The Davis School Board made history was made on Thursday, Nov. 4, when it voted to implement an ethnic-studies program in the curriculum. While the vote marked a milestone for the district and the community, the hard work has only just begun. Ethnic studies is an exploration of the cultures, histories, experiences and contributions of different racial and ethnic groups in the United States. More specifically, African Americans, Chicana/o/x and Latina/ o/x, Native Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. The program also brings light to the struggles these racial and ethnic groups have endured over the years for a broader understanding of American history. “It was a very long planning process including partners from across the community and staff to envision and implement the ethnic studies program. I think it’s validated a community value of insuring that all

Oroville decides to opt out of it all “O roville is constitutional republic — what does that mean?” asked the headline in the north state’s excellent newspaper, The Chico Enterprise-Record. And here I thought the People’s Republic of Davis had a lock on independent thought and passing resolutions other cities wouldn’t dream of. “As a constitutional republic the city of Oroville will not enforce ‘any executive orders issued by the state of California or by the United States federal government that are overreaching or clearly violate our constitutionally protected rights,’ ” the story begins. And why didn’t we think of that first? “The resolution, passed in a 6-1 vote at the Nov. 2 council meeting, was passed to ‘reaffirm to people what type of government we live under,’ said Mayor Chuck Reynolds.” Silly me, I thought maybe Butte County native Aaron Rodgers was the mayor of Oroville. Added Mayor Reynolds, “With all these emergencies and leaders declaring emergencies, it puts one person in charge and they can do pretty much what they want even when the emergency is no longer
an immediate threat, then they are reluctant to five up that power.” I guess the mayor is not interested in all that FEMA money that came pouring into Butte County during several recent emergencies, given that the “F” in FEMA stands for “Federal” and the “E” stands for “Emergency.” The mayor noted that “A mandate is an agreement between two people. If you want me to do something and I agree to it, we have a mandate.” Apparently dictionaries have been banned in Oroville. “Councilor Dave Pittman said there are ‘so many rules’ state and federal governments are attempting to impose that it infringes on both local control and personal rights.” Among Pittman’s complaints are state and federal mandates related
to masks and COVID-19 vaccines. Fear of needles in rampant in the land of the free and the home of the brave. And shame on those state and federal officials for spending state and federal money in a brazen attempt to keep the good citizens of Oroville healthy. Said Pittman, “Mandates eliminate personal right of choice to get vaccinated or not, to have your kids vaccinated or not, and violate basic constitutional choice we all have.” I’m with you, councilor. I oppose those state and federal mandates that say I have to pay taxes on my income. That affects my personal right of choice as well.
B
ut wait, isn’t that massive Oroville Dam and the beautiful lake behind it all part of a multi-million dollar federal project that adds significantly to the local economy? Does the dam have to come down in the name of freedom? I presume the councilor is also against the military draft and compulsory education, not to mention laws against drunk driving and traveling 100 mph down Main Street.
“It’s about local government taking care of its citizens, period, and that’s what we’re doing.” Fair enough. So here’s the deal. The residents of Oroville, given that this was a 6-1 vote on their behalf, have clearly spoken. As such, their wishes must be respected. From this date forward, Orovillians will not have to pay any state or federal income tax, any state sales tax or any DMV registration fees. The city may issue its own driver’s licenses and “Oroville – Let Freedom Ring” personalized license plates. Passports will be needed to move between Oroville and Chico, and Oroville residents will be required to pay out-of-state tuition at all UC and CSU campuses. Oroville will, however, be allowed to have its own Olympic Bobsled team. No state or federal money of any kind will be allowed to sully the coffers of the Independent Republic of Oroville for any reason, especially in times of emergency. Good luck and Godspeed. Let’s hope we can all be good neighbors. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

Briefly Rural crash leaves man dead The California Highway Patrol is investigating a fatal collision that occurred Thursday afternoon west of Woodland. Officers said the victim, who died at the scene, was crossing the roadway on County Road 97 south of Highway 16 in a riding lawnmower and was struck by a motorist who “for an unknown reason ... was unable to slow or stop” prior to impact. The 3:10 p.m. collision caused 59-year-old Genaro Gonzalez of Woodland to be ejected from the lawnmower and suffer fatal injuries, the CHP reported. The motorist, identified only as a 34-yearold Woodland woman, received treatment for minor injuries at the scene and was released pending the investigation. Neither alcohol nor drugs are suspected factors in the crash, according to the CHP.
Suspect held in theft, assault Davis police arrested a man who allegedly punched a woman in the face after rummaging through her car Thursday in downtown Davis. Lt. Mike Munoz said the woman parked outside her business at Fourth and G streets at about 4:30 p.m. to unload some items into the building. When she returned, a man was sitting in her car. Munoz said the woman confronted the man, who had taken property from her glove compartment. He briefly left, then returned “and punched her in the face.” The man then fled the scene but was apprehended nearby when officers arrived on scene. Teddy Dwayne Keen, 42, of Sacramento, was booked into the Yolo County Jail on battery and petty theft charges. Munoz said the woman sustained minor injuries but did not require medical attention.
Car stop leads to arrest A routine vehicle stop led to the arrest of a Davis man after officers allegedly found him with a prohibited firearm and stolen property. James MahoneyThurman, 30, came to officers’ attention at about 4:30 a.m. Wednesday for an alleged traffic violation while driving in the area of Richards Boulevard and Research Park Drive. “Observations during the stop led to the discovery of a pump shotgun with a pistol grip and ammunition,” which Mahoney-Thurman’s ex-felon status prohibited him from having, Lt. Mike Munoz said. The gun also had no serial number. “A thorough vehicle search yielded suspected stolen credit cards, suspected stolen catalytic converters, controlled substances and drug paraphernalia,” Munoz added. Police lodged Mahoney-Thurman at the Yolo County Jail on charges including being a felon in possession of a firearm, receiving stolen property and drug possession. Munoz said the origins of the allegedly stole property remain under investigation.

ETHNIC: Implementation will take work From Page A1 students, regardless of where they come from, that their cultural identity is reflected in the school curriculum,” said associate superintendent, Rody Boonchouy. “It also aligns with the ‘We All Belong’ resolution from four or five years ago that states that we as a community value the diversity of all members of the community regardless of race, ability and gender and affirms the value of inclusiveness in our community.” Implementation of the ethnic studies program, however, will have its fair share of obstacles. Technical challenges include identifying how an ethnic studies course will be implemented into the master schedule as well as preparing the staffing to teach it and revising graduation requirements to reflect the course.
Other challenges include creating a broad understanding of what the ethnic studies program is, and what it isn’t. “There are misunderstandings that ethnic studies is radically divisive, anti-white or unamerican. That stems from misinterpretations and lack of understanding of the intent and purpose of ethnic studies,” Boonchouy said. “It’s actually about elevating the experience and contributions of underrepresented communities for a more accurate story of all Americans in this country.” Implementation will be a slow process. A four-year plan has been rolled out which will introduce a formal ethnic studies class for the 2023-24 school year, while also adding ethnic studies as a graduation requirement starting with the class of 2029. According to Boonchouy, a committee will convene in the
spring to build a curricular structure that will support the launch of the ethBOONCHOUY nic-studies Associate program. superintendent The district also plans on building the California State Seal of Civic Engagement into the program. With 71 DJUSD students earning the seal last year, it demonstrates students’ excellence in civic education and participation as well as an understanding of the U.S. constitution, California constitution and democratic system of government. Having this seal will also bolster students’ civic engagement and interest in communal service. “The experience has been positive,” said Davis Ethnic Studies Coalition member
Melissa Moreno. “The Davis Ethnic Studies Coalition has been building relationships across the four core groups of ethnic studies as well as European American and Jewish Americans. It’s been really beautiful to notice the effort across members of different ethnic groups across the community. I’m proud of our community because we’ve gotten through some difficult conversations to get to this point, and this point is just the beginning.”

