Council looks at housing element Measure J still untouchable

Summer schools see record enrollment

By Joe Hong CalMatters The stakes are high this summer for South Los Angeles parent Renee Bailey. Her daughter Cali just finished kindergarten, but she spent most of it on a computer screen at home where her reading, arithmetic and handwriting skills all declined.

“Overall, it kind of hindered her self confidence,” Bailey said. “We’re hoping to rebuild that so when she goes into first grade she’ll feel comfortable raising her hand.”

Bailey said she will decide whether or not to advance Cali into first grade this fall after seeing how much progress the 5-year-old makes over the summer. Fortunately, Los Angeles Unified is offering in-person summer school to all its students.

Not all California parents will be so lucky.

After 15 months of the pandemic, during which most students learned at home, a spring infusion of $4.6 billion from the state is allowing some districts to increase summer enrollment tenfold. Others are offering it for the first time in years, and even then only to some students.

Staffing was the biggest challenge.

Districts statewide have struggled to recruit enough teachers who are willing to work through the summer after an exhausting school year, even with the additional financial incentives.

But whatever their districts are offering, educators statewide agree: Summer school won’t be a panacea to the academic, social and emotional turmoil students have experienced since March 2020.

Big offers for big districts

Angeles and San Diego Unified, the state’s two largest, are offering inperson summer school to all students.

Some summer classes at Los Angeles Unified have filled up, but a district spokeswoman said the district is working to accommodate all students.

At San Diego Unified, a record 22,000 of 98,000 students have enrolled for summer school. Fewer than 3,000 students enrolled for summer school in the summer before the pandemic, according to Nicole DeWitt, an instructional support officer at the district.

The expanded offerings are made possible by the additional $4.6 billion in state funding for summer school, tutoring and mental health services.

Most of that money is going to teacher pay. Districts set summer

Face masks block expired particles, despite leakage

By Andy Fell Special to The Enterprise A new study from UC Davis and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai confirms that surgical masks effectively reduce outgoing airborne particles from talking or coughing, even after allowing for leakage around the edges of the mask. The results were published June 8 in Scientific Reports.

Wearing masks and other face coverings can reduce the flow of airborne particles that are produced during breathing, talking, coughing or sneezing, protecting others from viruses

High-efficiency masks such as N95 respirators are designed to have a tight seal to the face, while surgical and most cloth face masks leave small gaps around the sides, which can be reduced when they are worn correctly.

Local COVID cases remain low Half are now Delta variant

By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer Yolo County is averaging three or four new COVID-19 cases a day, the lowest numbers seen since March of last year when the pandemic began, but half of the positive cases sequenced by the UC Davis Genome Center in recent weeks are of the Delta variant.

That variant, first identified in India, is 90-percent more transmissible and results in about twice as many hospitalizations compared to previously

circulating strains, according to Dr. Dean Blumberg, chief of pediatric infectious diseases at UC Davis Health.

“So that’s a real concern,” he said during a UC Davis Live forum on Thursday that also featured Yolo County Health Officer Dr. Aimee Sisson.

Sisson said the Genome Center, which is sequencing all positive samples collected on campus or through Healthy Davis Together, has detected 14 cases of the Delta variant.

“We’ve seen in the last couple weeks that about half of the cases that are being detected through the Genome Center are the (Delta) variant and

the other half are the Alpha variant (previously known as the UK SISSON variant),” County health said Sisofficer son.

“The good news about the Delta variant,” she said, is that based on studies out of the England and Scotland, “the vaccines continue to work very well against the Delta variant.

“But it is more infectious and it can cause more severe disease, so we

Davis City Council members finally got their chance on Tuesday to weigh in on a draft Housing Element that lays out how and where the city can meet its housing requirements through the end of the decade.

Under state law, cities and counties are allocated a certain number of housing units they are expected to provide and for the 2021-29 Housing Element cycle, Davis is expected to provide 2,075.

Of those, 580 must be very-low-income units; 350 low-income units; 340 moderate-income units; and 805 abovemoderate-income units.

A number of housing developments already approved by the city or in the planning process are expected to provide 2,409 housing units; however, those projects do not provide enough low-income units to satisfy the city’s required allocation.

How and where to meet that shortfall is a key component of the Housing Element, which lays out sites in the city that could be rezoned to meet the requirement.

But additional recommendations put forth by the city’s Housing Element Committee — which is comprised of city commission members and council appointees — may not be part of the path forward, as council members on Tuesday expressed reservations on a number of them.

A proposal to remove R-1 single-family zoning from the city ordinance in order to allow duplexes and fourplexes in all neighborhoods drew opposition from dozens of public commenters on Tuesday (as well as during previous public hearings) and reluctance from some council members.

“A one-size-fits-all blanket approach that says we’re just going to eliminate R-1 zoning citywide and there goes the neighborhood, I would be uncomfortable supporting,” said Councilman

FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 2021

Praying for a little bit of perspective “F lorida governor signs new bill requiring K-12 public schools to hold moment of silence each day,” said the headline over a CNN story earlier this week.

“All K-12 public schools in Florida will hold a moment of silence at the start of the day starting next school year, according to a bill signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis,” the story begins.

“According to the law, principals of each public school shall require teachers in first-period classrooms in all grades to set aside at least one minute, but not more than two minutes, daily for the moment of silence.”

As I understand it, Florida’s kindergarten teachers lobbied for 30 minutes of silence in their classrooms, but that request failed.

The law, of course, requires that “teachers may not make suggestions as to the nature of any reflection that a student may engage in during the moment of silence,” but DeSantis makes no secret that prayer is what is expected here.

Said the governor, “The idea that you can just push God out of every institution and be successful, I’m sorry, our founding fathers did not believe that.”

They also didn’t believe that possessing slaves should prevent anyone from becoming president, but I guess that’s a topic for

another day.

It’s interesting, though, how this same governor can righteously invoke the Almighty when it comes to school prayer just several weeks after signing legislation designed to make it much more difficult for some of God’s children to vote in Florida’s elections.

But maybe there are two gods out there, one to make sure we have prayer in public schools and the other to make sure that folks like Ron DeSantis stay in power.

When we moved to Davis so Dad could finish the college degree that was interrupted by his service in World War II, I started kindergarten at Central Davis School, the only elementary school in town.

We did not have school prayer or a moment of silence back then, and “Under God” had not yet been added to the Pledge of Allegiance, which we dutifully recited every day on the school playground.

My religious understanding came primarily from Mom and

Dad, but also from attending Saturday morning Catechism class at the historic brick St. James Catholic Church that was just a block away from Central Davis School.

My limited understanding then and my firm belief now is that this was exactly the sort of arrangement the founders would approve of, freedom of religious belief and thought, but no compulsory religious instruction in the government-run school.

And, of course, the option to attend a private school where religious instruction would be freely offered and religious expression openly encouraged.

T

he problem with prayer in the public schools, beyond constitutional concerns, is that it would be impossible in a pluralistic society to decide which prayer to have the children recite.

As a Catholic, I believe the Our Father, also known as the Lord’s Prayer, provides the perfect words that Jesus gave to mankind. But I’m quite certain it would not be the prayer our local school board would decide was the appropriate one for our public schools.

As I grew older and moved from grade to grade and school to school, I found myself praying in class on a number of occasions without being encouraged or discouraged to do so by my teachers.

In first grade at Central Davis, I

prayed that Mom remembered to put extra mayonnaise on my tunafish sandwich.

In Miss Marguerite Montgomery’s fifth-grade class at West Davis Elementary, I prayed for the right answers as she passed out her always-difficult math quiz.

