Grazing sheep take care of the grass and weeds on the city of Davis’ South Fork Putah Creek Preserve back in 2012. Now UCD is putting different breeds through their paces to see who’s the champion trimmer.

as part of “an academic experiment to see if sheep can eat weeds and grass, fertilize and control pests as well as or better than using conventional landscaping methods,” campus spokeswoman Karen NikosRose said Monday in a press release.

The first clinic takes place from 5 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday at La Superior Mercados, a grocery store at 34 W. Court St. in Woodland. The county will be administering the Johnson and Johnson vaccine at this clinic. A clinic held at La Superior last week offered both the Pfizer and Johnson and Johnson vaccines “and what we saw was a 2-to-1 preference (in a small sample size of 150 people) for the Pfizer vaccine over the Johnson and

Enterprise staff writer Yolo County has four public COVID-19 vaccine clinics scheduled for this week with no appointments necessary as the supply of vaccine locally now exceeds demand. At recent county-run clinics, “hundreds of appointments went unfilled and available doses went back into freezers instead of into arms,” Yolo County Health Officer Dr. Aimee Sisson said Tuesday. “It has never been easier to get vaccinated against COVID19 in Yolo County.

Several more California counties — including Los Angeles and San Francisco — made the move to the least-restrictive yellow tier on the state’s COVID-19 blueprint this week, but Yolo County remains mired in orange. With neither the adjusted daily case rate nor the health equity quartile metric meeting the requirements of the yellow tier this week, the soonest Yolo can move to yellow is now May 19.

The Davis school board on Thursday will receive updates on the district’s facilities bond program and progress toward a return to campus. As part of the bond update, the board will consider naming the Da Vinci Charter Academy Tech Hub the “Pamela Mari Da Vinci Tech Hub.” Mari, who had a long career in the district, was the first principal of the school and took part in naming it, according to the agenda documents. “Since Ms. Mari was the person who originally facilitated the process of selecting the beloved name Leonardo Da Vinci for the school, it is befitting that the process comes full circle to honor her as the namesake for the forthcoming building, which will be transformational to the Da Vinci program that Ms. Mari started 17 years ago,” according to the agenda documents. District staff is also asking the board to appoint Amanda Cattivera and Andrew Cullen to the Citizens Bond Oversight Committee.

So this is how he’s using his time ... D E avis is a town known for many things, but among them is our penchant for holding fundraisers. We raise money for people. We raise money for animals. We raise money for plants. Sometimes we raise money in an attempt to solve a problem and other times we raise money simply to bring awareness to a problem. Without exception, of course, every fundraiser in Davis is for a worthy cause. Trust me on this. Still, you can only sell so many raffle tickets for baskets filled with local wine and smokehouse almonds. And you can only serve so much spaghetti. What you really need if you wish to raise a pile of money is star power. Bring in a speaker or a celebrity or someone to simply mingle with the paying audience who is well known, charismatic and knows how to work a crowd. Over the years, I’ve attended local fundraisers that featured the likes of Bob Hope, Bobby Riggs, Rudy of Notre Dame football fame and that famous married couple, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. Woodland once had Muhammad Ali at one of its fundraising

In other words, you can request Donald or you can request Melania, but you might not be able to request both.

banquets. Yes, Woodland. Yes, Muhammad Ali. In every case, those folks sold a boatload of tickets for whatever charity was involved. I don’t know how many of those celebrities, if any, were paid for their participation. This brings me to an offer I received online that promises to deliver to Davis the very star power I’m talking about. The offer involves a Florida couple who might be familiar to the average Davisite considering buying a ticket to your fundraiser. “Thank you for your interest in inviting Donald J. Trump or Melania Trump to participate in your event,” the message begins, sounding as if this is an “either or” deal, depending on which Trump you wish to have in attendance.

ven though I don’t remember expressing any interest in this couple, I do think there’s some potential here. On the request form you will be asked “Will media be present?” and whether other “notable attendees” are expected. It’s difficult to determine how to answer either question, but I suspect “Yes/No” in that order would be the safest course. It’s also possible to receive a “greeting” from Donald or Melania for such things as a birthday (adult) birthday (child), birthday (veteran), military retirement, wedding, wedding anniversary, condolence, new baby, graduation, Girl Scout Gold award or Eagle Scout award. I was warned that if I wish to have a greeting, I must allow six weeks, which I’m sure means they will be working up something special to fit my unique request. Like, “Happy Birthday, Bob — Don and Melania.” Wow. Can you imagine that card arriving along

with a phone call from Auntie Flo up in Portland? Why it would be the best birthday ever. “Donald J. Trump and Melania Trump enjoy hearing from the American people,” they write from Florida. “In an effort to ensure that your requests and comments are received in a timely manner, it is strongly encouraged that you submit all correspondence online. President and Mrs. Trump prefer not to receive letters, gifts, inquiries and invitations through the mail.” Fair enough, but what an opportunity for all of us. I could be wrong, but I don’t see any mention of compensation. All I can think is that the Trumps have some time on their hands and are offering this free of charge as a public service to help Make Americans Happy Again. (MAHA). I surmise that the Davis Democratic Club need not apply for the Trumps to attend their annual “Let Them Eat Beans” gathering in Central Park. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

Clarksburg felon busted on weapon charges By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer Yolo County sheriff ’s deputies are seeking gun charges against a Clarksburg man whose convicted felon status prohibits him from having firearms or ammunition. In a social media post, the Sheriff ’s Office reported dispatching deputies at about 11 p.m. Sunday to the 36000 block of Riverview Drive in Clarksburg, where witnesses reported a man firing a handgun along the Sacramento River. “The call relayed that the shooter had fired multiple rounds in an unknown direction before disappearing into the surrounding foliage,” the post said. Further information revealed the alleged shooter to be Jesus Lopez-Ramirez, who according to sheriff ’s officials is on parole for arson.

Man sought in shoe-store robbery By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer Davis police say a shoplifting incident elevated to a strong-arm robbery when the alleged thief got physical with an employee who thwarted his getaway. According to Lt. Mike Munoz, the still-unidentified suspect attracted attention at the Famous Footwear store near Target when he tried on several pairs of Nike shoes, then stuffed them into a backpack before heading for the door around 6 p.m. Sunday. An employee spotted the theft attempt and confronted the man at the door, grabbing the backpack, Munoz said. A struggle ensued, and the suspect pushed the employee down, causing minor injuries, before leaving emptyhanded. He was described as a white man in his 30s, 5-foot-9 to 6 feet tall with a medium build, his dreadlocks worn in a “man bun.” He wore black clothing and fled the scene on an older white bicycle with pink tassels on the handlebars. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Davis Police Department at 530747-5400.

