Housing proposed for Shriners property

O Tannenbaum

By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer Owners of the Shriners property east of Wild Horse Ranch have submitted a pre-application to the city proposing a large housing development.

Davis Eastside LLC owns the 234acre parcel, which is currently zoned by the county as agricultural intensive.

The site is directly east of Wild Horse Ranch, for which developer David Taormino has submitted a separate pre-application proposing 164 residential units, a pool complex and more on that 26-acre parcel.

The proposal for the adjacent Shriner’s property includes between 1,100 and 1,200 residential units “geared toward families in varying lot sizes and densities on approximately 145 acres.”

Also included are a 45-acre community park, 10 acres of greenways and 15 acres of ag buffer.

“The primary objectives of this proposal are to create both a new

Some ideas just go nowhere fast I know we’re not supposed to stereotype people or create a greater divide than already exists in this country, but I’m going to do it anyway.

So, if I told you that a couple of years ago a California state senator wanted to add special lanes to Interstate 5 and Highway 99 that would have no speed limit, which political party would you presume he belongs to?

Not an obvious answer, I suppose, but if you guessed “Republican,” you can move to the head of the class.

This bill, of course, was run off the road, ended up in a ditch or any other cute and clever description you’d like to apply, but I think the topic still deserves discussion.

Especially as we move toward a time of self-driving cars that will presumably be able to achieve high speeds without crashing into anything.

“A Southern California legislator has proposed a bill to add new lanes to Interstate 5 and Highway 99 without speed limits,” said the opening paragraph of a 2019 story

by Thaddeus Miller and Andrew Sheeler in the Merced Sun Star.

“Senate Bill 319 could help with congestion and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to state Sen. John Moorlach, R-Orange County,” the story goes on.

“Idling on the highway ‘increases the emissions of greenhouse gases as it causes automobiles to idle longer while on roadways’ the bill says.”

For starters, Moorlach targeted stretches between Bakersfield and Stockton, but only the newly added lanes would have no speed limit. The other lanes would remain with the current speed limit, generally 70 miles an hour through the barren, city-less stretches of I-5.

Now, with all due respect to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, I’ve been on that stretch of both Interstate 5 and Highway 99 a million times each and I don’t recall ever “idling” in traffic.

In fact, 70 would pretty much put you in the slow lane on I-5, which hugs the west side of the Central Valley and is one of the most boring rides known to man.

If it weren’t for the spectacular oasis of Harris Ranch, the drive from Stockton to the Grapevine

ON THE WEB www.davisenterprise.com Copyright 2021

would be unbearable.

At the time, Moorlach, asked a reporter for a Sacramento television station “Why don’t we provide people with vehicles the opportunity just to drive at 100 miles an hour?”

I can think of a hundred reasons why we don’t, but I’ve always been a slow lane kind of guy anyway.

The word “breathtaking” comes to mind here, especially if you’re poking along at 70 in one of the lanes designed for wimps as someone whips by you on the left faster than you can say “Coalinga.”

And they might even be going a fair bit faster than 100 mph. After all, the bill said “no” speed limit.

I

mean, what if you’re cruising along at 110 mph and the guy behind you wants to go 140?

Does he swing into a “regular” lane and go around you on the right or do you have to merge right at 110 mph and let him go by on the left?

Apparently, no one who thinks 100 mph in the Central Valley is a good thing has ever lived here in winter, when dense and dangerous tule fog can sometimes stretch from Bakersfield to Red Bluff.

Ah yes, our famous fog, creeping in by dark of night and sometimes cutting visibility almost to zero.

Years ago, the UC Davis men’s basketball team used to play

regularly at Stanislaus State in Turlock and occasionally at Fresno State and Cal State Bakersfield.

As a sportswriter on the Aggie beat I frequently made that midnight ride home through dense, yet patchy fog that made it difficult to determine what speed was safest.

If you went too slowly, you risked getting rear-ended by someone who didn’t have the same fear of fog. But if you went too fast, you risked being the one doing the rear-ending.

Plus, there would be stretches where the fog would suddenly break up and the stars and the moon would be visible overhead and you could hear the angels sing.

People would speed up during these clear stretches, but just as quickly you’d hit another patch of fog where someone might be limping along at 10 mph.

The hope was that you could find an 18-wheeler with all sorts of taillights and simply ride his back bumper all the way home.

I hate to destroy anyone’s Indy 500 dream, but I’d prefer to keep the speed limit exactly where it is.

If people really think they’ll reduce greenhouse gas emissions by driving 100 miles an hour, the Nevada desert beckons.

Sacramento men convicted for thefts of catalytic converters in 8 counties

Authorities check in on Yolo County sex offenders

Enterprise staff

Special to The Enterprise

A multi-county catalytic converter theft case sparked by a Davis crime resulted in two convictions this week when the defendants admitted to felony grand theft and conspiracy charges.

Dao Xiong, 44; and Shaneel Lal, 38; both of Sacramento, are expected to receive six-year jail terms at their Jan. 10 sentencing hearing in Yolo Superior Court, according to a Yolo County District Attorney’s Office news release.

Prosecutors say the pair stole 64 catalytic converters in eight counties — Yolo, Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Napa, Butte, Alameda, and Contra Costa — over a nearly five-month period, causing losses totaling more than $100,000.

Catalytic converters, which are part of a vehicle’s exhaust system, often contain precious metals including platinum, gold, rhodium and palladium that have high value in the metal recycling market and make them an item of choice among thieves and crime rings.

Replacement costs for catalytic converters range

from $1,000 to $3,000, and at times it can take weeks or months for an automotive repair shop to get the right replacement part.

This investigation began in September 2020 when a Davis resident reported the theft of his Toyota Prius’ catalytic converter. Detectives with the Davis Police Department’s CommunityOriented Policing and Problem-Solving (COPPS) Unit launched an investigation and obtained surveillance video from a nearby car that helped identify the suspects' vehicle.

Through surveillance and the assistance of the Folsom Police Department, detectives identified Xiong and Lal as their suspects. Detectives monitored their activities as they traveled to multiple counties, with Xiong as the driver and Lal as the passenger.

Electronic surveillance revealed that Xiong and Lal scouted neighborhoods during the daytime or early evening hours, then returned to the same locations later in the night or early morning hours to commit the thefts, prosecutors said.

Detectives

matched police reports to the locations and time frames of the catalytic converter thefts.

Davis police arrested Xiong and Lal following an Oct. 20, 2020, traffic stop, during which multiple catalytic converters allegedly stolen out of Napa County were found in their possession.

Released on Yolo County’s “zero bail” emergency order enacted at the time due to the coronavirus pandemic, both men were released from custody and are believed to have continued the thefts until their Feb. 2, 2021, arrest at Thunder Valley Casino in Placer County.

“Catalytic converter theft is not victimless and is not just another ‘property crime.’ It impacts the livelihood and financial stability of many individuals,” Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig said. “People are unable to drive their cars, get to work, or pick up their kids because of these thieves. These crimes will not be tolerated and this plea sends a message that law enforcement takes these thefts seriously.”

Yolo County law enforcement conducted compliance checks on more than 350 registered sex offenders last month as part of its Operation Vigilance program.

Operation Vigilance began 12 years ago with the goal to protect Yolo County citizens by ensuring that county residents who must register as sex offenders are complying with all laws and applicable parole or probation directives.

More than 90 law enforcement personnel from Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office, Yolo County Probation Department, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Woodland Parole Unit, California Department of Justice Human Trafficking and Sex Predator Apprehension Team, the Yolo County District Attorney’s Criminal Investigation Bureau and the Woodland, West Sacramento, Winters and Davis police departments participated in this joint operation during the week of Nov. 15-19.

Many of the individuals who are required to

register were previously convicted of rape, child molestation or possession of child pornography.

Ninety-five percent of those contacted were in compliance with the terms and conditions of their parole or probation.

One individual was arrested for a violation of parole conditions related to his online activity, 15 were not in compliance with their registration, and one was found in possession of child pornography.

One unique aspect of “Operation Vigilance” is that while officers are making the home visits, forensic examiners search computers, smartphones and other digital storage devices for potential violations.

