More accolades go out to departing county spokeswoman BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Jenny Tan’s work as Yolo County public information officer has not gone unnoticed. Her once daily — more recently, biweekly — COVID-19 video briefings have kept the county informed about everything from testing to vaccinations to changes in health orders since last spring, and she has been hailed as a key partner during the pandemic by officials from other jurisdictions, as well as those with Healthy Davis Together. Earlier this year, Tan was honored as a “Woman of the Year” by the California Legislature for her efforts during both the COVID-19 pandemic as well as during devastating wildfires. And last week she was named to the National Association of Asian Pacifics in Politics and Public Affairs “Top 40 under 40” list, which honors the top Asian American Pacific Islander political operatives and public affairs

professionals under 40 years of age. Now comes more recognition: Tan has been named senior manager of public affairs for the California State Association of Counties, meaning counties across the state will now benefit from her expertise. The bad news for Yolo: Tan’s last day as county public information officer will be June 4. “It was a hard decision for me,” she said, “since I love Yolo County so, but CSAC is offering me a lot of room and opportunity to grow in my field.” While the county decides on a replacement for Tan, Frank Schneegas, currently interim public information officer, will continue to provide COVID-19 video updates. “I am proud to congratulate Jenny Tan on her new position with the California State Association of Counties,” said Supervisor Jim Provenza of Davis. “We are sad to lose Jenny but are heartened that Yolo County

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Davis City Council members took their first look on Tuesday at a draft city budget that’s in better shape than many would have feared at the beginning of the pandemic shutdown a year ago. But while the proposed budget restores some funding for capital improvement projects that were postponed last year and funds some of the public safety reform proposals approved by the council in

April, not everyone is satisfied. Public safety reform proponents who weighed in during Tuesday’s meeting urged council members to put their money where their mouths are and set aside funds in the budget now to fully implement the nine recommendations in the Reimagining Public Safety report issued by a city subcommittee last year. The council voiced support for those recommendations in April and voted to create a pair of subcommittees to look into the key

Gavin Newsom. “If you’re a family of six, do the math.” Meanwhile, millions of dollars will be up for grabs in three drawings scheduled for June where the names of every Californian who has been vaccinated will be entered. All told, the state is putting up $116 million to

incentivize vaccinations. As of Thursday, 37 million Californians — about twothirds of all adults — have been vaccinated, but with the pace slowing in recent weeks, the ability of the state to reach the magic number touted by President Joe Biden and others — a 70 percent vaccination rate by July 4 — is not yet in reach. “We have seen a reduction in the number of

people looking to get access to this vaccine,” said Newsom, who added that after 2.1 Californians were vaccinated three weeks ago, that number dropped to 2 million two weeks ago and 1.9 million people over the last seven days. “That’s not even close to where we were at peak, just shy of 3 million people over a seven-day period, so we’re starting to see a decline in

the total number of doses administered on a weekly basis,” said Newsom.

So, Thursday’s announcement of “the most significant incentive program in the United States of America,” as Newsom described it.

That is not as precipitous a decline as some other states have seen, he said, “but we are mindful that if we continue down this path and this trend, we’re not going to get where all of us need to be, and that is north of 70 percent of all eligible Californians getting administered doses of this life-saving vaccine.”

Memorial Day had great meaning for my dad ■ Editor’s Note: The following column

first ran on May 23, 2020.

W

hen I was growing up in this town, Memorial Day was always on May 30, no matter which day of the week that happened to be. It could arrive on a Tuesday or a Thursday or a Saturday, which I think gave the day a bit more meaning. Now it’s regarded as the first day of summer. A day to get out of town or fire up the barbecue, though those things may be discouraged this time around. The Indy 500 was never televised when I was kid, but you could listen to the roar of the engines on the radio. The name Billy Vukovich still comes to mind. Now, of course, we’ve assigned many such days to Monday to create a three-day weekend, which has tended to detract from the day itself, be it Martin Luther King Day or Presidents Day or Labor Day. The Fourth of July, given its name, can’t be changed, which is a good thing. If we called it Independence Day, it would no doubt already have been changed to the first Monday in July.

Several decades ago I wrote about this day and the special meaning it had for my dad, who had fought in World War II and remembered with great sadness his fellow soldiers who had died at his side. What follows is what I wrote on that Memorial Day. ———— I remember my dad used to talk to me frequently about war on days like this, but never in glamorous terms. He fought in World War II in both North Africa and Italy, but he refused to watch war movies because he said they romanticized something that wasn’t romantic. Memorial Day isn’t for my dad, because he came home alive, but it is up to the living to remember

TAN: Yolo’s PIO gets noticed From Page A1 will continue to benefit from her work on behalf of that association.” Tan, who lives in Davis with her husband and three sons, started her career with Yolo County in 2019 and moved from communications coordinator to public information officer in 2020. Almost immediately she was helping manage the response to COVID-19 and later wildfires — all in addition to the typical duties of a public information officer, which include issuing press releases and responding to both members of the public and the media about non-COVID issues from elections to severe weather and more. In naming Tan Yolo County’s “Woman of the Year,” state Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, said “Jenny

has been the voice of Yolo County during the most devastating public health crisis in a century and recent wildfires. “She has shown the kind of leadership that is needed in an emergency. I’m proud to recognize her for this valuable contribution to the community.” In response, Tan said, the past year “has shown the importance of communications work – being transparent, simple and clear while telling the story of our communities as authentically as possible.” Last week brought more acknowledgments of Tan’s work, this time from the National Association of Asian Pacifics in Politics and Public Affairs. “As the public information officer leading communications during the COVID-19 pandemic as

