County closes worst COVID week yet

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Thanksgiving week was not a good one for the COVID-19 situation in Yolo County.

While the impact of holiday gatherings on virus transmission likely won’t be seen in case counts for seven to 10 days, the county entered the week with unprecedented levels of new cases that continued through Saturday, as well as one of the highest test positivity rates in memory.

On Saturday, the county’s online COVID-19 dashboard put the test positivity rate for the seven days between Nov. 14 and Nov. 20 at 18.29 percent, meaning nearly one in five people who were tested for the virus during those seven days tested positive.

Numbers of new cases in the week since have only worsened.

Over the last seven days, the county has reported 605 new cases of the novel coronavirus and hospitalizations have increased from 12 at the beginning of the week to 20 as of Saturday.

By comparison, the county reported a total of 387 cases in all of September and 456 in October.

On Saturday alone, the county reported 109 new cases, including 16 in children and 17 in the 18 to 24 age group.

The city of Davis has reported 33 new cases in just the last two days, four in children 17 and under and 14

UCD clears frat accused of large gathering

Students conduct mass testing for class

BY JULIETTA BISHARYAN Enterprise correspondent With the need for mass COVID-19 testing on campus, UC Davis offers a course in which students can work at the testing kiosks and learn more about the various aspects of the virus.

The two-credit course, titled “Mass Testing for COVID-19,” or EVE 198, is managed by David Coil and led by Professor Jonathan Eisen in the evolution and ecology department in the College of Biological Sciences.

“This course was designed to ‘make lemonade out of lemons’ with the pandemic,” Coil said.

“This helps staff the testing kiosk and gives many students a great CV item and first exposure to a healthcare-adjacent setting.”

Students enrolled in the class are required to work three hours per week at the UC Davis Testing Kiosk. There, they must wear personal protective equipment and do various tasks, such as answering questions, checking people in, controlling the crowd and prepping supplies.

The students are not involved directly in collecting samples and are instead instructed to prioritize safety.

Students may also request alternative options if they cannot do the kiosk activities.

At the end of the quarter, they

will write a short essay on their experience.

The class also holds weekly “town-hall style” guest lectures over Zoom, when experts in the field from around the country are brought in to speak. So far, there have been discussions on lab methods, ethics, social

inequities, coronavirus studies, the UC Davis system and more.

Genetics and genomics major and EVE 198 student Matthew Philipps says that what he looks forward to most is the human interaction at the kiosks and the stimulating conversations held during the Town Hall meetings.

“There is in me a sense of pride and enjoyment that I’m doing something in general to help out in the pandemic effort,” Philipps said.

One challenge Philipps has faced while working is

The future of policing on council agenda

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer

BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer After a UC Davis student who lives at the Theta Chi Fraternity house tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this month, campus authorities said they received reports that the fraternity held a gathering with 10 to 20 people at the fraternity house on Russell Blvd. the same day their member received his test result.

Hands-on experience

More than six months after the death of George Floyd under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer set off nationwide protests about policing in America, the Davis City Council will return this week to the topic of policing and public safety in Davis.

Before the council on Tuesday will be a set of recommendations that includes shifting nonviolent service calls to unarmed personnel, decriminalizing victimless offenses and expanding crisis services for behavioral

health emergencies.

The recommendations come from a joint subcommittee tasked by the City Council back in June with the job of considering changes to the city’s involvement in social services, including mental health services, as well as for improving law enforcement.

The nine-member subcommittee included members of the Human Relations, Police Accountability and Social Services commissions and met throughout the summer and fall.

subcommittee was to bring information to the City Council that the council could then use to inform decisions about what to consider further related to law enforcement, public health and public safety in the community,” the staff report prepared for Tuesday’s meeting noted.

All told, the subcommittee produced nine recommendations, according to city staff.

They include: ■ Determine why racial disparities in arrests, recommended charges and stops exist in Davis.

■ Encourage the Davis Police Department to dialogue with the Police Accountability Commission on the content of its Use of Force policy.

■ Evaluate the impact of deescalation, crisis intervention, procedural justice and implicit bias trainings.

■ Shift nonviolent service calls to unarmed personnel.

■ Reinvent the policecommunity conversation.

■ Deprioritize, decriminalize, and offer restorative remedies for minor, victimless offenses

Briefly CASA seeks holiday donors Tan Orthodontics is hosting its annual Yolo County CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) giving tree for local foster children, and this year 95 wishes hang on the tree. Personalized holiday ornaments are available with a child’s gender, age and requested wish.

The community is invited to stop by Tan Orthodontics, 301 Cleveland St. in Woodland, to take an ornament off the giving tree, and return the requested gift by Wednesday, Dec. 16.

Last year, 104 wishes were fulfilled by Tan patients and staff and the local community.

“Tan Orthodontics is proud to continue to host the CASA giving tree again this holiday season,” said Alan C. Tan, orthodontist. “The immense support this program receives from our patients and community friends is truly amazing — many have made fulfilling these giving tree wishes an annual holiday tradition.

With the large number of ornaments on the tree again this year, we’re counting on the continued generosity found in our local area to brighten the holidays for these children. These gifts bring immense happiness at a very difficult time in their life.”

Tan was a member of the founding board of directors of Yolo County CASA from 1995-2000, and has continued to be a supporter.

Safe from rain and sleet ... but, bears?

E

very now and then, I’ll see one of those incredible stories where someone receives a letter that was mailed 50 years ago and was somehow found and delivered.

This is not one of those stories.

The other day I went to my humble East Davis mailbox and there among the going-out-ofbusiness furniture sales, solicitations from my favorite charity and a presidential plea for dollars to right election wrongs was a weird, see-through envelope.

It was addressed not to me or to my sweetheart, but to our teenage son, who was not actually expecting correspondence of any kind.

The envelope was actually from the post office itself, though the contents inside were not. Let me explain.

Inside the see-through envelope was a badly torn 5-by-8-inch green flyer from his school announcing several upcoming events Put simply, it looked as if someone’s pit bull had gotten a hold of it before it arrived in our humble mailbox.

It had been mailed in Davis seven days prior and the information it

contained would have been pretty much inoperative if it had arrived much later. Obviously, the folks at his school could have walked it over themselves in a much more timely fashion.

Now, I’m not one to bash the Post Office. I still think that being able to send a letter across the country from one specific residential address to another for a 55 cents is easily the best bargain going, including the McDonald’s dollar menu.

But here’s the truly interesting part. Because it was hard to deny that the letter had been badly damaged, the United States Postal Service launched into a detailed, 201-word explanation of just what had happened to this particular letter.

They could have just said, “A

grizzly bear attacked your letter carrier as he was attempting delivery and the letter ended up in pieces. We are sorry for the inconvenience.”

But no, they decided to come forward with a full-bodied defense of the problems they face.

“Dear Postal Customer,” it begins, “The enclosed has been damaged in handling in the Postal Service.”

You think?

“We realize that your mail is important to you and you have every right to expect it to be delivered intact and in good condition.”

J

ust tell us the dog’s name and indicate whether or not he’s had his rabies shots.

“The postal service makes every effort to properly handle the mail entrusted to it but, due to the large volume, occasional damage may occur.”

Fair enough.

“When a Post Office handles in excess of 7 million pieces of mail daily, it is imperative that mechanical methods be used to maintain production and ensure prompt delivery of the mails.”

Are you telling me the Davis

post office handles 7 million pieces of mail a day?

“It is also a fact that modern production methods do not permit personal attention to individual pieces of mail.”