Obituaries Norman Frank Piner July 1, 1927 — Oct. 28, 2021
Norman Frank Piner passed away gently and peacefully in the arms and presence of his beloved family on the afternoon of Oct. 28, 2021. Born “almost a firecracker” on July 1, 1927, to Frank Anthony Piner and Rowena Windeler Piner he and his younger brother Bruce grew up in Calistoga. Norm loved telling stories of his childhood, from memories of pets to tales of hunting, fishing, playing basketball, baseball or trumpet. He and his brother attended their father’s alma mater, St.
Mary’s College, in Moraga. Although his time there was interrupted by a twoyear stint in the Navy, he graduated in 1951 with a business degree. Those Navy years became another trove for his storytelling, from San Diego basic training to his eventual rank as storekeeper 3rd class in Astoria, Ore. He never went to sea nor saw live action but was proud to play taps on his horn for fellow sailors who paid the ultimate price. In the fall of 1951 Norm married Loadel Harter, a Mills College graduate he had met on a blind date
Norm and Loadel raised their three children around orchards, irrigation ditches and miles of smooth concrete at the cannery, perfect for rollerskating. Loadel, Kelleen Piner (Robert Blanco), Matthew Piner (Margaret Piner), Steven
A Presbyterian, Mason and honored by Rotary as a Paul Harris fellow, he was committed to his community and enjoyed a large circle of friends. He was a golfer, tennis player and avid sports fan. Norm was generous to a fault and would literally give the shirt off his back or the shoes from his feet. He was also a lifelong lover of all kinds of jazz,
especially horn. In his later years when he and Loadel moved to Davis to be closer to family, he was never happier than when he had a cat on his lap, an Oreo in his hand and a grandchild listening to his wonderful stories. The family wishes to thank Ramon and the staff at Bridgeway Care Home for their exemplary care of Norman in his final weeks. Services will begin at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 17, at St. Andrew Presbyterian Church in Yuba City. Memorial remembrances can be directed to the St. Andrew Legacy Fund, the Sutter County Museum or the charity of your choice.
Wendell Phillip Jacob July 17, 1929 — Sept. 29, 2021
DAVIS, Calif. — “Davis has gone dark” would be the headline that was, in an mirthful way, envisioned by Wendell P. Jacob for this occasion. Born in Woodland and raised in Davis, Wendell Jacob passed away peacefully Sept. 29 at the age of 92 at his family home in College Park surrounded by his daughter, daughter in-law, son and his fiancé. A gifted storyteller with a wealth of knowledge, he related tales of shenanigans at Davis High School, and early jobs and as a 35mm projectionist at Davis’ first Varsity Theatre, where his love of the movies was born. Following his service in the United States Air Force and electronic engineering at RCA, he was a wellrespected business owner for the last 45 years. He was known by many as the “Music Man” as he saved, restored and installed in his home the Moller lobby organ from the Fox Theatre, San Francisco. “Our father went to be with his maker. As the
heavens make way for a new soul, may he be welcomed with JACOB comfort and the angels’ ensemble,” said his son, Phillip Jacob. Wendell Jacob was preceded in death by his parents who were among College Park’s first residents in 1929. He is survived by his partner, Patricia Fitzgerald; daughter Cynthia Jacob; son Phillip Jacob; five grandchildren; and a great-grandchild. Services will begin at 1 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 14, at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery in Dixon. In lieu of flowers, contributions to St. Joseph’s Indian School at www.stjo.org are welcomed.

RATE: Schools will continue testing From Page A1 Healthy Davis Together has declined over the last two weeks as well. Yolo County on Friday reported a test positivity rate of 0.8 percent while HDT reported a test positivity rate of 0.6 percent for the week ending Nov. 6. ———— Booster shots are now available to all Californians over the age of 18 as long as they are at least two months past their initial Johnson & Johnson dose or six months past their second Pfizer or Moderna shot. In a letter to healthcare providers dated Nov. 9, the state’s public health officer, Dr. Tomas Aragon, directed that no one should be turned away from receiving a booster if they meet those criteria. Federal guidelines limited boosters to any adults who received a Johnson & Johnson shot as well as those who received Pfizer or Moderna, are at least 65 years old or are at risk due to underlying medical conditions or workplace exposure. State officials, fearing a rise in breakthrough cases among the vaccinated, have now essentially expanded that booster criteria to all adults. “The patient’s assessment of risk exposure may include, but is not limited to, those who work with the public or live with someone who works with the public, live or work with someone at high risk of severe impact of COVID, live in geographic areas that have been heavily impacted by COVID, reside in high transmission areas, live in a congregate setting, experience social inequity, or other risk conditions as assessed by the individual,” Aragon said. He also advised providers to “not miss any opportunity to vaccinate the unvaccinated or provide boosters by offering vaccine during routine or non-routine visits to medical offices, clinics, pharmacies and hospitals.” The move comes amid lagging numbers of Californians over 65 receiving recommended boosters as well as a plateau in new cases. “While we were spared the worst in the summer, the prospects of a challenging winter are upon us,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said this week. “And that’s why we’re doing everything in our power to prepare and to protect ourselves.” With Thanksgiving and
publicity officer Alexis Tornero said in a press release. “This year’s theme is intended to inspire hope among our community,” Portier added. The Picnic Day board said additional details, such as the announcement of the Parade Marshal, will be revealed at a later date. “I am excited to bring Picnic Day back in person this year,” said Picnic Day

the winter holidays approaching, the state’s secretary of health and human services, Dr. Mark Ghaly, said, “if you think you will benefit from getting a booster shot, I encourage you to go out and get it. “Get that added protection for the Thanksgiving gatherings that you many attend. Certainly going into the other winter holidays, it is important.” Even without boosters, vaccinated Californians with breakthrough infections are far less likely to end up hospitalized with COVID-19 or to die from the virus. According to state data, unvaccinated individuals are 9.8 times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19 than unvaccinated individuals and 16.9 times more likely to die. However, vaccinated individuals who contract the virus can still pass it on to others, including those who are unvaccinated or at risk for severe disease. “Real world evidence continues to show that the vaccine is preventing severe illness, hospitalization and death,” according to an update from the state on Thursday. Vaccination appointments can be made at myturn.ca.gov or by calling 1-833-422-4255. Vaccines are now available to all Californians ages 5 and up. ———— On-campus COVID-19 testing at Davis Joint Unified School District sites will likely continue through the end of the school year, according to interim superintendent Matt Best. Currently, Best said, the school district is doing about 6,000 tests per week and numbers were expected to increase this week as disaster service workers from the county arrived to help with testing at Harper and Holmes junior high schools, two campuses with lower test rates. During the week of Oct. 25-29, for example, just 26
percent of Holmes students and staff tested and 35 percent of Harper students and staff. The district’s other junior high campus — Emerson/ Da Vinci — is already providing a full day of testing every Wednesday, with students participating before and during school hours. There, 65 percent of students and staff tested during the week of Oct. 25-29. “We’re seeing testing rates rise very rapidly at that site and we’re hoping to do the same thing at Harper and Holmes,” Best told a joint meeting of city and school district officials on Wednesday. Elementary schools in Davis have already been seeing high rates of testing, including 97 percent of students and staff at Korematsu Elementary School and 96 percent at Cesar Chavez Elementary School during the last week of October. North Davis, Patwin and Pioneer elementary schools also reported at least 90 percent of students and staff testing that week. Birch Lane and Willett elementary schools reported 87 to 88 percent testing and Montgomery Elementary School 74 percent. The district’s high schools continue to lag, with fewer than 5 percent of students and staff testing weekly during October at Davis High School, according to school district data, and about a third of students and staff at Da Vinci High School. Meanwhile, the school board has designated a portion of the school district’s American Rescue Plan funds to continue oncampus testing through the end of the school year. “We are working out the logistics with Healthy Davis Together about how to do that,” Best said. “We definitely are seeing the benefit,” he added. “We’re catching cases from many asymptomatic people

and able to react quickly to those and bring a sense of calm to parents, especially those who have unvaccinated students, because we’re really doing all we can do and that’s a stark contrast to the other districts in our county. And we see the results.” Thus far during the month of November, the school district has reported seven positive cases among students and two among staff members. Since Aug. 1, 138 DJUSD students have tested positive, according to the district, and 24 staff members. On Thursday, there were 12 positive cases among students and four among staff, all resulting in isolation. Staff cases were at the Korematsu Early Learning Center, Birch Lane and Korematsu elementary schools and Davis High School. A total of 32 students and three staff members were in quarantine, including 12 Davis High students and 11 Patwin Elementary School students. Three staff members were in quarantine following exposure — at North Davis and Patwin elementary schools and Emerson/Da Vinci junior high schools. Quarantine is required for unvaccinated individuals only. Modified quarantine is available for unvaccinated students who were masked at the time of exposure provided the infected individual was also masked. Students on modified quarantine are allowed to attend school in person but not engage in any extracurricular activities. Additionally, students in modified quarantine should not attend a vaccine clinic until the quarantine is over. — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@ davisenterprise.net.

Those who test positive have been notified, generally within 24 to 48 hours, enabling them to isolate and prevent further spread of the virus. That effort has been credited with helping to keep the city’s COVID-19 case rate throughout the pandemic well below the rest of the county, including during the Delta variant surge. Currently there are three HDT community testing sites — the Veterans Memorial Center, at Research Park in South Davis, and at the UC Davis ARC. To date, the city has incurred no direct costs for HDT testing other than in-kind staff time and use of city-owned facilities. UC Davis and private philanthropy have covered all other costs. But continuing community testing beyond the end of 2021 will require the city to kick in some money and an item on the consent calendar for Tuesday’s City Council meeting would do exactly that. The $750,000 ARP allocation would help cover the costs of a scaleddown testing program through the first half of 2022. Specifically, Healthy Davis Together is requesting that the city contribute $10 for each test processed at the UC Davis Genome Center as well as funding to cover staffing costs at testing sites. The program being proposed would expand or contract based on testing demand, with a higher capacity for testing available in January after the holidays (roughly
15,000 tests) and fewer tests in February and March (around 10,000 tests). Testing would further scale down heading into June. The Davis Joint Unified School District plans to use its own ARP funds to continue HDT testing on school campuses, while the city’s funds would be used for community testing. All told, the city is receiving $19.7 million in American Rescue Plan funds and continues to solicit community input on how best to use it. City staff is recommending allocating the $750,000 for HDT testing now so as not to incur any delay in testing heading into 2022. Also on Tuesday, the council will receive an update on the Russell Boulevard Corridor Study, including a presentation on design concepts and community input received to date. Tuesday’s meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. and will be conducted remotely.

