Vaccinations lag among 30-somethings and teenagers By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer

School board president Joe DiNunzio spoke of the attributes that this year's graduates embody, including "gratitude, resilience, and happiness." To which DiNunzio added "determination, and dependability." DiNunzio also referenced the late poet Maya Angelou, who wrote "Develop enough courage so that you can stand up for yourself and then stand up for somebody else." The graduates included 31-year-old LeonDre Fields, who has a job with a medical office that provides phlebotomy services. (Phlebotomy involves

As the state prepares to end most COVID-related restrictions on businesses and activities next week, sizable numbers of Yolo County residents remain unvaccinated and thus unprotected from the virus. County residents in their early 30s are the least protected, with just 32 percent of those between the ages of 30 and 34 having received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, according to Yolo County Health Officer Dr. Aimee Sisson. Also at risk are 63 percent of 12- to 15-year-olds who have yet to receive a vaccine dose and 59 percent of 16- to 19-year-olds. Children under 12 also remain at risk until a vaccine is authorized for that age group. Sisson said Yolo County leads the greater Sacramento region in the proportion of residents vaccinated, but has now fallen behind the statewide average. Through Sunday, 55 percent of county residents had received at least one dose and 44 percent were fully vaccinated. Statewide, 55.4 percent have received at least one dose. On the other end of the spectrum in Yolo County are young adults ages 20 to 24, 81 percent of whom have received at least one vaccine dose, the same percentage as those 55 to 64. Meanwhile, 82 percent of those over 65 have received at least one dose. Given the proportion of residents here who have been vaccinated,

Here’s to persistence Davis Adult School celebrates grads who pushed through pandemic By Jeff Hudson Enterprise correspondent The Davis Adult School celebrated the achievement of four graduates — who completed all of the requirements for a high school diploma despite numerous distractions in this pandemic year — with a small, dignified ceremony on Monday evening in a conference room at the school district's administrative headquarters in downtown Davis.

Longtime Adult School principal Grace Sauser opened by noting that "this has truly been an unprecedented year," with the quick transition to distance learning back in March 2020, as the coronavirus surged. Sauser noted that many Adult School students had experienced this change in several ways — quite a few Adult School students are parents with school-age children, who were making the transition to

distance learning as well. In addition, many Adult School students have jobs, so they often study late into the night, completing "pages and pages of homework" in order to earn their diploma, Sauser said. She also mentioned the extra effort by the Adult School's small cadre of teachers, many of whom hold regular teaching positions in the school district during the day, and worked with their Adult School students via Zoom in the evenings. "Our graduation ceremony is small" this year, she added, "but our pride in you (our graduates) is big."

School district anticipates budget cuts UCD bolsters health and counseling services By Edward Booth Enterprise staff writer The Davis school board last week heard a presentation on the district’s proposed fiscal year 2021-22 budget, which is set to be adopted at the board’s next scheduled meeting on June 17. Amari Watkins, associate superintendent of business services, said the budget needs to be planned around Governor Gavin Newsom’s May budget proposal, and not the final state budget, as the two budgets have close deadlines to each other. Adjustments to the district will be made, she said, depending on how the state budget rolls out. If the changes to

VOL. 124 NO. 69

the state budget are significantly different than Newsom’s May proposal, there will likely be a special meeting in the summer to make adjustments, Watkins said. Though the current budget is operating with a small surplus, the proposed budget contains a multi-year projection that anticipates the district will be facing deficits over the next few years, and will need to cut $1.58 million from the 202223 budget and $1.04 million from the 2023-24 budget, Watkins said. Cuts aren’t required in the proposed budget for several reasons. For one, the district has maintained a cushion in the

The investment in counseling and mental health and wellness programs is direly needed, according to experts and advocates. Multiple studies in recent years have described a mental health “epidemic” on college campuses. In 2017, 65% of UC Davis undergraduates reported feeling overwhelming anxiety; 49%

said they were so depressed at some points they could not function; 16% seriously considered suicide; 9% intentionally self-harmed. While UC Davis has expanded its counseling services in recent years, the pandemic created new mental health challenges for many young people.

Briefly Hear history of Mare Island Jim Kern, executive director of the Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum since 1989, will give a virtual presentation on the history of Mare Island Naval Shipyard, starting at 10 a.m. Friday, June 25. This event is free and open to the public as part of the Solano County Genealogical Society’s celebration of its 40th anniversary. Mare Island Naval Shipyard was the first United States naval base on the West Coast. Established in 1854, the shipyard played an enormous part in Vallejo history and was once one of the busiest shipyards in the world. It closed in 1996 and has been open to the public since 2004. The museum, in Vallejo’s historic Old City Hall, has five galleries devoted to the history of Vallejo and Mare Island, including a working submarine periscope. Email the society at scgs@scgsca.org no later than 4 p.m. Thursday, June 24, to request an invitation. More information is at www.scgsca.org.

We’ve got four tickets to paradise H ONORING OUR SENIORS ... When the Davis Joint Unified School District agreed to switch from online graduation ceremonies to in-person for high school seniors in town, it was in recognition of our improving COVID-19 numbers. It also recognized just how important in-person graduation is to members of the senior class. Each senior is allowed four tickets for family or friends, which obviously leaves a number of people out, even if the reasoning is understandable. Since then, however, more and more people have been vaccinated, but unfortunately not enough to drop Yolo County into a more favorable tier that would have allowed more family and friends to attend the graduation. Of course, tiers are supposed to disappear entirely come June 15, but no one is suggesting we postpone graduation until after that date. Rumors that Woodland had gone to six tickets per student were just that: rumors. Schools in Woodland are under the same restrictions and guidelines as schools in Davis.

I applaud the DJUSD administration for trying to make things as normal as possible in a clearly abnormal year. Go Blue Devils. SPEAKING OF GOOD IDEAS ... As the parent of a Davis High School athlete, I had the good fortune to be in attendance when the Blue Devil boy’s volleyball team traveled to Cosumnes Oaks in Elk Grove for a Delta League matchup. Turns out it was the last home game — ever — for several seniors on the Cosumnes Oaks roster, so they were appropriately recognized in front of the home crowd before the game with small gifts, followed by courtside photos with their families.

City urges locals to conserve water By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer

For the record

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 2021

Davis residents are being urged to continue conserving water now that Yolo County has been included in the governor’s revised drought emergency declaration. “With two dry years of precipitation and current forecasts predicting continued dry weather, the city will need to rely on groundwater supplies more heavily as surface water from the Sacramento River is more limited in summer months and extended dry periods,” the city said in a press release Tuesday. Along with asking residents to continue their ongoing water conservation efforts, the city also reminded its water customers that there are mandatory restrictions that have remained in place since the drought emergency declared by the state several years ago. Those restrictions include: n No watering outdoors between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. n No watering during periods of rain or for 48 hours after measurable rainfall n No excessive water flow or runoff onto pavement, gutters or ditches n No washing down paved surfaces unless for safety or sanitation The full list of restrictions on water use can be found at www.Save DavisWater.org ... Click on “Drought Information and Water Use Restrictions” on the right side of the page. Although the city’s water supplies (via a conjunctiveuse system of surface water and groundwater) are stable, water conservation can help to reduce water demands citywide, and ensure that resources are being used as efficiently as possible, the city said. “Water from the city’s deep aquifer wells is similar in hardness and other mineral levels to the surface water,” the press release said. “Differences in hardness and other mineral levels between the surface water and groundwater wells may be

collegiate athletics and they are greatly appreciated by athletes and fans alike. But then came the surprise. “We’d now like to honor the seniors from Davis High School,” said the Cosumnes Oaks PA announcer. And one by one, as their names were called, Davis High’s seniors stepped forward to receive a small gift and a warm round of applause. It was a gesture of kindness and sportsmanship I haven’t witnessed before. And one that I hope becomes much more common.

OTTERY MADNESS ... Last Friday our beloved governor turned carnival barker while selecting 15 $50,000 winners in the California vaccination lottery. Unlike the smart state of Oregon, which is guaranteeing a $10,000 winner in each of the state’s 36 counties, California has no restrictions on the residency of each winner. As a result, we had three winners each from Santa Clara County, San Diego County and Los Angeles County, two from San Francisco County and one each from Mendocino, San Luis Obispo, Alameda and Orange counties.

So, doing the math in a state with 40 million people, the governor just thrilled 15 lucky individuals and greatly disappointed 39,999,985 others. This Friday the governor will draw the names of another 15 lucky winners and 39,999,970 folks will be disappointed a second time. Hardly a winning strategy to defeat a recall election. AMERICAN AIRLINES: NO BOOZE FOR THE UNWASHED MASSES ... Because things can get downright nasty in the unfriendly skies, the folks at American Airlines have introduced a bit of class warfare by banning alcohol sales for those sitting in Economy Class. I guess you can call it the Blue Collar Booze Ban. According to an internal AA memo, “Alcohol will continue to be offered in premium cabins (First, Business Class)” But, of course. As we all know, the rich and famous and highly privileged can hold their alcohol much better than the peasants in the back of the plane. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

Women jailed for having stolen items By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff

noticeable at times but continues to meet all water quality requirements.” Meanwhile, with multiple dry year conditions and the increased water demands over the spring and summer months for irrigation use, “it is especially important that irrigation systems are checked thoroughly for leaks and other issues,” the city noted. n Faulty irrigation systems are a significant contributor to outdoor leaks, and functioning systems can be set incorrectly, leading to unnecessary water runoff.” The city recommends the following steps for checking sprinkler systems: n Inspect: For spray irrigation, check that spray heads are not missing or cracked. For drip irrigation, look for cracks and holes in the drip line and for any missing or clogged emitters. A hole as small as the tip of a pen can waste 6,300 gallons of water per month. n Connect: Check that all hoses and pipes are connected well. n Direct: Check that water is staying on your landscape and not running onto paved surfaces. n Select: Consider installing a WaterSense labeled irrigation controller. During the spring and summer months, the city advises that residents not forget to deep water trees as needed, depending upon the age of the tree. Young and mature trees have different watering needs. Learn more on the city’s urban forestry webpage at: www.CityofDavis.org/ City-Hall/Urban-Forestry City water customers can also sign up for AquaHawk, a water-use portal, to track daily and hourly water usage and to set customized usage alerts. Visit www.SaveDavisWater.org and click on the link for "WaterUse Portal" to learn more about how AquaHawk can help find leaks in the irrigation system as well as other potential leaks in and around the property.

