‘An emotional roller coaster’ White House backs down on student visas BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer On Tuesday afternoon, the United States Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Immigration Enforcement agreed to rescind a rule change announced last week that would have forced international students to leave the country if they were not taking in-person classes this fall. The
rule would also have barred students currently abroad from entering the U.S. if they could not prove at least some of their instruction would be delivered face-to-face.
submitted by student worker unions, cities, and several of the country’s largest tech companies detailed the dangers the rule posed to students and to the U.S. economy.
In a statement released last week, UC Davis leaders called the policy “cruel and thoughtless.”
There are roughly a million international students enrolled at U.S. colleges and universities, many of whom spoke out this week about research and relationships that could have been disrupted by the ICE policy. “Students come here and make plans to study, do work, pay rent, take care of children and live their life,” said Kavitha Iyengar, president of United Automobile Workers Local
Within days of the rule’s announcement, it was challenged by nine separate lawsuits that were joined by at least 180 universities and 20 states, including the University of California and California Attorney General Xavier Becerra. Dozens of “friend of the court” briefs
2865, the union representing UC student workers. On Tuesday, university leaders across the country celebrated the Trump administration’s decision to rescind the rule. “This sudden reversal by ICE is a win for common sense and for public health. Revoking the visas of international students in the midst of a pandemic would have put students’ futures, their communities’ health, and the U.S. economy in further jeopardy,” UC President Janet Napolitano said in a statement. The withdrawal of the rule

BY JEFF HUDSON Enterprise staff writer The candidate filing period for the November election’s school board race is now underway — and the switch to district elections for school board trustees means the November contest will be a bit different from school board races in past years. Two school board seats — held by trustees Bob Poppenga and Alan Fernandes

— will be on the November ballot. Poppenga and Fernandes were both elected in 2016 on an at-large basis (across the entire school district). But because of the school district’s recent transition from at-large elections to district elections, this year the seats currently held by Poppenga and Fernandes will be filled in November under the new

Nearly three months after the victim’s death, the Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office has publicly identified a Woodland teen killed in an April drive-by shooting near Winters as the search continues for his alleged killer. David Sanchez, 17, died two days after being struck by gunfire on the afternoon of April 24 while sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle traveling on County Road 89 north of Winters. Two other male juveniles in the car escaped unharmed, sheriff’s Lt. Matt Davis said Monday.

Issues with testing, contact tracing hamper virus fight BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer
One of them, the driver, initially transported Sanchez to Sutter Davis Hospital, where staff alerted the Davis Police Department that a male had arrived with a gunshot wound to the head, according to the agency’s online crime log. Sanchez was transported to an area trauma center, succumbing to his injuries on April 26. Sheriff ’s investigators said the suspect shot from a small, darkcolored sedan, images of which were captured on a security camera on the same day as the 1:30 p.m. shooting. Davis said the video
Testing and contact tracing — two key components in the battle to stop the spread of COVID-19 — continue to be sources of frustration both for health officials and members of the public. Complaints have been raised about long lines and wait times for testing as well as the lag time some are seeing before test results are received. Yolo County officials have said in some cases people are waiting a week or more for results. That, in turn, complicates the job of contact tracers who face a delay in investigating who may have been exposed and stopping outbreaks sooner rather than later. State officials have indicated the problem lies, in part, in the large increase in testing which has led to a large backlog of tests that need to be processed. “Our testing capacity has increased

Churches, gyms and hair salons in Yolo County were ordered closed effective immediately on Monday unless they can be modified to operate outside. The order came via Gov. Gavin Newsom and applies to all 29 counties on the state’s COVID-19 monitoring list, a list Yolo County joined last week due to rising coronavirus cases and diminished hospital and ICU capacity. Also ordered closed were personal care services (such as nail salons, cosmetology, tattoo and piercing), indoor malls and offices used for non-essential purposes. Additionally, all counties in the state were ordered to shut down bars and indoor services including restaurant dining, movie theaters and more. Hair salons and barbershops, places of worship and dine-in restaurants had all been given the green

There’s no easy way out of this one L ET THE PEOPLE DECIDE ... as soon as Cindy Pickett announced she was resigning her position as a valued trustee on the Davis School Board, her fellow board members should have immediately decided to fill the vacancy by putting it to a vote of the people in November when two other Board seats will be up for grabs ... Instead, the remaining four Board members decided their collective desire to pick a specific replacement by themselves were more important than the desires of the electorate at large and proceeded to appoint Pickett’s replacement instead of putting it to a vote of the people ... what they got was a new board member and significant backlash from the community at large ... Pickett, who was serving as Board president, was slated to serve until December of 2022, with nearly two-and-a-half years remaining on her four-year term ... given that the November election is four months away, the
Board could have appointed an interim to serve until the election, but opted not to do so ... The last time the Board had to fill a vacancy, in 2018, the term of the departing trustee had only several months remaining, meaning an appointment was the proper course of action ... that was not the case this time around ... The lesson here is, when in doubt, it’s always best to trust the wisdom of the voters ...

OST IN THE WOODS ... I’m not sure what makes the city of Davis or the developer of the proposed Bretton Woods project in far West Davis
think they can change the details of what the voters approved in a Measure R vote in November of 2018 ... It turns out we’re being told the developer wants to drop the “Davis-based buyers program,” whereby 90 percent of the residential units would be sold to buyers with a Davis connection of some sort ... and, shockingly, the city seems willing to let that provision go by the wayside in exchange for the developer’s promise that all residential units will now be 100-percent electric ... The developer gets what he wants and the city gets what it wants ... which is all fine and dandy but for the fact that the very premise of Measure R is that the voters, not the Davis City Council, are the ones who have to approve the project, right down to the width of the final bike path ... If the city and the developer can now agree to change the terms we all voted on, it renders Measure R meaningless ... some folks are saying that the 90-percent

hether technology can save us from the climate crisis is an open question. It seems relatively certain that improvements in technology will inevitably at least help reduce carbon emissions, or maybe even capture some of them from the atmosphere, but hoping for or anticipating a game-changer seems to require an enormous leap of faith. Still, one never knows. A couple technology improvements have been in the news lately, starting with the Grist report that several automakers are claiming to be on the verge of a “million-mile” battery. This includes not just Tesla, but also General Motors and a battery manufacturer in China. One of the lagging concerns people have about electric vehicles (EV’s) is that current warranties for batteries are in the range of 8 to 10 years or 100,00 miles as the time or distance a car can be driven before its battery degrades to 70 percent efficiency, thereby reducing the range for a car on a single charge, and bringing back “range anxiety” as a disincentive to buying an EV. Interestingly, according to the Grist article citing actual experience, Tesla’s batteries already lose only 20 percent of their capacity after 200,000 miles, and the Nissan Leaf can go for 22 years without significant battery degradation. In short, many of the batteries in EV’s currently on the road may outlast the cars they are put in. So who needs a millionmile battery that will outlast their car? Some, such as taxi drivers and persons with long daily commutes might find comfort in a longer lasting battery. The Grist article posits several incarnations for such a long-lived battery, suggesting that it might spend the first 100,000 miles of its life in someone’s personal vehicle, be transplanted to a fleet vehicle for an additional 400,000 miles, and finally go to work as grid storage or backup power for its last 500,00 miles of capacity. The article points to research showing that
there is already a growing industry (even a pilot project right here at UC Davis) focused on collecting and repurposing EV batteries. In Europe this industry is storing 300 megawatts from repurposed EV batteries, up from only 18 megawatts just 4 years ago, and adding stability and reliability to the electrical grid. Another advantage of a million-mile battery is that it means fewer replacement batteries will need to be manufactured. It’s not a trivial undertaking to make a battery; making fewer will save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. EVs require both lithium and cobalt, and there is not currently a very big supply of the latter. Cobalt is important because it has high energy density and is thermally stable, meaning it won’t overheat easily or catch fire. Some expect the world will run out of cobalt by 2030 while others are busy looking for more sources. Still others, including the EV community, are struggling to reduce cobalt use in vehicles and apparently having some success. The EV industry is looking to change from a lithium-ion technology to a lithium-iron technology; with the difference being lithium-iron batteries don’t need cobalt. And cobalt is expensive, both in terms of dollars, but also for the environment, and the conditions miners face in digging it out of the earth. Much as happened with the solar industry, with costs for panels plunging downwards to the point where solar now beats or meets the cost of electricity produced by existing coal plants, the costs for batteries is also on a steep decline. A portion of this is due to reducing the use of cobalt, a huge part of the cost of batteries, or, as appears imminent, switching over to lithium-iron
which uses no cobalt at all. The new cobalt free technology is said to lower cost, make it possible to get 400 miles or more on a single charge, and increase the life expectancy of EV batteries so that EV companies can up the current 8 to 10 year warranty to the magic number 100,000 miles guarantee that encouraged consumers to purchase gas powered cars. Sometimes, the pace of change is breathtaking. We, or at least I, easily forget that it wasn’t long ago, 2007, when the iPhone was introduced, or 1990 when the World Wide Web (the Internet) was opened to the public. I started this column by evincing my own skepticism that technology, though it might help mitigate the climate crisis, was not likely to produce a game-changer that would really alter the arc we are on towards a potentially disastrous future. Then I remember the changes that those two devices have brought to us, essentially reshaping our day-to-day lives, and the avalanche of other technology advances over an incredibly brief period, and a spark of hope lights a small flame of optimism. After all, if we humans can build a battery that could power a vehicle for a distance equivalent to going to the moon and back, twice, perhaps anything is possible and I shouldn’t be such an Eeyore about the future. — John Mott-Smith is a resident of Davis and driver of a Chevy Bolt.