Winged warning: Drought hits migrating birds hard By Julie Cart CalMatters It says something about the complexity of California’s water crisis that there are so many actors in the state’s water wars, all clamoring for more. Nature, alone, is silent in this fight, relying on others to speak on behalf of the welfare of wildlife and waterways. Across the state, biologists, farmers and hunters are lending nature a helping hand. It’s sometimes an extreme intervention: trucking young salmon when drought shrinks rivers. But this year these lifelines aren’t enough. Migratory birds — protected by state and national laws and an international treaty — are suffering mightily during this drought, even more quickly than they did during the last major dry spell, which lasted five years and ended in early 2017. California is the most critical link in the 4,000-mile-long Pacific Flyway, a route along the West Coast where millions of birds shuttle between their summer and winter homes. It’s an arduous journey, hopscotching from wetlands and waterways,

Migratory birds are arriving at the refuge hungry and exhausted since wetlands farther north, in the Klamath region, are dried up. allowing birds to rest and refuel, shoring up strength for their trip. Wildlife experts say this year’s severe drought has uncoupled that connectivity. Normal routes — long imprinted in migrating birds’ navigation systems — have gone haywire. The great dryness has eliminated many of the flyway’s rest stops in California — particularly in the far north Klamath region — forcing ducks, geese, eagles, herons and other traveling birds to stay aloft and keep looking. Biologists in Northern California and
Oregon say they are tracking flocks deviating far off established flight paths, seeking water where there is little. Experts say evidence is already emerging a year into this drought that their labored journey is weakening and stressing birds that struggle to find wetlands along their journey to rest and feed. This year is the driest on record in the Lower Klamath Basin, a lush region of marshes and streams that straddles the OregonCalifornia border. The refuges there are “almost
completely dry,” said U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service spokeswoman Susan Sawyer. As a result, nearly all of the ducks have vanished. A recent aerial survey of the vast refuge showed about 34,000 ducks this year compared to 1.5 million in 1948; nearby Tule Lake refuge had only about 30,000 ducks in the survey, down from 3.5 million. In the span of a few human generations, even in years of plentiful rain, 90% of California’s wetlands have disappeared to development and agriculture, so migrating birds are espe-
cially vulnerable to prolonged droughts. “The journey, from the human perspective, is enormous,” said Andrew Farnsworth, who researches bird migration at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. “It requires a lot of energy. Some start in Alaska. Flights of 4,000 miles are absolutely quite common, and they will fly nonstop for a few days. Having the resources they need is critically important.” Melanie Weaver, waterfowl coordinator for the state Department of Fish and Wildlife, has confidence in the ability of

Celebrate America Recycles Day on Monday By Jennifer Gilbert Special to The Enterprise Tomorrow, Monday, Nov. 15, is America Recycles Day! Collectively, all the residents and businesses in Davis recycled and composted 67 percent of our waste last year, sending less material to the local landfill. Great job, Davis! Do you ever wonder what you personally could do to slow climate change? Sorting out your recycling and organic waste is a major way that you, your household and the larger community can help to slow climate change. Landfills are the third largest source of methane emissions in California. When buried in landfills, organic waste (including recyclables like paper, cardboard, as well as food scraps, foodsoiled paper products, yard trimmings, and other organic-based wastes) emit 20 percent of the state’s methane (a climate super pollutant 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide) and air pollutants like PM 2.5 (which contributes to health conditions like asthma). Organics wastes make up half of what Californians send to landfills. Items placed in the trash are sent directly to the landfill and are not sorted out — that’s why it’s so important to sort everything into the correct bin. Reducing the amount of organic waste in landfills has a direct impact on the climate crisis and can create healthier air for all of us to breathe. In Davis, most of our waste can be placed in either the recycling or organics carts. Help us continue to keep material out of the landfill by taking a careful look at what you are throwing away to see if it can be recycled or composted instead! ■ Paper: Newspapers, magazines, catalogs, junk mail, phone books, office paper, cereal boxes and shredded paper. ■ Plastics, metals and glass: Steel cans, aluminum

cans, clean aluminum foil, aluminum pie plates, rigid plastics (including plastics #1-#7), metal and plastic caps and lids, plastic milk jugs, and glass food and beverage containers. Please rinse out your containers prior to placing them in your recycling cart (this helps the material and your cart stay clean). ■ Organics: Fruits and vegetables, breads, rice, pasta, meat, bones, cheese, paper towels, paper takeout food packaging, facial tissues (yes, even after they have been used), greasy pizza boxes, refrigerated paper cartons, and more. ■ Cardboard: Remove all packing materials (such as packing paper, plastic air pillows, foam and packing peanuts), flatten the cardboard boxes, and stack them flat on the ground
next to your recycling cart, and Recology Davis will pick them up on your collection day.
What still goes in the trash? ■ Diapers and other personal sanitary products ■ Broken dishes and glassware ■ Polystyrene foam (a.k.a.”Styrofoam”) ■ Plastic wrappers, plastic film and plastic bags ■ Pet waste ■ Pre-moistened disposable wipes ■ Disposable gloves ■ Single-use (disposable) face masks
Common recycling questions: ■ Do I need to keep
paper separated from other recyclables? Yes! When the recycling truck empties recycling carts, the paper goes into one compartment of the truck, and the plastics, metals and glass go into a
separate compartment. ■ What do I do with paper cartons of juice, milk, soy milk or broth? This can be tricky as there are two different kinds of cartons that are made from different materials. Cartons that are shelfstable and do not require refrigeration before opening are not recyclable locally and should go in the trash. Non-shelf-stable cartons that must be refrigerated before opening can be placed in the brown-lidded organics cart for composting. If it has a removable plastic cap, take that off and place it in the recycling cart (don’t worry about the plastic spout, it will be screened out of the finished compost). ■ Are our recyclables, particularly plastics, still actually being recycled? Yes! Recology prioritizes domestic markets
whenever possible. In 2020, about 50 percent of the recyclables sold companywide went to domestic buyers. Typically, the glass, aluminum, plastic #1 and plastic #2 collected in Davis is sold to buyers on the West Coast. Davis’s cardboard and mixed paper is sold to buyers in Southeast Asia. Recology does not export low-grade plastic materials overseas. Keep up the great work recycling, Davis!

BIRDS: State paying farmers to flood their fields From Page A6 even the most resilient wildlife. “I’m concerned that we are not going to see the populations come back,” Weaver said. “This drought is bad. The odds are against us.” Even recent winter storms — which dumped rain across the north and central parts of the state and swelled some rivers and streams — made no dent to ease California’s drought, wetlands loss or water shortage.
Resilient but still struggling Resting and feeding spots at wildlife refuges are overcrowded this year, which can foster spikes in the infectious or water-borne illnesses spread by close quarters. Avian botulism and cholera, present even in wet years, spike in arid times. A botulism outbreak in the lower Klamath Basin last year killed an estimated 60,000 birds, likely many more. So far the Klamath refuges have not experienced a severe disease outbreak like the one that took place last year. “But the spring could be a different story if birds leave the Central Valley early and return to the Klamath where there is little to no available habitat,” Sawyer said. Klamath’s marshes, streams and grasslands provide vital stops during birds’ long journeys — more than 80% of migratory birds on the Pacific Flyway use them as a stopover in spring and fall. But the region has been one of the hardest hit in this year’s statewide drought. Instances of young birds being “stranded” are amplified during drought. Dabbling ducks, which includes mallards and pintails, nest in upland areas and must walk to water sources. During dry periods those marches can be too long for young birds that have no flight feathers so they can’t survive. Biologists say this happens all over the state, even in normal years, but is more common during drought. While the Klamath region is the hardest hit, wetlands farther south on the flyway are in bad shape, too. At the Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge, the October bird count is not encouraging. By the third week in October last year, the rough

