Sisson backs elementary reopening Urges caution on return to high-school sports
The COVID-19 Statewide Agriculture and Farmworker Education Program is designed to help California’s 800,000 farmworkers stay safe during the pandemic.
By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer Gov. Gavin Newsom this week promised revised plans as soon as Friday on returning elementary school students to the classroom and possibly expanding the number of high school sports that can resume competition. But school districts and county SISSON health officers will County health continue have a officer large say on how things proceed locally. At Tuesday’s Yolo County Board of Supervisors meeting, Health Officer Dr. Aimee Sisson weighed in on both a return to the classroom and resumption of high school sports. Her verdict: students from transitional kindergarten through sixth grade can safely return to school now; junior high and high school

UCD aims to help farmworkers By Diane Nelson Special to The Enterprise California’s 800,000 farmworkers have been hit hard by COVID-19, the disease that has infected more than 25 million people and killed more than 420,000 in the United States. Farmworkers are especially vulnerable to the airborne virus that causes COVID-19 because they often live, work and carpool in close quarters with other people. As essential employees, farmworkers have stayed on the job during the pandemic to plant, process and harvest the nation’s food. Agricultural safety experts and communicators at UC
Davis have launched the COVID-19 Statewide Agriculture and Farmworker Education Program to reverse that trend. Funded by a $3 million contract with the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency, the project provides workers, growers, farm labor contractors, community groups and others the training and safety information they need to reduce farmworkers’ risk of contracting COVID-19. The COVID-19 project is led by experts at the UC Davis Western Center for Agricultural Health and Safety, who are collaborating with the UC
Davis College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Communications Team, a network of community-based organizations, and agricultural industry groups. “Our team will work directly with community organizations who are trusted by farmworkers and have already been assisting them throughout this COVID crisis,” said Heather Riden, program director at the Western Center for Agricultural Health and Safety. “Our goal is to amplify their efforts and help them build capacity as they continue to provide critical COVID safety information to their communities.”
By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer Some of Yolo County’s poorest families with young children will receive a hand up and out of poverty through a universal basic income pilot project approved by the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday. The 31 families in the CalWORKS Housing Support Program who have children under the age of 2 will receive monthly payments for a year, up to a maximum of $12,155. That cash assistance, combined with the CalWORKS grant they already receive to
help with housing and other costs, would bring these families’ incomes above California’s minimum poverty threshold ($25,658 for a family of four), according to Nolan Sullivan of the Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency. The CalWORKS Housing Support Program provides a state grant to assist families who are homeless or about to be homeless. “Those kids are in the deepest poverty, the most at risk, the most needing of our help across the county,” Sullivan told the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday.

Yolo County, he said, has the third highest poverty rate in the state, behind only Los Angeles and Santa Barbara counties, and the children that will be aided by the universal basic income program “are some of the hardest hit in Yolo County.” The 31 families include five in Davis, he said. Covering the cost of the $400,000 pilot project will be several different sources, including $100,000 from the county’s cannabis tax revenue; $100,000 from First 5 Yolo; and $75,000 from the state’s Office of Child Abuse Prevention.
The program will be especially active in areas of high agricultural employment, such

Fundraising would bring in the remaining $125,000 needed. Yolo County’s supervisors were unanimously in support, but several expressed interest in expanding the pilot project from one year to two, if additional funding can be secured, and possibly expanding to families with older children. “One year, by the time you get started and finished, you’ve hardly had a chance to make anything happen that you can measure or assess,” said Supervisor Don Saylor of Davis. “I

Briefly Fire damages Davis home The Davis Fire Department is investigating the cause of a Tuesday morning blaze that damaged a home on Eagle Place in North Davis. Fire officials reported in a social media post that a resident was home when the fire broke out around 11:30 a.m. but escaped safely before calling 911. Crews arrived to find the first floor on fire but doused the flames before they spread to the second floor. Arson is not suspected to be a factor in the incident, officials said.

GOP stays loyal to Trump over country
I
f nothing else, the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump proves once again, in the most devastating way, just how hopelessly divided our country remains. As the House managers presented emotional, gut-wrenching testimony, backed up by indisputable video and audio evidence, a number of Republican senators yawned as if there was nothing to see here. One disrespectfully put his feet up on the furniture and others rudely left the chamber altogether. Had the defendant in this trial been anyone other than Donald Trump, the vote to convict would have been overwhelming. Unfortunately, with our country continuing on its partisan path, this trial, despite the compelling evidence presented, will not end with a conviction. However, though a guilty verdict may have been the ultimate goal, failure to achieve it does not mean this trial was a failure. Before the trial began, I was of the opinion that a “Not Guilty” verdict would be empowering to Donald Trump and to those supporters of his who caused such death and destruction at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. I was wrong. After watching every minute of this trial over the past few days, I am now convinced that the evidence presented, whether or not it caused the Senate to clear the high bar needed for a conviction, was
devastating to the future of Donald Trump and to those traitors who were willing to kill police officers in his name. As video after video relentlessly portrayed, the hoodlums and thugs and misguided miscreants who invaded the Capitol that day had no respect for law and order or for the belief that Blue Lives Matter. The police were mocked, maimed, beaten, pepper sprayed and yes, brutally murdered. All in an attempt to overturn an election that didn’t go the way the mob wanted. One officer lost three fingers. One lost an eye. Another lost his life. When these traitors were done with their desecration, the President of the United States told them “Go Home. We love you. You’re very special.” Although a conviction was never in the cards no matter the evidence, California Representative Ted Lieu starkly described what was at stake. Said Lieu, “You know, I’m not
afraid of Donald Trump running again in four years. I’m afraid he’s going to run again and lose, because he can do this again.” For me, though, the most chilling part of the three-day presentation was how Donald Trump created a very real threat to the life of Vice President Mike Pence and how he responded once he knew the crowd was demanding “Hang Mike Pence.” Instead of telling the mob to cease the violence and leave the Capitol, Trump poured gasoline on the fire by tweeting, “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution.” One of the insurrectionists immediately got on a bullhorn and repeated that very tweet to the murderous mob, which erected a noose outside the Capitol in response. Very simply, Mike Pence, a loyal Trump soldier if there ever was one, is lucky to be alive today. s everyone knows by now, in an impeachment trial it takes two-thirds of Senators voting to convict. If all 100 Senators vote, 50 Democrats would need 17 Republicans to join them. After so much compelling evidence was presented, optimism rose among Democrats that they might somehow reach that seemingly impossible threshold. Like it or not, it’s simply not

Rite Aid has testing, vaccines By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff write Free COVID-19 testing is now available at the South Davis Rite Aid and both Rite Aids in Davis will begin providing vaccinations as soon as Friday. Rite Aid has been offering drive-through testing, including in Woodland, as part of a partnership with the federal government since the fall. Now the testing has been expanded to all drive-through locations, including the Rite Aid at 2135 Cowell Blvd. Testing is by appointment only and available Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. To schedule a time slot for testing, pre-register online at https://www.rite aid.com. The drive-through testing is also available at the Rite Aid at 295 W. Main St. in Woodland. Those between the ages of 4 and 17 may be tested with a parent or legal
guardian consent. Additionally, a parent or legal guardian must be present and bring their photo ID to the testing appointment with the minor. Many other options are also available for COVID19 testing in Davis and elsewhere in Yolo County. Healthy Davis Together offers free saliva-based tests to anyone who lives or works in Davis at three locations — the Davis Senior Center, the Veterans Memorial Center and Mondavi Center. Appointments are required and can be made at https://healthydavistogether.org. Additional testing options can be found at https:// www.yolocounty.org/ health-human-services/ adults/communicabledisease-investigation-andcontrol/novel-coronavirus -2019/coronavirus-testing/. ———— Meanwhile, both Rite Aids in Davis will be offering vaccines beginning as soon as Friday. Through a partnership with the federal government,
both CVS and Rite Aid will begin offering COVID-19 vaccinations across the country. That includes four pharmacies in Yolo County: a CVS in Woodland and Rite Aids in Davis and West Sacramento. The CVS will have the capacity to administer 20 shots per day while each of the Rite Aids will have the capacity to administer 100 per day, Yolo County Health Officer Dr. Aimee Sisson said. However, she said, “that’s their capacity; that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll get that number of doses. But that would be helpful.” Those doses do not come out of the county’s allocation, but a separate federal allocation, Sisson said, “so that’s additional doses that will be coming in to the community through CVS and Rite Aid.” — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@ davisenterprise.net.

