With demand for the COVID-19 vaccine high among Yolo County’s newly eligible 12- to 15-year-olds, the county continues to add clinics to the calendar. Two upcoming clinics in Davis and one in West Sacramento will offer the Pfizer vaccine for everyone 12 and up. The Davis clinics — open to all Yolo County students — will take place at Harper Junior High School, with a drive-thru clinic on Sunday and a walk-up clinic on Tuesday. The Sunday clinic was scheduled “due to overwhelming demand” after the Tuesday clinic was announced, according to Davis Joint Unified School District Superintendent John Bowes. “Parents and students are encouraged to come on Sunday even if already signed up for Tuesday,” Bowes posted on Facebook earlier this week. Yolo County Health

Officer Dr. Aimee Sisson echoed Bowes’ comments on Thursday, saying, “we have seen tremendous demand among our high school and middle school students for this vaccine, such that we’ve added an additional clinic on Sunday as well as schoolbased clinics ... at every district in the county, either being run by Yolo County or by a partner such as Healthy Davis Together or Winters Healthcare. “So it is really a collaborative effort to quickly get our 12- to 15-year-olds vaccinated,” Sisson said. ———— Sunday’s clinic will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 4000 E Covell Blvd., with the second-dose clinic scheduled for the same time and place on Sunday, June 6. Appointments can be made at MyTurn.ca.gov but are not necessary. The Tuesday clinic will be from 2 to 6 p.m. (in the Harper gym) with the second-dose clinic scheduled for June 8. No

The spring’s first graduation ceremonies at UC Davis are scheduled to begin this week. As in previous years, graduate students will have their own ceremonies, organized by the graduate schools, over the next few weeks, followed by a large commencement for undergraduates in June. For the first time during the pandemic, several in-person graduation events are scheduled, Chancellor Gary S. May announced last month. “We must continue to be vigilant and cautious,” May said, “but I hope

these commencement events will provide a small relief and prove that the light at the end of the tunnel is indeed getting brighter.” Graduates from the UC Davis School of Law will be the first to celebrate with in-person photos at King Hall on Friday, May 14, followed by a virtual commencement at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 15. The ceremony will feature California Attorney General Rob Bonta and other speakers, including Chancellor May, School of Law Dean Kevin Johnson, Professor Jasmine E. Harris and student

Briefly Kayaker rescued from creek A woman was rescued from the swift currents of Putah Creek on Wednesday following a boating accident. According to reports, the woman became trapped in the middle of the creek near Canyon Creek Resort near Lake Berryessa when the fast-moving creek threw her from her kayak at about 12:30 p.m. Video from the rescue scene shows her clinging to the branches of a fallen tree while awaiting help. The Winters Fire Department and Napa County California Highway Patrol helicopter crew joined efforts to perform the rescue, with firefighters assisting her over the water until the air unit lifted her to safety. Other assisting agencies included the Yolo and Solano County sheriff ’s offices, UC Davis, Dixon and Yocha Dehe fire departments, Vacaville Fire Department and Fire Protection District and AMR ambulance service.

Not what you’d call a tsunami of votes

“V

ote on stormwater fee will go ahead,” said the front-page headline in last Friday’s Davis Enterprise. “Oh boy, an election,” I thought to myself when I read those sweet words. Something to spice up the early summer that is upon us. Newspaper ads pro and con to help boost my seven-figure salary with the floating decimal point. Hostile letters to the editor to fuel debate. An angry op-ed or two. I can hardly contain my glee. “The city will proceed with a vote by property owners on whether to increase stormwater fees to pay for system upgrades and improvements,” said the opening paragraph of Anne Ternus-Bellamy’s story. “The increased fee would be based on property size, with smaller single-family homes paying about $10 per month and the largest residences closer to $20. The average medium-sized residential property would see its monthly fee increase from $6 to $13,” the story goes on. That works out to just under 23 cents a day, although it does spike

astronomically to a full quarter in February. This will no doubt lead to emails claiming the city is trying to “more than double our already outrageous fees,” even if the average Davisite has absolutely no idea what a stormwater fee is based on or what a comparable stormwater fee in Yuma, Arizona might be. Yolo County Republicans will, of course, wait until they see what sort of position the Yolo County Democrats take, and then urge the opposite. Or vice versa. I’m certain both can make this thing a partisan issue. Democrats will argue that increased stormwater fees will create green jobs and lead to

carbon neutrality. Republicans will argue that increased stormwater fees will lead to increased storms that will cause Putah Creek to overflow its banks and lead to unemployment numbers the likes of which we haven’t seen since the Great Depression. Socialism will quickly follow. “Ballots will be mailed to owners of 16,476 parcels in the city later this month, due back to the city clerk by June 25.”

I

magine an election where the cost of printing, mailing and tabulating a ballot, not to mention the postage to return the ballot, will be more than the amount of money the city is seeking. Can’t we just send everyone an email and have them respond online for free? “The City Council will hold a hearing — tentatively scheduled for July 6 — to tally the votes.” Now that should be something. I’m not sure how long it will take to open and count 16,476 ballots, but I’m certain our esteemed elected officials will

suffer innumerable paper cuts on the tips of their fingers from tearing open all those envelopes. “All of this follows a public hearing on Tuesday night where the effort would have been quashed altogether had some 8,240 written protests been submitted against the fee hike.” Yep, that’s the law, at least when it comes to stormwater fees. I wonder if we can use the same process with the Gavin Newsom recall election. “Just 18 were received by the close of the hearing, according to the city clerk,” who apparently found counting to 18 much easier than counting to 16,476. “The process for increasing fees is outlined in Proposition 218, the “Right to Vote on Taxes’ initiative passed by California voters in 1996.” I’ll spare you the details, but suffice it to say, the law is being followed to the letter here. “City staff noted that the ballot process is not an election.” Could have fooled me. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

Vaccinated receive conflicting advice on testing By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer Yolo County and Healthy Davis Together appear to be at odds over whether fully vaccinated individuals should continue to get regularly tested for COVID-19. During a Davis City Council meeting last week, Healthy Davis Together officials urged residents to continue to get tested even after being vaccinated, citing breakthrough cases of fully vaccinated individuals who have tested positive. But Yolo County Health Officer Dr. Aimee Sisson said Thursday she discourages routine testing of people who are fully vaccinated and have no COVID symptoms, in part because of the possibility of false positives that lead to “unnecessary isolation and quarantine.”

Speaking during a meeting of the Yolo Health Council, Sisson said, “there are maybe different groups who are sharing different testing messages, but the county’s testing message has been that when you are fully vaccinated, so at least two weeks after your final dose… you no longer need to be tested as long as you’re asymptomatic.” People who are unvaccinated, not fully vaccinated or vaccinated with symptoms do need to be tested, Sisson said. Sisson was responding to a question by Health Council member Nicki King, who said routine testing of vaccinated individuals “doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.” “UC Davis seems to be rabid about this,” said King.

“In order to go on campus, you’ve got to be tested, even if you show them a fully vaccinated card. And they are the ones who are on TV telling people to still get tested after vaccination.” Officials from Healthy Davis Together — which is a partnership between the city of Davis and UC Davis — have indeed been spreading that message. Speaking to the City Council last Tuesday, Ken Burtis, chief executive officer of Healthy Davis Together, expressed concern about the decline in testing in the community. Healthy Davis Together offers free, saliva-based testing at four locations for anyone who lives or works in Davis, with testing available daily. This is in addition to testing on

school campuses. Since that asymptomatic testing began in the fall, Healthy Davis Together has urged residents to get tested at least weekly. But since March, community testing has declined. “We know that some people have come to the conclusion that once they’re vaccinated, they no longer need to be tested,” Burtis said. However, “we don’t think that’s necessarily the right thing to do at this point.” It is not clear that someone who is vaccinated cannot carry the virus and transmit it to others, Burtis explained. “We know for a fact that we have just under 10 cases of vaccinated people in Davis who nonetheless showed up as positives in

our testing,” he said. “So it is possible to be both vaccinated and acquire the infection. The county’s position, as explained by Sisson on Thursday, is the same as that of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which says fully vaccinated individuals can refrain from routine screening testing even following a known exposure unless they are residents or employees of a correctional or detention facility or a homeless shelter. Meanwhile, the UC Davis policy that advises weekly testing is currently under review, according to Health Council member Margaret Trout, who is executive director of student health and counseling at UC Davis.

