Students sue UCD over terminated PE program

By Caleb Hampton Enterprise staff writer Four UC Davis students sued the university last month over the termination of the school’s physical education program. The lawsuit, which was filed May 25 in Yolo Superior Court, alleges that the university broke a contract with its students by scrapping the PE program in December and continuing to collect certain student fees during the past two quarters.

The class action complaint was filed on behalf of UC Davis students Madison Butler, Bailey Johnson, Corrie O’Brien, Urvashi Mahto and other students “similarly situated,” including all UC Davis students who were enrolled in the winter and spring quarters of this year and paid their student fees.

The complaint asks that students be awarded damages in the form of a refund on two quarters of specific student fees, which total $380 per year, and that the court issue a decree requiring UC Davis to reinstate its PE program if it continues to collect the fees.

Created before World War I, UC Davis’ PE program produced leaders

DSIS celebrates individual paths

By Edward Booth Enterprise staff writer About 20 graduating seniors from the Davis School for Independent Study gathered on a breezy Wednesday morning at the Ron and Mary Brown Stadium to officially end the 202021 school year in an individualized graduation ceremony.

Though the school year was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in a major way, the DSIS in-person graduation ceremony proceeded similarly to how it has in pre-COVID years. The ceremony did, however, contain several COVID-19 precautions.

Socially distanced seating for

audience members was laid out on the field of the stadium, while the seniors sat in socially distanced seats in front of a main dais.

The seniors, dressed in green graduation robes, wore a variety of decorations, such as flower leis and caps decorated with flowers. A breeze of fresh morning air at times blew through the stadium and, at different points, knocked down both the United States and California flags that were on the dais.

The ceremony was livestreamed and recorded for anyone who wasn’t able to, or chose not to be given COVID-19, be

WOODLAND — A Yolo Superior Court judge upheld multiple felony charges Wednesday for the suspect in April’s brutal beating of a homeless woman in South Davis.

The ruling has Joseph Michael Granken, 28, facing trial on attempted murder, assault and battery charges, although his attorney has declared a doubt as to his mental competency to go before a jury.

A psychologist appointed to evaluate Granken is in the midst of completing her report, Deputy Public Defender James Bradford told Judge

Graduating seniors from Martin Luther King, Jr. High School gathered at the Ron and Mary Brown Stadium Wednesday night, as the sun fell behind the bleachers and the breezy summer day turned to twilight, to officially graduate after a pandemic year.

As with the other graduation ceremonies this year, COVID19 precautions such as masks and social distancing between seats was noticeable. The King ceremony was also livestreamed for anyone who couldn’t make it to the in-person ceremony.

Briefly Body ID’d as missing man A body recovered in the Sacramento River in Yolo County last weekend has been linked to a recent Sutter County missing-person case, local sheriff ’s officials confirmed this week.

Ronald Milton Belke Jr., 57, of Sacramento, went missing June 2 after jumping from a houseboat that had been anchored in the river.

“He had some mechanical issues and tried to swim to shore.

He was never seen after that,” Yolo County sheriff ’s Lt. Gary Hallenbeck said.

A body surfaced about seven miles downstream, near the Elkhorn boat ramp east of Woodland, shortly before 6 p.m. Saturday.

Coroner’s officials positively identified the body as Belke’s on Monday but did not release his name until Thursday after notifying his next of kin.

Belke’s cause of death was drowning, believed to be accidental. “We don’t have any evidence to think that it’s anything other than that,” Hallenbeck said.

FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 2021

Working to educate the educators T rying to do my part to be a responsible citizen in this town, I spent most of yesterday afternoon completing an online survey regarding the Davis Joint Unified School District’s overall response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

OK, it took about 15 minutes, but I put down four hours on the time sheet I plan to submit to DJUSD officials for “professionals services.”

“Your opinions are very important to us,” the preamble begins.

“All data is being collected by a DJUSD third party partner and your responses will remain completely confidential.”

Until now.

I honestly don’t know the difference between “completely confidential” and plain old “confidential,” but as the author of these completely confidential survey answers, I — and I alone — am legally allowed to release them to the general public.

“We appreciate your participation in this important study.”

I appreciate being asked to participate in this important study.

As for the survey itself, first come the obligatory questions about ethnic “origin,” without

specifying if they want me to go back just a few generations or all the way to the Big Bang.

They then ask “What year were you born?” and present a long dropdown list of possible dates, conveniently ending before my birth year, which is now officially known as “Other.”

So there you have it, I’m so old I was born in “Other.” Presumably my birthplace is no longer Portland, Ore., but “Somewhere” and my birth parents are “Someone” and “Somebody.”

Hopefully, this embarrassing information will remain completely confidential and never see the light of day.

After a few more getting-toknow-you questions, the survey jumps right to the heart of the matter by asking “How would you rate the job overall the DJUSD is

doing responding to the COVID19/Coronavirus?”

The choices are “Excellent, Good, Only Fair and Poor.”

I’m not sure why they felt it necessary to modify “Fair” with “Only,” while allowing “Excellent, Good and Poor” to stand by themselves.

When you really think about it, “Only Fair” sounds much worse than “Fair.” In fact, “Only Fair sounds pretty much like “Poor.”

I

n any regard, I checked “Excellent,” not to curry favor with the powers-that-be, but simply because I believe that district personnel, top to bottom, have done their level best to respond appropriately to this ever-changing pandemic.

There have been bumps in the road, to be sure, and mixed messages from on high, but at least no one at the district level suggested we could stop this disease dead in its tracks by inoculating everyone with Clorox.

As for the survey questions about the quality of online learning, I think the district made the best of a bad situation.

In our household, we saw differences in response to online

Businesses have mask options

By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer Business owners in Davis and across the state will have three options when the state’s revised facemask guidance takes effect next Tuesday.

They can ask patrons to self-attest that they are vaccinated if they enter unmasked; they can implement a vaccine verification system (presumably asking to see a vaccine card); or they can simply require all patrons to continue wearing a face covering.

The state’s new guidance will also make clear that “no person can be prevented from wearing a mask as a condition of participation in an activity or entry into a business,” according to Dr. Mark Ghaly, California’s secretary of health and human services.

Ghaly outlined the forthcoming mask guidance during a media briefing on Wednesday.

As the state had previously indicated, June 15 will be the day California’s face-covering rules will align with the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, allowing fully vaccinated individuals to resume everyday activities without wearing a mask except in a few limited settings.

“Individuals who are not

fully vaccinated must continue to wear masks in indoor, public settings,” Ghaly said.

And everyone — vaccinated or not — will have to wear masks in the following settings: n On public transportation, including airplanes, ferries, trains, subways and buses n At transportation hubs such as airports, bus terminals and train stations n Indoors in K-12 schools as well as childcare and other youth settings (though that could change in the weeks ahead, Ghaly said). n In healthcare settings, including longterm care facilities n At state and local correctional facilities and detention centers n At homeless shelters, emergency shelters and cooling centers The unvaccinated will be required to wear masks in indoor public settings and businesses, including retail sites, restaurants, theaters, family entertainment centers and state and local government offices serving the public, Ghaly said.

Business owners themselves will be given the choice of how to enforce the rule.

Patrons who enter without a mask can be asked to self-attest that they are

Police investigating Woodland park shooting

By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer A victim remains in critical but stable condition after being shot Wednesday night at a Woodland park, according to police.

Sgt. Victoria Danzl said officers were summoned shortly before 7:30 p.m. to the shooting at Freeman Park on Main Street, across the street from the Yolo County Courthouse.

Emergency personnel found the wounded victim,

a 44-year-old Woodland man, and transported him to the UC Davis Medical Center.

