Yolo County moves to red tier
Lights out
In recent years, between 7,000 and 8,000 UCD students (nearly 20 percent of the undergraduate population) have enrolled in about 200 PE classes held annually, classes which range from archery to aquatics, soccer and racquetball to golf and rock climbing.
More businesses to reopen BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer
Established as an official major at a time in 1958 when the College of Letters and Sciences enrollment was creeping toward 1,000 students (compared to upward of 16,000 today), the PE department paved the way for the creation of Davis’ existing exercise biology and neurobiology, physiology and behavior (NPB) programs. Its graduates include current UCD head football coach Dan Hawkins, Cal Aggie Athletics Hall of Fame coach/administrator Pam Gill-Fisher and philanthropist Bruce Edwards, whose single-largest donation in UCD
Restaurants, gyms, churches and more will reopen in Yolo County as early as Wednesday now that the state has moved the county into the red Tier 2, the county’s interim health officer told the Board of Supervisors Tuesday morning. Capacity limits will be in effect for most indoor activities and social distancing and face coverings will be required. Sectors that previously reopened — including all retail and shopping centers — will be allowed greater capacity. Capacity rules for the red tier include: ■ Restaurants: open indoors with 25 percent maximum capacity or 100 people, whichever is fewer. ■ All retail, including shopping centers and malls: open indoors with 50 percent maximum capacity. ■ Personal care services (including skin care and cosmetology as well as tattoo and piercing): open indoors. ■ Places of worship: open indoors with 25 percent maximum capacity or 100 people, whichever is fewer. ■ Movie theaters: open indoors with 25 percent maximum capacity or 100 people, whichever is fewer ■ Gyms and fitness centers (including at hotels): open indoors with 10 percent maximum capacity. Additionally, K-12 schools in Yolo County can reopen after two weeks in the red tier, provided local school

UCD calls time on 100-plus years of physical education program BY OWEN YANCHER Enterprise staff writer It’s a program with origins that date to before World War I. But at the end of this year, the physical education program at UC Davis will cease to exist. Campus officials confirmed Monday that after a multi-year review, the university plans to eliminate its physical education course offerings at the conclusion of the 2020 fall quarter. In recent years, between 7,000-8,000 UCD students (nearly 20 percent of the undergraduate population) have enrolled in about 200 PE classes held annually, classes which range from archery to aquatics, soccer, racquetball to golf and rock climbing.

of its NCAA coaching staff to both undergraduate and graduate-level students. Nearly 30 lecturers will now lose their teaching positions as a result of the decision, including a handful of former coaches who have remained on staff in the PE department following their retirement from coaching at UCD.
traditional, podium-style lecture courses have included “Sport in American Society” and “Coaching Leadership and Drugs and Society,” among others. “This decision is not related to budget implications brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic,” UCD Director of News and Media Relations Melissa Blouin told The Enterprise. Blouin cited that “most Division I schools no longer offer PE courses.” She pointed to an already existing “selection of campus recreation activities” which students are “more likely to pursue” among the reasons for the program’s cancellation. Unique to most universities with Division I athletic programs, Davis offers for-credit PE classes taught by members
Historically, funding for those lecturer/coach salaries has been divided between the PE program and intercollegiate athletics. However, “contracts will (now) be adjusted so that coaches have a 100-percent appointment as a coach rather than having a split appointment between coaching and teaching,” according to UCD Athletics chief financial officer, Anissa Nachman. And while Nachman says the PE program elimination will shift nearly $1.2 million in salary obligations to the existing ICA budget, “a portion of the
Fortune running for 5th District council seat BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer There is much about Kelsey Fortune that says Davis. The Wisconsin native moved here seven years ago for graduate school and expects to complete her Ph.D. in economics in December, with the focus of her dissertation clean transportation policy, and clean energy vehicle rebates, in particular. There’s the car she doesn’t have and the bike she uses to get everywhere. And her continued service to a local nonprofit, Purple Tree Cafe, which provides employment to individuals with disabilities. She currently serves as executive assistant director. Now she’s added something else to the mix: Fortune is running for Davis City Council, hoping to represent South Davis in

the 5th District. She is one of four candidates seeking that seat in the November election. Fortune notes that she’s “a bit of an outsider in Davis politics,” but that she has been closely following several city commissions and their work, particularly the natural resources; utilities; and bicycling, transportation and street safety commissions, all of which, she said, “kind of overlap with the work I’m doing.” A concern she’s had, said Fortune, is a disconnect she sees between those commissions and the City Council. “Since I’ve started paying attention, it seems there is a lack of communication between the public and City Council and commissions and the City Council,” said Fortune. She cites the controversial BrightNight lease option agreement approved

About us 2020 Member
Aggie family loses beloved member R I ecently, I learned of the death of one of Davis’ cherished native sons, Tony Martinez, who was part of a pioneering local family that helped to make our town what it is today. The son of Andrea Peña and Jose Martinez, Tony died one day prior to his 81st birthday, though folks who knew him well swore he was at least 20 years younger. A superstar athlete at Davis High in football, basketball and track and field, Tony never lost his athletic ability over the years, winning many golf tournaments at Davis Muni after taking the game up at age 24 when his wife Phyllis gave him a set of clubs for Christmas. He never put those clubs down and had a full trophy case to prove it. After serving in the U.S. Army out of high school, then working at Hibbert and tending bar at The Club on G Street, Tony started a long and fruitful career with UC Davis athletics, where he managed all the playing fields, served as a mentor to

His principal job was the care of Toomey Field — the Toom as it became known — the site of UC Davis football for decades. It was a field that didn’t always drain well, which kept Tony busy seven days a week during the late fall when the rains came and the ever-improving Aggie football team began its regular march into the NCAA Division II playoffs. I remember in 1982 the Aggies had perhaps their best team ever under Jim Sochor, with Northern Michigan coming to town for a playoff game the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Davis police are investigating the theft of thousands of dollars’ worth of game cards, comic books and other items from a downtown business. The burglary at Bizarro World, 223 E St., occurred during the early-morning hours of Thursday, Sept. 24, when the still-unidentified suspect or suspects smashed a front window and made their way inside, according to Lt. Mike Munoz.
“They went through the window and stole as much as they could carry and ran,” owner Daniel Urazandi told The Davis Enterprise this week. Gone were numerous Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Magic trading cards, cleared from a glass display case inside the store. “They stole the more valuable sealed and loose cards as well as brand-new product in sealed boxes that was being released that week,” Urazandi said. Several video-game consoles and an empty black Casio cash register also was taken, the
king salmon swimming near the 50-yard-line. Yes, he had a wonderful sense of humor, a big heart and a fond nickname for everyone, and his kindness was such that there must have been a thousand
losses totaling more than $5,000. That weekend, Urazandi alerted other card and game stores in the region to the theft, asking them to keep an eye out for the stolen property in case the suspect tries to sell it elsewhere, but as of Tuesday hadn’t received an update. Urazandi also questioned whether Davis police are making the case a priority, noting that as of Tuesday an investigator hadn’t been assigned to it. “Does this mean a burglary is no longer a big deal in Davis?” he said. Munoz, the police lieutenant,
said that’s not the case. “We did take this seriously — we went out to the scene and collected physical evidence, and we’re evaluating where that evidence is going to take us next,” Munoz said. “This is a local Davis business, and these crimes are important to us.” Anyone with information about this burglary is urged to contact the Davis Police Department at 530747-5400. — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenterprise.net.

