Yolo County remains in red tier BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer

terms of making sure that students are getting the information they need when they need it,” said Darla Cooper, RP Group’s executive director. “The extra piece of that now in the COVID environment is, are you doing that virtually?” So far, the pandemic doesn’t seem to have dampened transfer rates: More than 62,000 new transfer students entered California State University this fall, up 4,000 from last year. Nationwide, the number of students transferring from a community college to a four-year college or university grew by about 3%, according to the National Student Clearinghouse. But the coronavirus and the shift to online learning have made it more challenging for

Yolo County was allowed to remain in the red tier on Tuesday even as other counties, including Sacramento, moved back to purple on the state’s blueprint for reopening the economy. That means restaurants, gyms, places of worship and other businesses will be able to continue indoor operations locally for at least the next two weeks. The state’s calculations put the average daily new COVID-19 case rate for Yolo County for the week ending Oct. 31 at 6.7 cases per 100,000 residents, under the threshold of 7 required to remain in the red tier. The county’s online COVID-19 dashboard had reported a higher number of cases during that week, but those numbers are sometimes changed after the fact, including when a case is incorrectly attributed to Yolo County. But while the county avoided a return to purple this week and the subsequent impact on local businesses, the threat remains, with positive cases trending upward. “While we are not moving into the purple tier this week, we are seeing an uptick in the number of cases reported each day,” said the county’s health officer, Dr. Aimee Sisson. “Staying in red does not mean we can let down our guard,” she added. “To protect our community, residents need to continue to wear masks, keep their distance, wash their hands and only gather outdoors in small groups with distancing and masks.”

Transfer student Kaylin Tran isn’t spending as much time on campus at UCLA as she thought. CALMATTERS PHOTO

Campus dreams deferred Ready for ‘real’ college experience, transfer students see hopes dashed BY OMAR RASHAD CalMatters Kaylin Tran imagined her first year at UCLA after transferring from Pasadena City College as kind of like a coming of age movie: She’d join clubs, make lifelong friends and pore over books in the university’s iconic library. Instead, thanks to the pandemic, she’s sitting in front of a computer screen in her family’s San Gabriel home, paying $14,000 a year for tuition instead of $1,600. “It definitely gives you a disconnect from the actual college experience, because it’s basically like, you’ve been at home for the

past two years at community college,” Tran said. “Nothing feels any different.” The limitations of online education are frustrating for many California college students, but they’re especially so for the tens of thousands who transferred from community colleges to four-year universities this year. With key social elements of a university experience missing since most classes have moved online, new transfer students fear they won’t be able to make meaningful in-person connections with peers and professors — part of the reason they wanted to transfer in the first place. State lawmakers have pushed

colleges and universities to make it easier for students to transfer in from community colleges. It’s a way to open up educational opportunities for more Californians at a time when both the University of California and California State University turn away thousands of qualified freshmen applicants each year. But barriers remain. Students are often prevented from transferring because they lack information about financial aid and navigating coursework and degree requirements, according to a survey of 800 community college students released in May by RP Group, a nonprofit research organization that studies California’s community colleges. “If we could imagine a world where COVID never happened, (colleges) still had work to do in

UCD alum Alex Lee elected to Assembly Youngest member in chamber since 1938 BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer UC Davis alumnus Alex Lee was elected last week to the California Assembly, where he will represent Assembly District 25, which encompasses San Jose, Santa Clara and Fremont. Lee’s election brings with it a slew of firsts. He will be the first state legislator to represent Generation Z, the first openly bisexual lawmaker in California, the youngest state legislator since 1938, and the youngest Asian American legislator in state history. Lee’s parents, who are now divorced, immigrated to the United States from Hong Kong. He graduated from Milpitas High School in 2013. The 25-year-old Democrat lives in San Jose with

his mother, a registered nurse, and sleeps in his childhood bedroom. Until recently, he was working part-time for an app-based delivery service. According to news reports, he plans to continue living in San Jose and commute by train to Sacramento. “All of this combined will make me an effective advocate,” Lee told The Los Angeles Times last week. “This isn’t abstract for me. I don’t have to try to understand what it’s like for people who struggle to pay their bills or with housing insecurity, that’s something I live with.” Though just in his midtwenties, Lee will arrive in the State Assembly having already held elected office. From 2016 to 2017, he served as the student body president at UC Davis. He graduated in 2017 with degrees in communications and political science. Since then, Lee has worked as a

Elections staffer tests positive for COVID-19 BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer

Newly elected Alex Lee, 25, will be the youngest member of the California Assembly since before World War II.

WEATHER Th Thursday: Late showers. La

A staff member in the Yolo County Elections Office tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday. The individual had minimal interaction with poll workers but did work with other elections staff and some election observers, the county announced in a press release on Tuesday. “There was limited exposure to voter assistance centers or Yolo County residents and voters,” the release said. “The county’s contact tracing team will be working to ensure that those that were in close contact are notified.” The office has been adhering to social distancing guidelines and disinfecting protocols, the county said, and all staff and visitors have been required to wear face coverings.

Since learning of the positive case, however, the elections office has taken additional steps, including: ■ Temporarily limiting staff within the office to critical infrastructure to continue the elections canvass. ■ Scheduling deep cleaning for impacted facilities. ■ Communicating consistently with Yolo County Public Health. ■ Launching contact tracing investigations. ■ Sending home all staff who are deemed to have been in close contact with the exposed staff member to selfquarantine and providing testing information. ■ Authorizing staff who are deemed noncritical infrastructure to telework for the time being.

Here’s a good way to honor veterans

RMISTICE DAY ... as we honor our veterans today for their great service to our country, wouldn’t it be nice if our beloved president would take a bow, claim he has saved the country from every malady known to man, and then go slowly into the night? What better way to honor those who have served than to respect the will of the voters in all 50 states?

World War II from ever happening.

