Davis High orchestra musicians have performed in Europe in recent years. The coronavirus situation has put that kind of trip on hold for the time being.

Student orchestra musicians looking forward to playing again BY JEFF HUDSON Enterprise staff writer The young musicians in the Davis High orchestra program have been doing their best to keep up their musical chops during the summer break and are looking forward to the beginning of the new school year in late August — though the coronavirus will mean some changes in the usual rehearsal routine. “Procrastination (in terms of practice time) certainly still exists, no matter what time of year it is,” said Grover Locke, a

cellist who will be a 12thgrader at the high school this year. “If you have a private tutor, it gets easier to practice every week.” Kai Keltner, who plays the viola and will be an incoming 11th-grader, said, “I keep up my musical skills by practicing routinely, taking lessons, giving lessons and playing virtually with my friends.” Looking toward the new school year, which will open with students doing distance learning, Keltner said, “I’m hoping we can put video

sessions together as a group online,” similar to some of the projects that the orchestra did last year with visiting guest artists Mark Wood and Rachel Barton Pine. “I have been playing violin since around the second grade, so practicing has become routine,” said Karen Meng, a violinist who will be a 10th-grader this year. “Especially during the pandemic, I have more spare time and can work more on scales, etudes and other exercises that help improve my technical abilities.” Meng added that as the new school year begins, “I’m looking forward to playing music in a group, meeting new people and continuing to expand my musical knowledge.”

The new school year will begin with students doing distance learning and participating in small group activities. Conductor Angelo Moreno said, “After experiencing distance learning and being separated from each other in the spring, many students are hopeful that we can eventually return to in-person instruction with safety measures in place for students and staff. As director of orchestras at DHS and Holmes, last spring I was able to conduct modified direct instruction through Webex and produce virtual concert videos, which is a process of layering student audio and video file submissions, to create a

OLLI helps seniors keep learning with online classes BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer After postponing its classes in the spring, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UC Davis recently expanded its online course offerings, which are designed for people ages 50 and older, and launched a series of special interest groups. The special interest groups meet every weekday over Zoom. Topics include American Literature, Current U.S. Political Landscape, Media in Troubling Times, Recent Developments in Science, Meditation and Yoga, and several others. The groups will continue to meet online through the summer. According to the institute, the online classes and interest groups serve a dual

purpose. They allow older community members to continue learning about all kinds of interesting subjects and also provide a social outlet during a time when many seniors are isolating at home. “Because they are among the most vulnerable to the virus, their need to isolate is, perhaps, greater than the population at large,” an OLLI press release states. “But that hasn’t eliminated their desire for mental stimulation.” “Of course, I miss the personal aspect of meeting in a classroom,” said Dan Porter of Woodland. “But Zoom classes allow me to participate and maintain contact with those I have met and continue to meet through OLLI.” “I find that talking to and listening to very intelligent people with their own ideas

WOODLAND — Calling her progress “remarkable and commendable,” a Yolo County judge agreed Thursday to expunge the conviction of a Davis woman who admitted three years ago to vandalizing the Islamic Center of Davis, an offense that police and prosecutors classified as a hate crime. Attorneys for Lauren Kirk-Coehlo, 33, say her felony conviction and ongoing probation status have hampered her ability to find gainful employment and get on with her life, despite being a “model probationer” since her June 2017 sentencing. “Employment is critical for a person’s recovery and development, and prevents them from relapsing into prior behaviors. … She needs that stability,” defense lawyer Steve Sabbadini, his client seated beside him, said during a live-streamed Yolo Superior Court hearing. “This isn’t a clean slate for her … but it does help with employment,” Sabbadini added, noting that even if expunged, the case could still be used against Kirk-Coehlo if she ever reoffends. The Islamic Center of Davis took a neutral position on the defense motion, a stance the Yolo County

more than makes up for missing the inperson sessions,” said Davis resident Tony Fanning. OLLI instructors are volunteers, many of them university professors or retirees. The program also provides volunteer tech support for seniors — and by seniors — for OLLI members who need help connecting through Zoom.

Briefly ‘Sting’ nabs alleged thief The Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office’s Facebook page was abuzz this week with news of man’s arrest for allegedly stealing thousands of dollars worth of bee boxes. According to the social media post, sheriff ’s investigators culminated an ongoing agricultural theft probe Tuesday by serving a search warrant in the 34000 block of County Road 25, southwest of Woodland, where they reported finding more than 70 bee boxes reported stolen from at least six Yolo County beekeepers. “The value of the bee boxes alone was over $18,000, plus additional beekeeping supplies and the lost revenue the bee keepers incurred,” the post said. “Bee box thefts are unfortunately common in Yolo County and the surrounding area.” Justin Purdue, 35, of Yolo County, was arrested on suspicion of possessing stolen property (the bee boxes), methamphetamine and stolen motor vehicles, which sheriff ’s officials said included two allterrain vehicles and a motorcycle found on the property.

Is there really no spitting in baseball?

EASE DILEMMA TOUGH TO SOLVE ... given that UC Davis’ plan for extremely limited in-person classes has many Aggies deciding not to return to Davis this fall, a great number of Davis rentals will be empty for a while ... So, it was not surprising to see a headline in The Davis Enterprise that said “UC Davis students push for local legislation on lease cancellations.” ... wrote reporter Caleb Hampton, “An online petition titled ‘Davis Student Lease Cancellation and Rent Relief ’ asks the Davis City Council to implement ‘new legislation to allow cancellation of student leases throughout the city.’ “ ... in brighter days, housing for students has always been tight in Davis, which allows landlords to charge top dollar and demand 12-month leases, even though most students are here for only 9 or 10 months each academic year ... Unfortunately, a lease, if properly written and executed, is a valid contract that the city of Davis has virtually no control over

can get those ballots handled in a proper and timely fashion, it’s Amazon ...

L ... besides, a blanket cancellation of leases would be incredibly unfair to this town’s landlords, some of whom are great and some of whom aren’t so great ... CALLING JEFF BEZOS ... clearly, the president of the United States is banking on the U.S. Postal Service not being able to deliver all those ballots to voters and then deliver those same ballots to county election officials once the voters have filled out those ballots ... Time for Jeff Bezos to round up all his Amazon vans and do the country a favor ... use your billions for good, Jeff ... the country will be everlastingly grateful ... if anyone

ONG MAY IT WAVE ... the president says if any NFL player takes a knee during the playing of the National Anthem, he won’t watch anymore ... which is his right ... just as it’s the right of any player to kneel ... however, the president thinks flying the Confederate flag, the symbol of a nation of traitors to the United States who killed thousands and thousands of American soldiers, is just fine ... HE SAID IT ... after railing against mail-in voting for several months, the president is now claiming it’s OK in Florida because that state has “a great Republican governor.” .... mail-in voting in Nevada should be banned, however, because according to the president the “Democrat” governor doesn’t know what he’s doing ... if you don’t believe me, roll the tape ...

BASEBALL IS BACK ... I’ve been wondering all along how Major League Baseball was going to enforce it’s “no spitting” rule, given that most players spit several dozen times per inning at a minimum ... the rule was put into place because of the coronavirus, which presumably could in rare cases be transmitted by spitting ... MLB video reveals that spitting has been reduced, but not eliminated ... SPEAKING OF SPITTING ... the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel just announced that in men’s and women’s soccer, players ejected for spitting at an opponent will have to serve a two-game penalty ... I didn’t realize spitting at one’s opponent was so prevalent that it needed a special specific rule ... And, just in case you were asleep when this earth-shattering news hit the pavement, the “motorcycle grip” is now banned during faceoffs in men’s lacrosse ... — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

Neighbors report explosion at apartment BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Davis police prepared to search a South Davis apartment Thursday evening after neighbors reported hearing sounds of an explosion coming from the residence earlier in the day. The day-long incident that brought police, firefighters and Yolo County Bomb Squad personnel to the scene began shortly after 10 a.m. with initial reports of water flooding at the Owendale Mutual Housing Community, 3023 Albany Ave. “When they got inside, they saw that the sprinkler system had been activated,” causing the flooding inside the apartment now under investigation, as well as in several neighboring units, Davis police Lt. Art Camacho said. Neighbors also told

firefighters they had heard “some sort of explosion” coming from the apartment, although there was no physical evidence that a blast had occurred, according to Camacho. “So now we are investigating whether that actually took place,” Camacho said at the scene. The bomb squad, which sent a remote-controlled robot to inspect the apartment’s interior, also found nothing suspicious. Residents of the apartment — believed to be a couple and a young child — were not on the premises when emergency personnel arrived on scene, and it was unknown whether anyone had been inside the unit at the time of the reported explosion or had suffered any injuries, Camacho said. The investigation was expected to extend into the evening.

Pets of the week Special to The Enterprise Lots of animals are waiting for “forever homes” at the Yolo County Animal Shelter, 2640 E. Gibson Road in Woodland. Among them is Dusty (A182070), a 2-month-old shorthaired gray kitten who is active and entertaining. He is a big sweetheart with a motorboat purr who only wants 110% of your attention.