requirement was not the reason Bretton Woods was approved at the ballot box, but that’s irrelevant ... there was a specific proposal on the ballot and the voters approved that specific proposal, nothing more and nothing less ... Changing the terms post approval by the voters is simply not allowed ... would it be OK if a developer after the fact said he didn’t wish to build five Olympic swimming pools after all, and the city said fine, but you have to put in more solar panels in exchange? ... I rest my case ...

FIGHT: State issues new guidance on coronavirus testing From Page A1 exponentially in recent months,” Dr. Mark Ghaly, secretary of California Health and Human Services, said Tuesday. “At the same time, new national supply chain challenges and large volumes of specimens sent to commercial laboratories have resulted in growing delays in processing times.” As a result, Ghaly announced on Tuesday new guidelines for testing aimed at prioritizing those deemed most at risk. Specifically, the state’s focus will be on testing hospitalized individuals with symptoms of COVID-19 and people being tested as part of the investigation and management of outbreaks. The testing guidance also prioritizes any individuals who have COVID-19 symptoms and individuals without symptoms who fall into high-risk categories, including people who live and work in nursing homes, homeless shelters and prisons, healthcare workers, and patients in hospitals. The state said the new guidance — which largely mirrors the testing guidance in place at the beginning of the pandemic — will ensure that Californians who most need tests get them, even if
there are limited supplies. “We must do this so that testing is readily available and affordable to those who need it, especially those communities experiencing the worst impacts of COVID-19 and those who are at the highest risk,” Ghaly said. Meanwhile, doctors and other healthcare providers will be asked to provide more testing in their offices. With more providers performing tests in the office rather than referring patients to labs or testing sites, the state would have more resources to focus on underserved and high-risk populations, Ghaly said. “Testing is a responsibility of our entire healthcare delivery system,” said Ghaly. “Clinics, doctors, and other care sites should provide convenient testing to their patients who need a test.” That said, testing will continue to be more widely available in Yolo County. Since May, the state has provided free testing via OptumServe due to the underserved populations that exist in Yolo County. However, that testing is available to anyone. OptumServe testing will continue in West Sacramento until
the end of July when it will move back to Woodland for four weeks. The city of Woodland is experiencing a surge in cases in the last month, now accounting for half of all cases in the county to date. Beginning July 28, the new OptumServe testing site will be at Woodland Community College with appointments available Tuesdays through Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. by calling 888634-1123 or completing an online application at https://lhi.care/ covidtesting. The testing is open to anyone in the community regardless of documentation status and all ages are now welcome. “We encourage community members to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain free testing locally,” said Yolo County Supervisor Gary Sandy of Woodland. “Safeguarding against COVID19 is everyone’s responsibility,” Sandy said. “Testing is particularly important if you’ve been in a large group setting or with friends and family who reside outside Yolo County.” But testing remains only one of the tools used in controlling a pandemic — contact tracing that tracks down those who may have been exposed to the virus before
they can expose others remains critical. Once contacted, they are urged to get tested and quarantine until they receive their results. If those results are positive, they are then asked to isolate at home. Ghaly said Tuesday that contact tracing with the level of transmission being seen right now across the state “is much, much more difficult” given the sheer numbers involved, but that it can still be an effective mode of suppressing transmission. To that end, Yolo County officials again on Tuesday called on residents to cooperate if they are called by contact tracers. “In the last two weeks, more and more people have not responded to our contact tracing calls or refused to cooperate in isolation or quarantine,” said county spokeswoman Jenny Tan. “It is so important that when you are contacted or called by a legitimate county staff person about contact tracing or being a confirmed case, that you do answer the questions and either isolate or quarantine,” she said Tuesday. “Contact tracing is such an important step in our work to be able to control and slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community.”
However, Tan noted, “this work is not done in a bubble and we need your help.” The difficulty the county’s contact tracers face right now is evident in a simple statistic: on Monday, 68 county residents were in isolation after testing positive for COVID-19. But that’s just a fraction of the more than 400 people who have tested positive in the last two weeks. Tan’s colleague, public information officer Carolyn Jhajj, said Monday there are several reasons why a small number of those who tested positive recently are isolating right now. The lag in receiving test results is one, she said, with some individuals being past the isolation period by the time their results are received. Another is the backlog county staff face in contacting recent cases. But there are also those individuals not cooperating or responding to contact tracers. “So please, answer the questions and isolate or quarantine if asked to,” said Tan. —Reach Anne Ternus-Bellamy at aternus@davisenterprise. net.

COUNTY: Statewide increase in COVID-19 cases reaches Yolo, too From Page A1 light to reopen at the end of May after two months of being shuttered under a shelter-in-place order. Fitness centers and gyms reopened along with bars and movie theaters in midJune, followed by nail salons, spas and tattoo parlors a week later. Now all will be closed indefinitely, though the governor noted that counties go on and off the state’s watch list, which could impact when these businesses reopen again in Yolo County. Dr. Mark Ghaly, the state’s secretary of health and human services, said on
Tuesday the decision to close those businesses and activities was based on data coming from county health officials. “We have continued to lean on the science, lean on the transmission patterns that our local public health partners are reporting to us and allowing us to guide these statewide decisions,” Ghaly said. “We know that generalized mixing outside of your household, movement where you are mixing with others, any of those events and activities creates an opportunity for transmission.” While Yolo County
officials have previously reported COVID-19 outbreaks at religious institutions and workplaces, the county has not identified specific business sectors that have been sources of transmission, other than skilled nursing facilities. The state’s move to close down those sectors comes amid surging cases of COVID-19 as well as increasing hospitalizations and deaths. That surge is occurring in Yolo County as well. On May 23, just before places of worship, hair salons and indoor restaurant dining were given the OK to
VICTIM: Suspect’s vehicle on camera From Page A1 shows “distinctive damage” to the bottom rear passenger door, as well as a front bumper color that differs from the rest of the vehicle. “The motive for the shooting does not appear to be a random act or a road rage incident,” Davis said in a news release. “Based on video footage, it is believed that the suspect(s) were lying in wait for the victim’s vehicle prior to the shooting. It is also believed that suspect(s) knew one or more of the victims.” Although coroner’s officials determined Sanchez’s identity shortly after the homicide, detectives didn’t release his name at the time “because doing so could jeopardize the investigation,” Davis said back in early May. He did not elaborate.
reopen, the county had reported 190 total COVID19 cases, 43 hospitalizations and 22 deaths. By Tuesday, those numbers were 999 cases, 90 hospitalizations and 29 deaths, including a new death reported Tuesday. The county has averaged nearly 40 new cases a day in the last week and reported
13 new hospitalizations during that time frame. As of Tuesday morning, 16 county residents suffering from COVID-19 were in the hospital — including 10 hospitalized within the county and six outside the county, according to county spokeswoman Jenny Tan. Seven COVID-19 patients were in
ICU beds, according to the state. Sixty-eight county residents were in isolation on Monday after testing positive for COVID-19 and 292 were under quarantine after coming into contact with someone who tested positive, according to county spokeswoman Carolyn Jhajj.

NOTICE OF PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY’S REQUEST TO CHANGE RATES FOR THE RECOVERY OF ENERGY PURCHASES AND THE CALIFORNIA CLIMATE CREDIT FOR 2021 (A.20-07-002) Acronyms you need to know PG&E: Pacific Gas and Electric Company CPUC: California Public Utilities Commission ERRA: Energy Resource Recovery Account SUMMARY On July 1, 2020, PG&E filed its 2021 ERRA Forecast application with the CPUC requesting approval to change rates for the following: •
Recovery of approximately $2.8 billion in costs related to the generation of electricity, including fuel and buying energy from third parties to serve bundled customer load
•
Setting certain charges for bundled and departing load customers for the recovery of the above-market portion of PG&E’s portfolio, which are included in the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA), Ongoing Competition Transition Charge (CTC) and Cost Allocation Mechanism (CAM)
•
Compliance with government mandates recovered through the Tree Mortality Non-bypassable Charge (TMNBC)
As part of this application, PG&E customers will also receive the California Climate Credit. The credit will be applied twice a year, in April 2021 and October 2021, for residential electric customers and once a year, in April 2021, for residential gas customers.