In ninth grade at Davis Junior High School I prayed that I’d land the part of Scrooge in the school play.

And as a junior varsity baseball player at Davis High School, I prayed that I wouldn’t strike out against a particularly hard-throwing right-hander from Clarksburg.

They were real prayers, some answered, some not. But looking back, I wouldn’t change any of those outcomes now, as important as they seemed to me at the time.

God works in mysterious ways I thought to myself as I heard the umpire call “Strike 3” and returned to the dugout to receive a sympathetic pat on the back from my loyal and encouraging teammates.

Yes, you can pray whenever or wherever you like in this country.

Silent, respectful, earnest prayer in the public schools? Happens all the time.

We don’t need the governor of Florida to force it on us.

These big-bird dads are the rhea deal Explorit Science Center

By Sara Thompson Special to the Enterprise

R

heas are large, flightless birds from South America. The largest bird in the continent, they stand between 3 and 5 feet tall, with males being larger than females.

They are related to ostriches and emus, and look very similar, but do not have tail feathers.

Their plumage is primarily on their head, neck and bodies; generally brown or gray, with white on the underside. They have longer wings than most flightless birds, which they use for balance and changing direction when running.

They also flap their wings to ward off predators.

During breeding season, a male will try to attract several females and can mate with anywhere from two to 12 partners. A male rhea builds a single nest by scraping the ground to make a depression and lining it with leaves and grasses. All the females a male has mated with will

lay their eggs in the single nest and leave the incubating to the male. A female rhea can lay up to five eggs each in the nest.

Depending on the number of females, a male rhea’s nest can contain up to 60 eggs! After all the eggs have been laid in the nest, the male will incubate the eggs for about six weeks until the eggs hatch.

The rhea hatchlings will all hatch within 36 hours of each other no matter what order they were laid.

After hatching, the male will care for and protect the hatchlings until they reach their adult size at around 6 months old.

Young rheas will primarily eat insects. As they grow their diets will become more diverse and include things such as leafy plants, fruit, seeds, larger insects and even small lizards.

In nature it is much more common for males to not be involved in the

How to hit the road with a friend

By Evelyn Dale Special to The Enterprise

R Clay

Pets of the Week Special to The Enterprise Lots of animals are waiting for “forever homes” at the Yolo County Animal Shelter, 2640 E. Gibson Road in Woodland.

Among them is Clay (A187592), a 2-monthold smokey-colored kitten, who is very playful and friendly. When Clay finally takes a nap, he loves to snuggle.

Tanner Also hoping for a good home is Tanner, (A188157), a black, 3-year-old Chihuahua, who is happy to sleep next to you when you work at home or join you on your daily walks.

He has a kind personality and a is sweet lapdog, too.

Last, but not least, DJ (A187902) is a spirited little gray cat who would love someone to play with him. This little guy was found in very rough shape and has made a fantastic recovery.

DJ For information on adopting, contact adoptycas@gmail.com.

All shelter animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed or neutered.

The shelter is closed to the public for nonemergencies but the staff is available to assist at 530-668-5287 during new temporary hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Mondays to Fridays and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays.

Regardless of which option you choose, be sure the caretaker has your pet’s medical information and knows what to do in an emergency. Payment for services should be agreed to in advance.

Help pets adjust to your being gone. Consider taking a mini vacation of a day or two, to see how things go before going on any extended vacation.

Traveling with pets in town or on the open road: Be mindful of pets in your vehicle. Like people, pets need to be safe and secure.

Two options are a fitted travel harness or a carrier.

They also prevent pets from putting their heads out the window and being hit by flying debris or thrown from the vehicle if there’s an accident.

Remember, keep pets leashed when you stop for potty breaks.

High temps during the “dog days of summer” are dangerous. Pets need

access to clean water to stay hydrated. Hot pavement burns paw pads.

Heatstroke kills. If a pet is panting or salivating excessively or stumbling, cool it down with wet towels and take it to a veterinarian immediately.

Vehicles heat up fast in warm weather, so never leave pets in a parked vehicle. If the temperature outside is a pleasant 75 degrees Fahrenheit, your car’s interior can reach 104 degrees in 20 minutes! According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, cracking windows open does not make a real difference.

Happy Tails When Jeanine and Bill Kopp adopted “Toby” cat at the beginning of the pandemic, they worked with their big rescue dog “Levon,” aka “Lee,” to ensure a smooth transition.

Toby, however, had other ideas. Jeanine writes, “Toby’s need for connection made him pursue Lee.

Service academy nominees announced Enterprise staff Rep. John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, held a virtual ceremony honoring 10 students from the 3rd Congressional District whom he nominated and have been accepted into the nation’s military service academies.

The young men and women competing for nominations this year include an outstanding group of individuals. While all applicants demonstrated the dedication, courage, and aptitude necessary to excel at an academy, only a select few of the most qualified individuals can receive a nomination each year.

Nominations are based on the applicant’s academic strength, extracurricular activities, and in-person interviews with Congressman Garamendi’s Academies Nomination Committee. Members of the Committee include service academy alumnus and current members of the military.

“Each year I have the privilege of nominating a select group of young men and women to our nation’s service academies,” said Garamendi. “America’s military service academies have a longstanding tradition of excellence in education, service, and integrity, and I am proud to have such remarkable nominees represent the 3rd Congressional District.

After meeting many of these impressive young men and

Name Droppers women, I’m confident that America’s military will be in good hands when today’s cadets become tomorrow’s top military leaders. I salute our 2021 nominees and thank them for their commitment to our country,” Garamendi concluded.

Below are the names of the men and women nominated by Congressman Garamendi:

A nightly ritual began of coquettish rubbing of Lee which led to thoroughly licking Lee’s face. Initially, Lee was seriously nonplussed, but the pleasure of rough cat tongue licking the ears won Lee over …

It’s a beautiful, humorous relationship we’re privileged to witness.

“There’s a poignancy that mirrors the vicissitudes of COVID. A few months ago, our vet discovered Toby has significant cardiomyopathy.

With meds, he’s given a life expectancy of 3 or 4 more years. If COVID has taught us nothing, it’s taught us the importance of living in the present and cherishing loved ones.

“Toby’s condition is an unobtrusive part of his life that will not steal one moment of the joy and wonderment that each day brings to these unlikely friends and we try to take our cue from Toby and Lee.” When Jeanine and Bill Kopp go on vacation this June they’ll have an inhome pet sitter for senior kitty Rose, while Toby cat stays with their veterinarian so his medical condition can be monitored. Big dog Lee will do a “staycation” at the doggie daycare facility where he goes regularly.

Vaccinations: a political football

We should be I seeing red over electricity bills

By Sam Liccardo Special to CalMatters

I

just voted to hike electricity rates in San Jose.

Many other mayors and public officials sitting on boards of municipal and community-choice utilities — serving tens of millions of Californians — have done the same in recent weeks.

You should be mad as hell about it — especially because local utilities’ wholesale costs to provide electricity have not increased a dime. They’ve actually dropped.

So why increase rates? The California Public Utilities Commission doesn’t give us much choice.

Over the last decade, state regulators have consistently rubber-stamped requests by large investorowned utilities for higher fee revenues for the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA), a fee on ratepayers to cover the cost of those companies’ older, less efficient energy plants and supply contracts. Although PCIA fees are paid by ratepayers living in one of the 200 cities and towns now served by a publicly owned “community choice” utility to procure greener, cheaper electricity, the fee revenues still flow to the coffers of Pacific Gas & Electric, San Diego Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison.