And, to illustrate how the intensity of this drought is coming sooner than the last: The refuge’s geese population today is less than half than it was for the same month in 2015, which was the region’s worst year during the last drought. Biologists talk about the resilience of birds, hard-wired to just keep pushing on, but there is little good news now and even less for the near future. The National Audubon Society estimates that two-thirds of North American birds are at increasing risk of extinction because of climate change. That vulnerability is repeated around the world: Only 9% of the planet’s migratory birds have protected areas along their routes, and loss of habitat and climate change is “a contributing factor to the decline of more than half of the migratory bird species across all major flyways in the last 30 years.” Migrating birds, which a century ago filled the sky and blotted out the sun during trips along California’s long spine, need help. To make the state more hospitable to migrating birds during the drought, state and federal programs are paying farmers to keep water on their fields. The state Department of Water
Resources invested $8 million this fall. In the northern end of the Central Valley, agricultural land is flooded and managed as migratory bird habitat for exhausted annual travelers flapping in from as far away as Alaska and Russia. But the amount of water from rivers and lakes allocated for wildlife refuges has been cut back substantially this year. The Lower Klamath Refuge has been operating with half its water allocations from rivers and streams since 2006, but this year has been devastating: It received less than 1% of its allocations. With the loss of more than 99% of its wetlands, few chicks were born in the refuge this year. Most birds didn’t bother stopping there to nest, moving instead to refuges the Sacramento area, which received 75% of their usual water allocation. “This past summer there was extremely reduced waterfowl reproduction on the (Klamath) refuge due to the very limited available habitat,” Sawyer said.
Fields flooded for birds In normal years, when water is plentiful and affordable, some 270,000 acres of winter rice fields in the Sacramento Valley
are lightly flooded and available to receive wintering shorebirds, such as white faced ibis, great blue herons and many varieties of geese and ducks. The Central Valley, with its usual bounty of food and space, supports 30% of the shorebirds and 60% of the ducks and geese in the entire Pacific Flyway, nearly 3 million ducks, 1 million geese and a half-million shorebirds overwintering annually. Given the severe drought conditions and paucity of available water, there is substantially less habitat for those flocks this year. Luke Matthews, a biologist with the California Rice Commission, said his group estimates there are only 60,000 acres of flooded rice land this year. Adding the acreage supported by various state and private conservation programs brings the total agricultural winter habitat to just over 100,000 acres, Matthews said. Still, from the perspective of hungry, exhausted migratory birds, the Sacramento Valley must appear from the air like a spa retreat featuring an all-youcan-eat buffet. Once settled, the birds will derive 50% of their diet from rice left on the ground after the fall harvest. As much as 300 pounds of rice per acre is available to birds after the crop is harvested. Agricultural lands have proved
critical for filling in the gaps from California’s wetlands loss. Dense, clay soil is nearly impermeable – a shallow vessel of water ideal for growing rice and hosting birds. Since air pollution concerns almost ended the practice of burning off rice straw after harvest, flooding harvested fields benefit both farmer and bird: While feeding in the fields, tiny bird feet and stomping geese churn and aerate soils, helping rice straw decompose, preparing the land for the next season’s crop. A disparate collection of agencies and private groups is funding “pop-up wetlands.”Farmers are increasingly raising their hands to host wetlands, seeing a dual benefit: For rice farmers, winter flooding makes financial sense but also appeals to those with a conservation mindset. “We grow two crops: We grow rice and we grow birds,” said Nicole Montna Van Vleck, president of Montna Farms in Yuba City. Flooded fields on Montna Van Vleck’s sprawling 5,000-acre farm look like shallow kiddie pools. Some paddocks are dark with thousands of resting birds, with white molting-season feathers collected around the edges like a bathtub ring. “Every season for me is aweinspiring,” she said, surveying the flat expanse of water and birds. “You can almost imagine what it was like when this was a natural floodplain, when you get out here and see these ricelands work. We’ve created this ecosystem for them. There’s plenty of food for them. I never get tired of it.” The severity of the last drought drove once-bickering sides into collaborative problem-solving. The drought was a “stark and shocking wakeup call,” prompting bird groups, farmers, duck hunting clubs and state and federal wildlife managers to begin conversations, said Meghan Hertel, Audubon California’s director of land and water conservation. More than half of the wetlands in the Sacramento Valley are privately owned, operated by duck clubs established for bird hunting. Land managers regularly called each other to track birds on the move, Hertel said. “They’d say, ‘Hey I’ve got 100,000 snow geese coming your way, hold on to your water.”

Enterprise staff UC Davis announced Friday the results of its investigation into alleged misconduct in the Aggie baseball program. As part of the fallout, the university announced the resignation of head coach Matt Vaughn. The probe involved interviews with eight university employees and 13 current or former players and led to a report that found evidence of an annual initiations in which new players were hazed via a series of challenges involving dangerously excessive drinking and other inappropriate activities, as well as a team culture of alcohol use and pressure to use alcohol. The last reported initiation activities occurred during the 2019-20 academic year. As such, the majority of the current team did not participate in them. “It’s been a difficult time for the program, but we will work through it in a caring manner,” athletic director Rocko DeLuca said in a Zoom conference call after the report was released. “We look forward to playing baseball in
the spring. We will have a spring baseball season, but there will be a reduction in nonconference games.” The report concluded that Vaughn failed to take appropriate steps to address a concerns brought to his attention about possible hazing in 2018. Vaughn has resigned effective Friday. The current assistant coaching staff will remain in place on an interim basis, and the athletics department will be launching a national search for a new head baseball coach. “I have met with Coach Vaughn and accepted his resignation,” DeLuca said. The university suspended its baseball program in July following allegations of hazing, and put the coaching staff on administrative leave. “I want to thank the investigators for their focused approach and the witnesses for their cooperation, even while under heightened media scrutiny,” UC Davis Chancellor Gary May said. “As I have often stated, the health and
wellbeing of our students is our top priority. When allegations of misconduct of any kind are reported, we won’t hesitate to take appropriate action to determine the facts. Let me reiterate, as I stated during the summer, that UC Davis has zero tolerance for hazing.” As a consequence of the findings of the investigation, Intercollegiate Athletics will take the following actions with the baseball team: n Unsupervised team activities on and off-campus are prohibited for the remainder of the 2021-22 baseball season. n A sport administrator will travel with the baseball team for the remainder of the season. n There will be a reduction in the non-conference baseball game schedule for the 2021-22 season. “Creating a welcoming and healthy environment for all of our students requires that we provide a safe space for them to come forward and speak confidentially about their concerns,” athletic director DeLuca added in the
university’s press release. “We are deeply saddened that students who have been a part of the baseball team experienced events that negatively impacted their health and wellbeing. We appreciate those who reported their concerns as well as those who participated in the investigation. Their actions will help the baseball team create a healthy, supportive culture.” To ensure and enhance the current student athlete education program and resources, ICA will be doing the following: n Implement a new training series for all student-athletes to build awareness around risky social behaviors and health and wellbeing resources. n Partner with a third-party reporting group, RealResponse to provide an anonymous reporting tool for student-athletes to seek help or share concerns. In addition, in a continuing effort to build awareness about hazing and its impacts, the university is in the process of developing an anti-hazing campaign for all students.
Aggies overpower Eagles Coach Jim Les gets 300th win By Bob Dunning Enterprsie staff writer This one was over early. Christian Anigwe tossed in 19 points and pulled down 12 rebounds as UC Davis roared out to a 21-point first-half lead and never trailed in taking an 84-76 nonconference men’s basketball win from Eastern Washington on Friday afternoon in the season home opener at the University Credit Union Center. The Aggies, who opened the season with an impressive 72-69 win Tuesday night at Utah State, are now 2-0 in the young season while EWU drops to 0-2, including a Tuesday night loss at Nevada. Anigwe, a 6-9 junior, added three blocks and two steals to his day’s work as the Aggies dominated EWU, which won the Big Sky Conference title last year and threw a scare into Kansas in the
NCAA tournament. Aggie coach Jim Les, who picked up his 300th victory between coaching stints at Bradley and UC Davis, was high in his praise of Anigwe. “I challenged him before the game that we need him to be a double-double guy for us,” Les said. “He has such great versatility, and when he plays like that it gives everyone a little more confidence.” Noted Anigwe, “Our goal tonight was to pound it inside, and when that worked, it opened stuff up on the outside, too. I expect myself to get a double-double, but all the credit for that goes to my teammates for setting me up. “This is a great way for us to start the season. There is so much talent on this team and our ceiling is limitless. We expect to play well every time.” Anigwe had the first point of the game with a single free throw in the opening minute and added a field goal as UCD opened a 6-2 lead and never looked back. Elijah Pepper went on a 7-0 run
all by himself to push the count to 18-5, and before the half was over UCD led, 35-14, and was never in danger the rest of the way. “I loved our start,” Les added. “Our attention to detail and our aggressiveness on defense was impressive. We set the tone right at the beginning. The challenge, of course, is to maintain that edge from starters to bench and back to starters.” Les allowed that it had been a hard week physically after a tough battle at Utah State and an earlymorning flight the next day so his athletes could become students once again on Wednesday. “We were happy for Veterans Day,” Les said with a smile. “We certainly appreciate our veterans and we loved getting the day off so our guys could get some rest.” The season is young, but at this point, Les is more than satisfied with both the effort and the results. “I really like this group,” he said. “They’re allowing us to coach them and they’re practicing well and performing well in games.