YES, IT’S ACTUALLY CALLED VETERANS DAY ... originally, though, this was Armistice Day, representing the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 111th month of 1918 when the Great War finally came to end. Or course, it was not called World War I at the time, because everyone hoped that this War to End All Wars would prevent

ONE CRAZY CONSPIRACY ... Long after the polls had closed and many votes had been counted, White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere said, “President Trump defied all expectations in Congressional and Senate races, bringing great victories.” Indeed, Republican gains were especially impressive in the House of Representatives.

Now, however, despite those gains, Republicans are claiming the election was rigged, apparently not realizing that those winning Republican House candidates were listed on the exact same ballot as President Trump. So, if some corrupt poll worker was tossing all the Trump votes in the wastebasket, all those Republican votes for other offices were going down the drain too. But that didn’t happen.

EORGIA ON MY MIND ... obviously, a President Biden would be well served if his party had control of both the House and the Senate. And yet, in the state of Georgia, where despite having a Republican governor and a Republican Secretary of State, corrupt Democrats somehow run the elections, according to the president.

So obviously, if the fix were to work properly, those corrupt poll workers would make sure that not only would Biden win, but the two Democratic Senate candidates would be ushered into office as well. Oddly, though, the leading votegetter of all candidates in both Senate races was Republican incumbent David Perdue, who actually got even more votes in Georgia than the president It’s simply hard to believe that Democrats would steal the presidency, but not grab those two Senate seats while they were at it. I guess the Democrats are not as clever at stealing elections as we thought they were. Or maybe, just maybe, the election wasn’t rigged after all. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net

Enterprise staff writer A vehicle crash in Winters claimed the life of a 21-year-old man Monday night, the Winters Police Department reported. Leopoldo Guzman of Winters was the driver of a Toyota Corolla that left the roadway and struck at least two trees on County Road 89 north of Niemann Street shortly after 10 p.m., police said in a social

media post. There were no passengers in the car. “The cause of the collision is still under investigation and evidence at the scene indicates alcohol may have been involved,” the post said.

CAMPUS: Transfer students feel detached from school From Page A1 schools to support students once they’ve transferred. Some transfer students say the pandemic has heightened their imposter syndrome — the sense that despite getting accepted to a prestigious university, they don’t truly belong. “There’s no physical transition from one step to the next for me to signify that, OK, I’m at UCLA now,” Tran said. “In some ways, I just feel like maybe I’m not supposed to be here. You know, maybe there is some flaw in the system that just magically let me in.” That sense of disconnect could impact transfer students’ success in college: Some studies have found a correlation between a student’s sense of belonging and whether they returned to college the next year. The increased price tag made the transition harder for Tran. Though she understands that professors still need to be paid during the pandemic, she said it’s frustrating to see a jump in her tuition without getting access to the library or research center that she’s paying for. “It’s like we’re paying for the concept, but the actual product isn’t really being delivered,” she said. In theory, transfer students who weren’t thrilled about their options could have deferred enrollment. Most California universities allow students to put a pause on their education, though they have to prove why they need the break and applications are reviewed on a case by case basis. But the rules differ from campus to campus. For example, UCLA does not offer gap years but allows students to defer enrollment if the pandemic seriously impacts their ability to stay in school. At UC Santa Cruz, students were unable to defer for the fall but the option was available for winter quarter. And at UC Berkeley, new students can apply to defer but the university granted only a handful of requests for fall, and all were for freshmen. Julia Kolman also had conflicted feelings about starting UC Berkeley online this fall after transferring from De Anza College, a community college in Cupertino. “Not only am I a transfer, but I’m also now an online student among people who have been at the campus for multiple years,” Kolman said. “Like, is my college education the same as theirs?” Setting up group chats with classmates helped Kolman feel more connected to the college community, she said, as did buying a UC Berkeley jacket. Kolman also intends on visiting the Berkeley campus a few times this semester. “I just plan to drive up there because I like the area,” Kolman said. “I want to walk around the

Julia Kolman visited UC Berkeley in April to give herself a tour of the campus she planned to transfer to in the fall. But the pandemic interrupted her plans. campus again and look at the buildings where my classes would have been and take in the campus and just feel like it’s mine.” Even before the coronavirus hit, transitioning from a community college to a four-year university was not easy, which is why most California public universities have centers dedicated to providing support to transfer students. Andrew Henry, an academic counselor at UC Berkeley’s Transfer Student Center, advises transfer students to put themselves out there by getting involved with events, clubs and research opportunities. He said that even in a virtual world, that tip still applies. “We do understand that it’s more difficult to attend events and feel that camaraderie and community building. But in some ways, it’s easier, right, as in you have access,” Henry said. “You can literally join an event from the comfort of your living room. And we try to make it as interactive as possible, whether that’s through zoom breakout rooms, games, activities, things like that.” Transfer students at UC Berkeley can also enroll in a one-unit transfer transitions course, where they can connect with other students in similar circumstances. “It’s another place where they can feel like they belong,” Henry said. However, UC and CSU students who have attended transfer center programs said they can only help so much during a time in which the college experience has transformed. Andrea Trinidad, a third-year student at Cal State Long Beach, has known she wanted to be a physical therapist since she shadowed one at a nursing home during her senior year of high school. She was fascinated by the way the therapist interacted with patients and encouraged them on their paths to regaining motor skills, like learning how to walk again or move their hands.

When Trinidad, a kinesiology major, applied to transfer from Pierce College to Cal State Long Beach this fall, she was looking forward to finally getting hands-on experience in upper division courses. When the pandemic hit and courses moved online, she was among the students who considered taking a gap year, but wasn’t sure how or even if the university would permit her. Urged by her parents to continue her education, Trinidad signed up for fall classes at Cal State Long Beach, but said the experience has been disappointing. Even her labs are online, she said, and she frequently hears her professors rave about how much more fun and exciting activities would be inperson. “It’s definitely been hard and I’m still kind of trying to accept the fact that it’s going to be online the rest of the semester, and I guess now it’s also going to be online for next semester,” Trinidad said. “So it definitely sucks because I was really looking forward to it.” Aubury Freed, a new transfer student at UC Santa Cruz from Ohlone College in Fremont, also briefly thought about taking a gap year. But when her friends decided to go ahead with school, she did, too. Though her classes are online, she plans to move out of her family’s home in Hayward to an off-campus apartment in Santa Cruz along with fellow transfer students. “Just the change of setting, I feel like, will kind of inspire me to become more focused and take care of what I need to take care of academically,” Freed said. Finding housing has been challenging, and Freed’s confidence was shaken when wildfires burned through the mountains in August and September, forcing the campus to evacuate. Still, starting a new chapter feels important for her mental health, she said.