In PG&E’s service area, the annual PCIA fee has skyrocketed 900% since 2013. Across California, it amounts to a $3.8 billion annual transfer of wealth from ratepayers’ pockets to those of PG&E, SDG&E and Edison.

Indeed, San Jose ratepayers pay more, even though San Jose Clean Energy procures electricity that is 30% cheaper than investor-owned PG&E’s — and 90% of SJCEs power comes from zerogreenhouse-gas power sources. Like other local community-choice utilities, SJCE doesn’t have to pay PG&E’s hefty executive salaries, shareholder dividends or excessive debt service. If the PCIA fee were calculated equitably, these advantages would enable SJCE ratepayers to consistently enjoy lower rates. But this year, many won’t — because of the hefty PCIA fee.

PCIA fees came into being to ensure that former customers of big investor-owned utilities — those residents and businesses who switched to lower-cost, greener community-choice providers — bore their fair share of the utilities’ above-market costs of state-mandated investments in legacy power plants and older electricity supply contracts. To be sure, SJCE and other communitychoice utilities pay less for greener electricity because they entered energy markets more recently.

t began with a press conference at the White House in early February 2020. The President took the podium and announced the coronavirus was about to disappear. Not just from public consciousness, he meant, but from his radar.

This might have been Donald Trump’s seminal error. For COVID-19 went on to kill more than 600,000 Americans and also bury many thousands of businesses, large and small.

His handling of the virus became the main issue of last year’s presidential election until Trump made the repeated big lie about rampant voting fraud an even bigger issue. In the end, both matters moved millions of former Trump voters into current President Joe Biden’s column because both revealed Trump as a persistent, determined liar, a reality that remains his albatross today while he tries to resurrect his political career.

But Trump has not been alone on this journey. He took many millions of Americans with him, convincing them to adopt his stated belief system.

Now we fast forward to the spring of 2021, almost 18 months after Trump’s ultra wrong reading of Covid’s future.

He is long gone from the White House and may never return, no matter what he may claim, depending on the outcome of a variety of

criminal investigations into his activities before and during his presidency. But Trump’s questioning the seriousness of the virus remains in play, carried on by many of his supporters.

These folks are still skeptical it ever really represented a threat, despite all the deaths state, local and federal medical authorities attribute to it.

Millions among Trump’s following believe COVID 19 is little more than an influenza variant that only killed people with prior conditions exacerbated by the new virus. Many also doubt both the necessity and the efficacy of the three main vaccines still being injected into the arms of myriad Americans over 12.

Wrote one reader of this column, “The ‘vaccine’ for Covid…harms human RNA and does nothing to cure or prevent the COVID-19 virus…Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci both are profiting from the ‘vaccine’ and had a hand in developing the virus itself.” That message comes straight from the list of claims made

regularly by active Trump supporters.

Their beliefs were among the reasons why, early in the vaccine rollout, polls showed about half of Republicans planning to forego getting vaccinated. That figure is down somewhat now, but remains far higher than the 5 percent of Democrats who tell pollsters they plan never to be jabbed.

Those survey results are playing out in real life around California. In counties where Republicans dominate state and local elections, about half the percentage of senior citizens got the shots as in counties dominated by Democrats.

I

n counties like Tehama, Shasta and Del Norte, only about one-third of folks over 65 had been fully vaccinated by late spring, compared with about twothirds in suburban counties like Contra Costa and Marin, where Democrats run the local governments.

In one largely proRepublican area, the health officer for Del Norte County, hard by the Oregon border, told a reporter that “We definitely (have) in common…a fairly high percentage of people who are vaccine hesitant.” Del Norte County last fall gave Trump a 62 percent majority.

Even since the county expanded vaccine eligibility to everyone over 12, said health officer Dr. Warren

Rehwaldt, available vaccination time slots often go unused.

Meanwhile, long lines of cars waited in the huge parking lots of places like Dodger Stadium, the Forum and Cal State Northridge in urban, Democratic Los Angeles County, which cut its Covid incidence down by more than 28 percent after the first two weeks vaccinations were open to everyone over 50.

Which means that contrary to the reader who said vaccines don’t work, they clearly do. Just ask operators of nursing homes, where caseloads and deaths from the virus are down by more than 96 percent from last winter’s peak levels.

The links between politics and vaccine hesitation are very clear, furthered by the half-hearted endorsement the fully vaccinated Trump gave the shots.

It remains to be seen whether health officials can cut through such resistance or whether needed herd immunity can be achieved even if they can’t.

F

air enough, but if the PCIA fee merely serves to fairly apportion costs, it should directly reflect those companies’ actual energy costs.

In actuality, while the PCIA tariff has ballooned in the past seven years, the wholesale price for electricity hasn’t increased at all. One also might reasonably expect that fees to ratepayers would increase commensurate with the benefits they receive for those legacy energy contracts. Not so.

The California Public Utilities Commission requires ratepayers to pay without requiring private utilities to provide them with any benefit for the power ratepayers paid for through the imposition of the fee.

Why? These rate hikes have nothing to do with economics. They have everything to do with the political power of the big utilities and their allies, and with the consistent capitulation of state regulators to that power. With great power comes an even greater electricity bill.

Modest recent reforms should improve the transparency of the PCIA fee-setting process, but Californians deserve more. For example, Sen. Anthony Portantino’s ratepayer equity bill — Senate Bill 612 — would enable ratepayers to benefit from the energy supply they’re already paying for through the PCIA fee.

Even greater reductions in PCIA fees are possible with the injection of market discipline into big utilities’ cost management of their electricity supply portfolio, rather than merely allowing them to hike fees without restriction. For example, regulators could annually require PG&E to sell any excess electricity supply, and to renegotiate or buy out expensive legacy energy contracts, thereby reducing costs for both the company and ratepayers.

Reforms are long overdue. As many Californians struggle to recover from the financial effects of the pandemic, the passage of SB 612 grows more urgent. Some righteous ratepayer anger directed toward state legislators and regulators could help spur their courage to ease unfair financial burdens for millions of California families.

Letters Stitching love For 10 years, the Yolo County Children’s Alliance has been the steward of blanket distributions throughout Yolo County. Where do we get these blankets?

They are handmade and donated to us

by Project Linus of Yolo County.

Project Linus is a national nonprofit organization that gives “security blanket” a whole new meaning. The organization’s mission is first to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized or otherwise in need, through gifts of new handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer “blanketeers.” These blanketeers are children and adults, and in some cases organizations, that donate their supplies and time to create blankets for children in need.

YCCA has been distributing Project Linus Blankets since the beginning of the Healthy Families home visiting program. These blankets are somewhat of a cornerstone for the program’s education on Floor Time, or Tummy Time, for new mothers. The quilted blankets, in particular, play a vital role in encouraging

Software from hell Why does the city’s recreation department impose a frustrating obstacle course and maze on taxpayers who are simply trying use the recreation services they pay for?

The city uses an antiquated computer program which is almost impossible to understand or use. I have complained about this for almost a year only to be brushed off. Evidently some with more advanced computer skills can master it (as even I have done on occasion). But the users I’ve talked to hate it as much as I do.

Beyond the Rube Goldberg software, city staff has done a poor job of communicating what is available and when.

I have proposed an alternative that is available and free to anyone managing reservations. It’s called “Sign Up Genius.”

The city of Woodland uses it, and I can guarantee it is easy and effective. Other programs are available and used by fitness clubs around town.

What is the problem? Would the city’s entire computer system collapse if this warhorse is put out to pasture? Please end this travesty and provide friendly service to Davisites.

HOUSING: Submit comments by the beginning of July From Page A1 Will Arnold.

Said Mayor Gloria Partida: “There are definitely certain areas that would be better for duplexes or fourplexes, but saying all R-1 zoning should be removed is not the way to go.”

