And during his 31 years on earth, he “grew into a man of significance whose life was full,” said Nancy.

In death, he has become even more. Thanks to Nathan’s desire to become an organ and tissue donor, two lives have been saved and likely many more impacted since Nathan’s death on March 31.

He was the chosen child of Steve and Nancy Streeter, who adopted him the year after his birth.

He was a graduate of Davis High School (Class of 2008) who became a filmmaker and a member of the county transportation district’s citizens advisory committee.

He was also an extrovert in an introvert’s body, his mother

spite of all of his physical differences … that he was able to still pass on life to others,” said Nancy, “in a way, that’s a legacy.

That’s a life giving a life.”

———— Nathan was around 3 months old when a doctor friend told his parents that he wasn’t acting like a typical 3-month-old. He was later diagnosed with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy.

The disability was significant, but Nathan was able to communicate with his eyes early on, “and we began to realize from the inside out there was an intelligent child in there,” said Nancy.

Surrounded with support, he entered regular classrooms early on, including, after the Streeters moved to Davis from Southern California, Willett Elementary and Emerson Junior High School. He graduated with a full academic diploma from Davis High School in 2008.

Nathan went on to take college courses in video production at Sacramento City College and Cosumnes River College.

He got his business license, obtained a grant and brought in enough money to hire assistants. The Communication

“This prominent and visible location will operate as the dedicated KDVS headquarters,” KDVS General Manager Noel Fernandez and UC Davis Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Pablo Reguerín announced in an April 2 press release.

BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer UC Davis’ student-run radio station, KDVS, is set to leave its Freeborn Hall headquarters after more than five decades in the historic building’s basement, the station announced earlier this month. KDVS follows other programs and organizations, including The Pantry and The California Aggie, in leaving Freeborn Hall, which was slated for demolition in 2018 after failing to satisfy building regulations for earthquake safety.

KDVS is expected to relocate to the first floor of the southeast

While the new headquarters will see more foot traffic, it is smaller — roughly a third the size — of KDVS’ Freeborn Hall space. Campus administrators and the station’s student leadership have cheered the move, but news of the downsize caused an uproar among KDVS alumni, a large group of whom have launched a campaign to “save” the freeform radio station.

WOODLAND — Three grieving relatives gave victim impact statements Wednesday in Yolo Superior Court, where a Woodland man was sentenced to 17 years in state prison for killing another man he once called a friend.

“My heart has been broken, completely broken,” said Gene Sanchez, whose nephew Anthony “Shrimp” Bosser, 23, was fatally shot by Stefon Clifford Ceaser during a March 15, 2019, altercation that Bosser reportedly initiated.

“We all make mistakes. We’ve all fallen short. But it gave the man no right to do what he did,” Sanchez said.

According to Yolo County prosecutors, Bosser had confronted Ceaser over inappropriate texts he sent to Bosser’s 13-year-old niece, fighting with him in the front yard of a mutual friend’s house before the brawl moved inside.

In the house, Bosser reportedly pulled a shirt over Ceaser’s head so he couldn’t see, and Ceaser blindly swung at Bosser with a kitchen knife.

At one point, Ceaser left the scene and obtained a gun, returning 15 minutes later to fatally shoot Bosser

Briefly Fire burns grass by train tracks Davis firefighters responded to a vegetation fire Tuesday night along F Street north of Davis.

The fire began at about 6 p.m., burning a roughly 50-yard stretch of grass along the railroad tracks near Anderson Road, Division Chief Paul Swanson said. No injuries were reported, and the tracks sustained no damage.

As of Thursday, the cause of the fire remained under investigation. According to Swanson, someone reported seeing a man leave the area around the time the blaze started, but police officers searched the area and were unable to find him.

Train access to the area was shut down for about an hour so that crews could lay fire hoses down across the tracks during the incident, Swanson said.

Get a free bus ride for vaccine Yolobus is offering free transit rides for COVID-19 vaccination appointments.

The free rides will be available on Yolobus fixed routes, paratransit and micro-transit services until June 30.

To get a free ride to and from a COVID-19 vaccination appointment, a rider must show the driver confirmation of the appointment (appointment card, email or text message).

All lined up with no place to go T he last time I was in a parade was the Fourth of July of 1955. I was 8 years

old.

Dad had dressed me in some sort of Paul Revere outfit and my brother, a year older and much stronger, was to carry a giant American flag mounted on a long pole. The flag had only 48 stars.

The campus ROTC was to lead the parade with its official U.S. flag, but for some reason, at the last minute, they were unable to attend.

Given that my brother was now holding the only American flag from here to Dixon, the two of us were moved to the front of the parade and proudly led it around Central Park like magnificent heroes returning from war.

I haven’t been in a parade since.

Many parades have come and gone, but an invitation has never again come my way.

That memory came flooding back when I saw the “Let’s have a parade!” headline in Wednesday’s Enterprise.

“The popular Picnic Day Parade

and the Davis Children’s Christmas Parade were canceled by the pandemic,” the story begins.

“But the community is invited to enjoy a do-it-yourself parade this Saturday, April 24, to honor Davis Enterprise columnist and sportswriter Bob Dunning on his 51-plus years with the newspaper.”

Turns out I won’t be in this parade either.

“All types of vehicles — cars, trucks, bikes and other wheeled contraptions — are welcome, and decorations are encouraged. Participants (no registration is required) are asked to gather before 11 a.m. Saturday in the Veterans Memorial Center parking lot, 203 E. 14th Street.

Woodland robbery suspect arrested on Highway 113

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer A Fairfield man is facing robbery charges after allegedly helping himself to merchandise at Woodland’s Home Depot store and scuffling with a security officer who tried to thwart the theft.

According to Woodland police Sgt. Victoria Danzl, a loss prevention officer at the store confronted 33-year-old Keyon Payne on Tuesday evening after he filled a shopping cart with items at the East Main Street store, then left without paying.

In the parking lot, Payne “shoved the cart

into the loss-prevention officer, striking him with it,” Danzl said. “As the loss-prevention officer held onto the basket, Payne continued to pull the cart, trying to remove it from the officer’s grasp.”

At that point, Payne reportedly removed one item from the cart and fled in his vehicle, which Yolo County sheriff ’s officers stopped shortly after 6 p.m. along southbound Highway 113 between Woodland and Davis.

From Page A1 near the intersection of West and Beamer streets.

Emergency personnel reported finding an open pocketknife under Bosser’s body when they arrived on scene. Ceaser, charged with first-degree murder, claimed he’d acted in selfdefense.

Given those circumstances, prosecutor Preston Schaub worked with Bosser’s family to negotiate a plea deal in which Ceaser, 32, pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter last month as the case neared its trial date.

“We’re not happy with the outcome, but we respect that. We receive that,” Gene Sanchez said.

His brother, Steve Sanchez, recalled officiating at the funeral service for Bosser, a softball enthusiast who had just moved back to Woodland from Texas for a new job he never got to start.

“It’s very difficult putting a 23-year-old young man in his grave,” he said. “You were supposed to be friends. That is crazy. It’s absurd, what happened.”

Despite mourning his nephew, Steve Sanchez expressed a willingness to

someday forgive Ceaser for his actions. To Ceaser’s relatives, who also sat in the courtroom, he said: “My family has no grudge, no ill feelings toward you. We are praying for you. There are no winners here.”

A victim advocate read a letter written by Lance Bosser, Anthony’s father, who recalled the guilt he felt for not protecting his son, and said he spent a year nearly drinking himself to death “trying to numb the pain.”

“All I wanted to know was why — why did you do this? Why didn’t you just leave and stay gone? Why did you have to come back?” Bosser wrote. “I do know that no matter the reason why, it will never be justified. How is it fair that you get to talk to your family, you get to watch your kids grow up, your dad will get to hug you again?”

With that, Judge Timothy Fall sentenced Ceaser to the agreed-upon 17-year term. His public defender, Richard Van Zandt, asked the judge to preside over a courthouse wedding between Ceaser and his fiancée prior to his state prison transfer, but Fall declined that request.

City’s July 4 celebration canceled again

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer For the second year in a row, there will be no Fourth of July festivities and fireworks in Community Park.

The city announced Wednesday that due to COVID-19 public health considerations, no large public event will be held and instead, plans are in the works to find another way to commemorate the

holiday in the community.

“The city regrets that we cannot hold this annual event loved by so many,” said Mayor Gloria Partida.

“We have worked so hard as a community to combat COVID, and out of an abundance of caution, the best public health decision we can make at this time is to not host a large event.”

Vice Mayor Lucas Frerichs noted that a decision needed to be made sooner

533 D Street

rather than later.

“As we have learned over the last year, pandemic conditions can change quickly, and we must also look at the financial implications of waiting until the last minute to cancel this event,” he said. “Primarily though, we must stay vigilant with COVID precautions and see them through to the end of the pandemic.”

ut I worry about the folks who may get trapped in this traffic trapezoid and not know how to get out. Reminds me of that old Kingston Trio song, “The MTA,” about a guy named Charlie who couldn’t get off his subway train. (“He may ride forever ’neath the streets of Boston, he’s the man who never returned.”)

That would not be a happy way to spend your Saturday.

Now here’s the strange part: “As a COVID safety precaution, there will be no live spectators.”

Wait a minute. No live spectators? Didn’t I just read that I

would be a spectator? I mean, the last time I checked, I still have a pulse. Are they telling me this is actually going to be the Bob Dunning Memorial Parade?

I’ve suggested folks should be encouraged to toss water balloons from their cars as they pass by, but have been told in no uncertain terms that this is not a good idea, so I won’t mention it.

“In addition to individual participants, the parade is expected to feature classic cars driven by members of the Davis Cruise-In.” Makes me wonder if my ’68 Chevy Malibu will make a surprise appearance.

“Members of the Cal Aggie Band have been invited to provide musical accompaniment near the reviewing stand, but they will not march in the parade due to COVID restrictions.”

And if they strike up “Sons of California,” “Aggie Fight” or “Hail to California,” I won’t be able to stop the tears.

