Enterprise staff writer The first UC Davis students began moving into on-campus housing this week with 600 students moving into The Green, a brand-new apartment complex in West Village on the UC Davis campus. The move-in process is also new this year — gone are the days of jammed parking lots and crowded elevators — with
Each student was assigned a specific move-in time, with the appointments staggered throughout the week to avoid crowding and enable physical distancing. Students were given one-hour move-in slots and allowed to bring just one additional person into the building to help them move.
Before moving in, students were required to get screened for COVID-19. Under the supervision of medical staff from Student Health and Counseling Services, a saliva sample and a nasal swab were collected from each student at a kiosk set up in The Pavilion parking garage on campus. The testing process was estimated to take 10-15 minutes per resident, with results communicated to students within 24-48 hours. The saliva samples were sent to the UC Davis Genome
Center and are being processed on campus using a new highthroughput testing system, while the nasal swabs are being sent to labs off campus. “Student residents should expect to be tested on at least a weekly basis through fall quarter,” UC Davis Chancellor Gary S. May said last week in a public statement. “During the pilot, we will use nasal swab tests as a backup, for analysis off campus.”

City adds more bike lockers at train station BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer The city has added 12 more BikeLink lockers at the Davis Depot. The new lockers provide secure parking for bikes up to 84 inches long, serving many of the longer-style bicycles, according to the city. The twostory lockers feature a lift-assist so bicycles can easily be lifted into and out of the lockers. The Davis Depot also has 24 single-story bike lockers on the west side of the station. To use a BikeLink locker, first purchase a BikeLink card at the train station counter or at bike link.org. The cost to store a bike is five cents per hour. And while parking a bike in a bike locker is more secure than parking in a bike rack — and

bike parking to our residents and visitors,” said Mayor Gloria Partida. Jennifer Donofrio, the city’s bike and pedestrian coordinator, encouraged residents to use the bike lockers when possible because they are a safe place to park your bike and ensure it will be there when you come back. However, if you decide to park at a free bike rack, Donofrio recommended locking the frame and wheels. She also recommended using security bolts and removing all quick-releases, typically located on the seat post and wheels. Remember also to remove all valuables when leaving your bike. For more information on how to park bikes securely, visit cityofdavis.org/bikes and check out the Lock Your Bike page.
Davis City Council members on Tuesday night directed city staff to work with city commissioners and the community at large to craft a revised leaf-blower ordinance that would likely include a ban on gaspowered blowers. But while such an ordinance wouldn’t be ready for council consideration until possibly early 2021, city staff will return as early as next week with an emergency measure banning the use of all blowers until Oct. 31. The urgency ordinance is aimed a reducing emissions and dust during a period when air quality from wildfires has been unhealthy for days on end. And while the air quality on Wednesday morning was the best it has been in Davis in some time, the assumption is that will change with more fires and more bad air predicted through the end of fire season. The ban on all leaf blowers during that period would be subject to extension or early termination based on ongoing air quality readings, with an AQI of 100 being the benchmark city staff would consider. The city’s Natural Resources Commission had recommended such a short-term ban on gas-powered leaf blowers in order to avoid exacerbating air quality conditions.

Briefly Woman struck by train identified A 42-year-old Dixon woman has been identified as the victim of Wednesday’s fatal trainversus-pedestrian collision in Dixon. Gabriela Ahumada died at the scene of the incident, which Union Pacific Railroad spokesman Tim McMahan said occurred at about 6:50 a.m. when the eastbound Union Pacific freight train struck her on the tracks in the area of Porter Road and Almond Street. Solano County coroner’s officials did not release Ahumada’s cause or manner of death Thursday, pending further investigation. The train crew was unhurt in the collision, McMahan said.