Computer forensic investigators from the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office High Technology Unit and examiners from other participating agencies worked together to conduct these specialized searches.

A total of 44 devices were searched and two items were seized for further examination.

Cyclist hurt in collision with car

By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer A Davis bicyclist was hospitalized Wednesday morning after colliding with a vehicle at Third and L streets, Davis police said.

Lt. Ilya Bezuglov said the 19-year-old rider was making a left turn from westbound Third Street onto L Street and was struck by a car traveling northbound on L Street at about 9 a.m.

The impact caused the

rider to be ejected from the bike and strike the car’s windshield, Bezuglov said.

He was transported to the UC Davis Medical Center with major injuries, and it was not immediately clear whether he was wearing a helmet.

Bezuglov said the driver, a 28-year-old Davis woman, was expected to be cited for failing to yield the right of way. She told officers she didn’t see the cyclist prior to the collision.

Hey, evergreens, take a bough

By Sara Thompson Special to the Enterprise

A

ll plants and trees begin as seeds.

Many use flowers and fruit to produce more seeds, but some trees use cones. Trees that reproduce using cones are called conifers. Conifers and their cones have a variety of other amazing adaptations that help them survive in nature.

One of the most recognizable features of many conifers is their needles.

Performing the same function as broad leaves, they are responsible for performing the gas exchange process of photosynthesis. The narrow shape, with the help of a waxy coating help the needles to not dry out in cooler and dryer climates.

Needles also do not fall annually like with deciduous trees, and therefore can perform photosynthesis all year. This is one reason you find conifers at higher elevations and latitudes; they are well adapted to those environments.

Conifers get their name from to the cones they produce. The cones are an integral part to the tree’s reproduction as they bear the pollen and the seeds. A conifer tree will produce both cones that contain pollen and cones that contain seeds. Cones that contain pollen are typically grown on the lower parts of the tree, so they do not pollinate the same tree, but instead are dispersed to other trees for pollinating.

The pollen cones are smaller than the seeded ones and are usually only present during the spring and summer. Once they have released their pollen, those cones will fall off the

Sugar & Pepita

White spruce cones in Broomfield, Colo.

Explorit Science Center tree. The seed-bearing cones are much bigger and are found higher up in the trees. When pollinated the seed can take anywhere from one to three years to fully develop depending on the species. During this time the cone will close up when the weather is cold and dry, and open when warmer. Conifers rely on animals to help distribute their seeds. Squirrels and birds often eat the pinecones and their seeds, transporting and distributing them elsewhere to root and grow.

You can see several species of trees in the Mace Ranch Park, including conifers. Come explore our exhibit Healthy Planet, Healthy You during our Public Hours: Friday 1 to 4 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Make and take crafts available for children before noon on

Mercer Clinic marks 27 years of giving holiday pet baskets

By Eileen M. Samitz Special to The Enterprise This year, the Mercer Clinic Holiday Pet Baskets program celebrating its 27th year and the good news is that the program will be distributing gifts for the pets of the homeless despite recent challenges.

The gift baskets are now more eco-friendly by the program using re-usable semi-fabric shopping bags for the clients which have the Mercer Clinic logo. The pet gift bags will be distributed at the Dec. 11 Mercer Clinic for the Pets of the Homeless.

Fortunately, the Mercer Clinic has managed to endure throughout the pandemic by taking all the precautions necessary to continue helping the pets of the homeless.

Mercer Clinic is proudly is one of the longest running clinics like it in the country, but needs your help since it relies primarily on monetary donations. Historically, the Mercer Clinic for the Pets of the Homeless was started in 1992 by a few UCD veterinary students supervised by veterinarians to create a clinic for the pets of the homeless, which was so needed. It made the most sense to locate it being near the “Loaves and Fishes” facility in Sacramento, which has been main “soup kitchen” to help the homeless for many years.

Mercer Clinic for the Pets of the Homeless monthly clinic provides an important community service including vaccinations, flea and

tick control, endo-parasite treatment and helping to provide spay and neuter services.

These special animals are much more than pets to the homeless. For many, these pets are their owners only source of love and companionship since, sadly, many of the homeless have been abandoned by their families.

These pets are their family and are helping to keep them from falling into depression and substance abuse.

The Mercer Holiday Pet Basket Program started in 1995 by a group of UCD VMTH employees. Due to the growing need, our pet baskets distributed have grown from 25, to 50, to 70, and 130 for years now (100 dog and 30 cat baskets annually).

In 2012, we added the Winter Pet Coat and Sweater program. We became aware of the critical need for coats and sweaters for these pets of the homeless because, unfortunately, often pets are not permitted inside homeless shelters. Providing these pets coats and sweaters helps them to get through the cold and wet winter elements, particularly the smaller and older more frail animals.

UCD undergrad volunteers help with the distribution of the December pet baskets and over 250 pet coats and 250 pet sweaters annually.

Our outreach now is for monetary donations to either, or both of our funds, the Mercer Clinic Holiday Pet Baskets and Winter Pet

First Omicron case found in California VAX: Surge threat adds urgency

By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer California has reported the state's first case of the Omicron variant, identified by UC San Francisco.

An individual who had returned home to San Francisco from South Africa last week tested positive on Monday after experiencing mild symptoms, officials said. The person was fully vaccinated but had not received a booster shot and the symptoms were mild.

A joint statement issued Wednesday by the San Francisco and California departments of public health said the detection was expected and credited the state's testing and

early-detection systems.

“Our partners at the University of California, San Francisco, identified this case through their sequencing capabilities," the statement said. "California is continuing to monitor the variant’s presence and progress through the state’s robust whole genome sequencing surveillance."

"We must remain vigilant against this variant, but it is not a cause for panic," the departments said.

"We should assume that it's in other states as well," Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Twitter.

The state reported it is increasing COVID-19

testing at airports for arrivals from countries identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in order to help prevent the spread of the new variant.

"We recognize that everyone is exhausted, and the news of a new variant can be overwhelming. It is important that we collectively focus on the things we know prevent the spread of COVID-19, and its variants. Individuals should (1) get vaccinated and boosted; (2) wear your mask in indoor settings; (3) get tested if you have symptoms; and (4) stay home if you are sick," the health departments said.

Davis Manor hosts 6th annual Winter Bazaar Special to The Enterprise The friendly residents of Davis Manor invite the Davis community to come enjoy local artisanal shopping and neighborly holiday cheer.

Neighborhood artisans will showcase a variety of hand-crafted artwork, herbal remedies, and specialty treats at the neighborhood’s sixth annual Winter Bazaar from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 5. The event will be held outdoors on the spacious “Naturehood” street mural at the corner of Duke and M streets. Masks are required and physical distancing will be observed.

This year’s featured resident Davis Manor artists include Jen Hoover’s Aana Jaana Himalayan woolen textile crafts (aana-jaana.com), Nik Joshi and Avikesson’s metal sculptures and furniture (http://www.instagram.com/

nikhil.joshi1974), Jen Nachmanoff ’s handcrafted pottery (jennifernachmanoffceramics.weebly.com), and Robin Kozloff ’s ceramic planters and succulents.

Other returning favorites to the Winter Bazaar are Laura Morton’s fine art and jewelry (LauraMortonArt.com), Dave Beal’s pour paintings, Dave Nachmanoff ’s upcycled guitar string jewelry and music, and Michaela Daystar’s HeartScapes Apothecary with a delightful array of herbal medicinals and kitchen witchery. Artisanal food offerings include Cloverleaf Farm jams, syrups, and fruit leather, and Morgan Matz’ baked goods.

In case of rain, the Winter Bazaar will be postponed to Sunday, Dec. 12. For additional information, contact Jen Nachmanoff at jennach67@gmail.com.

From Page A1 and 60.6 percent have received at least one dose. n 8.6 percent of children ages 5 to 11 are fully vaccinated and 25.7 percent have received at least one dose.

As the county continues its efforts to get more people vaccinated, the arrival of the Omicron variant, on top of fears of a Deltafueled winter surge, has officials focusing on getting booster shots into all eligible adults as well.

