Trial gets going in decade-old Woodland murder case By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer WOODLAND — There’s no question that one man died and others were injured in a shooting at Woodland’s La Finca de Rivera nightclub on the night of March 6, 2011. More than a decade later, a man is standing trial for the crimes. Whether he’s in fact the shooter, however, is for the jury to decide.
Jose Luis Gomez-Arreola, 36, faces multiple felony charges including murder, attempted murder assault with a deadly weapon in connection with the violent melee that killed 30-yearold Gabriel Villereal Ibarra of Williams. Police arrested him in Idaho in July 2020, more than five years after obtaining a warrant for his arrest based on witness statements and other evidence from
that violent night. He was identified as “the man in the pink shirt,” whose group of friends triggered a disturbance soon after arriving at the First and Bush streets venue, Deputy District Attorney Alex Kian told the jury during his opening statement Monday in Yolo Superior Court. Also inside La Finca were Ibarra, his brother Francisco and several of their friends.
“They were just going to have a good time,” Kian said. But trouble began inside the bar and spilled into the street outside, where two of Gomez-Arreola’s friends scuffled with Francisco and one of Ibarra’s friends. At one point Ibarra also ventured outside, and one of GomezArreola’s friends told the defendant, “Hey, go f— up those guys in the cowboy hats,” Kian said.
That’s when Gomez-Arreola allegedly retrieved a .45-caliber handgun from his truck and started shooting, striking Ibarra with fatal shots to his chest and back. Another man got hit in the hip, while one bullet grazed a woman’s leg, according to Kian. The prosecutor said GomezArreola fired more shots at Francisco and another friend as they

County to pause use of J&J vaccine

School campuses open again By Edward Booth Enterprise staff writer
By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer Yolo County has halted use of Johnson & Johnson vaccine doses until it receives further direction from the California Department of Public Health. The announcement came shortly after Dr. Erica Pan, the state’s epidemiologist, said California would follow the recommendation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration to temporarily pause use of the onedose vaccine “out of an abundance of caution” following reports of six cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot with symptoms occurring six to 13 days after vaccination. More than 6.8 million Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines have been administered nationally, making the six cases involved a tiny fraction of all doses. “California is following the FDA and CDC’s recommendation and has directed health care providers to pause the use of the

The Rev. Megan Traquair, bishop of the Diocese of Northern California for the Episcopal Church, was on hand Sunday to bless the solar panels at the Episcopal Church of St. Martin in Davis. With the help of a scissor lift, Tranquair ascended to sprinkle holy water on the panels, celebrating St. Martin’s commitment to reducing its carbon emissions to zero by replacing all gas appliances on its campus with electric ones. Said the Bishop, “In giving thanks to Almighty for the good stewards in this place, I bless these solar panels in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit that they may continue to capture the light of God’s beautiful creation, the sun he placed for us, and that its energy may go to help support the light that he has placed here in this community, county and in this world.” “What this project has shown in a small way,” added Nick

Buxton, a member of St. Martin’s Care for God’s Creation Committee, “is that despite the scale of the climate crisis, when we unite with others and work collaboratively, it is possible to be both bold and ambitious and to make a difference in caring for God’s creation.” At 4 p.m. Sunday, April 18, Gerry Braun, a clean-energy expert and former chair of the Care for God’s Creation Committee, will share the story of how the church has moved toward net-zero carbon emissions. St. Martin’s has received an Interfaith National Award for its efforts to address climate change. Braun will share the results to date, lessons learned and strategies to maximize cost savings. St. Martin’s has cut its average monthly energy expenditures by two-thirds and inspired a number of parish families to follow suit. Register for the talk at https://bit.ly/coolcongregationevent.
Students began arriving at Willett Elementary School at about 8 a.m. Monday, from all directions, by foot, bike or car. It was a clear, crisp and sunny spring day. Parents and pupils periodically crossed Sycamore Lane with the help of longtime Willett crossing guard Rafael Navarro, who would raise his red stop sign and temporarily halt the procession of vehicles. More students arrived over the next half hour — at one moment they appeared to be everywhere — and eventually they funneled into the school campus to begin their day. The early-day rush carried a jolt of excitement Monday, as it was the first day in over a year that district students could return to in-person learning. “I can’t believe this is happening,” said a student accompanied by a parent as they crossed the street. Many students remain in distance learning, COVID-19 safety measures are obvious and abundant, but the arrival of students at Willett on Monday appeared close to how it would on a typical

Briefly Man struck; driver arrested Woodland police say an argument gone wrong led to one man being hospitalized and another under arrest for allegedly running him over with his car. The altercation went down at Casa Linda Drive and Cleveland Street, where officers responded at about 9 p.m. Saturday to reports of an argument and possible traffic collision. They arrived to find an injured man lying in the street, vehicle debris and a license plate nearby, Sgt. Victoria Danzl said. As the victim was rushed to the UC Davis Medical Center, “an investigation led to the other involved party, Dominic Daddow, an 18-year-old Woodland resident,” Danzl said. “It was discovered that the incident was not a traffic collision, but an intentional act by Daddow to strike the victim with the vehicle.” Officers located Daddow and booked him into the Yolo County Jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, Danzl said. The victim was reported to be in stable condition.

It’s just not what people voted for “D esigned for DavisBased Families,” says the bold headline on the advertising campaign materials for the West Davis Active Adult Community, nicknamed Bretton Woods. “West Davis Active Adult Community is truly ‘Davis Caring for Seniors,’ with a progressive approach to new housing in Davis,” the ad goes on. “In direct alignment with Measure R, our newly built homes will help provide ‘an adequate supply of housing to meet the internal needs of the City of Davis,’ by focusing on Davis-based buyers. (Measure R purpose clause).” There are those who claim this is the very reason the project passed easily at the ballot box in the November, 2018 election. There are others who say that wasn’t the reason at all. The overall quality of the project is what pushed it over the top. But, given that “Davis-Based Buyers” was the promise on the ballot and given that no one really knows why someone votes “Yes” or “No” when they pull the curtain and fill out their choices with a Magic Marker, you have to give the voters what they voted for. If the ballot language says, “Every home in the WDAAC will be painted Robin’s Egg Blue to match the summer sky,” then you
can’t, after the fact, paint everything Fire Engine Red to match the summer sunset. It’s just not allowed. Because the developer has set a goal of 90 percent of the homes going to Davis-based folks, there is an actual “Davis Connection Form’” a potential buyer must fill out before taking a place in line. Turns out 80 percent of the homes are for active adults and seniors, while 20 percent are unrestricted in terms of age. There are slightly different qualifications for each group. To purchase a home in the “Active Adult” and “Senior” category, you must fit into one of six pigeonholes. You can be a current Davis resident. Simple and straightforward. You can be a mother/father/ grandmother/grandfather or children of a current Davis resident. Apparently even if you live in Poughkeepsie and have never set foot in Davis.
You can be a current or retired employee of UC Davis, the city of Davis, Davis Joint Unified School District or a Davis-based business. So, if you lived here for 30 years but worked at McDonald’s in Sacramento, then moved to Medford, you’re out of luck. Unless, of course, you are a graduate of UC Davis or Davis elementary or secondary schools. Forget about it if you lived in Davis, but commuted to Sac State. It’s up in the air whether you qualify if you attended the old West Davis Elementary, but not the current César Chávez. And finally, you can be a close relative of a current Davis resident. Like, he’s only my fifth cousin twice removed by marriage, but we’re really, really “close.” Tell it to the Residency Judge, buddy.
Y
ou can, however, prove through Ancestry.com that you have at least 43.2 percent of the genes of the current Davis resident you claim as a relative or that you can name the birthday and birthplace of your alleged Davis-based connection.

For those respondents indicating that they live within the DJUSD, address verification will be conducted. For the remainder of potential

If alumni of a Davis school is marked, the year of graduation will be sought. If a buyer is identified as a Davis employee, the name of the employer will be requested.