LEE: Candidate earned Sanders’ nod From Page A1 legislative aide to state Sen. Henry Stern, D-Ventura. According to his website, Lee’s campaign rejected “all corporate, fossil fuel, developer and cop money.” He was outspent 15-to-1 in a crowded primary race and raised $32,000 for the general election. On Nov. 3, Lee won 73% of the vote, defeating Republican Bob Brunton. Lee’s bid for California Assembly was endorsed by Bernie Sanders and Lee has said his politics align with those of the senator from Vermont. On his first day in office, Lee plans to introduce a bill to curb the influence of corporate money in politics.

“One of my first bills will be to eliminate or limit special interest and corporate money in state elections,” Lee said. “It’s polluting our democracy.” Lee’s win will add another member to the Asian Pacific Islander Legislative Caucus and the California Legislative LGTBQ Caucus. When he is sworn in on Dec. 7, Lee’s fellow lawmakers in the California legislature will be, on average, roughly twice his age. Lee isn’t worried. “There will always be detractors,” he told The Los Angeles Times. “I will prove them wrong.” — Reach Caleb Hampton at champton@davisenterprise.net. Follow him on Twitter at @calebmhampton.

The county dashboard lists 160 cases during the week ending Nov. 7, which will determine the metrics used in next week’s tier update. At an average of nearly 23 cases per day, that would put the county’s daily new case rate well above the threshold of 7 per 100,000 residents for the purple tier. But by returning to red tier metrics this week, the county will remain in red for at least the next two weeks. Any move to the purple tier would follow two consecutive weeks of meeting purple tier metrics. At this point, the soonest the county would move to purple would be Thanksgiving week. Unlike Yolo, multiple counties took a step backwards this week, including Sacramento, Stanislaus and San Diego moving back into the purple tier and Placer, El Dorado, Contra Costa and Santa Cruz moving from orange

back to red. Speaking Tuesday, Dr. Mark Ghaly, the state’s secretary of health and human services, noted that no counties progressed forward through the tier system this week and more counties are expected to move backward next week. Private household gatherings as well as Halloween activities have reportedly contributed to the rise in cases throughout the state since the beginning of the month, and with Thanksgiving and other holidays approaching, state and county officials continue to urge residents to do their part. “Social gatherings are still a leading cause of COVID-19 cases in Yolo County and everyone has a role to play in keeping businesses open and communities healthy,” Yolo County public information officer Jenny Tan said Monday. The county, she said, “is aware that residents and families may choose to

gather despite local and state health orders mandating physical distance. “The county hopes that if residents gather, that they do so as safely as possible without jeopardizing the health of their loved ones, friends, and communities.” Tan added that the “best way to protect your health is to not gather at all with anyone outside your household. However, if you are going to gather, please follow the guidance for gatherings.” That state and county guidance requires that all private gatherings have no more than 16 people from no more than three separate households; be held outdoors and last for no more than two hours. Since Nov. 1, Yolo County has reported 224 new cases of COVID-19, an average of nearly 25 cases per day. In just the last few days, the county reported 34 cases on Monday, 31 on Sunday, 41 on Saturday and 29 on Friday.

OBITUARY Sarah Elizabeth True April 11, 1927 — Sept. 8, 2020

Sarah Elizabeth Goodwin True, known as Betsy to friends and family, was born April 11, 1927, in Indianapolis, Ind., to John K. Goodwin and Caroline McMath Goodwin. A proud Hoosier, she attended P.S. No. 60, Tudor Hall and graduated from Shortridge High School in Indianapolis, 1945. She received her bachelor’s degree in zoology from Wellesley College in 1949, and attended graduate school in psychology at Indiana University, Bloomington, from 1950 to 1954. It was there that she met William “Bill” Wadsworth True from Hope, Maine, and they were married on June 12, 1954. After Bill completed his Ph.D. in physics from Indiana, they lived in Princeton, N.J., for a few years before moving to Davis in 1960, when Bill received a faculty position with the UC Davis physics department. They settled on Elmwood Drive and raised their four children. Betsy’s activities included the P.T.A., 4-H, Davis school advisory committees, Embroiderer’s Guild of America, Friends of the Davis Public Library and U.C. Davis Arboretum, quilting, and she especially enjoyed exploring genealogy. Betsy was one of the original members of the Davis Genealogy Club and spent many days volunteering at the Genealogy Library. She and her husband researched old family letters, gravesites, and genealogical databases to compile a detailed history of descendants of the many different branches of the family; their addendums and previous volumes of family history were printed and distributed to numerous relatives. After her husband Bill passed away in October 2001, Betsy kept busy quilting, reading, and babysitting her young grandchildren as well as continuing her volunteer activities. She liked to walk every day whether it was to downtown Davis, to Fluffy Donuts to meet with friends, or, in later years, simply around the block to talk

