UCD looks at path to citizenship
Back on stage Shows return to Mondavi in October
Study: Would boost GDP by $1.7 trillion
By Jeff Hudson Enterprise correspondent The Mondavi Center’s new online brochure — coming after 1,800-seat Jackson Hall has been silent for more than a year, and the Vanderhoef Studio Theater has hosted daily COVID-19 testing for both campus and community — gets right to the point: In big, bold letters are the words “We Are Back.” To which is added, “After 19 months, the Mondavi Center reopens its doors this fall.” Or as Mondavi’s executive director Don Roth puts it, “Launching a season on the heels of a pandemic year, which kept our theaters dark for more than a year and a half, makes this a truly extraordinary moment.” As you might expect, the 2021-22 season will feature return engagements for some familiar faces who’ve played Jackson Hall before. But quite a few artists and speakers who are new to Mondavi will be seen as well. And the season is organized in a somewhat

A new report from the UC Davis Global Migration Center and the Center for American Progress found that the United States would get a significant economic boost by providing a pathway to citizenship for the country’s roughly 10 million undocumented immigrants. The researchers used an aggregate macro-growth simulation to create a model of what the U.S. workforce and economy would look like if all 10 million undocumented immigrants — as well as certain subsets of that population — were able to legalize their immigration status. Allowing immigrants without status to become U.S. citizens would add roughly $1.7 trillion to the nation’s economy and create 438,000 new jobs, the UC Davis researchers estimated. The report found that providing a pathway to citizenship for all undocumented immigrants would raise the

Supervisors OK $537M budget Yolo County joins rest of state in reopening
By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer Yolo County’s Board of Supervisors approved a $573 million recommended budget for 202122 on Tuesday, a document that will serve as an interim spending plan until a final budget is approved in the fall. Between now and then, the county will be determining how to spend its $42.8 million in American Rescue Plan funds and awaiting a final state budget. What impact the reopening of the economy will have on local revenue also remains to be seen. But heading into summer, the county is “in a

Yolo County on Tuesday joined the rest of the state in moving “beyond the blueprint” and back into a fully reopened economy. The state eliminated its color-coded, tier-based COVID-19 blueprint on Tuesday, removing capacity restrictions on businesses and eliminating masking requirements for fully vaccinated residents in most settings. Unvaccinated individuals will still be required to wear face coverings. The change applies to
all counties in the state, regardless of where they were in the tier system entering Tuesday. As of Tuesday, the following restrictions apply: n Capacity limitations: No restrictions n Physical distancing: No restrictions for attendees, customers and guests. Workers on the job must maintain physical distancing and schools should keep student desks at least 3 feet apart. n Masking: Individuals who are fully vaccinated do not need to wear a mask in most settings.

Incentives don’t have desired effect S O o, giving away $1.5 million to each of 10 vaccinated Californians did little to change the minds of those stubborn souls who refuse to get vaccinated. Nor did giving $50,000 to each of 30 vaccinated Californians move the needle. I’ve said it before and I’ll repeat it now. Refusing to get vaccinated is like driving drunk. You’re a danger to yourself, a danger to all those around you and a danger to society as a whole. It’s no secret that folks in red states are far less likely to have been vaccinated than folks in blue states, which is odd, since all the vaccines currently being put into the arms of Americans were developed at the direction of the Trump Administration, long before Joe Biden had anything to do with it. What Biden successfully accomplished almost overnight was mass distribution of the shots, but the vaccine itself was solely Trump’s doing.

Volunteers clean up downtown By Isabelle Juarez Enterprise correspondent The Downtown Davis Business Association and Lyon Real Estate Davis partnered for a downtown Davis cleanup Friday, June 11. Volunteers from both organizations picked up trash from Second Street, E Street, G Street and the E Street Plaza. A team of 14 volunteers from Lyon and DDBA donned plastic gloves and grabbed trash bags and trash pickers and started their route to collect trash in areas where outdoor dining has resulted in more debris. Both organizations also partnered with Ace Hardware, who supplied trash bags, gloves and other items for the team. “We’re getting out here and taking care of the community that we love,” Amanda Mason, an agent at Lyon, said. While this downtown cleanup is the first hosted jointly by the two groups, Lyon branch manager Laura Murray says the event will continue as an annual community cleanup. Lyon approached DDBA to help organize and participate in the event. “We’re always looking for ways to improve downtown,” Autum Batton, the event coordinator for

Even though California has a better vaccination record than many states, Governor Newsom is still not satisfied, so he’s come up with yet another giveaway program to entice the unvaccinated to roll up their sleeves. I suspect he will continue with these silly prizes until every vaccinated California has won something, even if it’s just 50 cents off on your next Slurpee at 7-Eleven. Even Budweiser has partnered with Joe Biden to offer a bottle of beer for proof of a poke, and if that won’t get Joe Sixpack off the couch and into the clinic, nothing will.
ur dear governor’s latest bribe as part of his Vax for the Win program are six “unique” California dream vacations that are focused almost exclusively on Southern California, which is a strange offering for a guy who used to be the mayor of San Francisco. Said the governor in announcing the latest incentive, “From California’s coastlines to our theme parks to our breathtaking national forests, our state’s diverse terrain and unique communities make us the envy of the world when it comes to tourism.” No argument here. “As we move forward to a postpandemic life, our tourism sector is expected to come roaring back, making us once again a global leader in hospitality and leisure.” The random drawing for all six destinations will take place July 1 and the lucky winners will get $2,000 to cover travel expenses from their home to the prize destination.

DDBA, said. “For the DDBA, it was a great opportunity to get people down here for shopping and dining.” In addition to the cleanup, Lyon will be giving back to the community by donating $10,000 to nonprofits in Yolo County as part of its annual Lyon Cares program. This year, the Yolo County SPCA and Yolo Hospice each will be recipients of $5,000 donations. “Rather than only give money to the community, we wanted to step into the community and make a
difference where we live,” Murray said. After a two-hour walk of trash collection, many volunteers said the items that were most commonly picked up were cigarette butts and disposable masks. The team managed to gather a truck bed full of trash from the streets of downtown Davis, which will now be disposed of properly. “There’s so much trash down here and it’s such a beautiful place,” Batton said. “If we can all get together and help clean up, that’s what we should do.”
Davis police continue to investigate a West Davis assault that left both the victim and suspect injured last week. Lt. Mike Munoz said detectives remain in search of the unidentified intruder, who attacked the victim with a screwdriver during an early-morning altercation in the 2000 block of Russell Boulevard. According to Munoz, the male victim had gone into his back yard at about 4 a.m. June 8 to investigate a garage break-in alarm. “When he went out there, he encountered the suspect. A physical fight ensued, and the victim defended himself with a flashlight that he had,” Munoz said Tuesday. “At some point, the suspect retrieved a screwdriver and stabbed the victim in the hand.” The suspect fled the scene before officers arrived and remained at
large as of Tuesday. He was described as a white male, about 40 years old and 6 feet, 4 inches tall. He may have suffered multiple facial injuries from flashlight blows, Munoz said. In a Nextdoor social media post Monday, the victim’s wife advised local residents to keep handy the Davis Police Department’s direct emergency number, 530-758-3600, as calling 911 from a cell phone goes directly to California Highway Patrol dispatchers and must be rerouted to local police, potentially delaying response. “If anyone is failing to lock their doors or side gates, we would recommend you take the time to do so. Also, if you have a house alarm, don’t forget to set it!” the woman wrote. Meanwhile, anyone with information about the West Davis attack is urged to contact the Davis Police Department at 530-7475400.
Man threatens police, jailed By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer A Davis man is facing criminal-threats charges after allegedly livestreaming plans to shoot local police on social media. Jonathan Dmirit Liggans, 33, came to police attention shortly before 10 a.m. Friday when a Facebook law-enforcement team contacted the Davis Police Department regarding a suspicious video, Lt. Mike Munoz said.
According to Munoz, Liggans live-streamed himself driving by the Fifth Street police station, “saying he was going to shoot the first officer to come out of the Police Department and attempt suicide by cop.” Police tracked down Liggans in Sacramento and took him into custody on a warrant Saturday evening, but did not find any firearms in his possession, Munoz said. He was booked into the Sacramento County Jail.