Likewise, Councilman Josh Chapman said, “I am not wanting to put a four-unit house or building right next to a single story, but I think there’s a way to figure that out and look at it project by project or certain neighborhoods … providing guardrails around a policy like that can go a long way.”

That said, any decision on R-1 zoning may be taken out of the city’s hands.

SB 9, a bill currently moving through the Legislature, would allow for duplexes to be automatically allowed on singlefamily-zoned lots, noted Vice Mayor Lucas Frerichs.

“I’m not really a betting person, but my guess is that is going to pass and that will be state law,” he said. “That will be an additional tool in the tool kit, one the city doesn’t have a choice on, but it could also help facilitate additional infill opportunities on single-family lots throughout the city.”

Another committee recommendation to ask voters to exempt Wildhorse Ranch and the Mace Curve properties from a Measure J/R/D vote also drew little support.

That ordinance, first approved as Measure J in 2000 and renewed in 2010 as Measure R and again last fall as Measure D, requires a vote of the people on developments proposed for open space and agricultural land. The

most recent such project, the Davis Innovation and Sustainability Campus, was voted down in 2020.

“I don’t support exempting specific projects from Measure J/R/D,” said Councilman Dan Carson. “You can’t take away the right of the voters to vote on these projects because state law allows for a referendum for virtually any significant project.”

Chapman agreed, saying, Measure D “just passed with 80 percent of the vote so I think for me, on that one, if I step back and look at it, that’s hard to take that vote away from voters.”

However, both Carson and Partida expressed interest in asking voters to amend Measure J/R/D, including to make it easier to build affordable housing.

The ordinance currently contains an exemption for affordable housing that Carson said has never been used “because it’s unusable unless you can show there is not another place in the city of Davis to provide affordable housing,” something he called, “a hopeless challenge.”

Partida said she doesn’t like the idea of exempting properties from Measure D because “it’s obviously really important to the community to continue to have a say in what happens in these types of decisions.”

However, she noted that the original Measure J was put together by community members two decades ago “and since then it has sort of just been passed along and I think we’ve gotten to a point where we should think about amending it and having the current community members have a voice in what they feel is the best way to put this forward.”

Likewise, council members cited the community’s support for the existing 1 percent growth cap in voicing opposition to the Housing Element Committee’s recommendation to eliminate it.

Removing the cap is not really necessary, some council members said, as it hasn’t prevented new housing from being built in the past.

“There’s already some flexibility in our 1 percent growth cap,” noted Arnold, who added that “the council’s also really taken the housing crisis head on with a lot of projects coming forward and that growth cap is not threatened by those actions so I don’t see what the benefit necessarily would be.

“Not to mention that is something our community has supported and is longstanding.”

One place of agreement between the council and Housing Element Committee, as well as many members of the public who oppose the bulk of the committee’s recommendations, is shoring up the city’s Housing Trust Fund.

The fund, with revenue from in-lieu fees paid by developers, is used for rehabilitation, preservation and production of affordable housing.

A draft Housing Trust Fund strategy drawn up by community members including Social Services Commission member Georgina Valencia, outlines how to improve the fund by developing more robust revenue streams — including private donations — and lays out priorities for those dollars, including down-payment assistance to first-time homebuyers.

Valencia said donations have already been pledged by local

residents and more community members are getting involved in the effort.

Several faith communities, including the Unitarian Universalist Church, Congregation Bet Haverim, and University Covenant Church came together earlier this year to study "The Color of Law," a book by Richard Rothstein that examines the government policies such as prohibitions on African-American home ownership in new developments that have perpetuated segregation.

Vera Sandronsky, who is working with Valencia on seeking housing solutions locally, said a number of those who participated are interested in being part of those solutions, including making housing more affordable and increasing diversity in the community.

Many want the draft Housing Trust Fund strategy included as an attachment to the Housing Element.

Council members on Tuesday were largely on board. “(W)e desperately need more affordable housing in my opinion,” said Chapman, “and looking at how we can really tackle the Housing Trust Fund and then address those issues in an efficient way would be hugely beneficial to our community.”

“We definitely need to find ways to make this a viable tool for our city,” said Partida.

“We have to put some real effort and real thought and exploration behind it and I want to thank Georgina for continuing to bang that drum and get us to have this conversation.

“For too long we’ve been expecting developers to make this trust fund a reality for us to use

and sort of thinking that the developers are the goose that laid the golden egg but we won’t lay any eggs,” she said. “There’s no way to get that trust fund to grow in a way that we’ve been expecting so far.”

Tuesday’s council discussion of the Housing Element, the Housing Trust Fund and more was intended to provide further feedback to city staff as the Housing Element continues through the review process. No council votes were taken.

Public comment on the draft will be accepted through July 1.

Written comments may be submitted via email to jlynch@ cityofdavis.org or by mail to Jessica Lynch, senior planner, Department of Community Development and Sustainability, 23 Russell Blvd., Davis, CA 95616 Meanwhile, the California Department of Housing and Community Development is also reviewing the draft Housing Element. Following close of public comment and completion of review by HCD, the city will make changes required to ensure the final housing element can be adopted by the City Council.

Before that, public hearings will again be held by both the Planning Commission and the council to solicit input on the final housing element.

CASES: Health officials put focus on variant From Page A1 do worry about … those who are unvaccinated, including children under 12 who are unable to be vaccinated yet.”

Currently, she said, 45 percent of Yolo County residents remain unvaccinated.

“So I continue to strongly recommend that everyone get vaccinated, because the virus has not gone away.”

Still, the bottom line for now, according to Blumberg and Sisson, is the county is doing well overall and that should remain the case during the summer.

“Things are good,” said Blumberg. “We had a lot of COVID patients last year during the pandemic, we’ve had a lot of admissions in the pediatric area for the Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) that occurs after infection, but right now there’s very few cases that are being admitted for acute COVID. “The summer should be a good time for us,” he said.

Blumberg said vaccines may be authorized for children ages five to 12 in the fall and for children under 5 sometime next year, “but it’s really hard to predict.”

And booster shots will likely be needed for everyone “For these kind of vaccines, immunity is likely to wane over time,” Blumberg said. “I don’t think that we’re going to eliminate

COVID. It’s so widespread in the world. I’m hoping that it’s just going to be a seasonal virus like influenza and then we’ll just learn to live with it and probably get periodic boosters.

“I don’t know when those boosters are going to be needed, if it’s going to be yearly, or every two years, or every five years; if the immunity that we get from the shots protect against all the variants or if they need to be updated to include the variants. So all those things are questions that we’re still awaiting answers for.”

COVID-19, said Sisson, “is sneaky and it’s evolving.

It continues to mutate.”

“Fortunately we’ve seen that the vaccines by and large are effective against the variants that we currently have but we could see variants evolving that the vaccines do not work against, and I think that’s why we have this urgency to get people vaccinated, not just in the United States, but around the world.2 “The longer we let COVID replicate in large numbers, the more opportunities it has to mutate and to create a variant that could be resistant to (vaccines).

“That worry will be out there until we have worldwide herd immunity against COVID, which may not happen,” said Sisson.

Asked about recently

reported cases of heart inflammation among young people following vaccination, Blumberg said cases at UC Davis have been mild.

“I’ve seen several cases,” he said. “These typically occur more in boys than girls, in teens, and it’s two to four days following the second dose of the (Pfizer) vaccine.

“The kids are usually hospitalized for three or four days, they’re given treatment for their chest pain, we follow their cardiac enzymes. They go up, indicating inflammation of the heart, and they come down and they go home.