with treasured neighbors on Elmwood Drive. An early adopter of computer technology, she loved to surf the Internet and maintained a lively correspondence with friends and family all over the country. Not only was Betsy an encyclopedia of family history but she kept herself informed by being a voracious reader of books and newspapers, and kept abreast of local city council and school board meetings and political events. Betsy also admired nature and animals and was an avid bird watcher; she knew the names of all the native birds, flowers, and trees in the area. In her last few years, she especially looked forward to frequent visits from her many local family members and enjoyed going out for dinner where she never passed up dessert, having a special weakness for chocolate chip cookies. Betsy was living a vital, independent, and active life when she became sick with a brief illness and passed away in her home in Davis on Sept. 8, 2020. She left behind a wealth of quilts, genealogical research and a family who loved her, which includes her children: William “Bill” G. True (Sacramento), Kenneth W. True (Davis), Anne E. True (Huntsville, Texas), Katherine “Katie” M. True (Davis); siblings John K. Goodwin, Jr. (Ligonier, PA), Mary G. Scott (Davis); and grandchildren Lauren, Nathan, Vincent, Allison, Marshall, Alexander, Elliot, Payson and Rebecca. A Zoom memorial will be held November 14th at 2 pm. https://zoom.us/j/94170883905 In lieu of flowers we ask that check donations be made in her honor to The Davis Genealogy Club and mailed to: DGC Treasurer Wendy Cohen, 2320 Goldberry Lane, Davis CA 95616; or an online donation to the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden at https://give.ucdavis.edu/AARB/ RDSDONR-RMEMO

Here’s why you should never feed the wildlife BY JOHN MCNERNEY Special to The Enterprise

eeding wildlife may not seem like a big deal, but it is the primary cause of conflict between humans and wildlife. Feeding them will alter their normal behavioral patterns, may make them sick, and, potentially worst of all, can make them less fearful of humans, which is dangerous for all of us. Here are some things to keep in mind: “People” food isn’t good for animals. Human foods aren’t nutritious for animals. Animals have not evolved to eat bread, popcorn or French fries, etc. They need their natural diet in order to remain healthy. Eating human food may cause serious health problems. Feeding wild animals makes them lose their natural fear of people. Feeding can make wild animals become too comfortable around humans. While they may look cute and cuddly, they are still wild animals with sharp claws and teeth. Unintended consequences of wild animals feeling comfortable approaching people, such as squirrels climbing up your leg, skunks sneaking into your garage or raccoons coming through your pet door are not on anyone’s wish list. The animals you feed today will likely become “pests” tomorrow when they lose their natural fear of humans and approach other people boldly to look for food. While having more wildlife around your home might sound like a good thing, it often leads to human vs. wildlife conflict and the need for corrective management (for the safety of animals and humans). Once animals learn that humans are a source of food, they can become a nuisance, or even worse, a safety risk. Predatory wildlife who feel comfortable in suburban or urban settings may also prey on small pets. Wild animals who depend on people for food can cause injuries or spread disease. When wild animals gather for food handouts, it can cause crowding, territorial fighting, attacks by predators and injuries or death caused by human interactions. It can also increase the spread of diseases, some of which may be transmitted to pets and humans. Feeding wild animals causes an unnaturally vigorous population growth. Many wild animals that are found in urban areas tend to have a population growth that is largely tied to their access to food, water and shelter. When they have an abundance of these elements, their population can expand rapidly.

ENVIRONMENTAL UPDATE Unfortunately, the reverse is true as well. If the food is removed (when people stop feeding the animals, move away, or when the feeder runs out) the animals will begin to starve and the population crashes. This cycle can be avoided if we allow these wild animals to rely solely on what nature provides. It’s hard to resist feeding wildlife, but please don’t do it, for their health and safety. In addition to intentionally feeding wildlife, there are ways to unintentionally feed wildlife, which can cause the same issues as intentional feeding. Here are some things you can to do to reduce that: If you maintain a bird feeder, keep the area below the feeder free of fallen seed. If squirrels, rats or turkeys begin feeding at a bird feeder, temporarily remove the feeder until they stop visiting. Repeat if they return. Ensure that trash, recycling and compost containers are closed and secured. Feed pets indoors. If you must feed them outside, immediately remove any uneaten portions. Keep small pets indoors at night to protect them from night-time predators. Clean up fallen fruit and nuts. If they are not usable, place them in your brownlidded organics cart for composting. Consider planting native plants to provide a natural food source for local wild animals while conserving water in your landscape.

It’s turkey time If you’ve seen large flocks of turkeys lately, it’s not because the wild turkey population has grown excessively. It’s just that time of the year when local wild turkeys form large foraging groups (instead of roaming around alone or in smaller groups) and meander around larger sections of town. It can be quite a sight to see a large flock of 40 turkeys in your neighborhood! Turkeys can be fun to watch and they help to keep pests like slugs and snails out of the garden, but they can also behave aggressively, tear up landscaping in search of food, leave a mess on sidewalks and pose a traffic hazard when crossing busy streets. To coexist peacefully with our large, feathered neighbors, please do not intentionally feed the turkeys. To learn more about reducing conflict with wild turkeys, visit Greener Davis.org.

Reminders Thanksgiving is on the horizon and although gatherings may be smaller this year, kitchens will still be full of the smells of cooking holiday meals and tasty treats. But did you know sink drains, even sinks with a garbage disposal, are not built to handle waste, especially organic waste? Help avoid expensive and messy backups by ensuring that waste goes in waste bins. Only water should go down sink drains. Fats, oils, and grease (FOG) might seem like liquids when you’re done cooking with them, but when flushed down toilets or poured down drains, some will solidify. This can build up over time and block the plumbing, leading to sewer backups in homes, onto streets and into local waterways. Clogged sewer lines can lead to expensive plumbing maintenance for you and the city. Pouring hot water or soap down the drain will not help, since it can only break up the grease temporarily. Small amounts of cool and hardened fats, oils and grease can go in your organics cart. While it is not a hazardous waste item, you can bring liquid FOG and recycle it for free at the hazardous waste drop-off at the Yolo County Landfill, from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. every Friday and Saturday. Large amounts of solid FOG can be placed in a container and disposed of in the trash. For details, visit DavisRecycling.org. Landscapes do not need as much water in the fall with shorter days and cooler temperatures. As the weather cools, reduce irrigation by eliminating a watering day or two each week or by shortening each watering cycle. Consider turning off your irrigation system for the winter if you have winter-dormant plants. Water with the weather — turn your irrigation system off when it rains, and keep it off for 48 hours after a rain event. Reducing the amount of water you use in the winter may reduce your water and sanitary sewer bill. Sanitary sewer rates are adjusted on an annual basis, based upon your average winter water use from November to February. By minimizing your winter water consumption for irrigation, you can reduce the amount of water actually going to the sewer and reduce your water and sewer bills.

