COVID caseload grows

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, discussed California’s response to COVID-19 in a video conference hosted by the Sacramento Press Club on Wednesday.

County urges cooperation with contact tracers BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY

Fauci looks at virus response return to normalcy was understandable, but he urged cooperation with public health guidelines. “Your responsibility is not just individual,” Fauci said. “There really is a societal responsibility there.” That message is equally important for young people and those not especially at risk, he said. “Although you think you may not be as vulnerable to the serious consequences of getting infected, you’ve got to realize that you’re part of a dynamic pandemic process,” Fauci said. “You getting infected, even

As the county’s COVID-19 caseload continues to grow, so, too, does the work of the contact tracers tasked with ensuring spread of the virus is stopped as soon as possible. Currently the county has 33 contact tracers with 27 more expected to be added to the team over the next week, according to Brian Vaughn, the county’s public health director. Each new COVID-19 case reported requires, on average, 10 close contacts to be traced, Vaughn said, and each contact tracer can manage about 10 contacts in a 12-hour period. So the 20 new cases reported on Wednesday alone might require 20 contact tracers to investigate all of their contacts, which would take each of them about 12 hours.

City terminates assistant fire chief

DDBA announces street closures for open-air dining

Health official stresses social responsibility BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer Dr. Anthony Fauci, the United States’ top infectious disease expert, discussed California’s response to COVID-19 with Capitol Public Radio’s Sammy Caiola in a video conference hosted by the Sacramento Press Club on Wednesday.

On the same day, California Gov. Gavin Newsom reported a record-breaking total of 7,149 new positive results were confirmed in the state over the previous 24 hours. Over the past two weeks, COVID-19 hospitalizations in California increased by 29 percent and patients being treated in ICUs by 20 percent. The number of cases in Yolo County has also surged over the past week. Speaking remotely from Washington, D.C., Fauci emphasized the importance of social responsibility as California navigates its reopening plan. “I don’t think it’s that the

Davis Assistant Fire Chief Dennis Reilly was terminated from the Fire Department effective June 18, less than two years after his hiring.

Enterprise staff writer

Dennis Reilly, Davis’ assistant fire chief, was fired from the Davis Fire Department last month in part over his “incompatibility in management styles” with Fire Chief Joe Tenney, The Davis Enterprise learned this week. “I am exercising my option to terminate your at-will employment with the City, pursuant to Section 7(a) of your Employment Agreement,” City Manager Mike Webb wrote in a memo to Reilly titled “Notice of Removal,” dated May 28. Webb also cited pandemicinduced cutbacks as a reason for dismissing Reilly from

State of California is doing anything wrong or not,” he said. “It’s what the response of the people is to the opening process.” As soon as businesses began to reopen, videos proliferated online of people congregating without wearing face coverings or practicing social distancing, Fauci said. “We’re seeing the restrictions and guidelines for slowly taking the next step being jumped over usually by young people who think that opening means all or none,” he said. “Either no restrictions or lockdown.” Fauci said people’s desire to

This action is not punitive nor merit based.” The memo gave June 18 as Reilly’s final day of employment, but he was placed on immediate administrative leave “to allow you the next three weeks to focus on your future plans.” “The city and I are grateful for your service and wish you the best for your future,” Webb wrote.

Graulich said he and co-counsel Tom Barth are in talks with the city to determine the specific reason for Reilly’s termination and what recourse he has, if any. “He was astonished. He thought he had been working well with Chief Tenney,” Graulich said Thursday. “He loved his job, and he was planning to have a very, very long career serving the city of Davis.” Tenney referred comment about Reilly’s termination to Webb, who declined to elaborate due to the confidentiality of personnel matters, though he did confirm Reilly was “not laid off.”

Special to The Enterprise The Davis Downtown Business Association announced Thursday the details of the Open Air Davis program, closing downtown Davis streets on summer weekends to allow businesses to use the space for socialdistancing purposes. The DDBA and the city of Davis have co-sponsored the program, which will have a soft launch on Friday, June 26, through Sunday, June 28. Every Friday morning through Sunday night the closures will be in effect. The program is planned to continue for at least 10 weekends

Briefly Collision injures one, topples tree The Davis police and fire departments responded to the scene of a vehicle collision that downed a tree in the road Tuesday afternoon. According to the Davis Fire Department, a pickup struck the tree shortly after 12:30 p.m. near the intersection of West Covell Boulevard and Catalina Drive, causing major frontend damage to the truck and the toppling of the tree into the roadway. The driver was able to get out of the truck and was later transported to the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento with unspecified injuries, fire officials said. Crews remained on scene for about an hour as the tree was cleared from the road.

hate to brag about one of our kids. I really do. But since the fate of the country I love is involved here, I’m going to do it anyway. It turns out our daughter Emme, who will be a senior at our esteemed local high school this fall, is in regular personal communication with the president of the United States. No, this is not one of those deals where Emme wrote Mr. Trump a fan letter or an angry letter or something in between and got some sort of manufactured response from one of the president’s underlings. Truth be told, Emme didn’t write the president at all or contact him in any way. It was Donald Trump himself who started this pen pal relationship. Who could resist?Courtesy photo “Dear Emme,” his email begins as if they’ve been friends for years. Trump’s salutation was placed directly under a box with the words “TRUMP/PENCE — MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! 2020” I’ve discussed that slogan more than once with Emme. Given that she’s just 16, she wants to know what time frame the “AGAIN” refers to so she can fully understand what the president is trying to say. She does point out, however, that the Trump/Pence team has had nearly four years to make America great again, so if it

SACRAMENTO — After an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division, Darshan Mundy — owner of seven Sacramento, California-area gas stations — has paid $340,470 in back wages and damages to 105 employees and $45,963 in penalties to resolve violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act’s (FLSA) minimum wage and overtime requirements. Mundy — owner of four corporate entities that operate four Chevron stations in Sacramento, one Chevron and one Valero station at Chiles Road and Mace Boulevard in Davis, and one Chevron station in Lodi — failed to pay the federal minimum wage when he withheld pay for employees’ first 24 hours of work as “training hours” until new hires completed a 90-day probationary period. The employer violated overtime requirements by paying straight time rates when employees worked more than 40 hours per week. In some instances, the employer falsified payroll records by reducing the number of hours shown to create the appearance that the employer had paid overtime. Additionally, the employer illegally deducted money from workers’ pay or collected it from them out-of-pocket to cover cash-register shortages. Overtime violations also resulted when Mundy

failed to combine the hours that employees worked across multiple locations in the enterprise during the workweek when determining whether overtime was due. “This employer used a variety of schemes and illegal practices to deny employees their rightfully earned wages,” said Wage and Hour assistant district director Brandon Nuess in Sacramento. “We will continue to enforce the law so all employers abide by the same rules. We also encourage employers and employees to call us for assistance to improve their understanding of the labor standards and learn about our on-line educational tools, so violations like those found in this investigation can be avoided.” Mundy signed a compliance agreement promising to use a biometric timekeeping system at all workplace locations, train all current employees on their rights under the FLSA regarding workplace retaliation and distribute information to future employees about their rights and how to file complaints. The department offers numerous resources to ensure employers have the tools they need to understand their responsibilities and to comply with federal law, such as online videos, confidential calls, or inperson visits to local WHD offices.

hasn’t happened by now, it’s not likely to happen in the next four years. But here’s the good part. “I’ve only selected 100 patriots in the entire nation to join this prestigious club, and YOU are one of them.” (Note: when communicating with teenagers, they’re always impressed when you slip into allcaps mode while referring to them.) What club are we talking about? Why the Trump 100 Club, of course. If you’ve never heard of the Trump 100 Club, that just proves how completely exclusive it is. “Trump 100 Club members are going to be the ones I turn to when I need the advice of the American people.” Doesn’t surprise me that you’d lean on a 16-year-old for advice, Mr. President, which is about twice the age of the folks who are advising you now. “I’ll be counting on your feedback to represent the views of millions of voters. I’ll need YOU to be my eyes and ears around the

country, and I need to know that I can rely on you these next few months.” These Trump folks are an impatient bunch. As it turns out, no more than two minutes after the president’s email arrived, and before Emme had a chance to craft a response, a second email plopped into her lap, this one from another Don — the brave and manly big-game hunter, Don Jr. Having just returned from exercising his Second Amendment rights on some poor endangered sheep in the highlands of Mongolia, Don Jr. writes “Emme — Should I tell my father that you aren’t interested?” Talk about a hard sell. “He asked me to review the most recent list of Patriots who have entered to win a trip to meet him at an upcoming event and I noticed that you STILL haven’t entered.” Nobody said anything about a trip in your dad’s email, Don. “I thought it was a mistake.” I mean, how could a 16-year-old from California turn down a chance to attend a Trump superspreader event? “There are only a few days left to win a trip for you and a special guest to meet and take a photo with President Trump. My father can’t wait to meet you, Emme.” Apparently, the president is convinced the 16-year-old vote is key to his reelection.