“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 in front of Davis High School 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.”

Thus, I will be a spectator once again.

SUMMER s id K r o f s ie it iv t Ac

2021

A world of discovery awaits this summer Enterprise staff In Davis, summer isn't a time to just turn off your brain and laze by the pool or veg out in front of the computer playing video games.

There are myriad opportunities for cultural, physical and educational enrichment for children (and adults).

Citrus Circuits Spots are still available for the Davis Youth Robotics RoboCamps summer sessions hosted by the local high school robotics team, Citrus Circuits. Registration ends June 30 and sessions are filling up.

Intended for students entering fourth through eighth grade, the 2021 RoboCamps will be a virtual hands-on robotics experience. All participating students will need a computer, internet connection, and an open area at home to work.

Camps will run virtually through Zoom and encourage a collaborative learning environment led by experienced Citrus Circuits students and adult mentors. Each camp runs for one week and will be held from June 14 to Aug. 6. There are eight total sessions available for registration.

Three will be introductory/intermediate sessions where no robotics experience is necessary and a structured curriculum is provided. Three intermediate/advanced sessions are available for students who already have experience with VEX robots, and provide campers with more freedom in designing, building and programming.

There will also be a girlpowered session and an advanced programming session. The girl-powered week is run by an allfemale camp staff and is intended to introduce girls to STEM with a structured curriculum similar to the introductory camps.

The advanced programming session is intended for students who already have experience with VEX. Emphasis will be placed on programming challenges where campers learn to implement the ROBOTC language.

Access the Zoom event at https:// us02web.zoom.us/ webinar/register/ WN__APh1o8DSB 6KDGhwYqEAWw. Expert speakers from CALFIRE, ForEverGreen Forestry and the University of California Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources will share information.

Racial-equity lab for leaders set Nonprofit leaders are invited to join I-House and Racial Justice Advocates, a consulting firm of organizational activists in Sacramento, for a four-session learning lab to harness the local nonprofit community’s collective power to foster systemic change and create an anti-racist future for the community.

On every other Thursday morning in May and June, the lab will be held for those interested in creating a shared understanding of how racial inequities, attitudes, policies and practices have collectively created predictable adverse outcomes for Black, Indigenous and People of Color and have shaped their institutions.

I-House is accepting applications for the first learning lab until Monday, April 26, on the I-House website at www.international housedavis.org.

In this book, Hurwitz, best known as Michelle Obama’s head speechwriter, as well as for her time writing for President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, turns her writing chops toward Judaism.

The book is “not a how-to guide … but a why-to guide” and touches on what Judaism can teach about gratitude, mindfulness, work/life balance and politics.

DSIS has information on virtual academy

BY EDWARD BOOTH Enterprise staff writer The Davis School for Independent Study held the first of several planned virtual informational meetings Monday about the school’s upcoming launch of a virtual academy that will incorporate pure distance learning in the 2021-22 school year.

Rob Kinder, principal of DSIS, said the school already focuses on balancing independence with personal attention and strong relationships, so a distance-learning option is a natural fit. When the pandemic hit in March last year, he said, the school was able to maintain its program relatively well.

“We place a high emphasis and a lot of value on prioritizing personal attention and strong relationships and that goes across staff, students and families,” Kinder said. “Also something to point out is that we run a program that is more similar to college.”

DSIS has been around in the district for three decades, Kinder said, and it maintains two core programs: a home school program for grades K-8 and a hybridized learning program for grades 7-12. The homeschool option seeks to be supportive

of parents, and the secondary program is college-like, where students typically come to the DSIS campus for classes only a few days each week.

The virtual academy is similarly going to be split between elementary and secondary students, Kinder said.

Elementary schooling in the virtual academy will consist of live synchronous instruction with teachers, which will include morning classes, small group tutorials, one-on-one meetings and asynchronous work in the afternoons. Secondary students will be given more flexibility in their schedules and be able to accommodate a range of potential needs.

“We especially look to accommodate those needing flexibility in their schedule,” Kinder said. “So for our older students it could be work, it could be students that have shifting schedules who need to work with their families, it could be young children at home, young siblings they need to support. It could be they have a family that loves to travel or travels by necessity and needs to be able to access curriculum remotely.”

Social-emotional learning, Kinder said, will be emphasized daily as part of the curriculum and structure of the virtual learning programs. And some classes — including electives such as art and foreign languages —

will have live synchronous learning opportunities attached.

“DSIS endeavors to be relationship-based, even in a virtual setting,” Kinder said. “And that’s a challenge we are going to face, but we are the ones that we feel are wellequipped to meet that.”

The virtual school intends to offer an SEL — social-emotional learning — block which Kinder said is individualized per student, tailored to their social-emotional needs, and it culminates in a passion project of their choosing with their supervisory teacher. (Every DSIS student is assigned a supervisory teacher, according to Kinder.)

The school also wants to encourage its high school students to enroll in community college classes at Sacramento City College. Kinder said it’s a goal of DSIS for every one of their high school students to enroll in one community college class each year.

Kinder, reiterating that the main purpose of the virtual academy is flexibility, said much has been learned about the use of educational technology in the past year over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The students who should apply to the academy, he said, are really those who’ve found they excel in

distance learning and can maintain good communication and timemanagement skills.

“Some families just don’t feel safe and want to keep their child at home for another semester or year, and we might be a good fit for that,” Kinder said. “But there’s also a good portion of society who really liked working online, same with teachers.

I can vouch that most would say they don’t, same as students, but 5 to 10 percent maybe do and have really been successful and so that’s what we’re trying to create here.”

More information about the virtual academy will be coming over the next few weeks; Kinder said the deadline for applications will likely be some time in May. The Davis school board will be discussing the academy on Thursday, and another information session is planned for April 28.

“This is a long-term option and we recognize the pandemic has changed society and that this is a need,” Kinder said. “This is a need in our district and we want to make sure the needs of all our diverse learners are met.”

Panel talks mental health during pandemic

BY EDWARD BOOTH Enterprise staff writer UC Davis LIVE held a panel discussion on mental health in the COVID-19 pandemic Thursday, covering how the pandemic has exacerbated mental distress and illness in children and adults.

The panelists included Lorin Scher, director of emergency psychiatric services at UC Davis Medical Center, and Paula Wadell, a child and adolescent psychiatrist.

Scher said that, especially in the first months of the pandemic, the medical center emergency department saw an increase in patients arriving for mental health-related reasons, particularly those from more vulnerable populations — people of color, essential workers, younger people who’d lost jobs and people experiencing job insecurity.

Even with the higher number of mental health patients coming into hospitals, Scher said, many of those suffering likely chose to stay home and not seek care because they didn’t want to catch COVID-19.

Wadell said young people have had a variety of different responses to the pandemic. Many have struggled with isolation, with a lack of motivation to engage with distance learning and with general pandemic stress.

It’s a lot more difficult for many kids to engage in distance learning than it is in a classroom setting, she said.

To help with the stress, parents should acknowledge the pandemic and explain how they personally handle it to their family members, she said. Additionally, Wadell recommended developing a list of small things that kids enjoy — like going for a walk or a special snack — and finding ways to incorporate them proactively into the day.

Scher made a distinction between mental distress and mental illness, both of which have been exacerbated during the pandemic.

He said, typically, about 11% of U.S. residents are experiencing significant symptoms of anxiety or depression at any given time, with a higher rate in certain populations.

During the pandemic, he said, about 41% of residents are experiencing

those significant symptoms.

“It’s important to mention that major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, trauma-related disorders are chronic illnesses just like diabetes, asthma, cardiac conditions,” Scher said.

Wadell added that mental wellness occurs on a continuum, and that there’s no clear line that determines when mental distress transitions into a mental illness.

“If the air filled tomorrow with smoke, many people would have breathing problems, those with asthma would have even more,” Wadell said. “When we add a very significant stressor, everyone’s going to feel it, everyone’s going to move along the curve, and some people are actually going to move into the category where they have what we would diagnose as a significant disorder, and those with a disorder are typically going to experience worsening symptoms.”

Scher said he believes the mental health system needs to be expanded into primary care, where screening questions for depression, anxiety

County reports five OBITUARY COVID deaths

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Yolo County reported five COVID-19 deaths on Thursday, bringing to 205 the total number of county residents lost during the pandemic.

Two of the deaths reported Wednesday involved West Sacramento residents and three were from Woodland. Three individuals are currently hospitalized with COVID19 in Yolo County.

The continued spread of COVID-19 in the community is evident on the county’s online COVID-19 dashboard, where 103 new cases have been reported countywide over the last seven days, including 18 on Thursday. The county’s test positivity rate remains low at 0.6 percent.

As of Thursday, the city of Davis has seen 2,142 residents test positive for COVID-19 and 18 die.

Thursday brought news of more COVID-19 in the schools — sampling from an air filter in a classroom at North Davis Elementary School tested positive for the coronavirus and Davis High School announced a positive test in a student.

Last week a student at Emerson Junior High tested positive for the virus and an air filter in a Korematsu Elementary School classroom showed the presence of the virus.

While the Emerson case sent numerous students and teachers into quarantine, that is not the case at Davis High.

According to a letter sent to parents and guardians,

the student, who was last on campus on Monday, “was not found to be in close contact with students or staff during their infectious period and therefore, no classes will need to quarantine.”

Meanwhile, after Healthy Davis Together reported last week it had detected the coronavirus on an air filter in a classroom at Korematsu, students and staff were encouraged to get tested but not quarantined. A new air filter was installed and showed no evidence of the virus when it was checked this week.

The positive sample in a North Davis classroom was reported Wednesday night and Healthy Davis Together was on site Thursday morning to provide rapid testing for students with HDT consent forms on file.

Healthy Davis Together is conducting a pilot project at Korematsu and North Davis, checking air filters in some classrooms at both schools weekly for the presence of the virus.

The protocol for when the coronavirus turns up on an air filter is to recommend students and staff get tested as soon as possible and, if negative, to test again a few days later.

