Battle lines drawn in DISC ballot arguments

Still moving forward

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Is the Davis Innovation and Sustainability Campus “a place to advance discoveries that will improve lives around the globe while providing sustainable local jobs, affordable housing, economic stimulus and millions of dollars for the city?” Or is it “a massive, car-centric, sprawling business park that will forever change Davis for the worse?” Depends who you ask. But on Nov. 3, it will be Davis residents who decide the fate of what will be on the ballot as Measure B: a proposal that would bring 2.64 million square feet of business and innovation space as well as up to 850 residential units to the northeast corner of Mace Boulevard and Interstate 80. According to Davis City Attorney Inder Khalsa’s analysis, elements of Measure B that could not be significantly modified later without another vote include a maximum of 850 residential units, with at least 153 units designated as affordable, as well as other site uses that include office, laboratory, research and development, manufacturing, ancillary retail, hotel and conference center and parks, plazas and green spaces. Housing construction may not begin until 200,000 square feet of commercial development is constructed and then may proceed at a rate of one unit per 2,000 square feet of commercial space (though construction of affordable units may begin earlier). The development also would include about 49 acres of open space, greenbelts, courtyards and parks,

County reports 139 COVID cases in two days as state starts to clear backlog BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Yolo County has seen a spike in newly reported coronavirus cases as a backlog caused by issues with the state’s electronic data reporting system begins to clear. The county reported 75 new cases on Monday and 64 on Tuesday with high numbers expected to continue over the next couple of days. For quite a few weeks, the county had been averaging 30 to 35 new cases a day, but that dropped down to as little as 10 new cases at one point last week. Problems with the state’s electronic data reporting system have cast doubts on the reliability of recent numbers. The California Department of Public Health blamed technology issues with the state’s disease registry

Participants in Sunday’s ‘March: For our Mothers, For our Daughters, For our Sisters,’ a rally organized by Women in Leadership, Davis (WiLD), make their way through the South Davis greenbelt and over the Dave Pelz Bike Overcrossing. The group met at Playfields Park before marching to John Barovetto Park in East Davis. “During the organization of the For Our Fathers, For Our Sons, For Our Brothers march, WiLD said in a news release, “we recognized the power of the women in the committee and also the lack of women leaders in Davis who focus on supporting other women in leadership, especially Black women and women of color.”

Davis alumni headed to virtual Democratic convention BY CALEB HAMPTON

U.S. citizens living outside the country.

Enterprise staff writer When the Democratic National Convention meets next week, from Aug. 17-20, delegates from 57 U.S. states, territories and voting blocs will vote to elect the party’s presidential candidate to challenge Donald Trump in November. At least two of those delegates, Onélica Andrade and Diego Rivas, have connections to Davis. Andrade and Rivas were both selected as delegates for Democrats Abroad, the branch of the Democratic Party that represents the more than 6.5 million

positions after years of political engagement while living abroad. They both said Trump’s election in 2016 further motivated them to participate in the democratic process. “What engaged me was having Trump in the presidency and seeing the country at risk,” Andrade said.

While Americans living abroad vote in their state of previous resiANDRADE dence in the Belgium general election, the Democratic Primary categorizes overseas citizens as its own voting group, which will send 13 pledged delegates — including Andrade and Rivas — to the 2020 convention.

Andrade, a 2011 UC Davis graduate with a degree in international relations, is a pledged delegate for Joe Biden, who is expected to officially accept the party’s nomination at next week’s convention. Andrade has lived in Brussels since 2016, where she works on issues related to climate change

Andrade and Rivas both decided to run for delegate

for the European Commission. Having moved abroad the same year Trump was elected, Andrade said RIVAS she felt “worGermany ried about not being able to do much” and began looking for ways to work towards political change while living abroad. “I desperately started looking for ways to get involved and do something — even miles away from home,” Andrade said.

Cal Fire says target shooting caused June’s Quail Fire McNaughton Newspapers VACAVILLE — A wildfire that burned 2.87 square miles of brush, forced evacuations and destroyed a home in rural Vacaville was started by target shooting in the area. That’s the finding of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection’s investigation into the Quail Fire, which started June 6 and burned for four days before being contained. Cal Fire released its findings Monday. The Quail Fire forced area residents out of their homes and destroyed three structures — including one home. The vegetation fire started at 3:30 p.m. June 6 along Quail Canyon Road near Pleasants Valley Road, north of Vacaville and southwest of Winters. Evacuations occurred along Quail Canyon Road from Pleasants Valley Road to Highway

Briefly Suspicious man approaches kids Davis police received reports Friday about a suspicious man approaching children at Arroyo Park in West Davis. According to the Police Department’s online bulletin, the man told the children he was on the phone with their parents and had been instructed to pick them up. He was last seen in the park at about 5:30 p.m. Friday. Sgt. Dan Powell said officers searched the area but was unable to find the man, described as a bald white male adult in his late 30s, about six feet tall with a muscular build, wearing a gray shirt, cargo shorts and a black face mask. He may have had an accent, though the type was not specified. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Davis police at 530747-5400.

About us

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2020

This whole thing is just so unfair T W ACO TIME ... of all the many things that have been canceled due to this crazy and deadly pandemic, one of things I will miss the most is the Yolo County Fair ... True enough, it’s not a fair that has ever attracted more than a handful of my fellow Davisites, but it’s one of those small, oldfashioned family affairs that routinely hits a home run for five consecutive days in the middle of August ... and, without exception, admission has always been free ... Long ago the fair revolved around the mighty sugar beet, which once grew in abundance in this county ... the fair even featured a Sugar Beet Queen ... no more ... now Yolo County is all about nuts — almonds, walnuts, pistachios and the occasional politician ... and yes, a few billion red ripe tomatoes ... While reading Wendy Weitzel’s column the other day — who doesn’t read Wendy Weitzel’s column? — I learned that a number of Woodland restaurants are celebrating “Fair Days” with menus inspired by the Yolo County Fair ... yep, people will be serving corn dogs and turkey legs and chocolatecovered Oreos and chicken strips

August, tacos and all ...

