 14-15% alcohol, this is only 12.5%. It would be a perfect companion to a warmweather dinner of early summer vegetable risotto or paella, a filet of sablefish from the Mendo coast, or just about anything seafood. (Both the Pošip and the Petit Chablis are available from The Pip Wine Bar in Dixon — which is now open. Check out the website for details — and delivery.) The moral of the story: don’t be afraid of salt — the miracle mineral that enhances everything it touches and reminds us that the sea endures.

YoloArts at Gallery 625 presents ‘Rhythms’ Special to The Enterprise “Rhythms” features the acrylic paintings of Ron Hall and watercolor paintings of Amy Green. The show opens June 22 and runs through Aug. 4 at YoloArts’ Gallery 625 in Woodland. The exhibition features the artwork of two artists who share the rhythms of color and movement while working in different styles and media. Hall creates art that uses vibrant, free-flowing color bordering on pop, abstract and surrealism, and loves to paint musicians and dancers, capturing the coloration, grace, movement and emotion of a performance in progress. After retiring from a career in the fire service, Hall returned to the study of art and earned degrees in art history and arts and humanities. He has taught art and is active in regional arts organizations, and currently serves on the Rancho Cordova Arts board of directors. “I am inspired to create art that captures people in an intimate moment or setting. Whether a musician, a ballerina, or a person sipping tea in the early hours of the morning — I love to create art with a sense of rhythm and flow,” Hall said in a recent statement. Green is a Northern California artist whose artwork includes watercolor paintings, intaglio etchings and

ink drawings. She received a master’s in fine art from California College of the Arts in film/video and performance art, and a bachelor’s degree in sculpture from California State University, Chico. In her artist statement, Green stated, “I love the intersection between nature, fantasy, science and spirit ... and to create odd or challenging surrealist work when I’m not making meditative abstract art. Having both satisfies my intellect as well as my spirit.” A video of the entire

exhibition, created by Tomas Montoya, will premier at yoloarts.org/onlinegalleries on Monday, June 22, and all artwork will be available for viewing in an online exhibition in the same location through Aug. 4. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, there will not be an opening reception. Artist talks will be filmed and available for viewing at yoloarts.org, featuring Hall’s talk in June and Green’s talk in July. Gallery 625 is in Yolo County’s administration building, at 625 Court St.

‘7500’ a story of a pilot’s worst nightmare Solid acting and clever script fuel this hijack drama BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic This is a nifty little thriller: great premise, taut execution and excellent use of its claustrophobic setting. It’s also a real-time nailbiter, and those aren’t easy to handle; tension must be sustained credibly. Director Patrick Vollrath pulls it off in his solid feature debut; he shares scripting duties with Senad Halilbasic. A prologue montage, monitoring activity at an airport security checkpoint, telegraphs what is to come: An overhead surveillance camera lingers briefly on several dodgy men, and we know we’re in for a hijacking. In the cockpit of a passenger aircraft, pilot Michael (Carlo Kitzlinger) and co-pilot Tobias (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) run through the pre-flight checklist for their short hop from Berlin to Paris. Friendly chatter is exchanged with Gökce (Aylin Tezel), Tobias’ flight attendant girlfriend; everything is routine. But not for long. Minutes after takeoff, Gökce brings Michael and Tobias some snacks; she knocks and stands outside the locked security door, waiting to be noticed via the monitor screen inside the cockpit. Michael flips the switch that unlocks the door … and that’s what three Muslim extremists have waited for. They rush forward, armed with knives improvised from broken glass; one yanks her aside, as the other two charge into the cockpit.

‘7500’ Wounded and trapped in the cockpit with an unconscious attacker, Tobias (Joseph GordonLevitt) nervously watches the cabin security monitor, waiting to see what the other two terrorists will do next.

Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Omid Memar, Carlo Kitzlinger, Aylin Tezel, Murathan Muslu, Paul Wollin and Aurélie Thépaut Rating: R, for violence, profanity and dramatic intensity The resulting skirmish is furious but brief. The leader, Kenan (Murathan Muslu), mortally wounds Michael, but is overpowered and knocked unconscious; despite getting a nasty slash on his left arm, Tobias forces the younger Vedat (Omid Memar) back out of the cockpit, and relocks the door. Michael succumbs to his injury; the distraught Tobias, acting on panic and adrenaline, pushes the body to one side, and ties Kenan to the captain’s chair. He then immediately radios the situation to Berlin air-traffic control (“Code 7500: unlawful interference”) and arranges an emergency landing in Hanover. Ah, but the terrorists haven’t given up. When it becomes clear that pounding on the security door is useless — the third man, Daniel (Paul Wollin), is absolutely terrifying on the black-andwhite monitor screen, as he goes into a berserker rage — they grab a passenger and threaten to kill him unless Tobias opens the door. The situation … develops from there. Aside from the gut-punch of what has gone down — most people these days have an instinctive fear of terrorist-on-plane scenarios — Vollrath and cinematographer Sebastian Thaler cleverly keep us in the cockpit with

Tobias. Aside from the initial airline terminal montage, the anxiety mounts further because we never leave this confined space. That makes this a “man in a can” movie, akin to 2002’s “Phone Booth” (Colin Farrell trapped by a sniper extortionist) and 2013’s “Locke” (Tom Hardy on a long and traumatic car drive). Sustaining tension in such a limited setting requires clever scripting, and “7500” pulls it off. Vollrath also makes excellent use of the overhead security monitor, which gives the increasingly desperate Tobias — helpless to intervene, while stuck in the cockpit — a horrific window into what’s taking place in the cabin. Vollrath clearly understands that the blurry figures shown on silent, monochromatic footage from an overhead security camera is unsettling even when the image is benign. During the flight’s initial moments — before we hit crisis mode — watching Gökce and fellow flight attendant Nathalie (Aurélie Thépaut) go about their routine chores somehow feels ominous … particularly

when the lower portion of the curtain, which separates them from the cabin, keeps twitching. Supervising sound editor Daniel Iribarren rattles our nerves even further. There’s no music score, which heightens the juxtaposition of well-placed silence, ambient noises and — as one quite disturbing example — the relentless thumps and thuds, as Daniel initially tries to batter down the security door. All of this would be mere smoke and mirrors without a solid protagonist; Gordon-Levitt delivers quite capably. As introduced, Tobias is soft-spoken and deferential: perhaps only recently promoted to co-pilot. Once confronted with the crisis that all pilots dread, he’s initially overwhelmed — who wouldn’t be? — and the panic on Gordon-Levitt’s face is palpable. But he quickly rallies, his expression becoming grimly resolute, as he capably follows protocols that must’ve been rehearsed repeatedly, during flight school. Then, of course, the situation turns dire with Daniel’s threat, and Tobias is put through sheer

hell; Gordon-Levitt persuasively sells the man’s heartbreaking agony, as he’s forced to watch the unwatchable, and weigh alternatives and impossible decisions. The story also focuses on Vedat, who — at just 18 — likely was persuaded to participate via appeals to idealism. But once things turn violent, he becomes a frightened and wholly overwhelmed teenager. Memar deftly navigates this transition, passion yielding to uncertainty and disillusionment. His role becomes more prominent in the third act when Vollrath and Halilbasic play their riskiest card: the one plot bump that viewers may not accept. Even so, “7500” remains a 92-minute nailbiter that moves briskly, via Hansjörg Weissbrich’s skillful editing. For a little film made on a modest budget of $5 million, it generates a lot of suspense. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http://derrick bang.blogspot.com.

‘The Lovebirds’: There’s not much to tweet about Good actors are wasted in this vulgar rom-com

‘The Lovebirds’

BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic Personality compensates for very thin material — to a modest degree — but that’s hardly enough to make this needlessly vulgar rom-com worth anybody’s time. “The Lovebirds” is little more than a two-person stand-up routine occasionally interrupted by plot. The script — blame Aaron Abrams, Brendan Gall and Martin Gero — aspires to be a profanity-strewn update of Martin Scorsese’s “After Hours,” but that dark comedy had a much sharper script (Joseph Minion, take a bow). Director John Landis’ “Into the Night,” which also arrived in 1985, covered similar territory: a whitecollar couple unexpectedly enduring a night of hell when circumstances prompt them to venture into dodgy, big-city neighborhoods laden with all manner of creepy individuals. The one fresh element here: Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani mine sharply perceptive humor from their racial heritage. Rae’s Leilani, in particular, gets a lot of comedic mileage from pointing out that white cops never would believe the increasingly convoluted mess that has ensnared them. Granted, Rae and Nanjiani are adept at well-timed