“In addition, HDT will increase the frequency of environmental monitoring in that classroom to watch for spread of the virus,” the Healthy Davis Together website states.

disorders or trauma-related disorders could be asked.

Scher said that, in terms of wellbeing, many of the activities that help with physical health are a boon to mental health as well. He recommended exercise, sleeping a regular eight hours and limiting alcohol consumption, which has seen an uptick during the pandemic. He also said being with loved ones and being connected with family and friends helps with mental health, which is one area that became more difficult during the pandemic.

“One of the things we see when someone is getting depressed is they start to isolate,” Scher said. “When you see that someone is isolating themselves and not acting the way they did before when they were healthier, you want to encourage that person, or someone that’s close to them to get them help.”

Wadell said one silver lining of the pandemic is that it’s shown how useful telehealth appointments can be, for general convenience and for people who are in areas far away from mental health professionals.

Jacob Alexander Lee Jan. 6, 1998 — April 11, 2021

A tender heart was released from this world on Sunday, April 11.

Our beloved Jacob Alexander Lee (Jake), age 23, passed away in his Davis home due to an accidental drug overdose.

Jake was living a life he loved. He had a wonderful apartment where he was surrounded by orderly stacks of the vinyl albums and books he treasured.

Most prominent among his personal pictures were photos of Jake with his arm around his older sister, Shayna, who showed him unwavering love and support.

He spent as much time as he could hanging out with his friends, talking, teasing and laughing. Jake generously shared details of his long-time struggles with depression and anxiety. His years of work to understand himself and build a life made him a sensitive friend and non-judgmental confidante.

Jake was an English major in Arizona State University’s online undergraduate program and was steadily progressing toward graduation. He worked at a local restaurant, where he shared his warmth and dry wit with co-workers and many regular customers, some of whom had known him since childhood. Among his earlier milestones was his bar mitzvah at age 13 in Davis.

His sly, quick sense of humor was his calling card, as were the evocative, sometimes esoteric T-shirts he wore.

He could completely disarm with an astute observation.

And he always carried a book.

David Foster Wallace was a favorite, but he was just as likely to report that he had finished something by Shakespeare, was embarking on a 19th- or early-20th-century author such as Marcel Proust, or was enjoying the irreverent humor of Hunter S. Thompson.

He is survived by his sister, Shayna Alexis Lee; his mother, Kristin (Little) Lee; his father Richard L. Lee; his grandmother Marian L. Little; uncle Sandy Little; aunt Kelley Blewster; aunt Molly Little; uncle Jeremy Lee; uncle Michael Lee; aunt Cynthia Tarkanian-Lee; and numerous extended family members. He was preceded in death by grandparents Ruth Lee Wise; Jack Lee; and Mac Little; and by his step-grandfather, Henry Wise.

A graveside service will be held for Jake at 3 p.m. Thursday, April 22, in the Jewish section of the Davis Cemetery. Arrangements are being handled by Smith Funeral Home. Those who wish to sign a guestbook online may do so at www.smith-funerals.com, where information about charitable donations will be posted.

LEGACY: As end neared, Streeter planned for the future From Page A1 Technology and Education Center in Sacramento hired Nathan and his team to produce instructional videos for speech-device users.

He made friends everywhere “just by being himself,” said Nancy. “Just by doing what he loves to do.

“He was an extrovert person that figured out how to live in an introverted body,” she explained.

“He really was always interested in people. The only thing that slowed him down was that the part of the brain that was affected in utero had to do with the motor skills and some of that also meant that he could tire very quickly…

“He’d get worn out. That was something he learned how to live with and he maximized the time that he had with people that he really wanted to spend time with.”

Among the people he loved to spend time with were the drivers on the buses he loved to ride. He chatted with them using a speech device activated with a head switch. He was a bit of a flirt with the female drivers and conductors on the double-deck buses, said Nancy.

Nathan also served on the Yolo County Transportation District Citizens Advisory Committee from 2017 to 2020 and heading into 2020, he was looking forward to moving out of the family home and into supportive housing, Steve said.

But he was also beginning to tire more.

“He was beginning to wind down,” said Nancy. “As much as he might have wanted to move out, it was more than he could have physically handled.”

“We knew, because we knew of all of the underlying neurological issues, that his time would be foreshortened,” she said.

Nathan’s health began to decline in early 2020 and by last summer, doctors told his parents he probably had about six months left to live.

“Someone at that point, when we were in the hospital, said, ‘If this does become worse, would you consider organ donation?’” said Nancy, who noted that while Nathan’s disability was neurological, his organs were young and healthy.

That Nathan wanted to be an organ donor was made clear back in 2011 when he obtained his California identification card complete

with that pink donor dot.

When hospice care began in October 2020, the Streeters were advised that if Nathan were to die at home, his organs and tissue could not be donated, so a few months later, in March, when Nathan appeared to be nearing the end, paramedics were called to transfer him to Sutter Davis Hospital.

Nathan was already known to staff at Sutter Davis. CEO Rachael McKinney first met him back in the fall of 2019, and being able to care for Nathan and his family and fulfill his wishes was an honor, hospital staff said.

But Sutter Davis had never gone through this process before.

“We just have not had a situation where a patient met the criteria for donation or had the ability to provide the gift of donation based on needs identified,” said Tammy Powers, chief nurse executive at Sutter Davis.

“This is the first time we’ve actually had a match.”

A team from Sierra Donor Services arrived on site to help manage Nathan’s care while they ran tests to determine which of his organs were appropriate for donation and then began

working within their network to evaluate potential recipients.

“Our team was right by their side,” said Powers. “Our nursing team and physicians continued to care for Nathan through the entire donation review process.

They were there at the bedside, caring for Nathan, caring for (his parents). Just providing support and also appreciation for the gift they were providing.”

The Streeters “had clearly spent a significant amount of time preparing for this,” she said.

“They knew what Nathan’s wishes were and how to honor him, so they had worked through a lot of this even before he arrived at the hospital. But it was our job to just take care of them with dignity and respect and care and compassion.

“It was an honor. It was just a true honor that they chose us to be with them during that incredibly special and very difficult time,” Powers said.

The enormity of what was happening, and the impact it was having on the hospital staff, became evident when the time came for Nathan to be moved from the ICU to the surgical suite for removal of his organs.

More than 50 staff members

lined the hallway as Nathan was wheeled from the elevator to the surgery, accompanied by his parents.

“Everybody was there to care for him and care for that family and hold them up,” said Powers.

Just before Nathan was wheeled away, Steve and Nancy turned back to the staff assembled there and read aloud a piece about Nathan’s life, McKinney said.

“There was laughter and there were tears and it was one of the most impactful moments in my career, to see this generosity.”

Said Powers: “It was such an honor to be part of that experience with them and I was just so thankful for the gift that they gave to so many.”

How many will benefit from Nathan’s organ and tissue donation is unclear. But on Monday, Steve Streeter received a call from Sierra Donor Services letting him know two lives had been saved because of Nathan.

“For me, it’s not that his death was not in vain, but it’s one life forwarding life to another,” said Nancy. “I’m really proud.

“This child grew into a man of significance whose life was full.

And I can’t be any prouder of him.”

TREATMENT: Supervisors debate effectiveness of proposed program From Page A1 in partnership with Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig and Yolo County Supervisor Gary Sandy of Woodland. Sandy was joined by Supervisors Jim Provenza of Davis and Angel Barajas of Woodland in support of the bill, while Don Saylor of Davis opposed the motion and Oscar Villegas of West Sacramento abstained.

The bill would allow the county to create a pilot project, dubbed “Hope Yolo,” to address substance use disorders in Yolo County by establishing a locked drug-treatment facility for felony offenders.

AB 1542 is currently moving through the state Assembly and was passed unanimously by the Assembly Public Safety Committee last week.

A key concern about the bill that has many drug treatment experts in opposition is what some have called the coercive element; namely, that offenders who

are deemed appropriate for the treatment program would be given the choice of that or jail. McCarty has said he is continuing to work with opponents to address those concerns.

Under the bill, those eligible for the treatment program would include individuals who have committed “drug-motivated” felonies that would otherwise result in them being sentenced to jail or prison.

Individuals who commit misdemeanors, simple drug possession, sex offenses and strike offenses would not be eligible.

Yolo County’s Health and Human Services Agency would be responsible for deciding the level and length of treatment necessary for participants and once those participants have completed the secured inpatient program, they would move to a residential treatment facility or receive intensive outpatient treatment.

After successfully completing the program, their

current charges and prior drug convictions would be dismissed and expunged from their record.

In pitching AB 1542 to the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, Reisig said, “what we’re currently doing in California isn’t working.”

Every day, said Reisig, too many people from Yolo County who suffer from serious substance use disorders go to prison or jail, “and you don’t go to jail or prison to get well.

“But the problem is we don’t have any secure alternatives for a certain segment of the population … who are are seriously addicted, but can’t be simply released into a residential program where they can walk out the door or crawl out a window.”

The result, he said, is “a group of offenders who repeat — the recidivists — again and again and again and again, and it’s causing great turmoil to our communities and our businesses.”

In urging his colleagues

to support AB 1542 in principle, Sandy said, “our community is under siege from these individuals.”

“We have victims every day in our community who suffer at the hands of individuals who repeat crimes over and over and over.

That’s a sad commentary.

They’re the ultimate coercion victims because they are not given any choice in this discussion, other than to suffer at the hands of others who are bent on mischief.”

Sandy added that he has “as much compassion as the next person for individuals who are suffering from addiction.” However, he said, “to the extent that they are making other people suffer, that’s unfair and it’s wrong. So we need to find a way to provide some sort of protection against them, find some better way of dealing with them …

“I’d like to move ahead with the legislation and continue this conversation,” he said.

Even if AB 1542 passes

the Legislature this year, that’s just the first step, Reisig noted.

Step two would be everyone coming together to design the program, including health and human services staff, the public defender, treatment providers and more.

“And the process may result in us going nowhere, it may literally fail,” said Reisig, “but the conversation is worth continuing.”