See you soon! BY SARA THOMPSON Special to the Enterprise

xplorit Science Center will be starting Summer Science Camps the first week of July. We have taken many steps to keep our campers, volunteers and staff safe during camp. One of the first safety measures we took was to move our camps outdoors, where there is more room to spread out and practice social distancing. This also prompted us to move our camps earlier in the day to help avoid the Northern California summer heat. The tables campers will be sitting at are 6 feet in length and will be spaced 8 or more feet apart to ensure proper social distancing from other campers, but still close enough to speak to others. We will do daily temperature checks on all staff, volunteers and campers upon arrival and send home anyone with a fever. We plan to have periodic

EXPLORIT SCIENCE CENTER hand washing and sanitizing times when transitioning activities. All surfaces and supplies will be sanitized multiple times a day. We want to continue to provide an engaging and fun science experience for our campers. We will do more individual projects and demonstrations instead of group projects, but campers can still talk with each other and work collaboratively just like all scientists do. We still have some spaces left in our August camps; if interested, please visit http://www.explorit. org/programs/summercamp/summer-andvacation-classes. The most recent opening phase also included museums. We are currently looking into how to safely open our hands-on museum to our public once again. Our planning is still preliminary, and we

do not have an official date yet, but we have made some decisions on changes you may see once we open. First, we will have to reduce the number of guests we have in the building at a time. We will have time slots for guests to register for and pay for digitally, so we can minimize contact between staff and our guests. We will close for a short time between time slots to clean and sanitize the museum. Some of our activities will be removed or rearranged to open up more space for walking and maintaining social distancing while in the museum. We will also have designated entry and exit doors, so guests do not congregate or pass close together. We look forward to safe and successful summer camps in the coming weeks and hope to open soon to our members and the public. Keep checking our website and social media pages for updates

OPEN: DDBA aiming to expand participation From Page A1 through the end of August. The goals of the program are: ■ To allow DDBA members within Downtown Business Improvement District to conduct business downtown in a larger area utilizing public space, giving them the ability to expand their extremely limited capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic ■ To invite the community to dine, shop, and receive services downtown while enjoying the atmosphere in “open air” space, thus providing greater opportunity to maintain safe social distancing in an outdoor/ fresh air environment ■ To encourage more public interaction with downtown businesses this summer in a responsible way to help the local economy and business survival Initial street closure to vehicular traffic will occur on G Street between Second and Third streets (north of parking lot entrance through south end of the intersection at Third Street) on Friday. Several restaurants on G Street will be expanding their capacity, allowing for outdoor dining in the street Friday through Sunday night. During the second weekend of the program, (July 3-5), the

DDBA anticipates additional participants, including retail and specialty services). Planned expansion of the program includes the closure of vehicular traffic on Second Street between E and F streets, beginning on the weekend of July 10-12. The city of Davis is not requiring a Temporary Use Permit for businesses to utilize and occupy a street area closed to vehicular traffic on the weekends during Open Air Davis, but is requiring a TUP for use of space on any other days of the week or in any other location. Businesses can apply for a TUP with the city free of charge to utilize public space in front of their business or other desired areas on an ongoing basis for the duration of the program. Each participating business is solely responsible for their operations and customer areas, and will be required to abide by all Yolo County mandates and restrictions related to COVID-19, and health code, including face coverings, table-andchair spacing, sanitation and restroom accessibility, and trash disposal. Participating business personnel will clear tables, remove debris, and clean promptly after each seating and ensure customers maintain socialdistancing protocols.

“We still have the ability to trace all the cases right now, but if things continue to go as they’re trending now, we’ll certainly be bringing in the state for additional assistance to make sure we can trace all these cases,” Vaughn said. So how does contact tracing work? Last month, Vaughn provided a case study for the Board of Supervisors. In late May, word came that someone who works in Yolo County had tested positive and was asymptomatic. “It was determined that person lives in Sacramento County,” Vaughn said. “So the first thing we do is notify the Sacramento disease control team … and they’re the ones to do the initial contact investigation.” Turned out the person did have symptoms in early May but may have thought it was just allergies. The person was only tested because they had a household contact who had tested positive. However, knowing a possible exposure date helped investigators develop a better window for possible contacts. “In the investigation, we develop what are called rings or levels of potential exposure and contact,” said Vaughn. That first ring is everyone who can be identified through work or household contacts that may have been exposed to the person within six feet for more than 10 minutes. While Sacramento County focused on household contacts, Yolo County identified two people who had been within six feet for more than 10 minutes in the workplace. One lives in Sacramento County and one in Yolo County. Both were placed in quarantine.

Quarantine is required for individuals who are in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. Those placed in quarantine must stay home until 14 days have passed since the last contact with the infected person. Only if those placed in quarantine develop symptoms and test positive does the contact tracing resume, focusing on the first rings around those people. And while the magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic has required an increase in contact tracing, that investigative work is a timehonored hallmark of public health. “We have decades and decades of experience doing this work,” said Dr. Ron Chapman, the county’s retiring health officer. Such work is required for more than 100 infectious diseases, he said, from tuberculosis to Zika. And people are usually cooperative about providing information to contact tracers, Chapman said. But COVID-19 has become a political issue as much as a public health issue, not to mention occurring in an era when people are routinely reminded not to give out personal information over the phone. Supervisor Don Saylor of Davis noted that many people, when they receive a call from a number they don’t recognize and then find the person on the other end of the line asking questions about where they were and who they were with, might be reluctant to respond. “How do we overcome that reluctance?” he asked Vaughn at a recent board meeting. “Most people in the community are sympathetic and work with us,” Vaughn replied. “We call them and explain what our role is, what we’re doing and most

people communicate with us.” However, he said, “to be honest, some people don’t like to be traced.” There has also been more pushback on many public health measures related to COVID-19, from wearing face coverings to contact tracing. “It’s becoming much more political on that front,” said Vaughn. “So it’s something we’re keeping an eye on, but we haven’t had to take it to another level in terms of enforcement. It we have to, we have to. Certainly we would consider it if we think it’s a severe risk.” Said Chapman: “We anticipate these investigations getting more challenging as this issue becomes more politicized. That’s where the training and experience of (contact tracers) comes into play.” The county’s public information officer, Jenny Tan, has urged residents to cooperate. “It’s really important that if you get a call or voice mail from Yolo County public health staff who are contact tracers that you pick up the call or call them back,” she said this week. “Your information is confidential so whatever you do share with them will not be shared with the public.” Tan said contact tracers may ask about age, ethnicity, gender, medical conditions or how many people are in the household. “They will not ask you about your immigration or documentation status and all of the questions they ask are to better inform them of the spread of that case or that cluster or that location,” she said. Those who have been in that close contact and not yet been tested may be quarantined. As part of the

contact investigation, Vaughn said, they will be asked to sign a voluntary agreement to that effect. But health officers have the authority to back it up by law. “It really amplifies why we take a contact investigation so seriously, in terms of applying very rigorous protocols and guidance from national experts,” said Chapman. “We don’t just go out and identify hundreds and hundreds of people who may have been in contact with somebody for a few seconds because if somebody falls under the criteria, then yes, we have the authority to restrict their civil rights and we take that very, very seriously. “We weigh that against the potential for them to spread the infectious disease around the community,” he said. “We’ve done this for decades with infectious diseases like tuberculosis,” Chapman noted. “We don’t want people spreading tuberculosis in our communities so when somebody is identified, we isolate them under health officer orders. That’s a standard practice in public health.” And there are consequences for those who don’t comply. “Somebody who violates a quarantine order is liable for a misdemeanor, so they’re subject to a fine or even being jailed at the discretion of the court,” said County Counsel Phil Pogledich. Thankfully, Vaughn said earlier this month, that hasn’t been required so far in Yolo County. —Reach Anne TernusBellamy ataternus@ davisenterprise.net. Follow her on Twitter at @ATernusBellamy.