A team involving sheriff ’s deputies, Woodland and West Sacramento police and a California Highway Patrol air unit established a perimeter around Lopez-Ramirez’s house, from which he reportedly fled after hearing officers’ commands to surrender and was taken into custody. Deputies reported finding a spent 9mm shell casing in the shooting area and, in a nearby barn Lopez-Ramirez is known to frequent, a 9mm pistol stashed in a barrel of chicken feed, sheriff ’s officials said. Lopez-Ramirez was booked into the Yolo County Jail on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm, felon in possession of ammunition, negligent discharge of a firearm and a parole violation.

The 2021 Yolo County Fair will not run as planned and will not be open to the public. When discussing plans for the fair, CEO Vannucci, Fair Board & staff expressed concern for public health, as well as the financial impact of hosting a fair that would adhere to current safety protocols and the lasting impacts of the long-term sustainability of the event. Although vaccination rates are improving significantly each day, California continues to fight the battle against COVID-19 including the new variants. Where we are today in this struggle makes it difficult to plan a large-scale entertainment event like the free gate Yolo County Fair, especially not knowing where we will be, or what Yolo County and the State of California will look like, in August. In addition, the important safety practices that have been put in place to protect Californians, including indoor seating capacities, live events seating capacities, proof of testing or vaccines, and other restrictions may lead to attendance that is considerably lower than previous years. The financial implications of hosting a typical Yolo County Fair with the same overhead costs as previous years, but far less revenue, could be devastating to our association. In a typical year, the Yolo County Fair’s budget is designed to break even or have a nominal profit. Holding a full fair this year would likely lead to significant financial loss. While we wish we had the ability to see the future we do not. Taking all the above into consideration CEO Vannucci, the Board of Directors and fair staff feel that the best decision is to greatly limit the traditional aspects of the Yolo County Fair. While this is a difficult decision, we feel it is the best way to protect the long-term sustainability of the Yolo County Fair, as well as the safety of those involved. The 2021 Yolo County Fair will be limited to FFA Market Animal exhibitors and their family members for a week-long event that will culminate with a Live Auction on Saturday August 21st. We fully plan on bringing back the full Yolo County Fair in 2022, with its carnival rides, the 2-night demolition derby, the rodeo, entertainment, food vendors including local beer booths, livestock shows and all the homegrown exhibits you have come to expect. Detailed plans for the FFA Market Animal Event are forthcoming on our website. Stay tuned for news on our website about a Family Event Center coming to our grounds complete with Carnival Rides & Food July 29th to August 8th, plus a Virtual Stills Showcase where you can enter your arts, crafts, sewing & photography and just maybe a Summer Rodeo.

CHP: Be safe on the motorcycle The warming weather and increasing number of vehicles traveling on California’s roadways offer a timely reminder of the importance of motorcycle safety awareness for motorcyclists and motorists alike. By recognizing May as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, the California Highway Patrol emphasizes safe riding and driving practices for everyone. “Motorcyclists who are responsible, informed and properly equipped can help reduce rider deaths and injuries,” CHP Commissioner Amanda Ray said. “Motorists are also key to reducing crashes by being aware of the dangers and challenges of motorcycle riding. Taking the time to look twice for motorcyclists can save a life.” “Motorcycle riders are more vulnerable out in the elements,” California Office of Traffic safety director Barbara Rooney said. The CHP strongly encourages all riders, new and experienced, to enroll in the California Motorcyclist Safety Program.

Finding sweet pleasure in a dry riesling

A

ll over town the fig trees are fruiting. I love the sweet, earthy smell of them. The aroma of paradise, I think — especially if you throw in the scent of lavender and rosemary bushes, wild roses, eucalyptus and cedar trees, orange blossoms and honeysuckle. Ah, Davis spring. At the peak of my plague paranoia, I irrationally feared a lonely death less than I feared a case of long COVID with a lingering lack of smell and taste. What if they never came back? This year of semi-isolation certainly heightened my gratitude for the smells and tastes that so consistently brought me pleasure during this trying time. Like a glass of fragrant riesling at the end of another same-same day. Besides, a glass of riesling (I like mine dry, “trocken”) feels like a secret pleasure given that riesling seems such an underappreciated, under-drunk wine. At least here. Not in Germany or Alsace, of course. I don’t quite understand why riesling isn’t more popular, especially given its affinity for all things spring. (Wine critics speculate that it has an undeserved reputation for being cloying and sweet and that even many dry rieslings have a deceptive nose that implies a certain sweetness. Please don’t let those misconceptions stop you.) We opened a bottle of Goldalzel 2015 Johannisberg Vogelsang the other night to drink with an asparagus and leek quiche. But before the first sip and the first

bite, I took a long inhalation of the floral (think white blossoms), tangy, stony aroma that makes riesling such a treat. The taste, also typical riesling, is of stone fruit with a beautifully acidic finish. The quiche, filled to the brim with hard-to-pair asparagus (from Fiddlers’ Green and roasted in a hot oven) — was as appreciative as I was. And its own just-baked aroma added to the meal’s delights. This particular rielsing comes from the small Goldalzel (“golden magpie”) estate — dating back to the 1500s — slightly above the River Rhine. Everything is done by hand and in the least invasive way possible. You’ll notice this wine has some age — not unusual in a riesling — but still tastes lively and fresh. Besides being delicious, riesling can be a serious bargain, too. This Goldalzel costs just $13 at the Co-op — a wonderfully layered, mineral-laced, well-balanced bottle for that price. And I’m impressed by the ultra-lightweight bottle whose carbon footprint must be half the usual 750 ml bottle. Wine buyer Chase at the Co-op must like riesling as much

as I do. He has brought in several other dry rieslings besides the Goldazel, including the 2017 Shine by Heinz Eifel — just $12 — that’s lively and fresh if less complex than the Goldetzel. Chase says the new vintage will arrive soon. And, for $16, the ever-reliable Alsatian Kuenz Bas, a longtime Kermit Lynch import that’s always welcome at my table.