There, too, rates vary among age groups.

Seniors over the age of 65 were the among the first residents eligible for booster shots but less than half of Yolo County seniors have received one, including 47.5 percent of those ages 65 to 74 and 46.7 percent of those ages 75 to 84.

Rates are even lower among younger adults.

About 28 percent of county residents ages 55 to 64 have received a booster shot and 21 percent of those ages 45 to 54.

Fewer than 20 percent of residents under 44 have received booster doses.

Health officials urge all adults who are six months past their second Pfizer or Moderna dose or two months past their Johnson & Johnson shot to get a booster due to waning protection provided by the vaccines.

Health Officer Dr. Aimee Sisson has said that while the vast majority of county

residents who end up hospitalized with COVID-19 are unvaccinated, those who had been vaccinated are primarily older adults who had not yet received a booster shot.

———— Of the 35,556 booster shots administered to Yolo County residents so far, 19,132 (or 53.8 percent) were Pfizer doses and 16,093 (or 45.3 percent) were Moderna, while 330 Johnson & Johnson boosters have been administered.

Health officials have authorized a mix-andmatch approach to boosters, so individuals do not need to get a booster shot of the same vaccine received previously.

A study published in The Lancet on Thursday found seven different COVID-19 vaccines given as boosters (including all three

HOUSING: Proposal joins crowded slate From Page A1 residential neighborhood geared toward families for the city of Davis and new amenities for current residents to enjoy,” the preapplication states.

“Such a new residential neighborhood would contribute substantially to the city’s critical need for more rental and ownership housing at diverse price points.”

The pre-application states that the proposal “emphasizes diversity in housing types and sizes with the intent to better serve the needs of families and housing targeting the ‘missing middle’ demographic which has declined significantly in Davis when compared to neighboring cities.”

Specifically, the proposal would include multi-family rental units affordable to low, very low and extremely low-income households as required under the city’s affordable housing ordinance (which calls for 15 percent total affordable units) and would reserve 10 percent of for-sale units “to sell at an average price of 70 percent of the city’s median home price.”

“While not deedrestricted, these homes will be designed and priced to be more attainable when compared to existing and other new housing stock in the city,” the document states, adding that the proposal also includes additional for-sale homes “at a more affordable level in

Courtesy graphic

A pre-application has been submitted to the city for a development project east of Wildhorse that would include 1,100 to 1,200 residential units with a range of lot sizes and densities. The location has long been known as the Shriners property though it is no longer owned by Shriners. collaboration with a housing nonprofit builder.”

Other components of the proposal include: n A grade-separated crossing of Covell Boulevard “that will allow school children within the neighborhood to navigate safely by bicycle or foot to Korematsu Elementary School and Harper Junior High School.” n A baseball/softball complex n A nature area with a pond and open space. n A food truck court at the baseball/softball

complex “allowing flexible and dynamic retail services during games and tournaments and the overall neighborhood at selected days and times if feasible and desirable.” n A transit center adjacent to the food truck court and, if desired by the city, a small retail center within the neighborhood along Covell Boulevard.

Both the Shriners proposal and Taormino’s Palomino Ranch proposal are pre-applications, with the developers seeking input from city officials and the

community but no official review process is underway yet.

Between the 164 housing units proposed for Wild Horse Ranch; the 1,100 to 1,200 units proposed for the Shriners property; and the 460 housing units contained in the revised Davis Innovation and Sustainability Campus, more than 1,800 housing units are now proposed for three separate parcels along the outskirts of northeast Davis north of Covell and east of Mace Boulevard.

The DISC 2022 proposal is already in the city’s review process.

After Davis voters turned down the original project in 2020, Ramco Enterprises and Buzz Oates Group of Companies returned over the summer with a slimmed down version of the innovation campus, including a reduction in housing units from 850 to 460.

The overall project was reduced from 194 acres to 102, with space for offices, research and development, manufacturing and more reduced as well.

DISC 2022 is currently being reviewed by city commissions and will ultimately go before the City Council which will decide whether to place the project on the ballot next year.

‘Viva Las Dixon’ show to feature Elvis tribute star Special to The Enterprise If you’re an Elvis fan, this show’s for you! On Saturday, Jan. 22, top Elvis impersonator Rob Ely will take the stage at Dixon High School’s community theatre to perform song favorites such as “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Blue Suede Shoes,” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” The fundraiser for Dixon’s Teen Center will begin at 7 p.m.

Ely has won top honors at Elvis talent competitions around the U.S. He has placed in the top three — or in first place — at five regional Elvis contests sponsored by Elvis Presley Enterprises, and was crowned “Best Overall Elvis” at Thunder Valley Casino. He won

Grand Champion at the Laughlin, Nev., Elvis Festival and performs close to 200 shows per year around the U.S. Only 300 tickets are available for the show at the DHS theater, 555 College Way, in Dixon. Tickets may be purchased online at Eventbrite.com (search “Elvis Dixon”). In Dixon, tickets ($30 each) may be purchased at the Chamber of Commerce, Dixon Florist and the Grocery Outlet. Tickets would make wonderful Christmas presents. Raffle prizes will also be offered.

Dixon’s Teen Center first opened in 2011, and looks forward to continuing operations after a closure due to COVID-19.

COLLISION: CHP investigating deadly crash near Davis From Page A1 lane, according to a CHP Solano news release. A box truck and a Toyota Tacoma then struck the disabled Avalon.

The CHP reported that a 50-year-old woman, also a passenger in the Avalon, suffered major injuries in the crash as well. She was transported to the UC Davis Medical Center, while Williams went to Kaiser Vacaville

for treatment.

Eastbound I-80 through Davis was shut down for just over four hours as a result of the collision, with traffic diverted onto northbound Highway 113 to bypass the crash scene.

As the investigation continues, anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the CHP at 707-6395600 or 1-800TELL-CHP.

Straight facts about omega-3s and heart health Special to The Enterprise Many people are familiar with omega-3 fatty acids, and some of those at risk for heart disease take them as dietary supplements.

However, according to a Harris Poll commissioned

by Amarin Pharma Inc., some people have limited understanding of the risks and benefits of these dietary supplements.

Heart disease is the leading killer of men and women globally, and risk increases over the age of 45, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In fact, the American Heart Association predicts 45% of the United States population will have some form of cardiovascular disease by 2035.

According to the CDC, people with diabetes are twice as likely to have heart disease or a stroke than those without diabetes, and at a younger age. To help counter their risk, almost half (46%) of heart patients and more than one-third of patients with diabetes take omega-3 dietary supplements, according to the poll. Six in 10 of those heart patients and 55% of people with diabetes consulted a health care professional before taking them, but only 45% of the general adult population taking omega-3 dietary supplements has done so.

Among poll respondents who think they are at risk of heart disease, 56% of those taking omega-3 dietary supplements believe they have been proven effective in reducing the risk of (or treating) heart disease, and 44% believe they have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat or prevent heart disease. However, this is not the case, and they have not been approved or proven effective in preventing disease.

Additionally, while men with diabetes (87%) are more likely than women (73%) to cite obesity as a risk factor, 75% are also more likely to believe fish oil dietary supplements are proven to reduce risk of CVD, compared to 58% of women.

“The volume of misinformation can be overwhelming for the average person who may not know whether or not to use omega-3 dietary supplements, let alone which dosage is optimal,” said R. Preston Mason, Ph.D., member of the cardiovascular division at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, president and co-founder of Elucida Research LLC and consultant for Amarin.

“Heart disease and other conditions like diabetes are too risky to leave to unproven products.”

If you currently take or are considering taking omega-3 dietary supplements, Mason recommends arming yourself with information about some commonly held beliefs about omega-3 fatty acids and the risks and benefits of these dietary supplements, especially in relation to heart disease risk.

FDA regulation Although roughly onethird of people surveyed reported believing omega-3 dietary supplements, which are often referred to simply as fish oil, are approved by the FDA, the FDA found fish oil supplements, which contain omega-3 fatty acids, do not meet the standards of significant scientific agreement required for a scientific health claim.

