Vaccine program expanding

Trustees talk return to school

Line ’em up

BY EDWARD BOOTH

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY

Enterprise staff writer

Enterprise staff writer In the year-long battle against COVID-19, few individuals or institutions in Yolo County have had quite the impact of Healthy Davis Together.

From the free and easy COVID-19 testing offered to everyone who lives or works in Davis, to the environmental monitoring, to the hundreds of thousands of dollars in stimulus funds flowing to Davis businesses through a gift-card program, the extraordinary contributions of this towngown partnership have been felt deeply in Davis.

But increasingly, Healthy Davis Together is also taking its resources, staff and expertise deep into some of the most impacted areas of the county, offering free testing to every school district countywide; providing testing and vaccines to migrant farmworkers and the unsheltered; and partnering with CommuniCare Health Centers to vaccinate its patients, most of whom are low-income and many of whom are non-English speakers, often undocumented and without health insurance.

The Davis school board met Thursday and heard presentations about the district’s April 12 return to five-day, in-person schooling, local COVID-19 conditions, a new dashboard that shows current cases found at district schools and health measures the district has taken to help prevent the spread of the virus during the remaining weeks of the school year.

The board also unanimously approved the district’s plans for a virtual academy, a pure distance learning option that the district is looking to run through the Davis School for Independent Study starting in the 2021-22 school year. And the board approved principal and vice principal positions for the school.

Additionally, the Davis Teachers Association shared messages from teachers about how difficult teaching this year has been — how they’ve had to continuously work extra hours and develop classes around two new learning models. Many individual teachers asked in public comments for the district

Several hundred Davisites joined the parade line Saturday morning to celebrate longtime Enterprise writer Bob Dunning’s half-century with the newspaper. City public relations manager Bob Bowen was master of ceremonies as former City Council members, teachers, university officials and a bevy of Enterprise readers passed Dunning at the corner of 14th Street and Oak Avenue, some pelting The Wary I columnist with water balloons.

UC, CSU to require shots for fall Crime victims honored at ceremony

BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer The University of California and California State University systems announced Thursday that they intend to require all students, faculty and staff who plan to be on campus this fall to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

“Receiving a vaccine for the virus that causes COVID-19 is a key step people can take to protect themselves, their friends and family, and our campus communities while helping bring the pandemic to an end,” said UC President Michael V. Drake, M.D. The announcement by two of the country’s largest public university systems

VOL. 124, NO. 50

represents one of the United States’ largest-scale COVID-19 vaccine directives to date. Both university systems plan to resume mostly in-person instruction this fall.

“Together, the CSU and UC enroll and employ more than one million students and employees across 33 major university campuses, so this is the most comprehensive and consequential university plan for COVID-19 vaccines in the country,” said CSU Chancellor Joseph I. Castro. “Consistent with previous CSU announcements related to the university’s response to the pandemic, we are sharing this

Briefly Grass fire burns near 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.

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.

Those ten-thousandths really add up ...

I

suppose because I live on the Eastside and complain a lot, I received a personal letter from the director of the city of Davis’ Public Works Utilities and Operations Department, better known as the PWUOD (Puh-wowd).

Seems the city is planning some sort of draconian rate increase for one of its many services, in this case nearly doubling the cost to the average hardworking Davisite.

“Dear Property Owner,” the letter begins presumptively, even though I sign all my checks to the city as “Mr. Wonderful.”

“I’m reaching out to you to let you know of an upcoming public process related to the City’s proposed new Stormwater fee.”

Stormwater? I don’t know if anyone’s noticed, but we don’t have storms in Davis anymore. As a result, I presume we don’t have stormwater anymore either, but you should know I do not have a Ph.D. in meteorology, hydrology or city finance.

“As a property owner in Davis, you are currently paying a Storm Sewer Fee and a Drainage Fee as part of your annual property tax bill.”

I hate to admit it, but I have

me my migraine medicine?

Fortunately, the city did the math before I even asked.

“This comes out to about $6 per month or $72 per year for the average single-family home in Davis.”

honestly never noticed.

“The current charge for a single family is $0.000232 per month per square foot of parcel size for the Storm Sewer Fee and $0.000560 per square foot for the drainage fee.”

Postage and handling not included.

Presuming that pesky decimal point is in the right spot, that figure is nowhere near as frightening as, say, $232,000 per month per square foot.

I honestly don’t know if that’s 232 thousandths of a dollar or 232 ten-thousandths or maybe even 232 trillionths. And given that it’s monthly, I’m not sure I could accurately multiply any of those figures by 12 without screwing up the decimal point.

Honey, would you please grab

N

ice to know the Public Works director is also a math wiz. If he’d just said $6 a month in the first place, my head wouldn’t be spinning trying to figure out the number of square-feet in my East Davis estate times $0.000232. I was beginning to think I’d have to take out a second mortgage to deal with this shock to the system.

“Since the program’s inception in the 1990s, these fees have partially funded the maintenance and operations in the city’s storm sewer and storm drainage programs. These programs have been essential in protecting our community’s stormwater infrastructure, local creeks and regional wetlands.”

Creeks, as in plural? You mean there are other moving bodies of water in town in addition to the Mighty Putah? (Pronounced pewtuh, not poo-tuh, and does not rhyme with Utah.)

“The city is operating a pump station that is almost 100 years old.”

I know. I was there for the dedication.

This system “was designed at a time when the needs of the city were much smaller than they are today.”

Plus, they still had storms back then.

“The proposed new fee amount varies depending on what type of property you own. Most singlefamily residential parcels will be asked to pay $13.10.”

I can see the bold-face headline now: “THEY’RE DOUBLING OUR RATES.” They used to justify rate increases by saying it’s “less than a cup of coffee a day,” but in this case we’re talking about a cup of coffee a month if you toss in a chocolate croissant for dipping.

I think even the folks on my side of the tracks will be able to handle this increase and still be able to afford sandals for the summer.

If it comes to a vote, put me in the “Yes” category.

Woodland police arrest suspects in teen’s 2019 killing

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Woodland police announced Friday the arrests of two suspects earlier this month — including a man previously arrested in the case — in connection with the 2019 homicide of a 16-year-old Esparto boy.

Alvaro “Vago” Gamera suffered fatal gunshot wounds on the night of Oct. 21, 2019, in the area of North and East streets, one of three victims who lost their lives in a rash of gangrelated violence around that time.

Two others were injured in the shooting. Later that month, police arrested Francisco Geovanni Ponce as a suspect, but the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office declined to charge him pending further investigation.

Nearly a year-and-a-half later, police rearrested Ponce, 22, on a warrant charging him with murder, weapon violations and criminal street-gang charges during an April 6 traffic stop. Earlier this week, gang detectives traveled to a Central California prison to arrest a second suspect, 26-year-old Joseph Gonzalez II, according to a Woodland Police Department social media post.

Both men have since been arraigned in Yolo Superior Court.

Woodland police Sgt. Dallas Hyde said it’s hoped the arrests “send a very

clear message” that the city’s gang crimes, while difficult to solve, will be rigorously investigated.

“Gang-related crimes, including homicides, are some of the hardest crimes for law enforcement to investigate. Many times, it is very hard to find cooperative witnesses, and surviving victims are unwilling to

give details related to these crimes,” Hyde said.

“We are fortunate to have a team of gang investigators and detectives who diligently and continuously investigate these crimes in an attempt to bring these criminal street gang members to justice,” he added.

The gang-crime spree led to the creation of a

Woodland police task force and reward fund that seeks to curb gang crimes and identify suspects in unsolved homicides.

The unit continues to investigate the killings of Raymond Ortiz, 44, on Nov. 17, 2019; and Isaac Carlos Morales, 20, on Jan. 9, 2020.

Anyone with information

about these crimes is urged to contact Woodland police detectives at 530-6662411, or call the department’s 24-hour crime tip line at 530-661-7851. Callers may remain anonymous.

Climate speakers series ends with a vision of change, hope Special to The Enterprise As the pandemic winds down, Davis Friends Meeting and Cool Davis are providing the community with the last two of six talks on the science of climate change and the solutions. Although the pandemic will be over soon, the potentially catastrophic effects of climate change will be with us for many years to come.

Hugh Safford will talk on “Fire Trends in California” at 7 p.m.

Thursday, April 29. Last year, thousands of wildfires burned millions of acres of land in the United States. California, Washington and Oregon experienced multiple large fires burning throughout summer and fall.

The August Fire Complex, which was started by a lightning strike in the Mendocino National Forest, was the largest wildfire in CaliforSAFFORD nia history and Will speak burned for on fire trends months. Safford, a fire ecologist with the U.S. Forest Service, will discuss the role that human influence — including climate change — may have on future wildfire seasons, and how this will affect the ecosystems and management of wildfires.