Not everyone is on board with the proposal.

Yolo County Public Defender Tracie Olson said that the county needs to be doing much more and could be without legislation.

“We have that capability to do that right now,” Olson told county supervisors.

Speaking to the Assembly Public Safety Committee last week, Olson said, “we should start offering in-custody treatment as soon as people enter the jail and transition them to the community as soon as it is safe to do so.

“My clients charged with felonies often sit in jail from 45 days to 120 days, or longer, waiting for their case to resolve. This is precious time where they could be engaged in treatment services,” Olson said. “There is no reason to wait until someone is sentenced to prison to offer them treatment.

“Also, we do not need new legislation to build a new secured facility, or to repurpose an empty one with all of the attendant costs, when instead we can convert existing jail beds to treatment beds and accomplish the same goal.”

Karen Larsen, head of Yolo County’s Health and Human Services Agency, said there are many opportunities to intervene with individuals prior to the point of incarceration “and I’m not sure we’ve fully vetted or optimized all of those.”

“I think it would be great if we could invest a little more upstream,” she said.

KDVS: Alumni group works to preserve station’s place, literally and figuratively From Page A1 called “Save KDVS” said in an April 5 press release.

An online petition organized by the group has gathered over a thousand signatures. This week, more than 30 former general managers of the station, dating back to the 1970s, signed a letter asking campus officials to reconsider the move. “This plan will be extremely harmful to the function of the radio station, its historic and ongoing mission, and the wider community KDVS serves,” the letter states.

Since it began in 1964, KDVS has won a loyal following and earned a reputation as one of California’s best student-run radio stations. In addition to broadcasting music and live interviews and performances, KDVS has compiled a vast and coveted music library of CDs and vinyl housed in its Freeborn headquarters.

“I got my degree at UC Davis, but I got my real education at KDVS, a combination of the phenomenal music library and the station’s large, diverse community,” Brendan Boyle, who owns a record store in San Diego, said in a testimonial on the Save KDVS website.

Last summer, the Associated Students of UC Davis, the governing body that oversees KDVS and other student programs, convened a workgroup of

people with expertise in broadcast and engineering to advise campus administrators and student leaders on their search for a new home for the station.

Using a map of the KDVS headquarters in Lower Freeborn, the group did a virtual walkthrough to assess how much space would be needed to fulfill each of the station’s functions. “We went through room by room and item by item,” said Justin Kable, a civil engineer and former general manager of KDVS, who was part of the workgroup. “In the end, we determined KDVS would need the same amount of space to maintain its functionality.”

The decision that KDVS would downsize to a much smaller space was made without consulting the workgroup or other supporters of KDVS, workgroup members and alumni told The Enterprise. “It came as a surprise,” said Kable, “especially how drastic the cut in space was.”

According to the former general manager, there are key elements of KDVS that can’t be recreated without adequate space. “KDVS used to have bands come from all over the country,” Kable said. “They would do an interview in the broadcast booth, pick out a record from the music library and then play a live set in the recording studio.”

Without enough space in the new headquarters for multiple booths and studios, alumni worry that many of these features will fall by the wayside.

The Save KDVS group has also called attention to unsettled storage plans for

KDVS’ vaunted music library, which is nicknamed “The Stacks.” According to the press release from Student Affairs and KDVS, the new headquarters will have space for a broadcast studio, office space for staff, and storage for some — but not all — of the music library.

“To preserve the entire collection, additional offsite storage for the remainder of The Stacks collection will also be temporarily provided until a more permanent location is identified,” Fernandez and Reguerín said.

The bottom line, broadcast experts and alumni

DAVIS GLASS & SCREEN • Shower Doors • Tabletops • Mirrors • Beveled Glass • Wardrobe Doors • Beveled Mirrors

said, is that it isn’t possible to downsize the headquarters without losing much of the radio station.

Campus administrators and KDVS leadership remain committed to the plans for the new headquarters, which they say

Connections increase impact of arts Speical to The Enterprise

ARTS ALLIANCE DAVIS

ocal artists continue connecting and sharing their craft, knowing their voice is amplified when they work together. That was the message on April 8 at a virtual meeting of Arts Alliance Davis.

The 18 attendees heard first about the newly formed Sacramento Alliance for Regional Arts. The nonprofit promotes and advocates for arts, art education and cultural equity in the greater Sacramento region. Bill Blake of AMS Planning and Research, a Sacramento consulting firm specializing in the arts, said SARA “came about because of COVID and all of the things that have happened,” in the arts community.

While there are state and national arts organizations, artists and related groups needed a regional voice with organized, sustained advocacy. If a concert hall closes in Folsom, he said, the impact is felt far beyond that city’s borders. Musicians or employees may live in Davis or Roseville, for example.

“You don’t need to follow the jurisdictional boundaries for it to have an impact in the area,” Blake said, calling it “a cultural ecosystem.” By creating a regional coalition, “if something’s happening in Placer County, those elected leaders are hearing from other surrounding counties that it impacts. … Elected officials can easily dismiss the arts if we don’t speak with one voice.”

He urged Alliance attendees to become involved in SARA as it’s being built. “We need more representation from your community,” he said, referring to Yolo County. Visit https://www.artsforsac.org/.

Arts Alliance Davis was formed a few years ago as a grassroots effort to give artists and their supporters the opportunity to gather, collaborate and create meaningful impact. Meetings are open to anyone. Each meeting includes introductions and announcements from participants, who shared ideas and updates, including: Rachel Hartsough, Davis’ arts and culture manager, noted how groundbreaking started on the new plaza being constructed near the DresbachHunt-Boyer Mansion at 604 Second St. Commissioned as a donation in 2017 to celebrate the city’s 100th anniversary, Davis artist Susan Shelton created a 7-foot-diameter bronze seal with tributes to the native Patwin people, wildlife, plants and Putah Creek; the settlement by Jerome C. Davis; the significance of the railroad, Interstate 80 and Highway 113; the long partnership between UC Davis and the city, and the stories and aspirations of the community.

The plaza project will include bricks inscribed with names of Davis residents and local organizations and should be completed by summer.

Hartsough said the most recent city budget cut about 40 percent of the funding for city arts grants. The community will start to see that impact next year. She encouraged artists to thank the City Council for previous grants, and share their stories of impact, encouraging restoration of previous levels of funding as soon as resources allow.

Much of the Arts and Cultural

Affairs funding that is available this year is being used in creative ways that encourage public health and economic recovery, and amplify the voices and stories of the community members and artists of color in the region.

Behind the scenes, the city has taken advantage of the shutdown to make improvements to its arts facilities, like upgrades to the Veterans Memorial Theatre and repairs to the Varsity Theatre roof. City officials are beginning a conversation to rethink how the Vets Theatre will be used in the future, and how to make it more accessible to community groups.

Jessie Nakahara, a program associate with the Arts and Cultural Affairs program, has been busy revamping the arts and culture web page, https://www.cityofdavis.org/arts, on the city’s website, so it’s easier to navigate. She also worked with five local artists on Healthy Davis Together art banners that will go up around town in the next few weeks.

———— Autumn Labbé-Renault, chair of Arts Alliance Davis, is executive director of Davis Media Access. Since March 17, 2020, she’s led the “COVID-19 Community Report” every Tuesday at noon on KDRT 95.7 FM, documenting the pandemic’s effects in Yolo County. The podcasts are at https://kdrt.org/program/ covid-19-community-report.

She said the nonprofit media company is remodeling part of its building on Fifth Street, adding a media lab “to enable additional workshops that we’ve never had a space to do.”

They hope to have it open to the public in late fall.

———— Stacie Frerichs, director of Davis Arts Center, announced it will offer four weeklong sessions of in-person all-day summer camps this year for children ages 6 to 12, starting July 19.

It’s also continuing the popular Art Camp Kits for self-guided art projects that children 6 and older can do at home. Registration opens on April 20. Visit https://davisartscenter.org/ summer-2021/ for details.

———— Yelena Ivashchenko, the owner of Bohème Hip Used Clothing, is active with the Davis Downtown Business Association. DDBA plans to bring music downtown as part of Open-Air Davis, replacing the music at the Davis Farmers Market’s Picnic in the Park. However, the city has not permitted any live music for E Street Plaza. Safety protocols require reserved seating for such events. She’s hopeful that may be possible by late June or early July.

Davis Downtown is making postcards out of its Heart to Hearts entries, where artists filled hearts with illustrations of why they love the town. The postcards will be sold at https://davisdowntown.com/, and buyers may select a downtown business to receive the proceeds.

———— Lorie Hammond, the founder of Peregrine School, announced it has a small outdoor stage available for rent, especially on evenings and weekends when the school is not in session. The grounds have the capacity for an

audience of about 50 people socially distanced and up to 150 without.

They hope to have details finalized this month, and to start renting it out in May. Visit https://www.peregrine school.org/.

Hartsough said the city is helping support this venture as a pilot project.

———— Emily Henderson, artistic director for Acme Theatre Co., talked about the youth theatre group’s upcoming performance of “As You Are,” a loose adaptation of Shakespeare’s “As You Like It.” It will be presented on Zoom at 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 24.

Henderson said there’s a potential for outdoor performances starting this summer. Visit https://www. acmetheatre.net/ for details.

———— Michael French of UC Davis Arts encouraged people to check out the virtual programming available online at https://arts.ucdavis.edu/, including the department of theater and dance master of fine arts projects through April 23.

The Fashion and Design Society’s free show, typically a Picnic Day event, was set for 7 p.m. on April 15.

“Uncharted” features clothing designed by UC Davis students. The recording will be part of the virtual Picnic Day celebration on April 17 at https://picnicday.ucdavis.edu/.

Designer Julia Koerner will speak at a free, online lecture at 4 p.m.

Thursday, April 22, titled “Models & Models.” Her recent collaborations include 3D-printed haute couture and the Academy Award-winning costumes for the film “Black Panther.”

