Lee won’t seek new term on City Council

Plastic dividers separate tables at the University of Beer, which was cleared to reopen in June. Closing bars again was a topic of debate among Yolo County Supervisors on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, the county acted to shut them down.

County to shut down bars Indoor dining off, too, as regional COVID numbers get worse BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY

supervisors expressed reluctance about closing local bars as Sacramento and other counties have done, saying there was insufficient data that virus transmission was occurring in those locations. But on Wednesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered all counties on the state’s monitoring list — currently 19 — to close bars and breweries (indoor and out) as well as indoor dine-in restaurants, indoor wineries and tasting rooms; indoor family entertainment centers (like

Enterprise staff writer Yolo County is expected to land on the state’s monitoring list due to rising COVID-19 cases and an increased test positivity rate, county officials said Wednesday, so the county will close all bars and a number of indoor businesses beginning Friday morning. They will remain closed for at least three weeks. The announcement came just a day after some Yolo County

bowling alleys); indoor movie theaters; and indoor zoos, museums and cardrooms (except for those on tribal lands). In a press release issued Wednesday evening, the county said that due to increases in confirmed COVID-19 cases over the past two weeks, Yolo is likely to exceed the disease transmission criteria that would place it on the state’s monitoring list. “To help slow the spread of COVID-19 and align with surrounding counties, Yolo County will pre-emptively close the same sectors that the state has required counties on the list to close, effective July 3 at 12:01 a.m. for a minimum of three

weeks,” the county said. Yolo County had previously exceeded the benchmark for total cases in a two-week period, but now the test positivity rate — the percentage of COVID-19 tests yielding positive results in the last week — is nearing the 8 percent benchmark set by the state, the county reported Wednesday. The county said the sevenday rate as of Wednesday was 7.1 percent and that rate has risen continuously over the past two weeks. Meanwhile, 108 new cases have been reported in the county just since Monday —

UC Academic Council calls for reforms to campus police BY CALEB HAMPTON

“The statement offers a visionary and transformative approach to address the enduring concerns from campus communities about distressing interactions between campus police and students and faculty of color, the militarization of campus police, and the excessive and potentially lethal uses of force during campus protests,” wrote Academic Council Chair Kum-Kum Bhavnani. “You will see that the recommendations are substantial.” The Academic Council has recommended that UC: ■ “Substantially defund

Enterprise staff writer The University of California Academic Council endorsed a set of recommendations last week to restructure the university’s safety and security infrastructure and substantially reduce funding for campus police. The recommendations, described by the council as “a guide for rethinking the role of police on UC campuses,” were published Monday in a letter addressed to UC President Janet Napolitano.

When November rolls around and residents of three newly formed Davis City Council districts head to the polls, they’ll see some familiar names on the ballot, including two incumbents and possibly a former councilwoman throwing her hat in the ring again. A name they won’t see: Brett Lee. As he prepared to hand over the mayor’s gavel on Tuesday LEE night to incoming Not running Mayor Gloria Partida, Lee made an announcement: After having served two terms on the council, including the last two years as mayor, he will not be seeking reelection. “I am looking forward to serving out the remainder of my term to November and looking forward to seeing who will be the next representative who will be representing the newly formed District 2,” Lee said. So far three candidates have said they plan to seek that job: Councilman Will Arnold; Dillan Horton,

Briefly CHP launches holiday patrols Wherever people choose to observe Independence Day, they can expect the California Highway Patrol to be out in force for a maximum-enforcement eriod From 6 p.m. Friday to midnight on Sunday. As California gradually reopens, many people will be eager to celebrate the holiday weekend with family and friends. To help reduce the risk and slow the spread of COVID-19, the California Department of Public Health is urging the public to avoid traveling long distances for vacations or pleasure as much as possible. However, if you decide to leave home, take steps to keep everyone safe like wearing face coverings, physical distancing and washing hands frequently. “Should the upcoming weekend include a road trip, stay safe and healthy with a few additional precautions,” CHP Commissioner Warren Stanley said. “Obeying speed limits, buckling up and not driving impaired or distracted will be more important than ever.” Traffic has been lighter on California roadways the past few months, which has resulted in an increase in citations for excessive speed. Motorists are encouraged to take their time this holiday weekend and arrive safely at their destinations. During the Memorial Day MEP, CHP officers issued 458 citations for speeding in excess of 100 mph, a 173 percent increase over 2019.

About us

FRIDAY, JULY 3, 2020

Can’t touch this — Grammar time I ’m beginning to think that in addition to an official city of Davis poet laureate, what we really need is a city grammarian. And, since a number of Davisites occasionally frequent the great city of Woodland, maybe the grammarian should have countywide duties as well. It was just north of Woodland — halfway to Knights Landing, in fact - that one day I encountered a roadside family fruit stand with the sign “Fresh Melon’s.” Made me want to take out my Magic Marker and cross out that unwanted apostrophe. Thanks to a tip some time ago from my friend Austin, who asked to remain anonymous, I found myself staring at the 2019-20 calendar for the Davis Joint Unified School District. It was there I learned that on Feb. 17 we celebrated “President’s Day” with a day off from school because it’s a legal holiday. This was, as you may remember, back in the days when our kids actually went to school. When I was a kid growing up in this town, we got days off for Lincoln’s birthday on Feb. 12 and Washington’s birthday on Feb. 22. Then one day the feds decided to make the third Monday in

more than one president is being honored, which makes it plural, but not that those presidents necessarily own or possess the day. In other words, if the school were sponsoring Apples and Oranges Day to convince kids to eat more fresh fruit, no one would dream of calling it “Apples’ and Oranges’ Day.” Again, there is no possession even hinted.

February a legal holiday to honor all presidents, including Richard Nixon. Davis, however, refused to let go of the “Lincoln’s birthday” day off, which the district has designated as a “local holiday.” Apparently, Lincoln was president only in Davis. Thus, the apostrophe in “President’s Day” is misplaced, because where it is currently on the district’s calendar would indicate that we are honoring just one president. However, since we are honoring all presidents — as in plural — it should properly be “Presidents’ Day.” Or, as The New York Times would say “Presidents’s Day.” Hey, that’s their style and I’m fine with it. I do think you can also argue that “Presidents Day” doesn’t need an apostrophe at all, given that

nd then, with all these apostrophes floating around in my head, I drove downtown to conduct high finance at my favorite bank. Given that is was nearing 5 p.m., there was no parking anywhere, but then — gift from God — I noticed someone pulling out from one of the handful of spots the bank reserves for its special customers. As I unfastened my seat belt, grabbed my checkbook and began to exit my car, I noticed a highly professional sign staring at me through the windshield. “Customer Parking Only” it said at the top in bold, bright letters. But I already knew that. And I was, at that very moment, about to become a customer once I covered the 20 paces from my vehicle to the bank’s front door. “Unauthorized vehicles will be

towed away.” Notice, they will not just be towed. No, a simple tow would not be sufficient to punish such a scofflaw. Unauthorized cars will not only be towed, they’ll be towed away. There’s something especially ominous about being towed away. Like maybe all the way to Woodland. Or worse. Plus, who is going to determine whether or not my car is unauthorized? I mean, I don’t have a parking permit that I can put on the dashboard that says I’m about to do some serious banking. Hold on, there’s more. In addition to unauthorized vehicles being towed away, this towing will be done “at owners expense.” Wait, does my car have multiple owners? And which one of those owners will be responsible for the towing? A simple apostrophe between the ‘r’ and the ‘s’ in “owners” would have answered all those questions, but what does punctuation have to do with banking anyway. Yes, we need an official City Grammarian. Soon. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

