County still purple, with record cases

Picnic Day will be virtual again

BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer For the second year running, UC Davis’ annual Picnic Day event will be held virtually in 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, Picnic Day publicity director Alexis Tornero announced Monday in a press release. The event is scheduled for Saturday, April 17.

“Picnic Day takes almost a whole year to plan, and we want to make the safest decision for all participants and guests,” said Picnic Day Chair Caitlyn Liu. “Having more time to plan a virtual event allows the Picnic Day Board to innovate and think creatively when it comes to reimagining how people experience Picnic Day.” The announcement comes amid promising news about three different coronavirus vaccines, which are expected to take months to roll out, and amid rising case numbers and hospitalizations in Yolo County and across the United States.

The first Picnic Day was held in 1909. Before last year, it had been canceled five times. An outbreak of hoof-and-mouth disease caused the first cancellation

Schools plan construction

BY JEFF HUDSON Enterprise staff writer The Davis school district is embarking on multiple construction projects, funded by the 2018’s Measure M, a local school facilities bond that voters approved by a 74.5 percent margin. Here’s a rundown of the projects in the pipeline: ■ Early Learning Center on the Korematsu Elementary campus. This $7 milion project broke ground a couple of weeks ago, and project completion is expected in spring 2021.

VOL. 123 NO. 143

■ New Science Labs at the Emerson/Da Vinci Junior High campus. This $7.6 million project broke ground on Nov. 19, and completion is expected by spring 2021.

Many of the campaigns, which are featured on DoSomething’s website (www.dosomething.org/ us), encourage small acts of positivity that may seem minimal, but, with the group’s 5 million volunteers, creates a big impact.

Back in 2015, with the rise of hate crimes targeted at the Muslim community, DoSomething launched a campaign titled “Sincerely, Us.” Volunteers created cards of appreciation for the Muslim community, collectively resulting in enough for every mosque in

the U.S. to get 15 cards each.

Last year, DoSomething launched a club program for high schools, allowing high schoolers who are interested in civic action to earn community service hours and leadership opportunities.

Dua Hassan, a junior at DHS and the president of the Davis club, had volunteered with DoSomething and other organizations for a long time. The idea for the club came to mind after she

Yolo County remains deeply purple in the state’s color-tiered COVID-19 framework with virus cases here continuing to surge, including a record 108 new cases reported on Tuesday alone.

Numbers unveiled by the state Tuesday show the county’s adjusted daily new case rate was 20.9 for the week ending Nov. 18, up from 17.4 the week before and more than three times the rate of 6.7 two weeks ago. A daily new case rate of 7 per 100,000 residents is the threshold for entering the purple tier.

Meanwhile, the county’s test positivity rate also rose from 6.7 to 7.2 percent.

The county’s own data shows both the daily new case rate and the test positivity rate have only increased further since Nov. 18.

What’s happening in Yolo County is happening across the state. As of Tuesday, 45 of the state’s 58 counties are now in the purple tier and no counties remain in the least restrictive yellow tier.

Briefly Thieves target Davis bike shops Davis police are investigating a rash of burglaries targeting three downtown bicycle shops.

Over the past three weeks, thieves have broken into Ken’s Bike & Ski at 650 G St., Freewheeler Bicycle Center at 703 Second St., and Apex Cycles & Service, 105 E St. There have been five break-ins in all.

The most recent occurred Friday night at Freewheeler, where burglars gained entry by breaking a window and stole three bicycles.

Anyone with information is urged to contact police at 530-747-5400.

Man detained after gunfire Davis police detained a man on a mentalhealth hold Sunday night after he allegedly fired a gun inside his Seventh Street apartment.

Neighbors called police shortly after 10 p.m. to report hearing “a loud crack that sounded like a gun shot” followed by “someone yelling for help,” according to the police department’s online call log.

Arriving officers contacted the man and “believed him to be emotionally disturbed and a danger to himself,” Lt. Art Camacho said. The man was placed on a mentalhealth hold, and officers seized several firearms from the apartment, all of which were legally owned and stored.

No injuries were reported.

Sometimes, the wrong date is right ■ Editor’s Note: The following column first appeared in The Davis Enterprise on Nov. 22, 1995.

years before.

As we tried to determine who would be where when, it became obvious this was one of those Thanksgivings when we all had other commitments and obligations, as pleasant as those commitments and obligations might be, for they involved loved ones, too.

Just not loved ones who had been a part of our childhood.

I

n America we’re blessed with many wonderful holidays, but for reasons that are not entirely clear, Thanksgiving seems to be the best of them all.

I suppose it’s because it revolves around family and food, two of the favorite words in my vocabulary, to be sure.

I remember as a kid it was the one holiday where we would all be home. We might spend other parts of other holidays at an aunt’s or uncle’s or a cousin Charlie’s, but on Thanksgiving Day everyone came to our house.

The Packers and the Lions were always on TV early in the morning and, since they didn’t have domed stadiums and fake grass in those days, it was fun to watch Vince Lombardi gritting his teeth against the wind as he urged Green Bay on to greatness.

I could only imagine how much fun football in the snow must be as I sat in my pajamas sipping hot chocolate in front of the television.

Dinner was always scheduled for 2 o’clock, but never came off until

5, an excruciating three-hour miscalculation during which every potato chip, pimentoed olive, bread-and-butter pickle, and carrot stick in the house were consumed.

The smell in the house was intoxicating. Pavlov’s dogs never salivated so much.

But as wonderful as those childhood memories were, they all blend together when I think of the time not so long ago when I celebrated Thanksgiving on a day other than the fourth Thursday of November. It was 1987 and all those brothers and sisters had grown up and scattered, some near, some far.

And, as happens in so many families, it was nearly impossible for us all to gather together as we once did on Thanksgiving so many

H

owever, one genius in the family discovered we would all be in the relatively immediate area on the day before Thanksgiving. And, while it seemed like certain sacrilege, that same person suggested we cook a turkey and all have Thanksgiving dinner together on Wednesday night before going our respective ways the next day.

Now, any time you suggest two full Thanksgiving dinners to me in the same week, I’m going to be in favor of it.

Forget that it might seem weird to eat cranberry sauce on an ordinary Wednesday night when the Packers and the Lions weren’t on TV, it was still a plan with considerable merit.

So there we all were, gathered

together just like in the old days, only on the night before Thanksgiving with something very ordinary on the television.

There were Mom and Dad and brothers and sisters, several of whom had become moms and dads themselves. Yes, the grandchildren were there, too, and the house seemed full, indeed.

Once the blessing was asked and the gravy passed, it didn’t seem so weird to be eating Thanksgiving dinner on a Wednesday night after all. In fact, it seemed like a downright excellent idea.

It was, predictably, a wonderful time to reminisce, to talk about how things used to be and to catch up on each other’s lives.

We couldn’t have known then why we were all brought together that night. But the next morning, Thanksgiving morning, Dad unexpectedly slipped into a coma and died 13 days later without ever regaining consciousness.

It was the last Thanksgiving we were all together as one, and I thank God to this day for that one last wonderful Wednesday.

Deputy fires weapon during altercation with armed teen

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Chaos erupted at the Winters Police Department on Sunday night when an armed teenager threatened officers from outside the building, later triggering a chase during which a Yolo County sheriff ’s deputy “unintentionally” discharged his firearm, officials said.

The incident unfolded shortly after 6:30 p.m., when officers received a report of a man armed with a knife outside the West Main Street police station, which was closed to the public at the time. Officers who were inside the lobby made contact with the person, who allegedly was

holding a 3-inch knife.

“The subject repeatedly yelled he wanted to kill the officers, stabbing and kicking the glass doors to the lobby multiple times,” police said in a social media post following the confrontation.

Police requested assistance from the Yolo and Solano County sheriff ’s departments, initiating de-escalation techniques in the meantime.

During those negotiations, “the subject then drew a handgun from his front pocket and briefly displayed it but did not point it at the officers,” police said.

“The subject threw the gun into nearby bushes but continued to hold the knife in a threatening manner, still

yelling repeatedly he wanted to kill the officers.”

The siren from an approaching Yolo sheriff’s deputy car prompted the person to flee north on Main Street, leading to the closure of nearby streets while officers pursued him on foot and by vehicle, police said.

The chase continued eastbound on Aster Street, a residential neighborhood, where one officer deployed a Taser but was unsuccessful in subduing the person.