those who have died. Dad had seen war. Up close and personal. He had seen those who died on both sides and he realized people who fought against him had hearts and souls and families and dreams just like he did. He was married to the daughter of German immigrants. Obviously, in his mind, the Germans weren’t inherently bad people and certainly weren’t his natural enemies. He wouldn’t let war rob him of his humanity. A few years ago, I came across a letter my dad wrote from the war in Italy to my mother — his wife — in Portland. It is dated May 29, 1944. He wrote, “I live each day by itself and don’t think of the days that we have to be apart, but always keep in mind that some day we will all be together again. “If you take each day by itself and don’t think of the time in weeks or months or years, it will be much better. “We have a radio here and we have it on quite a bit. We even get ‘Fibber McGee and Molly.’ I have not yet heard that song that is called something like ‘Mares Eat

Oats,’ but I have read about it in the papers. “Sometimes we listen to the Italian and German stations. The German propaganda stations have pretty good American music. Their propaganda, however, is quite amusing. “Hey, guess what, the radio is now playing that ‘Mares Eat Oats’ song. Isn’t that a coincidence? It is a fairly cute song, but I don’t see anything outstanding in it. “You mention, dear, in your letters, that you feel bad because you can’t do much to help me, but you shouldn’t feel that way at all because you are doing all I could possibly want you to and that is taking such good care of our little girls and watching over them and giving them all the love and other things they need and guiding them to be good Catholics and teaching them how to be happy and that life is beautiful and to enjoy the things that really count, like their home and flowers and the sunshine and the little babies dancing on the pavement when it rains.” — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net

well as the LNU Lightning Complex Fires, Jenny has been recognized as the voice of Yolo County, working to keep the community updated through clear and authentic communications,” according to the announcement. Tan, along with a small team of staff, has issued more than 100 press releases, made more than 1,000 social media posts, provided more than 600 media interviews and created more than 1,000 flyers and graphics throughout the pandemic, “from new cases to testing and now vaccinations.” “This year has been extremely humbling,” said Tan. “I am honored to do this work for my agency and to be recognized by NAAPPPA. No matter your ethnicity or background, we all have the ability to be great public servants and step up when our community needs us the most.” Supervisor Gary Sandy of Woodland praised Tan for providing useful and accurate information

under the most difficult and challenging of circumstances. “Her poise, professionalism and preparation served the communities of Yolo County well as she navigated through the pandemic, wildfires, and a host of other issues, including invaluable work on the census,” said Sandy. “She truly embodied the spirit, caring and compassion that exemplifies the character of Yolo County.” Provenza called her a “superstar.” “She quickly became a reliable and trusted voice during the pandemic, using both traditional and innovative approaches to keep the entire Yolo County community informed,” he said. “Her daily videos, frequent press releases and online updates were relied upon by thousands of Yolo County residents to navigate the ever-changing rules, procedures and requirements designed to keep us safe.

BUDGET: Mayor stresses process of a ‘dynamic and living document’ From Page A1 budget document does not reflect our words and so does not signal action or intent for commitment to the nine recommendations put forth by a joint subcommittee,” Partida said. “I want to remind everyone that our budget, in addition to being a reflection of our values, is a dynamic and living document. “While the actions we seek to reform public safety may not be spelled out as clearly as some may like, we are lucky to have a council that is in fact committed to making our public safety equitable and responsive to all voices in our community,” the mayor said. “The fact that every detail of change is not concretely spelled out actually works to the advantage of the innovative nature of what we’re trying to achieve. “This is the introduction of the budget discussion,” Partida noted. “We have several calendar dates … where we will return and fine-tune the numbers and make adjustments at that time. So … I just want to say that (the money) will be there for what we plan to do around this issue.” That money for public safety reform and more would be available heading

into fiscal years 2021-22 and 2022-23 was not a given a year ago. “The past 16 months have been unprecedented, for the city as an organization and the community as a whole,” city staff noted in their budget presentation on Tuesday evening. “Budgeting during a global pandemic has been a challenge, to say the least, with changes to service delivery, loss of revenues and an unparalleled need to focus on public health for the community. “During the spring of 2020, with the pandemic only months old, city staff revamped the city’s budget to make approximately $13 million in cuts and changes to allow the city to weather what we hoped at the time would be a brief continuation of the COVID-19 shelter in place orders and restrictions. “Unfortunately, it is only now, as we are about to enter into fiscal year 202122, that we are able to plan and prepare for a return to a new normal,” the staff report said. “The two-year budget reflects this hope for recovery, with revenues ramping up, although not immediately, and an attempt to reinstate several of the initiatives and projects that were delayed in

2020 due to COVID. “Due in large part to the cuts made and fiscal restrictions instituted for fiscal year 2020-21, the city has weathered the past year plus in fair condition. While we are not out of the woods yet, we are able to look forward with more confidence than we have had since March of 2020.” On the revenue front, lower-than-usual funds related to COVID included the loss of park and recreation fees, parking revenue and even fees from traffic enforcement. Property tax revenue was largely insulated from the impacts of the pandemic and even sales tax revenue, which did decrease, “has performed better than we originally thought,” city staff reported. “The full recovery of retail sales will depend in part on concerns of consumers about resuming their former level of activity, and new buying habits that may become ingrained.” The city’s transient occupancy tax has been the hardest hit of any of the main city revenue streams as travel has been severely curtailed and UC Davis has been operating remotely for the past fiscal year. But business license revenue and cannabis tax