Bring back the good old days.

“Damage can occur if mail is insecurely enveloped or bulky contents are enclosed.”

Neither of which were present here.

“When this occurs and our machinery is jammed, it often causes damage to other mail that was properly prepared.”

So it wasn’t the sender’s fault and it wasn’t the Postal Service’s fault, but it was the fault of some other unknown scofflaw.

“We are constantly striving to improve our processing methods to assure that an occurrence such as the enclosed can be eliminated.

We appreciate your concern over the handling of your mail and sincerely regret the inconvenience you have experienced.”

Thank you. All is forgiven. Our son is recovering nicely from this childhood trauma.

Thief steals, damages Food Bank truck

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer The Grinch paid an early visit to Yolo County last week, stealing a Yolo Food Bank truck while its driver gathered food destined for families in need.

“It was absolutely the wrong thing to happen the day before Thanksgiving,” Joy Cohan, YFB’s director of philanthropic engagement, said of Wednesday’s theft outside the Woodland Costco store.

Although police soon recovered the refrigerated box truck — purchased four years ago following a Davis-based community fundraising effort — by then it had sustained $15,000 worth of damage.

It also contained food boxes already packaged for 150 families that had to be scrapped due to possible contamination.

“It’s a complication no one needs this time of year, especially during a pandemic,” Cohan said.

The truck — named the “Heidi-Renee” after Davis philanthropists Heidi Smith and Renee Dryfoos, who co-organized the 2016 fundraising campaign — was taken at about 6:45 a.m. Wednesday after its driver stopped at Costco for a routine grocery-donation pickup.

As Woodland police began investigating the theft, a Yolo Food Bank employee happened to spot the truck abandoned less than 2 miles away at the Home Depot parking lot on East Main Street around 8:15 a.m. By then, the thief was long gone.

But he or she left significant damage in their wake, including a controller for the truck’s crucial refrigeration unit, which accommodates the transport of perishable foods, that was torn from the dashboard.

So far, two donors have come forward to help offset the repair costs, but more is needed. Others who would like to contribute can do so on Yolo Food Bank’s website, yolofoodbank.org/ donate-covid-19/, or by mailing a check to its offices, 233 Harter Ave., Woodland CA 95776.

Meanwhile, the theft investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Woodland Police Department at 530666-2411.

Despite the setback, Food Bank officials say they’re grateful the truck ultimately was found.

“It’s a very special truck,” Cohan said, noting not only its markings that recognize every donor to the fundraising campaign, but also its unique size that fits into

locations inaccessible to larger delivery trucks. “It’s an integral part of what we do.”

The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic downtown has the Yolo Food Bank serving about 60,000 families countywide each month. In addition to financial donations, it receives food supplies from more than 100 grocers, retailers, farmers and other distributors.

It’s a special skill, stopping the momentum T oday I bring together two stories that, as you begin reading, won’t seem related at all.

The first is brief and dates from my wedding anniversary in September. At that time, I faithfully watched the noon news conferences by Gov. Gavin Newsom. Although I pretended to intellectual and reportorial interest, I may also have mentioned aloud, once or twice, that I thought our governor was nice to look at.

My husband, with wonderful good humor, presented me with an anniversary gift of a 7-inch tall bobblehead of Newsom at the podium, complete with green eyes and grey-flocked hair. I pressed its wiggly head and giggled like a teenager. I loved the gift.

———— The second story is about whitewater.

Rafting or kayaking on whitewater is a potentially dangerous sport that can be made almost as safe as paddling in the bathtub if you follow precautions. These include learning from skilled professionals, wearing a personal flotation device, and choosing rivers that are within your skillset.

You also have to be ready for

changing conditions, moments when no matter how skilled you are, you need to stop the pre-trip momentum and just say no. For example, a river that normally flows at 2,500 cubic feet per second can have dramatic new danger spots if, thanks to unexpected dam releases or sudden rainfall, it reaches 5,000 cfs or more.

Failure to say no in dicey conditions has led to many stories in the boating community, and just last weekend my friend Deb told me hers.

It happened many years ago when her new husband was an intermediate paddler dying to move up to Class 4. Given his eagerness, Deb, who was already highly skilled, planned a trip to the Tuolomne River, a wellknown Class 4, with one other newbie and several experienced kayakers.

The Tuolomne requires a significant investment of time

and effort. You drive at least two hours to get there. You go a day early and camp overnight so that you won’t be boating in the dark by the time you complete the 17-mile run. Once you’re there and geared up for the river, you’re raring to go. Deb said her husband was so excited he was practically bursting out of his life vest.

The river looked a bit high, and they guessed it was running about 1,000 cfs more than the 2,000-2,500 cfs they were used to. But with no special nervousness, they put on the river and started paddling.

Within moments, however, they passed two rafts at a dead stop. The rafters had decided to abort their trip but Deb’s group didn’t want to do that.

Deb says now, “We had experienced boaters, but not all had experience rescuing on Class 4, especially when the water turned out to be double what we normally run, about 5,000 cfs that day.”

“Bottom line,” says Deb, “we shouldn’t have gone.” But they did, due to momentum.

Everyone survived, or I wouldn’t have the heart to tell this story, but it was more trial by fire, involving swimming and terror, than a step up to success.

When friends tell me stories like these, they usually date from long ago. With time, you get smarter about setting a cutoff point, stopping momentum and turning around, especially if you’re the leader of a trip.

———— Which brings me back to our leader, Gov. Newsom.

In his apology for dining shoulder-to-shoulder with about a dozen others at the renowned French Laundry, Newsom said he didn’t know the party would involve so many people.

“As soon as I sat down at the larger table I realized it was a little larger group than I had anticipated and I made a bad mistake,” Newsom said. “Instead of sitting down, I should have stood up and walked back, got in my car and drove back to my house.”

Sounding like my friend Deb, he added, “I shouldn’t have been there; I should have turned back around.”

Yes, that’s right.

Newsom had announced a cutoff point to Californians, (no more than three households together), so when he saw excess people at his friend’s fancy party, he should have turned around.

When people look to you as a leader, three family groups is more important than three

Michelin stars.

Newsom has been in politics long enough to have faced situations like this. In fact, it was not only his pretty face that made me a fan, but his early and persistent message that in the pandemic Californians need to follow new rules. I also admired his concern for the less privileged, particularly homeless Californians. I could see that his heart was in the right place.

It probably still is, although I viewed his apology as lackluster and incomplete. He said the restaurant had outdoor seating, but photos don’t show that. Days later he sent someone else to announce new COVID restrictions, instead of doing it himself.

These are the actions of a politician who is hoping folks won’t listen too closely.

Although I recognize that Newsom’s lapse in leadership and even his hypocrisy don’t approach Trumpian levels, I’m deeply disappointed. Sadly, I have learned something about our governor that can’t be unlearned.

For now, I’ve turned my bobblehead so he’s facing the wall.

DEATH NOTICES John Paul Lejardi Jan. 15, 1922 — Nov. 13, 2020

John Lejardi died on Nov. 13 at the age of 98. Born in Boise, Idaho, to Pedro and Petra, Basque immigrants from Spain, he was the youngest of four children.

During college, he obtained his private pilot’s license and then enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corp during WW II, serving from 1943-1946. After the war, he finished earning his business administration degree from the University of Portland and then obtained his MBA from Stanford University in 1949.

At the Catholic Newman Club on campus, he met the love of his life, Florence, a feisty Italian, who was earning her teaching credential and studying music. In 1952, they married and settled in Los Altos, where they raised three children. John worked as a CPA for his entire career.