“The subject physically resisted officers and the deputy discharged his firearm during the altercation,” police said. “The subject was not hit and was taken into custody but continued to physically resist.”

Two Winters officers reportedly suffered minor injuries during the altercation.

Police identified the person as a 17-year-old Winters resident, who was booked at Yolo County Juvenile Hall on felony charges of resisting an officer by threat or violence and assault with a deadly weapon, after receiving medical clearance at a local hospital. Both the knife and the gun — which turned out to be a replica Glock pistol — were recovered by officers.

The incident remains under investigation by the Winters Police Department as well as the Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office, which has launched a prober into the

gun discharge.

“Last night, the Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office responded to an emergency request for backup made by officers with the Winters Police Department. Upon arrival, one of our deputy sheriffs encountered a dynamic scene with the reportedly armed suspect actively fleeing from officers,” Lt. Matt Davis said in a statement released Monday.

“As the deputy joined in the effort to take the suspect into custody, a single round was unintentionally discharged,” Davis added.

“Fortunately, nobody was hurt as a result. The Sheriff ’s Office has initiated an administrative investigation into the incident.”

Hate-crime probe after Noose found in Esparto

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer A noose found in a tree near the Esparto Cemetery earlier this month is being investigated as a possible hate crime.

A passerby discovered the noose on Friday, Nov. 13, while walking in the area, Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office spokesman Lt. Matt Davis said. He confirmed the incident Tuesday after The Davis Enterprise received a tip from a citizen.

Davis said the noose was affixed to a tree across the

street from the cemetery, located on County Road 22 west of County Road 85B. “It was referred to detectives, who are conducting follow-up,” including questioning other residents in the area, Davis said. “We were unable to identify a person who was targeted, so it’s unknown whether it was targeting someone or related to the cemetery.”

Anyone who is able to shed light on the investigation is asked to contact the Sheriff ’s Office at 530-6685280 or 530-666-8282, or leave an anonymous tip at 530-668-5248.

One arrested and several at large after Rumsey pot heist

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Several suspects remain at large following a rural Yolo County cannabis-farm burglary that led to a vehicle pursuit and crash.

According to a post on the Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office’s Facebook page, deputies were dispatched at about 2:30 a.m. Saturday to reports of a burglary in process at the Ramsey grow site.

“While en route, deputies observed three vehicles traveling eastbound on State Route 16 that were believed to be involved,” the post said.

“One vehicle was immediately located abandoned in Capay and two other suspect vehicles were pursued until they crashed into one another outside of Esparto,

disabling one of them.”

Two people fled the crash scene on foot, one of whom — Sacramento resident Kevin Toney, 23 — was apprehended. The second vehicle involved in the crash was later found abandoned in Esparto, still containing a large amount of marijuana, sheriff ’s officials said.

Toney was booked into the Yolo County Jail on suspicion of burglary, grand theft and conspiracy, while the outstanding suspects are believed to have made off with about $20,000 worth of marijuana.

Anyone with additional information about this case is urged to contact the Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office at 530-668-5280 or 530666-8282, or leave an anonymous tip at 530-6685248.

The work of Jan Goehring, a former vice president and former program chair of Davis Flower Arrangers, will be featured at the club’s next meeting, set for 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 2.

Davis Flower Arrangers mark holidays Special to The Enterprise The Davis Flower Arrangers will meet at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 2, via Zoom for a holiday workshop presented by Jan Goehring, a former vice president and former program chair of Davis Flower Arrangers, not to mention one of the groups all-time favorite presenters.

In addition, she is a National Garden Club accredited judge, a popular workshop instructor throughout the area, including the Crocker Museum, and a student of Ikebana, Japanese floral arranging. Club members can join her and learn how to use the principles of design to create their own unique holiday arrangements.

Goehring is thrilled to share new ideas because she knows everyone is looking for creative ways to brighten up our home for the holidays. She will guide participants through building their own seasonal creation by demonstrating how to use a unique container, lights, water tubes,

dried branches and flowers, as well as holiday sparkles.

The container for the workshop is a Styrofoam shape, not your typical vase, but rather one that can be reused to create an infinite variety of arrangements. Goehring has put together a kit with all the materials needed to participate in this evening’s holiday workshop. To reserve an optional kit for $20, members should contact sdegraffhunt@gmail. com before Nov. 27, and then they will be notified about the date to pick up the kit at 2137 St. Elias Place in Davis. Checks for the design kits should be made out to Davis Flower Arrangers.

Anyone who would like to join should write a check to Davis Flower Arrangers for $40 and send it to Stephanie Hunt, 2137 St. Elias Place, Davis, CA 95616. Members have access to all monthly Zoom presentations held at 7 p.m. on the first Wednesday of September through May. Each month members receive a newsletter from Sundari, the president of

the Davis Flower Arrangers, with the description of each month’s program or workshop. In addition, an invitation to the Zoom meeting will be sent a few days prior to the meeting and a recording of the meeting will be available.

Members are invited to share their arrangements at the end of the Zoom meetings and share pictures of arrangements they have made for the website.

At the end of a year that has been dark for many communities, United Way California Capital Region is asking residents across the region to join its Shine Your Light holiday campaign, which includes opportunities for community giving and safe volunteering during the holiday season.

Yolo County residents can participate in Shine Your Light by providing needed items for Davis Community Meals and Housing, Empower Yolo, Lilliput Family Services, Suicide Prevention and Crisis Services, Yolo County Children’s Alliance, Yolo County Food Bank and Winters Healthcare. To learn more about each nonprofit’s specific needs, visit Your LocalUnitedWay.org/Holiday-Giving.

“This is a year no one will forget — a year filled with deep pain, division and hardship,” said Stephanie Bray, president and CEO, United Way California Capital Region. “Children are being asked to attend school virtually and help younger siblings. Parents have lost jobs that support their family’s needs. Neighbors are struggling to stay afloat while small businesses close around them. During this dark year as we enter the holidays, we are asking residents across the greater Sacramento area to join our Shine Your Light

campaign by contributing to our nonprofit partners’ gift drives, volunteering and making financial donations.”

For the Shine Your Light campaign, United Way has gathered the needs of nearly 50 local nonprofits across the region on its website, including which need clothing, blankets, shelf-stable food, hygiene items, winter items, holiday gifts, gift cards and volunteers this holiday season.

Shine Your Light participants also can make a financial donation to United Way California Capital Region to help lift up neighbors who are struggling, including children, foster youth, students impacted

by COVID-19 and families trying to make ends meet.

As part of the campaign, United Way’s Women United action group that supports local foster youth is matching new donations to the group until they reach $35,000, giving donors the opportunity to double their gift.

To participate, visit YourLocalUnitedWay.org/ Holiday-Giving.

“In these difficult times, your gift can be a much-needed light in someone’s life during the holidays and in the months to come,” Bray said.

PURPLE: Rate keeps rising

Grazing, restoration can go together

From Page A1

Special to The Enterprise

Cases in California are increasing faster than ever, Dr. Mark Ghaly, California’s secretary of health and human services, said Tuesday.

“We are truly in the midst of a surge,” he said.

That surge in positive cases that began in late October is now impacting hospitals as well, with COVID-19 hospitalizations up statewide by 81.2 percent over the last 14 days, Ghaly said.

“We know that 12 percent of today’s cases end up hospitalized in two to three weeks,” said Ghaly, so the pressure on hospitals from infections that began two to three weeks ago will continue to grow alongside the explosion in new cases.

ICU hospitalizations of COVID-19 patients are also rising, up by 57.1 percent over the last two weeks.

“Hospital systems are stretched,” Ghaly said.

“When you see the numbers more than double in just under three weeks, we’re concerned.”

Locally, Yolo County reported 12 county residents hospitalized with COVID-19 as of Monday, well below the more than 20 hospitalized at different times during the pandemic previously.

The county’s two hospitals — Sutter Davis and Woodland Memorial — have surge capacity in the event of increased demand for ICU beds due to COVID-19, according to Jenny Tan, the county’s public information officer.

Tan said both hospitals can open up additional wings with additional ICU beds “if we get a surge of residents who need it.”

“Also, the county can work with other counties and hospitals outside of our area if there is a lack of beds … if we truly run out of space,” she said Monday.

“So don’t think that if you are in an emergency or need an ICU bed that because of COVID there won’t be any for you.”

