UC Davis hit by cyberattack

The city of Davis and Healthy Davis Together announced wastewater sampling equipment will be deployed in 15 additional locations, expanding monitoring to more neighborhoods served by the city’s wastewater collection system.

Worldwide scheme targets universities, government agencies and corporations

“Recent low levels in wastewater confirm what we see with our low positivity rate,” she said.

“An elevated reading could mean there are asymptomatic infections that haven’t been identified yet, or that virus is being shed by individuals already properly in quarantine

UC Davis and other University of California campuses were hit this week by a cyberattack. The hackers behind the attack exploited a vulnerability in the firewall vendor Accellion, which is used for secure file transfers, and posted the personal information of UC employees on a public website, the UC Office of the President said Wednesday in a press release.

“Beginning Monday, March 29, many UC Davis email accounts started receiving messages stating that their personal data had been stolen and would be released,” UC Davis Chief Information Security Officer Cheryl Washington and Vice Provost of Information and Education Technology Viji Murali said Wednesday in an email to the campus community. UC Davis officials later learned that colleagues across the UC system received similar messages.

HDT expands wastewater monitoring

By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer Healthy Davis Together is expanding its monitoring of wastewater within the city of Davis in order to better detect any increase in the amount of virus that causes COVID-19 in the city.

Since November, wastewater samples have been collected at multiple locations throughout the city’s sewage system and analyzed in the lab of Heather Bischel, an assistant professor in the UC Davis Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

Because the virus that causes COVID-19 can be shed in the stool of infected individuals, monitoring sewage provides an indication of virus levels in different areas of the city, though results are not isolated down to individual households.

For example, sampling done during the week of March 21 to 28 showed virus levels increasing in one particular large region, Old East Davis/Wildhorse. Elsewhere, virus levels stayed the same or even decreased, including in West Davis, South Davis/El Macero and Central Davis.

On Thursday, the city and Healthy Davis Together announced wastewater sampling equipment will be deployed in 15 additional locations, expanding monitoring to more neighborhoods served by the city’s wastewater collection system.

The goal is to expand an early warning system that will alert officials to an increase in virus activity among both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals and better direct individual testing efforts, according to a press release from the city on Thursday.

“Davis is one of few cities to have a full-scale environmental monitoring program in place,” said Bischel, who serves as project lead for wastewater monitoring for Healthy Davis Together.

County targets transients with J&J vaccine

New homes in very short supply

By Anne Ternus-Bellamy

By Jeff Hudson

Enterprise staff writer Yolo County has received supplies of all three COVID-19 vaccines but is targeting the one-dose Johnson and Johnson vaccine at transient populations that may be harder to reach for a second dose.

Those populations include the homeless, inmates at the Yolo County jail and agricultural workers, according to county spokeswoman Jenny Tan. Currently three vaccines are authorized for emergency use in the United States: the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, which require two doses several weeks apart, and the Johnson and Johnson vaccine,

VOL. 124 NO. 40

which is a single dose. The Pfizer vaccine is authorized for those 16 and up while Moderna and Johnson and Johnson are only approved for those 18 and up.

All three have been shown to be 100 percent effective at preventing COVID-19-related hospitalizations and deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, though the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have higher overall efficacy rates than Johnson and Johnson.

Tan urged county residents on Thursday to not be picky about the vaccine they receive, noting that “all three are safe, effective and free.”

“The best vaccine to get

is the one offered to you,” she said.

Gov. Gavin Newsom magnified that message on Thursday by receiving the Johnson and Johnson vaccine during an appearance in Southern California.

“It’s an opportunity to highlight the (Johnson and Johnson) vaccines that are coming in,” said Newsom.

“One and done.”

Newsom received the vaccine on the first day of eligibility for everyone ages 50 and up in California.

With that eligibility change, Tan said those seeking vaccines at county clinics will no longer need to provide proof of employment or

Enterprise correspondent Just as the supply of existing homes for sale is very lean this year, there are very few newly built homes in Davis coming on the market during the immediate future. Here’s a rundown of current projects: The Cannery: Fewer than 40 units remain for sale in The Cannery’s Gala section, with construction still underway on the last two buildings.

Homes in Gala are single-floor flats (two and three bedrooms, plus a private deck) inside a four-story elevator-served building, ranging from 1,191 square-foot. ($524,880) to 1,995 square-foot. ($759,323), with two or three bedrooms, and a private deck.

It’s basically a close-out sale; all the other neighborhoods at The Cannery — Sage, Heirloom, etc. — are sold out at this point.

Don Fouts Homes: Two Fouts projects are finished (or nearly finished). The sixteen “turnkey homes” at The Villas at El Macero are all sold, and all the lots are sold at Grande Village (with construction of the last few homes expected to wrap up around June). Next, Fouts will be focusing on his Chiles Ranch project, which will involve 96 homes on East Eighth St. (east of Pole Line Road).

“We are hoping to break ground this summer (at Chiles Ranch), with the first units becoming available by the end of 2021, and the majority of construction and sales in 2022,” Fouts said. “We were ready to pull the trigger and start construction lasts year ... but with COVID, we didn’t know if we’d have an economy.”

Briefly Cops make arrest in carjacking Davis police arrested a 39-year-old man Friday on suspicion of attempting a carjacking outside a downtown bank, officials reported Wednesday.

The victim reported the incident at about 10 p.m. near the U.S. Bank at 304 F St., saying he had just used the ATM when the suspect, later identified as Kevin John Foley, approached him.

“Foley opened the driver-side door of the victim’s car and attempted to remove the car keys from the ignition,” Deputy Police Chief Paul Doroshov said.

The man fled the scene on foot after a brief struggle, but officers later found him.

Foley was booked into the Yolo County Jail.

Fire damages S. Davis home An alert neighbor may have prevented a house fire from causing more extensive damage Saturday, according to the Davis Fire Department.

No one was at the home at the house in the 3100 block of Nantucket Terrace when the blaze broke out around 2:40 p.m., Battalion Chief Paul Swanson said. It was reported by a neighbor who saw smoke coming from the roof.

No injuries were reported, and the fire’s cause remains under investigation, Swanson said.

Bishop drops in for holy solar panels

S

PRINKLES FROM HEAVEN ... I’ve heard of Flying Nuns, but a flying bishop may be more than I can wrap my soul around.

“Flying bishop to bless solar panels to celebrate Davis ZeroCarbon Church,” said the headline over the press release announcing yet another only-in-Davis event.

“The Rt. Rev. Megan M. Traquair, bishop of the Diocese of Northern California for the Episcopal Church, will bless the solar panels at the Episcopal Church of St. Martin’s in Davis on April 11,” the release begins.

“The blessing by Bishop Megan will involve sprinkling holy water on the panels, in her full vestments, from the top of a scissor lift.”

Given that we’re in the throes of yet another drought, any moisture falling from the sky is to be greeted with enthusiasm.

“It will celebrate the Davis church reducing its carbon emissions to zero by replacing all gas appliances with electric on their campus and installing solar panels to cover all energy needs. It will be

part of a month of events dedicated to ‘Care for God’s Creation’ at St. Martin’s, a month in which Earth Day is also celebrated worldwide.”

According to the Rev. Dr. Pamela Dolan of St. Martin’s, “We hope our church can inspire other churches, faith groups, businesses, individuals and also our state and federal government to take the bold actions necessary to care for God’s Creation.”

I may need Vatican approval to witness this high noon event, but in the spirit of ecumenism, I’m confident I will be there.

GEORGIA ON MY MIND ...

Nice to see that the kind and compassionate folks in the Georgia

state Legislature have decided to ban something called “line warming,” the practice of providing food or water to people waiting in line to vote.

Georgia lawmakers claim that line warming constitutes a bribe, despite a lack of evidence that anyone has been forced to vote for a certain candidate before receiving a sip of ice water.

As the Rev. Tim McDonald of the First Iconium Baptist Church in Atlanta notes, “You know something is wrong when you can’t give grandma a bottle of water or a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich.”

Indeed.

Exceptions to the no-food-ordrink rule include the pickle from a Chick-fil-A sandwich, the hole from a Krispy Kreme doughnut, grits from Waffle House, pecan pie made from Georgia pecans, a bottle of Coca-Cola, a peanut from Jimmy Carter’s farm and a freshly picked Georgia peach.

Providing any other food or drink to someone waiting in line to vote will land you in the pokey.

Some folks are suggesting that

the ban on line warming should be extended to all 50 states by urging Americans not to eat or drink any product produced, grown or headquartered in the state of Georgia.

S

UEZ SOLUTION ... According to Peter Berdowski, CEO of the Dutch company Royal Boskalis that was charged with freeing the Ever Given in the Suez Canal, “It all came down to physics.”

You think?

A STAR IS BORN ... Have attended the last two Aggie home games in lonely UC Davis Health Stadium, where no fans have been allowed and thus no crowd noise.

(Fans will be back this weekend.)

However, one of the high points has been the public address announcing by one Spencer Bowen, who is clearly ready for the big time. Spencer had experience in this field while a student at Cal, but has now taken his skills to a clearly higher level.

Winters police find couple passed out in running car, child in back seat

Davis man settles allegations of grant fraud

By Lauren Keene

Special to The Enterprise

Enterprise staff writer

Owen Hughes, the sole proprietor of Eon Research Corporation in Davis, agreed to pay the United States $635,000 to resolve allegations that he knowingly submitted false statements to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to secure Small Business Innovation Research grant funds, Acting U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert announced.

According to court documents, in 2007, Hughes applied for and received a Small Business Innovation Research grant to conduct environmental research, certifying that he had implemented financial safeguards to ensure the proper use of grant funds.

The settlement resolves allegations that despite his certifications, Hughes had no financial policies in place. As a result, Hughes could not substantiate how he had actually used the federal funds he received.

The settlement also resolves claims that Hughes commingled

A Madison couple face child endangerment and alcohol-related charges after being found passed out in a running vehicle in Winters, according to the Winters Police Department.

It was the report of a two unresponsive people in the drive-through area of a Matsumoto Lane restaurant that sent police and fire personnel to the Sunday evening incident, police said in a recent Facebook post.

“Upon arrival, officers located a female seated in the driver’s seat of the vehicle unconscious, holding an open bottle of tequila, and a male in the front passenger seat unconscious. The vehicle was running and in park,” the post said.

Also in the car: an unrestrained 4-year-old child in the back seat, police said.

As the child was taken into protective custody, police arrested the car’s adult occupants: Monica Cook, 33, on suspicion of driving under the influence and child endangerment;

grant funds in his personal accounts and then used the commingled funds for his aviation hobby, by paying aircraft hangar rental fees and buying aircraft parts.

“This settlement sends a clear message that recipients of federally funded grants must strictly adhere to the regulations applicable to those grants and fully account for their use of federal funds,” Talbert said. “Recipients who fail to do so risk significant consequences.”

“Establishing required financial policies is a key component to proper accounting of SBIR grants. Therefore, it is imperative that individuals and entities implement sound policies to avoid mismanagement of these limited funds,” said Steven J. Ryan, special agent in charge for the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.”

DESIGNING Cops nab suspected car SPECTACULAR burglars KITCHEN REMODELS!

By Lauren Keene

Enterprise staff writer A Davis police investigation led to the arrests of two people on burglary and drug charges earlier this week.

Deputy Police Chief Paul Doroshov reported Wednesday that the investigation stemmed from a rash of car burglaries at the Days Inn hotel on Chiles Road.

“During the follow-up investigation, officers located and identified two suspects: Ray Jordan and

Tanya Shirley Moore,” who were contacted by police early Monday morning, Doroshov said.

Both reportedly were found in possession of drug paraphernalia and burglary tools.

Jordan, 26, and Moore, 34, were lodged at the Yolo County Jail on suspicion of burglary, conspiracy, petty theft, and possession of the drug items and burglary tools. Doroshov said Jordan faces an additional charge of allegedly giving police false identification.

Davis Adult School spring classes available

By Edward Booth Enterprise staff writer Spring classes are starting up on April 6 at the Davis Adult and Community Education School and there’s still time to register online.

Available community interest classes include Hapkido Self-Defense and Stress Reduction, Tibetan Meditation, Beginning Spanish Conversation and Hatha Yoga. Also available is English Reading and Writing, a class for Parents of English Learners and a New World of Work workforce

preparation class.