Fire triggers investigation UCD apartment burglary victim scares off intruders By Lauren Keene

Enterprise staff writer

n Secure all doors and windows

Enterprise staff writer UC Davis police issued a crime alert this week following the break-in of an occupied apartment. The alert said at least two male suspects used an unsecured window to enter the vacant bedroom of a groundfloor unit at the Solstice Apartments, 2035 Jade St., shortly after 7 a.m. Wednesday. “Once inside the apartment, the suspects attempted to force open the locked bedroom door to an occupied bedroom,” police said. “The resident inside the bedroom was able to scare off the intruders and called 911. The suspects jammed the resident’s door, locking him inside of his room, as they fled the apartment.” No suspect descriptions were available, as they were only heard and not seen. Anyone with information is asked to contact the UCD Police Department at 530-752-1727. Meanwhile, police offer the following safety tips:

when you leave, or when you go to sleep for the night. n Close window blinds to prevent potential intruders from looking inside. n Always be alert to your surroundings. n Be aware of locations and situations that will make you vulnerable to crime, such as alleys and dark parking lots. n Avoid people and situations that make you nervous — trust your instincts. n Stay in well-lit areas as much as possible. n Walk close to the curb and avoid doorways, bushes and alleys where someone could hide. n Walk confidently and at a steady pace, making eye contact with people when walking. n Use UC Davis Police Safe Rides after hours on campus by calling 530754-COPS, or download TAPRIDE, the free smartphone application. n If you ever feel you or others are in danger, call 911.

A multi-agency investigation is underway following a West Sacramento arson incident during which the suspect reportedly was found with numerous incendiary devices. The probe began with a report of a large levee fire Tuesday afternoon near the Sherwood Harbor Marina on South River Road, which threatened to spread to a nearby residential area, according to a West Sacramento Police Department Facebook post. “Witnesses reported the fire was the result of arson and the suspect was seen fleeing the scene on foot,” the post said. The suspect, later identified as 47-year-old Shawana Nailah Haynes of Sacramento, then left the area in a vehicle. A Sacramento Police Department air unit and West Sacramento police boating unit spotted the fleeing car and

notified patrol units, who performed a traffic stop and arrested Haynes on suspicion of arson. “During a search of the vehicle, eight molotov cocktail incendiary devices and materials for making incendiary devices were located,” prompting officers to summon the Yolo County Bomb Squad to respond to the scene and render the items safe, police said. Haynes was booked into the Yolo County Jail on charges of arson, possession of a destructive device in a vehicle and possession of items to manufacture a destructive device. A motive for the incident remains ongoing by the West Sacramento police and fire departments and the Yolo County Bomb Squad with assistance from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Cops seek ID of iPhone thief By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer Davis police are seeking the identity of a suspect who stole multiple iPhones from a downtown T-Mobile store earlier this week. In a social media post Wednesday, police said the burglary occurred Monday at the 110 F St. store. “He did not respond as employees attempted to greet him and proceeded to tear multiple iPhones off the wall display,” the post said. He fled the store with the stolen phones. The post included a photo of the suspect, described as a Black male adult with short hair, wearing a red sweatshirt with a shark design on its hood. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Davis Police Department at 530747-5400.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

Fill ’er up: your gas station By Sara Thompson Special to the Enterprise

O

ne of the most important functions our bodies perform to keep us alive is called gas exchange. This is the process in which oxygen is spread throughout the body and carbon dioxide is removed. The most integral parts of this process are in the respiratory system. When we breathe in, we are bringing oxygen into our bodies, and then we exhale the carbon dioxide. This process is a bit more complex than just breathing in and out, and relies on all parts to be working correctly in order to function properly. Our respiratory system is made up of two parts, the upper and lower tract. The upper respiratory tract consists of your nose, mouth, nasal cavity, pharynx, and larynx. The lower respiratory tract consists of the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli and lungs. Air is drawn in from the mouth or nose and passes through the pharynx and larynx. The larynx is the transition point between the upper and lower tract, since its purpose is to allow food into the lungs but keep food and water out. Once past the larynx, air passes through the trachea, which is a tough, cartilaginous tube connecting the larynx to the bronchi. The bronchi branch at the end of the trachea and each enters one of the lungs. Inside the lungs, the bronchi continue to branch more and more, smaller and smaller until they become the smaller

Explorit Science Center bronchioles. These continue to branch and eventually will end with the alveoli, which are small, balloon-like structures that capture the oxygen in the air we breathe for our body’s gas exchange. Within our bodies, each cell creates carbon dioxide naturally while performing its job in our bodies. As blood travels through, it picks up this excess carbon dioxide, which distributing oxygen to various parts. The deoxygenated blood returns to the right side of the heart and is pumped to the lungs. In the lungs, the blood travels through various small capillaries and exchanges the carbon dioxide with the oxygen in the lungs via a thin membrane on the alveoli called the blood-air barrier. The oxygen is then carried back to the heart for distribution throughout the body, and the carbon dioxide is then removed from our bodies by exhaling, or breathing out. Campers in this week’s All About You camp learned about the different body systems and how to keep them healthy. Campers put together a skeleton, learned about nutrition and even watched the dissection of sheep organs! Explorit has extended its after-school camps through May, and plenty of spaces are still available for the remaining weeks. Camps are Monday through Friday from 3:30

Special to The Enterprise Although she grew up speaking Spanish and French, like many children who immigrated to the United States, distinguished professor Isabel Montañez struggled with English in high school and college. One university professor told her she would never graduate, Montañez recalled. Those difficult experiences inform her interactions with undergraduates at UC Davis. For Montañez, that means respecting every student as an individual and taking time to recognize and support their goals. “She made me feel like a priority even while she was teaching classes, reviewing scientific papers and traveling around the world for research projects,” said former student Daphne Kuta, ’19. Montañez’s commitment to undergraduate learning and development was recognized on May 4 with the 2021 UC Davis Prize for Undergraduate Teaching and Scholarly Achievement. The $55,000 prize is among the largest of its kind in the country and is funded through philanthropic gifts managed by the UC Davis Foundation. This year, the pandemic prevented the traditional celebratory cake during class. Instead, Chancellor Gary S. May popped into Montañez’s Zoom classroom to announce the prize this morning.

Climate history A renowned paleoclimatologist and field geologist, Montañez specializes in reconstructing past climate change in the context of

interactions between continents, oceans, the atmosphere and life on Earth. Her research on a major ice age that ended 260 million years ago provides clues for predicting how our climate will respond to anthropogenic gas emissions. More recently, Montañez and her students have teased out a timeline of Northern California’s climate history from cave stalagmites in the Sierra Nevada. A career spent comparing ancient and modern climate gives Montañez a “fourdimensional view” of climate change, a perspective she is skilled at communicating to students. In a class she created for non-science majors, called Earth systems science, Montañez vividly illustrates climate change by linking each lesson to current events and students’ daily lives. “This generation wants to know how they can be part of the solution to today’s problems, and it’s wonderful to help students develop that vision for themselves,” she said. During this year of remote learning at UC Davis, Montañez flipped her classroom for the Earth systems course. For example, instead of exams, students kept a daily journal relating what they’ve studied to their lives, their future plans and society. Montañez also hosts learning groups in the morning and evening to accommodate people working from different time zones. “As the comments from her students make clear, Montañez is an inspiring teacher who is dedicated to reaching students at all levels,” said Ari Kelman, interim dean of the College

Montañez earns UCD teaching prize By Becky Oskin

of Letters and Science. “She is the kind of professor whose work transforms the lives of her students.” Student evaluations describe Montañez as “a fantastic instructor” who is “incredibly knowledgeable” and “is personally invested in her students and cares that each one understands their impact on the planet.”

Inspiring science Montañez’s fascination with Earth history was sparked early on, when she and her father discovered rocks filled with trilobite fossils while on a walk. “From then on, he would take me fossil hunting and I fell in love with it,” she said. She was born in Switzerland and moved to Pennsylvania with her parents when she was 11. Her father, a doctor, spoke Spanish with her, but French was her first language. In school, she struggled to adjust to writing and speaking English. “I had a high school teacher who told my mother I would never make it,” Montañez said. But other teachers encouraged her aptitude for math and science, providing opportunities such as summer science camps. Montañez has paid forward that support many times over, mentoring more than 50 undergraduate and graduate researchers during her career. A believer in teaching with real-world problems, Montañez brings these young geoscientists

with her to research locations around the world. She also taught high school students in the California State Summer School in Mathematics and Science, or COSMOS, program for many years. “What I love about teaching is the sheer pleasure of watching students discover, of seeing the light bulbs go off,” she said. Montañez is a UC Davis chancellor’s leadership professor in the department of earth and planetary sciences, in the College of Letters and Science.

