Jailhouse letter slams brakes on murder proceedings BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer WOODLAND — A potentially exculpatory letter has derailed next week’s scheduled trial for the two remaining suspects in the disappearances and presumed deaths of two Yolo County teens. Now, a Yolo Superior Court judge must determine whether
the letter’s for real. One victim’s mother, meanwhile, says she has her doubts. Chandale Shannon Jr., 23, and Jesus Campos, 20, stand accused of helping to carry out the alleged abductions and murders of Enrique Rios, 16, and Elijah Moore, 17, friends and classmates who both
vanished in the fall of 2016. Another man, David Froste, reportedly ordered the killings after Moore robbed him of $300 worth of marijuana on the night of Oct. 17, 2016, while in Campos’ and Shannon’s presence. Authorities say the trio then picked up Rios from his Esparto home and that Froste fatally shot him when
he refused to lure Moore back to the men. Moore disappeared several weeks later after cashing a work check in downtown Woodland and, like Rios, was said to be slain in rural Knights Landing. Neither teen’s body has ever been found.
sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. His brother Jonathan Froste, who took part in Moore’s slaying, cut a plea deal in which he admitted to a lesser count of second-degree murder in exchange for his testimony implicating the others.
David Froste was convicted of both murders in 2018 and

Yolo likely to stay purple for weeks BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Yolo County will likely remain in the state’s “purple” Tier 1, indicative of widespread COVID-19 infection, for a minimum of five weeks, the county’s interim health officer told the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday. “We don’t have any indication that we’re ready to move into the next tier,” said Dr. Larissa May, who noted the county’s daily new case rate of 7.3 per 100,000 residents exceeds the metric of seven or less required to move into the red Tier 2. Indeed, in just the last three days, the county reported 104 new cases of the coronavirus and has averaged over 26 new cases per day for the last week. Under the state’s new guidance, counties must remain in a tier for three weeks before moving to a lower tier but must also meet the criteria of the lower tier for two weeks. Yolo County is currently meeting the other metric for moving into the red tier — a test positivity rate below 8 percent. Moving into Tier 2
would allow a number of businesses in Yolo County to reopen indoor activities and services, including gyms, libraries, nail salons, movie theaters and places of worship, albeit with restrictions on the number of people allowed in at a time. Restaurants could also resume indoor dining with a maximum capacity of 25 percent or 100 people, whichever is fewer. Once the county is out of Tier 1 for two weeks, schools would be eligible to reopen for in-person classroom instruction, but that, in turn, could limit the county’s ability to move into Tier 3 where additional activities are allowed. “We don’t know what’s going to happen with the reopening of schools,” May told county supervisors. “I just saw that the American Academy of Pediatrics has been keeping tabs over the summer as children have been getting back together and now the rate nationwide of cases in children and adolescents is actually rising more than in the general public, so there’s a lot

Guenther seeks District 3 City Council position BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Davis in the summer of 2020 has a very different feel from the Davis of Fall 2017, the last time Larry Guenther declared his candidacy for City Council. Some of the key issues he saw facing the city back then remain: an enduring budget deficit, a lack of affordable homes for families and the need to address the climate crisis. But now those issues are compounded by the new crisis of COVID-19, as well as community frustration over policing and public safety.
VOL. 123 NO. 106
In declaring his candidacy for District 3 — where he faces incumbent Lucas Frerichs — Guenther noted “the world seems turned upside-down right now.” And that, he said, “is precisely when we need to stop doing the status quo. “We really need to stop doing business as usual because business as usual, by definition, got us where we are.” That business as usual, Guenther said, includes a decision-making process used by the current council that fails to leverage the expertise and knowledge in the community. The result, he said, is a

Briefly Parking-lot book sales to resume Weekly book sales are set to resume Friday, Sept. 4, in front of the Friends Room in the parking lot of Stephens Branch Library, 315 E. 14th St. The first “weekly sale” was held on Aug. 14. Although quite successful, sales since were canceled due to the fires and poor air quality. Sales are scheduled for each Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in September and are expected to continue until the library has reopened for groups. The Friends volunteers have spent more than a month planning for the safest possible presentation and sale of the best books donated since the group’s last large sale at the library. Each weekly sale features a rotation of subjects, displayed on six physically distanced tables that will be restocked throughout the day. The Sept. 4 sale will include history, children, teen, cooking and fiction. The complete schedule can be found at davislibrary friends.org. “Pocket books” are $1, while most other books are $2. Every sale will include CDs and DVDs for $1 and specially priced “better books” (all subjects). Jigsaw puzzles and board games also are sometimes available. All forms of payment are accepted.

The sights that you’ll see on the road
F
or me, one of the great joys in life is jumping in the car with my family and taking a road trip to just about anywhere on a moment’s notice. It’s something I learned from my dad, who was also fond of spur-of-the-moment excursions that might result in an ice cream cone in Yuba City or an overnight stay in Weed in the shadow of magical Mount Shasta. All I know is that if dad said he was getting in the car and asked if I wanted to come along, I’d always say “yes,” for an adventure of some sort was certain to follow. When we were kids, there was always some sort of cash reward for paying attention to our surroundings. Like a nickel for the first one to see a pheasant. A dime for the first one to spot Mt. Hood. A quarter if you could name the mighty river we were driving along that separated Oregon from Washington. Signs along the highway were also important if you were playing the letter game. Maybe you were looking for an “L,” as in “Landslide Area” or “Yreka City Limits.” A “Z” was much more difficult to find, but if you were diligent enough, sooner or later you’d come upon a “Construction