and corn-on-the-cob and churros and tacos ... what a clever and wonderful idea ... But, as Weitzel asked, “Can the tacos compete with Holy Rosary Church’s tacos?” ... not likely ... the Holy Rosary tacos are legendary ... they’re so popular that Holy Rosary has been given its own special part of the fairgrounds, away from the other food vendors, complete with ample seating and long lines that stretch halfway to Knights Landing ... one year the parish’s volunteers served over 40,000 tacos during the fair’s fiveday run ... If I were one of those Woodland restaurants planning to serve “fair tacos,” I’d head over to Holy Rosary and beg for the recipe ... they are, very simply, the world’s best tacos ... if we’re lucky, the Yolo County Fair will be back next

Man leads police, CHP on vehicle pursuit BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer A Woodland man was arrested on evading and other charges Sunday night, the result of a vehicle pursuit that involved three lawenforcement agencies before it came to an end. The driver, identified as 35-year-old Jose Angel Amezcua, refused to pull over when a Woodland patrol officer attempted to stop him for a vehiclecode violation at Court and Fourth streets around 9:45 p.m., according to Sgt. Dallas Hyde. “The driver then made an illegal left turn onto East Street from Court Street,” Hyde said. “The vehicle then fled while being pursued by police for approximately 17 minutes through city streets

with speeds reaching 60 mph.” Yolo County sheriff ’s deputies assisted in the chase by placing a spike strip at Pioneer Avenue and East Gibson Road, which disabled three of the vehicle’s tires, Hyde said. But Amezcua allegedly drove on, continuing north on Highway 113 and east on Main Street to County Road 102, where California Highway Patrol officers stopped the car with pursuit intervention technique. Amezcua was arrested and booked into the Yolo County Jail on charges of felony evading, driving on a suspended license and drug possession, as well as a probation violation, Hyde said. No injuries were reported.

HAT IF THEY HELD AN ELECTION AND NO CANDIDATES CAME? ... I note The Enterprise headline that states “Nomination period extended for school offices,” which means would-be candidates have until 5 p.m. today to declare for a seat in DJUSD Trustee Area 2 or Trustee Area 5 ... There is also a contest for the two years remaining on Cindy Pickett’s seat after Pickett resigned to take a job in Chicago ... the Area 2 and Area 5 seats will be selected by district, while Pickett’s seat will be at-large since she was elected before DJUSD went to district elections ... when that headline ran several days ago, there was only one candidate in each of those three races ... Actually, it’s not a race if there’s only one candidate, unless someone mounts a write-in campaign for Donald Trump to give him something to do after Jan. 20 ... REMEMBERING RALPH RAGO ... what a wonderful piece by my colleague Bruce Gallaudet about former Davis High coach Ralph Rago, who at age 87 is

finally hanging up his spikes after an incredible lifetime of coaching ... What was missing in that story was that coach Rago, whose fame was clearly in baseball, was also Davis High School’s head tennis coach in the spring of 1964 when no one else was willing to take the job ... I had just taken up tennis and managed to earn a low spot on the team ladder after failing miserably at JV baseball ... On the first day of practice, Ralph Rago admitted he knew nothing about tennis and was pretty much there just to supervise us and make sure we laced up our Keds properly ... well, with the talented Tom Cooper playing No. 1 singles and Larry Speck, Elaine Beckstrom, Jim Hagan, Sue Volman and Kay Riddle contributing mightily, the Davis High tennis team went undefeated that season and Ralph Rago was named Coach of the Year ... He may not have known a lot about tennis, but he did know how to inspire a group of kids to be the best they could be, no matter the sport ... — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

Davis firefighters dislodged a car from the railroad tracks near Second and J streets late Saturday night after a motorist who was unfamiliar with the city (and may have been speeding, one witness told The Enterprise) inadvertently left the roadway and drove onto the tracks shortly after 11 p.m. No one was injured, and “the occupants were very grateful and were happy to be on their way,” Fire Department officials said in an Instagram post.

Bill aimed to protect journalism advances Special to The Enterprise SACRAMENTO — A bill co-authored by State Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, that would extend the deadline for newspapers to comply with the state’s new gig-worker law, protecting the industry from financial crisis while ensuring the future of journalism, cleared a key committee today. “In these uncertain times, ensuring newspapers can remain viable and continue reporting is vitally important to our democracy,” Dodd said. “They are our eyes and ears, and we cannot afford to lose them. This bill will prevent new costs that could be a knock-out blow for some struggling newspapers and keep jobs from going away.” Many newspapers are facing dire financial futures. Nationwide, advertising revenue has declined by more than half over the past seven years, dropping from $25 billion in 2012 to $11 billion in 2019. Economists predict an additional 25 percent decrease in 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic. The demise of newspapers will mean lost jobs and a reduction in news coverage — from reporting on local school boards to news in our nation’s capital. Assembly Bill 323 would extend the deadline for compliance with a new law, Assembly Bill 5, requiring gig workers

including newspaper carriers to be classified as fulltime employees. Doing so would add an estimated 85 percent to newspaper distribution costs, forcing layoffs and newspaper closures. AB 323 would give newspapers until Jan. 1, 2023 to comply. The bill would further help the industry by giving preference to local news organizations for state agency advertising and marketing contracts. AB 323 is authored by Assemblymember Blanca Rubio, D-Baldwin Park, and is co-authored by Sen. Dodd, Sen. Mike McGuire, D-Healdsburg, Sen. Holly Mitchell, D-Los Angeles, and Sen. Bob Hertzberg, D-Van Nuys. It passed the Senate labor committee with bipartisan support, and heads next to Senate appropriations before returning to the Assembly for concurrence.

COVID’s impact on travel discussed BY ANDY FELL Special to The Enterprise In this week’s “UC Davis LIVE: COVID-19,” an engineer and an environmental economist will talk about the profound impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on mobility and travel. Some people transitioned to work-from-home situations, while other essential workers had to continue showing up for work in person — and many people have lost their jobs entirely. In addition, the pandemic has affected people’s travel habits. But how do wealth and social class intersect with plans to travel, and what might be the long-term impacts of a large reduction in travel plans? Join the streaming video to hear how the

DNT TXT N DRIVE

research of these two UC Davis professors offers insight into these and other questions. Giovanni Circella is director of the 3 Revolutions Future Mobility Program and the Honda Distinguished Scholar for New Mobility Studies at the UC Davis Institute for Transportation Studies and a senior research engineer at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His team has surveyed travel habits in major cities across North America both before and during the pandemic. Michael Springborn is an

environmental economist and associate professor in the UCD department of environmental science and policy. Springborn and colleagues used anonymized mobile phone data to assess how people’s mobility changed during the pandemic.