Being ‘open’ in a time of closure DAVIS MEDIA ACCESS

BY AUTUMN LABBÉ-RENAULT Special to The Enterprise

n my recent interview with the Rev. Beth Banks of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Davis on the “COVID-19 Community Report,” she said of UUCD, “the buildings are closed, but the church is open.” In a time when our common language is populated with words like closed, distanced, and quarantined, to hear someone acknowledging the ways in which we can be open was like a breath of unmasked fresh air. So yes, through that lens, Davis Media Access (DMA) is open. It’s a peculiar COVID reality: the early weeks were marked by lowlevel panic and too many moments with us asking “how do we manage while closed?” The ensuing months have been filled with not only figuring out the what, but the how, and retooling to do everything remotely as we “reopen.” As the only nonprofit media and technology center in the county, we have a unique role to play. Not only do we highlight important community information and provide entertainment and music as respite, but other nonprofits and community groups who need to take events and fund raisers virtual are turning to us in droves for help. We’ve begun planning for

local elections this fall, we’re busy getting to relaunch some grant work, and have moved to remote platforms for shows and workshops. In some ways, DMA has never been never been busier. Here’s a glimpse at some current projects: Hollywood at Home — Collaborative Video Workshop for Youth: this summer, DMA has reimagined its youth video-making classes and will offer an interactive, collaborative online workshop for youth aged 9-12 years, Aug. 10–14, from 3-5 pm. Students will work together online to develop the video’s concept, storyboard and script. Each participant will then video portions of the script at home using the cameras built into their phone. Students will share their segments using an online video editor called WeVideo, and work together to edit and piece together everyone’s different parts. Workshop enrollment is limited to a maximum of eight students, and registration closes by Thursday August 6, 2020. For more info please see https://davismedia.org/hollywood-at-home. Relaunching studio shows: DMA maintains an HD television studio and editing booths, and during normal times, we use the

studio to train community volunteers and interns, to produce shows of local interest, and to support volunteer use of the facility. We suspended these productions a few months ago but are now relaunching on a remote platform. As one who hosts some of these shows, I can tell you it is not the same as using the studio! But it works, and we think it’s more important to get that content out there than to worry about production perfection. With much gratitude for DMA’s technical staff, especially Studio Manager Diane Dedoshka and Director of Operations Darrick Servis, I’m pleased to share our first two outings. Lin Weaver interviews DMA Training & Program Manager Alex SilvaSadder about our organization’s pivots during the pandemic on “In the Studio” https://youtu.be/ gUXclgvvyKc, and I have a chat with our new mayor, Gloria Partida on “The City Considers” https://youtu.be/a_JO6TjHmRU. All programs air on Comcast Channel 15 in Davis, and you can also subscribe to our YouTube channel for regular updates https://www.youtube.com/user/ DavisMediaAccess Also on our YouTube, you’ll find videos from local Black Lives Matter marches, the showcase of videos from Make Music Day, and a

wealth of other local content. Our full archive lives at https://dctv. davismedia. Local election coverage: we’re starting our planning for the Nov. 3 election. Yes, it’s that election, but there’s also a slew of local offices up for grabs, plus the complications of both the City and the Davis Joint Unifed School District moving to district elections. Along with COVID, this provides us with an opportunity to examine our coverage and think about retooling it. I’ll have more information for next month’s column. KDRT DJs back on the air: finally, we’ve been able to bring back a number of KDRT programmers into the studio. This is accomplished with widely staggered air shifts and rigorous cleaning protocol. All shows can be heard live on KDRT 95.7 FM, and also streamed live at https:// kdrt.org, where you can also find a schedule, program highlights, DJ contact info, or listen or download archived programs. — Autumn Labbe-Renault is executive director of Davis Media Access.

District Attorney’s Office supported. Prosecutor Ryan Couzens said Thursday the mosque’s members, while potentially agreeable to shortened probation, questioned the ramifications of expungement — namely, whether a more lenient sentence is “possibly …. an incentive for other people.” “Muslims are often targets of discrimination, which is something that maybe Ms. Kirk-Coehlo didn’t fully appreciate,” Couzens said. “The mosque was not only a place or worship, but also a sanctuary, and much like a residential burglary can shatter people’s sense of safety, in addition to the physical damage, here it really had that effect.” Calling Kirk-Coehlo’s crime “a one-time act that will not be repeated,” Judge David Rosenberg granted the defense motion, his ruling reducing her two felonies to misdemeanors and ending her probation two years ahead of schedule. Kirk-Coehlo then withdrew her prior guilty pleas and pleaded not guilty to the counts, after which Rosenberg dismissed the case. “The person who is sitting before the court today is quite different from the person who sat before the court three years ago. The

changes are remarkable and commendable,” Rosenberg said. “I’m quite confident that the different person sitting before the court today will move in a completely different direction.”

‘Positive changes’ Authorities arrested Kirk-Coehlo, a Davis High School and UC Berkeley graduate, on Feb. 14, 2017, several weeks after surveillance cameras captured her shattering six windows, vandalizing bikes and leaving raw pork — for Muslims a forbidden food — on the Islamic Center’s Russell Boulevard property in the middle of the night. Investigated by Davis police alongside the FBI, the crime galvanized the Davis community, triggering an outpouring of emotional and financial support to the Islamic Center and its members. Hundreds of people gathered in Central Park that week to show their solidarity with the Muslim community. Davis police successfully obtained a $1 million bail enhancement following Kirk-Coehlo’s arrest, citing her social media activity in which she expressed “dreams and aspirations” of killing people and glorified killers who attacked churches and mosques. Defense attorneys called the

Two months later, KirkCoehlo unexpectedly pleaded guilty to the charges in full — felony vandalism with a hate crime enhancement and vandalism to a church — with no promise of leniency, her attorneys saying she “wanted to take responsibility for her actions.” Although prosecutors argued at sentencing that Kirk-Coehlo posed a continued threat to public

OBITUARY Jan Campbell

Feb. 17, 1945 — July 18, 2020 Jan Campbell, a long time Davis resident with her husband Davis Campbell, passed away early Saturday morning, July 18, 2020, at home due to complications of pancreatic cancer. Jan was born Feb. 17, 1945, at Presidio Hospital in San Francisco to her mother Margaret Starrett and her father Patrick Starrett. Jan and her sister Kelly and brother Michael grew up together in Marin County California. Jan went to Sonoma State University where she met her husband to be, Davis Campbell. They married in 1969 and moved to Davis. Jan went to work as a staff member at the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences. When she retired she was staff coordinator of the UCD Aquaculture Center. Jan was an avid gardener. After retirement from UCD, Jan spent time developing her garden and became a volunteer gardener at the UCD Arboretum. She was an active supporter of the Arboretum and Public Gardens and deeply appreciated the wonderful staff and volunteers. She and Davis also served on the Arboretum Planning Council. She had a special place in her heart for Qigong. Jan was devoted to her

special group of “crones,” led by Rebecca Pope, who met every week without fail to practice their Qigong. It brought her friendship, peace and mindfulness. On Sept. 6, 2019 Jan and Davis celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Davis’ late mother always referred to them as “Tweedledee and Tweedledum”. A matched set. Her sister Kelly wrote: “My sister Jan was my best friend and confidant. To one another we were known as Swedish sister warriors. We never give in without a fight. That’s what we do.” Jan was also very close to her brother Michael, who lives in Truckee. Both Michael and Kelly were at her side with Davis when she passed on July 18. Jan’s longtime family friend Jane Hill wrote, “Stroll through Jan’s amazingly beautiful garden; you see and feel her everywhere — her pure heart, her positive attitude and her sense of humor that never left. Her creativity abounds in her harmony and love with nature. A carved stone tucked into her space says it all; ‘Make each moment an occasion to live deeply, happily and in peace.’ Because of the pandemic, a celebration of life service in Jan’s memory will be held at a later date.

safety that warranted prison time, Judge Daniel Maguire, who presided over the case at the time, said her intensive treatment would best serve the community long-term. In addition to five years’ probation, Maguire ordered Kirk-Coehlo to serve 120 hours of community service, pay $7,600 in restitution, avoid social media, and undergo weekly counseling sessions as well as cultural sensitivity and awareness training — all now completed, the defense

motion says. The document included letters from Kirk-Coehlo’s mother, her psychiatrist Joan Gerbasi and KirkCoehlo herself, who wrote that she has “improved and grown,” enjoys close and healthy relationships that she previously lacked, and wants to continue her progress with a career in science. “I have had innumerable job interviews where my felony record would come up either in conversation or during a background check, and for almost every potential employer this precludes any further possibility of employment,” the letter says. “If my probation is terminated and my charge reduced, I promise to continue all these positive changes and will never take it for granted.” Gerbasi, meanwhile, highlighted Kirk-Coehlo’s perspective about her offense as her most significant change. “In stark contrast to her attitude when she was first released from jail, she is now nearly incredulous that she committed her crime,” Gerbasi wrote. “She can no longer relate to the frame of mind she was in at that time and has shown deep remorse.” — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenterprise .net or 530-747-8048.