Former Enterprise columnist authors historical novel Enterprise staff Former Enterprise columnist Dorothea Hubble Bonneau’s African American historical novel “Once in a Blood Moon” launched last week. In the 1970s, Bonneau, under her name then, Dotty Fisk, wrote a column for The Davis Enterprise titled, “Our Children.” “That experience honed some writing skills and whetted my appetite for connection with the publicvia the written word,” she said. The lastest result of COURTESY PHOTO this skill is her novel about a young biracial Dorothea Hubble Bonneau’s novel “Once in a Blood Moon” was girl in South Carolina launched the week of June 14. struggling with her is torn between two worlds: Her mother status as the heiress to wants her to “pass” in so-called “higha plantation.

FIRE: Attorneys seek documents From Page A1 “I can confirm he is no longer in our employment,” Webb said. “The position is an at-will executive management position, and there are reasons stated in (the memo) for the release. I’m not able to provide more depth to the details of that.” The city hired Reilly as assistant fire chief in October 2018 under former Chief Daryl Arbuthnott, his position the only full-time job added to the city’s workforce that budget year. He already was a 44-year fire service veteran at the time, having retired as a battalion chief in Cherry Hill, N.J., and later serving as chief of the Sunrise Beach Fire Protection District in central Missouri. Reilly became Davis’ interim fire chief when Arbuthnott left to lead the Vallejo Fire Department in January 2019, and

resumed his prior role when the city named Tenney fire chief six months later. Reilly also had applied for the chief ’s position. Signs of something amiss surfaced on Aug. 14, 2019, when, according to Graulich, Reilly received an email from Tenney “that essentially stripped him of his duties and told him to sit in his office and do nothing.” “That was odd, but he didn’t interpret that to mean his job at risk,” Graulich said. His termination came just as suddenly, and “he just disappeared. No notice was given to the public.” Webb could not confirm the email, saying “it wouldn’t be something from us” at City Hall. As of Thursday, Reilly’s photo and biography remained posted on the fire department’s website. Meanwhile, Graulich said he and Barth have requested a series of

documents from the city regarding Reilly’s termination, including whether the fire department faces additional personnel cuts beyond the assistant chief post. “In my view, the people of Davis have a right to know what is happening with the leadership of their fire department,” Graulich said. “During a pandemic, it seems like you would want more senior leadership in place to ensure public health and safety, not less leadership.” Webb, the city manager, said the upcoming budget freezes funding for eight vacant city positions, two of them within the fire department — assistant chief and a fire inspector. Most others are from the police department budget, he added. — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenterprise.net or 530-7478048. Follow her on Twitter at @laurenkeene.

COURTESY PHOTO

FAUCI: Keeping up the pressure From Page A1 though you don’t realize it, is propagating the continuance of the outbreak. The chances are strong you’re going to infect somebody else who will infect somebody else who then will infect the vulnerable person.” One of the most important things individuals can do to slow transmission of the virus, Fauci said, is to wear a face covering when interacting with others. He acknowledged that when COVID-19 first began spreading in the U.S., “there was some confusion” about the effectiveness of face coverings being worn by the public, especially as masks and other protective equipment for health care workers were in short supply. At this stage, there is a consensus among public health experts that widespread use of face coverings is one of the most effective ways to reduce the spread of the virus. “Now we have plenty of masks and we know that cloth coverings can work as well as some masks,” Fauci said. “Everybody should wear a mask when out in public.” Fauci also emphasized the need to focus the response to COVID-19 in the communities that have been most impacted by the virus. African Americans, Latinx and Native

Americans have been put at higher risk “because they have a disproportionate number of jobs that are socalled ‘essential,’ where they’re outside, not being able to separate themselves, interacting with people, so their risk of getting infected already is higher than the general population,” Fauci said. “Then when they do get infected,” he continued, “they have underlying conditions that are caused by the social determinants of health that have been around for such a long time. They have higher degrees of hypertension. They have higher degrees of diabetes. They have higher degrees of obesity.” All of these conditions put people at higher risk of suffering severe symptoms or death if infected with COVID-19. Fauci said that while those disparities need to be addressed in the long-term, there also needs to be an immediate response. “What you do is you concentrate resources in those areas where demographically you have a concentration of the vulnerable,” he said. That means making health care accessible as well as establishing testing and contact tracing in underserved communities. Overall, Fauci spoke positively about California’s handling of COVID-19. “I think that from the

administrative standpoint, that you have a good handle on what things to do,” he said. Despite the recent surge in cases, Fauci said another total lockdown is probably unnecessary. “You don’t really need to go back to lockdown,” he said. “Now you may need to stay where you are and then impose a few more restrictions, or maybe back up a little.” According to Fauci, the next few weeks will be crucial in controlling the spread of the virus. “We’ve gotta get the population to realize we’re all in this together,” he said. “What you do will have an impact on others.” “People need to realize as difficult as this is for all of us — the terrible toll on the economy, on jobs for people who need to support their families — this will end,” Fauci said. “But it will end because we will be doing things to make it end. It’s not going to end spontaneously. The things that we’re doing that are uncomfortable now are the very things that are going to get us to normality. So, the good news is it will end, I promise you. The sobering news is that we’ve got a lot of work to do to make it end.” — Reach Caleb Hampton at champton@ davisenterprise.net. Follow him on Twitter at @calebmhampton.

On-demand rental ‘Irresistible’ is aptly titled Sharp writing ‘Irresistible’ highlights jab at partisan politics Starring: Steve Carell, BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic Scathing. Savage. Shrewd. Smart. And hilarious. Everything a biting political satire should be. Writer/director Jon Stewart’s well-timed broadside is a deliciously blistering indictment of the win-nomatter-what mentality that currently polarizes our country. As with all perceptive parables, the message is delivered via a premise and setting writ small: the better to make the point inescapable. Add a brilliantly assembled cast, and the result is, well, irresistible. An opening montage breezes through a series of carefully crafted, insufferably staged photo-ops that place past presidential candidates in cozy Midwestern settings: all intended to demonstrate that, no matter their über-wealthy lifestyles, they’re still “one with the humble folk.” The final shot places Democratic National Committee strategist Gary Zimmer (Steve Carell) in the midst of the Trump/ Clinton fracas, which — as we know — ends quite badly for the latter. Much to the delight of Gary’s arch-enemy, Republican National Committee strategist Faith Brewster (Rose Byrne, deliciously snooty). Elsewhere, times have grown tough for the small rural community of Deerlaken, Wis. When Mayor

Chris Cooper, Rose Byrne, Mackenzie Davis, Topher Grace, Natasha Lyonne and Brent Sexton Rating: R, and perhaps too harshly, for profanity