Additionally, there are classes for adults to complete the requirements for a high school diploma or General Education Development credential. The adult school also carries English as a Second Language classes.

Almost every available class will be held virtually.

Grace Sauser, principal of the adult school, said the school has a new Certified Nursing Assistant cohort that will start up around the end of May, but that’s the only in-person adult program that will take place for

the remainder of the school year.

Class descriptions and schedules can be found at the adult school website: https://dace.djusd.net.

There is a fee for most students, which varies depending on the course.

Sauser also said the Davis Parent Nursery School on Eighth Street will be reopening to children under the Davis Joint Unified School District Return to Campus Plan. She said the program is currently full, but registration for the 2021-22 school year is now open.

Davis Media Access

xcitement is building for vaccine availability and the prospect of life beginning to return to normal. I’m starting to field many questions about when Davis Media Access will “reopen,” and would like to take this opportunity to address a number of them in one place. Some things to know: n While many KDRT programmers continue to produce from home, DMA has largely reopened to solo KDRT programmers for whom that was not possible. We’re on the cusp of figuring out to bring cohosts back into the studio together — vaccination and improving numbers countywide now make this a possibility sooner rather than later.

We’ve asked all other programmers to remain virtual until full reopening at a later date. n We plan to keep all group meetings (board, committee, programmer, staff) virtual for the foreseeable future. n Staff is currently working to develop “curbside pickup” for our field equipment, and online workshops on a variety of topics. n Reopening the community center as a whole is trickier as it depends upon the remodel that DMA began planning in 2018. This mostly impacts our television studio and edit suites. This also may

impose occupancy limits in the building. Due to limited funding, DMA has deferred maintenance in this area. Notably the front entry door, sliding doors, heater and air conditioner require replacement before these amenities can be opened to the public. n We have complete plans and a permit from the city for the remodel and currently DMA’s staff and board are working on a roadmap for completing the project. The remodel will be completed in phases, and repairing the facility so we can fully reopen will be the first priority. We are currently projecting to begin the repairs this fall. n The remodel and reopening is a long process, complicated by the pandemic, and one with which we have no prior experience. We thank our community for your patience and your involvement.

Here are some programming highlights: n Recently, we recorded two videos with Dr. Aimee Sisson, the public health officer for Yolo County.

The first https://youtu.be/H0eXw 7o0Afk outlines new vaccine eligibility in Yolo County. In the second, https://youtu.be/ShUYaWq3UJw, Dr. Sisson outlines the county’s transition to the MyTurn application.

n In partnership with CommuniCare Health Centers and Yolo County’s Public Information Office, DMA also produced Spanishlanguage videos on the same topics.

They are available at https://youtu. be/7uMueNuKFA8 and https:// youtu.be/TIieXgDiPiM, respectively. These were voiced by MariaIsabel Mandujano from CommuniCare. n All the PSAs air on DCTV Channel 15 Comcast in Davis, at Menu 99 on AT&T’s U-verse system. DMA initiated these projects as a community service and part of its ongoing commitment to providing locally relevant information during the pandemic. DMA is the only nonprofit community media center in Yolo County, and while based in Davis, serves the region. n In another recent collaboration, Climate Strike Davis organized a Walk for Climate Justice on March 11. The event was organized in conjunction with Greenfaith’s “Sacred People, Sacred Earth Day of Climate Action” https://greenfaith. org/take-action, and was part of climate action events held on six continents. Walkers visited with elected officials and community leaders throughout downtown Davis to discuss their climate action policies and plans. n DMA recorded the walk. An 11-minute program is now airing on DCTV Channel 15 Comcast in

Davis, at Menu 99 on AT&T’s U-verse system, and is also available on demand at DMA’s YouTube Channel https://youtu.be/ HyJv3wxl3u0 Thanks to Production Specialist Bryce Parker for his work this past year covering many marches and vigils, as well as other community events. n Yolo United Against Hate — YED Spring 2021 Leaders Summit: YED stands for Yolo, Education and Discovery and is a name play borrowing from the well-known TEDTalks. It’s an evolution of the Yolo Leaders summits that have been organized with local school, city and county elected officials and executive staff for over 10 years to gather and learn about issues of common interest.

According to organizers (which included Yolo county Supervisors Oscar Villegas and Don Saylor, as well the Local Agency Formation Commission), “racism, whether it is targeted at AAPIs or any other minority, doesn’t start or stop at an election or a pandemic. During times of social, political, economic instability, our society has a history of marginalizing and blaming other groups for problems instead of coming together and looking for solutions together.” DMA was happy to support video editing for this project and is hosting the video on our YouTube Channel. https:// youtu.be/ThRAYxkqDX8.

PAUL’S PLACE:

An Innovative Vertical Tiny Home Village Designed to Serve the Most Needy in Davis COMMUNITY UPDATE OUR HISTORY In 2017, a small group convened to discuss an idea to renovate and expand services to homeless individuals and families at 1111 H Street in Davis.

These included representatives from Davis Community Meals and Housing, Davis Opportunity Village, the City of Davis, Yolo County Housing, the Davis Police Department, and other interested community members.

Now, four years later, we would like to provide the Davis community with an update on our progress towards achieving our goal of building Paul’s Place.

Under the leadership of Reed and Susan Youmans, Marty West, and former Mayor Robb Davis, we have achieved our initial fundraising target of $5 million.

We are particularly grateful to Sutter Health for its generous grant of $2.5 million, Partnership Health for a grant of $750,000, and to the many generous Davis community members who have supported this innovative response to homelessness by contributing funds, expertise, time and resources.

While the COVID pandemic and its stay-athome orders have slowed our progress, we are moving forward on Paul’s Place City approvals, final architecture design, and engineering. We look forward to breaking ground on construction by this June.

PAUL’S PLACE DESIGN AND FUNCTION Davis architect Maria Ogrydziak designed Paul’s Place as a village of “stacked tiny houses” set atop ground-floor spaces where wrap-around services could be provided. Paul’s Place will be a beautiful, new multi-functional structure designed to serve the most vulnerable individuals living homeless in Davis and will replace the dilapidated Davis Community Meals and Housing (DCMH) facility that has operated at 1111 H Street for decades. It is an innovative, one-of-a-kind structure that will include: • Beautiful outdoor space to enrich the neighborhood.

• A first floor Resource Center with enhanced program space to connect participants with public benefits, housing and employment opportunities, and health and human services — as well as basic needs for food, clothing, showers, restrooms, and laundry facilities. It also will feature four new emergency shelter beds for law enforcement and other service providers to help people in crisis get off of the streets.

• The second floor features transitional housing that will provide 10 single residence bedrooms, a communal kitchen, family room, bathrooms and laundry.

• The third and fourth floors will have a total of 18 300-square-foot private micro-unit apartments of permanent supportive housing, two of which will be accessible for those with physical disabilities, and where all residents will have access to wraparound services to help ensure stability and independence.

CONSTRUCTION In May 2020, the project was recommended for approval by the Davis Planning Commission with unanimous support. In June 2020, the project was unanimously approved by the Davis City Council.

Since last July, the Paul’s Place Construction and Oversight Committee has assembled a team of design professionals led by Ogrydziak that includes OPA Architects, Cunningham Engineering, Pemberton Structural Engineering, and many others to complete all aspects of the project design documents. Our construction partner, Steve Harrison of Harrison Construction, has been integral to the design process and has provided valuable input into constructability and cost/benefit issues throughout the process. In the months since, we finalized our architectural construction documents, specifications (such as finishes, appliances, and plumbing fixtures), structural and energy PAID FOR BY DAVIS COMMUNITY MEALS & HOUSING

calculations, and site civil engineering plans We submitted our project construction documents to City building officials in early February 2021. It will take several months for City representatives to review and provide comments, for our consultants to make revisions, and for the issuance of our building permit.

We are hopeful that we will be ready to break ground in June 2021, with an anticipated construction of Paul’s Place to be completed in mid-2022.

FUNDRAISING CONTINUES As of December 31, 2020, we have raised over $5.4 million. Though we have reached our initial fundraising goal of $5 million for design and construction, we continue to strive toward our ultimate fundraising goal of $7 million. The additional $2 million will cover an endowment for maintenance and operations, reserves for replacement, furnishings, and relocation and temporary housing for the current residents of 1111 H Street. We have received assistance from both Yolo County and the City of Davis to purchase the duplex next door at 1101 H Street to use for our Transitional Housing Program and Resource Center during the construction of Paul’s Place.

We are still seeking additional donations, new donors, and funding to reach our overall goal of $7 million, which we hope to achieve by the end of this year.

Briefly NorCal Trykers plan Tryke Days Thanks to a donation from the Woodland Sunrise Rotary, NorCal Trykers has purchased an “Assessment Trailer” that will be stocked with a variety of AMTRYKE therapeutic tricycles and the accessories needed to customize them to allow children with special needs to be able to cycle with their friends and families.

“Having these trykes on hand so the children can try them out before we place their orders will be tremendously helpful,” said Gill Williams, president of NorCal Trykers.

On Saturday, April 3, NorCal Trykers will conduct its first Tryke Day in Woodland. All of the previous 185 recipients have been invited to make appointments to bring their trykes to the Assessment Trailer, which has a complete stock of replacement parts for repairs and to determine if any child has outgrown a tryke.

NorCal Trykers promises to provide the next size up if that is the case.

Hear about oral history project UC Davis Professor Milmon F. Harrison will lead a discussion of his Black California oral history project and the significance of the Black presence in Sacramento historically and today. This event will take place at 5:10 p.m. Thursday, April 15, via Zoom webinar.

Harrison will be joined by a group of his students, along with Clarence Ceasar, a retired historian with the California State Office of Historic Preservation, California State Parks; filmmaker Susheel Bibbs; and Ron Kelley, the owner and operator of R. Kelley Farms.

This event is part of the Reframing Sacramento series, funded by a grant from California Humanities.

HOMES: UCD looks to ramp up on-campus effort From Page A1 between Fifth St. and Eighth St. Demolition of the old convalescent home is underway, and Fouts is mulling over possibilities including an apartment complex (there are already some apartments in the vicinity) as well as single-family attached duplexes or triplexes (which would be for sale).

Bretton Woods (formerly West Davis Active Adult Community): Developer and spokesman Dave Taormino said, “Bretton Woods is hoping to start grading and infrastructure by early summer 2021.

We are in serious negotiations with a California-based builder to meet that goal, which is a prerequisite to start. If all goes as planned, the first homes will be available early next year. Model homes could be available by late winter.”

Bretton Woods will include 325 units for sale, primarily singlefamily detached, plus 150 affordable senior apartments. Some 80 percent of units are proposed to be age restricted (age 55 and over), and approximately 70 single-family units will not be age restricted.

UC Davis West Village Faculty/

Staff Housing. This 500-home project in the West Village portion of the UC Davis campus was originally proposed in 2002, and some site improvements (electric, etc.) were undertaken.

But construction plans went on indefinite hiatus in 2008, when the arrival of the Great Recession impacted virtually all residential real estate projects both locally and nationally. In 2016, UC Davis appeared ready to revive the project, announcing plans to construct the first 50 homes. But that plan fizzled — apparently because of differences over construction costs between the university and building contractors.

Now, with intense competition for homes, it appears that the West Village Faculty Staff Housing project could actually be on again.

Mark Ruthheiser, executive director of real estate services with the UC Davis Design and Construction Management department, told The Enterprise that the university is taking a serious look at reactivating this long dormant project, though Rutheiser added that some aspects of the original 2002 proposal may be updated and revised, given the

passage of nearly 20 years.

An announcement from the university could be forthcoming later on this year.

Student apartments There are a number of studentoriented apartment projects under construction off campus in various parts of town. Students are expected to move into the new Sterling Fifth Street apartments in Fall 2021. Sterling Fifth Street will have 160 units, ranging from studios to five-bedroom units, with rents running $1,219 to $2,239.

And there are various other offcampus projects involving studentoriented apartments going through the city’s planning process, or under construction.

UC Davis On-Campus Housing.

The university opened the first phase of The Green at West Village in Fall 2020, with 1,000 bed for transfer and continuing students.

Another 2,300 beds are expected to be available at The Green in West Village in Fall 2021, and the university’s Shasta Hall project is expected to be complete by Fall 2021, with 800 residence hall beds

for freshman students. In Fall 2023, the expanded Orchard Park redevelopment will provide up to 200 two-bedroom units for students with families as well as graduate students.