BACKGROUND The ERRA is used to record fuel and purchased power costs that can be recovered in customer rates. While this may result in a change in rates, PG&E recovers these costs with no markup for return or profit. The purpose of this application is to forecast costs of obtaining energy for customers and to approve the amount to be returned to customers from the sale of greenhouse gas emission allowances for the 2021 calendar year. If the CPUC approves this application, PG&E will begin to recover its costs in electric rates effective January 1, 2021. At the end of 2021, PG&E will compare actual costs to the amounts forecasted in this application and will incorporate any differences in next year’s application. HOW WILL THE APPLICATION AFFECT ELECTRIC RATES? Most customers receive bundled electric service from PG&E, meaning they receive electric generation, transmission and distribution services. This information includes the California Climate Credit for residential customers and greenhouse gas allowance returns for eligible nonresidential customers. Based on rates currently in effect, the bill for a typical residential customer using 500 kWh per month would increase from $127.45 to $128.42, or 0.8%. Actual impacts will vary depending on energy usage. Detailed rate information will be sent directly to customers in a bill insert. Direct Access and Community Choice Aggregation customers only receive electric transmission and distribution services from PG&E. PG&E does not purchase energy for these customers. However, as mentioned above, this application addresses recovery of certain costs incurred before their departure. These customers also receive the benefit of the California Climate Credit. In addition, eligible nonresidential DA and CCA customers receive the benefit of the greenhouse gas allowance returns. The impact of PG&E’s application on these customers is an average increase of 2.3%. Another category of nonbundled customers is Departing Load.

It’s time to create a little flavor in a bottle Lemon Rosemary N Syrup othing says summer like fancy drinks. Since we appear to be doing our drinking at home these days, and possibly to have a lot of time on our hands, it’s a good time to explore homemade flavored syrups. They’re the perfect way to sweeten iced tea or coffee, delicious mixed with fizzy water, and a delightful base for cocktails. Flavored syrups start with simple syrup. The basic formula for simple syrup is one part liquid to one part sweetener, stirred to dissolve and briefly boiled. The boiling helps to break down the sugar to form invert sugar, which will not separate and will keep longer in the fridge. There’s a wealth of information on the internet on formulation and additives to make your syrup last longer and be more stable. I tend towards making a small batch and using it up quickly. As to the component parts, almost any nondairy liquid will work in simple syrup. Homemade juice may separate in the syrup — not a problem in most situations, as it still tastes fine. Sugar of any kind, honey and maple syrup work well in simple syrups. Agave nectar and rice syrup will also work, but some people are very sensitive to the aftertaste from these two. Corn syrup is fine, but, really,
Ingredients: 1 cup coconut sugar 1 cup water 1 vanilla bean
why bother? To make more complex flavors in simple syrups consider adding herbs, spices and fruit to your base ingredients. As a general rule, freshly grated or bruised products will produce more flavor. Some good inclusions, alone or in combination: ■ citrus rind ■ vanilla bean ■ peppercorns ■ red pepper flakes ■ hot peppers ■ fresh herbs — sage, rosemary, mint, thyme ■ nutmeg ■ cardamom Cooled, strained and covered, most simple syrups will keep in the fridge for up to two weeks. — Visit https://thenew homeec.blogspot.com/ for more recipes. Send questions, comments or kindness to jacross@dcn.org or visit her on Facebook at The New Home Ec.
Vanilla Coconut Sugar Simple Syrup I like this one for iced tea or coffee. It’s also great for sweetening plain yogurt.
Putting it together: Mix sugar and water and stir to dissolve.Split vanilla bean lengthwise and add to syrup. Bring just to the boil, then remove from heat. Let cool before straining. Add vanilla bean to a bottle of vodka and refrigerate five days for vanilla vodka, two weeks for vanilla extract. Be sure to remove bean at the end of that time — it gets an unpleasant flavor as it ages.
Rich Mocha Syrup Cold brewed coffee has no trace of bitterness. If you brew a very concentrated brew, you can store it in the refrigerator to dilute with water for instant coffee worth drinking. Or use it to make this delicious syrup, which is good over ice cream, used to sweeten lesser coffee or mixed with milk for a yummy afternoon treat.
and cocoa. Add coffee and stir to dissolve. Bring just to the boil, then remove from heat. Let cool before straining.
Cold Brewed Coffee Concentrate
This is a superior cocktail sweetener. It’s also oddly good added to a very cold lager for a refreshing summer drink. Ingredients: zest of one lemon, grated 1 cup honey ¼ cup lemon juice ¾ cup water two sprigs of rosemary, bruised
Ingredients: 3 ounces very fresh medium grind coffee 1½ cups water Putting it together Mix coffee and water and let stand at room temperature, covered, 24 hours. Strain. Store refrigerated, dilute to taste with milk or water, hot or cold.
Putting it together: Measure honey into pan, then zest lemon directly into pan. Add juice and water and stir to dissolve. Add rosemary. Bring just to the boil, then remove from heat. Let cool before straining.
Pineapple Sage Syrup Because pineapple juice is so high in sugar, we’ll reduce the sugar a bit here. I love the habanero addition, but it’s not for everyone. Ingredients: 1 cup pineapple juice ¾ cup sugar 5-6 sage leaves, bruised (half a small habanero pepper, seeded)
Ingredients: 1 cup sugar ¼ cup cocoa powder 1 cup cold brewed coffee concentrate (see below)
Stay fresh as the heat rises with cool flavors you make yourself.
Putting it together: Mix sugar

Putting it together: Mix sugar and juice and stir to dissolve. Add sage and habanero if using. Bring just to the boil, then remove from heat. Let cool before straining.
Blackberry Thyme Sour Mix Sour mix is a classic. A summertime favorite at our house is a BlackberryThyme sour mix. This makes a delicious drink for kids (just add fizzy water.) As a mocktail for adults, mix as for the Tom Collins, omit the gin and add ½ tsp. golden balsamic vinegar. Sour mix only keeps for 2 days, but it freezes beautifully. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar ¾ cup water 10 ounces fresh or frozen blackberries 5-6 sprigs fresh thyme 1 cup mixed lemon and lime juice Putting it together: Mix sugar and water. Add berries and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally and mashing berries, until they are all popped. Strain and cool. Mix in citrus juice and chill.