“Sometimes the heart function is not affected at all,” he said. “In some cases there’s mild decrease in function but not enough to really require excessive support, like ICU-level support.”

And, in fact, he said, the heart inflammation seen with acute COVID disease is far worse, typically requiring ICU care or other measures.

“This is a rare side effect,” Blumberg said. “We’re continuing to recommend vaccination because it is rare and it is mild and it’s clear the benefits of vaccination outweigh the side effects.”

Overall, both Sisson and Blumberg said they are cautiously optimistic about the future.

“I’m not complacent,” said Sisson. “We still have work to do in Yolo County,

particularly when it comes to vaccinations.

“We still have 45 percent of residents who have not received a dose of vaccine and that means 45 percent of residents in Yolo County are still vulnerable to infection, hospitalization and death from COVID.” “And the variants that are circulating in Yolo County are more infectious,” she noted. “They can cause more severe disease, so people who remain unvaccinated are certainly not out of the woods.”

With the reopening of the state, there may be a small increase in cases, Sisson added, “but we don’t anticipate a large surge.”

She also said individuals who are immunocompromised should continue to take precautions even after vaccination, recommending that they “behave like they are not vaccinated in the sense of continuing to wear masks, taking precautions, trying to distance.

Because while you may be fully vaccinated, you many not have developed a strong immune response … and we have seen instances where people, even if they’re fully vaccinated, because they are immunocompromised, ended up with severe COVID infections.”

Thursday’s forum with Sisson and Blumberg can be viewed on the UC Davis Live Facebook page.

MASKS: Not perfect, but still a great tool to fight virus From Page A1 these gaps by sitting volunteers in front of an instrument that counts airborne particles down to a size of half a micron.

The 12 volunteers read aloud or coughed, with and without a surgical mask of the type widely used by the public, either with their mouth directly in front of the funnel of the particle counter, turned to the side or with their head lowered or raised to count particles passing directly through the mask or leaking around the sides.

The researchers found that wearing a mask while talking reduced particles directly through the mask by an average of 93%, from the bottom by 91%, the sides by 85% and the top by 47%, although with substantial variability between individuals. They

“Mask-wearing provides a significant reduction in the probability of disease transmission.”

Cristopher Cappa UC Davis got similar results for coughing.

The team used simulations to model the overall reduction in particles due to wearing a mask, allowing for leakage around the edges. They calculated that the overall efficiency of masks was about 70% for talking and 90% for coughing.

“While air escape does limit the overall efficiency of surgical masks at reducing expiratory particle emissions, such masks nonetheless provide substantial reduction,” Cappa said. “Our results confirm that mask-wearing provides a significant reduction in the probability of disease transmission via expiratory particles, especially when both infected and susceptible individuals wear masks.”

Masks also redirect the flow of air from a high-velocity plume from the talker or cougher toward anybody in front of them, Cappa said.

Additional authors on the study are Sima Asadi, Santiago Barreda, Anthony Wexler and William Ristenpart at UCD; and Nicole Bouvier, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York. (Asadi is now at MIT).

Rising first graders work on a spelling activity during summer school at Laurel Elementary on June 11. Classes focus on academics in the morning and hands-on activities in the afternoon.

SUMMER SCHOOL: Is it worth all the effort?

From Page A1 school pay at higher rates to encourage teachers to work through the summer. Districts also needed to hire enough staff to ensure class sizes remain small to prevent the spread of COVID-19 on campuses.

“Summer is a big lift even in a normal year.

This year it’s even harder,” said Julie McCalmont, the coordinator for expanded learning programs at Oakland Unified. “We’ve had to hire more teachers and staff. It’s taken us several million dollars more in order to serve these kids.”

Oakland Unified increased its summer school budget by $2 million to $4.7 million this year and enrollment has increased to 6,690 from 4,854 last year. Even so, it has 510 students on a waitlist.

No matter how robust the offerings, parents and teachers accept the grim

reality that a month or two of summer school won’t undo the damage of 15 months of school closure.

“Summer school is not gonna be a quick fix for the losses students suffered during the pandemic,” said Jenny Hontz, communications director for the parent advocacy group Speak Up, based in Los Angeles.

The pandemic’s upending of public education has presented an opportunity to rethink summer school and the traditional academic calendar.

Austin Beutner, outgoing superintendent of Los Angeles Unified, said he unsuccessfully advocated for the state to fund an extended school year to take the pressure off remedial summer school programs.

“I think more time next year would probably be more powerful than summer school this year,” said Beutner. “People do need a break.”

Exterior lighting can add ambiance to a property

Sun-blocking ideas like awnings, shade trees and large umbrellas can help people enjoy their yards all day long.

Special to The Enterprise

Metro/Courtesy photo

Add shade to a deck or patio Special to The Enterprise Homeowners eagerly await the arrival of the warm weather so they can cast off the remnants of cabin fever and bask in the sunshine. However, as summer nears its dog days, the same sun homeowners once coveted can contribute to uncomfortable conditions in outdoor entertaining spaces.

Meteorologists at WHAS11 in Kentucky took to their neighborhoods in July 2020 to test just how hot surfaces can get in the sun during peak daytime temperatures. Concrete sitting in the sun almost all day reached a temperature of 134.7 degrees, while the same concrete in the shade clocked in at just under 80 degrees. When air temperatures are around 90 degrees, unshaded concrete and asphalt can be 125 degrees and 140 degrees, respectively. While wood decking may not be as hot as asphalt and concrete, it still can get steamy underfoot.

Homeowners who want to be able to enjoy their outdoor spaces in an array of temperatures can think about investing in shade solutions. Sunblocking ideas like awnings, shade trees and large umbrellas

can help people enjoy their yards all day long.

fall and only be effective during the warm weather.

Canopy

Patio umbrellas

A patio canopy is typically a freestanding unit that can be installed over a patio or a deck.

Some people prefer to bolt it down so it will not be knocked over in windy conditions. The fabric on the canopy can be removed during the offseason, helping to improve its longevity.

Many umbrellas start at around $25. Umbrellas can be paired with patio tables, while stationary cantilever umbrellas sit out of the way on their own heavy-duty stands. A cantilever umbrella tends to provide more shade than patio table umbrellas.

Shade sail

Awning

Similar to an awning but a bit less structurally rigid, shade sails are large pieces of triangular fabric installed over areas of a patio, pool or landscape, according to The Family Handyman. Shade sails are light and airy and can be customized.

Awnings may be stationary or retractable. Many are installed directly onto a home and can cast shade on specific areas of outdoor entertaining spaces.

Trees A natural way to increase shade in a yard is to plant more shade trees. If sun glare is an issue all year long, and it’s not just the heat of the sun that is troublesome, think about planting evergreen trees. Deciduous cousins will drop their leaves in

The value of the right lighting in a home is undeniable. Lighting can instantly transform a room and create the ambiance homeowners are looking to establish. Though it might be mostly seen as a way to create mood inside a home, lighting also can do much for lawns and gardens.

Backyards have come a long way over the last several decades.

Once reserved as play areas for children and stomping grounds for the family dog, backyards have become oases for homeowners and their families. Outdoor living areas are wildly popular, and no such area is complete without exterior

lighting. In fact, a recent report from the National Association of Home Builders found that 85 percent of home buyers want exterior lighting, making it the second most desired outdoor feature (patios topped that list).

Exterior lighting can have a dramatic effect on landscaping, and estimates from the online financial resource Kiplinger.com suggest such lighting is inexpensive, with installation averaging roughly $67 per fixture.

When installing exterior lighting around their landscapes, homeowners can keep various tips in mind to create a relaxing, awe-inspiring mood on their properties at night.