With new student-oriented apartments being added to the city’s housing stock, and the COVID pandemic leading to some students to do their online classes from their parents home, the vacancy rate for student-oriented apartments has risen to 12.2 percent, according to the most recent UC Davis housing survey, which was released on Feb. 3.

This is a far cry from the 1percent (or lower) vacancy rate for student apartments that has prevailed locally for a number of years.

And it means that — for the first time in some years — students have a number of housing options to consider, whereas people looking for a single-family home in Davis are facing an extremely tight market, with only a few homes currently on sale, and competing bids on those properties resulting in a sale price that is often higher than the original asking price for the property.

CYBERATTACK: Hack targets common firewall software From Page A1 The university believes the person or people behind the attack “are sending threatening mass emails to members of the UC community in an attempt to scare people into giving them money,” the UCOP press release states. The Office of the President added that this type of attack is broad and imprecise, meaning it is likely that “some UC community members receiving these threatening emails will not have had their data compromised, while other community members with compromised data may not receive any email.”

The leaked employee data was obtained through a hacked UCOP system, according to Washington and Murali. “Upon learning of the attack, UC reported the incident to federal law enforcement, took measures to contain it, and began an investigation,” the UCOP press release stated.

The UC system is only the latest institution to disclose a data breach related to vulnerabilities in

Accellion’s secure file transfer service. Since December, universities, government agencies and private corporations have been targeted. Publicly known victims include the oil company Shell, the Reserve bank of New Zealand, the Singaporean telecom Singtel, the state of Washington and the University of Colorado.

“Worldwide, actors have exploited the vulnerabilities to attack multiple federal and state, local, tribal, and territorial government organizations as well as private industry organizations including those in the medical, legal, telecommunications, finance, and energy sectors,” the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said in February.

“In some instances observed, the attacker has subsequently extorted money from victim organizations to prevent public release of information exfiltrated from the Accellion appliance.”

The vulnerabilities that the hackers have exploited are in Accellion’s File Transfer Appliance, which

is used to transfer large and sensitive files within a network. “These vulnerabilities are particularly damaging, because in a normal case an attacker has to hunt to find your sensitive files, and it’s a bit of a guessing game, but in this case the work is already done,” Jake Williams, founder of the security firm Rendition Infosec, told WIRED last month. “By definition, everything sent through Accellion FTA was pre-identified as sensitive by the user.”

Clop, a ransomware group believed to be linked to hackers behind recent attacks exploiting Accellion’s vulnerabilities, uploaded screenshots to a public website this week that show a sample of the personal data obtained through the cyberattack on the UC system. The screenshots show university spreadsheets, tax documents and employee forms that include UC employees’ full names and social security numbers.

UC officials said they will know more about the attack upon the conclusion of the university’s investigation.

“UCOP is working to

determine the scope, and will reach out directly to any members of the UC Davis community affected by this incident,” Washington and Murali said.

Campus officials advised anyone who receives a suspicious email to report it

to cybersecurity@ucdavis. edu without clicking on any links or replying to the sender.

George William (Bill) Streng IV June 19, 1926 — March 20, 2021

Bill Streng, 94, passed away on March 20 at his home in Davis. He had lived 45 years in the same house in Covell Park, which his own company had built in 1977.

He was born George William Streng IV, in Scranton, Pa., on June 19, 1926, to George William Streng III and Marian Morris Heraty. Bill graduated from Scranton Central High School and attended Dartmouth College. He interrupted college to join the U.S. Army where he became a Master Sergeant and served from 1944 to 1946.

While in Germany after World War II, Bill met his first wife, the petite and lovely Johanna Meckel, when he was 19 and she was 16. At their first meeting, they swam across the Rhine River together on a dare.

They were married in 1950. Bill graduated with combined bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the prestigious Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth in New Hampshire.

Bill’s father had died suddenly while he was overseas. Bill was 18 and his brother, Jim, was 14.

Bill became a certified public accountant and worked in New York City and later in San Francisco.

After he earned his CPA, his mother’s brother in California, Phil Heraty, invited Bill and Jim to relocate on the West Coast and work in Phil’s construction company.

The young men worked seven days a week and Uncle Phil rewarded their work ethic with invaluable business experience and by allowing them to purchase his company when he retired. Thus, Streng Bros. Homes was born in 1957.

Bill and Johanna started a family in 1954, in Oakland. They subsequently lived in Sacramento and finally Davis. They had three children.

Streng Bros. Homes thrived when the two siblings found a recipe for success: A certain gifted architect called Carter Sparks, plus the brilliance of Bill, plus Jim’s charm with customers, plus the tireless dedication of both men equaled

unique tract homes that defined the neighborhoods they graced.

These contemporary houses had flat roofs (who needs peaked roofs when you live in a place without snow, after all), atriums bringing a garden atmosphere indoors, large windows letting in light, open-beamed ceilings, and cost-saving features such as humble yet durable materials such as plywood, tar-andgravel, brick and steel. The thing that made the homes truly wonderful and special was that young families could afford them, at $23,100 in 1960 for a three-bedroom house with 1,714 square feet. Homebuyers often chose to modify the basic plan to suit individual tastes. The Streng Brothers were determined to have high-quality, sturdy dwellings that would stand up against the test of time, available to all comers.

Eventually, the brothers divided forces, with brother Jim maintaining the business in Sacramento County and Bill becoming a land developer in Yolo County. Throughout Bill’s long life, his brother remained one of the most important people in it. “We never had a fight or a serious disagreement,” he told me recently.

Bill and Jim were inducted into the California Home Builders Hall of Fame in 1996. Together they sold 3,800 houses over 30 years.

A 2011 report by Caltrans identified Streng Bros. Homes as one of the “nine most important merchant builders in California during the 30 years that followed World War II.” In 1970, Bill’s workaholic ways caught up to him and his wife Johanna “fired me” as he liked to tell the story. The couple divorced and were remarried fairly rapidly, with Bill falling in love with his next-door neighbor, the tall, slender and talented Karmen Gallo, a social worker and quilter, and a single mother with two sons.

To celebrate the 1970s, Bill began to

sport colorful plaid sports jackets and neckties sewn by his new bride, often with dazzling patterns and color combinations.

Bill was a self-made man, who liked to describe himself as a “Horatio Alger Success Story.”

He had many interests, among them a lifelong love of sports. He was an avid Oakland Athletics Fan from the time the Kansas City ball club came to the Bay Area in 1968. He supported the Davis Aggies women’s basketball team and men’s football team, earning his own parking space near the field.

In his youth, Bill taught young campers to swim as an Eagle Scout in charge of the beginners and earned their parents’ abject gratitude. He was a manager for the Dartmouth Football Team. He was a Bowler in his 30s. He discovered his true passion on the slopes with downhill skiing in Squaw Valley and every other ski resort within two hours of his home. Bill skied until the age of 75, when he was told by his doctor that falling was too risky.

His love of sports extended to card games, including Solitaire and Casino. He was a master Bridge player and played up to the very last stage of his life.

Bill was an avid reader, a devotion he passed on to his children. He loved to read novels involving attorneys and crime, as well as every book ever published on Bridge and beating the stock market.

Among his business associates, Bill Streng was known as a truly inspirational coach and mentor, nurturing young Davis businessmen in their careers. The Davis Chamber of Commerce Annual Business of the Year Award was named for him.

Bill truly loved the community of which he was a true pillar. He was a loyal and active Davis Rotarian into his 90s.

Despite considering himself tone-deaf and while asserting numerous times that the majority of rock ’n’ roll and classical

music was less pleasing than flatulence, he loved John Philip Sousa, all military songs and was a devoted supporter of the Annual West Coast Ragtime Festival.

Bill was chairman of the board of the Bank of Woodland (Business and Professional Bank) from 1983 to 1997. At this time, he retired his psychedelic wardrobe and adopted more conservative solid-color sartorial combinations. However, he was always a man who never felt fully dressed without a necktie.

Bill is survived by his devoted wife Karmen of 49 years, whom Bill liked to call “The Ayatollah Kharmeini,” as well as his children (biological and by marriage), Monica Lillya, a reading specialist, George William Streng V, a photographer, Lenny Husen M.D., a physician, Martin Gallo, an aeronautical engineer and Kevin Gallo, a physical education teacher. He is also survived by four grandchildren: Scott Roberts, Sarina Madan, Mark Lillya and Shane Lillya.

Bill was a man who lived as if he were immortal. His very long life was one marked by good health and STRENGth well into his 80s, a genius mind that rejoiced in the raw materials of land and money, a lack of self-doubt, combined with a quirky sense-of-humor which startled strangers, dismayed his family at times and delighted friends.

His greatest gift was a love of living unrivaled by very few of us.

When closing conversations, as in all else, Bill Streng had his own unique style.

So we will end with those signature signoffs, “Onward and Upward!” and “Very Good, Good-Bye!” In honor of Bill’s love of a good tale, the family requests that you share any stories or remembrances about Bill Streng to DrHusen@gmail.com. It would be a great comfort to hear about his impact on your life. We will publish the photos and memories at a later date online. Let us know if you would like to be contacted with the link to the site.

Show, parade will honor longtime columnist Special to The Enterprise Community members are invited to celebrate Davis Enterprise columnist Bob Dunning’s unprecedented 51-plus-year career by viewing a virtual show on Friday, April 9, on YouTube and by participating in a socially distanced vehicle parade on Saturday, April 24.

The virtual celebration, which runs from 4 to 5 p.m. and can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=d8JQBnfTOAc, will feature highlights of Dunning’s long and storied career, including his tennis match with Bobby Riggs, his many hosting gigs for nonprofit organizations — highlighted by a visit by legendary comedian Bob Hope to raise money for the expansion of the Davis Senior Center — and his coverage of innumerable community, high school and UC Davis sports events.

Special appearances by friends, elected officials and community members are planned. The event, which is being presented with the help and support of Davis Media Access, is hosted by retired city of Davis public relations manager Bob Bowen.

Enterprise file photo

Bob Dunning is pictured at his desk at The Davis Enterprise office in the 1970s, shortly after his hiring.

A previously announced Zoom show has been replaced by the YouTube stream to enable more viewers to enjoy the action.

Then on Saturday, April 24, the celebration will take to the streets with a vehicle parade beginning at 11 a.m. at the Veterans Memorial Center parking lot, 203 E. 14th St. Cars, bikes and other wheeled

contraptions are welcome and decorated vehicles are encouraged.

“Please do not park in the Stephens Davis Library parking lot,” says Nancy Keltner, one of the parade organizers. “We do not want to get in the way of the library’s important curbside service, which it is providing as a COVID safety measure.”

Participants are asked to arrive before 11 a.m. for the line-up, then the parade will make a huge loop featuring 1.4 miles of right turns only. Coming out of the parking lot, vehicles will head west on 14th Street, pass Dunning and his family on the corner of 14th and Oak Avenue, turn north on Oak, then east on Covell Boulevard, south on F Street and west on 14th. Vehicles may go straight or left at any point.

“If you’re having such a good time that you want to make a second loop, please feel free,” says Bowen, who will serve as the parade announcer. “Just show up at the Veterans to line up before 11; we are honoring Bob, so let’s get those engines revvin’!”​ There will be no live spectators, as a safety measure. For questions,

email Keltner at keltner.nancy@ gmail.com.

Lastly, donations are still being accepted to endow a scholarship in Dunning’s name. An annual $1,000 grant will be awarded to a graduating senior in the Davis school district who is considering a career in journalism.

The Davis Odd Fellows Lodge is handling the scholarship contributions, which may be tax-deductible.

The EIN is 47-4578511 and the Charitable Trust number is CT0247740. Make checks payable to “Davis Odd Fellows Helping Hands Inc.” (and write “Celebrating Bob Dunning” on the memo line of your check). Mail contributions to Lea Rosenberg, Odd Fellows Lodge, 415 Second St., Davis, CA 95616.

Donors are asked to specify how they wish their names to appear in the thank-you ad, and those who want a receipt for tax purposes should provide their email address.

VACCINE: Public clinics fill up within hours of being open From Page A1 age to receive a shot.