revenue either stayed the same or increased during the pandemic. The proposed budget, said Webb, “begins to boost revenues that decreased during the height of the pandemic while acknowledging that it will still take some time to fully recover from and to the pre-pandemic levels … “As an organization, we want to really continue on this path to recovery,” he said. “Helping navigate all the way across the finish line is crucial and we’ve presented a budget here that helps accomplish that. It allows us to transition and emerge from the pandemic moving forward.” Some infrastructure projects that were defunded last year in the early months of the pandemic are back on track for either fiscal year 2021-22 or 2022-23. One that was slated for 2022-23 was safety improvements at the intersection of Ponteverde and Tulip lanes in East Davis. Residents of that area have repeatedly pleaded with the city to install a bike crossing with lights for the many children who bike to and from school through that intersection. The council approved $330,600 for improvements prior to the

pandemic but the project was put on hold last spring. Numerous residents called into Tuesday’s council meeting to urge that the improvements be moved up a year to the 2021-22 fiscal year rather than the following year and the council agreed to do so. “At the time COVID was hitting, we basically had the plans ready to go out to bid so that package remains ready to go out to bid today,” Webb told the council. “If there’s general consensus among council that

there’s a desire to advance the timing of that from the second year to the first year of the budget … that’s sufficient for tonight.” Said Councilman Will Arnold: “I regret the economic circumstances that meant that it wasn’t part of our budget a year ago because kids would be using it right now to get to school… so I want to get that going ASAP for folks.” The council will hold a workshop on the proposed budget at its June 1 meeting with budget adoption anticipated for June 22.

project. Her husband, Dr. Mel Vallero, served as videographer and editor. “It was really fun, because I got to hang out with my friends again,” said Katherine, age 11. “I wanted to connect with people and spread the message, tell people that if they are able to, to vaccinate so they can help the community.” For Austin, 11, a Music Stream Center student who played the video’s piano accompaniment, a vaccinated community means a return to vacations and inperson activities he’s longed for over the past year. “I hope people learn to not be scared of or shy about the vaccine, and that they’ll do their part and wear a mask and get vaccinated,” he said.

Filmed several weeks ago over the course of a couple of hours, the video shows the youths, wearing T-shirts designed by Ink Monkey, playing in local parks and patronizing small businesses including Let Them Eat Cake, Dos Coyotes es Border Cafe and Sweet and Shavery. “Wee wanted to make sure that they were recognized, nized, to support the he local economy and highlight ght the richness ess that Davis’’ small businessess have to offer,” Vallero o said. “Wee need to

support the small businesses, because in this pandemic it’s been hard for them to stay afloat,” added Matthew. As for the project itself, “I think everyone enjoyed it.” The youths also displayed displa handh made provaccination signs in varsign ious laniou guages in gua video, the which also features p photos of healthcare workers and others rreceiving vaccination their vac shots. Their effort has since led to an appearance o on Channel 31‘s Good Day Da Sacramento. The group is now working on a second seco project, set to John Lennon’s

“Imagine,” that promotes world peace, Black Lives Matter and stopping Asian hate. “This is a way for the kids to use their musical talents and come together for a cause,” said Kelly Williams, Austin’s mother. “It’s an important message, and that they have a voice and made it be heard is special.” Vallero said she’s proud of Davis’ youths and young adults who have actively sought COVID vaccines. “I have heard wonderful stories from my patients with needle phobia or those that have proactively approached their parents to allow them to get the vaccine,” she said. “You all are heroes! Together, we’ve got this!” — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenter prise.net. Follow her on Twitter at @laurenkeene

cards — from Kroger, Albertsons or Mastercard — will be provided after eligible individuals receive their second dose of Pfizer or Moderna or single dose of Johnson & Johnson. “We hope to distribute all of those dollars before June 15 (the date California is scheduled to reopen completely),” said Newsom. “And we are prepared and we believe we will be ready for that June 15 reopening fully of the economy here in the state of California.” And while the state’s announcement of $100 million in gift cards aims to get people who’ve not yet been vaccinated to do so, there are prizes as well for those who already are vaccinated. “What about everybody else that did the right thing?” Newsom asked, “that two weeks ago, two months ago, took the time

away from work, waited in a long line, maybe drove 50 miles into another county and got vaccinated and gave us the momentum that put us in the position we are today with the lowest case rates and lowest positivity rates in America?” There are rewards for them as well. The names of every Californian who has received a COVID vaccine will be entered into drawings that will be held on June 4 and June 11, Newsom said. On each of those days, the state will pull the names of 15 individuals who will each receive $50,000. Then, on June 15, 10 individuals who have received at least one vaccine dose will each receive $1.5 million. Eligible winners include everyone ages 12 and up, though the $1.5 million prizes for minors will be held until their 18th birthdays. The

Deceased professor brings memory of error

R

ecently, I read in my college alumni magazine that Monsieur Maigret died. He must have been a very old man, and I hope his passing was easy. I may have taken a French class from him 35 years ago, but I recall nothing, not the subject matter, not his speaking style, not even his face. I do remember that several years ago Monsieur Maigret became the accidental victim of my good intentions. I am not using his real name here, but his name was, in fact, the cause of this misadventure, because it looked so much like the name of another of my undergraduate French professors, whom I’ll call Monsieur Magram. I have positive memories and a good mental picture of the younger man, Monsieur Magram. I can still see him, a newly-minted assistant professor, lithe, energetic, with a full head of curly brown hair. His good looks were marred only by the large orange stains on the fingers of his left hand, the result of a serious cigarette habit acquired, along with his excellent French accent, while studying in France.