A routine traffic stop Sunday led to the arrests of two women who allegedly had multiple stolen items, including dozens of unemployment benefit debit cards in other people’s names, Davis police said. An officer reported seeing methamphetamine lying in plain sight during the 6:15 p.m. stop along Second Street and determined that both occupants

of the vehicle were on searchable probation, according to a Davis Police Department Facebook post. “Officers conducted a search of the Honda and located a .40-caliber semiautomatic handgun, which was later determined to have been stolen, more than 90 grams of suspected methamphetamine and evidence of drug sales, stolen mail, United States Postal Service mailbox

keys, identification and credit/debit information and state EDD debit cards belonging to over 60 different people from four counties,” the post said. Both women, identified as Rheanna Elizabeth Gomez, 25, of Davis; and 43-year-old Deborah Anna Benegar of Fairfield; were booked into the Yolo County Jail on multiple charges including unlawful drug and weapon possession.

Melendez allegedly took off when the officer tried to pull him over, but soon lost control of the motorcycle and crashed near the intersection of Highway 113 and East Main Street.

A motorcycle ride to Woodland ended badly Monday night for a Sacramento man who crashed his bike following a police pursuit, according to police. Woodland police Sgt. Dallas Hyde said 28-year-old Joseph Edward Melendez came to an officer’s attention at about 8:30 p.m. after gunning his motorcycle up to 80 mph in the residential area of Donnelly

“Luckily, nobody in the community was injured by this string of bad choices including Mr. Melendez, who was arrested and booked at the Yolo County Jail,” Hyde said.

Man arrested on weapon, domestic violence charges By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer Davis police jailed a 31-year-old man Monday after he allegedly attacked his partner in their home. Lt.

allegedly brandished a knife and struck the victim in the head with a frying pan as he tried to leave through a back door. Police were summoned

to the scene and took Nicholas Jordan Mora into custody on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and domestic violence, Munoz said.

What things are OK to go down the drain? Special to The Enterprise

Environmental update

e’ve complied some of the most frequently asked questions we get regarding what should and shouldn’t go down the drain. If you have a question that you feel would be of interest to the community, please email it to PWWeb@CityofDavis.org, and you may see it featured in an upcoming column, Greener Davis e-blast, on our website or in a social media post. Find out more at www.GreenerDavis.org. Q. Where does the water go when it goes down the sink, shower or toilet? A. It goes through a large system of underground pipes (using gravity) and pump stations (when the gravity needs help) to get to the city’s wastewater treatment plant about 5 miles north of the city center. Q. I have extra medications that I don’t need anymore. Is it ok to flush them down the toilet? A. No! Wastewater treatment methods, even the recently upgraded treatment that occurs at the treatment plant, do not remove medications from the water. To

prevent environmental contamination, prescription and over-the-counter medication should never be flushed down a toilet (or thrown in the trash). Instead, take the medications to one of the dropoff locations listed below for safe disposal: n Yolo County Central Landfill Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Facility, 44090 County Road 28H, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. every Friday and Saturday ; n UC Davis Clinic Pharmacy, 2660 W Covell Blvd., 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday (closed 12:45 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.); n UCD Police Department, 625 Kleiber Hall Drive, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday; n City of Davis Police Department, 2600 Fifth St., 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and every other Friday; and n Kaiser Permanente Davis MOB Pharmacy, 1955 Cowell Blvd., 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Q. If I run hot water, can I pour fats, oils and grease down the drain?

By Sandra Macomb

A. No, that’s not a good idea. What might seem like liquid when you’re done cooking can solidify when poured down the drain. Pouring hot water or soap down the drain will not help. In fact, it can only break up the grease temporarily. Fats, oils and grease build up on the walls of sewer pipes and block the plumbing, which can lead to sewer backups in homes and onto streets. Clogged sewer lines can lead to expensive plumbing maintenance for you and the city. Instead, wait until the fats, oils and grease are cool, then soak up small amounts with paper towels and place the towels in the organics bin. Save larger amounts to recycle for free at the Household Hazardous Waste facility at the landfill. Q. Is it OK to put food scraps down the garbage disposal? A. It’s okay, but it’s not the best idea. While your garbage disposal may be able to handle food scraps, sewer pipes are meant to convey liquids with only a small amount of solids. With people continuing to conserve water at home (way to go Davis!), there is often less water going

Thousands of spider wasps at Bohart By Kathy Keatley Garvey Special to The Enterprise Thousands of spider wasps or spider-hunting wasps are now right at home at the UC Davis Bohart Museum of Entomology. Specimens, that is. The Bohart Museum recently received a massive donation of more than 50,000 aculeate wasp specimens, primarily spider wasps, from the estate of renowned wasp expert Marius Wasbauer (1928-2021) of Brookings, Ore., a retired senior scientist and systematist at the California Department of Food and Agriculture. Spider wasps belong to the family Pompilidae, and are aculeate (stinging) wasps. Most spider wasps (also known as spider-hunting wasps) capture, sting and paralyze their prey. The worldwide family is comprised of some 5,000 described species in six subfamilies. “A U-Haul was needed to transport the collection from Brookings to Davis last weekend,” said Bohart Museum director and UC Davis distinguished professor Lynn Kimsey. Wasbauer, who died in the spring, was a global expert on spider wasps and a scientific collaborator with Kimsey. He was a member of the Bohart Museum Society and a strong supporter of the museum. “The donation consists of a diversity of aculeate wasps but 95 percent

are spider wasps (Pompilidae), an estimated 50,000 specimens from all over the world, in 180 drawers, in 13 24-drawer cabinets,” Kimsey said. “This is material he had been accumulating since the 1960s.” Wasbauer studied entomology and biosystematics at UC Berkeley, where he received his bachelor’s degree and doctorate (1958). “Like many entomologists of his generations,” Kimsey said, “Marius was an instructor in preventive medicine in the U.S. 7th Army Medical Service at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.” He joined the California Department of Food and Agriculture as a systematist in September 1958. His CDFA career spanned 34 years. “He published nearly 50 papers in wasp taxonomy and the biology of a diversity of insects,” Kimsey noted. “His taxonomic research focused on several groups of aculeate wasps, including Pomplidae, nocturnal Tiphiidae and myromosid wasps. Other studies included walnut serpentine leaf miners, tephritid fruit flies, bumblebees and even crane flies.” Wasbauer was a fellow of the California Academy of Sciences; president and secretary of the Pacific Coast Entomological Society; research associate with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service, a member of Sigma Xi, the scientific research honor society; a

member of the Biosystematists Society; and a research associate at UC Davis. “He was generous with his time, and worked with many scientists and students around the world,” Kimsey said. “However, aside from his family and wasps, his other greatest love was fishing.” Marius and his wife, Joanne, longtime supporters of the Bohart Museum, frequently offered annual challenge grants of $5,000, matching donations of other donors up to $5,000. They hoped to inspire others to give. The Wasbauers participated in a Bohart Museum Bioblitz to Belize in 2017, a trip led by entomologists David Wyatt, a professor at Sacramento City College, and Fran Keller, now a professor at Folsom Lake College. Keller, who holds a doctorate in entomology from UC Davis, is a Bohart Museum research associate. A trio of entomologists — Lynn Kimsey and her husband, forensic entomologist Robert Kimsey of the Department of Entomology and Nematology; and Bohart Museum research associate Brennen Dyer — prepared a space in the Bohart for the large donation. They unloaded the truck with Kimsey friends, retired Placer County Sheriff Mike Whitney and his wife, Becky. The Bohart is temporarily closed due to COVID-19 pandemic.

CreekSpeak to feature sustainable transportation Special to The Enterprise CreekSpeak, Putah Creek Council’s six-month series of community talks about the nature, culture and history of the region, continues at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 17, with a Zoom presentation reimagining California’s transportation system The talk, “Reducing Car Dependence,” features insights from UC Davis professor Susan Handy. Cars provide an unparalleled level of mobility but have negative financial, public health, environmental and social impacts. Reducing the need for driving in California would produce a range of household- and communitylevel benefits, including improved health and financial savings for households and the public sector. A less car-dependent society would also be more equitable for those with limited income or limited physical abilities who cannot drive. While it is not realistic in the foreseeable future for most Californians to live without their cars, it is possible to decrease car dependence. Doing so requires a shift away from a centuryold prioritization of the goal of reducing vehicle delays over other important goals. Join Putah Creek Council to learn more about how reducing car dependence can help achieve sustainability in our urban

down the drains. Lower volumes of water and increased solids from garbage disposals can lead to clogged sewer pipes, both in your home, and in the city’s underground sewer system. Besides — there’s a better option available! Instead of sending your food scraps to the Wastewater Treatment Plant, you can place them all in your brown-lidded organics cart so it can be turned into a beneficial nutrientrich compost. Q. Can I flush those “flushable” wipes down the toilet? A. No, please don’t. Flushable wipes are not flushable (even if the packaging states they are!). Wipes do not break down like toilet paper does in water; they typically maintain their structure, and when flushed down the toilet, they can cause major backups and clogs within the sewer lines. The toilet is not a trash can, so place wipes where they belong — in a real trash can. — Sandra Macomb is an environmental program specialist for the city of Davis.