Dixon man admits to conspiring to bomb his brother A 33-year-old Dixon man pleaded guilty Monday to conspiracy and malicious use of explosive materials, U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott announced. According to court documents, Thomas Wayne Capenhurst offered to pay co-defendant Robert McGraw and another man $10,000 each to place pipe bombs at his brother’s house in Suisun City.
According to the plea agreement, on Feb. 17, 2018, McGraw walked to the front door of a home on Blue Jay Drive in Suisun City just before 1 a.m. and set one of the pipe bombs on the front porch. He lit the fuse and then ran. Afterwards, the pipe bomb detonated and blew the front door off its hinges. Pieces of metal shrapnel were lodged in the home’s exterior walls, and windows were broken nearby. Court documents state that
a family of five was active inside the home, having just returned from a trip to the Bay Area. This case is the product of an investigation by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Solano County Violent Crimes Task Force; and the Suisun City Police Department. Special assistance was provided by the Dixon Police Department, Fairfield Police Department,
Vacaville Police Department, Vallejo Police Department, Benicia Police Department, the Solano County Sheriff ’s Office, and the California Highway Patrol. Assistant U.S. Attorney Ross Pearson is prosecuting the case. A status conference has been set for McGraw on Oct. 5. Capenhurst is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Kimberley J. Mueller on Jan. 4, 2021. He faces a penalty of between five and 20 years
in prison, a $250,000 fine for malicious use of explosive materials and a maximum penalty of five years in prison and $250,000 fine for conspiracy. The actual sentence, however, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables.
Mosquito from invasive species found in South Davis park trap BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer An invasive mosquito species capable of transmitting Zika and other deadly viruses to humans has been found in Davis for the first time. An adult female Aedes aegypti mosquito was found in a trap at Pioneer Park in South Davis, according to the Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito & Vector Control District. This is just the second such mosquito ever found in Yolo County, with the first found two weeks ago in Winters by a lab technician conducting routine West Nile virus surveillance. “Upon the finding of invasive mosquitoes in
Winters this season, we knew the potential for detecting them in other areas was very likely,” said district manager Gary Goodman. “We are mobilizing staff and district resources to look for additional areas where mosquitoes might be breeding and limit their expansion,” he added. Since finding the Aedes aegypti mosquito in Winters on Sept. 15, field technicians have been conducting door-to-door inspections in that city looking for potential mosquito breeding sources, talking to residents about ways they can help eliminate mosquitoes on their property and conducting appropriate treatments as

Though it wasn’t part of his formal job description, Tony knew every athlete in every sport and called us all by name. And he was usually the first person whose advice we sought if we were encountering difficulties of any sort in our undergraduate education. Tony was part counselor and part best friend, and he always had time to hear you out and offer his blunt, but helpful assessment of your situation. Tony Martinez was loved by many and admired by all. And he returned that love tenfold to all who knew him. He will be dearly missed and cannot be replaced. He was, indeed, one of a kind. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davis enterprise.net.

inspect their yards daily and drain all sources of stagnant water. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is not native to California and unlike native mosquito species, it bites during the day.

TIER: Yolo County’s numbers show two weeks of progress From Page A1 districts, in consultation with county health officials, make the decision to do so. Seven private elementary schools in the county already reopened under waivers granted by the state and two more Yolo County schools have filed waiver requests, interim Public Health Officer Dr. Larissa May told county supervisors on Tuesday. Yolo County’s move from the purple tier to the red tier followed two consecutive weeks of meeting the threshold required for the less restrictive tier. On Tuesday, the county’s adjusted daily case rate was 3.1 and its test positivity rate was 2.5 percent. Both numbers actually meet the criteria for the even less restrictive orange Tier 3; however, Yolo County must remain in Tier 2 for three weeks before being allowed to move again. The county will also need to meet the orange tier criteria for two consecutive weeks before
moving. Doing so will require an adjusted new daily case rate between 1 and 3.9 and a test positivity rate between 2 and 4.9 percent. Activities allowed in the orange tier include indoor wineries with capacity limits; outdoor bars and breweries; and family entertainment centers like mini golf and batting cages. “If we continue to decrease our cases … the earliest we could move into the orange tier would be Oct. 20,” May told county supervisors. On the other hand, if the county’s metrics increase to the extent that both the daily case rate and test positivity rate meet the purple tier’s metrics for two weeks, the county could head back to the more restrictive tier. “I believe businesses would have three days (notice to close down),” May said. “It is a risk,” she said of a return to purple for Yolo County. “It may happen over the winter. We just don’t know.”
But May also said there isn’t much evidence to indicate that individual business sectors like those cleared to reopen this week are contributing to the spread of COVID-19 elsewhere in the country where they have been open. “It’s more people gathering and not adhering to our basic public health recommendations,” she said. Social gatherings remain the biggest challenge. “It’s been six months and humans are social beings and there’s lots of mental health considerations… so we have to be pragmatic and really help people figure out how can we do all this safely,” she said. As health officer, May has the authority to revise local health guidelines to match those of the state for the red tier, but she sought county supervisors’ input on Tuesday nonetheless. Supervisor Don Saylor of Davis noted that the return of thousands of UC Davis students combined with reopening local
businesses “could well lead to outbreaks in the city of Davis,” and asked May whether an individual community such as Davis could be separated from the rest of the county as far as allowing sectors to reopen. “Could the city of Davis have… less opening if they choose to do so?” Saylor asked. May replied that per the state’s rules, decisions are made on a countywide basis, but that individual cities could be more restrictive if they choose to be, essentially putting in the hands of the Davis City Council any decision on whether to restrict business reopenings here. The impact of the return of all those students remains unclear. The university tested all students moving into on-campus housing the last two weeks, but May said Tuesday that some of those students appear to have listed their home address — rather than their new campus address — on testing forms, which may mean results were allocated to their
PHYSICAL: Program was rarity at the D-I level From Page A1 athletics history primed the pump for Davis’ future 50,000-square-foot, $52 million Edwards Family Athletics Center. During the late 1950s, PE professor Dean Ryan contributed to the nationwide explosion of sports psychology through his studies on the psychological aspects of performance. Ryan would later help launch what was then the nation’s first sports psychology association: the North American Society for the Physiology of Sport and Physical Activity. He served as the organization’s president for a period and later in the same capacity for what is now called the Association for Applied Sports Psychology. Now in his fourth year patrolling the Aggie sidelines, Hawkins remembers his days in the program — one he recalls as theory and science-based. The former Aggie fullback calls himself one of many, many “people around the country who value what physical education can bring to the entire spectrum. “Not just (for) college,” Hawkins said, “but the entire spectrum of the human condition. “I don’t (know) why art, music and physical education, all these things that make up the human existence, have become extracurricular,” he added. “It’s tough. Time marches on. Schools evolve and academic programs evolve. It’s just hard ... to see people lose their jobs.” While internal figures from PE department classes in recent years paint a contrasting picture, also indicated among reasons for the program’s elimination was a “steadily declining enrollment in PE over the years.” The statement likely came as a shock to PE program director Barbara Jahn who earlier this year had pointed out that lecturers leaving or retiring from the program were not being replaced, even while campus enrollment swelled and classes remained popular. “Just because other schools might not offer academic credit for fitness classes, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t,” Jahn had said. “We’ve always been different and that’s part of what’s always made UC Davis stand out.”
Previous concerns Back in 2003, former chancellor Larry Vanderhoef angered many of Davis’ Academic Senate faculty members when he directed the UCD athletics program to make its move to the Division I level by joining the Big West Conference.
home counties rather than Yolo County. However, the university keeps a separate tally of positive cases among students and employees affiliated with the Davis campus and the latest update on Monday showed no significant increase in cases. Meanwhile, the county will be moving forward, allowing all of the business reopenings permitted in the red tier, May said. Local health guidance must be amended to do so and for some businesses that will be as soon as today. Other counties that moved from purple to red on Tuesday were Sacramento, Butte, Contra Costa, Fresno, San Joaquin and Santa Barbara, while three counties — Amador, Calaveras and San Francisco — moved to orange. — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@davisenter prise.net.