F

or a bit more than that ($18) you can sample one of the most surprising rieslings I’ve tasted — the 2017 Weingut Roterfaden. A relatively new project from two young vintners who are committed to biodynamic farming and natural winemaking — very unusual in their unusual region near the town of Rosswag (not too far from Stuttgart), a secluded area of forests and hills. Winemaker Olympia Samara and her husband Hannes Hoffmann started their dream project on a tiny bit of forgotten vineyard planted by Hoffmann’s grandfather. They raise mostly lemberger but have a bit of riesling as well. The wine has a beautiful, surprisingly deep gold color, akin to an orange wine; a spicy, just slightly orange-blossomy aroma; and an herb-y, spicy, plummy taste that’s completely intriguing, endlessly complex, and very food friendly. Another source for riesling: Amy at The Pip Wine Bar/Shop in Dixon has two rieslings among her carefully chosen bottles. I’ve mentioned both of them before, one the delicious German 2019 Dönnhoff Trocken. The Dönnhoff Family dates their winemaking

enterprise back to the 18th century and they make wine the oldfashioned way, with organically grown grapes and careful stewardship of the land. This is probably the most elegant of the rieslings mentioned here; its long, ripe finish is especially impressive. At $29 it’s also the most expensive. When Amy first opened The Pip, she had only one riesling — a domestic incarnation of this cool climate grape, which does especially well in the Finger Lakes district of New York. This 2017 Ravine Riesling is, Amy said, before she brought in the Dönnhoff, “Germa- style dry riesling at its best. Which is why we don’t have a riesling from Germany on the list yet. This one is too good.” It is, indeed, a lovely wine that I have purchased many times ($19). Like the European rieslings it’s quite minerally but has perhaps a juicier taste of peach and apple, with a citrus-y, lingering finish. The Ravine Dry Riesling has been chosen as a Wine Spectator “Top 100 Wines in the World” three times in the past eight vintages, and in this week’s New York Times wine column, Asimov referred to it as “a great deal.” If you haven’t tried it, it’s an excellent place to start a riesling adventure. But beware. The smell and taste of good riesling can be addictive. — Susana Leonardi is a Davis resident; reach her at vinosusana @gmail.com. Comment on this column at www.davisenterprise. com.

VACCINE: County tries to get the word out to community From Page A1 Johnson vaccine,” said Sisson. “So we are keeping that in mind going forward, trying to have both vaccines available.” The two county-run clinics that will take place on Thursday — one in Woodland and another in Winters — which will offer only the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. The Woodland clinic will be a drive-thru from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Health and Human Services Agency at 137 N. Cottonwood, while the Winters clinic will be from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Winters Community Center, 201 Railroad Ave. The final county clinic of the week will be on Saturday at Holy Cross Church, 1321 Anna St. in West Sacramento, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This is a drive-thru vaccine clinic where both the Johnson and Johnson and Pfizer vaccines will be available. No appointment is necessary. The county is not the only vaccine provider this

week — appointments are available on MyTurn with healthcare providers and pharmacies as well. Visit MyTurn.ca.gov. For more information about county vaccine clinics, visit www.yolocounty. org/coronavirus-vaccine. Looking ahead, Sisson said the county will be shifting away from large drive-thru clinics towards those that maximize convenience. “We will move away from large vaccination clinics that are appointment-only to smaller, pop-up, noappointment-needed clinics at places where people are already going as part of their day-to-day lives,” she said. “These include grocery stores, food bank distribution sites, schools, workplaces and churches.” “We’ve also offered to vaccinate high school students and their families on school campuses,” Sisson said. “We did a vaccination clinic at Woodland High School for students as well

as family members. We had about 100 students who were vaccinated on a Friday afternoon and about 30 family members. The same day, North Valley Indian Health brought 100 vaccines to Pioneer High School, so both of the Woodland high schools have been vaccinated. “We are in conversations with other high schools in Yolo County, including Davis High School, River City High School, Winters High School, to determine if they are also interested in having vaccine clinics for students and family members and… we’re certainly happy to go to middle and junior high schools if the Pfizer vaccine is given emergency use authorization by the FDA for those who are 12 to 15,” said Sisson. “Our team is working very hard to vaccinate Yolo residents because we remain at a critical moment in the COVID pandemic. Our case rates have stopped decreasing, more infectious variants are spreading and

less than half of the population is vaccinated. “Getting vaccinated has never been easier and its available for everyone 16 and over,” she said. Meanwhile, county spokeswoman Jenny Tan on Monday reiterated the message health officials have been making for a while now, that all three authorized COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. “These vaccines were authorized only after it was found that they make it substantially less likely that you’ll get COVID-19,” Tan said. “These vaccines have undergone the most intensive safety monitoring in U.S. history, using both established and new safety monitoring systems.” “But they have other benefits as well,” she said. “In the rare case that you do get COVID-19, the vaccine may help you from getting seriously ill. “Also, getting vaccinated yourself may protect people around you, particularly people at risk for severe illness from COVID-19.”

Tan added that side effects such as a sore arm, headache, muscle pain, fever, chills and nausea may occur and they “are normal signs that your body is building immunity.” “Contact your doctor or healthcare provider if the redness or tenderness where you got the shot gets worse after 24 hours, if your side effects are worrying you or they do not seem to be going away after a few days,” she said. “If you think you might be having a severe allergic reaction after leaving the vaccination site, seek immediate medical care by calling 911.” Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that women younger than 50 be aware of the rare risk of blood clots accompanied by low platelets after receiving the Johnson and Johnson vaccine and Tan noted that the other vaccines — those from Pfizer and Moderna — are also available and have not been associated with those risks.

ORANGE: Yolo cases aren’t going down ‘Here All Along’ talk set From Page A1 Moving to yellow would allow businesses like gyms, movie theaters, museums and stadiums to operate at higher indoor capacity and allow others like bars that don’t serve meals to open for the first time in a very long time. As of Tuesday, seven counties have seen their daily new case rates decline enough to enter the yellow tier, representing 28 percent of the state’s population. But in Yolo County, case rates are not falling, two infectious variants continue to show up in local cases and less than half of the population has received any vaccine, said Dr. Aimee Sisson, the county’s health officer. The county’s adjusted case rate decreased slightly from last week — down to 2.7 from 2.9 per 100,000 residents — but “it’s still higher than the 2.4 per 100,000 seen for most of the month of April,” said Sisson, and higher than the threshold of less than 2 required for the yellow tier. Because of that, “the soonest Yolo County can move to the yellow tier

would be May 19 and only if the case rate decreases and testing positivity in the health equity quartile also declines,” said Sisson. The county health officer told the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday that “the failure of case rates to decline is likely due to the spread of more infectious viral variants in Yolo County. “Two variants of concern being closely monitored by the UC Davis Genome Center are the B.1.1.7 variant first detected in the UK and the P.1 variant first identified in Brazil. Both are more transmissible than the usual strain of coronavirus.” During the week of April 11, the genome center identified 14 cases of the UK

variant and three cases of the Brazilian variant. The following week, 11 UK variant cases were identified and six Brazilian variant cases. The genome center is only genotyping positive COVID-19 cases from testing done by Healthy Davis Together and on the UC Davis campus. “While the relatively small number of cases in Davis creates variability from week to week,” Sisson said, “a substantial number of new COVID cases in Yolo County are caused by B.1.1.7 and P.1 variants.” Yolo remains better off than some of its neighbors. Sacramento, Solano and Placer counties all remain in the red tier.