Braun (Brent Sexton) and the town council reflexively enact cuts that target the local undocumented workers, this proves one callous act too many for Jack Hastings (Chris Cooper), a retired Marine colonel who runs a dairy farm with his adult daughter, Diana (Mackenzie Davis). Jack, clearly not comfortable with public speaking, nonetheless interrupts the town council meeting with a brief, stirring statement advocating that “We all need to look out for each other.” The moment goes viral via social media, and quickly comes to the attention of Gary, still licking his wounds. Tantalized by the possibility of winning back voters in America’s heartland, Gary flies across the country and makes an unscheduled visit to the farm, hoping to persuade the apolitical Jack to run for mayor. Gary’s impulsive arrival in Deerlaken prompts amusement from the locals, and this is where the subtlety of Stewart’s writing and directing shines. Although regarding Gary with the wary skepticism that might be reserved for a visitor from outer space — which he is, in more ways

than one — the townsfolk are cheerfully polite and solicitous, often with a twinkle in the eye. Carell, in turn, ensures we realize that Gary knows he’s a fish out of water, so he obligingly rolls with the mild gibes. It becomes a fascinating, quite amusing dance. Jack ultimately agrees to challenge Braun for the mayor’s chair, on the condition that Gary personally supervises the campaign. The latter leaps to the challenge, with help from Diana and a gaggle of volunteers who possess far more enthusiasm than comprehension. They don’t get the benefit of much momentum. Within days, Faith and her far more experienced entourage blow into town, to counter-campaign on behalf of the incumbent. The next phase is equally inevitable: Both National Committees turn on the fund-raising spigot, and this modest mayoral race becomes a referendum for the soul of America. What’s most impressive is the even-handed degree to which Stewart handles this material. There aren’t any actual villains here — except, perhaps, for Gary and Faith — and the story gently castigates knee-jerk stereotypes held by both Republicans and Democrats. Stewart is more interested in putting the process on trial: the shred-the-tent extremes that have made compromise a sign of “weakness,” and driven such a wedge between people. The habitually laconic Cooper is note-perfect as a quiet, salt-of-the-earth type: a somewhat reclusive

DANIEL MCFADDEN, FOCUS FEATURES/COURTESY PHOTO

Having decided to enter the local mayoral race, Jack Hastings (Chris Cooper, left) proudly introduces a sheepish Gary Zimmer (Steve Carell) as his wildly overqualified campaign manager. man reluctantly trying to embrace the consequences of his rash (but heartfelt) stand. He also gives Jack a droll, Midwestern sense of humor frequently punctuated by a wry gaze and twitching half-grin. Cooper’s standout moment comes when Gary flies Jack back to D.C., in order to solicit donations from a coterie of wealthy — but vacuous — Democratic aristocrats. (Stewart definitely makes fun of them. Easy target.) Jack’s effort to “blend” is priceless; we can’t help empathizing. Carell makes ample use of the mildly prissy, blustery personality quirks that have served him so well, in so many earlier projects. Gary seems well-meaning, but we’re never entirely sure he’s sincere; elements of his behavior seem too calculated, as if he’s just playing a role (which he

undoubtedly is). But he relaxes and thaws in Diana’s company; the attraction is palpable. Davis exudes warmth and flirty charm, much as she did in 2018’s undersung “Tully.” Byrne’s ironically named Faith is haughty, condescending and cold as ice, her stiletto heels as much a part of her personality, as the chill gaze that makes one think of a lepidopterist pinning a live butterfly to a board. Sexton exudes smirky invincibility as Mayor Braun; Topher Grace and Natasha Lyonne are a hoot as, respectively, Gary’s polling expert and data analytics consultant. Their input increases the story’s sardonic edge, as this tiny mayoral race spins out of control. As the third act builds to its climax, Stewart uncorks one of the best plot twists

I’ve ever encountered. We’ve had no shortage of sharp-edged political movies over the years, and I’ve always been fond of those that focus on campaign tactics and misfires; “Wag the Dog,” “The Ides of March” and “Primary Colors” immediately leap to mind, as does Robert Redford’s memorable starring role in 1972’s deliciously cynical “The Candidate.” Stewart’s equally savvy dramedy definitely belongs in their company. It should be required viewing for all voters and candidates, regardless of political leaning; there’s much to be learned here. It’s available as an ondemand streaming rental, at a premium price. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http://derrickbang.blogspot. com.

Stories on Stage Davis pivots from live stage to podcast Special to The Enterprise With a moratorium on indoor gatherings recommended by state officials, longstanding literary series Stories on Stage Davis is pivoting its monthly live event into a twice-a-month podcast. There will be a new episode every second and fourth Saturday, each featuring a single author and actor pairing for shorter, listen-while-you’re-walking episodes. On Saturday, June 13 — what would have been the last live event of the season — Stories on Stage Davis aired its first episode with a new story, “Wet Nurse,” by Naomi J. Williams, author of “Landfalls” and co-director emeritus of Stories on Stage Davis. “Wet Nurse” was read by actress Jessica Laskey, who has performed numerous times for Stories on Stage, starting in 2013 during the series’ first season. This Saturday, June 27, the podcast’s second episode will feature the story “Zorba’s,” by Mathieu Callier, a prolific author of fiction, poetry, and books for children. In “Zorba’s,” a couple’s traffic-related delay forces a stop for lunch, and makes them late for their own baby shower. Still undecided on a baby name, their unexpected respite from traffic opens the door for an engaging (and hilarious) experience at Zorba’s restaurant. Cailler is an award-winning author whose poetry and prose have been widely featured in numerous national and international publications, including the Los Angeles Times and The Saturday Evening Post. Cailler is the winner of a

‘Da 5 Bloods’ makes a powerful statement Avarice tests bonds of friendship, loyalty

‘Da 5 Bloods’ Starring: Delroy Lindo, Clarke Peters, Norm Lewis, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Jonathan Majors, Chadwick Boseman, Johnny Trí Nguyen, Jean Reno, Mélanie Thierry, Paul Walter Hauser and Jasper Pääkkönen Rating: R, for strong violence, grisly images and pervasive profanity

BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic Movie serendipity can be spooky at times. Back in the spring of 1979, “The China Syndrome” hit theaters just 12 days prior to Pennsylvania’s Three Mile Island almost-a-catastrophe. And now, director Spike Lee’s savagely compelling new drama, “Da 5 Bloods,” debuted on Netflix June 12, not quite three weeks after the callous murder of George Floyd ignited a justifiably enraged movement that shows no sign of slowing. Lee’s message couldn’t be more timely. His film warrants such enhanced attention. And then some. “Da 5 Bloods” — co-scripted by Lee, Danny Bilson, Paul De Meo and Kevin Willmott — finds the reliably passionate filmmaker once again in the infuriated mode that characterized his early career. This isn’t a slyly sarcastic (and fact-based) jab at racist buffoons akin to 2018’s “BlacKkKlansman”; “Da 5 Bloods” is a bleak, intensely angry rage-against-the-man diatribe, with a slice of magic realism. And, yes, a few winks and nods to classic Hollywood. Let’s call it a Vietnam parable by way of 1948’s “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.” The setting and character dynamics may be different, but the message is identical: Greed destroys. African-American Vietnam veterans Paul (Delroy Lindo), Otis (Clarke Peters), Eddie (Norm Lewis) and Melvin (Isiah Whitlock Jr.) haven’t been too successful, since returning to the world. They’re broken men, beaten down by grief, illness, addiction, financial ruin and divorce. And by regret and shame, knowing that — decades earlier — they were forced to abandon their fallen squad leader, known as Stormin’ Norman. Haunted ever since by this failure (“Leave no man behind!”), they’ve returned to Vietnam, determined to find, and bring home, their former comrade’s remains. As it happens, though, their motives aren’t entirely pure. Back in the day — shortly before Norman’s death — the squad was tasked by the CIA to deliver a chest of gold bars to the indigenous Vietnamese who were helping the American war effort. But