Cardiovascular disease Roughly two-thirds of people polled believe fish

oil supplements have been proven effective to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the American Heart Association advises against selfmedicating with any dietary supplements.

If you’re at risk of heart attack or stroke, work with your doctor on a plan to help reduce your risk.

Learn more at truetoyourheart.com.

Supplements and statins Statins are currently the first-line proven therapy for lowering cholesterol. However, statins, along with diet and exercise, still leave persistent cardiovascular risk.

Despite commonly held beliefs to the contrary, fish oil dietary supplements have not been proven to provide cardiovascular benefits in clinical studies.

There are multiple reasons for this: Omega-3s come in different forms and have different efficacy, safety and clinical effects, which can behave differently based on how they are manufactured, handled and administered.

Certain ingredients in fish oil supplements such as docoahexaenoic acid (DHA) may raise low-density lipoprotein, which is often referred to as “bad cholesterol” or LDL-C. Typical fish oil supplements contain only 30% of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, with the majority of the product consisting of non-omega-3 ingredients, often including saturated fats.

Fish oil supplements are considered food; according to FDA standards, they are not intended to treat diseases.

Catch the Chasing the Light exhibit Special to The Enterprise Impressionists are known for chasing the light and depicting its changing qualities in paint. The artists showcasing their work in an exciting new YoloArts exhibition, “Chasing the Light: From China to California” have come together with their mentor and internationally acclaimed master artist, Zhiwei Tu, to exhibit at The Barn Gallery in Woodland.

This exhibition marks the first time these artists have shown their work together.

The artists, from Northern California, are Eric Fei Guan, Lee Rue, Benjamin Wu, Richard Yang and master artist Tu. All are members of Oil Painters of America and Yang and Wu studied under Tu at the Guangzhou Fine Art Institute in China.

From a small mountain village in China, Tu is a wellknown artist in his native country and well regarded within the painting community worldwide. He showed artistic promise at a young age, studied painting during the cultural revolution, and eventually taught at the Guangzhou Fine Art Institute. He moved to the U.S. in the 1980s with a scholarship to Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, and began exhibiting his work throughout the Midwest. By the time he completed his MFA he was exhibiting all over the United States.

Yang and Wu reconnected with their teacher in California after they all moved to the state they now call home.

“Light was a topic all throughout our painting education, but also, America is the light. We all wanted to come here and stay and keep working on our dreams to be artists. The visual arts is kind of like a light we are chasing,” Yang said recently.

The exhibition will feature different genres of painting including still life, landscapes, and portraits.

Painting together frequently, these artists travel for plein air painting around California and recently attended a YoloArts Art and Ag farm visit in Winters where Tu painted the 100-year-old barn on the property. The farmer ended up buying the painting.

“California light is very surprising, it is so bright and colorful. Not like anywhere else,” Tu said. He has recently turned his focus to painting farm equipment and tools, and these works will be featured in the exhibition.

In 2013 Tu was awarded a lifetime achievement award from the Oil Painters of America.

“He is an incredible painter who has a unique gift and is not afraid to try different things. While many artists get into a groove and stay there, Tu is always learning and will go above board and out into the ether in his paintings,” said Neil

Patterson, past president of Oil Painters of America.

“He’s like a guru in China, well liked and well known.”

The artists will be in attendance at the exhibition’s opening, 5;30-8 p.m.

Thursday, Dec. 9. The reception will also feature music by the Dolcetto Quartet, with Dotti Egel, and Heather Thomas, violin; Melissa Lyans, viola; and Joanne Wright, cello. Light refreshments and Yolo County wines will be available.

The workshop is designed for experienced painters and include demonstrations and hands-on participation. The workshop fee is $200.

This event is free, although RSVP is required as space is limited. Sign up at yoloarts.org/.

‘King Richard’: Game, set and match

By Derrick Bang

‘King Richard’

Enterprise film critic Director Reinaldo Marcus Green’s “King Richard” is many things: an amazing underdog story, a touching family drama, a gently powerful indictment of institutional racism, and — most of all — the inspiring study of one man’s determination to doggedly persevere, despite being repeatedly knocked down … in some cases, literally.

In a stunning screenwriter debut, Zach Baylin’s sensitivity to this true-life saga is sublime; he has a keen ear for husband/wife and parent/child dynamics, and an acute awareness of how to play us viewers.

Given that Serena and Venus Williams serve as co-executive producers, there’s no doubt they’ve intended this film as a valentine to their father, and an acknowledgment of the miracle that he wrought. That said, there’s no false sentimentality here; the emotions are credible and authentic, the journey never contrived or sensationalized.

Nor is this a hearts-and-flowers depiction of the man who molded two of the world’s greatest tennis stars. Will Smith’s starring performance — certain to earn an Oscar nomination — is prickly at times: frequently admirable, but often unlikable. By all accounts (including his own), Richard Williams was very difficult to live or work with: stubborn, demanding and often unreasonable, answering solely to his own (frequently bewildering) logic and carefully crafted vision.

Smith’s portrayal is all these

Starring: Will Smith, Aunjanue Ellis, Saniyya Sidney, Demi Singleton, Jon Bernthal, Tony Goldwyn, Mikayla Lashae Bartholomew, Daniele Lawson, Layla Crawford Rating: PG-13 for violence, brief profanity, sexual candor and fleeting drug references Available via: Movie theaters and HBO Max (until Dec. 19) things, along with nobler aspects: devotion to his wife and daughters; fierce protectiveness, to the point of personal peril; a stickler for family values and a solid work ethic; a shrewd judge of character; and a pragmatic awareness of the limitations society places on its Black citizens … along with a feisty desire to circumvent such restrictions, whenever possible.

Baylin’s script covers several crucial years in the early 1990s, and concludes with a late 1994 tournament in Oakland (at which point Venus is 14, and Serena 13).

The film opens in Compton, where — despite Richard and his wife Oracene (Aunjanue Ellis) working multiple jobs — they’re able to afford only a small home; Venus (Saniyya Sidney), Serena (Demi Singleton) and their three sisters — Isha (Daniele Lawson), Lyndrea (Layla Crawford) and Tunde (Mikayla Lashae Bartholomew) — are stuffed into a

Serena (Demi Singleton, left) and Venus (Saniyya Sidney) listen intently as their father, Richard (Will Smith) emphasizes the need to give equal weight to training body, mind and soul. single bedroom, sharing beds.

The house may be modest, but it’s clean, comfortable and safe … which can’t be said for the surrounding neighborhood. Baylin quickly sketches Richard’s taskmaster tendencies: Unless Venus and Serena are at school or studying, they’re rigorously practicing — rain or shine — on a dilapidated court they laughingly dub “the country club.”

In addition to their endearing acting chops — you gotta love their dogged “game faces” — both young actresses look and move comfortably on the court (although the actual tennis action, throughout the film, is handled by carefully integrated doubles).

But although Richard dominates these workouts, Oracene is equally involved and committed.

Ellis makes her more grounded

and practical than Richard; she’s also the one person who can challenge him. She may seem patient and compliant at times, but — when Richard crosses a line — Ellis, eyes blazing, leaves no doubt that she’ll go for his jugular.

The constant training sessions and Richard’s master plan notwithstanding, Baylin and Green repeatedly emphasize how crazy the whole thing seems: Tennis is an exclusively “white” sport, practiced and played in aristocratic country clubs where the only Black faces belong to the serving staff. This isn’t merely a glass ceiling; it’s the Great Wall of China.

Baylin and Green never make a big deal of this, but the unspoken racism is pervasive, like a bad smell: unseen, but ubiquitous.

Throughout it all, Richard remains relentless, Smith’s jaw

set with an optimism that seems as unlikely as the plan itself.

Savvy viewers will reach a point, during the story’s first act, when they realize there’s only one way for Richard, Venus and Serena to punch through the seemingly impenetrable barrier.

Moving forward from that point, Tony Goldwin is all business as top coach Paul Cohen, who worked with John McEnroe and Pete Sampras; even so, that doesn’t stop Richard from repeatedly kicking in his two cents.

