After 40 years, cops solve case of missing Woodland mom

Game on Davis resident launches election trivia app on American politics BY JULIETTA BISHARYAN Enterprise correspondent With election day just around the corner, “Election: The Game” asks players if they think they are smarter than the current occupant of the White House. The game app was designed by Davis resident and high school English teacher Matt Biers-Ariel and children’s book artist and author Mark Fearing, with the help of software engineers Phyllis Gallagher and Martin Hald. The music and sound effects were composed by John M. Hull. Inspiration for the game rose from Biers-Ariel’s son’s early love for presidential trivia. Biers-Ariel concluded that monetizing his son’s expertise was “the most American thing to do.” With the help of Fearing, the two transformed the idea into a board game with the intent of selling it to the toy company Hasbro. After building five game mockups, they soon discovered that the company would only buy their game after they sold 50,000 units. Ultimately, Biers-Ariel and Fearing went their separate ways, letting the game mockups collect dust over the past decades and administrations. Years later, Biers-Ariel reached out to Fearing while looking for an artist to

illustrate a children’s story. He then suggested that they turn their old board game into a game app. For three months straight and with a budget of zero dollars, the team worked to transform “Election: The Game” into an app. “At its core, the game is a fun way to learn about our country and our electoral system. This kind of knowledge, to me, is more patriotic than waving a flag,” Biers-Ariel said. “Even at the pundit level, there are a number of questions that we hope will give even a Washington insider pause to say, ‘Huh, that’s interesting.’ ” To win the game, players must acquire the 270 Electoral College votes needed to become president of the United States by campaigning in states and correctly answering trivia questions to collect that state’s electoral votes. The game has two levels, a novice level for kids and a pundit level for well-versed high schoolers and adults. “I imagine President Trump would win at the novice level,” Biers-Ariel said. The art style is based on Fearing’s previous illustration work as an editorial cartoonist, combining political and trivia game visuals. Even though their product is just a trivia game, they are unable to advertise the app on

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Tom Wulff was away at basketball camp the night his mother, Dolores, vanished from the family’s rural Woodland home in 1979. He recalls returning home a couple of days later and having a conversation with his father, Carl, and younger brother Paul, then 12. “My father told us that she was gone and was never coming back,” said Tom Wulff, who was 16 at WULFF the time and had Vanished in borne the brunt of 1979 Carl Wulff ’s abuse in recent years. “I knew immediately that he had done something.” Dolores, a Davis native and Woodland High School secretary known for her joyful, positive demeanor, would never have left her four children including a 21-year-old son, Carl Jr., and daughter Anna Marie, 19, according to her son. “Her kids were everything,” Tom Wulff said. That night, he and Paul left to stay with their uncle Matthew Rocha in Davis, “and we never returned.” For more than four decades, Dolores Wulff ’s disappearance remained a mystery that haunted her family, the community and Yolo County

Facebook due to Facebook’s recent ban on political advertisements amid election season. The game offers political, historical and cultural questions, making it both entertaining and educational, Biers-Ariel said, adding that games are one of the best learning methods since players can learn more about the workings of their country while still having fun. Regarding a potential second

version in the future, both Biers-Ariel and Fearing agree on making it multi-player so that friends and family can play against each other. “I think the game’s mix of current political culture and historical trivia can make these times a bit more fun,” Fearing said. “It’s fresh-squeezed orange juice when you’re trapped on a desert island.” “Election: The Game” is available on the App Store for download.

Enterprise staff writer Nearly a month into fall quarter, UC Davis’ oncampus student population has remained largely virusfree, according to testing data on the UC Davis COVID-19 dashboard. From Oct. 11 through 17, the most recent week with results reported, 2,300 students were tested and none tested positive. Since students moved in on Sept. 14, a total of 9,541

VOL. 123, NO. 130

tests have been conducted, with six students testing positive. The last positive test was reported on Oct. 1. Campus residents are screened weekly for COVID-19 using a quickturnaround saliva sample test that is processed on campus at the UC Davis Genome Center. Until that pilot project is validated, students are being screened concurrently using a nasal swab test that is sent to a

Yolo County’s daily rate of new coronavirus cases continues to grow, fueled in part by an outbreak at a Woodland skilled-nursing facility. In just the last three days, the county has reported 69 new cases and has averaged more than 15 new cases a day over the last two weeks, according to data on the county’s online COVID19 dashboard.

That elevated daily case rate would likely meet the metrics of the most restrictive purple tier on the state’s blueprint for reopening. The county has been in the less-restrictive red tier — which allowed a number of local businesses to reopen — for several weeks, but if the average daily new case rate hits 7 per 100,000 residents (or about 15 cases per day) and stays there for two

Enterprise staff writer A mixed-use project proposed for University Research Park in South Davis will go before the City Council on Tuesday. The proposal received mixed reviews from planning commissioners in August, with one commissioner calling it “a perfect example of a good infill project” and another likening it to sterile Russian apartment housing. The commission voted

4-3 to recommend City Council approval of the development proposed for Research Park Drive between Cowell Boulevard and Drew Avenue. If approved by the council, the 4.5 acres of vacant land northwest of the Holiday Inn Express would become home to a complex of four buildings, each containing four floors of apartment units over a ground floor of office and technology

Once again, it pays to listen to Mother

“G

etting your protein from plants may help you live longer,” said the headline in The New York Times, the nation’s second greatest newspaper. Which is pretty much what my mother was telling me years ago when she told me to eat my vegetables. Back then, however, it seems as if we didn’t evaluate every bite of whatever we put in our mouth. We ate when we were hungry and we, of course, ate more of the things that tasted good than the things that didn’t taste good. But it didn’t seem as if others were raising a judgmental eyebrow when we did. Nowadays you can’t order a simple hamburger without it being some sort of political or environmental or health statement. If you had lunch at McDonald’s, best to keep it to yourself. “Getting your protein from plants instead of animals could

prolong your life, a new study suggests,” began the NY Times piece by Nicholas Bakalar. “Researchers prospectively followed 70,696 Japanese men and women, average age 55, for an average of 18 years,” the story goes on. “All had completed detailed health and diet questionnaires, and none had a history of cancer or cardiovascular disease at the start. There were 12,381 deaths over the period.” Adding 55 and 18 gets you to 73. And that sounds like way too many deaths for that age range, but perhaps it’s not.

Teen arrested for hit-and-run collisions BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Woodland police arrested an 18-yearold man on impaired driving and hitand-run charges early Friday morning after he allegedly struck six parked cars. According to Sgt. Victoria Danzl, officers were alerted at about 12:20 a.m. to an apparent under-the-influence driver who struck an occupied car near East Gum Avenue and Matmor Road. The driver, later identified as Mario Lopez, then fled the scene toward Farnham Avenue. “Witnesses continued to update officers as to Mr. Lopez’s location,” Danzl said. “Mr. Lopez crashed into approximately five other vehicles along Farnham Avenue from Darby Court to Maxwell Avenue.” At one point, the front-right wheel assembly and control arm was sheared off of Lopez’s vehicle, but he kept driving until the car stopped at Farnham and Maxwell avenues, where officers took him into custody, Danzl said.

Wear a mask

“After adjusting for age, sex, smoking, fat intake, body mass index, physical activity and other health and behavioral characteristics, they found that compared with one-fifth of the group who ate the least plant protein, the fifth who consumed the most had a 27-percent lower rate of cardiovascular death, a 28-percent lower rate of death from heart disease and a 28-percent lower rate of stroke.”

ounds compelling. But wait, there’s more. “Substituting plant protein for red or processed meat was associated with lower mortality, though the researchers found no correlation between the amount of animal protein intake and mortality when considered alone.” I’ve read the above paragraph four times and am still not sure what it means. So, in addition to ordering an Impossible Burger at Burger King, ask them to toss in an extra slice or two of tomato or onion or

lettuce or maybe a pickle or two. Last time I checked, potatoes are vegetables, too, so a double order of fries is likely to keep you hale and hearty twice as long as no fries at all. It’s hard to tell from this study is you should cut back on animal protein or simply add plant protein to your current diet. The next study, of course, will warn of having too much protein of any kind in your diet. “Those who ate the most plant protein, which is abundant in such foods as spinach, broccoli and legumes like lentils, soy beans and chickpeas, had a 13-percent lower all-cause mortality rate than those who ate the least.” And here I always thought the mortality rate has hovered right around 100 percent for all of us, no matter what we eat. But maybe if I eat more vegetables, I’ll understand all these facts and figures better. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

Area organizations aim to confront racism BY WENDY WEITZEL Special to The Enterprise

embers of the local arts community met virtually on Oct. 7 to support each other and share how they are reimagining their work in the time of COVID-19. Arts Alliance Davis was formed a few years ago as a grassroots effort to give artists and their supporters the opportunity to gather, collaborate and create meaningful impact. Meetings, typically every other month, are open to anyone. The October meeting, via videoconference, included 17 artists or representatives or arts organizations. Much of the discussion focused on anti-racism. Davis resident NJ Mvondo, a Black artist and community organizer, recently launched the interactive Healing Art Project to provide a positive platform for dialogue about systemic racism. Mvondo runs Multiculturalism Rocks!, an organization celebrating cultural diversity in the arts. The Healing Art Project is a treasure hunt for twodimensional art — displayed in merchant windows in downtown Davis and beyond — encouraging patronage to local businesses. Artists — some of whom can receive a $100 stipend — are asked to answer the prompt: “What does healing look like to you?” Via an online platform at https:// davishealingartproject.com, audiences are then asked, “What is a change that you would like to see in the world right now?”

Observers are also asked to share encouragement for someone who needs it. Artwork should appear in windows through early January. Mvondo hopes the project boosts both local businesses and community morale, “as many deal with the stress and challenges generated by COVID-19, the ongoing fires, the current protests for racial justice, and the changing social fabric of our lives.” International House, Davis recently completed its 10th annual International Festival. Normally, the festival is in Central Park. This year, it showcased 23 performing groups as part of a three-hour video program that focused on diversity. It’s posted on its home page, https://internationalhouse davis.org/. Though the pandemic brings challenges to the organization, “our commitment to unity and diversity has never wavered,” Shelly Gilbride, I-House executive director, said in the program’s opening. Via its website, the nonprofit is converting the online performances into a directory for cultural groups: Culture Commons. It allows visitors to filter content by diasporic origin (like Africa or Asia) or by the group’s focus area (like its cause or religion).