I had a crush on him as a freshman, but by the time I was a junior and asked him to be the adviser for my honors thesis, I knew he was gay. He listened to my proposal to compare two reclusive chroniclers of the adolescent experience, J.D. Salinger and French-Canadian author Réjean Ducharme, and gave me the “OK.” In the course of my lengthy project, he cheered me on. At its conclusion, he made the intimidating “defense of the thesis” into a gentle, encouraging event. He never teased me about the fact that I had chosen my topic in order to visit my boyfriend in Ducharme’s hometown of Montreal. (Maybe I never told him.) When I got to graduate school, I learned that the kind of study I had done was out of fashion, but Monsieur Magram had never discouraged me. Instead, I completed my bachelor’s degree feeling successful, and in the years after that, I thought gratefully of Monsieur Magram whenever I typed “honors” on my résumé. When the AIDS epidemic hit, Monsieur Magram’s face came to my worried mind. I felt very

relieved a few years later when I ran across his name, confirming that he was alive and well. I decided to write to him. By that time, I had been a college teacher myself, and I knew how wonderful it is to hear from a grateful former student. I wrote him an enthusiastic letter and was not surprised when a reply arrived immediately. It was the content of that reply that knocked me off my feet. “Dear Marion Franck,” the letter began, “Never has a letter brought me such real happiness as yours has succeeded in doing.” The handwriting was tiny and unfamiliar. “In the course of many years of retirement, I have often looked back at my career. Rest assured that it has not always been with

complete satisfaction. At any rate, your letter has succeeded in assuaging some of the selfcriticism such looks backward have brought.” The letter writer was honest. He didn’t claim to remember me, but it turned out my memory had failed, too. “Many years of retirement?” My honors thesis adviser had been a young man; when I wrote the grateful letter, he would have been in his 50s.

I

n a moment, I realized the truth. I had mixed up the names and written my letter of praise to the wrong man. What to do? People have always told me that mistakes should be corrected. If you give bad information, fix it. If you’re rude, apologize. If you’re wrong, admit it. But this time I did not, even for the tiniest moment, consider rectifying my mistake. I did try very hard to remember the elderly Monsieur Maigret, but it is possible I never had him as a teacher. I thought about searching my ancient boxes of college paperwork, but I decided that wouldn’t make me feel better. I

didn’t need to learn that I had actually spent four months in Monsieur Maigret’s classroom and completely forgotten him, nor that his fear of being a poor teacher was justified. In any event, his note suggests that he did not normally receive praise from students. Perhaps he was one of those stiff, reclusive professors, but, obviously, his failure to connect with students troubled him. Now, several years after I wrote to him by mistake, I have in my hands his obituary, thanks to my alumni magazine. I have in my files his letter. How much harm did I do? To one old man, I mailed a puzzle piece that didn’t fit with his picture of his life. His response suggests that he found a way to incorporate that odd piece, concluding that there must have been an occasional student whom he deeply inspired. Maybe, because of my mistake, he died a happier man. — Marion Franck has lived in Davis for more than 40 years. Reach her at marionf2@gmail. com.

Center gives families that ounce of prevention BY CAROLINE J. CHANTRY Special to The Enterprise

W

e are facing a public health crisis as Americans. I am not referring to COVID, though it has been exacerbated by the pandemic. New evidence highlighting the breadth, depth and severity of this crisis is published almost daily. The crisis we are facing is unacceptably high and increasing rates of adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs for short, and the resulting health consequences. ACEs are traumatic experiences in childhood such as physical or emotional neglect or abuse, and toxic stress resulting from situations such as parental mental illness or substance abuse, domestic violence or incarceration of family members. Some of the worst health and social problems in our nation are negative effects of ACEs as these traumatic childhood experiences increase the likelihood of health

YOLO CRISIS NURSERY issues as an adult. ACEs are prevalent in our communities and span all segments of our community. The CDC states that “61% of adults surveyed across 25 states have experienced at least one type of ACE, and nearly 1 in 6 reported they had experienced four or more types of ACEs.” The most recent California data reveal even higher rates. A child’s sense of safety, stability and connection is undermined if they are experiencing chronic and toxic stress. Exposure to intense and consistent stress alters children’s brain development, impacting their attention, decision-making, learning and response to stress. Children who suffer prolonged trauma are more likely to experience mental and physical illnesses as adults. In a recent PBS

interview, California Surgeon General Dr. Nadine Burke Harris stated that people experiencing four or more adverse childhood experiences have double the risk of developing heart disease and cancer. Abused children are more likely to be violent as juveniles and at higher risk of becoming abusive in adult relationships, likely perpetuating the cycle. ACEs can also negatively impact education, job opportunities and earning potential. The expansive and long-term impact of ACEs on the mental and physical health of our families and community is costly. We need a preventive approach. If we can intervene in crises before children experience prolonged trauma, then our society as a whole is healthier and stronger. The Yolo Crisis Nursery is a gem of a resource in our community with its mission to provide early intervention services in a safe environment to nurture children

to become healthy and resilient, strengthen parents and preserve families. One of our clients, Jennifer, and her young son James were shaken to the core by a brutal domestic violence attack. Both mother and son were working hard at starting over when their past came back to haunt them in the middle of the night. Jennifer and James escaped that night with their lives, but both were severely traumatized. Little James could recall every horrifying detail of the attack, and Jennifer sank into a deep depression. Our nursery staff worked with James in our traumainformed respite care and preschool program, while Jennifer began attending to necessary legal issues and treatment for her depression. Flash-forward to today, Jennifer and James are together and thriving. They are a stable family with a home, Jennifer is employed, and James is in preschool. We recently

received a note from Jennifer: “As a family who benefited from your compassionate work, and as fellow caring humans, we are forever grateful for and inspired by the strength, dedication, kindness, and understanding with which you provide your crucial services for our community. Thank you so much!” Jennifer and James are proof that we cannot erase the past or all adverse childhood experiences, but with help, we can work to lessen the impact and make the future as bright as possible. The need for ACE prevention and mitigation to combat the public health crisis makes the Yolo Crisis Nursery’s mission of early intervention and wraparound services critical. We strive to work with clients to prevent and resolve crises so families can remain intact and children avoid trauma as much as possible. — Caroline J.