Goldwin is a study of conflicted exasperation: He clearly recognizes the girls’ talent, but definitely isn’t sure it’s worth putting up with Richard.

Jon Bernthal is a hoot as gungho tennis academy guru Rick Macci, who seems the sports equivalent of the guys who tour the country giving inspirational self-help talks. Bernthal makes him so effervescent that we halfway expect the man to float; every word and gesture emerges with maximum enthusiasm.

The film concludes with its most lengthy game segment, as Venus enters Oakland’s Bank of the West Classic tournament … and I guarantee you’ll be at the edge of the seat.

Must-see movies don’t come along very often, but “King Richard” is one of the rare few: heartwarming, uplifting, triumphant and a tribute to the principled persistence of a man who refuses to be stopped by locked doors.

Special to The Enterprise

Looking to start a new family tradition, or with friends? The historic Woodland Opera House in downtown Woodland has just the perfect thing for you. Something classic, yet different, that will appeal to all ages.

Share “The Nutcracker Sweet” with those you love during the holidays.

Have an attitude of gratitude

A foundation I for climate resilience

hope this final column of 2021 finds you well this holiday season. As I reflect on the year, I’m more aware than ever that this is the season for gifts and gratitude.

Let’s start off with what I’ll call a gift, but one I’m grateful to provide. We’re thrilled to welcome back the class of 2020 for its make-up graduation celebrations. I certainly recognize how difficult it was to postpone our 2020 commencements due to the pandemic. One of my daughters graduated from college that spring, and having her commencement postponed was heartbreaking.

I promised that UC Davis’ class of 2020 wouldn’t be forgotten, and I kept my word. We are holding ceremonies for 2020 graduate students on Dec. 9 and two makeup events on Dec. 10 for undergrads.

More than 1,600 undergraduates (now alumni) have registered and it’s going to be a time of great joy as they’re recognized for having achieved this major milestone in their lives. You can bet that downtown Davis will be filled with good cheer as families head to restaurants for

D

ays before Thanksgiving, unseasonably warm weather brought high winds, red flag warnings and the threat of public safety power outages to residents across Los Angeles and San Diego. In recent years, climate-driven weather events have extended fire risk and power outages deep into winter, leaving millions of Californians without power for multiple days.

More frequent and prolonged outages risk more than a turkey dinner: without electricity to power medical devices, air filters and other protective infrastructure, climate impacts such as drought, heat waves, wildfires and prolonged exposure to toxic smoke, pose significant public health risks.

While California energy regulators prepare to vote on increasing capacity of the utility grid, locally-sourced clean energy can provide an essential foundation for resilience. Clean energy and backup power at the household and community level, such as solar paired with batteries, can supply electricity when the grid goes down.

By growing these technologies in and with disadvantaged and climate-vulnerable communities, California policymakers can ensure climate resilience investments prepare at-risk populations for short-term disaster response while lowering health and climate-damaging pollution over the long term.

Individuals are making significant investments in personal resilience against smoke, the pandemic and power outages. Sales of air purifiers exploded in 2020, and the number of California homes with air conditioners grew by 7% between 2015 and 2019. In the short term, these technologies serve as important climate adaptation tools for families who can afford them, but for California’s 12.4 million low-income residents these investments are often out of reach. What’s more, many of these devices increase our demand for electricity, exacerbating the risk of brownouts and power outages.

Expanding clean energy in low-income and disadvantaged communities can help boost resilience while lowering risk, helping to meet increased electricity demand, decreasing power outages and providing backup power, all while lowering our climate impact. However, California’s disadvantaged communities face persistent barriers to clean energy: solar adoption rates are eight times lower in California’s 5% most disadvantaged communities versus least disadvantaged communities.

post-commencement celebrations.

Overall, there’s been much to be grateful for in 2021. Our return to inperson instruction has gone as safely and smoothly as possible.

Ninety-nine percent of our students are vaccinated against COVID-19.

They’re following public health requirements, as are our faculty and staff, to wear masks and test regularly. We’ve managed to keep the on-campus COVID-19 test positivity rate incredibly low throughout fall quarter.

Even with our compliance and relative success, now’s certainly not the time to let our guard down. Many public health experts are predicting a winter surge of COVID-19 as holiday travel gets underway and activities move indoors. We are going to remain ever vigilant, especially with news

about the emerging Omicron variant.

I couldn’t be more thankful to live in a city where its people are so dedicated to protecting themselves and others during the pandemic.

Through Healthy Davis Together, a joint initiative between UC Davis and the city of Davis, we’ve provided free testing services and generated trust and goodwill in our community. I applaud the Davis City Council for voting unanimously to contribute funds that extend Healthy Davis Together’s community testing program through June of 2022.

I

t’s rewarding to see our community thriving over these past months. The Mondavi Center has reawakened with wonderful performances in front of live audiences. The Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art is teeming again with creative energy and community. At one recent event, we celebrated the 101st birthday of Wayne Thiebaud, the iconic artist UC Davis faculty member, and the fifth

anniversary of the museum’s opening.

Thiebaud himself was unable to be there, but Gov. Gavin Newsom and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, along with San Francisco Mayor (and UC Davis alum) London Breed all were present. Nights like that can’t help but lift your spirits.

I’m optimistic about the months ahead. The heart of UC Davis’ basketball season will be underway, with our women’s team a big favorite to repeat as Big West champions.

And you can’t forget the return of in-person Picnic Day, which is scheduled for April 23, 2022, after two years as a virtual event. How fun it will be to see the Doxie Derby up close again, along with the marching band battles, and chemistry magic shows. Who knows, you might see LeShelle walking the fashion runway again.

We’ve gotten through a difficult year together. We have more to come, but we have further built our town-gown partnership.

I’m grateful for that gift.

T

he California Legislature’s recent approval of $100 million to fund resilience hubs in 2021 is a good start, but at $2.50 per Californian it is insufficient.

Other existing programs to expand clean energy storage tend to focus on economics and grid support rather than providing power for off-grid operations needed for resilience. What’s more, programs for climate-vulnerable and low-income communities are consistently underfunded and oversubscribed. Policy and funding must expand to support multi-day resilience, including: n Equipment-specific energy storage, including mobile solar panels for longer-term outages, to support life-sustaining medical and mobility equipment for the medically vulnerable. n Household local clean energy and backup power, especially in disadvantaged, climate-vulnerable and lowincome communities. n Community resilience hubs with solar and battery storage, and the training to procure and operate it in order to support critical functions.

Investments in local clean energy may cost more up front than traditional disaster response strategies like temporary cooling centers and diesel generators, but climate change is not a temporary threat. Recent science on the public health dimensions of wildfires, for example, shows that climate change is driving more frequent and prolonged exposure to toxic smoke and amplifying health risks for the next generation.

For disadvantaged communities like the Bay Area’s Richmond and Los Angeles’ Wilmington neighborhoods, wildfire smoke and other climate impacts are further compounded by decades of exposure to air pollution from fossil fuels and some of the highest asthma rates in the state.

Pilot projects across the state, including our partnership with Communities for a Better Environment, Asian Pacific Environmental Network, and the Strategic Growth Council on community resilience hubs, are already modeling ways to use clean energy for climate resilience in disadvantaged communities. Increasing the pace and scale of these efforts can lower stress on our energy system, reduce exposure to health-harming emissions and help communities prepare for whatever challenges climate change brings their way.

Letters A new approach Dear Governor, Here is a novel approach to the apparent excess tax dollars filling up the state coffer. Gee, instead of spending it, how about returning it back to the long suffering tax payers who are now enduring ever soaring price increases for goods and services? How about dropping or severely reducing the state gasoline tax for one year? I know this idea flies in the face of all past state practices, but give it a thought!

Build Back Better The Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was signed two weeks ago making it easy to forget that President Biden’s companion “Build Back Better” infrastructure bill still awaits Senate approval.

Many on the “safe” side of the economic divide denounce this second bill’s human “infrastructure” investments, hoping the programs designed to reverse decades of failed environmental policy and economic inequity are never realized.

Voters must not let that happen.