Having successfully evaded a killer — a second time — Leilani (Issa Rae) and Jibran (Kumail Nanjiani) attempt to blend with a typical crowd of New Orleans tourists. COURTESY PHOTO

The bickering is quite crude and offensive, which (much too frequently) is what passes for humor these days. Indeed, I wouldn’t be surprised if viewers bailed within the first 10 minutes. one-liners. But you won’t find much “acting” here; they essentially play themselves. Leilani is feisty, forthright and empowered; Nanjiani’s Jibran is a petulant, under-nourished

milquetoast who masks his physical insecurity with higher-education haughtiness. He’s been that guy many, many times before. The credits unspool over a meet-cute montage that turns them into a couple; after director Michael Showalter’s name appears, we leap forward three years, at which point Leilani and Jibran are inches from a spiteful separation. They’ve fallen into a rut, and sniping at each other is easier than working through it. The bickering is quite crude and offensive, which (much too frequently) is what passes for humor these days. Indeed, I wouldn’t be surprised if viewers bailed within the first 10 minutes of this Netflix original. In fairness, things improve. Marginally. (Not enough.) Showalter and Nanjiani are working way beneath their talents here;

their previous collaboration — 2017’s “The Big Sick” — is vastly superior. Anyway … En route to a dinner party with friends, verbally skewering each other along the way, Jibran takes his eyes off the road and smacks into a bicycle messenger. Justifiably horrified, Jibran and Leilani are surprised when the bloodied guy deflects their offer of assistance, regains his bike and pedals away. As the bewildered Jibran and Leilani get back in their car, it’s commandeered by a cop (Paul Sparks) who bellows “police business,” takes over the wheel and roars in pursuit of the cyclist. They eventually catch him, at which point the script adds “tasteless” to its repertoire. Gape-mouthed over what has just gone down — and regarded as murderers by witnesses whipping out cell phones — our hapless

couple goes on the run. With the cyclist’s phone in their possession. A-ha, they quickly realize: a clue. Perhaps a way out of this mess. Subsequent excursions into New Orleans’ mean streets involve encounters with various unsavory individuals. Anna Camp has fun as a trench-coated woman of mystery who attempts to torture information from Jibran with a pan of scalding bacon grease (and a horse). A bit later, our heroes break into an upper-story apartment, where a gaggle of college guys are busily stuffing glossy photographs into large manilla envelopes. Each stop grants Rae and Nanjiani a fresh opportunity to riff, before finding yet another clue that leads somewhere else. Everything ultimately climaxes — a deliberate choice of words — at a

Starring: Issa Rae, Kumail Nanjiani, Paul Sparks, Anna Camp, Betsy Borrego, Mahdi Cocci, Jaren Mitchell and Nicholas X. Parsons Rating: R, for violence, crude sexual content and relentless profanity bizarre, high-society gathering stolen from Stanley Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut.” Class, raise your hands if you’ve already deduced that repeated peril — and hitherto untapped bursts of resourcefulness — will remind our beleaguered couple how much they truly love each other. And if all this smacks of a certain TV reality show, that’s deliberate; early on, Jibran contemptuously dismisses programs such as “The Amazing Race,” while extolling the greater virtues of the serious documentary he’s been fine-tuning for years. “Documentaries,” retorts Leilani, not one to miss an opening, “are just reality shows that nobody watches.” That’s a funny line. Too bad there aren’t more like it. At a (mercifully) brief 86 minutes, these lovebirds know when to get off the stage … by which time, yes, OK, Leilani and Jibran have become mildly endearing. But only mildly.

to get home. As images of military personnel stationed at transit hubs circulate, Prebble says international travel is a bit nervewracking. “It’s scary,” the soon-to-be senior says. “The airports are ghost towns.” But she says it’s the quarantine that’s the worst: “My mom is a doctor in New Zealand,” Prebble explains. “So she wouldn’t come near me at all. “I was literally in my room alone for days when I first arrived. We had a system set up so I would only touch the bottom of the fridge and she would only touch the top. And she’d put my food in a box when I needed it. “It was crazy.” With five international players on her roster, women’s basketball coach Jen Gross has the most of any Aggie team.