Hooby’s Farm opening in rural Davis A

Winters brewery is expanding — and getting closer to Davis. Hooby’s Brewing has a grand opening this weekend for Hooby’s Farm, at 24830 County Road 95, just outside Davis. The Stocking family — Curtis, Susie, Melanie, Chad, Courtney and Jackie — run the operation. They make beer in a production facility on Highway 128, and have been selling it out of a taproom in downtown Winters for the last two years. “In true Stocking family fashion, we entertained our dad, Curtis, with the idea of opening a second Hooby’s Brewing location — in the midst of a pandemic,” the family announced in a Facebook post. “We weren’t really looking for a new project, but in July of 2020, we found a beautiful property just outside the Davis city limits that had so much potential to be something we deemed ‘cool.’ For the past year, we’ve been working at the

farm to turn our vision into reality, and have a new place to enjoy ice-cold beer with our friends and family.” Beer, water and sodas are available, but no outside alcohol is allowed. “We will have a limited amount of sandwiches, fruit cups and chips for sale, so feel free to bring your own picnic and make a day of it,” they said. The 40-acre farm has sheep, goats, chickens and veggies. Dogs are allowed on leash. Veggies are available for purchase at its farm stand. The farm is open from noon to 8 p.m. Saturdays and noon to 6 p.m. Sundays.

The downtown Winters taproom is at 9 E. Main St., Suite J. It’s typically open from 4 to 9 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays, noon to 9 p.m. on Saturdays, and noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays. The taproom is closed this weekend to focus on the farm’s opening. ———— Yolo County Library branches are back open — without appointments. Patrons may visit once a day for up to an hour, and may have to wait in line outside if the library has reached its capacity. In Davis, the Mary L. Stephens Davis Branch Library is open from 2 to 8 p.m. Mondays, 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursdays and 2 to 5:30 p.m. Saturdays. Visit https:// yolocountylibrary.org/newopen-hours/ for more information. Curbside pickup continues for those who prefer not to come inside — but with reduced

hours: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesdays, 3 to 6 p.m. Thursdays and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays. ———— Get Fit Davis Sport is reopening its childcare room as of Tuesday, June 1. The fitness center at 1809 Picasso Ave. in Davis offers free childcare to members’ children while their parents work out or take a class. The service has been closed for more than a year. When my boys were young and the gym was Davis Athletic Club, that childcare was a lifesaver. For details, visit https:// getfitdavis.com/. ———— A new store in Woodland, Embellish Décor & Gifts, will host a grand opening from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, June 4. The shop, at 540 Main St., fills the former Crepeland space. ———— Morgan’s on Main reopened May 21 at 614 Main St. in Woodland. The popular restaurant

had been closed since midFebruary, with occasional popups at Blue Note Brewing. The new California cuisine menu includes burgers, fish, chicken, fries, salads, sandwiches, kids’ meals and more. ———— I keep track of Davis businesses on my Google spreadsheet, which includes more than 325 Davis businesses affected by COVID-19. It’s at https://bit.ly/ DavisBusinesses. In it, there are sheets for Restaurants-open, Restaurants-closed, Businessesretail, Businesses-service and more.

Innovation in cancer screening wins UCD business competition NurLabs receives $20,000, another $70,000 awarded to other ventures BY MARIANNE SKOCZEK Special to The Enterprise A team of executive MBA students attending UCLA’s Anderson School of Business captured the $20,000 first prize for the top innovation in the 21st annual Big Bang! Business Competition at UC Davis on Thursday night. Their startup, Los Angeles– based NurLabs, has developed a novel liquid biopsy using materials science and machine learning for early cancer screening. Early detection of cancer increases the likelihood of successful treatment. The Big Bang!, organized by the Mike and Renee Child Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, has been helping entrepreneurs start or grow business ventures for more than two decades through the competition, workshops, mentoring and networking opportunities. This year the Big Bang! was open to teams with a founder or team lead affiliated with a college or university in California. The annual awards show

— streamed via Facebook Live — announced the winners of more than $100,000 in prize money for innovations in food and agriculture, health, energy/ sustainability and education. Prizes for Big Bang! include $17,500 awarded in three Little Bang! pitch and poster competitions.