Yolo DA’s Citizens Academy goes virtual Special to The Enterprise Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig recently announced that the annual District Attorney Citizens Academy will be held virtually this year. The academy is sponsored by the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office in cooperation with the Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office, California Highway Patrol, Yolo County Probation Department, and the UC Davis, Woodland, Winters and West Sacramento police departments. The Citizen’s Academy is an eight-week journey designed to involve diverse communities in participating in mutual learning about the criminal justice
system. The goal is to educate the public and improve relationships and communication between the many different communities in Yolo County and the criminal justice system. Topics this year will include: the role of the district attorney, the role of law enforcement, victim services, gangs, restorative justice practices and collaborative courts addressing mental illness and addiction, and breaking barriers addressing the schools-to-prison pipeline. In past years, participants have toured the county jail and observed K-9 officer presentations. “The academy provides a comprehensive look at the criminal justice system in
Yolo County. Together we will explore how the system interplays with our communities from West Sacramento to the rural areas,” Reisig said. “I think participants will be educated, enlightened and entertained.” The academy will meet 6 to 8:30 p.m. Thursdays nights from from April 15 to June 3. Class space is limited, and applicants must be at least 18 years old and a resident of Yolo County. To enroll, contact Wendy Wilcox at wendy.wilcox@ yolocounty.org or 530-6668356 by the April 3 application deadline. For more information, visit www.yoloda.org.

going to happen. Evidence be damned, when all is said and done, the votes for conviction will not be there. Yes, there will be a handful of Republicans who will commit the mortal sin of crossing Donald Trump, but it won’t be nearly enough. Romney, Sasse, Murkowski and Collins are likely. Toomey and perhaps Cassidy might come along. Even old reliable Mitch McConnell could possibly and shockingly join that small group, but he won’t be able to strong-arm others to come along with him as he so capably could in previous days. Donald Trump can crow all he wants about being found “Not Guilty,” but what many Americans will remember is the horrific violence he fomented on Jan. 6 by his nonstop lies about an election being stolen. In the end, history will record the plain and indisputable fact that a significant majority of United States Senators voted to convict Donald Trump of “High Crimes and Misdemeanors by inciting violence against the Government of the United States.” The facts have been presented for every American to understand. What we all choose to do with those facts remains to be seen. On Honest Abe’s birthday, the Party of Lincoln has a lot of explaining to do. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net
Man, 74, accused of stabbing assault By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer One man was hospitalized and another arrested Tuesday following a reported stabbing in Davis’ Cannery neighborhood, according to police. Lt. Art Camacho said officers were summoned at about 4:10 p.m. to an apartment in the 2900 block of Austin Street, where an argument had broken out between two men who live inside the residence. “The argument turned physical, and one of the males attacked the other one,” Camacho said. The suspect “threatened the victim and injured him with a knife.” Emergency personnel
arrived to find the victim, who is in his early 20s, with stab wounds to his back and hands, Camacho said. He was transported to the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento for treatment. Detectives arrested the suspect, identified as 74-year-old William Thomas Bostock of Davis, on charges of assault with a deadly weapon following an interview at the Davis police station, Camacho said. He was booked into the Yolo County Jail. The motive for the incident remains under investigation, said Camacho, who declined to specify the nature of the relationship between the two men.
Sheriff’s deputies nab Davis theft suspect By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer The discovery of a wayward vehicle this week led to a parolee’s arrest in connection with a Davis theft, according to the Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office. In a Facebook post Wednesday, sheriff ’s officials said deputies were dispatched at about 10:15 a.m. Monday to check on a man who had parked his disabled vehicle on a bike path near Russell Boulevard and County Road 98. The driver, identified as Fairfield resident Joseph Welding, 27, had walked
away from the scene but was contacted in the area of Road 98 and Hutchison Drive. “As deputies examined the scene they were able to connect Welding to an unreported theft from a vehicle that was parked on Adams Street in Davis,” the Facebook post said. “The victim responded and took possession of her property.” Welding, on parole for a prior offense, was arrested and booked into the Yolo County Jail on suspicion of grand theft, possession of burglary tools and violation of parole, officials said.

Learn the right way to prune and train fruit trees at a free Zoom workshop with Master Gardener Steve Radosevich from 7 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 17.
Fruit-tree pruning workshop set Special to The Enterprise
Gardener program.
Winters Friends of the Library is hosting a free workshop on fruit-tree pruning from 7 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 17. The workshop will be led by Steve Radosevich, Yolo County UC Cooperative Extension Master Gardner, who has taught a variety of fruit-tree related workshops for the last 15 years. He is also interested in landscape trees and volunteers with the Woodland Tree Foundation, which has planted more than 5,000 trees in the last 20 years. He also teaches composting and worm composting classes for the Master
The workshop will cover how proper training and pruning of deciduous fruit trees during the winter dormant season directs new growth, helps create a desired tree structure, and encourages spring fruit set. This Zoom workshop is the first in a new series, “WFoL Wednesdays,” which will feature different virtual workshops on the third Wednesday of each month. Look for more information and a link to join the workshop at www.wfol.org. WFoL is canceling its annual bare-root tree sale this year due to the pandemic.

University Obituaries unveils new strawberries By Diane Nelson Special to The Enterprise Red, ripe strawberries are the hallmark of spring in California. Two new varieties from the Public Strawberry Breeding Program at UC Davis will provide consumers with big, flavorful strawberries throughout fall and winter, too. “These cultivars were developed to provide high-quality fruit from late summer through the holidays,” said Professor Steve Knapp, director of the UC Davis Strawberry Breeding Program. The new varieties — UCD Finn and UCD Mojo — are “extreme day neutral,” which means they were bred for summer planting, especially in coastal climates from Santa Maria south. They were developed to replace Portola, the only other UC variety that is planted in the summer and harvested in the fall and winter. Portola is popular with farmers for its high yield, but some consumers say the variety lacks flavor. “Finn and Mojo are sweeter than Portola without any drop-off in yield because so much of the fruit is large and marketable throughout the harvest season,” said Glenn Cole, breeder and field manager with the UC Davis Strawberry Breeding Program. Since its inception in the 1930s, the UC Davis Strawberry Breeding Program has developed more than 60 patented varieties, turned strawberries into a yearround crop and increased strawberry yield from about 6 tons per acre in the 1950s to more than 30. — UC Davis news