■ DHS journalists will present The Hub every Wednesday in The Enterprise

Reduced student population poses challenges BY RENEE XIANG HUB staff UC Davis is host to 30,000-plus undergraduate students, who make up approximately 44 percent of the town’s total population during an average year. Currently, all classes are being held online, with the exception of some upper division labs which require students to be in-person. With students no longer required to live in Davis, the city is feeling the effect. Colleges make up such a integral part of their local communities that it’s difficult to track every direct and indirect stream of revenue they create within the economy. As UCD leaders came to the decision to continue with remote learning for the fall semester, Davis residents braced for a further economic downturn. For several local businesses, this meant introducing belttightening measures: reducing staff, downsizing and cutting back on any unnecessary expenditures. Heidi Kellison — who launched her Downtownnorcal website in 2019 with the goal of connecting with and showcasing locally owned businesses in the Northern California region — has spoken with several small business owners in Davis over the course of the pandemic, all of whom

have had to deal with the challenges presented by the reduced student population. Kellison compared the efforts of local small business owners to the Olympics that were supposed to take place in Tokyo last summer. “I feel like I had a front row seat to every event because of the conversations I’ve been having with these business owners. They’ve been running marathons and doing backflips all year long,” Kellison said. “There is not one business in Davis that has said they’re better off without students.” UCD has also been tracking the fiscal impact of COVID-19 on its own funding, both through lost revenue and outbreakrelated expenses. According to the finance and business department website, under the COVID-19 Emergency Declaration, the university is required to “provide monthly reports on financial impacts to the University of California Office of the President for reporting to the California State Department of Finance.” In a recent financial tracking report covering March 16 through Sept. 30, UCD’s budget and institutional analysis team detailed a total impact of $187,145,405 in COVID-related losses and expenditures. The 2020 annual budget presentation from UCD student affairs revealed that in

order to cover losses in revenue, units within the division are being forced to “deplete their reserves and to consider significant reductions in operational expenses, staffing and programs and services provided to students.” At the local-government level, city officials are compiling data detailing how heavily Davis’ economy has been hit. According to Mayor Gloria Partida, tax revenue has declined. One of the most notable examples is the transient occupancy tax on rent paid by guests of hotels. The tax came in $1,045,092 under the adjusted budget and $382,957 under the year-end projection, as stated by the most recent city budget update for the 2019-20 fiscal year. In spite of these numbers, the mayor remains optimistic about the upcoming fiscal year. Sales-tax revenue, which was expected to take the brunt of the impact, came in well above the year-end projections, performing substantially better than staff and the city’s consultant had initially expected. “We’re optimistic because when we got the first report back, the numbers were not as depressed as we had anticipated, and we’re hoping that that trend continues,” Partida said.

Children’s therapy ranch in need of financial support BY MIA CROFF HUB staff Located down County Road 102 between Davis and Woodland, the Therapeutic Riding and Off Track Rehabilitation ranch lies relatively dormant, with activity only a fraction of what it was prior to COVID-19. TROTR is a non profit that provides adaptive horseback riding experiences to physically, mentally and behaviorally challenged community members. Riding programs are also offered for anyone who wants to hone their equine skills. As well as offering riding related programs, TROTR also rescues former racehorses in order to rehabilitate them into docile saddle-trained horses. They also participate in school and community outreach programs to promote farm animal

welfare and encourage compassion for animals. Since reopening in June, TROTR has been unable to bounce back due to the fact that they serve a primarily at-risk population. “A lot of therapy kids were not coming out anymore, because most of them had some underlying health problems ... their parents understandably didn’t want to bring them out into the public at all,” Walton said. TROTR charges a fee for sessions and most parents donate extra money to the organization out of gratitude for their services. However, since the reopening, therapy sessions are not bringing in the revenue that they once were because very few children have returned for sessions. TROTR raised somefunds through pony rides and a petting zoo at Bobby Dazzler’s Pumpkin Patch. “We can use some

money. Like, more than some money,” said volunteer cooridnator Kathleen Walton. Volunteers are the lifeblood of TROTR. They have a variety of responsibilities including cleaning stalls, grooming and bathing animals, helping with lessons or sessions and assisting with clerical jobs for the organization. UC Davis student Alyse Lodigiani originally began volunteering this summer. As of now, Lodigiani has completed over 60 hours on the ranch and has assisted at Bobby Dazzler events. “Everyone’s there just to have a good time. We all just love the horses. It’s a great place to just like, clear your mind, and just do something fun,” Lodigiani said. However, a large, dedicated group of volunteers is not enough to keep TROTR running. The organization is in need of

financial support. Walton is also in the process of applying for a grant to keep the organization afloat. “All those kiddos can’t get real horse therapy for the affordable price that TROTR offers anywhere else,” Lodigiani said. “Since (it’s) ... a nonprofit, they just have to charge enough to keep the place running (which) ... makes it more accessible to more families.” TROTR is seeking donations through its Facebook page or recurring donations through its website. TROTR also has sponsorship programs for horses and therapy riders. Sponsors pay a monthly fee that either covers the cost of a lesson or a substantial amount of the monthly cost to house a horse. “Anybody who wants to help TROTR, we’d love to have them,” Walton said.