VIRTUAL: Expats look to stay connected From Page A1 2017, she attended a Women’s March in Brussels, which was organized by Democrats Abroad. Then she started participating in more activities. This year, Andrade managed a primary voting center in Belgium, helping coordinate the live Global Presidential Primary, which took place virtually all around the world. Rivas, who graduated from Davis High School in 2009, is a Bernie Sanders delegate. A UC Santa Cruz alum, Rivas got his first experience living overseas when he spent a year studying abroad in Barcelona. After graduating, Rivas moved back to Europe and immersed himself in politics, interning at the Scottish Parliament in the lead up to Scotland’s referendum on independence. Rivas has lived in Europe since then. He completed a master’s program in Berlin, where he continues to live, working for a political think tank called The Progressive Center. In 2015, Rivas started a Berlin for Bernie group, a grassroots organization assembled to support the two-time presidential candidate’s progressive political platform. “After Trump’s victory, I wanted to stay involved,” Rivas said. With more than 22,000 U.S. citizens living in Berlin, and roughly 120,000 in Germany, Rivas said “there is a lot of opportunity.” During Trump’s first term as president, Rivas helped organize a number of marches and demonstrations in Berlin, protesting against Trump’s inauguration, his administration’s family separation policy at the U.S.-Mexico border, and international travel ban. “I was always really involved living here in

Berlin,” Rivas said. In 2017, he was elected chair of the Berlin chapter of Democrats Abroad. Rivas and Andrade were both selected as delegates out of pools of over 100 candidates in a multipleround process of ranked choice voting. “Being a delegate is a crucial part of our democratic process,” Rivas said. In addition to voting for the candidates they are pledged to, delegates also vote on two other issues. They will vote whether or not to adopt the Democratic Party platform and whether or not to approve resolutions to the rules that were made in 2016. “For me, it was a cool opportunity to be involved in this political process,” Rivas said. “Working with Democrats Abroad has been very inspirational.” Other delegates from this year’s Global Presidential Primary reside in South Korea, Rwanda, Costa Rica and elsewhere. Nearly 40,000 U.S. citizens voted in the 2020 Global Presidential Primary, a 15% rise from 2016. Voters in 180 countries cast ballots in the primary, which included the first-ever in-person voting centers in Argentina, Ecuador, Finland and Romania. Sanders received 58% of the vote while Biden received 23%. With delegates awarded proportionally based on primary results, Democrats Abroad will send nine Sanders delegates and four Biden delegates to the party’s convention, nearly as many as several of the smaller states in the U.S. While the convention will be based in Milwaukee, convention business, including delegate voting, will be conducted remotely due to the coronavirus pandemic.

FIRE: Careful when target-shooting From Page A1 added to the challenge of controlling the fire. The National Weather Service issued a fire danger warning that was in effect from 11 p.m. June 7 to 8 p.m. June 8 as firefighters from across the region worked to contain the fire’s spread. Among the Solano departments that sent firefighters and other resources were the Vacaville city and rural agencies, Fairfield, the Suisun City city and rural departments, Dixon, Cordelia, Montezuma and Vallejo, as well as Winters and Madison from Yolo County and strike teams from San Francisco, Contra Costa and Marin counties. Cal Fire offered several tips to help make target shooting safer during fire season: ■ Place targets on dirt or gravel and shoot in areas free of dry vegetation. Avoid shooting on hot, windy days. Bullet fragments can be extremely hot and can easily start a fire. ■ Use safe targets like paper targets or clay pigeons. Shooting at steel targets or rocks may throw sparks into nearby vegetation. ■ Ammunition type matters. Steel core and

solid copper ammunition have the highest potential to start fires. Lead core ammunition is less likely to ignite surrounding vegetation. ■ Keep a shovel, fire extinguisher and extra water handy — in case a fire does start. ■ Reports all fires immediately by calling 9-1-1. — By Daily Republic staff. Glen Faison and Todd R. Hansen contributed to this report.

Oh, the joy of utter exhaustion AB5 cleanup A must include translators BY JENNIFER SANTIAGOS Special to The Enterprise

remember the moment five years ago as if it were this morning. I was driving down the freeway to my interpreting assignment, and I thought about my dad who had died six months earlier. My heart swelled with gratitude. My dad, Paul Chipello, was a freelance professional piano player based in Northridge, and I sensed deeply that I was carrying on his legacy by using my skills as a certified health care interpreter to serve people with professionalism and kindness, just the way he did. Growing up, I saw both my parents model for me the value of being self-employed. My mother, Diana, is a swim instructor, operating her own small business since I was 2. She and my dad pursued careers they loved with the flexibility to be present as parents and not pay for childcare. Today my ability to carry on my family’s tradition of self-employment is severely threatened by AB5, the new California labor law. Sponsored by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego, AB5 sought to address the problem of worker misclassification by companies such as Uber and Lyft. But it also sweeps up hundreds of other professions into its widereaching net, including interpreters and translators who have a decades-old history of being independent contractors. Now Assembly Bill 2257, a cleanup bill for AB5, also introduced by Gonzalez, is in the state Senate. The author has made assertions about interpreters being misclassified that don’t stand up to fact-checking. The ultra-narrow exemption in this bill originally covered only “certified translators.” It still falls short, threatening to impose red tape on professional interpreters like me. That could make being an employee of someone else the only way we can do highly skilled work in California. Shortcomings in the bill can still jeopardize the livelihoods of thousands of professional interpreters. We are a highly skilled, highly flexible professional workforce whose expertise protects language service or millions of Californians with limited English proficiency, about 20% of our state, in everything from access to emergency medical care to voting. learned Spanish as a second language beginning in ninth grade, majored in it in college and served for three years as a missionary in Nicaragua. In 2012, I became nationally certified by the Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters, a signal of expertise for interpreting in health care settings. Over the years, my clientele grew to include 30 to 40 language service entities that contract with me for intermittent two- to three-hour assignments. As a freelancer, I set my own professional fees and cancellation policy. I decide which assignments to accept or decline. This allows me time to provide preventive self-care to manage bipolar disorder, which was diagnosed in college, and to care for my young family. I have contributed to a retirement account since I graduated from college and have always paid for private health insurance, which, thanks to the Affordable Care Act, cannot cut me off for a pre-existing condition. At least 75% of professional interpreters and translators are independent contractors. Not only is our profession built on this model, but also most language professionals greatly value the flexibility and variety this affords. I am not misclassified or mistreated. I am on good, professional terms with interpreting agencies with whom I do business. Imposition of employee status knocks the wind out of my dream and destroys what I have built. My ability to operate and serve others with talent and credentials developed at great cost over two decades now hangs in the balance. My family’s livelihood is at risk and our state’s immigrant communities’ access to language services, during the added perils and barriers of COVID-19, is endangered. The rest of the nation and even the world are watching. State senators must get this right. — Jennifer Santiagos is a grassroots advocate with the Coalition of Practicing Translators and Interpreters of California (CoPTIC).