Leigh Ann Simmons, a professor and chair in the Department of Human Ecology and co-director of the Perinatal Origins of Disparities Center, has received a $3 million award to build and strengthen communitybased health and social supports systems in Yolo County to address adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress. ACEs can include experiences such as witnessing violence in the home or community, abuse or neglect. Research has shown that ACEs and toxic stress in childhood can have lifelong negative consequences on health and well-being. Some of the health consequences include higher rates of chronic disease, shorter life span, homelessness, unemployment and behavioral health problems. “This award will enable Yolo County to build a truly responsive and integrated network of care,” said Simmons. “It will move people seamlessly from screening for ACEs and other social determinants of health to receiving buffering supports and services designed to promote their well-being and build resilience.” The POD Center will be working with six key collaborators on the project, all of which are dedicated to creating a connected, trauma-informed community for Yolo County residents: CommuniCare Health Centers, Winters Healthcare Foundation,
Joan Barker Lopez April 2, 1946 — Jan. 28, 2021
Joan Barker Lopez passed away peacefully on Jan. 28 after many years of battling Parkinson’s disease. Joan was born and raised in Winters, California to James and Mildred Barker. She was an outstanding student and involved in athletics, band, 4-H and many other activities. She married John Lopez in 1963 and moved to Davis to live out her entire life. She devoted herself to raising their two children, Lori and Jonathan, but went back to school to fill the days once they were in school and found her passion for nursing. She worked at Sutter Davis Hospital for the majority of her career and then spent the last few years at Sutter Medical Center Sacramento. Joan managed the Sutter Davis emergency room for many years where she helped many community members through difficult times and led the design of the emergency room space in the new hospital. Along with her devotion to her work, she was also a fixture at her children’s and then grandchildren’s activities. Many of these allowed her to combine
her love of sports and theater with travel, taking her to every corner of California, Hawaii, Illinois, South Dakota, Oregon, Utah, Arizona and Oklahoma to name a few. Always one for an adventure, Joan traveled to many parts of the world whenever she had the opportunity and returned several times to Spain and England to visit her and John’s families. She is survived by her husband John of 58 years; children Lori Bloomfield (Tony) and Jonathan Lopez (Debbie); six grandchildren Brittany Sadoma (David), Lindsey Day (Quinten), KC Lopez (Lici), Brett Bloomfield, Kelli Lopez and Jake Lopez; two great-children Sophie and Leo Day; her sister Jill James (Lyle), in-laws Maria Lopez and Joe Lopez (Wendy) and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Due to COVID-19, no service is planned at this time. The family suggests that memorial contributions be made to Sutter Davis Hospital Foundation, P.O.

Leigh Ann Simmons. First 5 Yolo, Yolo County Children’s Alliance, Resilient Yolo and Unite Us. The UC Davis grant is one of 35 awarded by the State of California Department of Health Care Services in partnership with the Office of the California Surgeon General. The ACEs Aware grants, which totaled $30.8 million, are part of an ambitious goal to strengthen the capacity of health care providers across California to screen, treat and heal patients with ACEs. California Surgeon General Nadine Burke Harris, a graduate of the UC Davis School of Medicine, is a nationally recognized expert on the health impacts of childhood trauma. In announcing the awards, Burke Harris said: “The science is clear: without intervention, Adverse Childhood Experiences and the resulting toxic stress response can lead to lasting negative mental and physical health outcomes.” The 18-month grant to UC Davis will allow the team to build and strengthen a robust network of care to respond to
ACEs and toxic stress with community-based health and social support that meet the needs of children, adults and families. In addition to buffering the negative effects of ACEs on children, the researchers hope to prevent intergenerational transmission among affected families. “As part of our sustainability plan, we will establish care pathways and shared data resources that our team can use. This will allow us to contribute to the emerging evidence on effective community responses to ACEs and ensure that we are meeting the needs of Yolo County,” said Simmons. The POD Center is one of four IMPACT centers launched in 2019 with funding from the Office of Research. These multidisciplinary research centers were designed to align campus strengths with unique opportunities for global impact. “I am very pleased that the POD Center, along with the partner affiliates, has been selected by the state and the surgeon general to address Adverse Childhood Events and toxic stress,” said Prasant Mohapatra, vice chancellor for research at UC Davis. “With this grant, researchers and health providers can leverage their collective strengths to serve the needs of our community and create positive health outcomes for the future.” — UC Davis Office of Research

John Wray Steggall Sr. Aug. 31, 1934 — Jan. 8, 2021
John Wray Steggall Sr. died at home of natural causes at the age of 86 under the care of his devoted wife Gratia, eldest son John Jr., grandson Patrick and caregiver Claudette. Anyone who knew John, whether encountering him for the first time or the hundredth time, enjoyed his good-natured sense of humor. John was born on Aug. 31, 1934, in Kansas City, Mo. He was the first child of Howard Bate Steggall and Helen Hurd Mitchell. His sister Elizabeth joined the family a few years later. John spent his childhood in Pittsburg, Pa., and Birmingham, Mich., where he attended Cranbrook School. After earning a mechanical engineering degree at Yale University in 1956, he flew planes as a lieutenant for the Navy while stationed in Pensacola, Fla., where he met his wife, Gratia Brown. He later earned an MBA from Kent State in 1971. John worked as a mechanical engineer for his entire career with Detroit Diesel and Terex, a division of General Motors, where he designed diesel engines for earth moving equipment. John ran track and played ice hockey at Cranbrook and Yale and continued to play in hockey leagues until he was 78. When not watching hockey on TV, John could be found at the gym or riding 30-60 miles with various cycling clubs. He was an avid fan of classical music and Shakespeare. John
enjoyed singing in Yale’s Glee Club and in church choirs. He also enjoyed teasing and wrestling with his grandkids and taking them on ski trips. John and Gratia were married in 1957 and moved to Washington D.C. to establish a family. John Jr. was born in 1958 in Bethesda, Md. After moving to Birmingham, Mich., their family expanded again in 1960 with the birth of their second son, James Howard. The family later moved to Chagrin Falls, Ohio, where the boys attended high school. After retiring, John and Gratia moved to Tucson, Ariz., finally settling in Davis in 2011. John Sr. reveled in raising his sons. He coached them in sports, canoed rivers in the mid-West and Canada with them, played countless hours of catch and sat patiently at swim meets. He organized many family cross-country camping trips to expose his sons to the wonders of U.S. and Canadian national parks and historic monuments. Throughout their marriage of 63 years, John and Gratia traveled the world and kept fit by biking, skiing, golfing and playing tennis. John is survived by his sister Elizabeth, wife Gratia, sons John Jr. and Jim, grandchildren Patrick, Erik, Haley, Nathaniel and Helen and great-granddaughter Elin. John was interred at the Veterans’ Cemetery in Dixon in a private military-honors ceremony.

Mars rover has perseverance
Pets of the week
By Vinita Domier Special to The Enterprise
N
ASA’s 2020 Perseverance Mars Rover is scheduled to arrive at Mars on Thursday, Feb. 18, after traversing 300 million miles in nearly 7 months since its launch on July 30 last year. After entering the Red Planet’s orbit, the robust car-sized rover is scheduled to land inside Mars’ Jezero Crater around 12:55 p.m. Perseverance is one of three unprecedented international missions to rendezvous with Mars within days of each other. The Perseverance rover is equipped with a suite of sophisticated scientific instruments and cameras onboard to accomplish its four main objectives: look for habitability; seek biosignatures; cache samples; and prepare for humans. It is designed to explore the planet for at least one Mars year which is equivalent to 687 Earth-days. The rover will “search for signs of habitable conditions on Mars in the ancient past and for signs of past microbial life itself.” The 28-mile wide Jezero site was selected in November 2018 as the landing site because clay minerals deposits were detected in the fan-shaped delta within the crater indicating the presence of an ancient lake that could potentially harbor signs of ancient Martian life. Perseverance rover’s special drill will collect core samples of rocks and soils that will be sealed in tubes and cached on Mars for future robotic or human missions to bring back to Earth for future analysis. The rover’s instruments will also test oxygen production from the Martian atmosphere. Besides the main astrobiology focus of this