WEST NILE: ‘We must not let our guard down’

OLLI: Programs offer variety of options to continue education From Page A1 designed to support working professionals who wish to refresh or expand their job skills over the course of their career. The division has more than 70,000 enrollments per year in its traditional courses, serving lifelong learners in the Davis area, and over a million yearly enrollments in its Coursera classes, which serve people all over the world. “The mission of Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is to further the pursuit of lifelong learning by offering

a diverse educational program of high quality, affordable courses and events for people age 50 and older living in Davis and nearby communities,” the press release states.

From Page A1

OLLI programs vary in length from single sessions to six and eight-week courses. The OLLI summer session special interest groups are included under the $20 summertime membership fee. — Reach Caleb Hampton at champton@ davisenterprise.net. Follow him on Twitter at @calebmhampton.

STAGE: Orchestra students ready to get back From Page A1 for family members and the public. But as any musician well knows, there is no substitute for making music together as a team in real time physically together.” Cellist Grover Locke agrees. “As a musician, we need to meet together (as an orchestra) in person” in order to get the best musical results.” But Locke feels certain that the orchestra

will come together fairly quickly after the summer break. “Moreno is good at whipping the students back into shape (after the summer break) every year,” Locke said. Violist Keltner acknowledged that “the day when we’ll walk into the rehearsal room with the full orchestra is still a ways away. But I know we’ll find creative and interesting ways to pull off performances and create music together.

Violinist Meng said, “Orchestra involves many students working together to make music, which is more difficult online. But I’m looking forward to the challenge.” Davis High has three orchestras — the Symphony Orchestra, the Baroque Ensemble, and the Chamber Orchestra. — Reach Jeff Hudson at jhudson @davisenterprise.net or 530-7478055.

Report outlines Mental Health Court successes Special to The Enterprise The Yolo County Mental Health Court team has published its outcome report for fiscal year 201920, showing significant reductions in arrests, jail bed days and hospital bed days among Mental Health Court participants. Mental Health Court is a minimum 18-month, court-based treatment and monitoring system for adult offenders with a serious mental illness. Mental Health Court is designed to increase the treatment engagement of the participants while reducing arrests, hospitalizations and jail time during and after their involvement and

participation in the program. The program is a collaborative effort among the Probation Department, Health and Human Services Agency, Yolo Superior Court, Public Defender and District Attorney. Mental Health Court follows the Forensic Assertive Community Treatment model where participants get intense services two hours per week or meet with staff four times per week. The team provides participants with wrap-around treatment, which includes a focus on mental health, substance abuse, housing, vocational training and school, and physical health.

The goal is to address the criminogenic factors and reduce recidivism. When participants are close to graduation, they join in a restorative justice conference. Of the 86 individuals assessed during 2019-20, 29 were enrolled in one of the collaborative courts. Nine of those who didn’t enroll did not qualify because they didn’t suffer from a serious mental illness, or they chose not to enroll. For those who enrolled, when comparing the 12 months prior to starting Mental Health Court to the 12 months afterward, there was a 69-percent decrease

in arrests, a 48-percent decrease in jail bed days, a 100-percent decrease in local hospital bed days, and a 100-percent decrease in state hospital bed days. “These numbers are astounding,” said Gary Sandy, chairman of the Yolo County Board of Supervisors. “This shows how dedicated this team is, particularly those providing the services, treatment and supervision.” There are 14 participants in Mental Health Court. The team is implementing a grant of $747,280 from the Federal Bureau of Justice Assistance that will double the program to 30 participants.

in the middle of summer and conditions are right for mosquitoes to continue breeding and posing a threat for disease transmission,” said Goodman. “We must not let our guard down now and we should continue taking all the necessary precautions such as dumping stagnant water from around our home and wearing insect repellent while spending time outdoors. Both of these actions are critical to protect our health from West Nile.” West Nile virus is transmitted to humans via the bite of infected mosquitoes, with symptoms — including fever, headache, body aches and nausea — typically developing within three to 14 days. Approximately 80 percent of those infected with the virus will not show any symptoms, but about one in 150 will develop a severe neuroinvasive illness that can include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, seizures and paralysis. People over age 50 and those with diabetes or hypertension are more likely to develop the most serious symptoms. The dead birds found in Davis that tested positive for West Nile were a black-crowned night heron found east of the city on July 30 and a California scrub jay found near Fifth Street and Pole Line Road on Aug. 2. Mosquito samples that tested positive were found in west, north and south Davis on Aug. 4 as well as

elsewhere in Yolo County. In response to the increased West Nile Virus activity, the district will continue surveillance efforts, testing mosquitoes for virus, treating mosquitoes in all known sources and performing adult mosquito control as necessary throughout parks, neighborhoods and other agricultural sources in areas where the mosquitoes have tested positive. For current information about district activities, visit www. FIGHTtheBITE.net. Residents may also subscribe to mailing lists to receive email notifications for upcoming mosquito treatments by zip code. To sign up, go to spray notifications on the website. Meanwhile, everyone is encouraged to practice the “District D’s” of mosquito prevention: ■ Drain standing water that may produce mosquitoes. ■ Dawn and dusk are times to avoid being outdoors. ■ Dress appropriately by wearing long sleeves and pants when outside. ■ Defend yourself by using an effective insect repellent. Make sure to follow label directions. ■ Door and window screens should be in good working condition. ■ District personnel are also available to address any mosquito problems.

Get to know these furry masked bandits BY SARA THOMPSON Special to the Enterprise

accoons are common mammals found all over North America and other parts of the world. Best known for their black mask and ringed tail, these fuzzy animals are intelligent and have adapted well to life alongside humans. But what makes raccoon behaviors so unique? A raccoon’s natural habitat is forested areas with tall trees to climb when evading predators. They do not like open spaces as they are not able to run very fast and rely on either hiding under an object or climbing to escape threats. Raccoons look for tree hollows to den in when sleeping or caring for young. When tall areas are unavailable, raccoons have been seen using burrows abandoned by other animals. Primarily nocturnal animals, raccoons are out at night to best evade predators who rely on sight to hunt. The mask on their face is thought to reduce glare and help them see and navigate in the dark. Raccoons are omnivores, meaning they can and do eat just about everything. In the wild they feed on insects, amphibians, fish, eggs, nuts and fruits. An opportunistic eater, a raccoon isn’t not shy about going through trash cans at campgrounds and urban areas for an easy meal. One of the more puzzling behaviors of raccoons is “dousing” or putting food in water. When first observed, it was thought that they did not have saliva glands and needed to moisten foods, but that has since been proven untrue. Many then believe that these animals are washing their food

It is still not entirely clear why raccoons put their food in water before eating it, but it could be to increase the tactile experience. GREG SCHECHTER/ WIKIMEDIA COMMONS

EXPLORIT SCIENCE CENTER before eating it. Raccoons have very nimble and dexterous fingers, but lack thumbs so they need to hold food with both hands to ensure a proper grip on their meal. When observed dousing their food in water, they are moving it around in their hands. This movement has been observed even with water is not available to the animal. It is still not entirely clear why raccoons put their food in water before eating it, but it could be to increase the tactile experience. By getting their hands wet they increase nerve sensitivity, just like when our hands get wet. They can then better feel their food which could

help how they eat it. The campers in our Wild and Wonderful Animal Behavior Summer Science Camp this week learned about many fun and unique animal behaviors including raccoons. They also observed the footprints of several animal species in Mace Ranch Park with ground sprinkled flour “track traps” including raccoon, neighborhood cats, and birds. ———— Explorit’s coming events: ■ Fall Camps are being planned to help enrich your student’s science learning while area schools are in a digital learning format.

n our May column, we wrote about the experience we had going through the Starbucks drive-through, when the folks in the car in front of us surprised us by paying for our order. We ended the column by saying that we would, to the best of our ability, pay the kindness forward. Last week we had an opportunity to do just that. Ironically, it happened in the Starbucks drive-through. And again, because of the driver of the car in front of us. But it was different this time. When we pulled up to the window, one of our favorite young baristas was turning around to hand us our coffee. “Sarah” knows us by name and always has a smile for us. She goes out of her way to put a smile on our faces, too. On one occasion when the drivethrough was closed she brought our drinks out to us as we waited in the parking lot so that we wouldn’t have to go into the store. We definitely have a soft spot for her. “How are you?” we asked Sarah as she started to lean out the window to give us our coffees. That was when we saw the tears. “Not so good,” she said. And the tears started streaming. There are signs posted at most Starbucks drivethru lanes requesting that you wear a mask at the window. It turned out that the woman driving the car in front of us had refused Sarah’s request that she wear a face mask at the window. The woman then proceeded to berate Sarah and threaten to report her