“Officers do not have a clear suspect description at this time, but will provide more information as it is available,” Danzl said.

“Investigations are following up on all potential leads regarding a suspect.”

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Woodland Police Department at 530-666-2411.

vaccinated or the business can implement its own verification system. Business owners can also continue to require everyone to mask up.

“We are giving all three options to private and independent operators to choose which is best suited for their community and their business,” said Ghaly, who acknowledged that “some business owners very well may decide the honor system is not sufficient and they’re going to require all patrons to their business are going to wear masks.”

Cal-OSHA standards will continue to govern workplaces. Last week, the agency issued new standards requiring that employees continue to wear masks in some cases, including if anyone working in a room is unvaccinated.

Yolo County residents have been required to wear face coverings in public for more than a year, since former county health officer Dr. Ron Chapman issued the order on April 24, 2020.

Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a statewide mandatory facemask order a month later.

But last month, the CDC issued new recommendations saying fully vaccinated individuals need not wear face coverings or physically distance in most settings.

learning among our four teenagers, and I’ve heard similar stories from other parents. Some kids thrived, some kids survived and some kids couldn’t wait to get back in the classroom.

“Have your children utilized our on-campus or near-campus COVID-19 testing through DJUSD/Healthy Davis Together?”

A resounding “Yes.” It was convenient and free and test results were readily available. In fact, they were only tests our kids were happy to have failed.

Our favorite testing sites were the Vets, the Senior Center and the Mondavi. All had ample nearby parking and virtually no wait times.

Healthy Davis Together has been an incredible blessing to our community and is perhaps the main reason we have escaped the nightmarish scenarios that unfolded in other parts of the country.

Of course, “vaccinated” and “vacation” sound an awful lot alike, but thanks to the DJUSD and the good folks at Healthy Davis Together, we will soon be enjoying the benefits of both.

PE: University says it has no obligation to program From Page A1

(ICA) and save UC Davis from the possibility of cutting several of its sports programs, including the football team.

(Today, UC Davis students are the largest source of funding for the campus’ NCAA teams, contributing more than $10 million in SASI fees annually.)

Informational materials distributed ahead of the fee referendum included PE classes as an incentive for students to approve the measure. “What’s in it for me?” A Question and Answer sheet stated.

in sports psychology, coaching and other disciplines. For many, the program, which was largely run and taught by current and former coaches of UC Davis’ NCAA teams, symbolized a unique commitment to inclusivity and mentorship. “The elimination of the PE Program would be a significant cultural shift for the campus,” a 2020 budget analysis of the program stated.

Campus leadership said the decision to scrap the PE program came from a desire to fall in line with other universities. “Offering PE courses for academic credit is no longer considered to be either an appropriate or common practice in higher education,” UC Davis spokeswoman Melissa Blouin told The Enterprise last year.

The termination of the program caused an uproar among faculty, students and the wider community last fall. Faculty protested, students circulated an online petition that more than 5,000 people signed, the student government unanimously passed a resolution opposing the decision and California State legislators wrote to campus leaders urging them to reconsider.

Advocates of the program called attention to a fee referendum adopted nearly three decades ago.

Facing a budget crisis, UC Davis students voted in 1994 to approve a Student Activities and Services Initiative (SASI) fee, which would fund Intercollegiate Athletics

the fee initiative meant continuation of the PE program. “At the time of the vote, the PE Program had been, and without question was expected to continue to be, inextricably linked to our intercollegiate athletic program,” said Phillip Kilbridge, a student-athlete who was at the negotiating table with campus administrators in 1994.

Bob Franks, who served as UC Davis’ Associate Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs in 1994, told The California Aggie in February that Courtesy photo

UC Davis’ Vern Hickey gives golf instructions to, from left, Pat Hershberger, Shirley Ramsey, Pat McWilliams, Sally Curtis, Suzanne Ames and Maggie Orr during an Aggie physical education class during the 1950s. Hickey was a lecturer, coach and supervisor of physical education.

“Continuation of PE-1 classes,” it listed. Another flyer said a consequence of rejecting the referendum would be the “immediate reduction and eventual elimination of PE activity classes for academic credit.”

UC Davis administrators maintain that the link many see between SASI fees and the PE program is a misunderstanding born of sloppily phrased flyers. The language in the referendum itself did not reference PE. “There is no agreement that obligates UC Davis to fund or operate the PE program,” Blouin told The Enterprise last year.

Multiple campus leaders who were involved in the 1994 referendum, however, have said there was a clear expectation that approval of

the omission of PE from the referendum language was incidental. “It would have been as unnecessary as speaking of sunrise and sunset,” Franks said. “All involved parties understood the reality.”

According to leaders of the PE program and Intercollegiate Athletics, that understanding prevailed for years. Barbara Jahn, who coached the women’s swim team for more than four decades and served as the most recent PE program director, said the campaign to pass the SASI referendum meant UC Davis has a “moral obligation” to offer PE courses. Other top figures agreed. “The university has a responsibility to continue that program,” Greg Warzecka, UC

“Offering PE courses for academic credit is no longer considered to be either an appropriate or common practice.”

Melissa Blouin UC Davis spokeswoman Davis Athletic Director from 1995 to 2011, told The Enterprise last year.

The precise nature of the university’s responsibilities per the 1994 referendum is at the center of the lawsuit. The plaintiffs claim the referendum, and the campaign surrounding it, “created a binding and enforceable contract between (UC Davis) and the UC Davis students” that requires the university to offer PE courses as long as it collects SASI fees from students.

“We as students give you money year after year to fund ICA sports,” Madison Butler, a UC Davis undergraduate and plaintiff in the lawsuit, said last year in an email to campus leaders. “In return, we ask you for a small (in comparison to your sports programs) PE program.”

UC Davis administrators did not respond to a request for comment.

WHY AM I RECEIVING THIS NOTICE? On June 1, 2021, PG&E filed its 2022 Energy Resource Recovery Account (ERRA) Forecast application with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requesting approval to change rates for the following:

Paul Richardson following Wednesday’s preliminary hearing in the case.

Two Davis police officers testified during the proceeding — one of whom responded to the April 27 assault scene on Chiles Road near the Nugget shopping center.

Officer Christopher Ritter said he arrived to find the victim, Heidi Young, who “appeared unconscious. Her face and head were swollen and bleeding.”

Two good Samaritans who stopped to thwart the alleged attack reported they saw the suspect, later identified as Granken, punching and stomping on Young on the side of the road.

One of the witnesses, Charles Klein, told Ritter that Granken chased him and struck him in the head when he intervened, the officer testified. The other, Mark Hopkins, said Klein flagged him down as Granken continued the alleged assault on Young, and that Granken attempted to flee when Hopkins challenged him.

Officers found Granken lying face-down on the ground when they arrived on scene.

“He’s a very large individual,” Ritter said of Granken, describing him as being at least 6-foot-4 and over 200 pounds — a foot

taller and at least 50 pounds heavier than his alleged victim.

After being taken into custody, Granken “said something along the lines of, he made a mistake, it wasn’t his hands, it wasn’t him that hurt her,” Ritter said.

A second Davis police officer, Mathew Muscardini, described going to the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento to obtain a statement from Young, who received treatment for multiple facial fractures, bleeding to the brain and bruising to both of her arms. She would later require a walker for mobility, Muscardini said.

After finding sufficient evidence to uphold the charges, Richardson scheduled a June 21 hearing to review Granken’s competency proceedings. Granken, prone to vocal outbursts during his court appearances, interrupted the judge to proclaim his innocence.