The Davis Fire Department responded to a vehicle fire Monday morning at an apartment complex in the 2900 block of Fifth Street, arriving to find a car fully engulfed in flames. “Quick knockdown prevented the fire from reaching apartments,” the Fire Department noted in an Instagram post, adding that an “engineer in training did a great job pumping her first fire.” No injuries were reported.
Yolo County expands COVID vaccine eligibility to everyone 16 and older By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer Yolo County on Tuesday expanded COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to all residents ages 16 and over. Those now eligible can sign up to receive vaccines from pharmacies, healthcare providers and the county by registering at MyTurn. Ca.gov. Visit https://myturn. ca.gov to make appointments. The county has scheduled three first-dose public clinics for this week — open to everyone 16 and up — in Woodland on Wednesday; West Sacramento on Thursday; and Davis on Friday. The Davis clinic is the only one this week offering the Pfizer vaccine, which is the only vaccine authorized for those 16 and 17 years old. As of 4 p.m. on Tuesday, appointments were still available at the Woodland and West Sacramento clinics. The county decided to expand vaccine eligibility to all residents ages 16 and over two days before the state will do so in part because existing doses were going unused. “With vaccine supply remaining limited, we didn’t expect to open up appointments to all adults early, but we had appointments for 50-plus going unfilled last week. These safe and effective vaccines are too precious to leave sitting in freezers,” said Yolo County Health Officer Dr. Aimee Sisson. “The vaccine is our ticket back to normal, and I encourage everyone 16 and older to get vaccinated as
soon as they can. The sooner we reach herd immunity, the more protected we all will be against more infectious variant strains.” Yolo County residents who do not have internet access or who need assistance registering for appointments on MyTurn can call the state’s COVID19 hotline at 833-4224255. County residents may also call 211 or toll free 866855-1783 for vaccine information or to secure an in-home vaccine. More than 84,000 Yolo County residents have received at least their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine — 38 percent of the county’s population and 47 percent of those 16 and over — according to public information officer Jenny Tan. But even as vaccinations continue to ramp up, caution is still needed among all residents to prevent further spread of the virus. “People are still dying from and getting COVID so we still need to be vigilant,” Tan said Monday. “I think with the reopened businesses, the expanded vaccine eligibility and the warmer spring weather, that we all want to think we’re done with COVID. However, there seems to be a worrying trend these past few weeks that COVID cases, especially its variants, (are) rising among younger people. “It’s extremely important that everyone continue to wear face coverings, limit gatherings and get vaccinated when they’re eligible,” said Tan.
———— County-run COVID-19 testing sites are no longer operating “as we’ve seen a decrease in utilization at our sites so we’ve cut them down to save on resources and staffing,” Tan said. However, testing is still available for free through the state and Healthy Davis Together. The state’s OptumServe partnership hosts free testing from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, in the portables located next to the Juvenile Detention Facility at 2780 E. Gibson Road in Woodland. Testing is also available from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Winters Community Center, 201 Railroad Ave., on Fridays only, and in West Sacramento, Mondays through Thursdays, at Club West, 1125 Riverbank Road. Make an appointment by calling 1-888-634-1123 or by visiting https://lhi.care/ covidtesting Meanwhile, Healthy Davis Together offers free salivabased testing at four locations in Davis.

The state Board of Parole Hearings granted parole last week to a West Sacramento man serving a life sentence for a 2000 West Sacramento murder. It was the fifth parole hearing for David Cree, 41, who previously was denied parole in 2014, 2017 and 2019. The parole board granted him parole in 2016, but former Gov. Jerry Brown reversed that decision. On Oct. 8, 2000, Cree and his crime partner, who was a minor, were driving along Capitol Avenue in West Sacramento after a night of drinking. The pair had modified a firearm into a sawed-off shotgun when they encountered victims Jimmie Richardson and Gregory Rowan. Cree, who was driving, pulled over his car and asked Rowan, “Where are the girls?” At point, the minor pulled out the shotgun and opened fire, killing Richardson and leaving Rowan severely wounded. Cree, who claimed they were looking for someone who stabbed him 10 months earlier, received a life sentence after a jury convicted him. It marked the second time that Cree had killed someone. In 1996, he shot and killed a 46-year-old man who had acted sexually aggressively towards him, resulting in a three-year stay with the California

Youth Authority. Chief Deputy District Jonathan Raven represented the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office at the April 7 parole hearing, held virtually from the Correctional Training Facility in Soledad due to the Covid pandemic. Richardson’s twin daughters also attended the hearing remotely. Commissioners Troy Taira and Nancy Wong determined that Cree no longer posed an unreasonable risk to public safety should he be released from prison, according to the DA’s Office. “Although there was concern that Cree, for the first time, mentioned that he had found the shotgun and secreted it at his uncle’s house, and that he also had been involved in domestic violence before the murder, the commissioners felt that he was rehabilitated and had earned a parole date,” prosecutors said in a news release. The parole decision is expected to become final following an internal review by the Board of Parole Hearings and Gov. Gavin Newsom.

VACCINE: Authorities react to blood clotting Yolo County still orange From Page A1 Johnson & Johnson vaccine until we receive further direction from health and safety experts,” Pan said. “Additionally, the state will convene the Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup to review the information provided by the federal government on this issue. As the federal government has said, we do not expect a significant impact to our vaccination allocations. In California, less than 4 percent of our vaccine allocation this week is the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.” Likewise, the county said the pause “will not greatly impact the county’s current vaccine timeline and we will replace any J&J appointments this week with Pfizer or Moderna.” The county has scheduled three first-dose public clinics this week in Davis, Woodland and West Sacramento, as well as two private clinics in Esparto and Madison. Residents can sign up for the public clinics at https://myturn.ca.gov. Anyone who has received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and is
concerned about the adverse effects should contact their healthcare providers. “If you have received the J&J vaccine and develop severe headache, abdominal pain, leg pain or shortness of breath within three weeks after vaccination, please contact your healthcare provider or seek medical care,” the county said in a message posted on social media. According to the CDC and FDA, the six cases of a type of blood clot called cerebral venous sinus thrombosis was seen in combination with low levels of blood platelets and all six cases occurred among women between the ages of 18 and 48, with symptoms occurring six to 13 days after vaccination. “Treatment of this specific type of blood clot is different from the treatment that might typically be administered,” said the joint message from the CDC and FDA. “Usually, an anticoagulant drug called heparin is used to treat blood clots. In this setting, administration of heparin may be dangerous, and alternative treatments need to be given.” The CDC will convene a meeting
of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices on Wednesday to further review the six cases and assess their potential significance. The FDA will review that analysis as it also investigates these cases. “Until that process is complete, we are recommending a pause in the use of this vaccine out of an abundance of caution,” the joint statement said. “This is important, in part, to ensure that the health care provider community is aware of the potential for these adverse events and can plan for proper recognition and management due to the unique treatment required with this type of blood clot. “Right now, these adverse events appear to be extremely rare. COVID19 vaccine safety is a top priority for the federal government, and we take all reports of health problems following COVID-19 vaccination very seriously.” — Reach Anne Ternus-Bellamy at aternus@davisenterprise.net.

