Sealed and delivered Centennial Plaza casts light on history By Wendy Weitzel Special to The Enterprise A beautiful city centerpiece. A historical record. An educational tool. The Davis Centennial Seal and surrounding plaza are all those things and more. Installed May 25 in front of the DresbachHunt-Boyer House at 604 Second St., it celebrates the 100th anniversary of the 1917 incorporation of the city Davis. In the works since 2016, it includes a 6.5-foot circular bronze seal designed by Davis artist Susan Shelton, surrounded by landscaping and commemorative bricks. Shelton, best known for ceramic wall murals and a bronze seal (designed with fellow Davis artist Donna Billick) on the West Steps of the state Capitol, called the Davis Centennial Seal
“a crowning piece for me.” The design encompasses scenes of “overlapping and intersecting themes” distinct to Davis’ human and natural history. It explores themes of aspiration, community, cooperation, leadership, innovation, engagement, global citizenship, stewardship, vision and optimism. “I think because of what Davis has meant to me very personally in my life, and the love and devotion that I put into it; I think it makes it a very special piece for me,” Shelton said. “Delving into the history really gave me a greater appreciation and deeper understanding as to why this is such a special place to live.” Though it’s on city property, the public art was a years-long culmination of work by area residents, using mostly private funds. Bill and Nancy Roe donated $60,000 and helped guide the project. They recruited 11 other donor groups who contributed $5,000 each: Jennifer Anderson and Doby

Filmmaker Larry Cappetto’s project originally was scheduled for release in 2020, but like many other events was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “We’re very grateful for Larry, and we’re excited to be able to share this with everybody,” Lupe Corona, Natalie’s mother, said of the documentary that’s been two years in the making. “It’s going to be raw and emotional, but at the same time it will be very loving and a nice tribute to Natalie.”

$190,000 so far, the cost may surpass $200,000. The city donated $25,000 toward the installation, using its municipal arts fund. An adopt-a-brick program made up the remainder of the cost, with nonprofits paying $25 and others paying $150 per inscribed brick.

Briefly Store dispute ends in charges Davis police arrested a local transient last week after he allegedly threatened a local merchant. Officers responded at about 8 p.m. Thursday to the 7-Eleven store on L Street, where the owner of the convenience store had ordered Daniel Scott Rowlett off the property. During that confrontation, Rowlett pulled out the a switchblade and threatened the owner with physical harm, according to Lt. Mike Munoz. Rowlett, 38, was taken into custody on suspicion of criminal threats and brandishing a weapon, as well as allegedly having a methamphetamine pipe. He was booked into the Yolo County Jail on those charges as well as an unrelated felony warrant, Munoz said.

Not much to cheer about in this case P ublic-school administrators all over the country are holding their breath to see how the United States Supreme Court will rule in the case of a high-school freshman who was punished for off-campus speech her school deemed offensive. Last month justices heard oral arguments in the case “Mahanoy Area School District v. B.L.” with a decision expected sometime soon. B.L. has been identified as Brandi Levy, who tried out for her high school’s varsity cheerleading team, but was assigned to the junior varsity instead. Or, as the New York Times’ Adam Liptak so perfectly wrote, “It was a Saturday in the spring of 2017 and a ninth-grade student in Pennsylvania was having a bad day.” Faced with the news, Brandi and a friend, over a weekend and away from school, posted a picture on Snapchat with their middle fingers in the air along with text using the most famous four-letter word in the English language four times, once each before the words “school,” “softball” “cheer” and “everything.” The photo was visible to approximately 250 people, many of them fellow students and some who were cheerleaders. One student took a screenshot and
showed it to her mother, who was also a coach. Brandi was quickly in hot water with her school, which suspended her from cheerleading for an entire year. Not surprisingly, she sued, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third District, siding with Brandi, said that public schools could not punish students for speech that occurred off campus. Something about that crazy First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Not sure what the court would have ruled had Brandi composed her Snapchat rant on campus during school hours. The odd thing about Snapchat or other forms of social media is that no one is compelled to see it or hear it. Those things are entirely voluntary and intentional. In other words, someone could post the most vile message on Snapchat or Facebook and no one
would be offended unless they voluntarily decided to look at it. It’s much different than disrupting a math class by screaming profanities at your teacher and your fellow students who, like it or not, are forced to endure your disruptive behavior. In the most famous school speech case, Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, the court ruled it was OK for students to wear black armbands to school to protest the Vietnam War. The court said, “It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.” Justice Abe Fortas reasoned further that, “The nation’s future depends upon leaders trained through wide exposure to that robust exchange of ideas which discovers truth out of a multitude of tongues.” Justice Fortas, however, never met the tongues on Fox News.
T
inker was decided in 1969, before current justice Amy Coney Barrett was even born. How she and her fellow justices will decide this one is anyone’s guess. In last month’s oral arguments before the Supreme Court in
Mahanoy v. B.L., the school district seemed to be arguing that it needed to be able to punish and thus discourage offensive off-campus behavior so it can combat such serious issues as student bullying. It’s a compelling argument to a point, but Brandi’s Snapchat post didn’t bully anyone and the high court is generally reluctant to rule on issues not immediately at hand. Brandi was mad, and she impulsively expressed her anger as many folks do, equivalent perhaps to breaking your baseball bat over home plate after striking out with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth. Not exactly a classy act, but not one deserving of a full-scale, yearlong suspension from the team. Since liberals and conservatives alike love to cite the First Amendment when it suits their cause, my guess is the court will rule unanimously in Brandi’s favor, but with a furrowed-brow caution that this is not a blanket acceptance of all forms of student speech, given that we live in a far different time than the day Tinker was decided. If I’m wrong, I will not take to Snapchat to express my frustration. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.
Woodland man accused in two chases and a shooting By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer WOODLAND — A Woodland parolee pleaded not guilty to assault, carjacking and weaponrelated charges in Yolo Superior Court on Monday in connection with a string of alleged crimes, including a shooting that seriously injured another man. Brian McDonald, 35, was arrested a week after the June 10 shooting in the rural Yolo County town of Capay during which the victim suffered a bullet wound to the thigh, according to the Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office. The victim survived but required surgery for his injuries. McDonald eluded arrest at that time, but his luck
ran out last Thursday, when authorities stopped a U-Haul truck in which McDonald — who reportedly was helping a woman return the rented vehicle — sat in the passenger seat. “During the vehicle stop, McDonald ordered the driver to exit the truck, which she did,” sheriff ’s officials reported in a Facebook post. At that point, McDonald reportedly took over the wheel and sped away, abandoned the truck in a restaurant parking lot on East and Main Street in Woodland, then fled on foot. Sheriff ’s deputies and Woodland police offices apprehended McDonald about a half-mile away, in the 800 block of Johnston Street, “after a lengthy foot
chase over fences, through yards and even on rooftops,” the post said. Yolo County prosecutor Robin Johnson further detailed the shooting incident during McDonald’s arraignment hearing Monday, saying he should remain on a no-bail hold at the Yolo County Jail due to his risk to the public. According to Johnson, McDonald has prior robbery and carjacking convictions for which he served nine years in state prison, earning parole in January 2021. By May, she said, McDonald was wanted for evading police while driving recklessly as well as unlawfully possessing ammunition. He also escaped capture at that time.
“It’s the people’s position that this defendant is a threat to public safety.” Robin Johnson Yolo County prosecutor Fast-forward to June 10, when McDonald was riding in a car with a group of acquaintances in the Capay Valley area and “for some reason shot a firearm off in the vehicle,” Johnson said. Later, when one member of the group confronted McDonald over that incident, “they argued, the defendant pulled out a gun, threatened the victim, and
eventually ended up shooting the victim in the leg,” Johnson said. “It’s the people’s position that this defendant is a threat to public safety” and would continue to be if released from jail, Johnson said. Judge Tom Dyer, calling McDonald’s alleged conduct “incredibly lethal and concerning public behavior,” agreed he should remain in custody. McDonald’s three criminal cases — which now include carjacking and resisting-arrest charges stemming from the U-Haul chase — are due back in court July 9 for further proceedings. — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenter prise.net.

Traffic stop leads to driver’s arrest on drug charges By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer A routine traffic stop last week led to a Woodland man’s arrest on multiple drug charges, the Woodland Police Department reported. An expired registration tab triggered the Thursday morning stop in the 400 block of County Road 102, where an officer encountered 34-year-old Christopher Cardenas and a car allegedly containing more
than a third of a pound of methamphetamine, “numerous” Ecstasy pills, drug packaging materials and a large amount of cash, police said in a Facebook post. Cardenas was booked into the Yolo County Jail on charges including possession of a methamphetamine pipe, transporting a controlled substance, a probation violation and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of sales, police said.