Substitute sweetener not getting it done R ather shockingly, not every question can be answered by the interwebs. Or it can be answered, but with several startlingly different answers, some very wrong answers or some answers that don’t make any sense. What’s a body to do? In many cases, the answer seems to be “ask Julie.” Since I really like answering questions (not math questions, mind you) that’s just fine with me. Q: I’ve been using monk sugar to replace regular granulated white sugar in baking for health reasons, but the texture is not quite right. It’s almost crunchy or grainy when you eat the baked good it helped to produce. Is there something I can do to the monk sugar to make the texture different? I was thinking of dissolving it in a little hot water, but that can really change a recipe— like cookies, which don’t use water. A: Monk sugar (made from the juice of the monk fruit) is problematic for baking, since it is much sweeter than cane sugar and doesn’t have the same chemical properties. You may do better looking for recipes that call for liquid sweeteners like honey or maple syrup, then making or buying monk syrup. You could also try whizzing it in the food processor to break it down to a finer powder so it’s not as gritty. Sadly, monk sugar is not suitable for recipes like chocolate chip cookies that rely on the texture produced by melting sugar. Q: I like spiders, but my house seems to be overrun with them at the moment. What’s the kindest way to keep them at bay? A: It’s a standing joke that all spring recipes in Davis begin with “remove the spider from frying pan.” This is generally a short-lived problem since the animal kingdom is red in tooth and claw — you can encourage that by cultivating daddy long
Since the apricot crop has arrived in spades, let’s use up the surplus! Ingredients: 1 ounce apricot puree (recipe follows) 1.5 ounces bourbon 0.5 ounce fresh lime juice 1 teaspoon maple syrup or to taste
legs who will sit quietly high up and eat the others, or by buying the children pet lizards. Other than that, frequent sweeping and dusting are your best defense, since spiders find it annoying when you disturb them. You can also try lavender or peppermint in places you really don’t want them, although I’ve never had mad success with that — rosemary is on the list of spider repellants, but in Davis all the rosemary beds are covered in spider webs. Q: I hate s’mores. The endless marshmallow toasting process with disappointing results (burnt or not toasty and melty enough), the mediocre chocolate, the dry and breakage-prone graham crackers. Yet other people seem to love them. Is there a way to make a s’more that I will like? A: This question sparked a lively conversation on Facebook! I can’t be bothered with s’mores, because I don’t like desserts much and I particularly don’t care for marshmallows. I remember this morning, however, that I do rather like a bitter chocolate pudding, and I suspect the s’mores people would be very happy with the following recipe. It’s a great opportunity to break out the tiny kitchen torch! (If you don’t have a kitchen torch, you can toast your marshmallows separately and add them to the pudding. If you don’t like marshmallows, there’s always whipped cream.)

Since the apricot crop has arrived in spades, use up the surplus with this summer cocktail.
S’Mores Parfait Serves 4 Ingredients: 1 cup graham cracker crumbs ¼ cup granulated sugar 2 tablespoons butter 4 cups milk 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped 2/3 cup sugar 6 tablespoons cornstarch 1 teaspoon vanilla Mini marshmallows to taste Putting it together: Make the crumble: Melt butter in a non-stick skillet and stir in graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup sugar. Cook gently, stirring constantly, just until it starts to smell toasty. Remove from heat (seriously, don’t leave it on the electric burner or it will scorch) and reserve. Make the pudding: Put chocolate and milk in large (at least 8-cup) bowl. Microwave on high 1 minute; stir. Continue
microwaving in 1 minute increments until chocolate is melted. Mix sugar and cornstarch together and add to milk. Stir well. Microwave on high for 1 minute and stir gently. Continue microwaving at 1 minute increments, until pudding becomes very thick and no longer looks grainy. Stir in vanilla. Let cool 20 minutes or so. (Don’t like the microwave? Do the same steps in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.) Make the parfaits: alternate layers of pudding and crumble in 4 heatproof containers. Chill at least 4 hours. Finishing: top parfaits with a layer of mini marshmallows. Use a kitchen torch to toast marshmallows to the perfect degree of doneness.
Apricot Bourbon Smash I promised a regular reader a new simple cocktail each month.
Putting it together: Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker (or a Hello Kitty thermos, whatever floats your boat) with ice and shake. Strain into your favorite glass. n If you prefer a tall drink, don’t strain but pour into a tall glass and add fizzy water to fill it up. Stir before serving. n If you like mint, feel free to muddle some in or garnish with a sprig of mint. To make apricot puree: remove pits from ripe apricots. Put apricots in a heavy pan with a lid and add a tablespoon or so of water to keep the bottom from scorching before the fruit gives up juice. Cook, covered, until apricots soften, about 10 minutes depending on ripeness. Let cool, then push through a food mill or strainer. For drinks, I like to doublestrain with the second strainer being very fine. Smart move — cook as many apricots as you have and use some of the puree mixed half & half with good yogurt for your breakfast. ———— A follow up question ... Q: Are baking soda and baking powder interchangeable? A: They are not! If you’re out of baking soda, you’ll need to choose another recipe or go to the store. If you’re out of baking powder, however, you can substitute ½ teaspoon cream of tartar plus ¼ teaspoon baking soda for every 1 teaspoon of baking powder. — Have a question?