“It lets cultural groups have an online presence if they don’t have one,” Gilbride said at the meeting. “(And) shows the incredible cultural depth of our community. ” With funding support from the City of Davis Arts & Cultural Affairs Fund, I-House will coordinate a series of anti-racism trainings with leaders from the arts and nonprofit sectors, in partnership with The Impact Foundry. Rachel Hartsough, the city’s arts and culture manager, said she’s “very concerned for the well-being of a lot of the individuals and organizations within the arts. Sacramento, and other cities, are putting a lot of money into sustaining the arts and culture communities.” However, because of deep budget cuts due to COVID-19, Davis has a much smaller pot of money for this, Hartsough said. Meanwhile, arts organizations are struggling. Stacie Frerichs, director of The Davis Arts Center, told the group that “every month, I’m getting barely enough cash to stay open.” Though she says there’s enough money to stay afloat through the end of the year, “if I have to wait for summer camps, we won’t make it. And what does startup

actually look like? It’s going be a really painful process for the next year.” The Davis Arts Center will host a revised Holiday Sale on Nov. 1 — outside, in the parking lot, for artists to sell gifts. I-House’s Gilbride, who also serves on the board of the Davis School Arts Foundation, said that nonprofit is revamping its mission to make sure all children in Davis schools get culturally relevant arts education. It’s funding art kits made by the Davis Arts Center to at least one grade level in the school district. Lorie Hammond, Peregrine School founder, said the elementary and preschool’s annual Oktoberfest arts festival is going partly digital. The nonprofit private school is back open for in-person classes on a small scale. Visitors can see art in the parking lot on rotating days, Oct. 27-30. Yelena Ivashchenko, owner of Bohème Hip Used Clothing downtown, reported on plans for the Davis Downtown Business Association’s “Seven Days of Halloween,” which also awaits city approval. Instead of the canceled Trick-orTreat Trail, she imagines it as a way for people to come downtown in a fun, safe and responsible way — not just on the Saturday holiday — to support local shops. Watch for details. Natalie Nelson of Pence Gallery reminded people that the gallery is open several afternoons a week, with masks required. She said it’s important for artists to continue to have physical shows.

Michael French of UC Davis Arts said most performances and events have moved online, including Thursday noon concerts and a Visiting Artist Lecture Series. See links at https://arts.ucdavis.edu/ calendar. Gia Battista of the Davis Shakespeare Festival said one silver lining has been a digital internship program DSF offers for college students interested in theater. Because it’s online, they have reached participants from across the country. Autumn Labbé-Renault of Davis Media Access, who serves as chair of the Arts Alliance, said the community TV and radio station found a niche helping local groups get video coverage of their events. She called it “great and challenging, to help other nonprofits get the info about their important work out there.” For details, visit https://davis media.org/content/virtualevent-services.

where she interviews local leaders on the pandemic’s local impact, and provide resources to listeners.

Marilyn Morgan Olmstead Dec. 8, 1943 — Sept. 30, 2020

It is with deep sadness that we observe the passing of Marilyn Morgan Olmstead, on Sept. 30, 2020. She was struck by a car while riding her bike in Davis. She was 76. Marilyn was a professor emerita of chemistry at UC Davis, a Fellow of the American Chemical Society and the American Crystallographic Association, and an international leader in the crystallographic study of fullerenes, or “Buckyballs.” She published more than 1,100 articles in scientific journals and had been cited more than 34,000 times. Marilyn also was an extraordinary teacher, mentor and advocate for junior faculty and students. While Marilyn’s exceptional productivity and impact are well known, fewer people know the obstacles she had to overcome as a female scientist. Marilyn joined the UC Davis chemistry department in 1969 when she was 25. By 2000, she directed one of the most productive crystallographic labs in the world and was the most published and cited member of the chemistry department, and yet she was never offered a faculty position. Finally, in 2003, when Marilyn was 60 years old, she was appointed to the faculty as a full professor. Marilyn was born on Dec. 8, 1943, in Glendale. She graduated from Burbank

High School in 1961, earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Reed College in 1965 and was awarded a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship to support her graduate studies. She received her Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1969. She was the only woman in her graduating class of 40 students. Marilyn developed an interest in science as a child. Her parents allowed her to pursue her “tomboy” interests in cowboys, stamps, rocks, and insects, and when she was 8, bought her a microscope. At 12, she obtained a general operator’s license in ham radio, becoming the youngest female ham radio operator in the US. She built radio transmitters and antennas and communicated using Morse code with “hams” as far away as South Africa. During summers, she worked as a draftswoman at Lockheed and a YMCA camp counselor. She was an insatiable reader and played tennis and piano. She was also Burbank High School’s homecoming queen. Marilyn maintained these interests as an adult. She used microscopes almost daily and built and improved scientific instrumentation. She collaborated with scientists

from around the world and was a visiting scholar in Switzerland, China, Malaysia and India. She was also a host mother to exchange students from Italy and Turkey. She spent memorable days with family and friends at her cabin at Alpine Meadows, skied at resorts throughout the U.S. and hiked mountains in a score of countries. Almost every day, she biked to work and played tennis. She was an excellent cook and was always sharing recipes and expanding her repertoire. She loved her book club, playing the piano and going to concerts at the Mondavi Center. She was kind, generous and beautiful. Despite the mistreatment she experienced as a female scientist, Marilyn remained positive. It gave her great joy to teach, advise and mentor junior faculty and students. She constantly advocated for them, sought funding for state-ofthe-art research infrastructure, and imparted the skills and guidance they needed to succeed. She said, “My graduate students have never ceased to challenge and inspire me, and I am happy to see many of them continue in professional careers. The number of

women in science is no longer that surprising, but, looking back, times have changed.” Even after her official retirement, Marilyn continued active research and mentorship and was branching into an entirely new field of chemistry. In the words of one of her colleagues, “Marilyn truly was a pioneering spirit not only in science but also as a woman. She set an example of excellence and grace we all can aspire to emulate.” Marilyn is survived by Alan, her husband of 53 years and her greatest champion; her daughter Janis and her children Dylan and Emma; her son Nate and his wife Erin and their children Avery and Evan; and her sister Marcia. Marilyn was preceded in death by her son Eric. The family invites well-wishers to help carry on Marilyn’s work by contributing to the Marilyn M. Olmstead Inorganic Chemistry Graduate Research Fund.

Dair Aring Rausch May 2, 1938 — Aug. 7, 2020

Sadly, Dair Rausch died of heart failure on Aug. 7 at her home in Fairfield. She was born May 2, 1938, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mary Schroder Aring and Charles D. Aring, M.D. Dair graduated from Earlham College in Richmond, Ind., and studied clinical psychology at the University of Cincinnati. In high school and college, she worked for the Family Service Agency, where she developed a passion for working with the elderly. Dair and David Rausch met and married in Cincinnati in 1962. Soon, they left for David’s internship and medical duty at Martin Army Hospital in Columbus, Ga. His training continued in Oklahoma and Durham, N.C. In 1970, Dair, David and their two young daughters, Devyn and Dana, traveled west as David was hired by the budding UC Davis School of Medicine. Later, he enjoyed a long career in a private pulmonary medicine practice affiliated with Mercy Hospital in Sacramento. Dair was a teacher by profession. In Davis, her energy and talents were devoted to Davis schools and her daughters’ Bluebird troops. She volunteered in elementary schools, teaching mini-courses in creative writing and math. She also served on the first committee that wrote the Master Plan for Early Childhood Education for the Davis Joint Unified School District. Dair’s longtime interest in eldercare continued. She received the Yolo County Mental Health Bell Award for co-founding Citizens Who Care, an agency serving the

frail elderly and their caregivers. She worked endlessly throughout the state to secure formal training and certification for nursing assistants who serve the elderly. She wrote a column in the Woodland Daily Democrat to educate the public on problems of the aged. Dair also supported the creation of the Yolo Adult Day Health Care Center that provides daily care and supervision for elderly disabled patients. In addition, she co-founded MANNA, a nonprofit that collected and distributed donations of household goods, medical supplies, food and clothing to 12 Yolo County nonprofits. In 1977, Dair received the C.A. Covell Trophy for Community Service, also known as the Davis Citizen of the Year Award. Local residents often sought out Dair for advice on handling problems of the elderly. Dair and David’s years in Davis were enriched by their many friendships in the Davis area and fellowship in Davis Community Church. Fifty years ago, Dair was one of the founders of the still active Tuesday Noon Book Group. In 1978, Dair and David bought and restored a small historic farm on the southeastern outskirts of town. This greatly nourished Dair’s longstanding love of nature and animals. Her daughters ran a horse stable, kept many animals and did farm labor. Dair and David were interested in the historical region of South (Putah) Davis and spent

many hours collecting oral histories of the region’s senior population. Those have been donated to the Hattie Webber Museum in Davis. She also started Soup & Song, a wonderful social time (and of course a time for singing and sipping soup) for seniors, which met weekly at Davis Community Church. Ten years ago, Dair and David moved to Paradise Valley Estates in Fairfield, where she continued her lifelong interests in reading, writing, music, art, the environment and observing the nearby animals. She was so helpful to her fellow PVE residents that they gave her a surprise dinner where friends spoke about all the helpful things she had done for them. Dair’s daughters have followed her example of giving back to the community. Devyn has been a reading specialist and educator for more than 30 years. She volunteers and is involved in many nonprofit organizations. Dana has been a Habitat for Humanity volunteer and enjoys enriching the gardens of many people. Devyn remembers a childhood filled with many creative art and garden projects, much reading and sharing of knowledge and wonderful vacations in Europe, Guatemala and throughout the U.S. Dair’s children greatly value that their mom was always learning, appreciated nature, really listened to their problems and those of others, and imparted wise advice to many people.

The family is grateful for the many people who have written to express their love and admiration for Dair. “Our loss is of a most generous woman who desired the best for each of us.” “I appreciated her love of children, animals and nature and the marvelous descriptions of all that she saw.” “I have kept and treasured many of her letters and shared articles, a reminder of her thoughtfulness, sense of humor, warmth and wisdom.” “Both you and David have given much joy and comfort to the communities in which you have lived. You are models of the saying, ‘A Life Well Lived!’” “Dair was a person who needed to set things right and make them as nearly perfect as possible.” Dair will be greatly missed as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She is survived by her husband David C. Rausch in Fairfield, her daughter Devyn Rausch and Devyn’s children Liliana and Alysia in Davis, her daughter Dana Rausch in Georgia and her brother Charles S. Aring, M.D., in Saratoga.

Will Main Streets be victims of COVID? T here’s more bad news for small merchants, according to a recent consumerconfidence poll. A survey this month by the online referral network Alignable said 45 percent of consumers have shifted spending habits during COVID: purchasing goods from national online retailers instead of shopping at local businesses. In the poll of 5,831 U.S. consumers between Oct. 10 and 14, there were 52 percent who said they don’t expect to change those shopping habits before the holiday season. Another 16 percent plan to increase their online spending instead of shopping locally. However, 32 percent of consumers polled expect to increase their spending among local merchants, and 11 percent said they’d spend significantly more. If you’re reading this column, you may be one of those. But small businesses in Davis — and on so-called Main Streets everywhere — are hurting. In September, Alignable surveyed 6,325 local retailers across a wide range of industries. Of those, 45 percent said they might not make enough profits this quarter to stay afloat into 2021. “Unfortunately, many consumers don’t realize that the more money they spend with local merchants, the faster their community will recover, enhancing their quality of life,” an Alignable news release said. ———— I’ve been getting a lot of inquiries about the former B&L Bike Shop space at 610 Third St. (In January, the shop condensed operations into its adjacent space at 608 Third St., still offering sales, parts and repairs). The spot at 610 Third St. is being filled by a leasing office for Ryder on Olive, a five-story apartment community geared toward UC Davis students. It’s being built at 1207 Olive Drive.