While state and county public health officials wrestle with safestart dates for athletic activities at high schools, The Davis Enterprise has learned that California Interscholastic Federation officials are in serious discussions that could delay fall sports until Jan. 1, 2021. A California prep athletic director told the newspaper that “there is no chance fall sports will begin on time,” adding that an October start for football is being discussed. However, the source added that “a better bet” is that prep fall sports “will begin right after the Christmas holidays.” Blue Devil Athletic Director Jeff Lorenson had no comment about the nature of recent CIF talks. Lorenson did say that while the situation is volatile, he expects Davis Joint Unified School District officials to make a decision sometime next week regarding, “at the least,” football workouts. Davis High gridiron coaches have submitted several options for beginning safe, delayed workouts, according to head coach Steve Smyte. “The CIF is looking at every possibility, and our schools have made it very clear they want to have all three seasons,” SacJoaquin Section Assistant Commissioner Will DeBoard told The Enterprise on Thursday. “When you look at where we’re at right now — with the schools’ fall season expected to start with practice on July 27 — it doesn’t look super-realistic for things to ... be all systems go. It doesn’t feel like we’ll be in Phase 4 by then. “And then I think we’re pretty much going to play every day by ear after that.” Smyte said he hasn’t heard anything to the contrary that DHS

Aggies at the crossroads Travel bans add another wrinkle to fall athletics BY OWEN YANCHER Enterprise staff writer As if there wasn’t already enough up in the air for UC Davis sports … Adding yet another wrinkle to the Aggies’ plans for 2020 competition are the 30-some international student-athletes that dot Davis rosters — more than half of whom happen to participate in fall sports. Many of those players find themselves overseas at the moment, most having returned to their homelands around midMarch when the university closed campus and transitioned to online learning. And those same Aggie athletes, some worlds apart (like field hockey’s Nicola Prebble who hails from New Zealand), find themselves wondering if they’ll even be allowed back in the county in the coming weeks or months. It was announced Tuesday that the U.S.-Canada border will remain closed to nonessential travel for at least another 30 days in efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19 as positive cases

Leaps & labs: Abby Lo is ready for MIT Four-event track star eager to run

Davis High track-and-field standout Abby Lo dominated the Delta League, Sac-Joaquin Section and Masters meets. After an injury halted her junior season, she was, er, on track to regain her crowns this year when it was cut short by the coronavirus. During the quarantine, she painted, read, knit and crocheted, along with her usual workouts. Her dog, Mocha, has eight new beanies.

BY LEV FARRIS GOLDENBERG Enterprise staff writer On a good day, Abby Lo can leap almost 40 feet. She can also expound on the interdisciplinary nature of optical neurophysiology ... but that’s just in her spare time. The just-graduated Davis High track phenom is headed to the Massachucetts Institute of Technology, where she will jump for legendary cinder coach Halston Taylor. Called up to DHS varsity as a freshman, Lo usually participated in four events. As a sophomore, Lo set a personal best of 38-4.25 while taking first in the triple jump at the Delta League, Sac-Joaquin Section and Masters championships en route to the State meet. “Track ended up being something I really, really loved,” she told The Enterprise. “And something in that I was really proud of (my) accomplishments.” Lo actually manages six events — the 100- and 200-meter dashes, 4x1 relay, 4x4 relay and long and triple jumps — but CIF bylaws dictate that athletes cannot perform more than four in a meet.

Would she have gone in all six if it was allowed? “I think she would have,” varsity coach Spencer Elliott weighed in. “I would compare her to a starting pitcher in baseball who doesn’t want to come out of the game. She would do four events unless someone told her otherwise.” That, in a nutshell, is Abby Lo. Here is another snapshot ... It was cold and hailing at an early season meet during her junior year, when Lo landed awkwardly on her hip during the triple jump, straining her

iliopsoas tendon and forcing her to miss the rest of the regular season. Lo rehabbed her injury, returning in time for the Delta, Section and Masters championships — and though she was not back to 100 percent, Lo established another career best with a 59.41 in the 400 section title meet. “My injury really sucked, but it was definitely a catalyst for psychological and emotional growth,” Lo reflected. “No one runs fast alone. You need a lot of people to push you. And so even