Yolo Community Foundation recognizes award recipients Special to The Enterprise The Yolo Community Foundation announced a record-setting five recipients for its Yolo Youth Service Awards. The awards were established in 2007 to reward Yolo County youths for volunteer work with local nonprofit organizations. The award recognizes the importance of developing and cultivating a sense of community and service within the youth of Yolo County, and encourages local nonprofits to engage with youth volunteers. Meg Stallard, YCF Board President, noted that “the main purpose of this award is for us to show how much we value young people who give their own time to help others. Yolo County is a better place because of them. “We know this has been a

challenging year to be a high school senior, and we appreciate the good work we know these students have done and will continue to do to serve their communities. We wish them the best in their future educational endeavors.” The five students given awards this year are: Zahra Baxi, a Da Vinci High graduate from Davis, who began her volunteer work with Davis Media Access at age 11, when she enrolled in a Stop Motion Animation summer camp. She continued with DMA, and started an after-school animation club. She has been trained on the DMA equipment, served as a production intern and helped produce a local series about teens. She was honored by DMA as their volunteer of the

year at last fall’s Philanthropy Day hosted by Yolo Community Foundation. Scripture Brandenburg is a recent graduate of Sacramento Charter High School who lives in West Sacramento. He did his volunteering for Computers 4 Kids, which provides students and other community members with refurbished computer equipment to help bridge the digital divide. Anna Grexton graduated from River City High School in West Sacramento in June. She worked with Out of the Box Ministries at Trinity Presbyterian

Church, participating in their regular food distribution program. She helped pack the bags regularly, and would often welcome new groups of volunteers, give them instructions and find jobs for them within the program. She also worked with other students participating in a backpack giveaway by the Yolo County Children’s Alliance. Elena Olvera, a graduate of Pioneer High School in Woodland, has participated in the Yolo Community Band for several years. This community band is made up mostly of adults from throughout the county, but

Elena has been an active student member. Monzerrat Garcia, a recent graduate of Winters High School, volunteered for the Success Program through RISE, Inc., a nonprofit that serves the rural community to enhance the quality of life and opportunity for self-sufficiency in western Yolo County. The YoYoSA Scholarship award honors for serving more than 60 hours during their high school years at a specific nonprofit. The awards consist of a $1000 scholarship to each student and a $500 grant to the sponsoring nonprofits.

Briefly Crash kills driver on rural road The California Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of a solo vehicle crash near Capay that took the driver's life early Wednesday morning. Roland Salas, 57, of Suisun City, died at the scene of the collision, which occurred shortly after 5 a.m. on eastbound Highway 16 east of County Road 82. Officers arrived to find an Acura RDX that had overturned onto its side. "For unknown reasons, the Acura traveled off the south road edge of State Route 16 and into the south shoulder, where it proceeded to overturn onto its left side," Fitzhugh said. A passing motorist and ambulance personnel extricated Salas from the vehicle, but he succumbed at the scene to his injuries. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Woodland-area CHP office at 530-6624685.

Man accused of attacking mother Davis police reported Thursday the arrest of a 20-year-old man on suspicion of assaulting his mother earlier this week. Lt. Art Camacho said the incident initially involved a vandalism report Monday afternoon from the resident of a Shasta Drive apartment. "Upon their arrival, officers conducted an investigation and found that the suspect in this case, Samuel Mancillas, had reportedly gotten into an argument with his mother about a broken window," Camacho said. "The argument escalated when Mancillas allegedly physically attacked his mother. It was further alleged that before fleeing the scene, Mancillas vandalized items inside the apartment and his mother’s vehicle." Camacho said Mancillas eluded police until about 9:15 p.m. Tuesday, when officers in West Sacramento located him near a restaurant on Ikea Court. Davis police responded and took him into custody on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and vandalism. He was booked into the Yolo County Jail.

UCD uses art therapy for kids SACRAMENTO — As millions of children around the U.S. experience an unprecedented degree of isolation in hospitals amid the coronavirus pandemic, UC Davis Children’s Hospital has been using art therapy to lift spirits. With access to hundreds of photo tiles donated by Mixtiles — whose product turns smartphone pictures into photo tiles that stick and re-stick to walls — children at the hospital have been able to surround themselves with images of their loved ones, whom they cannot see in person due to visitation restrictions implemented by children’s hospitals nationwide. “To promote appropriate social distancing at UC Davis Children’s Hospital, we have moved all of our daily art therapy groups to Zoom,” art therapist Kathleen Lorain said.

COVID cases reported Tuesday at Courtyard BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Two more residents of the Courtyard Healthcare Center in Davis have tested positive for COVID-19, bringing the total number of cases at the skilled nursing facility to five. Four residents and one staff member at Courtyard have tested positive in the last two weeks, representing the most cases in a skilled nursing facility since the outbreak at Stollwood Convalescent Hospital in Woodland earlier this year. That outbreak involved 66 individuals — 32 residents and 34 staff members — and took 17 lives. Skilled nursing facilities across the country have been hit hard by COVID-19 and at least 54,000 residents and workers have died from the coronavirus at nursing homes and other senior longterm care facilities across the country, according to a report Saturday in the New York Times. More than 40 percent of all COVID-19 deaths in this country have occurred in those facilities. In Yolo County, that figure is over 70 percent, with 17 of the county’s 24 deaths occurring at Stollwood. Meanwhile, the county is currently investigating possible outbreaks at three skilled nursing or long-term care facilities in Yolo County, according to county public health director Brian Vaughn. If and when outbreaks are confirmed at those facilities, that information will be released

A message posted Monday on Courtyard’s website said the facility is “aggressively treating and responding to potential community exposures by conducting routine testing of all our residents and staff until such time as a vaccine becomes available or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) instructs otherwise." Courtyard is also working closely with state and local health departments and following their guidance, “and will continue to purposefully augment our systems with new ways to operate that will

enhance protection and prevent the spread of the virus to both staff and residents,” the message said. Those efforts include: ■ Screening staff and essential medical personnel prior to entry and continuing to follow CDC guidelines of prohibiting visitors into the facility. ■ Providing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) based on the staff ’s respective roles and assignments within the facility. ■ Placing all new admissions in a separate observation unit where they are quarantined, tested and monitored for symptoms prior to

being assigned to a standard room. ■ Designating separate wings of the facility for the care of residents who may test positive for COVID19. “Providing for the safety and well-being of our residents and staff is our paramount priority. We especially wish to commend our staff for their steadfast commitment to the care and safety of our residents — we truly are ‘family serving families.’” —Reach Anne Ternus-Bellamy ataternus@davisenterprise.net.