Programs to help area minorities Special to The Enterprise SACRAMENTO — La Familia Counseling Center is introducing two workforce development programs to bring disadvantaged community members ways to rebound from the economic crisis brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. In partnership with the California Mobility Center and SMUD, La Familia invites Sacramento residents who were displaced from the labor force due to COVID-19 to receive training in manufacturing and vehicle technology. La Familia is looking for individuals interested in a new career to sign up early for the cohort coming up early in November to be completed before the end of the calendar year. CMC students will receive 80 hours of job realigning training, coaching and potential placement at local advanced manufacturing companies upon completion. The requirements to participate are: at least 18 years old and living within Sacramento and can provide documentation of the right to work and have been impacted by the pandemic. Training will be held virtually and at La Familia Counseling Center.

Diners enjoy meals on G Street in downtown Davis on June 27, as restaurants expand into the closed roadway. While some local restaurants have survived during the pandemic with take-out and outdoor dining, a recent survey shows that many small businesses are struggling.

The leasing office, though not open yet, is set up with model rooms with features like couches, hanging wicker chairs and study areas. ———— A local Pilates studio closed in August, and a new one is emerging, filling the space of a longtime hair studio that closed in March. Personalized Pilates closed in August. It was at 1260 Lake Blvd., Suite 269, in Westlake Plaza shopping center. Two of the certified instructors from that business, Sarah GouldWaslohn and Carrie Gifford, have a soft opening underway for Luna Sol Pilates, with a grand opening on or around Nov. 1. It fills the former A’bout with Hair studio at 1340 E. Covell Blvd., Suite 104, in Oak Tree

Plaza. The hair studio never reopened after the pandemic forced its closure this spring. Luna Sol focuses on postrehabilitation and contemporary Pilates, emphasizing core strength and healthy movement, Gifford said. It will have all new equipment and a fresh, clean space. Classes will be online and in-studio, with limits to the numbers of in-person participants, per county health restrictions. “All our equipment is set 6 feet apart and, for now, we are requiring participants to wear masks while entering the studio and moving around the studio,” Gifford said in an email. When on their equipment, they may remove their masks to exercise. Instructors wear masks while teaching. ———— The former Crucial Vibes space at 204 E St. will soon have a new tenant: a convenience store specializing in Asian food, drinks, snacks, stationery and gifts. It appears to be part of CTC Food International (formerly Oriental Trading Company), a

wholesaler based in Richmond. The company owns the store Myu Myu (possibly the name of the Davis store) and Asian Food Grocer. It also supplies products for military commissaries across the globe. Myu Myu delivers from its stores for a small fee. ———— A pop-up Persian restaurant has opened as a permanent location. Stand Up Kabob is at 5100 Chiles Road, Suite 105, between La Mesa RV and Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Specializing in Iranian food and Halal meat, it features meat and veggie kababs, sandwiches, soup, eggplant dishes and more. There is a fenced-off patio for dining, with spots to eat while seated or standing. Reviews say indoor dining is in the works. Hours are limited: 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. ———— In last week’s column, I mistakenly said Lu’Ro Jewelers was the only jeweler that does inhouse repairs on a daily basis. Though this was confirmed by an owner, it was incorrect. The latest news is that the jewelry store plans to move from 724

Fifth St. to 241 F St. on Friday, Oct. 30. ———— Steady Eddy’s Coffee House in Winters recently extended its hours to stay open Thursday through Saturday evenings. It has a beer and wine license and makes a few specialty drinks with wine or sake. The food menu includes paninis, wraps and salads — an abbreviated version of its breakfast and lunch menu. It’s at 5 E. Main St., Suite A. Hours are 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays through Wednesdays, 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturdays, and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays. ———— Farmer’s Closet, a clothing, home décor and gift shop in Fairfield, opened a Winters store at 9 Main St. earlier this month. Along with seasonal home items, it features clothing for women, men and children from Cowboy Nonnies Boutique. It’s open from noon to 6 p.m. Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays. ———— I regularly update my Google spreadsheet of more than 300 Davis businesses affected by COVID-19.

MIXED-USE: Commissioners split on project’s quality From Page A1 space. The buildings would surround an open courtyard. All told, there would be 26,912 square feet of office and open tech space below 160 residential units. The units would be comprised of 32 studios, 96 one-bedroom apartments and 32 two-bedroom apartments. The site also would provide 214 parking spaces and 216 bike parking spaces and 40,100 square feet of open space within the project. City staff are recommending approval of the project, citing the housing it would provide as well as the “employment-generating open plan tech space.” “The project enables the city to provide both jobs and housing in an area with good connectivity to transit and other non-vehicle modes of transportation, thus furthering several of the city’s goals,” the staff report prepared for Tuesday’s council meeting said. Applicant Mark Friedman of Fulcrum Property told the Planning Commission in August that the project was designed to have a university-type feel, with a large quad between the buildings, but is not intended as student housing. Rather, he said, the research park Fulcrum acquired in 2015 from Interland LLC is home to “wonderful tech and research companies … probably the best collection of high-tech companies not only in Davis but anywhere in the

region,” and the housing would appeal to those already working there. Four of the seven planning commissioners present in August were on board, though some more enthusiastically than others. Commissioner Greg Rowe called the proposal “very positive, very progressive and very helpful to the long-term benefit of our community.” He noted that University Research Park, which is home to Novozymes Inc., Bioconsortia Inc., and Marrone Bio Innovations, among others, has a very low vacancy rate “and that’s a demonstration of the quality business park this is.” “I see this as an opportunity for people to be in a very dynamic environment,” said Rowe. “It’s a perfect example of a good infill project.” Commission Chair Cheryl Essex said she loved “the idea of taking a commercial site that has stood dormant for so many years and creating a more vibrant and livable place. It’s a good use.” “I appreciate the idea of having more apartments in this location,” she added. But Commissioner Herman Boschken, who ultimately joined Rowe, Essex and Commissioner Stephen Mikesell in voting to recommend the project’s approval, objected to the architectural design, comparing it to Russian housing built some 60 years ago.

“These are just boxes,” he said of the four buildings, which he likened to Russian buildings that “all looked alike” and “represented warehouses for people to be stored in.” “It needs some stylistic changes,” he said. Commissioner Darryl Rutherford, who voted against recommending the project for approval, called the design “a little odd, pretty industrial” and said it “just doesn’t seem to have a Davis feel to me … it doesn’t seem to really fit the community per se.” Rutherford, who was joined by commissioners Emily Shandy and David Robertson in voting against the project, also objected to the affordable housing proposed for the project. Rather than 5 percent of residential units being reserved for very low income tenants as was included in the original proposal, the plan now is to provide the city with $600,000 in lieu of affordable housing on site. Rutherford urged Friedman to cut back in other areas in order to provide more in the way of affordable housing. But Friedman was adamant that the plan proposed is what is feasible for the project. Vertical mixed-use, he said, is “intrinsically more expensive to build,” something acknowledged in the city’s affordable housing ordinance which originally exempted mixed-use development.

“Quite frankly,” added, “I don’t understand how the community is better off, how you solve your housing problems, by making projects so infeasible that nobody builds them.” Friedman also objected to the criticism of the project’s architectural design, which he called “extraordinarily high caliber.” “I wouldn’t present this to you, I wouldn’t put my name on it, if I didn’t think it would raise the bar (and be good for Davis),” he said, adding, “I’m not willing to redesign it.” Learn more about the proposed University Research Park mixeduse project at https://www.city ofdavis.org/city-hall/community -development-and-sustainability/ development-projects/research -park-mixed-use.

YOLO COUNTY/COURTESY PHOTO

PURPLE: Numbers still climbing From Page A1 consecutive weeks, the county would likely face a return to purple. The state will provide updated numbers for Yolo County on Tuesday which will indicate how close the county is to having to shutter businesses again. The county health department last week took action aimed at staving off a return to purple by limiting gatherings among residents to no more than 16 people from no more than three households. Such gatherings must be held outdoors and for no more than two hours. As for the outbreak at the Alderson Convalescent Hospital, both state and county public health officials are working with the

facility to stem the outbreak there. Since the beginning of the month, that outbreak has spread to 54 residents and seven staff members, according to Alderson’s website. Additionally, the county reported a COVID-19 death at the facility last week. Alderson suffered through a previous outbreak during the summer, when 27 people tested positive and three died. Such outbreaks, officials have said, are linked to spread of the coronavirus in the local community, with employees, outside vendors and other visitors unknowingly bringing the virus in. The two hardest-hit skilled-nursing facilities in Yolo County during this pandemic — Alderson and

the Stollwood Convalescent Hospital in the spring — are in Woodland. Of the 201 COVID-19 cases reported in longterm care facilities in Yolo County, 179 have been in six facilities in Woodland, according to the county’s COVID-19 dashboard. The remaining 22 have occurred in two facilities in Davis and one in West Sacramento. Meanwhile, of the 3,166 total cases countywide since the pandemic began, 1,354 have been in the city of Woodland. In addition to the growing number of coronavirus cases throughout the county, hospitalizations have also increased, with 24 county residents hospitalized with COVID-19 on Saturday alone.

A Woodland woman received probation and jail time Thursday for her role in a three-on-one beating in Davis that left the victim hospitalized. Norma Linda Gentry’s sentence was the result of a plea agreement she made last month, admitting to an assault charge in connection with the May 5 attack in the 300 block of K Street. Her codefendant, Davis resident Jose Alex Flores Rodriguez, 27, is serving three years’ probation after pleading no contest last month to battery causing bodily injury, online court records show. A third suspect is still at large. Davis police Lt. Art Camacho said at the time of the incident that the male victim had three “guests” inside his apartment when an argument broke out around 6:30 a.m. It soon escalated to a three-against-one physical altercation, he said. “It is alleged that one of the attackers hit and kicked the victim multiple times to his face and body with an unknown object and the second hit the victim on the head and body with an aluminum baseball bat,” Camacho said. “The third attacker reportedly hit the victim to the head and body with a steel pipe.”

During Thursday’s sentencing hearing, Gentry’s defense attorney said the three defendants had “taken justice into their own hands and went overboard” in response to a domestic-violence incident involving the victim. As the victim underwent treatment for his injuries at Sutter Davis Hospital, police launched an investigation that led Gentry and Rodriguez’s arrests. The third suspect, 23-year-old Dominique Ian Krogstad of Davis, remains at large despite a warrant being obtained for his arrest. Gentry previously served probation and jail time for her role in a November 2015 hit-andrun fatality in Woodland in which Gentry’s exboyfriend struck and killed Woodland resident Richard Tafoya, 65, as he walked his dog on Mariposa Street. Prosecutors said Gentry, a passenger in Raymond Contreras’ pickup, conspired with Contreras, by telling Gentry’s father Roberto Sanchez they had struck a tire. Sanchez, in turn, filed a false insurance claim saying he had been driving the truck when it hit a milk crate on the highway. Sanchez also was sentenced to probation and jail time, while Contreras received a four-year, eightmonth state prison term.