Meanwhile, the noon concert series is presented online every Thursday through June at 12:05 p.m. Visit https://arts.ucdavis.edu/music for details.

Arnold Joseph Kemp is part of a Visiting Artist Lecture Series at 4:30 p.m. on April 22. Kemp will read some of his poetry, then discuss the relationship between language and the aesthetics presented in his paintings, photographs and sculpture.

———— David Hance of the Davis Chorale said the group will remain online until fall. He expects its first in-person performances to be for the holidays.

———— Alison Flory of YoloArts highlighted a couple of its exhibitions.

“ART. IN. ACTION,” featuring portraits of female African American heroes, is available in-person from 2:30 to 5 p.m. Thursdays at The Barn Gallery in The Gibson House, 512 Gibson Road in Woodland. It’s also online at https://yoloarts.org/ online-galleries/.

Through May 1, Gallery 625 features “Emerging + Artist = Show,” with nine regional emerging artists at various stages of their careers.

The gallery is at 625 Court St. in Woodland and is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The new Art & Ag program is up and running, where farmers open their land to local artists who want to capture landscape images. On April 22 and 24, the program visits Hungry Hollow Ranch in Capay, home of the Boundary Bend olive orchard. Visit https://yoloarts.org/ art-ag-project/ for details.

Amara

Pets of the week Special to The Enterprise Lots of animals are waiting for “forever homes” at the Yolo County Animal Shelter, 2640 E. Gibson Road in Woodland.

Among is them is Amara (A187008), a goofy 6-monthold seal-point Siamese. She’s a lovely girl with a little bit of sass. Amara is confident and isn’t afraid to tell you what she wants or when she wants it. Amara loves attention head-scratches.

Also hoping for a good home is Kim (A18677) a 1-year-old female husky who is easy to walk, a cuddle bug and playful. Kim is smart and enjoys training.

For information on adopting, contact adopt ycas@gmail. com.

All shelter animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped and spayed or neutered.

The shelter is closed to the public for non-emergencies but the staff is available to assist at 530-668-5287 during new temporary hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Mondays to Fridays and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays.

Florida vs. California virus response

Let voters decide on wealth tax

W

BY JEFF FREITAS Special to CalMatters

H

ousing affordability, racial inequity, getting California back on track after the COVID-19 pandemic — these are California voters’ priorities, according to the most recent poll from the respected and nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California.

Yet a crucial opportunity to act on — or even to debate — these priorities will pass by if the California Tax on Extreme Wealth (ACA 8 and Assembly Bill 310) doesn’t get a hearing in the Assembly Committee on Revenue and Taxation.

A tax on extreme wealth is a priority because California’s long-neglected needs have extreme consequences for hardworking families, vulnerable children and California’s future. Latino and Black workers — disproportionately represented in frontline, low-wage work during the pandemic — faced extreme risks on the job and lost their lives in heart-wrenching numbers.

California families and children still face extreme financial insecurity — one in seven adults went hungry in the last week; a temporary reprieve on rent during the pandemic is a mounting debt that will have to be repaid, $3.6 billion by some estimates.

While working Californians saw their debts and worries mount, California billionaires saw their fortunes expand by more than $599 billion since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

After COVID-19 had such a devastatingly unequal effect on Californians, educators and classified professionals know we have to build back better. That’s why it makes sense to establish a tax on extreme wealth.

A tax of one penny per dollar on wealth over $50 million and 1.5 cents per dollar on wealth over $1 billion would enable California to tackle the biggest challenges in our state and emerge healthier, more equitable and put our children in a far stronger position to succeed.

here would you rather be during the still-ongoing coronavirus pandemic, which earlier saw Americans die by the thousands each day for many months? Florida or California?

If they could choose today, almost 4,000 now-deceased Floridians might pick California.

It’s true those folks would have had to pay state income tax had they lived in California, as opposed to Florida, which has no such levy.

But they’re no longer among the living, thanks to the virus or its consequences.

A comparison is very relevant today as Republican interests that funded and worked to qualify a vote on recalling California Gov. Gavin Newsom continually insist Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis should be a prime candidate for president if Donald Trump does not try for a second term in 2024.

They may not have looked at the latest contrasts between wide-open Florida and still somewhat closed California, set to reopen substantially more on June 15.

Numbers from the week between April 1 and April 8 can be instructive here. Florida, with about half California’s population, had 37,293 new COVID cases during that week to California’s 17,366. Its death rate also topped California’s, at 157 per 100,000 persons to 148 per

100,000. On one day during the following week, Florida recorded more than 6,400 new cases to California’s 1,200-plus. So who is managing the pandemic better, Newsom or DeSantis?

Meanwhile, if Newsom beats the recall and then is reelected next year, he will surely be touted as a prime prospect for the Democratic nomination the next time that slot opens up — perhaps in 2024 or 2028.

For both men, handling of the pandemic’s onslaught has become a prime issue determining their ultimate potential to lead the nation.

Newsom was the first governor to shut down his state, ordering a lockdown in midMarch 2020 soon copied in myriad other places. DeSantis never issued a full stayhome order. Similarly, while California has required masking to stem COVID almost from the start, Florida requirements have been spotty, the only actual masking orders issued by city and county officials in a few places.

To understand any

comparison, it’s important to note that California has almost twice as many people as Florida, 39.985 million compared with 21.48 million Floridians at last count.

California stood at about 59,500 COVID deaths in mid-April, while Florida had just above 34,000.

California has seen a somewhat lower percentage of its populace perish during the pandemic, especially lately.

In actual numbers, figuring for the states’ population differences, the figures amount to almost 4,000 more Florida deaths than would have occurred if that state performed just like California.

T

his was despite natural advantages Florida’s far more humid climate provides: Several studies suggest that aerosol droplets emitted when humans breath, talk or sing fall to the ground much faster in humid air than in a drier climate.

DeSantis celebrates that he kept schools open through the pandemic, while most were closed in California. But the 1.5 million more elderly persons here could have fared far worse had California stayed as open as Florida.

The question: Were the lives saved here by using Newsom’s tactics rather than those of DeSantis worth extra sacrifices by other age groups?

That’s essentially being debated right now in the

recall drive, where Newsom is roundly criticized for keeping businesses and schools shuttered longer than many found comfortable, even though teachers and school districts often have the last word on reopening.

The bottom line on all this is that both governors operated from basic instincts and principles: Newsom placed lives saved above all else while DeSantis wanted to save lives, too, but not if his state’s economy suffered beyond his supporters’ comfort level.

In both cases, the governors accomplished their goals. Newsom kept California in 29th position among the states when it came to death rates, even while its climate and senior populace could have pushed fatalities much higher without the strategies he employed.

DeSantis kept his state at 25th, fatalities never mounting to levels threatening to his political future.

Their contrasts in philosophy and the results will be remembered, especially if these two eventually oppose one another for the presidency.

N

ot only will this tax raise more than $22 billion a year, but according to the scientific studies on migration of very wealthy people, it would do so without causing the extremely wealthy to leave the state en masse.

Teaching in our classrooms and online, serving students school lunches and keeping them safe on school grounds, California’s educators and classified professionals see the cost of extreme inequality up close.

Kids who sleep in cars can’t come to school prepared to learn. Schools funded at 39th in the nation send even the youngest learners the message that they don’t deserve a world-class education. Students set their dreams lower when they know they can’t afford to go to college without breaking the family bank or taking on debt they can never repay.

The Assembly members on the Revenue and Taxation committee have a few weeks to schedule debate on a measure that would allow voters to decide to tax extreme wealth. Choosing not to do so will effectively block the bill and bind us to a prepandemic status quo of extreme inequality.

California now has 172 billionaires, up by 18 since the start of the pandemic, and their extreme wealth continues to pile up month after month. Now our elected leaders in Sacramento have a choice — sit by while the extremely wealthy continue to reap pandemic profits, or invest in hard-working Californians.

Will the state Legislature push forward in the aftermath of COVID-19 by asking for less than 2 cents from billionaires? Or will our state government do right by our families who continue to struggle as the extremely rich get richer? Let’s debate a wealth tax in the open, pass AB 310 and ACA 8, and let the voters decide what kind of California we can be.

Home alone on Easter I got my first dose of vaccine on the Wednesday before Easter. The next day, my husband George and I rebooked a trip to Japan because the trip to celebrate his 70th birthday last year was canceled.

On Easter morning, KUSC played “To the hands” on the radio. “This piece is about Jesus’s welcome gesture reaching out two hands — integration, liberation and comfort,” the announcer said. If we could all reach our hands out to people who are different from us, this world would be a better place.

I went to the Nugget supermarket later.

The store felt different as soon as I walked

in. Children made joyous noise with mothers. Happiness was in the air.

There was still some trace of the pandemic: there was only one pack of dental floss left on the shelf. Did people grow more teeth during the pandemic?

What a sharp contrast there was between that and when I stood dumbfounded in front of a closed Nugget last Easter. How could Nugget close on Easter? Nugget never closed on Easter. As we all have learned by now, many things that had never happened before happened last year.

This is not normal. This is a brave new world. We all spent a lot of time thinking hard about what is really important in our lives. As the San Francisco Chronicle film critic Mick LaSalle wrote, “We are toughened up, exuberant and ready to get at it.”

The pandemic has built up a powerful celebration that only happens after a long period of suffering. We all rise up from dead and are ready to taste the pleasures of life. I will never take anything for granted.

Just the simple act of walking into Café Bernardo for Saturday dinner would be like a meaningful and sacred pilgrimage.

I fought back tears driving home.

George was visiting my 91-year-old mother-in-law in Florida after one year and three months of separation. I was home alone on Easter. But my heart was with everyone in the world. May we all find salvation in this day of resurrection.

Big changes in bird populations Special to The Enterprise

Special to The Enterprise

H

ave you noticed that some of your favorite bird species, perhaps even some you might see in your backyard, seem to have vanished? Are you seeing birds that you’ve never seen before?