“What we will do is show residents a list of currently eligible groups and ask if you meet one of these groups. All you need to do is say, ‘Yes’ if you are eligible,” said Tan. “We may ask you for your drivers license or something that shows you are a Yolo County resident. However, if you work in Yolo County and live elsewhere, you can say that at the clinic as well.”

But while eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine expanded Thursday to everyone 50 and over and will expand again in two weeks to everyone 16 and older, appointments will be limited.

“We expect vaccine supply to increase significantly during April, but for those who become newly eligible on April 1, supply will remain very limited,” said Yolo County Health Officer Dr. Aimee Sisson. “Until we see an increase in supply, vaccine appointments will continue to be difficult to come by.”

Said Newsom: “Just because you allow the access, doesn’t mean that everybody can rush and get... a dose. Our biggest constraint continues to be manufactured supply.”

“It’s going to take a number of months for us to exhaust that demand,” he said.

Yolo County plans to continue hosting vaccine clinics for those at highest risk of exposure, serious complications or death from COVID-19, such as the homeless, seniors 65

and up, ag workers, and others. The county also will continue to host public vaccine clinics where currently eligible residents — including those 50 and over — will be able to sign up for an appointment, though spots may fill up more quickly with the expanded eligibility.

Indeed, public clinics planned for Friday and Saturday this week filled up within hours of appointments opening, but residents can still sign up on wait lists by clicking on the eventbrite links for each clinic at www.yolocounty. org/coronavirus-vaccine.

The county recommends that residents look at multiple options for vaccine appointments, including checking with their healthcare providers to see if they’ve expanded eligibility; local community clinics that may be vaccinating non-members; and pharmacies such as CVS, RiteAid, Walgreens and Safeway.

The state’s online vaccine appointment system, MyTurn.Ca.Gov, has also had appointments available for local residents 50 and up this week. Residents interested in securing one should check the website frequently.

Yolo County Supervisor Jim Provenza of Davis said the county is pleased that more county residents will become eligible for vaccines in the coming weeks, but cautioned that “because the supply of vaccines is still too low to give shots to all willing Yolo County residents, it is essential that we

WASTEWATER: It’s still important to stay informed From Page A1 and receiving care. Either way, it’s important for residents to be kept informed so they can take appropriate action to stay well.”

While Davis has maintained a test positivity rate below 1 percent for the past two months, Healthy Davis Together’s communitywide COVID-19 testing continues to identify positive cases and wastewater analysis remains an important detection and prevention tool, officials say.

The wastewater testing looks for data changes over time, so samples are collected from throughout the sewer system twice per week and analyzed in Bischel’s lab.

This data and the data from the city’s wastewater treatment plant, which is monitored daily, are viewed together to determine if the presence of the virus is going up, going down or

staying the same. The findings are updated and shared on the Healthy Davis Together website every Saturday.

Beginning this month, people who have registered to receive community messages through the Yolo Alert system will receive important wastewater updates and the city will also post information on wastewater virus levels to neighborhoods via Nextdoor.

continue to wear masks, maintain physical distancing and avoid gatherings with persons not in our households.

“Yolo County staff and volunteers are getting shots into arms as fast as the vaccines arrive in our county,” Provenza said. “I am optimistic that our supply will increase soon so that we will be able to vaccinate all willing Yolo County residents.”

The county also urges residents who have been vaccinated to continue following public health guidance, including wearing a face covering in public, practicing physical distancing and avoiding gatherings when possible.

Meanwhile, those 65 and older who need help scheduling a vaccine appointment should call the Yolo Healthy Aging Alliance at 530757-5583 for assistance.

Caregivers — formal and informal — can email First 5 Yolo at: COVID@first5yolo. org.

NOTICE OF EVIDENTIARY HEARING FOR PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY’S CUSTOMER DATA ACCESS APPLICATION (A.18-11-015) The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) may hold an evidentiary hearing at the time and place below regarding Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E) Customer Data Access application A.18-11-015.

At this hearing, PG&E, consumer advocacy groups, and other parties to this proceeding testify before a CPUC Administrative Law Judge regarding PG&E’s request. The public can attend and listen to the proceeding but are not allowed to testify.

WHERE AND WHEN WILL THE EVIDENTIARY HEARING BE HELD? In compliance with the Governor’s directive and CPUC’s ongoing efforts to protect customers and community members, there will be no in-person physical location for the evidentiary hearing and will instead hold the hearing virtually. Please monitor the CPUC’s daily calendar (located at www.cpuc.ca.gov) for any changes relating to the evidentiary hearing.

DATE

TIME/LOCATION/REMOTE ACCESS

April 19–21, 23, 26, 2021

This information will be made available on the CPUC’s website at www.cpuc.ca.gov.

WHY IS PG&E REQUESTING THIS RATE INCREASE? On November 26, 2018, PG&E filed its Customer Data Access application with the CPUC and updated its cost forecasts on November 13, 2020. PG&E requested $19.783 million for technology enhancements and to improve access to customers’ usage data. These improvements are intended to make it easier and more secure for customers to authorize PG&E to share their electric energy data with approved third parties, while protecting customers’ right to privacy and protecting against identify theft and online fraud.

HOW COULD THIS AFFECT MY MONTHLY ELECTRIC RATES? Many customers receive bundled electric service from PG&E, meaning they receive electric generation, transmission and distribution services. Based on rates currently in effect, the bill for a typical residential non-CARE customer using 500 kWh per month would increase from $138.86 to $138.91, or 0.03%.

Direct Access and Community Choice Aggregation are unbundled electric service customers who only receive electric transmission and distribution services from PG&E. On average, these customers would see an increase of 0.03%.

Other Departing Load customers do not receive electric generation, transmission or distribution services from PG&E. However, these customers are required to pay certain charges by law or CPUC decisions in the form of exit fees. These customers will not be impacted by this application.

Actual impacts will vary depending on usage.

HOW DOES THE REST OF THIS PROCESS WORK? This application has been assigned to a CPUC Administrative Law Judge who will consider proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process. The Administrative Law Judge will issue a proposed decision that may adopt PG&E’s application, modify it, or deny it. Any CPUC Commissioner may sponsor an alternate decision with a different outcome. The proposed decision, and any alternate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon by the CPUC Commissioners at a public CPUC Voting Meeting.

Parties to the proceeding are currently reviewing PG&E’s application, including the Public Advocates Office, which is an independent consumer advocate within the CPUC that represents customers to obtain the lowest possible rate for service consistent with reliable and safe service levels. For more information about the Public Advocates Office, please call 1-415-703-1584, email PublicAdvocatesOffice@cpuc.ca.gov, or visit PublicAdvocates.cpuc.ca.gov.

Embrace the silver linings

Info exchange W would tone up public health

By Claudia Williams Special to CalMatters

D

isrupting the health care status quo takes courage.

Recently, Assemblyman Jim Wood, who chairs the Health Committee, stood up boldly for a statewide infrastructure for sharing health data to strengthen public health, improve equity, transform MediCal, and improve the quality and affordability of health services.

In the hearing, Wood stated firmly his support for a health information exchange: “Further study or an approach protecting one’s business interest is of absolutely no concern to me. Our priorities are about how to provide better patient care in a more coordinated way as well as obtaining greater population health data.”

He reaffirmed that position in a tweet the next day: “I know that building a workable #HIE will likely be disruptive to the status quo but I want to best serve the state and Californians.”

Although health data exchange has increased in California, we still lack the kind of comprehensive shared, statewide health information system, partnered with the state, that other regions have developed, including New York, Indiana and Colorado.

Regional leaders representing community health plans, health care organizations and physicians spoke at the hearing on the benefits statewide connectivity could deliver for California.

As the hearing speakers outlined, the tragic challenges we have faced in the past year — from the pandemic to wildfires — show how critical and essential this infrastructure is.

Dolores Green, representing the Riverside County Medical Association, emphasized that small practices play a critical role caring for patients during the pandemic and are often in the dark about their patients’ COVID-19 test results and vaccination status in our state.

hat a difference a year makes.

At this time last year, Downtown Davis looked more like “Ghost Town Davis,” with rows of empty parking spots and darkened businesses.

We’d very much retreated to our homes and started the difficult tasks of adapting to life under a global pandemic.

Everything just felt so uncertain.

Here we are now, with the sun out and Yolo County in the orange tier. Limited indoor dining has returned, and outdoor dining continues to be popular. People are visiting small businesses more frequently. More of us are stepping outside to enjoy the warmer weather. The normalcy we’ve craved is slowly coming back, along with a community feeling of optimism.

Of course, we still have a ways to go and we must continue following publichealth guidelines. We have to be careful because we’re not out of the woods with COVID. As we reflect on the sacrifices and sadness we’ve endured over the past year, however, many silver linings have emerged. Even through isolation, we’ve seen the strength of our community through its resiliency, creativity and tremendous heart.

These feelings of hope and positivity will be felt throughout UC Davis’ annual Picnic Day, which will be held virtually on April 17. This year’s theme is “Discovering Silver Linings,” and in this online open house of UC Davis you’ll see the Aggie Spirit that shines across our campus. I hope you’ll point your Web browser to picnicday.ucdavis.edu and come join the fun.

In the meantime, I’ve been thinking about some of the silver linings I’ve found over the past year.

To begin with, just the fact that we’re having a Picnic Day 2021 shows how

in otherwise isolated days.

In a typical year, our Freshman Decision Day brings about 8,000 prospective students and their families to UC Davis.

We couldn’t do that in 2020, so we moved to an online experience called “Aggie Experience Live!” Though we missed seeing all these students on campus, the bright side is that we were able to accommodate more people than ever.

determined our community is to share and celebrate our traditions.

Picnic Day has faced other trying times since it was founded in 1909. An outbreak of hoof-and-mouth disease among campus cattle herds forced its cancellation in 1924. Picnic Day was also silent during the World War II years of 1943 through 1945.

Picnic Day also had to pivot to a virtual event in 2020 due to COVID-19, as did our signature Whole Earth Festival.

As the largest student-run event in the nation, Picnic Day is a massive undertaking. Our students organize and run the event and put an enormous amount of work to make every year a special one.

So, I give tremendous credit to all the volunteers this year who will make sure the show goes on. They are determined to make it the best possible day in these disrupted times.

This year will be memorable, no doubt. Plenty of adventure and inspiration await through musical and dance performances. You can learn how to start new crafts and hobbies and watch demonstrations from departments all across UC Davis. And if you need to stretch, don’t miss the chance to take a virtual yoga class on Picnic Day. This kind of connectedness has been a silver lining for me this year. Here’s another example of finding opportunity

O

ur weeklong event attracted tens of thousands of unique viewers to our “Aggie Experience Live!” websites. Participants had the chance to meet faculty and fellow students and ask questions about academic programs and campus life. It was definitely a hit in the digital realm.

And just recently, UC Davis was pitted against Cardiff University of Wales for the Eric Conn Biochemistry Quiz. This Trans-Atlantic event via Zoom would’ve otherwise been challenging to hold in person, but it ultimately showed the kinds of opportunities in remote learning. The students not only displayed their expertise in questions related to biochemistry, but were also able to connect with talented, like-minded students a whole other world away.

The last year has made us appreciate some of what we might take for granted — the ability to see a concert, go to the movies, cheer on our sports teams, throw a dinner party, hug our friends and family. I’m hopeful that we can continue to take an attitude of gratitude when COVID-19 has become a memory.

In the meantime, let’s continue to follow public health guidelines, socially distance, wear our masks and get vaccinated. More silver linings await.

his contrasts with Maryland where providers get regular, comprehensive reports on their patients’ test results and vaccination status from the statewide health information exchange infrastructure. Green called for “a combination of urgency and pragmatism” as the Legislature develops policies to accelerate a health information exchange.

If crafted deliberately to support the needs of the Medi-Cal program, a statewide health information exchange strategy can also bring millions of federal dollars into the state. Other states have tapped into this funding stream, and it’s time for California to do the same.

Jarrod McNaughton from Inland Empire Health Plan stressed that the CalAIM program to transform Medi-Cal will not be successful unless there is ubiquitous and seamless data sharing between health plans, health care providers and social service entities.

As Wood, a Democrat from Santa Rosa, reinforced, the need for sharing health data in California is ultimately “about the patient and improving the care they receive. … The patient is the custodian of the record. The record is not the property of the plan or the provider.”