Pandemic pets are just the salve we need A s I write this, my two dogs are vibing me so hard to go out and throw something for them. Or go walk with them. Or get in the pool with them. It’s the middle of a Friday, but Pauley (Pavilion Perez) and Sandy (Koufax Perez) have now grown very expectant — demanding, even! — that they get played, exercised and cuddled throughout the day. I feel awful for the rude awakening that’s coming their way when normal life returns and they are without their “pack.” Since March 14, they have never had to be home without their humans for more than a couple of hours. The long, upcoming — what’s the opposite of “workfrom-home”? Work-from-work?

— days of their people’s absence will be an unwelcome shift in their routines. I’ve heard this impending woe from others, including colleagues on Zoom who have cats parading across their desks during meetings, and dogs nudging up under their desk chair armrests. The pets love the pandemic. Funny side note: It turns out

Pauley and Sandy have learned my Zoom habits. When they hear me sign off from a meeting, they often scamper around my feet, willing me to go outside with them for some fun. By 3 p.m. most days, the anticipation has overwhelmed them; as I say, “See ya later,” to my computer screen, the dogs snap to attention. Their tales wag papers off my desk, while they do little foot stomps of excitement, eyeing the back door, in case I’ve forgotten where to go. And I rarely resist their beckoning. A very positive trend during the pandemic has been more fostering and adoption of pets. This mostly-at-home spell has given people who formerly thought they didn’t have enough time to

train and adapt to new family members some real quality and quantity time. I imagine there are a lot of new dogs and cats who have never been home alone without their people. And I don’t expect they’ll think it’s awesome to be home alone on the side yard, waiting for the sound of the car’s engine coming down the street. Truly, I’m sad at this prospect. Sad for me and for the animals. This is a time in human history where I have relied heavily on the kindness of my dogs. I am so grateful to them as my constant companions while working from home has been, on occasion, isolating. And scrolling through various news stories on Twitter has been, without fail, infuriating.

Pauley and Sandy don’t get worked up over the headlines, and they don’t scream at the television news. In fact, when I do that, they come over to tell me, with a nice little nuzzling, that I don’t need to be upset. And they almost make me believe 2020 isn’t the (swear word of your choice here) mess it is. Now, as you would guess, I need to loosen up my arm for a long game of fetch. They’ve earned it. — Tanya Perez lives in Davis with her family. Her column is published every other Sunday. Reach her at pereztanyah@ gmail.com. Follow her on Twitter at @californiatanya.

Here’s a bit of history from one who was there BY VIC BUCHER Special to The Enterprise

he Yolo Crisis Nursery began serving children ages birth to five years old and their families in 2001. Since then, the Nursery has continuously provided early intervention services in a safe environment to nurture healthy and resilient children, strengthen parents and preserve families. From 2001 until early 2014, the nursery operated under a parent nonprofit agency. Yolo Crisis Nursery executive director Heather Sleuter recalls receiving the news that the nursery would close in 30 days and our parent agency would leave Yolo County. “We had just bundled up the last of 12 children to leave for the day with parents and guardians. Two children would spend the night with our staff as their parents got immediate help. I thought, what will happen to these children — and all the children who need the nursery’s care — if we close?” The departure of our host agency from Yolo County in 2014 created a crisis. The nursery was facing closure. A group of volunteers who had been formed years earlier for fundraising assistance to the Nursery — The Friends of the Yolo Crisis Nursery — immediately began to search for a licensed host agency to take over the

YOLO CRISIS NURSERY Yolo Crisis Nursery operations. For a variety of reasons, one was not found. With the 30 days’ notice of closure, the majority of grants that had funded the nursery were terminated. There was no more agency, no more money and no more time. The clock was ticking. And then, the angels arrived and brought with them the miracles that are now legendary. Heidy Kellison, president of the Friends, boldly negotiated a continuation of the Yolo Crisis Nursery operations with private funding while a nonprofit corporation was formed, licensed and became a public 501(c)(3) charity. The Yolo Crisis Nursery now had 90 days to remain open while securing funding for the interim operation of the nursery and a full fiscal year of funding for operations totaling almost $400,000. Heidy returned to Friends of the Yolo Crisis Nursery with a three-month clock, determination and enduring hope. She is my hero. Yolo Crisis Nursery Inc., was formed with a board of directors consisting of Becky Heard, as chair, Kellison, Liz Malinoff, Trish Bosco and myself. On behalf of the new corporation, I submitted an application for 501 (c) (3)

Yolo County Children’s Alliance acted as the interim public charity on behalf of the new corporation. With the 90 days quickly racing by, the newly formed board immediately hired Cam Stoufer to help replace the terminated grants with new funding streams. Cam’s efforts yielded immediate dividends and continued throughout her six years of service. While Cam applied for grant funding, the newly formed Board and the Friends of the Yolo Crisis Nursery were feverishly fundraising

to save the nursery. The Yolo Crisis Nursery is open today because of the generosity of Yolo County citizens, businesses and organizations, as well as our families and friends nationwide. All are connected by our shared belief that every child deserves to grow up in a safe, loving, and stable home. The redemption story of these times is for a different forum than this article, but the angles ranged from bakes sales to large monetary donations. In those 90 days, contributions from family and friends, and the Yolo community of individuals, clubs, churches, and others, as well as grants,

totaled $364,000! At the risk of forgetting someone, I will not attempt to enumerate the many contributors of time, talent and treasure. But, for the sake of deservedness, I must give credit to Yolo County Supervisor Jim Provenza for his advocacy during this perilous time. His commitment and passion for the mission and community need of the Yolo Crisis Nursery became the cornerstone of our successful fundraising efforts. In 2015, the newly licensed, nonprofit corporation Yolo Crisis Nursery Inc. began standalone activity. Sleuter was named executive director and has continued in that capacity

to this day. In our first full year as an independent nonprofit, we served 129 children. Last year, we served 692 children. We serve at-risk children ages birth to 5 years old and their families as an upstream investment in the future of our community. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought new challenges to the nursery. The Yolo Crisis Nursery is an essential service and has remained open during the stay-at-home orders. “Over six months into the pandemic, we have more families than ever in crisis. We are seeing increases in client’s experiencing domestic violence, homelessness, and postpartum depression,” Sleuter said. “In addition, we are helping essential workers with young children and distributing record numbers of care packages in our community. The need has never been greater.” As it has since 2001, the Nursery has remained open, serving a population under great stress. These families are hit hardest by the pandemic and are struggling with homelessness, unemployment, isolation, and uncertainty. I invite you to support the Nursery and the children they serve with your time, talents, or a donation. To learn more please visit www.yolocrisisnursery.org. We are community.

Garamendi names Flynn Woman of the Year Enterprise staff Anne Marie Flynn, the Mutual Housing California community development officer in charge of resident programs for the nonprofit affordable housing developer, has been honored as a 2020 Woman of the Year by Rep. John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove. “These leaders come from a variety of backgrounds, but every one of them has made a real difference in their communities and the people around them,” GaraFLYNN mendi said in a stateHonored by ment before Garamendi Wednesday night’s presentation of the Women of the Year awards. “Anne Marie Flynn is a selfless and dedicated member of her community, and it’s a privilege to be able to honor her as a Woman of the Year.” The award is designed to recognize women who Garamendi said “have been nominated by their peers and have demonstrated a clear commitment to their community through their leadership and dedication to public service.” Flynn was one of 35 women honored by Garamendi in his Yolo County-based Third Congressional District that also includes Solano, Sutter, Yuba, Napa, Colusa, Glenn and Lake counties, as well as a portion of Sacramento County. Flynn accepted the honor on a Zoom call in what Garamendi described as a “virtual awards

NAME DROPPERS ceremony.” A native of Red Bluff, she attended the ceremony while watching it in her home town with her mother, Jane Flynn. “I am honored to be included among this group of impactful and powerful women who are making a difference in the lives of people in our region,” Flynn said. “I thank my parents for raising me with a true example of devotion to service and the value of community. While I appreciate having the light shined on me as part of this award, I want to turn it around and shine it back on all the women in our communities who are doing the work day after day to create change. We have a lot of work left to do and could use all the energy we can get.” Flynn has served as the community development officer since joining Sacramento-based Mutual Housing’s executive staff in 2015. In the past five years, she has managed multiple programs designed to assist the agency’s 3,165 mostly lowincome residents in improving their own lives and establishing futures for themselves outside the confines of poverty. “Under Anne-Marie’s leadership, our widely recognized ‘maximize your credit,’ electric carshare and ‘culture of college’ programs have helped our residents improve their financial standing, make essential trips and keep their important appointments, and also to look to a better future by instilling in themselves and their children the idea

that higher education is a possibility for everyone,” said Mutual Housing CEO Roberto Jimenez. “She is the epitome of a team player, and her positive outlook and ability to facilitate discussions make her a joy to work with.” Flynn also directs Mutual Housing’s acclaimed community-building and community organizing programs in which residents engage themselves in the management of their 19 individual communities and also in the decision-making process of their wider neighborhoods and communities. This past year, Flynn helped organize and manage Mutual Housing’s stepped-up food distribution program brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. Under her guidance, Mutual Housing was able to distribute an estimated 30,000 meals to its residents in Sacramento and Yolo counties, nearly five times the number that would have been given out in a normal year. “I am so pleased to see Anne Marie acknowledged as a Woman of the Year Award recipient,” said Davis Mayor Gloria Partida, with whom Flynn — a Davis resident — has maintained a close working relationship. “Having worked with Anne Marie I am glad to see that her commitment to the community and level of passion to work towards higher-level ideals are being recognized.” — Do you know of someone who has won an award or accomplished something noteworthy?

MISSING: Police kept pushing From Page A1

OWEN YANCHER/ENTERPRISE FILE PHOTO

Residents of The Green at UC Davis get tested Sept. 17 at the Pavilion before moving in. The whole process featured extensive protocols to limit transmission of the coronavirus.

ZERO: UCD to expand access to rapid testing From Page A1 private lab for analysis. To date, the testing data on the online dashboard is from the nasal swab tests. UC Davis initially restricted access to its inhouse COVID-19 tests to students residing on campus, at The Green or in fraternity or sorority residences, all of whom are required to be tested weekly. Last week, the campus began implementing its plan to expand access to testing, making the rapid tests available to personnel from the campus Police and Fire departments, Student Health and Counseling Services, and Occupational Health Services. On Friday, UC Davis Chancellor Gary S. May announced that a second IntelliQube instrument, which is used to process the saliva sample tests at the Genome Center on campus, was installed, and the campus plans to expand rapid testing to an additional 7,000 people over the next two weeks. The tests will be for “students and employees who are coming to campus regularly or even occasionally,” May said. In the coming weeks and months, UC Davis

plans to further expand its testing capacity to everyone using campus facilities and eventually to the wider Davis community. UC Davis has partnered with Yolo County to trace the contacts of students and employees who test positive. Close contacts are required to quarantine for 14 days, while individuals sick with COVID-19 must isolate for 10 days after their first symptoms appeared and must have improved symptoms with no fever before they end their isolation, as is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Roughly 400 on-campus beds have been set aside for quarantine and isolation. According to the campus dashboard, 1 percent of those rooms are currently in use. UC Davis has a separate COVID-19 reporting system for students and employees living offcampus, who are required to self-report to UC Davis by email if they are diagnosed with COVID-19. There are currently 18 students and 11 employees with active cases. Of the 29 total active cases, 12 students and employees reported that they have not visited campus this

month, and some of those who tested positive may be living outside of Davis or California. According to a survey conducted in early September, half of all UC Davis undergraduates and 70% of graduate students were expected to be living in Davis during the fall quarter. In total, roughly 25,000 of the nearly 40,000 students enrolled this quarter are estimated to be in Davis. Fall quarter began amid vocal concern from community members about the risk of students sparking new outbreaks, as has happened in college towns across the country. In the months leading up to the quarter, campus administrators, scientists and health experts developed an extensive set of protocols to minimize transmission of the virus and established systems to test and trace. So far, those preparations and the efforts of students, staff and faculty appear to be paying off. “All of us should be proud of ourselves for how things are going, but we must not be complacent,” May said. “Please keep wearing your face coverings, maintaining physical distance and washing your hands often.”