Special to The Enterprise Congregation Bet Haverim invites the community to a Zoom book discussion led by Rabbi Greg Wolfe on “Here All Along.” Author Sarah Hurwitz was a speechwriter for President and Mrs. Obama; this book is about her journey as she discovered her own story, and found meaning and a deeper connection to life along the way. Hurwitz’s findings about Judaism’s wisdom on current topics such as mindfulness, worklife balance and gratitude might surprise many. The discussion is designed to be relevant to people of all faiths.

UC Davis performs groundbreaking surgery County revises faceSpecial to The Enterprise Louie, an 8-year-old male Boston terrier, was diagnosed with Cushing’s disease by his primary veterinarian. Cushing’s disease causes a dog’s adrenal glands to produce too much cortisol, a chemical that controls many aspects of a dog’s body, including its weight, its ability to fight infections, maintain blood sugar levels, and many other vital functions. In Louie, the Cushing’s disease was caused by a tumor in his right adrenal gland. His primary veterinarians referred Louie to the Soft Tissue Surgery Service at the UC Davis veterinary hospital for surgical removal of his right adrenal gland. As a pioneer in minimally invasive procedures, UC Davis has been performing laparoscopic surgeries for many years, including adrenalectomies. Normally, these surgeries produce an on-screen two-dimensional (2D) image from a camera in the scope. Surgeons are able to navigate the animal’s body proficiently after a learning curve, however, they lose depth perception with a 2D image which may lead to surgical errors or prolong surgical time. Recently, UC Davis acquired a three-dimensional (3D) scope that greatly improves on the 2D shortcomings. With two cameras in the scope instead of one, two images are presented on-screen. When viewed with 3D glasses, the two images are fused together due to the polarization of the glasses, creating a 3D image on the monitor, helping veterinarians to better navigate their surgical field. While this technology has been used in human surgeries for several years, it is new technology for veterinary medicine. UC Davis veterinarians believe Louie’s procedure to be the first laparoscopic adrenalectomy performed on an animal utilizing 3D technology. Studies on human procedures have shown 3D surgeries to decrease surgical time and decrease

Louie’s Cushing’s disease was cured following a groundbreaking surgery at the UC Davis veterinary hospital. surgical errors, and the school’s faculty hope to see those advantages realized for their veterinary patients also. “I hope this allows us to push the envelope for different types of surgeries that we could consider performing minimally invasively,” said Louie’s surgeon, Dr. Ingrid Balsa. “I think this will also provide a stepping stone for resident training in regards to learning laparoscopic procedures, which have different instrumentation and techniques compared to traditional open surgeries. The 3D scope will remove one barrier, loss of depth perception, in learning laparoscopy.” Louie’s procedure was made possible due to the generous financial support of Mary Kariotis and the UC Davis Center for Companion Animal Health Equipment Fund that allowed the hospital to purchase the 3D laparoscopic equipment. Kariotis, a Bay

Area businesswoman and philanthropist, became interested in helping UC Davis after Dr. Philipp Mayhew and the Soft Tissue Surgery Service saved her dog with a similar surgery to remove one of his adrenal glands after a tumor was discovered. “Dr. Mayhew changed his vacation plans to accommodate my dog’s critical surgery,” said Kariotis. “It seems every veterinarian I come in contact with has been taught by and/or holds great admiration for Dr. Mayhew.” Dr. Balsa agrees, having completed her American College of Veterinary Surgeons fellowship in minimally invasive surgery in 2020 under Dr. Mayhew’s mentorship. Dr. Mayhew also played a large part in mentoring Dr. Balsa through her three-year surgical residency, completed at UC Davis in 2016. “Pets are an integral part of our families that we love as our children,” said Kariotis, expressing her deep affection for animals. “I will be forever grateful for the care we received at UC Davis, which is unsurpassed by any other veterinary clinic in a myriad of ways. I hope my gift can make similar surgeries as successful as possible and help all our pets live long lives.” The tumor on Louie’s right adrenal gland was benign, and his left adrenal gland is now performing normally after an initial steroid supplementation. So, his veterinarians consider his Cushing’s disease to be cured. His owners Aaron and Ivonne Jamison reports that Louie’s energy level is excellent, and his appetite and thirst are back to normal. The Jamisons concur with Kariotis’ assessment of animals’ roles in our lives, as well as the care provided at UC Davis. “Working with Dr. Balsa and her team was excellent right from the start,” said Aaron. “Everyone was engaged, enthusiastic, and compassionate in the way they treated Louie.”

BOARD: Construction projects moving ahead From Page A1 High school graduations will occur throughout the week of June 7 to June 11. The Davis Adult School will hold its graduation on June 7, the Davis School for Independent Study and Martin Luther King High school graduations will be on June 9, with the DSIS ceremony being held in the morning and the King ceremony in the evening. The Da Vinci Charter Academy will hold a graduation ceremony on June 10, and the Davis Senior High School ceremony will be split in two, happening on both June 10 and June 11. Summer enrichment programs listed in the presentation include a wide variety of activities for students. The activities include outdoor ceramics (for grades 7-12), robotics camp (grades 4-8), auto shop (grades 10-12) and Davis Kids Klub (grades 1-7), among many others. District staff will also discuss the return to school

in the fall for the 2021-22 school year, which the district intends to be a return to full in-person learning. Staff will also be discussing the district’s virtual learning program, which is also planned to open up with the kickoff of the next school year.

Bond program A swath of construction projects are moving forward at various district schools, funded by the $150 million facilities bond Measure M, which voters passed in 2018, and an additional $75 million from other sources. The projects include multipurpose rooms at four elementary schools, an early learning center at the Korematsu Elementary School campus, Emerson and Da Vinci Junior High science labs, the Da Vinci Tech Hub, the Davis Senior High School Aquatic Center and the DHS STEM building.

The presentation also includes an update on the district’s Solar Master Plan and Tree Master Plan. The solar plan is necessary because the district is planning to install solar energy projects at nearly all sites over the next 12 to 18 months, according to the

presentation. And the tree plan has involved collecting a detailed tree inventory and will involve developing a new tree palette and general landscaping plan on school campuses. Open session of the school board meeting is scheduled to take place at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. The meeting is viewable on Davis cable television Channel 17 and the school district website, http:// djusd.tv/. A recording of the meeting will be available later on. Though the board will be meeting inperson, only district staff and the board members will be allowed in the room because of current COVID19 safety measures. Public comments can be submitted by calling the district’s voicemail-based system after noon on the day of the meeting, at (530) 7575344. — Reach Edward Booth at edward.booth@ mcnaughton.media.