day replete with aerobic exercise is a great day. Or said another way, a day when I don’t workout, when I don’t sweat, when I don’t get my heart rate up, when I don’t push myself physically and don’t burn off the calories I eat is never so sweet. Imagine how much healthier our country would be if everyone, every day, exercised intensely for at least 30 minutes and ate a decent diet. Whether you run, bike, swim, skate, board, dance, walk fast, hike up and down hills or play a sport like soccer, tennis or basketball, a good exercise is one you love to do repeatedly. For myself and I think most people, a great motivator is to workout with friends, not alone. It is with others I push myself to keep up, improve and occasionally get ahead. When my body hurts and when I am tired and laboring, I see the same fatigue all around me. When I am feeling great and enjoying natural beauty, it is a shared experience with friends alongside me. This is what I love most about my primary pastime, cycling — it is a social sport. Even better, it includes stopping for coffee. When I was a runner — in my 30s I ran marathons and often put in 15- to 20-mile training runs — I usually ran alone. I gave it up in my 40s when my knees gave out. Whether it is running, swimming or cycling, I have experienced the exhilaration of an endorphin release after a hard workout. On a bike, I often experience that euphoria after completing high intensity intervals. In less than an hour, I can exhaust myself riding hard, easy, hard, easy. And when I get home I feel that high. Yet I’m not motivated by endorphins. I am motivated by good health — both social and physical. Last Saturday, four friends and I did a grueling 56-mile

bike ride, largely on gravel levees and dirt roads near the Sacramento River and in the Bypass. When we made it to our destination in Davis for lunch — the lovely outdoor patio of Taquería Guadalajara in the El Macero Shopping Center — I was almost too exhausted to eat, but elated at the accomplishment. (I should note we follow Yolo County and California COVID-19 guidelines on group outings.) Of course, what the five of us did most adults — especially people over age 55 — couldn’t do. They couldn’t ride that hard for that long. Most couldn’t keep up with us for an hour, let alone five hours on jarringly rough roads — a part of which included a long hike through thick brambles and freshly disked dirt. But I am no superman. Even though I have competed in sports my whole life,

LETTERS County’s Mace solution Jim Provenza, Richard Reed and the Yolo County traffic engineers have developed a set of suggested designs for restoring Mace Boulevard. The county has forwarded these designs to the city of Davis. Here is a link to review the designs: https://cal.network/3izTIng. The county’s designs are well thought out and are a realistic start for correcting the Mace mess. County traffic engineers have done a good job of listening and addressing the problems south Davis residents have lived with for the last 19 months. The designs provide an innovative and potentially cost-effective approach to bicyclist/pedestrian safety and also demonstrate that there is sufficient roadway to restore two lanes in both directions, so that commute congestion can clear as safely and quickly as possible. Please review these designs and encourage the city to consider them and discuss them with the county and residents. It is early days for the county’s designs. Of course there are questions that will require resident input, negotiation, and compromise going forward, for example: ■ How will the concrete maze in front of San Marino be fixed? ■ If there is a wide, protected and clearly marked bicycle/pedestrian lane on the west side of Mace, are two-way bike lanes on both sides of Mace necessary? ■ San Marino residents must have a final voice in the light and sign types at their intersection. ■ Details regarding on-street parking, front door and driveway access, and ADA access on the west side of Mace need to be

I am not especially athletic or gifted as a cyclist. The same is true of most of the men and women I ride with. Being able to ride 100 miles on a bicycle is just a consequence of having ridden thousands of miles, a bit at a time. You put in the effort and the miles over and again, then you’ll be fine riding a long way at a hard pace. Improvement is not the consequence of good genes. Improvement is the consequence of hard work. Unfortunately, too many American adults choose not to work hard. They want to feel well, but don’t feel like doing what it takes to be healthy. They sit around, eat crap and wonder why doctors and pills cannot cure their ailments. he future looks just as dire for the coming generations. A few days ago, the American Heart Association published a study that finds that almost 60 percent of children in our country lack cardiovascular fitness — the body’s ability to supply oxygen to muscles during physical activity. “Children with healthy CRF (cardiovascular fitness) are more likely to live longer and be healthier as adults,”

Thanks for taking us there I am a fan of small town newspapers, local columnists and insights they bring to our daily lives. As a transplanted Virginian, I have lived in many places throughout the world and Davis is the last stop. I read Bob Dunning for his sharp wit, vast fields of knowledge and guts to tackle any subject or weigh in public figures regardless of backlash. I love the way he writes of his wife and children and the pride he has in them. That is alone worth the read and the example he sets for family men of all ages. In the past, I read Shelley for her recipes, local travel ideas and overall news of a close family. She and Bob represent normalcy and nostalgia for one who is the last member of a large family and living this last decade in a retirement community. In the Sunday, Aug. 2, Op-Ed “Spirit

according to the AHA. “Children with low or unhealthy CRF (are) at higher risk for developing premature heart disease, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure at younger ages, and they are at increased risk for premature death from heart disease and stroke as adults. Children with obesity are the most likely to have poor CRF.” Among children age 12-19, 20.6 percent are obese. Among adults age 20 and over 39.8 percent are obese. Counting those who are overweight or obese, the number rises to 71.6 percent of American adults! We are shockingly unfit. It’s heartening in the wake of COVID-19 to see far more people — mainly adults — riding bicycles for exercise. Hopefully, some of these novices will become habitual riders. But I am not optimistic that our culture — even in a bicycle-friendly community like Davis — has fundamentally changed. Most people still drive, even short distances, to get to work, to get to a supermarket, to go out for a meal or to visit a friend. For good reason, there is not a shopping center in Davis — or probably anywhere in the United States — which has more places to lock up a bike than park a car. I’ve heard plenty of people in America point the finger at corporations for the reason we are so fat, so out of shape. They think it is the garbage in processed food that has caused our waistlines to balloon. I don’t buy it. Eating junk and not exercising is a choice — a bad choice. If you want to live well and feel good, workout hard every day. Put down the pop and the pills. Run, ride, swim, repeat! — Rich Rifkin is a Davis resident; his column is published every other week.