Since their formal founding 1971, the Friends of the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden have helped the arboretum raise additional funds from seasonal plant sales. These sales began with the sale of iris rhizomes in Central Park and now take place in a 1-acre nursery in the arboretum’s west end. Pictured here are members of the Friends, volunteers, students and staff who have helped propagate and grow the tens of thousands of low-water, regionally appropriate plants sold.
UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden are golden By Katie Hetrick Special to The Enterprise This year, UC Davis celebrates the golden anniversary of the Friends of the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden, the organization that, according to the “Readers’ Choice 2021 The Best of Yolo County,” supports the area’s best “Shelter-at-Home Escape.” A 50-year-anniversary milestone, while significant in any circumstance, is especially momentous as the world begins to emerge from a pandemic that shined a spotlight on the importance of nearby nature and outdoor recreation as one of the only allowed respites from in-home isolation. The Friends anniversary also happens to coincide with the 85th anniversary of the founding of the UC Davis Arboretum itself. “As those who visited the arboretum during this last year saw, our community relies on having access to outdoor resources like this one,” said Ann Trump Daniel, president of Friends of the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden. “We were flooded with visitors who obviously appreciate the resource, but probably don’t know much yet about its history, or that it almost went under at one point.” Founded in 1936, the arboretum did not see much development until the 1960s — with the establishment of the Peter J. Shields Oak Grove, the Eric E. Conn Acacia Grove, the Carolee Shields White Flower Garden and Gazebo, the Wyatt Snack Bar (now known as Wyatt Deck) and Lake Spafford (near Mrak Hall). Then, shortly after this decade of growth, “the ax fell,” as described in a 1997 UC Davis Magazine article, “In Our Own Back Yard: A History of the UC Davis Arboretum,” by Barbara Anderson. It was late March 1971 when the university’s budget cuts eliminated funding for the arboretum, crushing its original goals to preserve the Putah Creek channel, to research the value of Mediterraneantype plants for use in Central Valley gardens, to provide specimens for teaching and research, and lastly, to serve as a recreation area. Enter the Friends. While there was an early group of supporters, particularly for the creation of the Peter J. Shields Oak Grove that was dedicated in April 1962, it was not until a few years later that the Friends received designation as an official university support group in order to pursue public fundraising. The timing worked well. On May 4, 1971, the bylaws for the official fundraising group were approved, and it was then able to raise the money and volunteer support necessary to get the arboretum through a year with no funding and successfully campaign to get its
budget reinstated. “It wasn’t easy, and the Friends weren’t the only ones who helped,” Daniel said. According to Anderson, letters of protest were received from other UC campuses, garden clubs, the California Association of Nurserymen, the California Native Plant Society, and the campus’s own academic staff and students, but mostly it was the Friends that saved the arboretum. Added Daniel, “From the very first sale of iris rhizomes harvested from the arboretum’s collections, to the first plant fairs on the lawn in front of arboretum headquarters in 1974, to today’s seasonal fall and spring plant sales that attract over 8,500 customers to the Arboretum Teaching Nursery annually, Friends members and volunteers have been there for the arboretum over the course of the last 50-plus years.” The Friends support continues to expand and now includes annual fundraising initiatives and endowments, including a volunteer program that provides more than 26,000 hours annually to landscape maintenance and seasonal plant sales (now online in response to the pandemic). It is efforts like these that landed the Friends in elite company, as an inaugural member of the Chancellor’s Laureate, recognizing individuals and organizations for cumulative donations of $1 million or more to university programs. “Anyone who appreciates the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden as a resource for our community can become a Friends member,” Daniel said. “It’s easy, and the annual membership gift provides multiple benefits to the member and the organization.” While many membership programs at botanical
gardens and museums offer free or discounted admission to visitors, that perk is not necessary when yearround entry to the Arboretum is already free to everyone. Instead, a variety of other incentives are offered, including discounts at the group’s popular plant sale fundraisers and free admission to other local and national museums and gardens. “Like NPR or PBS, it isn’t necessary to become a Friends member to enjoy the resource,” Daniel said. “But we hope many do in order to honor the importance of this place to our region, as well as to the faculty and students it serves.” Friends membership gifts also support the arboretum’s many free educational events, the care and growth of its gardens and collections and the entity’s innovative environmental leadership program, Learning by Leading. “We are thrilled to be honoring the 50th anniversary of this incredible group,” said Kathleen Socolofsky, assistant vice chancellor and director of the Arboretum and Public Garden. “Their role in the longevity of this campus and community resource cannot be overstated, and their involvement developing, maintaining and continuing to support this organization remains critical, especially during times like these. Please join us in celebrating them.” To commemorate the Friends’ contributions to the community, anniversary organizers invite anyone who loves and appreciates the arboretum, which encompasses most campus outdoor spaces including the historic 100acre Arboretum and Putah Creek Riparian Reserve, to participate in the celebration of the Friends 50th anniversary.

In the 1960s, campus and student funds supported the development of the Arboretum, but shortly after, in 1971, the Arboretum’s budget was completely cut. Support from the group now known as the Friends of the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden helped the gardens and collections survive and evolve into an amenity that now serves the campus and region as a resource for connecting with nature and learning about the environment.

Yolo County is seeking community input on how to spend the $42.8 million the county will be receiving from the American Rescue Plan. Priorities are transformational projects that improve the lives of residents. Eligible projects include those that support the response to the COVID-19 pandemic; address negative impacts caused by the public health emergency; replace lost public sector revenue; provide premium pay for essential workers; and invest in water, sewer and broadband infrastructure. “American Rescue Plan funding is an opportunity for Yolo County to address some of the impacts caused by the pandemic while also potentially investing in necessary infrastructure improvements,” said Supervisor Jim Provenza of Davis. “The Board of Supervisors would like to hear from community members prior to making a decision on how to allocate these funds.” County staff will be seeking that input at three in-person community meetings and one virtual meeting in July. Community members can submit their own proposals online to be

International award goes to UCD scientists By Kathy Keatley Garvey Special to The Enterprise Three UC Davis scientists, including distinguished professor Bruce Hammock, are part of the “click-chemistry team” that won the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Horizon Team Award for advancing chemistry and “pushing the boundaries of science.” In announcing the Horizon Team Award on June 8, the Royal Society of Chemistry applauded the 47 worldwide collaborators “for the development of multidimensional click chemistry, a next-gen clicktechnology that extends perfect bond creation into the three-dimensional world, opening doors to new frontiers in biomedicine, materials science, and beyond.” K. Barry Sharpless of the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, who won the 2001 Nobel Prize for Sharpless epoxidation, led the team. “His magic is like the click-chemistry he invented,” said Hammock, who holds a joint appointment with the UC Davis department of entomology and nematology and the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center. The award-winning team includes researcher Christophe Morisseau of the Hammock lab and Seiya Kitamura, who completed his doctorate in
the UC Davis Pharmacology/ Toxicology Graduate Group working with Hammock and Morisseau before starting a postdoctoral position at Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla. Morisseau described click-chemistry “as such a ubiquitous tool in multiple aspects of science that kits are sold and the chemistry utilized without even recognizing where it comes from. Many of the beautiful and informative fluorescent pictures of cells on journal covers are based on click chemistry.” The list of the team members reads like a Who’s Who of modern organic chemistry at multiple stages of their careers, Hammock noted. The team will receive a trophy and each member will receive a certificate. John Moses of the Cancer Center, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York, submitted the nomination on behalf of the team. The RSC Horizon Prizes “highlight the most exciting, contemporary chemical science at the cutting edge of research and innovation,” according to its website. “These prizes are for teams or collaborations who are opening up new directions and possibilities in their field, through ground-breaking scientific developments.”

SEALED: Artistic addition gives the area a whole new feel From Page A1
Vision Rachel Hartsough, the city’s arts and culture manager, managed the team that carried the project to fruition. She said the funding and leadership from the Roes is what brought it all together. “I cannot express enough gratitude for the amazing role they played in bringing this gift to the city.” Others on the committee were landscape architect Margot Anderson, and Shelton’s husband, John Mott-Smith. Ronnie Frostad, owner of the Sacramento bronze-casting foundry Frostad Atelier, did the fabrication. Shelton is thrilled that almost all the creative energy came from women — artist, city arts representative, landscape architect, foundry owner. Supporter Nancy Roe hopes to throw a ribbon-cutting party this summer or fall to celebrate the completion. Hartsough envisions the space as a small event venue, with performing groups using the mansion’s porch as a stage. She mentioned how many cities have “porch fests,” bringing local musicians and neighbors together to celebrate community. Mishka’s Café uses some of the space for additional outdoor seating. Owner Sinisa Novakovic hopes to feature jazz music on a regular basis. He said the seal looks great, and the landscaping opens the area, highlighting the historic building. Hartsough said the corner of Second and E streets has a whole new feel. And it’s great timing, as pandemic restrictions lift. “As soon as the construction tape came down, the chairs and umbrellas came back out and that space came to life.” Anderson, the landscape architect, said her job was to plan for the bricks, showcase the seal, accommodate walkways, and design things in a way that would complement the HuntBoyer mansion — historically and architecturally. She engineered it be a celebratory gathering space.