though it’s an individual sport, the team aspect is really important.” Disappointed in how her season ended, Lo trained over the summer with the help of DHS jumping coach Leo Sacramento. With that extra work, she qualified and competed for the triple jump at the 2019 Junior Olympics. This spring was shaping up to be a kind of comeback season, until the Blue Devils’ season got cut short due to the coronavirus pandemic. But in their lone meet

in early March, Lo let everyone know she was completely back — placing first in the 400, long jump and triple jump. “Every time she got on the track, she did awesome things,” Elliott told The Enterprise. “She’s compassionate and encouraging of other people. So in addition to being very talented, she also brought to the team her leadership skills.” Away from the arena, Lo is just as fierce a competitor. Earlier this year she interned at Dr. Lin Tian’s optical neurophysiology lab at UC Davis, where Lo says they use microscopes to analyze neural circuits. “They’re using microscopes, and light techniques, confocal microscopes,” she added. “Yeah, it was super exciting to be there and see how all their research worked.” (We’ll wait while you reference your nearby medical dictionary.) Lo likes the multifaceted nature of her chosen major. In biomedical engineering, she says, “you have to have material science … and then you also have to know the engineering, you need to know the medicine, you (must) know the biology. “So it seems like a way I can kind of bring together a lot of stuff. I don’t know how I got

Next-level programs take aim at DHS Blue Devils’ championship season draws attention

The next-level spotlight has been shining bright on Davis High football. From top left clockwise are Blue Devil wideout Xavier Chambers, linebacker Zach Brooks (44), lineman Aidan Minamiji (70) and Patton Miller.

BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor From Whitworth to Whittier. From the University of Colorado to Dartmouth, Davis High football has been on the tips of the tongues of college coaches across the land. While Blue Devil head coach Steve Smyte says, “I’ve been in contact with at least 150 schools about our guys,” it’s not surprising — after a 10-2 season and a Delta League championship — that the local coach no longer has to make the first call. For juniors at DHS, the recruiting process is still in the early stages. But for graduated seniors like Joey Asta (Claremont McKenna), Gerad Christian-Lichtenhan (Colorado), Marquist Allen (Dartmouth) and Aidan Minamiji (Puget Sound), the next step has been cemented. For myriad soon-to-be senior Blue Devils, the process of finding the right collegiate fit has just started — and apparently the Poets of Whittier College would love to simply transfer the DHS roster to campus. No fewer than four Devils have received invitations to play for the Southern California private school. “We have a very thorough recruiting process that we utilize to identify young men with outstanding character, that want to earn a meaningful degree, love football, and have tremendous athletic ability,” Whittier head football coach Mike Neale told The Enterprise in explaining why Davis High has been smack-dab in the middle of his radar. Devil linebacker and wrestler Zach Brooks, who joins teammates Patton Miller, Xavier Chambers and Donovan Garvin with an offer from Whittier, says it’s early in his selection process, and he isn’t ready to make a decision. ‘(this is) a school you have to check out.’ Smyte expects other invitations from larger schools to “I’m super-impressed with Coach Smyte … his come the quartet’s way. Whitworth College (Spokane, Wash.) has also offered Brooks a deal, and each returning reputation is a great one,” Thompson explained. “And he’s been a great resource and super-helpful.” Blue Devil has been talking to other schools. Forbidden to talk about individual recruits until that But Brooks notes that the interest in so many Devils NLI is in hand, Thompson admitted, from Whittier is “kind of cool; they’re “We’ve got our eyes on a couple other casting a wide net.

football will start on time. The Blue Devils are slated to kick off the season by hosting Vacaville on Aug. 21. Section offices are responsible only for championship dates for schools, and they work backwards from that to provide dates for the start of conditioning, start of dead periods and breaks between sports seasons. The Enterprise source says the goal is to provide three 12-week seasons. How the overlap of the seasons might work depends on how quickly the fall campaign gets underway. Lorenson told The Enterprise that Davis schools always will err on the side of caution, regardless of the edicts from county and state officials. And while school officials up and down the state try to wrap their heads around various scenarios that relate to the 3-month-old worldwide pandemic, the cloud of no fall sports still hovers over the landscape. “It’s fair to say we’re looking at pretty much any type of scenario that’s on the table,” DeBoard offered. Including a doomsday pronouncement? “Absolutely,” DeBoard replied. “And honestly, we waited as long as humanly possible before we canceled the spring postseason. Back in April, what we feel like was years and years and years ago, we were waiting as long as possible.” DeBoard noted the NCAA had already called a halt to spring sports and the NBA had suspended its season: “Every sporting organization out there had already called things off — and we hadn’t.” DeBoard confirmed that a CIF announcement regarding the entire 2020-21 school-year calendar is due July 20 — just seven days before the normal return-to-practice date for fall sports. But he added that even those plans “could change from week to week.” — Reach Sports Editor Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet41@gmail.com or call 530-320-4456.