and fury: The View from Portland,” I was completely blown away and stunned as I read of Shelley’s pilgrimage to her hometown to join the BLM and Wall of Moms. This gal has spunk beyond measure in her willingness to go the distance and share it with readers. She took us into the crowds of all ages, all cultures united in a spirit of making a difference. They sang, danced to drum beats in their masks, helmets and stood shoulder to shoulder as Moms who want wrongs righted. “Before anyone knew what was happening, the peaceful crowd was engulfed in tear gas and pandemonium ... As people ran for water and clear air, they regrouped ... and were sprayed again.” My heart skipped a beat as I read this because I knew the fear one has when marching, protesting injustices and wrongful wars. I hope this letter will encourage more to subscribe The Davis Enterprise and feel closer to Davis as their town and people who strive to make the town and world a better place. Bravo to Shelley Dunning and the Moms! Lena McNicholas Davis

Radiation and COVID It surprised me to read “Commentary: How tortoise rides led to hope” in the Aug. 2 Enterprise, with no mention of what I’m thinking was the initial supposition about such a possible life-saving treatment. Please see the online article from April 27: “Low dose chest radiation for COVID 19 patients” by the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University. But perhaps multiple institutions/people suggested such a treatment. Robert Ralston Davis

DISC: Future of 229-acre site at stake in next election From Page A1 including an agricultural buffer, and at least 1,800 trees planted onsite, Khalsa wrote. There would be a maximum of 4,772 commercial and 850 residential parking spaces. Developers will also provide construction or funding “to improve capacity, functionality and safety of Mace Boulevard; funding for a ‘traffic calming plan’ for identified local streets; and funding for a comprehensive Mace Boulevard Corridor Plan.” Additionally, developers will provide at least 2.75 miles of onsite bike lanes and walking paths and a grade-separated bicycle and pedestrian crossing of Mace Boulevard. The vote on Measure B in November will mark the sixth time Davis residents have exercised their right to vote on a land use development on the city’s periphery. Since Measure J was first enacted 20 years ago and renewed as Measure R 10 years later, three projects have been defeated at the polls (Covell Village in 2005; Wildhorse Ranch in 2009; and Nishi 1.0 in 2016) and two approved (Nishi 2.0 and the West Davis Active Adult Community, now known as Bretton Woods). Also on the Nov. 3 ballot will be Measure D, a renewal of that citizens right to vote. The Davis City Council voted unanimously earlier this summer to put both the Measure J/R renewal as well as the DISC project on the ballot. One member of the council —

Mayor Gloria Partida — is among five individuals who penned the ballot argument in support of DISC. Joining her in urging a Yes vote on Measure B are Helen Thomson, a former state Assembly member and county supervisor; Bob Poppenga, a trustee on the Davis Joint Unified School District Board; Gerald Braun, past chair of the Valley Clean Energy Community Advisory Committee and member of the city’s Utilities Commission; and Pam Marrone, founder of Marrone Bio Innovations. “We’re among the hundreds of residents and community leaders who have worked for over two decades to fulfill Davis’s vision of becoming home to a world-class, university-related research center,” the five proponents of Measure B wrote. “It will create a place to advance discoveries that will improve lives around the globe while providing sustainable local jobs, affordable housing, economic stimulus and millions of dollars of benefit to our city.” Voting Yes on Measure B will improve the local economy and Davis’ quality of life, the ballot argument in favor of DISC says, by, among other things: ■ Confronting the city’s housing crisis with new residential units, including the city’s single biggest investment ever in affordable housing. ■ Leading world progress on the environment with the first project of its kind in the nation to power all buildings with 100% clean energy while stimulating advancements in agriculture,

biotech, green-tech, and food science research. ■ Creating many local, green and good-paying jobs onsite and new employment opportunities throughout the community for people with diverse skills and passions. ■ Generating more than $1.3 million annually in new revenues for the Davis Joint Unified School District. ■ Adding a net $5 million annually to the city’s budget to support essential services and amenities like parks, greenbelts and sports facilities without raising taxes. “DISC is unanimously supported by our City Council,” the argument in favor states. “Vote Yes on B to create jobs of the future that will retain our highly educated workforce, make the local economy greener and more resilient, build on UC Davis’ reputation as a cutting-edge global research innovator, and add new parks and recreational sports fields that make Davis a special and interesting place to live.” Opponents of Measure B have a different take. “The Davis Innovation and Sustainability Campus is neither innovative nor sustainable,” says the ballot argument against the proposal. “It is a massive, carcentric, sprawling business park that will forever change Davis for the worse.” The argument against Measure B was signed by five individuals: Roberta Millstein, chair of the Davis Open Space and Habitat Commission; Nancy Price, former

Davis Planning Commission member; David Abramson, alternate member of the city’s Natural Resources Commission and former candidate for county supervisor; Juliette Beck, an environmental and social justice activist; and Alan Pryor, a member of the Davis Natural Resources Commission. They contend DISC would create “crushing gridlock traffic” by adding more than 24,000 daily car trips onto Mace Boulevard when completed. “But instead of guaranteeing specific reductions of this huge traffic burden on an already overly congested thoroughfare, the city is only requiring DISC to create a future Transportation Demand Management Program. But ‘figuring it all (out) later’ is not a plan,” opponents argue. “We already know how poorly the city managed the still unresolved ‘Mace Mess’ traffic fiasco on Mace Boulevard that backed up traffic for hours,” opponents of the project wrote. “That gridlock was due to the addition of only 400-plus cars per day. How can Mace Boulevard possibly handle another 24,000 cars per day without turning it into a parking lot?” All that traffic, the ballot argument against Measure B contends, will result in greenhouse gas emissions that “will destroy our city’s Climate Emergency Resolution mandating carbon neutrality by 2040. “The projected unmitigated emissions from DISC alone will increase the city’s annual emissions by 8 percent or over 83 million

pounds per year. Although the developer promises DISC will be carbon neutral, this can only be achieved by buying cheap offsite carbon credits that do nothing to reduce the city’s real carbon footprint. It is unfair to burden our children and grandchildren with this legacy of harmful greenhouse gases for the sake of developer profits.” The ballot argument against DISC also touches on the loss of prime farmland, habitat, and the city’s eastward view. “It’s bad enough this developer will gain lucrative commercial zoning entitlements to pave over 200 acres of farmland, destroying habitat for sensitive species like Burrowing Owls and our last remaining views of the Sierra Nevada mountains and Sacramento skyline,” opponents state. “The developer also proposes satisfying the city’s agricultural buffer requirement by encroaching on the Mace-25 open space purchased with taxpayer funds. “This is a breach of the public’s trust. Please vote No on Measure B,” opponents urge. Supporters and opponents of Measure B have until Aug. 17 to submit rebuttals to the ballot arguments released last week.