City offers after-school ‘Recess Time,’ training for babysitters BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer
COURTESY FILE PHOTO
UC Davis’ Vern Hickey gives golf instructions to, from left, Pat Hershberger, Shirley Ramsey, Pat McWilliams, Sally Curtis, Suzanne Ames and Maggie Orr during an Aggie physical education class during the 1950s. Hickey was a lecturer, coach and supervisor of physical education — among sundry other responsibilities. Weeks prior, the Academic Senate had voted 556-271 in opposition of the move, citing concerns that the campus would abandon many of its core academic values in order to be successful at the Division I level. When Vanderhoef defied its recommendation the Senate reconvened, later deciding to require that the eight principles of ‘The Davis Way” — the college’s commitment to historical values — be included in the administration’s filing to the NCAA to describe how UCD would run its intercollegiate-athletics program. Among those principles, on which the athletic department based its mission, the eighth and final foundational guideline included that “the athletics department at UC Davis must maintain a formal connection to the mission of the university, including preserving the current teacher/coach role.” Moreover, in a letter to the campus community following his decision, Vanderhoef noted the leap to Division I was “not about the coaches, the Intercollegiate Athletics administration, or Student Affairs suddenly being gripped with aspirations for “big time” athletics.
“Nor is it about “entertainment” or “business,” the chancellor went on. “Rather, we are seeking, in an evolving landscape, firm ground upon which to continue and enhance a program that is centered around the student-athlete and the teacher-coach. Our program is an uncommon model of intercollegiate sports (and) our plans to preserve it are similarly uncommon.” UCD Director of Athletics Kevin Blue on Tuesday said, “ICA has no control over these types of curriculum decisions, but the long tradition of PE and the coach-lecture model at UC Davis was certainly unique and it will be missed.” Going forward, the fifthyear AD wants coaches to remain broadly engaged with students. “And they’re eager to continue doing so,” Blue says. Notes: The decision to eliminate the PE program comes shortly after the launch of the Healthy UC Davis initiative — Davis’ branch of a systemwide UC
effort known as the Healthy Campus Network, aimed at promoting physical activity, health and both mental and emotional well-being. ... While UCD does offer a variety of alternative recreation options for students via its Campus Recreation arm, those activities generally come at a cost to students on top of their Activities and Recreation Center (ARC) memberships. Additional activity courses offered by the UCD physical-education department include: ab conditioning, aerobic bootcamp, aerobic running, aquatic boot camp, badminton, cardio/core fitness, field hockey, golf, Hapkido, interval weightlifting, Kokikai Akido, kickboxing, military conditioning, self-defense for women, soccer, swimming, tai chi, taekwondo, table tennis, tennis, track, Ultimate Frisbee, volleyball and water polo, among others. — Enterprise staff writer Caleb Hampton and sports editor Bruce Gallaudet contributed to this article.
Families looking for outdoor after-school activities can join Recess Time, a program created by the city of Davis that begins Oct. 5. Recess Time aims to provide kids with an opportunity for physical exercise and socializing in an outdoor environment using pods. Families can join an existing pod of kids or register with friends to create a new group. A minimum of eight children is needed to create a new pod and smaller pods will be combined with another existing pod. There are two different offerings: Monday and Wednesday from 3 to 4:30 p.m. and Tuesday and Thursday from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Both sessions will be offered at Community Park and Redwood Park. Social distance and safety guidelines will be followed and parents or guardians must be present at check-in during temperature screenings. To sign up, visit the City of Davis website at http://communityservices.cityofdavis.org and click on the “Online Registration” link and search for activity number 440000. You must have an online account set up to register online. For more information, contact Robert Larson at rlarson@cityofdavis.org
or 530-757-5626. The city is also offering babysitting training this fall. Classes will be held outside, weather permitting, and socially distanced with a 12-person maximum. Participants will be required to wear face coverings during class. Participants will learn skills and information to provide responsible care for children in this American Red Cross Babysitter training course for ages 11 to 15. Students will learn child and infant CPR, rescue breathing, choking rescue, preventing disease transmission and first aid.

Remembering a legacy of justice BY MARTY WEST Special to The Enterprise
W
e are here tonight in Davis Central Park to celebrate the life of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She has always been a part of my professional life and our lives have intersected many times. I will miss her. In fall 1971, when I was beginning my second year of law school at Indiana University in Bloomington, Ruth argued and won her first case in the U.S. Supreme Court. The case was Reed v. Reed, and she convinced the court to rule, for the first time, that a sexbased classification in a law violated the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. The Supreme Court ruled that Idaho’s law automatically preferring a father over a mother as the executor of a child’s estate was unconstitutional. In the fall of 1972, when I was a third-year law student, I went to a conference at Yale on how to create a law school course on Women and the Law. Ruth was there with her co-author Herma Hill Kay, law professor at UC Berkeley. They were the first ones to publish a law school textbook
LETTERS Provenza cares I have known Jim Provenza for a number of years; he is a person of great integrity. When I have discussed policy issues with him, I have always been impressed with his depth of knowledge and commitment to doing the right thing for the people of Yolo County. Jim first ran for County Supervisor during the depths of the great recession. He has done a great job navigating the financial tight rope that Yolo County continues to face during our COVID19 pandemic era. Jim believes that a strong community starts by caring for our most vulnerable. Families of young children especially hit hard by the pandemic, public safety staff, single work-from-home parents and dozens of workers are finding themselves in a childcare crisis. Jim helped obtain money from the county and community funds to help provide childcare to those impacted by COVID-19. Jim has been in the forefront supporting many programs to shelter the homeless in our community. Please join me in supporting his re-election for county supervisor for the 4th District.