NETFLIX/COURTESY PHOTO

Sheer chance has brought them to the right spot: As David (Jonathan Majors, far right) watches quietly, his companions — from left, Melvin (Isiah Whitlock Jr.), Eddie (Norm Lewis), Paul (Delroy Lindo) and Otis (Clarke Peters) — find evidence of their long-ago fallen comrade. Norman — passionate about his own people, back home — proposed they bury the gold until they could later reclaim it for the benefit of their own communities. These details emerge via flashbacks that periodically interrupt the present-day action, often as a result of one man’s anguished memories. Lee and cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel quite cleverly distinguish the two time periods: The 1970s flashbacks are characterized by the 4:3 aspect ratio then common on TV sets, whereas present-day events are cinematic wide-screen. Another fascinating touch: Lee doesn’t bother using different actors to play the younger selves of Paul, Otis, Eddie and Melvin, instead utilizing the same quartet. This is quite clever, since — even when thinking back decades — they’re more likely to picture themselves as “living memories” in the here and now. The one exception is Stormin’ Norman (Chadwick Boseman), who — of course — never had the opportunity to get older. As the flashbacks reveal, he’s far more than a mere squad leader. Boseman makes him teacher, preacher and prophet: a sage who not only protects his four fellow Bloods, but also educates them in the ways of cultural pride, while also highlighting the racial imbalance that finds black soldiers far more likely to be sent on dangerous missions. Lee punctuates Norman’s poetic lectures with cutaway stills (Crispus Attucks, the first American killed during the emerging American Revolution) and brief video clips (Muhammad Ali’s memorable quote, upon refusing military induction). Such interludes certainly are informative

— at times, even fascinating — but they do tend to yank us out of the moment. And, no question, by the third act, Lee becomes quite didactic. (Mind you, not without cause.) Returning to the core plot… The plan, once the gold has been recovered, is to liaise with international exports “fixer” Desroche (Jean Reno), who can turn the bullion into currency, then deposit it in offshore accounts. Desroche has been recommended by Tiên Luu (Lê Y Lan), Otis’ long-unseen former lover. The evening before leaving for the jungle, the veterans encounter a volunteer mine-detection team comprising Hedy (Mélanie Thierry), Simon (Paul Walter Hauser) and Seppo (Jasper Pääkkönen). They’ll be seen again. By this point, the quartet has become a quintet; they’ve unexpectedly been joined by Paul’s son, David (Jonathan Majors), greatly worried about the father who has long shunned him. Their estrangement is personal and political; Paul is a defiant supporter of President Trump — complete with red MAGA cap — a position that is anathema to David, a millennial African American studies teacher. The following day, a local guide (Johnny Trí Nguyen, as Vinh) accompanies the men on a tense boat ride to the edge of the jungle, and then awaits their return. The rising tension between Paul and David notwithstanding, there’s a sense that all concern regard this as their final shot at a “boys’ own adventure” romp. How wrong they are, as we quickly slam into Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness” territory. Lindo plays Paul as the

ultimate tragic figure: a PTSDshattered individual emblematic of blue-collar Americans who’ve directed their bitterness at the wrong people. But this disconnect contributes to Paul’s volatility, because — deep down — he knows that it conflicts with the wisdom imparted by Norman, so long ago. Lindo doesn’t merely speak his lines; he declaims in twisted Shakespearean fashion, turning Paul into a modern-day King Lear. Much of what follows will result from what Paul says and does. Melvin is the grounded yin to Paul’s unstable yang. Whitlock makes him cheerful, perhaps to the point of flippancy; despite a stable home life with a wife and 18-year-old son, Melvin tends to live for the moment … but only initially. As events proceed, Whitlock grants Melvin a clearer sense of right and wrong. Peters’ Otis, godfather to David, is the group’s former medic: a calling that he has maintained Stateside, with a nearfanatical devotion toward healing people. He’s wise, patient and compassionate, and — Peters ensures this — dignified, even in these harsh surroundings. Otis also is the one person usually able to control Paul, by appealing to what remains of his better nature: “Stick with your tribe” At first blush, Lewis’ Eddie is an outlier: a wildly successful entrepreneur with his name affixed to car dealerships across the United States, who throws money around with the élan of a New England aristocrat. But it seems a pose; Lewis adds a note of desperation to his altruism, and the occasional shrill note in his voice sounds more like

pleading than persuasion. Reno oozes mendacity as Desroche, somebody we instinctively distrust; Lan, in contrast, grants the contemplative Tiên pragmatism and quiet nobility. Despite having grown up in the aftermath of what Americans did to his country, Tiên bears these Americans no ill will. Lee and his writers take their time establishing setting, characters, motivations and the ghosts nibbling at their souls; halfway along in this 154-minutes drama, we’re definitely engrossed, trailing a few footsteps behind these men. By which point, savvy viewers may fear that things have remained too calm. Shrewd call. When the merde hits the fan — quite abruptly — things turn viciously, appallingly nasty. The drama is shaded and amplified by a deeply moving score from Terence Blanchard, a longtime Lee colleague who frequently channels Aaron Copland’s rousing compositions. (Lee’s fondness for Copland is well known; 1998’s “He Got Game” was scored entirely with Copland compositions, most notably — and appropriately — “John Henry.”) The sweeping grandeur of some of Blanchard’s themes are balanced by quieter, more intense cues that burrow into the soul. It could be argued, as we approach the story’s epilogue, that Lee’s own voice supplants those of his otherwise carefully crafted characters; he succumbs to laying it on with a trowel, and we viewers can’t help feeling pummeled. But — given current events — even this feels justified. But be advised: The superb acting and compelling storytelling notwithstanding, this is grim stuff, and not recommended for sensitive souls. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http://derrick bang.blogspot.com.

Looking at the big picture of systemic racism BY JOHN M. LIU Special to The Enterprise

fter teaching race and ethnic studies for over 40 years, I welcome the recent commentary and articles in The Davis Enterprise that have greatly widened the scope of discussion on systemic racism. The excellent June 14 commentary by Spencer Bowen’s “Awakened and amazed” as well as the June 12 front-page articles “Former UCD star calls out racism in gymnastics” and “BLM fight closes sandwich shop” provide an opportunity to deepen our understanding of what constitutes systemic racism. Let’s begin with Bowen’s commentary. Two of his points deserve emphasis. First, he asserts that dealing with systemic racism requires looking at more than perceived or actual prejudice. The maintenance and perpetuation of racism are based on the actions not only taken within institutional settings but also in everyday behavior. Whether prejudice is present or not, it is these actions occurring at both levels that continuously discriminate against

COMMENTARY marginalized groups in society. These actions are articulated in formal policy, informal policy, and in the ways people carry out their daily interaction. This is what social scientists mean by institutionalized behavior. A major consequence of the institutionalization of behavior is that people don’t have to think about what or why they are doing things, so it seems to them that this is just the way things have always been done and it’s OK. A second point notes that systemic racism is embedded in a larger system of inequality. Systems result from the interdependence and interrelatedness of its various components. Institutionalized racism occurs within a larger system of inequality. The focus on systemic racism is critical because it represents the tip of the iceberg in that it is the culmination of other societal inequalities. Discrimination based on gender, class, sexual orientation, sexual identity or differential mental and physical development, are all magnified by how a person is seen racially.