Enterprise staff writer An invasive mosquito species with the potential to transmit Zika and other diseases has been detected in Yolo County for the first time. An adult female Aedes aegypti mosquito was found in a trap near East and Main streets in the city of Winters, the SacramentoYolo Mosquito and Vector Control District announced on Tuesday. “This is the first discovery of invasive mosquitoes for the 2020 season within district boundaries and the first detection ever in Yolo County,” the district announced. “As part of our ongoing surveillance program, we have been setting traps looking for invasive mosquitoes,” said district manager Gary Goodman. “Finding this mosquito for the first time likely means it could possibly be established anywhere. We will continue to work diligently to look for and identify locations where these mosquitoes can be breeding,” he said.
In August of 2019, invasive mosquitoes were found for the first time in Citrus Heights but they have not been found anywhere in Sacramento County this season. Aedes aegypti are small, dark mosquitoes that lay eggs above water in small containers such as flower pots, pet dishes, bird baths, tin cans, tires and other containers as small as a bottle cap that are commonly found in backyards. Finding them can be very difficult, requiring the public’s assistance. “We need your help,” said Goodman. “If you are being bitten throughout the day or notice more mosquitoes in your yard, please give the district a call to request a free inspection.” The district can be reached at 1-800-429-1022. All Yolo County residents are also urged to inspect their yards daily and drain all sources of stagnant water. In response to the new detection, the district will enhance surveillance efforts by setting up additional traps in surrounding neighborhoods that will
help assess the spread of the infestation, Goodman said. Field technicians also will conduct door-to-door inspections looking for potential mosquito breeding sites, conduct appropriate treatments as necessary and talk to residents about preventive measures around their home. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is not native to California. It is an aggressive mosquito that prefers to bite people during the day and has the potential to transmit serious diseases including Zika, dengue and chikungunya, the district said. These mosquitoes are now permanently established throughout the state and were recently found for the first time in Sutter and Shasta counties. San Joaquin County had initially detected the mosquitoes last year and found them again this past July. Residents experiencing mosquito bites during the day should report them immediately by calling 1-800-429-1022 or requesting service at www. FIGHTtheBITE.net.
indecency charges
BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer A Davis man with more than a dozen pending court cases added another to the mix this week with his arrest on burglary and indecent-exposure charges, according to Woodland Police Department. Jose Roberto Indalopez, 36, was taken into custody Tuesday morning following a series of events that began at about 6 a.m., when officers were dispatched to a 911 call of a man entering another person’s apartment on Elliot Street, Woodland police reported in a Facebook post. “The victim was woken up by the sound of the suspect coming into his home, and when confronting the suspect and asking why he was there, the suspect tried to play it off by saying he was simply ‘looking for his wife,’ “ the post said. That person — later identified as Indalopez — then left the apartment and was gone by the time
officers arrived. “But that is not where this story ends,” police said. Several hours later, police returned to the same apartment complex, this time “for a report of a man on the property that was only covered from the waist up, pleasuring himself,” the Facebook post said. “When officers arrived the suspect was gone once again, but a witness was able to give a description and tell the officers which way the suspect had gone.” Police apprehended Indalopez behind a nearby market and booked him into the Yolo County Jail. He was due to appear Thursday in Yolo Superior Court, where online records show he has 15 active cases on charges including battery, assault on a peace officer, exhibiting a weapon, vandalism, resisting arrest, petty theft, vehicle theft, prowling, public intoxication and drug-related offenses.
Project Linus keeps right on stitching Special to The Enterprise The blanketeers of Project Linus of Yolo County have been busy during this pandemic, making and distributing handmade blankets to children in need up to age 18 years old. This group usually meets at the Davis Senior Center the second Wednesday of each month to sew on the Project Linus labels on blankets, which are then given out to various groups. But since the pandemic, they have had to be creative. Blankets are dropped off on the coordinator’s front porch, but only on specific “blanket drop off days” and picked up by various agencies. Since the pandemic began, Project Linus of Yolo County has donated 751 blankets to the following local agencies: Fourth & Hope, CommuniCare Health Center in Davis and West Sacramento, Yolo County Children’s Alliance, Empower Yolo, Yolo Crisis Nursery, Woodland Police Department, Woodland Fire Department, United Way, Yolo County Child Protective Services, Family Hui and Woodland Joint Unified School District.
Project Linus would like to provide blankets to the children displaced by the recent fires and received a request from the national office on Sunday. Fifty new handmade blankets were sent to the coordinator in Jacksonville, Ore., for distribution to children affected by the fire there. Scott Yoder, owner of Pak Mail near the East Davis Nugget, boxed the blankets and sent them all to Oregon, at a deep discount. If you know of a contact to help distribute blankets to evacuated children, to make a donation or for

Smoke gets in their eyes PAWS FOR THOUGHT

othered by our bad, smoky air? So are pets! When air quality is bad, keep pets indoors as much as possible and do not engage in strenuous outdoor activities with pets. Like young children and older adults, small pets, including birds, are especially susceptible to air quality. Older pets or those with allergies or underlying health conditions should also be monitored closely. Check air quality with your smartphone weather app or go to https://www. airnow.gov/. When air quality is unhealthy for sensitive groups, it’s time to restrict outdoor activities and keep windows shut. Use air conditioners and air purifiers with high-efficiency filters to remove particulates. When indoors don’t smoke, fry or broil food, vacuum, burn candles or use a fireplace or woodstove. Observe your pet. Is it lethargic? Anxious? Overly alert? Animals sense changes more acutely than humans and what they smell, taste and feel may upset them. Take a moment to reassure and calm an anxious pet. Ash from wildfires is everywhere including on your pet. Brush fur to remove ashes. Pet wipes for eyes, ears, feet and fur can soothe irritations. If a pet is scratching, rubbing and itching a lot, it may be time for a bath with a petspecific hypoallergenic shampoo followed by a calming leave-in conditioner. Fine particulates from smoke can cause serious health issues including burning eyes and chronic congestion. The American

Vera perches on the back of the sofa after chasing a ball around the house. Veterinary Medical Association recommends contacting your veterinarian if a pet is coughing/gagging, having difficulty breathing such as gasping for breath, breathing noisily, rapidly or with an open-mouth, has red or watery eyes, nasal discharge, shows signs of fatigue or weakness, disorientation or stumbling, or is reluctant to eat or drink. What about canine face masks? Many people in China have their dogs wear air or “pollution masks” to protect them from the smog. Last year, when the Santa Barbara Thomas Fire forced people and their pets to evacuate to shelters, some people tried putting face masks on their dogs. They didn’t work because dogs have long furry muzzles. Fortunately, there are N95 Air Filter Masks appropriately
designed for dogs that are effective. They look like cloth dog muzzles and come in all sizes. Interested? Go to K-9 Mask Dog Air Filters at https://www.k9mask. com; FAQ About K9 Mask @ https://www.k9mask. com/pages/faq. Be prepared to evacuate. Dogs and cats need to be microchipped and wear collars with ID tags. Go online and update microchip information with current contact and medical information. Take photos with your smartphone of important paperwork, e.g., dog license, vaccination and medical records. Also take photos of you with your pets to prove ownership. Have pet crates, blankets, medications, favorite toys and treats, food/water bowls along with bottled water and pet food for seven to 10 days
As colleges and universities begin fall classes, it’s good to have a pet pal. Ava Bindas writes, “After moving to Sacramento, my roommate and I adopted Vera from Front Street Animal Shelter. We wanted a cat to keep us company and make our home a bit more lively as we pursue our Ph.D.s at UC Davis — we certainly got what we hoped for! “At Front Street, we met so many sweet kittens, but when we picked up Vera, she latched on and starting purring — we knew there wasn’t a chance we were leaving without the 3-pound ball of white fluff. “Since then, Vera has puffed out and grown into her long tail, but she has kept her puckish ways that delight (and, sometimes, disrupt) us each day. She loves chasing any sort of ball around the house, lying in windowsills and inventing new histrionics to draw attention to her empty food bowl. Especially during these months of quarantine, Vera is a constant source of joy, adventure and humor.” — Evelyn Dale of Davis is a volunteer and advocate for shelter animal welfare.