The transformation of California chenin blanc
W
hile my recent love affair with Italian whites continues unabated, more and more bottles of chenin blanc seem to make their way onto my table. For Californians of a certain age, the very mention of chenin might bring back unhappy memories of the cheap, usually sweet chenin of the 1970s. A famous New York sommelier recently described California’s chenin history as “inglorious.” Indeed. And the poor grape was blended with who-knows-what and used in wines labeled “Champagne” and “Chablis” in the days when Gallo and friends could get away with such. Now, though, chenin has become trendy among sommeliers and wine writers. Just last week Jancis Robinson opined that “Chenin blanc may be the most underrated white wine grape in the world,” and this week’s New York Times wine school features three chenins from various parts of the world, including California. Wine school “teacher” Eric Asimov writes that chenin blanc is one of his favorite grapes, “with a singular texture and rare versatility.” We recently had a celebratory meal of sushi — our first in a year-and-a-half — for which I bought a justreleased orange from one of my best-loved producers. Though it was delicious, it was all wrong for the sushi — I kept wishing I had opened one of those versatile bottles of chenin instead. And I was delighted with the amazing pairing of chenin blanc with our first fresh corn of the season. I made creamy corn pasta with fresh basil, but chenin would be equally wonderful with grilled cobs rolled in butter. Sounds like a perfect 4th of July celebration to me. Robinson, based in London, wonders if the Loire and South Africa are “the only places where chenin blanc is taken really seriously.” Well, wine lovers know that the Loire’s
Vouvray is a “serious” wine, and my own first taste of a good South African chenin — at a London dinner in the ’80s — was a revelation. But while California as a whole may not rate a “serious” for its cheninmaking, small local winemakers are certainly making “serious” use of this grape. A grape that happens to love the Clarksburg and other foothill terrain. Leo Steen (one of the wine school chenins), Field Recordings, Sandlands, Lieu Dit and Broc Cellars are among our California wineries doing interesting things — including sparklers — with this grape, but Sacramento-based Haarmeyer focuses primarily on it. They source their grapes from several organic vineyards — three on the delta, one in Lodi and two in the foothills. The Haarmeyer family crew — Craig, Alex, Kelly and Marian — take an old-fashioned, minimalintervention approach to their wines, treading the grapes by foot, for example, fermenting naturally with native yeasts, and using no additions or filtration. I’ve previously written about two of the Haarmeyer chenins — the entry-level SRV St. Rey (Co-op and The Pip) and the “en foude” (at The Pip). Just because of price, it’s the former I’ve been stocking up on, a great bargain at well under $20 a bottle. It has plenty of lively fruit — apple, pear, melon — a wonderfully savory, mineral-driven middle, and a crisp citrus-y finish. Every time we open a bottle, my
companion says, “This is such a good wine.” Moving up, though, is definitely a good investment for a special occasion. I wrote about the “en foude” as possibly the best chenin I’ve ever had, but since then I’ve acquired a bottle of the even rarer “sous voile.” Apparently, some of the most celebrated wines in the Jura are made “sous voile” — under the veil. That is, they are aged under a layer of naturally occurring yeast.
T
o make this one, Craig held back one barrel from the ‘14 vintage, “then hauled it to my friend’s local cidery where he graciously allowed us to park our barrels, and then moved it to our own spot in West Sacramento in 2016, where we further neglected it. This wine has never been topped and never sulfured. We racked it cleanly to tank and bottled it. A surface film developed after we got the barrel to our winery.” The result? Vintage Berkeley (the source of my bottle) calls it, “a stunning, once-in-a-blue-moon wonder.” I’m saving it for a special occasion, but I’ll let you know if it lives up to the description. The Pip has recently brought in “Iris,” yet another of the upper tier
Haarmeyer chenins. If you’re as eager as I am to taste it, visit The Pip on Friday, International Chenin Blanc Day. Craig himself will be there from 5 to 7 p.m. for a celebratory tasting of four of his chenin blancs ($10 — what a bargain!). Check out The Pip website for further information. Although Haarmeyer concentrates on Chenin Blanc, they also make a couple of reds — like zinfandel and nebbiolo. Nebbiolo is the grape used to make Barolo and Barbaresco, two of Italy’s most revered wines. But Craig Haarmeyer isn’t imitating those famous stately wines with his nebbiolo. He acknowledges that he couldn’t even if he wanted to — the delta soil of the five rows of grapes he uses is much richer and the weather warmer than in the Northern Italian Piedmont region. His wine veers off in another direction entirely — fresh, light, spicy, and easy wine, tasting of pepper, roses, and summer berries. It’s delicious, eminently food-friendly, and only 12% alcohol. Vintage Berkeley calls it “simply one of the coolest and most covetable Cali reds you’ll try all year!” But you don’t have to go to Berkeley to get it — Amy has it at The Pip ($32), as well as the Haarmeyer St. Rey Zinfandel. At less than 12% alcohol, this zin is definitely not the iconic California zinfandel fruit bomb but, like the nebbiolo, a fresh, light surprise that’s
DESIGNING SPECTACULAR KITCHEN REMODELS!
perfect for summer. Chill it a bit and be prepared for a super acidic wonder. Next on my “to try” list from Haarmeyer is their Calaveras zin. The grapes are from a foothill vineyard that Stevenot planted decades ago. I actually picked grapes there one blistering summer day in the 1970s, an exhausting enterprise that facilitated my decision not be become a farmer. Matthew Rorick (as in Forlorn Hope) bought it in 2012, and since I love Matthew’s wines, I feel doubly connected to this project. If you’re a zin fan and want
to see what innovative winemakers are doing with it and, of course, with chenin blanc, grab a bottle of Haarmeyer, a winery I’m hereby deeming a local treasure. For other “serious” local chenins, the Pip also has Leo Steen, Sandlands and the Broc Cellars sparkling version, and the Co-op has the Broc still chenin. Happy International Chenin Day to all! — Susana Leonardi is a Davis resident; reach her at vinosusana@gmail. com. Comment on this column at www.davis enterprise.com.

BUDGET: ‘Unprecedented times’ MONDAVI: Wide variety From Page A1 above pre-pandemic levels but continues to decline, according to the county’s chief financial officer, Chad Rinde. Home prices and retail sales are at record highs, he said, but the long-term sustainability of both remains to be seen. And while rising home prices benefit those who own property and have seen their equity increase, the flip side is the challenge to those struggling to afford housing in the county. The recommended budget approved Tuesday eliminates 20 full-time equivalent positions while adding 25 elsewhere for a net increase of five new county staff positions. The county’s overall staffing remains well below where it was 20 years ago. In 2002, the county had 9.32 full-time employees for every 1,000 residents. After a steep decline during the recession beginning in 2008, the county now has 7.35 employees for every 1,000 residents. Unfunded liabilities continue to be a significant concern for the county. The pension liability of $350 million has more than doubled in the last
four years despite pension reform lowering the formula for new employees and that liability is expected to grow. “This cost increase is due to changes in CalPERS’ assumed investment earnings, changes in accounting methodology and revised assumptions of higher age retirement,” according to the county. The retiree health liability continues to decline thanks to a pre-funding plan, with the most recent 2020 actuarial study showing an unfunded liability of $65 million, down from $153 million in 2014. The county’s road maintenance liability of $477 million remains unaddressed. Approval of the recommended budget comes during what Kim called “unprecedented times for Yolo County.” “The pandemic has generated significant economic disruption and fiscal uncertainty over the past year,” he said. “At the same time, the one-time federal American Rescue Plan funds offer Yolo County a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity to make community investments to transform the county.” Kim said the county plans a “measure twice, cut