REFORMS: BARS: ‘Have to find a way to move the numbers’ Looking for From Page A1 overhaul From Page A1 these groups should prioritize the participation of those who have traditionally experienced violence and mistreatment at the hands of police. Similar steps should also be considered at the health campuses to address the policing issues identified above, recognizing the higher security needs in these environments.” The recommendations were made after reviewing statements from students and faculty across the UC system about anti-Black police violence. “Students of color, particularly Black students, across our campuses report numerous problematic encounters with campus police, as do many visitors and staff,” the council stated. The Academic Council also based its recommendations on decades of research and scholarship about policing and community safety. “As interdisciplinary scholars, historians, and social scientists have documented, the very foundation of modern American policing is structured in antiBlack repression and criminalization,” the council stated. “Our campus police agencies are not exempt from these legacies and imperatives.” According to the Academic Council, the recommendation to disarm and reduce funding for campus police forces comes after years of less dramatic reforms failed to solve the entrenched problems of violence and anti-Black racism in policing. “We acknowledge the well-intentioned work done by the Senate Systemwide Public Safety Task Force as well as the Presidential Task Force on Universitywide Policing,” the council stated. “Ultimately, however, both of these recent reports fell into the category of narrow-bore and technocratic reforms that have failed to address the underlying roots of racialized policing.” Napolitano has not yet responded publicly to the Academic Council’s recommendations.

including three more cases at the Courtyard Healthcare Center in Davis. Four residents and two staff members at the skilled nursing facility have now tested positive for COVID-19. Ten county residents were hospitalized with COVID-19 on Thursday morning and three additional hospitalizations were reported on the county’s online dashboard Thursday evening. And 97 county residents were in isolation after testing positive with another 198 under quarantine after having been in close contact with someone who tested positive. “Unfortunately, the number of our positive COVID cases continues to increase,” Supervisor Gary Sandy of Woodland said Wednesday. “We have to find a way to move those numbers down again,” he said. “We need everyone to take greater personal responsibility for safeguard-

ing their own health and the health of their fellow community. We all need to help.” Sandy had expressed reluctance on Tuesday to close local businesses, particularly bars, noting that there was no data showing the virus was being spread in those locations. But the state’s press release issued Wednesday noted that, “these sectors are all at high risk of transmission due to a number of features of the businesses and the behaviors that occur within them.” Specifically, the state said, bars and other indoor settings on the closure list feature groups of people that may mix with others for prolonged periods of time, often without a face covering. “Additionally, physical movement within the establishment, duration of time spent in the establishment, and the degree of social mixing among individuals and groups outside one’s household are all significant in these sectors, which substantially elevates

the risk of transmission even where face coverings can be worn,” the state said. “Furthermore, in some of these sectors centered on eating and drinking, compliance with face coverings is not possible for the full duration of time someone spends in these establishments.” The move comes just weeks after restaurants were permitted to reopen to diners and bars opened their doors as well. “While this is a tough step back,” said Supervisor Jim Provenza of Davis, “it’s a needed step to ensure that residents from neighboring counties whose bars and indoor dining have been shut down by the state will not congregate here, and, above all, to reduce the amount of severe illness and fatalities that inevitably follow these kinds of spikes.” — Reach Anne Ternus-Bellamy at aternus@davisenterprise.net.

Ave. Both locations require registration in advance and neither is a drivethrough location. Meanwhile, the testing done by OptumServe in West Sacramento for the last month has been extended to July 25. Testing there is by appointment only, Tuesdays through Saturdays, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., by calling 888-634-1123 or

completing an online application at https://lhi. care/covidtesting. Appointment slots are usually available by week and open the Thursday before, according to county spokeswoman Jenny Tan. The West Sacramento testing site is at Club West, located 1125 Riverbank Road, and testing is open to anyone in the community over age 12, regardless of documentation status. The cost of the test will be covered by the state for those who do not have health insurance and insurers will be billed for those who do. There is no out-of-pocket cost. The West Sacramento site has been open since June 2 and has already tested 4,143 people. Another 1,856 people were tested when the site was located in Woodland for the month of May. OptumServe will be able to test up to 135 people a day with test results available within 48 to 72 hours.

State agency approves funds for Mutual Housing Special to The Enterprise SACRAMENTO — The state Department of Housing and Community Development has approved a major funding award for Mutual Housing California’s proposal to build a new affordable housing development on Stockton Boulevard in south Sacramento. In a letter last week, the state agency notified Mutual Housing California and Sacramento County that it has awarded $14,554,300 in “No Place Like Home” funds to their joint funding application for the 127-unit Mutual Housing on the Boulevard community that is slated for construction in the 7300 block of Stockton Boulevard. The county Board of Supervisors voted last December to partner with Mutual Housing to apply for the funds available under the $2 billion Proposition 2 ballot measure approved by

California voters in 2018. “We are enormously happy that the state saw the value in this project,” said Mutual Housing CEO Roberto Jimenez. “More than half of the homes we build on the Boulevard — 67 out of 127 — will go to individuals and families coming out of homelessness, with a full range of supportive services available on the premises to help them overcome the barriers that may have led to their housing instability.” Sacramento County Behavioral Health Director Ryan Quist also welcomed the approval of the Mutual Housing award. “We are very excited to see this project come to fruition,” Quist said. “This represents Sacramento County’s ongoing commitment to develop permanent supportive housing for homeless individuals and provide community-based support for individuals with behavioral health challenges.”

chair of the Davis Police Accountability Commission; and Colin Walsh, a member of the Davis Tree Commission. The second district, formed along with four other districts when the city switched to by-district elections last fall, encompasses a swath of central and north Davis. It is bordered by Highway 113 on the west and Oak Avenue on the east, north from Russell Boulevard to Covell Boulevard, then further east to Catalina and up to the northern edge of the city. Arnold and Lee joined their colleagues on the council last fall in voting unanimously for the map that created that district, knowing they both resided within its boundaries. At the time, Lee had said he was planning to seek reelection while Arnold had not announced a decision. Arnold said Thursday he will be seeking re-election and will make a formal announcement soon. Lee, however, is not. Horton, meanwhile, announced his candidacy over a year ago, well before the switch to district elections and back when the next election was expected to take place in March 2020. He also resides in District 2. But District 2 is not the only district on the November ballot: two others are as well.

ARNOLD

In District 3, incumbent Lucas Frerichs — now vice mayor — is seeking reelection and has one challenger so far, Larry Guenther. Guenther, a resident of Old East Davis, previously ran for City Council in 2018. District 3 encompasses downtown, a portion of North Davis and everything east to Pole Line Road. Finally, the newly formed District 5 is on the ballot, one which includes all of South Davis and does not currently have a representative on the council. The only individual to file a candidate intention statement with the city clerk in District 5 so far is former Councilwoman Rochelle Swanson, who chose not to seek reelection in 2018 after serving two terms on the council. The deadline for filing nomination papers for the November election is Aug. 12. Two districts that won’t be on that ballot: District 4, which Partida represents; and District 1, where Councilman Dan Carson resides. Both of those districts, which represent east and

FRERICHS

west Davis, will be on the ballot in November 2022.