Machines help grape industry deal with labor shortage By Amy Quinton Special to The Enterprise Wine-grape growers in California and elsewhere face increasing labor costs and severe labor shortages, making it difficult to manage and harvest a vineyard while maintaining profitability. Growers are increasingly turning to machines for pruning, canopy management and harvesting, but how well these practices are executed can substantially affect yield and quality. A new review by researchers at the UC Davis, published in the journal Catalyst, provides guidelines for growers to make the best use of machines. “Wine-grape laborers have been virtually nonexistent. People don’t want to work in vineyards anymore because it’s remote, tough work,” said Kaan Kurtural, professor of viticulture and enology and extension specialist at UC Davis. “There is now machinery available to do everything without touching a vineyard.” Kurtural has designed a “touchless” experimental vineyard at the UC Davis Oakville Station to help growers understand how machines can help them cope with the labor shortage. While machines reduce the need for seasonal manual labor, they do not eliminate it. The degree of labor reduction depends on growing region, grapevine type and the number of practices growers mechanize. The review provides guidance on using machines for winter pruning, canopy management and harvesting as well as how to design

a grape vineyard for machines before planting. Videos showing the operation of different types of machinery and practices can also be found in the review. About 90% of the wine grapes crushed in the U.S. are mechanically harvested. Previous studies have found about a 50% savings in labor costs from using machines to harvest instead of hand harvesting. “Using more mechanization in a vineyard beyond just harvesting can also reduce labor costs without affecting grape quality.” Kurtural said. The review was coauthored by Matthew Fidelibus, viticulture extension specialist at UC Davis. Financial support for the research came from the American Vineyard Foundation and Bronco Wine Company. — UC Davis News

Why should businesses be LGBTQ+ inclusive? Special to The Enterprise As part of June is Pride Month, Davis Phoenix Coalition volunteers are distributing rainbow-flag posters to businesses that want to show their support for the LGBTQ+ community. But the nonprofit also is giving businesses real tools and training to back up the sentiment. On May 27, the Davis Chamber of Commerce hosted Anoosh Jorjorian for a 25-minute recorded presentation. In it, she outlined the reasons why inclusivity is important in the business climate. Why? Because “upholding civil rights is just the right thing to do,” said Jorjorian, who identifies herself as an AsianAmerican gender-fluid queer person who uses she/they pronouns. Her firm Inclusive Futures Consulting offers workshops and training on race, gender identities, immigration and ability. It’s partnering with the Davis Phoenix Coalition to provide the training. First off, LGBTQ+ is an acronym for

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transexual, Queer — plus other identities like intersex. When business owners and employees take the Safe Zone training, they learn how to be more welcoming to LGBTQ+ people, and how to make JORJORIAN them more comfortable. SafeZone Businesses will earn a certrainer tificate and a window sticker for completing the two-hour training — done at their convenience. Davis Phoenix Coalition’s mission is to ensure that all members of the community feel safe and welcomed. She said, “This is our opportunity to build a bridge between local businesses and members of our community that can still feel alienated or unsafe in our town, and to make everyone feel more connected.” Even well-intentioned establishments need awareness about inclusivity, she said. Those who deal with the public may think

they are being inclusive but may still make LGBTQ+ people feel misunderstood, excluded, or — worse — threatened. She’s also heard concern that outward display of this sentiment could in some way be detrimental to business. “Not only is not harmful to your business, it may … be extremely beneficial.” She cited some reasons why: n The LGBTQ+ economy is a big part of the economic future, as more young people identify as gender nonconforming. Some 27 percent of California youths ages 13 to 17 say their peers see them as gendernonconforming, Jorjorian said, citing statistics from a 2017 UCLA study. n The community’s consumer buying power was estimated to be more than $917 billion in 2017 — and growing. If they are not welcoming to this community, they are turning their backs on a powerful economic driver that includes friends, families and allies of people who are LGBTQ+. And, according to Harvard Business

Review, LGBTQ+ companies excel at attracting and retaining top talent, and winning and retaining the loyalty of discerning consumers. One example of this is Target, which faced pushback in 2010 when the company donated to a political candidate who was vocally against marriage equality. It quickly reversed course, standing firm on bathroom use by transgender people, selling Pride merchandise, and becoming known for its friendly workplace. “By establishing that reputation and having this tradition every year, this is a place our community keeps coming back to, year after year,” Jorjorian said.

Rainbows hit the road for Davis Pride 2021 Special to The Enterprise Rainbow crosswalks, live music, drag queens and skating are all on the calendar as Davis celebrates June is Pride Month. The Davis Pride Festival will be Sunday, June 13, in Central Park, 401 C St., Davis. Several activities lead up to and follow that celebration: The popular rainbow crosswalks were painted around Central Park on Sunday, May 30. Meanwhile, the city hung Davis Pride rainbow banners throughout town, on display throughout June. The Davis City Council passed a resolution allowing the rainbow flag to be flown at City Hall as well. Business owners are asked to show their support by hanging rainbow flag posters in their windows. Posters are free, and available by emailing admin@davisphoenixco.org. A Rainbow Skate Party is set for 7 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, June 12, in Central Park. Inline and roller-skating participants are welcome to roll to DJ music in an area that will be fenced off under the Davis Farmers Market pavilion. Those wearing rainbow gear will be eligible to win prizes. Davis Pride teams up with the Davis Craft and Vintage Market for the Davis Pride Festival on Sunday, June 13. The festival will have entertainment from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., including live bands and a drag queen revue. The craft market, traditionally on the first Sunday of the month, is returning for a second market this month. Health guidelines require participants to have tickets and assigned seating to attend the show. Tickets are free, with donations accepted. On Friday, June 25, rainbows will light up the monthly Bike Party Davis ride. Participants will gather at 7 p.m. at the north end of Central Park. The ride will go from 7 to 8 p.m. on an easy, 8-mile loop through town. In honor of the late Cathy Speck, the best-decorated bicycle will win a “Specktacular” gift basket of swag from a local bike shop. June is National Pride Month. Davis festivities are traditionally celebrated in May, when UC Davis students are still in school. With most Aggies doing online learning, this year’s celebration is in June. The 2020 event was virtual. Other Davis groups or individuals planning pride activities in June are asked to contact Davis Pride at to collaborate. Email admin@davisphoenixco.org.

Davis Pride is produced by the Davis Phoenix Coalition, a nonprofit that works to foster diversity, eliminate intolerance, prevent hate-motivated violence and support LGBTQ+ youths. The coalition was founded in the aftermath of a 2013 anti-gay attack on Davis resident “Mikey” Partida. Proceeds from Davis Pride support the coalition’s anti-racism and anti-bullying campaigns, give a boost to LGBTQ+ youths and their families, and provide outreach with area police departments, churches, businesses and schools.

SCHOOL: Enrollment declining From Page A1 form of a 5.3% reserve, though that reserve is estimated to drop to just above the state-mandated 3% level over the next few years. Additionally, the district has been temporarily boosted with one-time funding for taking on COVID-19. And next year’s cost of living adjustment (COLA) for the state’s Local Control Funding Formula — the primary way school districts are funded — is planned to be 5.07% to make up for the lack of a COLA this year. Other major considerations include that pension funds continue to increase in cost, and that the district’s funding from student enrollment, through a formula known as Average Daily Attendance, is being calculated at pre-COVID rates. California schools as a whole are experiencing declining enrollment, which fell by 160,000 students, or 3%, this year. The Davis school board heard a presentation in March this

year about the district’s declining enrollment, which has been generally offset by increasing the number of non-resident students in Davis schools. On average, since 20052006, the district has lost 76 resident students and gained 56 non-resident students each year. Watkins said it’s still unknown what the ultimate effects of the pandemic will be on student enrollment when school starts back up in the fall. In a question asked during the March presentation, Watkins noted that the district’s decline of roughly 300 students from the 2019-20 school year to 2020-21 adds up to a loss of roughly $3 million in state funding. Trustee Tom Adams asked Watkins whether it would be accurate to characterize the district’s budget as “short-term rich and long-term poor,” which Watkins affirmed. Adams said that even if the COLA increases, the rising costs will continue to undercut those increases, if not

exceed them. “So in essence we have a smaller pie to work with,” Adams said. “That’s really why in the out years things look difficult for us.” Board president Joe DiNunzio said the rising costs of pensions continues to be a huge challenge for the district and other school districts across the state. “As we move to the next two outyears, based on what we know today, we are in a situation where we are going to need to make $2.6 million in reductions between 22-23 and 23-24,” DiNunzio said. “Things can change, but part of why we have the reserve that we have that’s currently at 5.5% is we’ve seen this for a few years now so we’ve done our best to try and save a little bit for a rainy day to try to mitigate the impact of the deficit spending.” — Reach Edward Booth at edward.booth@ mcnaughton.media.

VACCINATIONS: Shots lessen risk From Page A1 Sisson said she does not expect to see a spike in cases after the state eliminates its color-coded, tier-based blueprint and lifts restrictions on June 15, but she noted that the risk to those who are unvaccinated remains. “The majority of cases that are occurring now are among people who are unvaccinated,” she said. “I want to remind everyone that while the blueprint framework will go away on June 15, COVID-19 will still be with us. “Those who are vaccinated,” she said, “with the exception of those with compromised immune systems, will be highly protected against COVID and can safely participate in nearly all activities. “However, people who do not have immunity against COVID, namely those who are unvaccinated, will remain at risk of infection, hospitalization and death. “That is why I continue to strongly recommend that everyone ages 12 and over get vaccinated against COVID. The vaccine is the best way to protect yourself against COVID and get back to normal safely.” Yolo County residents will get their first taste of that “normal” next Tuesday when capacity restrictions and physical distancing requirements will be lifted in most

settings and the state is expected to revise its rules on face masks, allowing vaccinated individuals to go without except in some circumstances. However, workplaces will have different rules under new standards from CalOSHA. Under those standards, effective June 15, face coverings will be required in indoor workplaces unless every person in a room is fully vaccinated and physical distancing will continue to be required for all workers — vaccinated or not — unless the employer provides N95 respirators for voluntary use. In businesses like stores, workers will have to continue to wear masks, Sisson said, but customers will not have to. “Cal-OSHA only applies to the workers,” she noted. Meanwhile, the state on Tuesday unveiled its final tier update, one which saw a handful of counties move to the least restrictive yellow tier. Yolo County met the metrics for the yellow tier on Tuesday but has to do so for two consecutive weeks in order to move forward. Instead, the county will remain in orange, skip yellow altogether and reopen along with the rest of the state next week. — Reach Anne Ternus-Bellamy at aternus@davisenterprise.net.