White feminists in the 1960s and ’70s noted that white women faced a double jeopardy because of their gender and generally lower class position. Black feminists faced the same barriers but when race was added, they were contending with a triple jeopardy. Thus, while racism may be the most prominent form of discrimination, particularly because of the open violence taken against racially defined minorities, dealing with systemic racism will also require addressing other forms of inequality. The articles on Alexis Brown and Mr. Pickles illustrate how systemic racism works both at the institutional and individual levels. Brown is one of the UCD gymnastic program’s most decorated individuals. In her final two years of competition in 2017 and 2018, she chose to follow Colin Kaepernick’s lead to take a knee during the national anthem in protest of the wonton police killing of African Americans. After one of the first meets in which she took this action, she says she was admonished by her coach, who in effect took the position that gymnastics wasn’t the proper

forum for the expression of political views. Parents that Alexis confronted at one meet accentuated this point.

imilarly, the owners of Mr. Pickles said they were following franchise policy that employees should not engage in political activity in the work place. They believed the actions of their employees and protesters led the corporate office of Mr. Pickles to the withdrawal of their franchise. The stances taken by the coach and the owners are positions that many people might support as reasonable and race-neutral. But what if we add how people in other civil spaces have reacted over similar matters in the past. Among these people are those who oppose any discussion in the primary and secondary schools that require political action, or the mention of political issues in sermons, or the idea of mass protests since they promote civil chaos. The cumulative effect of these objections is to severely limit the ways in which marginalized groups can legitimately express their grievances. For those of you who may

be interested seeing this graphically expressed in a concise and clever manner, see https://boingboing. net/2020/06/09/a-drseuss-protest-1st-ams. html. Remember that a central slogan in the George Floyd protests was “Can you hear me now?” While the coach’s response and the owner’s reliance on corporate policy provide a glimpse of how racism is evident in informal and formal policy, the responses of individuals in both cases demonstrate how racial discrimination is reinforced in our daily interactions. In Brown’s case, two of her teammates told her in private that they supported her stance but wouldn’t stand up for her for fear of censure from other teammates. This was also true of the people who privately supported the owners of Mr. Pickle. In both cases, their silence supported the continuance of racial discrimination. By not supporting Alexis openly, the gymnasts allowed her act to be seen as a solitary action rather than representing a far more extensive problem. The private supporters of the owners of Mr. Pickle in Davis also contributed

LETTERS Pick this one up I have an inspiring suggestion for your summer reading list, “Unrigged: How Americans Are Battling Back to Save Democracy.” The author is David Daley, a journalist whose work appears in the New Yorker, The Atlantic, Slate, The Washington Post, The Guardian and New York Magazine. He is a senior fellow at FairVote and the former editor in chief of Salon. He’s an authority on gerrymandering and wrote “Ratf**ked: Why Your Vote Doesn’t Count.” His latest book shares stories of the activist groups that paved the way for the historic 2018 blue wave and offers a vivid portrait of a nation transformed by a new civic awakening. We could use some inspiration as we prepare for a grueling campaign, leading up to November’s enormously consequential election! Two local political action organizations — Indivisible Yolo and Sister District CA-3 — are partnering to offer Mr. Daley’s book as a community read. The first event associated with the Community Read will be a Zoom gathering at 7 p.m. July 15. UC Davis associate professor of sociology Stephanie L. Mudge, author of “Leftism Reinvented: Western Parties from Socialism to Neoliberalism,” will lead a discussion of “Unrigged.” Later in the summer, we are offering another Zoom event at which Daley will be on hand to delve deeper into the book and answer questions. “Unrigged” is available at The Avid Reader. Less than a month to read it before the July 15 event! To register for the community read, go to bit.ly/unrigged. Kari Peterson Sister District CA-3

Rowe’s response Planning commissioner Greg Rowe’s litany of excuses for the Commission’s unanimous rejection of the University Commons

redevelopment was disappointing yet comical. Rowe contends that the “decision reflects the community’s expectation that the commission will uphold good land use practices and support neighborhood integrity.” I am curious as to which community Rowe refers. Aside from the privileged longterm homeowners, most Davis residents struggle to afford housing due to the city’s housing shortage. More housing supply, such as the proposed University Commons redevelopment, would alleviate this shortage and benefit most Davis residents. Rowe appears to have a skewed view of the community based on his perception of letters and public comment related to Brixmor’s development proposal. Most people do not know what an EIR is. Nor do they know to appear at Planning Commission meetings to comment in support of a reasonable redevelopment proposal. Most of us are working, studying, or caring for our families when these Planning Commission meetings occur. I encourage Rowe to consider the concerns of the majority of Davis residents rather than the NIMBYs who unfortunately dominate discourse in the city’s public affairs. Thankfully, our city has a reasonable and responsible

Great American Outdoors Act When I was young, I would love sightseeing the beautiful mountains and waterfalls Yosemite National Park has to offer. My family and I would vacation there every summer. Recently, the U.S. Senate voted to pass the Great American Outdoors Act, a bipartisan bill to permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) at $900 million annually and provide $9.5 billion over five years to fix maintenance problems that are plaguing America’s public lands. Meanwhile, the House introduced its version of the bill last Thursday with six Democratic and six Republican original cosponsors. The final vote isn’t expected until the fourth week of the month. While I’m stuck at home, I’m urging Rep. John Garamendi to vote in favor of this bill. I’m

Don’t skimp on affordable housing The owners of the University Mall, the Brixmor Property Group, have applied to the city for permission todemolish the existing shopping center and replace it with a mixed-use project of 264 apartments and 136,000 sqare-feet ground-floor retail. We also note that Commissioner Darryl Rutherford has stated that the Commissioners themselves had multiple objections. “I’m a little disappointed in what we’re seeing here.” He called the proposed affordable housing plan ($600,000 in lieu fees) “an atrocity” and a “slap in the face.” Davis once had one of the strongest inclusionary housing requirements in the state. That policy intended to create affordable units in every major rental project built in Davis, enabling low-income families to live in Davis, and create the possibility of a robustly diverse community. Many minority households whose

to the continuous operation of racial discrimination by not examining the implications of the stance taken by the owners. Hence another prominent slogan of the George Floyd demonstrations: “Silence is violence.” Please note, I am not accusing any of these individuals of being prejudiced, which I am certain they would claim if asked individually. It is not their attitudes but their actions that allow the system to operate as is. They may not have been aware of the racist consequences. This is one aspect of implicit racism. Recognizing what systemic behavior is at the institutional and personal level is an essential first step in our efforts to create a more equitable society. Any meaningful changes will require racism and other forms of inequality to be addressed simultaneously. It will also necessitate the ceding of privileges, material and psychological. Are we collectively ready to do so? — John M. Liu is a professor emeritus at the UC Irvine departments of Asian American studies and sociology.

members work in Davis are part of the low-income population and these affordable units were often their only entry to living and working in Davis. Of the 264 apartments, not one will be set aside as an affordable unit. Instead of providing any affordable units, the developers have offered to deposit $600,000 into the Housing Trust Fund. This bypasses the glaring need of our community and is an insult to our historic vision and commitments. The current awakening to and rage over racial and economic inequities in our nation require new and bold actions; our past failures to undo the racial and economic injustices that plague our land require us to create communities where all people can thrive. Ensuring that our housing policies contribute to more inclusivity and equality in our city is especially critical. As religious leaders in Davis, we believe the city mustnotapprove a plan for264 apartments that perpetuate the divisions tearing at the fabric of our communities. We must take concrete steps to provide more, not less, affordable housing that can make possible a diverse community in Davis. The University Mall proposal must be at the very least a stepping stone toward our City’s moral commitment to inclusion and affordability. Now is the time to make these bold changes and to walk in partnership with the spirit of these transformative times. — The Rev. Brandon Austin, Davis United Methodist Church; The Rev.