Some changes in what we might see happen over a short time period, like recently when the West Nile virus decimated bird populations such as the yellow-billed magpies. But there are other changes that happen slowly as human activity results in incremental change that can favor or disfavor a given bird species.

A recent Ph.D. thesis by Sarah McLean from UC Berkeley examined a century of changing birdlife in the Central Valley. The thesis used observations from 1912 to 1923 collected from 41 stations as a baseline list of the breeding birds of the region. One hundred years later, the author revisited the same stations at the same seasons and compared the two surveys in detail. Because nearly all of the wetlands and grasslands of the valley have given way to farms and cities, she expected to see large differences between the two bird lists.

And so it turned out.

Birds suited to humanassociated landscapes grew much more common, occupying many more of the survey sites. These “human adapters” include the Canada goose, great egret, redshouldered hawk, Anna’s

The lazuli bunting was a common breeding bird in the central valley 100 years ago, but that isn’t true today. hummingbird, mourning dove, cliff swallow, raven, crow, mockingbird, brownheaded cowbird and greattailed grackle, as well as the introduced ring-necked pheasant, wild turkey, collared dove, rock pigeon and starling. It may come as a surprise that these familiar Yolo County birds were scarce a century ago.

What was lost, however, was an astonishing number of birds, including species of the open country (American kestrel, burrowing owl, roadrunner, loggerhead shrike, western meadowlark), marshes (yellowthroat and yellowheaded blackbird), woodland (flicker, Lewis’s woodpecker, purple martin, blue-gray gnatcatcher, American goldfinch), and thickets (California thrasher, yellow-breasted chat, lazuli bunting).

YOLO AUDUBON It’s remarkable (and seldom recognized) that so many species were common or fairly common a century ago, but scarce or absent as breeders today.

The causes are varied.

Some probably lost nest sites to starlings. Habitat loss was hugely important, particularly for opencountry, thicket, and marsh birds. Compounding factors include nest parasitism by cowbirds and, perhaps less often, nest predation by jays.

The author believes that today’s bird diversity in the Central Valley is more than it might otherwise have been due to the presence of water features constructed by humans such as canals, ponds and reservoirs that substitute for wetlands,

and by the well-watered landscaping in cities and towns.

One important point to note is that the thesis focused on land birds because the survey method was good at detecting them. It omits shorebirds, divers and most waterfowl.

Theirs is a story for another day.

The Davis Flower Arrangers announces that member Yasmin Spiegel will present “The Delightful Challenge of Narrow Mouth Containers” at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 5, via Zoom. She knows that everyone has a beautiful vase with such a small opening that they wonder what to do with it. She will demonstrate five different options for creative ways to use small-mouth vases.

Spiegel comes to ikebana flower arranging from a background in theater, costume and set design, and the hobbies of stained glass and ceramics. She has always been fascinated by the way light is reflected and appears translucent when working with various materials.

Her flower name, “Kidou” — “Her own Special Way,” embodies her wide range of visual, tactile and artistic interests.

Spiegel began studying with sogetsu master Kika Shibata Sensei in 2003 and received her fourth teacher’s certificate in 2014. She is at home with both traditional sogetsu forms and also more modern sculptural arrangements. Pushing the envelope in the use of materials and composition is what draws her to sogetsu, as well as the quality of “stopping your mind” when an arrangement is particularly engaging.

She has been teaching sogetsu ikebana for

LET’S RECLAIM BIRTHDAYS.

We’re looking forward to celebrating our birthdays in-person with friends and extended family. We can start making plans soon, but for now, we need to keep taking precautions until enough people get the COVID-19 vaccine. The best way to protect yourself and others is to get vaccinated and keep following health guidelines, like wearing a mask, staying 6 feet apart from others, and getting tested weekly—even after being vaccinated.

COVID-19 TESTING IS AVAILABLE SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.

Wherefore art thou, Oscar?

An unusual movie season could produce unusual results

BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic

T

alk about challenging.

Between the yearlong closure of movie theaters, the concurrent explosion in streaming content — and the almost certain political influence of the Black Lives Matter and #MeToo movements — nothing seems certain this year.

Far too many of this year’s Academy Awards categories are a coin-toss between who/what should win, and will win.

Odds-makers are going crazy, and I can’t blame them.

Such uncertainty aside, many (most?) Academy members have long been receiving screeners for athome viewing, so I’m reasonably comfortable with the assumption that they’ve had the usual access to all nominees.

Their votes will be informed; whether choices are skewed — by outside details that have nothing to do with quality or talent — is another matter entirely.

Meanwhile, and before we get down to cases, some fun facts: ■ Disturbing sign of the future? Warner Bros. is the sole major film studio to place a Best Picture nominee (“Judas and the Black Messiah”). All the others came from Netflix (two) and Amazon, A24, Focus, Searchlight and Sony Classics (one each).

■ Emerald Fennell (“Promising Young Woman”) is the first woman to be nominated for her feature film directing debut.

■ Chadwick Boseman is the seventh actor to earn a posthumous nomination (following James Dean, Spencer Tracy, Peter Finch, Ralph Richardson, Massimo Troisi and Heath Ledger).

■ Viola Davis and Andra Day’s competition is the first time we’ve seen two Black actresses nominated in the Best Actress category since 1972 (Cicely Tyson in “Sounder,” and Diana Ross in “Lady Sings the Blues”).

■ Chloé Zhao (“Nomadland”) is the first woman to earn four Oscar nominations in the same year.

■ At 83, Anthony Hopkins is the oldest lead actor nominee of all time. (Richard Farnsworth previously held the record, at age 79, for 2000’s “The Straight Story.”)

■ Frances McDormand

(“Nomadland”) is the first woman to be nominated for acting and Best Picture in the same year, for the same film. She also joins Michael Caine, Katharine Hepburn, Paul Newman, Jack Nicholson, Laurence Olivier and Meryl Streep, in having nominations in five consecutive decades.

■ Glenn Close has become the fourth person — after Geraldine Page, Peter O’Toole and Al Pacino — to have received eight acting nominations without a win.

■ This is the first time two Pixar films — “Onward” and “Soul” — are competing for Best Animated Feature.

But enough stalling, I hear you cry; let’s get on with it. OK, fine: Let’s see how many right answers I can talk myself out of this time ...

COURTESY PHOTOS

Chloé Zhao, left, is nominated in four categories for “Nomadland”: Best Picture (as co-producer), Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing.

Visual Effects One of this year’s rare certainties. I’ve yet to meet anybody who understood the damn thing, but there’s no denying its spectacular effects work. Ergo, we’ll see Andrew Jackson, David Lee, Andrew Lockley and Scott Fisher take the stage, for “Tenet.”

One of the evening’s few guarantees is the Best Animated Feature Oscar, which will go to Pixar’s “Soul.”

Makeup and Hairstyling And here we go. Nothing, and I mean nothing, compares to the spectacular work done by Mark Coulier, Dalia Colli and Francesco Pegoretti, in “Pinocchio.”

But its release has been spotty, its availability obscure, and I fear that not enough voters will have seen it. Ergo, I’m expecting to congratulate Sergio Lopez-Rivera, Mia Neal and Jamika Wilson, for “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.”

Sound Category change! (First time since Best Animated Feature was added, back in 2002.)

What used to be two categories — Sound Mixing and Sound Editing — has been compressed into just one (a wise move, since both Oscars often went to the same film). This makes it much easier for a lay voter, although I’ve no doubt sound technicians are furious.

The Motion Picture Sound Editors’ annual Golden Reel Awards generally aren’t much help, since they divide the spoils

within additional subcategories. Their 68th annual ceremony, held April 16, recognized “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of the Fire Saga” (musical feature film), “The Trial of the Chicago 7” (feature film) and “Soul” (animated feature film).

Doesn’t matter. Nicolas Becker, Jaime Baksht, Michelle Couttolenc, Carlos Cortés and Phillip Bladh are a lock, for their ingenious work in “Sound of Metal.”

Production Design Peter Francis and Cathy Featherstone did something quite impressive in “The Father.” Because the story is told from the point of view of a man sliding into dementia, his surroundings — his home — constantly shift and change, essentially becoming an actual character, rather than “merely” a backdrop.

That said, “The Father” was ignored by the 25th annual Art Directors Guild Awards, presented April 10, which were divided

into three branches, for period, fantasy and contemporary; the winners were, respectively, “Mank,” “Tenet” and “Da 5 Bloods.”

“The Father” notwithstanding, this is a shouldwin: Donald Graham Burt and Jan Pascale, for “Mank.”

Costume Design The 23rd annual Costume Designers Guild Awards, presented on April 13, also are divided into the same three branches: period, fantasy and contemporary.

The winners were, respectively, “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” “Mulan” and “Promising Young Woman.”

That’s very bad news for Alexandra Byrne, who you’d think should be a shoo-in, for the sumptuous outfits into which the stars of “Emma” were poured.

I suspect sentiment will rule here. The momentum has been building for Ann Roth, 89 years young, for “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.”

of catchy pop appeal, it’s Many (most?) impossible not to love “Huzavik,” from “EuroviAcademy sion Song Contest: The members have Story of Fire Saga.”

The “coolness factor” long been may be an influence, because Leslie Odom Jr. receiving also nailed an acting nomscreeners for ination. So I’m going with and Sam Ashworth, at-home viewing, Odom for “Speak Now.” so I’m reasonably comfortable with Original Score Trent Reznor is nomithe assumption nated for two films here; will that work against that they’ve had him?

is a solid contender, for “Da 5 Bloods,” but I’m going with Reznor, Atticus Ross and Jon Batiste, for “Soul.”

UCD grad’s play streaming starting today Story is an adaptation of Shakespeare classic

Special to The Enterprise

Special to The Enterprise American River College Theatre will close its season with the premiere of an original adaptation of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” by playwright Terry Haley, a UC Davis alumnus.

Aptly titled “Midsummer v.20.20,” this streaming production places the beloved characters in the middle of COVID, where quarantines keep friends and lovers apart, and Zoom, Instagram, Facetime and TikTok are the main methods of connection.