Just as hospitalizations lag behind new cases by two to three weeks, so, too, do deaths lag behind hospitalizations. Ghaly said Tuesday the number of COVID-19 deaths in California per day could well

YOLO COUNTY/COURTESY GRAPHIC

“We are truly in the midst of a surge.”

Dr. Mark Ghaly California secretary of health and human services reach unprecedented numbers in the weeks and months ahead.

Thus far in the month of November, Yolo County has reported 14 COVID-19 deaths, nearly a fifth of all deaths since the pandemic began. Likewise, the 1,071 new cases reported in November represent nearly 25 percent of all coronavirus cases here since March.

The cities of Woodland and West Sacramento continue to report the most cases on a daily basis but no community in Yolo County has been spared. The city of Davis reported a record high 25 new cases on Tuesday, on top of 17 on Monday.

Just over half of the 25 new Davis cases on Tuesday were individuals under the age of 55.

Throughout the state, 60 percent of all cases are occurring in individuals between the ages of 18 and 49, according to Ghaly.

“Yet they make up only 7 percent of those who have the worst outcomes and death in our state,” he said, reiterating the need for younger, healthier California residents who are more likely to be asymptomatic to protect the elderly and vulnerable in California.

In Yolo County, rampant community spread of the virus has been linked to outbreaks in several skilled nursing facilities lately,

where employees likely bring the virus in after contracting it in the community.

Outbreaks were reported at skilled nursing facilities in Woodland and West Sacramento last week and now another outbreak is underway at a Davis facility.

Courtyard Healthcare Center, which had reported a total of 12 COVID-19 cases earlier in the pandemic, reported on its website Sunday that number had increased to 43, with 27 residents and 16 staff members having tested positive. Seven residents and six staff members have recovered, the message said.

“In this new world of COVID-19, rest assured we are aggressively treating and responding to potential community exposures by conducting routine testing of all our residents and staff until such time as a vaccine becomes available or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention instructs otherwise,” the message said.

Courtyard is one of 10 longterm care facilities in Yolo County where COVID-19 outbreaks have been reported. Others reporting additional cases on Tuesday were Cottonwood Post-Acute Rehab and The Californian Assisted Living and Dementia Care in Woodland and Riverbend Nursing Center in West Sacramento Since the beginning of the pandemic, the county has attributed 375 cases of the virus and 45 deaths to longterm care facilities.

BY DIANE NELSON With a little time and effort, rangeland managers can have a dramatic impact on the resilience of California’s riparian areas, which are important to the state’s human, environmental and economic well-being.

Rangeland ecologists at UC Davis found that when ranchers invest even one week a year in practices that keep cows away from creeks — like herding, fencing and providing supplemental nutrition and water — they can improve riparian health by as much as 53 percent.

“The human factor is remarkably significant,” said Ken Tate, professor and Cooperative Extension specialist in the UC Davis department of plant sciences. “Common thinking is that effectiveness of various rangeland management tools is sitespecific and largely due to site factors, such as topography and plant communities. Some practices are better suited to certain ranches for these reasons.

But this study suggests that how you implement the tools might be the biggest factor in keeping rangelands productive and environmentally sustainable.”

Tate collaborated with UC farm advisers and several other UC rangeland ecologists on the largescale riparian conservation study recently reported in the Rangeland Journal.

One-third of California — 38 million acres — is rangeland. Much of it is mountainous and arid and managed for livestock production. Grazing on rangeland feeds livestock and also offers many environmental benefits like keeping invasive weeds in check, reducing risk and intensity of wildfires, and supporting habitat for certain animals and plants found nowhere else in the world.

Problems arise, though, when cattle spend too much time near water, where manure can create water-quality risks for people downstream. That is especially true in California where some 80 percent of the state’s drinking and irrigation water is stored on or passes through rangeland.

Overgrazing in riparian areas also tramples sensitive habitat and lets perfectly good forage on hillsides go to waste.

Examining 1 million acres Tate and his team studied 46 grazing units on ranches and national forests covering nearly 1 million acres of dry, rugged rangeland in east-central and northeastern California. With the ranchers’ help, they looked at the relationship between the number of livestock, managerial effort and riparian health.

To measure riparian health, researchers looked for tiny aquatic bugs, animals and insects known as

benthic macroinvertebrates.

“We collected the kind of things you’d find under rocks when you crawled around creeks when you were a kid,” Tate explained.

“The types of bugs and creepy crawlies present and absent tell us a lot about the biodiversity and health of a stream.”

The team found no significant relationship between riparian health, the number of livestock and simple yes/no answers on whether ranchers used fencing, herding or water and salt licks on hillsides to coax cattle from creeks.

There was, however, a significant correlation between riparian health and time spent implementing those tools.

“It doesn’t take a lot of effort, but it does take some effort,” Tate said.

“When you put a salt lick on a hillside to attract cattle, for example, it’s going to lose its effectiveness if you don’t go back and refill it and move it to another hillside when the grass around it is grazed.

Cows cannot live by salt alone.”

Tate is encouraged by the results and the solutions they suggest.

“We see a lot of winwins,” Tate said. “Effective management opens up new forage opportunities and increases productivity.

And when you have more useable land, you relieve pressure on riparian areas, which is good for the environment and for agriculture.”

PICNIC: Tough decision for organizers From Page A1 in 1924. The last cancellation before the coronavirus pandemic was in 1945, when Army Signal Corps controlled the campus during World War II. In recent years, Picnic Day routinely drew more than 70,000 students and community members. The virtual event in 2021 will feature video content from past events as well as online activities throughout the day, according to the press release. The traditional Picnic Day Parade will not happen.

“I was the Parade Director in 2019, the most recent in-person Picnic Day we’ve had,” Liu said. “Trust me, this was a difficult decision to make. The parade is a

large gathering and there is no way to ensure that it would be safe for both the spectators and participants.”

Picnic Day board members have been working since the end of summer to develop a theme, logo and marshals that will be released in a video in December.

“We hope everyone will enjoy this virtual experience from the comfort of their home and urge everyone to follow public health precautions,” said Liu, who remained optimistic about putting on a virtual version of Picnic Day. “It’s a challenge,” she said, “but it’s an exciting challenge.”

OBITUARIES Milton Clay Blackman Nov. 17, 1938 — Nov. 16, 2020

Milton Clay Blackman, O.D., was born at home in Archie, La. on Nov. 17, 1938. He had no birth certificate when he needed one for a passport. His mother wrote a pleading letter to assert his birth and “she was there.”

His death resulted after a gradual decline from Alzheimer’s. He spent the last three years living at Carlton Senior Living with the excellent and compassionate care provided in memory care. Before moving to Carlton, he received wonderful care and companionship at Yolo Adult Day Health Care, Citizens Who Care, and more recently, from the nurses and caregivers from Yolo Hospice.

His parents, Clay and Althea (Richardson) preceded him in death.

The family moved to Los Angeles when Milt was a baby and he spent his school years in Maywood. After high school, they moved to Chico where Milt started college.

The U.S. Army soon called him to service.

Milt finished in Chico and was then accepted to the School of Optometry in Berkeley.

His first practice took him to Davis where he remained practicing optometry for the next 42 years. He soon became an avid Aggie fan and celebrated his retirement with a “day as a coach” for an Aggie game.

Music was a joy for Milt. His lovely baritone was a part of his church choirs, a local barbershop chorus, and, more recently, the

Woodland Chamber Singers. The highlight was performing with the WCS at Carnegie Hall in New York.

Milt’s love of the outdoors began with camping and later skiing. He joined the Davis Aquatic Masters in 1976 where he met his wife, Lorna.

Water skiing every summer with dear friends, bike trips with the Davis Bike Club and even training for mini triathlons kept him fit for many years.

He had yearly golf trips in Palm Springs with his best friend Paul Hiss.

Thanksgiving was spent camping and hiking at Big Sur with family and friends.

Milt and Lorna began their travels with a honeymoon in Tahiti and continued with several trips to Europe and Africa, and memorable trips to Alaska.

Milt is survived by his wife, Lorna Belden; children Kelly (Matt Roseberry) and Kevin (Christina); grandchildren Jessica (Chris Grubbs), Elizabeth and Mason; greatgrandson Hunter Grubbs; stepchildren Mike Stark, Wendy (Dave Banas); and stepgrandchildren Nicholas and Brenna Banas.

Milt will continue to be missed by his family and friends following the long progression of Alzheimer’s. There will be no services and the family will celebrate his life at a later date.