The economic and environmental challenges our struggling communities face require just and equitable solutions; Californians most harmed by toxic pollution and clean water shortages cannot wait. “Build Back Better” offers hope with the urgency needed to address our current challenges and protect future generations. I urge support for the bill’s clean energy and environmental protection investments along with the healthcare, childcare and education program investments needed to lift up our nation’s most vulnerable.

Please join me in contacting Sens.

Feinstein and Padilla to urge Senate passage of this transformational legislation.

14th Street test Although the headline of Wednesday’s article on the 14th Street test was about the loss of survey data, what I found even more disappointing was the admission that our testers seem to lack common sense. As we continue to suffer through the road diet of Fifth Street and the Mace Mess, we hear that the latest test surprised the designers with “creating a queue of cars … causing delays.”

While I am not a traffic engineer like those engaged in this test, I use common sense to know that when you contract lanes, you build traffic, you create a reservoir of cars. We can see this elsewhere around town. The testers are also did not see the full impact as the high school communicated well with its students to alert them of this imposed test. Many students planned ahead and avoided this area all together.

I wonder who truly is running our street department if they can be surprised with their results and how our city council allows these constraints on flow to move forward. What I hear is that this is often the case of “free money” from a state of federal grant that is burning a hole in our pocket with an expiration date so we move forward on projects such as the Mace Mess. Sometimes it is simply better to not act or use the transportation funds for actual improvement. Please do not “go back to the drawing board and test a different one.” Let my son graduate in peace.

Living in North Davis I find it easier to shop in Woodland and avoid our self-imposed tests and road diets.

Songs are written about open roads, not failed Davis Street tests.

Blue Devils pin down the Royals Enterprise staff The Davis High wrestling team hosted its first match of the season against Armijo on Wednesday.

That match was huge for the Blue Devils, who posted a 52-18 win over the Royals. There were only four matches out of the 13 weight classes.

Armijo, out of Fairfield, held a short-lived 12-0 lead. Then the Blue Devils won all but one match the rest of the way.

Winners of their matches for the Blue Devils were Joshua Prudhomme (132-pound class) by pin, just 1 minute and 24 seconds in the first round, Thomas Mueller (138), Samuel Reising (145) and Alexander McClintock (152) by forfeits, Francisco CastilloBrown (170) by pin in the second round, James Davis (182) by pin in the first round at 1:32, Aqui Pacheco-Delfino (195) by forfeit and John Bork (285) by a 12-0 decision.

“They wrestled a really, really well,” said Davis head coach John Rosendale.

The Blue Devils' next match is at River City of West Sacramento on Tuesday.

Girls wrestling Armijo posted a 30-12 win over Davis.

Blue Devil winners were Brooklin Cienfuegos (116) by pin in the first round and Avangeline Turner (143) by pin in the second round.

Don’t mess with the Dawgs T his week’s picks for the final week of the season are as follows: USC over CAL ... hard to believe these two are playing for the Pac-12 title on Championship Weekend.

What, you say, Cal and USC are not playing for all the marbles?

Ah yes, this is a makeup of a COVID-19 cancelled game and trust me, the Memorial Coliseum will be empty for this one, with the exception of one guy named Lincoln Riley sitting in the cheap seats.

UTAH over OREGON ... OK, this is the real Pac-12 championship game, but didn’t these two already decide this thing a couple of weeks ago when the Utes crushed the Ducks, 38-7?

And now they have to do it again? Seems to me if Oregon wins this time around they have to play a third and final game to determine the championship. (Actually, Brigham Young should be going to the Rose Bowl after going 5-0 against the Pac-12 this fall, including a win over Utah.)

GEORGIA over ALABAMA ... no messing with these Dawgs.

MICHIGAN over IOWA ... the Fighting Harbaughs blast through their last barrier and finally make the playoff. It’s about time.

OKLAHOMA STATE over BAYLOR ... the Bears would like desperately to spoil the Cowboys’ party plans, but the boys from Stillwater are on a roll straight into the national championship playoff.

CINCINNATI over HOUSTON ... one more hurdle and the Bearcats are in the playoff. Don’t blow it now, fellas.

SAN DIEGO STATE over UTAH STATE ... the Aztecs are loaded.

SOUTH DAKOTA STATE over SACRAMENTO STATE ... an incredibly intriguing matchup at Hornet Field. Worth a trip across the Causeway to watch these two battle it out. First team to break serve wins.

MONTANA over EASTERN WASHINGTON ... the Griz turn the tables after a close loss to the Eagles earlier this season.

NORTH DAKOTA STATE over

SOUTHERN ILLINOIS ... the Mighty Bison are peaking at the right time to make a run for their ninth title in 11 years.

MONTANA STATE over TENNESSEE-MARTIN ... the Bobcats think they have the stuff to win it all.

JAMES MADISON over SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA ... no more playing second fiddle for the Dukes.

VILLANOVA over HOLY CROSS ... the Holy Bowl of the East where Nova simply has too many horses for Anthony Fauci’s alma mater.

SAM HOUSTON over INCARNATE WORD ... Sam could win this one all by himself.

UPSET OF THE WEEK: There are no upsets this week. (Upset season record: 5-8).

ROUT OF THE WEEK: There are no routs this week. (Rout season record: 13-0).

DON’T BET ON IT, BUT: Don’t bet on any of these picks. (Don’t bet season record: 9-4).

FIVE EASY PICKS: There are no easy picks this week. (FEP season record: 59-6).

OTHER GAMES: There are no other games.

California International Marathon has returned Enterprise staff SACRAMENTO — The 38th annual California International Marathon, organized by the Sacramento Running Association, is set to return on Sunday after a year off due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The field of over 9,000 marathon runners and nearly 1,000 CIM Relay runners is expected to fill 7,500 hotel room nights and provide an estimated $10 million economic impact to the Sacramento region.

“We are thrilled to be able to bring back this important civic amenity to Sacramento,” said Scott Abbott, executive director of the Sacramento Running Association. “The year off in 2020 amplified the importance that this event plays in the fabric of this community–from philanthropy to tourism to community health to sport and entertainment culture.

“The 2021 CIM, our 'Comeback Edition', expects to deliver in all of those areas and continue to be a source of pride for our region.”

All local COVID-19 health and safety protocols will be followed throughout race weekend, including masking regulations and limited indoor capacities to ensure a safe event for everyone involved.

Additionally, all marathon and CIM Relay participants are required to show either proof of vaccination against COVID-19 or proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of the race.

Spectators are encouraged to line the course running through Folsom, Orangevale, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, Carmichael and Sacramento, and are required to follow all local COVID-19 health and safety protocols, including masking when within 6 feet of others.

In addition to the impact on local hotels, restaurants and retailers, the event helps raise over $500,000 for local charities and community organizations through leveraged fundraising and direct giving every year.

The CIM’s charity registration entries alone directly fund $50,000 of CIM donations to official race partner charities, including chief beneficiary UC Davis Children’s Hospital.

A CIM spectator guide, race day runner tracking and live results can be found on runcim.org.

UC Davis women basketball players Makaila Sanders (20) and Cierra Hall (32), seen here against Sacramento State at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento on Nov. 23, and their Aggie teammates pulled off a big win over Oregon on Wednesday.

UC DAVIS: Washington State here Saturday From Page B6 environment, and we thought we could do it, but we ended up losing. This year, to come up with all their fans here, everybody screaming against you. It's a crazy environment. It feels like tournament time.

“I don't even want to say 'upset' because I feel like we deserve to be on this floor playing with them. I have that much confidence in my team. This win feels incredible. I'm so happy to be here. I'm so happy to be celebrating with my teammates.”

Senior Sage Stobbart finished with 11 points and eight rebounds, which included a trio of 3-pointers.

Sophomore Evanne Turner added 11 points of her own to go with five rebounds and three assists.

Junior Lena Svanholm chipped in 10 points and six rebounds of 4-of-9 from the floor, while senior Kayla Konrad led all Aggies with nine rebounds and four assists to go with five points.