Program abuzz with first Master keeper BY KATHY KEATLEY GARVEY
certified 206 Apprentices and 22 Journey-level beekeepers, who have volunteered more than 24,510 service hours in science-based education and outreach in beekeeping and environmental stewardship. The total value of the service hours is $623,289. The total number of individuals served is 98,618. “This year, despite COVID-19 constraints, the California Master Beekeeper Program continues its mission of using science-based information to educate stewards and ambassadors for honey bees and beekeeping, by moving its courses and exams online,” Mather said.
Special to The Enterprise Despite COVID-19 pandemic precautions and constraints, the California Master Beekeeper Program, headquartered at UC Davis, has certified its first-ever Master Beekeeper: Amy Hustead of Grass Valley, a veteran beekeeper who also happens to be the only beekeeper in her family. Hustead, president of the Nevada County Beekeepers Association and a veterinary technician, recently passed the Master-level beekeeper certification process. CAMBP, founded and co-directed by Extension apiculturist Elina Lastro Niño of the UC Davis department of entomology and nematology, uses science-based information to educate stewards and ambassadors for honey bees and beekeeping. It offers three levels of certification (Apprentice, Journey and Master). Niño launched the first Apprentice class in 2016. Hustead’s passion is education and outreach, said Niño and CAMBP manager Wendy Mather. Hustead’s Master Capstone project involved teaching two, three-hour online classes (“Planning Ahead for Your First Hives,” and “Working Your Colonies.”) She designed, developed and successfully delivered “Intermediate Backyard Beekeeping,” an indepth, online, four-hour course on science-based beekeeping for the hobbyist and sidelined. Topics included winter and spring preparation, swarm prevention, active swarming, splits and nucs (nucs, or nucleus colonies, are small colonies created from larger colonies), diseases, nutrition, maximizing honey production, and harvesting honey, wax, propolis and pollen. Hustead, a wife, a mother of 9-yearold twin boys, and a seven-year beekeeper, said she really enjoys CAMBP. “It has allowed me to meet some really excellent beekeepers. I plan to continue to teach classes and help educate people on the biology of bees.” Highly praised for her work, she has drawn such comments as “the class exceeded my expectations”; her “lecture style is professional, yet warm, which is needed in the context of Zoom classes”; and she “keeps an open mind about other beekeepers’ goals.” Wrote another: “Amy is very informed and easy to follow, and shares her information with the right amount of applicable detail for the intermediate.” What fascinates Hustead about bees? “When I was in college I studied sociobiology, which is a field of biology that explains social behavior in terms

Amy Hustead is seen in training. She is the first Master Beekeeper in the UC Davis-based California Master Beekeeper Program. of evolution,” she said. “I have always been fascinated by the cross-section of evolution and behavior. Bees are the epitome of social insects. Everything they do is for the good of the whole. “I dabbled in homesteading when I first moved to the foothills, and like a lot of people, started out keeping chickens. I think I wanted to get goats but my husband was not on board, so I decided to get bees instead.” As a veterinary technician, she works in low-cost spay and neuter programs. “I also volunteer with an organization that provides veterinary care to pets of homeless and lowincome people in the Sacramento area.” Bees keep her occupied at several locations. “I have between 15 and 20 personal colonies at three different locations,” Hustead said. “I also manage a few colonies for other people.” As it turns out, this year is not a good year for bees. “Mostly my bees aren’t doing well this year,” she said. “The nectar flow was non-existent, and the recent fires haven’t helped. For the first year ever I am harvesting no honey from my yard at home.” Hustead homeschools her twins. “I am very serious about homeschooling my kids, and part of our curriculum is extensive travel.” The Hustead family has visited a number of states in the nation and has already been to Mexico, Ireland and Costa Rica. “We are planning a Europe trip as soon as possible.” Since late 2016, CAMBP has
CAMBP’s current 53 Apprentice candidates took their online exam Sept. 12. To pass, they had to score at least 75 percent. “Candidates uploaded videos or partook in ‘live from their apiary’ Zoom sessions to satisfy the requirements of the practical rubric,” Mather said. The Journey-level candidates have completed the online written portion of their certification and their videos and Zoom practicals are in progress. “So far, we’re proud to announce that all 15 Journey level candidates scored above 80 percent on their written exams, and their videos and Zoom practicals are looking great,” Mather said. The Master level usually takes an average of five years to achieve. Some candidates choose to remain as Apprentice- or Journey-level beekeepers. CAMBP offers pre-approved Master Capstone Tracks, but also encourages candidates to follow their passion if their favorites are not on the list, which includes: native bees and pollinator gardens, commercial beekeeping, scientific research, education and outreach and policy for honey bees and native pollinators. The seven Master-level candidates for the 2020-21 season are pursuing a variety of projects, including mapping drone congregation areas, authoring a book on the history of honey in ancient Greece, establishing a pollen library for the state of California, starting a commercial beekeeping business, and training a “detector dog” in the apiary. To maintain active status as a Master Beekeeper with CAMBP, members are required to perform and log 25 hours of BEEs (beneficial education experiences). Hustead will perform a minimum of 25 volunteer hours annually.