F Zone” while everyone in the car — except you and the driver — was fast asleep. The one sign that always struck fear into my heart was one you’d encounter on a remote stretch of the Nevada desert that said simply “No Services Next 56 Miles.” To me that meant “No Cheetos Next 56 Miles.” I remember one time after I had become the dad who was doing the driving, I was on U.S. 395 with my two young children on a dark and lonely September night between Lakeview and Burns in eastern Oregon. I went a full 39 miles without encountering another car coming from the other direction. I’m not good at math, but presumably that means if we were both traveling at the same rate of speed from opposite points on the map, there was at one point a 78-mile stretch of highway without a single car on it. The last time I went through the Nevada desert, just a couple of years
our or five years ago outside the town of Cave Junction in Southern Oregon my sweetheart and I and our four young kids came across a farm stand that was offering fruit, tomatoes and “cron” for sale. It was the large sign advertising “cron” that made us stop. After we spent 40 dollars buying all sorts of fruits and vegetables, but no cron, I realized who the dummy was in this transaction, and it wasn’t the farmer who intentionally misspelled “cron” to draw us in. There are lots of highway sends telling you to “watch” for something, like “Watch for Falling Rocks” or “Elk Crossing” or “Wildlife Viewing Area” or “Tsunami Escape Route.” Sometimes you are just being reminded that there is “No Driving on Beach at High Tide.” My all-time favorite, though, is the “Free Beer Tomorrow” sign outside a tavern on the outskirts of Brookings on the southern Oregon coast. That one brings a smile to my face every time I see it. The other day, while out for yet another family ride,

Looks like they’re just standing there. we came across a sign on a two-lane highway in Northern California that made me wonder if this was the day I would finally see my Maker. With stands of massive eucalyptus on both sides of the road, the sign said “Falling Trees.” (See photo). Not “Watch for Falling Trees,” but simply “Falling Trees.” As if the trees were in the act of falling at that very moment and there
was nothing anyone could do about it. Not Caltrans. Not Paul Bunyan. Not even Johnny Appleseed. In the spirit of the road games from my childhood, I’ll give a $10 gift card to the first person who can identify exactly where this was. But be careful as you look, for falling trees play no favorites. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenter prise.net.
Judge: UC must Driver injured in crash stop using SAT, ACT BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer The University of California must suspend its use of the SAT and ACT in making admissions decisions effective immediately, an Alameda County Superior Court judge ruled Monday. The judge issued a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit which asserted the use of standardized test scores disadvantages disabled students seeking to take the tests during the coronavirus pandemic. The plaintiffs in the suit sufficiently showed that students with disabilities now have next to no access to test-taking sites or accommodations that are required by law, Superior Court Judge Brad Seligman said in his ruling. “The barriers faced by students with disabilities have been greatly exacerbated by the COVID-19 epidemic, which has disrupted test-taking locations, closed schools and limited access to school counselors,” Seligman wrote. The preliminary injunction, which puts an immediate stop to the use of the SAT and ACT,
applies to all California applicants to the UC system. “The SAT and ACT are dead and gone as far as the UC system is concerned,” Mark Rosenbaum, a Los Angeles attorney who helped file the lawsuit as director of Public Counsel’s Opportunity Under Law project told The Los Angeles Times. The “historic decision puts an end to racist tests that deprived countless California students of color, students with disabilities, and students from low-income families of a fair shot at admissions to the UC system.” In May, the UC Board of Regents voted unanimously to phase out the SAT and ACT over the next five years. The decision was made after the regents concluded the standardized tests perpetuated biases based on race and income. The regents voted to make the tests optional for the next two years before eliminating them completely. — Reach Caleb Hampton at champton@ davisenterprise.net.