Enter the merry hacker, Puck himself, whose chief goal is to eavesdrop on as many interactions as possible!

“Our goal with this production has been to get away from the idea of pretending that these characters are all together,” said director Tracy Martin Shearer.

“The playwright spent countless hours researching the myriad ways people have tried to stay connected during the pandemic — from social media platforms to the many online meeting apps like Webex, Discord, and, yes, Zoom.

Haley’s modernized, hilarious characters live in that world, and we get the fun of seeing everything they do through Puck’s ability to hack his way into anything!”

DMTC will host trivia-night fundraiser

“The playwright spent countless hours researching the myriad ways people have tried to stay connected during the pandemic. ... Haley’s modernized, hilarious characters live in that world.”

Tracy Martin Shearer Midsummer v.20.20” director In addition to all this, the show has the added element of being a musical, despite the fact that the show was put together entirely online. Musical director Susan Hamre transposed, transcribed and taught the pieces, then sound designer Kirt Shearer captured and mixed the work of dozens of actors and musicians to make it all work.

The audiences who have always loved Shakespeare’s

“Midsummer” will find the same groups of characters populating this production.

In this show, however, the “nobles” are software company elites, the “fairies” are fabulous social media influencers, and the scenestealing ‘”mechanicals” are dedicated Walmart employees as well as amateur actors.

After earning a master’s degree in fine arts from UC Davis, playwright Haley went on to become

a television writer for about 12 years, scripting several shows for Nickelodeon as well as for “Married With Children.”

The cast includes local actors Brianne Hidden, Demjuan Julian and Corey Winfield, as well as Los Angeles actress Liesel Hanson — all performing alongside a talented group of student actors who have served as cinematographers, editors and set dressers in addition to performing.

“One of the advantages of online productions like this is that the actors can live nearly anywhere and still be a part of the show,” Shearer said. “Alum Jazz Sunpanich, who plays Mia, is an actress in New York.

Liesel, who plays Flute, had to take one day off to film a Superbowl ad — but then she was right back at rehearsal.”

Shearer also noted how

wonderful it has been to work with actors from other colleges, including Kaitlin Richards, a recent Kennedy Center ACTF finalist who attends Sacramento State, and Christine Nicholson who teaches for both Sacramento City College and Sac State.

The show begins streaming today — Shakespeare’s birthday and also his day of death — and continues Saturday, April 24, Sunday, April 25, Thursday, April 29, Friday, April 30, Saturday, May 1, and Sunday, May 2.

To view the show, go to ARCTheatre.org in advance to secure a digital ticket. The cost of each ticket is “pay-what-youcan,” which will help defray the many expenses involved in the production. Digital ticketing begins Thursday, April 22. For additional questions, email SheareT@ arc.losrios.edu.

Davis Musical Theatre Company is hosting a Zoom/Kahoots trivianight fundraiser at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 24.

The evening will start with getting all of the participants online and then there will be a practice run with DMTC trivia.

The primary participants for that will be the board of directors and committee members.

(They won’t be permitted in the competitive game.)

The competitive game will use the Kahoots app, which means participants will watch the questions and the choice of answers on one media then answer on another (like playing Jack Box with friends and seeing the questions on a computer but answering on a smartphone).

The platform can handle up to 50 players simultaneously.

The cost is $10 per person to play, but paying customers must be 18 or older. Children can participate with someone over 18.

The top contestants will receive prizes, such as a Rodgers and Hammerstein complete musical collection, DMTC perks and See’s candy.

ing its multiple time streams.

“The Father” also benefitted from its twisty, disorienting editing, but the tea leaves suggest a bloody battle between “The Trial of the Chicago 7” and “Sound of Metal.”

Sigh. I’m going with Alan Baumgarten, for “The Trial of the Chicago 7.”

Cinematography I fear this one may be included in a “Nomadland” sweep, and — while not wanting to diminish Joshua James Richards’ excellent work — that would be unfortunate.

Because there’s a far, far better choice.

Ergo, this is another should-win. The 35th annual American Society of Cinematographers Awards banquet, which took place on April 18, deservedly gave their award to “Mank,” and I can’t argue: Erik Messerschmidt, for his luxuriously gorgeous monochromatic work, in “Mank.”

NETFLIX PHOTO

“Mank” won’t take any of the major awards, but Erik Messerschmidt certainly deserves to win for his incandescent black-and-white cinematography.

Adapted Screenplay The 73rd annual Writers Guild Award winner in this category, which was presented on March 21, is utterly insane “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.” What the heck were they smoking?

Rationality suggests that this is a dust-up between “One Night in Miami” and “Nomadland.” Given what’s likely to happen in the upper categories, I’m going with Chloé Zhao, for “Nomadland.”

Original Screenplay The Writers Guild gave this one to Emerald Fennell, for her sizzling, subversively snarky script for “Promising Young Woman.” That’s a shrewd choice; it’s also politically freighted.

That said, one never should ignore Aaron Sorkin (“The Trial of the

Argh.

Emerald Fennell, for “Promising Young Woman.”

Supporting Actor Easy: Daniel Kaluuya, in “Judas and the Black Messiah.”

Supporting actress Also easy: Yuh-Jung Youn, in “Minari.”

Actor Easy yet again: Chadwick Boseman, in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.”

Actress This is where it stops being easy.

Andra Day (“The United States vs. Billie Holiday”) won the Golden Globe; Viola Davis (“Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”) walked home with the Screen Actors Guild Award; and Carey Mulligan (“Promising Young Woman”) took the Critics Choice Award.

That’s … quite a split. And we also can’t discount Frances McDormand (“Nomadland”).

Sigh.

Nobody liked “Billie Holiday,” aside from Day’s performance.

McDormand and Davis already have multiple Oscars on their mantels.

I’ve admired Carey Mulligan since her Oscarnominated breakout role in 2009’s “An Education.”

This is her second nomination, and — dammit — she deserves to win. So: Carey Mulligan, for “Promising Young Woman.”

Director We’re back to easy: Chloé Zhao, for “Nomadland.”

Picture Should be obvious by now: “Nomadland.”

from May 1 to 31 at Logos Books, 513 Second St. in Davis. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays and, starting April 27, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays.

TANA is a collaborative partnership between the Chicana/o studies program at UC Davis and the greater Woodland community that offers a fully functioning silkscreen studio, Chicana/o

Latino arts exhibition space, and a teaching center for the arts.

The prints express a diverse range of perspectives from TANA artists committed to equity and social justice. This selection of prints reflects on the exhibition theme — “Primavera” — or “spring,” which represents renewal and a sense of hope as

pandemic conditions slowly begin to improve.

Many of the featured works were created under pandemic conditions, where artists produced designs at home and TANA staff facilitated the creative printmaking process in the shop remotely with the artists.

Reading of ‘As You Are’ is this Saturday Reopening Enterprise staff Acme Theatre Company’s Zoom reading of “As You Are,” a play by Rachel Lynett, runs at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 24.

This loose adaptation of Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” explores an apartment community stuck inside trying to find joy in the darkest of situations.

Orlando, a recovering addict, struggles to pay rent and “earn” his stay while also trying to woo the artist Ros, who’s looking for the perfect moment to catch with her camera.

Silvius, a high school teacher, tries his chances with exhausted nurse Phoebe.

And Audrey, a classically trained

musician, tries to come to terms with being good but not great.

Throughout the play, each character attempts to adjust to a new normal and what it means to find joy in the midst of great loss.

The community is invited to go out and view two pavement paintings in downtown Davis honoring Earth Day. Focusing on food and water, the art pieces invite viewers to take action to protect the planet. Last weekend, Anya McCann painted “Eat A Rainbow,” a celebration of plant-based foods, at E Street Plaza. A few blocks away, on April 19, Alyx Land and Lupita Torres created “Water Is Life,” a painted river flowing through the cracks in the pavement on G Street, between Second and Third streets. Artists assisting with the project included Candice Foster, Danielle Fodor, Drucella Miranda, Jen Nachmanoff and Judy Catambay. This project, part of the Community ArtShare for the Earth (and All Her Creatures) is supported, in part, by a grant from the city of Davis Arts and Cultural Affairs program. Helping hands were provided by the Davis Food Co-Op, the Sierra Club, Cool Cuisine, Cool Davis, the Davis Arts Center, Mothers Out Front, Climate Strike Davis, the DSIS Eco Club, the Sunrise Movement and the Da Vinci High School Environmental Club.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

sports THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE — FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 2021

None of this remotely resembles normal L ast Sunday, the NCAA announced the field and pairings for its once-in-alifetime Football Championship Subdivision “Spring Football” playoff, with the only certainty being that whichever team emerges as national champion will have at least a half-dozen asterisks (******) after its name in the record books.

The really odd thing here about calling anyone a national champion when this debacle is over is that nearly a quarter of the FCS schools elected not to participate at all in spring competition and several more quit halfway through.

The Big Sky Conference, of which UC Davis is a member, is known as one of the nation’s strongest FCS leagues, but five of its 13 members decided to sit this season out, and a sixth, Cal Poly, threw in the towel after giving up 135 points in two losses that threatened to break scoreboards all over the west.

Montana played two

“no-count” games in Missoula and Portland State played simply one “no-count” contest.

UC Davis played just five games compared to the usual 11 and sometimes 12 in a fall season, finishing 3-2 and electing to call it a season despite finishing No. 13 in two national polls and perhaps having an outside shot at one of the 16 playoff slots.

In short, none of this even remotely resembled a “normal” season, but then again, nothing has seemed normal over the last 15 months or so.

The disparity in the on-field performances of the 16 playoff participants is glaring.

Jacksonville State earned a spot with its 9-2 record, while Holy Cross, Anthony Fauci’s alma mater, slipped in with 3-0 mark.

Three wins earns you a shot at the national championship? Talk about not-normal.

Monmouth also gained entry with a 3-0 record, while Sacred Heart is playoff-bound after a

3-1 effort.

Then again, if you turn down Holy Cross and Sacred Heart, you’re messing with Jesus, which is never a wise thing to do.