SCHOOL: Students excited to be on campus From Page A1 school day in a typical year, with everyone wearing masks. Davis school board president Joe DiNunzio was on the Willett campus that Monday and bumped elbows with a few staff members in recognition. DiNunzio also visited Emerson Jr. High School, Da Vinci Jr. High and César Chávez Elementary that day, and on Tuesday visited Davis Senior High School and the Da Vinci High School. DiNunzio said it felt energizing to see students and families come back to campus after over a year, and to see teachers welcoming their students and administrators managing school campuses again. “It felt not the same as it did 13 months ago, but it felt a little bit like a slice of normal. I think the enthusiasm of teachers, parents and students was palpable for sure,” DiNunzio said. “And it didn’t hurt that the weather was lovely. It was one of those sunshiny beautiful Davis spring days which I think was sort of reflective of the mood of everyone that was on campus.” Returning to school campuses while the COVID-19 pandemic continues on has represented a major decision for district parents and students.
DiNunzio, a parent of two eighth-graders himself, said one of his children was thrilled to head back to school and the other chose to stay in distance learning. “Every family is kind of grappling with this in different ways and it’s important for us to be thinking about all of our students,” DiNunzio said. Emma Haines, a 10th grader attending Davis Senior High School, went to classes on the high school campus for the first time Monday. She said most of her classes had around 15 in-person students, though the first only had eight, and her teachers, with the new learning model, were required to manage both the in-person students and the distance learners, who watched the class from their screens. Haines said she spent most of the first day in her classes learning about COVID-19 safety precautions, such as how masking, handwashing and sanitizing work on the school campuses. The whole day, she said, was also a lot shorter than it typically would be; her inperson school day ended at lunch, and at that point students were encouraged to leave campus. Haines described the atmosphere as “nervous, but kind of excited.” She said she was mostly excited to go back to school in
person, and she’s looking forward to having normal class days that are less focused on the COVID-19 training. “I think it’s going to be nice to just not have to look at a screen, really,” Haines said. Sarah Keith, a parent and teacher in the Vacaville Unified School District, said she sent her fifthgrade son back to school at North Davis Elementary. She said he was a bit bummed out about not being able to play basketball during recess, as the play area had been split into different zones that the classes take turns with as a safety precaution. “One thing about distance learning is that it was like all work and no fun. I think they tried to make it fun, but it didn’t come across that way for my son,” Keith said. “I think going back is not that much more fun if you can’t play basketball. So we’ll see how that all unfolds.” Janet Hanstad, a parent of two district students — one in high school and one in elementary school — said both stayed in distance learning. For her son in high school, she said, not much changed about the experience. For her elementary school son, all three sixth-grade distance learning classes at North Davis were combined into a 27-student class, because
of the high percentage of elementary school students returning to in-person learning. Hanstad said her younger son decided to not attend school in person because he wouldn’t have been allowed to mingle with students from other classes, which is where many of his friends are. One of the larger changes, she said, is to the schedule, as the distance learners no longer have school in the morning. “They both were perfectly happy with their days, so not a lot changed on their end,” Hanstad said. DiNunzio said the district is going to have to focus on effectively serving both in-person students and distance learners during the remaining weeks of school. He added that the district’s first duty is keeping everyone healthy. “It’s always a challenge to make sure you’re serving everybody’s needs and I think it’s an extra challenge with COVID and the split between on-campus and distance learning. But my personal feelings are just so impressed with the positive results of all this hard work and a little feeling of normalcy,” DiNunzio said. “We’re not out of the woods yet when it comes to COVID-19 and we have to continue to focus on health and safety first.”
as case rate ticks up By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer
Yolo County remained solidly in the orange tier this week as COVID-19 numbers ticked up slightly and pushed back to April 28 the earliest the county can enter the least-restrictive yellow tier. The county’s adjusted daily case rate increased from 2.3 per 100,000 residents last week to 2.4 this week. Moving to the yellow tier requires an adjusted case rate of less than two. Likewise, the county’s health equity quartile (which measures the test positivity rate in the county’s most disadvantaged communities) increased from 2.3 percent last week to 2.5 percent this week. That rate must be below 2.2 percent to move to the yellow tier. Moving to yellow would allow increased indoor capacity at gyms, wineries and breweries, and family entertainment centers; and would allow bars to open indoors at 25 percent capacity.
But only Yolo County’s countywide test positivity rate of 0.5 percent meets the yellow tier metrics, and the county must meet all of the metrics for two consecutive weeks in order to progress into the yellow tier, making April 28 the soonest possible date. Statewide, 33 counties are in the orange tier and 21 in red. Merced County remains the only resident of the purple tier while three counties — Alpine, Lassen and Sierra — are in the yellow tier. The numbers released by the state Tuesday in its weekly update were from the week ending April 3. Since then, Yolo County’s average daily number of cases has only increased, averaging 15 new cases a day through Tuesday. That would result in an adjusted case between 3 and 4 per 100,000 residents, provided the county continues to receive the maximum bonus provided by the state for testing more than the statewide average.

Sharlene Kaye Oeste leaves behind a family who will miss her dearly. She was born Nov. 11, 1941, in Davis to Laverne Adolph Oeste (OH-Stee) and Ethel Wildah Heidrick Oeste. Sharlene was the farm couple’s second child, born three years to the day after her sister Sharon. Sharlene Oeste was born in Woodland but raised throughout her childhood in the city of Davis, where the Oeste Manor housing development and Oeste Drive still carry the family’s name. Sharlene was raised in Davis, graduated from Davis High School in 1959, then earned a bachelor’s degree in business at Chico State College in 1963. She married William Fred Stahl III on Dec. 28, 1963. The couple raised three children, William Fred IV, Shana Kaye and Jeffrey Duane at their home in Camarillo until divorcing in 1975. She never remarried, instead choosing an independent path raising her family and pursuing her community service and professional goals in finance and counseling. In 1977, Sharlene was elected Southern California’s first female AYSO youth-soccer commissioner, responsible for the organization’s youth-soccer operations in the city of Camarillo. She also accomplished the first club soccer team exchange with West Berlin’s soccer club, Hertha 03. Later that year, Sharlene earned her certification and operated a practice in financial planning. In 1980, she shifted her attention towards counseling and enrolled at California State University Northridge. She earned a master’s degree in educational psychology in 1982 and leveraged her education and experience to work as a drug and alcohol rehabilitation counselor at the Centinela Hospital Medical
Center in Inglewood and then run a practice in marriage family and child counseling in Ventura. She was also someone her children’s friends always seemed to feel comfortable talking to. Many came to her for guidance and advice or just to talk. She was always willing to listen. Sharlene retired first to an oceanview home in Santa Barbara and then to the rocky mountains of Idaho after seeing her three children off to college. She built a custom log cabin home and resided comfortably in the Sawtooth Mountains near Stanley. There she enjoyed the adventure of living a rural, rugged life while also working at the town’s medical clinic as a counselor and office manager. Then she moved to Boise to be nearer to her daughter and grandchildren. She enjoyed her lifetime hobbies of travel, porcelain-china painting, cooking, sewing, watercolors and creating handcrafted holiday ornaments. Sharlene was really quite talented but never considered herself a “true” artist. Others would disagree, citing frequent sales of her high-quality works as well as award-winning art she regularly displayed in the Professional Division at the Western Idaho State Fair. She volunteered her time at St. Luke’s Health System in Boise, clowning as ‘Pansy’ to raise spirits for both patients and staff. She also gave her time to teaching immigrants the English language and donating some of her hand-sewn handbags to those in need. She was also a dedicated Boise State football fan, always celebrating the team’s successes against national and Pac 12 rivals. To really know Sharlene was to understand the love and pride she had for her
pioneering farm family’s hard work. Her ancestors immigrated to America from Germany and Ireland and created lasting prosperity after purchasing and working 360 acres of land in Davis in 1868. They were one of Yolo County’s original farm families. Jacob William Oeste, his wife Catherine Voigt Oeste, along with their son John Henry Oeste (18371913) and his wife Marie Elisabeth Strippel (1843-1935) produced bountiful fields of barley, wheat, and oats on their farmland after leaving Germany for the promise of America. They also raised sheep, hogs, and mules until 1905, along with his brother-inlaw, H. S. Strippel. Together, John Henry and Marie Elisabeth had five children: Carl Theodore (1872-1944), Henry (1875-1951), Adolph (1878-1934), Julius (1883-1925) and Sophia (1885-1954). Sharlene was Adolph’s granddaughter and was always impressed, proud and grateful for how the children were all very hard workers and devoted to their parents. Sharlene was the last Oeste born to this prominent, historical family. Their legacy, however, continues to this day as the Oeste Ranch property produces a variety of crops including tomatoes, wheat, and barley at the corner of W. Covell Blvd. and Road 99. She recalled her father Laverne covered head to toe with dirt from the fields. He was also a volunteer firefighter, who in the 1950s set off the city’s annual July 4 fireworks display, but only after storing those fireworks in the family’s garage. He also steered a small airplane through city streets in the annual Christmas parade while dressed as Santa. Her mother, Ethel,
was one of six hardworking children, Fred, Joe, Emmet, Vera and Louise. Their father was a local school teacher. The six children had little during their formative years and worked on the farms eventually, to create their own agricultural dynasties. The California Agriculture Museum in Woodland was built around Fred Heidrick’s unique tractor and artifacts collection. Fred was Sharlene’s beloved “Uncle Fred.” Sharlene may have moved away from Davis, but she often returned to visit family. She also made a point of paying her respects to her Oeste and Heidrick ancestors interred at the Davis and Woodland Cemeteries, sharing their stories with her children and grandchildren. The community of Davis was important to her. The Oeste Ranch lives on. It was important to her. So was her family. She passed early Easter Sunday surrounded by her children in La Quinta, where she spent numerous winters away from the Idaho cold and ice. She is survived by Fred and Karen Stahl, William Fred V, Kendra and Jackie; Shana Stahl Richter, Chax (fka Sharadin) and Nicholas; and Jeff and Marian Stahl, and Joshua. She will be missed dearly. A visitation is planned from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday, April 15, at the Smith Funeral Home, 116 D St. in Davis. A funeral service is set for 10 a.m. Friday, April 16, at the same location, with a commitment and interment service to follow at 11 a.m. at the Davis Cemetery and Arboretum at 820 Pole Line Road. Sharlene always wanted lots of pink flowers at her ceremonies. However, she would also love donations made in her memory to assist refugees in learning English, care of the Learning Lab, Inc, 308 E. 36th St., Garden City, ID 83714.