PERSISTENCE: Future opens up From Page A1 puncturing a vein in order to draw blood for testing or medical treatment). Fields came onboard in the medical office’s billing department, but the company also provides employees with the opportunity to take a course and learn more about phlebotomy, which Fields has completed. Fields enrolled in the Adult School in order to finish his high-school diploma, so that he can go on to enroll in college courses, with the long-term goal of becoming a phlebotomist himself. Another reason for enrolling in the Adult School, Fields added, was to set a good example for

his 6-year-old daughter, whom he spoke of fondly. The soft-spoken, quietly intense Fields acknowledged that it was “hard to start” studying and doing homework once again at this point in his life. “But I’m glad I decided to do it. And the (Adult School) teachers were perfect. They let me know that (earning a diploma) was an accomplishable goal.” Principal Sauser presented Fields with a $500 scholarship to support his studies at the next level, and suggested that maybe he could return to the Adult School occasionally as a speaker, and talk to other students about what it was like to

COUNSELING: More critical than ever From Page A1 Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 have experienced poor mental health resulting from the pandemic. “Mental health and self care are more critical than ever, and feedback received from students and student leaders throughout this past year has been vital in helping us develop bold, new programming,” Pablo Reguerín, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs at UC Davis, said last week in a press release. “This plan will also better position us to serve the wellness needs holistically in both clinical and non-clinical environments.” According to Student Affairs, the addition of eight new counselors will improve access to counseling services by increasing the number of available counseling appointments and decreasing wait times for counseling services. Additionally, Student Health and Counseling Services is hiring more diverse counseling staff “who will bring unique specializations to better address the needs of our changing student body,” Reguerín said. Those specializations include counselors who will work with the African diaspora, international

students, Middle Easter, North African and South Asian student communities and neurodivergent students. Counselors will also provide bilingual and bicultural therapy in Spanish and Mandarin. New funding has also been allocated to expand on-campus psychiatry services and to hire three new psychiatrists. “To address mental health campuswide, I have also convened the Mental Health Task Force comprised of students, staff and faculty from across the campus who are meeting regularly to develop a coordinated and comprehensive approach to promoting student mental health, preventing the exacerbation of existing mental health problems and suicide prevention,” Reguerín said. Focuses of the task force will include sharing information through social networks, helping students develop life skills, identifying students at risk, empowering students to seek help and increasing access to services. In the spirit of a holistic approach to mental health, Student Affairs is making several changes that will expand Campus Recreation offerings and make these programs more accessible. Beginning this fall,

safety courses — including first aid, self-defense and swim lessons — will be available to students at no charge. Campus Recreation will also offer more group exercise programming. Beginning July 1, Campus Recreation will cover the cost of certification for students wanting to teach Campus Rec classes. “This will remove the financial barrier for student instructors and help Campus Rec expand our workforce for Group Exercise, Personal Training, Outdoor Adventures and Aquatics,” Reguerín said. “Campus Recreation has a long-standing tradition of student-empowerment and training to operate its facilities, programs and courses. These new investments will further enhance student development opportunities.” Lastly, Student Affairs is increasing the Campus Recreation fee waiver program budget from $60,000 to $100,000. “This will help to ensure that cost is not a barrier to participation in fitnessrelated classes and Rec Sports for our students,” Reguerín said. — Reach Caleb Hampton at champton@ davisenterprise.net.

County to administer COVID vaccines at homes and businesses By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer COVID-19 vaccines remain easy to come by in Yolo County. In addition to three first-dose clinics scheduled this week in Davis and Woodland, the county is offering to deliver and administer vaccines to local residents at their homes or businesses in certain areas of the county. Residents of Esparto, Dunnigan, Guinda, Woodland and West Sacramento who are age 12 and older can call 530666-8665 to schedule an appointment between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. at their homes or businesses on the following days: June 9: Esparto, Dunnigan and Guinda June 10-12: Woodland

June 13-15: West Sacramento These locations were chosen because they lag behind the countywide average of residents who have been vaccinated. “I am very excited to offer this opportunity for Yolo County residents to get vaccinated wherever is most convenient to them,” said Dr. Aimee Sisson, Yolo County’s health officer. “Residents may face barriers to getting vaccinated at existing clinic locations, and this program eliminates many of those barriers,” she said. “For example, if you are a single mom with kids at home all day, we will bring the vaccine to you at home. If you can’t take time off of work to get vaccinated, we will bring the

vaccine to you at work. Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 has never been easier.” For those who can visit vaccine clinics, the county is offering two more options this week: n Today from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Health and Human Services Agency Bauer building, 137 N Cottonwood St., in Woodland. This is a drive-thru clinic that will be offering the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. n Sunday, June 13, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Holy Rosary Church, 301 Walnut St., in Woodland. Both the Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines will be available. For more vaccine options, visit MyTurn.ca. gov or call 1-833-4224255

Other Adult School graduates this year were Luiz Ramirez, Jazmin Roberts, and Madison Cooper. All five Davis school board trustees — who face a gantlet of five high-school graduation ceremonies this week — were on hand for the occasion.

Get out there and enjoy the summer S

ol Omnibus Lucet. Those are the words that appear as shadows on the side of the East Area Water Tank. In English, the words mean “The sun shines upon us all,” and every year around the Summer Solstice they grace the sides of the tank. I know this because a few years ago Bob and I planned a picnic with our family and our friends, Gina and Bill, to celebrate the start of summer in the field just east of the tank on June 21. (The Summer Solstice this year occurs on June 20.) We waved at the passing trains, watched the kids play Wiffle Ball with dirt clods, ate chicken kabobs, drank good wine, watched the strawberry moon rise in the sky and basically had the time of our lives, right up to the moment the Yolo County Sheriff showed up. It was an event to remember and one that we recommend you try as June 20 approaches. In fact, if you like that story, I have some other ideas for a summer full of fun and laughter. I can’t guarantee that the sheriff will show up, but I promise a good time anyway. DUELING BANJOS … Just because every campsite in the United States is reserved through September doesn’t mean you can’t go camping. The Missouri River and the trail of Lewis and Clark are calling. Reserve a canoe from Missouri River Outfitters, drive to Fort Benton, Mont., and spend a week on the water. You’ll find 150 miles of beautiful land to camp and hike, no reservations needed. To learn more, read my column from last August: davisenterprise.com/ feature/features/food-anddrink/humble-pieheadingTAKE A HIKE …Hike the Capay Valley (Road 53 to the Pierce Canyon Falls). Some of the neighbors don’t seem to like Davis folks, as evidenced by graffiti on the cattle crossing at the start of the hike, so be sure to wear

your Dixon Rams or Woodland Wolves T-shirt. FREE ICE WATER ... When the temperature tops 90 degrees, fill your cooler with Popsicles and cans of ice-cold soda and deliver them to the folks working on our city roads and in the tomato fields. If you have any left, toss them to random people walking their dogs or playing in the park. PEACHY KEEN … When you’re done delivering popsicles and soda, treat yourself to a fresh peach milkshake at Whitey’s Jolly Kone in West Sacramento (1300 Jefferson Blvd.). Any ice cream joint that spells cone with a “k” is going to be good. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ... Spend a morning handing out cupcakes to people standing in line outside the DMV. Tell them “Happy birthday!” (Drivers’ licenses expire on birthdays, forcing people to go to the DMV to renew. Chances are good that the DMV visitor just celebrated or will soon be celebrating a birthday. They will be astounded that you knew they were having a birthday and they’ll smile at the treat). MERRY CHRISTMAS! ... When you get together with those cousins you see only every other summer, but never at Christmas, do this: Plan a surprise Christmas in July. When everyone goes to sleep, set up an artificial Christmas tree with lights and your favorite ornaments. Put wrapped presents for everyone under the tree. Play Christmas music. When everyone wakes up, open presents in your pajamas and then have a big holiday breakfast together. If you want to take it to another level, cook a turkey and pay your neighbor kids to ring the

Continue north on the frontage road for a couple of miles to the Mezger family’s zinnia patch. Fill up your jars with flowers and deliver them to Courtyard Healthcare, Pine Tree Gardens or to a neighbor who could use cheering up. Flowers are planted and will be ready for cutting in mid-June. Oh, yeah, the flowers are free. PLAN AHEAD … Make a decision right now to build a float for the Picnic Day Parade on April 23, 2022. It’s not too early to gather your co-workers, your neighbors, your church friends or your favorite nonprofit volunteers and make some plans. Email me at dunningsm@gmail.com with the subject line Parade Float and I’ll send you the parade entry application when it becomes available in January. TO BE YOUNG AND IN LOVE … Prepare an

elegant picnic dinner for someone you love. Set it up in the Elliot Weir Redwood Grove in the UC Davis Arboretum. There are picnic tables along the creek and parking close enough to transport your dinner. Bring a linen tablecloth, (batteryoperated) candles and something sparkly to drink. When you’re done, walk through the arboretum holding hands. BUY ME SOME PEANUTS AND CRACKER JACK … When your favorite baseball team is on a 10-game losing streak, take a break and head up to Marysville to the cutest little minor-league baseball field in the world. Every Thursday through Sunday evening, you can watch the Yuba Sutter Gold Sox take on the likes of the Walnut Creek Crawdads, the Lincoln Potters or the West Coast Kings. America’s pastime at its best. ONE TOMATO, TWO TOMATO … In August, when the trucks full of ripe tomatoes are rumbling up and down Road 102, take a load of neighborhood kids out to a tomato field. Watch as the huge

harvester rocks its way through the rows of plants, pulling up whole tomato vines. The vines, tomatoes, dirt and all, bounce along on a conveyor belt where workers pull out debris, freeing the tomatoes to head up a chute where they are launched into the air and then tumble into the accompanying trailer. If you want the full experience, go late at night and bring a big bag of burgers to the hungry workers (FYI, the night shift gets a lunch break at midnight). AHOY, MATEY … Visit the Pirate Supply Store where you’ll find all your pirate supply needs in one convenient place at 826 Valencia in San Francisco. It’s incredibly clever and all proceeds benefit the youth writing program that happens every day after school behind the store. Fun for kids and adults. You can pick up a cool new eye patch, a jar of Eye of Newt, plank by the foot and choose from a series of pirate self-help books that will explain such things as management consequences of beard style, other uses for citrus and new recipes for hardtack.