Movement The popular Australian cirque company Circa, which has drawn big audiences at Mondavi in recent years, will bring an all-new program titled “Humans 2.0” to Mondavi on Jan. 28. And choreographer Ronald K. Brown and his dance company Evidence will present a new work titled “The Equality of Night and Day” on Feb. 26.
Global Back again on March 18 will be Ballet Folklórico de Amalia Hernández in a program of Mexican music and dance. And Las Cafeteras will weave stories referencing love and justice in Los Angeles with Afro-Mexican rhythms and rhymes on April 28.
Intersections This series features artists whose work crosses genre boundaries in various ways. The program on Nov. 11 will feature voice-over artist and dialect coach Eliza Jane Schneider in a theater piece about a road trip in America. Another program from Nov. 17 to 19 will feature a music-theater piece by Liz Queler that focuses on the poetry of Edna St. Vincent Millay. And on March 9 and 10, the group Kinetech Arts does a multidisciplinary piece titled “Passages” that explores entropy and time. Composer and instrument-builder Paul Dresher will team up with percussionist Joel Davel to perform duos using some of Dresher’s unusual creations on March 11 and 12. Other unusual offerings include an installation created by artists Ashwini Bhat and Forrest Gander that will be on display from Feb. 14 through May 6, which draws inspiration from the landscapes and views from Mount Tamalpais in Marin County. Flutist, composer and researcher Grace Leslie will be at Mondavi on May 19 with a “brain-body” performance that mixes live performance with electronics triggered by electrical readings coming from Leslie’s brain, heart and skin.
A few more details Will people in the audience at these events need to wear facemasks? “We don’t know for sure” yet, Roth said. He added that the Mondavi Center will be following the latest recommendations from national, state and local health authorities, but since those health authorities have been revising their recommendations in recent weeks, it’s not possible to predict at this point what measures will be in place next fall.

CITIZENSHIP: Potential windfall From Page A1 annual wages of those immigrants by $14,000 within ten years. It would also help the general population, giving a $700-peryear boost to the average nationwide salary. “Creating a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants not only is the right thing to do but also would be a substantial stimulus to the U.S. economy,” the report states. According to the report, the average undocumented immigrant has lived in the U.S. for 16 years. The report’s findings, published this week by the Center for American Progress, were released as the Biden Administration continues to search for opportunities to pass immigration reforms. Shortly after taking office, President Biden introduced an immigration plan, the U.S. Citizenship Act, that would grant a pathway to citizenship for all undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. before 2021. With that plan unlikely to gain the support of enough Republican Senators to become law, immigration advocates have pushed Democrats to include a pathway to citizenship for specific groups of undocumented immigrants in a budget reconciliation package — a move that would require unanimous Democratic support in the Senate. The groups of undocumented immigrants that could be given pathways to citizenship through that process include agricultural workers, immigrants in the U.S. under certain humanitarian protections and immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. The House of Representatives has already passed bills that would allow people in these groups to become U.S. citizens. With this legislation in mind, the UC Davis report also analyzed the impact that granting a pathway to citizenship only to these groups of undocumented immigrants would have on the U.S. economy.
If the federal government passed the American Dream and Promise Act, allowing undocumented immigrants with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to become citizens, it would boost the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by $799 billion over the next decade and create 285,400 new jobs. That legislation would especially boost the earning potential of Dreamers and TPS holders, raising their average yearly salary by $16,800 and also give a $400-per-year boost to the average nationwide salary. Similarly, legislation allowing roughly 5 million undocumented essential workers to become U.S. citizens would add $989 billion to the economy and create 203,200 new jobs. It would raise the wages of those workers by $11,800 per year and the national average wage by $300 per year over the next decade. Passing both the American Dream and Promise Act and creating a pathway to citizenship for undocumented essential workers would boost GDP by $1.5 trillion and create more than 400,000 new jobs, raising those immigrants’ wages by $13,500 and the nationwide average by $600. While the report makes the case that these economic factors are reason enough to show that giving undocumented immigrants a pathway to citizenship is good public policy, it also notes that passing such legislation would likely yield many other benefits. “Importantly, this analysis considers only these direct economic benefits. The model does not capture the potentially large additional benefits to eligible immigrants’ children in education, health, and future productivity gains, as these effects would take place likely more than 10 years from implementation,” the report states. — Reach Caleb Hampton at champton@ davisenterprise.net.

West Nile Virus activity found in Yolo County Special to The Enterprise ELK GOVE — The Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito & Vector Control District announced today that the first signs of West Nile virus activity have been detected in Yolo County as one mosquito sample collected from Knights Landing has tested positive for the disease. At the same time, West Nile virus activity continues to gradually increase in Sacramento County as more mosquito samples and dead birds tested positive from areas in Galt, Orangevale and Citrus Heights. “With the hot temperatures we had recently, West Nile virus activity is steadily increasing,” said Gary Goodman, district manager. “This year, activity has started earlier than in recent years. This is a cause for concern, especially as summer is around the corner and we are approaching the hottest months of the year when activity typically intensifies. We urge residents to continue taking proper precautions to protect themselves from mosquitoes,” Goodman added. In response to the recent findings, the district will continue to monitor West Nile virus activity through widespread mosquito trapping
and testing and will perform ground treatments in areas where positive mosquitoes have been found to quickly decrease populations and protect public health. Another ongoing concern is the invasive mosquito Aedes aegypti. Invasive mosquitoes were detected for the first time in 2019 in Citrus Heights. This year, surveillance efforts have already detected invasive mosquitoes in the city of Winters in Yolo County and in the Arden-Arcade area of Sacramento County. For current information about District activities, please visit www.FIGHTtheBITE. net. Practice the District D’s of mosquito prevention: n Drain standing water that may produce mosquitoes. n Dawn and dusk are times to avoid being outdoors. n Dress appropriately, wearing long sleeves and pants when outside. n Defend yourself by using an effective insect repellent. n Door and window screens should be in good working condition. n District personnel are also available to address any mosquito problems.