This hearing marked a pivotal moment for health data exchange in our state. As suggested by the hearing speakers, I am excited to see health information exchange policy that: n Focuses on improving patient care by closing data sharing gaps. n Embraces urgency and pragmatism by leveraging existing statewide and regional health information exchange capacity. n Takes advantage of available federal funding to the greatest extent possible.

There is more consensus than ever that sharing health data across California is the right thing to do — and something we need to do right away.

Thanks to Wood’s leadership, there is hope for a more connected California sometime very soon.

Letters SB1 Voting Rights Act Our democracy is in urgent need of repair. We need nationwide standards that allow all citizens to vote safely (and conveniently). Voting is the critical linchpin of democracy and we as a nation should be ashamed that we are allowing laws to be created in some states that keep groups of citizens from voting or that require them to stand in line for hours on end to get to their polling places. Enough!

Congress needs to pass HR1/SB1 For the People Act. This important legislation would provide a national guarantee of free and fair elections without voter suppression and would restore the full protections of the Voting Rights Act. Although HR1 has passed the House of Representatives, sadly SB1 has not passed the Senate because of the threat of a filibuster. The filibuster is an antiquated holdover used in the 1960s to obstruct Civil Rights legislation. It has no place in the modern Senate, particularly now that it’s being used to deny voting rights.

Katherine Holmes Davis

One year into pandemic, Davis is home The pandemic changed my life. I realize how important family, friends and arts are.

My niece Betty moved back to Sacramento from Boston last March.

She brought masks, gloves, sanitizer and chocolate banana bread to our house in Davis. The first time she came, she stood 6 feet away in front of our door, with an anxious masked eye-smile, and said, “I don’t really know how to do this.”

With just one glance, she gave me a vaccine against loneliness that would last for life.

She lent me a novel, “On Earth, We Are Briefly Gorgeous” by Ocean Vuong. It was in the form of letters written by a son to his illiterate mother. I have been writing letters to my mother in Taiwan for years. Vuong wrote: “Beauty, I learned, was what we risked our life for.” Beauty is essential.

I was scared. Betty kept drawing me slowly out of my shell.

Last October, she, my sister and my husband took me to Lake Tahoe for my birthday. It was the only trip I made during the pandemic. Nature gave me the balm I needed most.

Last November, we celebrated Thanksgiving together. We got to eat more with fewer people.

This January, she gave me a big hug and I froze. Did Governor Newsom already declare that it was OK to hug?

My younger niece Rebecca went to Taiwan for Chinese New Year in January of 2020. “You are like a mother to me,” she wrote in a Mother’s Day card that she sent me from Taiwan. I am childless. This was the first Mother’s Day card I had ever gotten.

I was walking in UC Davis Arboretum when a dog bit me two days before shelter-in-place last March. The white owner claimed that she did not see me, as if Asians were invisible.

Some Taiwanese friends returned to Taiwan for good. Not I. Here is home. I am going nowhere.

I write to express my deep gratitude to everyone who has touched my life.

Just writing this makes me optimistic.

Down the digestive-tract hatch

By Sara Thompson Special to the Enterprise

W

hen we eat and drink, we rarely think about the digestive process beyond just the taste of our food.

From beginning to end, our digestive tract is almost 30 feet long and can take several days to process the food we eat.

Designed to extract as many nutrients and fluids as possible from the things we eat, each organ has its own specific structures to help with that function.

Digestion begins before we even put the first thing in our mouth. Smelling our food makes us salivate, which helps to soften our food for chewing and is the beginning of breaking it down. After we swallow, the next place our food goes it to the stomach. The stomach is able to expand and mixes acids and other enzymes with our food to further break it down.

Food usually digests in the stomach for about one hour but can take up to five hours depending on the size and content. Next, our food enters the small intestines.

Our small intestines are the longest part of our digestive system, measuring over two-thirds of the whole length of the system.

The walls of the small intestine are covered with tiny projections called villi and are also themselves covered with microvilli.

The use of both villi and microvilli greatly increases

Explorit Science Center the surface area of the small intestine to better absorb nutrients. The many turns of the small intestine are to slow down the contents as they pass through, providing more time for nutrient absorption. Passage through the small intestine takes on average about four hours, sometimes taking over eight hours to fully empty.

The large intestine is the last place nutrients from our food can be absorbed.

Bacteria in our large intestine further break down sugars through fermentation, making them easier to absorb. Time spent in the large intestine is highly variable between individuals but can take on average between 30-40 hours to fully break down the last nutrients until any remnants are expelled from the body.

Many other organs and systems in the body contribute to the digestive tract as well. Some produce the acids and bile for initial digestion. Insulin is created to help with sugar absorption. Even the appendix, thought to be a vestigial organ is now believed to be a storage space for important gut bacteria.

Campers in this week’s All About You camp learned about the different body systems and how to keep them healthy.

Campers put together a skeleton, learned about nutrition, and even watched the dissection of sheep organs! Explorit has extended its After-school camps through May, and plenty of spaces are still available.

Women are still underrepresented in this medium where, in the last 13 years, 4.8% of directors have been female. However, change is happening. Research from the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative reports that 10.6% of the directors of 2019’s top movies were women — the highest in more than a decade.

For 20 years, The LUNA Bar brand has inspired women, championed change and demanded equality.

These values fueled LUNA to create “LUNAFEST, the first all-female traveling film festival, now in its 20th season and screening virtually in 2021.

Tax-help program shifts to group assistance and DYI Special to The Enterprise SACRAMENTO — United Way California Capital Region will shift its free-tax-help program from virtual one-on-one assistance to virtual group assistance and a do-it-yourself option, due to a rise in demand and the new filing deadline of May 17.

Eligible households can now visit YourFreeTaxPrep. org to file taxes online for free by themselves or to sign up for a free April 10 Zoom webinar where United Way’s IRS-certified volunteers will assist the group in filing their taxes online. Space is limited in the Zoom session, so eligible residents should sign up as soon as possible.

United Way’s virtual one-onone appointments are booked through the rest of tax season.

Households throughout the Sacramento region are eligible for free virtual help preparing taxes and claiming credits this year, saving an average of $200 in preparer fees and earning up to $8,000 in credits. More households are eligible to participate in United Way California Capital Region’s

Free Tax Prep program this year, including those earning $65,000 or less in 2020. Qualified households can prepare tax returns online for free and claim the maximum tax credits for which they are eligible, including the federal and state Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC and CalEITC).

“After a year where many people lost employment and income, it’s more important than ever for households in our region to take advantage of this program that helps people save money on tax preparation fees and ensures they apply for the maximum refund and credits for which they are eligible,” said Stephanie Bray, president and CEO, United Way California Capital Region.

This year, more people are eligible to receive the CalEITC and Young Child Tax Credit, including qualifying ITIN holders, after Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1876. Households may be eligible for CalEITC if the taxpayer is at least 18 years old and the household earned less than

$30,000 in 2020.

Many CalEITC-eligible households are not legally required to file taxes due to low income; however, if they file, they can claim state and federal credits.

less than $150,000 of income. For those who have already filed, guidance will soon be provided by the IRS. Amended returns should not be filed at this time for these adjustments.

Filers also may qualify for the new Golden State Stimulus if they have filed their 2020 tax return and qualify for CalEITC or hold an ITIN and make less than $75,000.

The Artery presents artist book exhibit Special to The Enterprise The Artery presents “CONTENT,” the first artist book exhibit of its kind in Davis. This juried exhibit showcasing local and national artists extends from today through Saturday, May 1.

The show was conceived by Adele Shaw, who taught bookbinding classes in Davis for six years.

She and Nikki Thompson of Deconstructed Artichoke Press shared the judging duties.

From 120 entries, they chose 45 books based on excellence in craftsmanship, experimentation in the development of the physical book and unique content.

These artists expressed their viewpoints and challenged the idea, content and structure of the traditional book.

In addition to the juried entries, three invited artists will show their exceptional creations. San Francisco artist, Ward Schumaker, presents his book, “Catalog,” which is a one-of-akind hand-painted book.

Another San Francisco artist, Paul Madonna, will show the evolution of his limited-edition illustrated novel,

“Close Enough for the Angels.”

Special guest juror Thompson also contributed her newest book, “To Vote As We Work.”

SHORTS: Stories are ripe with poignant messages From Page B1 deaf-blind man who needs an assist in finding the correct bus to take him home.

(Why such a vulnerable individual would be wandering New York’s mean streets alone, late at night, is something we can’t worry about; this is a parable.)

As Roland develops this heartwarming tale, we’re reminded anew that — often — the best way to help yourself, is to help somebody else.

High-profile casting is the first thing noticed about writer/director Elvira Lind’s “The Letter Room.” Oscar Isaac — one of our newest “Star Wars” champions, among many other roles — stars as Richard, an empathetic corrections officer recently transferred to the mailroom in a maximumsecurity prison.

All incoming and outgoing letters must be scanned and scrutinized. Richard, who lives alone, soon becomes captivated by the warm and sensitive letters written by a woman (Alia Shawkat) to one of the prisoners on death row — who never writes her back. This seems grievously unfair to Richard, particularly since another death-row prisoner pines for letters he never receives.

Isaac’s performance is a masterpiece of subtlety and silence, as this inherently kind and uncomplicated man struggles to make peace with his new role.

Israeli writer/director Tomer Shushan’s “White Eye” is harder to fathom.

Omer (Daniel Gad) finds his stolen white bicycle locked outside the entrance to a back-street meatpacking plant. He attempts to get police help; they

Yunes (Dawit Tekelaeb) soon comes outside and claims that he’s the actual owner, having purchased the bicycle from a third party.

With the police now taking an active interest, Omer realizes — too late — that he has put something much larger into motion, because Yunes and his fellow workers are illegal Eritrean migrants.

The conclusion, however — Omer’s ultimate act — is bewildering.

“Two Distant Strangers,” from co-directors Travon

Free and Martin Desmond Roe, is by far the most brutal of these five candidates.

It’s also the least original, borrowing its trapped-in-atime-loop premise from several recent films and, most particularly, 2019’s “See You Yesterday” and “Replay,” an early firstseason episode in Jordan Peele’s rebooted “Twilight Zone.”

Carter (Joey Bada$$) wakens from a lovely night spent with potential new girlfriend Perri (Zaria). He passes on breakfast, wanting to get home to take care of his patient dog. Upon hitting the street, he’s targeted — for no reason — by

a viciously racist street cop (Andrew Howard, a true nightmare as Officer Merk). The confrontation goes very badly awry.

Then Carter wakens from a lovely night spent with Perri, troubled by an awful nightmare. And it happens again. And again.

And again and again.

Carter can alter minor details, but nothing changes the eventual outcome.

Although it’s tempting to wonder why the universe is picking on Carter, that would be missing the point; he’s a metaphor for a social condition. He can’t change the outcome,

because American society won’t change the outcome.

This becomes clear when the film concludes with a text crawl of 65 names ripped from recent headlines: all Black citizens guilty of nothing but leading their own lives.

Of course — of course — the message is crucially important, but the strident tone is off-putting. And the story’s climax, frankly, leaves us to assume that there is no hope: that the Officer Merks are omnipotent and unchanging.

That’s pretty damn depressing; I’d much rather cling to the more optimistic takeaway from

“Seeing Through.”

Which brings us to Palestinian-born British filmmaker Farah Nabulsi’s “The Present,” easily my choice for this category’s winner. Her sensitive, beautifully composed, slyly nuanced film makes its points without hitting viewers over the head with a sledgehammer.

On its face, the story is simple: Yousef (Saleh Bakri) wishes to surprise his wife (Mariam Basha) with an extravagant present for their anniversary.

He and their young daughter Yasmine (Mariam Kanj, such a marvelous presence) therefore embark on a shopping expedition.

But they’re Palestinian, and this “simple” task involves navigating an Israeli checkpoint — actually Checkpoint 300, just outside Bethlehem — where condescending, taunting, deliberately cruel Israeli soldiers go out of their way to harass Yousef.

He accepts this calmly — Bakri blending genial patience with smiles and humor, not entirely concealing a lifetime’s worth of similar humiliation — knowing that it’s important to show Yasmine how one must behave.

This 25-minute film is by turns mesmerizing, unsettling, heartbreaking and hold-your-breath suspenseful. Nabulsi frames most events from the little girl’s point of view, and her emotional shift — as she comes to grips with their lot in life — is silently tragic.