See LIGHTS, Page B2

Curtains Homeowners can block sunlight outdoors the way they do inside, offers MSN. Hang curtains from the sides of canopies or between posts on a deck to provide shade and cozy spaces.

Shade is in high demand when the sun is hot. Options abound for making outdoor areas more comfortable.

How to keep gardens safe in summer heat waves

LIGHTS: Exterior lighting can add appeal without breaking the bank

Special to The Enterprise

Consider uplights

Summer is a season to relax and enjoy the warm weather. Basking in the summer sun is a great way to relax, but only when the temperatures are safe.

Summer heat waves can compromise the health of human beings as well as their pets. Gardening enthusiasts also may need to go the extra mile to keep their plants and gardens from wilting under harsh summer sun.

Extreme heat stress can be very harmful to plants.

The online gardening resource Gardening Know How notes that some plants can withstand summer heat waves better than others. For example, succulents conserve water in their leaves, helping them to withstand heat waves when the dog days of summer arrive. But succulents are unique, and many plants will require a little extra help to withstand a heat wave.

Take a proactive approach with mulch Gardeners need not wait until the heat arrives to protect their plants from searing summer heat. The sustainable living experts at Eartheasy recommend utilizing light-colored mulch during heat waves.

Such mulch will reflect the sunlight and help to maintain cooler surface soil conditions. Eartheasy even notes that grass clippings, once they’ve turned from green to light brown, can make for the perfect mulch to protect plants from the heat. Clippings also are free, making them a costeffective solution.

From Page B1

Uplights are installed in the ground and direct light up at a tree, focusing on its trunk or canopy. This creates a dramatic effect that makes it possible to enjoy majestic trees at night just like you might when spending time in the yard during the day.

Let your plants pitch in When planting new plants, it’s important that gardeners recognize it takes time for these plants to establish their roots so they’re strong enough to withstand heat waves. In the meantime, strategic planting can help them

Water wisely The horticultural experts at Yates Gardening note that water only helps plants withstand heat waves if it’s applied effectively. If water is only applied in short bursts and not long enough so it can penetrate all the way to the root zone, roots will then stay near the surface. In such instances, roots will dry out during a heat wave and plants won’t make it through the season. Timing also is essential when watering. Eartheasy recommends watering in the morning to avoid heat scald and also ensure as little water is lost to evaporation as possible. When watering during a heat wave, do so by hand rather than through a sprinkler.

Hand watering allows gardeners to direct all of the

Modern exterior lighting timers make it easier than ever to control the lights outside a home.

Many such timers even adjust for the changing seasons and the shifting hours of daylight. That means homeowners shouldn’t have to tinker with the timer once it’s set.

Eartheasy notes that planting by taller, more established plants can provide new plants with shade that can help them survive heat waves. Just make sure new plants can still get the sun they need to thrive.

Heat waves are inevitable and potentially harmful to gardens. Gardeners can help their plants beat the heat in various ways.

Many homeowners already have exterior lighting lining their walkways and patios, but focusing on trees can create an different look. It’s possible to install exterior tree lighting on your own, but landscaping professionals with lighting experience know which fixtures will pair effectively with the trees around your property and how to arrange them for maximum effect.

but also note that, in situations with lower levels of ambient light, such as in exterior lights around a property, people typically prefer warmer light. That’s because warm light tends to be easier on the eyes and directs attention to the features of the landscape, which is many homeowners’ goal when installing exterior lighting in their yards.

Concerts in the park returning to Winters Special to The Enterprise One of the real pleasures of the summer season is to listen to live music outdoors on a balmy summer evening — and everyone is invited to the fun starting July 1.

Winters Friends of the Library announce the lineup for the 2021 Summer Concerts at the Gazebo.

The free outdoor shows will be from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursdays at Rotary Park at Main Street at Railroad Avenue in downtown Winters. n The series will kick off on July 1 with Zapato Viejo playing traditional and contemporary songs and rhythms from Latin America. The Davis-based band features seasoned performers with roots in rock, jazz and r&b, as well as Latin music. Their smoking hot percussion section, passionate guitars and smooth vocals make the most of the complex Latin rhythms. Get a preview of their music at reverbnation.com/zapatoviejo. n July 8 will feature Meredith Axelrod and Craig Ventresco playing old-time music, vintage jazz, ragtime and blues. Axelrod is a multi-instrumentalist with a rich, distinctive voice and quirky sense of humor. Ventresco is “one of the country’s foremost ragtime guitarists” (S.F. Chronicle) with a command of early American jazz and blues. During the pandemic,

Their videos are available at facebook.com/meredith axelrod. n On July 15, Geoffrey Miller takes the stage with country,

western swing, honky-tonk and rockabilly. His latest album, featuring “rockin’ cheating songs, tear-welling love-lamenting ballads, rockabilly country bops, and reflections on lonesome isolation,” was recorded with masked

musicians during the COVID pandemic. Learn more at geoffrey millermusic.com. n The music continues on July 22 with Los Tres de Winters, playing Norteño-style music, with accordion, bajo sexto and

bass. This lively music is a hybrid of Mexican and Spanish vocal traditions with waltzes and polkas brought to Mexico by Czech and German immigrants in the mid-nineteenth century. It evolved in the north of Mexico and is now a favorite style throughout Mexico and the U.S. Check them out on YouTube. n The series concludes on July 29 with The Easy Winners, playing early 20-century music, including classic rags, waltzes, cakewalks, tangos, marches and songs of North America, Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America.

Shrek (Django Nachmanoff) teams up with Donkey (Matthew Vallero) in the DMTC Young Performers Theater’s last virtual youth production, “Shrek, the Musical, Jr.” The show runs from June 25 to 27. Tickets are $10 per device and $20 per family, available at dmtc.org.

DMTC’s youths to present ‘Shrek the Musical, Jr.’ Special to The Enterprise Davis Musical Theatre Company’s Young Performers’ Theater presents the family-fun fairytale adventure, “Shrek the Musical, Jr.,” June 25 through June 27 on the Showtix4U virtual platform.

Once upon a time, in a far-away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek.

One day Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions.

When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking Donkey to confront Farquaad, he’s

handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted.

Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad but a fairytale wouldn’t be complete without a few twists and turns along the way.

It’s a “big bright beautiful world” as everyone’s favorite ogre Shrek leads a cast of fairytale misfits on an adventure to rescue a princess and find true acceptance.

Part romance and part twisted fairy tale, the show is an irreverently fun adventure with a powerful message for the whole family.

Morgan Bartoe is the director and choreographer, with Cheryl Barker handling musical direction.

Young performers featured include Django Nachmanoff as Shrek, Chloe Aldrete as Princess Fiona, Matthew Vallero as Donkey and Henry Krug-Lee as Lord Farquaad.

Fact-based under-dog drama a touchdown Stirring film is a fascinating slice of sports history

‘12 Mighty Orphans’ Starring: Luke Wilson, Martin Sheen, Vinessa Shaw, Wayne Knight, Jake Austin Walker, Jacob Lofland, King Orba, Treat Williams, Larry Pine and Robert Duvall Rating: PG-13, for violence, profanity and suggestive references Available via: Movie theaters

By Derrick Bang Enterprise film critic This seems to be the season for inspirational, fact-based underdog stories, and we’ve got another good one.

Indeed, I’m surprised it took so long for this astonishing saga to hit the big screen.

Director Ty Roberts’ heartfelt adaptation of author and sportswriter Jim Dent’s mesmerizing 2008 nonfiction book may be the ultimate underdog saga, given its Depression-era setting.