Sheriff ’s Office detectives who, despite the passage of time, never let the case go. “I have memories of the department working it a lot,” said Yolo County Sheriff Tom Lopez, who became a rookie deputy not long after Dolores Wulff went missing from her Hillcrest home west of Woodland. “Most of the family suspected Carl right away,” added Lopez, noting that investigators found a bloodied blanket in the trunk of the family car, but never located a body. Detectives regularly followed Wulff, “even with airplanes, just trying to figure out what his travels were, in case he tried going back to the scene.” Carl Wulff was arrested and charged but never tried, his case ultimately dismissed due to lack of evidence. He died in 2005. “Back in the day, unless you had a body, it was hard to get a conviction,” Lopez said, an obstacle that law enforcement would start to overcome more than two decades later with advancements in DNA science.

Persistence Meanwhile, investigators at the Benicia Police Department had a mystery of their own. On Sept. 17, 1979 — just six weeks after Dolores Wulff ’s disappearance — sailboaters out for a leisurely cruise discovered a lower torso that had washed upon along the Carquinez Strait shoreline. With no available fingerprints or dental work to use for comparison, the remains went unidentified, buried as a Jane Doe in a

Solano County cemetery. “We didn’t have the technology like we have today to link the cases together,” Lopez said. Law enforcement agencies, then protective of their respective cases, also were less communicative with one another. Fast-forward 41 years to this past July, when the Doe Network — a nonprofit organization of volunteers who work with police to match missing persons to John and Jane Doe cases — contacted the Solano County Coroner’s Office with a possible identity for the Benicia remains. While the two turned out not to be a match, Benicia Detective Sgt. Kenneth Hart continued to work on the case, expanding the search to include women who went missing between Sacramento and San Francisco in 1979. “While 11 results returned similar, one stood out: Dolores Wulff,” Benicia police said in a news release issued late last week. In cooperation with the Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office, including Deputy Coroner Laurel Weeks, whose caseload includes the county’s John and Jane Does, Hart obtained a DNA swab from Paul Wulff, now a football coach at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Back in Solano County, sheriff ’s officials exhumed the unidentified remains and collected DNA from a femur bone. On Tuesday, Benicia police learned from the state Department of Justice DNA lab that the two genetic samples proved a match.

Work continues At his home in Bozeman, Mont., where he operates

an Angus cattle ranch, Tom Wulff experienced mixed reactions to the news. “I think my first emotion was anger, because of the fact that she was found a month and a half after she disappeared, and we’re only finding out now that it was her,” Wulff said in a phone interview Friday. Eventually, anger gave way to gratitude — for finally having answers, and for being able to soon bury his mother’s remains alongside those of her beloved parents and brother. “I think it will be a very good experience for our family and friends,” said Wulff, noting that he’s been flooded with messages from well-wishers in the past few days. “The amount of support we’ve had has been phenomenal.” Wulff also acknowledged investigators’ consistent efforts over the years to determine what happened to his mother that summer night. “It’s a blessing that they continue to work these cases,” he said. “We’re all grateful for everybody keeping the light on the story.” Still, the case isn’t closed. Lopez said his department plans to hand over its evidence to the Department of Justice for further analysis, which he said could potentially point to other suspects in Dolores Wulff ’s death. “We’ll make a determination whether we’re going to pursue any other leads for let it lie where it is,” Lopez said. “It’s all about trying to get closure for the family, and prosecuting people. But closure is the primary thing, especially after all these years.” — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenter prise.net. Follow her on Twitter at @laurenkeene

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2020

Flower Arrangers meet online Special to The Enterprise The Davis Flower Arrangers will meet Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 7 p.m. via Zoom. The program for each meeting is unique and presented by a well known flower arranger. November’s program is titled “Anything Goes” and focuses on how to be creative with recycled items. MJ Kelly, long-time Davis Flower Arrangers member and former president, will demonstrate how to design floral arrangements using recycled items while maintaining principles of good design. She will reveal some of her favorite tips and techniques as she demonstrates how to adapt unconventional items to anchor, build and support arrangements with movement, balance, proportion, and emphasis. MJ Kelly known for her verve and talent with floral design, as well as for her wit, humor, and storytelling abilities plans to surprise us with her very unusual suggestions

about improvising with common items. Her ultimate goal is to inspire us to utilize the unusual in arrangements. After the program, participants should be able to look around their own homes with fresh eyes to see that “anything goes” when creating unique and memorable floral arrangements. Creative adaptation and interpretation come naturally to Kelly, who has degrees in interior design and nursing. After her children left home and she retired from her career as an RN she began training in the Western style of floral design taught by Mary Fonseca. She has also enjoyed 18 years of study with Sensei Kika Shibata exploring the immense possibilities of creating beauty in the Sogetsu school of Ikebana. She discovered her creative passion in the freedom of Sogetsu and continues to share her joy and wisdom. She has won two Best of Shows in the

Camellia Festival and is a past president of Davis Flower Arrangers, Sacramento Floral Design Guild and Ikebana International, Chapter 26. To participate in the November program, send a membership check of $40 to Davis Flower Arrangers c/o Jo Anne Boorkman 2205 Butte Place, Davis, CA 95616, as soon as possible. Members have access to the monthly programs via Zoom on the first Wednesday of each month through May 2021. Each month features a newsletter from Sundari, the president of the Davis Flower Arrangers, with the description of each month’s program. The invitation to each month’s presentation will be sent a day or two prior to the program and if you are unable to attend a recording of the program is available. Members are also invited to share their own arrangements they may have created during the programs.

DAVIS HIGH FOOTBALL

A full gridiron slate The day I took a swing at greatness

id I ever tell you about the time I was invited to attempt to hit a baseball thrown by Bob Feller? What, you say you’ve never heard of Bob Feller? I suppose that’s understandable given that his Major League career, all with the Cleveland Indians, ended in 1956 and led to his induction into Cooperstown just six years later. Feller had just finished his junior year of high school in Iowa and was 17 years old when he started his first game in the Major Leagues. He struck out 15 batters that day. Shortly thereafter he struck out 17. A couple of months later he went back to the family farm in Van Meter, Iowa, and finished high school. He had a fastball that was virtually unhittable before they had radar guns to clock his speed, earning him nicknames of “Bullet Bob” and “Rapid Robert.” It was later determined that he topped out at 98.6 mph. In 1940 he no-hit the Chicago White Sox on opening day, finishing the season with 27 wins and 31 complete games. Managers didn’t do pitch counts in those days. Finishing a game was a point of pride with starting pitchers. In 1946, Bob Feller threw 10 shutouts, a figure unheard of today. He finished his career with 266 wins and 2,581 strikeouts despite serving four years in the military during World War II. Had there been no war, it’s easy to imagine he might have ended up being one of the winningest pitchers ever.

was not playing Major League baseball when Bob Feller was in his prime. In fact, I never played Major League baseball at any time. But I was playing third base for the Cubs in the Davis Little League near the end of Feller’s career, a career I followed closely through detailed box scores printed in the newspaper. Long after Feller decided to stop terrorizing American League hitters and after I had traded in my baseball glove for an Underwood manual typewriter, I was offered a chance to take a swing or two at a Feller pitch when this retired baseball hero was visiting Sacramento. I wasn’t the only one with such an offer. An invitation had gone out to a number of folks in the media, from small newspapers to radio personalities to nightly news anchors on television. I believe it was the summer of 1974 when we all gathered at Hughes Stadium for our chance to face Bullet Bob before a Sacramento Solons Pacific Coast League game on a warm July evening. If I have the date right, this would put Feller’s age somewhere in his mid-50s, 18 or so years after the end of his Major League career.

Song answers England’s call Former Aggie to play for British pro hoops team BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor When former Aggie Sophia Song was on the court, UC Davis basketball fans knew something special would happen. Last season, the veteran guard’s senior campaign, Song hit a game-winning bucket against arch-rival Sacramento State and made some lategame steals to seal two other games. She overcame a broken hand in January, playing her best basketball — as she always seemed to do — down the stretch. But just as Song and her Aggies were to embark on a run for their second-straight NCAA postseason berth, the pandemic hit, and the Big West Tournament was scrapped. Song figured she had played her last competitive basketball, even though her dream was one day to play in Europe. Soon, Song, who relocated to her home in Southern California and graduated from UCD in June, had an epiphany ... “Playing overseas was always my dream, and my dad’s dream,” Song told The Enterprise via phone. With UCD women’s head coach Jennifer Gross dutifully keeping an eye out for opportunities for Song to play in Europe, a spot at Manchester Metropolitan University (and a graduate-study program) materialized.

Sophia Song, a UC Davis graduate, is adjusting to life overseas as she poses in front of a fountain in London’s Piccadilly Circus. While her season at Manchester Metropolitan University is on hold due to COVID, she is on the court for the city’s Mystics of the professional British Women’s Basketball League. COURTESY PHOTO

With it came a chance to play for the same city’s Mystics of the professional British Women’s Basketball League. “It’s been a dream come true,” Song said from her oncampus studio flat. “It’s been so beautiful. I got lucky enough to get more than enough days of sun when I first got here (three weeks ago). I’m

still in full Taurus mode.” Mystic practices have started, and although her new school’s college season has been scrapped by COVID-19, her pro team is expected to play its first game on Nov. 2. With teammates ranging in age from 18 to 31 years old, Song admits the court environment is different in England.