And yet Nabulsi concludes this saga with one of the most perfect resolutions I’ve ever seen. Not a dry eye in the house.

‘Wolfwalkers’ is quite an enchanting fable Ecologically themed story adapted from Irish folklore

By Derrick Bang Enterprise film critic The best animation houses have their own distinctive appearance, pacing and storytelling approach.

Classic 1940s and ’50s Warner Bros. cartoons looked nothing like their Disney cousins, and nobody would confuse one of Hayao Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli efforts with a Pixar entry.

The same is true of Ireland’s Tomm Moore and Ross Stewart, who — as artists, writers or directors under the Cartoon Saloon banner — have previously brought us 2009’s “The Secret of Kells” and 2014’s “Song of the Sea,” both of which earned Academy Award nominations.

Their unique touch is equally evident in “Wolfwalkers,” which they’ve codirected and co-written, with scripting assistance from Will Collins and Jericca Cleland.

As with the earlier films, this new animated opus — which also just picked up an Oscar nod — is steeped in Irish mythology and folklore, and includes a strong environmental message.

There’s also a rather nasty jab at Oliver Cromwell’s 17th-century invasion and subsequent occupation of Ireland, for those with a historical bent.

(Some transgressions never are forgiven, and the Irish have very long memories.)

The year is 1650, the setting a British-occupied walled hamlet in Kilkenny.

Rule is maintained by the oppressively Puritan — and ironically named — Lord Protector (voiced by Simon

‘Wolfwalkers’ Starring (voices): Honor Kneafsey, Eva Whittaker, Sean Bean, Simon McBurney, Tommy Tiernan and Maria Doyle Kennedy Rating: PG, for dramatic intensity, and sequences of violence and peril Available via: Apple TV+ McBurney) and his soldiers. The “heathen” Irish townsfolk are essentially feudal serfs: the men tending sheep and working the land, the women enduring back-breaking labor in the cringingly named “scullery.”

Over time, the Lord Protector has ordered that the surrounding woods be systematically cleared away as a means of “protecting” the town from “vicious” wolves.

This does not sit well with the wisest townsfolk, steeped in local lore, who understand that a symbiotic balance must be maintained between people, forest and wolves.

The wolfpack has long been protected by the powerful, magic-laden Moll MacTíre (Maria Doyle Kennedy), a “wolfwalker” who is human when awake, and transforms into a wolf when her human form sleeps. Aside from her many other gifts — most related to a wolf ’s extraordinarily enhanced senses — Moll has the ability to heal wounds.

In the town, 11-year-old Robyn Goodfellowe (Honor Kneafsey) idolizes her father, Bill (Sean Bean), a hunter and trapper who has been hired by the Lord Protector to rid the woods of wolves. Robyn regards her father’s work as a sacred calling; she has no reason to think otherwise,

After spending some time with the forest-born Mebh (left), the town-bred Robyn begins to realize that her assumptions about her walled town’s relationship with the surrounding woods are not only wrong, but harmful. having been raised in his embrace. She longs to join him during his daily forays into the woods, but children are forbidden to venture beyond the walls.

Like the Lord Protector and his soldiers, Bill and Robyn are British; this does not endear them to the Irish locals.

Needless to say, Robyn manages to sneak into the woods, accompanied by her beloved pet falcon Merlyn.

Her subsequent close encounter with the wolfpack proves unusual, to say the least; what initially seems terrifying — if not potentially fatal — becomes puzzling, even wondrous, when she’s confronted

by Moll’s rambunctious 9-year-old daughter, Mebh Óg MacTíre (Eva Whittaker).

The irrepressibly energetic girl also is a wolfwalker, with an instinctive distrust of anything “townie.” Although initially wary of each other, the two soon bond — and Robyn begins to understand that her father’s calling is far from noble.

But how to convince him?

This rising conflict between father and daughter becomes even more hazardous, due to their precarious position with the Lord Protector. On top of which, an additional crisis: Mebh’s mother has been asleep for a long, long time — meaning that something has prevented her wolf form from returning to the pack’s magical glade, concealed behind a waterfall and forest overgrowth.

Mebh is beside herself: Where could her mother be?

This is pretty heavy stuff for a family-friendly animated film, and be advised: Moore and Stewart build their saga to a suspenseful and quite perilous third-act climax. Those who fall under this story’s folkloric premise — and it’s hard not to succumb — will be at the edge of their seats, heart in mouth, during the final 25 minutes.

Prior to that, the filmmakers have plenty of fun with the developing relationship

between the two girls.

Robyn is proud, intelligent and stubborn: just as feisty, as a newly hatched ecoactivist, as she was a would-be crossbow hunter.

Mebh, in turn, is a snarky, quick-to-anger ball of energy; at times, she’s quite hilarious.

A lengthy sequence wherein Mebh teaches Robyn the “way of the forest” is quite enchanting.

The girls’ respective appearances reflect their origins. Robyn and her father are angular, with sharp edges, much like the town itself: all black bars, rectangles, squares and pointed features that convey its oppressive character.

Thick, dark linework subtly enhances the notion that Robyn is trapped in a cage (an ironic contrast to her falcon Merlyn, whom she’d never put in a cage).

The forest, in contrast, is lush, painterly, organic and laden with greens, yellows and oranges. Everything is curved and rounded; Mebh’s flowing orange hair allows her to curl up into a literal ball when sleeping.

The townsfolk — particularly the soldiers — have similar hard, angry edges; the wolves and forest animals are sketchy and “loose.”

As time passes, Robyn’s appearance shifts and turns softer, as she becomes one with the forest.

As was the case with the first two entries in Moore’s “Irish folklore trilogy,” this new film’s music is a blend of French composer Bruno Coulais’ alternately gentle and suspenseful underscore, and folk tunes by the Irish band Kíla. The latter, although created for this film, sound and feel periodauthentic.

At a time when computer animation has become ubiquitous, this film’s visual palette is a strong reminder that nothing looks as lush — as uniquely “warm” — as individually hand-drawn cells.

“Wolfwalkers” is a true animated tour-de-force.

FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 2021 B3

SHORTS: Animated films speak in universal language From Page B2 Moving to the animated entries, I’m once again impressed by the fact that all five tell their stories without spoken dialogue (aside from occasional grunts and whistles). I love the universality of this approach and the notion that people all over the world can derive the same message from each story.

Assuming there is a message. Let’s quickly dispense with two nominees that suggest Academy voters may have been smoking too many funny cigarettes.

French director Adrien Merigeau’s “Genius Loci” is 16 butt-numbing minutes of random animated anarchy, with shapes, images and vaguely human figures sliding, dissolving and wafting in and out of each other. The press notes explain it thusly: “One night Reine, a young loner, sees among the urban chaos a moving oneness that seems alive, like some sort of guide.”

Yeah, right.

Korean director Erick Oh’s meticulously detailed “Opera” is breathtakingly impressive to look at — truly stunning — but any attempt to derive “story” is

The grief-stricken couple in “If Anything Happens I Love You” can’t find the way to move beyond an event that has ripped them apart. doomed to failure. The camera begins at the apex of a massive triangle filled, as we move slowly downward, with (I’m guessing) the totality of the human experience. As we eventually reach the bottom, everybody apparently goes to war; an uppermost clock resets, and the cycle begins anew.

Yeah, right.

Message to the Academy: Incomprehensibility is not,

by itself, artistically remarkable.

Icelandic director Gísli Darri Halldórsson’s “YesPeople” is frivolous fun: a droll look at three sets of folks living in an apartment complex.

The exaggerated animation style — particularly everybody’s long, triangular noses — is hilarious by itself; their whimsical interactions, recognizably mundane, are the icing on

the cake.

We meet a cheerfully giddy music teacher whose teenage son sleeps through class, because he stays up all night playing video games; the neglected wife of a rotund businessman, who — while he’s at work each day — smokes and drinks too much; and the libidinous wife of the caretaker, who dutifully spends hours shoveling the snow away from the entrance.

There’s no message here: just ordinary people being their silly selves behind closed doors.

We’ve all come to expect that this category wouldn’t be complete without something from Pixar. Madeline Sharafian’s “Burrow” is the charming saga of a young rabbit embarking on the ambitious task of building the burrow of her dreams, despite having no idea how to proceed.

Between accidentally disturbing other underground neighbors, along with other excavational mishaps, the poor little rabbit digs herself deeper and deeper into trouble … before finally learning one of life’s most important lessons: There’s no shame in asking for help.

Sometimes, though, people feel that they’ve sunk beyond salvation.

The husband and wife depicted in Will McCormack and Michael Govier’s “If Anything Happens I Love You” are rendered in dusty, charcoal-esque, sepia-hued browns and blacks.

(Brighter colors are employed sparingly and to considerable impact.)

They sit across from each other at a long dinner table,

eating silently while a single flower droops in a central vase.

Our initial impression is of a couple having fallen out of love, but no; the story goes deeper. Their unseen souls — their spirits — appear above them: angular black shadows arguing, pleading, raging at each other. These phantasms also illustrate unspoken desires and memories; it quickly becomes clear that this is a parable on grief, and the path forward.

But grief over what?

The answer is delivered with impressive emotional sensitivity and animated nuance. Brace yourself, because this one’s very hard to watch. It also deserves to win the Oscar.

These road-show packages — live-action entries in one program, animation a separate ticket — open today at Sacramento’s Crest Theater. Beginning April 20, they’ll also be available via iTunes, Amazon Prime and other video-ondemand outlets.

Annual UC Davis fashion show returns virtually this year Special to The Enterprise The Fashion and Design Society’s annual fashion show hits the virtual runway at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 15. “Uncharted” will feature clothing collections created by 10 students in the UC Davis department of design’s “Signature Collections” course.

The student-run fashion show is usually held during UC Davis’ annual campuswide celebration on Picnic Day. Due to COVID-19, “Uncharted” will be presented in advance of Picnic Day this year.

A video recording of the show will be available later

for viewing as part of the virtual Picnic Day celebration on Saturday, April 17, at picnicday.ucdavis.edu.

“This year, ‘DES 179 Signature Collection’ students not only displayed their creativity with their collections but also with the videos they developed for our very first virtual fashion show,” said Gozde GoncuBerk, assistant professor of design.

“During the 10-week online class, the students created their garments in their home studios and the results are designs that range from avant-garde sculptural looks to whimsical

silhouettes.

Zero-waste designs, 3D fabric manipulations, couture patterns and functionality are some of the highlights of this year’s virtual fashion show.”

In presenting this year’s collections, undergraduate student Olivia Simms researched a number of virtual formats.

“The challenge was determining which platform would best serve the needs of all the student designers and their computers and technical equipment,” Simms said. “We agreed that Twitch would be easy to edit within and make any last-minute

adjustments since there are always last-minute changes in every fashion show.”

Aggies out to clip Eagles for postseason berth UCD football is 0-fer vs. Eastern Washington

By Bob Dunning

Lan Larison breaks the goal line to score a touchdown in the Aggies win over Cal Poly. The Idaho native scored a pair and rushed for 95 yards last week against Idaho State.

Enterprise staff writer The Big Sky Conference has 13 members who play football.

Before North Dakota left last year, it had 14.

UC Davis, of course, is one of those members.

Over the years, the Aggies own numerous wins over Big Sky members, among them: Montana, Montana State, Idaho, Idaho State, Portland State, Cal Poly, Northern Arizona, Northern Colorado, North Dakota, Southern Utah, Weber State and Sacramento State.

But the Aggies have never beaten Eastern Washington. Their series record with the high-flying Eagles stands at 0-8 as EWU comes to town for a Saturday spring football showdown, with the winner virtually assured of an FCS playoff berth at season’s end.

Owen Yancher/ Enterprise file photo

Game time at UC Davis Health Stadium is 1 p.m.

Both teams enter with 3-1 marks, but, as it turns out, this will be UCD’s final regularseason game after Cal Poly announced earlier this week that it was suspending its football program until fall after consecutive losses to the Aggies (73-24) and EWU (62-10). The official reason was “injuries,” but lack of competitiveness may have entered into the decision as well.

Eastern enters the game No. 9 in the Stats FCS poll, while the Aggies are listed at No. 11.

While the rankings are unofficial, the NCAA will select 16 teams later this month for a playoff that leads to the national championship game May 16 in Frisco, Texas.