UCD’s ‘Wonder Dog’ will finally have his day By Owen Yancher Enterprise correspondent There’s no question about it. When it comes to UC Davis football, he’s the fan favorite. Now in his ninth season with the Aggies, Pint the “Wonder Dog” has captured the hearts of thousands who have filled the stands at UC Davis Health Stadium. The 10-year old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever turnedkickoff specialist still gets the loudest cheers each time he sprints across the turf at Jim Sochor Field to fetch the Aggie kicking tee. And he’s been one busy boy over the last several seasons, with the Aggies’ high-octane offense posting some of the highest numbers in the Big Sky Conference. “Having Pint at our home games was something that I was looking forward to before I even set foot on campus,” said UC Davis long snapper John Aloma, who’s been handed tees from Pint since he first laced up for the Aggies. “Being able to give him belly rubs and pets before games will always be a highlight of my time here. He’s a very good boy and we’ve been very fortunate to have him on our sideline all these years.” Sporting his signature “K9” jersey, with his golden fur, wagging tail and happy grin, Pint brings the house down week after week. He’s been featured on local TV segments such as ESPN, and on countless social media posts. An ambassador for UC Davis’ nationally top-ranked School of Veterinary Medicine, Pint has appeared in multiple promotional videos and publications over the years for the university.

Pritchard Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital after ingesting a poisonous substance. “The hospital was able to save her life,” Bannasch remembers. “And I was incredibly grateful for that. “She used to do some campaigns and ad work for the school as well and I said if they ever needed anything else I’ll be happy to do it because of that experience and the
a conversation between thenassistant athletic director Scott Brayton and his next-door neighbor, who happened to be the medical director for the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Bannasch recalls receiving an email. “(It) went to everyone in the Vet School, asking ‘Does anyone have a dog that could do this?’” What was supposed to be a onetime experiment turned into a national phenomenon as Pint’s revered game-day duties inspired a handful of athletic programs across the nation to employ pups of their own as crowd-pleasing tee-retrievers. At the time, in 2013, Pint was just a bit over a year old. But Bannasch says there was no way Aggie football fans were letting the young pup off the hook after watching him in action that first season.
Staying cool as a cucumber despite the lively stadium atmosphere, Pint was an instant hit. “He’s so focused and task-oriented,” Bannasch explains. “So he’s always ignored all of that. It’s pretty astonishing.” Named after a pint of beer, he’s also enjoyed meeting fans each season at the Ags’ annual Brewfest — an event held at UC Davis Health Stadium celebrating the school’s No. 1 academic brewing program in North America.
End of an era As the Aggies’ football campaign draws to a close, so too shall Pint’s career with the program. He will be honored during a retirement ceremony at the Eastern Washington football game on Saturday. “The specialists have always considered Pint to be an integral part of our team,” Aloma said. “He never fails to get the fans on their feet whenever he goes out to retrieve the kickoff tee, and that’s something we always
look forward to. Nobody can get a crowd going quite like Pint the Wonder Dog.” With nearly a decade under his belt (paws?) patrolling the Aggie sidelines, Pint has taken two full sets of kickers from their freshman to senior years, interacting with hundreds of players along the way. Sporting a near-flawless teefetching record, he’s only missed out on his signature pickup once. “There was one time that one of the kickers accidentally leaned down and picked up the tee instead of letting Pint get it,” Bannasch recalls. “And the fans took care of that.” Boos echoed throughout the stadium. Needless to say, the mistake hasn’t been made since. Pint will be back on duty as UC Davis hosts the Causeway Classic when Sacramento State visits town for a 1 p.m. kickoff on Saturday, Nov. 20. But he won’t be the only four-legged friend participating as a UC Davis Picnic Day favorite comes to Aggie football for the first time at halftime with the running of the Doxie Derby. Dozens of dachshunds will race to determine the fastest canine on the turf. Set to retire at season’s end, Pint has hinted at the possibility of training a successor. But his current focus remains on getting the Aggies back to the FCS postseason. — Owen Yancher is the former sports editor at the Enterprise. Follow him on Twitter: @dhspunter.

Commentary Is high unemployment too low? Nuclear power E needs rescuing from culture wars By Llewellyn King Special to The Enterprise
I
f the Biden administration genuinely wanted to get serious about weaning the electric power sector from fossil fuels, it would get serious about nuclear — not just patting it on the head, as it is doing with the government equivalent of “There, there, baby.” Nuclear was an early victim of the culture wars which started in the late 1960s, and it remains so to this day. It is incredible that a source of power, a cutting-edge technology, should have been sidelined for more than 50 years because of fear, suspicion, ignorance and politics. In the late 1960s, nuclear power became the target of an environmental and political left lash-up. It became part of the environmentalist catechism that nuclear was an evil source of power and must be expunged from the national list of options. The political left didn’t so much as embrace environmentalism as environmentalism embraced the left. Some environmentalists have had an epiphany, like the Union of Concerned Scientists, which was founded by Henry Kendall, an activist whom I knew well. We were friends who didn’t agree about nuclear. Now the Union of Concerned Scientists is pronuclear, but it was at the barricades against nuclear for decades. It isn’t that the environmental movement doesn’t want to do the right thing. It does. But it has thought that it alone should decide what was right and good for the environment, and often it has been totally wrong. The environmental movement turned the nation from nuclear to coal. In the 197os and 1980s, environmental groups advocated for fluidized bed combustion coal plants. I remember them saying that coal eliminated the need for “dangerous nuclear.” I sat through innumerable meetings and had sparing friendships with anti-nuclear activists like Ralph Nader and Amory Lovins. All presidents have said they favor nuclear power, even Jimmy Carter, who was the most reluctant and did huge damage to the United States’ position as the world leader in nuclear energy and technology. Carter wouldn’t say he was opposed to nuclear, but he did talk about it as a last resort and stopped the plans to build a fast breeder reactor. He also ended nuclear reprocessing, necessitating the disposal of whole nuclear cores, instead of capturing the mass of unburned fuel — thus creating a much larger waste disposal challenge, as well as the need to mine more uranium.
ach month, federal and state officials release employment data for the preceding month, basically telling us how many Californians are employed and how many aren’t. The latest such release revealed that in September, just over 19 million Californians were in the labor force, 17.6 million were employed and 1.4 million were jobless for an unemployment rate of 7.5%. It was not a pretty picture, despite efforts by Gov. Gavin Newsom to put a positive spin on the numbers. California’s unemployment rate was tied for the highest in the nation, about 50% higher than the national rate and nearly eight times as high as Nebraska’s lowest-in-thenation 2%. California lost more than two million jobs during the recession spawned by COVID-19 shutdown orders and remains a laggard among the states in returning to prepandemic levels of employment. While a 7.5% unemployment rate is dismal, it may also understate the true nature of the job situation in California. How so? For one thing, it doesn’t
count the half-million or so Californians who have left the labor force over the past 20 months. They are unemployed but aren’t counted as such. The Bureau of Labor Statistics actually calculates employment, unemployment and underemployment six different ways, and the number most commonly cited, known as U-3, is the simplest, just the percentage of the labor force currently not working. It assumes that those working even the most menial, even part-time, jobs — as little as one hour each week — are employed. The most nuanced calculation, called U-6, adjusts for underemployment by counting unemployed workers, part-time workers who want to work full time and some who are ambivalent about working. California’s current U-6 rate, calculated for the past year, is 14% and is the
nation’s third highest behind Nevada’s 15.6% and Hawaii’s 14.8%. It tells us that too many California workers are not fully employed, but rather are getting by as best they can with parttime work. A deeper dive into data indicates that even the 14% U-6 rate understates California’s employment dilemma. The Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity, a think tank devoted to employment issues, has invented a new way of looking at employment — essentially counting those trapped in below-poverty jobs as unemployed.
L
ISEP chairman Gene Ludwig, comptroller of the currency under President Bill Clinton, says, “Policy leaders, by these headlines and statistics, have been deluded into thinking things are better off than they are.” Ludwig’s methodology counts those unemployed, working part-time involuntarily and/or earning less than $20,000 a year as “functionally unemployed.” When applied to California, the formula determines its “True Rate of Unemployment” to be 25.7% of the workforce. The Ludwig number, more
than three times California’s oft-stated unemployment rate, comports with other data about the economic distress being felt by millions of Californians who struggle to find well-paying jobs while contending with the state’s extraordinarily high costs of housing, utilities, gasoline and other necessities. By including living costs in its calculations, the Census Bureau sets California’s poverty rate at 17.2%, also highest in the nation. The Public Policy Institute of California takes it a step further by adding those living in “nearpoverty” and comes up with 34% of Californians feeling severe stress. Not surprisingly, almost exactly that percentage of California’s 40 million residents are enrolled in Medi-Cal, the state’s medical insurance system for the poor. We should keep all of these numbers in mind the next time we hear a politician crow about how vigorously California is recovering from recession. — CalMatters is a public interest journalism venture committed to explaining how California’s state Capitol works and why it matters.

f you believe — and I do — what was said at the COP26 summit in Glasgow, Scotland, now is the time to fix the electric power industry. It can be fixed by building up nuclear capacity so that electricity can be the go-to, clean fuel of the future. It could replace fossil fuels in everything from cement making to steel production to heating buildings. That potential, that future, is awesome and possible. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm should ask her national laboratories to make recommendations on a nuclear power future, not to the detriment of wind and solar power, but embracing them. Wind power is valuable. But depending on it is a little like having a trick knee: You never know when it is going to go out on you. Europe has just learned that lesson the hard way. It is in the grip of a major energy crisis with electricity prices quadrupling and natural gas prices headed into the stratosphere as winter approaches. One of the causes of this crisis is that wind speeds through the summer fell to their lowest recorded levels in 60 years, with a total wind drought in the normally gale-wracked North Sea. We won’t get to a carbon-free future unless we have a robust, committed plan to deploy state-of-the-art nuclear plants across the country. We built them in the 1960s and into the 1970s — 100 of them. Granholm needs to declare a purpose and to pick the proven winner. It is nuclear, and it has been gravely wounded in the culture wars. She needs to rescue it — with word and deed. — Llewellyn King is executive producer and host of “White House Chronicle” on PBS. His email is llewellynking1@gmail.com.