Myth of a great California exodus
Gun-violence R researchers need data
arely has the “big lie” technique been used against an American state as effectively and persistently as with the myth of a great and unique California exodus over the last few years. The Economist, a Londonbased magazine whose reportage on California almost always contains errors, reported last fall that California lost population between 2018 and 2019. False. The recently departed president, who detested California for its solid and repeated vote margins against him, tweeted disparagingly about California more than 600 times over his four-year term, most of his “information” false. Even the Los Angeles Times titled a recent story, “California in the rearview mirror.” It’s part of a pattern reminiscent of the “big lie” technique outlined in the 1930s by Nazi German propaganda minister Josef Goebbels, who observed, “The bigger the lie and the louder and more often it is told, the more people will believe it.” But lies only survive until facts emerge. And the facts don’t support the myth of a great California exodus. One magazine reported last fall that California lost more than 3 percent of its populace to other states over the last year. Not so. In fact, about 175,000 California residents moved to other states in

un violence is America’s other epidemic. While the deadly coronavirus has our full attention, gun violence still rages on, claiming nearly 40,000 American lives a year — nearly 3,000 here in California. Just as science and research are helping us fight COVID-19 with new vaccines and therapies, evidence-based approaches are essential to end widespread gun violence. Unfortunately, bureaucrats at the state Attorney General’s office are blocking access to key data that gun violence researchers need to do their important work. California needs the red tape removed, and we’ve introduced new legislation, Assembly Bill 1237, to accomplish that. Five years ago, the California Legislature created a Firearm Violence Research Center at UC Davis. Its main mission is to help our state and the nation understand violence and how it can be prevented. Researchers then take their findings to elected officials and other leaders, guiding them on evidence-informed prevention policies and programs to reduce the number of firearm deaths. The ultimate goal is to save lives. Studies conducted by the center and other California-based researchers have helped shape our state’s effective gun laws. For example, we have learned prohibiting firearms purchases by persons convicted of violent offenses helps prevent future crimes. In addition, an examination of the state’s red flag law suggests mass shootings were averted because court-approved gun violence restraining orders enabled the removal of weapons from people deemed dangerous.
2020. That’s about fourtenths of one percent. The departures were more than made up for in new births and legal foreign immigration, which created a 21,200 person population increase from July 1, 2019, to July 1, 2020, reports the state Department of Finance. One reason the population increase wasn’t much: the coronavirus pandemic, which caused job losses pretty much preventing anyone who moved here from finding employment. So in-migration from other states all but stopped and will not fully resume until the plague fully ends, or at least until enough folks are vaccinated to end the deadly threat of the virus. Then there’s the notion that net out-migration to other states never before matched the numbers of the last decade. Not so. The nonpartisan state Legislative Analyst’s office (LAO) issued charts in 2018 showing domestic outmigration in the 1990-’95 period far exceeded anything in the last five years. In 1993 alone, about 600,000 persons left California, while
only about 300,00 came here. The difference was vastly exceeded by the foreign immigration tide of that time, giving California substantial net growth. Take a look at who has been most active in perpetrating the ongoing big lie about California. Business relocation agents were the first to promote it, writing op-ed after op-ed about the “vast advantages” for businesses that move elsewhere. A Texas state agency has also produced numerous commentaries touting that state’s tax breaks for incoming businesses, which famously induced the likes of Oracle Corp. and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (cq) to move headquarters there from Silicon Valley.
T
he last previous move of similar magnitude involved Toyota Motor Corp.’s American headquarters, which in 2014 went from the Los Angeles suburb of Torrance to Plano, Tex., near Dallas. Then there’s the L.A.Times narrative, which depicted numerous recent California arrivals unable to afford comfortable housing here and leaving for cheaper hunting grounds. That’s partially correct, and is largely because even as rents dropped over the last year in California’s big cities during the pandemic, with white-collar employees shifting to working at home, rents and home
prices in exurbs of Los Angeles and San Francisco rose steeply. In fact, statewide average real estate prices gained about 8 percent over the last year, at the same time governments were impelling the creation of thousands of “affordable” apartments, condominiums and single-family homes. Yes, California has problems, including often-clumsy government (recent example: the slow start of the COVID19 vaccine rollout) and high income taxes (often made up for by lower-than-average property taxes). But that has not stopped start-up companies from proliferating, nor does it lessen the state’s attraction for higher-income, better educated workers. The LAO charts demonstrated that California has actually gained ground over most other states in those categories in the last decade. So not to worry too much, Californians. This state has a long history of solving its problems and chances are it will again as new Googles and Facebooks and Hulus and eBays keep arising. — Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

N
ow, we are asking these same researchers to conduct further studies, including whether gun violence restraining orders are effective at stopping violence in other circumstances. But they cannot proceed because they lack access to the needed information. Such roadblocks could mean we may never discover other life-saving tools that could prevent tragedies. It’s unclear why obstruction of scientific research on an important social issue is happening. If bureaucrats are worried about a violation of privacy, those concerns are unfounded. In dozens of studies across more than 30 years of research on firearm violence in California, funded by the National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Justice, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and California’s own Department of Justice, there has never been a breach of personal information. Never. We need reliable research on gun violence more than ever, as early numbers suggest an unfortunate increase during the pandemic. Now is not the time to cut access to critical information. AB 1237 makes key information available to the Firearm Violence Research Center, in addition to qualified scientists at Stanford and other universities, so their research to prevent gun violence can continue. It guarantees strict privacy protections, while also removing the handcuffs placed on our scientists. Data is the foundation of research, whether in the medical arena or any other scientific pursuit. Without it, the path forward is difficult. No vaccines. No fix to climate change. No end to gun violence. Give scientists the data, and they can give us their findings, so we can craft public policy to solve problems. We ask the Legislature to pass AB 1237 and allow our greatest minds to return to work ending the violence pandemic here in California and across our great country. Lives depend on it. — Assemblyman Phil Ting, a Democrat from San Francisco, represents the 19th Assembly District, Assemblymember.Ting@ assembly.ca.gov. He is the author of AB 1237. State Sen.

Letters Offshore wind energy Californians are no strangers to outages, wildfires and extreme temperatures; we must develop clean-energy sources to eliminate carbon emissions and reduce these threats to our state. Offshore wind is a solution to many of our energy problems. The Biden Administration recently announced they want to develop 30 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030 across the United States. California can help meet that goal by beginning to develop offshore wind off its coast. Assemblymember Chiu’s bill, AB 525, sets an offshore wind planning target for 3 GW by 2030 and 10 GW by 2040. Taking advantage of powerful coastal winds will not only help fight climate change but increase grid resilience. Californians have been utilizing solar power for decades, and offshore wind — which blows most powerfully at night — serves as a complement to solar panels that go offline when the sun sets. AB 525 would put us on track to build the first offshore wind turbines on the west coast and the inclusion of a specific

Grateful in Rancho Yolo With gratitude and heartfelt thanks, our Rancho Yolo community salutes some heroes who have provided extraordinary services to our residents. We had two well-organized, efficient and convenient vaccination clinics in Rancho Yolo for our residents ages 65-and-over and some caregivers. The two clinics, to accommodate two doses of the Moderna vaccine, were authorized by our park manager, John Burmester, and coordinated by Kristin Weivoda from the County Office of Emergency Services, Sheila Allen, executive director of Yolo Healthy Aging Alliance, and a team of very efficient staff from Dignity-Woodland Memorial Hospital. In less than two hours, 130 residents, many of whom were seriously challenged to make appointments or find transportation to distant vaccination sites, were accommodated. At the second clinic, the generous group at Dignity was able to locate an

Countless thanks and comments on feeling a load had been lifted from shoulders have been expressed. Lives were potentially saved and, although still needing to take precautions, grandparents suddenly have a chance to be with their families. Giving vaccinations at our clinics were Gena Bravo, chief operating officer and chief nurse executive with Dignity, Woodland Memorial Hospital; Kristin Weivoda, Yolo County Office of Emergency Services; Tandy Burton, director of behavioral health and labor and delivery; and Susan Gonzalez, director of medical surgical telemetry. Also here to assist was Sheila Allen.