Explorit Science Center mission, NASA is also planning to test the first powered flight on Mars. The rover is carrying a small light-weight autonomous helicopter, named Ingenuity, that weighs only 4 pounds and has large 4-feet rotors to let it fly in the very thin Martian air that is only 1% of Earth’s thickness. Before Perseverance rover can embark on its astrobiology mission on Mars’ surface, the spacecraft bearing it must safely execute entry, descent and landing maneuvers to bring it from12,500 miles per hour to a standstill. During the “seven minutes of terror,” the rover will be protected by a heat shield during its rapid descent into the Martian atmosphere, slowed down by deploying a parachute, and finally gently lowered wheelsdown by a “sky-crane.” The other two missions have arrived in orbit around Mars: United Arab Emirates’ Amal (Hope) orbiter arrived on Feb. 9 on a 2-year mission to remotely study Mars’
weather and atmosphere; and China’s Tianwen-1 (Quest for Heavenly Truth) orbiter/lander/ rover arrived on Feb. 10 to remotely conduct a global survey of Mars and land a rover in May or June for a three-month planet exploration. The Thursday, Feb. 18, coverage of the NASA Perseverance entering Mars orbit and subsequent landing will be broadcast live on NASA TV and livestreamed at https:// www.nasa.gov/nasalive and on NASA YouTube and Facebook starting at 11:15 a.m. with the landing scheduled at 12:55 p.m. This will be proceeded by an educational program for students of all ages starting at 9:30 a.m. and followed by post-landing briefing starting at 2:30 p.m. More details about the NASA’s Mars Perseverance mission are available at https://mars.nasa.gov/ mars2020/ and https:// www.nasa.gov/perseverance.

New water bear sculpture fronts the Bohart By Kathy Keatley-Garvey Special to The Enterprise You can’t miss it. And it’s perfect for a “bear hug.” A newly installed water bear, or tardigrade, sculpture at the Bohart Museum of Entomology at UC Davis promises not only to be a cuddly campus landmark but it may be the world’s only sculpture of its kind. The huge sculpture, in front of the Academic Surge Building on Crocker Lane, anchors the entrance to the Bohart Museum, which houses one of the world’s largest tardigrade collections. “I’m not aware of any other statue of a water bear anywhere,” said Lynn Kimsey, director of the Bohart Museum and a UC Davis professor of entomology. A crew installed the concrete sculpture, the work of artist Solomon Bassoff of Faducci LLC, North San Juan, at 7 a.m. Feb. 3 in a half-hour project. It weighs 2,112 pounds and measures 6 feet long and nearly 3 feet high. In real life, the water bear is microscopic. The adults usually range from 0.3 to 0.5 mm in length. “I was so excited to see it on the truck,” said Kimsey, who launched the project via a GoFundMe account two years ago. “Looking at pictures is one thing but the real thing was awesome and it’s really fun to see it in front of the building. The whole business only took about half an hour. They had to first move two concrete garbage containers, which probably weigh 1,000 pounds each. “The installation is complete except for signage,” she said. “We’ll be putting up a plaque explaining what it is and major donors. It stands to get even more over the next three years.” Bassoff, who creates sculptures in concrete, steel

It was fun and amazing to learn more about this amazing creature.” The Bohart Museum’s tardigrade collection includes some 25,000 slidemounted specimens. “The water bear is one of the most peculiar and indestructible groups of animals known,” Kimsey said. “The microscopic and nearly indestructible tardigrade can survive being heated to 304 degrees Fahrenheit or being chilled for days at -328 F. And, even if it’s frozen for 30 years, it
can still reproduce.” They belong to their own phylum, the Tardigrada (meaning “slow steppers”), with more than 1,500 described species. “Tardigrades can survive high pressures of more than 1,200 atmospheres found in the bottom of the abyss,” Kimsey said. “They can tolerate 1,000 times more ionizing radiation than other animals.” The barrel-shaped creature with eight pudgy legs inspired German zoologist Johann August Ephraim Goeze (1731-1793) to describe them as “kleiner Wasserbär,” or “little water bears.” Tardigrades are easiest to find on lichens and mosses,
Kimsey says, but they can also be found on beaches, in the subtidal zone, freshwater sediments, soil, hot springs and even on barnacles. They’ve been found “high in the Himalayas to down in the deep sea and even in the interior of Antarctica.” They mostly feed on plants or bacteria “but some are predators on smaller tardigrades,” Kimsey related. “They use the stylets in their tubular mouth (snout) to pierce “individual plant or bacterial ells or small invertebrates.” “Tardigrades are awesome,” she said. “They can dry out completely and then become immortal. In fact, SpaceIL may have left thousands of dried tardigrades on the moon when it crashed (in 2019).” Why is the water bear so indestructible? In research published in 2016, geneticist Takekazu Kunieda and his colleagues from the University of Tokyo found that it expresses a tardigrade-specific protein that binds itself to DNA. This acts like a “shield against x-ray radiation, preventing the DNA from snapping apart,” according to an article published in Gizmodo. Kimsey credited former Bohart Museum scientist Bob Schuster with launching and compiling the current tardigrade collection. The Bohart is now gearing up for more specimens. Kimsey is part of a threeyear, $256,849 National Science Foundation research grant, “Cross Departmental Development of an Automated Species Identification System for the Phylum Tardigrada Found on Birds,” awarded to her and five faculty members from Baker University in Baldwin City, Kansas. All tardigrades collected by Baker University’s faculty and students will find a new home in the Bohart Museum.
Scout Among is them is Scout (A185229), a 6-year-old white-andgray female shorthair cat who can be shy at first, but once she settles in, she is a precious sweetheart. She loves to get chin scratches and is a total lap cat. She would do well by herself or with other cats. Also hoping for a good home is Kiki (A185599), a 9-year-old shorthair tabby who lost her family due to a divorce, rehomed with a second family whose three dogs chased her daily, then she was turned out as barn cat — which she failed at miserably because she is a lap cat who needs to find a permanent home.