Donations in his name may be made to Progress Ranch Treatment Services for Children; Giffords: Courage to Fight Gun Violence; or the Alzheimer’s Association at alz.org.

Louise Micke

Feb. 8, 1939 — Nov. 17, 2020 Louise (LaBelle) Micke died peacefully on Tuesday, Nov. 17, at home with her family around her after a long battle with kidney disease and vascular dementia.

Louise was born on Feb. 8, 1939, in Edgartown, Mass., to Louis and Angela LaBelle. After growing up on Martha’s Vineyard, she moved to California after high school to be closer to her brother, Roland LaBelle.

Louise worked for UC Davis Pomology Extension where she met her husband of 58 years, Warren Micke. After moving to Hayward, Santa Barbara and Auburn, they finally settled in Davis in 1964, where they raised their two children, Catherine and Stephen.

Louise worked as a paraeducator for DJUSD, mainly working in the special ed department. She loved her time working with students, and enjoyed seeing them around town years after they graduated.

Louise was very involved in her children’s lives and activities, and has been manager of various sports teams, scorekeeper and

club leader. She enjoyed singing in the church choir, playing golf, knitting, and spending time with her pets. Most of all, she loved being a mother and grandmother!

Louise is survived by her husband Warren Micke; daughter Catherine Pereira; son Stephen Micke; grandchildren Briana Pereira, Sofia Pereira, Jordyn Micke and Joshua Micke (all of Davis); and her brother Paul LaBelle (Florida). She is predeceased by her parents, and her brother Roland.

There will be a public viewing at Smith Funeral Home, 116 D St. in Davis, from 4 to 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 23. Due to COVID, there will be a private funeral mass for family only, but a public burial at Davis Cemetery at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 24, following COVID guidelines.

Louise’s family wish to thank the caregivers at APEX, Yolo Hospice, and Doctors Alcalay and Cotterel, for their excellent care of Louise.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to your favorite charity.

Juvenile justice council seeks volunteers Special to The Enterprise The Yolo County Board of Supervisors is seeking community members to serve on the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council, a multi-agency body that is advisory to the Probation Department on a continuum of county-based rdesponses to juvenile crime.

The Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council is chaired by the chief probation officer and includes representatives from the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office, Public Defender’s Office, Sheriff ’s Department, Board of Supervisors and Health & Human Services Agency, as well as representatives from a community-based drug and alcohol program, nonprofit community-based organizations providing services to minors, a city policy department and the Yolo County Office of Education.

The Board of Supervisors has recently

added one community member position from each of the supervisorial districts to the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council.

Qualifications to serve in these positions include: experience providing communitybased youth services; youth justice advocates with expertise and knowledge of the juvenile justice system; or those that have been involved in the juvenile justice system.

“The Probation Department will benefit greatly from more public engagement on the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council as we have much to do in response to juvenile justice reform,” said Yolo County Chief Probation Officer Dan Fruchtenicht.

Apply at www.yolocounty.org/general -government/board-of-supervisors/ advisory-bodies. The council is expected to meet monthly in late 2020 and early 2021, and then quarterly going forward.

CONSTRUCTION: Full speed ahead From Page A1 the Division of the State Architect, with DSA approval expected next month. Construction is expected to begin in March 2021, with completion expected in May 2022. The current Birch Lane Multipurpose Room dates from the early 1960s, and was not originally intended to be used as an MPR; it is also smaller than the MPRs at most elementary campuses in Davis.

■ North Davis Elementary Multipurpose Room.

This $14.8 million project will replace the small MPR at North Davis that was built in the late 1950s. Construction is expected to begin in June 2021, with completion expected in June 2022.

■ Willett Elementary Multipurpose Room. This $13.2 million project will replace a small MPR that was built in the 1960s.

Construction is expected to begin in June 2021, with completion expected in June 2022.

■ Chávez Elementary Multipurpose Room. This $14 million project will replace the small MPR that was built in the 1950s.

Construction is expected to begin in July 2021, with completion expected in

July 2022.

■ Da Vinci High School Tech Hub. This $16.4 million project at the Valley Oak campus will include a mini-gym, as well as classrooms for science and Career Technical Education.

Construction is expected to begin in July 2021, with completion expected in August 2022.

■ STEM Building at Davis High School. (STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and math.) This two-story building will include twelve lab classrooms (each 1,440 square-feet), providing more modern lab classrooms for high school science instruction.

■ Aquatic Center at Davis High School. This athletic facility will include a 50 meter pool with 17 lanes and two diving boards. There will also be changing rooms, restrooms, an equipment room, deck space and bleachers for spectators.

The STEM Building and Aquatic Center at Davis High are expected to begin construction in 2022, with completion in 2023. During the Nov. 19 school board meeting, Owen Yancher (a member of the aquatics coaching staff ) urged the trustee to prioritize construction of the

Aquatic Center and move up those construction dates. The trustees did not immediately take action on Yancher’s suggestion, but did approve the schematic designs for the STEM Building and the Aquatic Center.

■ Other Projects at Davis High include several Career Technical Education Projects, including updated Robotics classrooms ($6 million), a $3.3 million expansion of the Automotive program’s existing facilities, and a $3.1 million modernization of the Agriculture program’s existing facilities.

■ Anderson Corridor Grant. The school district and Davis city government are preparing for a grant application (due by Jan. 15) that would improve the drop-off zone and parking lot at Chávez Elementary, and a new parking lot on the northern portion of Redwood Park, which is adjacent to the school campus.

From Page A1 noticed the power and potential her peers possess to make a big difference.

Without a formal club at her school to encourage volunteering for a long-term impact, Hassan created the club to unite her motivated peers to help address various social issues.

Hassan says her goal for the club is to leave behind a legacy and to inspire others to become tomorrow’s leaders of change.

“Although this is just a high school club, I want there to be a meaning behind our name. Whenever DoSomething Davis Club comes up, I want people to associate positive change and growth with it. I want this small club to help shape our community into a safe place where all of us live happily.”

So far, the new club has about 10 members.

For events that require more people, the club collaborates with the school’s other top leading clubs, like the California Scholarship Federation, National Honors Society and Key Club, for their support.

Although the club just started this year, Hassan says the group has already begun to address some current big issues.

For the election, club members put up flyers with an easy QR code to encourage and remind people to vote. The code led to a webpage that would allow a person to register to vote in less than 10 minutes.

Collectively, DoSomething clubs got more than 80,000 people registered to vote this year.

The DoSomething club at DHS also supported frontline workers, doctors and patients who have faced hardships during the COVID-19 pandemic. “(Doctors) are willing to take a bullet for their country, which is just as respectable as a soldier

going off to war. To honor the doctors and uplift the patients, last week our club decorated Sutter Davis Hospital, and the sense of gratitude we got was priceless,” Hassan said.

When the pandemic began and schools moved to online learning, the club was left with two options: to postpone the club until later or to take COVID-19 as an opportunity to help. Particularly for elder generations, who are at a higher risk of the virus’s fatal outcomes, Hassan believes that this is the perfect time for youths to step up and take action.

“We chose to take the latter option because our club is about helping out and bettering our community, and honestly I think that this is the time when a team like ours is needed.”

The club has been staying virtual to keep the members updated and motivated. Apart from their Zoom meetings, the group has been interacting through weekly newsletters, discord servers, social media and email.

For their most recent event, held Nov. 21 and 22, called “Davis Painted Rock Scavenger Hunt,” they partnered with other clubs at the high school to hide painted rocks all around downtown Davis. Each rock had positive messages and designs drawn on them to uplift participants. The person who found the most rocks received a prize of $15.

As for future events, Hassan says the club has many ideas but is limited on time. They’ve maintained a consistent month-by-month schedule with a planner for each of the events and activities.

“Our main theme is to be helping others and making our community a better place, which is what we have been striving toward since Day 1.”

COVID cases end self-haul service

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer The Yolo County Central Landfill’s self-haul service will be closed until further notice after two staff members tested positive for COVID-19 last week.

Both employees worked in the scale-house building and are now isolating at home.

“The county’s public health team has already started contact tracing procedures and will be working to ensure that those that were in close contact are notified,” the county announced in a press release. “There was limited exposure to Yolo County residents who were using the scale-house due to short interaction time.”

The landfill has been adhering to state and local social distancing and disinfecting protocols and has been requiring all staff and visitors to wear a face covering, the county said.