Following the lead of professional athletes nationwide, Davis athletes and coaches are speaking out against racial injustice in the wake of police brutality. Between kneeling for the National Anthem, attending Black Lives Matter protests and voicing their concerns during news conferences, professional athletes have taken action to help educate, inform, and activate others. Members of the Davis sports community are following in their footsteps. Ryan Qualls, former basketball player and member of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee at UC Davis, offers his support for the professional athletes. “Everyone has the responsibility to use their voice when they see something wrong,” Qualls said. UCD has taken cues from the National Basketball Association as they have considered adopting slogans like “Vote”, “Black Lives Matter”, “Power to the people” and “Justice Now” on the backs of their jerseys. Dwight Smith, a colleague of Qualls’, says that once athletes leave the field, they are just people. They encounter a lot of the same negative things that the rest of the community faces, and being athletes, they have a platform to try to change the things they see. “This idea of ‘more than an athlete’ couldn’t be more true,” Smith said. Davis High paraeducator and football coach Tyjorzi Brown is very unsettled by how he has seen people of color treated in Davis. “My son was in preschool when someone first chose to identify him as the N-word,” Brown said. Such experiences have made Brown an advocate for people of color in Davis and he feels that football is one of the ways that people can be brought together. “You have to depend on people that don’t look like you in football,” Brown said, “At the end of the day, when we lace up the cleats and step on the grass we represent Davis High.” UCD Athletic Director Kevin Blue believes that professional athletes can make a big impact on what others think. “I believe that athletes expressing themselves will inspire athletes at all levels to express themselves,” Blue said. Local members of soccer club FC Davis have been advocating for racial and gender equality in their community. “FC Davis was created as soccer for social good,” said Adam Lewin, owner and general manager of the club. Lewin is disappointed by the fact that this movement has become politicized. “Being treated the same way as the person next to you is not political,” Lewin said.

COMMENTARY

State GOP makes a bit of headway

Initiatives T should belong to citizens

he longer the vote counting goes on, the more it seems the big bounceback California Republicans expected this fall from the party’s significant congressional defeats of 2018 may be a halfway thing. Which would still be an achievement in the face of President-elect Joe Biden’s 4.4 million-vote victory in this state. In 2018, California’s voting for Congress was essentially a referendum on the presidency of Donald Trump, whose wishes virtually all 14 Republican representatives from this state slavishly followed during the first two years of his term. Eventually, Republicans lost half their California seats, some by razor-thin margins not finally determined until almost a month after the vote. The state party made a major effort this year to recoup those losses. The GOP crowed when it won back the 25th District seat stretching from Palmdale in the High Desert of Los Angeles County through Santa Clarita and into part of Ventura County. That came in a special election last spring after Democrat Katie Hill resigned in a sexting scandal. Republicans also recruited a roster of solid candidates for other races in the comeback effort. As the year began, Mike Levin was the

BY NATHAN GARDELS Special to CalMatters

s far back as 2009, then California Supreme Court Chief Justice Ron George asked, “Has the voter initiative now become the tool of the very type of special interests it was intended to control, and an impediment to the effective functioning of a true democratic process?” That question has been answered in spades by this most recent election as Uber, Lyft and other like businesses spent a record $200 million plus in a referendum, Proposition 22, to overturn legislation that would make their independent contractors into employees. The bail bond companies spent more than $11 million on Proposition 25 to overturn legislation that would have ended the social injustice of cash bail. In the case of Prop. 22, first it was the influence of the organized special interests of the labor unions in the Legislature that blocked any compromise with the ridehailing companies and their allies — compromises, it should be noted, that would have included progressive innovations such as portable benefits and sector-wide bargaining. Then it was the turn of the organized special interests of the deep-pocketed companies whose business model was at stake to bolster the coffers of the persuasion industry and, essentially, buy votes. For the chump change they spent on the election, the market valuation of Uber and Lyft was up $13 billion the next day. What role did California’s citizens who were supposed to be given a voice by this practice of direct democracy have in setting the agenda, placing these measures on the ballot and expressing their concerns? Answer: none. This is the central scandal in California politics besides which all else pales. Clearly it is time for a change that only seems radical in the context of how fundamentally the purpose of the citizen’s ballot initiative has been perverted: Give direct democracy back to the citizens.

only one of the 2018 Democratic seat-flippers whose reelection seemed certain. His 49th District covers northern San Diego County and southern Orange County. Levin in fact won solidly Nov. 3. So did Democrat Katie Porter in southern Orange County. But four other districts remain up for grabs, with the outcomes likely not to be known until late this month. One seat-flipper facing uncertainty is T.J. Cox, rematched with longtime former Republican Rep. David Valadao, whom he narrowly bested last time in their 21st District stretching from southern Fresno County to the northern edge of Bakersfield. This race will likely remain a nail-biter for weeks, as in 2018. Harley Rouda, who narrowly ousted longtime GOP Rep. Dana Rohrabacher from his coastal Orange County seat, drew county Supervisor Michelle Steel this year. The Asian-American wife of former state GOP chairman Shawn Steel outfundraised Rouda early on

and led by 4,700 votes several days after the vote, with the outcome still uncertain. The same for the reelection bid of Democrat Gil Cisneros, a onetime Mega Millions lottery winner rematched in the mostly Orange County 39th district with former Republican state Assemblywoman Young Kim. Like Steel, she has a strong following in the county’s large Asian immigrant populace. Cisneros won their 2018 race by about 2.5 percent, but was outdrawn in the primary last March. He counted on a large anti-Trump turnout this fall, but trailed Kim by 2,400 votes a few days after Election Night. Nail biting will continue here for weeks.

ne plus for Democrats was the relative ease of re-election for Josh Harder in the Modestocentered 10th District, where Republican veterinarian Ted Howze hoped to draw the area’s strong farm vote. Harder and two Democrats drew almost the exact same number of primary votes as three Republicans in the March primary. Harder, who ousted longtime Republican Rep. Jeff Denham two years ago, hoped a large turnout in the presidential election would help him and it did. There is no suspense here: Harder had a 30,000-vote lead on Election Night. Then there’s the see-sawing