Stepping away As for Lee, the outgoing mayor said Thursday his decision not to run again stems in part from the change to district elections, which extended his current term from March to November. “Eight-plus years is a fairly substantial amount of time,” he said of his terms in office. “And I accomplished the majority of things I set out to accomplish.” The accomplishments he’s most proud of being a part of include the Woodland-Davis clean water project — and making the original proposal slightly smaller and less costly — as well as putting more money into road repairs and maintenance than the city was when he first joined the council. A more positive relationship between the city and UC Davis — including a formal agreement that the university will build more on-campus housing — is one of the most important longterm accomplishments he’s been a part of, Lee said. But he also has five

months left on the council and has several priorities he’ll be focusing on. They include fixSWANSON ing the Mace mess, setting up an overnight shelter for the homeless and helping the city navigate the COVID-19 crisis, including “making sure we’re healthy and safe and our businesses have a way to survive,” he said. More immediately, he will be making decisions on two key development proposals: the Davis Innovation and Sustainability Campus and the University Mall redevelopment. The council took public comment during a public hearing on DISC during Tuesday’s meeting and next week will decide whether to place DISC on the November ballot. The plans for redeveloping University Mall will likely go before the council later this month. Both need to be the best proposals they can be, Lee said, adding, “on both, I’m undecided.” The city, Lee said, “still has a ways to go on a variety of fronts, but I feel pretty optimistic about the future.” Come November, he said, “It’s time for another person to join the council. And that allows me to focus on other things.”

A bang out of chemistry BY SARA THOMPSON Special to the Enterprise

ost years, July 4 celebrations are accompanied by a fireworks display. Fireworks are created by igniting and burning different minerals. Most of these are the alkali metals and alkalineearth metals on the left side of the periodic table, but a few are from the transitional metals in the middle. We enjoy these using these materials in fireworks, but what else are these metals and salts used for in our lives? The red color in fireworks comes from salt mixtures that contain strontium. Atomic No. 38, with the symbol Sr, strontium was first discovered in 1790 in Scotland, and gets its name from the village Strontian, which is near the mine with was first collected. Strontium has several other applications other than making fireworks. One of the major applications of strontium was in the glass of cathode ray tubes in early color televisions. The strontium glass prevented X-ray emissions from escaping the television set. Other applications of strontium is making glow in the dark toys, sensitive teeth toothpaste, and some treatments for bone cancers and diseases. Orange fireworks come from calcium salt mixtures. Atomic No. 20 and symbol Ca, calcium is the fifth most-abundant element in our planet’s crust. Because of its abundance,

Fourth of July fireworks depend on the right chemical mix for their colors.

EXPLORIT SCIENCE CENTER calcium has countless other uses. It is often found in foods such as fish, dairy products, and a leavening agent in breads, but is also used to strengthen other synthetic materials such as rubber, resins, toothpaste, and soaps. Calcium is even found in our own bodies, helping to make up our bones and keeping them healthy and strong. Yellow fireworks are created with sodium salts. Atomic No. 11 and symbol Na, sodium is the sixth most-abundant element in our crust and is an essential element for all animals and plants. Common uses for sodium are in food additives and vitamins but can also be used as a deicing agent in cold places. Barium salts creates green fireworks. It is Atomic No 56, symbol Ba and most commonly combined with metals to make alloys. Because it has low

toxicity to the human body, but has a high density, barium is commonly used to aid with the imaging of the digestive tract. Copper creates the brilliant blue hues of fireworks. Atomic No. 29 and symbol Cu, there is evidence that copper has been used by humans as early as 8000 B.C. Abundant and naturally stable, copper has been used to make tools and jewelry in early civilizations, and modernly is being used in wires, cables, and electronics. Purple color in fireworks comes from a combination of copper and strontium. Silver and white fireworks are simply super-heated magnesium and aluminum metals.

‘Stuck in the middle with you ...’ at least for now BY JACCI O’CONNOR AND JAY WOODS Special to The Enterprise

emember the classic song by Stealers Wheel? It came to me as I was preparing to write our July column. It couldn’t be more appropriate for this moment in time, as we begin to understand that the pandemic is not coming to a close as we’d all hoped by now. Instead, we seem to be “stuck in the middle” for the foreseeable future. So, how can we seniors keep ourselves safe and entertained at home? If you’re running out of Netflix movies to watch, how about enjoying some of our generation’s classic tunes performed with the help of today’s video conferencing (think “Zoom”) technologies? By now you may have seen one or two of these fascinating and highly entertainingmusical performances on YouTube or featured in a television news segment. But did you know that there is a virtual world of magical and often nostalgic music videos to be enjoyed on your computer or tablet? And many of them are our old favorites by the original artists. We’ve put together a sampling of music videos we think you’ll enjoy. Admittedly our favorites are the ones by artists we first fell in love with many years ago!

You can search on YouTube for recent uploads from Paul Simon, Cat Stevens (Yusuf ), Elton John, Joan Baez, Neil Young and James Taylor.

‘Artemis Fowl’ a victim of quite foul editing Popular book series ill-served by this disaster

‘Artemis Fowl’ Starring: Ferdia Shaw, Lara McDonnell, Josh Gad, Judi Dench, Nonso Anozie, Tamara Smart, Joshua McGuire and Nikesh Patel Rating: PG, for fantasy action and some rude humor

BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic When fantasy goes bad, it goes really bad. I’m not surprised Disney abandoned theatrical release for this fiasco in favor of a debut on its Disney+ streaming service. But I’m frankly astonished that director Kenneth Branagh kept his name on it, because this misbegotten adventure clearly endured post-production tampering that left major chunks of key plot details on the cutting-room floor. What remains makes no sense whatsoever. You’ll spend half the film — if you’re foolish enough to waste time with it — muttering, “But what about…?” Matters also aren’t helped by the fact that the title character is an arrogant, thoroughly obnoxious little snot. He’s played by first-time actor Ferdia Shaw, and boy, the inexperience shows. His so-called performance is stiff as a board, and he’s constantly upstaged by everybody else in the cast … not a good thing for the designated star. (Seriously, Kenneth? This was the best you could get out of the boy?) I can’t imagine fans of Eoin Colfer’s popular young adult series liking anything about this film. Scripters Conor McPherson and Hamish McColl extracted bits and bobs from the first two books — 2001’s “Artemis Fowl” and 2002’s “Artemis Fowl and the Arctic Incident” — but largely fabricated their own original story, calling the result a disappointment is gross understatement. Perhaps the biggest sin is that Artemis, Colfer’s feisty “13-year-old criminal mastermind,” has been bowdlerized — in typical Disney fashion — into a “12-yearold devil-may-care genius.”

NICOLA DOVE, DISNEY ENTERPRISES INC./COURTESY PHOTO

Things are about to get much worse: Our heroes — from left, Domovoi (Nonso Anozie), Holly (Lara McDonnell), Mulch (Josh Gad) and Artemis (Ferdia Shaw) — react with horror as a massive troll prepares to — well — eat them. Ergo, this film’s Artemis doesn’t do any thieving; indeed, he’d accomplish very little were it not for the far more heroic efforts of his colleagues. He has been sanitized to the point of utter blandness. Sad, sad, sad. Branagh opens his film with a ludicrous media throng gathered outside Northern Ireland’s imposing Fowl Manor (actually Antrim’s Dunluce Castle) in the aftermath of some Cataclysmic Event. An imposing figure — we soon learn he’s Mulch Diggums (Josh Gad) — is spirited away to a remote interrogation facility, where he reveals what occurred via flashback. Enter Artemis, who prefers surfing to the humdrum routine of school work that doesn’t begin to tax his massive intellect. (Not that the surfing has anything to do with what follows, but it did keep the six members of this film’s “Surf Unit” occupied.) Artemis has grown up listening to fantastical stories spun by his father,