Mitigation efforts underway include: ■ Temporarily limiting staff within the office to critical infrastructure and service.

■ Scheduling deep cleaning for impacted facilities.

■ Communicating consistently with Yolo County Public Health.

■ Launching contact tracing investigations.

■ Sending all staff home who are deemed to have been in close contact with the exposed staff members to self-quarantine and providing testing information.

■ Ensuring sufficient supplies and continuous trainings of PPE such as face coverings.

■ Continuing and increasing disinfection techniques.

As a result of limited staff, the landfill’s self-haul service and the Esparto Convenience Center will be closed to the public until further notice.

The landfill will accept household hazardous waste loads and some business and landfill account customers between Monday and Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will be closed on Sundays. For questions regarding selfhaul, customers should call 530-666-8727.

No changes to Yolobus services under curfew

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Yolobus has no plans to change any routes under the state’s new limited stayat-home order, the agency announced last week.

That order limits travel during the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. to essential workers and for essential purposes such as trips for groceries and medication.

Yolobus already operates at a reduced level during those hours and is generally restricted to routes 215, 42A and 42B. “Under the new limited stay-at-home order, Yolobus currently does not have plans to reduce service any further than what already exists,” the agency said in a press release.

Since late March, Yolobus service levels have been modified three times

because of COVID-19 to help address changes in available drivers and reduced demand, both due to COVID-19, as well as to help ensure the health and safety of customers and employees.

“Services currently being operated are in place to help our customers continue to make their essential trips and travel,” the press release said. “All Yolobus services feature enhanced health and safety features, including required face coverings for all travel, driver barriers, and hand sanitizer dispensers on every bus.”

For additional information on services currently operating, customers should visit https://www. yolobus.com/covid-19/ or call Yolobus at 530-6662877.

Study: Low food-safety risk at farmers markets

BY AMY QUINTON Special to The Enterprise A new study by UC Davis researchers finds a low risk of contamination of foodborne pathogens on produce and meat at Northern California certified farmers markets, but still finds cause for some concern.

The study, published in the Journal of Food Protection, examined the prevalence of salmonella on meat and produce, as well as the prevalence of generic E. coli on produce.

Samples were taken from 44 certified Northern California farmers markets, including in the Sacramento region and Bay Area.

Less than 2 percent (1.8 percent) of animal products sampled, including beef, pork and poultry, tested positive for salmonella, while all produce samples tested negative.

Slightly more than 30 percent (31.3 percent) of produce tested positive for generic E. coli, an indication of fecal contamination, but not all E. coli is harmful. This study didn’t test for pathogenic E. coli.

“Based on this data, I think it’s safe to consume meat and produce from farmers markets,” said lead author Alda Pires, a UC

Cooperative Extension specialist and research scientist in the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. “That’s a low risk of contamination of foodborne pathogens, especially salmonella.”

While the prevalence of generic E. coli may seem relatively high, the concentrations were low. Pires said that’s especially so compared to previous studies of contamination at farmers markets elsewhere in the United States. The prevalence of salmonella in meat sampled from Northern California farmers markets is also much lower than what previous studies have found in grocery stores.

Among the produce sampled, leafy greens had the highest prevalence of E. coli, followed by root vegetables.

Consumers and farmers should still be aware that produce and meat were not free from contamination.

Consumers need to make sure the foods they prepare from farmers markets follow the good hygiene practices recommended by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Consumers should also keep produce separate from meat to avoid cross-contamination.

It’s the 2020 Garden Turkey Awards

BY DON SHOR Special to The Enterprise

“I

’m having a heck of a time with something eating all my lettuce!”

“I planted peas and they came up, and then they disappeared, like, overnight!”

“Something took one bite out of each of my persimmons and then knocked them to the ground!”

I share my property with lots of wildlife, and mostly we get along well. But a few of what we call “vertebrate pests” can be pretty infuriating, and some of these critters find their way into town to the consternation of home gardeners in Davis. The good news is they’re easy to identify. The bad news is they are not easy to control.

Managing vertebrate pests focuses on these strategies: ■ Removing food sources.

■ Removing nesting sites.

■ Removing habitat.

■ Trap and relocate (by professionals only).

■ Lethal removal.

■ Physical barriers.

Happy Thanksgiving!

In recent years wild turkeys have reached numbers in town to the point that they cause havoc just by walking through your garden.

In rural properties, natural predators and humans keep the turkey population at a reasonable balance. In town, high fecundity and low predation yields a challenge. A few dozen heavy birds with large clawed feet can do a lot of damage just by ambling through your new plantings and stopping to take dust baths.

Since “lethal removal” is out of the question in city limits, gardeners will need to rely on the other strategies, and your best bet is to focus on barriers. Make it inconvenient for the birds to eat your veggies, so they head on down the street to your neighbors.

Although turkeys can fly, more or less, they seem to prefer not to. A sturdy fence made of poultry wire at about 3- to 4-foot height will often be sufficient to get them to move along.

Pest of the season: White-crowned sparrows Adopting their neutral voice, Wikipedia informs us that “these birds forage on the ground or in low vegetation, but sometimes make short flights to catch flying insects. They mainly eat seeds, other plant parts and insects. In winter, they often forage in flocks.”

“Other plant parts” my foot. This innocuous description doesn’t do justice to their garden behavior. A more accurate

GREG HUME/WIKIMEDIA COMMONS PHOTO

Davis achieved nationwide fame (again) for a large tom turkey that harassed people in the downtown area until it was, um, lethally removed. The increasing numbers in flocks locally can cause problems for area gardeners. description would be: rumbling in gangs, they maraud through your garden and completely annihilate young seedlings in a coordinated, systematic manner. Lettuce and peas appear to be especially popular. This is the only bird species that does significant damage in our gardens. I have never had as many complaints about white-crowned sparrows as we’ve had this fall.

They are migratory, arriving about the same time each fall (my calendar note says September 20) and leaving reliably midspring (April 12).

Barriers are your best strategy. They feed near the cover of bushes to be able to hide at the approach of predators, so the damage begins nearest your hedge or shrubbery.

Bird netting is not fun, as they get tangled in it. A cage-like barrier made of small-mesh wire can be set over a bed of seedlings until they’ve established after several weeks.

Pest of the decade: tree squirrels I have long battled California ground squirrels in my almond orchard. A native species, these are primarily orchard pests, although they can damage garden crops. I learned this year, for example, that they like to eat pumpkins just as they ripen.

Tree squirrels are on another level entirely.

Tree squirrels were not a problem in Davis until the 1990s. First reports of damage in gardens came in from southeast Davis and El Macero. Within a couple of years tree squirrels were throughout South Davis, then East Davis. By the mid-2000s tree squirrels were in Central and North Davis, and now damage reports come from all parts of town.

I can attest that they have spread west and

south into rural areas where there is sufficient woody cover for them to breed and establish populations. As raptors and other predators increase with their territory expansion, the squirrel population will reach an equilibrium. That level depends on the extent of natural predation amount of habitat, and number of food sources. So the damage varies from one neighborhood to another.

Gardeners have tried nearly every strategy. You can go down the checklist: ■ Food sources: don’t feed any animals outside.

Don’t feed the squirrels!

■ Nesting sites: they are not necessarily in your yard, but likely nearby.

They make nests of leaves and small branches up in trees, in overgrown tall bushes, in tree cavities, and sometimes in sheds or attics. They make multiple nests, depending on the need for cover and proximity to food sources. Good luck finding them all.

■ Habitat: they like your overgrown bushes for cover. A good yard cleanup might reduce their activity.

■ Trap and relocate?

Nope. Illegal.

■ Lethal removal: killing them is not a safe, legal or humane option in city limits. Tree squirrels are a protected game species, so they can only be killed during squirrel hunting season. They are considered edible. (Ground squirrels are not protected.

They don’t taste good.)

■ Bait should not be used as it endangers pets and wildlife.

■ Repellents: squirrels quickly get used to things that move or make noise.

A super-soaker squirt gun with some soapy water can be somewhat effective, or at least provide a measure of satisfaction to the gardener.

So that leaves barriers.

Some gardeners surround their garden beds with posts so they can attach wire screening. It needs to go over the top of the bed.

Damage to fruit trees is infuriating. They often knock all the unripe fruit to the ground without even eating it. If you have kept your fruit trees a manageable size by summer pruning for size control, try covering them with bird netting as the fruit ripens. Or just bag some of the fruit for yourself as it is developing and hope for the best with the remainder.