Letters Our Patwin neighbors are still here today There was a lot to love in the Fall/ Winter 2021 Yolo Magazine, but I was dismayed to read this statement in Rebecca Wasik’s article about the Cache Creek Wilderness: “Over 11,000 years ago, this area was inhabited by the Patwin tribe.” The truth is, this area was inhabited by Patwin groups until very recently, in the 1800s. Their descendants continue to live in the area today. The Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation, and Cachil Dehe Band of Wintun Indians are all Patwin groups and active tribal governments. They steward the undersized land bases they control; develop and diversify their economies through a myriad of economic ventures; and contribute generously to their surrounding local communities. Misleading statements like this contribute to the erasure of tribes today.

Bold reporting
Volunteers Eric Newman, Robert Weidenfeld, Larry Snyder and Bruce de Terra with the Friends of the North Davis Channel, assisted by Hannah Snyder with the Putah Creek Council and Chris Gardner with the city of Davis cleaned out an enormous amount of trash in the North Davis Channel that had been deposited during the recent heavy rains. Their joint efforts prevented that trash from being washed into the Yolo Bypass and ultimately the Delta and Pacific Ocean during the next set of storms. Important riparian habitat was revitalized and the safety and beauty of a much used community recreation area was enhanced. Such collaborative efforts involving community volunteers, community-based organizations and the city are emblematic of a vibrant community. Bruce de Terra Davis

Housing bills cause inevitable backlash I
t was inevitable from the moment Gov. Gavin Newsom in mid-September signed this year’s two most important housing bills into law: There will be a rebellion. Not only did poll numbers make this obvious – about twothirds of Californians opposed the extreme densifying measures SB 9 and SB 10 before Newsom signed them – but so did the fact that backers deliberately obscured key parts of these bills. Now their opponents aim to nullify these two measures that would take almost all zoning decisions away from city councils and county boards and essentially place them in the hands of Wall Street investors and developers with big bankrolls. They plan to do this via a ballot initiative now in the final stages of getting its ballot summary and official name, a job done by the office of state Attorney General Rob Bonta. Bonta, a Newsom appointee and a supporter of SB 9 and 10 while a legislator, has said nothing about the proposed initiative, whose advocates so far call it “Stop the Sacramento Land Grab.” Should Bonta give the initiative a misleading name or summary, he would be subject to lawsuits, which have previously forced changes in titles and summaries. So there’s pressure on the attorney general to get it right. Once these formal tasks are done, backers led by a group called Californians for Community Planning will have 180 days to gather the 1.3 million-odd valid voter signatures needed to place it on the ballot. The initiative represents a change in tactics for opponents
gobbled up thousands of California properties while anticipating something like SB 9.
A
of legislative proposals that have passed and been signed into law despite public outrage. Usually, those wanting to get rid of a new law they see as destructive use referenda that simply cancel the new law when they succeed. But this measure aims to do much more. It seeks to prevent legislators from ever again passing anything like SB 9 and SB 10. SB 9 would allow almost all single family properties to be cut in half, with both new parcels eligible for two new housing units, plus an “additional housing unit,” or “granny flat.” So where there is now one home, there could soon be six. There is no limit on how many such conversions could occur in any neighborhood. This was sold in the Legislature as a way for homeowners to get rich quick, since the potential total revenue from their properties could be much higher now than from selling a single house. But then there’s the obscured part of SB 9: To do a subdivision, a property owner must first pay off any loans on the parcel. Anyone unable to pay off his or her mortgage can’t do this. But they can sell to massive real estate buyers like Zillow and Wall Street banks, which have lately
ll over California, this could disfigure neighborhoods by making them unrecognizably dense, especially since there’s no requirement for new parking in any of these new structures. It’s much the same with SB 10, which cancels all pre-existing local land-use initiatives and laws and demands that all properties within half a mile of a rapid transit stop or major bus route be opened for buildings with up to 10 units. Despite the claims of proponents that such measures could not be applied in wildfire areas,
they are not excluded. Meanwhile, neither SB 9 nor SB 10 mandate any affordable housing. So there is fear of gentrification in some places and a dread of overbuilding in many other neighborhoods. Say the sponsors of Stop the Sacramento Land Grab, “Sacramento politicians (many elected with donations from developers) and special interests are incentivizing overdevelopment of market-rate housing, without…emphasis on creating more affordable housing or mixed-income communities.” So it’s no wonder there’s a rebellion. Few Californians ever expected this state eventually to copy New York’s density, which
the current new laws aim to do. That’s why this proposed initiative looks like it can’t miss. For the vast majority of Californians aspire to single-family housing even if they can’t afford it now. Which means the current laws would destroy much of the California Dream. That’s why they ought to be nullified, as the new initiative would do. — Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

Ripples from a pebble cast toward the pond Enterprise staff writer
Yolo CASA
or many, November is a month of gratitude and reflection. In honor of that, I’d like to call attention to one of the most important, yet often overlooked moments of being a CASA volunteer. After CASA volunteers complete their initial training, they choose their youths with information that we keep on file in the office. I always think of that moment as the moment that a pebble is cast toward the pond. The energy that it takes for our volunteers to overcome that moment of hesitation and fear and commit to the youths they will advocate for over the course of the next year and a half or more. When that pebble hits the surface and the ripples undulate outward, the impact is undeniable, but also unpredictable. One of the most common sentiments I hear from our CASA volunteers is how nervous they were for their first meeting… a moment easy to talk about in hindsight but nerve wracking to face for the first time. CASA volunteers already care very much about making a difference, but the journey there isn’t easy. This work is hard. Youths who are in the foster care system have had traumatic experiences and despite the efforts of professionals in the sys-
tem, they often lack the stability and healthy connections required to heal and thrive. Caring deeply about these children and not being able to wave a magic wand and fix it or heal their pain, but walking alongside them through it knowing you how little you can control is not for the faint of heart. But back to that initial moment … that first meeting … We ask an awful lot of our youths in care. We ask them to trust adults who are complete strangers to them and we often we overlook the strength, the courage, and the resilience they show us day after day after day. But CASA volunteers don’t... In fact, the most common sentiment I hear after CASA volunteers have gotten to know their youths is that they had no idea… They had no idea the magnitude of the hardships that foster youths have faced. They had no idea that someone so young could be so resilient or hopeful. They had no idea that the foster youths who they set out to help in profound ways actually end up helping them… finding delight in things we often take for granted, valuing connections with siblings with a ferocity rarely seen.

the biggest. They represent hope after hardship, and immediate needs seen, heard, and fulfilled for the child. But as the stone skips, the ripples become smaller and represent different things. For example, maybe a CASA volunteer

becomes an unofficial friend or symbolic aunt or uncle after the youth’s time in foster care and is there for big milestones, like weddings, college visits, etc. As with every pebble thrown toward the pond, there comes a natural point where that pebble sinks, but remains in the heart of the pond forever. The pond is never the same because now that pond holds space for that pebble and relies on that pebble being there, in its heart forever. The geography of the pond forever changed. We’ve recently had a few CASA volunteers pass away. These volunteers were dedicated and incredible people … people who all threw a pebble into the universe and had profound impacts from it both in their own lives, in the lives of the youth they’ve helped through some of the toughest moments, and on our community in ways often unseen. As I grieve these special volunteers, my gratitude comes from not only everything they did to make the world a better place, but that special place in the hearts of their youths that I know will never be the same. So much of life is about the kindness we choose to receive and give. If it weren’t for that, we wouldn’t have anyone to depend on, or any rela-
tionships to speak of. We’d all simply be disconnected people, going on our (probably not so merry) way. It’s the kindness and the willingness to cast that first pebble that binds us… that leads us to people who need us and who we come to need in return. This November, I am grateful for all of our CASA volunteers who’ve had the courage to cast that first pebble and create ripples and space that endure in the hearts of both their youths and themselves forever. I am also grateful for all the good outcomes for which our volunteers, together with the courageous youths they serve, help to bring to our community. November also happens to be National Adoption Month… and whether it be adoption or reunification, we know the chances of either are much higher with a CASA volunteer at a youth’s side. As you start thinking about the holidays and maybe even your New Year’s resolutions … I wonder … will you cast a pebble to the pond in 2022? If so, more information can be found on our website at yolocasa.org. — Tracy Fauver, LCSW, is the executive director of Yolo County CASA.