GUENTHER: Looking to create deep dialogue SCIENCE: ‘We have our From Page A1 we need to change,” Guenther said. “Innovation in this community has almost always come from the community, not from the city, not from the top down.”
Brain power And for Guenther, that means taking advantage of the resource the city has in its commissions. “We spend a lot of money on consultants. We hire consultants and their résumés often don’t look as good as the people on the commissions related to that topic,” he said. The result can end up looking like the Mace mess, he said. “We have worldrecognized experts on our commissions and they’re on those commissions because they want to help, they want to make the community better. “Leveraging the commissions and resources of our community is an absolute priority for me,” said Guenther. “And nowhere is that more true than our financial situation and public safety. Those two systems need a lot of improvement.” The economic fallout from COVID-19 will last a long time, he said, and Davis businesses are struggling. However, he said, “the city has not reached out to our Finance and Budget Commission or our Utilities Commission or other commissions to get recommendations on how to weather this storm and be more resilient going forward. “These are people whose expertise is literally
national or world class,” he said. Guenther himself currently chairs the city’s Tree Commission and previously served on the Downtown Plan Advisory Committee. He was one of more than a dozen current city commissioners who signed a letter earlier this summer seeking changes to the city’s decision-making process, including how commissions are utilized. That letter also focused on the role of city staff when it comes to development projects. Commissioners objected to what they said is staff ’s tendency to advocate on behalf of applicants. “Council members say it’s (staff ’s) job,” said Guenther. “I see their job as advocating for their city and their community and, if nothing else, they should just be presenting the facts and the issues required for decision making … but it seems very much slanted in favor of applicants. “I think there needs to be a lot stronger leadership from council on staff.” As a council member, Guenther said, he would want staff to “just lay out the facts, lay out the data, the issues and what effect they would have. “A decision is a costbenefit analysis, a riskassessment analysis, and unless you have all the facts, the good, the bad and the ugly, you can’t make an informed decision and I think there is room for improvement there.”
Public safety Another issue Guenther has been vocal on is public safety.
He said he disagreed with the council’s decision earlier this summer not to make changes to the police department budget, including by shifting funding toward increased social and mental health services to handle calls that come in about people in crisis. Instead the council tasked several commissions with coming up with recommendations for moving forward. “Armed sworn officers are not the right tool for that job,” said Guenther. “It needs to be separated from policing and everyone agrees on that, including police. I’ve talked to police officers on ride alongs and they’re frustrated … They’re like, ‘I don’t have the tools to deal with this. I want to, but I can’t.’” But there is another aspect to the public-safety concern, Guenther said, that gets less attention, and that’s the racial and identity bias that permeates the whole culture. “That’s what the national outcry is about,” he said, referencing the outpouring that followed the death of George Floyd. “The unconscious bias, the bias in our culture, it’s huge,” he said. “It’s cradle to grave. I believe it is amplified in police departments because of the way we recruit, because of the way we train, because of the danger in police work. It becomes this kind of ‘us against them,’ and this militarized police system. It’s in the verbiage: There are police and there are civilians. So it’s cultural, but it’s amplified in our police departments.”
OBITUARIES Donald Leroy Hanson died peacefully at his home in Sonoma on Aug. 23, 2020, at the age of 98. Born Jan. 20, 1922, in Davis to Delmar and Pearl Hanson, Don was a lifelong resident of Davis. He proudly served his country in the Army in the South Pacific during World War II. Don graduated from Davis High before he met and married his wife, Norma Tincher. They had three sons, Alan, Phillip and David. They raised their goddaughter Elaine Morehouse as well. Don was a well-known community member in Davis and owned the Shell Gas Station in town for many years, at the corner of First and B streets, which is now the site of The Aggie Inn. In later years, he worked for UC Davis, driving the “Berkeley Bus” until he retired. He was an active member of the Masonic Temple and also Veterans of Foreign Wars. Don was also a very talented carpenter who loved the mountains, fishing, hunting and spent many years in the cabin that he built in the Trinity Alps. Riding through
the mountains in his beloved Jeep brought him much happiness. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to others. He will be fondly remembered as Pop, Poppy and Uncle Donnie. Survivors include his son, Alan Hanson of Sonoma; granddaughter Dr. Jennifer Sewing of St. Louis, Mo.; and great-grandchildren Christopher and Katherine Sewing, also of St. Louis. In addition to this, he leaves behind many nieces and nephews as well as a very large extended family. Preceding him in death were his wife, Norma Tincher Hanson; sons Phillip Donald Hanson and David Wayne Hanson; and goddaughter Elaine Morehouse. He was the last remaining sibling of a large family. His siblings were Francis, Lester, Howard, Wilbur, Delmar, Delma, Rose, Carol and Ruby. He will be interred with his wife Norma at the Veteran’s cemetery in Dixon. Many of us are convinced that he is now enjoying highballs (his favorite drink) in Heaven with his beloved wife Norma.
Joe Hall
Nov. 11, 1938 — Aug. 27, 2020 Joe Hall passed away peacefully on Aug. 27 with his beloved wife Susan by his side. He valiantly battled bladder cancer, and ultimately succumbed to health complications that arose as a result of treatments. Joe was born on Nov. 11, 1938, in Parma, Idaho, to Sarah and George Hall, who preceded him in death. He had three brothers who predeceased him, Ray, Grant and Wally. He leaves behind his sister, Cheryl (Mark) Johnson, who will miss him dearly. Joe spent several years at the University of Oregon at the behest of a high school teacher who agreed to pay Joe’s tuition, knowing his family did not have the means. Throughout his life, Joe remained a loyal Ducks fan. After moving to the Sacramento area, he ultimately graduated from Sacramento State University. In 1961, he married Nancy Weaver and they had three children, Joe Hall, Dave Hall and Marjorie (Michael) Terry. Joe was always there to lend an ear and give sound advice, and he loved taking his kids to San Francisco on Black Friday to Christmas shop. He was known as Sawpa to his grandsons Matthew, Shawn, Dillon and Parker, and his great-grandchildren Addison and Jackson. Joe served his country for eight years in the Marine reserves. He had a successful career working in the farm equipment business and he retired from Weaver Tractor in 1976. He then stayed home with his children and prepared to become a certified public accountant. Joe had a private CPA
practice in Davis for several years and then moved his practice to Napa and Dixon. In 1989, he married Susan Wilkinson Vandermer. Together they made many happy memories traveling, RVing, playing golf and spending time with many dear friends. Joe was an amazing step-father to Susan’s three daughters, Elizabeth Lacey, Katie Geminder and Jenny (Richard) Bennett. His granddaughters Olivia, Lily, Lucy, Lena, Amelia and Audra cherished their Joe-Joe. Joe enjoyed barbecuing, woodworking, competing in chili cook-offs and walking his faithful companion, his poodle Blue. His kindness, easy smile, quick wit, calm nature and ability to carve a turkey will be missed by all who loved him. Joe was very proud of his decision to donate his body to the UC Davis Medical School. His hope was that this gesture would help to further medical science. In accordance with his wishes, there will not be a service, but his family invites you to visit and leave a message at the online memorial: www.forevermissed.com/joe-hall. If you would like to honor Joe’s memory, the family requests donations be made to the Rotary Club of Dixon, PO Box 181, Dixon, CA 95620 — an organization for which he spent countless hours volunteering at the pumpkin patch, crab feeds, pancake breakfasts, dog shows or any other events where his skills and hard work may have been needed.
From Page A1 There are also nonballoon devices in circulation, Hu says. But those products can be extremely difficult to insert or remove from infants in what can be an extremely painful process that generally requires the steady hand of a doctor. Working with 30 different clinicians, Hu’s team found nearly 22 percent of babies’ G-tubes became displaced within three months of their placement. “And that can present major issues,” she notes, “since that age is a critical period of growth for these children. “So if they’re not receiving the proper amounts of nutrition because of movement of the tube, be it small shifting or completely falling out of the stomach tract, that can seriously affect their development.” Back in May, the Pediafeed team gained some West Coast cred, winning both the $10,000 People’s Choice and the $3,000 Food, Ag & Health Innovation Awards at UC Davis’ 20th annual Big Bang! Business Competition. Their novel pediatric feeding tube features secure retention and easy insertion/removal, helping reduce the risk of displacement in neonates. Using that prize money, the group is working on creating a robust, scaled version of its prototypes and developing a pediatric bench-
top testing model. And last week, through a partnership with the Feeding Tube Awareness Foundation, Pediafeed introduced a national survey to gather more feedback on what parents’ and caregivers’ wants and needs are for an improved feeding tube. “Existing models require you bring your child to the hospital for replacements,” Hu adds. “So we want to create a device that parents can feel more comfortable using at home and not have to worry as much about causing their infants a ton of discomfort.” Currently, manufacturing giants Avanos Medical and Applied Medical Technology produce the most widely-used G-tubes. But many of their products have not been updated for well over a decade. “So we have our work cut out for us moving forward,” says Hu, whose is set to begin work as a consultant for Health Advances in San Francisco next month. “There are definitely still a lot of hurdles.” Luckily, this isn’t the Davisite’s first entrepreneurial rodeo. Just this past October, another group Hu originally joined as part of an undergraduate design project filed for an international patent. That team, Maternys, has created a low-cost device to treat postpartum hemorrhage in global settings.