Artemis Sr. (Colin Farrell) concerning an ancient civilization that exists beneath the Earth’s surface: an amazingly advanced world of fairies, goblins, trolls, dwarves and other magical beings. Young Artemis doesn’t believe any of this, of course — until his father, a trader of rare antiques and collectibles, disappears in a mysterious helicopter accident in the South China Seas. Turns out Dad has been kidnapped by a raspyvoiced hooded figure dubbed Opal Koboi, who threatens to kill him unless Artemis brings her an all-powerful fairy whatzit — the Aculos — from among his father’s many cataloged artifacts. Trouble is, Artemis has no idea what the Aculos even is, let alone where his father may have hidden it. At this point, Artemis also realizes that his father hasn’t been spinning tall tales all these years, but relating his actual adventures among magical beings. With the help of his impressively resourceful

manservant, Domovoi Butler (Nonso Anozie), Artemis cooks up a scheme to trap a fairy known to have been occasionally sighted nearby. (Really? Since when?) They wind up with winged, green-garbed Holly Short (Lara McDonnell), an 84-year-old elven reconnaissance officer of the Lower Elements Police (LEPrecon). Artemis’ scheme: to hold Holly for ransom, in order to gain the attention of 802-year-old Commander Root (Judi Dench), the shrewd, cagey LEPrecon chief. She brings along the oversized dwarf Mulch, which Artemis counted on, knowing — from his father’s journals — that dwarves are drawn to hidden treasure. If the Aculos is somewhere in the immense manor, Mulch should be able to find it. Cue all manner of fantasy-laced action, much of it hidden from our mortal realm when Root’s centaur technical advisor, Foaly (Nikesh Patel), erects a “time freeze shield” over the manor. Issues to ponder:

■ At some earlier, unseen point, Opal Koboi kidnapped LEPrecon Lt. Briar Cudgeon (Joshua McGuire); she releases him with the promise that he’ll be her spy within Root’s forces. When next seen, now an insufferably power-hungry thorn in Root’s side, Cudgeon’s “sudden reappearance” seems a non-issue. She never missed him, while he was gone? And now that he’s back, behaving like a tinpot tyrant, she doesn’t clap him in irons? ■ Dwarves are tunnelers, channeling massive amounts of dirt from an oversized mouth and then out the back end, like a giant earthworm. Once Mulch finds the Aculos, he protects it by swallowing it. But when next seen, the Aculos suddenly is in somebody else’s possession. Say what? ■ Cudgeon, whose mutinous antics become ever more ridiculous, vanishes during the climax — as if McGuire, disgusted by his admittedly stupid role, simply stopped showing up on the set.

I could go on, but to what end? At an obviously too-brief 95 minutes, I suspect somebody snipped at least half an hour from this flick. I’d like to think McPherson and McColl’s script made more sense at some point, but who knows? (The notion that Unidentified Parties believed this truncated result is an improvement is beyond comprehension.) I’ll say this much, in the film’s defense: It looks terrific. Production designer Jim Clay and visual effects supervisor Charley Henley put a lot of work into Fowl Manor and the belowdepths Haven City. Gad has a lot of fun as Mulch, a reluctant ally with plenty of mischief in his gaze. McDonnell’s Holly Short is spunky and resourceful, and she credibly sells her character’s gradual allegiance to Artemis. Anozie, laden with spooky contact lenses, is a hoot as the thunderous Domovoi. Dench, as always, adds a welcome note of Shakespearean conviction as Root. Tamara Smart, alas, is wasted as Domovoi’s niece Juliet: a completely useless and superfluous role. If Disney had any thoughts of turning this into a franchise, they evaporated rapidly. “Artemis Fowl,” savaged by fans and critics alike, is suffering a rapid — and well-deserved — demise. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http://derrickbang. blogspot.com.

‘Spelling the Dream’ a display of true word power Thoughtfully done documentary dabbles in social commentary BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic “Spellbound” was one of the hits of 2002’s film season: an engaging documentary that profiled some of the young competitors vying for the championship in the annual Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee. Thanks to that film and other hits — such as 2005’s “March of the Penguins” and “Mad Hot Ballroom” — we’ve since enjoyed a welcome Renaissance in cinematic documentaries, which shows no sign of letting up. Case in point: “Spelling the Dream,” a new Netflix original that mimics the successful “Spellbound” playbook, while analyzing the rather striking trend that has

dominated the Scripps (no longer Howard) National Spelling Bee, during the past two decades. Before getting to that, director Sam Rega opens his film with the staggering result of last year’s 92nd annual contest, when — after 20 exhilarating rounds — the judges acknowledged an eight-way tie for first place after they ran out of words. Those eight kids beat the dictionary. Simply amazing. Even before last year, this annual contest had become must-see viewing on ESPN. The provocative detail is that an Indian-American competitor has won for the past 12 consecutive years: one of the longest streaks in sports history. The obvious question: Why? Rega and co-scripter Chris Weller decided to find out, by profiling a quartet of young IndianAmerican competitors, as they navigate local and regional elimination matches en route to the

‘Spelling the Dream’ Starring: a gaggle of enthusiastic young spellers Rating: G, and suitable for all ages 2017 finale in Washington, D.C. The answer, as we quickly discover, isn’t that complicated. These kids work for it. They’re no different than any young athlete who shoots hoops or dribbles a soccer ball for three hours every afternoon; the passion is simply cerebral, rather than physical. Our candidates also are encouraged by loving parents and — as often seems the case — cheerfully competitive siblings who are equally talented. Rega and Weller quickly emphasize that these aren’t “tiger parents,” drilling kids at the expense of

their own childhood; pursuing this dream is a truly collaborative family endeavor. But yes, these spelling savants do have one advantage: They’re multi-lingual, having grown up in households where English sometimes is an afterthought. That helps significantly when it comes to studying and understanding word roots. And, yes, those same households are headed by Indian immigrants who took advantage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, when President Lyndon B. Johnson welcomed the “best and brightest” into the United States. The new arrivals started families and raised their children with a similar work ethic, along with an infatuation with learning. Such analysis comes courtesy of talking heads such as CNN’s Fareed Zakaria and Dr. Sanjoy Gupta, ESPN’s Kevin Negandhi, sports doctor Balu Natarajan (who won the 1985 competition)

and comedian Hari Kondabolu. The latter also takes a shot at racist social media trolls who lament the absence of recent “American” winners. (“They are Americans!” Kondabolu ripostes, in his best Take that tone.) Such backstory, however thoughtful, isn’t nearly as important as the basic fact that children idolize heroes, and want to do what they do. Nothing was more inspirational than the fact that the 1999 winner, caught during her moment of glory in “Spellbound,” was Nupur Lala — who, yes, also gets some air time in this new film. Right then, impressionable Indian-American children — and their parents — knew that this could become their thing. And my, that’s an understatement.