“I’m in Yolo County illegally,” Granken said, claiming authorities performed “alterations to my body from illegal surgery in 2013. …I personally want the FBI counter-terrorism task force to get in contact with me as soon as possible.”

“You have a good rest of your day,” Richardson replied.

DAVIS GLASS & SCREEN

NOTICE OF PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY’S REQUEST FOR THE RECOVERY OF ENERGY PURCHASES AND TO ADJUST ELECTRIC RATES FOR 2022 (A.21-06-001)

•

Recovery of $2.3 billion in costs related to fuel needed to produce electricity as well as buying energy from third parties to serve bundled customer loads that are included in ERRA.

•

Setting certain charges for bundled and departing load customers for the recovery of the above-market portion of PG&E’s portfolio that are included in the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA), Ongoing Competition Transition Charge (CTC), Cost Allocation Mechanism (CAM), and Public Purpose Program (PPP) rate.

As part of this application, PG&E customers will also receive the California Climate Credit. The credit will be applied twice a year, in April 2022 and October 2022, for residential and small business electric customers, and once a year, in April 2022, for residential gas customers.

WHY IS PG&E REQUESTING THIS RATE CHANGE? The ERRA is used to record fuel and purchased power costs that can be recovered in customer rates. While this may result in a change in rates, PG&E recovers these costs with no markup for return or profit. The purpose of this application is to forecast costs of obtaining energy for customers and also to approve the amount to be returned to customers from the sale of greenhouse gas emission allowances for the calendar year of 2022.

If the CPUC approves this application, PG&E will begin to recover its costs in electric rates effective January 1, 2022. At the end of 2022, PG&E will compare actual costs to the amounts forecasted in this application and will incorporate any differences in next year’s application.

HOW COULD THIS AFFECT MY MONTHLY ELECTRIC RATES? Many customers receive bundled electric service from PG&E, meaning they receive electric generation, transmission and distribution services.

Based on rates currently in effect, the bill for a typical nonCARE bundled residential customer using 500 kWh per month would increase from $138.86 to $141.39, or 1.8%.

Direct Access (DA) and Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) customers only receive electric transmission and distribution services from PG&E. These customers also receive the benefit of the California Climate Credit. In addition, eligible nonresidential DA and CCA customers receive the benefit of the greenhouse gas allowance returns. On average, these customers would see a decrease of 9.6%.

Another category of nonbundled customers is Departing Load. These customers do not receive electric generation, transmission, or distribution services from PG&E. However, these customers are required to pay certain charges by law or CPUC decision. On average, these customers would see an increase of 1.7%.

Actual impacts will vary depending on energy usage.

HOW DOES THE REST OF THIS PROCESS WORK? This application will be assigned to a CPUC Administrative Law Judge who will consider proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process. The Administrative Law Judge will issue a proposed decision that may adopt PG&E’s application, modify it, or deny it. Any CPUC Commissioner may sponsor an alternate decision with a different outcome. The proposed decision, and any alternate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon by the CPUC Commissioners at a public CPUC Voting Meeting.

Parties to the proceeding are currently reviewing PG&E’s application, including the Public Advocates Office, which is an independent consumer advocate within the CPUC that represents customers to obtain the lowest possible rate for service consistent with reliable and safe service levels.

Recall a longshot even in O.C. A holistic way F to health-care at lower costs

By Bill Kramer and Anthony Wright Special to CalMatters

W

ith eight in 10 Californians citing rising health costs as a top concern, state legislators can take bold action in the next week to give families better access to affordable health care and economic recovery in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the state budget, policymakers will soon vote on a comprehensive new approach to rising health care costs: a new Office of Health Care Affordability.

Inflated health care prices make us sicker.

According to a recent California Health Care Foundation poll, more than half of California families delayed or skipped care due to cost, and nearly half said their conditions had worsened as a result. High costs make us poorer, too, crowding out wages and benefits as employers grapple with increased insurance prices.

What’s worse, our health care costs are much higher than other countries’, even though we don’t require more care or have better outcomes.

We simply pay more. But that doesn’t have to be the case. We know that better care costs less and that improving care quality can also improve affordability.

California policymakers and advocates have addressed the rising cost of care through specific reforms on prescription drugs, anti-competitive industry practices and “surprise” medical bills.

But attempting to tackle each separately is a game of whack-a-mole. The creation of an Office of Health Care Affordability is a comprehensive effort to take on this issue systemwide.

The proposed new office is the result of years of stakeholder negotiation. It has the backing of Gov. Gavin Newsom, along with an uncommon grouping of supporters among patient advocates, employers and labor unions. A related bill — Assembly Bill 1130, by Assembly Health Committee Chair Jim Wood — passed the full Assembly last week.

Real accountability is what makes the proposed Office of Health Care Affordability unique —º and potentially effective. It would transform the way health care cost data is reported and would use that data to set annual, enforceable statewide cost targets for health plans, hospitals and health systems.

or decades it was a truism that for a Republican to have a chance in a statewide election, they would first need to win a majority of 250,000 votes or more in Orange County, the firmest conservative bastion in California.

Republicans will apparently need a new formula, though, in order to unseat Gov. Gavin Newsom in the upcoming recall election.

That’s the most immediate takeaway from both the 2020 election results and a springtime poll conducted

by City of Orange-based Chapman University, an increasingly prominent Orange County institution.

Here’s what happened in 2020: Ex-President Trump lost the county by 154,000 votes, Joe Biden outpolling him by a margin of 834,000 to 680,000, or 55 percent to 44 percent.

This was a hugely worse performance than Republican businessman John Cox turned in against Newsom in 2018, when Newsom won the county with 50.1 percent of the vote. It means either that tens of thousands of 2018 Republican voters turned against Trump last year, or that more and more Democrats are moving into the county, just south of Los Angeles.

The Chapman survey also found the OC is much greener in its outlook than 10 years ago and that under40 voters tend to support

the Democratic agenda of climate change action and government programs to solve problems far more than their older neighbors.

Those sentiments are what recall supporters must overcome if they’re to reverse the 2020 tide and oust Newsom, who repeatedly labels their effort a “Republican power grab.”

For the old truism still holds to a large degree. If Republicans can’t do much better in Orange County — one of the few places in the state where party registration is not completely dominated by Democrats — they will have no chance to win the recall, unless one or two major Democrats jump into the recall field and thus remove its currently strong GOP identity.

That identity is one big reason only about 40 percent of Californians surveyed in several recent polls have expressed intent to give Newsom an early exit. The percentage is quite similar to the vote that most Republican candidates have gotten in recent statewide elections.

It’s those younger voters

— especially the under-30s — who now give the Democrats much of their edge, both in Orange County and elsewhere.

Young voters went for Biden over Trump by a margin of more than 57-43 percent last year, while their elders voted Trump by about 52-48 percent.

So far, there’s no documented reason to believe they will turn against the Democratic incumbent governor this year in numbers anywhere close to the majority needed to kick him out.

B

ut so far, none of the significant Republican recall candidates has even attempted to adopt positions like those the Chapman survey showed are most favored by the majority of Orange County voters, let alone by the under-40 contingent among them.

Fully 95 percent of the county’s majority Democrats said they are worried about climate change. Plus, 47 percent of Republicans — whose major politicians often deny that climate change is real — agreed with the Democrats.

Chapman reported that the change in the OC’s viewpoints comes because “older, more conservative residents are exiting the county population and are being replaced by younger, more moderateto-liberal residents.” That’s a politic way of saying the older, more conservative

Orange County voters on whom Republicans once depended are now dying out or moving out.