John loved the outdoors and taking his family on camping, fly-fishing and skiing trips. The life of the party with a great sense of humor, he enjoyed dancing, singing, hosting barbeques, playing cards and making his signature sherry flips for holidays.

After retirement, he and Florence traveled

extensively throughout Europe, Canada and the U.S. He cherished his role as “Gpa” and had just as much fun as his grandsons, whether camping or taking them trick-or-treating.

John became a most amazing caregiver for Florence in her last years. After she died in 2010, he joined the gym at 88 and worked out regularly until 95. Not one to sit around, he fly fished until he was 92.

In 2015, tired of living alone, he moved into Carlton Senior Living in Davis. He enjoyed the activities, the residents and especially the caring staff, who on occasion danced with him.

Until the end, he enjoyed being the Domino champ, picnicking in the park and savoring desserts and ice cream.

John was devoted to his Catholic faith, family, friends and fly fishing. He was an optimist and always grateful for everything he had in life. As he often said, “I’ve had a good life and a lot of luck in it.”

He is survived by his children, Mark, Jeannette, and Denise, and two grandsons, Christopher and Brenden Sawyer. The family would like to thank the Carlton staff for their outstanding care of John.

Briefly School sets drivethru parade The Woodland Christian School Christmas Parade is planned for 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4, and 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 5 and 6.

The school’s campus is transforming into a Holiday Wonderland with Christmas decorations, lights, free gifts and entertainment.

Families are invited to drive through the school and experience a real, old-fashioned-inperson celebration.

There is no charge.

Silver sponsors The Yolo Yoyo’s will have some attractions near the end of the route (including Santa on Saturday and Sunday).

They will be handing out several free items, including T-shirts, posters, Arby’s coupons, SnowShak IceDilights coupons and toilet paper (really!).

The school is at 1787 Matmor Road in Woodland.

AGENDA: Council will make commission picks From Page A1 through warm-handoff programs, an expansion of the specialty court system, and other measures.

■ Work with county partners to build an integrated, “crisis now”-type model for behavioral health emergencies.

■ Expand the city’s community navigator workforce.

■ Commit to a vision of reimagined public safety.

The joint subcommittee also originally voted to include three structure types as possibilities: new programs within the existing police department; a new department for social services; or a new structure to include police in a larger public safety department.

“However, they reconsidered their original vote and ultimately opted to remove the first structure (new programs within the existing police department)

from the recommendation,” city staff reported. “The concern was that the model of new programs within the existing department was too close to the status quo.”

But the council on Tuesday will consider all three, because, said city staff, “it is customary to provide a full range of options to the City Council.”

“At this stage, the council should determine which of the recommendations it would like to consider further, and direct staff accordingly,” the staff report said.

Also on Tuesday, the council will consider the future makeup of city commissions. New members will be appointed to 12 commissions in all on Tuesday night.

Notable is the Bicycling, Transportation & Street Safety Commission, which in January was forced to cancel meetings due to a

Find some unique holiday items at the Davis Manor Winter Bazaar.

Davis Manor plans craft sale The residents of Davis Manor invite the community to enjoy local artisanal shopping and neighborly holiday cheer at its annual Winter Bazaar.

Neighborhood artisans will showcase a variety of hand-crafted artwork, herbal remedies, and specialty treats at the neighborhood’s fifth annual event next Sunday, Dec. 6, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will be held outdoors on the spacious “Naturehood” street mural at the corner of Duke and M streets. Masks are required and physical distancing will be observed.

Highlighting this year, new large metal works by sculptor Nik Joshi, handcrafted pottery from the studio of Davis Manor artist-inresidence Jen Nachmanoff (jennifer nachmanoffceramics. weebly.com) and Aana Jaana fair trade woolen wares by Himalayan herders, weavers and knitters (aana-jaana. com).

Returning favorites are Cloverleaf Farm jams and salsas, Karolina Wirga’s CocoMo Chocolates, Flowery and Herbal creations by “Flower Mama” Katie Koch, and Michaela Daystar’s Heartscapes herbal tinctures, and succulent pottery by Robin Kozloff. New this year will be upcycled guitar string jewelry by Dave Nachmanoff.

The neighborhood bazaar is an opportunity to shop for holiday gifts from local artisans in a casual open-air setting and a way for neighbors to get to know each other better through sharing interests and skills. The street mural where the bazaar takes place was created in the fall of 2016 with the assistance of a city Community Arts Grant.

In case of rain, the bazaar will be postponed to Sunday, Dec. 13, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

lack of quorum following the resignation of several members and temporary suspension of another.

After additional members were subsequently appointed, the commission returned to its full allotment of seven commissioners and one alternate by spring.

But the terms of four of those commissioners are expiring and the council will be tasked on Tuesday with appointing four regular members and one alternate. Council members have a pool of 13 applicants to choose from, including the four current members seeking reappointment.

The council subcommittee on commissions, comprised of Mayor Gloria Partida and Councilman Dan Carson, is recommending that three of those current commissioners — William Bolte, Timothy Csontos and David Soule — be reappointed, but not

Todd Edelman, who was the commissioner briefly suspended by the council back in January.

That suspension came after three commissioners threatened to resign if the council did not remove Edelman over behavior they described as “prolonging meetings, derailing discussions, failing to yield the floor and not accepting the decisions of the commission.”

Edelman apologized for his behavior and committed to improving and the council declined to remove him. He remained on the commission after those three other commissioners departed but his term expires in December.

Only the Police Accountability Commission received as many applications as the BTSSC during this latest application period.

Other commissions that will have new members appointed Tuesday include

Historical Resources and Management; Human Relations; Natural Resources; Open Space and Habitat; Planning; Senior Citizen; Social Services; Tree; Utilities; and the Unitrans Advisory Committee.

Children’s alliance brings holiday joy to local families

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2020 A5

More than 750 Yolo County families received holiday meals, children’s jackets, blankets, socks and more thanks to the Community Giveaway Day that took place in West Sacramento on Saturday.

The 15th annual event, hosted by the Yolo County Children’s Alliance in partnership with the Yolo Food Bank and Mercy Coalition, served families from West Sacramento and Clarksburg.

But this year, due to the COVID19 pandemic, families didn’t fill an auditorium to select items; instead, social distancing requirements led to a drive-in event, where volunteers filled the cars of participating families.

“We feel extremely fortunate that we were able to continue this event, especially during these trying

times,” said Katie Villegas, executive director of the children’s alliance.

“Now more than ever, the families that YCCA serves need our help, and the support of the community, to make it through this challenging period,” said Villegas.

“The hard work of our staff and partners made this event a success, with another huge Thank You to our amazing sponsors. Year after year, these organizations and individuals donate not only their time, but supplies and direct funding for this essential event.”

This year alone, the Yolo Food Bank donated more than 600 holiday meal kits.

Other donors supplied services, masks, time and funding, including the Washington Unified School District, Sacramento Covered, the City of West Sacramento, Kaiser

The Yolo County Children’s Alliance’s community giveaway event last week provided hundreds of families with everything from holiday meals to winter coats and blankets.

Another drive-in event will be held on Saturday, Dec. 19, this time the annual Holiday Toy Distribution Day for West Sacramento families.

The distribution will be held at the West Sacramento Family Resource Center, located at 1200 Anna St., from 10 a.m. until supplies run out. West Sacramento families will need to bring a proof of residence, and masks will be required at all times throughout the event.