interested in it, it’s just really cool.” Her inspiration may have come from her dad, Su Hao Lo, who is a professor at UC Davis in the department of biochemistry and molecular medicine. Lo’s curiosity also was piqued by her junior-year advanced-placement biology class with Timothy Peevyhouse. After compiling a 4.61 GPA in high school, she received the Halden Scholarship, a National Merit grant and the Lambda Sigma Gamma “Beauty Through Diversity” scholarship. Lo’s twin brother, Ethan — an outfielder for DHS baseball — is headed to Cal this fall. This spring, both of them faced school and sports cancelations, and a sudden rush of free time. Lo used quarantine to take up new (and old) pastimes — namely, painting, reading, knitting and crocheting, along with her usual workouts. Her dog, Mocha, has eight new beanies thanks to Lo’s sudden freedom. In lieu of the usual celebration, the Lo family watched the virtual graduation ceremony, and she and her mom, Jean Hsu — who works for the CalPERS — baked a cake. “I started cooking a lot, so at least I know I can survive in college now,” Lo said. “The combination of, like, cooking a whole lot and baking and not working out at all was maybe not the best.” Now MIT awaits. Lo says she will mostly be flying through the air — the long and the triple jumps — but she hopes to put in a couple 400-meter runs, too. Always going the extra mile. A final note — The NCAA does not limit an athlete’s number of events per meet. — Reach Lev Farris Goldenberg at levfg2000@gmail.com.

comes my way, but I’m definitely interested in Whittier — it seems like a cool school,” he admits. That’s certainly music to Mike Neale’s ears. Minamiji, satisfied with his signed commitment to Puget Sound, says he saw the next-level coaches begin attending practices when former Blue Devil tight end Tucker Fisk (Stanford) had his break-out season five years ago. “And with Will Smith (Claremont-McKenna) and then Gerad, that attention grew,” says the lineman, who adds that Loggers head coach Jeff Thomas made the offer after Minamiji was discovered at a Juniors’ Day camp in the Pacific Northwest. Minamiji will major in health and exercise science. As important as all this college contact is for the inthe-spotlight Blue Devil program, an overriding concern now is when football workouts can start, when the regular season will begin, and what shape it might take if some schools get the green light and others are forbidden to play by local public health mandates. “I’m optimistic that we’ll definitely have a season,” says Chambers. “It will be exciting to get out there with the guys.” Especially knowing so many new “fans” will be watching. — Reach Sports Editor Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet41@gmail.com or call 530-320-4456.

Community expects more at University Mall COMMENTARY C R BY GREG ROWE

Special to The Enterprise

ecent Enterprise letters and comments to City Council questioned the planning commission’s May 27 unanimous rejection of the University Commons redevelopment proposal. After carefully evaluating this project for 18 months, I suggest that decision reflects the community’s expectation that the commission will uphold good land use practices and support neighborhood integrity. Instead of simply modernizing University Mall, the owner (Brixmor) wants to convert it to a large student housing complex with retail, offices and other features to purportedly serve community needs. Brixmor’s March 2018 application included 174 housing units comprising 552 bedrooms within 208,606 square feet. But 8 months later when the city issued an EIR “Notice of Preparation” (NOP), the apartments had increased by 90 units and almost doubled in area to 412,000 sf with 894 beds. The NOP said the 264 apartments would consist of 66 one-bedroom units, 104 twobedroom, 28 three-bedrooms, and 66 four-bedroom units (25%), focused on student bed rentals. But as I explained at the May hearing, a 2019 survey of Davis apartment complexes revealed that 76% of units have only one or two bedrooms. Units with four or more