Utility execs getting off easy A down payment C on racial equality By Kiran Savage Sangwan Special to CalMatters

A

fter a long, hard year, hope is on the horizon. The arrival of the COVID-19 vaccine allows us to glimpse the welcome possibility of reopening our economy and our schools. While we celebrate more Californians being vaccinated every day, Black and Latino communities continue to be significantly under-vaccinated and there is little perceptible improvement over time. Just as we cannot yet declare victory over the pandemic, we cannot let up our fight for equity now. COVID-19 has only affirmed that racism is the most pressing public health crisis of our time. The pandemic has clearly exposed two California’s — the California where those with access to resources have comfortably sheltered in place and quickly queued up for vaccines, and the other California where Black and Brown communities have, at great personal risk, kept our economy running while being denied basic health and economic opportunity. We cannot have an equitable pandemic recovery if we do not take bold steps to address the underlying inequities. The federal American Rescue Plan Act, signed by President Joe Biden on March 11, provides California, along with all our county and city governments, with an unprecedented opportunity to make a $42 billion down payment on equity. Every one of these federal dollars — generated by taxpayers, including all Californians — should be allocated by the state government, and every local government, with a racial equity lens. Here are 5 key proposals that the Legislature and governor should advance, using the American Rescue Plan Act dollars as an initial investment: Ensuring universal access to health care: With this investment, universal coverage can be a reality in California. We should fully fund Medi-Cal and Covered California in order to provide health insurance to all Californians, regardless of immigration status or ability to pay. We have the ability, the public support, and the growing political will to move beyond slogans to actually making this a reality. Tackling the looming mental health crisis: The trauma and loss wrought by COVID-19 is likely to leave Californians with an incredible mental health toll, particularly in communities of color. Mental health is a right. We should fund mental health infrastructure sufficient to ensure that every Californian has regular access to dignified, culturally appropriate mental health services.

B

uilding the health care workforce of tomorrow: The health care system of tomorrow will only advance equity if it is community-driven. This means investing in a transformed health care workforce through new educational opportunities for low-income youth of color and Californians facing unemployment to have health care careers. Not only must we diversify our health care workforce, but we must do so by creating economic opportunities for the communities that have been most impacted by the devastating economic impacts of the pandemic. Bolstering public and community health: Over the last year, communities of color bore the consequences of decades of defunding public health. We must turn the page on this history and protect our communities with a public health infrastructure that is not only able to effectively tackle infectious diseases, but one that builds strong and healthy communities by addressing the social determinants of health and partners with health plans, hospitals, physicians, nurses and other health care providers on focusing on prevention and optimizing community health, not just paying for the costs of preventable diseases. Confronting racism: California should formally commit to confronting structural racism by declaring racism to be a public health crisis and investing $500 million in a California Racial Justice Innovation Fund. The fund would serve as a catalyst for statewide change, investing in bold ideas, systemic reforms and community needs that explicitly root out racial injustice throughout our state. While the American Rescue Plan provides one-time relief, California can sustain these investments by implementing a more equitable tax structure that requires the richest Californians to pay their fair share and by divesting from the prison system. According to the California Budget and Policy Center, California loses $13.3 billion annually through corporate tax loopholes and wastes more than $20 billion on prisons, jails and policing, according to the Public Policy Institute of California. Equity means a fundamental shift in power and resources. Let’s show our commitment to a new tomorrow by making this $42 billion down payment today. — Kiran Savage Sangwan is the executive director of the California Pan Ethnic Health Network, a statewide health advocacy organization focused on addressing racial and ethnic health disparities, ksavage@cpehn.org. She author wrote this for CalMatters, a public interest journalism venture committed to explaining how California’s Capitol works and why it matters.

alifornians could have been excused if they reacted with a ho-hum the other day, when Sonoma County District Attorney Jill Ravitch filed 33 criminal charges against PG&E for injuring six firefighters and endangering public health with smoke and ash from the 2019 Kincade fire that burned for two weeks. The blaze destroyed 374 buildings and homes and caused almost 100,000 people to flee as it burned 120 square miles, some of which was not in wild or forested land. Why react indifferently when a utility company faces criminal charges for the wrongdoing and negligence that caused this blaze, for which PG&E has accepted government findings assigning it blame? That’s easy: Utility companies have been convicted or “taken responsibility” for plenty of fires and other disasters they admittedly helped cause over the last 10 years. So far, not a single corporate executive has served even one second of jail time for all the damage done. Surely, someone must be responsible for all these corporate crimes. Actual humans had to be making decisions, for example, when California’s privately owned utilities misused approximately $65 billion customers paid for alleged

Shop at R&R I love to shop and consign at All Things Right and Relevant (2801 Spafford St. in Davis). It has been my favorite COVID outing beyond the park, pharmacy and grocery store. I feel safe there as they follow all the state and county restrictions. The main store is large with people and racks of clothes spread out. The thrift store is small, so they limit the number of people in at one time as well as in the consignment area (two people at a time). There is usually no waiting for consigning. Donations are accepted in thrift on Wednesday and Friday. Also, the staff is friendly and kind. They will help you with purchases and even visit and ask how you are doing. As a nonprofit supporting local mental-health agencies, the staff is sensitive to people’s issues during this difficult time. They appreciate your business, too. It is a great place to find bargains on all types of clothing, household items, furniture, books, puzzles and linens. The thrift, managed by local mental-health clients, has very good deals on clothes after they expire in the main store. I find it especially useful, too, to bring in clothes no longer needed and find new ones at a bargain price. R&R is a special, unique store in our community worthy of our support and it is fun to explore for those unexpected bargains! Helen Mussen Davis

The program would be under the guidance of the Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency staff doing the risks and needs

f course, Gov. Gavin Newsom greased things greatly for the companies by helping write and then signing off on SB 1054, which created a $13.5 billion state Wildfire Fund to help utilities pay for future damages they cause. Customers are regularly dunned on their bills to fund this gift to irresponsible regional monopoly companies that have yet to demonstrate why they deserve to hold those monopolies. The same customers, now wearing their taxpayer hats, have also funded a new half-billiondollar wildfire prevention fund, which Newsom and his cronies in the Legislature hailed as a great advance. But this was no advance; rather, it was just more enabling of criminal companies and their executives. Will some of those executives face anything new in

the upcoming Kincade fire trial? D.A. Ravitch and her staff and hired experts went to the ignition site of the Kincade fire “as soon as it was safe,” and found the inferno began when a cable broke in high winds, causing molten material to drop onto dry vegetation below. That old cable should have been replaced long before it arced and fell. Someone, somewhere decided not to do this. That person ought to be held responsible. Newsom and the Legislature can devote all the money and manpower they like to wildfire prevention and planning, but it won’t alter the utilities’ longtime practice of negligence and irresponsibility until people making the decisions understand they will be held to account personally when their terrible choices cause terrifying consequences for people they are paid to serve. — Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

facility maintenance between the mid-1950s and 2015. But no one took personal responsibility. No one ever has. It was that way when San Diego Gas & Electric caused the 2007 Witch fire that killed two and injured 55 firefighters. Similarly, no one at Southern California Edison paid any personal price for the 2017 Thomas fire that burned from near Santa Clarita in Los Angeles County all the way into the city of Ventura. And no one went to jail last year when PG&E pleaded guilty to 84 manslaughter counts in the 2018 Camp fire that destroyed the town of Paradise in Butte County. It was the same after the 2010 PG&E gas pipeline explosion that killed eight in the Crestmoor residential neighborhood of San Bruno, resulting in a felony negligence conviction for the company, still under criminal probation for that failure. In each case, the utilities paid fines, but recouped them soon after in their next round of rate

increases granted by the ever cooperative and submissive (to utilities) state Public Utilities Commission. It’s high time this changed and that paying fines and damages for fires and other “accidents” caused by utility company neglect and incompetence becomes something more than a routine cost of doing business, the way it has been lately.

assessment for each offender entering the program which include evidencebased or promising practices. A key component of Hope Yolo is that for those who complete the program it would require the court to expunge records of drug crimes, thus having the criminal conviction dismissed. This is critical for a person when in the employment process. A 2020 report from the National Institute on Drug Abuse indicates there is scientific research since the mid-1970s that shows the Hope Yolo model is effective and reduces both drug use and crime after an inmate returns to their community. The report concludes that some research shows that an estimated 65% of the incarcerated population have active “substance use disorders.” It is undeniable that the incarceration of the majority of SUDs has not been a solution toward a better life in particular for low-income and people of color who dominate the criminal justice system. Status-quo or doing nothing should not be acceptable in attempting to solve SUDs, Yolo County has an opportunity to do better and show that everyone regardless of their past decision making is valued. Giving people a choice for a second chance to help themselves and their families and loved ones is the right thing to do. We need an alternative systematic approach like Hope Yolo where a person’s consent to the program could save lives and give them a second chance. Jesse Ortiz, Ed.D.