Artist Susan Shelton and others take photos as a crane lowers the Davis Centennial seal into position on May 25. Another element of the project is education. The seal tells so many stories, it’s hard to adequately describe. That’s where Larissa Saco comes in. The UC Davis Mellon Public Scholar will spend the summer collecting and explaining the elements of the seal. She’ll also develop curriculum for schools, and archive her findings. Hartsough said, “The goal would be to have every student in Davis get to take a field trip to the seal” to learn about the history of Davis, our local geography, the Patwin people, the native plants and animals, and the traditions and values we want to uphold as a community. Bill Roe said it’d be great to have a QR code onsite that people could scan with their phones, giving more details on the depictions.
Stories Stating, “In celebration of this land and its inhabitants over time,” the seal is an almost overwhelming presentation of scenes. “Some people say less is more,
but I always say more is more,” said Shelton, who came to Davis in 1975 and earned a degree in nutrition in 1979. It was at the UC Davis Craft Center that she fell in love with sculpting. At the seal’s center are its central geographical elements: Putah Creek, Lincoln Highway, Highway 113. The next ring shows the Patwin Indians, European missionaries and trappers who came to the area, as well as the four sovereignties: native America, Spain, Mexico and the U.S. The next ring — broken into two curved sides — shows the Jerome Davis Farm, University Farm, and how people used rowboats to get to Davisville from Sacramento. There’s The Davis Enterprise, which — along with the post office — was instrumental in dropping the “ville” from the city’s name. With innovation came the Yolo Causeway, and the former city arch that illustrated the link between the city and the university. This section also portrays the 1916 fire that destroyed much of the city, and the subsequent 1917 vote to incorporate. That section, along with an
outer ring of Putah Creek flora and fauna — is interrupted by two intersecting panels. These show migratory birds like the Swainson’s hawk and others along the Pacific Flyway. The interruption “represents the concept that sometimes as people, as societies, as countries, we lose our way,” Shelton said. “But with leadership, with vision, with cooperation, with aspiration, we can find our way again.” When pressed, Shelton said her favorite part of the seal is the outer ring: Putah Creek. “It connects us to our original landscape, and honors our original inhabitants, and represents so much of what I think is special about where we live.” She says she’s always drawn to natural imagery and tries to incorporate it into her work. The larger, triangular scenes in the seal depict 1917 to present, with images of the university, City Hall, the Davis Farmers Market, Village Homes, bicycles and bike lanes, tomatoes, almond trees, biotech, co-ops, art, sports and more. Not all the portrayals on the seal are celebratory. Some are meant to help us acknowledge and grow from our past, Hartsough notes. Shelton features an image honoring Thong Hy Huynh, a Davis High School student who was stabbed to death in a 1983 hate crime. The city honors Huynh’s life with an annual memorial award to raise awareness and to honor community members whose actions exemplify diversity, community, social justice and equal rights. Another panel illustrates the 50 Davis residents who took a Greyhound bus to Selma, Ala., in 1965 to march with Martin Luther King Jr., and how the city in 1978 became one of the first in the nation to divest from South Africa to protest apartheid. Shelton wanted to recognize “the ongoing struggle with inclusion and racism and how we come together in a time of tragedy.” One slice illustrates all the opportunities in our community
for children — in sports, arts, science, technology, engineering, math and other areas. But a girl watches the scene from afar, showing how some children end up excluded because they lack privilege or are bullied.
Teamwork Although the Roes gave some input on location and Bill Roe operated much like the general contractor, “Susan really had the heavy lifting,” Bill Roe said, speaking figuratively of the 500pound seal. “We didn’t want to tell her what to do … everything you see on the seal was a synthesis and product of her imagination.” Nancy Roe added, “We love her art; we knew we wouldn’t be disappointed.” The Roes have several of Shelton’s ceramic pieces in their North Davis home, and commissioned Shelton for the ceramic mural on the Davis Farmers Market shed that honors Nancy’s mother, Marie Witcombe. Nancy’s family came to Davis in 1932. Bill Roe also managed the brick orders, where organizations or individuals can choose the wording on the bricks. The plaza includes space for more than 2,000 inscribed bricks. The team placed 100 historic bricks memorializing important figures who have died and large bricks for the 11 key donors. Roe is taking orders for the next round of 50 or more bricks. Email billroe@tandemproperties.com for details. Roe called this his pandemic project, and raved about how well people worked together, despite COVID. They’re proud of how it turned out. Mayor Gloria Partida acknowledged the contributions of the Roes and other project supporters. “The Centennial Seal tells an amazing story about the Davis community — who we were, who we are, and who we aspire to be. It creates an important focal point in our downtown, and hopefully one that continues to draw people together.”
Obituaries Mary Jane Newman Feb. 5, 1945 — June 1, 2021
Mary Jane Newman passed away peacefully on Tuesday, June 1, 2021, at 76 years old. She succumbed to breast cancer after a short battle with the disease, though had been struggling with different health issues for several years. A longtime Davis resident — Mary moved to the city in 1972 — she was an accomplished writer, poet and artist. She showed her work, including ceramics and pastels, at the Pence Gallery, the Davis Arts Center and The Artery, but was also known for her published poems and short stories. Mary lived many lives in her one life. As someone who deeply enjoyed learning and felt a deep commitment to politics and the environment, she showed great dedication to a variety of local and national issues.
Before turning her full attention to the arts, Mary worked at the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, L.A. Moran Reforestation Center in Davis, was a social worker for Yolo County, and earned her BA in Liberal Arts at UC Davis (1974) — all while raising her son Ben as a single mother. Mary was born in Norfolk, Va., at the Naval Shipyard Hospital to Gerald Cook and Dorothy Baker Cook on Feb. 5, 1945. Her father served in the Coast Guard and was deployed to the Pacific Combat Zone during the time of her birth. The eldest of six siblings, Mary grew up taking care of her brothers and sisters, serving as a mother figure to them throughout her life. Positive and encouraging in disposition, with never an
Harriet Anne Cohen
July 24, 1933 — May 20, 2021 Harriet Anne Cohen, 87, a longtime resident of Davis pass away peacefully on Monday, May 20, 2021, after a long illness. She is survived by her children Michael, Lori and Karen; stepchildren Irwin, Barbara and JoAnn; and 10 grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. Born on July 24, 1933, in Salt Lake City, Harriet moved to California in 1957. She was married twice, first to Frank H. Withers 1958-1975 with whom she had three children — Michael, Lori and Karen — Then to Milt Cohen, 1984-2019, with whom she moved to Davis, a place they visited often and both grew to love. Harriet very much enjoyed Jazzercize, water aerobics, cross-stitching,
homemaking and gardening. She was an avid sports fan and seldom missed a UC Davis COHEN football or basketball game. Harriet was well liked by all. She was easy to talk with and quick to make friends. Well known for her warmth, patience and willingness to lend a hand when needed. Harriet was someone who exuded a friendliness that put even the most dubious or retiring at ease. Greatly respected and greatly loved, she will be missed. Interment will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, June 26, at Davis Cemetery.
ill word to say about anyone, Mary was widely considered as a mentor, advisor, and NEWMAN thought partner by both friends and family. She was unguarded in how she shared her interests with those around her, and two of her nieces credit her with fundamentally shaping the art-focused trajectories of their, and their children’s, lives. She was also the best dog mother around. She was preceded in death by her brothers, Mike Cook, Bob Cook and Bill Cook, and also her dogs Spot, Voyager, Shasta, Super and Bindi. Mary is survived by her husband, Jim Newman; son Ben Black (Nicole); sister Carol Cook; brother Richard Cook; sisters-in-law Diana Newman Hicks (Roy),
Barbara Cook, Ida Cook and Sue Cook; many cousins, nieces and nephews; and grandsons Anthony, Brian and Drake. And of course her dog Dahlia.