Horton for District 2 We write as two generations of Davis voters to express our support for Dillan Horton and to encourage our District 2 neighbors to cast their city council vote for Dillan. We celebrate Dillan’s commitment to represent a broad and important array of Davis voices: ■ Dillan identifies as a young, gay, black man. He lives by Marian Wright Edelman’s teaching that, “You can’t be what you can’t see.” He serves to be a model for others, exemplifying the kind of inclusive leader that Davis needs. ■ Like so many Davis residents, Dillan is a UCD grad. While at UCD, he served as ASUCD’s director of university affairs and spearheaded the creation of the Office of Advocacy and Student Representation. ■ As a community college transfer student and a longstanding renter, Dillan recognizes the challenges, choices and opportunities that face the youths of our
on Sex-Based Discrimination. As the founder of the ACLU Women’s Rights Project in New York in 1972, Ruth had been pleased with the result in Reed v. Reed, but really wanted the court to find that a sex-based classification created a “suspect class,” mandating the highest level of judicial review, the same level of review given to a classification based on race. So Ruth tried again. In 1973, Ruth argued Frontiero v. Richardson, involving a woman in the Air Force and her right to claim dependent’s benefits for her husband. The Court ruled in Ruth’s favor, and she got four members of the Court to agree with her that a sex-based classification created a “suspect class” subject to the most stringent judicial review. However, she did not get that fifth vote needed to adopt the higher standard. That same year, 1973, I published my student law review article on the sex-based classifications in the Social Security system. I cited a lower-court case, then pending, brought by Ruth and the Women’s Rights Project: Weinberger v. Wiesenfeld. That case challenged the denial of any father’s benefits when a mother,
town. He also understands the wide range of experiences encountered by thousands of UCD undergrad and graduate students who call our town home. ■ Dillan was a founding member of the Davis Police Accountability Commission — initially serving as vice-chair and now leading the Commission as its chair. He has been active in the struggle to achieve racial justice and to raise awareness of systemic inequities in our town, our nation and our systems of justice. ■ While not campaigning, Dillan works at Progressive Employment Concepts providing employment services to individuals with developmental disabilities. In this role, Dillan’s advocacy and empathy is extended to two overlapping populations — those who are in need of gainful and meaningful employment, as well as those with developmental disabilities striving to be valued and contributing members of their communities. As we approach November 2020, we recognize that we are at a crossroads. We need to elect civic leaders who model a commitment to speak the truth; who live in service of justice and inclusion; and whose actions inspire us to invest time and build relationships necessary for successful change to occur. For all of these reasons, please join us in voting for Dillan Horton for Davis City Council. Arieh, Shani and Mark Simon Davis
I trust Will Arnold We have an opportunity to reelect Will Arnold to the Davis City Council, and I hope you will join me in supporting him. Born and raised in Davis, Will is a man who can be trusted and who upholds the ideals and values of our community. During his term, Will has served the people of Davis with integrity, honor, thoughtfulness and distinction. By all accounts and measures, he is a model representative of Davis. And I believe representation matters. For those of you who don’t know Will, he’s the guy on City Council with very short arms. Will was born with HoltOram Syndrome, a genetic condition that affected his heart and the growth of his arms. As someone living with a disability myself, I am proud to have Will Arnold representing me in elected office. He is the only

COMMENTARY covered by Social Security, died leaving young children. Ruth won the case before the Supreme Court in 1975, and the court actually cited my law review article in the footnotes! Ruth’s genius was demonstrated by her decision in these two cases to pursue fact patterns where striking down the sex classifications would benefit men, not women. Arguing before nine men on the Supreme Court, she wanted to find examples they could identify with. She continued to follow this policy throughout the 1970s. In 1976, I was the treasurer of the Equal Rights Amendment campaign in Indiana. We were the last state to ratify the ERA before the time expired, leaving the amendment three states short. Our ERA campaign got financial and other support from the ACLU Women’s Rights Project in New York, still headed by Ruth Bader Ginsburg. In 1980, Ruth was appointed by President Jimmy Carter to the federal Court of Appeals, joining the District of Columbia Circuit.

Education leaders After an intense and informative debate among candidates at the virtual Yolo Committee for Diverse and Inclusive Elections forum this past Saturday, I endorse the following candidates: ■ Vigdis Asmundson for DJUSD Board of Education (at large). She has shown her impressive experience professionally and personally, as a long time educator and through her involvement in our local community. She was raised in Davis and has a 20-year experience as a teacher. Her opponent is not from Davis. ■ Cecilia Escamilla-Greenwald for DJUSD Board of Education (Area 5). She is a parent and advocate for students of color and disabilities. She has been a community activist and has three children attending DJUSD schools, while her opponent sends her child to a private school. ■ Kelly Wilkerson for Los Rios Community College District Board of Trustees. Not only has her invaluable experience as a Davis high school teacher cultivated young journalism students, she has a head start in her
In 1982, I joined the faculty of the UC Davis Law School. Justice Ginsburg took her seat on the U.S. Supreme Court in 1993. In 1994, I received an invitation from Professor Herma Hill Kay, then dean of the UC Berkeley Law School, to join her as co-author of the law school textbook, “Sex-Based Discrimination.”
H
erma had been producing new editions by herself ever since Ruth had gone on the federal bench in 1980, but Ruth had been urging her for some time to get help. At some point, Ruth sent me a note, thanking me for agreeing to be Herma’s co-author. Herma and I published three more editions of the textbook over the next 12 years. In 1996, Justice Ginsburg authored the Supreme Court opinion in U.S. v. Virginia, finding that the exclusion of women from the Virginia Military Institute, a public university, violated the Equal Protection Clause. She relied on all those cases she had litigated in the 1970s overturning sex-based classifications and got as close as she could to “strict
knowledge of ballot measures by attending open Trustee meetings and of budget planning from her deeply-involved community activism — while her opponent distinguishes himself only as a water resource attorney. The choices are clear. We need these women to represent our schools and make decisions for our kids and our community. Let’s vote for leadership by women; let’s vote for inclusivity. Audrey Pan Davis
Swanson and Frerichs I write to express my strong support for Council candidates Lucas Frerichs and Rochelle Swanson. I’ve known and worked with Lucas and Rochelle in civic and professional contexts, both within our city and beyond it. Both demonstrate the type of leadership that I believe our community needs: thoughtful, collaborative and committed. Lucas, through his eight years on Council, has been an exceptional advocate for the city of Davis across the greater Capital Region, including as the current Chair of the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG). During the Downtown Plan Advisory Committee (DPAC) process, which I chaired, Lucas was a fully informed and consistently thoughtful source of ideas and advice about how best ensure that the final plan truly reflected the community’s needs and priorities.