Two groups who show who we really are B
y a stroke of luck, over two days last month, I got to put my finger on the pulse of Davis. I’m not talking about the pulse that has been wonky lately due to disease and fear of disease, but instead the old, fundamental pulse that beats in times of struggle and times of ease, the one that quietly, in simple ways, motivates us toward good, the pulse that comes from the real heart of Davis. My first experience came on Wednesday, Oct. 6, when I was invited to ride a new and unfamiliar three-wheeled vehicle called a trishaw. A trishaw resembles a rickshaw, but has three wheels, instead of two, and is powered by a bike rider who pushes from behind, rather than pulling from in front. Two passengers are seat-belted into a front-facing cart, while a third person serves as the “pilot” who steers, pedals and activates an electric boost if needed. The trishaw is designed to give rides to older people, the disabled, or anyone who is unable to pedal a bike. The goal is not to go on errands or anything like that, but rather to allow riders to re-experience the simple pleasure of moving fast and freely out of doors. Locally, the nonprofit Bike
Campaign, with leadership from Maria Contreras Tebbutt and Anthony Palmere is starting the program after affiliating with Cycling without Age, an international organization with 2,500 chapters in over 50 countries. Our local trishaw was manufactured in Holland. The Bike Campaign purchased it via a grant from the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District and a Davis Community Church memorial fund bequeathed by the late Ida Bryan, who rode her bike throughout Davis well into her senior years. ———— On the day I tried it, representatives from The Bike Campaign gathered with a few residents of Rancho Yolo, an east Davis senior community, for early experimental rides. Even though I normally pedal my own bike, I found that being pedaled by someone else recreated the feeling of unpredictability and excitement I experienced when my dad let go and I pedaled my green two-wheeler for the first time. A fairy touch of childhood hovered over me as I sat with Elizabeth Lasensky, president of Rancho Yolo, being pedaled for 15 minutes by our pilot, Barry Bolden. Barry went on to give rides to several other pairs of people,
declaring that the effort was not tiring. I’ll tell you that 15 minutes pass quickly when you’re revisiting yourself as a child flying down the pavement. It’s poignant, communal and fun. When I got home, I started thinking practically about what proponents of this new idea still have to do. Insurance has been purchased, but the program needs rules for riding, release forms and a sign-up system that can offer rides in multiple locations. The trishaw will have to be moved around a lot. Pilots need training and someone will have to create and manage a weekly schedule. All of this planning is a big job, not impossible but demanding. How remarkable that folks are making this effort just so seniors can feel the wind in their hair. ———— Two days after my trishaw ride, my husband and I attended
a 25th anniversary event in Central Park. We were celebrating the Flying Carousel of the Delta Breeze, the unique merry-go-round in Davis that was commissioned and placed in Central Park in 1996 by the Davis Schools Foundation. For this attraction, the beneficiaries are children. The idea was to build a carousel and let school classes and groups run it during Farmer’s Market to raise money for their programs. A fifth-generation carousel-maker from Washington State, William Dentzel, was hired to create beautiful, unique animals, which meant there was a lot of fundraising involved. Although I’m not familiar with the details, I know that permission was needed from all kinds of entities and that there were dozens of decisions after that. How long would each ride be and how much would it cost? Who would pedal? Who would handle communications and planning? Who would keep the schedule? Detailed organizing of this kind is no small job and it is probably not anyone’s favorite activity, even among boosters of the carousel or the trishaw. My husband was a member of the Davis Schools Foundation in the ’90s and I remember thinking
that the whole carousel idea was pretty far-fetched. And yet, here we were at the 25th anniversary celebration. The pedal-powered merry-goround was brought to life and continued despite some tough times, especially a number of years ago when two animals were stolen. Funds are being raised now to refurbish the carousel and get it going again as COVID decreases. This takes effort and requires a certain kind of spirit that, amazingly, we have in abundance in Davis. We support practical nonprofits, such as those to feed and house people, but I love that we support the whimsical, too. ———— As an example of the Davis spirit, I give you the frog tunnel. I also give you the gentleman named Barry Bolden who pedaled for my trishaw ride. He has been a bike rider and member of bike organizations for many years. Under his helmet, mask and eye wear I couldn’t see his face very well so I asked how old he was. 82. That’s Davis for you. — Marion Franck has lived in Davis for more than 40 years.

Hattie Weber Museum tells the stories of Davis By Lulu Zhang Special to The Enterprise
T
he Hattie Weber Museum documents Davis’ history. Whether you are a lifetime Davis resident or a student who is eager to move to a big city upon graduation, you are part of the city of Davis’ history. To begin to immerse yourself in our local history, let’s first take a look at the history of the building in which the history museum is located. The door of the Hattie Weber Museum of Davis has the word “library” on it. The word has been confusing many prospective visitors. In fact, the boutique museum has an inextricable historical connection to the first library in Davis. The story began with a club called the Bachelor Girls. Before the Information Age, a library would be the first place to go if someone wanted to obtain information. Between the 1850s and the 1880s, the first settlers were getting themselves situated in Davisville (our city’s original name). The pioneers understandably wanted to organize a reading room for Davisville residents to borrow books and find information. A small reading room on

The Hattie Weber Museum is part of the fabric of Davis. G Street was born. Then the growing need for a bigger and more formal library was recognized. However, there was only one problem — lack of funds. The solution would soon come with the formation of a club consisting of eighteen dedicated unmarried women. On Feb. 22, 1909, the Davis Bachelor Girls was founded for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a free library in Davis. The namesake of our history museum, Hattie Weber, was one of the
founding members of the Bachelor Girls’ club. The Bachelor Girls organized dances, spinning bees and other other events to raise funds. In the 1920s spinning bees, the Bachelor Girls were probably making yarns to sell. (Spinning bees were American Revolution Era public events in which women would hand make cloth to boycott English textiles. In other words, spinning bees existed in Colonial America, not long before the United States would be
established as an independent country. History is fascinating, isn’t it?). The dedicated young women also conducted business canvassing to raise funds to eventually build the library building originally located on F Street. In 1910, two Bachelor Girls’ charter members raised sufficient funds to purchase a lot where the very first Davis library would be built the following year. Hattie Weber was appointed the first librarian. At the time, the library was officially named the
Davis Free Library. The lot was located on Oak Street, which was later renamed F Street. Our museum is in the original building of the first Davis library. The building was moved from F Street to C Street on wheels in 1988. Yes, you read it right! How cool was that? As a matter of fact, you are welcome to come to our museum and check out the picture that captured the moment when our building was on wheels. The picture is located in the exhibit called the Davis Public Library. Now let us go back to the history of our history museum a little bit. In 1923, the lot of the Davis Free Library was sold to the County of Yolo. As a result, the Davis Free Library was now called the Yolo County Free Library. On February 9, 1923, after the Davis Free Library became the Yolo County Free Library, the Davis Bachelor Girls decided to become the Davis Library Club. The Davis Library Club would serve as a fundraising body for the Yolo County Free Library for many decades to come. On May 13, 1959, Friends of the Davis Library was
established to expand the Davis Library Club’s fundraising efforts. On Dec. 17, 1968, the current Yolo County Library, Mary L. Stephens branch, was built to accommodate the need of an ever-growing local population. The building that hosted the first Davis library became a teen center. In 1988, the building was “rescued” before it would be demolished. This is the history of our Hattie Weber History Museum. We welcome you into our museum to learn more about who came before us and what happened before you and I moved to Davis. We are open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays. We will soon have a new exhibit that honors three former Davis residents who went through the Japanese Internment during World War II. We hope to see you soon! — Lulu Zhang graduated UC Davis with a bachelor’s degree in history. Her passion for history and writing led her to volunteer at the Hattie Weber Museum, where she hopes she can spark more interest about the museum among Davis residents and UCD students.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE
Daughter spreads her wings Dear Annie: My daughter and her father and I were always close. We talked daily, telling one another about our days. She has three children. We paid for preschool for all of them, bought their clothes and even bought a condo for them to live in while she went to law school. She is our only living child; we were in a position to help, and we were happy to do so. She divorced her husband, who was bleeding her financially by buying expensive new cars and going on expensive vacations. We also helped by babysitting the kids, getting meals many times and continuing with financial help. She met someone very nice, stable and with a rising career. Her career rose, too. They are a family now, with five children and a big house to take care of. We hear from her now once every two or three weeks, and visits are rare — maybe once every three months. We went through a very painful time from this separation, especially me. I’m all right now and have developed new friends. I wonder, though, if this type of distancing from us is something she had to do to become independent, or if she almost mistreated us. What do you think? — A Mom of a Grown Daughter Dear Mom of a Grown Daughter: Ideally, in parenting, you raise your children to have a strong foundation; you give them good roots; and then you give them wings to fly away on their own. It sounds like you have done a great job parenting. I don’t think your daughter is mistreating you; I think she is happy and enjoying her life, which should be your goal. Maybe see if you can go over and visit her and
all of your many grandkids. Sometimes, when we are having a difficult time in life, even in adulthood, it is our parents who help us out. Your daughter was going through a tough time with her ex-husband, and your support was so helpful that she was able to get back on her feet and find a good husband and a happy life. Job well done, Mom.
Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Frustrated Friend,” who was struggling with how to handle a “frenemy,” and my heart went out to her, as I have lived the exact same situation. You are perfectly correct in your response that this person is no friend. I, too, never knew how to handle my frenemy because the insults were always spoken sotto voce or to someone else but always loud enough for me to hear, or, as “Frustrated Friend” says, “embarrassing” because they were said “while in the company of others.” You suggest, “Stand up for yourself the next time she insults you.” I would love to get some suggestions from you on how to handle this type of individual. How does one stand up to someone who is so passive aggressive? — Been There Dear Been There: The best way to stand up to a bully (even a passive aggressive one) is to stand up to the bully directly. Let them know very directly that you don’t have time for passive aggressive games. If they continue to try to boss you around
through passive aggressiveness, it might be time to pack your bags and look for a new friend. ——— Dear Annie: I enjoy reading your column every day and usually agree with your advice. However, I think you may have missed the mark with “Am I Petty,” who reconnected with her ex-husband and is now dating him again. He met a woman on a dating app while they were briefly broken up for three weeks. She stated that she was afraid to broach the subject with him because he gets very upset. That statement tells me that he may have been abusive and controlling in their relationship. Between the lines, I read that this man thinks only of himself and has come back to roost with a woman that he thinks will put up with him — again. You advised her to take a step back and consider whether the relationship was right for her. I think she should take that step, turn and run — not walk — in the opposite direction. She divorced him once and is asking for more heartache if she continues to let this man manipulate her. — Know the Type Dear Know the Type: I appreciate this insight, though I’m sorry you had occasion to gain it. It does sound as though “Am I Petty’s” husband is, at the very least, somewhat emotionally manipulative and engaging in gaslighting. Readers can learn more about this practice and how to combat it by visiting https://www. thehotline.org and entering “gaslighting” into the site search bar. ——— Dear Annie: Regarding “Should I Let Go for My Own Sanity”: She’s in a crummy situation, to put it mildly, but maybe getting involved with some peo-
ple who’d be a little more appreciative would make her feel better. Mentoring a student, reading to students, visiting with elderly people, whatever she might like — she might get a little more appreciation and feel a little better. It doesn’t change the situation with her sons, but she might see that their opinions aren’t the only ones in the world. Just a suggestion. — Sue M. Dear Sue: And a very good one, at that. Thanks for writing. ——— Dear Annie: I just read the letter from “Driving Me Crazy” regarding scaring passengers in her car. As I read the letter, I couldn’t help but immediately wonder if the letter writer is struggling with ADHD symptoms and could possibly be helped by seeing a doctor about the condition. As someone with ADHD, I know that reckless driving is a big symptom. Many, many people with ADHD report having similar issues with driving. For many people with ADHD, driving is extra dangerous, and I hope the letter writer will talk to her doctor. It’s worth a conversation if she hasn’t ever been diagnosed with ADHD. — Rhys Dear Rhys: I hadn’t considered the risks ADHD poses while driving. This is indeed worth a conversation with one’s doctor. Appreciate the tip.
Remember the good times Dear Annie: I have had many odd symptoms over the years that got worse, and it has taken much research to finally get help. I have deficiencies in vitamins D and B12 that require more than a multivitamin. Doctors don’t learn nutrition in medical school and are unaware of what defi-