Horst Weinberg d. June 14, 2021
Dr. Horst Weinberg, age 93, passed away peacefully on June 14, 2021, in Davis. Born in Germany, he spent much of his childhood in Bombay, India, before coming to America at age 16. Horst studied at Park College and the University of Michigan where he received his bachelor’s degree. He received his medical degree from the University of Chicago in 1953. Following an internship at the University of Cincinnati, a tour in the U.S. Air Force as a flight surgeon, and pediatric training in Philadelphia and Oakland, Horst practiced pediatrics in Fresno for almost 40 years.
He was active at Valley Children’s Hospital, published more than 25 papers on pediatrics, and published a book for parents on how to take care of their children. For six years he appeared weekly on KSEE24, a Central California TV station, doing a segment called “The Doctor is In,” answering questions phoned in by parents. After retirement, he donated his time to work in New Jersey at a Free Clinic seeing children. In 2005 he moved with wife Carol to Sacramento, where he volunteered one day weekly seeing children at the Oak Park Free Clinic and Salud Clinic for many

Talking show dogs and my favorite beers I had a dog as a small boy. His name was Chum and I loved him. He was a great dog except for one foible: he could not tolerate people in uniform. Tragedy ensued after he attacked a policeman who was passing our door and we were required to euthanize him. I have never owned a dog since. The reason for that is not antipathy towards dogs but rather because I am not sure I would be a worthy owner. This may tell me I am not a dog lover although I know I am a dog admirer. I admire the long history dogs have as human companions, for their devotion to the human specie and their sheer usefulness, among other things, as working animals for herding, hunting and helping those in need. I enjoy dog shows very much. I cannot say I seek them out but I have run into them in many places. It is a pleasure to see handsome animals well groomed and displaying their stuff for the judges. I saw part of the Westminster Dog Show at which there was a magnificent display of the nobility and grandeur and even beauty of dogs. What an extraordinary letdown when the judge chose as
the Best Dog in Show a hairball Pekingese (Chinese dog) called Wasabi (Japanese spice). For my money the judge could have chosen practically any other dog in the competition to represent the wonders of the world of dogdom. Indeed, I would take a shaggy sheep dog from the hills of Wales or Scotland over a hairball lapdog, however beautiful, to say “Dog” — “This is a dog!” I know, I know — I misunderstand the purpose of dog shows. You might wonder what this has to do with beer and you would be right to ask that question. The answer is that I run into the same general phenomenon when a discussion of the best or favorite beer comes up, which, in my world, happens often enough. The general phenomenon is the tendency, under such circumstances of pressure, to reach for the exotic or the

A conversation usually begins by my being asked what is my favorite beer. My first answer is always a quip: “What have you got?” to imply that a beer in the here and now, in the immediate offing, is always the best and my favorite. At this my questioner usually
reports in rapt terms a beer he (or sometimes she) remembers drinking in Boston or Beijing or Botswana. It’s never a beer we can go to the store and buy and taste together the wonders of it. Now I don’t doubt that a beer drinker can have rapturous recollections of a beer drinking experience that was unique and memorable, but he is likely reacting as much to the occasion and the place and the company and the atmosphere as to the beer specifically. This magic beer-drinking experience can never be repeated but is forever memorable and that beer becomes one’s best and favorite. Hence we wind up with a hairball Pekingese as Best in Show. My second answer to the “best beer” question is more-or-less as useless as the first. I answer that I have three beers in this category: Budweiser, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Guinness. By this answer I mean to illustrate the mainstream range of beers that is a continuum from light and elegant to dark and sturdy and that these three excellent beers are iconic markers on that continuum. In almost any beer market these three beers could well be present. Each beer market may offer several, perhaps many,
beers in each category that these three iconic beers represent. Then which kind of beer best suits the occasion? And that’s where the answer to the best and favorite beer lies. What is available here and now? In Cape Town, I would doubtless select a Castle Lager. In London, Old Speckled Hen; in Paris, 1664; in Sidney, Victoria Bitter; in Tokyo, Kirin Ichiban; in Amsterdam, Heineken; in Dublin, Guinness; and in Chico, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. None of these beers are exotic or curious beers; they are the go-to beers of the locals and popular with them. Drink local (see photo). As I travel in California I always look for Scrimshaw from Fort Bragg or 805 from Paso Robles and usually have them in my beer refrigerator along with the iconic threesome. Come to think of it, my jokey answer to the best beer question, “What have you got?” might be the best answer, because it assumes the questioner has available a locally popular beer and that’s almost always the best beer and my favorite. — Reach Michael Lewis at lewiswales@me.com.

Davis Odd Fellows announce $10K scholarship winners Special to The Enterprise Several years ago, the Davis Odd Fellows Lodge established a 501(c)(3) corporation to provide college scholarships of $5,000 to $10,000 to former orphans or foster children who have met and surmounted life’s challenges and who have excelled in high school. A number of young men and women have received these scholarships over the years. The Davis Odd Fellows Charities, Inc. announced the 2021 selection of two outstanding recipients, each of whom will receive a $10,000 scholarship. The first scholarship recipient is Concepcion Barbara Rivers, she is 18, and she comes from French Camp, a small unincorporated community in San Joaquin County. Her academic GPA on graduation is 4.25. She has been accepted to the University of New Haven in Connecticut, on the campus of Yale University, and school starts on Aug. 23. Her major will be legal studies. And she hopes to go to law school after she
Name Droppers graduates; she has her eye on Yale Law School. Concepcion had a rough start in life. She was removed from her biological mother by Child Protective Services at 4, along with her other siblings, for abuse and neglect. She has five biological siblings, but only two were adopted with her. She moved around a lot in the system for a few years. Concepcion says, “I had many tantrums and anger issues, so I never stayed at one home for more than half a year.” When she was 7, she was adopted into a stable home by the Rivers family. President of Davis Odd Fellows Charities Inc., Dave Rosenberg said, “I think we will hear a great deal more from Concepcion in the coming years. This young lady has both dreams and drive. She will use this scholarship to gain knowledge, insight and skills to help others. I have no doubt that Concepcion will ‘pay it
forward’ so that many others are benefited by the award.” The second recipient is Joy Marie Taylor, 18, who lives in West Sacramento and attends Delta High School in Clarksburg. Her GPA on graduation is 3.9. Joy has been accepted to Simpson University in Redding and starts in August. Her major is psychology. In her application, Joy wrote the following: “As a child, I spent my whole life with my mom and my aunt. Growing into adolescence, my past was filled with abuse, violence, anger and change. My mom was a criminal, not only in stores but toward me. I spent years in isolation, held from being a normal child. By the age of 14, my mom and I lost our home. Her boyfriend stayed with us and we spent days in and out of cars and hotels. I was in ninth, almost 10th, when my mom became broke indefinitely and at this point, I was given up to live with an old friend. School became challenging, friends grew distant, and I had
nobody. By the start of 10th grade, my principal began to follow the patterns. She talked and I listened. The very next day an officer showed, tried calling my mom with no answer. He decided it was best for me to follow him to the foster care facility.” Joy now has adoptive parents, and is doing exceptionally well at school. She plays on the soccer team and is a sprinter on the
track team. She volunteers monthly with her dad delivering boxes of food for the county food bank. In the future, she wants to do charity work, helping other people learn about themselves. She thinks that learning more about how behavior defines someone might assist her with this goal. She wants to work with people hearing their stories, and sharing hers. Being adopted she wants to
use her experiences to help other kids with what they are going through. Said Rosenberg, “This young lady is precisely the sort of person we had hoped to help when we established this scholarship.”