Safford is regional ecologist for

the USDA Forest Service’s Pacific Southwest Region (California, Hawaii and Pacific territories), and a member of the research faculty in the department of environmental science and policy at UC Davis. Safford manages a Forest Service division that addresses fire, restoration ecology, climate change and monitoring in the 18 National Forests in the Pacific Southwest Region.

UCD Professor Ermias Kebreab will talk on the “Green Moo Deal” at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 13. Kebreab’s research on seaweed in cattle feed has proven that seaweed is the superfood dairy cattle need to reduce the amount of methane they burp

KEBREAB Will speak on seaweed in cattle feed

into the atmosphere.

Early results from Kebreab’s research, indicate that just a touch of the ocean algae in cattle feed could dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions from California’s 1.8 million dairy

cows.

In the past year, there has been even better news. Kebreab has found that seaweed reduces methane emissions from beef cattle as well as dairy cows. The reduction in methane emissions is up to 80 percent.

This summer the Straus Family Dairy will start testing the seaweed mix in its cattle feed.

Kebreab is associate dean for global engagement in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, as well as director of the World Food Center at UCD. Kebreab conducts research on reducing the impact of animal agriculture on the environment, particularly greenhouse gas emissions globally. Kebreab’s research has been recognized by scientific publications and news media worldwide.

Fly Fishers to learn about trout challenge Special to The Enterprise

COURTESY PHOTOS

Ken Davis, above, is seen fishing in Washington. Laurie Banks, at right, shows off a coastal cutthroat trout during the Western Native Trout Challenge. The couple will speak to the Fly Fishers of Davis about the trout challenge at the group’s next meeting, set for Tuesday, April 27.

The Fly Fishers of Davis will hear from Laurie Banks and Ken W. Davis, who will be presenting on the Western Native Trout Challenge via Zoom Webinar at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 27.

This presentation is designed to get people excited about pursuing this challenge and introduce fly fishers to this program. Participants will learn about the challenge, tips to complete all levels, locating and identifying fish, planning trips, and equipment and flies.

Banks and Davis have been together for 23 years and a fishing team for the last 15. They spend their summer vacations fishing and visiting family in Nevada, Idaho and Montana. Upon learning about the Western Native Trout Challenge, they decided to give it a try. Thinking it would take years to complete, they were surprised they completed the challenge in only 15 months.

Banks is a retired continuation high school teacher and was president of California Fly Fishers Unlimited in 2014 and 2015. She is a member of their board of directors and co-teaches their 101 class for beginning fly fishers.

Davis is an aquatic biologist who is working on several projects in Lake Berryessa and Putah Creek for Solano County. As a wildlife photojournalist, his images have been published in more than 5,000 periodicals. He has been fly fishing for more than 30 years. He especially enjoys fly fishing pursuits with Banks as they approach it as a team effort.

Although 75 fishers have completed the first level, the pair are two of the five to complete the third and final level and the first couple to do so.

SCHOOL: COVID measures a big part of board’s agenda From Page A1 to provide some compensation for their extra work.

Maintaining safety Yolo County health officer Aimee Sisson and Sheri Belafsky, medical director for Healthy Davis Together, gave presentations to the board about COVID19 conditions in the county and the health procedures being carried out by HDT within district schools.

Sisson said total COVID-19 cases have remained flat through April, but the proportion of cases caused by the more infectious and deadly B.1.1.7 variant is growing, rising from 4% of positive cases in late February to over half of cases in early April. As time goes on, Sisson said, the number of cases caused by the variant has the potential to rise very quickly, and what happens next is largely determined by people’s behavior.

Sisson recommended that people get vaccinated as soon as they can, partially because B.1.1.7 is very sensitive to currently available vaccines, unlike other variants that have emerged in small numbers in the county.

Sisson also said in-person instruction can safely continue as long as safety measures are followed, such as masking, screening for symptoms, regular testing and vaccinating those who are eligible. Though positive cases have been detected in Davis and county schools, she said, that’s not surprising because students and staff reflect the greater community. But the county is on the lookout for school-based outbreaks, which have not happened so far in county schools.

“We need to proceed with caution, doubling down on protective measures, including in schools,” Sisson said. “If we continue to follow comprehensive, multi-layered protective measures, in-person instruction can safely continue in this era of variants.”

Belafsky talked about the district’s health process and the HDT air filter monitoring pilot program, which has found one positive result in each of the two campuses that are currently being monitored, Korematsu Elementary and North Davis Elementary.

She said the goal of the pilot program is to passively monitor classrooms for COVID-19, as daily testing isn’t practical or feasible.

“A positive air filter tells us that someone who entered the classroom within the past seven days because this is being done weekly was shedding virus,” Belafsky said. “It doesn’t tell us who that individual was or if that individual is currently shedding an infectious amount of virus.”

In response to positive air filter tests, she said, HDT strongly encourages individuals who were in that classroom to get tested.

The response at North Davis on Thursday involved testing all students in the classroom with a rapid onsite test, and HDT helped parents fill out consent forms if they hadn’t already, according to Belafsky. The rapid test returns results in roughly 15 minutes, she said.

Belafsky said HDT is stopping short of requiring students to test if there’s a positive air filter case, but they highly encourage it. Sisson said the reason to not mandate is because the science of the air filter tests is still emerging and she’s not comfortable requiring quarantine until it’s better understood how a positive filter result correlates with an infectious person.

“A positive filter is a warning that there could be someone infectious in the room, and then we turn to our more traditional public health method of testing and if somebody actually tests positive in the room then I’m very comfortable following our standard measures of isolation and then quarantining their close contacts,” Sisson said. “Because we don’t know exactly how the positive filter relates to somebody

being infectious, that’s why we aren’t requiring people to quarantine.”

Superintendent John Bowes said the district isn’t mandating weekly testing for in-person students because public health agencies aren’t requiring it and because there are legal protections around access to a free and appropriate public education that doesn’t fit with a testing mandate.

COVID-19 Dashboard Laura Juanitas, associate superintendent of student support services, introduced a new COVID-19 dashboard that lists, by campus, the number of positive cases and the number of students and staff that were exposed and quarantined. The dashboard is updated daily, and there’s a second dashboard that lists historical case numbers among students and staff.

Juanitas said the one positive case found at Emerson during the first week back to school led to 71 student quarantines and five staff member quarantines.

Juanitas added, building on a point made by Sisson and Belafsky, that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the California Department of Public Health and the Yolo County Department of Public Health all recognize that fully vaccinated people such as district teachers don’t need to quarantine, even with a close contact with someone who has COVID-19, as long as they don’t have symptoms. But the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, which governs workplace health and safety, hasn’t yet updated COVID-19 emergency orders to recognize that vaccinated people don’t need to quarantine.

The result of this, Juanitas said, is that along with four classrooms of students needing to quarantine, four teachers were sent home for 10 days as well.

Juanitas added that the district hasn’t identified a single case of COVID-19 transmission on

information now to give students, their families and our employees ample time to make plans to be vaccinated prior to the start of the fall term.”

The requirement is conditioned on availability of COVID-19 vaccines and the vaccines receiving full approval from the Food and Drug Administration.

The vaccines being used in the U.S. are authorized for emergency use only, which prevents institutions from requiring them, but they could be given full

After getting vaccinated, students who plan on accessing campus facilities in the fall will need to update their immunization records before coming to campus, the UC Office of the President said in a press release.

Students and employees are already required to immunize themselves against other diseases, including measles, mumps, rubella, chicken pox and, as of last year, the flu. As with those shots, students and employees may seek an

exemption from the COVID-19 vaccine requirement based on medical or religious grounds.

While vaccination is the most effective tool to safely reopen campuses, other precautions will still be implemented. “Physical distancing, mask-wearing and frequent handwashing and cleaning will continue to be crucial for daily campus life,” the press release stated.

An only child born and raised in Humboldt, Tenn., by his Mother Dee, Bill went on to study business, education and mathematics at Lincoln University in Missouri, and later received a master’s degree at the University of Utah.

In 1966, Bill and his family moved to Davis where he began teaching math, typing and Black studies — a program he had established — at Davis High School.

He also spent time as a baseball coach. Bill also taught education at UC Berkeley and

was a devoted Cal fan. He enjoyed playing golf, tennis and team bowling.

Bill had a passion for history and for most of his life fought fiercely for causes of social justice. He loved to travel. He always had an interesting story or a bad joke to tell.

Bill spent his final days surrounded by friends and family. He is survived by his children, Angie, Bill Jr., Aaron, Michelle and Eric, as well as a large extended family in Missouri and Tennessee.

Memorial services will be held on May 15. More details will be announced.

Please, don’t drink and drive.

We would rather not be your designated driver.

school sites.

“Although a positive case can lead to considerable disruption, we have to focus on the fact that as of today we have not had any additional positive cases linked to the one exposure,” Juanitas said.