“Some of these girls have played pro for eight to 10 years,” the 5-11 backcourt maven explained. “There’s a different level of maturity, and in terms of communication, every single person on the team plays like a veteran.” “Sophia was a great teacher

Take a bow Doc, your run is one for the books

uring his 50-year career, Mike (Doc) Emrick set a standard of excellence that probably will never be duplicated. “The Voice of the NHL” retired last Monday. Emrick called New Jersey Devils games before going on to NBC Sports, where he worked for the past 15 seasons. He was known as much for his play-calling ability as his off-ice willingness to help the hundreds of young broadcasters who sought his advice and counsel over the years. Emrick called more than 4,000 games, is a member of seven halls of fame, worked 40 NHL seasons and was behind the mic for 22 Stanley Cup Finals. One doesn’t “replace” Doc Emrick. Someone else may sit in his chair in the future, but that’s as far as it goes. Many observers believe Emrick and Vin Scully are the two best play-by-play people of all time. Emrick’s

motto through the years? “Be sincere, be enthusiastic.” ■ No matter what you think of the political situation in this country — and there is a lot to think about — make sure you do the one thing you have the right to do. Vote! ■ My friend Brian is a longtime college football devotee. Looking at the past two weeks’ score-athons, he observes, “It was entertaining football, but not good football.” ■ Since Joe Thornton’s No. 19 will soon be retired by the San Jose Sharks, Joe has chosen to wear No. 97 with his new team, Toronto. It is the same number Thornton wore in both international and Olympic competition. ■ No matter if your team has been eliminated or is still playing, a true baseball fan still watches the World Series. Including the current one, which lacks most everything that makes the Fall Classic what it

should be, and isn’t, right now. ■ Is there anyone in recent broadcast history who moves as seamlessly between football and baseball as Joe Buck? ■ Looks as though we are stuck with the NFL moniker Washington Football Team at least through 2021. ■ The best football players at any level are those who play “snap to whistle.” In other words, they do the same thing each time, every time, all-out. No taking plays off, no half-ass efforts. ■ Disgraced Olympic sprinter Ben Johnson had less juice in him at the 1988 Games than the

baseballs being used in MLB postseason play. ■ Don’t know who is doing Rob Manfred’s polling, but no one I’ve encountered likes the idea of the free runner at second base to begin an extra inning. However, there seems to be more support for the universal DH (sorry, pitchers) and relief pitchers having to face a minimum of three batters. All three of these rules are on the table for 2021 season and must be collectively bargained. ■ Numerous factors contribute to the growing length of baseball games. One that doesn’t get talked about too much is the commercial time between every half-inning. ■ Given the way the 2020 college football season has gone, isn’t it time to revisit the idea of a Commissioner for the 10 Football Bowl Subdivision conferences? Two ideal candidates come to mind: Oliver Luck, a former college and pro player, athletic

director and NCAA executive, and Jeff Pash, executive vice president/general counsel for the NFL. ■ Mega-agent Scott Boras thinks future World Series should be played at a single site, as is the case right now. Bad idea, Scott. There has to be some reward for the two teams (and their fans) that make it through a normal year’s 162 games and multiple playoff rounds. ■ Giants QB Daniel Jones earned a lifetime pass to the NFL Blooper Hall of Fame with his Thursday night face-plant inside the 10 after a long, long run on a keeper. — Enterprise columnist Doug Kelly is director of communications for Battlefields2Ballfields and managing general partner of Kelly & Associates.

DUNNING: Three pitches to prove myself GRIDIRON: A lot to do From Page B1 day we’d have a story to tell our grandchildren. The rules were simple. We’d each get three pitches. Ball or strike, you’d better swing. Bring your hitting shoes, as my Little League coach, Ed Barrow, would say. One-by-one, Feller tossed softballs to TV types, some of them still wearing coats and ties and dress shoes for a remote telecast. They weren’t actually softballs, but rather real big league baseballs tossed softly. As I waited my turn, I never saw him throw anything over 10 miles an hour. I could have ridden my bicycle that fast. Moving into the on-deck circle, I imagined crushing one of his feeble offerings over the leftfield fence — which was a ridiculously short 233 feet from home plate in this converted football stadium — and tipping my cap to the crowd as I rounded the bases. When my time came, I stepped into the batter’s box, leaned down to grab a handful of dirt to help me grip my wooden Louisville Slugger, banged the plate four or five times with my bat, cocked it confidently over my right shoulder and gazed firmly out to the mound. It was then I saw Bob Feller’s demeanor suddenly shift from that

of an aging star out on a fun-andgames promotional tour to that of a Hall of Fame pitcher in his prime. I could almost hear him sarcastically say, “Oh, we have a wise guy here who thinks he’s a baseball player” as he watched me go through my ritual at the plate. He, too, grabbed some dirt and rubbed it into his hands and onto the red laces of the baseball. He tugged at the bill of his cap and pulled it down nearly to his eyes. He kicked at the pitching rubber a couple of times and gave me the Stare of Death; a look that had struck fear into the hearts of so many great

hitters back in his days in the Majors. I did not see the first pitch. I knew that he had thrown it only because I heard the pop of the ball in the catcher’s mitt. The second pitch appeared to cross the plate before it left his hand, but I managed to give it a courtesy swing so the fans in the stands didn’t think there was a human statue at the plate. Perhaps realizing my ego was shattered and not wishing to cause me further humiliation so early in my promising sportswriting career, Feller threw me a changeup on my third and final pitch that took about 90 seconds to travel the 60-feetand-6-inches from the pitcher’s mound to where I was standing. I managed to foul it off and watched with pride as it rolled back to the screen behind home plate. Bob Feller, the Heater from Van Meter, died in Cleveland on Dec. 15, 2010, at the age of 92. He touched the lives of many fans during his long life, including mine. The other day I told my kids about the day I faced fearsome Bob Feller. And this man, who fanned 2,581 Major Leaguers, was not able to strike me out. “Who is Bob Feller?” they all asked in unison. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

From Page B1 business as usual: “If we move out of our current restrictions, we want people to understand this isn’t necessarily a move forward with skill-set practices, while that will eventually be a component. Our lineman in football won’t be able to play catch together (or start blocking each other).” But a month after the Delta League officials released all of their conference schedules — and now DHS has solidified its nonconference football slate — it seems like Yolo County is moving in the right direction concerning high school athletics. Lorenson pointed to DHS’ strict protocols for reporting to practices, then participating in them. Since the Blue Devil teams reunited more than a month ago, the school has reported zero COVID-19 cases among players, their parents or coaches. And what about fans? At this point, allowing fans to attend football or other Davis High sports next year is a decision still down the road, Lorenson says.

It must be remembered that as of today, Yolo County prep athletes aren’t even allowed indoors for workouts. “I’m thinking people would be totally fine with saying, ‘In order for our kids to be able to have a season, everybody has to be able to stay away,’ ” Lorenson thought. “If we can have two teams come in, just compete against each other (then exit), that’s what I think we need to do. “My hope is we play. My next (concern) is to think about crowds. How big and who gets in?” Lorenson cited his small Minnesota alma mater, Canon Falls High, and how it has handled its crowd control. Already playing football, CFH allows 250 people to attend each football game. The parents of team members get dibs on the first 100 tickets. Seniors at the school are offered the next 100 with the remaining 50 sold to the general public. — Reach sports editor Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet 41@gmail.com or call 530320-4456.

Trick or treat, kinda ... As part of what is expected to be an action-packed sports seasons, UC Davis and the Junior Aggies Club will celebrate Halloween with an hour-long virtual party on Thursday. The club’s monthly events have been online and the Halloween “outing” features a costume party, group interaction on screen and a handful of physical exercises. Hosts include women’s soccer player Bryanna Duckett, Bailey Herdman from beach volleyball, baseball standout Cooper Morrison and football’s Darius Livingston. The starts at 3:30 p.m. “We are hosting monthly virtual events via Zoom for our Junior Aggies until we are able to be back live in person,” Danielle Shank, assistant athletics director for marketing. “We want our Junior Aggies to wear their costumes and be ready to share their favorite aspects of Hallow-

Signups for the club are being taken at ucdavisaggies.com/ sports/2018/7/13/junior-aggieclub.aspx.

Get in the game Remember those cool cutouts in the stands for MLB games this summer? As the college basketball season fast approaches in late November, UC Davis has found a way for its fans to attend, even if humans aren’t allowed in The Pavilion right away. Interested in having you, your family members or pets immortalized in cardboard? The price

is right and ordering is pretty simple ... For students, cutouts cost $25 and, when games are streamed, they’ll be a new-wave opportunity to say hello to your friends and family back home. For everybody else, your seasonlong seat is assured for $50. UCD Athletics says there are discounts for the purchase of three of more cutouts, and, should you decide to make a group purchase (hint, hint: maybe your entire office staff or family wants to go cheer on the Aggies), you can call the campus Ticket Office at 530-752-2471 for deeper discounts.

Fence cleared The UC Davis equestrian team — in only its third season of existence — has jumped into the national conversion as the first polls of the season have put the Aggies at No. 10. The standing matches the highest in the history of the program and is only the second time that the Aggies have made the

top 10 after their debut in the national polls on Feb. 25 last season. UCD won three of its final four meets of the shortened 2019-20 season, a run that included an upset of then-No. 10 Tennessee-Martin. One of three Eastern College Athletic Conference squads in the top 10 (league rivals SMU and Fresno State enter the year at No. 5 and No. 6, respectively), the Aggies find themselves in the discussion with top-ranked Auburn — which has won three of the last four national titles — followed by Oklahoma State, South Carolina, Georgia and SMU to round up the upper echelon. After Fresno comes No. 7 Texas A&M, No. 8 TCU and No. 9 Baylor. The Aggies are coming off a 2019-20 season that saw them finish 3-6 overall and 2-1 against conference foes. The rugged schedule featured six nationally ranked squads. UC Davis returns 24 letter winners from last year’s team and welcomes nine newcomers — eight freshmen and one transfer.

COMMENTARY

New financial law keeps it vague

Is coronavirus A killing iconic New York? BY LLEWELLYN KING Special to The Enterprise

listair Cooke, the great British journalist who wrote his weekly “Letter from America” — a paean to the United States — for 58 years, reserved some of his most lavish praise for Manhattan. When Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet leader, visited America and wanted to see Disney World, Cooke told him he’d never see anything as extraordinary as the Manhattan skyline. I was reminded of this long-ago admonishment recently, when I had the opportunity to see Manhattan from the water, cruising around the island on a friend’s yacht, looking at that skyline, those fingers of buildings, thrusting toward heaven in a forest of architectural and engineering creativity that has no equal on earth. Dubai may aspire but it doesn’t compete. Manhattan is awe on steroids. I’ve savored and, at times, detested it for decades. I suffered its awfulness at the bottom when many newspapers closed and I, an immigrant with no resources, found work as a busboy at the Horn & Hardart on 42nd Street — one of the food-service automats which were once a feature of New York. They were where the hapless could sit unbothered for long hours without buying anything beyond coffee; where they could stay warm and sheltered in the winter. I’ve also savored Manhattan in good times, staying at the Carlyle Hotel, one of the best hotels in the world, up there with the Ritz in Paris and Brown’s in London. It was said when I lived there in the 1960s, that New York was a city for the extraordinarily rich and the extremely poor. I found work in Washington and stayed south; New York became a place to visit. If it was a hard place to be poor in 1965, the extremes of poverty and wealth only increased with time. More great buildings, enabled by engineering that allowed them to be planted in smaller plots of land, sprouted in Manhattan. Spindle apartment buildings and sprawling waterfront office developments were built with money that flowed in from hedge funds, tech companies, Russian oligarchs, Chinese billionaires and Middle Eastern oil-garchs. On Sept. 11, 2001, the Big Apple felt its vulnerability to a hostile, premeditated attack. Now it is facing its greatest crisis, one that will wound it mortally if not fatally: COVID-19. New York has an uncertain future. People are moving out, selling their expensive coops at a loss, and buying in less-crowded places on Long Island, in the Hudson Valley, Connecticut and even farther afield.