work cut out for us’
The Davis Police Department, he said, “is much better than other departments.” But still people of color and people of different identities have different experiences with police here, he said. “I don’t believe we’re going to solve the problems by vilifying the police,” Guenther said. “You don’t cure oppression with oppression. And that is also going to be a difficult, uncomfortable but absolutely necessary conversation that we have to have as a community. “If we don’t do that, then the rest of it doesn’t matter. “This is a system that was designed, built, implemented and run … by white males,” he added. “As a white male, what I need to be doing is listening.” So his plan as a council member, Guenther said, “is to create a deep and broad community dialogue… where people that have been working on this successfully for a long time step to the front of the line. We need to hear your voices.” Regardless of the issue, whether it’s systemic racism or police brutality, solar lease deals or setting up a publicly owned utility, City Council members, said Guenther, don’t need to be experts. “We have that on commissions. What council members need to be is stewards of the process. It’s the process that gives us the good result. “And that is a huge part of where I’m coming from as a candidate.” Learn more at http:// www.larryguenther.com.
Jan. 22, 1949 — Aug. 28, 2020
Ralph Stromgren, a Davis resident for over 35 years, died peacefully in his home on Aug. 28, following an almost two-year battle from multiple myeloma. He was 71 years old. Born in Alameda to Gus and Shirley Stromgren, Ralph was the youngest of three children. The family moved frequently throughout the years and Ralph attended school in various places in California, New Jersey and Tahoe. He graduated with a pharmacist degree from Idaho State in 1973 and quickly moved to California to begin his career. Ralph is survived by his wife of 43 years, Donita; his children, Kiel and Danielle (Joey); his sister, Janet and brother Paul (Susan) along with niece Tiffany
(Christopher) and her children Max, Callie and Ellie. Ralph, Donita and the family were fortunate to have enjoyed many years of travel, including trips within the United States and to China, Russia, Australia, the Netherlands and along the Mediterranean, and frequent trips to Hawaii. During those trips, Ralph was able to practice his amateur photography skills. His many beautiful photographs grace their home to remind them of their trips. Above all else, Ralph loved his family and he will be thought of and missed every day. The family plans a private tribute at some time in the future.

PURPLE: Trying to find right balance From Page A1 of questions around what’s going to happen when schools are able to open and what’s going to happen when institutions of higher education are open. “(I)t seems unlikely that we will be able to get past Tier 2,” May said. “But… anything’s possible. We just don’t know what that epi curve is going to look like coming into the fall.” The county has seen an increase in the number of children testing positive for COVID-19 in recent days even though schools here have not reopened for in-person instruction. In the last three days, 21 of the 110 new cases reported countywide were in the 0-17 age bracket, according to county data. And while no K-12 schools are currently open for in-person instruction, seven schools in the county — all
private or charter — have applied for waivers to allow in-person instruction for children in grades K-6. The waiver requests are available to schools in counties in Tier 1 and must be approved by the county health officer as well as the state. Those waiver requests are currently under review, said May. As for businesses and other activities, several county supervisors indicated they were in no rush to reopen. “I’m thinking about what happened last time when we became eligible to (reopen businesses) and then we pretty much deferred to the state and …. we opened too much too soon and we had a surge in cases,” said Supervisor Jim Provenza of Davis. Neither businesses nor probably schools would benefit if they are allowed to reopen only to have to shut down again, he said. “We are largely a victim of our own
success here in Yolo County,” said Supervisor Oscar Villegas of West Sacramento. The county had done a good job through the spring of controlling the spread of the virus and flattening the curve, enabling it to meet the state’s criteria at the time for reopening. “The public demanded that we open up,” said Villegas. “I agree with Jim; we obviously opened too soon but that was a lesson we were going to have to learn first-hand. It is what it is … Lesson learned. We’re not going to jump right out front again.” May said that’s a lesson the state appears to have learned as well as it switches to a more phased approach to reopening. “The most important thing is to try to use an evidence-based strategy,” said May, adding that “the state basically recognized they opened up everything too soon.”
BAIL: Stranger offers to put up suspect in his home From Page A1 defendant into his home. Tang, who could be released later this week, will be required to stay inside the house at all times except for medical, religious or other preapproved visits. Newman warned Tang not to let the court or Mr. C down, and assured Mr. C that prosecutors would certainly collect on the bond if Tang flees or fails to appear for court hearings. “Trust me, you’ve put your house at risk,” Newman said. “The government will come get it.”
EMPLOYMENT The Napa Valley Transportation Authority (NVTA) is seeking a full-time Office Manager/Secretary. This position assumes the dayto-day responsibilities for the NVTA administrative services and human resources activities, which include, but are not limited to, supervising and providing oversight to administrative staff; overseeing all aspects of human resources; serving as the Agency’s Civil Rights Compliance Officer and as the Board Secretary for the NVTA and NVTA-Tax Authority (NVTA-TA) Board of Directors’. The successful candidate must be able to multi-task, meet deadlines and work independently and as part of a team. Salary range DOE. This recruitment will remain open until filled; however, first consideration will be given to individuals who apply by August 31, 2020. Application and full job description avail. at: https://www.nvta.ca.gov/ careers
The judge also wanted to make sure Mr. C had not been prompted to come forward by the Chinese government or military. “No, not at all,” Mr. C said, assuring Newman he had come forward on his own. Assistant U.S. Attorney Heiko Coppola is expected to ask U.S. District Judge John A. Mendez to review the decision to grant Tang’s release. Tang is accused of concealing her alleged ties to the Chinese military when she applied for a visa last year to conduct research at UC Davis and again when she was interviewed by the FBI
in June at her Cranbrook Court apartment in Davis. According to a federal criminal complaint, Tang was issued a J-1 visa on Nov. 5. She entered the United States on Dec. 27 and, according to UC Davis, left the university at the end of June. On her visa application, Tang said she was not affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party and had never served in the military, statements U.S. prosecutors say were false. Internet searches conducted by the FBI revealed a 2019 article about Tang’s medical research, which
included a headshot of her wearing a military uniform that bore the insignia of the Civilian Cadres of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. In a Statement of Probable Cause, the FBI cited three news articles that list Tang’s employer as the Air Force Medical University in Xi’an, China. Tang faces a maximum of 10 years in prison and a fine of $250,000 if convicted of visa fraud and an additional maximum statutory penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted of making false statements to the FBI.