scrutiny” of a “suspect class.” She labeled the level of judicial review as “skeptical scrutiny” for sex-based classifications. Five other Justices joined her majority opinion. In 2006, I was in Washington, D.C., on sabbatical. I called up Justice Ginsburg’s office and asked if I could sit in on a couple of oral arguments. I got to sit in the “family” section of the chambers, in Marty Ginsburg’s seat, and after the first set of oral arguments, the guard escorted me up to Justice Ginsburg’s office. We had a very pleasant 15-minute conversation. That was the last time I saw Justice Ginsburg. I retired from the law school in 2007, and retired from teaching gender-and-law in women’s studies in 2012. But, of course, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg never retired. In the 1970s, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was responsible for developing the law of constitutional Equal Protection which has benefited all of us ever since. We owe her our deepest gratitude. — Marty West is a professor emerita of law at the UC Davis School of Law.
On two larger projects, Lucas stayed true to his pre-Council priorities and contributed to the lengthy processes of founding and launching both Valley Clean Energy as well as the Woodland Davis Clean Water Agency. Throughout, and especially in the most potentially contentious situations, Lucas consistently shows up with constructive, thoughtful, and principled perspectives. Rochelle, likewise, has a strong track record of public service based on her prior position on Council from 2010 to 2018. She is a respected voice across the region on behalf of our city, and consistently engages on our most pressing issues. She served through the difficult early years of the great recession and brought consistent focus to economic and fiscal sustainability in the city — which has unfortunately again become muchneeded experience, given the economic impacts of the pandemic. When I think of Rochelle, her energy, intellect and compassion are what first come to mind — and she brings them to every matter with which she’s involved. I hope that our City Council of 2021 will count both Lucas and Rochelle among its members. The characteristics they offer are those that we need in all of our elected representatives, whether at the local, state, or federal levels, and, especially, in these challenging times.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 A5
And the feast goes on ... BY ANN M. EVANS AND GEORGEANNE BRENNAN Special to The Enterprise In Provence, French villages have a long tradition of presenting “Le Grand Aioli” as a late summer communal event. Long tables are set up in the village square or lined up down a blocked-off thoroughfare. Traditionally, friends and family gather together to welcome visitors and strangers alike to a noontime feast, served family style. Guests arrive with baskets on their arms, laden with their own tableware, utensils and linens needed to set their place at the village table. A grand aioli is both a dish and an event. The meal centers around aioli, a garlic mayonnaise redolent with local olive oil, accompanied by a plethora of steamed vegetables, including small potatoes, green beans, carrots, beets and hard-cooked eggs. Instead of the classic addition of salt cod or snails, we serve lamb. Bottles of wine and baguettes line the tables, allowing everyone to help him or herself. As the bottles empty and the bread is reduced to only crumbs, more bottles and loaves appear. Dessert comes next, most often pastries from a local boulangerie. A communal aperitif precedes these village feasts where simple appetizers such as local nuts and olives are served along with wine and Pastis, the licorice flavored aperitif of Provence. In bringing it to Davis in Northern California some 24 years ago, we decided to substitute our plentiful lamb for the traditional fish, but kept the vegetables and egg accompaniments intact. We decided also to start the meal off with platters of juicy, ripe tomatoes, dressed with olive oil and basil, to celebrate our tomatoes, and to finish with a sweet, rustic tart featuring local fruit such as apples or pears, or stone fruits such as peaches or nectarines. Of course, Northern California has an abundance of award-winning wines to choose from to accompany the meal and plenty of artisan bakeries for baguettes. When we first introduced this meal in Davis, some 300 people would gather in late summer in Central Park, under the shade of the Sycamore trees, around one large table covered with white linen cloths. Guests brought their own best place settings and cloth napkins. The tables were festooned with olive branches and seasonal fruit, such as pears. Little bowls of salt, loaves of bread and bottles of olive oil added to the décor in both a decorative and practical way. For your at-home Village Feast decorations, consider featuring olive branches, rosemary or bay branches or simply a jar of flowers from your garden. Try crushing some black pepper corns in a mortar pestle and putting the fresh cracked pepper on the table in a bowl accompanied by a small bowl of sea salt. This year, Les Dames
D’Escoffier, Sacramento and Davis Farmers Market Farm-to-School, are holding their Village Feast Grand Aioli in the fall, virtually, in a COVID- safe manner. The event will be Oct. 17. Participation is welcome to all. For more information, contact info@davisfarm toschool.org or visit https://the villagefeast2020.eventbrite.com to register. Recipes (to serve 4 to 6 people) and ingredients follow to help you create your own grand aioli celebration in the safety of your own home. The Davis Food Co-op is displaying featured wines to go with this meal. Farm Fresh to You has meal box kits and aperitif box kits available for delivery. Apéritif: Start light, with roasted almonds and walnuts, some cured olives, and, if you want a bit more, some charcuterie or cured meats with bread or crackers. Rosé wine pairs nicely with this. Here is a recipe for walnuts, but we often serve them raw if we have too much else to do to get the meal on the table. Starter: Typically, we serve a platter of sliced, fresh heirloom tomatoes garnished with basil to begin the meal. Hold the aioli as it comes out with the main meal. If you can’t find heirloom tomatoes, just skip this course and move straight to the main attraction. Main Meal: We’ve roasted the vegetables here to give them a sweet and caramel flavor and boiled the potatoes and eggs as is done traditionally. You can add some boiled, fresh green beans to this, or roasted beets, for additional seasonal vegetables in your meal. The meal can be served on a single platter, with the vegetables, hard-boiled eggs (peeled and halved) and fish or meat cut into serving sizes. You can also have a platter of the grilled vegetables, a bowl each for the potatoes and eggs, and a platter for the fish or meat, with an herb garnish such as tarragon for the fish and rosemary for the meat (such as lamb or chicken). The aioli is served in its own bowls, or several for the table, with a large spoon for generous helpings. — Ann M.

Grilled Vegetables Ingredients: 1 each: green, yellow, orange and red bell peppers, seeded and sliced 1 large globe eggplant, sliced crosswise a scant ½-inch thick extra-virgin California olive oil sea salt basil for garnish, optional Putting it together: Prepare a medium-hot fire in a wood or charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. Brush both sides of each eggplant slice with olive oil and sprinkle both sides lightly with salt. Place the eggplant slices on the grill rack directly over the fire and