“So quarantine does work and is keeping our campuses healthy.”

Return to campus Rody Boonchouy, associate superintendent of instructional services, said the transition to five-day, in-person learning on school campuses was strenuous — especially in regard to teachers adapting to a new teaching model that involves teaching distance learners and in-person students simultaneously — but successful.

“Many smiles were evident, even behind masks,” Boonchouy said. “We hit some bumps along the way, particularly as we navigated new practices and pushed the limits of our technology and infrastructure. Despite the challenges, we are finding our stride instructionally and modifying and tuning practices to accommodate two distinct modalities of instruction in their classes.”

Matt Duffy, director of elementary education and leadership, talked about how the model had launched at preschool and elementary school. Troy Allen, director of secondary education and leadership, did the same for the district’s secondary schools.

Both said students were happy to be back on campus. Duffy said elementary school teachers have been innovative in using outdoor spaces for instruction. Allen talked about how teachers are adapting to teaching both distance learners and in-person students at once.

“Teachers also reported this was the most significant and challenging transition they’ve experienced this past year, but that each progressive day was both different and better for all,” Allen said.

Juantias said Samantha Webster, the district’s foster and

homeless youth liaison, contacted all identified families prior to the return to assess school readiness.

She was able to connect with every family, Juanitas said, and answered questions about the new model schedule, health and safety protocols and assured families that their student’s academic and social-emotional needs would be met whether they returned in-person or stayed in distance learning.

Deputy superintendent Matt Best said Webster was able to offer assistance with transportation to students who wanted to return to school in person, and purchased bikes for one family.

“Families of students remaining in distance learning reported a variety of reasons for their decision which include living outside of town, concern for students’ health and safety during COVID,” said Best. “I think most telling was wanting to keep their students’ routine consistent. Some felt that if distance learning was going well they would continue that with this sense their students were already experiencing many changes in their lives.”

Ricardo Perez, director of English Learner, Immersion and World Language Programs, said the district was able to make direct contact with every family that speaks a language other than English, including migrant families, for the purpose of providing them information about the district’s shift to a new learning model.

Overall, 80% of elementary students returned to in-person learning; 69% of junior-high students and 54% of high-school students returned as well. Special education students at all grade levels made roughly similar choices, as did English language learners and students eligible for free or reduced price lunch, according to the agenda documents.

Project Name: Zoning Ordinance Amendment Addressing Accessory Dwelling Units, Jaunior Accessory Dwelling Units, Guest Houses and Non-Ministerial Accessory Dwelling Units Project Location: City Wide in All Locations Where a Single Family Residence or a Multifamily Residential Project is located.

Applicant: City of Davis as required by the State of California Project Description: The City of Davis is proposing an Amendment to Chapter 40 of the Davis Municipal Code pertaining to Accessory Dwelling Units, Junior Accessory Dwelling Units, Guest Houses and Non-Ministerial Accessory Dwelling Units. The purpose of the amendment is to update the City of Davis Municipal Code to make it comply with State Law. A summary of the main provisions of the amendments is below: 1. Adopt provisions and standards for attached and detached accessory dwelling units, that meet the provisions of the California Government Codes 65852.2 and 65852.22, to be approved by a ministerial process.

2. Adopt provisions and development standards for attached and detached accessory dwelling units, that do not meet the provisions of the California Government Codes 65852.2 and 65852.22, to be approved by a non-ministerial process.

3. Clarify the difference between Guest Houses and Accessory Dwelling Units by re- organizing and re-adopting the zoning provisions related to guest houses.

4. Updating certain definitions related to terms used in the proposed ordinance related to Accessory Dwelling Units, Junior Accessory Dwelling Units, Non-Ministerial Accessory Dwelling Units and Guest Houses.

The final zoning ordinance amendment is subject to review

and approval by the City Council. Recommendations of the Planning Commission are advisory to the Council.

Environmental Determination: The City has determined that the proposed project is categorically exempt from further environmental review pursuant to the following sections of the CEQA Guidelines: Section 15061(3) which addresses the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and this project does not affect the land use or density of single family zoned sites; Section 15303 which exempts the construction of new small structures where the number of structures are the maximum allowable on any legal parcel (examples include an accessory dwelling unit in a residential zone); and Section 15305 which exempts minor alterations in land use limitations which do not result in changes in land use or density. In addition, adoption of an ordinance regarding accessory dwelling units in residential zones is statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 21080.17 of the Public Resources Code.

Availability of Documents: Additional information pertaining to the project is available for review at the Department of Community Development and Sustainability, Planning Division, 23 Russell Boulevard, Davis, California, 95616. Agendas and Staff reports are available through the city’s website at: https://cityofdavis. org/city-hall/commissions-and-committees/planningcommission/agendas.

VCE joins California Community Power Peyret promoted at Special to The Enterprise Valley Clean Energy is pleased to announce that it has joined nine other community-choice aggregation programs across California in a new joint powers authority, California Community Power. Membership in this JPA enables CCAs to achieve their ambitious climate and resilience goals in a cost-effective manner by combining their purchasing power.

The new JPA serves more than 2 million customers in more than 140 municipalities from Humboldt to Santa Barbara. Member CCAs include Valley Clean Energy, Central Coast Community Energy, East Bay Community Energy, MCE, Peninsula Clean Energy, Redwood Coast Energy Authority, San Jose Clean Energy, Silicon Valley Clean Energy, Sonoma Clean Power and CleanPowerSF. “This new agreement allows us to join forces with other community choice aggregators like us to go after a share of clean power deals that might be too big to make sense for us alone,” said Dan Carson, chair of the VCE board of directors and a member of the Davis City Council.

“For example, this new agreement

would enable us to join with other CCAs to procure energy resources from long-term storage facilities that will complement our use of solar generation in peak periods during the day,” Carson added. “It is another critical piece of our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that pose a danger to our community and our planet.”

Under the JPA structure, CCA members choose which projects to participate in. Each CCA is represented on the board of directors, which operates as a public entity with open and transparent meetings in compliance with the Brown Act. “Over the years, as the CCA movement has grown, there has been an increase of CCA joint procurement efforts for large-scale renewables and energy storage projects,” said Beth Vaughan, executive director of the California Community Choice Association.

“The creation of California Community Power represents a truly community-led approach to advancing cleaner energy, greater reliability and reduced costs for ratepayers.”

Added Girish Balachandran, California Community Power board chair

and Silicon Valley Clean Energy CEO, “With the addition of Valley Clean Energy, California Community Power will be able to extend our benefits to even more customers. Together, we are advancing innovative solutions to reliably and affordably transition to a decarbonized grid.”

The JPA structure safeguards members from additional liabilities so there is no added risk, said Mitch Sears, VCE’s interim general manager, who will be the local agency’s designee for the California Community Power board.

“Therefore, the VCE board of directors will have the opportunity to fully consider the benefits, obligations and risks of each California Community Power project that VCE may want to join,” Sears added.

Valley Clean Energy is Yolo County’s community-choice aggregation program, dedicated to providing clean, affordable electricity to its customers in the cities of Woodland, Davis and Winters as well as unincorporated Yolo County.

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.

For information, visit https://www.citruscircuits. org/robocamps.html.

We are losing sleep over this sleepiness M

y husband, S, and I are in a ridiculous battle over sleep. I’m actually frustrated at both of us.

As everyone is well aware, sleep is really important to your body. It’s when your brain gets some recharging time and your cells, muscles and tissues undergo repair. Poor sleep is to blame for many problems, including low energy, mental function and susceptibility to disease.

S gets poor sleep most nights, and I give him a good bit of the blame because he has terrible habits right now. Here is his typical routine: Wake up at 5 a.m., be at work by 6:15 a.m. most days, and fall asleep watching TV around 7:30 p.m most nights. This is probably many people’s routines, adjusted by an hour or so, and it’s not the actual issue we are battling.

The battle begins when S will not go to bed after he’s fallen

what you’ve missed.”

S’s response, 99 times out of 100: “I’m awake!”

T asleep, nor will he admit he was asleep, or that he is probably going to be snoozing again in two minutes. Instead, there is this inexplicable charade that he was just blinking extra long, or that he is having allergies and needs to soothe his eyes a minute, and that he is, in fact, wide awake.

I generally take a little pity on him when I first notice he’s asleep, by gently saying, “Honey?

Let’s turn off this very complicated, intricately plotted show that I’m barely keeping up with until you are more awake so I won’t need to explain to you

wo minutes later when he’s asleep again, I’m shrew-like. “Honey!” I shout, startling him into a panic.

I’m equally mad at myself for believing S was actually going to awake from his catnap refreshed and ready to watch more of “The Man in The High Castle.”

Sometimes I can convince him to watch the Dodger game in bed, where I keep the remote resting between us and turn off the TV when the heavy sleep sounds start. But curses to our bedroom TV with the little chime-y sounds it makes when I turn it off, which I only do after I’ve been systematically lowering the volume for 5 minutes or so.