Home, sweet Home — the birthday edition
T
wo Tauruses in our household. Bull-headed creatures, we’re not supposed to get along, but since 35 years together (the last several months very together) haven’t done us in, I guess we’re an exception. Two Tauruses means, obviously, two close-together (and recent) birthdays, and you know how birthdays have been in these plague days — very, very local. While my own day might, in a previous era, have rated a coastal overnight, hers was the birthday that friends have celebrated with three weeks in Tuscany or a leisurely cruise along the Alaskan coast. We thought three days in Italy — that is, Little Italy in San Diego — sounded more our speed. But that thought was so February. So, of course, we celebrated right here in our 1,100-square-foot dwelling where we’ve celebrated every single day since lockdown. Even in lockdown, though, presents appeared, some in the delightful form of 750 ml bottles. And since we so much enjoyed these chances to try splurgierthan-usual wines, I’d like to recommend two of them as birthday gift possibilities for your homebound friends — or just a splurge for yourself to compensate for the dinners out you’ve skipped of late. Both have the advantage of being available at The Pip Wine Bar in Dixon, which means proprietor Amy will deliver them to
you or your local giftee — as she did to us. Both also are, coincidentally, from France and imported by Selection Massale; I’ve really liked every SM wine that I’ve tried, and you’ll see why from their mission statement: “Our goal ... is to import the best natural wines, period. We do not work in every region or try to fulfill every need, but rather bring what we believe to be the most exciting, precise, wellmade natural wines available. “Our selections come from small wineries. Our vignerons work the land organically for the most part, biodynamically for some. All the wines are fermented naturally and made without cellar trickery or makeup. We favor clean, highly drinkable wines.We want our wines to be the first bottles emptied at the dinner table, but the longest remembered.” Wine No. 1 is a 100% chasselas from the Haute-Savoie, a very exciting growing area near Lac Léman (i.e. Lake Geneva). Dominique Lucas is a fifth generation
winemaker, who gave up the family estate in Burgundy because he didn’t want to work under the strict Burgundian rules. He’s passionate about his new terroir and about organic, biodynamic farming on his 25 acres. He’s also passionate about chasselas, a white wine grape that has been growing in neighboring Switzerland for over 500 years. The grapes in this “P’tit Coin de Paradis” come from a small parcel of 25-year-old vines close to Dominique’s house. They’re fermented in a combination of neutral barrels and concrete eggs — those eggs one reason that critics praise his “truly holistic and slightly offbeat approach to winemaking.” This lovely wine is pale gold, very dry, multi-layered, herby and filled with minerals, including salt. One critic, who loves it, thinks it’s a textbook wine for demonstrating “minerality.” Food-friendly and textured, it seems to change with every sip (maybe a “textbook wine” for demonstrating the virtues of “natural”), reminding me that occasionally spending an extra $10 on a bottle can be revelatory. We drank it with one of our favorite birthday dinners — scallops in a shallot-lemon sauce over linguine. But I can imagine it with seafood of any sort as well as myriad summer vegetable dishes — like roasted cherry tomatoes and charred red onion
with fregola. Here’s Amy’s take, which further illustrates the wine’s versatility: “My first sip I was blown away and mesmerized. It has the weight of what a Chardonnay could be — but with spice — like Swiss Christmas cookie spice something like a blend of nutmeg, allspice, mace ... but in the body of what could be a Chardonnay ... from the land of the French Alps — think raclette, meat, potatoes, Swiss pastries ...” Well, I don’t know about those pastries — unless they’re the savory sort. But interesting that Amy came up with a whole family of go-with foods that never occurred to me. The second birthday wine is a pét nat — that unruly, unpredictable sparkler that can be unbearably funky or, like this La Boutanche Le Sot De l’Ange, wonderfully alive, refreshing, and fascinating. A blend of chardonnay and sauv blanc, its grapes come from a biodynamic vineyard in an area of the Loire that has a winemaking history dating back to the Romans. And this méthod ancienne wine — in which fermentation is completed in the bottle — tastes both ancient and utterly contemporary. Relative to many pét nats, this one’s extremely fizzy, the bubbles like a festive fountain in the glass. It smells of blossoms and tastes of apple, pear, and lemon with a good dose of mineral.
Natural winemaker Quentin Burse worked in many important small French wineries before taking over a friend’s vineyard in the Touraine region. Le Sot de l’Ange translates “idiot angel,” perhaps referring to Quentin’s folly in taking on the risky business of natural wine in general and the even trickier pét nat in particular. My kind of idiot. When you’re unsure about pairing with a particular meal — especially in this hot season — you can’t really go wrong with a sparkler like this one. It was terrific with our Saturday night meal of King Salmon from Farmers Market but would work equally well with grilled pork, roasted eggplant, or tomato tart. And if you haven’t yet tried a pét nat, this would be an excellent introduction, birthdays or not. The moral of the story: the couple that drinks good wine together, even if astrologically incompatible, stays together. And together and together. Happy still-staying-home July! (By the way The Pip Wine Bar/ Shop has had to close the bar part again, but the shop’s still open if you’d like some live interaction with Amy, and if you’re weary of virtual tastings, check the website for socially distanced — but live — wine classes.) — Susana Leonardi is a Davis resident; reach her at vinosusana @gmail.com.

VISAS: ICE reverts to March decision From Page A1
Frantic preparations
means ICE will revert to emergency guidance issued in March, which allows foreign students to reside in the U.S. even if they aren’t taking in-person classes.
The ICE announcement also set off a campus-wide effort at UC Davis to comply with the new regulations. Without warning, ICE imposed a heavy — and by some accounts, impossible — administrative burden on universities, requiring them to update a form, called an I-20, for each international student by Aug. 4. While the rule was never formally published, there were reports that customs officers turned several students away upon their arrival at U.S. airports because the students could not prove they would be attending in-person classes this fall. At UC Davis, faculty and administrators were working around the clock to get plans and paperwork in place. Roughly 6,000 international students are enrolled for the coming year. ICE’s deadline would have meant UC Davis staff, a limited number of whom are authorized to do immigration paperwork, would have needed to complete nearly 300 forms per day. School officials at UC Davis said other responsibilities had been set aside so that staff could focus exclusively on filling out I-20s. The entire fall course schedule also needed to be updated so that each class is tagged as online or inperson. Students would then need to register for their classes so that designated school officials could certify on each I-20 that the student was in compliance with visa regulations. “It’s a massive undertaking,” vice provost and dean of UC Davis Global Affairs Joanna Regulska told The Enterprise on Friday. “The whole campus is involved — the Registrar’s
Lasting unease Over the past week, the proposed rule change caused extreme anxiety for foreign students in the U.S. “We have been constantly scared, nervous, worried about what’s going to happen,” said Sasha Pesci, a UC Davis Ph.D. student from Argentina. “It’s been an emotional roller coaster.” Pesci has studied in Davis for three years and expects to be here for at least another few years. She owns a car and has signed a housing lease for the coming year. More importantly, she said, she has built a community in Davis, which includes academic colleagues, mentors, and a romantic partner. “Being presented with the possibility of abruptly having to leave was very draining,” Pesci said. “It’s hard to recover from that type of weight and anxiety.” Pesci said she is partly relieved by the withdrawal of the rule change, but remains unnerved by the past week’s events. “The whole things made me feel very unstable,” she said. “It affected me in a way that made me scared for what could happen in the future.” She added that she felt a lot of support from UC Davis and the public at large. “It made me feel hopeful that if anything happens in the future we will receive support,” Pesci said.
Office, Student Affairs, the Dean’s Office, Undergraduate Education and Graduate Studies and our office.” The withdrawal of the rule means the new I-20s are no longer required. According to Regulska, a “tidal wave” of support for international students from UC Davis faculty meant the campus would be able to offer extensive in-person class options if ICE required them. Administrators and faculty were making plans to move many classes outdoors, possibly setting up canopies where instruction could take place. As of Tuesday evening, it was unclear how the withdrawal of the ICE rule would affect UC Davis’ plans for fall instruction. At minimum, it gives UC Davis the option of offering more classes exclusively online and allows students to avoid in-person classes should they choose to. In recent weeks, COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in Yolo County and across California have sharply increased. On Monday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered all counties in the state to shut down most indoor businesses and activities, putting the brakes on reopening efforts. “College and university leaders must be allowed to make decisions about campus operations that are guided by public health experts — not by a hastily drafted, arbitrary and mean-spirited policy,” Napolitano said. — Reach Caleb Hampton at champton@davisenterprise.net.

BOARD: It’s a whole new ballgame in November From Page A1 district election system. The candidate filing period for the two seats on the Davis school board in the November 2020 election opened on Monday, July 13, and was originally scheduled to close on Friday, Aug. 7. Because Poppenga has decided not to run again, the filing period for Trustee Area 5 was automatically extended to Wednesday, Aug. 12. And the filing period for Trustee Area 2 could conceivably be extended as well in the event that Fernandes decides not to run again. Fernandes (who has not yet publicly indicated whether he will seek another term) lives in Trustee Area 2, which basically encompasses neighborhoods north of Covell Blvd. and east of Highway 113 (and also the neighborhood east of Pole Line Road, south of Covell Blvd., and west of Monarch Lane, south to Loyola Drive), and certain unincorporated areas to the north. Candidates hoping to compete for the seat currently held by Fernandes need to live in Trustee Area 2. Poppenga (who has indicated he will not seek another term on the school board), lives in Trustee
Area 5, which includes Mace Ranch, other portions of South Davis to the west and south of Marguerite Montgomery Elementary school, and various unincorporated areas to the south of Davis city limits. Candidates hoping to compete for the seat currently held by Poppenga need to live in Trustee Area 5. Several years ago, the Davis school district changed over from the long-standing custom of at-large elections for school board trustees to district elections after the Davis school district was advised by legal counsel that continuing under an at-large election system would put the Davis district at significant risk of a lawsuit under the California Voting Rights Act of 2001 — legislation that has prompted many California cities and school boards to switch to district elections in recent years. Prospective school board trustees need to file candidacy paperwork with the Yolo County Elections Office in Woodland. — Reach Jeff Hudson at jhudson@davisenter prise.netor 530-747-8055.