cook until golden brown on the first side, about 5 minutes. Turn and cook on the second side until golden-brown and tender, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer to a platter. In a bowl, toss the sliced peppers with about 2 tablespoons olive oil to coat evenly. Add a little salt and toss again. Transfer the pepper strips to a metal grill pan or basket, place directly over the fire and cook, stirring often if using a grill pan or turning often if using a basket, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to the platter with the eggplant. Garnish with basil leaves, if using.
White Bean Salad Though not a classic part of a Grand Aioli, we’ve added a white bean salad here for vegetarians who might be at your table, and want a main dish with protein, but it is a salad in the French tradition. Use a firm-fleshed white bean like Cannellini or Cassoulet. This is a simple salad with freshly cooked dry beans, vinegar and oil, herbs and salt and pepper. One pound of beans makes 6 cups of cooked beans; so, if you don’t want leftovers, cut this recipe in half. Increase the herbs to your taste. Cooking dried beans gives a great flavor and you can control the amount of salt and sugar that is in the final product, however, if you are running short on time, use canned white beans. Drain them well and rinse thoroughly with water. Let them dry prior to using. Ingredients: ½ cup extra-virgin California olive oil 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar 3 tablespoons minced fresh chives 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 pound dried beans (will make 6 cups cooked beans), cooked ½ cup flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped ½ red onion, chopped (optional) Putting it together: In a large mixing bowl, mix all the ingredients together except the beans and parsley. Add the beans, parsley and onion, if using. Mix well. Taste for correction. Let stand at room temperature one hour for the flavors to blend.
Beans If you haven’t tried this before, perhaps now is a good time. It is easy and the beans have a better texture and flavor this way.
Adding broth, seasonings and herbs from the garden, like rosemary or thyme; or vegetables like onion, garlic or carrots will make beans more flavorful. We, however, tend to keep it simple. Ingredients: 1 pound dried beans, picked over and rinsed 1 bay leaf Sea salt Putting it together: We soak our beans overnight and if we can’t, we soak beans for 4 to 6 hours. (If you don’t have time to soak the beans, don’t fret. Either soak them for one hour in boiling water or cook them unsoaked, knowing it will take a bit longer.) In a large pot over medium-high heat, add beans and fresh water. You can use their soaking water if you want but taste it first. The water should cover beans by a couple of inches. Add bay leaf. Bring the pot to a hard boil. Cook for 10 minutes, and then reduce heat to a gentle simmer before covering. Open and close the lid occasionally, or keep it ajar, to help control heat and allow some evaporation. Bean broth will taste best if it has a chance to breathe and reduce a little. After about an hour, start checking beans for doneness. If the broth starts getting low, add boiling water to keep beans completely covered. Once beans are nearly tender, add salt. Go easy at first, and taste beans after a bit more cooking; it takes a while for them to absorb salt.
Rosemary and Garlic Grilled Lamb Chops Ingredients: 6 to 8 lamb loin or rib chops, thick cut 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced, plus rosemary sprigs for garnish, optional 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper zest of one lemon, plus lemon slices for garnish, optional ¼ cup extra virgin California olive oil Putting it together: Combine the garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper, zest and olive oil in a bowl large enough to hold the chops. Mix thoroughly. Add the lamb chops and toss to coat. Cover and place in the refrigerator for an hour or overnight. Grill the lamb chops on medium
heat for 7 to 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 135 degrees. Add the lemon slices, if using for garnish, to grill in a basket for a minute to brown. Allow the lamb chops to rest on a plate covered with aluminum foil for 5 minutes before serving. Place chops on a platter, garnish with sprigs of rosemary and lemon slices.
Aioli Aioli is regarded as simple to make but achieving the proper consistency can sometimes be a challenge. Although the technique is time-consuming, adding the oil one drop at a time is essential to achieving a good result. An easy facsimile for aioli is a mix of some crushed garlic with regular mayonnaise plus a little lemon juice. Ingredients: 3 cloves garlic ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt 2 egg yolks* ½ to ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil ½ to ¾ cup grape seed or canola oil Putting it together: To make the aioli, in a mortar pestle, crush the garlic with the salt until a paste forms. Set aside. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they turn a pale yellow, about 5 minutes. Add the olive oil, a drop at a time, while whisking constantly. Keep adding the oil a drop at a time and whisking constantly until the mixture begins to thicken, 8 to 10 minutes. At this point, you will have added about ½ cup of the oil. Now you can begin adding the oil in a slow, thin, steady stream while continuing to whisk vigorously. When the mixture is the consistency of mayonnaise, you can stop adding oil. Whisk in the garlic mixture until evenly distributed. If the mixture begins to separate, or “break,” while you are whisking in the oil, begin again with another egg yolk in a clean bowl, whisk it until it is pale yellow, and then add the broken oil-egg mixture to the new egg yolk, a drop at a time, until the egg yolk thickens. This can be done up to two times if necessary. You should have about ¾ cup aioli. Cover and refrigerate until serving. * Raw egg is not recommended for infants, the elderly, pregnant women, people with weakened immune system … or people who don’t like raw eggs. Use pasteurized egg yolk instead if this is a concern. Or, use the facsimile recommended in the head note.
Knowledge, perspective and wisdom take time
I
am reading “The Room Where it Happened” by John Bolton. Among other things, it is an account of Ambassador Bolton’s tenure as National Security Adviser in the White House. With 494 text pages (plus another 77 pages of notes and an index) the book devotes about one page per day of his 17-month tenure. Though I am well into the book, I still have quite a way to go, but it is a fascinating read. Now, like many of leftist bent, I have always assumed Ambassador Bolton to be a right-wing ideologue and flame-throwing warmongering hawk who at best is a threat to the nation and at worst a global bomb ticking to explode. I have changed my view. He has a rigorous education, deep experience as a lawyer, knows Washington inside-out and has many years of public service under three presidents starting with Ronald Reagan. With this background, he brings intellectual rigor to his analyses and a stern moral compass that
points unerringly towards protecting American interests. And so although American withdrawal from the Paris climate accord and the Iran nuclear deal (among other things) previously astonished me with its audacity and foolhardiness, I can see now a reasonable positive argument for those actions based essentially in their ultimate ineffectualness. Interesting turnaround for me. What this boils down to is knowledge and perspective gained by experience over time and, in many places, distilled as wisdom. No wonder wise people are often portrayed as old. As usual, brewing and beer gives us an example of this. Suppose a young person reaches the legal age for drinking in 2020. Perhaps a college student. He or she looks out on the world of alcoholic beverages and sees a great variety of products to suit every taste in beers, ciders, seltzers and even wines and whiskeys and other beverages
market with a few domestic makers. Thus a vigorous and dynamic industry is revealed, not with a momentary contemporary inspection, but over many years of study and in many places. What this boils down to is knowledge and perspective gained as experience over time.
and could be forgiven for thinking this was always so and that the beverage market is stable, even fixed. He or she would be wrong. A 40-year old looking back on 20 drinking years would remember a more restricted marketplace, maturing but with limitations. A 60-year old with 40 years of recollection would see a beer world with craft beers barely emerging and ciders and seltzers not available. An 80-year old with 60 years of observation would know a beer world where many regional breweries were being purchased and closed by the growing national brands that, during his tenure, would grow to dominate the entire
I
have recently heard residents complain that Davis is a no-growth city and that those who oppose the Ramos DISC project and Measure B are typical stuck-in-the-mud nogrowth disciples. They argue that the project will be built somewhere so (whether it be a worthy project or not) why not build it here and now? It depends on your knowledge and perspective gained over time. Many Davis residents have a perspective of this city that matches the 80-year old’s view of the beer market. And that perspective argues intensely against the idea of no growth. Back then Davis stretched roughly to Sycamore in the west
to maybe L Street or Pole Line Road in the east. There was not much north of 14th Street nor south of the freeway — and there was not yet a completed freeway. The population was maybe shy of 4,000 souls. Look at Davis now and tell me it is a no-growth city! What we must protect are good and worthy projects and be smart enough and rigorous enough in our examination of all proposed projects to assure that only worthy ones take root. Perhaps by accident, I was included on an e-mail exchange that summarized the arguments in support of the Ramos 200acre DISC project and Measure B. I assure you that all the mitigating assurances to assuage traffic problems and reduce carbon emissions (among other things) are flim-flam that would not pass John Bolton’s laugh test. — Reach Michael Lewis at lewiswales@me.com.