Teacher recruitment and compensation A teacher friend of mine wants out of his current school district. He looked over DJUSD as a possibility. He found that Davis was not competitive in terms of salary and benefits when it came to recruiting teachers. My fellow Davisites, we need to do better. We need to provide decent salaries and benefits for teachers so that Davis students can get the best quality education possible. Rian McMurtry Davis

State shrinks thanks to NIMBYs According to the 2020 census, California has shrunk in terms of population for the first time in history. Some will say it’s because California is a bad place to live, but this is false. Our weather is nice and our jobs are plentiful, but our rents are too high so people (mostly lowerand middle-class) leave. This is clearly because we don’t build enough housing to meet demand. Davis refuses to build units on vacant land, our “downtown” is zoned to prioritize car-owning suburbanites, not apartment dwellers (students and the lower class), nearly all of our land is zoned suburban (read, expensive). California’s stagnation is our fault. Zachary Cosenza Davis

Davis school district employees to receive $2,500 stipends By Edward Booth Enterprise staff writer Davis school district employees will be receiving one-time stipends of $2,500, pending school board approval at the May 20 board meeting next week. The payment is the result of agreements the district made with the Davis Teachers Association and California School Employees Association (CSEA) late last month. The stipend will go to teachers, administrators and confidential staff employed at the time of the agreement. Longterm substitute teachers and cohort leaders — who have been providing in-person support and supervision to cohorts of students at school sites since around the end of December — will also be receiving the $2,500 payment if they’ve been employed by the district since January this year, according to an email sent to district employees on Monday by Amari Watkins, associate superintendent of business services. The email also says that DTA members will receive 37 hours of compensation, at $41 an hour, for self-directed professional learning and preparation time. And CSEA paraeducators and library technicians will receive compensation for six hours of professional development, paid at individual rates, while other CSEA members will receive two hours of compensation. Deputy superintendent Matt Best said in an interview Wednesday that employees providing COVID-19 screening will also be receiving the stipend. He added that the purpose of the payment is to acknowledge that district employees have taken on additional work and have had to adapt to new conditions because of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially during the district’s transition to a 5-day in-person learning model early last month. “The purpose was to acknowledge that every employee has been doing different work, additional work, work they never imagined themselves doing, over the course of the entire school year but particularly at that time transitioning to in-person learning,” Best said. — Reach Edward Booth at edward. booth@mcnaughton. media.

CLINICS: Will get Pfizer shot UCD: More events, From Page A1 appointment is needed for this one, either. Both clinics will offer the Pfizer vaccine, which is the only COVID19 vaccine authorized for use in those under age 18. The county health department also offered the Pfizer vaccine to those 12 and up at a clinic on Thursday and will do so again on Saturday. The Saturday clinic will be held at Holy Cross Church, 1321 Anna St., in West Sacramento from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Students ages 12 to 17 must either have a parent or guardian present at vaccine clinics or bring a signed minor consent form, available at http://bit.ly/ MinorForm1. Pfizer vaccines are also available for ages 12 and up from healthcare providers and pharmacies, including the Rite Aid on Cowell Boulevard in South Davis. The Pfizer vaccine was authorized this week for adolescents ages 12 to 15 after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine safety review panel and the Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup reported the vaccine is safe and effective in protecting this age group against severe illness, hospitalization, and death. Earlier this week, the Food and Drug Administration amended the Pfizer vaccine’s emergency use authorization to allow administration for

12- to 15-year-olds, following clinical trials that proved it safe for this age group with only non-serious side effects like fatigue and headache, according to the state. “It’s important to remember that young people need protection against the severity and ongoing threat of COVID-19,” said Dr. Erica Pan, the state epidemiologist. “California has had more than 500 cases of serious health outcomes among young people resulting from this virus, and cases are increasing among younger Americans and Californians who have not yet had the opportunity to be vaccinated,” she said. “I am grateful to be able to protect my own teenagers now.” The Pfizer vaccine has already been administered to millions of California adults as well as more than 30 percent of 16- and 17-year-olds. However, demand for COVID-19 vaccines in Yolo County, where half of the population is now at least partially vaccinated, is declining. “The bad news is that we have more vaccine than we have people who currently are interested in getting vaccinated,” Sisson told the Yolo Health Council on Thursday. In order to make getting vaccinated as easy as possible, the county has shifted strategies, Sisson said,

including by offering vaccines at locations where people already are, such as schools, workplaces, grocery stores, food bank distribution sites and churches. The county even had a vaccine team riding buses this week. “They’re on YoloBus, on some of the longer routes, offering vaccine to passengers,” said Sisson. Still, she said, “it is harder and harder to find arms… in the adult population.” The good news, she said, is the demand among 12to 15-year-olds. Yolo County has about 11,000 adolescents in that age group, Sisson said, “so we could see a significant increase in the proportion of the population being vaccinated if we make good progress in this newly eligible age group. The bottom line: “Yolo County remains at this critical crossroads and critical moment in the COVID-19 response, where our case rates are increasing, we have more infectious variants and only half of the population is protected by any form of vaccination. “So it’s really important to continue all of the protective measures, emphasizing the importance of vaccination,” said Sisson. “It’s never been easier to get vaccinated. The vaccination is safe, it’s effective and it’s also free.”

STUDENTS: Stepping into the unknown From Page A1 Yutika Khemka, an incoming UC Irvine student from Kolkata, India, said that given the vaccine shortage in her country, she would take whatever vaccine is available to her. She’s more anxious at the prospect of flying halfway across the world unvaccinated. “I don’t think we are in a position to choose,” she said. Easing the path for international students to get to the U.S. helps staunch some of the enrollment shedding due to COVID-19, which has led to a 14% drop in international college student enrollment in the U.S. between 2019 and 2020 and an even sharper decrease among new international students. Some public colleges have also become increasingly reliant on revenue from international students who pay several times more in tuition than domestic students. Students from countries offering vaccines without final approval from the World Health Organization shouldn’t be discouraged, said Dr. Sarah Van Orman, chief health officer at USC. “We’re encouraging everyone whether they’re in the U.S. or another country to get the vaccine that’s available to them,” said Van Orman, who is also a member of the COVID-19

taskforce for the American Health College Association. The organization of college health leaders is advising campuses to accept vaccines approved by the World Health Organization, mirroring guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Students arriving to the U.S. inoculated with vaccines that aren’t approved by the U.S. or the World Health Organization may be revaccinated, according to current guidance from the Centers for Disease Control. However, the same guidance says that no “data are available on the safety or efficacy” of receiving an authorized vaccine after receiving one that isn’t. While noting there’s no data on the practice, the UC is also proposing to require revaccination for students who are partially vaccinated or with innoculations outside the approval of the U.S. and World Health Organization. Students would receive approved vaccinations at least 28 days after they last received their other international shot, the UC said. “I don’t think people should be concerned about revaccination at this point,” Van Orman said. “What we don’t want to see is students who are in other countries delaying vaccination

because they may need to be revaccinated when they arrive.” But the unknowns about revaccination are “probably the biggest concern” among students, said senior Rex Zhang, a UC Berkeley international student living in China who represents international students on the campus senate. A college providing vaccines to international students is enticing to Matchamon (Nam) Pianapitham, an incoming UC Berkeley student who lives in Bangkok, Thailand. “I’d rather get Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson & Johnson,” she said, listing the three vaccines available in the U.S. While the Thai government has approved two vaccines that are also accepted by the FDA and World Health Organization, Pianapitham doubts she’d secure inoculation in her home country. “We’re creating new records every day,” she said, “so I think they are vaccinating the more vulnerable people.” Fall term is several months away, and more vaccines may be approved by then, including those from China. If students still arrive without vaccines or unrecognized ones, colleges should provide them, the association of health colleges said. That’s what USC will do for free, Van Orman said.