BACKLOG: Third Yolobus operator tests positive for coronavirus From Page A1 system known as CalREDIE leading to an under-reporting of as many as 300,000 cases statewide. Yolo County’s public health director Brian Vaughn previously told county supervisors he had little confidence in the case numbers reported in the last several weeks, saying the actual total was likely much worse than what was being reported. State officials announced Monday the problems with the system had been fixed but it will likely take several days for the backlog of cases to clear. “Though the state says the issues have been resolved, cases may not be completely up to date until the end of this week,” Yolo County public information officer Jenny Tan said Tuesday. There may be “drastic jumps in some of our data points… over the next few days,” Tan added. The county has now reported 285 new cases in just the last seven days, along with five new hospitalizations and three deaths. As of Tuesday morning, 19 Yolo County residents were hospitalized with COVID-19, including 11 in the county’s two hospitals and the remainder in hospitals outside the county. The latest death reported Tuesday involved a West Sacramento resident between the ages of 55 and 64. In Davis, young adults continue to make up the bulk of cases, with 53 percent of all COVID-19 patients here under the age of 34. Davis is also the only place in the county where the 18-24 age group has more coronavirus cases than any other age group. UC Davis, which keeps a separate list of all COVID19 cases among students and staff — whether they live in Yolo County or elsewhere — is now reporting a total of 42 cases among employees and 18 among students at the Davis campus. One new case reported by the county this week involves a Yolobus operator who was driving several routes — including in Davis — up until Aug. 4. “The operator was not

within six feet of our customers for more than 15 minutes and they wore a face covering, minimizing risk of transmission to customers and other operators,” Yolobus said in a statement.

LEGAL NOTICE

“As a reminder, if you feel ill — even slightly off — please remain at home and self-monitor closely for signs and symptoms of COVID19. Call your primary care doctor to discuss your concerns as appropriate.”

This is the third Yolobus operator to test positive for COVID-19 in the last month. Previous positive test results were announced on July 16 and July 23. The latest COVID case involves an operator whose

routes included 42A, an intercity loop that travels through Davis with stops along Mace, Covell and the Memorial Union on campus, on Aug. 3 and 4. A list of all of the driver’s routes can be found at

Is Nov. 10 doable for hoops?

Dear NCAA, recognize the athletes you serve

he National Collegiate Athletic Association is fond of talking about student-athletes, with a special emphasis on the word student. It would be nice if the NCAA would drop the “athlete” part of that phrase and call these football players and soccer stars and tennis aces simply “students.” And then, follow that up by treating them as any student on a college campus should be treated. Until then, we’ll have to keep reading stories that begin ... “The NCAA filed a petition that asks the U.S. Supreme Court to press pause on allowing college athletes to receive an expanded number of education-related benefits.” But of course. The NCAA wishes to deny benefits to their cherished “studentathletes,” benefits that would flow freely to students on campus who didn’t have the misfortune of being athletes. “In March 2019,” the ESPN story went on, “a federal judge ruled that the NCAA’s restrictions on what schools can provide to student-athletes violate antitrust laws.” The NCAA’s lawyers begged to differ, so much so that they wanted the nation’s highest court to validate their untenable position. “As part of that ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken ordered that schools should be allowed to provide an unlimited number of benefits to college athletes as long as those benefits are related to education.” You mean like free movie tickets as long as the movie being shown deals with American history or physics or mathematics or plant pathology? “The NCAA appealed that decision in circuit court and lost earlier this year.” The NCAA then asked the high court to at least “pause” the implementation of Wilken’s ruling. Yes, indeed, let’s drag those studentathletes we pretend to love all the way to the top to see if we can’t deny them as many educational benefits as possible.

his just in: on Tuesday the high court refused to “pause” the lower court’s ruling. The NCAA, however, hopes to have the Supreme Court hear the entire case, but the Court can decline. “This particular legal battle began in 2014 when former West Virginia running back Shawne Alston filed a lawsuit against the NCAA. Alston and his attorneys argued that NCAA rules that place any limit on compensation that schools could offer to athletes violated antitrust law,” continued ESPN. “Wilken’s decision will allow schools to spend an unlimited amount of money to provide their athletes with educationrelated items such as laptops, science equipment, instruments for music lessons and potentially some monetary rewards for good grades.” Monetary rewards for good grades? Does my 2.37 grade point average at UC Davis back when it was the University Farm qualify me retroactively for some cold, hard cash? If I throw a game-winning touchdown pass, will I be rewarded with an educational benefit like a new Corvette and a parking pass so I can get to class on time from my off-campus apartment? “I think they’re trying to put off the inevitable,” said lead plaintiffs’ attorney Jeffrey Kessler. “They keep losing and they keep trying to prevent athletes from getting these benefits. Sooner or later the athletes will get these benefits and the world will move forward. They need to accept that reality.” NCAA member schools will now be allowed to immediately start offering unlimited educational benefits to their athletes. I think I like this new policy. In fact, given that I still had one year of athletic eligibility remaining when I graduated from UC Davis a number of years ago, I plan to re-enroll next spring and once again designate myself as a “studentathlete.” I’ll let them know I prefer direct deposit over a check in the mail. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@ davisenterprise.net.

Les talks about current state of men’s squad ■ Editor’s note: This is first of a two-part interview with UC Davis men’s basketball coach Jim Les. Today: The impact of the pandemic and renewed emphasis on social equality. In Friday’s Enterprise: A look at the 2020-21 Aggie personnel.

BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor With fall sports at UC Davis relegated to “spring” starts, many Aggie eyes have turned to basketball. The NCAA says that Nov. 10 is go-time for games — and that basketball players throughout the nation could be working out now. But state, local and campus protocols have applied the brakes on practice as usual. Once student-athletes are back on campus, they are placed in quarantine and regular workout dates are hazy at best, says UCD men’s basketball coach Jim Les. The pandemic strikes again. “Back in March, I didn’t think we’d still be dealing with it in August, but here we are,” added Les, who is entering his 10th season with the Aggies. “We haven’t done anything with our guys. Usually, for the summer session of school, all the guys are here and we’re back in the weight room and back in the gym.” Summer classes began Aug. 2 at UCD. Les said he and his staff allowed the players to decide where they wanted to hole up this month. “We said, ‘If you’re going to be better served to be here — academically and health-wise be in a better position — then come back. “ ‘If not, and you feel like you’re in a safe situation at home and can get your schoolwork done (online), then you should stay home.’ ” Les said, “That’s where we’re at” with the preparation for the basketball season. In essence, in limbo. Two freshman international players — Italy’s Francesco Borra (JSerra High) and Estonia guard Ron Pehka — have joined a handful of Aggie teammates in town. “They’ve been going to class remotely and have been hanging out in their dorms or apartments in quarantine so we can keep our campus and our team as safe and healthy as possible,” Les explained.

The UC Davis basketball teams are used to playing in front of the loud and rowdy Aggie Pack in the friendly confines of The Pavilion. The UCD student body packed the arena for an ESPN broadcast. When play resumes in November, the Aggies may be playing in an empty building. WAYNE TILCOCK/ ENTERPRISE FILE PHOTO

Asked when his players would be able to gather and practice as a team, the former NBA sharpshooter said he didn’t know. Les also said he couldn’t weigh in on the certainty of a season starting on time. Regardless of when Aggie basketball gets underway — fall or spring — Les believes it’s a pretty good bet that the games will be played at venues without patrons: “I feel bad for our fans ... and the friends of our program, who have been awesome. I love (the crowds) at The Pavilion, that support they give us. So that’s going to be somewhat disheartening under those parameters, if without fans is how we have to play.” But Les also knows that “if we can find a way to play safely and compete under protocols that give us the opportunity to play games and be safe, the guys are going to welcome that. Even if it’s an awful quiet Pavilion, the guys will welcome that scenario versus not playing.” After closed scrimmages against San Jose State and Santa Clara, UCD is scheduled to open the 2020-21 season at

home with Holy Names on Nov. 10. Also on the nonconference slate are a home game with Portland, visits to Oregon State, New Mexico and Stanford and a berth in a Thanksgiving tournament at Tulane. But the OSU and Stanford games seemingly were scratched today when the Pac-12 voted to send fall sports and basketball to 2021. One silver lining in the interruption of collegiate sports, says Les, is the opportunity to reflect on and discuss social injustice, inclusion and equality. It’s not that Les and other members of the UC Davis athletic department haven’t been sensitive to social issues in the past. (The school has a diversity, inclusion and equity policy in place to which coaches and players subscribe.) But in recent months, Les and company have committed to the National Basketball Association of Coaches’ “Coaches for Change” pledge. Under those new guidelines, Les pointed out, schools promise not to play games or hold practices on Election Day (Nov. 3) and to continue to engage in dialogue regarding racial and

social issues. “Those are things we’re going to be focusing on when all the guys get back to campus,” promises Les, who has been involved in department conversations about racial injustice and has conducted “a number of Zoom meetings dedicated to our guys being able to express themselves ... talk about some of their experiences and to talk about some of the ways we want to, as a team, be a part of the vehicle for change.” Les added: “It’s been a time to reflect, but it’s also been a really good time — because we all get so busy — to stop and communicate. For me, it has been a great time to listen to my players. “Now, how can we as a group (get) better being a part of the change we want to see in our society?” Given that discussion, mixed in with paralysis of the pandemic, basketball seems worlds away. — Reach sports editor Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet41@ gmail.com or call 530-3204456.

The cost of swimming in Davis Y ou could learn a lot of economics by observing how Davis swimming pools are handling the shortage of swimming spots in the pandemic. The socialist model can be seen at Civic Center Pool, where Davis Aquatic Masters are headquartered. The commissars there, Mary and Stu Kahn, tell you when, where and how long you can swim. There was just a little glimpse of democratic socialism at the beginning when they asked your preferences. At Davis Swim and Fitness and Get Fit Davis it’s firstcome, first-serve. Supply does not meet the demand. Swimming slots are allocated by computer, which lets you know when one is available. You have to constantly check your email to see if one has opened up. The spot goes to the quick and well-connected. No one has yet tried the Wall Street capitalist model where the slots go to the highest bidder. Only the rich could then swim.

As ordered by the state, Davis Swim and Fitness and Get Fit Davis have shut down their indoor gyms, but the swimming pools (if you can snag a spot) and outdoor gym activities continue. ■ Kudos: In only its second year since inception, DAM has been selected as the 2020 recipient of the U.S. Masters Long Distance National Championship Award for overall excellence and significant contributions to the success and promotion of these events. They include five ePostals and six open-water events. Board member and substitute coach, Jenny Mohn, nominated DAM for the award. Some of our club accomplishments include hosting the 2013 USMS one-hour

ePostal National Championship; 2015 USMS 3,000/ 6,000-yard ePostal National Championships; 2014 USMS Open-Water Sprint Distance National Championships (1 mile); 2019 USMS OpenWater Middle Distance National Championships (2 mile). The club was also involved in attracting a record number of 340 participantsin 2010 one-hour ePostal National Championship and Creation in 2010 of DAM ePostal Brute Squad. (Discover more about ePostals at usms.org/events/ epostal-national-champion ships.) ■ Finding Woodland: My colleague Owen Yancher told me he finds the city of Woodland community swimming pool occupied by more Davis swimmers than residents of Woodland. This is no surprise since it is easier to get a lapswimming spot there than any other place in the area. After complaints, the city had to reserve 10 a.m. for Woodland residents. I have swum there twice.