EXPERIENCE: Volume increases as operation continues From Page A1 regarding cleanliness and sanitization as well as giving directions. Some people will eat, drink, chew gum or smoke within a halfhour of their appointment, which can contaminate the test and lead to an inconclusive result.

“The No. 1 situation we are trying to avoid at the kiosk (obviously beyond the continued spread of SARS-CoV-2) is a waste of people’s time, which an inconclusive test result ultimately leads to,” he added.

First-year student and neurobiology, physiology and behavior major Lindsey Nguyen says she first got interested in enrolling in the course after watching the docuseries “Regular Heroes” on Amazon Prime.

The series focuses on how different people in various careers, such as teachers and waste collectors, can help out during the pandemic.

“It’s very interesting being able to work at the kiosk because you see a lot of problems that need to be resolved,” Nguyen said.

Nguyen observed that most of the staff make only around minimum wage and are unable to afford lunch during their full shifts. To help out, she would often go to the

dining commons to bring them some fruit or coffee.

“My favorite thing is meeting the people and getting to know new people. After quarantine and not talking to anyone besides my family, I think getting to be out in the real world again was very nice.”

The testing kiosk began operation on Sept. 14 while the course began at the start of the quarter on Sep. 30. Students, however, did not start working for another week to give them time for training.

There are roughly 65 students enrolled in the course.

“It’s been a successful experience I would say,” Coil said.

As time has passed, the kiosk has begun to test more and more people. Coil estimates they test about 1,500 people per day but predicts that it will be closer to 3,000 soon. Their near-term target is 20,000 samples per week.

The asymptomatic testing has included students who live on campus or in sororities and fraternities off campus, as well as employees of Student Housing and Dining Services, Student Health and Counseling Services, Occupational Health Services, and the campus police and fire departments.

According to the testing

dashboard, there have been 21 asymptomatic positive results.

The testing kiosk was initially held at the Pavilion parking structure but has since been moved to the Activities and Recreation Center since that space has been found to be large enough to accommodate 10,000 people coming through each week and has adequate ventilation to mitigate potential viral risks related to airflow.

Nasal-swab testing has also been switched to saliva-based testing after being validated through the UC Davis Health procedures.

Saliva-based testing uses a quantitative polymerase chain reaction process, borrowed from the agricultural genetics industry, to detect whether someone is actively infected with COVID-19 even if they show no symptoms.

Besides the students enrolled in the course, the testing kiosk is run by 56 staff members and several volunteers. Most of the staff members have been temporarily reassigned from their positions, including those from the Western Institute for Food Safety and Security, Student Housing and Dining Services and the One Health Institute.

UC Davis is also expanding its program to the city of Davis through Healthy

Davis Together to prevent the spread of the virus while facilitating a gradual return to regular city activities and bringing UC Davis students back into the Davis community.

“It’s been amazing to watch the entire campus come together with everyone outside their comfort zone and working at a breakneck pace to make this all happen,” Coil said.

The course will be offered again next quarter.

Tired of turkey? Time for some takeout W

ouldn’t it be nice if there was a fooddelivery service that supported a Davis entrepreneur?

Popular app-based companies like DoorDash, Grubhub and UberEats chew up restaurants’ slim profits. Well, now there is.

Irie Delivery is a Black-owned business that supports AfricanAmerican-owned restaurants in the Sacramento area.

Vance Barker launched the service in July as a side business “to help the restaurant community and provide a gig job for students who need a flexible schedule,” he said. Customers pay a $10 fee.

Barker is a Davis High and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University graduate, and served in the Marine Corps during Desert Storm. He and his wife, Tamara, live in South Davis with their three children. Barker also owns Lower Home Energy,

which helps buildings meet California energy code standards.

Davis resident Priscilla San Souci is an Irie Delivery fan.

“We’ve ordered a few times and loved it. It’s a great way to eat delicious food from across the Causeway without having to drive. It’s also nice to spend local, and have an impact at the same time.”

Restaurants include: Dubplate Kitchen & Jamaican Cuisine, Abyssinia Ethiopian Restaurant, MoMo’s Meat Market (barbecue), Mo’Betta Finger Foods (Southern/soul) and I Love Teriyaki.

Irie also delivers food from food trucks and pop-up style restaurants, including Heavens Gourmet Tacos, KD’s Kentucky Style Barbecue, Big Lovin’s BBQ, DP’s Taste of Heaven BBQ, Flavas with Siren (soul), Freeze Flavorz 916 (soul), Jerk Me Chicken (Jamaican), Saucey Oysters, Consider It Done (Southern) and M.R. Berrie (desserts). He continues to expand the choices.

“The biggest challenge is the distance between Sacramento and Davis, and keeping the food warm. I use specialized heat containers,” Barker said. “Many clients that I have delivered to in Davis have told me that the food has been warm enough to eat right away. (However,) I hope in the future to be able to design something that can keep the food warmer.”

For information, call 800568-4733 or visit https://www. iriedelivery.org/.

———— With dining restrictions back in place across the state, restaurants are struggling as much as ever. To raise awareness this month, the nonprofit California Restaurant Association Foundation launched The Grateful Table Dine Out. While today is the last day of the campaign, the need is ongoing.

The promotion encourages “consumers to ‘dine out to help out’ as much as possible, to give the restaurant community some much-needed hope and stability leading into the holidays,” spokeswoman Chelsea McKinney said.

In addition, the foundation accepts donations to its Restaurants Care program, providing grants to food-service workers facing hardships. Since March, Restaurants Care has awarded grants to nearly 1,200 of California’s restaurant workers, with 79

in the 18-to-24 age group.

All but two of the 33 new cases were in individuals under the age of 65.

Also on Saturday, the state moved more counties into its most restrictive purple tier, including San Francisco and San Mateo counties. Now 51 of the state’s 58 counties are purple.

The state updated COVID-19 data for all counties and Yolo County saw its adjusted daily case rate for the week ending Nov. 22 jump to 28.2 per 100,000 residents, up from 20.9 four days ago. The threshold for the purple tier is less than 7 cases per 100,000 residents.

Yolo County’s adjusted daily case rate is now higher than several neighboring counties, including Sacramento (22.7), Solano (16.6), Napa (14.2) and Lake (11.7) counties.

Even Los Angeles County, which has implemented the strictest stayat-home order in the state, has a lower adjusted case rate than Yolo at 19.4.

the alleged gathering and found no wrongdoing.

“After careful review of the evidence and discussions with all parties, OSSJA determined that the evidence was not sufficient to establish a finding that there was a gathering that included individuals outside the household,” UC Davis News and Media Relations announced Wednesday in a press release.

Ten students live at the Theta Chi Fraternity house, which is across the street from campus and is not managed by the university. Since the start of fall quarter, Greek Life students — along with all on-campus residents — have been screened weekly for COVID-19 with test results typically returned within 48 hours.

After the fraternity member tested positive, UC Davis and Yolo County conducted contact tracing and the county sent all 10 Theta Chi members a quarantine order. At UC Davis’ request, nine students moved into apartments on campus that are designated for quarantine, while one student was

allowed to quarantine at the fraternity house while taking caring of the pets.

“I want to express my appreciation for the Theta Chi students for helping with this investigation,” UC Davis Chancellor Gary S. May said. “I know they feel unfairly targeted, and I apologize on behalf of the university for causing discomfort and embarrassment. I know they also appreciate that the gravity of the public health crisis cannot be overstated.”