University Retirement Community since 2000, Marian was known for FRAZIER her lovely and abundant rose garden. It gave her great pleasure to share the blooms with friends and with patients in the skilled nursing and special care units. Marian loved nothing better than tending to her family, particularly spending time with her grandchildren, but a close second was having a cat or a dog on her lap! She was preceded in death by her parents, George J. and Helen M. Harrison, and her husband of 54 years, Norman. She is survived by two daughters, Jean Gravning and her husband, Jon, of Polson, Mont., and Barbara Holderreed and her husband, Glenn, of Davis; and two grandchildren, Stephanie Nicholson and her

husband, Mac, of Seattle and Michael Holderreed of Auburn, Ala. She is also survived by one greatgrandson, 3-month old Silas Nicholson, nieces Marge Griffin and June Bebensee (Dennis), and one nephew, Dan Frazier (Sandy), plus the spouses of nephews who predeceased her, Anaris Frazier (Jim) and Ann Frazier (Si). The family appreciates the healthcare providers and staff at the University Retirement Community in Davis for their attentive care and oversight of Marian for the past 20 years, particularly those in the assisted-living, healthcare and activities units most recently. We further express our heartfelt gratitude to her caregiver Lucretia for her excellent care, extraordinary good humor and comforting companionship. We are also very grateful to Yolo Hospice for their end-of-life assistance. A memorial/celebration of life will take place at a later date.

All the construction projects are expected to be finished and ready for use within the next few years. The district anticipates that all four elementary school multipurpose rooms will be completed and ready in the summer next year. According to the presentation, the Da Vinci Tech Hub will be ready at around the same time, in the fall of 2022. The Korematsu earlylearning center and the Emerson and Da Vinci science labs are expected to be ready this fall, for the start of the next school year. And the two Davis High projects, the aquatics center and the STEM building, are anticipated to be ready in 2023.

covering guidance

By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer Fully vaccinated people in Yolo County are no longer required to wear face coverings outdoors except when attending crowded events where physical distancing is not possible. The state Department of Public Health updated its guidance on face coverings on Monday and the county followed suit, with both implementing new recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC also said last week that during small, outdoor gatherings, fully vaccinated individuals do not need to wear face coverings while unvaccinated individuals do. Everybody is required to wear face coverings indoors with a few exceptions. For indoor settings outside of one's own home, including on public transportation, face coverings continue to be required regardless of vaccination status, except in the following situations: n While visiting with other fully vaccinated people indoors or outdoors; n While visiting with unvaccinated individuals (including children) from a single household with

members who are at low risk for severe COVID-19 disease indoors or out. Other exemptions for those who are vaccinated or not include: n While in a car alone or solely with members of your own household, n While working alone in a closed office or room, n While obtaining a medical or cosmetic services involving the nose or face for which temporary removal of the face covering is necessary to perform the service, n While working and wearing respiratory protection Children younger than 2 years old are not required to wear face coverings, nor are individuals with a medical condition, mental health condition or disability that prevents wearing a face covering. Persons who are hearing impaired or those communicating with a person who is hearing impaired, where the ability to see the mouth is essential for communication, are also exempted from the face-covering requirement. — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@ davisenterprise.net.

Obituary Marian Elizabeth Harrison Frazier Dec. 15, 1922— April 17, 2021

Marian Elizabeth Harrison Frazier died peacefully April 17, 2021. Born on Dec. 15, 1922, she was 98. Marian’s early years were spent in the Sacaton area outside of Phoenix, Ariz. At the age of 9, she and her parents moved to Shafter, California. After graduating from Shafter High School in 1939, she attended her beloved Pomona College and received a bachelor's degree in biology in 1943. Following college and a stint clerking for the local rationing board during World War II, she made her way to Berkeley, where she was employed at UC Berkeley in the nematology department. It was there that mutual friends introduced her to her future husband, Norman Walter Frazier. Marian and Norm were married in October 1946 at her parents’ home and they spent their first year near

Visalia, where Norm was working at a UC research station. They returned to Berkeley where they settled and raised two daughters. Norm was with the entomology department at UC Berkeley until his retirement. Marian was primarily a homemaker, but she also worked for UC Berkeley during the 1960s. A highlight for the family was a year’s sabbatical in England during 1955-56. Two years after her husband’s retirement in 1974, they moved to Davis. Marian became involved in the Sacramento Braille Transcribers, and was a member for over 30 years, serving as president between 1995 nd 1997. She and Norm were members of the Davis Community Church, the Bohart Museum and the Senior Center, and were Friends of the Davis Arboretum. A resident of the

To honor Marian’s memory, the family would be very appreciative of donations to any of the following: The Bohart Museum (either “Bohart Museum Society” or “UC Regents”) and sent to Lynn Kimsey, Bohart Museum of Entomology, c/o Department of Entomology & Nematology, University of California, Davis, One Shields Ave., Davis, CA 95616; the

California expected to have a critically dry year By Renee Xiang HUB Staff California officials are projecting 2021 to be a critically dry year, following consecutive months of below-average snowpack and rainfall. Recent snow surveys conducted by the California Department of Water Resources found a statewide snow water equivalent of 16.5 inches — just 59 percent of what it normally is at the start of April, when snow levels have historically been the highest. “These predictions are very robust at this point,” said Dr. Peter Hartsough from the department of land, air and water resources at UC Davis. “California gets the majority of its snow pack from three to four storms, and we just didn’t get enough storms this year.” Though researchers are still working to confirm a connection between the trend and climate change, they have identified other relevant factors such as storm temperatures and reservoir levels. Hartsough, who specializes in ecohydrology research, uses snowpack measurements to predict how much water will be available in California after the wet season is over. “(We) depend on storing water in the snowpack, and it then being available as the snow melts in the summer. In years where we get less snow, or years where it melts sooner, we don’t have enough storage capacity, and this leads to water shortages and overreliance on groundwater,” he said.