PLACE: Officials, community enthused From Page A1 Pride, executive director of DCMH — will include: n Four emergency shelter beds, staff offices, a dining and kitchen area, laundry, bathrooms and a resource center on the first floor; n 10 transitional singleoccupant bedrooms with shared kitchen, laundry, living room, bathrooms and offices on the second floor; and n Nine single-occupant permanent supportive micro-units on each of the third and fourth floors (18 total micro units). Among those digging a shovel into the dirt on Monday were the business, healthcare and community leaders who helped bring the project to fruition. Local hoteliers Reed and Susan Youmans paid for the feasibility study to see if there was sufficient community support and then led the fundraising effort; Partnership Health Plan provided a $750,000 grant; nationally recognized Davis architect Maria Ogrydziak designed the project; hundreds of Davis residents, businesses and organizations contributed financially; and Sutter Health provided a matching grant of $2.5 million. “Today would not be possible without the dogged commitment to positive change that has driven so many in our community to action,” said Pride. “Paul’s Place will improve the lives of people who need help, as well as the quality of life for all in our city.” Echoing Pride was Rachael McKinney, CEO of Sutter Davis Hospital.
“We stand here today to celebrate construction of what will surely be a safe refuge for many,” she said. “We know that when unhoused individuals find housing, their health improves, their lives improve and thus our communities improve.” Davis Mayor Gloria Partida called the project “a cornerstone for our homelessness response.” The City Council approved the project in June 2020 and the city’s contribution to the effort included partnering with the county to purchase the duplex next door to the 1111 H St. site and leasing it to Davis Community Meals and Housing to provide day services during the construction of Paul’s Place. The $5 million needed to construct Paul’s Place came primarily from private sources and fundraising continues in order to cover rising construction costs, as well as to create an endowment that will be used to pay for maintenance. Among those spearheading that fundraising effort are the Youmans, both of whom were on hand Monday for the groundbreaking. “Paul’s Place will enhance the quality of life for our entire community,” said Reed Youmans. “We can help change the lives of those experiencing homelessness, help more people transition to stability and improve the community for all.” A year from now, he said before the groundbreaking, “we’ll gather again…. and we’ll have this open up and it’s going to be great.” To learn more about Paul’s Place or to donate, visit https://paulsplace davis.org.

VACCINATION: Statistics stagnant in Yolo County From Page A1 Vaccination rates in Yolo County have not improved much in recent weeks with the percentage of residents fully or partially vaccinated remaining largely the same in most cities, according to data from the state. In Davis, the vaccination rate in the 95618 zip code rose slightly with 79 percent of residents in that zip code having received at least one vaccine dose and 68 percent fully vaccinated — one of the highest rates of fully vaccinated residents in the county. Meanwhile, the other Davis zip code — 95616 — has not shown much improvement. As of June 16, 64 percent of residents in that zip code had received at least one vaccine dose and 56 percent were fully vaccinated. In Woodland, 82 percent of residents in the 95776 zip code have received at
least one vaccine dose and 64 percent are fully vaccinated. In the 95695 zip code, 63 percent of residents have received at least one dose and 49 percent are fully vaccinated. Vaccination rates in Winters remained the same as the week before, with 60 percent of residents in the 95694 zip code partially vaccinated and 44 percent fully vaccinated. West Sacramento’s numbers also remained largely unchanged week over week, with 52 percent of residents in the 95605 zip code partially vaccinated and 43 percent fully vaccinated. That city’s 95691 zip code has seen 66 percent of residents partially vaccinated and 56 percent fully vaccinated as of June 16. In addition to the county’s vaccine clinics and callto-order service, Yolo County residents can find more vaccine options at MyTurn.ca.gov.
CORONA: Legacy will continue From Page A1 Corona was a 22-yearold rookie and rising star in the Davis Police Department when a disturbed gunman ambushed her on Jan. 10, 2019, as she investigated a traffic collision in downtown Davis. He took his own life during a police standoff later that night. The tragedy, along with the story of Corona’s passion for police work, garnered attention across the country and beyond — including in Grand Junction, Colo., where Cappetto has made a series of documentaries honoring war veterans and lawenforcement officers. “Her life inspired me,” Cappetto, himself a former sheriff ’s deputy, told The Davis Enterprise back in
September 2019. “She was an amazing young woman taken just way too soon.” After reaching out to Corona’s family for their blessing on the project, Cappetto traveled to California in July 2019 to interview dozens of the fallen officer’s family, colleagues, friends and others who influenced her life. The family also shared photos and home movies from Corona’s upbringing. “Our hope is that the story of Natalie’s life comes out, beyond the uniform and the badge, and people will be able to see the caring person she was her whole life,” said Merced Corona, Natalie’s father. “Natalie was a beautiful person inside and out, and we want her legacy to continue.”

Redefining ‘back to school’
Counselors fight back against virus-induced enrollment decline By Charlotte West and Angel Fabre CalMatters In early June, 19-year-old Brian Cruz was on a break from his warehouse job at Amazon, listening to music. He scrolled through the messages on his phone and saw an email from the college and career center at his old high school in Hemet, a high desert town in Southern California. Even though Cruz graduated from Tahquitz High School last year, the email invited him to make an appointment with a school counselor. Last spring, Cruz decided to put off college and work while he waited out the pandemic. But a year of packing boxes at Amazon and a lifetime of seeing family members work manual labor made him anxious to go back to school as soon as possible. “I was happy to get that email, because I really didn’t know what to do,” he said. Cruz is one of the first students to participate in College Comeback, a counseling program launched by the Riverside County Office of Education at the end of May. A team of six spends 25 hours a week reaching out to the high school class of 2020 after data revealed that 2,300 fewer students — a decline of around 8% — went to college in fall 2020 compared to the year before. The numbers from Riverside County mirror trends in other parts of the state and the country. Nationally, college going rates for students straight out of high school were down 13% overall and 22% at community colleges in fall 2020, according to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, a non-profit that tracks enrollment data. Experts attribute the enrollment decline to the COVID-19 pandemic and aren’t sure how soon — or whether — those numbers will bounce back. “That’s one in five freshmen who would have been expected to go to a community college this fall that simply didn’t show up,” said Doug Shapiro, executive research director at the Clearinghouse, during a presentation for the Education Writers Association in May. Coming back A few days after getting the email from the school counselor, Cruz logged onto a Zoom appointment with counselor Yuri Nava. He told her he’d been accepted to University of California Riverside last year, but didn’t enroll after he found out classes would be online. Nava informed him he’d missed the Nov. 30 deadline for the upcoming school year, so he’d have to wait until fall 2022 to start at UC Riverside. No one had told Cruz that he had the option to defer his admission a year, he said. Nava then walked Cruz through his options, encouraging him to think about community college. She worked with Cruz on filling out his financial aid application, also known as the FAFSA, and booked another
appointment to complete his application and select classes at Riverside City College. “I don’t know where I even have to begin,” he said. “I’ve been talking to people from (colleges) and they haven’t really been very clear on what I actually have to do to get into the school and choose the classes. I mean I tried it, but I really couldn’t do it myself.” College Comeback has been a boon to students like Cruz, but time will tell how many students the program will be able to reach. Outreach to students last summer showed how challenging it can be to get large numbers of students to reengage in higher education, but also how effective one-on-one counseling can be for individual students.
How it works After they graduate, students lose the support they’d normally get from their high school counselors. College Comeback is the first program of its kind in California, specifically targeting recent graduates who want to go to college but don’t know how. Students who graduated from Riverside County high schools last year can sign onto a booking website to make different types of appointments to explore postsecondary options, fill out a FAFSA or California Dream Act form for undocumented students, fill out a college application and learn about career and technical programs or military service. The county has paid counselors like Nava a stipend to take on the extra workload via money previously allocated to things like travel. Whereas high school counseling often involves group workshops, the alumni program focuses on individual appointments, said Catalina Cifuentes, director of college and career counseling for Riverside County. Because counselors are also trained mental health professionals, they also provide social and emotional support for students who might be facing challenges that impact their educational choices, Nava said. College Comeback also collaborates with colleges and universities and stays in touch until the student has registered for classes. “We don’t want the students to get a run around,” Cifuentes said. The program got off to a slow start because district leaders were worried about diverting attention from the current class of seniors, but currently has approval to continue for the foreseeable future, according to Cifuentes. Education experts say there’s ongoing need for postsecondary support for all graduates that will persist beyond the pandemic. Statewide, almost 22,000 fewer seniors from the class of 2021 have