ELEMENTARY: Purple tier allows for low-risk competition From Page A1 students must wait; and high school athletics that involve close contact continue to pose significant health risks. On the latter topic, Sisson noted that youth sports are “an aspect of children’s lives important for both their physical health and mental health.” “I think where it becomes a little more challenging,” she said, “is … really the high school-level athletes. And that’s where we do see increased risks. “While they’re still children,” said Sisson, “in terms of disease spread, they’re a lot more like adults. So I think that’s why the state is moving with caution in terms of resuming athletic competitions.” Locally, Sisson said she’s seen evidence supporting that caution, particularly at UC Davis, where the athletes aren’t much older than high school students. “Many of their athletes have contracted COVID, not necessarily through their athletic activities, but they are seeing many instances of long COVID, where many of their previously elite athletes have ongoing symptoms and have not been able to return to their previous level of fitness months after their initial infection,” Sisson said. “So I do think as we’re looking
at high school students, that we do need to be concerned about the ramifications of infection in that group. We can’t just say, ‘They’re just kids, they’ll be fine.’ We do see that young adults can have significant consequences from a bout with COVID.” Under the state’s current guidelines, last revised in January, high school sports are tied to the tier the county is in. Schools in the purple tier — where Yolo County is — are allowed to have competition between two teams but only in outdoor, low-risk, low-contact settings. “So things like cross country or skiing,” said Sisson. Once a county moves to the red tier, outdoor moderate-contact sports are permitted by the state to resume, including baseball, field hockey and softball. Not until the orange tier can high-contact sports like basketball, football, soccer and water polo resume, and then only outdoors. Moving to the orange tier — a place Yolo County has never entered — would require an adjusted daily case rate of less than 4 and a test positivity rate below 5 percent. Meanwhile, high-contact sports that could resume indoors in the yellow tier include basketball, wrestling and water polo. But moving to the yellow tier
requires an adjusted daily case rate of less than one and a test positivity rate below 2 percent — numbers Yolo County hasn’t seen since the first month of the pandemic nearly a year ago. In any tier, outdoor distance drills and conditioning are allowed. But the state is reviewing its high school sports guidance and may well revise it again under heavy pressure from athletes, parents and coaches, many of whom have organized under the ‘Let Them Play’ banner, which argues the pandemic, and subsequent suspension of sports competition, has adversely affected the physical and mental health of youths.
Other effects Sisson said Tuesday she “absolutely” agrees that the physical and mental health of children has been compromised “because of the measures put in place for COVID protections. “But I do think, especially with older high school-level athletes, that we do need to be very cautious.” As for returning students to the classroom for in-person instruction, Sisson noted that Yolo County’s adjusted case rate is below 25 per 100,000, “which makes K-6 schools eligible for
reopening for in-person instruction.” “There are many reasons to get our kids back in school,” Sisson said. “One is the learning loss that’s occurring as they are doing distance learning.” Additionally, she said, there are “the mental health benefits.” “Getting kids back in school, we’ve seen reduced anxiety and depression. So I would argue that our focus in the short term should be getting … the youngest kids back in the classroom.” Junior highs and high schools cannot reopen for in-person instruction until a county has been in the red tier for five days, Sisson noted, “so that is not yet an option.” “But for our youngest students, transitional kindergarten through sixth grade, those schools can reopen for in-person instruction and they can do so safely.” Speaking to the Yolo Health Council on Thursday, Sisson said there is extensive data from California, other areas of the United States as well as internationally that when a layered approach to reopening schools is used, “particularly elementary schools where risks are different because cohorting is easier and also younger students are less likely to transmit as well as less likely to become infected with coronavirus,” schools
can safely reopen. “There’s also been schools open throughout the surge with very minimal in-school transmission and they’ve done so without having their staff vaccinated,” said Sisson. “I think this starts to get very political, but the science and data show that elementary schools can safely reopen in the context of high case rates, even without vaccinated staff.” How and when to reopen classrooms is up to individual school districts and the Davis Joint Unified School District has adopted a pathway for reopening that requires, among other protective measures, the opportunity for teachers to be vaccinated. Vaccines remain in short supply, however, and Yolo County is currently only vaccinating individuals 65 and over. Teachers and other school staff will be among the essential workers that become eligible in the next group. Newsom said Wednesday that his administration is working with the Legislature on a $6.6 billion package that could be unveiled as early as Friday, aimed at ensuring elementary schools can reopen, though it remained unclear how vaccinations would play into that. — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@davisenter prise.net.

encourage us to look at a two-year window if we can.” Supervisor Jim Provenza of Davis said, “if we can get the money to make it up to age five and (extend the pilot for another year), that would be great.” Evaluation of the pilot project will include measuring parents’ education and career attainment during the pilot as well as the physical and mental health of parents and children. “We have a couple of UC Davis instructors that are very interested in maybe providing the evaluation tools for this,” Sullivan said. Other organizations are also interested in evaluating the program as well, he added.
Universal basic income — also known as UBI — essentially provides individuals with a monthly cash payment without a work requirement or strings attached. Former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang (now a candidate for New York mayor) touted UBI during his 2020 campaign. But small jurisdictions have also implemented UBI in different forms, including the city of Stockton. The Stockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration began in early 2019, providing about 130 residents making less than the city’s median income with $500 a month with no strings attached. University researchers who evaluated the program found that nearly 40 percent of tracked spending
went to food, but the money also covered transportation, utilities, healthcare, debt and more. Meanwhile, the city of Compton is home to Compton Pledge, which is providing around 800 residents with between $300 and $600 per month with no strings attached. No public funds are being used in that program; rather private donors are financing the program. In implementing its own program, Yolo County will be on the cutting edge, said Nolan. “We’re not the first ones through the door, but maybe third of fourth.” — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@ davisenterprise.net.

TRANSIT: Yolobus gets needed help From Page A1 commonly known as “budget reconciliation.” The budget plans come against the backdrop of the financial crisis created by the pandemic. “American cities are facing significant budget shortfalls due to the pandemic,” Garamendi said. “Congress needs to provide the necessary funds for cities and local governments to prevent essential systems from collapsing.” The bill is expected to be passed by the United States House of Representatives soon. It provides new federal funding for state, county and municipal transportation agencies across the country, supporting essential services like public busing, airports and commuter rail service. Specifically, the budget plan approved by the committee provides new and continued funding for the local transportation infrastructure, including $830,150 for Davis, $399,935 for Woodland, and $117,799,667 for Sacramento, along with $27,104,027 in statewide funding. It also includes $47,713,005 to support the Sacramento International Airport and $192,813,293 to support the San

Francisco International Airport. According to Garamendi’s press release, the budget includes more than $6 million in new funding for local transportation projects. “California counties, cities and towns will use this new funding to transport essential workers and frontline health care workers, and bolster and maintain essential transportation services throughout the pandemic,” Garamendi said. “I’m pleased that this critical funding has passed the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and I will urge its swift adoption in the House and Senate.” In Yolo County, the new funding will be used to cover fare revenue shortfalls for Yolobus that resulted from the pandemic, to fix Yolobus route and paratransit operating and capital costs associated with the redesign and reinstatement of transit services that were cut during the pandemic, and to increase peak hour service frequency of the main Yolobus intercity route. — Reach Caleb Hampton at champton@davisenterprise.net.

Art exhibit highlights farms and fields Special to The Enterprise Drawing on travels abroad and locally, artist Margaret Eldred explores farming in all of its phases with paintings, photographs, drawings and photographs in “THE GOOD EARTH: Farms and Fields from California to Cape Town” at YoloArts Gallery 625 in Woodland. Eldred is a Davis resident and a retired lecturer from UC Davis, where she earned a Ph.D. in English. She studied art at Sacramento City College in the classes of Chris Daubert, Frank Zamora and Gioia Fonda. Described by YoloArts creative director, Janice Purnell, as “kind of like a visual travelogue,” the exhibit has six thematic sections: date orchards, nut orchards, olive orchards, row crops, rice and field crops, accompanied by paintings and penand-ink drawings for each theme. “I aim to do two things in my paintings — I strive to celebrate modern agriculture in all its nuances from planting and irrigating to harvesting and preparing for market and I enjoy playing around with color. You can see how my palette has changed from a focus on primary colors — red, blue, and yellow — in

Eldred’s artwork uses a vibrant color palette to represent farming — from planting, irrigating, harvesting and processing — in many cultures. Accompanying Eldred’s paintings, photographs and drawings are recollections of her experiences
with the men and women who work in the fields around the globe, producing the world’s food. “Margaret’s personal accounts and observations on farming add layers of meaning to her art,” Purnell said. “She also helps us understand farming practices in Yolo County by comparing them to those in other lands.” A virtual tour of the exhibition and artist talk
will take place at noon Monday, Feb. 15, on Facebook and Instagram (handle: YoloArtsCA). Eldred will lead the tour and talk about her work.