Madeline Bright is this year’s UC Davis University Medal recipient, awarded for excellence in undergraduate studies, outstanding community service, and the promise of future scholarship and contributions to society.
Questions drive top UCD grad She plans to pursue career in medical research By Julia Ann Easley Special to The Enterprise When Madeline Bright was young, she was told she asked a lot of questions. Today that same curiosity is leading her toward a career in medical research where she hopes to find life-saving answers. The resident of Sunnyvale is being honored as the top graduating senior at UC Davis during its virtual graduation celebration, available online since Friday, June 11. Like hundreds of other graduates this commencement season, the neurobiology, physiology and behavior major marched in one of the inperson processionals from June 10 to 13. The University Medal is awarded for excellence in undergraduate studies, outstanding community service, and the promise of future scholarship and contributions to society. The winner receives a plaque and $2,000. Bright said the award affirms the direction she’s chosen for her career. “Because it’s such an important life decision, it’s nice to be recognized by others,” she said. “It’s nice there are people who
believe I will make a difference.” Bright has not only built an outstanding academic record at UC Davis, but she has also been a research assistant, worked as a tutor, studied abroad in Ireland, won recognition for presentations at academic conferences and served her community. Julin Maloof, professor and chair of the College of Biological Sciences’ committee that nominated Bright for the award, said she is driven to exceptional achievements by a passionate desire to help others and to make the world a better place. “She has thought carefully about how to contribute to human well-being … and there is no question that she will make a difference!” he wrote in a letter of recommendation.
Influences toward medicine and research As a child, Bright’s positive interactions with doctors made her want to become one, she said. Her interest in oncology grew as she saw one of her teachers at Homestead High School in Cupertino receive chemotherapy. “For me it was that transformation, her personal growth and seeing her on the other side,” Bright said. In a chemistry class in her first quarter at UC Davis, a teaching assistant
ignited Bright’s fascination with research when he explained how research changes medicine. “The thought of contributing to a constantly evolving field and answering questions that no one else can, or has even thought of, is exhilarating,” she said. By the winter quarter of her freshman year, Bright began as a research assistant in Professor Sheila David’s lab, where she manipulates the building blocks of DNA to understand how repair enzymes recognize and repair cell damage. David said Bright has tremendous potential as a researcher and scholar. “I suspect that she will have a significant impact on the advancement of cancer research,” she said. Bright won the Francesca Miller Undergraduate Research Award in 2019 to support full-time summer research in chemistry and other awards for research presentations at academic conferences. She also received the Marion Freeborn Scholarship for juniors who demonstrate academic achievement, community service and leadership skills.
Active in community service Bright’s volunteer work includes service at the student-run Willow Clinic of Sacramento, which
provides medical and mental-health services for people without stable housing. Bright revamped Willow’s website and, for its obstetric and gynecological clinic, led initiatives to develop pamphlets on common health topics and to strengthen connections with other UC Davis organizations addressing women’s health. Recently, she started volunteering as a wheelchair assistant at the Sacramento Veterans Affairs Medical Center and helping Sacramento Street Medicine hand out supplies to the unsheltered.
Looking ahead “My understanding of research, medicine, who I am and who I want to be has evolved through my time at UC Davis,” Bright said. She plans to pursue advanced studies in a joint medical and doctoral program and then work in an academic hospital doing research and clinical work. In addition to cancer, her interests include women’s health, stress physiology and efforts to better represent diverse populations in medical research. As Bright applies for admission to medical school, she plans to continue tutoring at UC Davis over the summer and seek employment as a medical scribe. — UC Davis news

The Davis school board on Thursday is set to approve the district’s 2021-22 budget, hear the annual report from the independent Measure M Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee and adopt the Local Control Accountability Plan for 2021-24. Additionally, the board trustees will discuss the results of their listening tours this year, an annual activity carried out by the trustees since the 2017-18 school year that involves the trustees visiting various school sites and asking students questions. The listening tour reports will likely be unique considering the unique circumstances of the year with the COVID-19 pandemic, distance learning and related restrictions.
Budget The district’s budget for the next fiscal year, which needs to be approved by the end of the month, is based on Gov. Gavin Newsom’s budget proposal last month. The budget will be revised after the state approves its budget before July, according to the agenda documents. Depending on how much changes, a special school board meeting could potentially be held during the summer for budget adjustments. At a school board meeting earlier in June, Amari Watkins, associate superintendent of business services, said the district anticipates budget deficits in future years and will need to cut an estimated $1.58 million from the 2022-23 budget and $1.04 million from the 2023-24 budget. There are several reasons why the district budget will be relatively fine in the upcoming year but faces challenges beyond, according to the agenda documents. For one, the district has been bolstered by one-time COVID-19 funds — there’s about $8.5 million in COVID19 resources left out of $20 million the district received in total, according to the agenda documents. Additionally, a cost of living adjustment from the state will be boosted in the upcoming fiscal year to make up for the lack this year. And the district is also being funded by the state based on enrollment before COVID-19. But the district is also facing increased costs in pension funds, and a potential decline in enrollment which essentially means a decline in funding. Though the district’s enrollment has generally been offset by increasing the number of nonresident students in Davis schools, the ultimate

impact of the pandemic on enrollment and funding is still unknown, according to Watkins. The district lost roughly 300 students from the 2019-20 school year to 2020-21, which Watkins said at a past meeting adds up to roughly a $3 million loss.
Local Control Accountability Plan The Local Control Accountability Plan is a three year plan mandated by the state which describes how the district’s spending aligns with state goals and local priorities. The 54 pages of the district’s LCAP update, and the LCAP update for Da Vinci Charter Academy, is available as an attachment to the meeting agenda. The district’s LCAP goals include: all students will experience 21st century teaching and learning; DJUSD educators will close the opportunity gap; and classrooms and school communities will be inclusive and safe environments. The LCAP update document includes specific items that help achieve these goals — such as “support career technical education” for the 21st century teaching and learning goal — and analysis of the goals themselves. Many of the noted challenges associated with each of the goals have to do with programs that couldn’t be implemented because of the pandemic. For example, the district lists several successes and challenges toward achieving goal two of the LCAP, closing the opportunity gap. One challenge was internet connectivity, which challenged access to school for students, particularly those who lacked access to technology at home or were food or housing insecure. A listed success is that grading practices were revised as a result of the pandemic — elementary school staff moved to concise standards based on the district’s Graduate Profile competencies and secondary schools moved to a Pass/No Pass system to promote equitable outcomes for students during the initial stages of the pandemic last year. The document, among much else, also contains analysis of the district’s actions over the past year and analysis of general student situations — pupil learning loss, school nutrition, public and family engagement and outreach, as well as mental health and social and emotional well being. — Reach Edward Booth at edward.booth@ mcnaughton.media.