It’s time to ‘borrow’ a classic I

n the old days, when Davis Enterprise columnist Bob Dunning went on vacation, he ran a “contest” asking readers to submit their most brilliant thoughts to replace his daily position on Page 2. The first couple of years, I entered but never got picked. So I decided to start my own column, usually on Fridays in this sports section, and have saved a postage stamp every summer for the past decade. But now, during this pandemic, I’ve grown tired of writing volumes about the impact of the coronavirus, how interesting Zoom meetings are, did Carolyn’s cat really learn to shoot free throws and is there going to be a

fall sports season? As for the latter topic, the dozens of experts I’ve talked with have finally reached consensus: They don’t know. So, after chatting with county health officials today — and reading Yolo’s Health and Human Services Department’s Roadmap to Recovery — I’ve decided to abdicate this space for at least one Friday afternoon. In the tradition of Dunning’s guest-columnist sweepstakes, I am asking you to submit a think piece that takes us as far away from the uncertainty of life with coronavirus as you can get us. ■ Recall a moment in time that formed your allegiance to your favorite team.

■ Remember the thrills and challenges of raising your sportsminded kids. You must have at least $16,000 invested in halftime orange slices by now. ■ And, sure, if it’s really unique, go ahead and tell us some of the nifty things your family is doing to while away the hours as we’re committed to staying inside longer than

Punxsutawney Phil ever imagined possible. Keep your prose to between 500 and 600 words and email it to me at bgallaudet41@gmail. com. Deadline for submission is July 15. We’ll run the winner first. If worthy runners-up exist, we’ll publish those, too. Writers of published works will get their own column logos (with picture).

nd there are prizes, too. If you’re judged “the best,” you earn two tickets to either an A’s or Giants game (your choice ... providing there is a season). The winner also gets lunch with me after the coronavirus all-clear is sounded. If you

can’t wait for that, I’ll drive slowly by your house and throw you a sackful of Western Bacon Cheeseburgers from Carl’s Jr. All entries will receive a face mask signed by members of the sports staff of The Davis Enterprise. So, if you’ve been complaining about nothing to do, here’s your chance. Dazzle me and our newspaper’s readers by spinning a tale or two that deserves to stand tall on these very pages. And, sure, Bob Dunning is welcome to enter. No hard feelings here. — Reach sports editor Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet41@ gmail.com or call 530-320-4456.

BWC champs have several hurdles ahead Gross discusses all things Aggie women’s basketball BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor Nothing is easy in this day and age of the coronavirus pandemic ... People in the same neighborhoods are asked to separate themselves from friends and family. Heading to the grocery store can be dangerous. Doctors still wrestle with identifying symptoms as different parts of the country deal with the spread differently. At the same time, college coaches across the nation struggle to provide proper services for studentathletes while constantly recalculating the protocols required to get players back on track for fall seasons. And while preparations for those fall seasons are in hurry-up mode, winter sports like basketball aren’t that far off, either. But Yolo County public health officials told the local Board of Supervisors on Tuesday that the county has recorded 141 new COVID-19 cases in the last two weeks — 38.5 percent of all cases reported locally since the pandemic began. The NCAA told member schools they could begin voluntary workouts on June 1. But that has backfired for the University of Houston and Texas, who had started — then shut down — their carefully considered football sessions when players involved began testing positive for COVID-19. At UC Davis, Director of Athletics Kevin Blue told The Enterprise: “Facilities are available on a very limited basis for voluntary workouts. “Thorough safety protocols are in place. All student-athletes must be cleared by a team physician before having access (to campus facilities). The clearance process currently includes a COVID-19 test. Also, all studentathletes, coaches and staff coming to campus each day must pass a symptom checking survey.” Through Thursday, so far so good, according to Blue, who says UCD is following the leads of state and local public-health officials and edicts by Gov. Gavin Newsom. As sports like soccer and football keep their fingers crossed that their 2020 seasons will be a reality, basketball begins to ramp up, too. Jennifer Gross, the coach of the reigning four-time Big West Conference women’s hoops

champions, has some welldocumented hurdles to clear before even considering workouts. The Aggies have a roster that includes five foreign-born participants. Four of which — newcomer Holly Winterburn (England), Sage Stobbart (British Columbia), Mackenzie Trpcic (Ontario) and Denmark’s Lena Svanholm — haven’t returned to the United States Jennifer since the Gross pandemic.

Megan Jones of Scotland remained in California. Getting visas lined up and trying to schedule the foreign players’ 14-day mandatory quarantines once they do arrive in town has been priority No. 1 for Gross. Meanwhile, planning continues for business as usual in 2020-21 Big West Conference play. Gross says because of UCD being on the quarter schedule, her players wouldn’t report until early August, when Session 2 begins. “If we are allowed to stat training in the middle of July, we would do some optional stuff for those players who would be in town,” the former Aggie AllAmerican told The Enterprise. Right now, that means Makaila Sanders and Kayla Konrad. “Other than that, we’re in the wait-and-see mode as to what the season is going to look like,” Gross offered. “Will it start on time? “It’s still hard to imagine in a sport like basketball, where you’re playing with the same equipment and there’s a lot of physical contact, how it’s all going to be managed.” Gross points to the athletic department’s head physician Jeremiah Ray as the person on campus who has helped develop a “stringent plan” should sports be given the green light for a fullscale return. “For college students that weren’t anticipating to be home for six months, I think they might be ready (to return to campus),”

Davis High football practice finally got underway as players worked out under the watchful eyes of the Blue Devil coaching staff Thursday in Community Park.

Seeing is believing

It’s not a hoax; DHS footballers are on the field BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor If you’ve recently walked past a part of Community Park known as The Bowl near the Davis Arts Center, you probably rubbed your eyes in disbelief ... Yes, those were football players working out in the afternoon. It wasn’t a hologram. It wasn’t heat stroke. Those young men were members of the Davis High program that only recently received the OK from Yolo County health officials to practice. The go-ahead came with conditions. The Blue Devils had have temperature checks and answered a battery of questions before proceeding onto the makeshift football field. Once on the pitch, the players also had to maintain social distancing. And coach Steve Smyte’s program had to work out under the guise of a Davis Junior Blue

Devils summer camp. You see, Davis High facilities remain under lockdown while local school officials weigh the latest county and state health guidelines before making an in-house decision to open a venue like Ron & Mary Brown Stadium. After exhaustive Zoom meetings, emails and phone calls during the front end of the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 edition of the Blue Devils finally met for the first time as a team on June 17. This week, the conditioning sessions went Monday through Thursday. “We’ll make sure our players are safe,” Smyte told The Enterprise. “Getting them back training in person gives them a sense of hope (for the upcoming season) ... yet we need to do it in a way that’s going to be safe for them.” While Smyte admits it would

be nice to use school facilities like the weight room, showers and Brown Stadium, he added: “We’re totally supportive of the district and school decisions. We understand what the situation is. It’s hard for them to have clarity.” It must be remembered that Davis High football is coming off its best season in decades, going 10-2, capturing the Delta League championship and winning a first-round playoff game. The DHS nonconference schedule is due to open Aug. 21 versus Vacaville. Additional guidance is expected from Yolo County Health & Human Services today and a district spokesman says schools officials could state their reaction the same day. The county green-lighted local schools to resume on-campus activity beginning June 12, leaving decisions on when to reopen to individual districts.

EDWARDS FAMILY ATHLETIC CENTER

Another bold step for UCD BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor Shortly after arriving at UC Davis in the summer of 2017 as the school’s seventh chancellor, Gary S. May unveiled a strategic vision for his new school. Formerly the chair of the College of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech, May made no secret of his unabashed love for “Star Trek,” so much so that he named his UCD long-range plan “To Boldly Go.” There couldn’t have been a better fit for the new guy at a Gary May new school. Progressive, steeped in worldly accom- UCD chancellor plishments from engineering to agriculture to arts and letters, UCD is on the cutting edge wherever one turns. Enology and viticulture, law, animal sciences ... with more than 100 courses of study, our Aggies have left few stones

unturned since 1908. May’s calculated approach won early praise on campus and throughout academia. This St. Louis native, who has degrees from Cal and Georgia Tech, had won the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Math and Engineering Mentorship. He had a résumé that ensured that UC Davis would continue a robust commitment to academics. But what about athletics, I wondered? May and I had the chance to talk about that vision, too. A couple of years ago, the chancellor and I sat at his College Park home and discussed the future of Aggie athletics — what he calls “the front porch” of the campus.