Valentine’s open house continues through Sunday Special to The Enterprise
Pence Gallery
ast year in February, the Pence had our first Valentine’s-themed open house, “Hearts for the Arts.” We had refreshments, art activities, music and even face painting, and it was all offered for free to visitors to welcome and encourage membership to the Pence. This year, the Pence began a week’s worth of activities for “Hearts for the Arts” on Feb. 9.
Several of the events are virtual and still accessible via the Pence Gallery channel on YouTube. We have a free scavenger hunt through downtown Davis, a free craft kit to go for members ($5 for nonmembers), a special cardmaking craft video and history of Valentine’s Day, and a weekend of special discounts on all gift shop merchandise. For current or new members, we are offering 15% off all gifts

through Sunday, Feb. 14, and nonmembers will receive 10% off as well from Friday to Sunday, Feb. 12 to 14, to encourage some gift-giving to celebrate friends and family. During the past 12 months, the Pence has adapted its colors, chameleon-like, to include more virtual exhibits, workshops and talks that are low-cost or free. We have started a children’s after-school class, with full scholarships available, and continued to provide a safe space for individuals to benefit from the healing power of the arts during this challenging time. Downtown has changed in character over the last year. Thus, we have tried to offer some continuity in the midst of so much uncertainty. I encourage you to go online at www.pencegallery.org to join the Pence as a member, to embark on many more opportunities to learn about, create and share the arts. ———— In our galleries, the Pence is unveiling two new shows this month.

In addition to creating colorful cityscapes and abstracted views, Rubio shares his interest in creating a sense of space through geometric patterning. Rubio has captured a series of whimsical cars in “Yellow Stingray,” “Orange Peugeot” and “Green Van.” Simply distinguished by their intense focus on color, these small-scale paintings are portraits of man’s obsession with the automobile. Equally charming are his

‘In & Of Itself’ a marvelous sleight-of-film This unusual stage performance is jaw-dropping By Derrick Bang Enterprise film critic Director Frank Oz (“Little Shop of Horrors,” “The Score,” etc.) helms this sorta-kinda documentary about conceptual magician Derek DelGaudio, and his one-man stage performance. “Documentary” isn’t quite accurate, and I’m frankly not sure how to label this whatever-it-is. It’s part filmed stage production, part performance art, part social commentary, part confessional memoir, part head trip, and — oh, absolutely — part magic act. But however we designate it, this is a must-see experience. (Actually, “experience” is an apt descriptor.) Oz also directed DelGaudio’s theater show, which debuted in Los Angeles in May 2016, then moved to an off-Broadway opening that sold out the 150-seat Daryl Roth Theater every night of its initial 10-week run. When the dust finally settled, “In & Of Itself ” had run 72 weeks and 560 performances. And left the public begging for more: an artistic void happily filled by this film. At its core, DelGaudio’s performance revolves around identity. The film opens as, pre-show, each audience member selects one card — from the hundreds

(“I am a geologist.” “I am an opponent.” “I am a drag queen.” “I am a grandfather.” “I am a drummer.” “I am a master of the universe.” And so forth.) Oz, who’d never before directed a stage show, is perfectly suited to this material. He is, after all, an identity illusionist himself, having become famous for transforming inanimate constructs into fully fleshed characters such as Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and Yoda. DelGaudio, in turn, is a master raconteur, in the sense of it being an ancient and noble art. He speaks solemnly, earnestly, his expressive hands amplifying a word or syllable. The audience, rapt, hangs onto every word. Early on, he recounts the parable of the six blind men who, bumping into different portions of an elephant they’ve never before encountered, separately come to wildly different conclusions. It’s a snake, says the man who feels its trunk; No, it’s four trees, say the next, who has bumped into its large round legs. The metaphor is intentional because DelGaudio’s show is an

What Derek DelGaudio eventually does with that brick, is simply astonishing. elephant of sorts, divided into half-a-dozen segments represented by compartments on the wall behind him. One looks like a dead letter drop, stuffed with envelopes. Another features the clay bust of a wolf, a deck of cards clutched in its mouth. One appears to be a window being shattered by a brick. (Keep an eye on that brick.) One contains an automaton that periodically continues its game of Russian roulette, the unsettling clicks occasionally punctuating DelGaudio’s words and deeds. His narrative weaves in and out of his own childhood, with brief observations about the career that followed; the memories occasionally reveal painfully
intimate details (such as what leads to the brick in the window). The actual magic is sparse but stunning, the dramatic build-up to certain tricks as mesmerizing as the legerdemain itself. His sleight-of-hand skill with that deck of cards is breathtaking. The card stuff and a few other close-up amazements are solo material; the show’s emotional heart involves audience participation. The cheekiest bit involves a volunteer who is dubbed “Mr./ Ms. Tomorrow,” and is handed a massively fat book; this individual will be kicked out of the theater prior to the final segment, and sent home with instructions to fill the book’s next blank
page with how s/he imagines the performance will conclude. Just like all the hundreds of Tomorrows who’ve done the same, and filled the book thus far. The newest Tomorrow returns the following day, passing the book along (and, one assumes, then is able to see the performance to its conclusion). One of Oz’s niftiest directorial flourishes is the montage of Tomorrows, obviously filmed over months’ worth of performances. He repeats this approach later, during the segment prompted by the cubbyholes filled with envelopes; this second montage — given the nature of the magic involved — is highly poignant, as audience members react to what they read upon opening an envelope. By the time we reach the final segment, which is just this side of unbelievable, DelGaudio seems as emotionally spent as a large percentage of the audience. He’s gotta be acting — magicians are, after all, seasoned performers — but, even so, it’s darn near impossible not to get sucked into The Wonder Of It All. “While DelGaudio is one of the finest sleight-of-hand artists in the world,” Oz comments, in the press notes, “he is not actually a magician. He’s something else entirely.” So is this film. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http:// derrickbang.blogspot.com. Comment on this review at www.davisenterprise.com.
‘Outside the Wire’ — and let’s just leave it there Futuristic action flick is a huge waste of time and talent By Derrick Bang Enterprise film critic Lazy science-fiction is truly annoying. Actually, Netflix’s “Outside the Wire” barely qualifies; it’s really just a testosterone-fueled, shoot’em-up war flick with superficial sci-fi trimmings. Scripters Rowan Athale and Rob Yescombe rely on attitude rather than the slightest hint of character depth, or the philosophical issues of their clichéd scenario. Their grunt-level sensibilities become obvious immediately — two minutes in! — when everybody onscreen relentlessly employs F-bombs as adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, verbs and interjections. That’s just tiresome. Mikael Håfström helms this mess with the subtlety of a charging rhinoceros. No surprise, given a résumé of similarly undistinguished thrillers and horror flicks (“Drowning Ghost,” “Derailed,” “Escape Plan,” etc.). Ergo, we shouldn’t expect anything better here. So. The year is 2036, and Eastern Europe has become a relentless war
zone; the Russians once again are the villains of choice. Good-guy Americans fight alongside lumbering robot soldiers pejoratively dubbed “Gumps” (presumably after “Forrest Gump,” which is pretty damn insulting). This isn’t any sort of advantage, because the bad-guy soldiers have their own Gumps. We pause, for a moment, to explore this a bit. No mention ever is made, regarding how Gumps receive and execute their orders; no indication of who programs and controls them; no contemplation of whether they could be hacked by the opposition; and so forth. They’re just part of the noisy wallpaper. (Like I said, lazy writing.) The ground troops are supported by drones controlled from afar by pilot teams such as Harp (Damson Idris) and Bale (Kristina Tonteri-Young). When a nasty firefight threatens to become catastrophic, Harp makes a needs-of-the-many choice that saves dozens of soldiers at the expense of two who perish. Trouble is, that decision disobeys a direct order. Rather than being courtmartialed and sent home in disgrace, Harp is assigned to accompany Capt. Leo (Anthony Mackie) on a covert ground mission beyond the fenced American compound (ergo, “outside the wire”). Intel reports that a lunatic named Victor Koval (Pilou