TECH OVER 60 to corporate. Sarah hadn’t had time to recover from exchange this before we pulled up to the window. Through her tears she told us what had just happened. Our hearts broke for her as she said, “I just want to feel protected, and to protect you guys.” We offered as much support as we could in the few minutes we had to speak with her at the drivethrough window. Then we headed out for our afternoon drive around town. As we drove around, we couldn’t stop thinking and talking about what had just happened. With increasing frequency we’re all reading about these types of ugly incidents. We read the stories in disbelief. But It’s different when you find yourself walking — or driving — right into a real-time situation. And it involves someone you care about. It hits hard. We talked about all the frontline workers who have to greet and engage in transactions with the public for hours on end. How scary it must be for them, and how unfair when they are harassed and attacked while doing what their employers require them to do. Even through her mask we could see the vulnerability on Sarah’s face as she described her experience and tried to get her bearings. As we continued to drive and talk, our sadness turned into anger and frustration. Anger at that driver and the unfairness of what had happened to Sarah — and happens to many other frontline workers who just want to feel protected. And frustration, because we felt helpless and unable to

right the wrong for Sarah. Then it occurred to us that maybe there was a small something we could do. So, we drove to Trader Joe’s and called the store from their parking lot. And that’s where the bitterness of the day started to give way to sweetness and kindness. Because Trader Joe’s will meet seniors in the parking lot, do their shopping, and bring their groceries to the car. But it didn’t stop there. When the TJ’s employee came out to our car we asked if they had some fresh flowers in the store. We briefly explained what had just happened and that we wanted to bring some flowers to our barista. We handed the employee our debit card and she went back into the store. She returned a few minutes later with a bunch of mixed flowers, and as she gave them to us she handed back our debit card saying “We don’t want to charge you for this; we just think it’s such a nice thing to do.” Wait — we were supposed to be the ones performing the act of kindness. Instead we found ourselves on the receiving end — again. When we got back to Starbucks we handed Sarah the flowers and gave her an air hug. “This is from us and Trader Joe’s,” we told her. And tears flowed again. Bittersweet tears. Not just Sarah’s this time. For us, the flowers were really a small gesture. And truth be told, done in part to make us feel better. When Trader Joe’s got involved, the kindness factor skyrocketed. Kindness, it turns out, is contagious. In fact, it’s all

around us much of the time. And when it seems to be missing, you can make compassion and kindness palpable with what you say and what you do. Thank you, Sarah, for always being warm and kind to us, and thank you Trader Joe’s for your acts of kindness — toward us and toward a sweet Starbucks barista who needed some comfort that day. — Jacci O’Connor and Jay Woods own Tech Over 60, www.techover60.com.

The (awards) show must go on ... Local theaters get multiple Elly nominations BY BEV SYKES Enterprise theater writer

emember theater? You know â€” that place where you went inside a beautiful building and sat down with a bunch of other people and watched actors perform on stage for you? There is no theater anywhere now (not even on Broadway), but SARTA (Sacramento Area Regional Theatre Alliance) is remembering when there was theater and announced its nominations for Elly Awards on Sunday. Despite the 100 degree heat, four SARTA board members took turns announcing this yearâ€™s nominees â€” in their pajamas, from a secret location. The Woodland Opera house gathered 47 nominations â€” more than any other theater, beating the next highest nominee, Sutter Street Theatre in Folsom, by 10 nominations. â€œJingle ARRGH the Way!â€? was nominated for eight Elly Awards in the Childrenâ€™s Theatre Productions category (shows geared for children performed by all ages): Eva Sarry, direction;

James Glica-Hernandez, musical direction; Eva Sarry, choreography; Mark Deamer, set design; Nikki Pendley, lighting design; Kevin Wenger, sound design; Travis Lindquist, leading male adult; and Marcia Gollober, supporting female adult. â€œChitty Chitty Bang Bangâ€? was nominated for 14 Ellys in the Childrenâ€™s Theatre Productions category: Woodland Opera House, overall production; Andrea St. Clair, direction; Joey Vincent, set design; Denise Miles, costume design; Craig Vincent, lighting design; Kevin Wenger, sound design; Kirsten Myers, leading female adult; Amelia Robinson-Burmester, leading female youth; Patrick Jordan, leading male adult; Cullen Smith, supporting female adult; Christopher Olvera (The Child Catcher), supporting male adult; Dave Lack, supporting male adult; Gil Sebastian (The Toymaker), supporting male adult; and Trevor Braskamp, supporting male adult. â€œI couldnâ€™t be prouder of my â€œChitty Chitty Bang Bangâ€? cast and crew for all of our Elly nominations,â€? director St. Clair said.

The Pence was closed for months, then open for three weeks, and then closed, and now we are reopening this week again. This summer, we have revamped the gallery so that we have a directional pathway and room limits for the number of visitors. The downtown walking traffic is so slow now that we rarely have more than three or four people at once. Of course, we do ask that you wear a mask and social distance from other groups. Now, our new hours are 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and Sundays. I know that reopening any business downtown is a sign that perhaps things will get back to normal as we know it. We hope that you will visit in small groups. Thereâ€™s no need to make an appointment. On display now is David Olivantâ€™s â€œRetroglyphsâ€? â€” an engaging exhibit, as thereâ€™s so much to look at!

‘Under the Riccione Sun’: Pleasures abound Summer romance sparkles in this breezy romp BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic Since it’s not possible to enjoy anything approaching an actual summer vacation, we can experience one vicariously via “Under the Riccione Sun.” This Italian charmer — debuting on Netflix — is a standardissue romance, with budding relationships and unrequited love percolating among attractive, sun-drenched young twentysomethings enjoying a week of leisure at Riccione, a beach community on Italy’s Adriatic coast. I actually approached this film with curiosity, wondering if Italian filmmakers would handle this genre with more grace than we Americans. Answer: absolutely. Where most domestic examples succumb to coarse vulgarity and exaggerated characters, directors Niccolò Celaia and Antonio Usbergo — operating under the nom de film of “YouNuts” — take a gentler approach. The result actually is rather sweet. Cinematographer Davide Manca’s opening tableau is a stunner: an overhead traveling shot of Riccione’s amazingly huge beach expanse, replete with thousands (!) of geometrically precise umbrellas, cabanas and folding chairs. This is the awesome setting into which the writers — Caterina Salvadori, Enrico Vanzina and Ciro Zecca — pour their characters, and it’d be hard

to imagine anything more sparkling and seductive. Would-be musician Ciro (Cristiano Caccamo) arrives first, hoping to get noticed in some sort of performance competition. When that fails to pan out, he stumbles into employment as a lifeguard, much to the delight of countless cuties. Ciro has a girlfriend back home — Violante (Rosanna Sapia) — who routinely checks on him via texts and phone calls. She has good reason; he attracts all manner of female attention, none more aggressive than the flirty Mara (Giulia Schiavo), captain of a beach volleyball team. The bookish Marco (Saul Nanni) hits town mostly to be near Guenda (Fotini Peluso); he has carried a torch for her for years, despite her having been in a steady relationship that entire time — until now. Opportunity knocks, because she has just been dumped by her boyfriend. Marco rents a room from Gualtiero (Andrea Roncato), a middle-aged pick-up artist whose hallway is adorned with photos of various one-night stands. Marco winds up sharing a room with Tommy (Matteo Oscar Girggioli), a long-haired, weed-toking slacker who’s flunking out of school and couldn’t care less. His stoner tendencies notwithstanding, he immediately perceives that Marco, clearly a decent guy, could do far better than the insufferably vain Guenda. Vincenzo (Lorenzo Zurzolo), a blind 20-year-old virgin, arrives chaperoned by his overly protective mother, Irene (Isabella Ferrari). Although understandably self-conscious about how his blindness might affect his

Marco (Saul Nanni) has been sweet on Guenda (Fotini Peluso) for years, but she couldn’t care less; she views him solely as a pal who gives great advice on how to reunite with her former boyfriend. potential as a “catch,” his insecurities are magnified by Irene’s well-intentioned but no less smothering presence. Still, Vincenzo maintains an affable sense of humor. That serves him well when taken under the companionable wing of Furio (Davide Calgaro), a friendly “loser” who wanted the lifeguard job that went to Ciro. Camilla (Isabella Ferrari) has been questioning her own longterm relationship; she hopes to attend university in Canada, which would put an obvious crimp on things. Cue the ensuing complications: The mildly clumsy Emma (Claudia Tranchese) pops up, having been sent by Violante to keep an eye on Ciro. She lands a restaurant job for which she’s wholly unsuited, and serves here as the “plain one” amid all the beautiful types. Furio encourages Vincenzo to

sign up on a dating app; Camilla, at loose ends, responds to his profile. Wanting to conceal his blindness, Vincenzo pretends that his phone camera is broken and they communicate solely via text. Encouraged by Tommy and Gualtiero, Marco confronts Guenda about her narcissism (the idea being, she’ll then “respect” him more). Alas, acting on this new awareness merely makes her reunite with the former boyfriend, which demotes Marco to her most trusted adviser. While trying to crash an “under 30” nightclub party that Vincenzo attends — ostensibly to “keep him safe” — Irene is ejected by Lucio (Luca Ward), a ruggedly handsome bouncer who immediately takes a fancy to her. Everything plays out in a fun, fluffy, mischievously sexy and wholly unthreatening manner. The actors are laid-back and