Said Chapman Prof. Fred Smoller, one of the survey’s authors, “We’ve found the (OC) is not nearly as conservative as its portrayal in the national media.”

That will have implications beyond the recall.

Whether it wins or loses, the changed complexion of Orange County threatens the GOP’s ability to hang onto the congressional seats it won back there last year, after they had been held by Democrats for the previous two years.

These formerly solid Republican seats now figure to become swing districts that can go either way in any given election, a major change with implications both local and national.

But the most immediate portent might be for the recall, which has virtually no chance of polling a 250,000 majority in Orange County this year, something that might doom it long before the vote is taken.

I

t would allow the state to look at real-world costs experienced by insurers and providers, and use that data to set a target for each health care sector. Costs could not exceed that target without penalty or explanation.

The goal is to give high-performing health care providers a fair playing field by identifying price gougers and market failures, and addressing waste in the system.

Studies show that if costs continued to rise only at the rate of general economic growth, the proposed Office of Health Care Affordability could save Californians billions of dollars every year.

The idea received broad support from health policy leaders, stakeholders and academics from three California universities during an 18-month dialogue facilitated by Convergence Center for Policy Resolution. Despite sometimes being on different sides of issues, we and other participants agreed that an effort to collect cost data and set enforceable cost targets is what California needs now.

We understand that real change must be industrywide, as the system is interdependent.

The proposed office will recognize the role hospitals, health plans, medical groups and other sectors of the system play together, rather than singling out any one part of the industry.

The idea is not without precedent. Massachusetts’ Health Policy Commission has been setting cost targets since 2012, with real success.

California can build on this and similar efforts in other states to meet our unique needs.

Had this office been in place before the pandemic, a centralized health oversight agency looking at the big picture could have helped manage the crisis. It could provide a world of help in the next public health emergency.

We can’t meet goals we never set. With an Office of Health Care Affordability, California can lower health care costs and increase access to care, while improving quality and health equity. Let’s get California ahead of the health care cost curve, instead of falling further behind it.

Letters What about the taxpayers?

Friday’s Enterprise raises an interesting question as it featured the frontpage story on our City Council setting ground rules for how it will spend the near $20 million windfall of the American Rescue Plan and then hosted a letter advocating our voter approval of the stormwater fee to replace the aging storm-drain pumping infrastructure.

First, let me say my wife and I are mailing today our approval of the stormwater fee increase so I support this effort. My question, however, is why no one at any level of our California government — city, county, state — ever considers using windfalls or higher-than-expected revenue to reduce taxes.

During my five decades of growing up in California, with the exception of voters passing Prop. 13 against elected officials’ advice, I have never seen taxes reduced. Sales tax has gone from 6% to near 10% in most areas, income taxes continue to increase with continuous rate creeps and surcharges, and other fees continue to increase.

One idea for our council would be to have them share how some of this windfall could benefit the taxpayers in

reduced fees instead of the constant song that the city needs more money for parks, streets and infrastructure with its budget growing faster than the pocketbooks of its residents, and then dreaming up perceived investments from allocated windfalls from above.

Zip track too noisy We wish to expand on Anne TernusBellamy’s excellent article, “Proposed changes to city’s noise ordinance tabled for now,” which appeared online on June 3 and in print on June 4. Because the print version was edited for brevity, some points were omitted, including our family’s perspective on the noise emanating from the Arroyo Park zip track situated near our home.

Our view is that the proposed changes were precipitated by our pointing out that the sound reports the city commissioned in the summer of 2019 changed the method to calculate allowable noise, applying an average level rather than relying on the maximum measurements specified by city regulations. Instead of correcting the reports, the city proposed amending its longstanding noise ordinance.

The reports do vividly illustrate the

extent to which both zip track use and pickleball play violate the city’s noise ordinance.

The zip track, for example, easily exceeds the nighttime sound limit of 50 dBA and reaches the daytime limit of 55 dBA (and under the right circumstances, undoubtedly exceeds it). At our property line, the study recorded peaks above 50 dBA 17 times in 8 minutes. Bear in mind this is not the sound of children laughing and yelling or splashing in the pool. This is the sound of two hard surfaces scraping and colliding and echoing through a metal chamber, audible in every room of our house with every double-paned window closed.

Sadly, nighttime no longer brings relief because while the zip track is “closed” from sunset to 8 a.m., it is currently unlocked and attracts people long after dark. Since its reopening in late April, we have logged more than 60 instances of after-hours use.

Being awakened nearly every other night by loud banging and accompanying adult screams at 12:30 or 4:30 or 5:55 a.m. is unpleasant, to say the least.

To ensure unfettered access while complying with Davis noise regulations, the city must move this popular amenity to an appropriate location. We are confident that with good will and community spirit, in a city blessed with acres of parks, we can accomplish this.

Graduation ceremonies tap into history

By Sara Thompson Special to the Enterprise

T

he cap and gown are a common sight among graduations nationwide.

The long gowns started as black or grey, but with color photography came more and more color variants. The cap usually matches the color scheme of the gown, but its design has remained much the same over time.

The origins of these traditional items date back to the origins of universities in the

Explorit Science Center 12th and 13th centuries in Europe. Teachers and professors in these early colleges and universities were part of the clergy.

They wore robes and skull caps as part of their regalia and to show their status.

Their long robes may have helped to keep themselves warm in the drafty, unheated buildings they were teaching in. Students may have adopted the same

robes to also keep themselves warm and to help them stand out as part of the university.

The cap is often called a mortarboard as the square top resembles the tray a bricklayer holds when laying mortar. The style of cap has changed over the years. Caps worn by clergy and university students began as simple head coverings and with fashion trends changing so did the head wear.

The caps changed from rounded, pillow-like items, to caps almost as tall as modern chefs’ hats. The square-shaped

cap we recognize today came about in the 16th century and were popular because they required less materials to make and more could be made.

America’s first colleges and universities were modeled after those in Europe and kept many of the traditions. As those graduates started their own schools, many of the traditions continued as well. Some things have changed; the cap and gown are not worn by the students all the time but are reserved for graduations as recognition of achievements.

Explorit staff and the Board of Directors congratulate and recognize the achievements made by our volunteers graduating this semester.

A huge thank you and congratulations to Gracie Westergaard, Jake Blumwald, Jack Maurantonio, MesaraJayalath, Mia Gunasekera and Mia Mangney. We appreciate all that you have done for us and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Congratulations to The Graduating Class of 2021!

Obituaries Frances Cecilia Cameron d. May 14, 2021

Frances Cecilia Cameron, 91, passed away at home on May 14, surrounded by family. She was raised in San Francisco along with her sister Evelyn.

As a little one, she walked on the Golden Gate Bridge on opening day with her family. Her favorite childhood memories included going to Napa Valley to the ranch to play with her cousins and pick eggs.

She remembered blackout curtains, fighting over who gets to paint the margarine and endless hours of

ping pong in the basement.

Immediately upon graduation from high school, Fran attended nursing school at Children’s Hospital in San Francisco. She worked for more than 40 years as an RN and truly loved being a nurse. She was thrilled when her granddaughter decided to follow in her footsteps.

Fran moved to Davis to be near her sister and worked at the Student Health Center and for Dr. Cronin. She also met Hugh Stuart Cameron Jr. as a patient at Dr. Cronin’s office and married him in 1956. For 44 years, they

Richard H. Zimmerman Sept. 21, 1936 — June 1, 2021

Dick, (also known as Wilbur, UD, CUD, “Z” and Uncle Dick) Zimmerman died peacefully with family by his side.