Pets of the week Special to The Enterprise Lots of animals are waiting for “forever homes” at the Yolo County Animal Shelter, 2640 E. Gibson Road in Woodland. Among them is Bear (A182440) a 3-year-old brindle Labrador retriever mix. This gentle giant is very affectionate and will lean in to be pet. He knows how to sit and lie down on command. Bear is a big goofball and will roll over for belly rubs, too. He has played with some shelter dogs but can sometimes be selective.
Bear Also hoping for a good home is Gabby (A182696), a female longhaired kitten. She’s a super sweetheart who wants to be everyone’s friend. Her quiet, squeaky meow will capture your heart.
Molly 7-year-old spayed female Rottweiler mix. Molly loves people but doesn’t do well with cats. She loves to play in water, is housebroken and obedience trained and walks well on a leash. She has always been well cared for, but her family divorced. She would do best in a family with older children or just adults. Ned is a 6-month-old neutered male border collie. He was found with three other siblings running in an orchard. They were very frightened and had not been socialized. After being at Rotts of Friends for a month, Ned is making progress and learning to trust people.

ARRIVALS: UC Davis tests residents From Page A1 Students were not required to pay any additional fees for COVID-19 testing, which May said UC Davis plans to expand to others members of the campus community. “While screening will begin with students living on campus, we intend to make COVID-19 screening available to all who are using campus facilities,” the chancellor said. “Once the saliva screening process has been fully validated during the pilot phase, we plan to open more kiosks for phased implementation of screening of all UC Davis students, academics and staff members.” After completing COVID-19 screening at The Pavilion, students reported to check-in stations at The Green, where they waited in physically distanced lines — friends and family were not
permitted to wait in line with students — before checking into their rooms. Face coverings were strictly required and elevators were limited to two occupants at a time.
The Green Built within the past year-and-a-half, The Green’s Phase 1 provides housing for around 1,000 students. By next year, The Green will triple in size, with apartments for 3,300 students total. According to a press release from Stantec, a design, architecture and engineering firm that worked on The Green, it is “the largest student housing development currently under construction in the U.S.” When the entire complex is completed, it will comprise nine four-story apartment buildings along with indoor and outdoor community spaces and
recreational fields across 34 acres. The next phase of The Green includes a 10,000-square-foot community building with a fitness center, a multipurpose room and student support services. The $575 million project is funded by the proceeds of a tax-exempt bond sale, which, according to Stantec, is “the largest bond sale ever in the U.S. for a student housing project.” “With its expansive solar electric arrays, The Green contributes to the overall neighborhood goal of zero net energy, which means the project is designed to generate as much energy as it uses within a year,” Stantec said in the press release. “We’re excited to hit this critical milestone — on schedule,” said Richey Madison, Stantec principal, West Coast Education. “This year has presented unprecedented obstacles with the ongoing impacts
of the pandemic, and to see the first wave of students move into The Green is humbling for our entire public-private partnership team.” The Green will be operated by Michaels Student Living Management. Collegiate Housing Foundation will hold the ground lease with the University of California, while UC Davis Student Housing and Dining Services will be responsible for marketing, leasing and on-site residence services. Students will move into traditional on-campus residence halls next week, with density reduced in the residence halls to one student per room.