h

In years where local canals and rivers cannot supply as much water for irrigation, there is a greater dependence on water that is pumped from wells. Dr. Daniel Sumner, a UCD professor in the department of agricultural and resource economics, says that this increased use of groundwater has significant consequences for the environment and the economy. “We’ve been doing this for long enough that now the wells are getting tougher and tougher to get the water from. So we’re drilling wells deeper and deeper, and there’s a lot of water down there, but it’s getting harder to get it, and that makes it more expensive. And so this is where the economics comes in,” Sumner said. Addressing issues of environmental protection while also keeping a healthy economy can be a difficult balance to maintain. According to the Groundwater Foundation, sustained groundwater pumping can lead to land subsidence, a loss of support below ground which causes soil collapse. In coastal regions, groundwater depletion can also cause saltwater to move inland and upward and contaminate the water supply. The most direct method of combating these negative effects is by placing regulations and higher prices on groundwater. As Sumner points out, however, these policy prescriptions could come at the cost of a healthy financial state. Davis High agriculture teacher Alexander Hess believes that more people who specialize in

environmental and economic stability are needed to solve this issue. “How do you maintain (a healthy economy) and also not lose all the precious environmental aspects? What are the levers that trigger that balance? I think people who understand all of the issues are needed, because they’re going to be the advisers that policymakers are going to call upon,” he said. California’s recent period of subaverage precipitation and projections of a dry season are reminiscent of the four-year drought which gripped the state from 2012 to 2016. In an April 1 report detailing the findings of its fourth snow survey, the DWR wrote, “California is better prepared for drought than in the past. Following the 2012-2016 drought, DWR enacted many programs focused on managing the state’s water through a strategic, integrated approach with a strong emphasis on water use efficiency and conservation.” As an educator, Hess is also optimistic about the future of water conservation in agriculture. “We have a lot of wonderful, passionate students that take on these topics, that go deep and share with others what they’re finding. I see them every day,” he said. “When my daughter has her kids at Davis High, I hope we’ll have a comprehensive water storage and delivery system in California that makes sense for the environment for our cities and for our agriculture.”

Recent weather surveys have found water levels from local reservoirs to be significantly lower than that of an average year of rainfall and snowpack, which may affect area agriculture.

Davis parents work to provide a safe, accessible senior ball By Dahlia Kraus

emergency that takes place during that time,” Haws said. “Our goal is to have a safe, fun event for everybody.”

HUB Staff The Enchanted Forest Senior Ball, a night of dinner and dancing for seniors from Davis High, DaVinci, DSIS and King is occurring on Saturday, May 22, from 7 to 11 p.m. Instead of a typical schoolorganized prom, a subcommittee of the DHS Parent Teacher Association called Supporting Our Seniors is sponsoring the dance. Davis Joint Unified School District is not involved with or resposible for the event. Sue Hussey, chair of the Senior Ball, is excited for the seniors to experience a fun event and emphasizes that “as a committee, we’ve been working for months to ensure we follow all COVID regulations and keep our seniors safe.” DHS senior Henri Schulz likes the normalcy of having this one last dance. “Prom is one of those traditions that everyone kind of has to do in high school, and especially with us not being able to do anything for the past year,” Schulz said. The event will take place at Heringer Estates, a family-owned vineyard in Clarksburg. Wendy Haws, chair of the decorations committee, is extremely thankful for the Heringer family’s generosity. “They’re offering (the Heringer Estates venue) free of charge to us,” Haws said. “That’s an amazing gift.” Grace Heringer, a DHS senior, and her family are happy to help. “We just really want to support the seniors, and we are glad and hopeful that they can have this fun event,” said Sarah Heringer, Grace’s mom. The outdoor venue instead of a

Seniors are getting involved as well. DHS senior class president Lyah Fitzpatrick is coordinating with SOS. DHS senior Alex Zurborg is running a dance proposal competition and Instagram account @dhsproposals and DHS senior Georgia Postema started a prom dress Instagram account @dhs.promdresses2021. And seniors like Schulz are upholding the spring tradition of promposals. “Prom? It only takes tulips to say yes,” read Schulz’s dance proposal poster. His girlfriend accepted the proposal — along with a bouquet of yellow tulips — with a smile.

Following CDC guidelines, “we divided the space into two zones so that we can accommodate up to 600 people, because we can have 300 people maximum in an outdoor event,” Haws said.

Tables will be spread across both zones, and the Senior Ball committee will work with seniors to create a seating chart for the event. Hannibal’s is catering dinner, with four gourmet, boxed meal options. The DJ will be in the middle of the two zones.

Seniors can coordinate with friends to sign up for the same zone when they buy their ticket, which must be purchased by May

Devils shut out Sheldon By Lev Farris Goldenberg Enterprise staff writer Davis High baseball received yet another stellar pitching performance on Tuesday as the Blue Devils shut out Sheldon, 6-0, at home. This time it was staff ace Luke Carrell who spun six innings and punched out seven Huskies while allowing just two hits. “I think our pitching has given us an opportunity to win every single game this year, and you can’t ask for anything more than that,” said DHS skipper Ethan Guevin. “Luke at the top of the rotation has really been the tone-setter, and every time he pitches he gives six, seven innings a game and we’re right there.” The Devils jumped Sheldon starter Josh Turner with a five-run first-inning rally. Griffin Shorts led off the frame with a double, and Jordan Painter, Rockwell Lybbert, and Gizaw Baker followed with walks. Baker’s walk gave DHS

the Eagles — who stand at 9-1 in the Delta — both came by only one run. It has been the pitching that has kept them close in those tight losses. After Carrell’s gem on Tuesday, Dante Romero entered in relief to strand the bases loaded in the seventh inning. Davis will look for their first series win on Thursday at 4 p.m. as they visit Sheldon (4-16, 0-10) on the road. Notes: After suiting up for the Detroit Tigers’ alternate training site team the last several weeks in Toledo, Ohio, DHS alum Ryan Kreidler was assigned to the Erie Seawolves (AA) last Friday. The No. 25 prospect for the Tigers, Kreidler was a fourth-round selection in 2019. The 23-year old infielder has made a splash this spring, with his batting skills drawing praise from the Detroit Free Press and Toledo Blade.

Gov. deserves disdain, not a recall

Reverse T Trump-era water rules By Caty Wagner and Brandon Dawson Special to CalMatters

O

n the way out the door, the Trump administration committed many environmental and financial scandals. One can cost low-income water users while lining the pockets of one of California’s largest and most powerful water districts. The focus of one scandal was the failure of the Trump administration to collect required fish and wildlife mitigation costs set out in the Central Valley Project Improvement Act. Passed by Congress in 1992, it established new financing rules. First, it made environmental restoration a reimbursable purpose of the CVP. Second, it mandated a comprehensive suite of environmental restoration actions. Third, it required the water contractors, not the taxpayers, to pay for restoration as their cost of doing business. Among other things, the law included a fishery restoration mandate for the Hoopa Tribe, whose fishery on the Trinity River had been nearly decimated by irrigators’ exports and other water diversions. It also included mitigations for fishery resources and wildlife refuges throughout the Central Valley. Significantly, the law specified that water contractors, not taxpayers, would pay for restoration and maintenance of the fishery and wildlife refuge damages. After a very long fight leading up to 1992, the Hoopa, fishing groups and conservationists thought we had won. Then President Donald Trump entered the picture. He brought into his administration a raft of appointees and advisers who were focused on derailing anything that required big water users to follow the spirit and content of the law. These folks, led by then Secretary of Interior David Bernhardt, rewrote the Central Valley Project water financing rules to override environmental protections guaranteed by the law.