Despite many media outlets reporting all season long that there would be 11 automatic qualifiers (conference champions), there were actually only 10, plus six at-large selections.

UC Davis could certainly have made the case for an at-large bid, based as much on its two losses as its three wins.

The Aggies, you see, took Big Sky champion Weber State down to the wire before dropping an 18-13 decision in Ogden.

Weber finished 5-0 and earned

the Big Sky’s automatic bid.

UCD was also close in a season-ending 32-22 loss to Eastern Washington, which finished 5-1 and picked up the Big Sky’s lone at-large berth.

Now here’s the rub: While the Big Sky has only Weber State and EWU in the playoff, the Missouri Valley Conference has five teams, including four of the six at-large spots.

S

ome folks are screaming “foul,” but if you look at that conference’s track record, a strong argument can be made that the selection committee got it right.

MVFC member North Dakota State has won eight of the last nine national titles, which is no easy feat given that you have to be perfect in four straight playoff games to claim a national championship.

Despite those eight titles and a 36-2 mark in 10 playoff appearances, the Mighty Bison are mighty no more.

After a 27-17 loss to MVFC

champion South Dakota State to end the regular season, NDSU finished 6-2, but still received and deserved an at-large bid given that Holy Cross, Sacred Heart and Monmouth are in the field as well.

In addition to North Dakota State and South Dakota State (5-1), the Missouri Valley will be represented by North Dakota (4-1), Southern Illinois (5-3) and Missouri State (5-4).

If the Big Sky feels slighted, it’s up to Eastern Washington to set the record straight Saturday when the Eagles and talented quarterback Eric Barriere travel to NDSU to take on the Bison in the notoriously raucous Fargodome.

Weber State will stay home to host Southern Illinois in another Big Sky-Missouri Valley matchup.

Meanwhile, UC Davis is already laying plans for a playoff run this fall, presumably when things get back to “normal.”

Blue Devil boys keep win streak alive Enterprise staff Kicking a shorthanded Sheldon team to the curb, 9-0, the Davis High boys tennis team kept its unbeaten streak alive Thursday.

Joshua Xu cruised at No. 1 singles, 6-0, 6-0 as did Adam Wu at No. 3. Other wins came via: Nikhil Chandler (6-1, 6-1), Julian Dunn (6-0, 6-1), Nico Perez (6-1, 6-3) and Elias Troy (6-1, 6-0). The Huskies forfeited their three doubles pairings.

Undefeated Cosumnes Oaks visits the Davis High tennis courts next Tuesday for a 2:30 p.m. match.

Badminton Downing Will C. Wood, 6-2, in its season finale, the Blue Devil badminton team won at single spots No. 1 through 6 at the DHS North Gym Thursday afternoon.

Melissa Lee won at the top of the ladder (21-7, 21-6), while Lisa Wang earned a win at No. 2 (215, 21-2). Other winners included: Chiara Wu (21-5, 21-6); Helena Wei (21-7, 21-4) and Olivia McCutcheon (21-1, 21-2).

The Senior Day match served as final competition for four Devils: Samantha Morante, Evelyn Urincho, McCutcheon and Wang.

Baseball Davis High baseball picked up its third straight win on the road Thursday, 9-5, over Pioneer.

Mike Finerty collected four hits, including two doubles, to lead the Devil bats. Leadoff hitter Griffin Shorts had three hits, Brian Chin doubled and drove in three runs, and Gazaw Baker had two base knocks and an RBI. It was a bullpen game for Davis, who received two innings apiece from Zach Altorfer, Saul Israel, and Jack Wright and one inning from Chin. Altorfer struck out the side in both of his innings and Chin struck out two in his outing.

The Devils (8-3 overall, 0-3 league) host Christian Brothers (2-3) on Friday at 4 p.m.

DHS ROUNDUP

Lily Gieschen, who flew 34-05.5 in the girls triple jump; Tai Hackett, who won the boys triple jump (38-05.5); and Tyler Venner, whose 40-09.5 shot put beat Jesuit’s Michal Palchak by just over a foot.

The Devils also won a the boys 4x400 relay, with Ballard, Sean Layman, Ben Norton and Jacob Schaal crossing first (3:32.11).

Delta League member Sheldon comes to town for another conference competition next Wednesday.

Softball Roasting Woodland on Wednesday, the Lady Devils cranked out a 10-run win, beating the Wolves 18-8, thanks to a fourth-inning scoring surge.

Senior Madison Rutherford had a three hit day, while Olivia Waldren chalked up 4 RBI and Devil pitcher Ella Shorts tallied a pair of strikeouts. DHS scored two-ormore runs in all six frames of the mercy-rule decision.

The Blue Devils lost a backand-forth nailbiter to River City High, 8-7, on the road Thursday.

Zoe West pitched all six innings for Davis High (4-9 overall, 0-5 league) and struck out two.

Stevie Spencer led the offensive charge for DHS with two doubles and three RBI. Halle Gabriel also doubled, singled, and drove in one, and Isabella Lester and Jordan Zuniga each collected two base knocks.

The Lady Devils host Franklin next Tuesday afternoon. First pitch is set for 4 p.m.

Girls basketball Clutch buckets in the closing seconds from Bella Oliva and Tessa Schouten nearly helped the Lady Devils overcome a doubledigit deficit. But the Del Oro Golden Eagles held on Wednesday night to beat the Davis High girls hoops squad, 54-53, at the DHS North Gymnasium.

After a stellar night in the paint, Mara Bledsoe led the locals with 12 points. Schouten finished with 11 and her sister, Skylar, netted 10, while Maddie Buzbee scored 9 on a double-duty afternoon that saw her also compete in the Devils’ track-and-field meet against St. Francis. Buzbee pole vaulted 8 feet and placed third in both the 100(18.21) and 300-meter (52.24) hurdles.

The Lady Devils (0-3) hit the road Friday for a 6 p.m. game against Christian Brothers in Sacramento.

Swimming and diving ELK GROVE — Washing away the host Eagles, the DHS swim squads topped Pleasant Grove, 104-66, in girls action and 116-38 on the boys end Wednesday.

Charlotte Rosendale won the ladies 200 free (2:01.41) and 100 fly (1:03.41), while Elizabeth Bond touched first in the 100 breast (1:22.95) and 200 Individual Medley (2:33.60). Isabella Johnson won the 500 free (5:31.75) and Julia Miles’ 24.59 sprint in the 50 free topped the swim board. Boys winners included: Ryan Pfeifer in the 200 free (1:52.19), Brennan Fuschslin’s 200 I.M. (2:06.91) and 100 back (58.97), Lucas Cardenas in the 50 free (24.28), Evan Rieger’s 100 fly (55.25), Kevin Sarti’s 100 free (52.19), J.T.

DHS returns to the pool Friday when the Devils host Cosumnes Oaks for their final swim meet of the spring.

Track and field Hosting Jesuit and St. Francis at Brown Stadium on Tuesday, the Blue Devils won seven boys events and five girls in what will likely be their stiffest competition this spring.

Shay Hawkes topped the podium in the girls 300-meter hurdles (51.63) and the high jump (5-01), while Nika Edson was a double-winner, claiming the top spot at shot put (30-06) and discus (105-09) — her later toss more than 34 feet farther than St. Francis’ top thrower.

Clay Ballard and Ray Oldham were also double-winners. Ballard’s 50.38 run in the 400 meters and his long jump of 19-03.5 were tops, while Oldham won the 200 meters (23.59), edging Jesuit’s Nathan Lewis by .02 ticks. Oldham was also first in the high jump at 6 feet.

Single event winners included

FAIR OAKS — Colette Quaas put on a show Wednesday night, scoring five goals and collecting a team-high seven ground balls as the DHS girls laxers thrashed Bella Vista, 19-1.

The win bumped the Lady Devils to 2-0 heading into Friday’s 4 p.m. road match at Rio Americano.

Devon Morris, Tory Agnew and Gracie Hartsough netted two goals each, while Ella Heringer snagged six ground balls and tied Quaas with a team-high three takeaways. Jessie Finkelor, Grace Scheuring, Gabby Laguero, Meilla Blissett, Amara Higgins and Lauren Lee added single scoring strikes. Morris added three assists and won six Devil draws.

Boys golf SACRAMENTO — In their best nine-hole outing this spring, the Blue Devils clubbed their way to a 78-stroke shellacking of Cosumnes Oaks at Bartley Cavanaugh Golf Club, 185-263, Wednesday afternoon.

Topping the leaderboard, Ryan Firpo was sizzling, carding a season-low round of 33. Logan Green followed him with a 36, while Andre Zhang finished at 37 and Josh Galindo at 38. Ishan Malik’s round of 41 and Rowan Shankarrapa’s 43 rounded off the DHS effort.

Next Monday, the Devils head back to Bartley Cavanaugh for an afternoon dual competition vs Franklin.

Aggies wrangle Bears Enterprise staff Aggie attacker Sorana Larson notched five goals in the first half to pace the UC Davis lacrosse team past visiting Cal, 14-4, in front of 537 fans at UC Davis Health Stadium on Thursday.

The Aggies (10-4 overall) netted eight goals in the first half and cruised to a nonconference victory behind goals from Larson, Davis High graduate Alex Agnew (three), Maddie Myers (two), Anna Hofgard, Anna Belenis, Kendall Seifert and Brooke Long.

The majority of goals were unassisted but Larson and Ally Deremer collected one dime each.

It was the final home game for UCD seniors Taylor Mathieson, Myers, Belenis, Ally Deremer, Larson, Kate Graham, Kaley Stunz, Hofgard, Mar Alvear and Jacqueline Templeman.

Goalkeepers Mathieson and Ashley Laing both collected four saves and allowed two goals.

UCD takes its three-game winning streak on the road as the Aggies travel to Fresno State for a Mountain Pacific Sports Federation contest on Saturday at 2 p.m.

Fresno State’s attendance policy allows for 20-percent capacity. The contest will be streamed on the Mountain West Network.