Since the start of the quarter, UC Davis has conducted 32,014 COVID-19 tests, according to the campus’ online dashboard, primarily of on-campus residents as well as Greek Life students. Forty-two tests have come back positive — a positivity rate of well under one percent. Campus residence facilities set aside for isolation and quarantine are currently 95% vacant.

“Our students have made great efforts to help keep our cases low, and we continue to need everyone’s participation to make sure the broader community gets through this pandemic with as few cases as possible,” May said.

Hawkins: Embracing the positives

BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor In a normal year, most Football Championship Subdivision football programs would have just finished their seasons. An accomplished group of 24 schools survive to compete for a national crown, a game traditionally conducted early in January.

But 2020 has lived on the COVID clock, and for members of the Big Sky Conference, the season hasn’t even started.

UC Davis just ended its 15-practice fall session on Nov. 21 — and now waits until Jan. 14 for its next team workouts. A sixgame, conference-only season — which still doesn’t have an official schedule written in stone — begins on Feb. 27.

Pretty depressing if you’re a college athlete, huh?

Not so fast, says Aggie head coach Dan

“You do control how you think, what your attitude is and maximize that daily.”

Dan Hawkins Aggie football head coach Hawkins: “Depressing? I don’t think so.”

Heading into his fourth season at the helm of the UCD program, Hawkins believes individuals are the captains of their own ships — and if you’re an Aggie going through the pandemic, there is love, support and football to buoy one’s spirits.

“Most coaches are philosophical, and I’m one of them,” believes the former Aggie fullback of the early 1980s. “We can spend a lot of time in life thinking about the car you

didn’t get, the house you didn’t get, the dog you didn’t get. We can play the victim all we want …

“We can also think about what we do have, and we can embrace that.

“We know (this year) is not normal by any means. It’s sounds corny, it sounds redundant: but you can’t control officials, you can’t control the weather, you can’t control the crowds,” continues Hawkins. “You do control how you think, what your attitude is and maximize that daily. Focus on what you do have and not what you don’t have.”

Hawkins reports that Aggie practices have been brisk and meaningful. The coach says the first half of fall camp was used to get players up to speed. The second half was rewarding as players got into game-day

D is for defense The Bronco Invite ride kept getting better for men

Failure is sweetener for victory

n basketball, they call it the sixth man. This is the guy who comes off the bench at a crucial juncture in the game and gives his sagging teammates some extra energy, frequently igniting the crowd as well.

Even in women’s basketball this person tends to be called the sixth “man,” just as “man-to-man” defense is pretty much a universal description no matter the gender of the participants.

Sometimes the sixth man is so good at his or her craft that he or she moves into the starting five and rarely plays the sparkplug role off the bench anymore.

Others seem to permanently thrive as a sixth man and relish their role.

All of this came to mind the other day after Tiger Woods shot a 10 on the 12th hole in the final round of The Masters, his worst score ever on a single hole in his professional career.

Smacking a ball into Rae’s Creek three times will do that to your scorecard.

What, you may ask, do Tiger Woods and a sixth man in basketball have in common? Let me explain.

After all was said and done and someone else was awarded the Masters title that Woods won last year, Tiger had this to say.

“This sport is awfully lonely sometimes,” he began.

“You have to fight it. No one is going to bring you off the mound or call in a sub. You have to fight through it. That’s what makes this game so unique and so difficult mentally.”

Tiger is half-right and half-wrong. In sports like golf and tennis and neighborhood hide-and-seek, you are indeed out there by yourself with no relief coming your way. In the Olympic marathon, no one is going to finish the race for you when your lungs catch fire and your heart starts beating out of your chest.

But in sports like football, basketball, baseball, soccer, ice hockey and

OK, that was weird. No fans, no Aggie Band, socially distanced interviews that just as well might have been conducted from Mars ...

And yet, there it was. Finally. A college basketball game being played at The Pavilion on Wednesday.

For the record, the UC Davis women beat visiting San Francisco, 82-75.

Despite all the peculiarities, it was comforting to hear longtime public-address voice of the Aggies Bob Kerr welcome “everyone” to the game.

Aggie sophomore guard Cameron Ba (30) knifes between defenders to score a basket during UC Davis’ 66-63 loss to host Santa Clara on Friday in the Bronco Invitational. On Saturday, UCD beat Idaho State, 70-61. Ba came off the bench for 28 points in the three-game event.

It just kept getting better.

After opening the Bronco Invitational with an uneven 101-93 loss to Nicholls State on Wednesday, the UC Davis men on Friday took event host Santa Clara to the bitter end before losing again, 66-63.

Then, with Ezra Manjon canning a game-high 23 points on Saturday, the Aggies broke through — using a 15-0 second-half run to prevail, 70-61, over Idaho State.

“We started Wednesday and we were UC Avis — no D,” reports UCD head coach Jim Les. “(After Saturday’s win), the staff said to the team, ‘This is Aggie basketball.’

“We were tough defensively. We contested passes, we contested shots. There was an aggressiveness to us on (the defensive end) of the floor, and when you play that way … the ball finds its way into the hoop, defense puts you in a place to be successful.”

The 6-4 guard from Arizona scored 18 points, but he was dormant late in the game as the swarming Davis defense forced him to miss his last four shots.

Meanwhile, the Aggies were surging ...

When Cool hit a 3-pointer with 16:28 remaining, Idaho State was in control, 38-29.

But like the UCD coach believes, defense can change a game in an instant.

Within the next 3 minutes, Caleb Fuller nailed back-to-back treys to start the 15-0 binge. Then Kennedy Koehler scored on an old-fashioned 3-point play and, just like that, things were tied at 38-38.

When Cameron Ba collected a hard-fought rebound, his outlet pass found a streaking Elijah Pepper for a layin and Davis never trailed again.

Ba found himself in an emerging role in the first three contests.

ENTERPRISE PHOTO

NFL served up a lackluster Thanksgiving H ope everyone had a happy and safe Thanksgiving.

Let’s get started ...

■ San Jose State football is 4-0. Cal is 0-3. Yup, it’s 2020.

■ Most years, the NFL Turkey Day tripleheader has top-drawer matchups. This was not one of those years. The first two games involved four teams with losing records. Then COVID forced postponement of BaltimorePittsburgh first to today, then to Tuesday.

■ Don’t expect Seattle head coach Pete Carroll to exchange Christmas cards with the NFL schedule-makers this year.

Five of the eight Seahawks road games were/are at Atlanta, Miami, Buffalo, Philadelphia and

Washington. The Hawks are 2-1 thus far on their East Coast Time Zone Tour and are at Philly Monday night.

■ Two phrases completely and totally overused by football playby-play people, analysts also: “You’ve gotta be kiddin’ me!” following a big gain (and usually bellowed at 747 takeoff volume) and “Coach (name goes here) really dialed up that play.” Uh, yeah, give me 67 toss, triple X, banger, banger on 3.

■ Why is it that a lost fumble is classified as a turnover? Same with an interception. So why isn’t losing the ball on downs scored the same way? All three involve a change of possession.

■ Twenty-one college football

games have been canceled or postponed this week due to COVID19. For the season, the total is more than 90.

■ Nebraska QB Luke McCaffrey is the son of Ed and Lisa McCaffrey. Ed played 13 NFL seasons with Denver and San Francisco and was on three Super Bowl championship teams. Lisa was a standout volleyball player at Stanford. Ed McCaffrey is head coach

at Northern Colorado, but has yet to appear in his first game due to the pandemic.

(Oh, did we mention Luke’s brother has some hops, too? He’s RB Christian McCaffrey of the Carolina Panthers.)