The chime-y sound never fails to wake up S with a slurred, “I’m awake!”

This whole farce galls me beyond reason, which brings us to this past weekend’s conversation.

S: “Why does it bother you so much when you think I’m asleep while watching TV?” Me: “I don’t think you’re asleep, you are asleep.” Nice start.

S: “Anyway, what is the actual problem in your mind?”

After some thought — because my response has always been instinctive annoyance — I honed in on the health angle.

Me: “I guess it’s because most nights you are awake for an hour or two in the middle of the night.

You rarely get a solid seven-tonine hours of sleep, which is bad for your health. And I think the series of catnaps you are taking before bed ruins your ability to stay asleep.”

He appreciated my answer, then offered, “Did you ever think that maybe I can’t stay asleep in

the middle of the night because I’m afraid you are going to scream my name at any moment to wake me up?”

We laughed at this, and I agreed to be less aggressive in my requests that S go to bed when he’s tired, while he agreed to not be so annoying when he was caught sleeping.

So far, neither of us has stuck to our end of the deal. Three times this past week he fell asleep in the evening while slumped on the couch or in a chair, and three times I used my outside voice to demand he not be asleep.

I truly am sick and tired of worrying that my beloved is gonna be sick and tired.

Protecting children, preserving families since 2001

BY ERIKA Y. CISNEROS Special to The Enterprise

I

can still remember the trembling of her lips and the fear in her eyes as my mother begged my siblings and me to go to our room and lock the door.

We did not want to leave her alone with him, but if we did not, my father’s rage would spill on to us.

As you can probably guess by now, I did not grow up in a safe and stable home. I was born in Mexico and raised by a single mother who came to this country to escape abuse and to build a brighter future for our family.

My mother worked two jobs to provide for my siblings and me and still struggled to make ends meet. While growing up, I felt the chronic stress that adversity and abuse cause. This is why I want to do everything in my power to raise awareness and create change so that other children do not have to experience what I did.

Child abuse is an issue that should concern everyone because children are our future. Did you know that 9 million children live in California and that one in four of them experience abuse or neglect at some point in their lives? April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and as a community, we must unite and fight to raise awareness. All children have a fundamental need for a safe, stable, and loving home, and the time to make this a reality and create change is now.

Growing up in a healthy environment should not be a privilege. It should be every child’s right. It is our shared civic responsibility to help ensure all children grow up in a safe,

YOLO CRISIS NURSERY stable and loving home. Supporting, protecting, and funding this fundamental right will benefit everyone and will allow all our children a real chance to grow into healthy adults who will improve our communities and soxciety as a whole.

For the past 20 years, Yolo Crisis Nursery has worked tirelessly to protect at-risk children while also keeping families together. The nursery is only one of four crisis nurseries in the state. It is unique because it provides trauma-informed emergency childcare for families in crisis while creating a support system that not only helps to mitigate the current crisis but helps avoid new ones in the future. This approach has been very successful. We are proud that 98% of respite care families served at the Yolo Crisis Nursery have not entered child protective services.

Child abuse knows no boundaries. It occurs across all income levels and racial and ethnic backgrounds. Many factors contribute to child abuse and neglect, including stress, family history of violence, poverty, substance abuse and even chronic health conditions.

Today, the nursery’s work is more important than ever. Family stress levels are through the roof as a result of the pandemic.

The number of families experiencing crises and adversity has increased enormously. More and more families are in need of support and the Yolo Crisis Nursery is there for our community. We never turn children away.

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. Did you know that one in four children experience abuse or neglect at some point in their lives?

My commitment to making a difference for future generations motivated me to become a first-generation college student, and last year I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in sociology from UC Davis. I am now applying to graduate school with the goal of obtaining my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology.

Having personally experienced it, I understand how detrimental toxic stress can be on a person’s

mental and physical health. Consequently, I want to do everything within my means to raise awareness of its devastating effects and be a part of the solution.

I recently joined the Yolo Crisis Nursery Board of Directors because we share a passion to prevent child abuse, preserve families, and create change.

Child abuse and neglect is an issue that affects everyone. There is a well-known quote that

asserts “we need to be the change that we want to see,” and I invite you to join me in being a part of that change.

On May 6, the Sacramento regional community will come together for the Big Day of Giving. It is a 24-hour generosity movement and an opportunity to rally around our local nonprofits after a uniquely challenging year. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference!

We hope you will give from your heart to the Yolo Crisis Nursery to help us build safe, stable, and loving homes for Yolo County children to grow up in.

Thanks to the generosity of the MJ & MP Whelan-Miille Family Charitable Fund’s donation of $5,000 and Alan and Mary Buckpitt’s donation of $1,000, they have come together to match the first $6,000 in Big Day of Giving donations dollarfor-dollar!

Your gift will help the Nursery provide services to protect children and help at-risk families achieve stability.

We encourage those who are able to please make a gift on May 6. You can schedule your gift now by visiting our website at www.yolocrisisnursery.org or by mailing a check to 1107 Kennedy Place, Suite 5, Davis, CA 95616.

The Yolo Crisis Nursery is saving children’s lives and transforming families. We all need to be the change we hope to see, and your gift will directly support the frontline work that the Nursery is doing to keep our community’s most vulnerable children safe and their families whole.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

SUNDAY, APRIL 25, 2021 A9

VACCINE: Different shots have different handling needs From Page A1 For a couple of months, Healthy Davis Together has been operating a COVID-19 vaccine clinic in West Sacramento for CommuniCare patients and more recently opened a clinic in Woodland. Through last week, more than 5,000 vaccines have been administered in those clinics, 53 percent of them to Latinos, according to Dr. Sheri Belafsky, medical director for Healthy Davis Together.

Now, with excess capacity available at both clinics, vaccinations have been opened up to the general public.

Visit healthydavistogether.org and make an appointment by logging into an existing account or making a new one under the testing tab. Options are available for the West Sacramento clinic located at city hall and the Woodland clinic at Woodland Community College.

On Thursday morning last week, the clinic at Woodland Community College was running like a well-oiled machine. Open for about a month and half now, the site averages around 70 people a day, according to operations manager Lina Layiktez.

The clinic is located in a building at the rear of the expansive campus on Gibson Road and Healthy Davis Together even has drivers in golf carts ferrying people back and forth from the parking lot.

Getting shots into arms requires many hands and meticulous record-keeping. On Thursday, registered nurse Jessica DeZarn was in charge of pulling individual doses from vials, painstaking work that requires extracting every last drop of the liquid to ensure six doses of the Pfizer vaccine are pulled from

each vial and 11 of the Moderna.

Prior to getting into DeZarn’s hands, the vials move through a cold-chain process that begins in ultra-low-temperature freezers.

From there, the process differs for Pfizer and Moderna. Moderna vaccines can be stored in a refrigerator for 30 days, then at room temperature for up to 24 hours so the long as the vial is unpunctured. Pfizer vaccines can be refrigerated for up to five days and unpunctured vials must be used within two hours.

Johnson and Johnson vaccines, which were still on hold on Thursday, don’t need to be frozen.

Ensuring the temperature requirements are met at all times and keeping track of every vial and every dose is just part of work involved in running the clinics.

Healthy Davis Together has hired dozens and dozens of people to run the clinics, including UC Davis employees idled when the campus shut down a variety of operations due to the pandemic.

They are now assisting people as they arrive, sign in and answer a health questionnaire; serving as interpreters; administering vaccines; monitoring post-vaccine; and making follow-up appointments.

Meanwhile, a classroom adjacent to the clinic at Woodland Community College is being made available to Healthy Davis Together to set up a call center where outreach to CommuniCare patients can continue. More than 40,000 text messages or phone calls were made to patients to encourage them to come in for vaccinations, Belafsky said, but only a fraction have made appointments and received vaccines.

Some work for employers who won’t give them time off to get a

Others need translators, lack technology or are simply hesitant to get a vaccine.

Convincing them to come in is a “resource intensive process,” noted Belafsky. Healthy Davis Together works closely with community advocates throughout the county as well as agencies like First 5 Yolo, she said, to reach as many people as possible. A mobile vaccine unit launched Thursday was bringing vaccines directly into communities, with staff even going door-to-door at motels along West Capitol Avenue.

Simply having a nurse knock

on the door, offer a vaccine and answer questions about its safety helps overcome some hesitancy, Belafsky said.

The mix of fixed sites like the clinic in Woodland as well as mobile units will likely continue for some time, at least into summer, she added.

But she’s already thinking ahead to what’s next.

With vaccine manufacturers indicating people will need booster shots — possibly even annually — the kind of work Healthy Davis Together is doing may continue to be necessary.

While once it was thought COVID-19 vaccines would be readily available in the offices of primary care providers, that

CRIME: D.A.’s office aims to support survivors From Page A1 and wellbeing,” Reisig said.