Born in Pasadena, Ardienne attended Pasadena City College and UC Berkeley, completing her bachelor’s degree in 1952. She was a member of the Tri-Delta Sorority and talked often about the college days in which she very much enjoyed. Ardienne married her college sweetheart James Neiswonger in 1952 and together they had six children. They eventually settled in Davis and Homewood. Ardienne’s happiest childhood memories were spent in Laguna Beach at her Grandmother Nana’s home. As a child and with her Scotty dog she posed for a bronze statue done by Ruth Eaton Peabody that still stands at Jahraus Park in Laguna. She also often talked about Hilo, Hawaii, where she lived in the early 1940s for a few years with her brother and parents. As a barefoot youngster Ardienne and her brother Stephen enjoyed playing in everything that Hilo had to offer.
Aside from being an avid reader, Ardienne loved to sail and cycle completing the Centurion 100-mile bike ride in Davis. She loved classical music, opera, art and photography. Ardienne impressed upon her children to have open minds and exposed them to many cultures especially in the Arts world. Ardienne is survived by her children, son David and Liz Neiswonger (grandson Mitchell), daughter Jill Neiswonger (grandchildren Tara, Paul and four great-grandchildren), Rick Neiswonger (grandchildren Albert, Tiffany, Eric, Stephenie and two great-grandchildren), Steve and Debbie Neiswonger (grandson James Ross), Kristi and Tim Reimers (grandchildren Julie, Jenny and James and three great-grandchildren), and Wendy Neiswonger (grandchildren Jon, Carter, and daughter-in-law Cathrine).

June 2, 1942 — June 6, 2020
Art Amos — son, husband, father, and grandfather — passed away at home on June 6, 2020, in the company of his wife and elder son, from brain trauma after a fall. Born June 2, 1942 at Fort Huachuca, Ariz., he was the second child of Col. Arthur K. Amos and Hope G. Amos. A true Army brat, Art’s formative years took him around the world. His family was among the first Americans in occupied Japan; his middle-school years were in post-war occupied Austria; and he graduated from high school in Bangkok, Thailand. His undergraduate education in the U.S. included a semester at University of the Philippines while visiting his parents. He earned a Ph.D. in English from the University of Oregon, where he met and married Jacqueline Donnell, his wife of 54 years. A man of many interests, Art was an English professor, statistical analyst and systems administrator at UC Davis, and writing instructor and photographer at the UC Sacramento Center. He was a longtime contributing writer for The Davis Enterprise, first as a movie critic, then as weekly
reviewer of mystery novels in his column “The Locked Room.” A dedicated blood donor, he gave plasma twice a week and earned many “Give Blood” T-shirts for his hundreds of blood and plasma donations. He played tennis and squash into his 70s. He devoted many hours to rescuing friends from computer problems. An avid bridge player from his college years, for much of his retirement he played bridge and ran a bridge club through the Davis Senior Center and at URC. He was an ACBL Life Master. His parents and two siblings preceded him in death. He is survived by his wife Jacki, two sons, Kirk (Yvonne) and Jeremy (Karen), and granddaughters Kate and Bess. Private interment will be at St. Martin’s Episcopal Church in Davis. A public memorial will be held when COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. The family gives thanks for the doctors and nurses at Kaiser Vacaville and Vallejo who strove to heal him, Yolo Hospice nurses making it possible for him to die at home with family, and the invaluable support of many friends and neighbors.
Charlotte Hine Sobeck May 27, 1934 — July 8, 2020
Longtime Davis resident and active community member Charlotte Sobeck died at home on July 8, 2020. Charlotte Clarke Hine was born in New York to Mary Cordelia Clarkson Hine and Donald Franklin Hine. She grew up in Garden City, N.Y., and graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Smith College and a master’s degree from the University of Illinois. She and Warren Kenneth Musker were married during their graduate-school years. After completing their degrees, they moved to Davis in 1962. They became part of the UC Davis community when the city of Davis was going through rapid growth and expansion. Their two children, Karen and David, grew up in Davis. Charlotte was involved in a variety of volunteer organizations but was primarily interested in women’s issues. She held elected positions in the League of Women Voters and the Episcopal Diocese of Northern California. She was active in campaigns for equal rights for women and for opening the priesthood to women. Later, she became
an executive director and lobbyist for small nonprofits. After divorce, Charlotte married longtime Davis family physician, Frederick J. Sobeck in 1977. Being part of the lives of their combined seven children’s journey to become college graduates and begin their chosen careers was a high point for both Charlotte and Fred. Time at their mountain cabin, retirement activities and traveling were also important in their lives. Fred died in 2006, and four years later Charlotte moved to the University Retirement Community where she discovered both old Davis friends and fascinating new friends. Charlotte is survived by her two children, Karen Cordelia Johnston and David Jay (Susan) Musker; grandchildren Eric Musker, Logan (Crystal) Johnston, Steven (Kimberly) Musker, Keeler Johnston, and Leah Musker; brother Charles Clarkson (Susan) Hine; and cousin Arthur William (Zara) Renander. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there will not be a memorial service.

Free camping, hiking, cooler weather W
ildflowers are blooming in profusion, even crowding the hiking path just two hours away in the Eldorado National Forest where you can go and hike and camp for free. And you can do extreme social distancing. We saw only five people on a Thursday on our trail. It’s a good getaway from pandemic and other troubles and especially lovely when the temperature climbs in the valley. Last Thursday, my husband, Alan, and I packed up some gear and headed to the Carson’s Pass Area we had enjoyed some years ago. In two hours and twenty minutes we were at our free campsite, a short distance from our trailhead in the Eldorado Forest. We drove Highway 50, took the 29-mile Mormon Emigrant Trail and then Highway 88. Our turn was at a sign that read “State of California, Caltrans, Caples Lake, Maintenance Station.” It is a paved road for a quarter-mile then switches to a bumpy dirt road with gravel and even a tiny creek to ford. We chose a lovely campsite after 1.7 miles. Yellow blooming mule’s ear and a
small specs of brick red Indian paintbrush flowers covered the site. We walked to the unmarked Showers Lake, Little Round Top trailhead, a quarter-mile farther down the road. It is right next to the marked Strawberry Creek Trailhead which is actually the continuation of a road for Off Highway Vehicles. The path climbs gradually up 800 feet of elevation to 9,100 feet, a peak with great vistas that looks down into several lakes and the Pacific Crest Trail. The flowers were spectacular all of the way up and ever changing as we walked. Yellow mule’s ear was everywhere but first we had a whole hillside covered with scarlet gilia. There were many species of Indian paintbrush, Lewis flax, spreading phlox, mariposa lily, numerous species of purple lupine. At least two dozen varieties of flowers. Countless small, silvery blue butterflies were our
White-crowned sparrows provided the most music along the trail.

An entire hillside was covered with scarlet gilia along the trail in the Eldorado National Forest. constant companions on the way up. After we got to the summit, we headed north along the ridge. In a short distance, we had views of the big beautiful pond, Lake Tahoe. We walked in a lush green area and then the terrain would change into a granite area. We found larger patches of snow. Our camping site was completely undeveloped. There is no water, tables, or bathroom. You bring it all yourself plus a shovel to bury human waste. You must be willing to practice a “leave no trace” ethic. Pack it in, pack it out. We had many campsites, or areas that would accommodate a car and a tent, to choose from. You must get a campfire permit even for a camp stove. You can get that online for free, good all of
2020, after you watch a two-minute video and take a short quiz. We think that campfires were not allowed since this is a dry year. We saw white-headed woodpecker, American robin, Steller’s jay, western tanager and lots of whitecrowned sparrows. We heard the great horned owls in the night. Free, dispersed camping can be found throughout Northern California, in Shasta Trinity, Lassen, Mendocino and Modoc. Boat in dispersed camping is permitted at several reservoirs. You can google Twelve Free Campgrounds in California and how to find them. Ranger stations give good information. The areas can be found on Bureau of Land Management and United States Forest Service Land. Some years back, we did
much the same hike only we also descended to the Pacific Crest Trail. Along came a young man with a pretty light pack. I asked him where he had come from. He had walked from Mexico. “Have you gotten lost?” He showed me an app on this phone that told him how far to a shower, grocery, laundry and swimming. He had a solar charger on the top of his backpack for his cell phone. The Pacific Crest Trail goes from Mexico to Canada, 2,653miles. Be daring and try a new area. We were celebrating our 54th wedding anniversary — so you know we are as old as dirt — and Alan had a bike accident less than 10 weeks ago in which broke his hip and hand. But we did just fine. Slow and steady wins the race. Walking poles
help. We used the same down sleeping bags we purchased when we arrived in Davis 50 years ago: patched but still a delight. And the same, easy-to-put-up-in-fiveminutes tent we’ve used for years. Good camping gear pays for itself many times over. Then, closer to home, we have the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument, with more than 330,000 acres in the Inner Coast Range Mountains of Northern California celebrating its fifth birthday. There’s much to explore. Get out for some ecotherapy to stay healthy. — Jean Jackman is a Davis resident. Her column appears on the third Wednesday of each month. Got a story, question, correction?