BLOWER: Council eyes long-term solution From Page A1 However, in suggesting a ban on all blowers during the short term — gaspowered and electric — Councilman Brett Lee noted that “it doesn’t matter whether it’s gas or electric. It’s the fact that we have these significant wildfires and there’s all this dust falling out of the sky and the last thing we want to do is re-stir it up and have at ground-level all these particles floating around for people to breathe while they walk by or ride their bikes by.” “If there is ash present, you should never use these devices,” said Councilman Dan Carson. “That’s the clear message we’re getting from the (the California Air Resources Board). “You don’t use them when the air quality is bad and you don’t use them to clean up ash. That’s my view of the world,” he added. As for the longterm plan, council members seemed to prefer a cautious approach, with several describing the possible negative impacts of a total ban on leaf blowers year round. “I think an outright ban on the ability of folks to use this tool would have impacts beyond just the appearance of your yard,” said Councilman Will Arnold. “That would include potentially pests, mold, fire safety impacts…” Additionally, said Arnold, there may be an assumption that without leaf blowers, people would turn to better alternatives for removing leaves and debris, such as brooms and rakes.
“I think some will,” he said. “(But) I think the alternative could also be … folks using water, which has its own negative environmental consequences… so I would be worried about some potential unintended consequences.” Arnold also noted the impact on small landscaping businesses “who rely on this tool either for their own ability to do the work or for their life and livelihood.
“So should the result of the long-term process be a phasing out of gas-powered blowers, I think it must be accompanied by a robust incentive program, either rebates, buybacks, something like that … to get individuals and companies to invest in alternatives prior to them being phased out,” Arnold said. Council members have received a lot of comment in recent days about leaf
blowers, said Carson, with “no consensus at this point.” That said, he noted that the city has not looked at its leaf-blower ordinance in 10 years and now is a good time to do so. Carson said he favored having staff work with city commissions to reach out to landscaping businesses on a potential long-term ban on gas-powered blowers and how to accommodate a shift in the tools they use.
OBITUARIES Judith Kay Berry
Aug. 29, 1943 — Sept. 10, 2020 Judith Kay Berry (born Judith Kay Kruse) passed away at her home on Sept. 10 after a long battle with cancer. She was a loved and respected member of her church and community, known for her friendliness and positive attitude. She worked as a medical assistant for Kaiser Permanente for more than 30 years, retiring in 2010. Judi was an assistant teacher of Ikebana and enjoyed playing with a local ukulele group. She was a supporter of the Yolo Crisis Nursery and served many hours there. Judi hand-sewed 800-plus face masks for her friends and neighbors, some of which were shipped to other countries. Judith is survived by her husband, Richard
Berry, her sister Sue Brown in her hometown of Auburn, Ind., her sons Brian and Bruce Sellnow (Nancy), and her daughters Marcia Berry (Carl Schwedler) and Cheryl Berry. Dick and Judi have eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested supporting Judi’s legacy with a donation to the Yolo Crisis Nursery: https://yolocrisisnursery.org/give/. Send checks to Yolo Crisis Nursery, 1107 Kennedy Place, Suite 5, Davis CA 95616. Call 530-758-6680 for more information. The family will be holding a memorial service at a future date once conditions are more suitable for travel and attendance.
the community. Components include more widely available testing and contact tracing as well as a publichealth education campaign, all of which will be rolled out later this fall. Costs will be covered by the university as well as state and federal grants and philanthropy with no cost to the city itself, according to City Manager Mike Webb. “The fact that you are sharing a lot of these resources with the city is appreciated,” Councilman Brett Lee told UCD officials who presented the Healthy Davis Together plan to the council on Tuesday. “I’m quite impressed with the robustness of this program and the thoroughness,” added Mayor Gloria Partida. The plan, as laid out by Dr. Brad Pollock, chair of the public health sciences department in the UC Davis Medical School, is an incremental part of the larger effort that has been underway for months, aimed at safely reopening campus. That plan begins with rapid-result, saliva-based testing already being used as UC Davis students move this week into West Village and will continue as undergraduates move into campus residences beginning next week. All students will be tested prior to move in. Eventually the university expects to test all students and staff twice a week, Pollock said. The university will also have its own team of contact tracers as well as isolation and quarantine beds in a dorm designated for that purpose. All but about 30 courses will be taught online only. Meanwhile, a team of student health ambassadors has been hired to spread the public-health messages so critical to stopping the spread of the virus, namely, wearing face masks, social distancing and avoiding gatherings. UC Davis Chancellor Gary May said Thursday the ambassadors are “a unique aspect of what we’re doing.” “Rather than me and the administration saying, ‘Thou shalt not,’ we’re going to have peer
interaction, reminding students to put their masks on, keeping them distanced, helping them prevent gatherings,” May told the Enterprise. “We think that message will be better received from peers than from the administration.” But focusing on the campus alone is not enough, May noted. Conversations have been underway for a while between the university and the city, “sparked by the understandable concern of residents in the community about several thousand students returning to campus and the possibility of outbreaks,” he said. “We developed a plan that has components around technology, epidemiology and more importantly, modifying behavior,” said May. “Not just students but all community members.” That’s where the cooperation between the city and the university is essential, the chancellor said. “The city has to reinforce the same sort of messaging we use on campus.” Healthy Davis Together will be part of that, according to Diane Parro, the city’s director of community and business engagement, with plans for printed messages on signs around town as well as coordinated and targeted messaging via email, social media and more. Meanwhile, the contact tracing and testing resources on campus will eventually expand into the larger community of Davis, officials said. However, behavior modification will remain key. “You can never test your way out of an epidemic,” Pollock said. “It’s just one tool.” He noted the spike in coronavirus cases following Memorial Day weekend that had everything to do with people gathering and nothing to do with testing. “A lot of this project will focus on health education,” Pollock said of Healthy Davis Together. Incentives will be utilized as well, including gift cards purchased from Davis businesses that will be bestowed on students for good health behavior.

Richard Hoffman Jan. 8, 1925 — Dec. 26, 2019
Richard Hoffman died Thursday, Dec. 26, 2019. He was born Jan 8, 1925, to Edith and Sidney Greenberg in Chicago. In 1927, his mother married Chester Hoffman. He spent four years in the Navy during World War II, loading airplanes. He returned to Chicago, majored in market research at Eleanor Roosevelt College and worked various jobs after graduation. He met Carol Bernard in 1950, and they were married in 1952. He taught himself to make sandals, and opened Sandal Makers Shop in a semi-basement on the near North Side of
Chicago, taking orders at North and South Side fairs. He moved to Los Angeles in 1956, where his daughter Laura Sabra was born on April 14,1956. He made jewelry and was hired by the Los Angeles area Chamber of Commerce in 1965, retiring in 1992. He joined his daughter and son-in-law Mike Busch in Davis in 1995. Granddaughter Mackenzie Busch was born in 1995. He had German shepherd named Galatea and many kittens (his favorite was Ishtar); planted roses, took OLLI classes; loved his family; and was loved in return. He will be missed.