Wednesday’s honorees included the family of Yolo County murder victim Kevin “Johnny” Ruska Jr., who died in a South Davis motel room in 1998 after his ex-girlfriend forced him into the trunk of his own car in Tacoma, Wash., shot him in the stomach and drove hundreds of miles to Davis.

Sentenced to 84 years to life in prison, Ruska’s killer gained early parole last year under a California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation order intended to reduce prison populations ravaged by coronavirus, to the horror of Ruska’s family.

“This family had no opportunity to speak up, object or be heard,” said Assistant Chief Deputy District Attorney Melinda Aiello, who delivered Ruska’s family the difficult news. “Six days they had to process the news that their family’s murderer was

going to be released. ...

CDCR took the position that victims’ rights did not apply in this situation.”

Although they couldn’t reverse the decision, Ruska’s family still took action, speaking out to local and national media on the issue and demanding specific conditions from California parole officials that would keep them informed going forward.

Ruska’s sister Dena Love, appearing at the ceremony online from Washington, said her family will continue their fight “because victims have rights too, and they should not be revictimized by anyone. ... My brother deserves to have his voice be heard, because his life mattered.”

Others survivors recognized included: ■ Kristen, the victim of a 1994 sexual assault in Davis who, after 25 years of pushing law enforcement for answers, saw her attacker identified through DNA evidence and linked

to two other rapes. Kristen delivered a powerful impact statement at his December sentencing hearing, where he received a 35-year prison term.

■ Emily, who escaped her abusive husband — also her sex trafficker — and narrowly avoided being shot by him while driving her car in West Sacramento. Her testimony led to his conviction on pimping, pandering and firearm assault charges.

■ Lisa, a domestic violence victim who survived more than a dozen stab wounds to her head and torso and saw her attacker sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for attempted murder.

■ Susan, an identity-theft victim who faced the suspect during a restorative justice session, relaying to him the vulnerability she felt and the time and effort it took to repair the damage.

Keynote speaker Christina Gonzales, whose cousin Jesus Alderete was

murdered in Woodland in 2003, chronicled her family’s fight against Senate Bill 1437, under which a man who aided Alderete’s killer is seeking a lesser sentence and early release from prison.

The DA’s “Hero of the Year” award went to Daisy, the shelter dog that became the first-ever working comfort dog for a California DA’s office. She passed away in January.

During her 12 years of service with the county’s Multidisciplinary Interview Center, where young victims of abuse and other traumatic crimes undergo their forensic interviews, Daisy aided more than 2,100 children during their interviews, court hearings and recovery process.

changed some with the storage requirements of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

“Most offices can’t do that,” Belafsky noted.

It’s likely specialized vaccine sites will continue to be needed for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, she said.

Meanwhile, even with more and more people getting vaccinated, the need for COVID-19 testing remains as great as ever.

Healthy Davis Together last week expanded its testing to Woodland public schools and is offering testing to all of the county’s schools, including in West Sacramento and Winters. Testing has also been expanded to migrant centers, farmworkers in several counties and the Fourth and Hope homeless shelter in Woodland and plans are in the works to add a day of testing at the vaccine clinics.

“We’ve been creeping out of Davis to reach vulnerable populations,” Belafsky noted.

The focus has been on areas of the county with higher test positivity rates than Davis, as well as the most disadvantaged quartile of the county’s population.

With less than half of the county’s population vaccinated so far, “we’re nowhere near herd immunity,” Belafsky said.

And even those who are vaccinated should continue to be tested, as all three variants of concern are in the county and associated with what Belafsky called vaccine breakthrough.

Luckily for Yolo County, Healthy Davis Together is able to do both — vaccinate and test. For free, at multiple locations and now open to anyone.

or about a decade, “The Rockford Files” was one of the most popular shows on television.

James Garner starred as Jim Rockford, a one-man private detective agency who always managed to find trouble, unsavory characters or both.

Rockford drove a gold Firebird in the show, with the license tag 853 OKG. That was not by coincidence.

Garner wrote in his autobiography that his first paying acting job came in August 1953 in Oklahoma City.

Thus the 853 for the month and year, OKG for the locale. Garner lived to be 86 years old and spent more than five decades in television and movie roles.

Might the FCS consider a switch to a schedule that runs March through late June, followed by playoffs that end in midJuly?

Local Amoah is a Big Sky first-team pick Enterprise staff “In my opinion, he’s a firstteam all-conference player,” UC Davis football coach Dan Hawkins said of offensive lineman Nick Amoah earlier this spring.

The Aggie pigskin boss clearly knew what he was talking about ...

Thirteen total UCD players, including former Davis High standout Amoah earned All-Big Sky Conference football honors this past week as the league rolled out its 2021 spring awards.

Six Aggies made the AllBSC first team, another seven earned secondteam accolades MAAE and defensive Big Sky co-Freshman lineman Chubba Maae of the Year was tagged coFreshman of the Year.

Offensive linemen Amoah and Connor Pettek joined tight end McCallan Castles, cornerback Jordan Perryman, defensive tackle Bryce Rodgers and punter Daniel Whelan on the Big Sky’s top squad.

Maae, defensive end Luka Nixon, linebackers Connor Airey and Cole Hansen, running back Lan Larison and punt returner Isaiah Thomas made the second team.

Rodgers, Ford and Whelan are repeat honorees for UCD. Whelan made the All-Big Sky third team in 2019, while

Ford and Rodgers each snared honorable mentions that year. Whelan also took home honorable mention as a sophomore in 2018.

The representation of the Aggies’ offensive line comes with little surprise, given the team’s No. 2 conference standing in rushing offense (226.4 yards per game), plus its No. 3 rank in total offense (454.6 ypg), scoring offense (33.2 ppg) and passing efficiency (149.2).

Maae’s CoFreshman of the Year comes after a season in which he recorded 12 tackles, including a tackle for loss in the seasonopening upset of Idaho.

Statistically, Airey (38) and Hansen (33) respectively finished 13th and tied for 18th among the Big Sky tackles leaders. Hansen also led Davis with 7.5 tackles for losses of 21 yards, while Airey added a pair of pass breakups and an interception.

Whelan had the highest punting average (47.9) of any league player with more than one game played, and would have ranked among the national FCS leaders had he attempted one more punt: his 17 in five games puts him just shy of the minimum of 3.6 per game to qualify. Thomas

posted eight punt returns for a 10.13 average, ranking 12th nationally. He also had interceptions against Idaho and Cal Poly on defense.

Larison took over the role of starting running back after junior Ulonzo Gilliam, Jr. went down with an injury, responding with 327 yards, a 5.8 average and four touchdowns.

He ranked fifth among Big Sky qualifiers with 65.4 yards per game. (Gilliam averaged 103.0 yards per game but did not meet the minimum number of games played.)

Castles ranked second on the

team with 194 receiving yards, third with 12 catches and tied Carson Crawford for the team lead of three receiving touchdowns.

Perryman logged 16 tackles with a pair of PBUs and a forced fumble. Nixon was right behind Perryman on the tackles chart with 14, including 4.0 TFLs and 3.0 sacks for 20 yards.

Davis went 3-2 in the abbreviated spring season, finishing 13th in the final Stats Perform regular-season media poll and 12th in the coaches’ rankings.

The Aggies will launch their 2021 fall slate at Tulsa on Sept. 2.

Blue Devil girls pick up first basketball win of the season Enterprise staff Snapping a three-game losing skid, the Davis High girls basketball team downed Christian Brothers Friday night, 48-37, in Sacramento.

Skylar Schouten’s 13 points led all scorers in the contest, while her younger sister Tessa added 10 for the Blue Crew along with an eye-popping 14 rebounds to notch her first career doubledouble. Alia Cordone scored a season-high 9 points, Maddie Buzbee chalked up 8 and Bella Oliva finished with 6 in the win, which helped DHS improve to 1-3 overall.

“It was a close game,” Devil head coach Heather Highshoe said. “Back and forth, but then our defense really stepped up during the second half, especially during the fourth quarter.”

In the second half, DHS held the Falcons to just 11 total points — 5 in the third frame and 6 in the fourth.

Highshoe also praised Cordone’s play on the glass. The 6-foot freshman’s 9 points were a season-high.

“We’re learning a lot and I’ve seen improvement in every game,” Highshoe added. “We’re facing great competition and the girls are stepping up.”

Tuesday, the locals kick off a stint of back-to-back-to-back games, away against Colfax.

They’ll then host Vista Del Lago (Wednesday) and Sierra Foothill League powerhouse Folsom on Thursday. Both game start at 7 p.m.

Devil head coach Jenn Morris lauded Blissett and Scheuring’s efforts to keep the ball in Davis’ possession the majority of the match, crediting Ella Heringer’s pesky defense that along with Morris and Holman-Evans helped the locals finish with 15 team takeaways.