SPELLING: Contest brings edge-of-the-seat suspense From Page B1 Akash, at 7 years old, the youngest and most vibrantly precocious, who delights in stunts such as spelling a 45-letter word — a lung disease — using one hand to sweep aside the letters that appear on the screen as he recites them. (That’s a neat little special effect since he couldn’t have seen the letters in the moment.) He’s a bubbly, unrestrained show-off who shamelessly mugs for the camera, and we love him for it. And he’s so small, during footage of his first Scripps appearance at age 6, that he has to stand on tippy-toe and bend the microphone down. Shourav, a veteran at 14, is quiet and confident; his friends regard him as “the Michael Jordan of spelling.” Shourav’s parents also helped him set up the ultimate study tool: an impressive computer database of the roughly 150,000 words that “matter” from the dictionary of record. (Many words can be skipped, Shourav’s father explains; if you know “sleep,” you don’t need to worry about “sleeping.”) Akash and Shourav hail from the Texas communities of (respectively) San Angelo and Spring. Ashrita, at 10, lives in North Andover, Mass. She exhibited spelling talent from a very young age and delights her friends by spelling Mary Poppins’ daffy magic word. There’s a cute exchange with her parents, who confess that

All the competition footage is presented cleverly, with each contestant’s word highlighted at the bottom of the screen in Scrabblelike tiles, which are illuminated with each correct spoken letter. they assumed — not knowing any better at the time — that all children are proficient spellers, so they “just kept feeding her words.” Tejas — also 14, and living in Glen Allen, Va. — is the intense one of this quartet. He’s calm and methodical, but seems tightly wound; he’s also a mite superstitious, and never competes without his “lucky purple stone” in one pocket. This is the final shot for Shourav and Tejas, who are about to “age out”; contestants must not have passed beyond the eighth grade on or before Feb. 1 of the given year. (And how sad for this year’s 14-year-olds, denied their last chance because the 93rd national finals were canceled due to coronavirus concerns.)

Shourav spends several hours each day studying the computer database of “challenging” words likely to surface during the annual Scripps National Spelling Bee. All the competition footage is presented cleverly, with each contestant’s word highlighted at the bottom of the screen in Scrabble-like tiles, which are illuminated with each correct spoken letter (and woe when one of those letters turns red). You’ll recognize a slightly younger Erin Howard when we reach the 2017 finale; she’s one of the eight who triumphed last year. It’s fascinating to watch, as some children first “write” the word invisibly on their palms,

and we wince each time the little desk bell chimes an incorrect spelling. As for the words themselves — good grief. Once we get beyond the initial rounds, I couldn’t even pronounce them, let alone spell them. This is the sort of stuff that escaped from “Mrs. Byrne’s Dictionary of Unusual, Obscure and Preposterous Words” (a thoroughly delightful book, just in passing). At the end of the day, though, these are still children. Little

hearts get crushed during the course of this film and it’s painful to witness. But that doesn’t interfere with the edge-of-the-seat suspense that Rega generates as we slide into the final rounds. “Spelling the Dream” is a wonderful affirmation of work ethic, cultural pride and youthful enthusiasm: absolutely must-see family viewing. And I’ve no doubt some of today’s young viewers will be similarly inspired.

UCD baseball player overcomes cancer, ready to play again ROBINSON KUNTZ/DAILY REPUBLIC PHOTO

BY PETER FOURNIER McNaughton Newspapers

AIRFIELD — Patience is something former Vanden High great and current UC Davis baseball player Alejandro “Jando” Lara has had to practice each of the last three years, on top of perfecting his craft at the plate and in the outfield. He still wants to step up to the plate in a Major League Baseball ballpark someday, even if his last three years have seen a lifetime’s worth of obstacles placed in the way. Lara has shined when he’s been able to perform at his best on the diamond. “When he’s been able to,” being the key words to his so far chaotic collegiate career at UCD. At a time when most teenagers can’t wait to get as far away from home as they can, Lara’s hopeful journey to the Big Show started close to home, and likely saved his life. The story starts in Fairfield... One of the most talented players to have ever attended Vanden, the 6-foot-3 Lara made an early verbal commitment during his sophomore year, at 15, to play for the Aggies. He graduated from Vanden in 2016. “I’ve always maintained since we got Jando, that in the past, we don’t get (guys of his character and talent level),” Aggies coach Matt Vaughn said. “He’s normally ... the type of guy we didn’t get because someone bigger would get him. They would snatch him up.” Lara earned an all-Big West honorable mention in 2019, his junior season. He touted a .312 average, .449 slugging percentage and 28 RBIs in 45 games while playing in the outfield. With Vanden, Lara batted .448 with 145 hits and 113 RBIs in four varsity seasons, according to Maxpreps.com, getting to the plate more than 90 times each year. Lara, who was still recovering from a torn ligament in his left wrist which ended his sophomore season just six games in, thought it was just a marginal performance, per his standards, but his life would drastically change just a few months later, forcing him to put baseball on the shelf — just for a bit. He visited an acupuncturist that October, following a suggestion from his mother, Yolanda Lara. During one of his appointments, his acupuncturist felt lumps on his neck and advised him to see his doctor to get them checked out. That led to a visit with the Aggies’ team doctor, followed up by a biopsy, that led to the cancer diagnosis. “It was a blow. I was thankful for an early detection,” Lara said. “It was a tough time for the family. Nobody expected it. And that will shock people, sometimes.” He credited his dad, Jose Lara, with being the rock of the family.

Virus tests for Aggies worked out

UC Davis baseball player and Vanden graduate Alejandro Lara trains at a park in Rancho Solano in June. “He was so strong during the whole thing. A lot going on, and he was just a lynch-pin in the family,” Jando Lara said. “He was what we needed . . . He kept the whole thing afloat.” The elder Lara wanted to be a strong presence as his son was battling cancer. “As a father, you got to show your kids things are going to go wrong and you’re always going to have adversity in your life,” Jose Lara said. “I was just trying to be positive for him and let him know everything is going to be good. Even if baseball didn’t work out that he’s a good person and God has a plan for him.” The turnaround from confirmed detection was quick. Yolanda Lara said cancer was confirmed on a Thursday and surgery was performed the following Monday. Jando Lara said the cancer spread to lymph nodes around the thyroid, but that the surgeon was able to remove all of it when going in to take out his thyroid.

ollowing the operation, he had to take radiation pills for three days, which forced him into isolation for a time. “You’re just tired,” Jando Lara said. “You feel a little weaker. It was just three days, so it wasn’t too daunting. I know people go through years and years of chemo sessions. That seems brutal.” What Lara has to do now is take one levothyroxine pill a day, followed by occasional blood tests to detect the level of the thyroid-stimulating hormone in his body. As of early June, his TSH level was still around 20, and the and the normal level is 0.4-4.0, according to the American Thyroid Association. “I didn’t know how much the thyroid actually did for you until I didn’t have one. It regulates a lot of hormones; it helps with metabolism,” Lara said. “Basically, everything that you want in your recovery system, as

an athlete, is missing.”

aughn recalled Lara was determined to be in the Opening Day starting lineup, and was impressed he maintained his fitness throughout his recovery, and maybe sometime pushing the envelope to get there. “He was always determined that he was going to play for us this year,” Vaughn said. “. . . I told him, ‘If you’re back and healthy, you’re out there.’ . . . It kind of was never a question to him.” Ten days before Opening Day, Lara took his first swing in a batting cage. Lara jumped into the 2020 season with the limited batting practice and started off hot, going 2-for-3 with an RBI in the opener against Utah. He followed that with a three-game hitless streak, before shaking off the short slump with hits in nine of his next 11 games. Vaughn says Lara was having a great season, even if the numbers don’t reflect superior output. The Aggies count on “quality at-bats” to determine offensive success. Vaughn pointed out that when Lara made contact with the ball, it was usually hard contact. “It was a lot of situations when he was hitting the ball hard, and not getting rewarded for it,” Vaughn said. Lara finished the season with backto-back multi-hit games in a series against Mt. St. Mary’s before the season ended because of COVID-19. He finished the 2020 season with a .283 average, 15 hits and nine RBIs through 15 games. Vaughn pointed out Lara hasn’t had a chance to play a season fully healthy as an Aggie. He has enough credits to graduate with a communications degree and officially walked in the fall. With Lara’s redshirt eligibility for another season and extended eligibility due to the pandemic, Vaughn would more than welcome him back. Although Lara has MLB aspirations, this year’s draft was limited to five rounds. The players association and owners recently worked out a return to play amid the COVID-19 shutdown. As for pro ball in Lara’s future? Vaughn weighed in: “I think he’ll get an opportunity,” Vaughn said. “If he’s healthy and playing, he’s going to show people who he is and what he’s capable of.” The new obstacle for Lara is when will baseball re-emerge? When will he get his next opportunity to show what he can do on the field? When his day in the MLB draft comes, though, there will be no questions about Lara’s persistence or determination, two intangibles that aren’t defined at the plate or in the outfield, but in real life.