Given that they’re pinned down by enemy fire, Harp (Damson Idris, right) has good reason to be concerned. He needn’t be, because Leo (Anthony Mackie) is about to demonstrate his enhanced fighting skills. Asbaek) intends to obtain the launch codes for a handful of nukes, with which to terrorize the world (we assume); Leo wants Harp along because he “thinks outside the box.” Ah, but — as Harp soon learns — Leo isn’t just any black-ops specialist; he’s “fourth-generation biotech.” (Again, questions: Where did he come from? Does this mean first-, second- and third-generation biotechs are wandering around? Answers come there none.) What follows are the standard-issue melees up the bad-guy food chain, en route to locating Koval, which gives Leo ample opportunity to strut his
awesome abilities. Alas, Håfström, editor Rickard Krantz and the sfx and stunt teams handle these skirmishes without any grace or golly-gee visual pizzazz; they’re not much different than regular, beefy human beings slugging it out. Mackie is a far better actor than what he’s allowed to do here; even by popcorn-movie standards, he has been far more stylish and cool as the Falcon in numerous Marvel superhero entries. Here he’s always stoic and curt, because, well, I guess that’s how fourth-generation biotechs behave. The various melees are interrupted by fleeting
discussions between our two heroes, on the contrasting nature of humanity and artificial intelligence: superficial efforts at analytical musings that don’t make a lick of sense. When Athale and Yescomb have Leo opine that “perhaps humans aren’t emotional enough” — this, after Harp’s agonized decision in the opening act — I could only toss up my hands. Idris does his best with the hackneyed dialogue and minimal scripted shading; he’s personable and passionate, and he equips Harp with intelligence and well-deserved wariness. He’s interesting, which is
Podcast features coming-of-age story about brotherhood Special to The Enterprise Stories on Stage Davis will release the 11th episode of its all-podcast eighth season on Saturday, Feb. 13, with Mary Kearney-Brown’s story “Hawaiian Shirts,” read by Sacramentobased actor Thomas Dean. This coming-of-age story about brotherhood takes place on a summer night in Philadelphia, when Eli, a gentle, socially awkward teen, tags along with his self-assured, collegeaged older brother Ryan, who feels a responsibility to help Eli grow up. As Eli reflects deeply on his brother, himself and the alien world of young adulthood that awaits him, the story touches not only on the need for approval a young person seeks from the people around them but also the way a young person starts to see flaws in the people they’ve always admired.
Mary KearneyBrown is a Bay Area native who is excited to be a part of Stories on Stage Davis. She graduated from Haverford College in 2019 and is working and living in KEARNEYSan Francisco. She loves BROWN to write and hear other Author people’s stories read on stage. Reading “Hawaiian Shirts” is Thomas Dean, a Sacramento-based actor who is making his first appearance with Stories on Stage Davis. Notable productions in Thomas’ career include “Jasper” at Big Idea Theatre (of which Thomas is a company member), “Mary Stuart” and “As You Like It” with Davis Shakespeare and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” playing Lysander at the Woodland
Opera House. Some of his other favorite roles include Elder Thomas (“The Whale”), Rev. Hale (“The Crucible”) with MSTW, and Andrei (“Three Sisters”). He last perDEAN formed in B Street Actor Theatre’s Fantasy Festival Tour. The Stories on Stage Davis podcast airs new episodes every second and fourth Saturday, and its eighth season will run to June 2021.

more than can be said for Leo (who, let’s face it, should be the story’s most intriguing character — but isn’t). Emily Beecham pops up as Sofiya, a well-placed contact whose actual allegiance seems uncertain. That aside, and to Beecham’s credit, she has a distinct personality. Like everybody else in this Eastern European setting, she speaks perfect English. (How convenient.) At just shy of two hours, this flick is at least 20 minutes too long, even though Athale and Yescomb uncork a third-act “surprise.” Which also is a shopworn sci-fi cliché, which viewers easily will anticipate. Netflix recently boasted its intention to deliver 70 original films during the upcoming year. If this one demonstrates how low the quality bar has been set, there’s no reason to be impressed.

FEBRUARY The sun is setting on swiping at the pump Special to The Enterprise Among its downfalls, 2020 was a fraud-heavy year. However, there is one type of fraud that can be thwarted in 2021: pay-atthe-pump fraud using cloned payment cards, also known as counterfeit fraud. This happens when cybercriminals skim cards and steal payment card data at fuel pumps or buy them from the dark web, print them onto counterfeit payment cards, and use them at older fuel pumps that do not have an EMV® chip or contactless card reader. And pay-at-the-pump fraud is rampant. Analysis from Mercator Advisory Group and Transaction Network Services shows that fraud losses on automatic fuel dispensers (AFDs) this year is estimated to be $17,315 per site.
This type of fraud is prevalent because most gas stations still use outdated fuel pumps with point of sale (POS) systems that read the magnetic stripe on the back of a card instead of POS systems that use more secure chip and contactless card readers. It is time for station owners to upgrade their fuel pumps to protect themselves and their customers. Upgrading these fuel pumps has been a long time coming. Awareness about the intent to shift to chip cards for secure payments started in 2011 and the date for fraud liability to shift from financial institutions to fuel merchants has been pushed back multiple times since then. Visa is trying to stop fraudsters from taking advantage of consumers
and merchants this way, and is encouraging fuel merchants to upgrade to EMV chip card and contactless readers at the pump - the most efficient way to prevent criminals from successfully using counterfeit payment cards - before the liability shift date of April 17, 2021. "In addition to consumers having an extra layer of protection, these upgrades benefit gas station owners by removing fraud dollars that impact their bottom line," said Julie Creevy Scharff, vice president of consumer products at Visa. "Based on Visa data, counterfeit fraud dollars decreased 87 percent
among chip-enabled nonfuel merchants in the U.S. in March 2020 compared to September 2015, when the liability shift occurred for that community." Visa believes a similar reduction in counterfeit fraud perpetrated at fuel pumps can be experienced by fuel merchants if they embrace chip card and contactless card readers at the pump.
ating 4 Celebr er 1 Years Of S vice!
Fortunately, there is still time to upgrade. Merchants should contact their payment or fuel pump provider so consumers can take
advantage of a chip card reader with their chip card or use contactless payment when they fuel up. —Brandpoint