On May 21, the School of Veterinary Medicine will hold a small in-person event with no guests allowed, which will be livestreamed on the school’s website. The following day, the School of Medicine will hold a virtual commencement. Undergraduate commencement will be held from June 11-13. The ceremony is designed to maintain public heath while also featuring some of the same elements of a traditional commencement. However, because of public health regulations, there will not be any speakers addressing the graduating class and groups will not be permitted to linger. Instead, graduates and guests will be spaced out 6 feet from each other at all times while they make their way through a series of steps in the ceremony. “First up, a photo-op tent will be filled with fun opportunities for selfies and family photos. Then, each group will proceed to the main stage, where the graduate will receive a ceremonial scroll (without shaking hands) and have their name read aloud in front of a group of campus leaders. A professional photographer will be on hand to document this special moment,” May described in a press release. Graduates participating in the in-person ceremonies will be limited to bringing two guests, each of whom must bring proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test result from the previous 72 hours. Additionally, any graduate traveling from

out of state to participate in the ceremony must show proof of vaccination. Graduates and guests will be required to where face masks during the event but will be allowed to remove them at times to take photos. “While the current state of COVID-19 infections and spread in our area has improved dramatically, the pandemic is not over and we must still be cautious,” May said last month. “Our commencement celebrations will be limited to comply with regulations and to keep our graduates, their families, our faculty and staff, and the broader community safe.” To limit the number of people gathered at once, multiple ceremonies will be held from June 11-13. “About 4,700 undergraduates RSVP’d for the inperson event as of the deadline last week,” UC Davis said this week in a press release. “Current coronavirus restrictions have a cap for each processional set at 300 students, so about five events will be held per day between June 11 and June 13.” Graduate Studies will hold a similar limitedscale in-person commencement on June 10. Students from the School of Education and the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing are invited to participate in that ceremony. Those programs will also host their own separate virtual ceremonies, the School of Education on June 9 and the School of Nursing on June 10. Graduate Studies will host a virtual ceremony on June 11. Also on June 11, the Graduate School of Management will host an in-person ceremony followed by a virtual commencement on June 12.

NEWSOM: Governor looks to leverage surplus for recovery From Page A1 initial investment, Newsom proposed $170 million as ongoing annual funding to invest in incoming first-graders who fit the same criteria. The plan also dedicates $2 billion for the implementation of COVID-19 health and safety measures, according to a press release. The California Comeback Plan, first announced on Monday, is a proposed budget plan formed from a $75.7 billion projected state budget surplus and roughly $27 billion in relief from the federal government.

Throughout the week, Newsom has announced plans for rent relief, utility payment relief, taking on the state’s homelessness crisis and providing stimulus checks to most California residents. On Thursday, Newsom proposed adding $1.5 billion into the state’s COVID-19 Small Business Relief Grant program, which gives small businesses grants up to $25,000. The program already has $2.5 billion — if the governor’s proposal is approved by the state legislature, it would carry a total of $4 billion for grant funding.

City offers irrigation and landscaping tips Environmental

By Dawn Calciano Special to The Enterprise

W

ith two dry years and current forecasts predicting continued dry weather (which could lead to increased irrigation in the late spring and summer), it is especially important to check that irrigation systems are working properly and that outdoor water use is as efficient as possible for landscape irrigation. Here are some springtime landscape and irrigation tips: n Inspect your irrigation system. Test your irrigation system to make sure it’s functioning properly because problems are not always visible unless the system is running. Look for broken or misaligned sprinkler heads (to avoid wasted water on driveways

update and sidewalks) and leaking pipes. Check drip irrigation for broken and/or missing emitters, breaks in the drip lines and any other damage. n Check the batteries. Irrigation controllers sometimes revert to factory settings after even a brief power outage. Check the batteries in your controller every 6 months and replace as needed to ensure your controller continues to run properly. n Soil moisture is key. The soil may look dry on the surface, but it can be wet at root level. Use a soil-moisture meter or screwdriver to go down a couple of inches into the soil and see if the

soil is still moist. n Just add mulch. Now is the time to add a layer of three to four inches of mulch around your plants to retain moisture, protect against the summer heat and suppress weeds. n Late nights or early mornings are best. Run your irrigation system in the early morning or late at night to prevent evaporation. n Convert your landscape. Consider removing all or part of your turf and replacing it with low-water-use plants. n Don’t forget your trees. During the spring and summer months, don’t forget to deep water your trees as needed depending upon the age of your tree, as young and mature trees have different watering needs. The city’s urban forestry

webpage at CityofDavis.org/ City-Hall/Urban-Forestry has more details on tree watering. During the most recent drought emergency declared by the state from 2014 to 2017, the city enacted mandatory wateruse restrictions in order to comply with the State Emergency Declaration and to meet our required water-use reduction target.

Wetlands programs return Special to The Enterprise Yolo Basin Foundation welcomes community members to summertime activities to enjoy and learn about nearby wetlands and wildlife. Free monthly tours of the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area are held from 9 a.m. to noon every second Saturday, from October through April and from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. in May and June. The nearly 17,000-acre Wildlife Area is one of the largest public/private restoration projects. People of all ages can tour the area with an experienced fieldtrip leader during the tours, viewing flooded seasonal and permanent wetlands, native grasslands and young riparian forests. Depending on the season, the group will look for migrating and resident waterfowl, shorebirds, songbirds, raptors and wading birds. Occasionally, they see wetland mammals such as river otters, beavers, muskrats and mink. Participants can also catch glimpses of frogs, turtles

and snakes sunning themselves or on the move in warmer weather. These are driving, caravanning tours with stops to get out of the car and walk. Yolo Basin Foundation offers monthly tours of the city of Davis Wetlands from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.every first Saturday, March through August and 3 to 5 p.m. September through February. The city of Davis Wetlands are managed, native California wetland ecosystems that include oak riparian woodlands and native grasslands. The group will caravan along the hard-packed gravel roads of the auto tour route. Several stops will be made along the way providing guests with a closer look at the many species of birds that use the more than 400 acres of reconstructed wetlands. Registration is required but free for each individual attending with a limit of 20 people per tour. Visit yolobasin.org/wetlandstours to register and for more information.

The Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area is open to the public for bird watching, using the auto-tour loop, and accessing walking trails through the wetlands every day from sunrise to sunset, except Christmas day. Dog walking and bicycle riding are allowed on top of the levees and to the north of the I-80 Yolo Causeway. The city of Davis Wetlands are open to the public for bird watching, using the auto tour loop, and accessing walking trails Feb. 15 through Aug. 31, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.seven days a week, and Sept. 1 through Feb. 15, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Mondays only. A colony of migratory bats lives under the Yolo Causeway during the summer. The Yolo Basin Foundation has a summertime Bat Talk and Walk that teaches about these beneficial mammals. The Batty for Bats Explorer Series Workshop and the Bat House Building Workshop will happen this summer, too.

Ceramic sculptures take over the Pence By Natalie Nelson Special to The Enterprise

C

eramic sculptor Marc Lancet’s current exhibit at the Pence has a great title: “Resonance & Wonder.” It’s taken from a quote by Stephen Greenblatt, from his book “Exhibiting Cultures”: “By resonance I mean the power of the displayed object to reach out beyond its formal boundaries to a larger world, to evoke in the viewer the complex, dynamic cultural forces from which it has emerged and for which it may be taken by a viewer to stand. By wonder I mean the power of the displayed object to stop the viewer in his or her tracks.” I challenge anyone who comes into the Pence to not feel a sense of wonder when viewing Lancet’s massive display over almost 50 ceramic works of art. The center of the show is composed of threedimensional female figures, which are abstracted and altered in various ways. Some are more than 8 feet tall, but the smallest is almost 20 inches. Despite their variation in scale, Lancet’s interest is always in searching for that elusive figure. As he writes, “Every time I enter the studio, I strive to create poignant human presence through vital abstract figure. I want to say more with less, to achieve maximum emotive presence with a minimum of essential information.” The drive to capture the human body, particularly the female body, has driven artists since the beginning of time to draw, paint, and sculpt its presence. Quoting artists from Neolithic times to Neoclassical era artists, Lancet uses the female form (and occasionally the male), to

“Between Folded Cliffs,” above, is a mixed-media sculpture by Lisa Jetonne that replicates the subtle colors of plant life at Point Loma at Cabrillo National Monument. Below, Marc Lancet’s piece “Destroy your Reputation, Be Notorious,” blending ceramics with found objects to create a lively expressive mask, also is on display at the Pence.

Adele Shaw’s “Spring Harbinger,” capturing a bird perched on a branch, is part of the Pence’s “Natural Abundance” exhibit.