bedrooms make up just 6% of surveyed apartments, compared to the 25% sought for University Commons. These factors clearly reveal Brixmor’s intent to exclusively cater to student renters because families are better served by conventional apartments. Since 2017, our city authorized four large student housing developments: Sterling 5th Street Apartments, Nishi, Lincoln40 on Olive Drive and Davis Live on Russell Blvd. When completed these projects will collectively house almost 3,900 students. Approving University Commons would result in almost 4,800 new beds designated solely for students during the past three years. This does not include increased capacity on Russell Boulevard at the expanded UCD Webster Hall and new Shasta Hall, totaling 1,200 beds. UCD’s demolished Orchard Park housing site meanwhile remains vacant. Importantly, the planning commission’s July 2018 approval of the 440-bed Davis Live apartments included a proviso that the project’s “very high residential density” land use designation would be restricted to Russell Boulevard between Highway 113 and Sycamore Lane. Brixmor’s proposal to house almost 900 students at the mall ignores the commission’s intent to restrain further

high-density student housing. University Commons would have only 264 residential parking spaces (equaling just 29% of the 894 beds). Students could easily walk to campus, but most would bring vehicles to Davis for recreation, job commutes, etc. Those unable to obtain mall garage parking would probably move their cars to nearby businesses and residential streets, continually relocating them to avoid parking patrols.

CD, meanwhile, is building campus housing that will only accommodate the 5,000 new admissions expected between 2018 and 2030, but refuses to correct past deficiencies. As explained during the May hearing, I estimate that UCD missed by 1,800 beds the 2012 housing goal set by the Regents in 2002. UCD likewise fell 1,400 beds short of the 2016 housing target in its 2003 long range plan. If those objectives had been met, Brixmor may have been less motivated to build what one commenter called a “dorm on steroids.” As another wrote, why should Davis citizens bear the brunt of UCD’s insatiable quest for ever-larger enrollment coupled with its unwillingness to provide sufficient student housing? Apprehension about the mall plan was evidenced by 16 letters to the city during EIR scoping in late 2018, including submissions by two planning commissioners. Concerns included building

ommunity concern about the project was consistently conveyed to the city and Brixmor over 18 months, but the mall owner was unresponsive and did no outreach. There likewise were no planning commission briefings or workshops that would have provided an early opportunity to evaluate Brixmor’s redevelopment concept. The result during the May 27 commission hearing was 20 speakers who reiterated the project’s myriad problems and urged commissioners to withhold support.

height and mass, increased congestion on Russell Boulevard and nearby streets, bicycle and pedestrian safety, loss of community retail, inadequate parking, and an emphatic preference for affordable family rental housing.

The draft environmental impact report released in November 2019 was followed by a planning commission hearing last December. Commissioners questioned the lack of affordable workforce housing, building height and mass, traffic congestion, tree removal, bike facility adequacy and insufficient parking for shoppers and almost 900 residents. The commission expressed similar sentiments during a meeting with City Council last October.

Commissioners listened to the public, thoroughly evaluated the project, and concluded it would not be advantageous for Davis. While cognizant of potential new tax revenue and challenges to traditional retail, the commission’s apprehensions had not diminished. Even with one commissioner recused, the vote clearly rebuked Brixmor’s flawed redevelopment proposal.

The final EIR released in May 2020 included 36 opposition letters. Public alarm was vividly expressed, including two commissioners who repeated their earlier reservations about the project’s assumptions and analysis.

Brixmor will probably appeal the commission’s decision to City Council. Hopefully, the council will consider the commission’s concerns and deliberations. Brixmor may want to consider the alternative of updating the mall with no more than the 53,905 sf of housing allowed under the current zoning and Community Retail land use designation.

Instead of meaningful responses, the final EIR defended the project with routine verbiage, but at least admitted University Commons would have significant and unavoidable impacts on transportation and circulation. Mitigation measures were described but as one commissioner observed, mitigation without funding and a clear implementation path is not mitigation.

be put down and we could find our society descending further into repressive autocracy rather than emerging from it. Unlike the Arab Spring, then, we have undeniable cogent and broadly dispersed leadership. This leadership is calling for the rational dismantling of the U.S. police state and reallocation of money to social services (not the end of policing). Our emergent black leadership is going to be tested. The blow back will likely take the form of historiographic white solidarity victimhood . A victimhood aimed at re-establishing the divisive status quo. Stepping in front of the exploitation of white victimhood and white fragility is where white allies belong. Thank you, Black Lives Matter, Color of Change and all the other organizations bringing us a chance for improving all of our lives. Scott Ragsdale