A mission to end late-stage cancer diagnoses Top winner NurLabs’ founder and CEO, Sumita Jonak, who has a background in biomedical engineering and chemistry, is joined by a team with diverse backgrounds and experiences: oncologist Abhinav Chandra, regulatory expert Deepa Nagar, operations director Brian D’Souza, technology executive Alan Schiaffino and financial executive Aram Babikian. For the NurLabs team, the mission to end latestage cancer diagnoses and give people living with cancer a fighting chance is personal. “All of our lives were upended by cancer,” explained Jonak, “so we set forth to tackle the biggest, baddest problem out there.” The National Cancer Institute reports that liquid biopsies can complement

the current standard-ofcare screening. Liquid biopsy is a noninvasive test done on a sample of blood to look for cancer cells from a tumor that are circulating in the blood, or for pieces of DNA from tumor cells that are in the blood. But current firstgeneration liquid biopsies rely on dead cellular material, which often results in late-stage diagnoses. In contrast, the NurLab platform detects and identifies material from living cells, Jonak said. “We are examining the couriers carrying cargo between cells. Cancer cells produce at least 10 times more couriers than normal cells, which makes this cancer biomarker easier to detect, before cell death has occurred, at earlier stages.” The startup has prioritized a liquid biopsy for early lung cancer screening. A growing number of lung cancers are diagnosed in nonsmokers, and today one in five people who die of lung cancer are nonsmokers, suggesting that genetic or environmental factors may play a significant role, the team said. NurLabs will invest the prize money directly back into the company to “advance our clinical studies and prove the science,” Jonak said.

Good news about those NCAA transfer rules

T

hings are rapidly changing in college athletics, and for once, the best interests of the athletes involved are moving front and center. For years, if a college athlete in a major sport wished to transfer from one school to another and continue playing his or her sport, he or she was required to sit out a full year of competition. In other words, if Tommy Touchdown played as a freshman at Alabama in the 2019 season but wanted to transfer to USC, he wouldn’t be eligible to play for the Trojans until 2021. From the final game of the 2019 season in late November until the first game of the 2021 season in early September is a span of 21 months. That’s an awful long time for an 18 or 19-year-old kid to be sidelined from his favorite sport. The message was clear: if you wish to take your athletic talents elsewhere, you’re going to be punished. Severely. Never mind that the kid might have found another school that better suited his academic interests or potential.

Never mind that things never clicked with the coaching staff he was so enamored with when he picked a college out of high school. Never mind that he didn’t feel he got the proper treatment for the serious injury he suffered midway through his freshman season. Never mind that you now wish to play closer to home instead of halfway across the country so mom and dad can attend a game or two. You transfer, you sit. Oh sure, there were “hardship” exceptions, but they were few and far between. Years ago there was also a rule that once you graduated, you could no longer compete at the collegiate level, even if you had a year or two of eligibility remaining. Fortunately, that rule has been rescinded. Now someone with a year of eligibility can continue to play and even transfer to another school without penalty. The transfer rule, even for undergraduates in major sports, has finally gone by the wayside as well, when university administrators finally realized it was

impossible to defend as in the “best interests” of the students involved. And remember, these kids made the decision about where they would attend school and compete as athletes when they were 17 years old. Sometimes when they were only 16. Shouldn’t they be allowed to change their mind as circumstances changed? This, from the Associated Press about the change instituted this spring: “The NCAA made it official, announcing the Division I Council had voted to approve a plan that will allow all college athletes to transfer one time as an undergraduate without having to sit out a season. The so-called one-time exception

that has already been available to athletes in most college sports, will now be available to football, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s ice hockey and baseball players who transfer from one Division I school to another.” However, transferring from one school to another within the same conference was frequently impossible without the permission of the school being left behind.

T

he Big Sky Conference, where UC Davis competes in football only, just did the right thing several days ago and dropped that policy as well. Said the earth-shattering release from Big Sky headquarters in Farmington, Utah, “Effective immediately, the Big Sky has rescinded its intra-conference transfer policy following a unanimous vote by the Conference’s Presidents’ Council during its Spring Meeting.” UC Davis Chancellor Gary May is a member of that council. Said Big Sky Commissioner Tom Wistrcill, “Allowing student-athletes being able to

transfer to another school in the same league and compete immediately, we recognized that this would be the right step for our conference to take. “Allowing student-athletes this flexibility is in their best interests, and I appreciate the thoughtful discussion all of our constituents had that helped lead us to this outcome.” Noted Northern Colorado football player Justice Littrell, president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, “We advocated for this change to ensure that athletes in the Big Sky can transfer and compete, while also providing academic freedom and peace of mind when going through an already stressful situation in transferring. “We are supportive of opening up every avenue possible for our peers to succeed, and this was a step in the right direction for all of us.” And wasn’t it great to read that word “unanimous” concerning the vote of the Big Sky Presidents’ Council. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

Aggies wrap up their track seasons at NCAA West Prelims Enterprise staff UC Davis junior pole vaulter Jered Española, sophomore sprinter Matthew Okonkwo and junior hurdler Anthony Easter each wrapped up their 2021 seasons during Wednesday’s portion of the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships West Preliminaries, hosted by Texas A&M at E.B. Cushing Stadium in College Station. Española finished 30th in the vault, Okonkwo was 42nd in the 400-meter dash (48.13), and Easter placed 43rd in the 400-meter hurdles. Crossing the finish line with a time of 37 minutes, 8.02 seconds, UCD senior Sarah Anderson placed 40th in the women’s 10,000-meter field Thursday, from which the top 12 earned tickets to the national finals in Eugene, Ore. A fifth-year animal science and the Aggies’ female representative for the 2020 Big West Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year award, Anderson posted a split of 6:57.05 after 2,000 meters, 14:11.85 after 4K, 21:40.62 through 6K and 29:29:29 at the 8K. She then closed out with a 1:22.29 split for the final lap. Española cleared each of the first three heights of 4.85 meters (15 feet, 11 inches), 5.00m (164.75) and 5.15m (16-10.75) on his first attempt before missing in the fourth round. The twotime Big West Conference champion finished in a three-way tie for 30th in the West prelims, along with StanSarah ford’s J.T. Herrscher and WashAnderson ington’s Chase Smith.