A pest control pro who called in to a recent garden talk show told us his course of action. Fruit trees are pruned up to expose the trunk which is then wrapped with light aluminum flashing. The flashing is coated with Vaseline or mineral oil.

Carpet tack strips are attached to the upper runners of the fence. I can’t vouch for these strategies but pass them along for desperate gardeners to consider.

Roof rats Squirrel damage tends to be extensive, somewhat random, and occurs during the daytime — often right in front of you, as tree squirrels habituate to humans and dogs quite readily.

Limited damage occurring at night is likely from roof rats, also called tree rats. They are more fastidious, almost obsessive, in the way they feed. I have found kumquats neatly peeled underneath my tree (the peel is sweet, and the flesh of the kumquat is tart, so they just ate the peel). On a nearby navel orange, an occasional fruit will be carefully hollowed out, leaving just the peel.

Damage to orchard fruit is often limited to the trees at the wilder end.

Roof rats can move through your yard without ever touching the ground.

Moving with great agility from roof to fence to tree to power wires, they scurry rapidly when they are exposed to the open sky (and owls) at night. Pruning shrubs and trees away from the fence can help.

Most people find they can tolerate the small amount of damage from roof rats.

Increasing the number of owl boxes in an area could be a community project to help reduce the rat population.

Other mammals that cause occasional problems include opossums, raccoons, and skunks. In general, these do transient damage, although they will revisit yards that have ongoing food sources.

Skunks may dig in your lawn, looking for grubs.

On the plus side, they also eat snails. As my mother often said, you leave them

alone and they’ll leave you alone.

What kind of barrier keeps animals out?

At the hardware or feed store you will find an array of wire mesh products. For most purposes, a denser mesh will be necessary.

“Hardware cloth rolled fencing” is the rather odd name for a dense-woven wire metal product that is sturdy yet malleable enough to simply fold and bend into a protective cover. It also is sturdy enough to use as an underground barrier against pocket gophers. But that is a whole ’nother column someday.

Invertebrate Pest of the Year In terms of the sheer number brought in for ID, leaf-footed bugs are the pest of the year. They are readily identified by the wing-like or leaf-like appendage on the rear legs.

Notable for their size and odd appearance, they tend to gather (aggregate) as adults particularly as the weather is getting colder. People are often startled to find them crowded on pomegranate fruits, or on south- or west-facing walls, sometimes in large numbers.

Younger ones (instars) are different colors than the adults.

This is a native insect that has moved happily onto cultivated crops. They do some barely noticeable damage to soft fruit such as tomatoes and peaches, not enough to worry about. They can cause some of your pomegranates to rot due to injecting spoilage organisms as they feed, but ordinarily you have many unaffected fruit as well. Leaf-footed bugs do significant economic harm to almonds.

They overwinter as adults, in a lot of places.

One preferred site is inside

the pomegranate fruit that you didn’t pick that hangs on the tree until spring.

Cleaning those up in late fall can reduce populations. They are an increasing pest in much of California. The vast increases in orchard acreage are probably partly to blame, and warmer winters will likely extend the range and numbers.

There are no pesticides that you would want to use that give effective control (farmers do have some options). In a garden with sufficient diversity of wildlife, they won’t build up to damaging numbers. Scrub jays and mockingbirds feed on them, and those birds are easy to encourage. Large aggregations can be knocked into a bucket of soapy water or sucked into a shop vacuum (seal a plastic bag over the end before you put it back in your garage …).

Most important, it seems (based on the conversations I have with people encountering them for the first time): they don’t bite, they don’t spread diseases, and they don’t do that much damage in the garden. Live and let live. If you squish one, you will quickly understand why they are in the category of true bugs that we call “stink bugs.”

Many companies that provide household pest control also provide services for dealing with bird and mammal pests. The UCANR website provides additional control strategies: http://ipm.ucanr.edu/.

Virtual Davis tree-lighting ceremony streams Dec. 3

Have personal Zoom chat with Santa Dec. 11-13

Enterprise staff

The Davis Odd Fellows Lodge has organized and hosted the very popular “Breakfast with Santa” — bringing joy to thousands of local children, their parents, grandparents and guardians — for more than 15 years. In 2020, however, the traditional Breakfast with Santa is not feasible due to the pandemic.

That’s not stopping the Odd Fellows or Santa. This year, ensuring everyone’s safety, the Odd Fellows offer the children of the community an exciting alternative: individual “Zoom Visits with Santa.”

The dates available for the

The traditional live community tree lighting events in downtown Davis will not be held this year due to public-health restrictions. The city of Davis, however, is honoring the annual tree lighting festivities with a virtual online program beginning at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 3. Links to the streaming options can be found on the city’s web site at www.cityofdavis.org.

A decorated live tree will once again be placed in the E Street Plaza. The tree lights will be turned on for public viewing on Thursday, Dec. 3, and will remain lit every night through the holidays.

The virtual tree lighting will feature welcoming remarks from Davis Mayor Gloria Partida, followed by the traditional holiday tree lighting countdown. The tree lighting will be followed by pre-recorded holiday performances by local Davis groups.

Davis High world civilization and psychology teacher Holly Istas has had a passion for photography since she was young. It started when her grandfather gave her an old camera of his. It was a Yashica 35mm film camera.

“I played around with artsy photographs when I was little, like setting up still lifes and black and white pictures,” Istas said.

Istas took photography classes in college, where she learned how to work in a dark room, develop pictures and print them. When her oldest daughter was born, she started her own photography studio and stayed in the business for seven years.

Istas photographed everything from weddings to business portraits and family photography, traveling as far as a small town in Devon, England, for a whimsical wedding.

In the early 2000s Istas moved to Davis and found a teaching job at DHS. As of this year, she has been teaching there for 10 years. “(Istas) is very creative,” said Kevin Williams, a colleague and good friend of Istas. “That’s what makes her a great teacher. Her mind is always open to new ideas.”

Istas’ experience with cameras still sticks with her. “I can see a picture and tell if it was taken with a film camera or a digital camera. There’s a difference in depth,” she said.

Although distance learning has taken away the interactive teaching environment where Davis High English teacher Christine Baker thrives, she has been a source of knowledge about new online teaching technology for many of her co-workers.

Before working at DHS, Baker taught at Sacramento New Technology High School for 15 years, where she experimented with technologically innovative teaching techniques. Baker came to DHS two years ago.

Now, with her teaching solely online, she tries to interact with her students at every opportunity in this online learning environment.

“I know that the rest of the world is scared of teenagers.

I don’t have that. I really like teenagers, I love working with them,” Baker said.

Baker’s mastery with Canvas, this year’s new distance learning management system, has helped the DHS English department as a whole. Baker even created a video to help teachers navigate the program.

Baker’s friend and colleague, Elieen Guerard, both participated in group video chats just before school started to talk about their problems with Canvas.

“Christine is always willing to try new things and to share her results with others,” Guerard said.

An average day for Davis High counselor Elizabeth Arroyo is busy. During the day, she is focused on working one-on-one with students. But at night, she prepares homemade meals for her family.

Brian Garcia was a junior when he first met with Arroyo. “(My) experience with her helped me a lot; she motivated me to keep trying,” he said.

Garcia has now graduated from DHS, and thanks Arroyo for her help. “She didn’t look at me as (a) nobody, like most people would.”

She’s always enjoyed watching students grow. “It’s rewarding to see students be successful,” Arroyo said.

Being a DHS counselor is demanding, so she finds relaxation in cooking. “It’s a stress reliever and keeps your mind busy (from) whatever else is bothering you,” Arroyo said. “You’re able to focus on something you can create a product from.”

Arroyo strives to cook at least one meal a day, either for herself or family.

In both her job and hobbies, what matters most to Arroyo is seeing the results of her hard work.

“It’s the impact on people,” Arroyo said. “(With) students, it’s rewarding for both the student and the counselor, and with cooking ... it benefits (family), too.”

High school club sports continue to travel out-of-state

BY STEPHANIE THOMPSON HUB Staff Students participating in club sports have continued to practice and play in outof-state competitions.

For many high school athletes, competing on a club team is essential for college recruitment.

Davis High senior Mason Johnstone has played club lacrosse for nine years. He plays for a Sacramento team, named ADVNC, and practices with his team in Granite Bay two to three times a week.