FORTUNE: Housing, safety on line ASMUNDSON: Looking From Page A1 given housing proposal, “I really do believe that if people feel they’re being heard and their concerns being addressed, that they’re going to be more willing to collaborate and compromise on things like the height of a building or location (of a facility). “If they get to be a part of it, everything is going to be a lot smoother,” Fortune said. It will definitely be more work, she added, “but it’s worth it, because what we’re supposed to be doing is representing the Davis voters, the Davis population, the people who live here and if they don’t feel that they have a voice, then we’re not doing our jobs.” One thing the people of Davis definitely need is more housing, Fortune said. “That needs to be a focus of the city.” Fortune said she would like to see more projects like University Commons and fewer like the Davis Innovation and Sustainability Campus. University Commons, she said, “is taking land that’s currently in the city and redeveloping it into something that is more appropriate for today. “Strip malls are not the landscape of the future, but mixed use with apartments and commercial retail space and potentially office space, that is the direction I would like to see Davis move,” said Fortune. Putting housing next to campus takes students out of their cars and frees up single-family homes and apartments further away from campus, she added. “I’m not talking about
putting six story buildings in the middle of old east Davis, but we do need to think about moving people closer — two-story buildings, doing something tiered at three or four stories, so that we can house more people in those areas without changing the overall landscape of those neighborhoods.” But decisions about housing — as well as everything else the city does — need to be made with climate change in mind, said Fortune. “When we’re thinking about building a lot more housing, which I absolutely think we need, we need to be making those additions in our community in a way that is going to decrease the amount of vehicles on the road, not increase them,” said Fortune. “That’s why University Commons is a fantastic project. I know there are concerns about height for the neighborhood and that’s a conversation we can have about whether it needs to be seven stories or we can get it a little shorter, but that’s a project that’s going to get people out of their cars. “Whereas if we look at DISC, I can’t see the same thing,” said Fortune. “This project isn’t focused on housing. It does have some, but it’s focused on creating space for utilizing human capital built at the university, which I think is an awesome idea. But it’s very car centric. “You’re talking about (thousands of ) people driving there to work every day. You’re talking about people driving from West Sacramento, driving from Vacaville or Woodland or Dixon because there’s no way we
can house that many people here. “If DISC were paired with enough housing to actually house their workforce … that’s something that I might be willing to look at. But the way it is, so much of our emissions come from transportation and we need to be correcting for that. “Development and our climate goals definitely need to go hand in hand,” said Fortune. Another key issue for Fortune is public safety. “I would like to see a department of public safety that houses police and fire but also homeless services, victim services, mental health services that are just as integral to public safety,” said Fortune. “I would like to see a shift of funding toward people and prevention-based public safety as opposed to policing,” she said. “There are people who are better trained to deal with someone who is unhoused or going through some sort of mental health crisis and we should be putting those people into those situations, to handle the situations.” The bottom line for Fortune on all of the issues and decisions facing the city of Davis remains the need for more communication between residents and leaders and harnessing the greater wisdom of the community in governing. “I am listening to the community and I am learning what needs to happen and I’m ready to lead Davis in that direction,” said Fortune. “We need that leadership to get us where we want to be..” Learn more at https:// www.kelseyfortune.com.
OBITUARIES Cary Childs Boyden Feb. 20, 1945 — Sept. 11, 2020
On Friday, Sept. 11, Cary Childs Boyden, loving husband, father, grandfather and friend, passed away peacefully in his home in Davis from pancreatic cancer at the age of 75. Cary was born on Feb. 20, 1945, in Greenfield, Mass. to John and Evelyn Boyden. He grew up in the small town of Deerfield in western Massachusetts and attended Eaglebrook School and Deerfield Academy before graduating from Harvard with honors and obtaining his law degree from Georgetown University where he was an editor of the Georgetown Law Journal. Cary came from a long line of scientists and educators, including Seth Boyden, the inventor of patent leather, Uriah Boyden of the Boyden Observatory and Frank L. and Helen Childs Boyden of Deerfield Academy. However, Cary chose a different path and embarked on a 45-year legal career in Northern California where he specialized in commercial and equipment financing. During a good portion of this time, he was a partner of Boyden, Cooluris & Saxe as well as Pillsbury Madison & Sutro, now an international law firm. Among his other accomplishments, he was for decades a nationally prominent expert on vehicle leasing law beginning with his instrumental role as an architect of the Consumer Leasing Act passed by Congress and the subsequent regulations issued by the Federal Reserve Board, all of which remain the law today. A lifetime fisherman, Cary landed the catch of his life on April 20, 1975, by marrying Suzanne Ball of Fort Worth, Texas. The two settled in Davis and raised three
children, Benjamin, Kathleen and Nathaniel. Outside of his law practice and family life, Cary was passionate about fly fishing. He began fly fishing in the streams and rivers of New England before taking his ardor with him to the waters of the West Coast. A member of the Fly Fishers of Davis since the late 1970s, Cary built a rich network of friends and like-minded anglers intent on promoting the art of fly fishing, catching (and releasing) fish, and the conservation of our natural resources. Late in his angling career, Cary specialized in stillwater fly fishing. He details the methods he used on the waters of Northern California in the technical fishing biography, “Random Thoughts of a Dark-Sider.” Whether he was practicing law, helping to raise his children or gone fishing, Cary was known as a simple, direct, honest and special man. He was fond of extolling the purpose to “leave the world in a better place.” Through the hearts and minds of those he knew, Cary did just that. Cary is preceded in death by his father and mother, his sister, Kathleen and his oldest son, Benjamin. He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Suzanne, his daughter Kathleen Stacy (husband Christopher), his son Nathaniel (wife Anne), and his five beloved grandchildren: Blakely and Boyden Stacy, and Lilah, Violet and Jonathan Boyden. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made to the Nature Conservancy, Casting for Recovery or a charity of your choice. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date when conditions are more befitting of travel, handshakes and hugs.
Marilyn Lee Vaughn Feb. 8, 1935 — Sept. 22, 2020
Marilyn Lee Vaughn passed away very peacefully at Gloria’s Country Care in Woodland. After being diagnosed with congestive heart failure and pneumonia (old age), Marilyn spent a couple of days in hospice care at Gloria’s, being visited by grandchildren and listening to her son read “Chicken Soup for the Soul.” She was born Marilyn Lee High to Lee Marie (Cottle) and Julias Edward High on Feb. 8, 1935, in Tulsa, Okla. Her mother died when Marilyn was 13 of leukemia. She was then adopted by her aunt, Velma (Cottle) and uncle, Ben Musick, in Kingfisher Okla. Marilyn attended Oklahoma University where she got her nursing degree. She worked as a registered nurse until she left her profession to raise her children, Audrey, Ben and Joe. She and her husband Neil Vaughn moved to Davis in 1961 with then-young Audrey and Ben. Joe came along in 1967 to the boisterous, bed-jumping response of
Audrey and Ben. Neil became a well-loved doctor to the small town of Davis and UC Davis students. Marilyn, progeny and community were robbed by his premature death in 1985. Marilyn remained “married” to Neil for the rest of her life. She was active in a variety of local and national organizations and spent the last half of her life as “Gramme” to Ben’s three kids, Jamaica, Hannah and Neil and Joe’s son, Michael. Marilyn was an integral part of an aging generation of Davisites which, now with her passing, is growing quite small. A private graveside service will be held at Davis Cemetery. Those that wish to sign an online guest book may do so at www.smith-funerals.com. The family asks that, instead of flowers, donations be made to STEAC or a charity of your choice.
at decision-making From Page A1
“I think that our (academic) programs are definitely a jewel for our district. We will need to take a close look at the things our local school parcel taxes are funding, and ask whether (our programs)” are reaching all the student groups around the district. She feels the school board will need to think about “how we make decisions longterm” and making sure that “we are making the right decisions at this point to be prepared for the future.” The school board seat that Vigdis Asmundson is seeking is essentially the two-year remainder of the four-year term to which former trustee Cindy Pickett was elected in 2018. Pickett moved Chicago in summer 2020 to start in her new job at De Paul University; Pickett has endorsed Asmundson for the Davis school
board. While school board seats from now on will be elected on a district basis, Pickett was elected under the old atlarge system, and her successor will serve in that capicity. Vigdis Asmundson comes from a well-known local family. Her grandfather, Vigfus S. Asmundson, was on the ag faculty at UC Davis (and Asmundson Hall, built in the 1950s, bears his name). Her father, Vigfus A. Asmundson, was on the Davis city council from 1968 to 1972 (including a term as mayor), and her mother, Ruth Uy Asmundson, was a school board trustee from 1990 to 2001 and on the city council from 2002 to 2010 (also including a term as mayor). — Reach Jeff Hudson at jhudson@davisenter prise.net or 530-7478055.