ROUNDUP

Okonkwo set the school 400 record of 46.36 at the CSUN Red & Black Invite on April 3, then won two Big West titles, the Big West Male Track Athlete of the Meet and the Co-Male Track Athlete of the Year award earlier this month. Easter, a 2019 NCAA qualifier, barely missed his fifth sub-53 performance of the year, crossing in 53.01. That put him 43rd overall. Oddly, Easter’s personal best of 51.36 in the event — set two years earlier at the NCAA meet in Sacramento — was precisely the cutoff for advancing to Friday’s quarterfinal heats.

DHS track and field Davis High’s Andrew Baum tossed the discus almost 10 feet further than any other thrower Thursday, winning the boys event at 128-09 as the Blue Crew took on Elk Grove in its final dual competition of the spring. Shay Hawkes won the ladies high jump (5-02), while Ray Oldham and Eitan Rosenheim each leapt 5-10 to top the boys’ leaderboard. Gabi Caceres-Fernandez was the girls pole vault queen (10-06), while Devil sophomore David Shigematsu’s 13-06 effort won the boys event. Hawkes, who will continue her jumps career at UC Santa Barbara next fall, also won the long jump (15-08.50). Lily Gieschen was first in the girls triple jump (37-02.50), Tai Hackett won the boys side in

38-08.50 and Tyler Venner’s 47-09 heave in the boys shot put earned him first. Distance runner Abby Carroll won the girls 3200 (12:22.96). Diego Perez (9:45.93), Luca Maes (10:49.82) and Luke Rashid (11:27.78) went 1-2-3 in the boys 3200.

DHS water polo Shredding Jesuit in the first half of play Friday, UCLAbound water polo standout Trey Doten scored five goals, spearheading the Blue Devil attack as Davis High coasted to a 17-12 home victory against the Marauders at Arroyo Pool. The Devils’ other future collegiate polo player, Joshua Davis, dispensed a team-high four assists (all in the opening half ) as DHS took a 13-3 advantage into the break. The senior attacker will trade his blue and white for Aggie blue and gold next season when he suits up for UCD. Brennan Fuchslin and Davis finished with hat tricks and both Ryan Pfeifer and Alex Cordone scored two. Dennis Fineberg and JT Doughty also whisked shots past the Jesuit keeper in what was Davis’ highest-scoring match against Big Red since a 15-goal performance in 2014. Asher Reising, Cordone and Doten contributed to the locals fine defensive effort, making three steals each. Doten added a key defensive save in front of the DHS goal to end the second period. The victory snapped a Devil losing streak against Jesuit that dated back to 2016. The two teams are set to tango once again, in Carmichael, on Wednesday at 5 p.m.

Newsom’s ‘rosy’ economic picture

Summer has T special feeling in America BY LLEWELLYN KING InsideSources.com

T

he calendar opines that summer starts on June 20, but we know better. Metaphorically, it starts on Memorial Day, when we give thanks to those we honor, those who gave their lives for their country. Then it is, “Beach, ahoy!” Memorial Day weekend signals the beginning of summer as if a flaming taper were applied to black powder and a cannon fired, joyously marking the sun’s reascendance to its throne. Summer is important everywhere: To the British who try to catch a few elusive rays under their perfidious sun; to the French who shut their country down in August, and claim their spots on the crowded Mediterranean and Atlantic beaches; or to the Germans who take the summer break as a time to earn bragging rights on how far away and in which unlikely places they took their generous six weeks of vacation. It isn’t that we Americans don’t travel. But it is here, at home, that we worship summer with the adulation of the sun. It is here we celebrate warmth, sand, water and barbecues. It is here that summer is most adored, most longed for, and most remembered for everything from young love to wraparound family togetherness. All the world celebrates summer, but Americans exalt in it; treasure it as no others around the world. Summer is woven into our culture, from those beach movies of the 1950s to its endless evocation in popular songs. Growing up in Africa, I was bemused and confused by all of this summer worship coming out of the radio. We took summer for granted. It incorporated our rainy season and was a little less lovely than winter — when the weather was so fair that the radio station (there was but one, and no television station ) didn’t announce the weather for six months. How many ways can a weather forecaster, even the most creative, say “perfect”?

here is a seamless connection between what Gavin Newsom is saying and doing as governor and his campaign to survive a recall, encapsulated in the slogan “California Comeback.” Newsom’s much-revised state budget, unveiled this month, is centered on a “$100 Billion California Comeback Plan” that would, he says, put the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic fallout in the rearview mirror. Last week, when new employment data were released by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, Newsom immediately hailed them as proof that under his leadership, the state is booming again. “California is continuing to lead the nation’s economic recovery, adding 101,800 jobs in April — 38% of all the jobs created throughout the entire country,” Newsom crowed. “Over the past three months, California has created 390,300 jobs. But we’re not letting up; the California Comeback Plan is the biggest economic recovery package in the state’s history and will provide historic investments in small businesses and workers to bring California roaring back.”

A closer examination of the latest employment numbers, however, indicates that — as politicians are wont to do — Newsom is cherrypicking the most favorable economic indicator while ignoring others that are less positive. One of the latter is the state’s unemployment rate of 8.3% in April, unchanged from the March level despite the supposed surge in new jobs. It’s still markedly higher than the national jobless rate of 6.1% and is the nation’s second-highest behind Hawaii’s 8.5%. California’s unemployment rate had been the nation’s third-highest in March, but New York improved enough to displace California in April. Four states were tied for having the nation’s lowest jobless rates of 2.8% in April. Arch-rival Texas was slightly higher than the national rate at 6.7%, The data point cited by

Newsom, that California added 101,800 jobs in April, 38% of the nation’s job gains, is also somewhat iffy. The California Center for Jobs & the Economy, a business-supported research organization, points out that the jobs number is a “seasonally adjusted” estimate, rather than a hard count, noting that the federal agency “so far has revised their adjustment formula three times in an effort to overlay seasonal factors to data that is overwhelmingly driven instead by the pandemic.”