T

hese new rules, through new water contracts, would shift millions of dollars in environmental restoration costs from water contractors to U.S. taxpayers. For example, roughly twice the amount of water used by Los Angeles in a year would be allocated to Westlands Water District — Bernhardt’s old client. That water district is now free to charge exorbitant water rates to low-income communities within their reach, including El Porvenir and Cantua Creek. If the rules are allowed to stand, Westlands will be allowed to charge these residents for water that they cannot safely use to bathe in or drink. Meanwhile, Westlands will pocket millions in taxpayer subsidies. Two elected officials can put an end to this Westlands deal: Gov. Gavin Newsom and President Joe Biden. The Biden administration has the ability to roll back the Trump administration abuses of water law. It can do that by rescinding the bad rules and bad water contracts. Then the president can call on his new Secretary of Interior Deb Haaland to collect the more than $400 million dollars owed by water contractors to the taxpayers to abide by the law’s requirements. The Newsom administration has the ability to press the Biden administration to take these important steps. The president will want some signal from the recallthreatened governor that such a move is welcome. Will Newsom have the will to act? So far, the governor has been reluctant to challenge Westlands’ ambition. But this time, it’s clear that Californians will lose if the rules from the Trump administration stand. Gov. Newsom, we’re looking to you to help right this wrong. — Caty Wagner is the Southern California Water Organizer for Sierra Club California, caty.wagner@sierraclub.org. Brandon Dawson is the acting director of Sierra Club California, brandon.dawson@ sierraclub.org. They wrote this for CalMatters, a public interest journalism venture committed to explaining how California’s Capitol works and why it matters.

here is a case to be made against Gavin Newsom. We need better from our governor. Yet, I am not in favor of the recall. When the matter comes before us later this year, I will vote no. I oppose the populist proposition of recalling any elected official. I’d like to purge that power from our constitution. Recall votes don’t strengthen representative democracy. Having the recall does not make politicians better at their jobs. The threat of recall simply gives a minority the power to sow chaos in the hopes of overturning a prior election. More than 7.7 million voters checked Gavin Newsom’s name for governor in 2018. It took just 1.5 million signatures to trigger a recall election in an effort to toss out the 2018 result. Elected offices in California have limited terms. These are not lifetime positions. If someone doesn’t do a good job, the voters should choose someone else at the next scheduled election. If a governor, attorney general or other person elected statewide is guilty of malfeasance, the state legislature has the right under Article IV, Section 18 to impeach, try and remove the guilty party. If an elected official were charged with a serious crime, I would favor a law that automatically removes that person from office upon conviction. Of course, Gov. Newsom has not been charged with any crime at all. Instead, a retired Yolo County deputy sheriff named Orrin Heatlie — whose recall petition was officially determined last week to have enough signatures — submitted a list of grievances against Mr. Newsom.

A

ccording to CalMatters columnist Dan Walters, “The agency had a contract with a firm, Pondera Solutions, that had successfully used publicly available data to flag potentially fraudulent claims, but canceled it when federal funds for the fraud-prevention program expired.” When it comes to his response to the COVID pandemic, Newsom’s record is mixed. He rightly deserves credit for acting quickly and executing a stay-at-home order on March 19, 2020. But he waited another three months before he issued an order that said Californians “must wear face coverings” inside businesses, while on public transit

and so on. Had Mr. Newsom followed the science and shown better leadership on COVID, he would have ordered face coverings months earlier. That would have saved thousands of lives and millions of dollars. Additionally, Newsom and his Health and Human Services Secretary, Mark Ghaly, disregarded science when the governor later banned outdoor dining in regions where ICU capacity was below 15 percent. After repeatedly stating he was following science, Dr. Ghaly finally admitted he had no evidence that outdoor dining — which was keeping thousands of independent restaurants from bankruptcy — was a source of infections. In fact, given that COVIDspread was happening indoors in gatherings in private homes, closing outdoor facilities — where social distancing was enforced by restaurateurs — made matters worse. Newsom deserves condemnation for not following science. It’s also likely that Gavin Newsom’s vaccination management has been unduly influenced by money. According to California Healthline, Blue Shield of California has given “nearly $23 million to Newsom’s campaigns and special causes.” In return, the governor gave Blue Shield a no-bid contract to run the state’s vaccine delivery system. Since then, the estimated cost of vaccine delivery has risen by $2.1 billion, according to the state Department of Finance. If Californians are unhappy with Mr. Newsom, they should not re-elect him in 2022. But the voters should not reverse the 2018 election. — Rich Rifkin is a Davis resident; his column is published every other week. Reach him at Lxartist@yahoo.com.

Bretton Woods Measure L ballot language for the West Davis Active Adult Community (Bretton Woods) read as follows: (the city needs) “an adequate housing supply to meet internal city needs ... 90% of the home sales will be limited to Davis-connected buyers.” The city itself said this of the project: “The project proponent has elected to develop a ‘Davis-Based Buyers Program’ that would restrict sale of 90% of the forsale residential units to households that include a Davis resident, family of a Davis resident, Davis employee, student or graduate of Davis schools, or similar connection. The Development Agreement requires the developer to develop requirements and procedures for the program that ensure that it is consistent with all applicable fair housing laws. The developer is still in the process of preparing program criteria, which must be submitted to the city prior to the issuance of any building permits for the project.” The developer has now reneged on that promise. The plan is rewritten so anyone who has a marital status, or does/doesn’t have a family, or has a sexual orientation, or race, or gender or some views on religion — doesn’t need a connection to Davis! The city refuses to prevent the evisceration of this program. The Election Code Sec. 9051(c) requires that a ballot measure’s title and summary “give a true and impartial statement of the purpose of the measure.” As a citizen, how can I trust what a developer or city says in a Measure R vote, if a) a developer can fail to honor what was promised in ballot language without consequences, b) the city can claim they are unable to do anything about the deception, despite previous claims to the contrary? The result of this will be twofold: 1) antigrowthers will have the ammunition necessary to discourage development; 2) citizens are unlikely to vote for another Measure R project. This issue is much larger than just