RHYMES WITH LOOSE DOLLAR … Just up the road from Davis, a half-mile or so west of Pedrick Produce, is our new favorite place to be. Ruhstaller Farm celebrated its grand opening in March, but when you go, you’ll feel like it’s been there forever. As you walk up the boardwalk through the hop yard and toward the taproom, it feels a little bit like leaving the world behind. It’s a working farm with walnut orchards, fruit trees, homegrown hops, cats and dogs … and beer. There’s a straw-bale fort and a sandbox for the kids. You can play cornhole with your friends, dance with your grandma and explore with your kids. And, at the end of the day, with a cold beer in your hand, you can put your feet up and watch the sky turn a million shades of orange as the sun sets behind the coast range. And you can thank your lucky stars and the powers that be for summer and fun and the fact that we get to live in this great Central Valley where the sun shines upon us all. — Shelley Dunning is a Davis resident and a mom of four.

Ruminations about prospective travel

y dearest friend and I are contemplating a trip to Maui. We are excited about getting out of town and putting some significant distance between dear old Davis and ourselves at least for a short time. Except for a brief business trip to San Diego in early March 2020, we have not flown since we got back from South America last February. Together we have made a few short sallies by car into the countryside around Tahoe, Napa, Santa Cruz and Mendocino but for the last 14 months, we have engaged in nothing like our normal level of travel. I might be excited about such a trip, but I do not look forward to it with unalloyed joy. We have been so careful about potential exposure to COVID infection in crowded places that this return to air travel is an enormous step forward that takes us out of our comfort zone. It seems that airports and airlines and aircraft are back to the bustle of pre-COVID times. That bustle is perfectly OK when one

is used to it and expects it and knows how to navigate it by long practice. But it’s another kettle of fish to be a reconstructed naïf suddenly at sea in unfamiliar crowds one has intentionally avoided for a long time. It’s not just the idea of crowds, which curiously I find intrinsically intimidating; it’s also for concern about who might be in it. I’m OK with vaccinated folk who wear a mask, but fear those who are not and do not. Nevertheless, I am somewhat reassured by Hawaii’s travel restrictions and testing requirements. Turns out that everyone travelling to Hawaii must have a negative COVID test before departure. The test must be done

by an approved agency using the NAAT (nucleic acid amplification test), which I guess is the same as the PCR test, considered the gold standard. An additional test may be required upon arrival, which makes sense to me as the NAAT test, while solid, gives historic data from a few days before travel. Anyone failing the test must enter mandatory quarantine for 10 days. There appears to be no requirement that travelers to Hawaii be vaccinated, but we shall carry our vaccination cards as extra security just in case there is a change of rules along the way. Ditto a good supply of masks. I have been viewing some TV newsreel shots of Memorial Day crowds at beaches and bars and barbecue with some misgivings, even dismay. Many behave as if everything is hunky-dory and that necessary COVID precautions are a thing of the past. Of course, our COVID situation is now much better than it was just a few months ago. The recommendations of the CDC reflect that improvement and, with luck

and due diligence, things will continue to improve. Unfortunately this optimism also allows folk to think the pandemic is over, at least in the space they themselves occupy, and that life should rapidly return to normal. It should not.

ew COVID cases continue to accumulate. There are currently about 50 new cases per 100,000 people per day as a national average, or over 30,000-plus total new daily cases nationwide. That is a vast improvement over figures some 10 times greater a few months ago. There is much to celebrate and, paradoxically as a result, much to lose if things should go sideways. If we can all behave in a reasonable manner we can sustain this improvement and with improving numbers for vaccinations, we will slowly work ourselves free of COVID. Unfortunately, I have no expectation of either reasonable behavior or of significant increase in vaccinations, neither of which we now observe. Hordes throw off their masks,

hug one another, fail to get the jab and head for the bars. So just within our own national population and with the virus we know, our behavior bespeaks another surge of cases maybe in the fall. To this we must add two other factors: the ability of the virus itself to change and for new variants to arise. I think one could even argue that the population of immune people puts evolutionary pressure on the virus and helps to select for more virulent variants. Hence the rush to “herd immunity.” And, as if that is not enough, the virus has shown a remarkable ability to travel to our shores. The scourge of the pandemic in places far from our own borders therefore remains a threat not to be taken lightly. As I now venture out into the wider world I remind myself that reasonable behavior and vaccination are still very good bets and I shall play my cards accordingly. — Reach Michael Lewis at lewiswales@me.com.

Yolo DA pledges to up diversions By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer The Yolo County District Attorney’s Office announced this week a policy shift stemming from its April launch of Commons, an online data transparency dashboard that tracks the county’s criminal caseload demographics from arrest to resolution. District Attorney Jeff Reisig said the changes include steps to ensure that more cases, particularly those involving people of color, are diverted out of the criminal justice system into alternative programs. In a news release Tuesday, the DA’s Office said that a person’s criminal history will no longer automatically disqualify a defendant from being referred to a diversion program, which allows offenders to participate in measures that remedy the behavior leading to their alleged offense and avoid a conviction, while still holding them accountable for their actions. This change is expected to increase case diversions to programs such as Neighborhood Court, Addiction Intervention Court and Mental Health Court by 15 to 20 percent, prosecutors say. “The Commons data portal shows us clear trends that could contribute to racial disparities in the criminal justice system,” Reisig said in the news release. “We can see in the data that people of color are disparately represented in cases referred to our office from our local law enforcement agencies. “Because criminal history is one of a number of factors determining diversion eligibility, people of color could be disproportionately denied the opportunity for their cases to be diverted before trial,” Reisig added. He also noted that victim input is always sought, and diversion won’t be offered in cases alleging domestic violence, driving under the influence, sexual assault or hate crimes. Tracie Olson, Yolo County public defender, called the move “a welcome change.” “This policy recognizes that individuals’ criminal histories can be the product of historical racism,” Olson said. “The next step is to reduce reliance on old convictions to justify current incarceration and to lengthen prison sentences.” Olson noted that the Yolo County Jail maintains an overrepresentation of Black men and women — 21.5 percent of the population,

while the county’s residents are 3 percent Black. “We simply haven’t made much progress since I talked about this last June,” Olson said. “However, I have reason to hope that this policy change is one of many more to come from the county’s criminal legal system.” Commons is the result of a partnership involving the DA’s Office, the Yolo County Multi-Cultural Community Council and Measures for Justice, a New York-based nonprofit and nonpartisan research organization that collects, validates and posts the information. View the portal at www.measuresforjustice. org/commons/yoloda. Through Commons, users can explore the types of cases referred to the DA’s Office, how many resulted in misdemeanor or felony charges being filed, and the demographics of those arrested, such as their race, age and gender. From there, the database also shows whether cases got dismissed, resolved with plea bargains or resulted in trial convictions or acquittals, as well as how long it took them to work their way through the system. Meanwhile, the DA’s Office cited a May 2017 report by the Quattrone Center for the Fair Administration of Criminal Justice, which found that “people of color involved in the criminal justice system often have pre-existing differences reflected in their criminal record based on previous encounters with the criminal justice system.” “This criminal history has a ripple effect that impacts how these individuals’ cases are handled by the justice system,” Reisig said. “In the past, people with prior records never made it to the starting line. Now, when my charging deputies review most cases to determine diversion eligibility, they won’t be focusing on the person’s criminal history. Down the road, Commons will tell us whether this new policy change made a difference.” The DA’s Office also pledged in May to introduce a race-blind charging manual that will redact identifying information, such as name and race, from police reports before prosecutors review them for charging decisions. — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenterprise. net.