No. 3 Weber State, 3-0, is likely to receive the automatic bid that goes to the league champion, with the UCD-EWU winner in strong position for an at-large berth. Even Saturday’s loser, if the game is close, could

Everybody knows their name Gross & Co. have built a West Coast women’s basketball dynasty

By Owen Yancher Enterprise sports editor “They’ve built a bit of a dynasty over at Davis,” ESPN analyst Andy Landers said during the pregame show.

And the former Georgia Bulldogs women’s basketball mentor and four-time National Coach of the Year wasn’t kidding.

That was prior to UC Davis’ tip-off with Missouri State last week — a nationally televised contest in the opening round of the NCAA women’s hoops tournament. It was a game the Aggies would eventually drop, 70-51, to the No. 5 Lady Bears — a sour ending to what had been a rollercoaster of a season for head coach Jennifer Gross and the Big West Conference champion Ags. Along the way to earning its fifthstraight conference title, UCD learned to roll with the punches.

With gyms shuttered, Gross’ squad spent the summer shooting hoops outdoors. That is, until the city began to remove rims from backboards as part of pandemic precautions.

Eventually, they were given the green light to resume limited, indoor training. But even those privileges (which only allowed for several players indoors at once) were soon revoked, often on just hours’ notice, under Yolo County Health restrictions.

“It was upsetting,” Aggie forward Kayla Konrad told The Enterprise back in November 2020. “You’re out there working with what you have and each time you try to do something, something else gets taken away.”

Opening Day came on Nov. 25 when the Aggies’ hosted the University of San Francisco in a contest many thought would never be played under pandemic conditions.

A rollercoaster season saw the UC Davis women’s basketball team sidelined for 59 days by Yolo County health restrictions, only to return to play and win a fifth straight conference title. looked like light was beginning to shine at the end of the tunnel as life was slowly returning to normal in Aggieland.

The coronavirus had other plans.

In the midst of a post-Thanksgiving surge of cases, Yolo County’s Health Officer, Aimee Sisson, pulled the plug.

And for the next 59 days, the sidelined Aggies collectively held their breath — hoping for a reversal of the local order that would lead to the cancellation of their next 13 games.

It wasn’t until Jan. 22, two months later, that they’d finally return to the court, taking on Big West Conference opponents that were already halfway through their league schedule.

“We’re just happy to be playing again,”

Gross told The Enterprise. “We’re not too concerned about what happens; we’re just ready to compete. Our (women) have been so disciplined and sacrificed so much.

“And we’re tired of playing against ourselves.”

What happened next was more than impressive.

The Aggies would bulldoze their way to a 9-1 conference finish — their lone loss against a Hawaii team in Honolulu they would return to the court to beat the following day. Big West Tournament play was a breeze, with senior Cierra Hall named conference MVP after averaging 14 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists per night.

Davis High swamps Herd

By Owen Yancher Enterprise sports editor ELK GROVE — Junior Ryan Pfeifer led a comeback anchor leg in the 200 medley relay Wednesday as Davis High shellacked Elk Grove, 114-50, in Delta League boys swimming action at Wackford Aquatic Complex.

With the Devil boys trailing after three legs of the meet-opening relay, Pfeifer erased a 4-second DHS deficit on his 50 freestyle swim. His 22.5-second split saw Davis finish more than a second ahead of The Herd at 1:47.67.

“That was a swim that really set the tone for the meet early,” sixth-year head coach John Varley said. “And from there out, the guys were amped.”

DHS went on to sweep every remaining event, save for the 100 backstroke, with victories via: Trey Doten (200 free, 1:54.34); Evan Rieger (200 IM, 2:05.55); Jackson Harris (50 freestyle, 23.24); Justice Baoerjin (100 butterfly, 56.76); Brock Sippola (100 freestyle, 50.17); Pfeifer (500 free, 5:16.17); and

Turner wins national wrestling title Enterprise staff

24-16 overall record with 12 pins.

The DHS wrestling season is set to kick off on April 12.

CORALVILLE, Iowa — Competing unranked and unseeded at the 2021 USA Wrestling Girls Nationals this past weekend in Iowa, Davis High freshman Avangeline Turner won a national title at the 16-under level, competing at 138 pounds.

The younger sister of DHS wrestling star Adrienna Turner — a recent Grand View University commit and the nation’s No. 1 ranked female at 127 pounds — Avangeline also competed in the Junior Division Freestyle Showcase, placing eighth, as well as the Folkstyle competition, where she finished sixth overall.

The younger Turner, who trains locally with Central Catholic Wrestling Club, beat several nationally ranked athletes on her way to the podium, including Oregon state champion, Tyler Richardson, who was ranked sixth nationally.

Already drawing attention from collegiate programs, she holds a

DHS boys golf Logan Green carded Davis’ low round of 35 as the Devil boys beat Inderkum by 11 strokes Tuesday at El Macero Country Club, 206-217.

“He’s solid, day in, day out, no matter the conditions,” head coach Zeb Becker said of Green. “Between matches and practices he’s only had two over-par rounds out of approximately 15 events.”

On the windy afternoon, Davis’ other scoring rounds came via Ryan Firpo (37), Braeden Schimmel (40), Andre Zhang (44) and Rowan Shankarappa (50).

DHS hits the links again on Tuesday, April 13, when the Devils host rival Jesuit High for a 2:30 p.m. round at El Macero.

Local

sports roundup

UCD polo postponed The Aggies’ two Friday water polo matches against UC San Diego have been postponed.

In a release Thursday, UCSD said

the decision to hold off the matches was made “out of an abundance of caution due to contact tracing within the UCSD program following last weekend’s contests vs. UC Santa Barbara.”

Ranked 11th nationally, the Davis women (8-4) are coming off back-toback victories over Long Beach State at Schaal Aquatic Center, including a thrilling 10-9 shootout win last Friday.

UCD hosts Fresno Pacific for a pair of matches on Saturday, April 17, at noon and 3 p.m.

UCD equestrian UC Davis equestrian freshman Carly Sweeney was named the program’s first All-American in its three-year history on Thursday morning, earning honorable mention honors in equitation on the flat as announced by the National Collegiate Equestrian Association.

“It is exciting to see Carly’s efforts rewarded this season by being named UC Davis’ first All-American,” Head Coach Jessie Weisinger said. “Carly is a strong, smart rider with beautiful equitation and has adapted well to the flat format as a freshman. We are looking forward to watching her grow.”

DEFENSE: DHS football squad trying to meet its own high standards From Page B4 abbreviated roster has done little to quell the team’s uncompromising spirit.

“I feel like we’ve got the 23 toughest guys that we need to have,” Brown says. “And we’ve got the right 23 guys on this team.

We’ve just gotta find a way to tighten up some of the nuts and bolts here and there and get some of those things done.”

Davis has been ramping up in practice this week to face off against Sheldon away from home.

Led by longtime area coach Chris Nixon, the Huskies are yet to play this spring, due to COVID cancellations. They last fell to the locals, 47-7 in 2019.

Any Devil knows the importance

of the game is less about the opponent and more about how the Blue Crew can improve on past performances.

“Every week at practice is

extremely important,” Brown adds. “The opponent this week, Sheldon, is the most important game on our schedule because it’s the next one on the schedule. It

always takes your best effort every single week.

“Any night in the Delta League is going to be a tough outing. You gotta be ready to go each week.”

Even after a strong showing from the Blue Devil secondary against Pleasant Grove last Friday (a 24-21 setback), the group is not satisfied with the few mistakes made.

“They understand that it’s a high standard,” Brown explains.

“They hold themselves to a different standard than what the outside looks at. I think most coaches would say, ‘Hey, you got two interceptions in the secondary. You knocked down a couple of deep balls. Great game.’ But I think the kind of group that we have here and the kind of

aspirations they have for themselves means that they’re really shooting for perfection each game.”

The ultimate goal this week will be to find the consistency that the Devils have lacked in their first two outings.

“If we can just put together a whole game,” Brown says, “that’s what we’re shooting for. And that’s the most important thing for practice this week. A complete game top-to-bottom.”

The Blue Devils (0-2) will take on the Huskies at 7:30 p.m. in Elk Grove with a strong week of hard work behind them and progress on their mind.

SWAMPS: ‘Strange year’ for Devils

another invite to Eugene down the road. n Canadian swat team … North Vancouver product Stobbart ranked 16th in the nation for the Aggies, averaging 2.67 blocks per game.

Time and again, the 6-foot-3 UCD swat machine embarrassed Aggie opponents. Eight times, she tallied three-ormore blocks, including a mammoth, record-setting nine block outing against Hawaii that shattered the previous record of seven swats set by Janae Henning at San Francisco State in 2001 and equaled by Stobbart last season.

Prior to the Aggies NCAA tournament contest, the Seycove Secondary High alum was named NCAA Player of the Year by Canletes, a Canadian-based nonprofit devoted to encouraging, engaging and empowering female retention in athletics. n Five straight ... It’s been a dynastic run for UCD under the leadership of Gross, now in her 10th year at the Aggie helm. Five consecutive Big West title banners and a handful of BWC tournament trophies now sit inside the UCD Pavilion.

Yet the five-time conference Coach of

the Year still says the best is yet to come…

“To earn a No. 12 seed in the NCAA tournament — the highest seed in our program’s history — they’re (moving) the bar forward,” Gross says. “ This year was a little bit tricky. We didn’t play very many games and typically when you’re playing 28-29 games you’re able to work in the younger kids and give them opportunities and find that chemistry. But with so few games we didn’t always have those opportunities.

“But I’m telling you, there’s talent.

Tremendous talent. We’re not done.

“We’re hungrier now than we ever have been and we’re excited to keep improving to get ourselves back (to March Madness).”

Notes: Hall, Trpcic and Emma Gibb represented the Aggies’ senior class this season. Trpcic and Hall are each eligible to return next year, but have not announced their intentions to do so.

Trpcic (9.8 ppg, 5.4 ast) and Konrad (9.8 ppg, 3.8 rpg) also received AllBWC honors, with Trpcic ranked 22nd in the NCAA in assists per game.

Brennan Fuchslin (100 breaststroke, 1:04.45).

“No single swimmer dominated,” Varley said.

“We had a different guy win each event and I think that really speaks to our depth on the boys’ side this year. We can plug and play a lot of different guys.”

On the girls’ end, it was even less of a contest, Wednesday.

The Lady Devils trounced The Herd, 128-6, after just a single Elk Grove swimmer competed at the varsity level.

“It’s a strange year,” Varley explained. “A lot of teams in our league have much smaller rosters than usual because of (COVID-19) and everything going on.

“But we’ve been lucky in that our team size has stayed relatively normal.”

The Devils’ overall roster boasts nearly 100 swimmers this spring, evenly split between boys and girls.

Sofia Dahlgren won a pair of events for the Lady Devils, touching first in the 200 (2:21.28) as well as the 100 freestyle (1:04.89). Malaya Wright was also a double winner, in the 200 IM (2:27.83) and 500 freestyle (6:01.69). Sarah Bennetts’ 58.87 race in the 100 butterfly was tops, as was Amy Schroeder’s 100 backstroke swim (1:09.73) and Alice Roggenbuck’s 50 freestyle (32.62). Bennetts also placed first in the 100 breaststroke (1:04.77).

Another fast race came from sophomore Makena Leacox, who cranked out a 26.09 in an exhibition 50-freestyle swim.

“Year after year, our girls churn out some of the top times in the section,” Varley said. “And that’s a testament to the success of the yearround swim programs we have in town between the Aquadarts and Aquamonsters.”

First-place relay finishes Wednesday came from the quartet of Bennetts, Leacox, Charlotte Rosendale and Schroeder in the girls 200 medley (1:55.08), Alyssa Waterson, Ashleigh Hahn, Schroeder and Elisabeth Bond in the 200 freestyle (1:54.20) and Rosendale, Leacox, Bennetts and Emily Chapman in the 400 freestyle (4:13.43). Boys banding together for wins included Harris, Joshua Davis, Doten and Pfeifer in the 200 medley (1:47.67), Baoerjin, Fuchslin, Kevin Sarti and Rieger in the 200 freestyle (1:35.43) and Sippola, Ethan Rosendale, Ben Rayls and Adrian Pu in the meetconcluding 400 freestyle (3:35.38).