TRIAL: ‘Complete chaos’ at scene From Page A1 tried to stop him from leaving, but missed. He fled the scene and remained on the lam for more than nine years until his arrest. But defense attorney Michael Chastaine said while Ibarra’s death was “an absolute tragedy,” authorities set their sights on the wrong man. Gomez-Arreola “is an innocent man who is accused of this crime that he did not commit,” Chastaine said in his opening remarks. The real killer “is still out there.” Chastaine says it was “rumor and innuendo” passed among witnesses — some who were at La Finca that night, and others who weren’t — that led to
Gomez-Arreola’s identification and arrest, despite conflicting statements given to police. “You’ll have to figure out, what did people actually see, or what did they regurgitate based on what other people talked about?” Chastaine said. Complicating matters, Chastaine added, was the “complete chaos” at the shooting scene, as well as memories rendered fuzzy by alcohol and drug consumption. Some witnesses reported seeing two shooters, while others recalled the shooter wearing not a pink shirt, but rather a black leather jacket, a white tank top, a polo shirt, or no shirt at all, Chastaine told the jury.
The defense attorney suggested it was another man, “Raul,” who fired the fatal shots after breaking bottles and spraying other patrons with beer inside the nightclub, then fighting with Francisco out in the street. Some witnesses reported the shooter was “the man who was involved in that fight,” Chastaine said. Gomez-Arreola “didn’t do it, and the evidence will support that.” The trial, expected to last for several weeks in a weekon, week-off format, continues today in Judge David Reed’s courtroom. — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenterprise. net.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE TO DESTROY WEEDS AND REMOVE RUBBISH, REFUSE AND DIRT Notice is hereby given that on the 6th day of April 2021 the City Council of the City of Davis passed Resolution No. 041 Series 2021 declaring that dangerous weeds were growing upon or in front of certain properties and that rubbish, refuse and dirt were upon or in front of these properties in the City of Davis, and more particularly described in the Resolution, and that they constitute a public nuisance which must be abated by the removal of said weeds, rubbish,
voted to move homeless services out of the Police Department — while stopping short of embracing a new department. “I support the shifting of as many responses that we can to non-sworn personnel,” Mayor Gloria Partida said. “With any issue that is this large, that has this large of a shift of policy, it has to be done very thoughtfully.” The subcommittee report also recommends examining racial disparities in traffic stops and arrests. According to data collected last year, a Black person was five times as likely as a white person to
be stopped by the Davis Police Department and Black Davis residents were arrested at a rate five times their share of the population. Dillan Horton, who chairs the Davis Police Accountability Commission, spoke at the vigil about his experiences being profiled by local police. “This system is a present danger to brown and Black people all across this country,” Horton said. — Reach Caleb Hampton at champton@ davisenterprise.net.

Summer school innovates to respond to students’ needs By Charissa Zeigler HUB Staff Summer school in recent years has been reserved for students who receive a D or an F in the class and need to retake a class in order to graduate. But, this year, Davis Joint Unified School District is looking to change the summer school schedule to allow all students interested in supplementary classes to attend summer school. In-person summer school has another purpose: allowing students to interact with each other to make up for the lost time in isolation. This dual focus on social-emotional needs as well as educational opportunities aims to bring back what was taken away by COVID-19. Troy Allen, the district’s director of secondary education, is meeting with other district staff to determine how the high school, as well as junior high and elementary schools, could create the new courses. “We are just now starting to generate ideas and get it organized ... it might be robotics and programming or potentially ... just being active,” Allen said. District administrators are still determining the format of the classes. Students would likely be in small groups, and classes like music instruction could be held outside. Senior Sean Gao believes a summer music program would be popular with music students. “I think one of the best parts of music is being up on stage, ... I think a school music class would be great ... just connecting with other students and playing with them,” Gao said. Davis High vice principal Sonam Singh, who will be directing the 2021 secondary level summer school, notes that concrete plans for summer school cannot be made until administrators have a list of students who will be eligible. “We are in the early stages of planning for what summer school will look like with the district,” Singh said. Hiring for summer school teachers will be held at the end of April or early May. The district plans to send out messages to DJUSD students and parents about the enrichment programs to notify them how they can sign up for classes.
Davis High begins new in-person model By Lewis Herring-Tillman HUB Staff Hundreds of students returned to the hallways of Davis High on Monday, bringing life to a campus which has been eerily quiet for 56 weeks. About half of students voluntarily returned to campus on Monday, many of them seniors looking to spend at least a few weeks of their last year at the high school in person. However, there are also many underclassmen looking for a break from the monotony of distance learning. “If I don’t get more human interaction I’ll lose my mind,” sophomore Ellen Ferguson said. A common struggle students have faced is a lack of motivation. Senior Hayden Taillon spent much of his senior year online, participating in speech and debate events and going to community gardening events in-person. “It is so easy to simply roll out of bed and not engage,” Taillon said. “I think going back to in person, even if it isn’t all the way back to normal, will provide that sense of meaning ... that I’ve lacked so far this year.” Sophomore Leela Ghassemi has never been to high school classes in person, but, like Taillon, goes to the Davis High Environmental Club’s garden day every week. “There were many struggles when it came to completing class activities and thinking

David Achimore’s AP English class reviews mandatory safety protocols on Monday. critically about assignments,” Ghassemi said. “During distance learning, staying engaged in class isn’t a concern since I can simply refer to a class recording provided by my teacher. With no teachers making sure I am on task, everything goes through one ear and out the other.” Returning students found the campus they once knew heavily modified to meet state and federal guidelines for reopening. Desks must be at least 3 feet
apart, masking and distancing in the halls is required, and according to the Davis Joint Unified School District, more than 90 percent of teachers have received COVID-19 vaccinations. But many students chose to stay at home. Sophomore Oliver Mahoney is among hundreds of students who did not return on Monday. “My only worry is that I can’t trust 1500 kids to follow all the rules,” she said. “We are kids, after all.”
DHS head counselor Catherine Pereira has organized various efforts to reach out to the student body over the past year, and she says she understands why many students are choosing not to return to campus. “Sophomores have not yet attended classes on campus, and are still learning the layout of the school,” Pereira said. “We do recognize that it will be a change, and change can be scary.”

Devils’ season ends early Football forced to quit by low roster numbers
Vaulters warm up in Davis
I
f you happen to pass by the Toomey Field track over the next few months, check to see if the pole-vault equipment is set up. Because, if it is, you may want to stop for a few minutes. Two Davis High graduates, Sondre and Simon Guttormsen are back in town. And the high-flying duo appear in the Blue Devil record books in several different spots. Sondre, who owns the DHS (1802.75) and CIF (17-10) vaulting records set the benchmarks back in 2018. Simen, two years his younger, was right on his tail at 15-09. If you spot two guys vaulting as high as the campus water tower, you’ll know it’s them. After graduating in 2018, Sondre matriculated to UCLA, where he went on to shatter the Bruins indoor (18-09.5) pole-vault record and was crowned Pac-12 champion. This past year, he transferred to Princeton, making the crosscontinental move to reunite with Simen, who is also a member of the Tigers’ track-and-field team. But the two still haven’t had a chance to compete alongside one another. This past fall, as virus cases surged, the Ivy League nixed its sports seasons for the academic year. The conference doubled down in mid-February, even while collegiate teams across the nation began spring competitions.
W
ith school online, the brothers have been studying virtually in Norway this past year. Born in Davis, while his father Atle was working on a Ph.D. at UC Davis, Sondre’s family moved back to Europe when he was just an infant. He spent the first 11 years of his childhood in Ski, a town of about 25,000 people just 30 minutes south of the country’s capital city, Oslo. But he returned to Davis in 2010 for Atle’s first sabbatical and attended North Davis Elementary with Simen. “It’s an awesome town and that’s why we’ve continued to come back,” Atle told me in 2017, when the family returned yet again. That time, both boys stuck around long enough to graduate from DHS. “My brother and I always wanted to come back as soon as we moved back to Norway,” Sondre added. “So we’ve been looking forward to being back here for years now.” Now they’re back again.
By Will Wyman Enterprise staff writer In a shortened football season where cancellations loomed large, Davis High is unfortunately the latest team to say uncle. The Blue Devils’ final contest of the season, a matinee matchup in Carmichael against rival Jesuit set for Saturday has been canceled. Shorthanded from the get-go, DHS has just 17 healthy players available, down more than 10 from the start of the spring. The bevy of injuries, which have plagued the locals from the jump, prompted the difficult decision by the Devil coaching staff and athletic department on Monday. “Student safety has to come first,” athletic director Jeff Lorenson told The Enterprise. “This decision is tough, but the right one to make.” Despite the abrupt end to the campaign, players and coaches responses were overwhelmingly grateful to have had a season at all, when interviewed by The Enterprise. Senior captain Zach Brooks reflected the team’s 1-3 effort and what the season meant: “One of the main things I took away from this season was the idea of treating every game like it’s your last,” began the Whitworth University commit. “It never really hit home till this year. “It meant a lot getting to play my senior year, even if it wasn’t a traditional season. Just getting the opportunity to play after all the work we put in over the offseason was huge.” Brooks was his typical marauding self on the field Saturday against Cosumnes Oaks, racking up a teamhigh eight tackles in an eventual 31-16 loss. Head coach Steve Smyte led his squad through the ups and downs of this strange season and is ready to celebrate the effort of his Zach Brooks DHS senior resilient crew. “We will give these guys some time to heal,” Smyte said, adding that the Devils have a sociallydistanced get together planned to celebrate