The Devils have now scored 48 times and allowed just three opponent goals. They face St. Francis next in a 7:30 p.m. matchup on Tuesday that Morris says should be “a battle.”

Enterprise staff A stellar finish to the 2020-21 regular season earned UC Davis junior Thomas Hutchison Big West Conference Golfer of the Month honors for April, the league office announced on this week.

Hutchison finished the season a combined 8-under par in the two events, finishing tied for 28th at the Wyoming Cowboy Classic, where UCD finished in a tie for sixth out of 23 teams, before ending the Aggies’ own El Macero Classic in a tie for fourth while helping his team to the tournament title. The second-highest Big West individual finisher at the Cowboy Classic, Hutchison finished with a 1-under 215 out of a field of 120 golfers, while his tie for fourth at the El Macero Classic was his best finish since a runner-up finish at the 2019 Big West Championships.

Wood, who was a secondteam selection in 2019, picked up her second career All-Big West honor on Wednesday after helping lead the Aggies to a runnerup finish at the conference championships for the second time in the last three events, as did Sun, who joined her on the second team two years ago.

Beach volleyball The Aggies topped the green and gold, 5-0, Saturday morning, then returned to Hornet Beach two hours later to earn a 4-1 victory.

The wins boosted UCD to 8-16 overall this spring.

In the opening bout, Paloma Bowman and Colleen McGuire won (21-9,

21-18) at the No. 1 spot, while Megan Luly/Heather Reed (21-17, 21-15), Madelin Smith/Jane Seslar (21-14, 21-12), Alexa Rockas/Rose Holscher (22-20, 21-10) snared straight-set wins.

Shooting guard Jackson Isidor’s 14 points and 10 rebounds were a bright spot as the locals shook off some rust following more than a year without an organized competition.

Also returning for DHS this year will be guards Colin Walsh, Bryce Barker, Isaiah Conlan and Alan Favela as well as forwards Nathan Lee and Shiya Solodoff.

Last week, the Delta League released its tentative spring schedule, with the Devils’ home opener penciled in for May 6 against Pleasant Grove. Davis will only host two additional contests: Cosumnes Oaks on May 20 and Franklin on May 27.

All three of those games are set to tip off at 7 p.m.

STREAK: Hot hitters From Page B1 second inning, Davis relievers batten downed the hatches.

Dante Romero and Chin each pitched two shutout frames and struck out two in relief, and Carston shut the door with two punch outs in a spotless seventh inning.

Shorts led the Devils with three hits and two RBI, Gizaw Baker and Romero had two base knocks apiece, and Finerty doubled twice.

On Friday, Davis beat up on visiting Christian Brothers (2-4) in an 11-0, mercy-ruled five-inning victory.

Lybbert started for DHS, tossing three shutout frames and striking out one. The senior stranded the bases loaded in the second, and was assisted by a smooth doubleplay by Shorts and Israel in the third.

“I don’t think he necessarily had his best stuff but he competed and he got out of the jams when he found himself in them,” Guevin said. “And that’s the most you can ask for a pitcher when he doesn’t have his good stuff.”

Joby Antony and Jason Henkel combined to throw two clean frames in relief.

The Davis offense — which managed just two total runs in three games

against Franklin last week — was humming on Friday.

DHS scored four in the second, taking advantage of two Falcon errors.

Christian Brothers players seemed allergic to the ball, committing five errors.

Leading off the fourth, Finerty crushed a 1-0 pitch over the left-field wall for his first home run of the season. Davis, fired up, added six more runs in the frame and batted around. Finerty himself tripled in Davis’ final run of the inning, finishing a double short of the cycle.

Lybbert singled twice in addition to his performance on the mound, and Joey Traverso singled twice and drove in two runs in the win.

Davis takes its fourgame win streak into a series with Pleasant Grove next week. The Eagles host the Devils at 4 p.m. on Tuesday.

DHS is still looking for its first Delta league win.

But Guevin believes victories against tough competition this week have prepared his squad.

“We try and load our competition up,” Guevin said. “There’s no breaks in the Delta league — everyone’s good, top to bottom.

So if you don’t play high quality teams leading into those games you get exposed when you play those games.”

COMMENTARY

Drought highlights ongoing issues

English law the B gold standard in Central Asia

BY LLEWELLYN KING Special to The Enterprise

O

ne of the great challenges for countries seeking global investment is to be able to assure that their legal systems are transparent, reliable and free from political influence.

Kazakhstan, an ambitious Central Asian country, has risen to this challenge with the Astana International Financial Center.

Established in July 2018, the AIFC, based in Kazakhstan’s capital Nur-Sultan, imported a gold-plated, civil legal system for litigation and dispute resolution. It installed English law, which is the preferred governing law for business transactions worldwide.

These courts may sit in the capital NurSultan, previously named Astana, but they were established entirely under the administration of Lord Harry Woolf, the retired chief justice of England and Wales. The courts are now directed by its Chief Justice Lord Jonathan Mance, former deputy president of the Supreme Court in the United Kingdom, and 10 other English judges.

This is a big step forward for an ex-Soviet republic where the USSR used to send millions of political prisoners to some of the more notorious Gulag camps.

Kazakhstan has embraced English law as a source of reliable and reputable jurisprudence for its financial center and enshrined its applicability in a constitutional amendment. The court has also embraced English as the only language to be used by it. Elsewhere in Kazakhstan, Kazakh and Russian are the official languages.

In conceiving the idea of a financial center, the country wanted to make it userfriendly and to attract investment from neighbors China, Russia, the Caucasus, Uzbekistan, Iran, Turkey, and further afield from Europe, the Middle East, Singapore, and the United States. It wants the neighborhood business and that of the world.

The strategy is working. AIFC has attracted 750 firms from 53 countries, and its recently established stock exchange has had 61 issues.

Kazakh officials tell me that they wish to play on the country’s unique location as a traditional crossroads of Europe and Asia.

Kazakhstan is the ninth-largest country in the world but has a population of about 18 million. It is landlocked, lying right on the path of the ancient Silk Road and the modern Chinese Belt and Road initiative.

The AIFC is a building block in Kazakhstan’s aspiration to be one of the world’s leading nations by 2050. It offers investors a tax holiday — from corporate taxes for the income received from providing financial and other services, as well as from capital gains — until 2066.

Kazakhstan is located in a potentially turbulent area bordering Russia, China, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, and lying close to Turkey and Iran. But that also is an asset when seeking to build a financial center. These are the very neighbors who seek financial services.

A

n additional strength for the AIFC is it has a substantial stake in the world of Muslim finance. This requires a separate set of skills and practices and the AIFC has them. Trillions of dollars are involved.

Kazakhstan is constitutionally secular.

Islam is the majority religion of Kazakhstan and practiced in moderation. Other religions are experiencing freedom of worship. I know this from having interviewed both the chief rabbi and the Roman Catholic archbishop a few years ago.

Since independence in 1991, Kazakhstan has relied on its extensive oil and gas fields in the Caspian Sea region for its prominence and wealth. However, like many fossil fuel-rich countries, it is hedging against a declining role for hydrocarbons in the future and is pushing financing, green energy, and new technologies. Kazakhstan, sitting astride the Eurasian Steppe, has one of the world’s greatest wind resources.

And English law is bringing the winds of fortune to Kazakhstan.

y the time this column is published, Northern California may be receiving some much-needed rain, and possibly some snow.

However, late-season precipitation does not change the reality that California is in one of its periodic droughts after two dry years.

Major Northern California reservoirs are only about half-full due to scanty runoff from mountain snowpacks, farmers are getting tiny percentages of their normal water allotments and local water agencies are beginning to impose restrictions on household use.

We’ve seen many droughts, but this one seems somehow different, perhaps because it’s occurring just as Californians are trying to recover, personally and economically, from the deadly COVID-19 pandemic.

In fact, some aspects will be different, particularly for farmers who generally consume three-quarters of the water distributed for human use in California.

During previous droughts, farmers survived by purchasing extra water, by drilling wells to tap underground aquifers, and by persuading officials to divert water that otherwise would maintain wildlife habitats.

During the previous

agricultural diversions from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and reduce flows for fish and other wildlife. However, with Joe Biden in the White House, such diversions will be a harder sell.

F multi-year drought, San Joaquin Valley aquifers were so heavily overdrafted that in many areas the land above them collapsed, a phenomenon known as “subsidence.” A section of the Friant-Kern canal was rendered inoperable. In 2014, the Legislature and former Gov. Jerry Brown enacted a historic groundwater regulation law aimed at preventing a recurrence.

The law’s precise groundwater restrictions are still being formulated, but it’s evident that farmers will not be able, this time around, to pump as much water as they want to offset curtailed supplies from reservoirs. Many will be compelled to leave some fields unplanted, beginning what agricultural economists believe will be widespread farmland fallowing as groundwater rules take effect.