FC Davis opens Women’s Premier soccer action with win By Will Wyman
for a second time from a set piece. Former Blue Devil great and San Jose State Spartan Gaby Herrera whipped an inviting ball into the area for Davis which was flicked onto the back by Jackie Koerwitz. Molly Branigan arrived on the end of the looping ball and headed it past the San Ramon keeper, sealing the result for the debutante squad. The Lioness will be on the road again against the Bay Area Surf on Wednesday before returning to Davis for their home opener against the Pleasanton Rage on Saturday night at 7 p.m. at Playfields Staduim. The game will be open to fans and tickets are available through the FC Davis team website at footballclubdavis.com. The FCD women will enter the Wednesday match with a 1-0-0 record with hopes to keep the undefeated streak going into Saturday’s game in front of the Davis faithful.
Enterprise staff writer Last Saturday marked the beginning of a new era in Davis’ deep-rooted soccer history: FC Davis kicked off with men’s and women’s matches for the first time. The local squads were able to find the winning formula, with the men securing a 6-1 victory, and the women earning a 2-0 result. Here’s how the Golden Lions fared ...
Women Women’s soccer is an undisputed pillar of the sport in Davis and the greater Sacramento and Yolo County areas. Davis’ rec, club, high school and college squads frequently dominate the competition and send countless players on to the next level. Now, for the first time ever, Davis is home to that next level within the Women’s Premier Soccer League. FC Davis officially launched its women’s soccer team, the Lioness, after many months of planning and postponements. The squad is filled to the brim with area stars that fans will recognize, particularly from the dominant Davis High and UC Davis squads. The women opened up their inaugural season in the WPSL (the second step in the women’s soccer pyramid in the United States) with a trip down to the bay to take on San Ramon FC. The visitors got off to a flying start at Tiffany Roberts Stadium on Saturday evening, opening the team’s scoring account after just six minutes of play when the Lioness punched in a shot off a deflection. The teams went back and forth for the remainder of the first half, with Davis goalie

Playfields Park has become synonymous with FC Davis over the past couple of years. The Golden Lions have established themselves at the South Davis soccer pitch, attracting large crowds in the days before the pandemic. The usually mundane and bare fences surrounding the turf field are adorned with banners during the soccer season, featuring striking black and gold lettering and logos to add to the home atmosphere. However, that atmosphere has always been punctuated by the roaring fans that fill the concrete stands and lawn chairs surrounding the field. This season’s home opener was played behind closed doors on Saturday night as a result of health and safety restrictions put in place by the county. The
stadium that is usually teeming with life and local support was mostly silent on Saturday, so the Golden Lions had to bring the spirit and energy from within. And boy did they deliver. The Lions came out hard and fast, making quick work of an Oakland Stompers side that has started the season 0-2 while conceding an eye-watering 12 goals in NPSL play. The match’s result seemed to be set in stone before the first ball was kicked as the reigning league champions welcomed the lackluster Bay Area visitors. Carlos Robles opened the Lions scoring account on the day, notching his second goal in as many games for Davis to open the season. Titus Washington, Evan Barrett, Caua Soares and Pablo Roas also contributed to the goal total for the home team. In the end, the damage was six goals for the hosts, eclipsing the Stompers’ single score. The emphatic win maintains FC Davis’ joint first-place position in the NPSL’s Golden Gate Conference. The Lions will hit the road this Saturday, heading down to San Francisco to take on El Farolito, one of the teams that sits in first alongside the Lions. The match will have major implications on the final season standings, but the Lions will be up for the challenge. Davis will return home and officially open its doors to fans for the squad’s rivalry game, the Causeway Clasico, against Sacramento Gold on June 26. It will be the Lions’ first men’s home match with fans in well over a year. — Reach Enterprise staff writer Will Wyman at wymanw26@gmail.com. Follow him via Twitter at @wyman_ why.
Davis Little League City Championships
Giants top Yanks for Majors’ title By Lev Farris Goldenberg Enterprise staff writer Families and fans packed the stands, and kids in jerseys peered through chainlink fences at Davis Little League on Saturday night for the Majors City Championship game between the Giants and the Yankees. They were there to witness the first DLL title game played since the pandemic ground youth sports to a halt last spring. The Giants and Yankees did not disappoint. In a tight contest, the Giants beat the Yankees, 5-3, behind solid pitching and timely hitting from the likes of Brannon Hicklin, Everett Beason and Xavier Becker. “I think all of us were ready to get back on the field,” said Giants head

coach Marc Ross. “They all committed to it and we worked together and had our highs and lows like any team during the season. But it really came together towards the end, and it was really awesome to see how every kid contributed.” The Giants jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first thanks to a leadoff triple from Hicklin — who scored on a pass ball — and a twoout, RBI single up the middle from Becker. Manbir Singh, Jackson Wallace and Parker McMahon added base hits in the second and third as the Giants tacked on two more runs. They had to scratch out these runs against one of the Yankees toughest aces, Will Doughty, who pitched all five innings for the Bombers. “He’s a pretty good pitcher ... he’s got a great curveball,” Giants first baseman Eli Meis, who recorded the final out of the game, said of Doughty. Meanwhile, Beason, McMahon and Wallace combined on the mound to hold the Yankees to two runs through the first four innings. They got some help from Becker at second base, who gobbled up every ball that came his way, including two sliding stops to his left. “He started off the game with some awesome defensive plays,” Ross said of Becker. “He had a phenomenal game, really stood out. He definitely turbocharged our defense, right from the first inning.”

From Page B2 But the Yankees made a late push and cut the lead to two behind a single from Doughty and an RBI double from Will Cutler. The Giants turned to Tyler Ross to pitch the last two frames and he delivered the save, quelling the Yankee rally. “Pretty exciting to see a 10-year-old close us out, to get the last six outs against a lot of 11- and 12-year olds; that’s pretty special,” the coach said. The Giants had to get past a slew of tough competition to reach the title game. They beat the A’s in a nine-inning thriller, then handled the Reds before getting past the rival Dodgers. Their opponents in the championship game proved just as tough. Coming into the title bout, the Giants were 0-2 against the Yankees in the regular season.

For the Yankees, Cutler reached base three times, Doughty ripped two hits and Tucker Elliot, Alexander Barr and Vinny Fernandes all collected base knocks. “That’s a fine team,” Ross said of the Yanks. “They’re the other team in the league who can hit from top-to-bottom. Every hitter on their team can hit and they put pressure on defenses.” Notes: Doughty, Owen Withrow, Max O’Geen and Jude Robinson each received DLL’s 2021 Scott Heinig Memorial Awards for sportsmanship. Heinig — a former Davis High and UC Davis pitcher — led the Blue Devils to back-to-back Metro League titles and was named conference MVP his senior season. The 22-year-old died in 2011 after suffering a head injury at a Picnic Day party. — Reach Enterprise staff writer Lev Farris Goldenberg at levfg2000@gmail.com.