Recall has ironic pluses for Newsom
Almost T over the line
T
ogether, we have accomplished something important: unlike other school districts, there have been no student, staff or teacher deaths in the Davis Joint Unified School District since the COVID-19 pandemic began. We put on masks, stayed home and changed our lives to keep each other safe. Teachers learned new technology overnight, prepared pick-up packets and worked overtime to keep kids engaged online. Parents partnered with teachers to take on a new role they never anticipated. Students worked hard to stay focused and stay on track. Staff members organized in-person small groups for students struggling with online learning. And administrators, school board members and union representatives collaborated on a plan that could soon give families the option for on-site learning. We are almost over the finish line! We need to meet just two conditions: reduce cases and give school employees the opportunity to be vaccinated. If current conditions continue, we will meet the former criteria soon. Once we’re over that hurdle, we need to tackle our biggest barrier to reopening: vaccinations. This week, UC Davis is starting to vaccinate faculty and staff members who are meeting with students. Placer County has already begun vaccinating K-12 employees and Sacramento County says they’ll start teacher vaccinations in another week.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2021
he colorful Internet ad from an organization called Rescue California, a lead sponsor of the petition drive to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom, accuses him of posting “The worst record of getting vaccines distributed” of any state in America. For one thing, that’s not correct. As of Feb. 1, California stood 37th among the states in the percentage of available COVID-19 vaccine doses that had already been administered. Not great, but far from the worst, and the pace has picked up since then. Then there’s the irony in that ad. Among the early leaders of the Newsom recall have been two organizers and leaders of rallies by the Freedom Angels, a group of hardline antivaccination activists. One of that movement’s adherents violently attacked the pro-vaccination leader and Democratic state Sen. Richard Pan last year as he walked in his Sacramento district. There can be few greater ironies than for anti-vax organizers to gripe about a governor not getting enough people vaccinated. Then there’s the fact that almost all recall leaders are part of the Republican far right, which often decries the “cancel culture.” Yet, they’re trying to cancel the results of the 2018 election.
The recall drive, of course, likes to play up Newsom’s admitted hypocrisy in attending at least one group dinner larger than the state’s then-recommended limit of 10 persons. Who are the bigger hypocrites here? Anti-vaxxers like those who shut down the mass vaccination site at Dodger Stadium for an hour the other day, many of whom signed the recall petition, or the governor, who is very human and sometimes slips up? For sure, not even its blatant hypocrisy will stop the recall movement. So it’s time to examine how a recall that stands some chance of ousting Newsom could also make him a political hero and a martyr to many members of this state’s dominant Democratic Party. So far, major Democrats are staying off the list of alternative potential governors that will accompany the recall question if and when it appears in a special election. If this holds up, and Republicans don’t find a candidate with the wide popular
appeal of an Arnold Schwarzenegger, Newsom can run a massive ad campaign labeling the whole thing a far-right attempt to usurp power. He could even borrow one of exPresident Donald Trump’s postelection slogans, “Stop the Steal.” So far, the biggest names willing to put their names on the list of potential new governors are Republicans Kevin Faulconer, the termed-out ex-mayor of San Diego, and his near neighbor, businessman John Cox of suburban San Diego County, defeated easily by Newsom in 2018. Former Sacramento area Congressman Doug Ose also may run. None of them has appeal approaching movie muscleman Schwarzenegger.
W
hen former Facebook executive and Democratic megadonor Chamath Palihapitiya begged off the campaign the other day, it left no well-funded Democrat planning to run. Prominent Democrats like Congressmen Adam Schiff of Burbank and Ro Khanna of San Jose won’t oppose a like-minded sitting governor, fearing they could become pariahs in their own party if he survives the ouster attempt. Only one significant Democrat took that risk in 2003 when voters dumped then-Gov. Gray Davis in California’s only successful statewide recall vote.
That was former Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, who did become an enduring party pariah after losing to Schwarzenegger. Another former lieutenant governor, John Garamendi, considered running but backed off and later ran for Congress, where he sits today. One thing for sure: If and when Newsom beats back the recall, he would instantly win a reputation as someone who put a bunch of far-right populists in their place. That would give him a leg up in a future race either for president — which every California governor considers — or in a 2024 run for the Senate seat now occupied by Democrat Dianne Feinstein. Newsom now dreads the likely recall attempt but if it happens, he gets a chance to whip his three most likely 2022 reelection challengers well in advance of that election. He could turn the entire experience into one of the best things that ever happened to him, with the potential of becoming a lasting hero among his fellow Democrats, here and across the country. — Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

et’s all work together to give Davis teachers and staff members the same access to vaccinations now. Our city has already partnered with UC Davis to launch a first-in-the-nation saliva testing effort that caught more than 800 asymptomatic COVID cases alone, preventing those unknowing carriers from becoming superspreaders. And now our school district is working with UC Davis to open testing sites near every school site. Expanded, accessible testing is a key part of the DJUSD reopening plan. Can we expand our partnership with UC Davis to get DJUSD employees vaccinated as well? Our county has mobilized hundreds of volunteers to run efficient vaccination sites for health workers and those over age 65. Can we add education and other essential workers to those clinics now, vaccinating both our older residents and our teachers at the same time? We know, first-hand, how difficult, frustrating and exhausting it has been to try to balance work, distance learning and life while making so many sacrifices for the greater good. Teachers and families alike are eager to be able to see each other in person. Prioritizing the vaccination of adults who are at risk of contracting COVID-19 while working in the classroom is the key to opening as soon as we can and as safely as we can. — Anoosh Jorjorian, Audrey Pan, Cynthia Pickett and Ryan Davis

In 1995, at the age of 23, Manuel pled guilty to a felony involving furnishing marijuana. Manuel had a prior conviction out of Los Angeles County. The judge failed to advise him of the immigration consequences of his plea, as required by law. When he entered his plea, Manuel had no idea that he would later be banned from becoming a lawful permanent resident. Manuel married and voluntarily departed to Mexico so that his U.S. citizen wife Beatrice could legally sponsor him. He remained in Mexico for 12 years where he supported Beatrice through chemotherapy and other hardships despite living apart. Manuel’s stepdaughter works for our office and asked me for help because Beatrice’s health has grown worse. I filed a motion and soon learned that Mr. Reisig has a standing policy directing his deputies to follow the U.S. Supreme Court

decision in Padilla v. Kentucky, requiring prosecutors to consider immigration consequences in handling criminal cases. His staff was very diligent in reviewing the case and deliberated for a few months while I provided information and letters from Manuel’s family and friends. DA staff verified that Manuel had been crime free since 1995 and had demonstrated good moral character. On Saturday, Jan. 30, I received an e-mail stating the Yolo DA would not oppose my motion. Mr. Reisig and his office went farther, connecting me with Rose Cairn, of the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, a nationally recognized expert in the field of immigrant post-conviction relief and an adviser to Los Angeles DA, George Gascon. Manuel, his family, and I are forever grateful to the Yolo DA’s Office. Yolo County is fortunate to have such a progressive, compassionate DA’s Office, dedicated to ensuring justice for all. David L.

Testing is so easy Taking the whole family to the Healthy Davis Together testing is our new Monday afternoon routine. I can’t believe how easy it is. I’ve been five times now, and I’m usually in/out in 5 minutes flat. Even our 6-year-old can manage the saliva test just fine, and it was super easy to

set up my kids as dependents when I log in online. When one of my kids got a stomach bug, I learned that the Mondavi testing site could do a different rapid test for anyone with any potential COVID symptoms. We walked up to their outside area, got a painless rapid test, and had the results 15 minutes later. I feel incredibly fortunate to live in Davis where we have a testing system so impressive it was recently featured in a glowing New York Times article. I hope you’ll join me in making testing your weekly routine. Mary Ann Bates Davis
Thank you Our mighty little paper continues to keep our community connected and talking to one another. Thank you, Davis Enterprise, for getting the word out about our book study of “The Color of Law” by Richard Rothstein. Approximately 30 people from across the community turned out each week for four weeks — on Zoom — to work through this challenging book. We got to meet new people in the midst of a pandemic and were challenged and changed by what we learned. Jill Van Zanten Lutheran Church of the Incarnation Social Justice Committee

Eroded trust Dear Annie: My fiance and I want to go back to the way we were, but it is more of a struggle for me than for him. We are planning to get an apartment together, but it is hard for me to be around him without getting upset. I have been going through a lot lately, and finding out that my fiance was lying to me was one of the worst things that has happened. At first, it was something minor, and I just chose to keep my mouth shut, but the next morning he was on his phone, and I saw pictures of naked women that he tried to hide fast. I tried to get the truth out of him, but he lied. We went to the lake to talk about it, and it just kept escalating. He’s been doing it for seven months. I found out and was actually contacting someone to get these pictures. This is cheating, isn’t it? He also had multiple accounts for stuff like that which he had to pay for. He promised not to do it again, but I struggle to believe it when he continues to lie to me about different things. I