ADVNC travels both domestically and internationally for competitions. His team has traveled to Utah, Nevada and Colorado for lacrosse scrimmages in the past year.

While traveling, Johnstone is sure to stay socially distant when necessary, and uses hand sanitizer to ensure that germs aren’t spreading.

Although club sports this year are different from previous years due to the decreased number of games he gets to play and the fewer places he gets to travel, Johnstone still enjoys playing with his club team. “It’s a higher level than high school, and we travel to all these really cool places,” Johnstone said.

DHS junior Isabella Lester plays club softball, and has been playing for seven years. Since the COVID shutdown, her team has traveled to San Leandro and

Oregon for tournaments.

Lester’s team has its own indoor facility the team uses for practices, alongside an outdoor area where athletes can spread out a little more.

“Because there’s limited space in (the facility), we break up into smaller groups so that there’s less people in one room. (...)

Outdoor practices are more easy because it’s more spaced out, ” Lester said.

Lester notes how recruitment by college coaches is more challenging because it’s harder to get coaches to watch tournaments and find potential college athletes due to COVID-19 restrictions and less playing time.

Lester strives to do the best she can at her sport.

“It’s something that I’ve always really wanted to excel and be great in. It’s something that I just enjoy doing, and I have fun with my teammates,” Lester said.

Senior Megan Looney, a member of the Davis Legacy soccer team, traveled to Phoenix, Ariz., the weekend of Nov. 14 to participate in an Elite Clubs National League tournament.

Due to COVID 19, the team was out of contact for around eight months.

“Arizona was a huge blessing since we have had to cancel games and tournaments,” Looney said. “We were very successful even with the lack of playing we had.”

Prop. 13 loses some mystique

Homelessness “P among students is grave concern

BY JOSEPH BISHOP AND XILONIN CRUZ-GONZALEZ Special to CalMatters

D

uring the COVID-19 pandemic, little attention has been paid to the plight of students without any homes or unstable housing.

Our research at UCLA shows that more than 269,000 K-12 students are experiencing homelessness in California, the highest number in the country, and a figure so large it could fill Dodger Stadium five times over.

Lawmakers at every level of government have a role to play in tackling the student homelessness crisis, especially the more than 5,000 California school board members who govern more than 1,000 school districts and county offices of education.

Student homelessness has increased by 48% in California over the past decade. Seven out of 10 California students grappling with homelessness are Latinx and a disproportionate number of Black youth find themselves in similar circumstances.

Homelessness is not unique to K-12 schools, affecting 1 in 5 community college students, 1 in 10 California State University students, and 1 in 20 UC students are experiencing homelessness. These are alarming numbers, but they likely underestimate the severity of the problem, because limited resources prevent schools and other agencies from accurately identifying all students experiencing homelessness. And with some of the highest unemployment numbers in 50 years confronting us and no clear end in sight to COVID-19-related restrictions, we should expect the number of students facing homelessness to grow.

Even as we prepare for tough budget decisions ahead, with less state money and limited federal support, here are five things school board members can do as soon as they take office or start a new term to prioritize the academic success and health of students experiencing homelessness.

■ Familiarize yourself with student homelessness numbers in your county and district. We developed an interactive map (transformschools.ucla.edu/stateof crisis/map) to show the racial realities of homelessness for each county and to highlight differences in educational outcomes and college readiness for students who are unhoused.

■ Connect with your district and county homeless liaison and ask to speak with students and families experiencing homelessness in your community. Liaisons shoulder the primary responsibility for eliminating educational barriers for students experiencing homelessness, ensuring school stability and academic support, coordinating housing services and providing transportation for young people. They can provide immediate insights into how your district and board can be more helpful, acting as a bridge between students and the board.

■ Help broker conversations and open doors between cities, school districts, colleges and counties to provide and coordinate access to resources to support students and families experiencing homelessness. Such conversations can lead to the support of after-school programming and community services from businesses, faith-based organizations and nonprofits, and can help improve coordination across city departments and neighborhoods disproportionately impacted by housing instability.

■ Facilitate conversations with your colleagues on the board and district about the connection between race, homelessness and education. Latinx (70%) and Black (9%) students who are experiencing homelessness are almost twice as likely to be suspended or miss an extended period of school to absenteeism, experience lower graduation rates and to be less ready for college than their non-homeless peers (27%). The intersection of poor educational outcomes and homelessness present within schools cannot be overlooked and should be explored more deliberately to change existing patterns of inequality.

■ Make the educational success of students experiencing homelessness a top policy priority in your community. This can be reflected in the district’s Local Control Accountability Plan, city economic development goals and the sharing of communitywide strategies for identifying and serving students experiencing homelessness.

Schools and school boards play a pivotal role in bringing services, resources and academic support to students to improve their ability to get educated, find employment and improve their quality of life.

Student homelessness is a problem that cannot be solved by educational institutions alone. This is a crisis that deserves the attention and immediate action of lawmakers at every level of government, especially school board members.

roposition 13 is still the third rail of California politics,” crowed Jon Coupal in the headline of an Internet posting days after the narrow defeat of November’s Proposition 15, which aimed to take the property tax benefits of the 1978 Prop. 13 away from commercial and industrial property.

“Prop. 13 has almost mythical powers against those who would assail it,” Coupal also told a reporter.

Not exactly. For after its loss, the sponsors of Proposition 15 immediately announced plans to bring it back again two years from now.

That’s apparently OK with Coupal, the head of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, named for the co-author of Prop. 13’s property tax limits. He argued that this fall’s timing could not have been better for Prop. 15, which embodied a concept called the “split roll.”

Had the split roll passed, residential properties all over California would still have kept all current features of Prop. 13, which sets taxes at 1 percent of the most recent sales price, levies rising no more than 2 percent per year after that. Properties that have not changed hands since 1978 are taxed at 1 percent of their 1975 appraised value, plus that maximum

Thanksgiving It’s Davis in the time of COVID, and the world seems flooded with uncertainty and negativity. I have just canceled an appointment to try on glasses at my optometrist out of sheer confusion. I imagined having to take my mask off to try on glasses and decided not to risk it.

Still, I had errands to do so I put on my N95 mask and entered the fray. I arrived first at the package store, yet another failed Amazon purchase. I was carrying the hefty box that had to be returned. As I approached the door a masked young woman, engrossed in her cell phone and seemingly indifferent, opened the door to the package store, held it while I walked in, and walked away, still on her phone. She did it just because she could, and I thanked her a lot.

Then I walked over to the Nugget under a sky so blue it took my breath away. I approached the line of sterilized carts and a man, wearing shorts and a comfy looking T-shirt, got to the line of carts before I did. He stood back and waved me forward.

While I was in the Nugget, I called my optometrist back and asked if I could please still come. No, they are being very careful about numbers in the office said the young woman, so I’ll have to wait till another day. After we made another appointment she said, “It’s OK, you did the right thing; you’re just trying to be safe. That’s what we’re all doing.”

When I finally went to check out, the bagging clerk took my bags with me to the car. I figured it would give him a break and a chance to be outside. He agreed, he said the day was just so beautiful.

And I thought, this is where I get to live. Sometimes there are waves of kindness that arrive from one heart to another in a time of vulnerability and fear, this is what’s possible to do. This is Thanksgiving, may it grow and grow.

ut Coupal ignored the coronavirus pandemic. Some consequences of that plague, like its emptying out of many office towers, made very uncertain the $12 billion in new revenues split roll backers promised to local governments and schools. The pandemic also has shut down myriad businesses everywhere in California, many permanently.

Increased commercial real estate taxes would have been passed through to surviving businesses and their customers, even as they tried to recover.

Those conditions mitigated against passage, and the measure lost by a slim 52-48 percent margin, or 670,000 votes out of almost 16 million cast.

If Prop. 13 were really a third rail, a type of railroad track that deals electric shocks to anyone who

touches it, no one would want to bring it back. The losers would be nursing their wounds.

Instead, they can’t wait to bring the split roll back in 2022. Said the Public Advocates non-profit law firm, “Rest assured the fight for adequate funding for our schools and communities is far from over … the total vote, with 7.5 million in favor, is cause for optimism. Californians know there is an unacceptable gap between the haves and have-nots in our state.”

So it’s virtually a sure thing the split roll will return in the next general election, with a different number and a different ballot description, but the same mission of revising current property tax law to make business property owners pay more of the freight.