Starring: Cristiano Caccamo, Saul Nanni, Fotini Peluso, Matteo Oscar Girggioli, Lorenzo Zurzolo, Isabella Ferrari, Davide Calgaro, Claudia Tranchese, Isabella Ferrari, Luca Ward and Andrea Roncato Rating: TV-MA, for profanity, drug use and fleeting nudity likable; if their characters aren’t terribly deep, they’re at least distinct, and in most cases warm enough to deserve our sympathy or encouragement. It’s not hard to predict how folks will pair off, but that isn’t the point; the journey is just as engaging as the destination, particularly when set among Riccione’s beaches, water parks and colorful party scene. The action is backed by a slew of larkish Italian pop songs (and I have to assume that the lyrics are less silly in their native tongue than when translated into English). Speaking of such things, Netflix defaults to English subtitles and dubbing, and the latter is positively dire; be sure to switch to spoken Italian, or you’ll lose too much of the dialog’s emotional inflection and intensity. “Under the Riccione Sun” may be modest, but it’s also thoroughly enjoyable. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http:// derrickbang.blogspot.com.

BCTC presents short radio play Author Chang to be featured Special to The Enterprise Bike City Theatre Company has released its latest radio play in the “Summer Shorts” lineup of the online series “Radio Tuesdays.” “The Great Stampede” by Nicholas Walker Herbert is free to listen to, and audiences can stream the play on bikecitytheatre.org or by searching for “Bike City Theatre Company” on SoundCloud.com. “The Great Stampede” is based on a mysterious report about something called the “Davidstown incident.” As playwright Nicholas Walker Herbert describes: “Every year, a small town in the American Great Plains experiences a giant stampede, but unlike any seen before ...” Is it a true story? Listeners must

decide for themselves. Herbert, frequent collaborator and new company member with BCTC, is an award-winning playwright and theater artist based in California. His plays have been produced and developed around the United States and internationally since 2001. In 2019, three of his short plays were presented in the BCTC’s Salon Reading Series Summer Shorts II. One of those short plays, “Astronauts in Love,” was produced by Winters Theatre Company in their first 10minute play festival in January, and has been adapted as a radio drama for the “Quarantine Radio Hour” podcast. Now with five radio plays under its belt, Bike City Theatre Company has

— like many organizations — adjusted to the pandemic in an unexpected departure from their initial plans for the year. “Radio Tuesdays” are funded by the city of Davis Community Arts grant, which previously supported BCTC’s free live play readings. Up next in the lineup for August is the interview-style “Clown Jail” by company member Kevin Carlyle Gish, where NPR’s “Fresh Air” meets a sad clown painting. For more information, follow Bike City Theatre Company on Facebook or Instagram @bikecity theatre, or sign up for the mailing list at bikecity theatre.org. Note: Plays aired on “Radio Tuesdays” may contain adult material.

Special to The Enterprise Stories on Stage Davis will release the fifth episode of its twice-a-month podcast on Saturday, Aug. 8, with the short story “Tell Me What You Think of Me,” by Alexandra Chang, read by Joy Ding. “Tell Me What You Think of Me” is told from the perspective of a young ChineseAmerican woman who steps CHANG off San Francisco’s Muni Featured after another long, thankauthor less day of proofreading. On her trip home, she helps a stranger in need and inadvertently sets off a cascade of tensions about race, identity and choice. Alexandra Chang is from Northern California. She is the author of the novel “Days of Distraction,” released in March. She graduated from UC Berkeley and received her master’s in fine arts from Syracuse University. Her fiction has appeared in “Zoetrope: All-Story,” “Glimmer Train,” “LARB Quarterly Journal,” “Catapult,” and elsewhere.

She has previously worked as a technology reporter for “WIRED” and “Macworld.” Reading Chang’s story is Joy Ding, who has read live for Stories on Stage Davis the last two seasons. She is a writer, actor and musician living in San Francisco. She earned a master’s degree in creative writing from UC Davis, where she studied writing and acting. New episodes of the Stories on Stage Davis podcast air every second and fourth Saturday. All episodes of the podDING cast are available on the Will read Stories on Stage Davis webChang’s site, and regular podcast story listeners can also subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and Google Play. Stories on Stage Davis is a sponsored project of YoloArts, a nonprofit arts organization. For information, and to listen to the podcast, visit storiesonstagedavis.com.

ELLY: ‘Newsies’ nominated for 13 awards in the Musicals category From Page B1 “I have been an actor in regional theater throughout Northern California for nearly 40 years ... In that time, I have been a part of some amazing productions,” said multiple nominee Sebastian. He was nominated for portraying the role of the Toymaker in “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” for best director for “Of Mice and Men,” for set design for “Of Mice and Men” and shared in the best overall production nomination of “Of Mice and Men.” “I am overwhelmed and am so grateful to my ‘Mice and Men’ cast, many of whom were also nominated for awards. I am

blessed to be a part of this amazing community.” “Newsies” was nominated for 13 Elly Awards in the Musicals category: Woodland Opera House, overall production; Crissi Cairns, direction; Jacob Gutierrez-Montoya, choreography; James Glica-Hernandez and JiaMin Rosendale, musical direction; Joey Vincent, set design; Denise Miles, costume design; Craig Vincent, lighting design; Grace Leekley, leading female; Casey Camacho, leading male; Ernestine Balisi, supporting female; and Collin RobinsonBurmester, Elio Gutierrez, and Rodger McDonald all for supporting male.

Also, Veronica Gersalia was nominated for a makeup design award in the Comedy, Drama or Musical category for “Newsies.” “I am delighted Woodland Opera House’s ‘Newsies’ was recognized with so many Elly nominations from SARTA this year,” said co-musical director GlicaHernandez. “Newsies was a show where all the stars aligned to create a remarkable production. We were lucky to have such a consistently strong cast, crew and director group full of talent and collegiality.” “We are so proud of our Opera House family of actors, directors, musical directors, choreographers, and set, costume, lighting,

sound, and make-up designers, and we appreciate SARTA recognizing them for their outstanding work,” the Woodland Opera House said on its Facebook page. Brian McCann and Daniel Thatcher were nominated in the Youth Theatre Productions category (theater performed by youths) for their set design for Davis Musical Theatre Company’s Young Performer’s Theater production of “The Addams Family.” Jean Henderson was nominated for costume design for DMTC’s musical production of “Camelot.” Named for the late Eleanor McClatchy, a devoted patron of

the arts and former publisher of the Sacramento Bee, the Elly Awards celebrate excellence and the outstanding achievements of community theaters and artists in the greater Sacramento area. Created 38 years ago by local community actors, the Elly Awards have grown from a local Sacramento tradition to including theaters within a 70-mile radius. In honor of the 38th annual Elly Awards, SARTA will be hosting a single virtual ceremony for both the Youth and Adult divisions at 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 13, on Twitch TV.

PENCE: Save the date for the annual Pence Gallery Art Auction exhibit From Page B1 precision talents of Jennifer Van, my tireless studio assistant. I then agitated, teased, cajoled and bullied the printouts with the sizeable battery of formal devices, stylistic stratagems and surplus imagery any mid-career artist, who might have survived postmodernism, is apt to have accumulated. The resulting works on paper I named ‘retroglyphs,’ in the hope of pointing to their

layered history.” Olivant’s works on paper include bits of photographs of his sculptures, coupled with passages of painting, pencil and other graphic materials. He is aware of revisiting his own work, over and over, in these drawings. I’m amazed by his wonderful figures posed here and there, some taken from art history, some from life. This exhibit is up through Aug. 16, and is sponsored

by Tandem Properties. Also on display is the always fascinating exhibit “Slice: A Juried Cross-section of Regional Art,” this year juried by Hearne Pardee. Pardee is a professor of art at UC Davis, and I’ve highlighted just a few of his 30 chosen pieces here. Visitors can enjoy a towering sculpture created by Ianna Frisby titled “Inner Kingdom,” inspired by the underground limestone caves of Thailand. Small

bells, ribbons, crystals and jewels adorn the surface, making it a great piece to explore visually. Susan Brady’s “Silver Creek” combines photography, handmade paper and paint into a glowing view of a scene in nature. This landscape invites the viewer to pause and take in its atmosphere. Maryann-Steinert Foley’s “Carousel Horse No. 3” is a playful re-envisioning of a well-known horse

sculpture by Italian artist Marino Marini. The pose of the animal, straining upward as if trying to escape the carousel, is joyful. The dripping glaze work she uses echoes this sentiment. Also, please save the date for the Pence Gallery Art Auction exhibit, a selection of 150 works of art by regional artists, all to support our education programs. The auction is online at pencegallery.org

from Sept. 1 to 26 as well as in the gallery, and we will not have an event this year, of course. Visit the site to bid and acquire some amazing works of art, while supporting our gallery and our artists. Stay well and thank you all for your support of the Pence! — Natalie Nelson is the executive director and curator of the Pence Gallery; her column is published monthly.