Prop. 15 will steady CA’s economy BY BETTY T. YEE Special to CalMatters
I
endorse Proposition 15 because it is critical to California’s long-term economic recovery strategy. As someone who grew up in a smallbusiness household and has served on the Board of Equalization and now as State Controller, I know the impacts and implementation of this measure matter. Our state, local governments and schools are reeling from declines in tax revenue, with no assurance of sustained federal financial relief to aid our recovery. Small businesses that are the backbone of local communities and economies have been subjected to reopenings in fits and starts. Minority owners have been hit the hardest as they continue to face the traditional barriers that existed prior to the pandemic. Widening inequality, persistent poverty and unaffordable housing have held back our state, even in prosperous times. During this COVID-19 economic crisis, we need bold reform that will begin to stabilize our economy while also addressing these long-term challenges. Prop. 15 is an important step forward in rebuilding our economy for the future, generating up to $12 billion per year for our nation’s most overcrowded physical and virtual classrooms, and our severely under-resourced local governments in handling the COVID-19 crisis. We need to invest in our schools, community colleges, local infrastructure, affordable housing and vital local services to rebuild our economy stronger than before the pandemic. Let’s start with small business. Prop. 15 provides a substantial tax cut to incentivize small-business investment. Studies show that the most expensive 10% of properties account for 92% of Prop. 15’s added revenue. Quite simply, small businesses will get much needed relief, and small-business owners can count on local governments being able to provide vital services such as regular street cleaning and maintenance, reliable transportation, and improved fire and emergency response times. Prop. 15’s benefits can serve as an anchor for a statewide small-business recovery strategy. We need to expand the capacity of Community Development Financial institutions and press for federal small-business assistance by, among other things, increasing the federal Community Development Financial institutions Fund and putting teeth into the Community Reinvestment Act, to increase incentives for investing in disadvantaged communities.
C
alifornia’s powerful corporate leaders and foundations need to make financial commitments to Community Development Financial institutions and fund other small-business initiatives. Together with Prop. 15, these steps could make a huge difference for struggling small businesses. I’ve also taken county assessors’ concerns about Prop. 15 seriously because I have seen firsthand how past reforms have placed burdens on assessors without providing the needed resources or support. This initiative can be successfully implemented. First, the measure empowers the Legislature to work with assessors, the Board of Equalization, and the State Controller on implementation. Second, it provides advance funding for counties to make preparations even before revenue from the reassessments is realized. Third, it provides an implementation phase-in to allow sufficient time for assessors to build the capacity for reassessing large commercial properties. I’ve already begun to prepare. My office is formulating plans for the workforce development needed to implement Prop. 15. We’ll aggressively expand workforce training for appraisal and auditing professionals, including remote learning to reach workers in every region of the state. We’ll recruit on our campuses to help on-board new graduates. We’ll coordinate the various state and county agencies that hire appraisers and auditors to maximize our resources for training and recruitment. We’ll need to make sure we are utilizing the latest technology for workforce training and implementation with attention focused on assisting small counties. I know the professionals in California’s assessors’ offices can implement Prop. 15 efficiently and uniformly, ensuring big corporate properties are assessed at fair market value — like in nearly every other state. Along with meaningful small business assistance and the development of assessment professionals, Prop. 15 will not only stabilize California’s economy, but provide the necessary impetus and focus on small business recovery and job creation. Let’s lift our schools and communities by supporting Prop. 15. — Betty T. Yee is the California state controller, Betty@bettyyee.com. She wrote this for CalMatters, a public interest journalism venture committed to explaining how California's Capitol works and why it matters.
Three for Council When Gloria Partida and I joined the City Council two years ago, we were fortunate to join a group of officeholders who don’t always vote the same way but are steadfastly committed to working respectfully and cooperatively with each other in the public interest. We have worked hard to keep that momentum going, moving the city forward together on fixing our streets and bike paths, promoting economic development, addressing homelessness and approving the affordable housing our community needs. My request to you as voters is to keep us on that same course by voting to re-elect Rochelle Swanson (after a twoyear break) and current incumbents Will Arnold and Lucas Frerichs to the Davis City Council. All three played a big role in creating the environment of caring, creativity and compromise that has made a positive difference for our city. An infectious spirit of compromise and respect for each other and, more importantly, for our residents, has enabled your City Council to act swiftly and take meaningful actions to: ■ Enact a moratorium on evictions to prevent more homelessness in the middle of shelter-in-place orders and defer utility bills for those struggling to cope with loss of jobs and underemployment. ■ Adopt $20 million in difficult city budget cuts and furloughs to offset funding lost due to the COVID recession while still finding ways to assist our local businesses and nonprofits. ■ Site a daytime homeless shelter and approve Paul’s Place. ■ Declare a climate emergency and enact cutting-edge “reach” codes for residential and commercial projects that disincentivize use of fossil fuels. Many of you undoubtedly recall the bad old days of councils beset by partisan factions and infighting. With the serious challenges we all face in the Age of COVID, we don’t have time for a return to that kind of distraction, bickering and nonsense. Your vote for Rochelle Swanson in District 5, Will Arnold in District 2 and Lucas Frerichs in District 3 will keep us on track responding to the needs of our citizens with deliberate, thoughtful and effective city governance. Dan Carson Davis City Council
Vote for Provenza Supervisor Jim Provenza is a proven leader for District 4. During his tenure on the Yolo County Board of Supervisors, he has established effective working relationships with local and regional leaders. Jim works collaboratively to reach win-win solutions on issues. He actively listens to all parties, never dismissive of constituents or community leaders. Let’s re-elect Supervisor Jim Provenza — he has our back. Elly Fairclough Davis
Elect Guenther I am not able to vote for Larry Guenther for City Council since I am not in his district but sincerely hope everyone who can does vote for him. I have known him for a long time and trust he has the right characteristics to represent you, namely ability to listen, trustworthiness, openness, hardworking and lack of an underlying personal agenda. Also, he’s likable! Jim Leonard Davis
Hyder has my vote Betsy Hyder is running for DJUSD School Board Trustee, Area 5. I have known Betsy for 13 years and know her to be a strong community member and active, engaged parent. Betsy has a deep commitment to serve others and to work with teachers, parents and students during these challenging times. She recognizes the diversity in our community and wants to help lead and work with others on