■ Can anybody beat Alabama?

■ If you like baseball biographies, you’ll want to read “Tom Seaver, A Terrific Life” by New York author Bill Madden. Both Seaver and Madden are enshrined in Cooperstown, the former for his 20-year, 311-win pitching career; the latter in the writers’ wing as a Daily News baseball writer and columnist.

■ The reason some NFL kickers last into their 40s is because college football isn’t producing

enough quality, long-range kickers. Plus, not all college staffs have coaches who specialize in the kicking game.

■ Joe Davidson worked at The Enterprise from 1984 to 87. He’s been with The Sacramento Bee since 1988. His story this past Thursday on Davis High grad and longtime football coach Paul Wulff and his search for answers as to how his mother was murdered is an outstanding read that’s worthy of your time. Wulff currently is offensive-line coach at Cal Poly.

■ Only four men have caught 500-plus career passes for the Packers: James Lofton, Sterling Sharpe, Donald Driver and Jordy

HAWKINS: Victor or victim DUNNING: Don’t fret From Page B1 swing and improved mightily.

Practicing in NCAA-protocol pods of 25 players, almost 90 of the 102-member Aggie roster were at some time or another on the field earlier this month. Sure, the smaller groups meant some coaches spent six hours a day on the field, but Hawkins knows everyone is in this together.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that every player on our team got exponentially better in the 15 days we worked this fall,” he believes, adding the intensity of practices and the supersonic rate of improvement wouldn’t have happened during a regular routine leading into a normal season.

Hawkins says playing football during the pandemic was viewed as a privilege and opportunity.

So, knowing a vaccine is on its way, that by delaying most FCS play the division was playing to the side of caution, could it be that the muchinterrupted FBS pulled the trigger on playing too soon?

“I don’t necessarily think so …” says Hawkins who, after a long pause, continued: “Everybody’s got a different take on this thing. Mine is like it always is — in the middle.

“People have to work through it; figure this thing out. You know pro sports and college sports, people in general, are figuring this thing out.

“Everyone knew there would be some bumps along the road … and there probably will be for everybody,” the coach went on.

“But I just don’t know if you can stop life for an entire year. We have to have some sort of a middle ground where we look at science and look at

the data and say ‘What is safe, what are the protocols we can follow (to be safe).’ ” Hawkins says he thinks the NCAAaffiliated football programs are doing their best. “We’ve seen some games canceled, we’ve seen games go through. It’s a tough balancing act.

“To answer the question, I don’t think (FBS started too soon).”

Hawkins talked about the global crises of the last hundred years — world wars, The Great Depression, a previous pandemic — then focused on the current COVID outbreak: “People have endured things as hard or harder, and for longer. While that doesn’t make today any easier, it does provide perspective …

“Hey, look. You’re still getting a degree from UC Davis. You’re still playing Division I football, you’re still in a culture that loves you, supports you and helps to develop you.

“Our guys get that, our parents get that,” says a proud coach. “We were thankful to get out there for 15 days and play football.”

“A lot of people want to play the victim. We can just as easily play the victor.”

Notes: Either because of the COVID-19 threat or the two 2021 seasons being too close together, several Aggies chose to opt out of playing in 2021, reports Hawkins. ... The Big Sky will have open dates on March 20 and April 17. It will play with 12 members since Sacramento State announced on Oct. 15 that it won’t play this season.

From Page B1 backyard volleyball, you can be unceremoniously yanked at a moment’s notice if your performance falls off.

When I was growing up and baseball was king, the starting pitcher was expected to still be on the mound with two outs in the ninth inning unless something had gone terribly wrong.

Folks like Bob Feller, Sandy Koufax, Warren Spahn, Robin Roberts and Bob Gibson didn’t call on others to clean up their dirty work.

Today a complete game is as rare as a 19-cent hamburger.

Feller led the majors in 1946 with 36 complete games. In 2009, Tim Lincecum led the National League with four complete games.

I remember a time when I was in my first year of Babe Ruth League baseball as a 13-year-old playing for the Medlock Dusters.

The score was tied, 4-4, going into bottom of the seventh-and-final inning on the old Aggie baseball diamond adjacent to Toomey Field.

I was the first batter up and drew a walk on a close 3-and-2 pitch because I was too afraid to swing. Successive balks moved me all the way to third, still with no outs.

It was then that Milt Silva, our legendary coach who later became a lifelong friend,

decided to put in a pinch runner for me, given that my foot speed was not exactly world class.

Milt figured we’d need at least a double that rolled all the way to the leftfield fence to score me from third and he didn’t want to take a chance with the game on the line.

“No problem, Bobby,” he said with the kindness of a father. “You just seem a little slow today.”

Truth be known, I was a little slow every day.

A wild pitch scored the winning run and we all went down to Foster’s Freeze to celebrate, my ego still intact given that I had accounted for the first three bases of that winning run.

Still, Tiger Woods is right.

Golf can be a lonely game with no coach on the sideline ready to call time out or insert a substitute when your strokes begin to falter.

I’ve seen it many times in tennis, too, and also the mile run, when the air goes out of your balloon and the win that seemed likely becomes virtually impossible.

Your option, of course, is to not compete at all and thus never risk failure.

But that, as any true athlete knows, is unthinkable, for you can never truly enjoy the thrill of victory if you’ve never experienced the agony of defeat.

Nelson. The list should swell to five tonight as Davante Adams stands at 499 and counting.

But equally fitting could have been Rod Serling telling the empty house, “Submitted for your approval ... A basketball game at which no one is in attendance.”

And thanks to a radio broadcast clitch, no one could listen, either.

Nonetheless, from a safety standpoint, everything came up aces in Aggieville.

Before entering the facility, staff and media were interviewed about their recent whereabouts and, if needed, temperature checked. Everyone wore a mask, except when in the game. Both teams were serious about maintaining their social bubbles and reported healthy at game time.

Asked if pleased with the first “real” game under pandemic protocols, UCD Director of Athletics Kevin Blue had this to say:

■ For this season only, the NCAA has lifted won-lost restrictions on teams going to bowl games. Not all conferences have, however. In the Pac-12, a team must be .500 or better. You have the possibility elsewhere of a “name” program having an off-year, finishing 1-6 and being invited to a bowl game.

■ Column co-conspirator Chuck Hayes has this question: With the Colorado-USC game canceled last Thursday, who pays for the L.A. hotel rooms the Buffs had reserved for Friday and obviously never used? Best guess? Pac-12 office.

■ Note to 49ers: During Sean McVay’s tenure as Rams head coach, L.A. is 32-0 when leading at halftime. Naturally, McVay would just as soon you didn’t remind him. “Don’t jinx us,” he pleaded with media leading up to the longtime Golden State foes meeting this afternoon.

“It was really fun just to see our team compete.”

Jennifer Gross UCD women’s head coach “Yes. (I am) appreciative of our operations and sports medicine staffs for their tireless and detail-oriented work in making it happen.”

The style of play was its usual entertaining self and a handful of players from both teams hinted of breakout seasons to come.

But it wasn’t the same. No real people, and try as they might, the cutouts on the main floor could barely be heard. The nether-reaches on the concourse were reserved for photographers and scribes.

“It was really fun just to see our team compete,” explained UCD head coach Jennifer

Gross. “Obviously, it feels good to get the win, but it was definitely not what you’re used to (without fans).”

There was the crackle and hum piped throughout The Pavilion, designed to simulate fans. It didn’t work.

Gross said afterwards that her Aggies weren’t really buoyed by the artificial crowd.