Tell-tale sound is unnerving
E
very time I put my ear to the ground in an attempt to determine whether or not there will be a college football season this fall, all I hear is another domino falling. First it was the Big Ten that decided to go to a conference-only schedule, killing with one blow such juicy early-season matchups as Ohio State-Oregon. Then it was the Pac-12 that decided to play follow the leader by also going to a conference-only format (goodbye Alabama-USC). That decision also knocked out an incredibly intriguing season opener in Eugene between the mighty Ducks and perennial FCS national champion North Dakota State. You can say that what the big boys do with their schedules doesn’t affect programs one level down in the FCS, but when it comes to nonconference games, the trickle down effect is more like Multnomah Falls. Portland State, which competes in the same Big Sky Conference with UC Davis, lost two “money” games overnight with Oregon State ($400,000) and Arizona ($550,000). My friends in Oregon tell me that the nearly $1 million hit from those two games might be enough to sideline the Viking program for good. Our friends across The Causeway at Sacramento State were expected to bring home $625,000 along with a lopsided loss for playing the Washington Huskies, Cal Poly would have earned a similar amount and similar fate for playing Cal, Montana State was set for a $675,000 payday at Utah, and Idaho was waiting for the ink to dry on a $550,000 check from Washington State. Northern Arizona, meanwhile, would have headed home from Arizona State with a $518,186 check in its back pocket, almost enough to cover the $546,530 combined salaries of its coaching staff.
U
CD’s paydays for venturing into the Football Bowl Subdivision in 2020 are a bit more modest — $375,000 for the Aug. 29 season opener at Nevada and $400,000 for a Sept. 12 date at San Jose State. The difference between the Aggies and their Big Sky brethren mentioned above is that UCD’s games are still on the schedule because they’re against Mountain West teams, not the Pac-12. Then again, if you were a betting man, you could make some serious money by wagering that the Mountain West will soon announce that it is going the conference-only route as well. After all, MWC member Hawaii just had its first four games of the season wiped out against Arizona, UCLA, Fordham and Oregon. Perhaps the only way it can salvage its season is with a conference-only schedule. Brigham Young, which operates as one of this country’s few independents, has already lost five games off its 12-game 2020 schedule after cancellations from Utah, Michigan State, Arizona State, Minnesota and Stanford. Notre Dame, another independent, is down to nine games after defections from Wisconsin, USC and Stanford. Another independent, struggling New Mexico State, which has a winning season about as often as a Republican presidential candidate carries California, figures to lose $1.2 million after UCLA pulled out, and perhaps another $1.5 million from a game at Florida if the SEC goes the way of the Pac-12 and the Big Ten. When all sports were canceled last March, the college football season seemed in deep trouble. Then, however, the coronavirus

The match was the first professional sporting event in California in more than four months and was played in front of an empty stadium due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
A HINT OF THE FUTURE?
Pro sports return to state Empty stadiums are new normal for teams BY EVAN REAM Enterprise sports writer SACRAMENTO — After a nearly fourmonth hiatus, professional sports returned to California on Monday. And just like everything in life lately, it looked a whole lot different when Sacramento Republic FC played the Tacoma Defiance to a 3-3 draw at Papa Murphy’s Park in the first game of a modified USL Championship season. For the first time in Republic history, there were no fans on hand, only a collection of art posted in the north stands coupled with a handful of media members, allowed in only after passing symptom and temperature checks. Though the game began with participants kneeling and providing a moment of silence in recognition of the Black Lives Matter
movement, it would stay nearly silent throughout — only the occasional yell from a player was heard throughout a stadium with 11,569 seats empty. This is the reality of sports in 2020 ... Facing a depleted Tacoma side that had lost many of its players to the Seattle Sounders FC roster for the MLS is Back Tournament in Orlando, the Republic conceded the opening goal of the game in less than a minute. With only 18 days to prepare for the hastily arranged and truncated season — contact training began on June 25 — rust was to be expected as the last time Sacramento took the field was all the way back on March 7. “It’s been difficult, it’s not been easy,” said head coach Mark Briggs. “We weren’t coming out (Monday) expecting for it to be the perfection of a performance, everything to be top drawer. There’s a lot of things that are happening in the world — and happened in the stadium tonight — that are a little bit different for the players in their preparation. “It’s ... a little bit unusual, that’s not an excuse, we have to be better, but I think it’s
going to take (time) for people to adapt and people to adjust to the new normal,” the coach added. That new normal featured some of the old normal for Sacramento, though. Club legend Rodrigo Lopez made his first start since leaving after the 2015 season and rewarded the non-existant home fans by winning a penalty kick that Dariusz Formella converted, then assisting on Tomas Hilliard-Arce’s goal. Formella would score again to put the Republic up, 3-1, but legs tired from the heat and long layoff and the visitors hit the back of the net twice to take a point away from the game. “The challenges were just staying focused and creating a family team environment with everything going on,” Hilliard-Arce said after the game in a socially distanced press conference that took place over Zoom. “I think that we had actually done a fantastic job of preparing, whether it was the initial part of quarantine or once we got playing together as a team, it’s just really hard to put it into

Aggie on list for top honor Rittershofer is WOTY nominee Enterprise staff Former UC Davis soccer player Hailey Rittershofer is one of the Big West Conference’s eight nominees for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award, it was announced on Tuesday. The honor goes to a graduating female athlete who has distinguished herself in academics, athletics, service and leadership during her college days. “It is always a challenge to nominate just one outstanding student-athlete from a school that is fortunate to have so many extraordinary people exemplifying the best of both academics and athletics,” RITTERSHOFER reported senior associate athletics director Michael Lorenzen. “This year it was a clear choice.” Rittershofer was named team captain and earned Big West AllAcademic Team accolades three times. In addition to becoming UC Davis Athletics’ studentathlete liaison with UC Davis’ LGBTQIA+ Resource Center, the San Diego native founded Davis Athlete Ally during her junior year. As an undergraduate researcher, she helped design, develop and analyze an optogenetic system for cartilage tissue engineering.

Davis Sports Shop owner Aaron Patella goes over his inventory on Tuesday. The downtown store has been a go-to spot for sports gear since 1964. It will close at the end of July following poor sales due to the COVID closures.
Davis Sports Shop to close its doors BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor One of the oldest downtown businesses — Davis Sport Shop — will close its doors for good at the end of this month, a victim of the COVID-19 pandemic. “The big kicker at the end is the COVID thing,” business owner Aaron Patella told The Enterprise. “In May and June, we did about a week’s worth of normal-time business. When we got shut down in March, it wasn’t too bad because we knew we had invoices out there and were going to get paid. April was OK, but May and June were just terrible. “The problem now is just not knowing. We don’t know what’s happening with sports; we don’t know what’s happening in schools …” Davis Sport Shop, which has occupied four downtown locations since 1964, has made its last stand at 241 F St. The popular sporting-goods outlet was the go-to stop for most Davis youth leagues when buying team equipment and uniforms. Davis Sport Shop sold athletic gear ranging from UC Davis and Davis High apparel to running and cleated shoes to hats, bats and balls. Patella says schools aren’t ordering physical education garb, and with athletics generally on hold, the need for equipment has been almost nil. Patella, a former Blue Devil and Aggie
+student-athlete, says his store will try to keep regular hours through the end of the month and is fielding all calls on the store phone. But the customers are few and far between. Patella says there was no all-star season for Little League this summer and “probably no fall ball. … Then, in spring next year, if Little League comes back they’re not going to need any equipment, for sure. All the stuff they bought this year, they didn’t use.” Patella also is worried about dwindling participation when youth softball, soccer and baseball teams do return to regular play: “Let’s say Davis Little League had 1,000 kids (anticipating playing this year), I would say next spring — if it does come back — they might have 600 (given those) parents are unwilling to try … fearful of what’s going on. “The future doesn’t look good and the present is terrible.” Online sales continue to chip away at retail stores like Davis Sport Shop, there were few UC Davis student shoppers in the spring and there were no international students in the summer, Patella pointed out: “A perfect storm of things going on.” Patella’s father John (also a UCD graduate)