Born in Akron, Ohio, the youngest of 10 children, Dick enlisted in the Air Force after high school and was stationed in Greenland in the early ’60s. Following his honorable discharge while stationed at McClellan AFB, Dick settled in Davis.

At the encouragement of his older sister, Dick reached out to his oldest brother from a different father, a brother that Dick had never met. Thus, a new chapter in Dick’s life began as the front door of the Slattery family home in San Jose swung open and he was greeted with open arms.

Dick worked for 30 years at UC Davis, where he made lifelong friends and remained an avid Aggies fan. Once retired from UCD, Dick began volunteering at Meals on Wheels in Yolo County.

The diehard L.A. Dodgers fan loved camping, hiking, photography and traveling, but most of all he loved his family. Childless could never be a term to apply to Dick as he was an uncle to more than 50 nieces and nephews, including great and greatgreat nieces and nephews.

In addition, Dick kept lifelong friendships from as early as high school, whom he called brothers and sisters. He became the uncle and godfather to those friends’ children and grandchildren as well.

Dick may have stayed the

coolest bachelor uncle around. He was mischievous and had an infectious laugh, always at the wrong time! His comedic timing was on point up until the end. Most importantly, Dick loved his friends and family without judgment or hesitation. And the love that was communicated back to him in his final days was 1,000 times over.

Even toward the end, Dick showed us his family was a priority. He gave us the gift of bringing the Slattery and Zimmerman families together during his final days. For this special time, we are forever grateful.

Dick was everyone’s uncle and his kind, sweet, and gentle soul has left an incredible impression on how to live and love for all of the people he touched throughout his life.

We are extremely grateful for the exceptional kindness and care from the staff at Excel Care. Donations can be made on behalf of Dick’s name to Meals on Wheels in Yolo County and the Wounded Warrior Project.

A memorial service to celebrate Dick Zimmerman’s life will be at a future date.

KING: Teachers praise seniors for the growth they saw first-hand From Page A1 class of 2021 is resilient, flexible, and inspiring. I am grateful to have these strong young people in my life as an example of strength in the face of adversity.”

Davis school board president Joe DiNunzio followed Buss with a short speech about gratitude, resiliency and happiness. And then members of the King staff gave each graduate a short speech celebrating them and their accomplishments.

Teacher Wes Ruff, in a speech read by Buss, said Kevin Halozan set a King record for deadlifting “which he will no doubt hold for years to come.” Halozan, Ruff wrote, was part of the Iron Club, a weightlifting and fitness club that began in January 2020. And Halozan, who plans to go to college and become a physical education instructor, was always present to pump people up.

And Cody Fields, who spent the better part of three years at King, was celebrated by Buckendorf — in a speech read by Buss — for his growth over the years, and for his passion for history.

Cody Fields, holding his diploma up, was one of 19 King High School graduates honored Wednesday evening.

another speech read by Buss, said Giana Robles “is sunshine in a student,” and that she was always quick to lend a helping hand and warmly interact with teachers and students.

Rachael Boyd was celebrated by teacher Blair Howard for developing her passion in growing food and cooking.

“Rachel came to King, as many students do, a bit uncertain,”

Howard said. “Rachel came out of what might be called a defensive shell to participate in school activities such as the garden and cooking club, which helped reveal Rachel’s interest and passion in

“Cody, or ‘Code Blue’ as he is sometimes called, is one of our long-termers at King, having spent the better part of three years with us,” Buss said, reading Buckendorf ’s words. “We got to see Cody evolve from a wide-eyed kid looking for his place in the world to the kind, intelligent, confident young man you see today. Cody’s integrity is complete. Trust him with absolutely anything. From a secret to a million dollars, Code Blue will never betray you.”

DSIS: Grads find strength in discovering their own way From Page A1 diploma and a red, orange or yellow rose, receiving a personalized speech about their interests, goals and attributes from DSIS faculty members. Because of the independent nature of the school, many of the speeches focused on the individual pursuits of the students, such as jobs, internships classes taken at community college and ways they’ve independently prepared themselves for their next step.

The teachers also talked about why and when the students had come to DSIS and what they’d achieved in their time at the school.

Scarr, the retiring teacher, honored the first set of seniors. She said Pietra Scurro, a homeschooler at DSIS since second grade, has an intense,

mind-boggling drive — she’s picked up internships at UC Davis, taken online math and physics classes, tutored younger DSIS students, become a proficient seamstress and served as student director for the advanced treble choir at Davis Senior High School.

Heidi Huirache, Scarr said, is happy to finish high school after having her first son last year. Scarr added that it became apparent Huirache is a natural teacher — calm, observant, patient — and that her next step is to take a course on creating eyelash extensions and head off to cosmetology school, with a longterm goal of earning a business degree.

Julia Rea, Scarr said, is planning to work as an assistant pastry chef at the Mud Pie Stand Vegan

Bakery in Sacramento, set to open June 16, while taking classes at Sacramento City College. And her long term, Scarr added, is to attend UC Santa Cruz to learn more about food.

“Julia once told me that back in 2019 when she got her driver’s license she was thrilled with her newfound freedom and she felt that nothing could stop her,” Scarr said. “Look how right she was.”

Several of the graduates gave advice in the speeches that were read about them.

Teacher Christien Easton said Keenan Gottschalk realized that, despite spending his entire time in school hating it, he realized it was necessary and became happy when he learned to stop looking at situations in a negative light.

“I highly recommend

work or politics,” Gottschalk said, according to Easton.

Isis Burd, Easton said, recommended that future high-school graduates learn as much as they can while not putting too much pressure on themselves.

Burd recommended that people give themselves time to have fun and enjoy life and those they love, according to Easton.

And Zoe Jacobs, Easton said, recommended that younger students don’t push themselves to fit in where they are not comfortable.

“Don’t push yourself into corners where you don’t feel you belong,” Jacobs said, according to Easton.

“Don’t waste time pretending to be OK with things you aren’t happy with.

There’s always an alternative.”

The top distractions behind the wheel Special to The Enterprise Did you know that a vehicle driven at 55 miles per hour or faster can traverse the length of an entire football field in a matter of seconds?

Driving requires not only knowledge of the rules of the road and skill behind the wheel, but also concentration on the task at hand.

Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates distracted driving has been a significant factor in fatal car crashes. NHTSA says as many as one in 10 deaths are now attributed to driver distraction.

Distractions can come in many forms but fall into one of three categories: manual, visual and cognitive. Any distraction has the potential for serious consequences, including deadly accidents.

Here’s a look at some of the common distractions and how to avoid them.

Mobile phone use Texting while driving is one of the most dangerous forms of distracted driving.

Texting combines cognitive, manual and visual distractions. Turn off phones while behind the wheel to help reduce the temptation to grab the phone.

Daydreaming Being lost in one’s thoughts can be a big distraction. Driving with something heavy on one’s mind can cause a person to lose track of the road. This may occur when experiencing intense emotions, particularly anger or stress.

There’s also a condition called “highway hypnosis” that causes drivers to “zone out” while driving. It often occurs while driving on open highways for extended periods of time. Taking breaks and pulling over if

you notice your mind wandering can help.

GPS unless the car is in park and at a complete stop.

Pets and children

Eating or drinking

Young children or unsecured pets can be very distracting in the car. As a child calls out, begins to cry or wants his or her needs met, drivers may turn to address those needs and take their eyes off the road. Pets that are moving around the vehicle also may distract a driver. All pets and children should be secure in the vehicle at all times.

Taking hands off the wheel to enjoy that drivethru meal can be a mistake. Looking down at food and removing hands from the wheel reduces one’s ability to steer and react immediately to sudden traffic hazards.

If drivers become knowledgeable of the significant hazards of distracted driving, they can make changes to improve overall safety.