25th District. Democratic state Assemblywoman Christy Smith led there after Election Night by less than 700 votes over Garcia, the springtime special election winner. Three days later, Garcia led by 420. This one also will take weeks to decide. It’s far from certain, but because most remaining votes are late absentee or provisional ballots that in recent years have mostly gone Democratic, the likelihood of Republicans ending up with more than three of the seats they lost two years ago now appears small. Extremely tight Election Night tallies like these favored Democrats in the past, but early indications are that this year might be different. What’s clear is that at least three of the 2018 seatflippers will be back in Congress when a new session begins. But some may not. Which means California Republicans’ hopes of a miracle comeback now look somewhat exaggerated, while Democrats also have little to crow about. — Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

LETTERS Blackouts

ince the U.S. Supreme Court has sanctioned money as free speech, the only feasible course forward at the moment is to create a citizens’ initiative review process so that a disinterested body indicative of the public as a whole can weigh in independently for the public interest when special interests are battling it out on the ballot. This idea has been piloted in other states, notably Oregon. There, a random sampling of citizens fitting the profile of the state in terms of race, gender, region and so on, is chosen to review ballot measures. Like a jury, they hear from experts on the impact of the measure and from pro and con partisans. They then compose a 750-word statement in plain language honestly and objectively listing the pros and cons and their implication for the voter. This appears in the voter pamphlet mailed out to voters. Since California politics is far more dominated by initiatives than any other state, this process should go a step further here. To be effective, this body should be sponsored and housed within the office of the California Secretary of State, which runs elections. The citizen review panel’s summary should then appear on the ballot itself as a kind of Good Housekeeping seal the public knows they can trust amid the onslaught of biased public relations with which special interest money showers the airwaves and social media sites. In 2008, Californians gave the direct power to draw electoral districts to the citizens by creating the California Citizens’ Redistricting Commission that ended gerrymandering instead of letting partisan legislators draw districts. Why not do the same with the initiative process which is, after all, supposed to be the people’s tool? If direct democracy can be bought by those with the deepest pockets, then it is not democracy at all. — Nathan Gardels is executive adviser to Think Long Committee for California and co-founder of the Berggruen Institute, ngardels@gmail.com.

Dan Walters’ Oct. 18 article about the August blackouts is interesting, but it is a bit misleading to say that the State is shutting down powerplants — this is not an action the state commonly makes. Rather, recent powerplants shutdowns have occurred due to market decisions by the plant owners — they don’t see the profit in continuing to operate. Twenty years ago, the utilities owned nearly all the power plants and carefully planned their retirement with reliability and their rate-paying customers in mind. Today, most power plants are merchant plants and there is almost no coordination, state level or otherwise, about their retirement — this is what truly threatens reliability. The postponement of planned shutdowns by the Water Resources Control Board may have been partially in response to the August blackouts, but from the very beginning the regulation envisioned that deadlines to comply may need to be extended for reliability reasons, and this extension option has been allowed historically. The 2010 regulation does not mandate shutdowns of these plants — it just requires them to no longer use ocean water for cooling, allowing the option of repowering to use to other cooling systems. Shutting down may be the most economic option but that is a market decision not a state decision, and historically three of the 19 covered plants repowered. The California Energy Commission produces an annual report on the state of California’s natural gas power sources (see link at: https:// www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energyalmanac/californias-natural-gas-market/ thermal-efficiency-natural-gas-fired) and this June’s version shows that while overall the natural gas fleet has decreased in recent years by about 5000 MW in capacity this is the net result of retirement of 15000 MW of aging power plants and the construction of 10000 MW of new, more efficient and more flexible power plants. Aging power plant replacement is normal, but today we face a lack of clear authority giving grid planners the ability to coordinate plant retirement. Finally, when Diablo Canyon closes, because its owner didn’t want to go through the expense of Federal relicensing, California will still get power from the nuclear Palo Verde plant in Arizona — owned partially by Southern California utilities.

North wind, wildfires and climate change The north wind blowing hard in late summer and fall is, I believe, by far our biggest climate change here in Northern California. Born and raised here, I can’t remember the north wind ever blowing much between June and December, when everything is tinder dry. It has always blown between January and June and then stopped. I played tennis throughout the ’60s and ’70s and tennis players are finely tuned in to wind. Climate scientists’ computer models predicted this wind phenomenon years ago. The crunched data indicated that the West Coast will have more high-pressure fronts — and that is exactly what the north wind is — a high-pressure front. It was the north wind that took the town of Paradise (and my brother Scott Lotter’s, plus his daughter’s house there) by fire, and it has been the north wind that has blown all of the recent bad fires up, including the recent complex around Vacaville and Lake Berryessa. I haven’t seen anything in the press that talks about this putative change in wind patterns. Articles about the recent fires and climate change focus on temperature and dryness as if the north wind has always been here during the late summer and fall dry period. I really don’t think it has. If I had time I would try and find the wind velocity and direction records for this region pre-1970. Maybe someone can do that. Don Lotter Davis

Weitzel fan I am writing to compliment your local business reporter, Wendy Weitzel, for her consistently well-written and informative columns. I’ve been a Davis native since the days of the Ben Franklin store, so today’s local business environment is much more widespread and constantly changing. The “Comings and Goings” column is a “must-read” each Sunday in our house, and it’s been even more important in these months of shelter-in-place when we are able to keep up with openings/ closings and safety features of Davis businesses. So thanks to Wendy Weitzel for her column and to The Enterprise for running it each week. Michael Williams Davis

The flag belongs to all of us I have watched with dismay as the MAGA movement co-opted the U.S. flag. How has this happened? It is time everyone living under the “protection” of the flag reclaims its symbolism and flies it proudly on a regular basis. It can remind us that freedom and justice were promised for all. The flag can be reclaimed and remind us of our obligation, every day, and to live out those principles as best we can and to ensure that the flag flies for everyone. Kim Reinking Davis