This summer, Riverside counselors will also be working with 2021 graduates to make sure they complete all the steps necessary to go to college this fall.
A big problem Clearinghouse’s Shapiro said the college-going data is alarming. “It continues to get worse when you drill down into some of the demographics within that,” he said of the national data. “For Black students, Latinx and Indigenous students, in particular, the declines were almost twice as steep.” San Diego County, for example, saw a drop in college-going seniors by around 11% with around 16,000 of the county’s 26,500 graduates headed to college in 2020. The drop was even more “catastrophic” for some groups: 17% for low income students, 24% for Native American students and 33% for English language learners, according to Shannon Coulter, director of research and evaluation at San Diego County Office of Education. While experts hoped students who disappeared in the fall would return in the spring, so far that’s not the case. Recent spring enrollment data from the Clearinghouse show similar declines in enrollment between this year and last spring. “The effect has been that this pandemic has been exposing and widening existing inequities in our society, even to the extent of reversing the progress that we’ve made in recent years around closing the equity gaps in terms of access to college,” Shapiro said. That has borne out in Riverside County, which had one of the worst college-going rates in California back in 2013 at around 54% percent, according to Cifuentes, the Riverside County counseling

director. Through concerted efforts aimed at improving college going, including professional development for counselors and a huge push for FAFSA completion, the county had been able to boost college enrollment rates to more than 60% as of 2019. But between 2020 and 2019, the enrollment rate dropped almost back down to the 2013 levels. Cifuentes said the pandemic “erased all of the progress we’ve made in the last seven years.” Shapiro said that colleges need to figure out how to reach not only current high school seniors but also those who graduated last year. “They’re disconnected now from education,” he said. “These are students that if they don’t make it back, they’ll be disadvantaged in terms of their skills, their employability, their earning potential. Not just themselves, but their families, their communities, and our whole country … will suffer from that.”
Troubling declines While statewide data isn’t available, the number of California high school graduates from the class of 2020 who went to college dropped in several of the state’s most populous districts compared to the year before, according to Clearinghouse data provided to CalMatters. All eight districts and four counties for which CalMatters viewed data saw a decline in graduates going directly to college, ranging from 2.5% in San Mateo Unified to 13.1% in Fresno Unified. Districts with a higher share of lowincome students or students enrolling at community college saw bigger drops. That translates into thousands of California students who didn’t go to college last year. In Los Angeles Unified, the largest school district in California, college-going rates decreased from 68% to 59% between 2019 to 2020, a drop of more than 2,600 students, according to Clearinghouse data. Oakland Unified dropped 11% with around 46% of its 2020 grads headed to college, while San Francisco Unified reported a 6% decline. The decline in college going rates has significant implications for students, colleges and California. Following national trends, California has made significant progress over the last several years in improving college going rates, especially for groups that are historically underrepresented in higher education, so the recent declines are troubling, said Hans Johnson, director of the Higher Education Center at the Public Policy

Institute of California. “We know that going to college is one of the most important ways that we continue to achieve economic mobility in our state,” he said. Johnson said the question is how many high school graduates who didn’t go to college because of the pandemic will eventually go back. “Anytime a student stops out, for whatever reason, they’re less likely to ever return (to college), even if they have good intentions,” he said. Students and counselors cite a number of reasons for the decline. Many, like Cruz, wanted to avoid online learning or didn’t have reliable Internet access, while others became primary wage earners in their households, or took on care responsibilities. Some students who tried to enroll in the fall ended up dropping their classes because they struggled with online classes. Colleges have also reported increases in students who are only attending part time. Some members of the class of 2020 are taking the more traditional “gap year,” where they’ve been admitted and defer a year. At Stanford, for example, 378 first-year students — or around 20 percent of the incoming class — opted to wait until fall 2021.
Proof of concept Educators in Riverside County realized the need for the College Comeback program last summer after working with students like Ariel Jennings, who had just graduated from La Quinta High School near Palm Desert. The 19-year-old had been admitted to UC Riverside, but didn’t accept the school’s offer because she was unsure of how much financial aid she was getting. “I missed the deadline, like, twice,” she said. “And I didn’t understand financial aid or the paperwork or anything like that.” Jennings didn’t know where to turn. “At that point, we weren’t in school anymore so I couldn’t go to a high school counselor for help either,” she said. “My parents and I just felt really alone in the process.” She tried to contact UC Riverside herself, but “it’s really frustrating sending emails and then getting a reply two weeks later, and no one actually talking to you,” she said. The responses Jennings did get were vague, telling her to email other departments on campus. So she decided to enroll at College of the Desert, “since classes were going to be online anyway.” And then later in the summer, Jennings got a phone call. “I thought it was just one of those spam calls or something,” she said. “But I answered anyway.” The voice on the other end of the line was counselor Yuri Nava, who told Jennings she could help her. Nava explained Jennings’ financial aid award and told her it wasn’t too late to go to UC Riverside after all. — Charlotte West is a reporting coach and training coordinator with CalMatters College Journalism Network.

Anti-Semitic trend hits Stanford
Watershed A restoration is key to future By Laurie Wayburn Special to CalMatters
C
alifornia is in a megadrought, with its key reservoirs falling to their lowest points in history. Wildfire season is already here, and officials are bracing for yet another catastrophic year. Meanwhile, rural communities remain in desperate need of viable, sustainable economic futures. One climate-smart solution that addresses all these needs is watershed restoration. As California lawmakers and state agencies figure out how to implement the state budget bill, they must include major investments to restore the natural infrastructure we rely on for our water, oxygen and climate mitigation: forested watersheds. In a state spanning over 100 million acres, determining where and how to invest in restoring that natural infrastructure in a time of climate change is a challenge. The scope at hand requires us to plan and act for the long term and large scale, ensuring that the benefits of the investment will persist despite climate change. We need to scale up and think bigger — to cover an entire watershed, not just pieces of it. The good news is that we now have climate modeling data that points to a smart place to start: the Sacramento River headwaters region, a 7 million-acre set of watersheds and the surrounding 3 million-acre buffer that is the heart of our water supply. Climate researchers studied the region using multiple scenarios and found that it provides highly favorable conditions to secure the state’s water supply and protect California’s outstanding biodiversity for at least the next 100 years. It also is at the heart of the state’s most productive forests, and is a key carbon storage area. In other words, this is a part of the state where investments in our natural water infrastructure would have significant and enduring effects on water supply, biodiversity, climate and jobs.
national rise in antiJewish bigotry has allegedly spread to this state’s most prestigious university after earlier infecting the process of creating California’s new ethnic studies curriculum and spurring record amounts of antiSemitic vandalism and violence over the last year. The strongest reaction to what’s happening at Stanford University, perpetually ranked among the world’s five leading academic institutions, comes in a complaint just filed with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) by a former decade-long director of Stanford’s student counseling service and a 13-year therapist there. The complaint filed for psychiatrist Ronald Albucher and therapist Sheila Levin, an eating-disorder specialist, claims anti-Semitism created a year-long hostile work environment for them and others. What allegedly occurred at the counseling service is not unique either at Stanford or in California. Federal authorities and the Anti-Defamation League report anti-Semitic episodes, up dramatically over the previous year, rose even more after a nine-day exchange of rocket and missile fire between Israel and the Palestinian terror organization Hamas in mid-May. One incident saw proPalestinian activists drive several cars up to a Los Angeles restaurant and ask if anyone there was a Jew. They then bloodied several startled
individuals before driving off. Violent anti-Semitism like this revives one of the world’s oldest plagues. The Los Angeles beatings occurred in a far more publicly visible place than the deadly synagogue shootings in Pittsburgh and Poway. The anti-Semitism evidenced in the Stanford complaint and the creation of the ethnic studies curriculum has not been so open. While creating the curriculum, for example, advocates of Critical Ethnic Studies quietly included Jews in stating that pale-skinned immigrant groups gave up all or most of their prior identities after arrival in America, eagerly accepting “white privilege.” That’s obviously false. This pattern repeated at Stanford, the complaint charges, when a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) program in the student counseling service “advanced antiSemitic tropes concerning Jewish power, conspiracy and control and endorsed the narrative that Jews support white supremacy …” In fact, Jews were leading supporters of civil rights in America long before the Freedom Riders of the 1960s, where they made up about
half of all white participants. The EEOC complaint says the DEI program “refused to address (increasing on campus) incidents of antiSemitism including … drawing of Nazi-style swastikas in prominent locations, including within Memorial Church,” a Stanford landmark. A week before the complaint was filed, Rabbi Jessica Kirschner, head of Stanford’s Jewish student organization Hillel, wrote to Jewish alumni that anti-Semitism has infected student-to-student relations on campus. She said multiple Jewish students have been confronted by fellow students saying things like “Don’t talk to me if you’re Jewish.”
I
magine the strong response if the targets had been Black or Latino. So far, Stanford has done nothing. The EEOC complaint also cited a presentation to predoctoral students by the counseling service that announced a program exploring “how Jews are connected to white supremacy.” Stanford administrators allegedly ignored objections to this for more than a year before the federal complaint was made. “These things reinforce anti-Semitic stereotypes,” said Alyza Lewin, president of the Washington, D.C.based Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights, which filed the complaint. “They create a false picture of Jews as negative beings. That encourages the kind of antiSemitism we are seeing
nationally.” Neither accepting nor denying any of this, Stanford deplored the alleged incidents. “Stanford forcefully rejects anti-Semitism in all its forms,” a spokesperson told a reporter. Added Dee Mostofi, Stanford’s assistant vice president of media relations, “We are launching a … program this summer and fall aimed at recognizing and addressing bias and discrimination.” This action may be too little and too late to prevent harm to Stanford’s reputation and could harm recruiting of faculty and students. Rabbi Kirschner told alumni she will soon meet with Stanford President Marc Tessier Lavigne, “who has assured me he is committed to deploying university resources to address antiSemitism …” Meanwhile, the university responses look tepid to many alumni. Said Lewin, “What happens to the university’s reputation depends on how it responds. Stanford has the opportunity to become a real leader in fighting all kinds of bias, including racism and anti-Semitism.” No one knows yet whether it will do that. — Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