Which demonstrates Prop. 13 likely has lost whatever mythical power kept it from being seriously challenged over its first 42 years.

2 percent yearly increment.

This system sees owners of identical, side-by-side homes that sold at different times paying vastly different tax bills. Homes that stayed in the same hands for the last 45 years pay significantly less than neighbors who moved in more recently. The difference can come to tens of thousands of dollars each year.

Split roll leaves all this alone. Instead, the failed fall initiative went after commercial property, never the main focus when Prop. 13 originally passed.

The emphasis then was on preventing seniors and other longtime homeowners from being priced out of their homes by the rapidly accelerating property taxes of that time.

Coupal claimed this fall was the ideal time for labor unions and leftists to go after part of Prop. 13.

He also steadily contends that an attack on any part of Prop. 13 amounts to a threat to all of it. He noted that the fall election

promised to draw record numbers of voters because of President Trump’s presence on the ballot. It did.

He claimed the ballot description by state Attorney General Xavier Becerra was misleadingly favorable to Prop. 15. It was. And he said labor unions were flush with money from dues with which to back the split roll.

And they did. The California Teachers Association alone put up more than $20 million.

Thanks for helping women and girls Soroptimist International of Davis would like to thank the Davis community for supporting our Soup Night and Silent Auction on Nov. 19.

In prior years, this event was in-person, and all community members were invited to come for soup and fellowship, and to bid in our silent auction. This year, due to COVID19,the event was changed to a curbside delivery dinner at Sudwerk Brewing Co., an online auction, and a livestream show on YouTubehighlighting our club’s work.

We thank our sponsors: First Northern Bank, Hoffmann Automotive, Lea Rosenberg, Chapman Consulting, Memmott Consulting, Julie Otto (RE/MAX Gold), Focused Path Coaching, Bohème Used Clothing & Gifts, Strelitzia Flower Company, and Lucas Frerichs.

In addition, we are grateful for the major donations of many area businesses and individuals, including from Armadillo Music, Baker Optometry, Blake’s Heating & Air, Davis Food Co-op, El Macero Country Club, European Wax Center, FIT House, Great Bear Vineyards, Jeff Likes Clean Windows & Gutters, NTU Technologies, Nugget Markets, Pomegranate Salon, RE/MAX Gold, Seasons Restaurant, SwimAmerica Davis, The Davis Enterprise, Upper Crust Baking and Zumapoke & Lush Ice.

Much appreciation to Sudwerk Brewing Co. and Upper Crust Baking for assistance with the dinner, and Strelitzia Flower Company and Davis Media Access for hosting the video presentation. And cheers to all of the Soroptimists and community members who stepped up to volunteer.

Thank you also to those who participated by making a donation, purchasing items though the silent auction or buying a dinner. We appreciate the patience of those who endured extended waits for food.

The word Soroptimist means “best for women.” Our focus is on helping local women and girls achieve economic empowerment through access to education and training. Donations are still being accepted from those who text “sidavis” to 88793. Also, the video, with information on our programs, is available for viewing at sidavis.org/soupnight.

What we can learn from Guinness & Measure B

P

hilosophers and entrepreneurs tell us there is much to be learned from failure and that success without earlier failure is rare. I can understand the argument, but failure, it seems to me, is a rough teacher, whom I would rather do without. At least it may teach us to avoid making the same mistake twice.

In this context, three failures that have recently attracted my attention might be worth a mention.

Measure B, and so the DISC project it would have permitted, failed with the Davis electorate. I hope there is a lesson there for those who, in the future, would imagine development projects in Davis. I am not swayed by useful, even necessary projects that are profitable for all, even if they promise endless supplies of lowcost housing (whatever that is). I want projects in Davis that we can all be proud of. Such projects that, in 30, or 40 or even 50 years, we will still look upon with pride and say that the folks back then did the best they could under the circumstances they faced and the ideas and technologies then available.

There are not many such projects.

In fact, the only development that comes close to this ideal, in my mind, is the Village Homes

development by Mike Corbett started way back in 1975. This was designed as an environmentally and people-friendly area of some 75 acres that, among many other climate-related mitigations, made use of passive solar energy (villagehomesdavis.org).

It’s still a delight to walk through that area particularly in the springtime when the fruit trees bloom.

The Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science at UCD is also a memorable development to be proud of. The Teaching and Research Winery and the August A. Busch III Brewing and Food Science Laboratory is designed to satisfy LEED Platinum building and construction standards — the highest certification granted by the U.S. Green Building Council.

There are few such buildings about. As Mike Corbett conceived Village Homes so Prof.

Roger Boulton led the Mondavi project on campus.

Both did the best they could with the tools available and set a high standard. They created something to be proud of that will stand the test of time. Maybe that’s the lesson that failure of Measure B and DISC teaches: bring us worthy projects.

Another recent failure may have lessons to teach. In this case the Guinness Brewing Company,

which is among the oldest and most famous brewing enterprises on the planet, recalled its Guinness 0.0 alcohol-free beer from the market about two weeks after it was launched.

Guinness, in the halcyon days that I remember with great fondness, had a powerful presence in science. They had good scientists housed in modern research and quality control laboratories.

I would like to think that is still the case today, under Diageo ownership, and it might well be.

However, good scientists and good labs are not cheap and I just wonder if there has been some slippage over the years. I say this because microbial spoilage of beer is not exactly an unknown problem. Large brewers with decades, even centuries, of experience have learned to bring bacterial spoilage under control. In fact, meeting microbiological standards of stability should be among the primary criteria upon which beer “release” is predicated.

It’s doubtful that the spoilage of this product involved pathogenic microbes because beer is an acid product that prevents that. Generally beer spoilage affects its flavor and clarity; that may be unpleasant but not exactly harmful. However, Guinness 0.0 is a new product and doubtless made by new processes. Those things may throw a curve ball at standard practices of plant hygiene.

H

owever, having to recall a product just launched into the market is a big deal and we might wonder why that circumstance arose. Was someone in charge in a big hurry and so failed to do the science of production and quality control carefully and fully? Was there an unexpected quality in the beer or a hidden quirk in the manufacturing process that allowed the contamination to thrive? Has the company, perhaps to save time and money, lowered too far its scientific guard? Do these questions remind us of a new vaccine coming to market?

Time will tell, of course, because there are lessons to learn.

The third item arises from an article in Brauwelt, a German brewing magazine, written by Ina Verstl. It’s a long piece about ABInbev that deals with economic matters not technical

ones. Verstl criticizes the company’s aggressive growth strategy that caused it to acquire the assets of SABMiller for some $108 billion in 2016. She sees this deal as initially unwise and ultimately potentially disastrous because the company is left with mountains of debt.

ABInbev has sold off about one-third of SABMiller assets, giving up about half of its profitability — a strategy Verstl characterizes as “buy high sell low.”

Heads have rolled.

Nevertheless, there is reason to be, if not bullish, then not bearish, because ABInbev retains a large presence in markets in Africa and Asia. That was the point of the SABMiller acquisition in the first place.

Unfortunately, ABInbev paid a high price for that and only the projected growth in those markets will really ease the economic pain. And we shall see what COVID will do to that!

I’m not sure what lesson is to be learned here: perhaps something about greed or overreach.

Maybe, as Verstl points out, we should ask “the army of bankers, lawyers and PR consultants who stood to gain up to $235 million in fees” from the deal.

The purpose of Planned Development #1-17 (R-HD) is to establish a planned development district with the base zone of Residential High Density that principally allows Plaza 2555 multi-family residential uses, which would serve the following goals: a) Provides for a portion of the city’s housing by providing market-rate and affordable housing units of various sizes and designs near existing mobility infrastructure; b) Satisfies a portion of the City’s need for market-rate and on-site affordable housing units through infill development; c) Stabilizes and protects the residential character of the district and the surrounding area; d) Promotes and ensures that the new residential uses will be in harmony with the existing and surrounding neighborhoods; e) Respects the privacy of adjacent uses and properties through reasonable setbacks, architectural design and general landscaping plan; and f) Encourages alternative modes of transportation and promotes energy and resource conservation.

Planned Development #1-17 establishes the allowed uses, building height, development standards, parking standards, and special conditions. It addresses the intensity of the land uses within the subject site. It also addresses development standards, building height, landscaping, parking, and special conditions. It sets the primary standards for the review of Final Planned Development and Design Review applications yet to be processed for the project. The Planned Development is subject to findings and conditions of approval.