Memories buried for the future

Birch Lane sixth-grade classes create a time capsule to capture their pandemic year By Owen Yancher and Edward Booth Enterprise staff writers Birch Lane Elementary students from Sally Palow and Lindsay Capitanich’s sixth-grade classes buried a time capsule last Wednesday in the school’s arboretum. Inside the jet-black PVCtube time capsule, students placed items they found representative of the 202021 academic year, including masks, hand sanitizer and labels of popular companies, such as Netflix and TikTok. “We also put in pictures of ourselves along with our (current) ages and heights,” sixth-grader Harper Pfeifer told The Enterprise. Also included were written predictions for what life will be like in the future and a list memorializing those who died in the past year. “This is such a wonderful and resilient group of students,” said Palow, an educator for the last half-century and teacher at Birch Lane since 2005. “We’ve had a lot of fun this school year (since returning) back to the classroom and this is one of those projects that they’ve had a blast working on.” Palow’s students also buried a mummified chicken, Wednesday, dubbed “Robert Downey Nugget Jr.” wrapping up a unit of study on ancient Egyptian culture. The class removed the bird’s innards and salted the carcass over the course of several weeks before bundling it in muslin and laying it to rest. As a group, the students decided they’ll unearth the capsule in just five years, in 2026. “They didn’t think any of us could make 100 years and considering my advanced age, they thought 50 years seemed a bit of a stretch too,” Palow, 73, explained. “So in five years, it’s breakfast on me when we dig it up,” Palow says. “By that time, they’ll all

be juniors in high school.” In an interview this week, Palow said she hopes the project will give students an opportunity to reflect back on this unusual school year. She said that includes how it was lifechanging for many people who lost friends or family members to COVID-19, how medical care workers came together and essentially put their personal lives aside to help out and how their own lives changed during the pandemic. Palow said she wanted the students to have a sense of humor about, for example, watching too many movies on Netflix, or the pets they got — ducks,

Palow added that she tried to mix in lightheartedness this year whenever possible. “For some of my kids it was kind of a dark period and we wanted to take a look at that and some of the nutty things we did as families and as schools to make things lighter for them,” Palow said. “And they’ve been wonderful, I have to say that I’m just so proud of them.” Palow, who will be

retiring this year, said she worked to cheer on her students throughout this rough year and encourage them to see learning can be fun. She added that her mother, who was a teenager during the Great Depression, would say that she had a happy time because kids who lived during the depression had learned how to make their own fun. Palow’s mother would tell her this, she said, whenever she was bored and moping around. If anything, Palow said, the pandemic has given everyone a new perspective: students and families have learned how to be comfortable with themselves, to take adventures in books, try out new activities or learn how to make their own fun. “(The time capsule) is all just to teach them to look back at their elementary years and have a smile and really pat themselves on the back for hanging in there in a difficult year,” Palow said. “The number one thing I have tried to drill into their little heads is that learning is fun. And lifelong learning is something you should really look forward to and be curious about. “Sometimes things are darn hard, but hang in there — you can do it.”

Newsom nearly hits the target

State needs to M offer free meals to all students By Mayra E. Alvarez Special to CalMatters

ll children should have the opportunities and resources they need to pursue their dreams. California public schools can foster those dreams, but not every child in California gets what they need at school. This year, our state has a critical opportunity to connect all students with nutritious school meals that support health and wellbeing. Throughout the pandemic, the federal government has issued temporary waivers allowing schools to serve meals free of charge to all children. Those meals, alongside other forms of COVID relief, have been essential for families to persevere through the worst of the pandemic. Nutritious meals from school are especially important to millions of California immigrant families who are systematically shut out of many other basic supports and services. The clock is ticking: federal school meals waivers will expire at the end of the coming school year. We must take action now to continue the fight against childhood hunger. California is poised for action. Gov. Gavin Newsom recently announced a budget proposal that includes $150 million in ongoing funding for schools to serve meals free of charge to all students through options such as the Community Eligibility Provision. The governor’s proposed investment means thousands of schools could serve free breakfast and lunch, connecting millions of children with the nutritious meals they need and leveraging more than $1 billion in federal funding. Now California’s legislative leaders must act boldly and seize the moment. A state investment to maximize Community Eligibility Provision would help more schools in under-resourced communities meet the fundamental needs of their students. Offering free meals to all students is necessary in a state like ours where the high cost of living means many children who experience hardship will never qualify for free or reduced-price meals under the usual nationwide income criteria. For all of us who work on behalf of children in California, this is a story we know all too well: California families make too much to qualify for public programs, but not enough to make ends meet.

aybe it was because of the constant harping by Republican candidates to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom in the upcoming recall election. Or maybe he would have done it anyway. But Newsom and the state government he heads are at long last moving to relieve one of the major causes of the homelessness that plagues almost all parts of California. People who canvass the homeless camps each year to get as accurate a count as possible have long reported that mental illness is one of the problem’s most important causes. Some semiofficial estimates place the mentally ill component of the homeless at about 20 percent. Others have it as high as 40 percent. This is not a new phenomenon: Since the capacity of many state mental hospitals was reduced or eliminated by then-Gov. Ronald Reagan in the early 1970s, the mentally ill often have had nowhere to live but in tents, cardboard boxes or (for the lucky among them) covered pickup trucks or aged motor homes. What is new is that state government is about to throw significant money at mental health. Sure, it’s a relatively minor part of Newsom’s $100 billion bigspending pandemic recovery plan, also designed to

help him fend off the ongoing campaign to recall him. But it’s still a total of about $6 billion, nearly half what Newsom proposes to spend on building new apartments and buying hotels and motels to create up to 46,000 homeless living units — if the targets are willing to participate. Half that housing will come with counseling services, too. It remains to be seen how many takers those programs will have. Meanwhile, if money can help solve problems, perhaps there will be a dent in the huge mental illness difficulties that have plagued marginal Californians for decades. Newsom’s plan includes $2.45 billion for new or renewed capacity in the public mental health system, some of which was diverted long ago to other uses, including a Cal State campus. It also includes $4 billion for behavioral health services for children and youth. Plus $950 million for school-based programs and $430 million for expansion of early psychosis treatment and youth

drop-in wellness centers. Whatever its motivation, this is in part a response to a February Kaiser Family Foundation poll reporting 40 percent of American adults say they suffer from anxiety or depressive disorders, four times as many as reported before the pandemic. That makes the expanded mental-health spending a response to COVID-19 and its accompanying isolated lifestyles in addition to homelessness. If there’s follow-though, this level of new spending and activity can’t help reduce a serious cause of problems that send many previously solid citizens into street living.

s might be expected, mental-health officials and therapists at all levels appear thrilled at the new emphasis on their efforts. “(This) budget proposal shows our state understands how critical it is for us to invest in behavioral health in order for California to fully recover from the…past year and be prepared to meet the ongoing surge of need for mentalhealth … services,” said Veronica Kelley, president of the statewide County Behavioral Health Directors Assn. and director of San Bernardino County’s mental health department. “Counties will be able to build brick-and-mortar capacity, combined with

workforce investment, to address systemic gaps left by decades of underinvestment.” Before Newsom began traveling the state in midMay to publicize his recovery plan (also campaigning to keep his job), no one expected anything close to this level of investment in mental health. By itself, it will not end homelessness, because mental illness is only one cause, along with things like the lack of jobs for newlyreleased convicts, the fact that some other states offer convicted “minor” criminals bus tickets here in lieu of jail time and economic conditions that can drive people from homes they can no longer afford. But if at least some of the current homeless or newly housed are willing to take advantage of the new resources coming their way, there’s a chance the money can reduce this seemingly intractable problem. And if a recall is what it takes to motivate politicians to attack problems at their sources, maybe we should have them regularly. — Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

aking action now to maximize the Community Eligibility Provision through California’s budget would help ensure kids won’t lose access to nutritious school meals when federal waivers expire. Maximizing CEP isn’t just a matter of if school meals are served, it’s also a matter of how school meals are served. By investing in the Community Eligibility Provision, we mitigate stigma and shaming for students who need to access free meals. By investing in CEP, we ease administrative burdens, stabilize school nutrition budgets and support employees working to nourish our children. By investing in the Community Eligibility Provision, we target state dollars to children in chronically under-resourced communities and foster equitable access to health, wellbeing and opportunity. That’s the type of inclusive program we need for an inclusive California. California is home to one of the world’s largest economies and the nation’s highest rate of child poverty. Before the onset of COVID-19, one in five California children lived in poverty. The public health crisis has deepened the existing inequities for families with low income and Black and Latinx Californians who are disproportionately burdened by the health and economic consequences of COVID-19. Schools across California understand the need to nurture and nourish their students by offering free meals to all. But the current funding framework often makes that approach financially unattainable or unsustainable. State investments to maximize the Community Eligibility Provision are a scalable, equitable approach to reaching all children with the meals they need to learn, grow and thrive. Pairing state dollars with available federal funding would make the Community Eligibility Provision a reality for more schools — and free school meals a reality for more students. With California rapidly moving to on-campus learning, the state reporting higher than expected revenues and federal dollars available for school meal programs, now is the time to act. Children across our state need the governor and California lawmakers to make smart, equitable investments in free school meals through the Community Eligibility Provision. — Mayra E. Alvarez is president of The Children’s Partnership, a nonprofit children’s advocacy organization, malvarez@childrenspartnership. org. She wrote this for CalMatters, a public interest journalism venture committed to explaining how California’s Capitol works and why it matters.

Letters S1—For The People Act In three weeks, the U.S. Senate votes on S1 — For the People Act. This bill has support from both California senators, Alex Padilla and Dianne Feinstein. Both are co-sponsors; both supported it through the Senate Rules Committee. But now is a time for more urgent action. Our Senators need to dig deep to gain full support of their caucus and their colleagues across the aisle. Senator Feinstein, our nation’s oldest sitting Senator and respected member of 30 years, must employ her senior statesman status to inspire this defense of our Democracy. The League of Women Voters says S1 compels nonpartisan support. S1 protects voting rights through many voter integrity principles promoted by Senator Padilla while Secretary of State in California. If this bill falls to a filibuster or fails to secure the support of a Senate majority it will not be because our Senators fought hard to champion bipartisanship, it will be because they declined to fight harder to champion voting rights.