Commentary Replace gas tax in transition to zero-emission cars By Loren Kaye Special to CalMatters
I
t’s full steam ahead for the Newsom administration’s zero-emission vehicle strategy. But this enthusiasm for a new generation of automobile technology may degrade the very roads they drive upon. The governor kicked his clean car initiative into high gear last September with an executive order requiring all new cars and passenger trucks sold in California be zero-emission by 2035. He went further in January by earmarking nearly $1.5 billion of one-time and future revenues to increase the pace and scale of new electric vehicle charging and hydrogen fueling stations, and provide subsidies for new and used zero-emission vehicles and equipment. These carrot-and-stick policies may substantially advance the sales and use of zeroemission vehicles. But for every gasoline- or diesel-powered vehicle retired and not replaced, California’s enormous transportation network will get a little grittier. California policymakers have long known that improved efficiencies of combustion engines and the introduction of vehicles that do not use gasoline or diesel erode transportation revenues. Even without the governor’s directive, gas taxes will be inadequate to meet future system repairs and improvement because gasoline use is becoming disconnected from road use. In a triumph of technology and market forces, cars have become far more fuel efficient, driving down revenues from the gas tax. Legislators recognized this in 2017 when, as part of the comprehensive transportation tax and revenue bill, they included a first-ever $100 fee on zeroemission vehicles to ensure ZEV users help pay for the roads. But this modest fee was not designed to offset the anticipated transition from gasoline and diesel to electricity and hydrogen. A recent study by the Mineta Transportation Institute at San Jose State University took a careful look at economics, travel behavior, vehicle fleet trends and policy choices to develop six transportation revenue scenarios. In five of the six scenarios, researchers found revenues from gasoline and diesel sales would decrease from $2 billion to $4 billion in inflation-adjusted revenues by 2040. The solution to this revenue mismatch is to stop depending on a diminishing revenue source. Instead, the administration and Legislature should reinvigorate a flagging effort to research and introduce a road users charge — in effect trading taxes on fuels for a fee on miles traveled. This is not a new idea. Since 2017 state policymakers have had a road map to test and implement the next generation in transportation finance — a fee based on the actual use of the state transportation network that puts a premium on user choice and personal privacy protection. In the spirit of a true user charge, the proposal envisions a broad application of the mileage fee, with no exemptions and no rate differentials — at least in the testing phase. The fee would replace, not add to, the existing gas tax. Just last year the state’s California Transportation Commission declared, “the gas tax clearly will not be a sustainable financing mechanism for transportation in the coming decade and therefore work needs to accelerate to implement a per mile road charge as an alternative.” The commission recommended the Legislature authorize a pilot program to test actual revenue collection for a select group of vehicles. The timing of this couldn’t be better. President Joe Biden’s choice for Transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, is a proponent of road user charges, floating the idea of such a fee to enhance the federal highway trust fund — likely in recognition of the Biden administration’s commitment to raise automobile fuel efficiency standards. For more than half a century, Californians have invested heavily in a state transportation network that serves commerce, the workforce and social cohesion, connecting Californians to each other and the world. Policymakers should maintain our historic commitment to this important asset even as they embark on the difficult task of reducing vehicle carbon emissions. — Loren Kaye is president of the California Foundation for Commerce and Education, a think tank affiliated with the California Chamber of Commerce.
Assault weapons are not a right
R
arely does a day go by in the United States that there is not a mass shooting, and in most cases the attackers fire military-style assault weapons. As of June 13, we have had 270 cases in 2021 where four or more people, not counting the assailants, have been shot. By contrast, Australia has not had a single mass shooting in 25 years. Not even one! In 1996 — after a massacre in Tasmania in which a lone gunman killed 35 people with an assault weapon — Australia banned all semiautomatic rifles and all semi-automatic and pumpaction shotguns. That law literally has saved thousands of lives. Australian is sane. We are crazy. And, due to the dominance of conservatives in our judiciary, we are getting even crazier. Two weeks ago, right-wing U.S. District Court Judge Roger Benitez threw out California’s 32-year-old law banning semiautomatic assault weapons. Judge Benitez, who also ruled in 2019 that California’s ban on large capacity magazines was unconstitutional, wrote, “The Second Amendment is about America’s freedom: the freedom to protect oneself, family, home and homeland. California’s assault weapon ban disrespects that freedom.” Really? How protected and free do you feel when, for example, you go to a concert and a man with an assault rifle and large-capacity magazines shoots 469 people, killing 58? That can not happen in Australia or in any sane country. That only happens in our country because we allow civilians to possess weapons of war. Judge Benitez wants assault weapons in the hands of civilians so you can protect your family.
R
eading the Benitez decision in Miller v. Bonta, it’s worth asking if he is sane. His decision is riddled with falsehoods. Apparently, facts don’t matter to him. Judge Benitez writes that mass shootings are exceedingly rare. “More people have died from the Covid-19 vaccine than mass shootings in California.” So far, in all of the United States, three people have died from the Covid-19 vaccine. Just three. Nine innocents died in the mass shooting at the VTA in San Jose only two weeks before Benitez made this bogus claim. Fourteen were slaughtered in the San Bernardino massacre. Twentyone at the San Ysidro McDonald’s. Twelve in Thousand Oaks. In total, at least 241 people have been shot and killed in mass shootings in our state. Judge Benitez also claims that it is a myth that “semiautomatic weapons are more lethal” than other weapons. Before writing this
mishigas, Benitez should have listened to Dr. Heather Sher. She was the radiologist on duty at a Florida trauma center when victims from the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre arrived. In The Atlantic, Dr. Sher wrote, “… bullets fired by an AR-15 are different: They travel at a higher velocity and are far more lethal than routine bullets fired from a handgun. The damage they cause is a function of the energy they impart as they pass through the body. “A typical AR-15 bullet leaves the barrel traveling almost three times faster than — and imparting more than three times the energy of — a typical 9mm bullet from a handgun.” It is true that most people killed by firearms in the United States are not killed in mass shootings or by killers firing assault rifles. In the last five years for which we have data, 23,437 per year die from gun suicide. Another 14,062 are murdered with guns. Those grim statistics don’t suggest banning all military assault weapons is pointless. Doing so nationally would still save thousands of innocent lives. Even better would be to have real gun control. Unfortunately, as long as our judiciary is dominated by rightwing extremists, we won’t address our national insanity. We won’t regulate gun ownership, and we won’t prohibit gunmen from having military weapons with high-capacity magazines like those used in Sandy Hook, Las Vegas, Orlando, Virginia Tech, Sutherland Springs, Luby’s, the El Paso Walmart, the Aurora theater, etc., etc., etc. — Rich Rifkin is a Davis resident; his column is published every other week.