he Sacramento River headwaters provide the vast majority of water used in the state, supplying drinking water for residents and agriculture all the way down to Southern California. Restoring forests, meadows and wetlands in this region helps increase overall water storage, improving the watershed’s ability to hold more water and retain it longer in hot, dry summers. Water infrastructure investment based on smart and thoughtful forest management and conservation practices in the region would reduce the intensity of wildfires, too. Fewer catastrophic wildfires means we could save lives and properties and keep air quality at healthier levels. Finally, restoring one of the most powerful carbon sinks in California would help us reach carbon neutrality by 2045. It’s going to take human labor to help the natural infrastructure do all this work for us. Watershed restoration would support thousands of jobs in forestry, ecosystem restoration, fire management, road upgrades and other sectors, bringing in dollars that would multiply in benefits as they circulate in a region with some of the highest unemployment rates and greatest income inequality in California. With our rural economy in challenging straits, a drought emergency in large swaths of the state, ever-growing risk of wildfires, and the climate crisis affecting frontline communities harder than ever, California is facing a quadruple threat. Investing in our natural water infrastructure meaningfully addresses every one of these challenges. Gov. Gavin Newsom has shown the will to do this, with his executive order to protect 30% of the state’s land by 2030. And with this year’s historic budget surplus, California has the means to make progress on climate-smart solutions. The Sacramento River headwaters region is a priority place to start.

Letters Housing Trust Fund Since 1989, I am a long-term resident of Davis, exceedingly concerned about its image. Davis is widely perceived — intentionally or unintentionally — as an exclusive enclave unaffordable to residents of middle and lower incomes — unaffordable to teachers, nurses, childcare workers and others who rent or attempt to purchase housing here. Today, the city’s perceived image rests on economic barriers seeming to carry forward its earlier barriers specified by covenant agreements (Oeste Covenant, e.g.) to exclude and discriminate against persons lacking Anglo-American identity. Threats of violence, lynching and massacres in California and its “sundown towns” were backed by state-sanctioned bounty, Exclusion Acts and practice of redlining against persons of African, Asian, Latinx and First Nations identities.

Strategy of the Social Services Commission supported by Housing Element committee members. I was informed that the draft Housing Trust Fund was submitted to the Housing Element Committee. I urge members of the Davis City Council to approve the draft Housing Trust Fund as part of the Housing Element of the Davis General Plan. The draft Housing Trust Fund allocates programs to address housing needs of three groups — the unhoused, renters and buyers — and identifies revenue sources for growing the funds available supporting these programs. For the unhoused, the draft Housing Trust Fund increases emergency noncongregate shelter capacity; refurbishes existing structures and buildings as permanent supportive housing; and increases support of case management for permanent supportive housing. For renters, the draft Housing Trust Fund offers assistance vouchers; assistance for deposits, utilities, credit repair, moving costs; and educational programs on economic self-sufficiency.

Ending endless wars The U.S. House voted on June 17 to end the 2002 Authorization for the Use of Military Force — the so-called “Iraq AUMF” — which, over 19 years, has provided three presidents with a blank check for military actions that were unconnected to the Sept. 11 attacks or to Al Qaida. The vote on this bill was 268-161, with 49 Republicans joining the majority. This is a big step toward limiting the imperial presidency and returning the responsibility for war to Congress, as specified in the U.S. Constitution. We thank Rep. John Garamendi for co-sponsoring this bill and speaking out publicly on the issue. Stu Pettygrove Davis

B4 THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE
What do you do? Dear Annie: I have been married to my husband for 15 years. During that time, I have had several retail and grocery store jobs. Currently, I do not work because most retail and grocery store jobs have me working nights and weekends, and when doing that, I hardly ever see my husband, since he works long hours and travels. When we first met, I owned my own house, had savings and no debt and was working as a waitress. I had the same amount of money going into the marriage as he did. My husband makes good money, and I am really good at budgeting and saving. So our current arrangement works fine for us. My problem is that when I’m introduced to people and they ask what I do, I’m not sure what to say. I can’t say I am a stay-athome mom because we have no children. I now try to avoid meeting new people because most of the time it goes badly. Where I live, people are networking all the time so it is common for them to ask where I work within the first few minutes of meeting me. Before, when I told people I worked in retail, some made condescending remarks. My husband’s family has consistently snubbed me because of the retail and waitressing jobs I’ve had and my lack of a college degree. What should I say? — Unemployed & Uncomfortable Dear Unemployed: When people ask what you do, tell them what you do — your hobbies and passions — and don’t shy away from sharing your work history. There’s nothing wrong with working in retail. An office job
Legals@DavisEnterprise.net does not make someone a better person: for proof, just look at your in-laws, who, despite all their college degrees, sound pretty darn ignorant.
worked my way out of my depression. It won’t happen overnight, but little by little, “Regretful” will become an example of positive behavior for her children, and they may come back around. She needs to get busy making new memories and a great life for herself and her children. — Blessed and Happy Woman Dear Blessed: These are all wonderful tips for improving one’s mood and overall health, alongside the counsel of a doctor.
Parenting amends Dear Annie: This is in response to “Regretful Mom,” who says she was a neglectful mother and her adult children cut her out of their lives. Depression is a very serious problem, but can be overcome with self-reflection and a determination that life can be more joyful and happy. Brain chemistry can be changed with a change in diet, exercise, changing thought processes and with the knowledge that God loves you and wants you to be healthy mentally, emotionally and physically. Forty years ago I suffered from depression because of a failed marriage and an overwhelming feeling that I would never be happy again. Before marriage, I had been happy, so what had changed? I grew up with a strong sense of God’s presence in my life but years of negative emotions and feelings of worthlessness took its toll. I changed my diet, started taking vitamin B complex for stress, exercised and did yoga regularly, went back to church and surrounded myself with positive people, thoughts and the things I loved and needed. Gradually, I
Dear Annie: I have a daughter and a son, who are now 27 and 30, respectively. I have always tried to be a good mother to both of them. But somehow, my daughter was always the lovable one. My son always rubbed me the wrong way, and I scolded him much more and was much stricter with him. I wanted my children to be independent and be able to care for themselves. I guess I pushed my son more than my daughter. My son was always the angry one, picking on his younger sister. Over the years, I tried several times to ask him why and get him to talk. He never did. Yesterday, he confessed that he was bullied as a child; his father and I never knew and so never did anything about it. He also said that he felt I never loved him as I did his sister. I told him how sorry I was for what he went through and admitted that I treated him differently, something I never should have done but could not control. He told me he does not hate me, which is what I always felt. What other advice do you have for me to make amends? — Helpless

Dear Helpless: Loving one child more than the other most certainly qualifies as a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes; welcome to being a human. It’s great that you now know better and are trying to do better with your son by taking ownership of your mistakes and assuring him of your love. You might want to seek the help of a professional therapist to better understand why you had a more difficult time with your son. The more you understand yourself, the more you can share with him. You can also let him know that your parenting style had nothing to do with him and everything to do with what you were dealing with as a mother. ——— Dear Annie: I am a 74-year-old woman. I have two sisters, both of whom are older than me. I had a heart attack in February. Since then, I have not heard from either one. Not even a hello. I’m not asking for sympathy, but they don’t even ask how I am doing. It has been hard at times. I am going to cardiac rehab, which I know will help in time. The thing that bothers me the most is that I see them on Facebook sending comments to others who are ill. And birthday wishes. I have sent them birthday wishes and called or sent get well wishes. What should I do? — Feeling Hurt Dear Hurt: I’m glad you are on the mend and taking the necessary steps to better your health. Sometimes we are looking for sympathy, love and kindness from others when we really need to give all of that to ourselves. Be kind to yourself and your body first. Then call your sisters and tell them how much you miss them.