Completing certain tasks before leaving home or while the vehicle is parked can reduce the need to multitask while driving.

Adjusting the GPS Recalibrating the GPS or entering an address while driving can be a distraction.

Treasure Sale, Richardson’s work featured Special to The Enterprise

Pence Gallery

he Pence is holding its annual Treasure Sale in our outdoor courtyard from Friday to Sunday, June 25 to 27.

This fundraiser for the gallery’s programs brings some donated items like collectibles, china, antiques, art, small furniture, jewelry, linens and more and offers them for sale to benefit our nonprofit organization. Please bring a mask and social distance. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except for Sunday, when it’s 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

There are some great deals! I just helped with pricing some amazing donations of folk art, baskets and exquisite pottery from one collector. So far we have antique toy cars, china, clocks, books and more.

We are still accepting donations of similar items; call 530-758-3370 if you are interested in donating to the Pence for a tax receipt. You also can just drop off donations at the Pence from 9 a.m. to 4

p.m. Monday to Thursday, June 21 to 24 (please no glassware or large furniture).

Also at the Pence through Sunday, June 27, oil paintings by Joseph Richardson fill the walls of the Andresen Learning Center. Richardson is an emerging artist, who has adventured into landscape painting and is going fullsteam ahead quickly.

His view of the wellknown Stevenson’s Bridge is a great example of his work capturing local landmarks. The bright neon of spray-painted letters and symbols on the bridge contrasts with his darkened, cloudy sky. There is no traffic shown at the entrance to the Winters bridge. We as viewers are invited for a quiet view of a place full of character and expression.

Other of his stellar landscapes include locations such as Dillon Beach and the Diablo Range view of Mission Peak. In these oil paintings, the faint changes of light and color

Joseph Richardson’s “Stevenson’s Graffiti Bridge” in Winters is well known to many locals for its ever-changing graffiti. can lend his work a pensive, almost moody feel, as if the sun can’t quite come through the heavy clouds.

Other subjects such as florals are full of color and light, and I can’t help but appreciate his dedication to the simple beauty of a rose, lily, or other flower.

In all his work, he exhibits a love of nature and of sharing that beauty with

the community. Joseph will be present in the gallery from 2 to 4 p.m.

Saturday, June 19, and all are welcome to see the exhibit and talk with the artist. We will have light refreshments on the balcony. Please bring a mask and social distance if you are attending.

“Exhibit It! A Community Art Exhibit” is truly a

historic event at the Pence, and orientated with the “Community Hang-Up” exhibit in the original Pence building back in the ’70s.

The original idea was to invite the public to share their own works of art in a non-juried display limited only by the number of pieces. Exhibiting artists would vary greatly in

“Ella Baker,” an acrylic on cardboard by artist Jennifer Nachmanoff, is in the “Art. In. Action” exhibit at the Gibson House grounds in Woodland.

By Jeffrey Day Special to The Enterprise The annual exhibition by UC Davis arts and humanities graduate students will showcase works across the disciplines of art, design, music, creative writing, Native American Studies, English, Spanish and French.

The exhibition is hosted by the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art and can be viewed through Sept. 6 on the museum’s website. This is the second year the exhibition will be taking place online due to COVID-19.

“This year’s multidisciplinary online exhibition is a testament to our students’ resilience and creativity.

Their work reveals a thriving creative community that found ways to flourish even during a global pandemic,” said Rachel Teagle, museum founding director.

“I am so grateful to our faculty colleagues and the museum staff who have been collaborating since last fall to create a meaningful culminating experience.”

Despite the pandemic, which has required many of the students to work remotely, 27 students are taking part in the exhibition ­— a number comparable to past years. The majority of participants are

experience, technique and subjects — encouraging many people new to art to exhibit their work for the first time.

The one catch is that we limit the number of artists to 50, and that we do charge a fee for the installation, which is $25 for nonmembers, and $20 for Pence members.

If you are interested, bring one work of art (any medium or theme) to the Pence from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 29, or Wednesday, June 30. We do have a size restriction of 36 inches wide maximum for framed 2D or 3D work in one direction. We don’t allow early drop-offs.

The exhibit is up at the Pence from July 9 to Aug. 19, and we are hoping to have a reception on July 9 from 6 to 9 p.m., pending news from our county and state governments on event restrictions. We also always award an artist a small prize for “Curator’s pick.” This exhibit is sponsored by Michael Crump

This will be the last chance to view the exhibit honoring African American women heroes, civil rights leaders and victims of police brutality through the artwork of Hisani Stenson, Stephanie Thayer, Kate Mellon Anibaba, Seana Burke, Danielle Fodor, Sasha Santer Hill, Nelson Loskamp, Anya McCann, Aislinn Murray, Jennifer Nachmanoff, Gilda Posada, Ruth Santer and Eden Sunday.

The family-friendly event will feature music by DJ Vallas, light refreshments, and art activities including sidewalk chalk drawing and collage creations for all ages. The outdoor gathering will also include a short program with WiLD cofounder Dzokerayi Minya, Sarah Zimmerman, WiLD member, and spoken-word presentations by WiLD members and mentees.

“It has been a pleasure to co-host this art exhibition and the upcoming

Juneteenth celebration with Yolo Arts.

Continuing the conversation on race with the entire family is important, as is participating in events promoting and celebrating BIPOC lives,” said Minya, of WiLD. WiLD is a group supporting women leaders, African American women and other Black, Indigenous and people of color. It was founded out of the desire to bring opportunities to BIPOC young women and aims to break the double glass ceiling that exists for brown girls.

WiLD mentors women of all ages through logistical and community support, empowers young women to pursue leadership roles, and educates the community to bring awareness to systemic barriers of success facing women of marginalized groups through community events.

‘Cruella’: Ninety-eight Dalmatians short This rather odd prequel doesn’t live up to its promise

‘Cruella’ Starring: Emma Stone, Emma Thompson, Joel Fry, Paul Walter Hauser, John McCrea, Mark Strong, Emily Beecham, Kirby Howell-Baptiste and Tipper Seifert-Cleveland Rating: PG-13, for dramatic intensity and mild violence Available via: Disney+ and movie theaters

By Derrick Bang Enterprise film critic This is not your grandparents’ Cruella De Vil. Actually, I’m not sure whose Cruella it is.

Director Craig Gillespie’s fresh take on the character isn’t merely an origin story; it’s a historical rewrite.

The script — which apparently required five credited writers — has absolutely nothing to do with 1961’s animated film or Dodie Smith’s 1956 novel, aside from borrowing the names of a few characters.

That said, “Cruella” is entertaining — to a point — thanks in great part to Emma Stone’s flamboyant, scenery-chewing performance as the title character.

She’s ably supported by the hilariously kitschy efforts of production designer Fiona Crombie and costume designer Jenny Beavan (along with “eyewear designer” Tom Davies, who, quite deservedly, gets his own separate credit).

Gillespie and editor Tatiana S. Riegel romp through all these sets and locations with the giddiness of children on a particularly lavish theme park ride: all manner of extended takes, smash close-ups, cockeyed

Laurie Sparham/Disney Enterprises Inc.

Horace (Paul Walter Hauser, left) and Jasper (Joel Fry) recognize that their equally larcenous partner, Estella (Emma Stone), also has the talent to become a famous fashion designer ... but the chances of that actually happening seem quite remote. camera angles — cinematographer Nicolas Karakatsanis also deserves a bow — and other visual tics and hiccups.

No question: “Cruella” is fun to watch. For awhile.

At 134 minutes, Gillespie’s self-indulgent film is at least half an hour too long.