Davis Housing Element I am a longtime citizen of Davis. I am also a Christian. My faith demands that I acknowledge that Davis is a racially and economically segregated community. My faith demands that I assist and support the needs of neighbors who are less advantaged. And this means that my faith demands that I support the building of an adequate supply of affordable housing in this town. The city of Davis previously distributed a survey regarding rezoning sites in Davis which would allow the building of more multifamily affordable housing. I support rezoning all the sites identified because the amount of parcels available in our city limits is woefully small and the need is exceedingly large. Rezoning parcels only allows for the possibility that these parcels be used for low-income housing. It does not commit them to that purpose. In addition to rezoning, I support

removing parking minimums. I support legalizing the creation of up to four units on a single-family lot, similar to the SB9 proposal circulating in the California Senate. And finally, given the “Not in My Back Yard” sentiment of many of my neighbors, I support the “By-right” approval process to ensure that small infill affordable housing projects can proceed expeditiously. Finally, the Housing Trust Fund should be included as an appendix in the Housing Element. We must also acknowledge that the current balance in the HTF is woefully inadequate to support housing needs in this town. Our city needs to create an income stream to support this fund. I acknowledge that these interventions will increase housing density, put more cars on our roads and make parking more difficult for everyone. Taxes to support an HTF will come from our pockets. Nothing comes free. But in the long term, these interventions will invigorate our community with the influx of younger families from diverse economic and racial groups. And that will create a more sustainable and livable Davis. It also is simply the right thing to do. Ellen Kolarik Davis

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE — WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 2021

B1 B2 B3 B6

FC Davis opens season with a victory By Will Wyman Enterprise staff writer After 15 months of waiting, Davis’ thirst for elite soccer was quenched when FC Davis took on Napa Valley 1839 FC Saturday night, winning 2-1. The Lions gained the edge on the road at Dodd Stadium in Napa, claiming their first three points of the season. “It was a hard-fought match,” noted FC Davis’ Caua Soares. “There’s still room to improve, but I’m proud of the guys for sticking together and grinding out the win away from our fans.” Soares played a key role in the opening goal, drawing a penalty midway through the first half after a key pass from Wumi Aladetimi. Midfielder Onah Power took on the responsibility from the spot, but saw his initial attempt turned away by the Napa goalkeeper. However, the penalty was called back for a retake as Napa’s No. 1 came off of his line early to make the save. Power made no mistake on the second time of asking, burying the

penalty and giving Davis its first goal of the season. Davis held the (golden) lions’ share of the ball and dominated most of the match, but Napa came storming back in the second frame. The home team equalized early after the break, completely flipping the game’s impetus. “The momentum shifted in the second half, but our defense held strong,” said FC Davis netminder Jon Laughlin, who made key saves after intermission. The Lions fought hard to get the upper hand back after conceding. The breakthrough finally came in the dying embers of the match, when Soares turned provider again. This time, the dimedropping midfielder whipped in a lofted ball off of a corner kick into the path of center back Jaime Robles. Robles shook off his marker and rocketed a thunderous header into the bottom corner to earn all three National Premier Soccer League points for Davis. “We kept fighting, were able to capitalize on a set piece and find the goal we needed,” concluded Laughlin.

Wumi Aladetimi puts on the brakes to stop a Napa Valley FC advance Saturday during the Golden Lions’ season-opening victory. The team’s winning mentality and resolve was something they built before the game. FC Davis had not taken the field for a

competitive match in over a year, yet the unit was able to adjust to game speed quickly. “We’ve been working hard at

training to build chemistry,” said Power. “The future is bright if we keep playing as a unit.” The Lions will return home to Playfields Park for their first home game of the season on June 12. Due to health-and-safety protocols, the match will be played behind closed doors. Davis will enter Saturday’s matchup with a 1-0-0 record in NPSL play. However, FC Davis will welcome fans back to its home ground on June 26 at 7 p.m. for the Causeway Clasico, the team’s rivalry match against Sacramento Gold FC. Notes: The FC Davis inaugural women’s season is also quickly approaching, kicking off on June 12 away from home against San Ramon FC. The Lady Lions’ roster is chock-full of former Davis High Blue Devils and Sacramento area stars alike with a slew of Division-I talent. The women will play their home opener on June 19 at Playfields, hosting the Pleasanton Rage. — Reach Enterprise staff writer Will Wyman at wymanw26@ gmail.com. Follow him via Twitter at @wyman_why.

DHS squads dominate track ‘championships’ Devil boys and girls look at end-of-the-season Marauder Invitational as faux Section meet By Owen Yancher Enterprise sports editor The Davis High boys distance runners owned the oval Saturday at the Marauder Invitational, dominating the day’s final events en route to a team title. The Blue Devil girls were equally impressive in the jumps as they coasted to a firstplace finish of their own at the pseudoconference championship meet. “We all got fired up,” Devil head coach Spencer Elliott said. “Going in, we treated it as if it were our championship meet or our Section or Masters meet, we’d normally have. And because of that, it felt like a

Gabriela Caceres-Fernandez

big meet. “We had a ton of PRs. We ran great, we threw great and we jumped great.” The competition at Jesuit High wrapped up the spring season for the Devil tracksters.

Girls Competition on the ladies side wasn’t even close as the Devils swamped runnerup St. Francis, 218-83. Beating the Troubadours’ second-place finisher by an entire second, Emma Vogt won the 400 in 1:01.09, while Kate Stevenson followed with a third-place finish at 1:02.76. Abby Carroll placed second in the 3,200 (11:52.75) and Maddie Buzbee clocked in third in both the 100 (17.18) and 300 (50.04) hurdles. Amie Huang (2:25.71) and Anaya Browning (2:25.85) went 2-3 in the 800 and the Lady Devils also won the meet’s 4x100 relay with Sophia Young, Isabel Garcia, Vogt and Chloe Barr combining for a 50.27 effort. In the field events, Caitlin McMillan hit a personal best by nearly a foot to win the long jump (16-09). Lily Gieschen followed with a personal record of her own (16-03.5) and Shay Hawkes bounded 15-07 as the pair finished second and third, respectively. In the throws events, Veronika Edson tossed the shot put 29-00.50, good for seventh place and was third in the discus (10402). Nellee Bitners was sixth in the discus with a 95-foot heave.

Gabriela Caceres-Fernandez was second overall in the pole vault (10-00), while Shay Hawkes won the high jump (5-04). Gieschen topped the triple jump field (36-0) and Sophia Ballard was third at 34-0.

Boys As DHS swept spots No. 1 through 5 in the 1,600, senior Diego Perez claimed the event crown with a 4:10.46 dash. Zachary Ayers followed second in 4:20.90 with Ansel Tucker (4:22.76), Ryan Mitchell (4:30.28) and Connor Cougevan (4:32.01) finishing in close succession. The event snared DHS 33 points as the Devils went on to post 268 on the day — more than 170 points better than second-place Pleasant Grove (97.5). Jesuit finished third with 91. “That 1,600 was a great event for us,” Elliott told The Enterprise. “Those guys had a mission to go in and (own) that event. And Connor might’ve been the one that impressed me the most. He’s only a ninth-grader. So for him to put up a time like that ... pretty cool.” Ayers (9:08.75) and Tucker (9:12.33) also went 1-2 in the 3,200, while Clay Ballard (50.66) and Sean Layman (51.16) finished in equal fashion in the 400. “I was so happy for Clay,” Elliott said. “He’s been injured for a few weeks, so to have him come back and win …

it was phenomenal.” A double-event winner, Ray Oldham collected a title in the long jump (2005.50), besting his former mark in the event by more than two inches. Oldham (6-02), Nolan Bitners (6-0) and Eli Ishikawa (5-10) were also the top three in the high jump, while Tyler Venner won the shot put by nearly seven feet, chalking up a 50-01.50 throw. “Our high jumpers started training about as early as anyone was allowed to,” Elliott added. “And that was mostly because they were all so stir crazy during the (shutdown) and wanted to get out of the house.” That early start to their practices, however, helped form a certain “vibe” among them, Elliott said. “They really bonded and formed this great dynamic as a group. And because of that, they’re fun to watch. They scream and yell and support each other out there.” Dean Fulks was second in the 300 hurdles (43.36), while Alex Oldham, Ray’s younger brother, followed in third at 45.20. Jake Schaal, Ballard, Josiah McCarthy and Layman banded together for a win in the 4x400 relay (3:27.45) and Ray Oldham’s 22.81 sprint in the 200 was good for third. Scott Inouye was also third in the 110 hurdles (16.57), while Alex Oldham had a third place finish in the 100 (11.07). In the triple jump, the Devils had another podium sweep with Fulks (3806.50), Tai Hackett (38-02.75) and Parker Giovanetti (36-10.50) Diego Perez finishing 1-2-3. Fulks’ effort was a career-best.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 2021

The best place on earth When the first American settlers came to California, one of the first places they setup camp was right here in Yolo County. For good reason. Davis, California is nestled between the Sierras and the Bay, some of nature’s most splended creations. It’s one of the most bountiful places in America, first in agriculture and also now in culture itself. Its treasured location is second only to the treasure that is its settlers. In publishing the Davis Visitor’s Guide, powered by our new adventure website (https://yolo.directory), our goal is to get you and your guests to explore Davis beyond your backyard. As we are spoiled with the plenitude of nature, so too are we spoiled with an abundance of cultural options. Contained in these pages are just a small smattering of the myriad activities around town, but with each section comes a QR code you can use to explore further. To use them, pull out your smartphone’s camera and focus it on the page. In 2021, we are now in a position to newly appreciate all that we have. Let’s go forth and enjoy our city and its residents for all they have to offer.

What makes lodging family-friendly?

acations to and from Davis have long been a great way for families to spend time together and build memories that will last a lifetime. Research shows that this tradition is alive and going strong. Research from AAA Travel found that 88 million residents of the United States planned to take family vacations in 2018. The allure of overseas destinations is seemingly increasing, as AAA noted that 35 percent of the families who planned to vacation in 2018 intended to visit an international destination. That marked a 9 percent increase from the year prior.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 2021

When looking for familyfriendly lodging, parents should keep in mind that the location of the facility can be just as important as what it offers. A remote hotel or rental house might provide the solitude and respite parents are looking for, but such spots might not be best for families. If you’re planning on doing lots of sightseeing, then lodging that’s close to local sights and highways can save you from spending much of your vacation enduring lengthy car trips. Kids likely won’t appreciate such trips.