“This is a first-class facility that will maximize one’s time as an athlete, and a student, while at UC Davis.”

May, women’s basketball coach Jennifer Gross and Jim Carroll, associate vice chancellor and university architect.

BOLD: Center will help with UCD recruitment From Page B6 He promised at that time that sports were every bit as important to the reputation and psyche of the university as medical research or teaching Chaucer or creating new strategies to feed the world. One of his primary points in our 60-minute discussion? “UC Davis must have better facilities for coaches and student-athletes,” May told me. While backing the vision of another Davis then-newcomer, Director of Athletics Kevin Blue, who arrived in the spring of 2017, May mentioned: “I think you’ll be surprised by how quickly we can get things done ... given the energy I feel in this athletics department.” On Wednesday, with official groundbreaking ceremonies for the $52 million campus student-athlete performance center — from this day forward known as the Edwards Family Athletic Center — UC Davis has, indeed, “gone boldly.” “This student-athlete performance center is a perfect example of the growing collaboration between UC Davis Athletics and UC Davis Health,” May said. “This is a first-class facility that will maximize one’s time as an athlete, and a student, while at UC Davis,” May told a socially distanced handful of attendees and countless thousands online before the ground was broken at the corner of LaRue and Hutchison roads. “For UC Davis Health, this is the ultimate fulfillment of a goal to have

an expanded footprint on campus and provide sports medicine access to our local community.”Said Blue: “I am excited about this facility because of the transformational impact it will have on our student-athletes, specifically their health and well-being.” And it’s not going to hurt in recruiting new Aggies as the center joins a revamped LaRue Field softball park, the constantly improved baseball facility at Dobbins Stadium and Phil Swimley Field, the Schaal Aquatics Center, Aggie Field Hockey Facility and the recently renamed UC Davis Health Stadium as proof that a storied sports history continues to be that front porch to UC Davis. The Edwards Family Athletic Center will be 38,000 square feet chockablock with sports-medicine teaching components, meeting rooms, a massive weight room, sundry training nooks and crannies, (deep breath) coaching and administrative offices, event space, a natural-grass practice pitch (to be known as Bob Biggs Field) and a 16,000-square-foot rehabilitation of the Bob Foster Team Room ... And none of this would have been possible — despite the converging visions of May and Blue — without the constant urging and unprecedented department financial support of benefactors Bruce and Diane Edwards. “Bruce Edwards and his family have made an exceptional impact on our organization,” Blue explained on Wednesday. “His donor contributions are extraordinary, but more than that, he has really invested himself in

getting to know our student-athletes, coaches and being there every step of the way throughout this process. “The depth of knowledge he possesses about our student-athletes, coaches and teams is special.” An important aspect of the center includes a new launch pad for Blue’s EVO program, which mentors student-athletes about career paths and how to matriculate from school to a real-world career. “Game-changer” is a phrase we’ve heard since Blue first unveiled the project in November of 2018. With May on the bridge of what UCD football coach and event emcee Dan Hawkins called “Starship UC Davis,” Aggie Nation can be pretty sure that the chancellor jotted in his notebook, “Captain’s log, stardate June 24, 2020 ... go forth and prosper.” Notes: Paul and Nancy Sallaberry were on video discussing the strengthand-conditioning center that will bear their names. ... Nancy and Bill Roe and Claudia and Roger Salquist, important longtime leadership contributors and Aggie donors, were invited to be part of the festivities through recorded messages. ... Benefactors Diane and Bruce West, for whom the 200-seat auditorium will be named, joined Mike Child on video comments. Renee and Mike Child will be the namesakes of the facility’s EVO lounge. ... Aggie men’s basketball coach Jim Les joined women’s counterpart Jennifer Gross in addressing the event, then joining in the ceremonial turning of the first shovels full of dirt.

Gross admitted. “The reality is, they still have apartments here that they’re paying ... most of them. “As long as we can provide a safe environment for them to train, which I think our department is doing a great job with, they kind of feel ‘OK, I might as well be here training with my teammates.’ ” As for the international players, Gross says her team has joined athletics in working with the International Center on a routine to get her four Aggies — and the three dozen other foreign players — back in Davis. “We’ll just take it day-by-day,” Gross continued. “We understand that everybody’s safety is first and foremost ... and if we have to start a week or two later — and have kids that don’t participate right away — that is fine, too. We’re just going to be as flexible as we can.” Gross said she is comfortable in following football’s lead while investigating what other schools are doing. But the bottom-line decisions will come from Blue via public-health official directives. Fans will remember the first-place Aggie women had the carpet, er, court pulled out from underneath them the day before they were to start defense of their BWC title. It was the morning of March 13 that the conference announced cancelation of the tournament due to the coronavirus outbreak. Later that afternoon, the NCAA scrapped the rest of the winter season and canceled the spring calendar. Despite the abrupt end to 2019-20, Gross remembers the night at The Pavilion that UCD vanquished UC Riverside, 78-69, to clinch its fourth consecutive league banner. “It was still pretty cool that our seniors got a chance to cut down the nets in front of our fans,” she recalled. “I was glad we at least got through that part of the season.” Gross says that while she still keeps in touch with her players, the massive number of Zoom meetings have tapered off: “When connecting now, we’re trying to make it not so heavily about basketball ... just trying to support each other.” So, coach, what’s your gut feeling about collegiate sports resuming in the fall or winter? “It feels like things are progressing. The thing that makes me a bit nervous is that the cases throughout the county and California are still increasing,” Gross offered. “Yet, it feels like ... things are starting to open back up a little bit. I was surprised that club baseball and AAU basketball for high schools was starting back up.” Gross continued: “I would hope we’re going to have a season. I wouldn’t be surprised, though, if it was a shortened or delayed season. Starting up in August seems very soon to me — but that’s just 100 percent my own opinion. Gross said it is “super-hard” to figure out how to make it all work in safe way: “It’s going to be a learning process in the next month or two.” — Reach sports editor Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet41@gmail.com or 530-320-4456.

Now's a prime time for a car seat safety review Special to The Enterprise Although many families aren't driving as much these days, it's always important to make sure you are keeping your kids as safe as possible in the car. Now that we're spending more time at home, this is a good time for parents and caregivers to brush up on expert advice for choosing, installing and properly using car seats, booster seats and seat belts. Making sure your child is buckled up correctly, on every car trip, is one of the best ways you can protect their health.

Stay safe on short trips Most drives these days may be quick jaunts for necessary errands or appointments, but that doesn't mean it's safe for kids to skip their car seats or ride up front. According to a new study from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), one in three caregivers point to short trips as a reason they've sometimes skipped the car seat or booster seat. But a car crash can happen anywhere, at any time, which is why kids must be buckled in correctly every

time. And no matter where you're going, children under 13 should always ride in the back seat.

exceeded either of those limits. Even if they beg and plead, you're the parent, and you know best.

Practice installation

Now that you're not rushing to get your child in the car for school or activities, take this opportunity to review your vehicle and car seat manuals and practice accurate installation. Many parents and caregivers report particular difficulty in securing lower anchor attachments and tethers, so if your car seat has those features, take additional time practicing those steps. Note that most car seats should be secured with either lower anchors or seat belts, not both.

The last time you bought a car seat, do you remember filling out an online or mail-in form to register it? If you're not sure, take a few minutes to go online and register so you can receive important safety updates from the manufacturers, including recalls.

Protect older kids too For their own safety, kids 8 to 12 should use a booster seat until they outgrow its size limits or get big enough for adult seat belts. You'll know they're ready for a seat belt alone when it lies snugly across their shoulder and chest without crossing their neck or face, with the lap belt snugly crossing the upper thighs (not the stomach). Even if they're ready for an adult seat belt, children under 13 should never sit in the front seat.