DJUSD future budget issues Thanks to The Enterprise for continued in-depth reporting of deliberations of the DJUSD Board of Trustees. On Wednesday, Edward Booth reported a presentation regarding the 2021-22 district budget acknowledging a small operating surplus for the forthcoming budget but projecting significant deficits over the next few years. As reported by Booth, Trustee Adams stated, “We have a smaller pie to work with, …. in the out years things look difficult.” Trustee DiNunzio noted, “We are in a situation where we’re going to need to make $2.6 million in reductions between ’22-23 and ’23-24.” It’s interesting to note that these two gentlemen last November, as members of a “lame-duck” board, two days after an election that selected a new board majority, a majority that would not be seated for another month, voted to extend the contracts of senior district administrators through the 2024-25 school year and provide a double-digit pay increase to the Superintendent. The question arises why, after Davis voters in June 2020 increased their property taxes $200 per year to fund teacher salaries and the state of California contributed multiple millions of additional dollars to the district have they now become fiscally concerned. For years, they’ve supported increases in administrative staff but asked the voters to pay our teachers. My thought, it must be time to begin future contract negotiations with the Davis Teachers Association, they are conditioning us for low-balling teacher pay. The No. 1 responsibility of the DJUSD Board is to provide excellent education opportunities for our students, and I

Really? Were the 20 children and six adults safer at Sandy Hook Elementary because a madman had a Bushmaster assault rifle with high-capacity magazines to slaughter them with? American courts agree that U.S. Constitution does not guarantee an unrestrained right to own any and all guns or weapons of war. A lawabiding adult cannot, for example, possess his own nuclear weapon. Yet as interpreted by a 5-4 majority of the Supreme Court — in the 2008 case, District of Columbia v. Heller — “The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.” Unfortunately, the Second Amendment is poorly written. It’s far from obvious the court majority was correct in Heller. The original intent appears to be about collective self-defense, not a limitless individual right: “A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” There is no mention of an individual in that convoluted compound phrase. We know from American history that the Second Amendment firstly regards what is necessary for the security of a free state, not household defense. The Second Amendment derives from Section 13 of the
Virginia Declaration of Rights. That document was the source of the Bill of Rights. Section 13 is straightforward: “That a well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural and safe defense of a free state; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.” No sane jurist would interpret that to mean there is an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a well-regulated militia. Yet that is what Antonin Scalia and four others decided in 2008.

‘Everyone’ is a lot of people “Everyone I have met who is concerned about Palestinian rights are anti-racists and concerned about injustice everywhere,” said Roger Buxton. Hmm … How familiar are Mr. Buxton, and everyone he has met, with the ravings of Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Louis Farrakhan, or with this, from the New York Times (https://www.nytimes. com/1948/05/16/archives/jews-in-gravedanger-in-all-moslem-lands-ninehundred-thousand-in.html).

The Palestinian identity is a recent construction, per UNWRA (https://www.unrwa.org/palestinerefugees). In 2006, as in 1948, this was the message from Arab leaders: “Hassan Nasrallah yesterday warned all Israeli Arabs to leave the port city of Haifa so the militant group could step up attacks without fear of shedding the blood of fellow Muslims.” (http://archive.boston.com/news/world/ middleeast/articles/2006/08/10/ hezbollah_leader_urges_israeli_arabs_ to_leave_haifa/) What do those Mr. Buxton meets who are “concerned about injustice everywhere” have to say about the long history of injustice against Jews?

Early-morning hikes and bird strolls
W
ant a challenging hike with the reward of a spectacular lake view? Time to head out to the Stebbins Cold Canyon Reserve, a steep canyon in the California Coast Range, just 35 minutes from Davis. It’s still beautiful though tragically altered by repeated fires — in 2015 and in 2020. You’ll need to go on a cool, early morning since there is no longer shade on this hike. With good intentions, we headed out at 7 a.m. and discovered a flat tire. Some days are like that, but we still got out there by 8:30 a.m. We chose to do the first part of the Homestead Trail, a 1,000foot climb up a wellmarked path. When we reached the top, we looked for a good lunch/rest spot looking out over Lake Berryessa. Then we headed back down again. It has been a favorite hiking spot since we moved to Davis in 1970. Back then, I only knew it as the Keep Out Place. A neighbor told us he had hiked there many times and was usually the only one there. No sign of owner activity. So we drove out through Winters, up Road 128 to the Keep Out Place and did hikes for many years. It eventually became part of the
UC Reserve System, one of five reserves administered by UC Davis. It is a popular hiking place now used by many friendly people of all ages. We used to climb the west side of the East Ridge, a steep trail filled with poison oak. When we got to the top, we would look out over the valley. I had not realized I lived in a valley until I climbed up there and looked down on Winters, Davis and land all of the way to the Sierra Nevada. I am geographically challenged, and my life was busy with jobs and home life — too busy to develop a sense of place. Easter Sunday, we’d hike there and eat a turkey sandwich at the top. Purple/blue lupine flowers bloomed to my height at that time of the year. Now, we favor the trail on the other side of the creekbed to get us good views of Lake Berryessa. We use hiking poles to help our aging bodies. We wear hats, carry water and stop to drink and do the slow climb. As we climbed, several

It’s interesting to note which plants are coming back. Yerba santa, which means holy herb, is growing enthusiastically. It’s an oily-looking plant with long leaves used for its medicinal properties by Native Americas primarily to treat lung disorders. Chamise, a dense shrub with needle-like leaves is resprouting from burned roots. And there’s lots of poison oak. There is some along the side of the trail, so look it up before you go to avoid touching it. It’s a small shrub or vine with three oily, green leaflets. Red leaves in early spring, catkins of white flowers. After it loses its foliage, there are clusters of
green-brown berries enjoyed by birds. There were few birds since trees have burned. We also missed seeing newts and lizards. We were happy to see several pipevine swallowtail butterflies. But it is exciting to have a mountain to climb with a view at the top. ———— We are fortunate to have hikes closer to home and guided bird strolls offered each month. This is the slowest time of the year for birds. In spite of that, they spotted 28 species at First Wednesdays at West Pond. First Saturdays at North Ponds, four small groups combined found 37 species. There is little water in the Julie Partansky Wildlife Area, much to the delight of black-tailed
jackrabbits, which are actually hares since their young are born with fur and open eyes. They frolic where there was once a pond. All are welcome to these free strolls led by experts. Check the Facebook pages for both West Pond and Friends of North Davis Ponds for events, photos and videos. Bluebirds and tree swallows are inhabiting Davis nestboxes. Alison Ke, a UC Davis graduate student in ecology, reports that there have been 18 nesting attempts in 11 boxes along the greenbelt between the Veterans Memorial Building and the Northstar Pond. They have banded 48 chicks, primarily Western bluebirds. At the five Uplands Open Space nestboxes along F Street and Anderson Road, five Western bluebirds and five tree swallows have fledged and nesting is still going on.

Three barn owlets have fledged along the greenbelt that goes along the north side of town. These owlets sit together, across from the nestbox where they were born as night comes. They are probably about 11 weeks old. By week 13, they will probably leave their home range. On the other side of town are three great horned owls that fledged near the fourth hole of El Macero Country Club. There are barn owls on the 15th hole. Thanks to Larry Hoffman for the alert and Michael Reinhart for a beautiful photograph. It is so helpful and exciting to get alerts from readers around town. What exciting bird happenings do you find in your area? — Jean Jackman is a Davis resident. Her columns appear monthly. Got a story, question, photo or comment? Contact her at JeanJackman@gmail. com