Davis High head coach Steve Smyte (white mask) chats with Devil quarterback Donovan Garvin (15) during a game against Pleasant Grove this season. Earlier this spring, Smyte announced his intention to retire at the end of the season. what he dubbed “the most irregular season that we have fought through.” “Three of our players (DHS is the only school with a trio of winners) will be honored by the National Football Foundation for their outstanding academic, athletic, leadership attributes,” Smyte added. “And Zach Brooks (will) be named as the spokesman for all of these special student-athletes in the Sac-Joaquin section on May 8 in Auburn.” Smyte is also aware of how important introspection is after a year like this one: “Coaches will make meeting times with our players for exit interviews that help target how the season went, next moves for the student-athletes from an academic and athletic viewpoint and suggestions

on how we as individuals and as a team can continue to grow. I will meet with coaches to do our self-evaluation on what has worked and what we can do better. We will get together as a coaching staff to discuss an offseason program for our players.” This was Smyte’s last season at the helm for Big Blue, a retirement coming with a full trophy cabinet and a legacy of strong coaching. As the former UC Davis and Boise State assistant bows out, the veteran coach hopes that his staff will carry on as the leaders of the Davis program. “(The coachin0g staff) will take care of administrative stuff like helmet and shoulderpad reconditioning and, hopefully, Ty Brown and Yijie Gi will carry on as head coaches due to my retirement.” Brown, the team’s current defensive coordinator, is upset by the sudden end to the season but optimistic of the future for the Blue Devil program.

Aggie men gain hoops transfer from Nevada By Owen Yancher Enterprise sports editor

Kane Milling scans the court during a Nevada game against Boise State in 2019. The guard is transferring to UC Davis.
The UC Davis men’s basketball team just added another shooter. In a Twitter post Saturday, Kane Milling, a 6-foot-4 guard from Nevada announced he’s transferring to UCD. The sophomore from Nantes, France, played significant minutes for coach Steve Alford this past season, averaging 5 points per game, a pair of rebounds and an assist. He shot 37 percent from beyond the arc as the Wolfpack finished fifth in the Mountain West Conference at 10-7 and 16-10 overall. As a freshman in Reno, Milling played in all 31 of Nevada’s games, coming off the bench to average 11.7 minutes of action. “A new chapter has opened up in my life,” Milling posted. “I’m excited to announce my commitment to UC Davis. I want to
thank the coaching staff for this opportunity and also thank my family for supporting me through this process.” During his prep career across the pond, Milling averaged 14.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.2 steals in 32 games his senior year, leading CSP Limges to the French high school finals. He also played for Espoirs Hyers-Toulon. He will have three remaining years of NCAA eligibility. Last fall, amid the pandemic, the NCAA instated a one-time waiver of transfer rules, allowing for D-I players to leave one school for another without sitting out a season. UCD closed out the 2020-21 season 10-8 overall and 6-4 in Big West Conference play. — Reach Owen Yancher at oyancher@ davisenterprise.net. Follow him via Twitter at @530athletics.

Something about the way he moves D
avis Aquatic Masters will say goodbye to longtime coaches Stu and Mary Kahn at a retirement party on April 25. But their work will continue in my swimming styles for as long as I swim. Their coaching, clinics, videos and “swiminars” will continue to inform my hands, arms and legs. Elbows high. Fingers like cups grab the water. Strong, rigid forearms like paddles row the body forward. Then a final push against the water. Knees rigid, ankles loose, kick strong. I may be slow, but I am slow in good form. May 1 will be Craig Mallery’s first day as head coach. My first question to him will be: “Is the Lake Berryessa Swim coming back this year?” DAM’s signature open-water event was canceled last June due to COVID-19. Kevin Waterson, president of
the DAM Board, says a race is possible for this year, but much of it is in the hands of public agencies that would permit and inspect the activity. But if the show does go on ... did the one-year cancellation count as one of my two years of expulsion for not getting out when instructed to in 2018? I was previously banned for refusing to get out of the water when time was called on the 1-hour event, which took me about 1 hour, 45 minutes. I later proposed a reform which would allow swimmers 80-and-over to swim as long as they need to without the need to record their times. DAM has made some changes which will allow more swimmers to use Civic Pool. Swimmers will be matched for speed, with as many as four to a lane. Two slow swimmers would split a lane.
Not many swim meets have been announced, but we know that the Huntsman Senior Games in St. George, Utah, are on again for October. The city of Woodland’s megapool, the Charles Brooks Community Swim Center, has made a change in practice times which may open more lanes for swimming. Workouts there now begin on the half-hour and hour, instead of just the hour. You still sign up online via the city’s signup genius. I commend some progress
with the city of Davis reservation system for Manor Pool. Signups for the month of April were widely publicized, giving more swimmers a crack at reservations. I scored for almost the entire month of April. I have yet to use most of my reservations due to a minor surgery which keeps me out of the pool. The city’s antiquated software remains a needless impediment that, I have learned, is despised by all who attempt to use it.
D
avis Swim and Fitness has shut down its online reservation system and directed members to set up a new account at MYiCLUBonline. With the new setup, members will be able to make reservations for swimming or other club activities as much as one week in advance. New DSF membership options include one for swimming only.
Get Fit Davis no longer takes reservations for its pool and there is no special membership for swimmers. The 8 to 9 a.m. hour is reserved for Masters only, Monday through Friday. Water polo: Greg Mayeur reported that Davis High School water polo practice began in February. He hopes the Davis Masters group will be able start up again in the fall. For now, Schaal Aquatic Center cannot be booked because the UC Davis campus remains closed. After getting my second vaccine shot, I put myself forward as the nucleus of a reconstituted team. — Mark Braly usually can be found in an area pool.

“Bummer. ... Supremely disappointed ... but our team has resolve and will be back stronger,” Brown said. “The future is bright for Davis football. The JV team looks good ... eighth-grade class is solid as well.” The Blue Devils fell to Cosumnes Oaks at home on April 10 for their senior night. Donovan Garvin led the way for Davis all across the board, rushing for an eye-popping 164 yards with two touchdowns, throwing for 70 yards and an interception, and hauling in a spectacular onehanded interception which he returned for 31 yards. The senior Renaissance man even hauled in an 11-yard reception on a “Philly special”-type flea flicker from Ryan Jaramillo and nearly scored a third touchdown as time expired, leaping the final three yards before being called out-ofbounds near the goal-line pylon. Garvin was aided in the backfield by tailback Aaron Turner’s 32-yard outing and through the air by Andrew Baum, Cole Knutson and Jaramillo, who combined for four completions totaling 70 yards. On the defensive end, Brooks anchored the Devil D with help from Jaramillo’s 4.5 tackles, Garvin’s three and several others making big contributions. Jude Vaughn and Josiah Roa both got in the backfield to each record a sack. Notes: Roa will continue his career at Santa Barbara City College starting this fall, while Patton Miller will join Brooks in Spokane on the Whitworth football roster. Smyte, 61, has coached the Devils in two separate stints, for eight seasons. “We’ve never been about winning,” Smyte told The Enterprise earlier this spring. “It’s always about ascribing to the values in our program. Winning a (2019) Delta League championship? Yeah, that was a highlight. Winning a playoff game in front of our home fans? Yeah, that was a highlight. Going from being ranked 1,100th in the state to being in the top 70? Yeah, that was a highlight, from a football perspective. But I tell our guys, if all you’ve learned is football, I’ve failed as a coach.” — Reach Will Wyman at wwyman@davisenterprise.net.