s I looked in wonder at the city of striving people, epitomized by its buildings which themselves seem to strive to go ever higher, I wondered whether New York is over, destined to a slow death; its apartments in the clouds likely to be abandoned, and its trove of office space to sit empty as a new generation grows into the idea that working from home — home far away — is the norm, the new way to think about work. The New York Times has looked at the problem and its writers can’t, it seems, bring themselves to answer the question: Is it over? The city’s impending tragedy will be played out in other cities, but it is in New York that it will be most visible, most painful; the dream most shattered. Sure, you might say, it was built on greed and now it must pay the price. But it was also built on much else: immigration, diversity, financial acumen, theater, fine art, sweat and toil — and that most human of emotions: aspiration. I hope the new normal will allow cities to recover and New York to swagger forward as it has in the past: difficult to live in and difficult to live without. It’s a miracle of a city, a big shiny apple. — Llewellyn King is executive producer and host of “White House Chronicle” on PBS. His email is llewellynking1@gmail. com. He wrote this for InsideSources.com.

ssembly Bill 1864 didn’t get much media or public attention as it zipped through both houses of the Legislature on the last day of the 2020 session. Superficially, it appeared merely to reconfigure the state’s financial regulatory agencies into a new entity called the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation. However, those in California’s vast financial industry were paying lots of attention because the bill creates an entirely new regulatory regime with broad powers, including fines of up to $1 million a day, to police financial players that hitherto have had little oversight. The official rationale for the legislation is that President Donald Trump’s administration neutered the federal Dodd-Frank Wall Street Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010, so the state must step in with an equivalent to guard against predatory financial practices that harm consumers. The new California Consumer Financial Protection Law gives the reconstituted agency authority to go after “abusive practices” whose

definition in the law is fairly vague. Thus, the agency itself will define the term as it also decides which businesses will face its scrutiny. It appears that the new law will affect firms involved in debt settlement, credit repair, check cashing, rent-to-own contracts, payday lending, student loan servicing and financing for retail sales. However, its primary target seems to be financial services offered by non-banks, particularly what are called “fintech companies” that offer banklike services via the Internet without maintaining physical offices. Fintechs, many of them based in the San Francisco Bay Area, have blossomed in recent years as part of the digital economy, competing with traditional brick-andmortar banks. Their disruptive nature is not unlike the challenge that technologybased ride services such as

Uber and Lyft pose to taxicabs and buses. Late-blooming changes in AB 1864 exempted traditional financial firms that are already regulated, such as banks and credit unions, from the new consumer protection law, leading some analysts to conclude that its unstated aim is to help them stave off competition from new kids on the financial block.

he vagueness of the new law was encapsulated in what Gov. Gavin Newsom said during a signing ceremony. The new law and the new department, he said, will “create conditions for innovation to flourish in a way where we can steward that and we can just work against its excesses. So we support risk-taking, not recklessness.” Newsom also signed two other financial protection measures, one that requires debt collectors to be licensed beginning in 2022 and the other creating a Student Loan Borrower Bill of Rights. Although the new state law is said to mirror the DoddFrank law, it contains at least one significant difference. When federal regulators levy fines for what they consider

to be bad conduct, the money goes into the federal treasury. When state regulators impose their fines of up to $1 million a day, the money will be retained by the new agency to finance more activity. Will that give the new agency a financial incentive to skip over minor consumer issues and go after big companies? It’s a question that only time will answer. Significantly too, the new investigative and regulatory mechanism contained in AB 1964 specifically does not usurp the authority of the attorney general to also target companies under the state’s equally vague “unfair competition” law. From its inception a decade ago, Dodd-Frank has attracted criticism from business executives for regulatory overkill. Will California’s new version be less controversial? We won’t know until the new agency puts some definitional meat on its bones. — CalMatters is a public interest journalism venture committed to explaining how California’s state Capitol works and why it matters.

LETTERS Arnold supports those in need I am a longtime resident of what is now referred to as District 2. I am also a disabled veteran. I was aghast at the shakedown that resulted in district voting. I did find a bright side to this nonsense. Will Arnold represents us in District 2. I have known Will for more years than I care to admit. In all that time he has exhibited the pride and compassion for our fair city that I and many of us feel. He is just getting warmed up in tackling difficult issues that our city faces. Please join me in reelecting Will Arnold for Davis City Council. Craig Allen Davis

Chapman an advocate It is with great pleasure that I endorse Josh Chapman for Davis City Council in District 5. Although I don’t live in District 5, and therefore cannot vote for Josh, I do work in District 5, and I know first-hand what a strong and committed advocate Josh will be for South Davis. As the librarian at Montgomery Elementary School, I have had the pleasure of getting to know Josh and his wonderful family. Josh volunteers at our school and works hard to support our entire school community. He understands the diversity of South Davis and has the experience we need on the City Council to be a voice for our marginalized families and community members. His background shows that he knows how to work toward inclusivity. Developing a stronger partnership between the city and the school district is more important now than ever. Josh will help build that partnership through vision and collaboration. He will also keep the idea of a County Library in South Davis alive and work to make it a reality. Now is the time for new, strong leadership for South Davis. Vote Josh Chapman for City Council, District 5. Nora Brazil Davis

subcommittee and county staff to develop, implement, monitor and adaptively manage a COVID response plan. I have had faith in these actions and appreciate the concern and diligence. In addition, he has shown a deep commitment during COVID to make sure that affordable child-care is available for essential workers and those who cannot work from home. Recently, he successfully targeted $250,000 for this purpose. Jim also worked with the county and nonprofit relief organizations to direct hundreds of thousands of dollars for housing, food, and other necessities of life for those impacted by COVID-19. For over 30 years, Jim has worked tirelessly within many levels of government to promote services for seniors, children, crime victims, immigrants, and the disabled. It is therefore not surprising that he has put “body and soul” in to protecting the community during COVID, especially those who are the most at-risk, healthwise and economically. His record clearly supports that his career has been guided by a dedication to these vulnerable groups. Providing necessary social services for residents is perhaps the most important responsibility of a county supervisor. Jim’s long list of accomplishments for the senior and other at-risk populations is noteworthy. For example, he is currently working to expand the size of the Yolo Adult Day Health Center to better serve this rapidly growing population. He also identified funding, formed, and chairs the Yolo Healthy Aging Alliance. His dedication to this group is inspiring. In my opinion, his work for the Alliance has been one of Jim’s signature achievements. Jim Provenza gives us institutional memory, proven accomplishments and

Vote for Swanson I’m supporting Rochelle Swanson for District 5 on the Davis City Council because not only does she represent the part of town that I call home, but she’s committed to balancing our city’s great culture with the need for expanding our footprint as an innovation epicenter. My experience tells me that it is possible to attract and retain a variety of high valueadded industries that support a wellrounded diversity of job types without losing the qualities that make Davis such a great place to live. We need leaders like Rochelle who have experience in bridging the philosophical aspiration and practical aspects. We need leaders who can present a vision for our community and a desire to engage all of our residents. We cannot afford beginners at this juncture during this time of crisis. Rochelle has a proven track record from her prior tenure on the Davis City Council as a leader who relentlessly advocated for investment in Davis. She served as an ambassador bridging the gap between business leaders and Davis, and elevated our community as one where companies can plant their seed and grow. Rochelle was involved with several pro-business organizations in our region. Electing Rochelle will be critical when Measure B passes because she is the best candidate who knows how to work

reast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women worldwide, claiming the lives of hundreds of thousands of women each year. Every two minutes, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. More than 85% of them are the first in their family to be diagnosed. Many survivors are unable to work, and face a heavy financial burden with limited insurance. They need resources and meaningful support on a local level. Thriving Pink is seeking donations during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month to help local survivors. We are very grateful to this community for their generous support which has sustained our core programs during these unprecedented times. This past year, Thriving Pink has awarded 41 local breast cancer survivors with financial grants, and the local nonprofit is planning ahead and hopeful to raise enough funds to meet

THRIVING PINK the needs of the Granting Pink program early next year. In the past four years, the program has awarded more than $128,000, with $51,400 in grants this year. “The financial awards directly help women from this community of Davis and Yolo County. They live here, work here, are treated here, and raise their families here”, says executive director Mary Yin Liu. Although many are unable to work due to fatigue from treatments and doctor appointments, this recent group of grant awardees came from all different backgrounds. They are gardeners, elementary school teachers, counselors, chefs, professors, engineers, a professional violinist and clarinet musician, a house cleaner, and home health aide. Almost all of them are first and foremost Moms and daughters, with a few of them pregnant these past

Most of the grant recipients are also newly diagnosed within the past year with no family history of the disease. “I’m a newlywed, just married and 36

years old. I rushed home to my husband to process the devastating news. I went through 30 rounds of radiation — with your help, I did it,” shares one grant recipient. Thriving Pink pays for their medical bills, surgery,

treatment, healthcare insurance, food, shelter, groceries and rent. One grant recipient, Dannelle Larsen-Rife shares her appreciation, “I am so thankful to all those who supported Thriving Pink to make this possible. The financial help goes a long way since my insurance didn’t cover most of my monthly treatments costing over $100,000. I am facing stage IV cancer with three children, and I’m on my own after my husband left me and my family. I’m still here even though the doctor told me two years ago that I would not survive four months of chemo treatment.” The Granting Pink program provides much needed financial assistance for immediate and direct needs. Thriving Pink also offers ongoing support for local breast cancer survivors through a Mentoring Pink program which provides professionally facilitated healthcare and wellness workshops, support groups and a connection to Pink Peers for

newly diagnosed women. All of the programs and services are offered at no cost to the community. Visit www.thrivingpink. org to learn more about Thriving Pink or to donate online. Donations can be made by local businesses or individuals as a community partner or in honor/in memory of a loved one. As the only nonprofit in Yolo County which focuses on supporting and serving local breast cancer survivors, Thriving Pink has become an essential resource and network of support for newly diagnosed women and their families. Please email info@thrivingpink.org if you or a neighbor, friend, or family member needs support after a breast cancer diagnosis. We are volunteer driven and led by many local survivors/ thrivers who are committed to helping others through this difficult journey. — Submitted by the Thriving Pink board of directors.