Events begin when Rusty Russell (Luke Wilson), his wife Juanita (Vinessa Shaw) and their little daughter Betty (Josie Fink) drive onto the grounds of the Fort Worth Masonic Widows and Orphans Home.

Rusty has just become the institution’s head football coach: a significant step down from his previous successful position at Temple High School, and a decision made even stranger by the fact that Fort Worth Masonic doesn’t have a football team.

Heck, it doesn’t even have a football field: merely an open stretch of gravel, rocks and grass occupied by scrawny goats.

(The actual Russell had a good reason for this apparently rash and impulsive decision: a crucial detail poorly hinted at in the otherwise solid script by Roberts, Lane Garrison and Kevin Meyer.

Brief and vague flashbacks to Russell’s WWI trench experience aren’t sufficient.)

The challenge seems insurmountable, given that most of the older boys — the few with any potential, only 12 of whom qualify — are as scrawny as the aforementioned goats.

They’re also an unkempt, illmannered and undereducated bunch, with a tendency to quarrel and fight each other.

That’s particularly true of the newest arrival, Hardy Brown (Jake Austin Walker), delivered — his clothes ominously covered

As a meager few spectators watch, coach Rusty Russell (Luke Wilson, left) and Doc Hall (Martin Sheen, right) and a dispirited Snoggs (Jacob Lofland) contemplate the disaster unfolding on the football field. in fresh blood — by the local sheriff.

Most of the other boys go by nicknames: Snoggs (Jacob Lofland), Wheatie (Slade Monroe), Fairbanks (Levi Dylan) and so forth.

Their belligerence and uncooperative natures aside, the enormity of Rusty’s endeavor becomes clear when the field is cleared for the first practice.

He expected the absence of anything resembling uniforms, but the boys don’t even have shoes. Nor is there a football, so Juanita and Betty improvise a substitute.

Despite all this, Rusty remains hopeful; he senses an inner spirit, a yearning for pride, waiting to be nurtured. He understands that those who have nothing and are given an opportunity to amount to something will fight like hell to embrace and retain it.

Wilson is ideal for this role; he exudes an unruffled, aw-shucks optimism matched by a warm,

embracing smile. Rusty never raises his voice, and his deceptively mild appearance is deliberately misleading; he wins discussions and arguments via disarming persuasion, invariably leaving the other guy wondering how and why he yielded.

Martin Sheen is equally wellcast as E.P. “Doc” Hall, a country physician who serves as something of a caretaker for the orphanage. He’s a crusty blend of tart Texas flintiness and twinkling good humor: a familiar cinematic archetype that Sheen nonetheless makes fresh. The affection everybody holds for him notwithstanding, Doc also has a tragic side exacerbated by too much alcohol.

That makes him a perfect match for Rusty, battling his own PTSD demons.

The two men do their best to shape the team, and the first actual game is an anticipated disaster. But even this proves instructive because Rusty is

inspired — due to the fact that his players always are dwarfed and outweighed by the competition — to create the “spread formation” that subsequently became a game staple.

(As Dent wrote in his book, this “allowed (Rusty’s) players to run through the competition like a bunch of field mice.”)

Then, to everybody’s amazement, the tide begins to turn.

Suddenly the “Mighty Mites” — as they’re soon dubbed — become media darlings at a time when the entire country needs something to root for, gaining the attention of even President Roosevelt (Larry Pine).

Treat Williams pops up as Fort Worth Star-Telegram founder and publisher Amon G. Carter.

Robert Duvall has an even briefer cameo as the fictitious Mason Hawk, a “wise old guy” — and former orphan — who offers guidance at one point.

Walker is appropriately confrontational as the uncooperative

Hardy: the “tough kid” Rusty will have the most trouble reaching.

Lofland, a busy actor perhaps remembered from a season of television’s “Justified,” is endearing as the meek but earnest Snoggs.

Comedian Wayne Knight, late of “Seinfeld,” is oddly miscast as a bullying orphanage teacher/ administrator who enjoys beating the boys. The role is badly written — as if this token “villain” is somehow necessary — and poorly played.

Production designer Drew Boughton and cinematographer David McFarland give the film an authentically gritty, grimy and dilapidated atmosphere — with a color palette favoring dusty earth tones — that reflects the era’s hopeless, dispirited mood.

Most of the production was filmed in Fort Worth — Roberts knew they didn’t dare go anywhere else — and he grabbed plenty of locals as extras. He and editor James K. Crouch choreograph the football action for a winning blend of suspense, heartbreak, agony and triumph.

Archival photos and text blocks that precede the end credits reveal just how inspirational Rusty, Doc Hall and those 12 ragtag footballers became.

As I said at the top — what took this film so long?

Emmy-award-winning Woodland native brings films home Special to The Enterprise The historic Woodland Opera House is hosting one of Woodland’s own, five-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Scott Wegener, for a Father’s Day afternoon presentation of “The Spider’s Web” film trilogy.

Films will be shown from noon to 6 p.m. Sunday, June 20, at Woodland Opera House, 340 Second St. in Woodland.

The three dramatic actionadventure films introduce teen geniuses Phillip Harrison and Malcolm Scott as they discover the secrets to the universe during a high school science project.

This newfound knowledge thrusts them into a globespanning adventure as they solve

dangerous mysteries only they can comprehend.

After each viewing, Wegener will discuss making his films with a zero budget, using extreme networking, goods and services.

In the trilogy’s first film, “The Spider’s Web” (1995), 18-year-old Malcolm Scott (Adam Winston) becomes obsessed with solving an ancient riddle told by his greatgreat-grandmother (Gospel star Kaye Barksdale). Class loner Phillip Harrison (Nick Arrom) is likewise fixated on proving his father’s discredited theory of gravity obstruction.

In the reboot “The Spider’s Web: Arch Defiance” (2015 TV pilot), after the government confiscates Harrison’s Gravity Obstruction Device, Malcolm

(Andre Tomlinson) and Harrison (Cody Oppel) are hijacked to Africa where mercenaries are hunting for a crashed space probe designed by Harrison’s father.

In “The Riddle of the Spider’s Web” (2020), government agent Tyra Gunn (Samantha Russell) gets more than she bargained for after she is assigned to protect Phillip Harrison from rogue powers that want his gravity obstruction technology. It was filmed in Martinique, Illinois, Kentucky and Ohio.

Raised in Woodland, Wegener started making movies with an 8mm camera at the age of 15.

After dozens of high school movies, Wegener enrolled in both CSU Chico (mass communications) and CSU San Francisco

(cinema), where he created a first-of-its-kind theatrical film production special major that combined courses from both universities to earn his degree in 1975.

Now living in Cincinnati, he has written, produced, and directed five feature films, including “The Golem” (winner of three Emmy Awards), and “Beowulf: Prince of the Geats,” seen in more than 20 countries.

The Spider’s Web films are among his favorites.

“I wanted to create young characters who are smart, athletic and passionate about the world, who meet adversity head-on, whether it’s a science fair or saving the world, and use their wits to succeed against all odds.”

The doors will open at 11:30 a.m., with an introduction at noon and the first film starting at 12:10 p.m.

The second film will start at 2:05 p.m. and the third film at 3:30 p.m., with an intermission and discussion in between.

A social gathering will follow at 6 p.m. at Father Paddy’s Irish Public House, 435 Main St. in Woodland.

Reserved seating tickets are $10, available at www.woodlandoperahouse.org or in the Woodland Opera House box office at 340 Second St. in Woodland or by calling 530-666-9617.

Hours are 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Tuesdays through Fridays.