Nuclear weapons Who would have thought that a local “teach-in” on nuclear weapons at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Davis in January 2018 would have international implications on nuclear disarmament? That event was sponsored by the Davis Democratic Club, and the nascent Davis Committee Against Nuclear Weapons. It featured keynote speeches by Rep. John Garamendi and Sarah Bidgood of the Center for Nonproliferation Studies. Importantly, that event served as the inspiration for our Assemblymember Cecilia Aguiar-Curry to introduce AJR 30 and to coauthor AJR 33 in the California Legislature. These resolutions support No First Use of nuclear weapons, and ratification of the United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. The Davis City Council has recently followed suit and adopted similar resolutions on May 19, 2020, under the gavel of Mayor Pro Tempore Gloria Partida; thank you! Internationally, Beatrice Fihn, the executive director of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, recently said in a zoom chat with Ploughshares Fund supporters that she has used California’s example internationally to convince governments to join the treaty. She said that countries were “superexcited” to hear that California took this action, because it is a pretty significant state in the U.S., and things that start there start trickling down to other states as well. She is going to use this example when she speaks with the U.S. State Department, making sure that they receive the list of U.S. states and cities which have supported the treaty. Our local group will now turn its sights on other jurisdictions in the county and region to encourage more support. If you would like to join this effort, or if your local jurisdiction would like to take similar action, contact us at davisnonukes.wordpress.com or facebook.com/DavisNo Nukes/. Sarah F.

Protected bike lanes The Enterprise published a column titled Protected Bikes Lanes are the Problem. The author based his article on a press release from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. I’m a civil engineer who has been researching traffic safety issues for 25 years. I found a different story when I read their release. The lead researcher for IIHS study says the following: “There is evidence that protected bike lanes help prevent the worst crashes.” Preventing severe injuries is much more important than preventing skinned knees, and accordingly that’s the goal of traffic safety efforts. The researchers identified a street in Washington, D.C.m as having the highest risk. I used Google Streetview and found that it is a dense urban, three-lane, oneway street, lined with four-story buildings adjacent to the sidewalk. It is not, as the Enterprise author says, “eerily similar” to Mace. Furthermore, the penultimate paragraph in the press release says the following: “Typically, protected lanes are installed on busy roads that pose more of a risk to cyclists in the first place. Our finding that conventional bike lanes were less risky doesn’t mean that cyclists on roads with protected lanes would be better off without that separation.” Presumably, the author read those words yet nonetheless argues for removing

Thank you, black leaders We can’t ignore the black and brown people that have put their bodies at risk to save our nation. Very few who have received the use of violence against protesters were white. What we are seeing, the black led racial justice movement, has been in place long before this moment. Listen to the words from George Floyd’s niece, Brooke Williams, Harvard Professor Khail Gibran Muhammad, and Minneapolis Black Visions Collective organizers Miski Noor and Kandace Montgomery. They are crushingly reasonable. William Barr, interviewed on “Face the Nation,” said, “we have to recognize that for most of our history, our institutions were explicitly racist.” Barr’s words are just the threshold of moral reconciliation. It is up to the rest of us to bring our country to spiritual and fiscal reconciliation — to begin to remedy the damage done by hundreds of years of tragic racist exploitation most often structured by capitalism. As hopeful as many may be, just like the Arab Spring, the promise of justice could

UCD student-athlete center It seems to me that the news on A1 and B1 of the June 12 newspaper ought to be combined. Alexis Brown’s account of racism and lack of support from her coaches during her recent years on the UC Davis gymnastics team should be addressed somewhere in this new UC Davis Student Athlete Performance Center. It is great the student athletes will have new weight rooms, lecture halls nearby, and medical health at their finger tips, but maybe there needs to be a space dedicated to developing their empathy, humanity, and eliminating racism and sexism. It sounds like UC Davis is excited about bringing different branches of the university together on this project. Perhaps bringing to the table those campus elements that were supportive of Alexis Brown such as to the Cross Cultural Center, the Center for African Diaspora Student Success, and counselors. If a team is regularly using the N-word and the coach and team are ostracizing their only black athlete for speaking up, that is a deeper problem. Luckily this center is breaking ground just in time and can address this additional need. Tabatha Yang Davis