Marriage means more than just being there for your wife Dear Annie: I have been married to a caring, sweet, very cool woman for the last 13 years. We have four children. Like all marriages, we’ve had our ups and downs, but I thought we were solid. A few months ago, she started spending time with an old friend, “Jimmy,” who is a shady guy. One night after spending time with Jimmy, she came home, sat beside me on the couch, and calmly told me that she wanted to separate and that she had already set her Facebook status to single. She claimed that I was manipulating her. While I’ve seen how manipulative her family can be, I’ve never been manipulative toward her, at least not intentionally. I’ve always supported her emotionally, and I’ve never withheld money or anything like that. But when I told her that I didn’t think I was being manipulative, she said

she really had just fallen out of love. She talked about how I wasn’t affectionate with her; I didn’t hold her hand. Well, I have been sleeping on the couch a lot of nights the last few years, only due to my not wanting to roll on our 3-year-old, who slept in our bed almost every night. We have not been intimate the last few years except when she was tipsy and wanted to. I was not into it but went along with it. But if it was more affection and handholding that she’d wanted, I wish she had just told me. I guess I overlooked the little things. I think about our four children and what our splitting up would mean for them. I worry about my wife’s stability and, consequently, our youngest daughter’s safety. I refuse to initiate the divorce on my end because we took a vow. Or should I just give up? Do you think I could find someone who would like me for me and accept the kids? I am probably one of the easiest people to get along with, and I always try to do the right thing. — Heavyhearted Husband Dear Heavyhearted: I commend you for

taking your wedding vows to heart. But being a good partner isn’t just about staying in it; it’s about staying present for it. Of course, your intimacy has suffered when you’ve been spending nearly every night on the couch. But if this is really the first time that your wife is raising any of these issues with you, then you both owe it to your marriage to try to work through them. Ask her to attend couples counseling with you. And if she insists on divorce, don’t rush into your next relationship. Work on developing your self-esteem and communication skills first, so you’ll be bringing your best, healthiest self to the table. ——— Dear Annie: You recommend Al-Anon a lot in your column.

Thanksgiving meal kits are distributed last year at a West Sacramento site. This year’s county-wide distribution is expected to serve 3,000 households at 10 locations.

Thanksgiving meal 530.747.8032 nhannell@davisenterprise.net enterprise.net kits to be distributed

Yolo’s food insecure to receive 3,000 kits at 10 locations Enterprise staff Yolo Food Bank’s “Sharing Yolo’s Bounty” Thanksgiving Holiday Food Distribution for Yolo County residents is planned from Nov. 18 to 21 at 10 locations. The pandemic has put Thanksgiving at risk in Yolo County. More than one in five Yolo County residents cannot afford Thanksgiving dinner. As a result, Yolo Food Bank is working with community partners to provide 3,000 holiday meal kits this season, a 50% increase over last year, so that all local families can access the food needed to prepare and share in the tradition of a holiday meal. Thanks to the dedication of lead sponsor Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, and the support of many individuals and businesses for the “Sharing Yolo’s Bounty” initiative (ongoing at www. yolofoodbank.org/sharingthe-bounty), the 3,000 meal kits will be available at 10 distribution locations countywide in the days prior to Thanksgiving. Each meal kit will include a turkey, an assortment of fresh, seasonal produce and other classic Thanksgiving “fixings” to offer sustenance and comfort at this season of generosity and gratitude. To be eligible for a meal kit, recipients must: ■ Be a resident of Yolo County ■ Where required, preregister for a meal kit in the

area of residence. Otherwise, meal kits are available while supplies last ■ Provide proof of address — this may include a driver license, state I.D. card, or a bill or other mail sent to a Yolo County address. The Davis distribution is planned for 8 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 21, at Pole Line Road Baptist Church, 770 Pole Line Road in Davis. Only Davis residents will be served. There will be a contactless, drive-through distribution with a walk-up option, first-come, firstserved. Face coverings are required. Recipients must be present to receive a meal kit; places in line cannot be held or reserved. Other distribution sites are in Clarksburg, Dunnigan, Esparto, Knights Landing, Madison, West Sacramento, Winters, Woodland and Yolo (also serving Zamora). To see a complete list of all the food distribution sites, hours and requirements, visit www.yolofoodbank.org. Note that some sites require pre-registration and some registration deadlines are due by Friday, Nov. 13. Together with a network of more than 200 nonprofit organizations and other partners, Yolo Food Bank serves the needs of 60,000 Yolo County residents with more than 900,000 pounds of food each month at nearly 130 food distributions countywide. Funds, food, and time are needed to sustain these efforts. To donate, volunteer or learn more, visit www.yolofood bank.org.

Research: Early hunters of the Americas were female BY KAREN NIKOS-ROSE Special to The Enterprise For centuries, historians and scientists mostly agreed that when early human groups sought food, men hunted and women gathered. However, a 9,000-year-old femalehunter burial in the Andes Mountains of South America reveals a different story, according to new research conducted at UC Davis. “An archaeological discovery and analysis of early burial practices overturns the long-held ‘man-thehunter’ hypothesis,” said Randy Haas, assistant professor of anthropology and the lead author of the study, “Female Hunters of the Early Americas.” It was published Nov. 4 in Science Advances. “Labor practices among recent hunter-gatherer societies are highly gendered, which might lead some to believe that sexist inequalities in things like pay or rank are somehow ‘natural.’ But it’s now clear that sexual division of labor was fundamentally different — likely more equitable — in our species’ deep hunter-gatherer past.” In 2018, during archaeological excavations at a

high-altitude site called Wilamaya Patjxa in what is now Peru, researchers found an early burial that contained a hunting toolkit with projectile points and animal-processing tools. The objects accompanying people in death tend to be those that accompanied them in life, researchers said. It was determined that the hunter was female based on dental protein analysis conducted by UC Davis postdoctoral researcher Tammy Buonasera and Glendon Parker, an adjunct associate professor. Looking at published records of late Pleistocene and early Holocene burials throughout North and South America, the researchers identified 429 individuals from 107 sites. Of those, 27 individuals were associated with biggame hunting tools — 11 were female and 15 were male. Statistical analysis shows that somewhere between 30 to 50 percent of hunters in these populations were female, the study said. This level of participation stands in stark contrast to recent hunter-gatherers, and even farming and capitalist societies, where hunting is a decidedly male activity.