As public-health officials from the White House to local colleges and school districts struggle to find common ground for the “re-opening of society,” a UC Davis student-athlete tested positive for COVID-19 this past week, according to school officials. Following NCAA guidelines and Yolo County allowances for public gatherings, UCD officials gave the green light to Aggie athletes for voluntary workouts on campus last month. During administration of the students’ preparticipation medical screening process, an asymptomatic student tested positive for the illness. The procedure is required for all athletes electing to resume voluntary workouts at campus facilities. The UCD Athletic Department, in a written statement, noted that “the student-athlete was not medically cleared, did not participate in any athletics activity and is currently self-isolating according to public-health protocols.” “We want to be as transparent as possible,” Director of Athletics Kevin Blue subsequently told The Enterprise, adding that all student-athletes were briefed the same day the Athletic Department received word of the positive test result. “This is evidence that the protocols we have in place worked effectively,” Blue went on, adding: “The follow-up testing that was part of the county-wide procedures related to the contact-tracing process were all negative.” The county’s Infection and Control Team, including Deputy Health Officer Maryanne Limbos, consulted with UC Davis and gave it guidance on how to mitigate and respond to the positive COVID-19 case. While federal law (HIPAA) prohibits the university from disclosing any additional information about the student, Blue confirmed this is the BLUE first Aggie athlete known to have UC Davis tested positive for coronavirus. athletic director “Our activities right now are very limited as is,” Blue told the newspaper. “We’re continuing to prepare for athletics activity in the fall. But if the public health situation dictates that changes need to be made, we’ll be prepared to make those changes.” The investigations have arisen from recent efforts to trace the contacts of individual cases confirmed by the county in the last several weeks — a total of 243 during the 14 days preceding this Wednesday. In a presentation to the Yolo County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday morning, public health director Brian Vaughn gave an update on the county’s 26 open probes into COVID-19 outbreaks. Both UCD and Woodland Christian School’s athletic department’s were among local sites listed under scrutiny. Now Woodland High has called off workouts, some of which began two weeks ago. On Friday morning, Yolo County began enforcing re-closure of bars and breweries, dine-in restaurants, indoor wineries and tasting rooms, movie theaters, bowling alleys, museums, zoos and card rooms (other than those on tribal lands). Yolo County made Gov. Gavin Newsom’s state monitoring list after it exceeded the disease transmission criteria. That list had swelled to 19 counties through Thursday. “To help slow the spread of COVID-19 and align with surrounding counties, Yolo County (preemptively closed) the same sectors that the state has required counties on the list to close, effective (today) at 12:01 a.m. for a minimum of three weeks,” a county press release announced. According to county figures, more than 4,180 Davis residents had been screened through June 28, with 55 testing positive. Davis’ 1.3-percent positivity rate is the lowest among cities in the county. To date, 13 individuals 24 or younger have tested positive in Davis. — Enterprise staff writer Anne Ternus-Bellamy, staff writer Owen Yancher and Sports Editor Bruce Gallaudet contributed to this report.

UC San Diego, CS Bakersfield join Big West Enterprise staff It’s official. Cal State Bakersfield and UC San Diego have become the newest members of the Big West Conference athletic family, bringing to 11 the number of affiliates in the association. Bakersfield will be immediately eligible in round-robin and single-site championship sports for Big West titles, awards and honors and continue its eligibility for NCAA automatic qualification in those sports, says BWC Commissioner Dan Butterly. UCSD began its NCAA mandated four-year reclassification period to Division I on Wednesday. Its programs will be included in all BWC round-robin sports schedules beginning this fall.

Butterly, in his first year as BWC commissioner, welcomed both schools to the conference that includes UC Davis, Long Beach State, UC Irvine, CSUN, UC Santa Barbara, UC Riverside, Cal State Fullerton, Cal Poly and Hawaii. “The admittance of CSU Bakersfield and UC San Diego brings tremendous excitement, enriches our geographic footprint and competitiveness, and adds new rivalries to the Big West Conference,” said Butterly. “We enthusiastically welcome the student-athletes, fans, coaches, faculty and administrators of both programs.” Bakersfield will participate in the following BWC championship

COMMENTARY

History of a crime BY ABRAHAM ENTIN Special to The Enterprise

n 1906, Upton Sinclair’s book “The Jungle” ignited a firestorm in the United States. A fictionalized account of the life of immigrant workers in the meatpacking industry in Chicago, it painted a sensationally accurate picture of conditions in the plants. Theodore Roosevelt “hit the White House roof ” and invited Sinclair to come to Washington. The first food and drug laws were immediately passed, and the Food and Drug Administration soon followed. The first commissioner of the FDA was Harvey Wiley, the chief chemist at the Department of Agriculture. Even before he took office, the food and drug manufacturers were trying to get rid of him. Their campaign failed to derail his appointment, but they continued their opposition, inventing scandals and undercutting him in every way possible. Ultimately, Wiley left the agency and went across the street to Good Housekeeping magazine. There he created the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, which became the trusted gold standard for testing food and drug products for American consumers. In 1929, Wiley wrote a memoir he called “The History of a Crime Against the Food Law: The Amazing Story of the National Food and Drugs Law Intended to Protect the Health of the People, Perverted to Protect Adulteration of Foods.” Theodore Roosevelt, who appointed Wiley, was a progressive and a conservationist. He championed a “Square Deal” for regular Americans and an end to the Gilded Age’s unfettered capitalism. The establishment of the regulatory system was one of the most important and lasting accomplishments of his presidency.

rom its very beginning it was being undermined. In 1982 George Stigler won the Nobel Prize in Economics, in large part for his work on “Regulatory Capture,” the phenomenon described by Wiley in his memoir, written more than 50 years before. Today, under this “leadership,” virtually every regulatory agency is now headed by an individual who opposes its mission and has spent a good portion of their career trying to undermine its work. And the conditions Sinclair described in “The Jungle” are being exposed again in the meatpacking plants as centers for the spread of COVID-19, and the health threats to the “essential” but low-paid workers trapped inside these horrific centers of contagion are once again sources of outrage for the American public. When we talk about “systemic problems,” whether about race, economics, the environment or anything else, this is what we are referring to. After more than 100 years of trying to “reform” predatory capitalism, it is clear that this is an impossible task. The problems have only become deeper and wider, and the need for systemic change more obvious. This is no time for halfmeasures, symbolic gestures, commissions or investigations. The time for action is now. — Abraham Entin is a lifelong activist for nonviolent social change, beginning in 1962 with the Civil Rights Movement.His memoir, “Living on the Fringe,” was published by Steiner in 2018.