LETTER: Victim’s mother isn’t buying it From Page A1 Like Campos and Shannon, Jonathan Froste remains in Yolo County Jail custody while the case is still pending. Campos and Shannon were on track to face a Yolo County jury next week, nearly four years after the alleged murders, when Shannon’s defense attorney Bob Spangler announced “a development” in the case Monday that would take additional time to explore. “A letter was received by Mr. Shannon,” Spangler said during a court hearing before Judge David Rosenberg, noting that the document was reported to and collected by the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office. “It is now in the process of being evaluated by an expert for authenticity. It is exculpatory in nature as to Mr. Shannon, probably as well as to (Campos).” Spangler then began to detail the letter’s contents — getting only as far as “assuming that it is indeed from Jonathan Froste, it apologizes for” — when prosecutor Kyle Hasapes requested that specifics about the letter be discussed privately among Rosenberg and the attorneys. Afterward, Rosenberg announced that he found good cause to delay the trial. The case is due back
“Chandale and his attorney are pulling for any strings so he can get away with murder.” Lola Rios Gutierrez victim’s mother in court Sept. 28 for a trialsetting conference. “That should be sufficient time for counsel to sort out the implications if not the authenticity of the letter,” Rosenberg said. Lola Rios Gutierrez, Enrique’s mother, called the development “complete bulls---,” questioning whether Shannon penned the letter himself in an attempt to avoid trial. “Chandale and his attorney are pulling for any strings so he can get away with murder. I don’t believe one word that comes out of his trash mouth,” Rios told The Enterprise on Tuesday. “If this goes anywhere, others can be at risk of being murdered by him — he will think he can get away with murder and continue doing it.” Meanwhile, Campos’ attorney J. Toney has filed a motion to sever his client’s case from Shannon’s. That matter also will be heard on Sept. 28.