Cruella narrates her own saga — Stone’s off-camera voiceover — which begins with a rebellious, erratic childhood that matches her alarmingly unusual hair color. Dad is long gone; her mother Catherine (Emily Beecham) is at wit’s end, trying to deal with her unruly daughter (named Estella at this point, and played by Tipper SeifertCleveland).

Hoping to embrace a new beginning, mother and

daughter hit the road … but first Catherine stops at an impossibly posh and massive estate, to meet with somebody inside. Disobeying the order to remain in the car, Estella sneaks around the lavish garden and is just in time to witness a disastrous encounter between her mother and three savage Dalmatians.

Suddenly orphaned, Estella soon falls in with street kids Horace (Joseph MacDonald) and Jasper (Ziggy Gardner), keeping themselves alive as thieves and pickpockets. She proves a good addition to their team, initially as distraction, but the boys quickly realize that she’s way ahead of them in savvy, smarts and planning.

Estella also has a flair for the identity-obscuring

costumes that camouflage their illicit activities.

Flash-forward a decade and change. Estella (now Stone), Jasper (Joel Fry) and Horace (Paul Walter Hauser) still are a successful team and tightly bonded family unit: always assisted by her dog Buddy, and Horace’s Chihuahua, Wink, both similarly adept at larceny.

By this point, Estella’s talent for cutting-edge fashion design has become obvious. Jasper, therefore, pulls some strings and gets her an entry-level job at the world-famous fashion house run by the archly condescending Baroness von Hellman (Emma Thompson). But what should be a golden opportunity crashes to earth when Estella recognizes the

Baroness as the woman her mother went to meet that fateful evening.

This unhappy development resurrects Estella’s darker side — dubbed Cruella — and a desire for revenge that’s accompanied by a similarly strong determination to out-design and out-glam this puffed-up, aristocratic opponent. But how to accomplish that, when our heroine remains a behind-the-scenes cleaning woman?

Unfortunately, the film begins to suffer from bloat at this point; Cruella’s schemes, successes and setbacks becoming tedious, as if the scripters are vamping for time.

Even so, Stone always holds our attention; her crafty, slightly feral gaze always promises mischief, and she’s certainly stylish while dressing to kill.

Thompson’s Baroness is similarly entertaining, with her insufferable ego,

haughty flamboyance, dismissive impatience and fleeting power naps with cucumber slices covering her eyes.

Fry and Hauser are an engaging Mutt ’n’ Jeff team: the former cunning and observant, the latter a goofball who achieves success more by luck than wit.

John McCrea has a terrific supporting role as Artie, a glitzy fashionista with his own vintage shop, whose similarly quirky taste helps Estella embrace her wilder side.

That character emphasizes the notion that this “Cruella” feels more like a riff on “The Devil Wears Prada,” than anything having to do with spotted dogs.

There are no puppy moments here — aside from Buddy and Wink’s occasional antics — and no Dalmatians beyond the three owned by the Baroness.

In short, very little to engage the young viewers being courted by the advertising campaign.

Nor will Stone’s Cruella ever transform into the dog-hating witch of Smith’s story and the 1961 film, with jutting chin and dangling cigarette holder. This Cruella would no more skin dogs for their fur than she’d set fire to a Christian Dior original.

So I’m left wondering: What, precisely, were these filmmakers aiming for?

Thus I get it — it’s very rewarding to see other people appreciate your work and to be able to share it with others. Hope to see you and your work then.

Boca do Rio receives music initiative grant Special to The Enterprise The Davis Independent Music Initiative announces Boca do Rio as the recipient of the 2021 Davis Independent Music Initiative Grant award in its pilot year.

DIMI was founded in 2019 when Joel Daniel, a longtime musician in the area (Contra, The Hoots, Shayna and the Bulldog) applied and received funds from the city of Davis Arts & Cultural Affairs Fund to write and produce an album of new songs.

Daniel was inspired to write the original grant due to the diminishing number of venues in the area for musicians to play, and the general exodus of musicians and artists from the area that resulted.

“It is simply too expensive to make a living doing art while coping with the drastic increase in rents here,” said Daniel on his original motivation. His own rent went up nearly 25% in the past five years.

As part of his proposal, Daniel asked the city not to give him the funds, unless they were willing to give it to someone else the following year, and ideally the following year, with the hope that in 10 years there would be 10 new pieces of music available to the community and world to enjoy (provided that the city continued to have funds available for the arts).

Daniel applied and received funds for the pilot recipient of the DIMI project in 2020 (the second recipient after himself ). A committee of members of the community was assembled (business owners, radio personalities, music fans and musicians) to select a recipient.

The committee struggled with the choices as it had twice as many applicants as expected, but in the end selected Boca do Rio.

Boca do Rio is the pilot recipient of the Davis Independent Music Initiative Grant award. The band will use the money to produce a new album.

Boca do Rio (Boca takes its name from the Portuguese for “river mouth” — the place where myriad streams and sources converge into one powerful, flowing, physical energy.)

The band started flowing when Kevin Welch and Alex Calatayud formed a musical partnership in the late 1990s that would redefine Brazilian music in the Bay Area and beyond. The musical collaboration was founded in deep

respect for past traditions, steeped in the sambas and choros (Brazilian ragtime of a bygone era) that echoed through the Brazilian favelas, while always evolving forward to create an organic sound that is modern and funky.

Boca has a jazz sensibility — “Improvisation is a huge part of what we do,” Welch says — but samba is at the heart of the band’s music.

He goes on, “I think Americans

need to hear samba as much for its spirit as its musicality. It started in favelas, with African roots and rhythms blending with European parlor music, but the thing that’s important for Americans is not just the carnival aspect, but its spirit of celebration. The roots of samba are about community in the groove, just as jazz is about musicians coming together.

There’s a tremendous synergy between jazz and Brazilian music.”

With the $6,500 DIMI grant, Boca will produce a new album of musical work. They will host it on an internet-based platform where it will be available for free to the community, and they will perform the work live in public at least once for free for all to enjoy.

Part of Daniel’s initial grant proposal also included teaching some courses to the community on songwriting, music production, and promotion. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, all things changed, and he shifted to hosting a bimonthly virtual songwriting critique/workshop, the DIMI “Song Doctor/Tune Up” for all members of the community (and region) to attend free of charge and receive feedback on their work. The meetings are held via Zoom at 8 p.m.the first and third Wednesdays of the month.

The Song Doctor/Tune Ups have been well attended and Daniel contends that he has seen a dramatic increase in the quality of songwriting and production from those who have been attending consistently. He encourages all members of the community and region to attend, whether they have written one song or one hundred, or just enjoy discussing writing.

YANCHER: Rocko is on a major roll for UCD From Page B6 in the past can be difficult to sit through.

Next stop, primetime.

TWO MORE HOME RUNS …

Newly minted UC Davis Director of Athletics Rocko DeLuca has been a busy man over the last six months.

EMPLOYMENT HELP WANTED Elementary School Student Activities Supervisor 6 hours/day. $15-20/hour depending on experience.

His two biggest moves since having his interim tag removed in March have been stupendous: UCD came to an agreement with women’s basketball head coach Jennifer Gross that could keep arguably one of the top hoops coaches in the nation tethered to Bike City for the next decade.

The Aggies have also tapped two-time Mountain Pacific Sports

Federation Coach of the Year and former UC Santa Barbara head honcho Matt Macedo as their next women’s swimming-and-diving head coach.

Next stop, the Moon.

Double-duty Devils impressed me this spring

S

LEEPING IN TODAY … If you’ll allow me, I’d like to take a few days to decompress and try to digest this past spring, which featured 44 sports seasons between UC Davis and Davis High, all happening at once.