California farmers had an ally in former President Donald Trump, who pushed federal officials to maximize

LETTERS Restaurant sanitation How lovely it was to sit outside and enjoy a restaurant meal Saturday! I so appreciate all the Covid-conscious protocols taking place. One is being missed however.

As I watched the person cleaning off the tables and preparing for the next customers I realized that she did not clean the condiments: salt, pepper, ketchup, etc. As soon as the new group sat down, the dad handed the salt shaker to the toddler to play with before putting it back down on the table. Dad and baby handled an unclean item, leaving additional new germs for the next customers, an so on throughout the day.

Restaurant owners and managers, please require condiment cleaning.

Thanks!

armers also want Gov. Gavin Newsom to declare a drought emergency so they can press him for more Delta water, but while Newsom declared an emergency in Mendocino and Sonoma counties last week, he’s clearly reluctant to do it for the whole state. If he did, it could put him in a nowin situation as he faces a recall election later this year — damned by environmentalists if he helps farmers by hurting the Delta and damned by farmers if he doesn’t.

However this drought plays out, California faces longer-term water supply issues, including the projected impacts of climate change, such as diminishing winter snowpacks.

Newsom’s administration has published a “Water Resilience Portfolio” aimed at managing those issues and hinged on an assumption that the state’s many water interests will act cooperatively to meet the common threat.

However, California water supply has always been more

They are also countries that are presently involved in talks that are trying to resurrect the JCPOA, the agreement they had signed in 2015 with Iran that put restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program with the goal of preventing Iran from making nuclear weapons.

Ironically, the United States and Russia presently possess over 90% of the world’s stockpile of nuclear weapons.

Both countries have pulled out of the Intermediate Nuclear Forces agreement, and are now pursuing the production of new and more dangerous nuclear weapons.

Instead of making headlines with the struggle on how to get back into the JCPOA, the United States, Russia and the other nuclear weapons possessing countries negotiating the JCPOA could make history by assembling a conference that includes all nuclear armed nation states, and states seeking these weapons, with the goal of reaching an agreement to sign and ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

This treaty was adopted on July 7, 2017, after two rounds of negotiations at a conference of the United Nations General Assembly, and entered into force on Jan. 22, when ratified by 50 nation states that do not possess nuclear weapons. As our City Council’s resolution supporting the TPNW notes, it provides the impetus and obligation for the complete elimination of nuclear weapons and a framework

contentious than cooperative, pitting north against the south, urban areas against rural communities, and farmers against environmentalists.

Lurking in the background of this drought, as well as the uncertain supply future, is what would be the most divisive of all water issues — water rights, some of which date back more than a century.

The comprehensive water management envisioned in Newsom’s resilience portfolio probably cannot succeed unless the state modifies, seizes or purchases those long-ingrained water-use rights. During the previous drought, the state Water Resources Control Board flirted with a direct challenge to historic water rights, but then backed away.

In effect, the groundwater regulation law superseded previous legal rights to pump from aquifers and thus could be a precursor to a titanic battle over surface water rights as supplies tighten.

to achieve it. The text of the TPNW can be found at (https://www.un.org/disarmament/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/ tpnw-info-kit-v2.pdf ).

Signing and ratifying the TPNW is an essential step toward protecting present and future generations from the destruction that a nuclear war would bring.

The time spent by nuclear weapons states pressuring Iran on nuclear weapons would be better spent conferring on how nuclear weapons states and states such as Iran can agree to sign and ratify the TPNW, thereby moving toward abolishing nuclear weapons from the face of the earth. Let’s consider asking President Biden to initiate this option.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

SUNDAY, APRIL 25, 2021 B5

Time for looser visitation at nursing homes I t is high time nursing homes loosen up and abandon most of the pandemic-induced rules that have limited visitors to nearly none for more than a year.

Similarly, assisted-living homes that have prevented their residents from venturing into the rest of the world on pain of two-week quarantines within their rooms when they return also need to get sensible.

Those rules seemed reasonable during the height of the coronavirus surges that plagued this nation starting in March 2020.

They appeared prudent at first, but only until the infections afflicting and killing more nursing-home residents than people in any other living arrangement made it crystal clear that the restrictions were not working. Those rules always presumed that isolating denizens of nursing homes would prevent them from infecting one other.

Yet, they became infected and died by the hundreds of thousands over the last 15 months anyhow. That happened because while residents and patients could be isolated, the staffers

caring for them could not.

Nursing-home workers at all levels from the lowliest aides to topranking facility directors went out into the world. Like everyone else, some isolated themselves carefully at home and did not venture into bars or onto crowded beaches. Some went to those places. Some masked whenever they were not at home, others didn’t bother except in grocery stores and places where masking was required for entry.

This all explains why nursinghome residents and staff were among the first to receive COVID-19 vaccines when they became available in late December. As a result, nursing-home rates of infection with the virus have run below those in the

general community for more than two months. Cases there are down more than 90 percent since last fall, but visits remain limited, often just one guest per day per resident.

Lower caseloads do not mean effects of the crisis are over.

Many months of near isolation from friends and relatives created other problems for nursinghome residents who had been accustomed to seeing visitors regularly.

A

dvocates of nursinghome residents say they need those visits for mental health, to give them a sense of purpose, a reason for going on with life.

Those concerns may have been outweighed at the height of the crisis, but no more.

“The residents, the families, the caregivers have all had enough,” Michael Wasserman, past president of the California Assn. of Long Term Care Medicine, told a reporter. “We’re now approaching the point where, if you’re not vaccinated in a nursing home (and some residents

have declined), the primary risk is to yourself (and not to fellow residents).”

Yes, from the earliest days of the pandemic, television showed moving scenes of nursing home residents seeing relatives through ground-floor windows as the only form of visitation open to them.

This was heart-rending, if not as damaging as the fact terminal COVID patients were not allowed even deathbed visitors in hospitals, and were forced to say farewell to their families via cellphone — where that service was available.

Even now, nursing-home management is not agitating or lobbying government for an end to the extreme limits on visitation. This may be because prepandemic visitors were the main check on those owners, with relatives and other guests often noticing patients who were dehydrated, soiled bedding and other problems the residents themselves may have felt too weak or dependent to protest.

The relationship between nursing-home operators and

visitors has long been uneasy.

So long as COVID ran rampant among their residents, the operators were relieved of all this.

That’s over, thanks to mass vaccination efforts, often led by drugstore chain employees who carried syringes into the homes.

So it’s high time state authorities ordered an end to the pandemic rules. Perhaps a transition, with visitation at levels somewhere below unlimited, is appropriate until the nursinghome toll has been lowered even further.

But progress in cutting back incidence of this plague has at least been sufficient to end the companion plague of isolation that preyed on residents’ mental and emotional health at the very time the virus hit them physically.

An Earth Month conversation from Tree Davis

BY OLGA A. LEVITSKY AND ERIN DONLEY MARINEAU

COMMENTARY

Special to The Enterprise

to be proactive in transitioning our urban forest to a palette that is more suited to future conditions.

Trees, and urban green space in general, will be an integral part of our region’s climate adaptation strategy. Therefore, it is more important than ever that we safeguard the benefits of our urban forest canopy by planting a research-informed tree species palette and a diverse understory plant community.

Erin: Tree Davis leverages the skills of board members recruited from the community to support its urban forestry mission. As the current leader of Tree Davis’ Board, what skills do you believe are needed to contribute to a nonprofit board?

Olga: Coming from a corporate background, I can definitely say that there is a bit of gap in awareness, particularly among early and mid-career individuals, around the skills needed for board service. There is a general belief that to serve on a board you have to be a deep subject matter

I

n celebration of Earth Day and the upcoming Big Day of Giving, Tree Davis’ executive director, Erin; and president of the board of directors, Olga, took some time to discuss urban forestry, community-building and how board members contribute to the mission of a nonprofit.

Olga: Why does Tree Davis believe it important to invest in, steward and value our urban forest canopy?

Erin: Trees are essential for healthy, livable communities.

They are our primary connection to nature within our city limits.

Davis is a remarkable place to call home because we have access to parks, greenbelts and other public green spaces — where trees provide a calming sense of place, shade and other public health benefits. We are very fortunate to have a relatively mature urban forest canopy in Davis. As climate conditions change, the species of trees that will best thrive in our community will change as well. We need

expert or a seasoned industry leader. In reality, people with a wide range of experience have skills they can contribute, as long as they bring excitement, creativity, a collaborative mindset, and an interest in a particular cause.

Nonprofits have management, marketing, event planning, financial, strategic, technology, human resources and governance components to their operations. Helping with any of these is of incredible value to the nonprofit and the community.