Gaps in sick days put families at risk BY SHARAD JAIN AND MELODY TRAN-REINA Special to CalMatters

s COVID-19 cases grow across California, we are seeing in real time how the fear of losing one’s job is a main contributor to infection rates. Statewide, public health departments have found outbreaks that start in the workplace, with their workers ill but having to choose between their paychecks and their health. Too many California workers in essential jobs are still not provided sufficient paid sick days or job-protected leave. These meager job protections are putting coronavirus patients and their families in impossible situations. When family caregiving is needed desperately at home, the patient’s loved ones have little choice but to report to work or risk losing their jobs — and with it their housing income, grocery money, childcare and maybe even their health insurance. As primary care providers in the safety net, we witness patients making heartwrenching decisions in balancing their health needs with economic survival. The coronavirus outbreak has pushed so many working families to the brink. We’ve talked about the impact of COVID-19 on our patients’ health outcomes, but lack of access to sick days and insufficient family leave are often under-recognized factors that harm our patients. It’s time for California to take action. One of our patients was diagnosed with schizophrenia and has trouble accessing mental health care because of clinic closures. The patient’s paranoia caused him to be so worried about contracting COVID-19 that he started bathing in bleach and washing his hands and face so vigorously that they started to bleed. His mother was his primary caregiver but had to continue to work because she feared losing her job. Because the patient remained at risk due to minimal supervision during the day, he was ultimately hospitalized because he was a danger to himself. His mother must continue to work to support them both financially but fears leaving him by himself. Another patient is an elderly woman who, due to her medical illness and early dementia, required full-time care; however, her children made the difficult decision to leave her alone for long periods during the day because they had to go to work to pay rent and other bills. The patient developed shortness of breath due to an asthma exacerbation. She was able to call 911, and the paramedics transported her to the emergency department. If her children were able to take jobprotected leave to care for her, her hospitalization might have been prevented. Thousands of Californians have had to make these impossible decisions over the last four months. Paid-leave laws have a broad influence on the health and wellbeing of individuals and their surrounding communities. These policies are having a disproportionate impact on workers of color. A report in the Los Angeles Times found that Latino residents were more than twice as likely as white residents to contract the virus. In the Mission District of San Francisco, 95% of people who tested positive were Latinos. In Los Angeles County, the sources of outbreaks point back to workplaces such as warehouses, manufacturing plants, mail services and other essential services. We are urging state lawmakers to support Assembly Bill 3216 and Senate Bill 1383 to fill in gaps in job protections and paid leave, and increase paid sick days. These protections and provisions are particularly important for communities of color. Every person should be able to take the time they need to care for their families during this crisis. Expanding job protections and access to paid leave would provide a compassionate way for them to focus on the health of their families without sacrificing their economic stability. — Sharad Jain and Melody Tran-Reina are primary-care physicians at the Sacramento County Health Center. They wrote this for CalMatters, a public-interest journalism venture committed to explaining how California's Capitol works and why it matters.

Trying to get back to business Y ou can feel glimmers of hope that downtown Davis is coming back to life. LeShelle and I are visiting our favorite Davis restaurants. Shoppers in protective masks flip through vinyl records at Armadillo Music. G Street is filled with outdoor diners eating slices from Woodstock’s Pizza, burgers from Froggy’s and other local favorites. Meanwhile, signs in the window at Fleet Feet declare “Together We Move” and “Keep Running Davis!” Of course, we have a way to go before it’s business as usual again. The COVID-19 pandemic has turned the economy upside down. The university,the city and our local business owners are certainly feeling the strain. In some cases, such signature businesses as Bistro 33 and Davis Sports Shop have closed for good during the past few weeks. My hope is that we can show support for our local businesses while making sure we stay safe. Many local shops have done a great job in following public health orders by enforcing mask rules, offering hand sanitizer and limiting occupancies to prevent virus spread. I am certainly rooting for

our business owners during these historic times. I think of areas like the intersection of Third and A streets, a key link between UC Davis’ lecture halls and the wider community with its businesses and services. Just about a year ago, we celebrated an improvement project at Third and A streets that brought new paving, street lighting, bike racks and other features to this signature part of town. And of course, you can’t help but enjoy “The Davis Needle,” a 25-foot sculpture made of repurposed bike parts that now marks this business corridor. In the coming weeks, you’ll see new banners along Russell and Fifth Streets that further demonstrate our shared interests in our community. This multi-year project where the campus meets downtown took a lot of coordination between UC Davis,

LETTERS Vote no on DISC Developers don’t give up. The proposed project east of Target is back. Originally, it was promoted as a “research park”; now it’s promoted as housing. But housing for whom? Let’s learn from the past. I have a copy of the San Francisco Chronicle Real Estate section from June 28 and almost the entire front page plus the fourth page are about The Cannery. It is all “sponsored content,” meaning it’s one big expensive advertisement to get Bay Area people to buy homes in Davis’ Cannery. Of course, the DISC developers will also advertise to people in the Bay Area. And please remember the Sterling socalled “apartments” by the post office, which were billed as apartments, but each “apartment” has up to five bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, and no central bathroom. (Meanwhile, we’re conserving water!) Only for students, but promoted for families. Assuming students come back to UCD to live in the Sterling dormitory, they will drive on Russell to get to campus. DISC dwellers who aren’t working from home will drive their cars to wherever they’re going. And if they want to eat dinner in downtown Davis, they won’t find parking. Downtown is just too small. The Mace Curve project, now called DISC, would have turned a huge amount of fertile farmland into heat-collecting asphalt. This version does the same, and

Yolo Hospice I was pleased to read in The Davis Enterprise that Yolo Hospice in Davis has been ranked one of the best places to work in the country. The column said that Yolo Hospice “is not a classic capitalist organization, but a social-capitalist organization focused on stakeholders and not shareholders.” It is a place that focuses on providing a culture of caring with “values, mission, and purpose.” After the illness and death of beloved family members, I have sought the help of Yolo Hospice in many ways — through their home care, doctors, nurses, social workers, counselors, grief group leaders — and every person with whom I came in contact has been kind, patient, thoughtful and loving. The philosophy that created the Yolo Hospice work culture emanates out to its stakeholders and I am thankful. Congratulations, Yolo Hospice! Pam Rhodes Davis

Yet instead of going down in defeat, Battista found virtual ways of sharing their love of Shakespeare and theater. They created online Shakespeare reading groups and a series of youth workshops that were a hit. Throughout this time, it’s been encouraging to see such strong local support for our business community.

More than $200,000 was pumped into downtown businesses through a gift card program that also included matching funds split between the DDBA and city of Davis.

Dobbins was a labor of love I

t’s hard to believe that Dobbins Stadium at UC Davis, home of Phil Swimley Field, is 34 years old. Chatting this week with (finally) retired 87-year-old baseball coach Ralph Rago, I was reminded of the herculean effort that a handful of volunteers put forth in making the 3,500-seat once-impossible dream a reality. When Swimley’s Aggies first took the field at Dobbins, there were a couple things of note: It wasn’t yet called Dobbins Stadium — and it wasn’t really finished. Thanks to an Aggie athletic budget that hadn’t been used to writing checks of more than five digits, Swimley put together a truckload of volunteer help to finish the fit and trim on the cavernous ballpark. Fortunately, an endowment from James and Ann Dobbins allowed the mix-and-match work crew to put the project over the top. Rago and Swimley reminded

me of all the work done out there with donated supplies, piecemeal volunteer help and fingers crossed that weather help up. The playing surface was planed to such exact specifications and the outfield grass was so pristine that I remember the day Brewers General Manager Sal Bando visited and told me, “This is as good as what we have in Milwaukee.” (Bando was once at the Aggie field with prizefighter Gerry Cooney, part owner of the Stockton Ports, in the early 1990s. The Ports and another Swimley group were in tentative discussions about moving the single-A pro team to Davis. University officials didn’t see the idea as feasible, but that’s another story.) Anyway, Swimley told Bando something to the effect: “When you have a hundred plant pathologists on campus, if a patch of grass starts to turn yellow, they’re on it like Willie Mays on a fly ball.”