What happened with hydrogen?
E
very few years or so there seems to be a renewed excitement about the potential for using hydrogen as a non-fossil fuel. Usually, the conversation is about cars. Once you get it into a car’s fuel tank, it can power the car without producing any greenhouse gases. Combustion in the engine results in only water coming out the tailpipe. Sounds pretty impressive. So, whatever happened to hydrogen? Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe but on this planet it only exists in combination with one or more other elements in the form of a molecule, like water (H2O) or methane (CH4). All by itself, it’s lighter than air so it rises in the atmosphere. Bottom line, it can’t be mined like coal. It has to be separated from whatever molecule it’s attached to and that requires energy. Somewhere in the range of 95 percent of all hydrogen we use for cars or industrial purposes is currently produced by combining steam and methane (natural gas) at very high temperatures, about 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit, with CO2 as a byproduct. So, one big knock on hydrogen-fueled vehicles has always been that though they are zeroemission vehicles, a lot of CO2 is emitted to produce the fuel. Of course, this is also true of electric cars if their electricity comes from nonrenewable sources, like coal. So why is electric doing so well and hydrogen so poorly? Way back in 2003, thenPresident George W. Bush talked about hydrogen at a time when there was a substantial push for renewable energy, electric cars and raising fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks. There are some who said at the time and say even now in a Clean Technica article, “this may well have been one of the worst examples of greenwashing in our lifetime.” Rather than raising fuel efficiency standards now, Bush argued, we should instead invest in research and development of hydrogen as a fuel. The obstacles to this future were then, and largely still are, not at all trivial. President Bush budgeted $1.2 billion for research and development to figure out how to produce hydrogen without also producing CO2 as a byproduct, how to safely transport and store it, how to make it fit into a car and how to keep it from exploding (think Hindenburg). The Clean Technica article points out, for example, that transport of hydrogen requires that it be liquefied: refrigerated to a temperature of below minus 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and this also requires energy and CO2 emissions. Moreover, although it has been proposed to use the existing network of natural gas pipelines as a distribution system, ”To this day, the issue of leakage through pipe seams due to the small size of the hydrogen molecule (H2) has never been resolved.” It may be possible,
though expensive, to recondition existing natural gas pipelines, assuming those who own the pipelines would agree in the first place. Building a whole new network of pipes that don’t leak would be even more expensive and involve potentially insurmountable costs for right-of-way and easements. In short, switching to hydrogen as a fuel for passenger cars implies a whole lot of infrastructure, including a network of fueling stations. Which brings us to Gov. Schwarzenegger’s 2004 executive order promoting a Hydrogen Highway. This was followed by a series of legislative bills to appropriate funds, require that 33 percent of the hydrogen be produced by renewable-energy sources, and a 2013 law signed by Gov. Brown allocating $20 million a year to construct 100 hydrogen fueling stations around the state. How’s that working out? According to an article in CalMatters, California “has spent more than $300 million in the past 10 years funding rebates for those who buy or lease hydrogen cars, construction of refueling stations, and the purchase of tran-sit buses, as well as subsidizing development of hydrogendriven freight trucks.” Of the approximately 8,000 hydrogen fuel cell cars in the U.S., almost all of them are in California and we have a grand total of less than 50 fueling stations (UC Davis has one and there is also one in West Sacramento).
S
till, efforts continue to figure out how to get hydrogen to work. Innovation sometimes takes time. There are still true believers who point out that cars are not the only possible vehicles able to run on hydrogen, and other commercial uses may be a bridge to the hydrogen future. For example, there are more than 26,000 forklifts whirring around warehouses and the U.S. space program has long used hydrogen as rocket fuel. And, hydrogen is getting a big boost from Japan. In 2014, Japan officially announced it would be converting to a hydrogen economy. While Toyota and Honda have continued to push in this direction, the capstone of this Strategic Road Map for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells was the declaration that the 2020 Summer Olympics (oops) would be the First Hydrogen Olympics. This commitment included putting thousands of cars and a good number of buses on the road as examples, and, most dramatically, for the first time the Olympic Torch would be lit with a hydrogen flame. — John Mott-Smith is a resident of Davis.

Not your traditional boxed lunches Try pantry-friendly Japanese meals Special to The Enterprise
C
ooking with your kids is a fun way to bond while teaching basic culinary skills. It provides practical lessons like counting ingredients and dividing portions. Plus, meals cooked together offer kids something to look forward to during lunchtime. They can enjoy the food they helped prepare, and you’ll be able to check at least one meal off your to-do list while teaching valuable life lessons. One way to make cooking more exciting for the family is to prepare food for a bento box using pantry staples. Bento boxes are considered an act of love in Japan and are a fun way to get your family involved in the kitchen. Bento boxes are similar to single-portion lunchboxes except they feature small compartments for each element of your meal, making it easy to encourage kids to eat fresh fruits and veggies. They also offer a whimsy visual appeal that can make mealtime more entertaining. Next time you plan a meal with loved ones, try incorporating authentic Japanese recipes like a Simple Teriyaki Bowl, a Miso-Glazed Salmon Bento or Garlic Shrimp with Jasmine Rice. These dishes call for simple preparations, short cook times and pantry basics, making it easy to involve your family in the process. To create a taste-tempting family meal with genuine Japanese flavors, try premium sauces and rice vinegar. For more than two centuries, vinegar has helped chefs and families around the world delight in the flavors of Japan. Now the taste can be at

Enjoy a simple teriyaki bowl at home.
Ingredients: ¼ cup miso paste 2 tablespoons Mizkan Mirin Sweet Cooking Seasoning 1 tablespoon sake 2 skinless center-cut salmon fillets (6 ounces each) 1 cup thinly sliced seedless cucumbers 1 teaspoon kosher salt 2 tablespoons Mizkan Seasoned Rice Vinegar 2 cups cooked short-grain sushi rice, cooled 1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onions 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
6 cherry tomatoes 2 lemon wedges Putting it together: In medium bowl, whisk miso paste, mirin and sake. Add salmon, turning to coat evenly. Marinate 10 to 30 minutes. Discard remaining marinade. Heat large nonstick pan on medium-high heat. Cook fish 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until internal temperature reaches 145 F. Cut each fillet into four small pieces. In strainer or colander, toss cucumbers with salt; let stand 5 minutes. Squeeze out excess liquid; toss with rice vinegar. Pack each bento box evenly with rice, pickled cucumbers and salmon. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Garnish with tomatoes and lemons. Substitutions: If ingredients are unavailable or difficult to find: Use ¼ cup soy sauce to glaze salmon in place of miso paste; use low-carb rice such as cauliflower or broccoli rice in place of sushi rice.