Olga: Being part of the Tree Davis Board has been a key part of building my relationship to the Davis community, but urban forest spaces can also be a place where people find community connections. Why does Tree Davis prioritize community-building as part of its urban forestry strategy?

Erin: Mental health experts tell us that one of the core tenants of human well-being is having a feeling of connectedness.

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, our society was experiencing widespread depression, anxiety and loneliness. Today, there is a real, true need for reconnection and celebration of

our ability to come together (masked in outdoor spaces) in caring for one another and for our shared public spaces in this town we call home.

Erin: Volunteers often say they feel a strong sense of connection not only with our organization but with Davis when they participate in our activities. What would you say are the additional benefits of serving on a nonprofit board for anyone considering taking the leap?

Olga: Aside from the inherent value of helping your nonprofit succeed and grow, there are a few added perks to board service, namely: maximizing impact, building leadership skills, and expanding your network.

While it is absolutely true that there is a lot of value in volunteering at particular events, as a board member, you have a unique opportunity to help at a much greater scale: possibly generating tens of thousands of dollars towards your chosen cause through the development of a strategic plan or enhancement of the nonprofit’s finances, outreach, etc. If you are coming from a business or academic

background, sitting on a nonprofit board will challenge you in new and different ways, providing opportunities for growth and personal development.

And perhaps best of all — serving on a Board is a wonderful way to meet people and collaborate with other high impact individuals who want to invest in and grow the community and be part of our city’s leadership.

Poem of the month Instructions For Building Straw Huts First you must have unbelievable faith in water, in women dancing like hands playing harps for straw to grow stalks of fire.

You must understand the year that begins with your hands tied behind your back, worship of dark totems weighed down with night birds that shift their weight & leave holes in the sky. You must know what’s behind the shadow of a treadmill— its window the moon’s reflection & silent season reaching into red sunlight hills.

You must know the hard science of building walls that sway with summer storms.

Locking arms to a frame of air, frame of oak rooted to ancient ground where the door’s constructed last,

just wide enough for two lovers to enter on hands & knees.

You must dance the weaverbird’s song for mending water & light with straw, earth, mind, bright loom of grain untortured by bushels of thorns.

— Yusef Komunyakaa ———— Pulitzer Prize-winning African American poet Yusef Komunyakaa is a veteran of the war in Vietnam, and has written quite a lot about that experience. Some of these poems are quite heart-rending, and yet I find a lot of humanity in them, sometimes they are like a call for humanity to exist. I find that hope in this one.

Did we not begin the year with our hands “tied behind our back”? Did we not need “the hard science of building walls”?

I find a measure of humanity in the lovers who enter the hut and in the idea of dancing to the song of the weaverbird. May we all be protected by the huts that we have built. May our dance go on and on.

John E. Eck CASE NO. PR2021-0049 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: John Edward Eck A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by: Ashley M. Eck in the Superior Court of California, County of: Yolo THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that: Ashley M. Eck be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on 05/21/2021 at 9:00 a.m. in Department 9 located at 1000 Main Street, Woodland, CA 95695.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Why not?

Dear Annie: I’m a mom to three beautiful little boys, all under the age of 10. Although I love my kids more than anything, I’ve always wanted to have a little girl. When I talk about it with my husband, he says he’s content with our boys and that if we have another child, it’s bound to be another boy, so we shouldn’t even try.

I’ve tried to focus on our life and our family, but I constantly feel like it’s not complete without a little girl.

My husband thinks I’ll be very upset if we do have another boy, but I simply told him that if it’s another boy, then it’s God’s way of saying that I wasn’t meant to have a girl.

And that’s fine. I just don’t want to go through my life thinking that I should have tried for a baby girl.

— Wife and Mommy Dear Wife and Mommy: Children are little walking, talking miracles. If you truly will be OK if it’s another boy, you should go for it. When we look back, we usually regret the things we didn’t do more than the things we did. Taking risks and trying is what living a full life is all about. Besides, if you get a fourth boy, you never know — maybe he will marry a wonderful woman who will take care of you and your husband in old age.

——— Dear Annie: Twenty-three years ago, we bought a second home at Lake of the Ozarks with

an inheritance. We had one income and three kids headed for college; we were not rich.

One of our new neighbors — an older, plain-speaking woman — offered this advice: “When you have guests — and you will have lots of requests from relatives and friends to visit — ask them to bring their favorite snacks, or at least their beverage of choice. You will go broke if you try to supply everyone’s requests for drink and snacks. Providing all their meals for three or four days will be expensive enough.”

Annie, not every guest is a close friend.

There is no word for “a friendly person I know in passing,” so we call them friends. But these are not your buddies who remember your birthday. They are great fun to share your lake home with, but they should be willing to help a little with the cost of their visit.

We are glad to pay for everything, including meals and expensive gas for days of boating, and do the extra loads of laundry and dishes in exchange for enjoying time with people we LOVE. But for acquaintances who are guests — and their spouses and children — they just need a suggestion on how to show appreciation for their family vacation at the lake.

— Welcome to the Lake Dear Welcome to the Lake: Your neighbor gave wise advice.

I’m printing your letter for hosts and guests alike who are sharing a home with someone they don’t know very well.

Politics and places of worship Dear Readers: The letter from a woman who left her church because she did not want to hear political sermons brought an avalanche of mail. The majority wrote about the tax-free status that churches enjoy. Here are two examples, which I am including because they are so succinct. They are followed by a letter from a pastor, which provides his perspective.

Dear Annie: If his church receives nonprofit status, that preacher using the bully pulpit to push political views risks losing it if politics are discussed.

— Nonprofit Status Dear Annie: A house of worship is allowed to exist tax-free because they are supposedly focusing on faith, which is, or should be, outside of the political arena.

Unfortunately, in today’s America, churches are admonishing their congregants to vote for particular candidates, which is outside the realm of the ideal of separation of church and state. If a house of worship wants to preach politics, then it should be taxed as is any other institution that supports politics.

— Sick of Political Preachers Dear Annie: As a pastor myself, I found your response to “Keep Politics out of Church” may have made my job harder by seeming to support the writer’s bias. There are over 2,000 verses in the Bible that are concerned with matters

The praying mantis is the only known insect that can turn its head and look over its shoulder.

It waits for an insect to stray close, and then snaps it up with a lightning grab of its strong forelegs. It can move twice as fast as a housefly.

When young, praying mantises eat aphids, leafhoppers, mosquitoes, caterpillars and other soft-bodied insects. Later they eat larger insects, beetles, grasshoppers, crickets and other pest insects.

my sermons, nor do I endorse candidates or even mention them by name, but some issues need to be addressed. I can’t help what some people hear me say. I know you need to take your writers at their word and not challenge their perceptions, but I can’t help but wonder how political her pastor really is from the pulpit.

This is a very divisive time in our country, and many people are quick to jump to conclusions. My colleagues and I have the rather unenviable task of representing the whole Bible and keeping our churches, synagogues or any other religious community together. Please refrain from offering advice on subjects that are complicated unless you can appreciate all the nuances.

— Threading the Needle ——— Dear Annie: This is in response to “Don’t Shoot the Mockingbird,” who was embarrassed that he accidentally mirrored people’s accents during conversation.

Anyone with such a gift for mimicking accents should consider studying foreign languages.

I study for fun and am hardly an expert, but I have a great time playing with it! I use Duolingo app. I’ve got a good handle on eight languages so far. — Polyglot Dear Polyglot: Que magnifico!

The benefits go beyond just helping you to communicate with more people. Studies have shown that learning a new language promotes cognitive health in myriad ways, increasing the volume of gray and white matter and enhancing overall brain connectivity. As we age, learning a new language can help keep our working memories in good health.

Aphids damage plants by feeding on them and by carrying diseases from plant to plant. One farmer’s field can host millions of aphids.

of justice, so it is impossible to faithfully preach the Word without mentioning how it is sadly lacking in our world today.

Unfortunately, some hear messages about justice and can only associate it with political speech.

This is not a new issue for pastors who seek to faithfully preach the Word. In this very divisive time in our country, mentioning matters of justice has become a trigger for some. The great 20th-century theologian Karl Barth counseled preachers to preach with a Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other.

Please advise me on how to do that and not sound political to some. Frankly, all I have to do is mention a current situation in a sentence in my sermon and the whole message gets branded by some as being “too political.”

Many people, whom “Keep Politics out of Church” represents, would prefer I not mention matters of societal justice at all. Is that the kind of loving kindness you suggested?! Your reader would be satisfied, but what about all the people who suffer because it serves another’s political interest? If church is just about being nice to one another and ignoring real issues, then the Gospel will have been neutered.

By the way, I don’t just preach about justice issues, but my church and I are actively seeking to make a difference where we can in the lives of others.

Preachers are called to both comfort and challenge. My guess is that if the message supported the writer’s political views, then the writer would not find it so difficult. I don’t make it a practice of railing against the government in