Blue Devil boys net shutout Enterprise staff A shorthanded Franklin tennis squad stood no chance against the DHS boys tennis team Tuesday, succumbing to the locals, 9-0. With only six players, the Wildcats forfeited their three doubles pairing points. Jared Umphress beat Franklin’s Harry Hu (6-1, 6-2) at the No. 1 spot, while Itai Kelman (6-1, 6-2) and Ayden Morgan (6-0, 6-0) had a field day at the Devils’ No. 2 and 3 spots. Arjun Penmesta (6-1, 6-1), Julian Dunn (6-0, 6-1) and Elias Toy (6-0, 6-0) also topped their Wildcat opponents. DHS (3-0) faces its first true challenge of the spring next Tuesday when the Devils visit Jesuit for a 1:30 match with the Marauders.
Softball Senior Madison Rutherford’s RBI knock made the difference Monday as DHS snapped a fourgame losing streak with a 3-2 win over Will C. Wood. Zoe West tossed a complete game and earned the win, striking out five. Additional run support came via Alex Zurborg (2 RBI) while Olivia Waldren drew a pair of walks. On Tuesday, the Lady Devils returned to action against Elk Grove, but fell 10-0 in a lopsided mercy-rule decision. DHS (2-6) hits the diamond again on Wednesday for a 4 p.m. clash with Kennedy before wrapping up its four-game homestand Thursday against Delta League foe Pleasant Grove (4 p.m.).
Badminton Lisa Wang, Helena Wei, Angela Li and Dua Hassan each won points Tuesday for the Blue Crew, but the Devils couldn’t hold off visiting Rodriguez, falling 5-4 at the DHS North Gym. At Davis’ No. 4 singles spot, Wang defeated RHS’ Nicole Raver (21-12, 21-10), while Wei won 21-17, 21-15. In a seesaw clash, Li outlasted
DHS roundup Mustang Melissa Peng (21-18, 21-16) and Hassan was victorious over Elise Patel, 21-8, 21-10. At No. 1, Devil Melissa Lee nearly forced a third game against Jadeline Lieu. But the Rodriguez top gun held on for the 22-20, 21-19 dub. DHS hosts another match Thursday when rival Vacaville visits town. First swing is set for 2 p.m.
Baseball The Davis High baseball club fell to Franklin, 6-1, on Tuesday afternoon, snapping the Devils’ six-game unbeaten streak to start the season. Davis moves to 6-1 on the season while the Wildcats jump to 7-3 in each teams’ first game of the Delta league slate. The Devil offense struggled to back up starter Luke Carrell, who pitched five innings, allowing three runs and striking out two. Shortstop Rockwell Lybbert pieced together a three-hit day, driving in the Devils’ lone run in the first inning with a line drive to left field. Jordan Painter tripled with two outs in the inning and scored on Lybbert’s single. Up next, the Devils host Franklin on Thursday at 4 p.m.
Boys golf Logan Green and Ryan Firpo carded the Blue Devils’ low rounds of 78 Tuesday as Jesuit won a 12-stroke decision, 387-399, in a Delta League dual competition at El Macero Country Club. Josh Galindo shot 79 and Andre Zhang added a round of 81, while Braeden Schimmel finished at 83 and Ishan Malik tallied 90. The Marauders top outing came via Colman Dupre’s 72. Davis plays again Wednesday, hosting Sheldon at El Macero. First tee off will be at 2:30 p.m.

his time, though, it’s just the two of them after deciding to swap the snow in Ski for the Davis sun this spring — any easy trade-off if you ask me. The two plan to train at DHS and UCD until May and in the meantime are working with the Blue Devils as volunteer pole-vault coaches. Sondre has already punched his ticket to the 2021 Tokyo Olympics after vaulting 5.8 meters in the summer of 2019. The 6-foot, 22-year old also owns the Blue Devils’ 110-meter hurdles record at 14.02. Before the pandemic shut things down in 2020, Simen finished as the Ivy League runner-up in the indoor pole vault (17-05) and won both the
Norwegian U18 and U20 championships, in 2018 and 2019. IN OTHER TRACK-RELATED NEWS ... Blue Devil high jumper Ray Oldham’s 6-4 leap at this past weekend’s competition against Bella Vista moves him to No. 1 overall in the SacJoaquin Section this spring. The next closest jumper is Oak Ridge’s Kyle Enriques at 5-10, who is tied with another member of the Blue Crew, Eli Ishikawa. Last week at the Fullerton Spring Invitational, DHS alum and current Hawaii sophomore Sophie Lodigiani placed ninth overall (19.01.53) in the women’s 5000 meter race. — Reach Owen Yancher at oyancher@davisenterprise.net.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14, 2021 B4
When the ‘community icon’ is also Dad A
few Saturdays ago, Bob was leaving the house to cover an Aggie football game at UC Davis. Molly said, “Bye, Dad. Have a great day at work.” Bob replied, ‘I’m not going to work, honey. I’m going to a football game.” He wasn’t being funny and he wasn’t trying to make a point. On that sunny spring morning, as he left the house with his reporter’s notebook and computer bag, he truly didn’t realize he was going to work. But he was going to work. Just like he has every day for the past 51 years. I met Bob 25 years ago when our paths crossed in a laundromat in Northern Idaho. It took me a year to make the smart and lifechanging move to Davis. During that year, from July of 1995 to July 1996, Bob sent me his column every day. By the time I moved to Davis, I knew many of the characters, issues and quirks that made Davis Davis. Bob’s writing painted a picture of a smart, funny little town with a city council member from another planet (Julie from Mars), a commitment to protecting the health and safety of its smallest residents (a $13,000 toad tunnel) and a belief that everything they did was of the utmost importance, socially, environmentally and politically (hence the nickname, The City of All Things Right and Relevant). It was clear my new sweetheart lived in, observed and wrote about a smart, funny, kind town. Exactly the kind of town where I would love to live.
If I didn’t realize what a big deal Bob Dunning was before I moved to Davis, it didn’t take me long to figure it out. My first job in California came with a daily roundtrip commute to Woodland on the No. 42 Yolobus. It was not uncommon to overhear my fellow commuters discussing, praising, bashing Bob’s latest opinions as we rumbled up and down Highway 113. At one point, I became an unwitting confidant to a woman who announced to me from her window seat her secret love of the newspaper columnist, Bob Dunning. While her disclosure was a bit awkward, I couldn’t help but feel an affinity with her. Although she was unaware of my mutual love for the witty Wary I, I completely understood how she felt. How could you not love Bob Dunning? Eventually, my Woodland commute ended when I took a job with UC Davis. As my professional life advanced, so did my education of all things Bob Dunning. I recall a quote from 1996 in which Bob says “In 20 years, I’ve offended just about everybody in town at least twice. There are no sacred cows.” If he’d offended everybody in town twice, I’m guessing he’d offended everybody at the university at least three times. His words proved to be true and those “sacred cows”

Is it really “work” when this is your office? turned out to be my boss, my boss’s boss and, most frequently, my boss’ boss’ boss. Fortunately for me, the top boss was Chancellor Larry Vanderhoef, a most gracious human being. As I learned to navigate the world of philanthropy at UC Davis, I prayed that the social events I was required to attend would be scheduled for a time earlier in the day than when the evening paper might hit any of my bosses’ doorsteps. My prayers went mostly unanswered and so I feigned ignorance, which didn’t make a lot of sense, considering my soon-to-be husband and “offender of all things sacred” accompanied me to most of these events. There’s nothing like having dinner with the Chancellor after your sweetie has blasted his latest endeavor in the evening paper. While none of this seemed to bother my dinner date, my eyes learned to say, “Sorry about that column. I had nothing to do with it.” As the years went by, it became evident that Bob was going to write what
needed to be written, regardless of the social consequences. One of my fondest memories is attending the Chancellor’s annual Picnic Day Ice Cream Social with Bob and our four toddlers. It was a tradition that we looked forward to every year and, for our kids, it wasn’t Picnic Day without the sprinkles, waffle cones and ice cream.
O
n one occasion, after a particularly scathing column had been written by youknow-who, I confided in the chancellor my great worry that we might be dropped from his invitation list. He encouraged our 4-year-old to go get another scoop of vanilla and promised me that, as long as he was chancellor, we would eat ice cream. I’m not sure if that vow included Bob Dunning or not but he kept his promise. We ate ice cream together every year until he retired. I laugh today at how I used to worry that Bob’s words might offend someone. Offensive or not, he has always written what he believes to be right. The
greater concern was that I might not live up to the public role of being married to Bob Dunning. I realized, early on, that, in our little town, there is no such thing as being anonymous or flying under the radar. As we’ve tried to teach our kids, be your best self every day not just because it’s the right thing to do, but also because everybody is watching. I learned this one morning after our first child was born. I was at a grocery store and she began crying in her baby carrier. I quietly comforted her with the words, “It’s OK, baby Maev.” The person standing next to me in line responded, “Is that Maev Dunning?” One time, when I was picking our kindergartener up from school, another mom asked our child in a concerned voice how he felt about the fact that Bob wrote about him so publicly. Five-year-old Mick asked me later what that meant. He didn’t know what it would be like not to be Mick Dunning whose dad writes about him in the paper. Everyone in our family
knows how hard Bob works writing his column and covering sports. But he never lets it seem hard, even though we know it often is. Even when we’re on vacation or it’s a rare day off and Bob learns that something important — sad, happy, scary, weird — has happened in Davis, he’ll say, “I have to write about this.” No matter where we are or how much other work he has to do, he will tell the story that needs to be told. The story we all need to hear. When Bob headed off to the football game I mentioned earlier, it was under the most unusual of circumstances. An Aggie football game in March, wearing a mask, no Aggie band. No “Sons of California,” no spirited crowd, no halftime show or postgame interviews. Just a game that needed to be covered and shared with the rest of us. Just like every other story he’s shared with us over the last 51 years. — Shelley Dunning is a Davis resident and a mom of four.