I’ve put more miles on my Nike sneakers dashing between each event every afternoon than I have from actually running in them for exercise.

Next stop, Fleet Feet.

DOUBLE-DUTY DEVILS …

The most incredible athletic feat I witnessed this spring may not have even been something that happened in a game or match.

Rather, I was impressed most by the handful of student-athletes who elected to compete in multiple sports during the same spring season.

Among the kids who chose to do so were: Maddie Buzbee (track

and field, basketball), Walsh Klineberg (lacrosse, soccer), Alan Favela (golf, basketball), Nika Edson (track and field, volleyball), Andrew Baum (football, track and field), Grace Heringer (lacrosse, volleyball), Zach Brooks (football, wrestling), Kate Nelson (lacrosse, volleyball), Neil Smith (football, soccer) and so many more.

I hereby bestow upon each and every one of them the Yancher Double-Duty Devil Award.

Next stop, Awards and More.

DAN THE PRODUCER … My friend Scott pointed out the other day that with three seniors on the Davis High baseball team committed to continue their careers at the Division-I level postgraduation, that makes 10 D-I commits or draft picks off of former skipper Dan Ariola’s 2018 playoff roster that finished runnerup in the Sac-Joaquin Section.

Next stop, the Blue-and-White Hall of Fame.

Among that group: Ryan Holgate (Arizona), Tyler Mortensen (originally set to play at San Jose State, then was drafted by the San Diego Padres organization), Jack Painter (Cosumnes River, now committed to Cal Poly), Nick Vogt (UC Santa Barbara), Adam Dapkewicz (Georgetown), Jonah Henrickson (UC Davis), Zach Carrell (UCD), Josh Catacutan (Nevada), Rockwell Lybbert (BYU) and Luke Carrell (UCD).

Ariola retired from baseball in 2019. He now coaches DHS golf.

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN... (for the Davis Blue Devil Athletic Boosters Golf Tournament) were the first words of an email that rolled into my inbox on Saturday. The Davis High sports fundraiser will be held Oct. 11 at Wildhorse Golf Club. The event also features a dinner at Wildhorse’s Bunker’s Bar and Grill.

For more information, visit bluedevilboosters.org/annualgolf-tournament/ or email tournament director Chris Ochoa at golf@bluedevilbooster.org. All proceeds from the event directly benefit DHS teams.

Next stop, the links.

AGS ON ESPN?... They might be soon. Thanks to a new, multiyear agreement between the Big Sky Conference and the

“Worldwide Leader in Sports,” Aggie football fans will likely have the opportunity to watch UC Davis play on ESPN as early as this upcoming fall.

As part of the deal, more than 600 Big Sky events in both men’s and women’s sports will stream on ESPN+ and the ESPN App. Davis competes in the Big Sky as a football affiliate member, along with Cal Poly.

The first event on ESPN networks as part of the new deal is the Big Sky Conference’s annual Football Kickoff, which will stream live on ESPN+ on Monday, July 26.

Anyone who has watched Aggie football games over the past several seasons should be dancing at this news, even if UCD games only make it to ESPN3. The Pluto TV broadcasts Davis has appeared on

Perfect Storm DHS grad was in right place for new adventure

By Kim Orendor Enterprise staff writer

“I always enjoyed watching their games,” said Jackson, who majored in psychology and graduated from Indiana in 2019. “I told a few of them that I was asked to join a women’s football team, and they said, ‘If you can do it, do it.’ ” Jackson had to learn the Xs and Os of the game along with how to properly suit up.

“One of my teammates had to put all the pads on me,” Jackson recalled with a laugh. “My first practice, they were going a little easier on me. It wasn’t fullcontact tackle, we just wrapped each other up.”

It was like something out of a movie or at least an EPSN “30 for 30” documentary.

Andi Jackson was going through her normal workout when a stranger changed her life.

“I was just at the gym wearing my Indiana field hockey shirt and one of my (now) teammates came up and said, ‘Hey, have you ever thought about playing football?’ ” the 2016 Davis High graduate recalled.

At the time, Jackson’s work schedule conflicted with the practice and game times of the Nevada Storm, a second-tier team of the Women’s Football Alliance, so she had to say no.

However, a week into the season, her schedule changed and so did her mind.

“I saw Coach (Adam) Barrett at the gym and asked, ‘Are you still playing, and do you still want me on the team?’

If so, let’s do this,” Jackson told The Enterprise in a phone interview from her home in Reno.

That’s when the real Andi Jackson work began as Jackson DHS field hockey turned had never played footprofessional football player ball before outside of powder-puff games.

The Blue Devil field She added she confessed hockey standout’s football to her teammates: “I was knowledge had expanded lifting several times a during her four years at week, but I do not do cardio anymore, so I’m out of Indiana as she became shape. Also, I don’t know friends with some of the anything about football.”

Hoosier football players.

Her teammates were quick to help her navigate her new world. The camaraderie of being on a team was the one thing she understood. Jackson, who was a two-time Eastern Athletic League Defensive Player of the Year at Davis High, enjoys a team environment, team workouts and working toward a common goal.

This year, Jackson’s Nevada Storm is undefeated and travels to play the Portland Fighting Shockwave in its final regular-season game Saturday at 6 p.m. There are more than 60 teams in the league, which is divided into three divisions.

In her two games on field, Jackson has played on both sides of the ball. She’s suited up at running back, tight end, corner and safety —all positions that can end with serious contact. How did the former field hockey player take her first hit?

“It wasn’t at all what I expected,” she said. “It didn’t hurt. They wrapped me up and then all of a sudden I was on the ground, and then I had to get back up.”

While there isn’t tackling in field hockey, Jackson did learn a thing or two that helped her prepare for the sudden impacts.

“In field hockey, I was a defender, and one time, I basically ran through a girl,” she said.

So she may be a little more at home on the

“In football and field hockey, my coaches and teammates were willing to help me. I try to remember that you’re allowed to be scared but you’re not allowed to let it stop you.”

Davis High graduate Andi Jackson (33) races down the sideline en route to a 70-yard gain against the Kern County Crusaders in Women’s Football Alliance action. The former Blue Devil field hockey standout is the newest member of the undefeated Storm. defensive side of the pigskin, but the Storm coaches are not pigeonholing her just yet.

“They’re still learning where to put me,” said Jackson, who had a 70-yard scamper in her second game.

“My first game, the first time they put me at running back, I fumbled,” the 5-foot-7 utility player recalled. “The second game, I ran in a two-point conversion, and the second time, coach said follow (running back) Jesse (Felker) and get through as many players as you can. It happened to go pretty well.”

Lineman Carrie Mackey, who is also the team

president, remembered the play as well.

“She’s been picking up the game fast,” Mackey said.

“She is fun to watch for sure.

And when she got this run, I was so excited for her.”

It’s not surprising how quickly Jackson has picked up her new sport. She did the same thing at DHS with field hockey. The Blue Devils were already an established team when she decided to join with no experience other than a few things her mother showed her.

“The coaches were throwing me into drills,” she said. “Both times, I was so, so nervous and self-conscious, and nervous to make mistakes.

But in football and field hockey, my coaches and teammates were willing to help me. I try to remember that you’re allowed to be scared but you’re not allowed to let it stop you.”

Notes: The daughter of Selene and Dan Jackson, Andi captained the Blue Devils during her time in Davis. From her sophomore to senior year, the Devils amassed a 40-2 record, with two 14-0 undefeated seasons, winning three EAL tournament championships and two regular-season crowns.