We’ve created a new climate of fear
Execute the J death penalty BY RODNEY J. BEEDE Special to the enterprise
R
WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 2020
ecently, the Golden State Killer entered guilty pleas to the most heinous crimes imaginable, the taking of his guilty pleas took almost an entire day in a large ballroom at Sacramento State University, designated a courtroom to accommodate victims, several district attorneys from numerous counties and COVID-19 concerns The resolution of this horrendous case with the prosecution withdrawing their request for the death penalty was explained to accommodate the age of witnesses, victims and the defendant who would have never seen his execution date. Then there was the explanation of money; tens of millions of precious public dollars would have been wasted. Whatever the reason, it must lead to an inevitable and long overdue result; the end of the death penalty, the transfer of any condemned inmate from death row to a life without parole, and the cessation of any death penalty prosecution state wide. Death row houses 670 inmates. Each has at least one and often several attorneys all paid by the state at a rate in excess of $100 per hour as for years thousands of pages of transcripts, and trial discovery are reviewed. Every aspect of the life of the condemned is examined. Numerous professionals are employed to seek mercy. Every action of the trial attorney is microscopically examined looking for any mistake that might reverse not only the death sentence but the guilt verdict. The inmates’ loving and stricken family (yes they have them) wear the shame and fear of the death sentence. Studies have shown that children of the condemned are forever traumatized by their parent’s fate. Victims’ families get no closure as years and often decades go by with no opportunity to see the execution occur. There have been no executions in California in decades and even without Gov. Newsom staying executions during his term, there probably would not have been one anytime soon. Execution will not stop their suffering. Despite proponents and victims’ rights groups insisting otherwise, studies have shown that an execution does not stop and often exasperates their suffering, especially if they witness the execution. Whatever closure is possible occurs if the inmate serves a life without parole sentence. Prison guards on death row also suffer. They often develop a close personal relationship with the condemned and are traumatized when they are executed. They are constantly guarding the most dangerous inmates. Mental illness among these guards is a serious problem, some have even committed suicide. The stay of executions by the governor does not halt endless appeals. Nor does it prevent any prosecution seeking death from proceeding. The costs of a death-penalty trial are astronomical. Abolishing the death penalty saves years of time and millions of dollars. If the cost of pursuing the death penalty against a single monster — because of the number of cases in numerous counties that had to be prosecuted at the same time — became unbearable; if the time and emotions victims must face over years of litigation and even those of the killer were reasons to withdraw the request for death; why are they not as important in a single case in a single county and in countless other counties where death in sought? I call on the Legislature to complete the process started courageously by the governor and abolish the death penalty. With supermajorities in both houses, Democrats need to be less concerned with keeping that majority and more with doing the right thing. So let’s end the death penalty and return millions of dollars to state and local governments to fix our infrastructure, fund our schools, help save our planet and accomplish so much more. Let’s prosecute and defend these cases on the single issue of guilt or innocence. Over centuries, many have passionately worked for its abolition. Prosecutors have now given up any pretense of reason to continue the insanity of pursuing the death penalty. The time to end this barbaric process is now. The last execution needs to be of the death penalty itself. — Rodney J. Beede is a lifelong resident of Davis and a member of the Yolo County Indigent Defense Panel.
oseph Welch, the chief attorney for the U.S. Army in the infamous Army-McCarthy hearings, will forever be remembered for interrupting Senator Joe McCarthy, who was fulminating against a young lawyer who had worked with Mr. Welch: “Senator, you've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?” That was 1954. On the 20th anniversary, when I was 10, news programs were reliving that history. I recall asking my mom what “McCarthyism” was. She said Sen. McCarthy scurrilously claimed the government and other American institutions had been infiltrated by disloyal communists. She told me that the investigations ruined the reputations of many innocent Americans whose only crime was to have an unpopular political point of view. At its heart, my mother said, McCarthyism was about creating a climate of fear and denying freedom of speech, freedom of consciousness, freedom of association and freedom of thought. Sadly, there is a long history in the U.S. of bringing harm to people who hold unpopular views or who have associated with people that the mob wants to silence. In today’s climate, we need to keep that history in mind. In some cases, the excuse for this vigilantism is to protect the “brand” of the employer of the person with the “sinister” political views. In others, it is to shut up a person’s conscience and discourage anyone else from defending opinions the mob feels are unacceptable. A handful of stories of this kind of censorship are well known. Films have been made, for example, about the
repression of the Hollywood Ten, who were blacklisted following a 1947 hearing of the House Un-American Activities Committee. Likewise, the case of Irving Adler — a New York math teacher who was fired for invoking his Fifth Amendment rights and later admitted o being a communist — is well remembered. There are many other tragedies that are long forgotten.
O
ne was the story of Tanner Parga, a longtime baseball announcer. He was originally hired by the Sacramento Senators in 1928, calling their games on radio through the 1935 season, when they were affiliated with the Brooklyn Dodgers. In 1936, the franchise changed names, becoming the Sacramento Solons, a St. Louis Cardinals affiliate. Mr. Parga remained the team’s radio announcer until he was terminated in the middle of the 1947 season. The team never explained the firing of Tanner Parga, who was also removed from his other job as a radio commentator. Prior to his dismissals, Parga was not without controversy. He’d had conflicts with a few past players in Sacramento. Some wanted him fired for that. During the “second red scare” in 1947, Parga said on the radio, “Just because someone was a socialist or disliked capitalism didn’t mean he couldn’t be a good American.”
A few days later, the exballplayers who had conflicts with Parga, publicly called for his head. By the end of that week, Tanner Parga had been fired by the Solons and by KFBK-FM. He never worked again. Another interesting, but largely forgotten case of punishing individuals for holding politically incorrect views came in 1957, the year Sen. McCarthy died of alcoholism. Don Kingelor, a professor of accounting at the University of Mississippi, came under attack because it was believed he did not sufficiently mourn the death of a white highway patrolman, Johnnie Rank, who was allegedly killed by a Black petty criminal. Kingelor had also been attacked for writing, “People should not be evaluated based on the color of their skin.” When Professor Kingelor refused to cancel a final exam the day segregationist Ole Miss students were grieving the loss of Officer Rank, they signed a petition calling for Kingelor’s firing. Those who missed the test stated they deserved “no harm” from their accounting teacher. Prof. Kingelor replied, “Can you guide me on how you think I should achieve a ‘no-harm’ outcome since our sole course grade is from a final exam only? — Thanks, D. Kingelor.” In 1951, shortly after the Battle of Bloody Ridge — in which the United States suffered 3,000 casualties fighting North Korean and Chinese soldiers — the Philadelphia Inquirer fired its senior editor, Winston Shicksaw, who had been with the paper for over 20 years and was highly esteemed for his work, for having written a headline that pro-military activists and some Inquirer reporters deemed insensitive.
The headline regarded a proposed real estate development called Broadway Ridge. Mr. Shicksaw titled the story about conflict between those for and against the project, “The Battle of Broadway Ridge.” Two days later, Shicksaw lost his job. That same week, a New York Times editor was fired for having run an editorial written by a U.S. Senator that pro-military activists deemed “dangerous.” Of course, in hindsight, it’s easy to see how very wrong these episodes were, especially when mob action harmed people for whom you may feel sympathy or you think were unjustly treated.
S
adly, we still live in those times. Yes, the story of Tanner Parga is fiction, a representation of sports announcer Grant Napear, who was fired for expressing his belief that “all lives matter.” Don Kingelor is made up. However, it is not fiction to report that UCLA student activists are calling for the head of Prof. Gordon Klein for not canceling his final exam as they mourned the death of George Floyd. Newspaper editor Stan Wischnowski (anagram for the fictive Winston Shicksaw) of the Inquirer was fired for a headline, “Buildings matter, too;” and James Bennet of the Times was forced to resign for running a column written by Sen. Tom Cotton. The list of those who today’s mob wants to deny freedom of speech, freedom of consciousness, freedom of association and freedom of thought continues to grow. Have we left no sense of decency? — Rich Rifkin is a Davis resident; his column is published every other week. Reach him at Lxartist@ yahoo.com.
LETTERS Lack of leadership Donald Trump doesn’t know the meaning of unifying a nation. Unlike presidents in the past who used their 4th of July speeches to articulate a sense of unity and commitment to core values that all Americans can share, Trump sows the seeds of discontent and civil unrest. Rather than addressing the present COVID-19 pandemic, the civil unrest arising over racial injustice, a faltering economy, he advocates for a red-herring “law and order.” The failure to address the current crises promotes conditions that make the restoration of any sense of law and order increasingly difficult. Making the wearing of masks, a demonstrated beneficial public health measure, a political issue creates a situation where enforcement of wearing masks leads to resistance and disorder. Failure to acknowledge blatant police violence causes more civil unrest. The absence of any national leadership in establishing the production and distribution of necessary medical supplies or providing national guidelines creates fear and panic within the health and economic systems fostering further chaos and possible fraud. Trump’s speech also makes abundantly clear what he means by MAGA: a desire to return to a period when white nativism was at its height in the U.S.after slavery — the 1870s to the 1960s. During this time, the U.S. engaged in its most exclusionary and racially based immigration policies. Domestically, the federal government in conjunction with state and local governments took violent actions in

trying to exclude various groups from obtaining equal legal and civil rights. Regarding the maintenance and perpetuation of white supremacy, the Democratic Party was at the forefront in this era. But since the 1970s, the Republican Party has taken on the mantle. Its enacted policies when it was the ruling party that clearly had negative racial impacts. While I believe the national polls indicating that the prejudicial intent to discriminate has diminished over the last 50 years, I find it increasingly difficult to believe that many Republican Party leaders and supporters are not still overtly prejudiced by failing to challenge openly the racially discriminatory rules, practices, and rhetoric of this president.