“You get a couple of stops, you get a couple of scores, you hit a big shot ... all of a sudden that usually creates energy for you. I thought (Wednesday), a couple of times we had a big shot and we kind of just moseyed back on defense.

“We have to get better creating energy for ourselves all the time. And I think that’s something we’re really capable of.

We have a high-energy group, but that was different.”

Going forward, dodging the curve balls of the virus will be weekly challenges. Already Simpson (slated for Saturday) and Santa Clara (a mid-week

foe) have canceled their games with Davis.

Gross told The Enterprise that William Jessup will be a last-minute Tuesday opponent, but contracts haven’t been signed.

“There were a couple of hiccups with that first home game, but those should iron themselves out going forward,” said UCD Athletics Communications Director Eric Bankston, who added he was happy with the online attendance of the postgame Zoom interviews.

Even if the media in attendance, during those interviews, were stationed more than 200 feet away from the coaches and players to whom they were talking.

It’s basketball, pandemic style. Get used to it. At least it’s the same talented Aggie women on the court.

Identity politics vs. the melting pot

Vaccine needs trust to work T

he jousting over Gov. Gavin Newsom’s appointment of a U.S. senator to succeed Vice President-elect Kamala Harris is fast becoming the epitome — or nadir — of identity politics.

BY LLEWELLYN KING Special to The Enterprise

T

here is a trust deficit in this country, and it may kill a lot of us.

We haven’t been trusting for a long time, but distrust reached its zenith during and after the recent election. The election, still contested, brought with it a massive overhang of distrust. Indeed, the past four years have been marked by wide distrust.

Distrusting the election results isn’t fatal.

But distrusting the experts on the need to get vaccinated for COVID-19 is. Yet there are reports that as many as 50 percent of Americans won’t get the vaccine when it is available. That is lethal and a true threat to national security, the economy, our way of life, everything.

If we don’t get our jabs, we will continue to die from coronavirus at an alarming rate.

More than 258,000 Americans have perished and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention projects 298,000 deaths by mid-December.

As I recall, it was during the 1960s that we began wide distrusting. By the end of the Vietnam War, we distrusted on a huge scale. We distrusted what we were told by the military, what we were told by President Lyndon Johnson and then by President Richard Nixon.

We also distrusted the experts. Just about all experts on all subjects, from nuclear power safety to the environmental impact of the Concorde supersonic passenger jet.

Beyond Vietnam, distrust was fed by the unfolding evidence that we had been the victims of systemic lying. This led to big social realignments, as seen in the civil rights movement, the women’s movement, and the environmental movement. These betrayals exacerbated our natural American distrust of officialdom.

Now the trust deficit is back.

If LBJ and Nixon fueled distrust in the 1960s and early 1970s, the current breach of trust belongs to President Donald Trump and his enablers scattered across the body politic, from presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway with her “alternative facts” to the Senate Republicans and their disinclination to check the president, even verbally.

The trust deficit has divided us. Seventythree million did vote for Trump and many of those believe what, most dangerously, he has said about the pandemic.

It’s a mindset in which the personalities, talents, character and accomplishments of individual human beings are secondary to being defined by their race, ethnicity, gender, age or sexual identification — and are expected to automatically reflect the values and mores of their designated categories.

Inevitably, then, politics become a competition among identity groups for power and distribution of public goods — a modern version of tribalism that succeeds the earlier vision of America as a melting pot that blends immigrant cultures into a unique society.

Oddly, ordinary Americans increasingly resist such categorization. We intermarry, we happily live in integrated neighborhoods, we have and adopt children of mixed ethnicity, we send our children to integrated schools and we embrace food and music from disparate cultures.

That’s especially true in California, the most ethnically

and culturally complex of the 50 states.

Harris herself is both a product of the melting pot vision — her mother migrated from India, her father from Jamaica and they met as students at the University of California — and of the politics of identity.

Depending on the audience and the moment, she identified herself as Black or IndoAmerican, but she also married a white man who is Jewish.

Not surprisingly, therefore, Newsom is feeling pressure from identity groups to choose a new senator from within their ranks, each saying Newsom “must” pay homage with an appointment.

Willie Brown, the former Assembly speaker and San Francisco mayor who was also Newsom’s political mentor, is leading a public drive for a Black woman to succeed Harris, who is also a former

Brown protégé.

San Francisco Mayor London Breed, still another Brown protégé, is on his list, along with Reps. Karen Bass of Los Angeles and Barbara Lee of Oakland.

The LGBTQ Victory Fund is another group publicly pushing Newsom to make history by appointing the nation’s first openly nonheterosexual senator.

Several women’s organizations are demanding that Newsom replace Harris with another woman.

Finally, Latino groups are pressing Newsom to honor the state’s largest ethnic group by appointing California’s first Latino senator.

A

sked about his intentions during a briefing on COVID-19 this week, Newsom said he doesn’t have a self-imposed deadline, “But progress has been made in terms of getting closer to that determination.”

The odds-on favorite among political handicappers is that Newsom will appoint a Latino, possibly Secretary of State Alex Padilla, who has a lengthy and close relationship with the governor.

As the cynics — or realists — see the situation, Newsom has already given a nod to

Black and LGBTQ groups by naming Martin Jenkins to a seat on the state Supreme Court. He could placate one of the other groups by naming a successor to Padilla in the secretary of state’s office.

The same dynamics would apply if he chose another Latino, Attorney General Xavier Becerra, for the Senate.

While the competition for Newsom’s senatorial appointment typifies identity politics, it also demonstrates their unfortunate aspect of ignoring what should be the most important factor. We should have someone in the Senate of good character and demonstrated competence and who approaches the position with an independent mind, as the state’s other senator, Dianne Feinstein, has done.

It should not matter which identity group wins the competition. It should matter that whomever Newsom chooses will be seen as representing every Californian, not just one faction of the state’s 40 million residents.

he result has been the growth of diabolical myths about COVID-19. Taking seriously some, or all, of Trump’s outpourings on the coronavirus — from his advocacy of sunlight and his off-label drug recommendations, like hydroxychloroquine, to putting the pandemic out of mind as a “hoax” — fomented its spread.

We have been waiting for a medical breakthrough to repel and conquer COVID-19 and it looks as though that is at hand with the arrival of not one but three vaccines, the first of which should be available in about three weeks to the most vulnerable populations. The development of these vaccines represents a stupendous medical effort: the Manhattan Project of medicine.

But it will all be in vain if Americans don’t trust the authorities and don’t get vaccinated. It looks as though, according to surveys, 50 percent of the population will get vaccinated. The rest will choose to believe in medical fictions like herd immunity.

My informal survey of research doctors puts the odds on who will get vaccinated a little better than 50 percent. They conclude that one third will get vaccinated, one third will wait to see the results among those who got vaccinated early, and one third won’t get vaccinated, believing that the disease has been hyped and that it isn’t as serious as the often-castigated media says.

Some of the “COVID-19 deniers” will be the permanent anti-vaxxers, people who think that vaccines have bad side effects; they believe, for example, that the MMR vaccine causes autism.

Without near-universal vaccination, the coronavirus will be around for years. The superhuman effort to get a vaccine will have been partially in vain. The silver bullet will be tarnished.

Get a grip, America. Get your jabs.

LETTERS Roads and bike path repairs I just read the city of Davis has approved a 10-year plan to repair the city’s roads and bike paths. That’s great.