There are some new kinds of beer to get used to
I
am not computer-illiterate nor a computer denier. After all, I am writing this column on a computer using a keyboard and the consummate skills requires to “click” and “scroll.” I would admit to being computer semi-literate, although maybe computer-uneasy is a better description. Better yet, perhaps I should admit that I am uneasy with the whole digital-age thing. I do not know what a “blog” is, nor what one does to “post” something. I have yet to listen to a “podcast” or even where to find them and the term “streaming” means nothing. I know what the word “link” means; it’s the blue string of letters and numbers and symbols that one “clicks” to reach interesting places, mostly on Zoom. And turning the computer on and then off, aka “rebooting,” is a sure way to fix any problem before calling the experts. I have a friend of many, many years standing; we knew each other first through rugby, which takes us back to the 1970s, latest. He writes a blog called Taste
Travel Publications; it promotes itself as addressing “What’s great in wine, beer, fine dining, places to stay, places to visit in the State of California.” He also addresses Washington State and, I suppose, Oregon, too. We got together Before COVID after he ran across an edition of this column and we were then able to reconnect over lunch; occasionally I send him a version of this the column if it seems to fall under a the rubric of his blog — that is, rarely. Nevertheless he has been kind enough to make sure that brewers, and others seeking promotion in his blog, who send books or beer samples to him also send those things to me. It is fun, from time to time, to
receive a package that is clearly identified as containing alcoholic beverages for which a signature is required and for which I have never yet been asked to sign. So I also get the thrill of defying the beverage laws. Although this column is not about exploring individual beers and, as often as not, drifts far from beer and brewing, I recall promoting one such beer. I got everything right about it except the name. I discovered this when the marketing person from the brewery let me know about that. Turns out the beer, which was a gluten-reduced low-calorie beer intended for post-athletic refreshment was called not Summerfest but Sufferfest (a label owned by Sierra Nevada that is currently on hold). Life is not so easy, these days, for such beers in a field dominated by Michelob Ultra. Ah well! A package arrived recently from Taste California Travel containing samples of beer from the Green Flash Brewing Company of San Diego and some promotional items. Chief among these
is a hideous pair of sunglasses that I look forward to wearing during an upcoming trip to Maui. The beer is called Saturhaze IPA and is described as a “laid-back, easy drinking 4.2% hazy India Pale Ale with tropical and citrus aromas.” That is a succinct and accurate description and, with a well-controlled and quite modest balance of hop bitterness, promoted as a “crisp finish,” is a refreshing drink. It’s EZY-IPA-HZY. Now, I am an old-fashioned brewer. My first contacts with the industry stretch back into the 1950s. I try hard to forgive myself for my negative reactions to hazy beers or sour beers or funky beers, or juicy beers or whatever beers, that seems to be screaming for attention by being odd. The modern (that is, young) beer-drinking public has heard some of these screams and certain characters have caught on, though many fail. Hazy beers seem to have made the cut, perhaps because this quality is so easily perceived and is so obviously and boldly different. The beer is deliberately hazy.
Who knew? The problem for old brewers is that we have spent our lives trying to assure that beer is brilliantly clear and remains clear throughout its life in the trade. Part of this arises from the brewer’s mantra that “consumers drink with their eyes” and hazy beers just look ugly. Achieving stable brilliant beer clarity has been a struggle, and has required a significant investment in technology. So watching all that effort consumed by a disregard for clarity in packaged beer does rather cut against the grain because hazy beers (and sour beers and funky ones, too) can result from brewing ignorance and incompetence or seem at best a backward step. Nevertheless, brewers are always aware of their customer’s preferences. And if I can get over computer and digital stuff I can get over hazy beers. — Reach Michael Lewis at lewiswales@me.com.

Yolo County SPCA adds kid-sized masks to fundraising collection Special to The Enterprise The Yolo County SPCA’s “Spring-has-Sprung” facemask collection now including kid’s sizes for its fundraiser for the Community Cat Kindness Fund. There are three brand-new fabric patterns, including a dog pattern. The children’s masks have adjustable elastic via beads and are available in size small for 3- to 4-year-olds and a medium child’s size for 5- to 12-year-olds. The new patterns come in adult sizes, too. Yolo SPCA encourages ordering early while it has the widest selection available since some of the original fabric designs are in limited supply. To cover its costs, the organization asks for a minimum donation of $15 per mask.
These masks make great gifts and are easily mailed to gift recipients inexpensively. All of the masks have bendable nose bands and are made of quality materials, including the Cali Fabrics elastic and made with 100% cotton fabrics, including a very soft tea-dyed muslin for the inner fabric. The pattern for this mask allows a small “pocket” of space on the inside of the double cotton fabric making them very comfortable to wear, with the kitty-themed or neutral fabric designs on the front. YSPCA thanks the team of sewing volunteers who helped make many of these masks and special thanks to Julie and Perla who have continued to help making the masks including the new
fabric designs. Photos of these new fabric patterns and more of the Early Spring adult masks in 13 fabric patterns are posted on the Yolo SPCA website at https:// yolospca.org/ and https:// yolospca.org/winter-fundraiserkitty-themed-masks as well aYolo SPCA Facebook at https://www. facebook.com/YoloCountySPCA/ For information or to order, email emsamitz@dcn.org or call 530-756-5165 indicating which fabric designs by number code and how many you would like. The masks can be purchased by cash or checks made to Yolo SPCA with “CCKF” in the memo area. Your order can be picked up in Davis once it is ready, and you will be contacted on where to pick it up.

THURSDAY, APRIL 22
REELS ON WHEELS Meet at sunset at the Mariani Nut parking lot, on Railroad Avenue across from the Post Office, for a showing of an exciting 2020 Hollywood family movie release shown in “reels on wheels” style, projected on a big screen with audio broadcast via car radio. Pizza Factory is scheduled to be on site selling pizza by the slice and Kona Ice is expected to have a truck onsite as well. This free event will be limited by space and/or to the first 75 cars.
FRIDAY, APRIL 23
GAME NIGHT Bring your family out for a night on the (small) town and enjoy a board game from one of the many socially-distanced tables on and around Main Street. While there, join in our downtown-wide “Duck Hunt.” Find a rubber duck, get a Lester’s Farm Bakery cookie from a participating retailer… And keep the duck! 100 ducks will be hidden in and around downtown businesses, refreshed throughout the day until 5 p.m. A great, self-guided family activity for all ages.
SATURDAY, APRIL 24 GARBAGE PICK UP
FAMILY FEAST Winters’ Fourth Friday is back with a family-focused theme, hosted outside of the Berryessa Gap Tasting Room. Berryessa Gap will feature family favorites hot dogs and brats, with a wine by the glass special for adults. While safely enjoying downtown, enjoy sidewalk sales by Winters Collective, Farmer’s Closet or Ciarlo Fruit & Nut. Kona Ice is featuring a new offering that's sure to be a family favorite: ice cream.
Join in a city- (and creek-) wide cleanup event at 9 a.m. This self-guided competition works on the honor system. Register for a garbage bag at 13 Russell Street after 9 a.m. and return by noon with your trashiest finds. Earn prizes for biggest haul and weirdest pickups. Trash-pick historical downtown Winters, or scavenge along Putah Creek. The family that collects the most garbage in a single bag wins our yet-unannounced grand prize, not to be missed. Bring water and wear sunscreen.