Pence Gallery address issues of impermanence, spirituality, violence and destruction. Art is not always about light stuff. But for viewers who like a bit of wry humor, Lancet’s masks will tempt you to crack a smile and giggle a bit. These masks are full of expression, as their eyes wink, their lips pull a grimace, and their earrings are fantastic. The 20-some masks we have up are simply magical and each has a

title pulled from a line of poetry. My favorite is “Destroy your Reputation, Be Notorious,” a mask that is wood-fired, as are all of Lancet’s ceramics, endowing it with a rich patina of browns and golds. Its earring is made of hardware from a door, wire and an old fishing lure. To learn more about his work, listen to his artist talk from 2 to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 15, on Zoom. The free talk will include a question-and-answer period. Please sign up by

emailing me at penceart director@sbcglobal.net. Lancet is also doing a hands-on figure workshop in June via Zoom, and is present in the gallery to visit with the public from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 22. Please wear a mask and social-distance, and we will have limited numbers in the gallery at that time. Lisa Jetonne’s exhibit “Held to Earth,” is a great show to partner with Lancet’s. She once studied with Lancet at Solano Community College and has taken her ceramics in a fascinating direction in terms of connections to other disciplines. Jetonne has worked as an artist in residence at

‘Concrete Cowboy’ depicts hard-knock life Solid acting fuels engaging character drama

‘Concrete Cowboy’

By Derrick Bang

Starring: Idris Elba, Caleb McLaughlin, Lorraine Toussaint, Jharrel Jerome, Cliff “Method Man” Smith, Jamil Prattis, Byron Bowers and IvannahMercedes Rating: R, for drug use, violence and relentless profanity Available via: Netflix

Enterprise film critic Now, this is tough love. Director/co-scripter Ricky Staub’s impressive feature debut is a gritty, poignant study of fatherson bonding, set against a fascinating real-world backdrop that adds even more pathos to the emotionally charged narrative. The story is fictitious, adapted from Greg Neri’s 2011 young-adult novel, “Ghetto Cowboy.” But the setting is completely authentic, its anti-gentrification message more timely now than ever. Staub and co-scripter Dan Walser make this issue organic to their film, without strident preaching; we understand what’s in danger of being lost here, and — frankly — the threat is repugnant. The story opens on a grim note as Amahle (Liz Priestley), a hard-working Detroit single mother, receives word that her rebellious teenage son, Cole (Caleb McLaughlin of “Stranger Things”), has been expelled from yet another school. It’s the final straw, and Amahle is at wit’s end; she knows that Cole is just a heartbeat away from a life on the crime-laden streets. She, therefore, puts all of Cole’s clothes into two trash

Aaron Ricketts / Netflix photo

Fifteen-year-old Cole (Caleb McLaughlin, right) can’t begin to understand the horse culture that absorbs his long-estranged father (Idris Elba), particularly with respect to the funny hats everybody wears. bags, drives him to North Philadelphia and (literally!) dumps him on the doorstep of Harp (Idris Elba), the long-estranged father that the boy barely remembers. And Harp isn’t even home to answer the knock at the door. Nessie (Lorraine Toussaint), a sympathetic neighbor, explains that Harp can be found around the corner at the Fletcher Street Stables. “You’ll smell it when you get close.” Indeed. Alongside a hardscrabble collection of similar horse lovers, Harp is a member of the Fletcher Street Urban Riding Club (an actual 100-year-old organization, whose modern identity dates from 2004, with a

tax-exempt status granted in 2015). The horses are purchased at auction, saving them from likely being killed; the loosely monitored program provides a positive — and rigorous — working experience for local youths who otherwise might succumb to the temptations of the streets. And it’s absolutely the last thing Cole wants any part of, particularly since his father seems far more concerned about the horses’ welfare than his son’s. Cole would much rather spend time with Smush (Jharrel Jerome), a ne’erdo-well cousin who acts as a low-level gopher for a local crime baron who’s clearly very bad news. This

prompts Harp to lay down the law: Cole won’t be welcome — at home or at the stables — if he dallies with Smush. The nature of the story demands that Cole make every mistake possible and what follows is unrelenting: The boy remains stubbornly defiant, even as he reluctantly gains interest in the stables. Nessie is an active presence there, along with Rome (Byron Bowers), the wheelchair-bound Paris (Jamil Prattis) and Esha (Ivannah-Mercedes). (The latter two, along with numerous other extras, are actual Fletcher Street Club members.) The soft-spoken Prattis is terrific as this story’s

Yoda: the first individual to take pity on Cole, by pointing out the advantages a wheelbarrow has over a shovel. There is no judgment in Paris’ tone, just patient guidance. He becomes the bridge that brings Cole closer to his father. Elba, always a marvelously expressive actor, grants Harp subtle nuances. At one moment he’s tough and unyielding — virtually unapproachable — because he doesn’t want Cole to make the mistakes that he did: illadvised behavior that prompted prison time. But this disciplinary strictness is costly; Elba’s gaze also reflects pain and regret, for the lost opportunity to have gotten to know his son. McLaughlin radiates petulance and stubborn insolence: a kid who’s just

this side of lost forever. Yet we never hate him because such mulish defiance is clearly just a façade; the boy’s expression is too frequently forlorn and miserable. Cole is smart enough to recognize many (all?) of his ill-advised decisions, but not quite strong enough to resist them. Cliff “Method Man” Smith has a crucial role as Leroy, a cop who grew up in the neighborhood and acts as a benevolent link between The Man and the community. He recognizes the difference between Cole and Smush and sympathizes with Harp and the others when soulless government officials and developers — white, of course — cast a greedy eye on the land occupied by the stables. One nagging detail left out of this saga, however, is the means by which Harp and the others put food on the table, both for themselves and for their horses. (As horse folks know full well, equine care ain’t cheap.) There’s absolutely no indication of financial flow here; everybody seems to exist on air. We gotta just roll with it. That aside, few films so deftly blend a solid, relatable character drama with an equally effective indictment of repugnant social injustice. Add the fascinating revelation of the Fletcher Street Urban Riding Club (who knew?) and the result is a solid winner. Staub’s future film career definitely bears watching.

‘The Courier’ is a suspenseful espionage saga The British often excel at this sort of nail-biting drama

‘The Courier’ Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Merab Ninidze, Rachel Brosnahan, Angus Wright and Jessie Buckley Rating: PG-13 for violence, dramatic intensity, brief profanity and fleeting nudity Available via: Amazon Prime and other streaming outlets

By Derrick Bang Enterprise film critic The more I learn about early 1960s Cold War posturing, and Nikita Khrushchev’s volatility, the more frightened I get in hindsight. Thank God, the adults in the room remained calm and rational. Director Dominic Cooke’s “The Courier” is adapted reasonably faithfully from actual events; the result is an absorbing slice of oldstyle British espionage cinema. Cooke’s tone, Sean Bobbitt’s cinematography and Suzie Davis’ impeccable production design strongly evoke classics such as “The Ipcress File” and “The Spy Who Came In from the Cold”; indeed, at times this film feels as if it had been made during the same era. Events begin in July 1960, when Soviet military intelligence (GRU) Col. Oleg Penkovsky (Merab Ninidze) — gravely concerned about Khrushchev’s plans regarding Cuba and nuclear missiles — impulsively approaches a pair of American students on Moscow’s Moskvoretsky Bridge; he hands them a packet of documents and insists they be delivered to the American Embassy. The two young men oblige. In London, we meet business consultant Greville Wynne (Benedict Cumberbatch) and his

Once Greville Wynne (Benedict Cumberbatch, right) agrees to become a spy for MI6, his initial meetings with Soviet military intelligence Col. Oleg Penkovsky (Merab Ninidze) are the stuff of total anxiety. Over time, though, Wynne blossoms and embraces his clandestine role. wife Sheila (Jessie Buckley). He exudes aptitude and refinement: the sort of cultured, impeccably dressed British chap who’d smoothly navigate a deal over drinks at a gentlemen’s club. Cumberbatch makes him the epitome of ordinary: happily married, satisfied with his profession, at ease with life. Wynne isn’t overly intelligent, his dyslexia having hampered formal schooling, but he seems to have made peace with that. In short, Wynne is just the sort of fellow who — thanks to his frequent international business trips — would make the ideal undercover agent, because the Soviets wouldn’t look twice at him. This is precisely what MI6 operative Dickie Franks (Angus Wright) and CIA agent Emily Donovan (Rachel Brosnahan)

propose, to the utterly astonished Wynne. More precisely, they want him to act as the courier conduit to the information Penkovsky wishes to supply to Western powers. Wynne cooperates; he and Penkovsky subsequently begin a very dangerous game. Their time spent together, during frequent meetings in Moscow, is justified by Penkovsky’s ability to assist with Wynne’s desire to open trade negotiations between several British companies and the Soviets (a perfectly reasonable cover story). Over time, the two men become friends. As the summer of 1962 concludes, all involved recognize that the situation has become precarious; there’s also a suggestion, in Tom O’Connor’s thoughtful script, that the Soviets