Choose and commit Dear Annie: I’m so confused, and I don’t know what to do. I have been married for four months, and I truly love my husband and believe that he loves me. My problem is that he cheated on me about two years ago with multiple women, and not only that, he proposed to one of them. It’s a long story. But since then, he’s been the perfect guy — the person I met six years ago. I can’t seem to get past all the things he did to me before we were married. I cry daily even though it’s been two years since it happened. He does everything for me, but I’m very unappreciative. Should I just call it quits and move on? This is the only way I believe I’ll get over this. What do you think? — Need Answers Dear Need Answers: The best way to stop agonizing over this is to make a decision and stick with it, no matter what. You could choose to stay with him if you truly believe that he has changed. If so, you must forgive him and put the past in the past — for good. The worst type of suffering we inflict on ourselves is living with resentment and anger. By setting him free, you will set yourself free, too. On the other hand, if you cannot truly forgive him, you have to break up with him, as living in an ungrateful and angry state will only cause a further divide in your relationship. You have the power to move on either way. You just have to choose.

ANNIE From Page B4 Dear Annie: My son has been married twice and has a son from each marriage. The sons are 25 years apart. The older one is married and lives in another state. He does not stay in touch with family here as he should, so I decided to do a search online for him. I was shocked! He is listed as a child sex offender! My son’s younger son just turned 5, and I worry because my son keeps saying he wants to visit his oldest so the brothers can bond. I am also
heartbroken, since I helped raise my oldest grandson and he was a very sweet child. Should I tell my son or keep quiet? — Heartbroken Dear Heartbroken: I understand your shock and hurt.

Marriage hanging in the balance Dear Annie: I have been married for more than 30 years, and we have one teenage daughter who will be attending college in the
fall. My husband and I have lived like roommates for the last 10 years. We coexist, raising our daughter as civilly as we can. I have gone to counseling off and on for years, trying to improve our relationship. He has gone a handful of times but is now refusing to go as he thinks there is nothing wrong with our relationship. We have no affection or intimacy toward one another whatsoever. He has been retired for three years and has several joint issues he is dealing with, which limits our activities together. He is very negative and picks at things constantly. I work out of the home and do all the household chores, cook, clean and take care of my

Needless to say, I am frustrated, angry and lonely and not sure, after my daughter leaves, if this marriage will survive. — Barely Hanging In There Dear Barely Hanging In There: You say that he is negative and picks at things constantly. However, I have to give it to you straight: Your letter is pretty negative and is picking at everything he does wrong. It sounds like both of you are playing a part in your frustration, anger and loneliness. Keep talking to a professional marriage therapist. If he refuses to go with you, then go for yourself. Being willing to own your part in your unhappiness will be more freeing than you think. And use that freedom and clarity to decide how you want your marriage and life to look, with or without him.

Dear Annie: Recently, my older sister called me to say that she needed a place to stay. We have had little to no contact before this. She said the home she had been renting was being sold. I have opened my home to many who were not family in the past and struggle with saying no. However, I don’t think she has a plan for obtaining her own place. She is not viewing this as a temporary situation. I am charging her rent, but I value my space and privacy more than the extra income. I am single. My children are adults and living in their own homes. How do I tell my sister that this is a temporary situation and she needs a plan to get her own place? — A Place of One’s Own Dear Place: The best way to address this matter with your sister is to be honest from the beginning. The fact that you are aware that it’s been difficult for you to

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE — WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, 2021
It’s not easy to leave a job — or a city — you love
I
t’s not easy to walk away from something you love. But I am. Sometimes you just know it’s time to start a new chapter in life. I’m leaving my role as sports editor at The Enterprise and moving to Los Angeles. Come fall, I’ll be starting graduate studies at UCLA, pursuing a master of education degree. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for several years now, but continued to put off because of how much I’ve enjoyed covering local athletics at The Enterprise for the better part of the last decade. I’ve learned so much about fitness, health and life itself. I’ve traveled, exercised, laughed, cried and mourned together with members of the Davis sports community. And I’ve felt what it’s like to be a part of something so much bigger than yourself.
I got my start at The Davis Enterprise in an unlikely way. Still in high school, I emailed then-editor Bruce Gallaudet complaining about the lack of Davis High swimming coverage in the paper, offering to write stories myself if The Enterprise “couldn’t handle it.” Bruce’s response was so prompt and polite I remember how surprised I was. Not only did he take me up on my offer, but when I did send in a write-up, he complimented my work and offered me an internship. I’ve been with the paper ever since. And I’ve stayed in this business, because of people like Bruce, who were gracious enough to guide me. I’ve embraced the “student of life” philosophy and had many teachers — most of whom likely had no idea they were even imparting me with knowledge.
But the more I learn, the more I become aware of how much more there still is to learn. I consider my greatest accomplishment over the years to be the student-athletes I’ve helped mold into such incredible young adults through the swimming program at Davis High, along with head coach John Varley. At the same time, those kids have taught me just as much, if not more, than I have them. MAGNETIC CITY … My friends from high school often
ask me why I’ve stuck around Davis — why I chose UC Davis for college and, even after graduating, stayed in town. The answer is simple: I love this place. I think it takes some people a few years. For others, it sometimes takes a few decades. But at some point, people realize how incredible this community truly is. Time and again, people who grew up here, made short stops here during their working careers or went to school at UC Davis slowly find their way back to this town. It has a magnetism — one I can’t quite explain. But then again, I’ve never left.
W
ELCOME MIKE … As I exit my sports role at The Enterprise, I’m excited the paper is bringing on Mike Bush as sports editor.
Mike comes to Davis after almost 10 years at the Lodi News-Sentinel and Marysville’s Appeal-Democrat, where he covered area athletics, including Liberty Ranch, Tokay and Lodi High and was the paper’s senior sports columnist. Before that, Mike worked for The Stockton Record, The Galt Herald and The Amador Ledger, as well as our sister paper, The Mountain Democrat (Placerville), for close to five years. While this goodbye is difficult, it helps to know the paper will have a strong and experienced individual like Mike on board. I wish him the best in this new role and hope the community will embrace him just as they always have me. — Reach outgoing sports editor Owen Yancher at oyancher@ gmail.com.

FC Davis squads combine to outscore opponents, 9-2 By Will Wyman Enterprise staff writer FC Davis had a dominant weekend in both men’s and women’s play, boasting 5-1 and 4-1 score lines, respectively. The men were on the road while the women got it done at home at Playfields Park on Saturday.
Women The inaugural home match for the Lioness squad was a roaring success to the tune of a 4-1 victory over the visiting Pleasanton Rage. The emphatic display came as the first time fans were welcomed back into Davis’ stadium for more than a year ago. Davis High product Tiffany Miras opened the women’s squad scoring after smooth buildup from the Lioness ended in her header on the back post in the

opening stages of the match. Ari Coronado doubled Davis’ advantage soon after, running onto a through ball and putting the ball past the Pleasanton keeper to make it a 2-0 game going into halftime. Autumn Bersch and Tami Kwong added the final pair of goals and the home team finished the night with a three-goal advantage. “Playing in the first-ever home match was so special for me and I know for the team as well,” said local star Gaby Herrera. “Being able to play in my hometown in front of my family, friends and the community is one of the greatest feelings.” Herrera, like Miras, is a Davis High graduate who went on to play Division I soccer and has returned to strengthen FC Davis’ ranks. The Lionesses (2-1 overall) will be on the road again
on Sunday, heading down to the heart of California to play the Fresno Freeze. Davis will be at home the following Wednesday to host the Diablo Valley Wolves at 7 p.m.
Men After a convincing pair of opening matches, the Golden Lions went into Saturday’s game against a strong El Farolito side with a lot of confidence. Davis couldn’t have asked for a better start to the season, with two wins and a plus-six goal difference earning the squad a joint-first position atop the Golden Gate Conference. El Farolito was one of the squads that shared the first-place mantle with Davis, lending great expectations and implications to Saturday’s match in the bay. FC Davis came out strong
and created a number of chances in the opening half, culminating in a finish from Titus Washington to turn the tide of the game going into the break. While the first half was tight, with the lone goal separating the two teams, the second half was the complete opposite. Explosive play from the visitors made the goal appear twice as big and Davis lit up the El Farolito net. Washington was dazzling and, after opening the scoring in the first half, the Sacramento
State standout completed his hat trick in the second frame. Evan Barrett contributed greatly up the right flank all day long, and the exciting matchup finished with a 5-1 scoreline. “I’m proud of the progress since our first preseason game,” said FC Davis center midfielder Caua Soares. “Each match more guys are connecting and things are clicking. We are here to win and now we prepare and shift our focus to Saturday.” The win gives FC Davis breathing room as the sole
occupant of first place in the conference heading into the weekend games with a 3-0 record. The Lions will host their rivals, the Sacramento Gold, in the Causeway Clasico on Saturday at 7 p.m. The match will be the first time the men’s team welcome fans back to Playfields Park this season after playing the first home match of the season behind closed doors. Tickets to both the men’s and women’s games are available on the club’s website footballclubdavis.com.