Accomodations

Modern families aren’t just vacationing; they are vacationing

more often than they used to. AAA found that 27 percent of traveling families intended to take three or more family vacations in the next 12 months. One way for budget-conscious families to make that possible is to cut costs on each trip. All-inclusive resorts, in which the costs of family meals are included, or lodging that includes kitchens or kitchenettes, private patios to grill nightly meals and refrigerators large enough to store essentials like milk and eggs can help parents save on meals out on the town. That’s no small consideration, as a recent Consumer Expenditure Survey from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found that food and alcohol accounted for the second greatest vacation expense for domestic trips and the third highest expense for international travelers.

Activities

Many resorts provide a host of family-friendly activities that are included in the cost of the lodging. Private rentals or lodging booked through companies such as Airbnb are less likely to include such perks. Even hotels without extensive kid-friendly offerings may still have pools and/or private beach access that are free to guests. These present lots of activities for families at no additional cost, making them especially valuable options.

Information Art Walks

One way Davis likes to liven up its landscapes and neighborhoods is through public art. Playful sculptures, functional pieces like a wall or a clock, and much more adorn the downtown area, shopping centers, parks, greenbelts and buildings throughout Davis. Local businesses combine efforts for a festive evening on the second Friday of each month. For each Second Friday ArtAbout, businesses welcome visitors from 6 to 9 p.m. and host exhibits where people can meet artists and enjoy music and refreshments. The community’s outdoor and indoor public art is available all the time for people to see — and, in some cases, to climb on. For example, a stroll through downtown might take you past “The

Joggers” at Third and F streets, “Solar Intersections” at the train depot, “Clepsydra” clock and water feature on the E Street Plaza or the many pieces in Central Park. And public art is in every other corner of Davis ... just look around! * More information: A public art walking tour guide can be picked up at the Yolo County Visitors’ Bureau at 132 E St., Suite 200, Davis. Davis also boasts a transmedia sculpture walk, where each sculpture has a radio frequency identification technology chip embedded into it over which participants may wave their cell phones to interactively learn about each work of art. * Location: Pick up a map at John Natsoulas Center for the Arts, 521 First St., Davis

Bat talks

At the beginning of every June, 250,000 Mexican free-tailed bats — one of this species’ largest colonies in California — migrate to the 3-mile-long Yolo Causeway for some quality hunting. All of them sleep during the day in the bridge’s expansion joints, crevices that are about 12 inches deep, directly beneath causeway traffic. The spectacle is at sunset, when all 250,000 branch out into the twilight sky, one group at a time, to find food. Join the Yolo Basin Foundation

Davis takes its reputation as the bicycle capital of the country seriously, and there are many ways this town proves its loyalty to pedal power. It has earned the title of “America’s Best Bicycling City” because of its high volume of bicycle use, its renowned system of bikeways and cyclist-friendly facilities, and supportive city and university programs. There are 125 miles of bike lanes and bike paths within city limits. Bike paths along greenbelts, in city parks, on campus and along the UC Davis Arboretum make bicycling a pleasant, leisurely activity

with beautiful scenery. The Davis Bike Club also has created route maps, offering more than 20 bike rides, with routes including Davis, Winters, Woodland, Clarksburg, the Capay Valley and beyond. The route maps and “cue sheets” — the detailed descriptions of how to ride from here to there — are available through the Davis Bike Club website — davisbikeclub.org. * More information: For even more bike-related information, resources and laws, plus a detailed bike map, call UC Davis Transportation and Parking Services at 530-752-BIKE (8277); visit the city of Davis Department of Public Works, 23 Russell Blvd.; or visit Yolo County Visitors Bureau, 132 E St., Suite 200, Davis

peratures of up to 75 degrees in the summer, making it an ideal place for water sports. Anglers enjoy fishing for coldand warm-water species, such as rainbow trout, bass and catfish. One of the largest bodies of fresh water in California, Lake Berryessa is 26 miles long by 3 miles wide, with 165 miles of shoreline. An unusual feature of the lake is the spillway or “glory hole” above the Monticello Dam, a concrete funnel that drains excess water. The Bureau of Reclamation provides two large day-use areas (Oak Shores and Smittle Creek), Capell Cove launch ramp and many smaller dispersed day-use areas. The seven resorts around the lake are managed by concessionaires under contract with Reclamation and provide camping, day-use and boating facilities. The Monticello Dam area at the southeast corner of the lake is one of the best local birding areas. The best time to visit for birding is in early spring and late fall during migration and nesting seasons. Look for eagles, hawks, songbirds, wild turkeys, Canada geese, pelicans and great blue herons, among others. * Location: Lake Berryessa is 40 miles west of Sacramento. Nearest towns are Napa to the southwest or Winters to the east. Nearest highways are state Highways 121 and 128. * More information: 707-9662111; recreation.gov

Camping

Yolo County’s public parks, which total 2,300 acres, are spread out over the county’s 1,024 square miles. Some span hundreds of acres, offer dozens of campsites and boast oak trees older than the United States. “It’s everything from Elkhorn Regional Park along the Sacramento River to parks on Cache Creek, parks on Putah Creek,

parks in the mountains, parks in the grasslands,” said Andrew Fulks of Tuleyome, a Woodland-based environmental group. “They really showcase all that Yolo County is. There’s a little bit of everything.” For campers, 685-acre Cache Creek Canyon Regional Park has 45 individual campsites, four large group camp sites, two restroom buildings, a general store, large turf areas, a playground, numerous picnic tables, a day-use parking area (parking fee required), and rural pedestrian access to Cache Creek. These public parks offer the county’s 215,000 residents — and the 2.7 million people in the Sacramento region — a way to relax, play and adventure. County officials want more people, including outsiders, to camp, fish, hike and boat in Yolo County. * More information: yolocounty. org

tains and trash stations with plastic bags are provided. Another fenced, off-leash dog run is at Community Park, 1405 F St. (west of the skate park). * More information: Call 530757-5656 to check the status of the dog parks, as they close in wet weather; community-development.cityofdavis.org/toad-hollowdog-park * Woodland Dog Park: 2001 E Street and Road 24A

Double-decker buses

In 1968, Unitrans, UC Davis’ bus system, purchased vintage double-decker buses from London and brought them to Davis to start a bus system. Over time, Unitrans added 10 more of the vintage buses, although only a few run now. To catch a ride on one of the iconic buses during the academic year, take the E-line (downtown, F and J streets); or the F-line (Oak Avenue, Alvarado Avenue (east) and Catalina Drive). In addition, free rides are offered on a double-decker bus from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the first Saturday of the month from the Memorial Union terminal to the Davis Farmers Market in Central Park, Fourth and C streets, and back. * More information: For up-todate schedules, visit the Unitrans website: unitrans.ucdavis.edu

Farm Tours

Dog parks

Toad Hollow Dog Park generally is the place to be for Davis’ fourlegged friends. This 2.5-acre fully fenced park — at 1919 Second St., Davis — provides plenty of room for your dog to play, and it includes a fenced small-dog area, too. Parking is available at the park and along Second Street next to the park. Your dog must be on leash from the parking area until you enter the park. Drinking foun-

Yolo County is agricultural land, and there are many ways to get out and experience it. As Yolo County Supervisor Don Saylor explained, “Yolo County plays a unique role in our region. When we talk about a ‘farm to fork’ effort in the Sacramento region, more often than not, the farm is in Yolo County. “Our county’s climate, soil, talent and research create one of the finest agricultural settings in the world. Many of us are fortunate to shop at some of the best farmers markets in the nation, shop at grocery stores that stock produce from local farms and subscribe to Community Supported Agriculture programs.”

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 2021 So if you want to harvest your own summer fruits or find the best Halloween pumpkin, explore the world of gourds, channel your inner cowboy, and learn how a working farm operates, there are many farm tours offered in Yolo County. * More information: The Yolo County Visitors Bureau has a listing of more than 20 farms and ranches that participate in tours and offer a wide variety of seasonal events. www.yolocvb.net/farmtours.html * Or visit the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources’ comprehensive site for the California agricultural tourism directory at www.calagtour.org

Hiking

Spring-fed waterfalls cascading over shadowy caverns, pockets of wetlands with turtles floating undisturbed and the fur of black bears shimmering in the sunlight as they move swiftly along river banks. Recounted by Andrew Fulks, who manages UC Davis’ Putah Creek Riparian Reserve, these adventures actually are close to home. Fulks has worked to inform, protect and expand opportunities in local nature. And the local outdoorsman shares his journeys from the Blue Ridge trail off Highway 16 to a route leading into Pierce Canyon Falls. * More information: Detailed descriptions of nearby hikes are listed on the Tuleyome Trails page at tuleyome.org/index.php/getoutside/tuleyome-trails, or yolohiker.org

Paddling

Cache Creek is part of the wild and scenic California water system. It is one of the major rivers in Yolo County, flowing southeast from Clear Lake through U.S. Bureau of Land Management land and then along Highway 16. The wilderness area has the second largest populations of bald eagles and tule elk in California. For most recreational boaters, Cache Creek is run in two sections in the upper canyon above Rumsey. The first section is known as the “Fun Run.” Boaters put in at Yolo County’s Cache Creek Canyon Regional Park Upper Site or just over the county line at the confluence with Bear Creek. This segment of river is popular with people looking for Class II and III whitewater. The proximity to Woodland and Davis means the fun run can be done as a half-day outing. Time on the water is usually two to three hours. The best place to take out from the water is at Camp Haswell County Park, upstream from Rumsey. Various outfitters rent all the gear needed, as well as provide transportation and lunch along the river. * More information: californiawhitewater.com/rivers/cachecreek