The Aggies led 17-14 after one following a deep triple by Marley Langi with :40 remaining in the period for the first quarter advantage, and led by as many as five in the second quarter before Oregon rallied for a one-point halftime lead, 35-34, on a basket inside by Phillipina Kyei with less than a minute remaining.

Undaunted, UC Davis came out of the locker room firing on all cylinders to start the third, trading baskets to start the third before a pair of free throws by Svanholm sparked the Aggies' decisive run, putting UC Davis up a point, 42-41.

Turner drove the lane and laid it in on her team's next possession, followed by baskets from Konrad and Svanholm for the seven-point advantage.

Stobbart then drained her second 3-pointer of the period, pushing the Aggies' lead to 10 at 51-41 with 4:47 to play in the period. Oregon scored five of the

final seven points in the period to close back to within single digits and made it a four-point game on a three-pointer by Sydney Parrish to start the fourth, but that would be as close as the Ducks would get.

Stobbart answered with a personal 5-0 run, pushing the lead back to nine with 6:48 to go, before the defense clamped down, limiting Oregon to just three field goals the rest of the way en route to the victory.

UC Davis shot just under 39 percent from the floor for the game and were even on the boards with 39 rebounds apiece against a long Oregon squad, which featured the likes of 6-foot-8 Kyei and 6-foot-7 Sedona Prince.

Prince and Ahlise Hurst shared team-high honors with 11 points each.

The Aggies return to the floor on Saturday at 4 p.m., taking on their second-straight Pac-12 opponent in Washington Statethe University Credit Union Center.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE — FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2021

Football

Aggies RB Gilliam enters transfer portal Enterprise staff UC Davis first-team all-Big Sky running back Ulonzo Gilliam has entered the transfer portal and has likely played his last game as an Aggie.

If so, the dynamic two-time team captain out of Merced High School will leave as the No. 2 rusher and No. 9 receiver in UC Davis history.

Gilliam, who had 901 yards in the just-completed season, finishes his career with 3,435 rushing yards, just 154 yards shy of all-time leader G.P. Muhammad (1995-98).

As a receiver, Gilliam had 35 grabs for 223 yards this fall, giving him 164 in his career for 1,045 yards.

He finishes his career with 31 rushing touchdowns and added seven more scores as a receiver.

Gilliam burst on the scene on Aug. 30, 2018 in the season opener at San Jose State, when he rushed for 132 yards and added 59 more as a receiver as the Aggies upset the FBS Spartans. That year, he was named as a Hero Sports Freshman All-American.

He led the Big Sky with 1,249 yards rushing in 2019, finishing ninth nationally on the ground.

His best rushing day came at Portland State on a rainy November afternoon in 2019 when he rolled up 242 yards.

Combining rushing and receiving, Gilliam had 22 games of 100 yards or more in his Aggie career, including 128 in his final game at South Dakota State on Nov. 27.

UC Davis takes down the Ducks Enterprise staff EUGENE, Ore. — Last season, the UC Davis women's basketball team found themselves ahead of nationally ranked Oregon after three periods, only to have the Ducks rally in the fourth quarter en route to a sixpoint win.

On Wednesday night, the Aggies found themselves in the same spot; However, this time, there would be no such comeback.

Leading by seven with the fourth quarter ahead of them, the Aggies held the No. 18/16 Ducks to just 21 percent shooting from the floor over the final 10 minutes - including an 0-for-8 drought over the final 2:56 - and leveraged an 11-0 thirdquarter run into a lead they would not relinquish to upset nationally ranked Oregon, 64-57, at Matthew Knight Arena.

“The word I'm thinking about right now is just 'pride,'” Aggie head coach Jennifer Gross said after the game. “We put games like this on our schedule to give our players the opportunity to compete against some of the top teams in the country and they were excited to do that. As soon as we got here, I could tell our team was really ready for the game.

“I'm just really proud of our group. It was a total team effort. Everything started on the defensive end with our rebounding and I thought we did a great job of executing our defensive game plan.”

It was the first win over a nationally ranked opponent in 23 tries in UC Davis' Division I history and the 10th over a Power Five school in that same span — eight of those coming against Pac-12 Conference opponents. The Aggies improved to 4-2 overall on the year with their

“The word I’m thinking about right now is just ‘pride.’”

Jennifer Gross UC Davis women’s basketball head coach third consecutive win.

Meanwhile, UC Davis handed the Ducks their third-straight defeat and their first non-conference home loss in nearly seven years - a run of 44 consecutive wins dating back to a 68-59 loss to Fresno State on Dec. 21, 2014 while holding Oregon to a season-low shooting percentage (.344).

“Coming into this game we knew that we weren't going to be afraid,” Gross said. “It was just a matter of could we make enough shots and can we shut them down. We've been in this situation where we've been so close, and we've talked about beating a top-25 team and we haven't been able to close it out. Tonight, looking in their eyes, we talked about staying loose and just finishing it. This was a team that was ready to do that.”

Senior forward and reigning Big West Conference Player of the Year Cierra Hall led a balanced scoring effort, finishing with 13 points, five rebounds, and three assists, in the victory, pacing a group of four UC Davis players in double figures and seven in the scoring column overall.

The performance put the Cypress native just 20 points shy of 1,000 for her career.

“I think I'm in disbelief,” Hall said following the victory.

“Last year, we came up here with no fans, a completely different

UC Davis guard Elijah Pepper slides past two Pacific players in Wednesday’s non-conference game at the University Credit Union Center. Pepper sprinkled in big baskets that gave the Aggies a 63-57 win over the Tigers.

Pepper sprinkles men to win

By Bob Dunning Enterprise staff writer Elijah Pepper buried three longrange bombs in less than two minutes to break up a tie game and give the UC Davis Aggies a dramatic 63-57 non-conference men’s basketball win over the University of the Pacific Wednesday night at The Pavilion.

UCD is now 3-3 on the young season, while the Tigers fell to 4-4.

The Aggies, making amends for a disastrous loss to Academy of Art on Sunday, turned back every challenge the Tigers threw at them, finally taking control on Pepper’s late-game heroics.

Pepper finished with 30 points, with nine of those coming on three long treys after Pacific had tied the game at 52 with 2:58 remaining.

Two of those daggers were launched as the shot clocked ticked down to zero while the Aggies were milking the clock.

“I’m a little start stuck at this point,” Pepper said afterward.

“My teammates just happened to find me with the ball at the

right time. We had to come out and win this game and it didn’t matter how we did it. I just took what was given to me.”

An elated Aggie head coach Jim Les said he was not surprised by Pepper’s late-game heroics.

“I’m fortunate that I get to see him in practice every day,” Les noted.

“Eli lives for the moment. He never shies away from it. I’m a big believer that if you respect the game like he does and work as hard as he does that the game will give back to you.”

Pepper was 6 of 11 from long range for the game, including two 3-pointers during a 16-3 Aggie run that produced a 36-21 lead at the half.

“I really liked out energy in the first half,” Les added.

“We need to come out from the opening tip every game and we did that tonight. That was Aggie basketball.”

Les knew his team needed a game like this to overcome Sunday’s disappointing loss to Academy of Art. “I told our guys let’s embrace

the adversity and don’t hide from it. Nobody’s feeling sorry for us.

The good teams respond and that’s what we did tonight.”

It wasn’t easy in the second half, however, as the Tigers roared back with a 3-point display of their own to tie the game at 42 and again at 52.

Three times Pacific had a chance to take the lead, but each time the Aggies turned them away.

And then Pepper took over.

“We didn’t panic, and we stayed true to ourselves,” Les added.

“We took everything they threw at us and executed at the end. I really liked our intensity and how much our bench contributed.”

Ezra Manjon added 14 points as the only other Aggie in double figures. Aaron Murphy had seven rebounds to lead UCD to a 34-24 advantage on the boards.

UCD returns to action Saturday in a 2 p.m. game against UC Merced as part of a doubleheader with the Aggie women, who host Washington State in the afternoon’s second game.

How to upgrade bathroom safety features (LOCAL) PRO TIPS

B

athrooms can benefit from updates that improve their form and function. While styles and color patterns may inspire bathroom renovations, improvements to safety also should be considered.