Or something like that. Considered one of the toughest collegiate facilities in which to hit the long ball, park dimensions are 310 feet down the lines, 385 to the power alleys and bus ride to dead center (410). There’s a lot of grass to constantly consider.

t was the Jerry Ling who must have put the equivalent of five years work in (at least that’s what the numbers calculated by volunteer Charlie Franti said). Neither Ling nor Franti are still with us — but in Dobbins Field, their legacy and love for Aggie baseball live on. I recall folks like local engineer Chad Langdon, Ernie Head, Rago, Swimley and

Duane Copley trying to work in 90-degree heat one day, then pumping water out of flooded holes as it poured rain the next day. Even then-Chancellor Ted Hullar got his feet wet, and alternately, his T-shirt sopping while helping turn a shovel or two. (Note: It’s often a dangerous undertaking to list folks who did something more than three decades ago. If I forgot anyone — like contract administrator Tom Compton — I am sorry. ) “You know,” Swimley told me the other day. “It was Ralph who was right there ... a significant person in putting that ballpark together.” Rago’s stay as an assistant to Swimley lasted almost 15 seasons: a decade at UCD and a few with Swim at the Solano Thunderbirds wooden-bat collegiate-league team. From opening day in 1986, it took almost a decade to get it to where it basically stands today. Batting cages have been nice, the press box and snack bar

work just fine, but wouldn’t it be nice if lights were added? They’re on the horizon, I’m guessing. But every so often — when it comes to funding — what we thought was on the horizon at the college level (not just UCD) becomes a mirage.

ong considered one of the best playing surfaces in college baseball, it has been the charge of current Aggie skipper Matt Vaughn to be the ultimate Dobbins’ caretaker. Vaughn, who played for and coached with Swimley, understands how important this stadium is to his former boss. And anyone who’s been around Davis baseball for awhile, knows how the building of Dobbins Stadium is just an extension of Aggie Pride. A tip of the cap should always go to those who came before. — Reach sports editor Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet41@ gmail.com or call 530-3204456. Follow him on Twitter: @BGsportsinDavis.

Davis baseball icon Ralph Rago, 87, retires Longtime mentor taught the game all around the world BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor Eisenhower was president. Alaska and Hawaii weren’t yet states. The internet, or something like it, was relegated to Flash Gordon adventures. And there, at Roosevelt High in Fresno, was a young Ralph Rago — standing tall in the Rough Riders’ dugout. It was Rago’s first official gig coaching baseball. Sixty-one years later — after the game has taken the Davis resident around the world — Rago has announced his retirement. Rago, 87, has flirted with hanging up his cleats before, but this time he means it. For much of the past decade, Rago and another regional octogenarian coaching icon — Guy Anderson — have teamed up to manage the Cordova and Capital Christian high school programs. “When (the pandemic hit) and the season was canceled, I thought, ‘The heck with it. It’s time to go,’ ” Rago told The Enterprise. The son of an Italian immigrant, Rago grew up in Los Banos and remembers “playing with the older kids” in the Central Valley. Rago served in the U.S. Army, then played baseball at Fresno State while he was a student assistant at Roosevelt. Gravitating to Davis High in 1959, Rago became part of a storied Blue Devil coaching staff, along with Royal Morrison and A.J. “Bud” Henle. “Davis enrollment was about 320, and the three of us were the only coaches on staff,” Rago once said. “We had some terrific teams, including that 1962 undefeated boys basketball team.” Rago coached the sophomore hoops team that year, but sat on Morrison’s bench as the boys won the thenmythical section title. “He was a very good coach,” remembers team star and eventual DHS coach Ralph Villanueva. “He wanted you to play hard and everything about him was very detailed.” That attention to detail continued as Rago stayed at the high school for more than two decades. Since his prep days, Rago’s résumé swelled: ■ A decade with UC Davis, assisting legendary skipper Phil Swimley. ■ Back to DHS where he helped then-head coach Dan Ariola and the Blue Devils win Sac-Joaquin Section

It was because of that list of accomplishments that the American Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame inducted Rago in 2013. “That honor means a great to me,” says Rago, who recalls that the Los Banos police chief allowed neighborhood kids to turn a vacant field into a baseball diamond and football field. Rago remembered playing games like three flies up, over the line and pepper. He wishes those things weren’t lost on today’s youth: “I still think pepper is a pretty good way for infielders to learn how to field ... and for batters to brush up on how to hit with two strikes.” Unfortunately, things have changed so that most ballparks now ban the cozy contest of pepper. “It has to do

GOLDENBERG: For safety sake From Page B5 It is a privilege. But sometimes something happens that connects the fantasy world of sports to the real issues of our world, and I treasure those moments. Sports cannot and should not exist in a vacuum. Last week, one of those moments happened. I did not treasure it. Facing the Astros, Dodgers relief pitcher Joe Kelly threw at the heads of several players and then verbally taunted them while making pouty faces, leading to both benches clearing. During the incident, announcers on the Fox Sports broadcast said: “Joe Kelly will not back down from anybody.” Ugh. This after Kelly threw 90-plus mph pitches within inches of the heads of Alex Bregman and Carlos Correa. A little background: The Dodgers and Astros have had a contentious relationship ever since it came out last offseason that Houston used cameras to steal signs during the 2017 season, which ended in a World Series victory over L.A. Look, I love baseball. Always will. But there is something fundamentally wrong with some of the unwritten rules in this game. No matter how many signs the Astros stole or how many trash cans they

banged on, there is nothing courageous about intentionally trying to injure another player. Especially right now. The U.S. is in the middle of a pandemic that has taken more than 150,000 lives. Protests around the country fighting for Black lives and basic human rights are being met with violence from police and federal agents. MLB itself has instituted safety protocols to protect players and their families from the virus and has broken its usual silence on social issues to support the Black Lives Matter movement. And yet, here we are ... After Kelly was suspended eight games by MLB, former Athletics pitcher Dallas Braden said on Twitter: “Suspend a player for policing his game more games than the cheaters? Put a (target) on ’em!” He means hit the Astros players. Braden, my man. Policing baseball does not include endangering players’ lives. When athletes’ health and safety are at risk every day from COVID-19, throwing 96 mph at a guy’s head on purpose does not merit congratulations. It never does. — Reach Lev Farris Goldenberg at lev. goldenberg@mcnaughton.media. Follow him via Twitter @levgoldenberg.

with insurance or something,” explains Rago, saying that players “are really missing out there.” So, with all this new-found time on his hands, what’s the coach going to do? For starters, he’s been reading a lot — and watching MLB on television. “I enjoy it,” he says. “It’s what they had to do. It’s pretty tough to play without fans ... without crowds. But I still enjoy it.” Rago also has been gathering his notes, sorting out his drills, practice routines and coaching suggestions — all of which he’s written down over the years. “Who knows?” he ponders, only half kidding. “Maybe I’ll write a book ... just something to keep me busy.” Now that the California Interscholastic Federation has determined that fall and winter sports will both start around Jan. 1, what does the veteran coach think? “Oh, boy. That’s going to be interesting. Some of the players, both boys and girls, play basketball during the winter, then they’ll play a spring sport, too? They’ll have to decide what they’re going to do.” And what does Rago think has changed most over the seven decades in which he has played and coached? “The amount of kids playing on these travel teams,” says the Ol’ Professor. “That’s hurt a little bit in high school because some of these travel teams are playing at the same time as the high school teams on weekends. “It impacts young pitchers, who can be throwing too much.” And what will he miss most? “Working with the kids,” comes the quick response. “And making great friendships that have lasted a lifetime.” Swimley, who retired after 37 seasons with UCD and went on to the Vacaville-based Thunderbirds with Rago, was asked what his sidekick’s contributions meant to him ... “It’s not so much what he meant to me,” answered Swimley. “He meant a lot to a lot of players and people who worked with him. “I’d like to emphasize the impact he’s had on the umpteen thousands of players over how long he coached and taught the game. His contributions extend all the way into Europe and Africa. “He was in charge of everything England did in baseball ... from the national team on down to (everything it did) at the school’s level. “His international impact on the game was significant.” Maybe Rago should write that book. — Reach sports editor Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet41@gmail.com or call 530-320-4456.