No break for seeking critical solutions

he COVID-19 pandemic has definitely turned our summer traditions upside down. The sky above Community Park would normally be bursting with its annual fireworks on the Fourth of July — but not in 2020. During this hottest time of year, local public pools are mostly empty and many summer camps are cancelled. Some days just feel sobering as we adapt to daily life during a pandemic. But, there’s something that gives me hope through all the disruption — and it’s happening right in our backyard. UC Davis is determined to be part of the COVID-19 solution and help bring our communities back to normal. Our researchers are working with a profound sense of urgency to make breakthroughs in diagnostic testing, protective equipment and vaccines. Here’s one recent example. You may have heard about a public-private partnership between UC Davis and the biopharmaceutical company Verndari Inc. Together, they’re working on technology that could deliver a COVID-19 vaccine through an adhesive patch — no shot needed. Overall, UC Davis has been at the forefront of the COVID19 response since the pandemic

reached the United States. In February, UC Davis Health made national headlines after treating the country’s first apparent case of COVID-19 that was acquired by community spread. This case was also significant in prompting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to change its testing protocols. I’m happy to say the patient ultimately recovered and returned to her grateful family. This is a testament to the world-class quality of patient care at UC Davis Health. I’m also proud that our university established itself as a leader in expanding COVID-19 testing. In April, UC Davis Health was designated by the State of California as one of two rapid testing hubs. Nam Tran, associate professor of pathology and laboratory medicine, also represents UC Davis on Governor Newsom’s COVID-19 Testing Task Force. Meanwhile, researchers at our College of Engineering and

School of Medicine have joined forces. They’ve been working hard to develop technological innovations for producing ventilators, the 3-D printing of test swabs and personal protective equipment. But for all the progress and promise, there’s no denying we live in anxious times with pressing questions. How long will it take to develop a COVID-19 vaccine? How prepared are our health care systems in the face of virus surges? How reliable are COVID-19 tests?

n this end, UC Davis has been on a mission to keep our communities informed — both here in Yolo County and all around the world. In April, UC Davis Distinguished Professor Walter Leal organized the first in a series of virtual COVID-19 symposiums. These online events have been a huge hit, with viewers tuning in from as far away as Brazil, India, Germany and throughout North America. Thousands of participants have logged on to hear UC Davis experts lead discussions on some of the most pressing topics in COVID-19. Panelists have included pediatrician and State Sen. Richard Pan and Robert Gallo, the famed

biomedical researcher who helped discover that HIV causes AIDS. In June, UC Davis launched a “Deans Discuss” podcast to share the latest in COVID-19 research and highlight the collaborations happening across our campuses. This weekly podcast is hosted by Allison Brashear, dean of the School of Medicine, and Michael D. Lairmore, dean of the School of Veterinary Medicine. I hope you’ll subscribe. We also launched UC Davis LIVE: COVID-19 via Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. This weekly video series features a variety of UC Davis researchers and covers such topics as COVID-19 transmission, testing and more. This is all just a sample of how UC Davis is responding to the greatest public health challenge of our time. Every day brings a new prospect of discovery, and we’re eager to keep the public informed every step of the way. In the meantime, let’s continue to look out for another and do all we can to beat this virus. Stay cool this summer and I wish you all the best of health and a happy 4th of July. — Gary May is chancellor of UC Davis; his column is published monthly.

LETTERS You pick it up! I have to work like a dog every summer raking up pine needles from my yard — from the neighbors’ city trees. It was less taxing (but still taxing) when I was allowed to sweep/rake them into the street for pickup. I am an older person and do not have the energy, money or desire to rely on someone to do the job for me — and I should not have to. I might be responsible (legally) for my yard; however, I will no longer pickup or sweep those nasty needles from the street or sidewalks. These areas are not my property, and not my responsibility. Despite wearing a mask I breathed in a great deal of dust picking that up to put in two bins (both of which are now completely full) — and I am still not done. In this day and age of the coronavirus scare, this is something that is not safe for me (thus others) to do! This current city council is notorious for raising taxes, while taking away services. Since they made the lamebrained decision not to have any street pickup services for the entire summer — they can clean up the streets and sidewalks! And, until they have pickup twice a month, every month, I will no longer care about helping the city when they are supposed to be here to work for us! Karen Blomquist Davis

Representation on the school board In light of the past month of significantly increased white American awareness of social injustice caused by the white supremacist lens placed on our society, enabled through public policy, policing, and social norms, now is the time for the Davis School Board to meet the moment and select a person of color to join its ranks. The school board has an opportunity to add a person of color as a new trustee on July 2, when the board will vote on a replacement for Cindy Pickett, who identifies as a woman of color and has been an excellent representative of ethnic minority needs in our community. The community of Davis will have another chance in November 2020, when Bob Poppenga’s seat expires and his replacement is selected during the regular election. Approximately two percent of Davis students are African American. Having a voice on the board that represents the needs of this population is especially important as

those needs are often overlooked, gaslighted and white-washed, all structural tenets of white supremacism. No matter how anti-racist the current white male school board members are, they simply can’t understand what the African American students and parents need in order to have equity and opportunity to thrive in our schools. Another role for someone of color on the school board is to encourage the creation of better anti-racism education policies that teach our white students about the cost of racism and white supremacism in our society. Creating more anti-racism education for our white and non-black students will help our children understand the privileges they have experienced as white people and how they need to see race and play an individual role in creating an equitable society. This could be an exciting and important role for new school board members of color to play in our community. I encourage the school board to take the right step, the equitable step, the anti-racist step and select a person of color for the board on Thursday, July 2, and for Davis citizens to start thinking about how they can lodge an anti-racist vote for the school board this November.

expansion of health care fill one with hope, as well as righteous awareness of the hard work that these “for the people” campaigns take against great odds and powerful interests. “Unrigged” describes the fight against voting restrictions in Native American communities in the Southwest. This hit home especially to me, as I grew up in Navajo country in northern New Mexico. Our Native American brothers weren’t covered by the 15th amendment (we decided they weren’t citizens) in 1870 and did not fully get the right to vote until nearly a hundred years later (unfortunately, voting rights for our sisters of all races also came much, much later than 1870). Beginning with the Snyder Act in 1924, the right had to be won stateby-state. A federal judge forced Utah to grant voting rights to their Indian population, including the Navajo people, in 1957. New Mexico was the last state to allow Natives the right to vote, in 1962 when I was 7, blissfully unaware that the Navajo I lived among could not vote. “Unrigged” also discusses a voting rights campaign in North Dakota. You don’t have to be registered to vote there, but you do need a Voter ID. After Heidi Heitkamp was narrowly elected Senator in 2012, with significant Native American support, the legislature changed the Voter ID law to strictly enforce a street address requirement — which most Native Americans did not have. They had to struggle to create addresses and then get the newly required IDs to vote — some were turned away even though the poll workers had known them all their lives. There is much more inspiration in the book, so I encourage participation in the Community Read event on Zoom at 7 p.m. on July 15. Register at bit.ly/unrigged. Timothy Tutt Davis