DHS returns to the water on April 16 when the Devils host Sheldon at Arroyo Pool. First swim is set for 4 p.m.

Notes: In JV action Wednesday, the Blue Crew squashed Elk Grove. The Devil boys topped The Herd, 108-25, while the DHS girls won, 110-32. Noteworthy swims included Ava Portello’s 200 (1:59.67) and 100 (54.33) freestyle as well as Bo Brown’s 33.81 performance in the 50 breaststroke.

BERTH: Storied history provides UCD motivation in must-win game From Page B4 sneak into the playoff as well, depending on what happens elsewhere in the country.

In a normal fall season, the FCS playoff features 24 teams. In 2019, four Big Sky teams were selected for the playoff, one champion and three at-large.

Even if a bid comes, however, the Aggies are likely to be on the road when the playoff begins April 24.

Noted UC Davis Athletics Director Rocko DeLuca, “At this point, we are not planning to submit a bid to host the NCAA playoff game(s) at UC Davis.”

“We’re not really worried about the playoffs or whether or not we can host,” said Aggie head coach Dan Hawkins.

“If today is Thursday, we’ll worry about Thursday. And tomorrow, we’ll worry about Friday.

“Yes, a win probably puts us in,” Hawkins added, “but it’s not something we’re talking about. This group is in a really good spot. They put in a good day’s work every day and let life unfold like it’s supposed to.”

Hawkins hopes that all those good days of work will pay off come Saturday, but he knows the opposition is formidable.

To be clear, Eastern doesn’t enjoy any sort of “hex” on the Aggies, despite that eight-game series win streak. Put simply, EWU has been a Big Sky powerhouse for some time now, including a national championship in 2010. The Eagles are a tough out every time they take the field.

“What can I say? They’re a very good football team,” Hawkins went on.

“They’re good. They have a great quarterback and big, strong receivers. This is life in the Big Sky. It always comes down to the little things.”

Eastern head coach Aaron Best was more than willing to engage in the traditional exchange of compliments.

“Davis put up a bunch of points on Cal Poly and was pedal to the metal the entire game,” Best noted.

“Now, we’re on the road at UC Davis against a very sound football team that scores a lot of points.”

That “great” quarterback

Hawkins mentioned is senior AllAmerican Eric Barriere, who broke Aggie hearts twice back in 2018.

Barriere, a threat with his arms and his legs, is sixth in the nation in total offense with 385 yards a game as Eastern has averaged 51 points and 629 yards a game over the last three weeks. Wide receiver Talolo Limu-Jones is ninth nationally with 107 receiving yards a game.

Barriere was the difference in 2018, leading the Eagles to a 59-20 regular-season rout of UCD, then leading a dramatic, final-minute, lengthof-the-field touchdown drive to secure a 34-29 quarterfinal playoff win on a frozen field in snowbound Cheney in December.

“That playoff game was the only game in my entire life that I’ve ever coached when I was actually shivering. Man, it was cold,” said Hawkins of the 21-degree temperature at game time.

It was especially cold on the Aggie sideline when Eastern roared back for the win.

The Aggies had taken a 29-28 lead on a touchdown and twopoint conversion gamble with

1:13 to play.

The Eagles took just 47 seconds to respond, with Barriere escaping what seemed to be a sure sack and racing 29 yards to the Aggie 46.

Two plays later Sam McPherson sprinted 35 yards down the left sideline to secure the win.

“You have to give them credit,” Hawkins said afterward. “They put it together at the end and got it done. Obviously, there was pain losing this game, and some people like to play it safe, but if you don’t get in the fire, you never experience the highs or the lows.”

For his part, Barriere noted, “We all believed in each other. We huddled and told everyone what they were supposed to do. We knew if we executed, it would turn out okay. Everyone believed in each other, we did our job and came out on top.”

With limited fans allowed to attend Saturday’s game for the first time this season, Hawkins said he’s thrilled that a partial crowd will finally be allowed to watch Saturday’s game.

“This is what makes college football so great, having your family

and friends in the stadium to watch,” he said. “I hope those 1,800 people yell loudly.”

Notes: Hawkins said AllAmerican Aggie running back Ulonzo Gilliam is “day-to-day” with a toe injury suffered against Cal Poly ... Gilliam sat out last week’s 31-27 win over Idaho State ... in the 2010 national championship game, Eastern came back from a 19-0 deficit with three touchdowns in the last 17 minutes to take a 20-19 win over Delaware, with Vice President Joe Biden, a Delaware alum, in attendance ... no Big Sky team has won a national championship since ... the league has six national football titles in all ... in the last two weeks, Illinois State, Chattanooga and Cal Poly have all canceled the remainder of their spring seasons ... Cal Poly says it was down to just 49 players ... meanwhile, North Dakota has had two consecutive games postponed and North Dakota State one, leading some in the Fargo media to call on the NCAA to cancel the FCS spring playoff.

Study: Why only some COVID patients recover Knowledge could lead to inhibiting progression

By Kathy Keatley Garvey Special to The Enterprise A newly published UC Davis research paper pinpoints what could be “the missing link” in why some COVID-19 patients recover and some don’t.

A blood plasma biomarker discovered in hospitalized COVID-19 patients may not only predict the severity of adult respiratory distress syndrome but further research may lead to inhibiting the progression, a team of eight University of California researchers announced.

The UC researchers, primarily from the laboratory of UC Davis distinguished professor Bruce Hammock, found that four compounds in the blood of COVID-19 patients are highly associated with the disease. Their

paper, “Plasma Linoleate Diols Are Potential Biomarkers for Severe COVID19 Infections,” is published as open access in the current edition of Frontiers in Physiology.

ARDS, characterized by fluid build-up in the lungs, is the second leading cause of death in COVID-19 patients next to viral pneumonia, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

“Different outcomes from COVID-19 infections are both terrifying from a human health perspective and fascinating from a research perspective,” said UC Davis lead author and doctoral candidate Cindy McReynolds of the Hammock lab.

“Our data provide an important clue to help determine what impacts the severity of COVID-19 outcomes. Initially, we focused on the immune response and cytokine profile as important drivers in severity, but considering what we now know from our study and others in the field, lipid mediators may

be the missing link to answering questions such as why some people are asymptomatic while others die, or why some disease resolves quickly while others suffer from long-haul COVID.” The compounds, known as leukotoxins and leukotoxin diols, originate from linoleic acid, the body’s most abundant dietary fat, said Hammock, who holds a joint appointment in the department of entomology and nematology and the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center and directs the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Superfund Research Program at UC Davis. “The leukotoxins (also called EpOMEs) are converted to the leukotoxin diols (also called DiHOMES) by the soluble epoxide hydrolase we work on.”

“The hypothesis advanced in this paper is that because the leukotoxins have been associated with serious illness and death in humans and dogs and the symptoms are those of adult respiratory

distress syndrome, these compounds are biomarkers of pulmonary involvement in COVID-19,” Hammock said. “We also think that it is the conversion of leukotoxin to the toxic leukotoxin diol that causes pulmonary and perivascular edema and this could be leading to the respiratory complications.

“So the leukotoxins and leukotoxin diols,” Hammock said, “are indicators of respiratory problems in COVID-19 patients as plasma biomarkers. They also present a pathway for reducing ARDS in COVID19 if we could inhibit the soluble epoxide hydrolase, a key regulatory enzyme involved in the metabolism of immune resolving fatty acids.”

Professor John Imig, director and eminent scholar of the Medical College of Wisconsin’s Drug Discovery Center, who was not involved in the study, said: “The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that coronaviruses can have deadly consequences. Lung distress is a major reason

Cindy McReynolds is the lead author of the study. for death in COVID-19 patients infected with the coronavirus (SARSCoV-2). The findings of McReynolds et al. identified lipids called leukotoxin diols in the blood of COVID-19 patients that could act as a biomarker for lung distress. In addition, leukotoxin diols could be responsible for lung distress in COVID-19 patients.

Excitingly, this suggest that therapies to lower leukotoxin diols could treat lung distress and prevent death

in COVID-19 patients.”

The UCD scientists used clinical data collected from six patients with laboratory-confirmed SARSCoV-2 infection and admitted to the UC Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, and 44 healthy samples carefully chosen from the healthy control arm of a recently completed clinical study.

The paper is the work of Hammock, McReynolds and Jun Yang of the department of entomology and nematology and EicOsis Human Health; Irene Cortes-Puch of the department of entomology and nematology, EicOsis Human Health, and the department of internal medicine’s division of pulmonary critical care and sleep medicine; Resmi Ravindran and Imran Khan of the department of pathology and laboratory medicine; Bruce G. Hammock of UC Davis department of veterinary medicine, aquatic health; and Pei-an Betty Shih of the UC San Diego department of psychiatry.

Here are a few tips on getting ready for tech help

By Jacci O’Connor and Jay Woods Special to The Enterprise

W

e know that computer problems are stressful, and sometimes getting tech help can be even more stressful. Here is our best advice on how to prepare before you make that call for professional tech help.

Whether you have an inhome appointment, are calling tech support on the phone, or bringing your computer to a service shop, here are some things you can do to get the most for your time and money: First things first — What’s the number one thing you need help with?

If you have several concerns, jot down what they are, and then rank order them in terms of what’s most important to you.

This way if you don’t have enough time to address everything in one appointment, you will have taken care of the most important thing first.

Have your passwords ready — If we could only offer one piece of advice, this would be it! We sometimes get stopped in our tracks when we’re on a service call because of unknown, lost or misremembered passwords. So, organize your passwords: Need help accessing your

Tech Over 60 email? We need your email password to help you.

Need to change some settings on your computer?

We’ll definitely need your “login” or “admin” password.

Need some help setting up iCloud? Have your Apple ID handy – and if you have more than one Apple ID (many folks are often surprised to find that they do) have ‘em all handy!

If you have tech help coming to your home, it’s a good idea to know your home’s WiFi network name and password. If you don’t know, the information is usually right on the router.

(Do you know if you have a router? If you do, where in your home is it located?)

Finally, avoid the “shoebox phenomenon” — the all-too-common practice of collecting and keeping miscellaneous scraps of paper with passwords in a box and handing the box to your tech help saying “I’m pretty sure it’s in here ...”

Sifting through the box looking for the piece of paper with the needed password can cost you valuable appointment time that you are being billed for.

Know your stuff —

Be as informed as possible before asking for help.

When you first call for tech help you will likely be asked what computer you have (for example Dell, HP, Mac) and what operating system you currently use (for example Windows 10 or Big Sur). Or which smartphone (for example, Samsung or iPhone).

Though it’s not always critical, it can be very helpful if you’re able to give this information to the tech support person right at the start of your call.

Stop clicking on things!

If you’re calling for help because something strange or creepy has happened with your computer, tablet or phone, wait for the tech help to arrive. Don’t start changing settings, deleting things or clicking around in hopes of finding a fix.

That can make solving the

problem more complicated and time consuming than it needs to be.

Write down what happened and what you did — Let’s say something freezes on your computer or some app doesn’t behave the way it normally would. Stop and write down what you were doing right before the problem occurred. That’s not to say we think you caused the problem, it just helps us to know what happened right before the problem occurred.

And if you already started clicking on things (see above!), write down each thing you did, in order if possible, after the problem occurred. This helps your tech support person understand the beforeand-after history of the problem, and can lead to a quicker solution.

If you can, take a screenshot — We are really happy campers when our clients can show us a screenshot of whatever error message or strange thing appeared on their screen. Most modern computers and mobile devices can take screenshots. If you don’t know how, ask a knowledgeable person to show you.

Screenshots come in especially handy when we’re asked for help via phone or email — instead of asking the client to describe in detail what they’re seeing on their screen, we ask them to send us a screenshot. It’s a great time and money saver.

If you suspect malware or a scam, stop and call for

help immediately — But don’t panic. Perhaps it will turn out to be nothing, but if you’re not sure it’s always best to get help. Call as soon as you suspect a problem.

Then, let the professionals do their job. They will ask you questions and tell you what to do and what not to do – for example, they may tell you to shut your computer down until they can get to it, or perhaps leave it running and maybe take a screenshot.

Even before we can get to a client’s home to assess the situation we can often put their mind at ease with some early “damage control” and a little reassurance.

Sooner or later we all encounter bugs, breaks and glitches on our electronic devices. Being well prepared can help make your next tech support call less stressful and more successful.