POEM OF THE MONTH When You Are Old When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face; And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. — William Butler Yeats ———— Lost love is the source of many poems, few finer than this one by Nobel-winning poet William Butler Yeats. Heartbreak is all too common in the human experience, and can easily happen to us more than once. In this fine description of regret, Yeats puts a melancholy music in his language, which is encased in an interesting rhyme pattern. And after all, how many loved your own moments of glad grace? — James Lee Jobe Poet laureate, city of Davis

LETTERS From Page B4 closely with the myriad entities that must come together to create such an innovation center. Rochelle has strong working relationships with innovation leaders in the Greater Sacramento region. She demonstrated in her prior terms in office that she gets the importance of economic development. Our small businesses can only thrive when we have a range of companies and businesses creating and supporting jobs in town. The choice is clear. Davis is at a crossroads. We’re facing the uncertainty of an economic downturn and grappling with how we can continue to keep the high quality of life we expect. Rochelle’s expertise both as a community leader and coalition builder is exactly what we need on the Council. Please join me in voting Rochelle Swanson for District 5. Dr. Christian Renaudin South Davis

Deos will meet this moment Linda Deos is running for the Yolo County Board of Supervisors Fourth District and she is the candidate who will meet this moment. An attorney with a

background in employment and consumer law, Linda is a smart, dedicated community member who has been a long-time advocate for social justice issues and smart solutions that make local government work. I am supporting her candidacy because she brings demonstrated experience, has an ability and willingness to listen and has the courage to fight for everyone in our county. The Board of Supervisors makes critical decisions on a breadth of important issues affecting women, and I would like to see more women serving on the elected governing board in Yolo County. Now is the time and Linda is the woman for the job. The county is the entity that takes care of the most vulnerable among us, and Linda is especially well equipped and ready to serve, lead and advocate for our community. Linda will bring a progressive approach to county governance, and will ensure that the Board of Supervisors addresses crucial issues including: the rising cost of child care, a child welfare system that removes children from their homes at a higher rate than in other counties, the availability of affordable housing, the needs of seniors and the needs of the unhoused. She will also seek change in the areas of criminal justice and protections for immigrants, particularly migrant farmworkers. To address these issues and others, Linda will insist on a process with greater transparency and that includes

engagement of a broad and diverse group of stakeholders. Linda will go the distance. She will be an accessible representative and bring visionary leadership and new perspective to our Board of Supervisors, focusing on the most important issues impacting Yolo County. Please join me in voting for Linda Deos for Yolo County Supervisor, Fourth District, on Nov. 3. Rachael Fulp-Cooke Davis

Measure B Some people and organizations have opposed the Davis Innovation and Sustainability Campus on environmental grounds. I believe their arguments fail to appreciate the benefits this project will bring and overstate their case on several counts. Sprawl: The DISC site is probably the least likely site on the city’s edge that would lead to further growth because all the adjacent farmland is already protected in perpetuity through conservation easements. These easements provide a hard edge to further growth either north or east of the DISC site. DISC is certainly peripheral development, but it is not sprawl. Plantings on site. Native plant species, such as valley oak, are critical for supporting native birds and insects and other animals that support the full food chain.

The landscaping plan for the non-open space portions of DISC will include many valley oaks and native pollinator plants. This will provide a substantial biodiversity benefit over the current farm field. Off-site features. While there will be inevitable loss of agricultural land and raptor foraging habitat through the construction of DISC, there are measures in place to help offset these losses. The current mitigation plan calls for a 1:1 ratio of foraging habitat and roughly 2:1 ratio of agricultural land to be protected in the Davis area. These will not create new land, but they will serve to protect over 500 acres of nearby land in perpetuity. Public access: When the Davis open space program went through the public process of developing a strategic plan several years ago, one of the major goals expressed by many Davis residents was expansion of public access to open space. DISC will provide public trails through the entire agricultural buffer as well as through the riparian area that will be developed along the drainage ditch. As someone who cares deeply about issues around open space and habitat, I support the DISC and urge Davis voters to vote yes on Measure B because the DISC will be a net benefit to open space and habitat in the Davis area.

Teaching gratitude Dear Annie: Many of the letters to you complain of ungrateful children and adults who don’t send thank-you’s, don’t call, or who are otherwise ungrateful. Too often, children (aka future adults) are taught to be takers, not givers, so they don’t build habits of giving, giving back, or sending replies. Let’s change that. Starting early, let’s teach children to feel joy as givers themselves. Teach youngsters to pack up a few of their too-small, but clean clothes, outgrown or neglected toys, already-completed puzzles, etc., and let them go with you to drop them off at a local donation center or shelter in need. Designate a box for donations to always have somewhere in your house. When they receive a gift, help them write a thank you, help a tot to include inside a thank you a smiling face picture they have drawn. With grown kids, children or grandchildren, especially if they never or seldom reply, or if they just have a surfeit of “things,” tell them you have sent a check to a charity in their name. They may then think to do the same. Take this as a lifetime project, and don’t limit your own giving to family, etc., but reach out to the world, after a flood or fire or refugee situation. Include something in your seasonal letter about your joy in giving to some worthwhile organization (but check with Charity Navigator for the reliability of the charity, especially with money gifts). There are a great many needs near home or across the world. Let you be a giver! And encourage children, and others in your family and beyond, to do the same. — Dick Nelson, Retired Counselor Educator Dear Dick: Fantastic advice that, if followed on a mass scale, would help create a more generous world. Thanks for writing. ——— Dear Annie: I’m sure your inbox gets flooded this time of year about problem relatives and holiday dinners. My 35-year-old nephew, “Nick,” has been separated from his wife, “Nora,” for the past three years. They have five children under the age of 7.

ANNOUNCEMENT

GRAND OPENING

Nick, Nora and the kids all come to Thanksgiving dinner, and the children act like wild banshees the whole time. Nick and Nora sit at separate tables and ignore one another and their children. I don’t think they have ever said “no” to these children. Nick just sits at the table, staring, like a deer caught in the headlights. Other members of the family bring their young children, and those children are well-behaved. I’ve never had children or been around them so I’m already starting at an uncomfortable place. I need a tranquilizer after Thanksgiving dinner. It’s my youngest brother and his wife, “Rose,” who host the dinner, as they are the only ones with a big enough house. I confided in my Rose that it would be a much more peaceful celebration if they didn’t invite Nick, Nora and their kids this year. Rose agreed but said that wasn’t being a good Christian to not invite them. I told her that when Jesus said to turn the other cheek, he didn’t say, “Let the person slap the heck out of you.” Rose said, “What if Nora invites herself?” I answered it was all about what she wanted, and I wouldn’t say anything else about it. What do you think? — Fed Up Dear Fed Up: Rose’s house, Rose’s guest list. I suggest you take up meditation or another calming practice between now and then and engage in said calming activity before heading to her house on Thanksgiving. If and when the noise gets to be too much, take your leave, and be grateful you only have to be in the middle of the hullabaloo for a few hours every year versus 24 hours a day.

Sink or swim Dear Annie: My sister-in-law of more than 40 years has again done something that I feel is disrespectful. She has taken one of my granddaughters under her wing. What’s wrong with that? A few years ago, our then-21year-old granddaughter moved in with us to save money. We gave

her three months, rent-free, to get on her feet; her grandfather also cooked lunch and dinner for her, without cost. She agreed to save $1,000 a month and use it to rent an apartment and eventually it became a down payment on a house. She ended up living with us for almost two and a half years. During that time, she should have saved more than $20,000. Instead, she invested thousands into a scam business by a boyfriend. We were ready to ask her to move out late last year, but then she learned she was pregnant. We agreed to support her until the baby was born. She agreed she would have her own apartment before the baby came but stay with us till she went into labor. Well, she never actually went to look at apartments, just found excuses why none of them would work. One day, I found one she could afford, in a good neighborhood, not too far from her work. She refused to even go look at it, and over the next hour or so, in text messages, she became belligerent. When she said: “You’re stressing me out! If I lose this baby, I hope you commit suicide!” That was the last straw. We packed her stuff, put it on the porch and changed the locks. (We’re in our 70s, we weren’t prepared for an angry 20-something.) On that day, she had probably $7,000 in savings and could have easily rented an apartment. Now, enter my sister-in-law, “Mayra.” Mayra basically gave her a get-out-of-jail-free card and undercut the independence that we were trying to instill in our granddaughter. Mayra lets her stay there with her sometimes. She babysits for her. She lets her use her address for mail. Meanwhile, our daughter lives in a group home provided by a church she never went to, has lost her job and blames us for all of it to anyone who will listen. I don’t want to confront Mayra because I don’t want to implode

the family, again. But I don’t want to pretend that nothing is wrong. So I’ve just been avoiding talking to her. How do I handle these two relationships, or better, how do I NOT? — Peeved Parents Dear Peeved: You were wise to push this overgrown birdy out of the nest so that she might learn how to fly. Now, let her learn. Don’t track her every move from your perch up above. If your sister-in-law chooses to take her under her wing, that is between the two of them, and it’s in no way a personal affront to you. Once you unburden of the illusion that you can control your granddaughter’s life, I think you’ll find the resentment toward your sister-in-law starting to melt away, and you’ll feel much lighter for it.

Caught in the middle Dear Annie: I have close friends who in the past few years have gravitated to both the far left and far right of the sociopolitical spectrum. It has made it hard on both my wife and me, as we sit somewhere in the middle. Today’s environment does not seem to allow for compromise or conversations of differing opinions. I love my friends dearly, but have found myself less and less likely to join them in social gatherings. This is because conversations always turn to politics, and the sarcasm, and sometimes vitriol, of my friends’ opinions ruins what should be a happy gettogether. The pandemic does not help, as it adds another layer of opinion to the conversation and limits the number of times we can all get together. I miss when we all could just get together and enjoy each other’s company. Now, my wife and I would rather sit at home alone with the kids than go out and see anyone. I’m not sure how to deal with an isolation that is both pandemic and socially caused. How do we find a way to get back to a time when a get-together was a chance to unwind and visit with friends? — Stuck in the Middle Dear Stuck in the Middle: You’re not alone. Our politics are extremely polarized these days. My advice is to agree in advance not to discuss politics, which

includes a rule saying no snide cracks from either side. That way, you can all enjoy the many things that made you friends in the first place. If they can’t go along, then you are right to stay home with your wife and kids, but try to persuade your friends to get together to share the many bonds and interests you all have without political interference. ——— Dear Annie: This is regarding the man who was not interested in being a grandparent. We have a daughter, and bringing her up was a privilege, but being a grandparent is 100 times better. We have a 27-month-old granddaughter and another on the way, due just before the holidays. I have friends who say it is better than being a parent because you don’t change diapers. Well, we still change the occasional diaper, but the greatest part is that we do not see our granddaughter every day but (until COVID-19) perhaps twice every three weeks. We have become amazingly aware just how fast young children grow. She is so different every week or two, something we never noticed when our daughter was young. It is a real treat to see our granddaughter say new words or express new ideas that were completely off the radar a few weeks before. I used to smoke and gave it up 35 years ago so I could make sure I was here to see my daughter grow up. But the privilege of seeing my granddaughter is an even better reason, and something I could never have imagined as being so rewarding. A few weeks ago, she was visiting and wanted to come to the basement with me to try and find something. I told her she could only go if she held my hand on the stairs. It was as good a feeling as I have ever had. — Loving Grandpa Dear Grandpa: I love your letter because you seem to appreciate all the joys of children and being a grandparent. The image of your granddaughter grabbing for your hand and walking down the stairs, and your appreciation for it, is very touching. It is finding those little moments of joy that make for a great big lifetime of happiness.