Split ceremony wedding gifts Dear Annie: What’s the correct etiquette for giving gifts for “reverse order” weddings? I have seen several times where a couple will first have a small civil ceremony to get married without the immediate expense of a formal wedding. Then, about a year later, they will have a formal wedding and reception, with the wedding shower being held before that date. This actually has had to be done by many couples where weddings had to be postponed because of the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 shutdowns. Most likely you’ll not be invited to the civil ceremony but are invited to the shower and wedding. What is the etiquette for gift-giving for these three occasions? Should you give the couple a now and later wedding gift as well as a shower gift? The civil ceremony will be the couple’s official wedding date. — Friend of the Bride and Groom Dear Friend of the Bride and Groom: One gift is A-OK. No reasonable couple that has a “split ceremony” (as I’ve heard them called) expects double presents. Mail your gift and
card to their home. You can send it around the civil ceremony or wait to send it around the larger wedding reception: Either is appropriate. ——— Dear Annie: My boyfriend and I were long distance for about a year. We met online and only spent a handful of days together in person during our relationship. Eventually, it became too much for him, and he broke up with me last year because of the distance. I still have intense feelings for him. And I’m flying to his town later this year to tell him that I still love him, but I am afraid that he will reject me. Even though we never spent much time together in person, we had talked about our relationship being serious and committed. But by the end of our relationship, he just didn’t show any interest in me. He wouldn’t text me or return my texts. I know that he still loves me, but I’m wondering if he might be embarrassed to see me if I
show up in his town unannounced. Please tell me what to do. — Longing for My Long-Distance Lover Dear Longing: To paraphrase Maya Angelou, when someone shows you how they feel about you, believe them the first time. Spare yourself the airfare and additional heartache: He’s not interested — or at least, not interested enough to make this work, and that’s what counts. The truth hurts, but it shall set you free. Once you accept that this is over, you can begin to move on and work on loving yourself. You deserve to be with someone who wants to be with you. And with healthier self-esteem, you’ll come to realize that. ——— Dear Annie: I read the letter where a man got some interviews but not the job. I’ve trained thousands of employees around the world. I’ve seen a lot of interviews. Here are a few tips. Leave your cellphone in the car. Wear nothing that’s gaudy or shiny, which could distract the interviewer
from your eyes. Sit up straight and look the interviewer in the eyes. Don’t look down or sideways. It makes you look like you’re lying. Be relaxed and smile. Never be without a $100 bill in your pocket: Money in our pocket gives us confidence. This is especially important for people in sales, as salespeople tend to sell to their own pocket. If they don’t have money, then they think their customer doesn’t either. Those people lose a lot of sales. — Larry Dear Larry: Thanks for writing in with your professional expertise on interviewing like a pro. That last tip is new to me. I’d be curious to hear if anyone has tried this out and experienced a confidence boost. ——— Dear Annie: I’m recently divorced and seeing someone. We talk openly about our divorces and exspouses. There are no hard feelings either way. She has children, and I don’t. We are in our 50s. I had a prior marriage at a very young age. I was in the service and lonely. It was a long-distance relationship, and we were married within two years. We didn’t even know each other. I was miserable, and the marriage ended. I don’t
like talking about it and am embarrassed by it, which is why I haven’t mentioned it to “Jane.” I haven’t lied, because the issue hasn’t come up. Am I digging a hole by not telling her? Would you be offended if this was not disclosed? — Wondering in Michigan Dear Wondering in Michigan: If your prior marriage is on your mind and you feel you should tell your new love interest, then tell her. It might feel embarrassing at first, but part of being in an intimate relationship is being willing to feel vulnerable. You are putting yourself out there with all of your history, and I’m sure she has her own history. Once you both accept each other, real trust and bonding will take over. If she judges you and has an issue with your two-year marriage, then it is better to find that out sooner rather than later. No sense wasting time with someone who will not accept the whole you, warts and all. ——— Dear Annie: With COVID-19, many people have had elective surgery postponed. Insurance companies are shortening the length of stays they will cover afterward, and I am hearing of people being dis-
charged from the hospital the day after surgery, for what would normally have been a four- or five-day stay. I am waiting to have surgery. More than the hospitalization, my concern is about home care afterward. I live alone, and my daughter plans to stay with me. However, she works where there are a lot of people in and out, and I know that she is going out with friends and not wearing a mask now that businesses are reopening. The number of COVID cases is on the rise in my state. Should I plan to have visiting nurses instead? — Trying to Be a Patient Patient Dear Patient Patient: You are not wrong to ask that of her. It is irresponsible of her to not wear a mask and socialize with a group of people. Your immune system won’t be at its best while it is fighting to heal. While her intentions are sweet, the biggest way she can care for you is by protecting you from COVID. If her job does not allow for that, I recommend hiring professional nurses to care for you while your body gets strong. If your daughter is offended by that, have a serious talk with her about the protocols she would need to follow to care for you.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Signed: Attorney for the petitioner Marissa Sirota Marissa Sirota Law PLC

B6 THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE
WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 2020
SHOP: Open until end of the month From Page B1 managed the first Davis Sport Shop storefront on Second Street for the late restaurateur George Belenis. Belenis sold the business to former Davis High coaching icon Royal Morrison in the late 1960s. Eventually, the elder Patella bought Davis Sport Shop in 1978 as Morrison, who was ill, retired and moved away from town. The senior Patella fashioned an “I can’t get you anything you don’t see” kind of store, hiring local Aggie athletes (including current UCD football coach Dan Hawkins) to help staff the business. For decades, Davis Sport Shop has been the place to go if visitors wanted to know Aggie and Blue Devil history, get information on tickets or receive directions to town or campus destinations.
For these next two weeks, Davis Sports Shop will be a bittersweet destination itself as faithful customers and athletes of all shapes, sizes and ages will descend on 241 F St. to say goodbye. Notes: Aaron and his wife Sue have three daughters, Blue Devil volleyball players Lauren and Kate and middle-schooler Sarah. ... Patella says he’s landing on his feet, although his next gig won’t have anything to do with athletics. He says he’s not quite ready to announce his new job. ... Patella promises good deals on great merchandise over these last weeks. He can be reached at 530-753-2572. Davis Sport Shop opens at 10 a.m. Monday through Saturday. — Reach sports editor Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet41@gmail.com or call 530-320-4456. Follow Gallaudet on Twitter: @BGsportsinDavis.

RETURN: Republic FC is in 2nd place From Page B1 words what we’ve done and then to show this on our first performance was a lot of a let down.” Those challenges are league and countrywide as well. While most sports leagues, such as the NWSL, the NBA and MLS have elected to host every team at a set location in a tournament format, the 35-team USL Championship decided to place clubs in groups of four or five based on geography. Though each team will host games in its groups, the allowance of fans is up to local governing guidelines. The point earned on Monday night put Sacramento in second place in Group A, one point behind leader Reno 1868 FC,
whom the Republic host Sunday at 6 p.m. The Defiance and Portland Timbers FC 2 round out the group, with the top two teams making the playoffs after 16 total matches (including those played before the pandemic taken into account). For the match, Republic players eschewed wearing traditional surnames on the back of their jerseys, with each shirt reading “Black Lives Matter.” “It’s something that we wanted to do as a club, it was something that was spoken about and something that everybody believes in,” Briggs said of the nod to the BLM movement. “It was a pretty impactful moment, a pretty powerful moment, which I think speaks volumes.” — Reach staff writer Evan Ream at eream@ davisenterprise.net.

BLINDS SHUTTERS SHADES •
numbers started an encouraging downward trend and schools began to talk seriously about playing in the fall after all — perhaps even with fans in the stands. But somewhere along the way in the last three or four weeks, people all over the country threw caution to the wind and the virus came roaring back at levels unseen in April and May. So here we are in the middle of July with the first regular-season games scheduled for Aug. 29. UC Davis is supposed to start formal fall practice this Friday. No one knows for sure what will happen, but the wheels are coming off this wagon awfully fast and no one seems to know how to put them back on. If I were in charge, I’d tell the Big Sky Conference to adopt the conference-only format for this season, move the start date back to the
first Saturday in October and finish up a 10-game schedule by early December. As for the FCS playoff format, you may have to limit it to perhaps as few as four or eight teams instead of the usual 24, with a radically different selection process. Or maybe this is the year we don’t have a national championship playoff at all. As my friend Bill Speltz, the highly respected sports editor and columnist at The Missoulian writes, July has become the “Month of Maybe.” Will there be a college football season this fall? I’m afraid “maybe” is the best we can come up with at this point. (Note to Night Editor: if the season has been canceled before this column is posted, please pull it and run just my mug shot with tears streaming down my face.) — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenter prise.net.