may not be as blind to events as everybody assumes. As for what happens next — well, that would be telling. Cumberbatch, ever the chameleon, vanishes behind Wynne’s business suit, coat, hat and carefully clipped mustache. It’s intriguing to note that the man seems to blossom as his clandestine activities continue as if he enjoys playing a role that allows him to step outside his ordinary life; we sense this from Cumberbatch’s half-smile. Then, too, the warmth of his gaze, when in Penkovsky’s company, bespeaks genuine fondness for this unlikely friend. In deliberate contrast to Wynne’s lack of sophistication, Ninidze’s Penkovsky clearly regards himself as the smartest person in any room. He’s fearless, and exudes confidence: a meticulous planner convinced he can control this situation. But Ninidze also adds an important touch of decency; Penkovsky does not regard himself a traitor, instead

viewing his actions as a moral necessity, given Khrushchev’s recklessness. Wright’s Dickie Franks is every inch the classic MI6 handler: blandly impassive, justifying any means to achieve a desired end, coldly maneuvering his “assets” like pawns on a chessboard (and likely willing to sacrifice them just as casually). Penkovsky, Greville and Sheila, and Franks are authentic individuals; Emily Donovan is a fictitious composite of several CIA handlers. (For starters, all upperechelon CIA officers in the early 1960s were men.) Brosnahan, immediately recognized from “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” brings emotion to the mix; unlike her British colleagues, Donovan is passionate, feisty and genuinely concerned about Wynne. Abel Korzeniowski’s lovely, lyrical, waltz-hued orchestral score adds a wistful touch to the film’s gentler moments, and is just as effectively unsettling when matters become tense and suspenseful. Fans of thoughtful, low-key espionage thrillers will feel right at home here. And there’s no doubt, once this film concludes, that you’ll immediately hit the Internet — as I did — in search of additional information about Oleg Penkovsky and Greville Wynne. Truth really can be more fascinating than fiction. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http://derrick bang.blogspot.com. Comment on this review at www.davis enterprise.com.

PENCE: Upstairs gallery showing paintings and drawings by 17 artists From Page B1 several national parks, and she has a keen interest in using a medium like ceramics, which is derived from the land directly, to represent specific locations. Pieces represent her experience of places like Muir Woods, Homestead National Monument’s prairie, the Shasta-Trinity mountains, Mt. Lassen, Cabrillo National Monument’s endangered marine chaparral, Sonoran Desert National Park, Woodbridge Ecological Reserve, and the Marin Headlands. One of the most spectacular is a mixed-media sculpture “Between Folded Cliffs” which

has 70 or so egg-shaped ceramic forms, all in subtle natural colors from purples and tans to greens of various shades. It’s a piece that represents the colors of the endangered Coastal Sage Scrub and Marine Chaparral environment on Point Loma at Cabrillo National Monument. Most visitors miss these colors unless they hike out into the ravines and valleys, and she tried to replicate these hues in 40 different glazes on the ceramic forms. Another piece, “Bit by Bit,” is a compilation of specimens formed by visitors to the San Diego Museum of Natural History, where Jetonne was an artist

in residence in 2017. She would give visitors a verbal prompt and then they would sculpt whatever that brought to mind, whether it was with wings or “something that I just saw.” She collected hundreds of these unique specimens and assembled a vintage craftsman’s tool chest with drawers filled with them. There’s a guide to see what they were representing, and it makes you realize that so much of what we see in science museums has been carefully constructed for our view, from specimens in drawers, to elaborate natural history dioramas. Visitors to her exhibit can pull

out the drawers and investigate these colorful sculptures created by hundreds of visitors during her residency. Her artist talk will mention more on the project, as well as several other ones, from 7 to 8:15 p.m. Wednesday, May 26. This free talk is on Zoom and registration is via email to penceart director@sbcglobal.net. Upstairs, the Andresen Learning Center gallery is exhibiting “Natural Abundance,” a display of paintings and drawings by 17 local artists who have participated as artists over many Pence Gallery Garden Tours. This exhibit, on view at the Pence through May 30, is a spectacular

collection of landscapes, still-life subjects, and even abstracts, on the theme of our natural world. Adele Shaw’s “Harbinger of Spring” is a lovely painting of birds playing on a tree branch, and is completed with encaustic on wood panel. This layering of wax and color gives the composition a feeling of depth, and the colors of the leaves are lovely. Be sure to check out this show as it replicates the beauty of spring and the human interest in capturing the beauty of nature’s creatures. — Natalie Nelson is the executive director and curator of the Pence Gallery; her column is published monthly.

Devils soar over Wolfpack By Owen Yancher Enterprise sports editor Personal bests were pumped out left and right Wednesday as the Davis High track-and-field team took on Cosumnes Oaks at Ron and Mary Brown Stadium. On the girls side, 13 benchmarks were topped as the Lady Devils beat the Wolfpack, 75-34. The DHS boys registered another 19 as they kept their undefeated Delta League season alive, improving to 4-0 following a 101-34 beatdown. “Normally, this time of year we’re at Sections or Masters,” Devil head coach Spencer Elliott explained. “So it’s weird to still be doing dual meets. It’s hard to keep the energy right. “But our kids did a really good job. They brought it. And we ran fast.” The Blue Crew flew high and far as well. In the girls jumping events, Lily Gieschen was a double-event winner. As she’s done in multiple

meets this spring, the San Diego State-bound senior claimed top honors in the triple jump (34-01) and long jump, snaring a PR at 15-11. “Lily’s the product of a lot of hard work,” Elliott told The Enterprise. “She jumped well as a freshman, so we got excited then about her potential.” The veteran coach said last spring’s abrupt cancellation at the onset of the pandemic was terribly frustrating for the budding junior. “But she kept working,” Elliott added. “And at our Sheldon meet a few weeks ago, she busted out a 36-foot jump, which was an awesome PR. So she’s got a little bit of swagger and confidence now, which is fun to see.” There was a party all afternoon at the high jump pad as boys winner Ray Oldham (6-01) and Nolan Bitners (5-11) set personal bests. Shay Hawkes topped the girls field with a season-

best mark of 5-02 and even jumps coach Lon Payne got in on the fun, leaping for a 4-foot-11 birthday bounce. “Our high jumpers kicked some serious butt,” Elliott said, heaping praise upon the Devils’ frosh-soph ranks as well. In the 3,200, Zach Ayers (9:25.25), Ryan Mitchell (10:04.75) and Connor Cougevan (10:26.03) went 1-2-3. The three were fresh off a first-place finish in the distance medley relay at the Arcadia Invitational this past weekend, in which they banded together with teammate Ansel Tucker to win the event in 10:29.37 — nearly a second ahead of second-place Rancho Cucamonga. On the girls side, it was also a 1-2-3 Devil sweep in the 3,200. Abby Carroll (12:49.25) was neck-andneck with Corinne DeJong (12:49.78), while Grace Dwyer crossed the finish line third. In the 800, Sean Layman was top dog with a 2:02.99

effort. Amie Huang won the 1,600 (5:49.89) and Emma Vogt was first in the 400 (1:03.68) with Kate Stevenson (1:05.59) and Genna Olivarri (1:09.70) close behind. Bitners and Maddie Buzbee were the boys and girls 110 and 100 hurdles winners in 17.30 and 18.13, respectively. Dean Fulks won the 300 hurdles in 45.64. Tyler Venner chalked up a shot put PR by over a foot, with a winning-toss of 46-11. Andrew Baum’s 13206 discus heave also shattered a previous benchmark. In the pole vault, girls winner Gabiela CaceresFernandez reached 10-06, while Will Siemens elevated to 13-06. Tai Hacket’s 38-07 triple jump also topped the stat sheet. Winning relay groups included Ben Norton, Layman, Jacob Schaal and Josiah McCarthy in the boys 4x400 (3:45.95) and Chloe Barr, Isabel Garcia,

DHS volleyball, baseball dominate Enterprise staff The Davis High boys volleyball squad picked up its first win of the season Wednesday night on its home opener. The Blue Devils thumped the visiting Sheldon Huskies in four sets; 25-12, 25-15, 20-25, 30-28. Pleased with the team’s effort, head coach Chris Sortor said, “It was a great feeling to get the first win of our season and it really boosted the morale of the team. “They’ve been working really hard in practice and it’s very nice to see it all work out in a game and prove we’re a competitive team,” the first-year coach added. The Devils relied on the entirety of their roster in the victory, resulting in a diverse box score; seven different Davis players registered kills, including a team-high six from Rowan Keller. The Devils also recorded six aces. On defense, Liam Langley registered seven digs and Marcus Blewett chipped in two blocks. “To be honest, I don’t know that there really was a standout performer in this game,” Sortor explained. “Rather they all put in a lot of effort and played to their highest capabilities. “We had some slow points in the game, but as soon as they all brought the energy back up we were able to take control and play a really good game.” Now 1-1 in Delta League play, the Devils will travel to Antelope for a nonleague matchup Monday before continuing the road trip Wednesday at Cosumnes Oaks. “This win will build a lot of momentum,” Sortor went on. “Now (they) team realizes what they’re capable of and that they can be a high-performing team.”