Mr. Heatlie states, “Governor Newsom has implemented laws which are detrimental to the citizens of this state and our way of life. Laws he endorsed favor foreign nationals, in our country illegally, over that of our own citizens.” Keep in mind that Newsom, who was elected with 61.9 percent of the vote, does not make laws. Those laws that rightwing Republicans abhor were approved by large majorities of the state Assembly and Senate. If the voters of California believed the laws Gov. Newsom signed were “detrimental to our way of life,” they wouldn’t elect and re-elect the legislators who sent those bills to the governor. Mr. Heatlie continues: “People in this state suffer the highest taxes in the nation, the highest homelessness rates and the lowest quality of life as a result.” These are fair points to debate in next year’s elections for the state legislature and governor. They are not examples of malfeasance or actual reasons to overturn our last gubernatorial election. Heatlie continues with complaints about Mr. Newsom’s policies with regard to illegal immigration, the death penalty, water use, taxes and parental rights. Again, these are policy disputes. They do not justify tossing out a governor who won almost 62 percent of the vote. Nonetheless, Gavin Newsom has given Californians

legitimate reasons to want a new governor. For example, his record when it comes to the scandal with the Employment Development Department is indefensible. Mr. Newsom’s unemployment agency sent out at least $11.4 billion, and as much as $31 billion, in fraudulent benefits. Gavin Newsom dropped the ball when “the federal government warned the state at least three times in the early months of the pandemic to beef up its fraud protections,” according to the Associated Press. “In May (2019), the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of the Inspector General warned California its surge of 2.9 million claims in March and April were likely tainted by at least $1.2 billion in fraud.” Mr. Newsom ultimately replaced his pathetic EDD director. But Newsom failed to implement safeguards that competent governors across the country put in place to prevent this theft of funds.

Early in our family’s experience in the Davis schools, we encountered a massive funding crisis. I remember how the Davis Schools Foundation stepped up to help fill the void. I was so grateful for the DSF leadership and how the community rallied in support. I knew then, that if I had the ability, I would always be a donor to DSF. I invite you to do the same by supporting DSF on Thursday, May 6, the Big Day of Giving. Finding the positives these days can be a bit challenging. But just as in other times of crisis, I have been amazed to see our community come together to help each other through. I am awed by grand developments like the Davis-UC Davis partnership, Healthy Davis together, providing universal testing for COVID-19 as well as smaller, but still significant gestures like my daughter’s Spanish teacher leaving a small gift and note at her door during the lowest weeks in the fall. As we emerge and transition back to the

world we know, there will be new challenges, especially for our children and those responsible for their formal education. Our children will need help processing the many losses and relearning to navigate relationships, among many other things. And it’s not just the pandemic, the world has changed in other ways over the last year and our kids may also need help learning to live in and support a more inclusive social climate as well. Whether it’s to help see us through the next funding crisis or fill the gaps in what the official school budget can provide, DSF plays a vital role. DSF provides for enhanced resources and learning opportunities to help with diversity, equity and inclusion or social-emotional well-being. One of the many benefits of having a foundation like DSF supporting our schools is that it can provide more flexible funding to respond to emergent needs that the district could not possibly have anticipated when setting budgets months in advance. If you are in a position to help, please give to the Davis Schools Foundation through the Big Day of Giving by May 6 at https://www.bigdayofgiving.org/davis schoolsfoundation or directly on our website at www.davisschoolsfoundation.org.

Nature and the climate crisis

T

he world has changed since I was a kid. Well, duh, you might reasonably respond. But bear with me. I’m not talking just about the landscape, about how the Nut Tree was the only thing on the highway between the Bay Area and Sacramento, nor how there was no freeway through Sacramento and one had to follow surface streets. Nor was there an I-5 for my family to take in our drive from our home in the Bay Area to visit and vacation with our relatives in Bellevue on the shores of Lake Washington. Bellevue/Redmond back then was a general store and a post office. Microsoft has changed that. Our real destination, though, for ourselves and our relatives was farther north, at the end of a long ride on a ferry, Roche Harbor on San Juan Island, where small cabins leftover from the workers at the nearby defunct lime works were available for $30 a month. While our parents mostly sat around and gabbed, they got me and my cousin out from under their feet by renting us a small boat with an outboard engine. We weren’t allowed to go too far, but we did occasionally motor on over to one of the two small islands just outside the harbor, and spent the day fishing and the night pretending we were Tom Sawyer. The point of relating my journey is not to relive a time past, it’s rather to explain that the infrastructure of our lives has grown dense as population increased, and as a corollary, something that was common and available for kids back then is closer to nonexistent today. Outdoor, mostly unsupervised play in a natural environment has largely disappeared. Why is this important? A friend sent me a book to read: “Last Child in the Woods.” It’s a 350-page deep dive into the effective loss of kids having the opportunity to go out and play in the forest, hunt for bugs down by the creek, trap lizards in a jar, smell the flowers and learn the names of birds and their seasons, and come home dirty but infused with a sense of creativity, imagination and adventure. I don’t feel comfortable generalizing my own experience into a massive cultural trend, but I know that for me, the adventures I had on San Juan Island, and similar freedom to explore creeks and fields even while not on vacation, was where my love of nature was born. It was a first step through a door that would eventfully lead to wanting to protect it, to gladly taking on the label of “environmentalist.” My friend was embroiled in a dispute with some neighbors. His family constructed a treehouse for the kids during the pandemic. It’s not your basic backyard treehouse. It’s pretty substantial. It faces an agricultural field, with no homes nearby. It’s in what I would consider to be a

small forest, the kind where kids imaginations and play could freely roam. The neighbors want it taken down. I don’t know their issues or concerns, but at least from a distance, it seems like such a shame to remove something I would have loved as a kid. There are many doors that provide access to an appreciation of nature. It can be a small garden in the backyard, a visit to a farm, a rafting trip, hiking in the mountains, learning to photograph or draw plants and animals, learning to fish or hunt. Over the last several years, there has been an increasing awareness that the climate crisis and the environmental crisis are inextricably linked — joined at the hip. Scientists and environmentalists have united behind a “Campaign for Nature” “to protect 30 percent of the Earth’s total surface (land and sea) from human exploitation by the year 2030.

A

recent article from World Politics Review sums it up: “Over the past two years, an extraordinary global campaign has emerged to protect 30 percent of the Earth’s total surface from human exploitation by 2030. The members of the so-called 30x30 coalition, which now includes scores of governments, understand that climate change is only one-half of the planet’s environmental crisis. The Paris Agreement, while imperative to curb greenhouse gas emissions, will do little by itself to save the planet’s collapsing biodiversity or preserve the massive ecosystems upon which humanity depends — and which we are fast degrading.” 30x30 is a catchy slogan and has gained people’s attention, but there are at least two huge challenges to turn the slogan into reality. One is the policy level, garnering public and political support from nations to acknowledge the crisis and agree on objectives. This is a tough mountain to climb but a mere hill compared to the Mt. Everest of getting agreement on which lands, whose waters, what ecosystems to protect and who compensates who and how much for losses of farmland or ocean resources. This is where “The Last Child in the Woods” comes in. The next and future generations are going to have to answer these and other questions, and we can only hope that they approach that task with not only knowledge of but also experience with nature and wildness. — John Mott-Smith is a resident of Davis.