Bathrooms can be one of the most dangerous rooms in a house. Bath and shower areas account for about two-thirds of accidental injuries in these spaces. Many other injuries involve the toilet. In 2008, a thorough investigation of bathroom dangers conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that mishaps near the bathtub, shower, toilet, and sink caused an estimated 234,094 nonfatal injuries in the United States among people aged 15 years and older.

"Unfortunately, there are many hard and durable surfaces that can be slippery when water is introduced to the bathroom environment," says Marty Morse, owner of Davis-based Morse Custom Homes & Remodeling. "Having the right type of textured and non-slippery surfaces near the shower and the toilet areas can greatly improve the risks of injury at these areas. The bathroom is definitely a focal point for safety improvements for all types of users. The finishes for these types of upgrades have become more trending in current design aesthetics."

Seniors are particularly vulnerable in the bathroom due to reduced mobility and flexibility, visual impairment and other factors. However, some key modifications can make bathrooms much safer for aging populations.

• Raised toilet seat: Install an ADA-compliant raised toilet seat. Standard toilet seats are roughly 15 inches high, but elevated seats can raise the bowl an additional two to four inches. Another option is to invest in risers that can be attached to an existing toilet.

• Grab bars: Seniors may use towel holders as grab bars, which don't have stability and can dislodge from the wall.

Install secured side grip bars by the toilet and inside the shower to make maneuvering easier.

“This is the number one item for assisting users that are aging in their homes. There are many types of grab bars that don’t resemble grab bars. They are basically towel bars, but installed with proper hardware and structural backing behind the wallboard," says Morse. "Additionally, we have installed

grab bars that can be mounted on the wall behind a toilet and can be rotated out of the way when not required for use at the toilet.”

• Water temperature: Seniors may be vulnerable to hot water temperatures. Lower the water temperature setting on the hot water heater. StaySafe.org recommends 120 F. • Faucets: Change faucet handles to paddle-style handles rather than knobs. Knobs can be challenging to grip for those with arthritis in their hands. Also, handles that are easier for seniors to use can reduce the risk of the elderly losing their balance as they attempt to gain leverage to turn the water on and off.

• Nonslip mats: Nonslip mats or tape strips can be used in showers and tub bottoms, as well as outside of the shower to reduce the risk of slips and falls. Rugs should have rubberized, slip-resistant backing.

• Rounded corners: Choose counters and fixtures with rounded corners. Should a senior fall against something, the rounded corner may prevent serious injury.

• Shower benches and transfer seats: Benches and transfer seats make it easier getting in and out of the shower. Also, sitting while showering reduces the risk of becoming lightheaded or losing balance.

"With proper planning and product selection, bathroom renovations can be both aesthetically pleasing and also provide necessary safety measures for aging in place," notes Morse, the local remodeling expert. "It is important to take aging-in-place modifications into consideration when planning a bathroom renovation project."

• Walk-in tubs/showers: Minimizing the threshold to the shower or bathtub is an important safety feature. Some manufacturers make walk-in tubs with doors that secure and make watertight seals. Showers that don't have a lip or tub to scale also are better for seniors.

• Lighting: Eyesight weakens over time, so improve lighting with combinations of overhead lighting and softer side lighting. Night lights or soft-glowing toilet lights can make it easier to get around the bathroom in the middle of the night.

These are just some improvements that can create safer bathroom environments for seniors.

What to know about refinancing a mortgage HOME FINANCE

H

istorically low interest rates have made now a good time to be a homeowner.

According to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, also known as Freddie Mac, the average interest rate on a 30-year fixedrate mortgage in mid-September 2021 was 2.86.

Just ten years earlier, the average rate was 4.09.

That's a significant dip, and one that's saving today's homeowners tens of thousands of dollars over the life of their mortgages.

Interest rates dipped during the pandemic and have remained low ever since. That's unlikely to last forever, which has given many homeowners a sense of urgency regarding refinancing.

Refinancing can be financially advantageous, but there are some things homeowners should know prior to contacting their lenders.

Refinancing does not always save money over the long haul It's hard to blame homeowners who jump at the chance to refinance their mortgages. Refinancing is often associated with significantly lower monthly payments, and such savings can be used to finance home improvements, pay for tuition or build retirement nest eggs. However, homeowners won't necessarily save money over the long haul if they're refinancing an existing 30-year mortgage with another 30-year mortgage.

The mortage experts at Mortgage Calculator note that a Change Terms mortgage refinance is characterized by a shift to a loan charging a lower interest rate. The initial savings with such a refinance are undeniable, but changing from one 30-year to another 30-year restarts the mortgage clock, which can add years to the time homeowners will be repaying their debt.

As a result, homeowners may end up paying more interest over time than they might have had they just kept their initial mortgage. Homeowners interested in a Change Terms refinance may want to look into switching from a 30-year to a 15-year mortgage. A shorter term mortgage will increase the monthly payment, but the loan will reach maturity much faster, greatly reducing the amount of interest homeowners will pay over the life of the mortgage.

Refinancing can be costly Lower monthly payments might be the number that catches homeowners' eyes as they look to refinance, but it's important that homeowners recognize that refinancing is not free. In fact, the personal finance experts at Kiplinger note that refinancing incurs many of the same costs that homeowners had to pay when they signed their initial mortgage papers. That includes fees, taxes and appraisal costs. These costs are sometimes paid up front, but they also might be rolled into the loan balance. In the latter instance, homeowners could be paying interest on their refinancing costs. Homeowners who are refinancing solely because of lower interest rates should know that some lenders raise interest rates to compensate for refinancing costs. That can negate the savings and end up costing homeowners more money than the original mortgage.

Refinancing is an option for homeowners who want to save money. Homeowners can speak with a financial advisor to determine if this is the best way to save money over the long haul or if refinancing will ultimately cost them more over the life of the mortgage. —Metro

OPEN HOMES SATURDAY • DECEMBER 4 EAST DAVIS 186 Full Circle • $245,000 1PM - 3PM • LYON REAL ESTATE/Marcelo Campos

CENTRAL DAVIS Pending home sales jump 7.5 percent in October across U.S. • Contract signings increased 7.5 percent in October from September, a reversal of last month's decline.

• Compared to the prior month, contract signings increased in all regions.

• Compared to one year ago, contract signings were 1.4 percent lower.

Pending home sales increased in October, rebounding after a decline the month prior, according to the National Association of Realtors. Contract activity rose monthover-month in each of the four major U.S. regions. On a year-over-year basis, however, transactions were split, as two regions reported drops and two others posted gains.

The Pending Home Sales Index (PHSI), a forward-looking indicator of home sales based on contract signings, rose 7.5 percent to 125.2 in October. Year-over-year, signings fell 1.4 percent. An index of 100 is equal to the level of contract activity in 2001.

"Motivated by fast-rising rents and the anticipated increase in mortgage rates, consumers that are on strong financial footing are signing contracts to purchase a home sooner rather than later," said Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist.

"This solid buying is a testament to demand still being relatively high, as it is occurring during a time when inventory is still markedly low.

"The notable gain in October assures

that total existing-home sales in 2021 will exceed 6 million, which will shape up to be the best performance in 15 years."

While the market is expected to remain robust, Yun forecasts home prices will rise at a gentler pace over the course of the next several months and expects demand to be milder as mortgage rates increase.

Realtor.com's Hottest Housing Markets data revealed that out of the largest 40 metros, the most improved metros over the past year, as of November 18, were OrlandoKissimmee-Sanford, Fla.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla.; Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas; and Nashville-Davidson, Tenn.

Regional breakdown Compared to the previous month, contract signings rose at the strongest pace in the Midwest and South regions. Monthover-month, the Northeast PHSI increased 6.9 percent to 99.5 in October, a 10 percent drop from a year ago. In the Midwest, the index climbed 11.8 percent to 124.6 last month, up 5.1 percent from October 2020.

Pending home sales transactions in the South rose 8.0 percent to an index of 149.7 in October, up 0.6 percent from October 2020. The index in the West grew 2.1 percent in October to 107.5, down 6.2 percent from a year prior.