Despite the drive, it’s a bargain at $40 a month. They are lax about signing up and not showing up. It’s worth going for a look, even when the website says nothing is available. It’s a huge Olympic-size pool and there are usually lanes open. ■ At Davis Swim and Fitness you can put your name on a waiting list at dsf.get omnify.com and you will be sent you an email when a lane opens up. However, often by the time you log out, nothing has opened up. Busy, busy. ■ Davis Aquatics Masters has notified members they will be expanding their current regimen (30-minute swims twice a week) when they hear from members about their preferences. ■ On a personal note, your reporter turns 85 years old this month and is moving up to a new age group in competition, leaving key rivals behind in a lower-age group. What we need now is competition. — Mark Braly’s column is published on the second Wednesday of each month in The Enterprise. Reach him at markbraly@sbcglobal.net.

Check your mail for free landfill voucher ENVIRONMENTAL

BY JENNIFER GILBERT Special to The Enterprise

n April of this year, the annual Bulky Items DropOff event was postponed due to the shelter-in-place order from the county. Since it is unknown when Recology will be able to provide another drop-off event due to the pandemic, the city and Recology are offering a Bulky Waste One-time Voucher Program for city of Davis customers to dispose of bulky items. The voucher should have arrived in the mail at the beginning of the month, so be sure to hold onto it. The voucher is your ticket for the program, so bring it with you when you go to the landfill. The one-time voucher will be valid until Nov. 30, and will allow Davis residents to dispose of one free load of bulky waste at the Yolo County Central Landfill. The load can be up to a full-sized pick-up truck bed, full-sized van, or small trailer (less than 3 feet

UPDATE high and less than 8 feet long). Disposal of additional items must be paid for by the customer. See the voucher for details on material acceptance. This voucher is valid only for Davis residents; commercial haulers and business materials will not be accepted. Only one voucher will be accepted per household and proof of residency within the city will be required (ID, utility bill, etc.). For more information on the voucher, contact Recology at 530-756-4646 or Recology Davis@Recology.com. If you are moving soon, here are some tips to limit the amount of waste you generate. ■ Use your bulky landfill voucher to bring unwanted items to the landfill. ■ Please be respectful and do not put your unwanted items into your neighbors’ trash can or

dumpster without asking. Leaving trash, mattresses and furniture in and around others’ trash cans and dumpsters can be expensive for them to clean up and haul away (and can prevent their trash from getting collected). ■ Help keep our city beautiful and please do not leave unwanted furniture and household items on the street, sidewalk or in your front yard, which is a violation of city code and may be a safety hazard for bicycles and pedestrians. ■ Take a closer look at what you’re wanting to throw away. Much of what you’re tossing out may be recyclable or compostable. If your recycling cart is full, you can drop off recyclables for free 24/7 at the Recology Davis Recycling Center at 2727 Second St. ■ Mattresses and box springs can be recycled for free at Recology Davis from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays.

The Yolo County landfill also accepts mattresses and box springs for free recycling. ■ Got cardboard? Remove packing materials and then flatten and stack cardboard on the ground next to your recycling cart on pick-up day, and Recology will pick them up for recycling. You can also take your cardboard to the Recology Davis recycling center at 2727 Second St. ■ You can donate items to local thrift stores; however, due to COVID-19, many local thrift stores are limiting donations, so please call ahead to verify location hours and material acceptance policies. You can also reuse your items by posting them online. As always, use caution when selling items online and when considering the reuse of items from a different household, since objects can carry viruses, bacteria or introduce pests into your home. This caution is particularly important at this time to avoid the spread of

COVID-19. Please check the Center for Disease Control website for recommendations on safely disinfecting household items. Some items are illegal to throw in the trash and must be carefully managed. ■ Computer monitors, TVs and laptops contain toxic materials. Recycle these and other electronics for free at the Yolo County landfill. ■ Batteries, fluorescent bulbs and tubes, household cleaners and other toxic products can be brought to the Yolo landfill for free and safe disposal 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. ■ Refrigerators should be taken to the landfill for recycling (fees apply).

Enjoy hiking in Berryessa Snow Mountain area BY BOB SCHNEIDER AND BILL GRABERT Special to The Enterprise

his area gets hot in the summer. Every year, in the extreme heat of summer, there are rescues of hikers in our region. Heat and dehydration can be life-threatening, but rescues, which put our emergency personnel at risk and keep emergency resources occupied, can be avoided with just a little planning and common sense. Hiking in the midst of summer is possible, although COVID-19 makes it even more complicated. Below are some recommendations on how to hike safely. Check the weather. Don’t hike on high temperature days. Take lots of water. Know your route. Be prepared to turn around when temperatures increase and water runs low. Remember to physical distance from other hikers Get out early. If you can be on the trail at sunrise, all the better. Take lots of water because you will be sweating it out. Perspiration is essential to keeping your body temperature regulated. In this area, very few of the trails have

TULEYOME TALES water nearby. Some nowater trails, like the difficult 14.5-mile Berryessa Peak trail, should simply not be attempted on a hot summer day unless you plan to carry a couple of gallons of water with you. Getting out on the trail extra early has the added benefit of avoiding most other people who start on the trail at 9 a.m. or so. On the hottest days, plan to be finished with your hike and off the trail by 11 a.m. There are two main ways to keep cool while you’re out on a hike: shade and evaporation. You can get shade from a tree, but you can also get it from a hat. Wear a hat! A lot of the trails around here are lacking in trees, but you will always have shade if you wear a nice broad hat. You don’t see it here very often, but an umbrella can also be helpful. The best evaporative cooling is natural perspiration and a little breeze. However, a nice trick on an extra hot day is to carry a mister spray bottle for extra cooling from time to time. Hopefully, COVID precautions are second nature to us all now, but please don’t forget them when

you are hiking. Have your mask ready if you cannot maintain a good physical distance. The guidelines say 6 feet, but many places on the trail it’s not hard to find a place to step aside and make it 10 feet or more if someone needs to pass. Don’t talk while passing and look outward at the view. One way to learn about hiking and the hikes in our region is to first go with others. Tuleyome, the Sierra Club, and many “Meet Up” groups may offer physically distanced hikes. Check them out. You will learn to enjoy the outdoors safely and you will meet fellow hikers. Sometimes accidents do happen. We are truly fortunate to have dedicated public-safety men and women who take time away from their families and incur personal risks to aid those in need. But let’s be sure that we take personal responsibility to avoid unnecessary rescues and do our best to let them enjoy their time at home. — Tuleyome is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that engages in advocacy and active stewardship with diverse communities to conserve, enhance, restore and enjoy the lands in the region.