Dillan for City Council I support the talented, young, progressive activist Dillan Horton for City Council. He is the best candidate for the kind of council we need going forward. Over the past 53 years, I have been a resident of Davis; a student, a graduate and then an employee of our university, and a parent and stepparent of children who grew up in Davis. In 1972, I watched another young progressive political activist win election to the City Council. He, along with two other progressive, newly elected candidates, ushered in an era of change — change for the better for Davis. That era has continued to thrive and evolve over the ensuing decades. In 1972, Davis voted to change its leaders and its perspectives. It changed them because the times required those changes — changes to foster an environmentally friendly, sustainable quality of life, open to diversity and innovation. In 2020, Davis faces a new set of changes, changes we can no longer ignore. It’s time for new, bold leadership. We should, and we will, build more housing and more affordable housing in Davis. Shortage of housing is the most pressing, most immediate economic and ethical challenge facing our entire state. New state laws rightly require our city build its share of new housing. Justice and compassion for our UC students, whose huge debt spending drives our city’s economy, also demand that we do all we can to reduce their costs of residing in Davis. Over the past several years I have seen Dillan’s community activism up close. I believe he is the real deal. He has shown his abilities to work hard and effectively with everyone in our community — from his young peers to the most senior leaders in our community. Davis could not do better. I urge you to vote for him on Nov. 3. Richard Seyman Davis
Deos a great choice I live in Rancho Yolo, a senior community in East Davis, and I strongly endorse Linda Deos for County Supervisor. She has been incredibly responsive and informative for me in helping to engage and inform my community of seniors, and she will provide that sort of leadership that I think our county needs at this time. Linda is the forward-thinking, engaged and receptive leader that we need on our Board of Supervisors. In my many dealings with Linda, whether as an invaluable ear on senior issues, as a candidate for city council walking in my Rancho Yolo community, an attendee of the same rallies supporting progressive causes, an advocate for sustainable practices and transparent governance, an insightful and informed speaker at commission, council or board meetings, or a caring listener, she has been a forceful, energetic and welcomed presence.

We are in need of a new voice, a voice that will make room for those who have not been included in our county’s conversations. We need a new direction, one that includes all of our residents and neighborhoods, not just some. We need a supervisor who is engaged with and connected to her community. We need a representative who can lead us into the future, not keep us in the past. Linda has the voice, the leadership, the skills and the commitment to lead Yolo County. I urge you to vote for Linda Deos for county supervisor. Elizabeth Lasensky Davis
Vote yes on DISC New industrial space is needed in Davis. If the citizens of Davis should decide not to approve DISC, they can watch other communities greenlight tech parks, just as Woodland has. The tax revenue generated will go to a neighboring town, as our city suffers the impacts of development. The DISC project at buildout is projected to provide the city annual net tax revenue of $5.3 million as well as onetime fees of $113 million. Another $1.3 million will go to the school district. And there will be increased sales tax revenue, as DISC and the families housed there spend their hard-earned dollars in the downtown. Considering the city’s current budget problems, this funding would be a welcome lifeline. Detractors have complained about various things, such as a rushed project, that UCD leased property would pay no property taxes, it would result in an increase in traffic, it is not environmentally friendly, and on and on it goes. ■ First, this project has been in the works for many, many years. ■ Second, there is a provision in the developer agreement making sure the city loses no tax revenue on UCD leased property; ■ Third, there will be many traffic mitigation measures built into the project, not the least of which will be an electric shuttle bus; ■ Fourth, it will be the most environmentally friendly project in the city. ■ Fifth, local employment will be created at a time when jobs are scarce and very much needed. Voltaire said, “The best is the enemy of the good.” Shakespeare said, “Striving to better, oft we mar what’s well.” Let’s not let the search for perfection be the downfall of a very good project that would greatly benefit our city in so many positive ways. It is time to approve DISC on the November ballot. Vote yes on DISC. Elaine Roberts Musser Davis
A shout out to Davis teachers I attended Davis High School Back to School Night last week, a virtual event in keeping with the times. During one of my sophomore’s classes, the teacher, a 20-year veteran of the profession, paused mid presentation and stared into the camera. “I miss seeing them,” he said of his students. His sadness was palpable, a profound loss of what used to be normal, what used to be regular. As we struggle through these trying times, with the smoky air, the pandemic and constant need to push back on despair, I just want to send a shout out to all the teachers who are working so hard to keep the fabric of life from falling apart, who show up every day with energy and enthusiasm and try their hardest to make this work. I see you. Beth McMullen Davis

The play is available on BCTC’s homepage or by navigating to the “Radio Tuesdays” page via the right-hand-side menu. Previous radio plays are also available via the web page. Set in an unspecified time in the future, things are looking very different for clowns. After the Great Clown Panic of 2020, all clowns were rounded up and removed from society. In a rare interview with escaped clown Tractor Daniels, listeners have an opportunity to hear what it was like on the inside. One takeaway: excessive exposure to funhouse mirrors negatively impacts mental stability. BCTC’s latest radio play features Columbian-born actor

Virtual summer camps were a big success BY STACIE FRERICHS Special to The Enterprise
D
avis Arts Center’s building looks a bit quiet due to being closed due to COVID, but we’re still bringing arts to the community. This summer, more than 600 campers participated in our virtual summer arts camp, endearingly called “Art Camp in a Bag” by our staff. Each camper picked up a kit of art supplies and a project packet at Davis Arts Center and then either completed projects independently or joined a zoom session to ask questions, listen to ukulele music or just say hi to their friends during the week of camp. Arts Center staff had fun creating the projects, connecting the art history to the projects, and serenading the campers with the ukulele. Although we were sad to not host campers in our building, we ended up having a great time, serving the same number of campers in a typical summer. 2020 will be in our memories forever. Thank you, campers, for participating and helping keep the arts alive in Davis. We have also been continuing our weekly emails. We just passed 23 weeks of emails. We are taking two weeks off and are reformatting that email, making it available to the public for free starting Friday, Sept. 25. Our emails share some of the most creative and quirky content on the Internet. They include art projects and media selections to keep you engaged with the arts during COVID. Sign up on our website. We are also taking donations to help support the email and keep Davis Arts Center strong during our closure. Make a donation on our website and sign up for the email at the same

Of course, if you can support us at a higher level, that would be appreciated (and we thank those who have been since March). We would be proud to say 10% of Davis gives a few dollars a month because they care about their community Arts Center. Please help us reach this goal. Why is supporting a community arts center important? Besides the 60-year history of art experiences brought to Davisites of all ages, we are using this time to develop partnerships with other organizations in the county, which will extend our reach to new audiences. For instance, we are launching a program with First5 Yolo in which caregivers, kids and parents can learn an art project that enhances early-childhood development. We will be launching this program in October. Another program is with NAMI Yolo, in which we have