Girls volleyball For the second straight match, Emma Thompson led the Lady Devils in kills, tallying seven strikes along with teammate Lena Sundin as the locals downed Sheldon, 3-0, in their second Delta League match of the spring Wednesday (25-15, 25-23, 25-13). Thompson added a teamhigh four aces and 14 digs as DHS improved to 2-1 overall. Kate Nelson, Emily Wells and Grace Heringer each had four kills in the win, Veronica while Roe Nelson and Nicole Risch both tallied a pair of aces. Tara Reddy finished with four digs. Davis hits the road Monday for a 7 p.m. date with Antelope.

Boys water polo McClatchy didn’t stand a chance Wednesday ... Thirteen different Blue Devils put shots past the Lions goalkeeper in a 21-2

smoking. Trey Doten’s four goals topped the stat sheet; Brennan Fuchslin had a hat trick; Alex Cordone, Dennis Fineberg and Ryan Pfeifer each scored two; and Joshua Davis, Asher Reising, Jonny Vochatzer, Alejandro Johnson, Ben Rayls, Ryan Mayeur, Christian Davis and JT Doughty also joined the scoring party. Goalies Ben Simon (seven) and Juan Ramirez (four) combined for 11 DHS stops, while Doten and Christian Davis accounted for three steals each. Returning to the water Thursday, DHS beat Rocklin, 19-9, behind a six-goal Doten outburst. Joshua Davis scored four, Cordone pushed in three and Vochatzer, Pfeifer and Fuchslin each netted two. Ramirez made 12 saves in the win. The Blue Crew hosts River City at Arroyo Pool at 6 p.m. Monday.

Girls water polo Lucie Lapuz made an eye-popping 11 steals Wednesday as the Lady Devil defense swallowed McClatchy, 26-1, in Sacramento. Lindsay Taylor and Alyssa Malaya Wright Waterson each scored four times and Kathleen Sheridan, Alyssa Waterson, Lapuz and Gia Hertl all netted hat tricks. Iz Meraz powered in a pair as well and had eight steals. Single scorers included: Camilla Taylor, Claire Miller, Kenzie Walker and Devil keeper Maddie Walker, who finished with a pair of saves, splitting time with Kappa Martin (three stops). Lindsay Taylor’s four assists were a team high, as were the three exclusions Wright drew. Thursday, the Devils walloped Rocklin, 21-3. Lindsay Taylor scored five, Meraz had four and both Lapuz and Wright (five assists) had hat tricks. Sara Kos and Kenzie Walker each scored two, while Hertl and Waterson rounded out the offensive effort. DHS hosts St. Francis on Friday for a 7 p.m. rivalry showdown at Arroyo Pool.

Boys tennis Three weeks after falling to the Blue Crew, Jesuit turned the tables Thursday at the Davis High Tennis Courts. The Marauders collected points at the first four singles spots and won a tie-breaking doubles match to beat DHS in heartbreaking fashion, 5-4. Jared Umphress and Ian Hwang won at Davis’ No. 5 and 6 singles slots. Umphress improved to 9-0 this spring, with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Jesuit’s Ryan McNeil. Hwang beat Marauder Allyn Fry, 6-1, 6-1. Playing alongside one another for the first time this spring, Nikhil Chander and Arjun Penmesta won their doubles point, 6-2, 6-3. Nico Perez and Ayden Morgan also rolled their Jesuit counterparts, 6-1, 6-4. “(We’re) best when try not to focus on the outcome,” Umphress said, talking about his unbeaten streak this season. “I just focus on each match and play each point.” Playing with a hard cast on his left hand, Alan Cao nearly climbed out of a hole after falling in his first game at No. 2

singles, 6-1 — winning the following tilt, 6-3. But dropped his third set to Derek Babb, 10-5. The Jesuit victory puts the Marauders’ Delta League title hopes into the hands of the Devils, who can claim a share of the conference with a victory over Cosumnes Oaks next week. DHS and Jesuit sport identical 8-2 records. However, a Davis loss to the Wolfpack (9-1) next week would give CO (9-1) its firstever Delta title.

Baseball DHS evened the season series with Jesuit on Thursday at one game apiece, winning 3-1 behind Rockwell Lybbert’s best start of the season. Lybbert fired a complete game, striking out nine and allowing just four baserunners while giving up just a single unearned run. The senior has been masterful on the mound this season; he has a 1.17 ERA and has allowed just four earned runs in 31 innings. Davis (15-6 overall, 5-6 league) led 1-0 on a first-inning RBI single from Saul Israel until the Marauders (10-9, 7-7) knotted the game in the sixth. But Gizaw Baker singled and Mikey Finerty walked to lead off the bottom half of the sixth, setting up Koen Carston’s go-ahead sacrifice fly. Brian Chin tacked on an insurance run with an RBI tap to right field before Lybbert slammed the door shut in the seventh. Next up, Jesuit hosts Davis on Saturday. First pitch is scheduled for 11 a.m.

Softball Cosumnes Oaks spoiled the fun Thursday, beating DHS 8-2, on an afternoon in which the Lady Devils celebrated their nine graduating seniors. Madison Rutherford led off the ballgame in style, smoking a triple to left-center field before scoring on Jordan Zuniga’s RBI single. The following at-bat, Zoe West tapped a liner to center, scoring Alex Zurborg. But that was the extent of the DHS offense, with Stevie Spencer and Sarah Griffiths adding hits. On the mound, West pitched all seven innings, tallying three strikeouts. Davis’ seniors honored included: Rutherford, Mia Mark, Zuniga, West, Zurborg, Halle Gabriel, Spencer, Oliva Waldren and Griffiths.

Girls basketball Cooking Cordova, 65-45, on the road Tuesday, the Lady Devils picked up their sixth win. Senior Skylar Schouten erupted for a season-high 23 points, just two shy of her careerhigh, while her younger sister, Tessa, added a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds. “(Skylar) and Tessa dominated in the front of our press,” Devil head coach Heather Highshoe told The Enterprise. “We

Jordan Zuniga

forced 35-plus turnovers and a lot came during (the second quarter, in particular) from our press.” During that second frame, DHS chalked up 29 points, the Devils’ highest-scoring quarter this spring. The scoring surge widened the locals’ lead to a 20-point advantage they’d never relinquish. Emme Eisenman added 9 points, Mara Bledsoe scored 6 and Maddie Buzbee finished with 4, while Lily Hessl and Bella Oliva put up 3 points apiece. Back in town on Thursday, the Devils crunched Sheldon, 56-34, in a feisty contest that featured four technical fouls and a pair of Husky ejections. Bledsoe finished with a team-high 13 points in the rout. Skylar Schouten had 12, Tessa Schouten and Maddie Buzbee tossed in 7 each and Lily Hessl scored 6.

Boys soccer The Davis boys prevailed 2-1 on the road at Pleasant Grove Thursday afternoon. Conner Clark led the way, scoring a brace. His pair of goals were assisted by Angel Salgado and Nic Montano. DHS hosted the same Eagles on Tuesday, thrashing PG, 6-0. Despite a less lucrative win, the Devils still managed to extend their win streak to five. Head coach Alex Park’s squad boasts a 5-0-1 record this spring. Next week, Davis will face Franklin twice; once home and once away.

Girls soccer

Laying down a 5-0 blowout on the visiting Eagles, the Lady Devils earned their fifth win Thursday versus Pleasant Grove. Summer Baron’s cross to Una Keller, who nodded the ball past the PG keeper, was good for the first goal. Davis scored the second in quick succession, setting up virtually the same cross to the back post. But this time, it was Olivia Johnson digging it out for Becca Blum, who nodded home with a bullet header to double the locals’ advantage. The Devils wrapped up the first half with a third goal: a Johnson finish into the bottom left corner. Harper Burnham played between the sticks for the first half, maintaining a clean sheet, before yielding to Sky Avalos in the second half. After intermission, Johnson completed her brace, bursting past the PG backline and rounding the keeper before placing the ball into the empty net. The fifth and final scoring strike came from Georgia Postema, who smashed a rebound into the Eagles’ net. Davis’ season continues Tuesday against Franklin. Coach Sara Stone’s Skylar squad is on a six-game unbeaten streak, Schouten stretching back to the season opener.

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.)

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.