The other cleat has dropped Reports say Big Sky to move remaining games to ‘spring’

BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor After debating the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic, opponents canceling games and the diverse geographical settings for member schools, the Big Sky Conference presidents, including UC Davis Chancellor Gary May, decided to postpone their 2020 football season to next spring. A unanimous vote was returned Thursday afternoon, but the conference Commissioner’s Office is not expected to provide an announcement until Friday morning. The Davis Enterprise has learned there is much to be done in moving what will be an eightgame slate sans nonconference games past Jan. 1. One member school official said it could be March before

football starts up. Another university’s president hinted “it could be as soon as January.” “We were pretty much united that it just wasn’t safe to play at this point,” May said on Thursday. “The health and safety of our student-athletes was the overriding priority.” May said he wasn’t surprised by the decision, which was made during an almost-90-minute teleconference: “I pretty much knew going in that this would be the outcome. I am, of course, disappointed. I’m a fan, and I’m really sorry that we won’t be playing college football this fall.” While its 13 member schools awaited a decision on the fate of the Big Sky football season, UC Davis knew its nonconference opponents — Nevada, San Diego and San Jose State — had already

been scratched from the lineup. The Mountain West Conference, which included Aggie foes Nevada (Aug. 29) and San Jose State (Sept. 12), announced Wednesday that its season will include eight league games and the option of playing two nonconference schools. But for UCD, the kicker is that the Mountain West also postponed football’s start to Sept. 26 — if the season is played. UC Davis Director of Athletics Kevin Blue confirmed on Thursday the loss of the Nevada and San Jose State contests, but said he didn’t know if the university would try to replace or reschedule those games. Blue said that the guaranteed payouts from the two canceled

Mountain West Football Bowl Subdivision road games would not be collected, subject to the contracts’ force majeure clauses. These addenda allow the affected hosts to walk away from their agreements because of unforeseeable circumstances that prevent a party from fulfilling a contract — in this case, the COVID-19 outbreak. Nevada was scheduled to be a $375,000 payday for the Aggies and San Jose State was $400,000. San Diego, a member of the Pioneer League, last month dropped its nonconference outings (including the Sept. 5 game at UC Davis Health Stadium). “I know people hate it when you say ‘it is what it is,’ but that’s the case,” said Aggie head football coach Dan Hawkins. “I’m disappointed for the kids, but we’ll adjust and we’ll roll. Our guys are great. They get it and they want to be safe.” Hawkins said football staff and school officials have been “very honest and transparent” with the

players and have presented them with “all sorts of scenarios. So it was disappointing, but absolutely not a surprise. Medically it’s the right decision. “Kevin (Blue) and Gary (May) were great through this wholeprocess. They were very supportive of everyone and we allknew what was going on.” Now, the shape of winter/ spring football for the Aggies rests with the Big Sky Council of Presidents and the member schools’ athletic directors. Decisions to be made include starting dates, whether the current schedule will simply translate to its new “spring” home, will fans be allowed and whether the conference’s decision will spur a decision about a Football Championship Subdivision playoff, albeit truncated. “We’re going to work with the NCAA to see if there’s any possibility of an FCS championship playoff in the spring,” May reported. “Short of that, we may

A sports treasure tome Baseball’s return is a mixed bag

teared up a little when Major League Baseball finally returned two weeks ago. Even sans fans in the stands — plus the piped-in crowd noise — it was a needed distraction from the current moment, a glimpse at a return to normalcy. When the Giants got whooped by the Dodgers on Opening Day, I still couldn’t stop grinning. If anything, Dem Bums clobbering Our Bums meant we were returning to business as usual. Baseball was back. Although I am glad there is baseball again, I’m not entirely convinced that there should be baseball right now — because everything is not normal. Coronavirus cases and deaths are still spiking across the country, and baseball is not immune. On July 24, my colleague Bruce Gallaudet wrote this in his column on baseball’s return: “Might players opt out of their commitments in the middle of the season? (If I’m playing in Florida — where in Miami 20 percent of those tested are coming up positive — I’d tell my manager ‘toodaloo’ if my teammates start dropping flies, er, dropping like flies.)”

is pondering was exactly on point. Remember that Mets slugger Yoenis Cespedes abruptly opted out of the season due to coronavirus safety concerns? He didn’t even say “toodaloo.” The Marlins, meanwhile, had 18 of their 30 rostered players test positive for the virus since July 27, according to The Athletic. Since then, more than 30 games have been postponed around the league. It doesn’t look good for MLB. I hope that baseball can keep playing. The Giants surprised me by being not completely awful, and I try to bring up the name Yastrzemski as much as possible in conversation if for no other reason than it brings me joy. But is it worth it to play a stunted, modified, health-risk of a season at such an uncertain time? I truly don’t know. For now, I’ll enjoy the sights and sounds of baseball for a little longer. I hope you can too. Extra innings: The ridiculousness of getting to write about baseball is not lost on me, especially right now.

Uncover secrets in ‘The History of the Bowls’ BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor It’s a book whose secret is yet to get out. But for football fans, “The History of the Bowls” is a musthave addition to any library or coffee table. Published in the middle of last year’s celebration of the 150th year of college football, the 144page surprise package gives you not only the facts of these holiday celebrations, but brings you closer to the feel of what Game Days for seasons gone by must have felt like. Authored by longtime sports writer Malcolm Moran — with help from Football Bowl Association Executive Director Wright Waters and UC Davis girdiron radio colorman Doug Kelly — “History of the Bowls” starts its readers off with how the Granddaddy of Them All began, thanks to an idea from France. Pasadena — in 1886, a city of 4,480 people — wanted to do something to draw attention to California’s brilliant climate and ease of living. Borrowing from a rose festival in France, the flower gardens of the region were combined with a “tournament” of sports that included foot races and jousting. In such an obtuse manner, the Tournament of Roses was born. But it wasn’t until 1902, when Michigan came west and pummeled Stanford, 49-0, that the Rose Bowl game first took place. Then it wouldn’t be until the 1930s when a Louisiana newspaperman asked “why not us?” before the Sugar Bowl was born. That was followed by a slow growth in the number of bowl games (think Orange, Sun and Cotton). Today, there are more than 40. Kelly, who did public relations and media outreach for what is now the Redbox Bowl at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, talked about the book’s germination. “Wright had the concept, Malcolm was doing the writing and I’d help wherever I could,” Kelly recalls. “It was at a meeting at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose in January of 2019, right after our bowl game, that we put our plan in motion. “We drew up a schedule, decided on content ... how many chapters, etc.” As Kelly worked to enlist the cooperation of bowl committees and various college

UC Davis football radio color man Doug Kelly worked with Wright Waters and Malcolm Moran on “The History of the Bowls,” a 144-page book that looks at the history of college football bowl games. administrators, he also lent his extensive background in sports, which went all the way back to public relations work for the Kansas City Chiefs of the early 1970s. He also put a full-court press on getting archival photographs and securing pictures of old tickets, programs and press clippings. Readers who venture through “History of the Bowls” will find facsimilies of pre-World War I Rose Bowl programs, tickets Doug Kelly from a 1950s Cotton Bowl Bowl expert and clever postcards with plays and fast facts included. Drawn up on one of those postcards is the Boise State Statue of Liberty call that beat Oklahoma in the 2007 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl (yep, that’s right: featuring former Aggie QB and assistant Chris

Petersen at the Bronco helm). “A project like this is something that usually takes up to 15 to 18 months to produce,” Kelly told The Enterprise. “We didn’t have that kind of time.” With Waters, Moran and Kelly in constant contact, the ambitious project was assembled by last summer, printed in China and available by the middle of the 2019 sesquicentennial college football anniversary. Originally priced at $49.99 retail, the limitededition tome (Kelly thinks only 20,000 were printed) is for sale at $87.95 on Amazon. com and has gone for as much as $110 through eBay. “It’s a good one, that’s for sure,” Kelly continued. “Every single bowl is mentioned in the book. Not every game played, but every bowl ever on record.

“A project like this is something that usually takes up to 15 to 18 months to produce. We didn’t have that kind of time.”

“The pageantry (of bowl games) is amazing,” and Kelly promises that his, Wright’s and Moran’s work brilliantly reflects that in their book. “The Rose Bowl is going to have a heckuva a lot more history than the Independence Bowl, for instance. But that doesn’t mean you don’t want to give every bowl’s history its due, as best you can,” adds Kelly, who, besides being director of communications for Battlefields2Ballfields and managing general partner of Kelly & Associates, continues his duties as color man on UCD football broadcasts. This year, Kelly also began writing a weekly Davis Enterprise sports column. Kelly is proud of the community work provided by bowl game committees around the country. He says nonprofit organizations benefit wherever a bowl game is played, while a bright, positive light is shone on the hosting regions: “Also, there are rewards for players. They get to go someplace they’ve never been before, or may never get to go again.” Kelly said he loved working on the Bay Area holiday game, which debuted in 2002 as the Diamond Walnut San Francisco Bowl. “When I worked on that game, we went out of our way to make sure everybody had a good time,” reports Kelly. “If somebody needed something at 3 in the morning, you get it for them.” Kelly said that service paid dividends, helping to build the reputation of the game. Virginia Tech and Maryland played in that first game, with Hokies coach Frank Baumer, according to Kelly, spreading the news about how well-run the week’s festivities were: “He went out and talked it up (on the East Coast),” Kelly once told The Enterprise. “At that time, nobody had any idea where it would go.” Moran, who has written for the New York Times, USA Today and the Chicago Tribune, has provided one more surprise inside the very back cover: Three lists sit in a pouch, suggesting the top 25 bowl players of all time, the top 25 games and the top 25 coaches. After reading the book, “History of the Bowls” provides its owners with plenty of trivianight fodder; enough ammunition to influence any argument about the best ever; and certainly enough “oh I remember that” moments to keep you involved for hours. — Reach sports editor Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet41@ gmail.com or call him at 530-320-4456.