We are working with various PTAs, Davis School Arts Foundation and Davis Joint Unified School District to provide art for classrooms around the district. These plans are still being developed but I can’t wait to share more once the school year gets a little bit more underway. Please consider donating a recurring gift to Davis Arts Center to support these programs and more. Our website is

‘The Booksellers’: This documentary is a novel delight Bibliophiles will adore whimsical glimpse of New York’s book scene BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic An average person’s notion of a book collector, we’re told in director D.W. Young’s delightful documentary — available via Amazon Prime — is a middle-aged (or older) man in a tweed jacket with elbow patches, and a pipe. And a glass of sherry. Although some of the individuals profiled and quoted in this film fit that description, an equal number do not; indeed, one of the savviest next-gen rare book dealers is Rebecca Romney, a go-to expert on TV’s “Pawn Stars,” who has been in the trade since 2007. Like everybody else here, she’s enthusiastic and impressively articulate — and perhaps just a trifle unconventional. It goes with the territory. Aside from Romney and a few other geographical outliers, Young’s film spends most of its time in New York’s book world, with its assortment of obsessives, intellects, eccentrics and dreamers. The tone and atmosphere are unapologetically Big Apple, but the charm of Young’s approach is the ease with which he slips us into this scene. This film was made by book people, for book people: folks who use their dictionaries as door stops probably won’t last 10 minutes. But those of us who love walking into a home with a wall of stuffed
floor-to-ceiling shelves, and who always smile at the faintest whiff of that characteristic “old book smell,” are certain to enjoy this alternately fascinating and whimsical 99-minute journey. Actually, anybody with a collector’s mentality likely will see themselves in many of these folks. “The world is divided into people who collect things,” one dealer observes, “and people who don’t know what the hell these people are doing, collecting things. (They think) if you’re a collector, you’re just a sick, obsessive-compulsive person who would sell your grandmother to buy something you really like.” (Which could be true, in a few cases.) The film opens at the Park Avenue Armory’s annual Antiquarian Book Fair, the world’s largest event of its type, where more than 200 American and international dealers display a massive assortment of rare books, maps, manuscripts and ephemera in the realms of literature, art, medicine, photography, autographs, first editions and, well, honestly, I couldn’t keep track. Cinematographer Peter Bolte’s overhead view of the place is breathtaking. It’s somewhat appropriate that the massive building’s large clock long ago stopped working; as with Las Vegas casinos, the Book Fair evades any acknowledgment of time’s passage. Most of these folks don’t regard books as merely something to read. A book’s physicality is a slice of history that tells its own story: how and when it was bound and with what materials; what the author

Argosy Books — co-owned by, from left, Adina Cohen, Naomi Hample and Judith Lowry — is one of the few original bookstores remaining in New York City, from a time when dozens of similar outlets, on Fourth Avenue alone, prompted a section of that street to be called “Book Row.” may have written when inscribing it to somebody; the condition in which it was maintained and the degree to which it was cherished — distinctive characteristics wholly absent in a Kindle e-book. Although, as famed author and essayist Fran Lebowitz observes, having wandered through the Fair aisles, not everybody treats things with the proper respect. “I was surprised at how cavalier people were around the books,” she admits. “I saw a guy put a drink on a book. If he did that in my house, I’d kill him!” Lebowitz’s sardonic humor punctuates much of this film; she admits to being terrified by the thought of handling any of the most precious items. “One person did show me a book, even though I told her I cannot buy it. I’m afraid to even touch a book like that. I feel my life would turn into an O. Henry short story: Now I have to spend

all my money for the rest of my life, trying to pay you back for this thing.” It’s irritating, though, that Young fails to identify Lebowitz or many of the other on-camera folks who offer alternately informative and mordant observations. New Yorkers may recognize Lebowitz, Gay Talese, Susan Orlean and others, but most of this film’s viewers won’t have the faintest idea who’s speaking at a given moment. But that’s mostly true of the “color commentators.” Young does name many of the dealers profiled, such as Adina Cohen, Naomi Hample and Judith Lowry, the captivating sisters who manage the venerable Argosy Book Store, a sixstory townhouse founded by their father in 1925. It remains New York City’s oldest independent bookstore. Others include David
Bergman, “the smallest dealer with the biggest books,” referring to his focus on giant-size tomes; Justin Schiller, who specializes in children’s books; James Cummins, whose immaculate Madison Avenue location is the tasteful antithesis of the cozily disheveled atmosphere favored by others; and Stephen Massey, founder of Christie’s New York Book Department, who auctioned Da Vinci’s “Hammer codex,” the most valuable book ever sold. (It went to Bill Gates, on Nov. 11, 1994 — for $30,802,500.) The field’s history is explored via early pioneers, such as A.S.W. Rosenbach, dubbed by the French as “Le Napoléon des Livres” (“The Napoleon of Books”), who popularized the collecting of American literature at a time — in the
1920s and ’30s — when only European literature was considered collectible. Another marvelous detail: Researchers Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine B. Stern discovered that “Little Women” author Louisa May Alcott also wrote pulp fiction under the pseudonym A.M. Bernard. Young inserts a few sobering details, most notably the fact that New York City had 358 bookstores in the 1950s … and only 79 when this film was made. A wistful tone occasionally creeps in as some of these folks discuss their passion: a recognition that a door is closing, and might not open again. That’s a fear recognized by all bibliophiles these days, as brick-and-mortar bookstores disappear. (How have the sisters kept Argosy Books alive? Their father wisely purchased the building, way back in the day.) That’s why this film is both entertaining and essential, with its celebration of All Things Book. Give it a read. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http://derrickbang. blogspot.com. Comment on this review at www. davisenterprise.com.