“T

he underlying unadjusted numbers instead show California gaining a stronger 151,500 nonfarm jobs, and the U.S. doing far better with a gain of 1,089,000,” the center’s analysis continued. “Using the adjusted data, California had 38% of the national jobs gain. Using the more relevant unadjusted, California had 14%. As of the April numbers, California has regained 48% of the nonfarm jobs lost to the state shutdowns. The U.S. in total has regained 63%.” Newsom’s Employment Development Department (EDD) simultaneously released its version of the

federal jobs report, which demonstrated just how much ground California must regain to return to prepandemic levels. EDD said that just 38,600 more Californians were employed in April than in March while 1.6 million remained unemployed — and that doesn’t count those who have dropped out of the state’s workforce. The employment situation is especially daunting in Southern California. The Los Angeles region had the highest unemployment rate of any major U.S. metropolitan area in April at 11.7%, dragging down the state as a whole. So, it would seem, California is recovering, bit by bit, the more than three million jobs lost when Newsom, under emergency decrees, closed large segments of the state’s economy a year ago to battle the pandemic. However, we still have a very long way to go before he can legitimately claim a California Comeback. — CalMatters is a public interest journalism venture committed to explaining how California’s state Capitol works and why it matters.

Y

es, on the Zimbabwe plateau (highveld), close to the equator, the weather is perfect and, if I might say so, perfectly boring. No, give me the change of season. Let me join other Americans in celebrating the euphoria that breaks out every June when we say goodbye to dull care and embrace the bounty of summer, of cookouts and hikes, of shorts and tank tops and of going sockless. From the beaches to the lakes, summer draws us to the water; some just want to bake their winter-ravaged bodies in the hot sand, others want to take to the water in or on everything from canoes to paddleboards, and from dinghies to great schooners. The call of the water is loud in summer for many Americans but so, too, is the call of the mountains, and the glory of the national parks beckons with a seductive finger. The American summer is inextricably tied up with coming of age, of first love — indeed, the first of many first things. But it also enchants the oldsters. It is the time for family integration when grandchildren and even great-grandchildren can be indulged from Portland, Maine, to Myrtle Beach, S.C., and from the Upper Michigan Peninsula to San Diego. Summer thrills, stocks the memory bank, as even Alaska turns from the epitome of winter to a lush and tempting land where the outdoors offers a cornucopia of joys. I have been lucky enough to spend summers around the world, so I can report that nowhere is summer embraced with such near-religious fervor as it is here in the United States; nowhere is the sun’s return to full raiment of majesty so celebrated and adored. Remember this Memorial Day those who fell so that we might be free to fire up the grill and soak up the sun. It shines so lovingly on America. — Llewellyn King is executive producer and host of “White House Chronicle” on PBS. His email is llewellynking1@gmail. com. He wrote this for InsideSources.com.

LETTERS Gun advertising in The Enterprise I am disgusted to see that The Davis Enterprise continues to advertise gun sales in the paper. A half-page firearm ad from River City Gun Exchange was featured in Wednesday’s paper, the day after the mass shooting at the San Jose railway. Take a stand agains gun violence and gun sales and stop advertising for them. I don’t want to see these ads at my kitchen table. Soji Howe Davis

The Lorax endorses the stormwater fee You should have received a ballot in your mail about the stormwater fee. The Lorax knows the trees in Davis love water. But there can be too much of a good thing! That’s why we need a stormwater system to channel overflow water during the winter storms to sloughs, creeks and bypasses, and to avoid flooding. We all too often take this important infrastructure for granted … until we need it when the next Pineapple express comes roaring through. Yes, we are in the middle of a drought, but we know climate

change is making weather more extreme. Remember the winter of 2016-17 was the wettest year on record. Luckily one of the aged pumps did not fail us when we most needed them. But we need this fee increase so the next super-wet winter will not flood our homes and workplaces, causing untold millions of dollars in damage. Davis has been under investing in infrastructure due to budget constraints. Just look at our roads. This is creeping decay is also happening, invisibly in our stormwater system. As Dan Carson and Elaine Musser pointed out in an Op-Ed on May 22, many pumps and pump houses are 50-years-old, and one is (believe it or not) 97-years-old! Time for an update. The Lorax says vote for the stormwater fee update. Alan Hirsch Davis

as a laundry basket filled with toilet paper, paper towels, soap, sponge, toilet cleaner, toilet brush, bathroom and allpurpose cleaners, a multi-purpose tool for simple repairs and a grocery gift card. This time of life provides tremendous challenges for any teen or young adult, most of whom can rely on family and friends to offer emotional and financial support, as well as the items needed to furnish a first apartment or home. For those leaving foster care, however, that help and those resources are often not available. The gap has widened further during the pandemic, as many college students went home to their parents while those leaving foster care had no childhood home to return to and needed housing. Our 100-percent volunteer-run nonprofit receives and stores furniture donations and raises funds to purchase new appliances and household items to assist transition-age youths in need, including foster youths like UC Davis Guardian Scholars, as they move into their first independent living environment. Thanks to partners like Davis Sunrise Rotary Club, we can provide all of our referrals with furniture, household goods, move-in baskets and resources so they can care for themselves, become successful first-time renters and continue their studies.