ciencies look like. Vitamins aren’t part of routine bloodwork. Please advise readers to request their vitamins, as well as their children’s, be checked when having blood drawn. If deficient, it is important to educate oneself on the possible cause, symptoms and where to get help. Deficiencies don’t go away on their own and they have health consequences over time. Thank you. — Vitamins Can Be Vital Dear Vitamins: Thank you for your letter. You bring up a very important point about nutrition. You can get many of your vitamins if you eat a well-balanced diet, but knowledge is power. Learning from your doctor what vitamins you are deficient in could really help your overall health. ——— Dear Annie: As a caregiver and a daughter-in-law, I would just like to say your advice for “Forgotten Daughter” is spot on. This daughter is in a very hard position, but she should try to remember that our reality can’t be forced onto her mom. Sometimes, you have to live in her reality and pretend you have never heard that story or just go along with what she says. Enjoy every moment and story that you can, because when they are gone, you will wish you could hear them one more time. I have to remind my husband of this all the time. Don’t regret not taking the time you have to build good memories now. — Understanding Caregiver Dear Understanding Caregiver: I love the idea of enjoying every moment, memory and story with those we love. Cherishing those we love each day is the biggest gift we can give to them and to ourselves. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators. com.

B8 THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2021
Aggie cagers are overflowing with talent U C Davis women’s basketball coach Jennifer Gross on the 2021-22 season: “We return four starters from last year and I’m excited about that. But even when you return a lot of players from the previous season, every team is unique. Our nonconference schedule is one of the most challenging that we’ve ever had, traveling to Stanford and Oregon, both preseason AP Top 10 selections, plus Washington State and Gonzaga at home. Our goal remains the same: Work together to be the best possible version of ourselves come March.” Players to watch: Cierra Hall, Sage Stobbart, Kayla Konrad and Evanne Turner. n Next up, Aggies men’s basketball coach Jim Les: “Our prep for this season has gone very well. We’re young academically, but I’m really encouraged by how much experience we have returning. Eleven of our 15 on the roster are underclassmen but
this team has a lot of versatility that plays into our strengths. Our team has a number of creators that can contribute across the board. I always want us to be a good defensive team that can score the ball. With our length and experience, we can do that.” Players to watch: Ezra Manjon, Elijah Petter, Caleb Fuller and Ade Adebayo. n The NFL fined the Green Bay Packers $300,000 for the team’s non-compliance with the league’s COVID-19 protocols. To 99.9% of the U.S. population, 300 thou is a heck of a lot of money. NFL franchises, though, are worth billions to those who own them. Including the Packers, who are community owned. A fine, even a substantial one, is chalked up to “the cost of doing business.” The Commissioner’s Office has the right to impose discipline on teams that break the rules. Fines
don’t seem to get anyone’s attention. So why not take draft choices away? High draft choices. Multiple draft choices. It’s been done before. Aaron Rodgers was fined by the league for attending the team’s Halloween party. Previous violations, such as not wearing a mask inside the team facility, were not punished. Rodgers’s fine: $14,650. That’s walking-around money for a man whose yearly salary is $33.5 million. n How great was Peyton Manning?
We’re all familiar with his having won two Super Bowls, 539 TD passes, 71,940 yards passing, 14-time Pro Bowl choice and first ballot Hall of Fame induction. What you may not know is, after Manning retired from the Denver Broncos following the 2015 season, 10 different quarterbacks have started at least one game for the Broncos in five-plus years. The latest is Teddy Bridgewater, and who knows for how long? n With Jim Mora Jr. being named head football coach of the Connecticut Huskies, it brings to mind a Lou Holtz observation when Holtz left UConn to take an assistant’s job at South Carolina. “The school is located in a town named Storrs,” Holtz said. “It used to be Store, then they built a second one.” Thanks to CT native and column collaborator Charles Arthur
Hayes for the tidbit. Mora more than has his work cut out for him. The school does not have an on-campus stadium and went 6-32 under most recent coach Randy Edsall. Mora does have a five-year, $7.5 million contract as he tries to turn things around. He has been an ESPN commentator since his departure from UCLA in 2017. n Bobby Layne was a raconteur, and future Hall of Fame, quarterback with the Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers in the ’50s and ’60s. Asked once about his life’s ambition, Layne replied, “To run out of air and money at the same time.” — The longtime radio and television color man on UC Davis football broadcasts, Doug Kelly is director of communications for Battlefields2Ballfields and managing general partner of Kelly & Associates. Contact him at DKelly1416@aol.com.
Arfsten is Big West Offensive Player of the Year Special to The Enterprise UC Davis men’s soccer player, forward Maximilian Arfsten, was named the Big West Conference Offensive Player of the Year. Teammate Robert Mejia was named the league’s midfielder of the year, headlining the list of Aggies on the 2021 All-Big West honor roll as voted on by the conference’s head coaches released on Friday. Joining Arfsten and Mejia on the 13-member first team was senior defender Jake Haupt, while junior defender Max Glasser was named to the all-conference second team. Senior forward Grant Fidler picked up honorable mention allconference honors, as did senior midfielder Andy Velasquez. Newcomer Turner Humphrey was named to the all-freshman team to round out the group of UC Davis honorees. Arfsten becomes the second Aggie to be named the league’s top offensive
UCD roundup player, joining All-America selection Quincy Amarikwa in 2008, while Mejia became the first UC Davis player to win top midfielder honors since the award was established in 2004. The duo also picked up their first career allleague awards, while Haupt was named to the first team for the first time in his career after making the second team in 2019. Glasser and Velasquez, meanwhile, earned their second career all-conference nods after being named to the honorable mention and second team squads in 2019, while Humphrey became the ninth Aggie named to the all-freshman squad since 2013, joining the likes of Dash MacNamara, Miguel Acevedo, Evan Barrett, Roy Boateng, Nabi Kibunguchy, Mejia, Velasquez and Arfsten. UC Davis finished the season with a 9-10-1 overall record and a 4-4-1 mark in Big West play. The Aggies advanced to the