Much of the money to fund the plan has apparently been cobbled together by reallocating city resources (“robbing the Peter fund to pay the Paul one,” if you will). Nowhere, though, did I read of any money coming from UCD or Unitrans to help pay for this long-needed overhaul.

Many riders using the bike paths are UCD students/employees and much of the road repairs are due to countless Unitrans busses traversing the streets. Yes, UCD students and employees help pay a portion of city expenses through sales taxes. But considering the benefits of these travel ways to UCD and Unitrans as organizations, shouldn’t they also contribute something towards the huge costs of these repairs? I’m just asking.

come-from-behind run, Team Red has somehow lost control of the ball 5 yards short of a touchdown. Out comes Team Blue’s offensive line up. The media conglomerate will block. The heavyweights, Facebook, Twitter and Google will hold the line. Fourth and 95.

Biden fades back into the protected pocket. He hurls an impossible, long bomb... The fans blink. The Jumbtron flickers and goes blank for an instant ... then ... It’s caught in the end zone!

Team Red fans groan in disbelief. The announcers proclaim over their loudest speakers, “Team Blue is the winner!”

Team Blue fans go wild. The players do back flips and pop champagne. Cameras highlight their every move.

But there is a flag on the play.

In their euphoria, Team Blue fans do not see the flag. The announcers, hungry for a home-team victory, avert their eyes and cameras. The Jumbo Tron operators cut away from all images of the flag being thrown and delete them.

Nevertheless, the flag remains.

Officials huddle with coaches from both teams. Feverishly, they review the footage. But the tapes are fuzzy and unclear. This will take a while...

Meanwhile, the announcers, impatient for the win, amp their microphones and their disparagement of all things Red.

Speak out President Hon. Donald J. Trump, The White House, Washington, D.C., 20500; 202-456-1111 (comments), 202-456-1414 (switchboard); email: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact

Vociferously, they defend their call of the game, parroting each other’s wishful thinking as settled fact. Dizzy from their own spinning, unable to focus, they declare that since they have not seen the footage, there IS no footage, and the win most certainly goes to Team Blue.

Team Red fans protest and roar with rage. The Team Blue band mobs the field, marching to their most riotous tune, smashing all other voices. Team Blue fans wag massive foam fingers and chant, “Shame, shame!”

But all the protesting and the roaring, the marching and the smashing, the finger-wagging and the chanting change nothing. Though we may wish it were otherwise ... ... there is a flag on the play.

The big race, with Sue Williams I

am glad that Sue Williams finally agreed to be interviewed. We have talked in the mornings when walking the north Davis Greenbelt and our schedules happened to intersect. We had short conversations and I wanted more time to get to know her. Let’s find out more about Sue.

track and field and cross country.

I feel like it all came full circle.

Addressing sexism in athletics is what brought me to UCD for more opportunities and in 1991, and ultimately I became head coach for men as well as women.

What have you done after retirement to keep busy?

Robin: Where were you born? I am curious about your accent.

Sue: I was born in a hospital in Dallas. However, we lived in Greenwood, Ark., and that was my home until I came to Davis in 1972. I have lived in Davis for 48 years!

Tell us about your family in Arkansas.

I have two brothers and lots of other relatives. As a child, I lived with my grandparents on-andoff beginning when I was 3, out of mutual affection. I have a large happy family with lots of cousins. We define family as anyone related to you down to second cousin. This made it a little more difficult to move to Northern California for a job.

Let’s hear about how you came to Davis in 1972 to be on the UC Davis faculty and coach women’s track.

At the time, I was teaching and coaching the women’s tennis team at the University of Arkansas. I was ready to grow professionally and was more interested in track. As luck would have it, there was a large recruitment fair in Dallas, which Dr. Dean Ryan from UCD attended. He was very impressive and offered me an opportunity to move to Davis to be on tenured faculty track in coaching as part of the teaching assignment in coaching.

I was glad to relocate to UCD at this time, although I would

miss my family. Northern California was the “hot spot” for women’s running, unlike Arkansas and most of the country, where women’s sports was an afterthought. It was clear to me that the offer from UC Davis would provide a better future professionally for me. At that time, sexism was a problem in women’s sports.

Title IX was passed in 1972 to “prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender in any federally funded education program or activity.” I was lucky to be in Northern California during the time the time this law was implemented and to be part of that growth. I was mentored by pioneers in women’s sports and was involved in serious athletics for the first time.

Let’s find out more about your husband and sons.

Keith and I were married in the summer of 1977. I always say that we “met on the track” at UCD. Keith was a graduate student assistant coach of men’s track. I was coaching women’s track. After he finished his master’s degree in biomechanics, he wanted to earn a Ph.D. in the topic.

It seems that Penn State was the right program for Keith. I went with him to Penn State so that he could finish his Ph.D. in BioMechanics there. During this time, I taught classes at Penn State. This led him into research and design of athletic shoes, primarily running shoes.

We have two sons, Seth and Casey. They are both academics in higher education, at Barnard

I retired from the university in 2008. I work on my fitness and overall health. I also got back into riding horses again. I grew up riding and I really enjoy it. I bought a horse and keep it in Davis. We also have a second horse. We take them with us when we go to our second home near Truckee.

What do you like most about living in Davis?

ROBIN AFFRIME/COURTESY PHOTO

Sue Williams was a coaching pioneer at UC Davis. and Princeton. One of Casey’s claims to fame is that he married Beth Lew, also a professor at Princeton. Beth also grew up in Davis and is the daughter of Marion Franck and Bob Lew. Marion is an Enterprise columnist. I have two grandchildren.

Casey and Beth have two young sons.

Let’s learn more about your time in Davis.

After Keith finished his Ph.D., we returned to Davis and UCD. I returned as head coach for women at UCD track and field and cross country. I always enjoyed coaching It was fascinating and rewarding working with college-age kids. A coach’s job goes far beyond the training. We need to be able to coach the inner person and to help them

see the athlete and competitor that they can be.

All coaching is personal. UCD runners appreciate competition.

It makes them better. I also reinforced appreciation of the many volunteers who helped to operate the track meets. In those years, it took 42 volunteers to run each track-and-field meet and 25 volunteers to run each crosscountry meet. I expected each athlete to thank the volunteers before they could get on the bus to go home. But primarily, I wanted UCD runners to treasure their teammates and to love races.

I appreciated the opportunity to not only remain head coach for women’s track and field, but to also be able to combine the distance runners to become head coach of women’s and men’s

I love UCD. What has kept me all these years is the kind of student who comes here and I had the opportunity to coach. They are tough, they are athletic and they are strong competitors. I also appreciate the sense of community in Davis.

We know so many people and they are interesting, particularly because this is a university town.

Their successes are humbling.

Neighbors and co-workers become life-long friends. Davis is a place where you can do that.

What a treat to interview Sue. She is passionate and articulate about coaching and is an interesting neighbor. I learned more about coaching, cross country and her exceptional family.

Thank you Sue for your time and for your overall excellence in coaching, for 36 years, the long distance runners at UCD. — Robin Affrime is a longtime resident of Davis and a recently retired health care executive.

Tonight once more I find a single prayer and it is not for men — W. S. Merwin ———— December is upon us once again, and not just any December, this is December 2020, the pandemic December, and this holiday season, this winter will be different than any we have known.

I wish some better advice for you, but I am a poet, and I face most things in life with poetry.

We do still have the poetry of the beauty of night trees, of the stark sound of crows kept awake by a full moon.

Let’s keep a prayer for beauty as we can find it, and if Merwin’s one prayer was for beauty alone and not for mankind, I can promise you that mine will be for both.