Davis-based ZZ Top tribute band ZZ Tush is back by popular demand, on Friday, July 2, at Green River Brewing and Taproom, 4513 Putah Creek Road in Winters. Albino Crow will open the show at 6 p.m. and ZZ Tush will take the stage at 8 p.m. The band typically plays for about 90 minutes, covering songs from all of ZZ Top’s albums. Admission is free.

The Woodland Opera House is bringing Fleetwood Mask, a Fleetwood Mac tribute band from the Bay Area, back by popular demand. Shows are at 3 and 7 p.m. Saturday, July 10, at the historic opera house, 340 Second St. in Woodland.

The band was formed out of a mutual love and respect for Fleetwood Mac’s music and story. With more than 25 years of professional music and theatrical experience combined, Fleetwood Mask band members are dedicated to providing audiences at festivals, wineries and clubs with an authentic Fleetwood Mac musical experience.

Mick Fleetwood called Fleetwood Mask a “real treat,” going on record saying this

“terrific group of musicians ... plays the music as intended with passion and with style.”

With a repertoire that spans Fleetwood Mac’s early period to their present sound Fleetwood Mask aims to be the “ultimate tribute.” The audience will revel in the harmonies of songs like “The Chain,” “Landslide” and “Go Your Own Way.” Reserved seating tickets are $30 for adults and $15 for children under age 12.

Social distancing protocols will be adhered to and face masks are required. Purchase tickets online at www.woodlandoperahouse.org, in the Woodland Opera House box office at 340 Second St. in Woodland, or by calling 530-666-9617. Box office hours are 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays.

A soccer club created for and by our community

W

ell, 20202021 ... what a long, strange trip it’s been.

What was on tilt to be one of the most exciting years in the history of Davis soccer was flipped on its head this past spring.

After a National Premier Soccer League title-winning season in 2019, securing our area’s first-ever birth to the U.S. Open Cup on ESPN, and the launch of our Women’s Premier Soccer League team, 2020 was packed with historic accomplishments for our soccer community.

Then in March 2020, COVID-19 ground our daily lives to a halt and soccer along with it.

While countless semipro soccer clubs around the country did not survive the pandemic, FC Davis was lucky enough to have a large contingent of local support that believes in the mission and vision of the organization: a club created for our community by our community. As a result, last week FC Davis hit the field for the first time in 439 days.

The concept of FC Davis began by establishing a men’s team that would serve as a foundation for all things soccer in Davis.

In small corners throughout our country, Saturday

nights are soccer nights. A quick YouTube search generates pages of videos showing towns across America drawing a thousand-plus fans to intimate venues on a weekly basis.

These fans create an atmosphere complete with flags, drums, chants and flares that resemble a South American game rather than one in the U.S. In response, these clubs reinvested back into their local communities, providing fans and players a place they can call home.

After seeing Davis void of a team we could call our own, I asked myself why not us?

And thus, FC Davis was born, along with numerous on-field accomplishments that cemented our place on the national (and world!) soccer map. Our men’s team has been a source of pride for our soccer community, showcasing and providing an outlet for our talent-rich area and passionate fanbase.

In 2020, FC Davis

Pete Scully/Courtesy Sketch

Local artist Pete Scully captured FC Davis in its first season at Aggie Stadium. sought to buck the norm for club ownership in American sports. The FC Davis Women would be supported by the community instead of a single owner. Our mission was to prove a new nonprofit, community support model could work and be replicated across the country.

Towns and communities could then copy the structure and start women’s teams of their own. The end product would be an abundance of new opportunities and resources for female soccer players over the age of 18 who are chronically under-served outside of a three-month college season.

This vision came true when FC Davis Women’s Team Founding Memberships sold out, with more than 100 members of our

community supporting our local female stars and bringing to life our town’s first-ever semi-pro women’s team.

Since its inception, FC Davis has sought to connect our local soccer scene, creating an ecosystem of opportunities for local residents to play and watch soccer. Within that ecosystem exist important partnerships. These partnerships promote organizations that align with our town’s deep community-centric values.

A

t the heart of these partnerships rests Davis AYSO and AYSO United Davis, the heartbeat of our local soccer scene for over 40 years.

This year, FC Davis enhanced our partnership with Davis AYSO to include AYSO United,

which expands access to community-centric, yearround soccer programming for youth players.

This partnership furthers both organizations’ goal to use soccer as a platform for good in our community.

Even more important, the union will see joint community events to get more of our youths and adults out on the pitch playing soccer with their friends, while growing the culture of the game within Davis.

From camps, pick-up nights and tournaments, a range of offerings will be made available for our soccer-loving community.

None of this would have been made possible without all the former leadership of Davis AYSO to the new leadership consisting of Sara Hawkes, Michael

FC Davis strengthens futbol legacy with outstanding rosters

By Will Wyman Enterprise staff writer Davis has long been a soccer hotbed full of talent and community support. From the youth level all the way up to pros, like Jalil Anibaba, the sport is synonymous with the town and its inhabitants.

That connection was galvanized by the establishment of FC Davis in 2018, Davis’ first semi-professional team.

The Golden Lions have since become an area staple, gaining notoriety with a 2019 Golden Gate Conference title after the squad’s second season in the National Premier Soccer League.

Since FC Davis’ inception, the organization behind the team has been evolving and growing. After the immediate success with the men’s side, the next step was clear: tap into the area’s abundant women’s soccer talent. The creation of a women’s squad was set to take off along with the men’s season at the start of the 2020 campaign.

The newly formed Lioness boasted a deep roster full of familiar faces to Davis soccer fans. But before either team could start the season, California was shut down due to the pandemic.

Flash forward over a year ...

The club is finally back on the pitch. The formerly desolate Playfields Park is once again filled with black-andgold banners and the hope that comes with welcoming fans back for the first time since the shutdown.

And there’s great anticipation surrounding both of the Lions’ teams.

The men are eager to defend their conference title after losing their chance last year, while the

women have been waiting that same amount of time to simply kick around a ball for the first time in team history.

After being included in the initial Lioness roster (announced in early 2020), Davis High product Julia Curtis is excited to finally get things rocking with her new squad as well as some familiar faces.

“I’m looking forward to playing with a lot of girls that I haven’t played with in over four years,” began the recently graduated Cal soccer standout. “And playing in Davis again because I miss the Davis soccer community a lot.

“I think it’s gonna be awesome because a lot of the girls (on the team have gone) off and played college soccer,” Curtis added. “So it’s gonna be cool to see how they’ve improved and grown throughout the years.”

Curtis is also pumped to take the field alongside her sister Alana, who played just a single season with her while the two were in high school: “I never thought we’d be able to play together again.”

Alana, the younger of the two, stayed local after her days at DHS, matriculating to UC Davis, where she now plays for head coach Tracy Hamm. The Curtis sisters will be joined by a whole host of former Blue Devils, including Gaby Herrera (San Jose State), Skye Shaffer (UC Santa Barbara), sisters Annie and Ruthie Mitchell (University of Chicago), Lily Byrne (Colorado College) and Tiffany Miras (Sacramento State).

“I think it’s gonna trailblaze a path for future teams and maybe more pro women’s teams in the area that I think we’re missing,” concluded the elder Curtis sister. “I hope that we win some games but I also hope Davis High soccer standout Alana Curtis is that the community comes and sees reunited with her older sister Julia on the FC Davis what the team is about and the women’s side. team can grow within the next couple of years.”

It’s a great way to build community support.”

For the men’s side, the push to defend the GGC title is The connection goes beyond the sport as well, as the already underway. After their extended break from play, club has put forward many initiatives to maximize the men have opened up the regular season with two wins and an early first-place position in the conference.