The art of sorting mail and filling beer cans T he word “brew” applies to coffee these days as much as to beer. A “brewery,” however, is exclusively a place for making beer or, in the words of the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a place for making “malt liquors.” Although making beer is of course the iconic and central role of a brewery, it is by no means the exclusive activity nor even the primary one. In any large commercial brewing operation, the primary activity of a brewery, by almost any measure one might wish to apply, is not making beer but putting beer into cans and bottles. That is beer packaging. There continues to be a shortage of beer cans, because, for reasons that I outlined in an earlier column, demand is outstripping supply. However, what brings my attention to packaging is the recent uproar about removing from post office facilities highspeed machines that sort mail. This has garnered a good deal of attention because anyone who receives mail knows that delivery is slower theses days than it was. Cynics espy a ruse to delay and
disrupt and denigrate voting by mail, which is supposed to help election of Republicans. The parallel between sorting mail and filling cans with beer is the extraordinary speed with which these machines operate. The speed of these machines and the relatively small amount of labor required to operate them is the foundation of efficiency — that is, bang for the buck or return on investment. Mail sorting machines that are the target for removal at the USPS can sort some 30,000 letters per hour or 500 per minute. This is a relatively slow speed for filling cans though suitable for a craft brewery. The filling machines at large commercial breweries fill cans at a speed of well over 2,000 per minute. Machines for filling bottles are slower. The reason for such high speed is the sheer volume of beer that must be processed: millions of barrels of beer each of 31 gallons (nearly 4,000 fluid ounces) must be broken down into individual packages each containing 12 fluid ounces that are easy to take home or out to a picnic. You do the math.
Of course, it takes a finite time to fill a can and that time is acquired by having cans ride on a fast-revolving carousel, each can attached to a filling spout for one turn of the machine. These carousels are large and cans pass in a blur. If, for example, a carousel has 200 spouts and is running with an output of 2,000 cans per minute, it must turn at 10 rotations per minute and so a can resides on the machine for six seconds. That is the time to load, fill and discharge each can. During its turn on the carousel, the can must a) make airtight contact with the “tulip” of the filling spout b) be flushed with CO2 to remove oxygen, c) pressurized to prevent beer from foaming when filling d) filled with beer by gravity flow, then e) pressure reduced
back to atmospheric pressure (called snift), and f ) jetted to cause some foaming to displace headspace air and delivered to a separate machine that puts on the can lid and seals it. The amount of space required for a packaging plant at a brewery is many multiples of the space required for making the beer. The equipment used has many moving parts and is hightech and correspondingly expensive.
T
he machines are connected together by conveyors and a significant workforce looks after the enterprise. Undoubtedly, the packaging for beer, whether in bottles or cans, is the most expensive part of a six-pack; they say that the price of a six-pack would not change much even if the cans and bottles contained water not beer. The point I am trying to make is that high-speed and consequent high-capacity are required for dealing with mountains of anything whether it be beer or mail and to assure the efficiency or cost-effectiveness of that process. Such machines in a brewery
are sometimes removed because they wear out or become obsolete and are replaced by new machines that bring advantages in efficiency and product quality, both of which can be turned into profit, even in a stable market. I can’t quite see how similar arguments apply to the post office when fast sorting machines are simply removed, not replaced or upgraded, in the service of efficiency. It is true that consumers’ tastes change from time to time; at the post office, apparently there is a change from letters to packages. In the brewing industry, a parallel change has been the change from bottles to cans. That has caused bottling machines to be removed to make space for new can lines. So there may be some justice in this argument at the USPS, but it all seems so coincidental with the need for voter suppression that it’s really hard not to be suspicious of a motive linking the two. — Reach Michael Lewis at lewiswales@me.com.