Parakrama de Alwis Gurusinghe May 17, 1947 — Sept. 19, 2020
Parakrama “Gura” de Alwis Gurusinghe, Ph.D, died at UC Davis Medical Center on Sept. 19 from a blood infection at the age of 73. Born in Sri Lanka, Gura moved to Davis in 1981 to complete a doctoral degree in population genetics at UC Davis. In 1984, he returned to Sri Lanka, but in 1990, immigrated back to Davis and eventually became a naturalized citizen. He lived in Davis with his wife until his death. He is survived by his wife Sunitha Gurusinghe, Ph.D., three daughters Chamindra G. Konersman, M.D., Dumindra Gurusinghe, M.D., and Nilendra Gurusinghe, and grandson Volant Gurusinghe Laverty. Gura was educated at the University of Peradeniya in Sri Lanka. In 1978, he developed a method for rapid multiplication of black pepper crops, which is still widely used in commercial planting. Next, he worked at UC Davis under the plant
pathology department and then as an environmental scientist for the department of pesticide regulation until his retirement in 2014. He was a friend, mentor and community leader to many in both Sri Lanka and in the Davis/Sacramento community. Though a prolific athlete in his youth, he devoted his adult life to the sciences, particularly agriculture and the environmental sciences. He was also a practicing Buddhist. Above all, he was a loving husband, father and grandfather. In keeping with his wishes, Gura’s body was donated to the UCD School of Medicine upon his death. In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family has requested supporting Gura’s legacy with a memorial donation to a charity of your choice. The family will not be holding a live memorial but encourages family and friends to leave a memorial message online at https://www.forevermissed.com/ parakrama-dealwis-gurusinghe/.

O. Box 4400, Davis, CA 95617 Owner: John Ott, P. O. Box 4400, Davis, CA 95617 Project Description: The applicant proposes to construct up to 200 apartment units and contribute approximately 1-acre of land to be deeded to Yolo Crisis Nursery (YCN) on two parcels comprising approximately 7.34 acres generally bounded by Research Park Drive, Cowell Boulevard, and Interstate 80 (see Attachment #2, Site Plan and other applicant’s Exhibits). The property has a General Plan (GP) land use designation of General Commercial and a South Davis Specific Plan (SDSP) designation of Commercial Recreation. The property is zoned Planned Development (P-D) #7-95 (Modified Commercial Highway). The project, as proposed, requires the following approvals: • a GP amendment to Residential High Density (GPA #1-17); • a SDSP map amendment to add Residential High Density (SPA #1-17); • a rezoning to new Preliminary Planned Development (P-D #1-17) for Multifamily Apartments; and • a Development Agreement #3-18, including an Affordable Housing Plan #1-17. The project proposes row-house style (townhouse) and stacked flat apartment units in two, three, and four-story buildings separated by landscaping. The project will consist of up to 200 units and approximately 500 bedrooms. This is a reduction from the proposed 2018 project for 646 bedrooms. Specifically, the 2020 project proposes a mix of micro (studio), 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom apartments, unlike the 2018 project that included 4 and 5 bedrooms’ apartment units. T proposal includes approximately The 22,400 sf of non-residential spaces that include 3,100 sf leasing office and café space, 8,100 sf multiple indoor activity areas, 2,200 sf bike barns, 1,500 sf day care, pedestrian pathways, landscaped courtyards, common open space areas, and maintenance areas. Approximately 300 onsite vehicle parking spaces and two bicycle parking spaces per unit will be provided. Other proposed site amenities include a swimming pool, sporting activities area, a transit plaza, landscaping, mail and package pickup/ drop-off, and a car share/hail area.

The applicant has revised the affordable housing plan to address City Council’s comments from 2018. In addition, the applicant further revised the affordable housing plan to reflect recommendations and comments made by the Social Services Commission on September 21, 2020. Thus, the applicant summarizes the current affordable housing plan as follows: 1.) “On-Site Affordable Rental Units for Very Low Income (Sustainable Communities Project). Consistent with Public Resources Code Chapter 4.2, 21155.1, Section (c)(1), Plaza 2555 will include 5% of the rental units to be rented at an affordable rent to very low-income households. If the resulting requirement is a fraction, it shall be rounded up to the next whole number. The unit mix of these very low-income units shall be as follows: it will include at least 3 twobedroom units and at least 3 micro units. The remainder of the affordable units shall be one-bedroom units. Very low income, which is defined by statute as those households with a gross income of no more than 50% of the Area Median Income (“AMI”), adjusted for household size appropriate for the unit. We plan to use Yolo County as the “area” for calculation of applicable AMI. With the proposed project of 200 units, Plaza 2555 would provide 10 units that are affordable to very low-income households. Three of these would be two-bedroom units, four would be one-bedroom units, and three would be micro units. At current standards, the rent for such units would be 30% of the income for a household earning 50% of the AMI. 2.) Land Contribution to Yolo Crisis Nursery In addition, Plaza 2555 also proposes to contribute approximately one (1) acre of land (the “Contribution Land”) to the Yolo Crisis Nursery (“YCN”) for the purpose of YCN creating a new, larger YCN facility that will better meet the needs of families in Yolo County. The Yolo Crisis Nursery provides a “home away from home” for children ages zero to five whose families are in crisis and in need of supportive services. It is a short-term residence for at-risk children who can stay for up to 30 days while their families receive wrap-around services. YCN helps connect families with what they need to ensure that the families remain safe and that they have or find housing. Families remain connected with YCN for up to a year, ensuring that the families have the referrals and resources to resolve their crisis. YCN predominantly serves very low and extremely low-income income families referred by other Yolo County social services agencies. Even though YCN does not itself income-qualify its clients, in practice 99% of the children that YCN serves come from families that are eligible for Medi-Cal. The income threshold for Medi-Cal eligibility is lower than the “very low income” threshold. Furthermore, 72% of the children come from families who are at risk of experiencing homelessness. One of the goals for YCN is to provide support for families so that they may avoid homelessness. In sum, the effect of YCN’s work is to serve families at the lowest income levels. There are only four crisis nurseries in California, and YCN is the only nursery to operate under multiple licenses in order to serve a range of children of various ages. The need for the crisis nursery is growing, but the current facility cannot be expanded to meet the growing need while still complying with the licensing requirements. A larger facility is needed. Contributing land to the YCN supports the community’s social services safety net for very low-income families, enabling children to remain safe and supporting their families through crisis. The need for such services in Davis is high and may be growing: the proportion of families from Davis that YCN helped in fiscal year 19/20 doubled in comparison to the proportion from Davis in fiscal year 18/19. The land contribution would provide a significant benefit to the community for the purpose of serving people at the lowest income levels. In the unlikely event that YCN cannot accept the Contribution Land from Plaza 2555, Plaza 2555 will offer the land Contribution Land as a dedication to the City. In the event that the City does not accept the land dedication, Plaza 2555 proposes to pay an annual fee to the City equal to 2/3rds of 1.65% of the annual gross rental income of the project (the “Annual Fee”). This alternative compliance would align with prior City entitlements elsewhere.” Environmental Determination: Staff and the Planning Commission have determined that the project is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Public Resources Code (“PRC”) Sections 21155.1(Transit Priority Project). Therefore, the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Availability of Documents: The project application file is available for review at the Department of Community Development and Sustainability, 23 Russell Boulevard, Suite 2, Davis, California, 95616.