COMMENTARY Housing bills fail in Legislature Six-degrees of E influence from Harris to Burton BY JAMES RICHARDSON Special to CalMatters
T
here was a subtext beneath the surface of the Democratic Convention unnoticed by the national media: the influence beyond the grave of Phil Burton, the progenitor and impresario of modern, hard-edged liberal politics in California. Burton represented San Francisco in Congress from 1964 until his sudden death of an aortic aneurysm in 1983. Burton’s legislative legacy included the preservation of enormous tracts of wilderness across the country including the Golden Gate National Seashore. And he came close to being elected Speaker of the House before he died. Burton’s imprint on California Democratic politics went far beyond his own legislative accomplishments. Those who can trace their political lineage directly, or indirectly, to Burton include House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, former Assembly Speaker and San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, former state Senate Pro Tem John Burton (Phil’s younger brother) — and now vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris. I found myself in recent days wishing I could talk to my late Sacramento Bee colleague and good friend John Jacobs, who wrote a masterful biography of Burton titled, “A Rage for Justice,” published in 1995. What would John make of the rise of Harris? What would John make of Donald Trump? I began thinking about this while watching Pelosi interviewed on a Washington Post podcast. Pelosi was asked why she had endorsed Joe Kennedy III, grandson of Robert Kennedy, in a Democratic Senate primary in Massachusetts against a Democratic incumbent. She replied that her family has a long connection to the Kennedys through her father, who was a politician. Left unsaid is Pelosi owes her Congressional seat to Burton, who had close ties to Bobby Kennedy. After Burton died, his wife Sala took his seat. When she lay dying in 1987, Sala recruited Pelosi to run for the seat. Pelosi had long been an organizer and money-raiser in San Francisco politics. While Pelosi inherited Burton’s seat in Congress, Willie Brown inherited Burton’s role as a powerbroker in California politics. Brown has been part of the Burton circle since befriending John Burton when they were students at San Francisco State.
H
arris, too young to have known Phil Burton, dated Brown when he was Assembly Speaker. In 1994, he appointed her to two state commissions. A year later, Harris was by his side when he ran for mayor. On election night, she handed him a blue cap emblazoned with “Da Mayor.” Their relationship ended soon after, but her career took off. When Harris ran for president last year, internet memes buzzed that she had an “extramarital affair” with Brown. However, Brown had been estranged from his wife, Blanche, for nearly 40 years and has never made a secret of the women he has dated. It is inaccurate to call Burton’s organization a machine in the old sense of East Coast politics, though to this day it is still called “The Burton Machine.” He was as much as anything a talent scout, recruiting promising politicians committed to his progressive politics but expedient in pursuing power. As the mastermind of the 1980 reapportionment, Burton produced district maps so contorted he bragged they were his “contribution to modern art.” As an organization, the Burton Machine could be loose. Terence Hallinan, in the Burton circle from the early days, was unseated as San Francisco District Attorney by none other than Harris. My only encounter with Phil Burton was when I was an 18-year-old delegate pledged to George McGovern at the 1972 Democratic Convention. Burton was co-chair of the California delegation, along with Willie Brown and UFW organizer Dolores Huerta. My chief memory is how Burton saved the day for Sen. John Tunney when we came close to refusing to seat the senator as a delegate. Burton lectured us that he didn’t like Tunney either, but we had to seat him or we would embarrass our presidential candidate. We seated Tunney. — James Richardson is a former senior writer with The Sacramento Bee and the author of “Willie Brown: A Biography,” jdrichardson.sac@gmail.com. Richardson’s current book project, “The Abolitionist’s Journal,” is about his ancestors. He wrote this for CalMatters, a public interest journalism venture committed to explaining how California’s Capitol works and why it matters.
vidence keeps mounting that California’s longtime housing shortage can be solved by market forces set loose by the lifestyle and workplace changes created by the coronavirus pandemic. Now the failure of the worst parts of a sweeping housing package in the state Legislature leaves the path clear for those market forces to work themselves out. Had the most wide-ranging of the bills passed, there could have been far less motivation for developers and local governments to heed the accelerating non-political forces. Potential housing effects of the viral crisis became noticeable almost immediately after shelter-at-home orders first came from county governments in the San Francisco Bay Area, quickly followed by similar statewide decrees by Gov. Gavin Newsom. White collar workers for companies large and small were suddenly ordered to work from home, as companies from Internet giants like Twitter and Facebook to law firms, insurance companies, stock brokerages and many more provided technology for workers to work wherever they like. Soon, television broadcasters were shown in living rooms and back yards viewers had never before seen. Vacancy signs proliferated in the densest of business districts from San Francisco
to Santa Monica to Fresno, San Diego, Orange County and beyond. Said a stock brokerage vice president in Pasadena, “We spent $2 million over the last two years refurbishing our offices to accommodate more than 100 workers. Now we get five people a day working there. We don’t need all that space. Our people are as productive as ever; they’re just not in the office very often.” Realtors report record levels of vacancies, but a building boom propelled by previous state demands for more and more mixed-use office and commercial buildings has continued. As empty space appeared within existing buildings, spurred strictly by nonpolitical events, state lawmakers kept pushing the most ambitious housing construction plan the Legislature ever saw. Pushed by Democrats like San Francisco state Sen. Scott Wiener, Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins of San Diego and Santa Monica Assemblyman Richard Bloom, this package included SB 902, allowing
up to 10 units on any lot zoned for a single home; two other bills allowing developers to build more high-end units on one site if they constructed enough affordable ones on others; a fourth letting city councils overturn without a new popular vote all height-limit laws passed by local voters — and much more. But the 10-unit bill died in a committee, along with the prospect of developers trolling established low-rise neighborhoods with fat bankrolls to tempt homeowners sitting on large amounts of equity. So did several other major proposals in the package.
I
f the lawmakers behind these measures paid any heed to what’s going on in their own districts, they might not have proposed these things, despite the strong support they quite predictably got from developers and building trade unions. Twitter’s building in Wiener’s district now stands mostly empty. Office towers in Atkins’ San Diego district are nowhere near filled and “for-lease” signs abound in downtown Santa Monica, barely a mile from Bloom’s home. These empty spaces and many more like them will likely produce more than 1 billion vacant square feet that can be turned into apartments and condominiums in
all price ranges with far less work, in far less time and with far fewer lawsuits to fight them than pushing for new construction. Building trades workers will be kept busy doing the electric, plumbing, elevator, carpentry and drywall work needed to convert commercial space into residences. Established neighborhoods will remain intact. Yes, it will take some rezoning to accomplish this. But those changes are inevitable: cities and counties would otherwise stand to lose large amounts of property tax money as massive vacancies reduce the value of commercial buildings. If legislators are really interested in solving the housing problem, and not merely in self-aggrandizement or feathering the nests of their campaign donors, they will leave well enough alone, allowing the market forces to play out over the next two to three years. That way, California will see the millions of new housing units it needs far faster than it could have under any of the failed new laws. — Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

LETTERS RNC’s version of California I am so glad that I listened to part of the opening night of the RNC as it revealed to me what the U.S. and California is really like. Living in the People’s Republic of Davis, I had no idea that I should be arming myself against my pinko, socialist neighbors who are promoting, according to Kimberley Guilfoyle, Gov. Newsom’s ex-wife, a California that “Democrats turned into a land of discarded heroin needles in parks, riots in the streets and blackouts in homes.” (It’s a good thing she recognized Newsom’s wimpy socialist character in time and found a real man in Trump Jr.) No more farmers market for me, where I might step on a used needle, even if I could get to the market through the riot strewn streets and burning businesses, or have enough electricity to recharge the electric car I hope to get. Oh well, if Davis isn’t really that bad because it is a smaller town, I certainly have to avoid Sacramento, and, good Lord, the festering dens of iniquity in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland or Chicago, particularly the latter two cities, where the streets are stained with blood. No more exposing myself to the leftist Dunning column in The Enterprise or other fake news media. I will remain in my well-armed home fortress and just keep on viewing recordings of the RNC.

Support for Provenza I unequivocally support Jim Provenza for re-election to the Yolo County Board of Supervisors on Nov. 3. Last year, my neighborhood was faced with an impending change that could have damaged the safety and welfare of our community. While other local representatives were invited, Jim Provenza was the only elected official to meet with our neighborhood. He did this to understand our concerns and offer suggestions. What we didn’t anticipate was how Jim’s experience as a supervisor and his legal expertise as a former deputy district attorney illuminated additional concerns beyond the safety of our neighborhood. You see, the matter also involved an adjacent county’s justice system. Jim worked with the adjacent county supervisor and highlighted that the way the proposal was being implemented in
