Canine wonderland

By Caleb Hampton Enterprise staff writer As a public health precaution, UC Davis will shift all classes online from Jan. 3-7, the first week of winter quarter, chancellor Gary S. May and provost and executive vice chancellor Mary Croughan announced Tuesday afternoon in a letter to the campus community. The decision was prompted by growing concern over the highly contagious Omicron variant of COVID-19. “We continue to believe that our primary focus must be the health and wellbeing of our campus,” May and Croughan said. “Given that, we are adjusting our plans for winter quarter in several ways.” The winter quarter will open remotely in order to give students, staff and faculty time to secure a negative COVID-19 test before attending classes or reporting for work in-person on Jan. 10. The update to UC Davis’ COVID19 precautions was announced several hours after University of California President Michael V. Drake emailed the university system’s campus chancellors Tuesday morning, asking each of them to develop a plan in response to the spread of the

State commission approves final redistricting maps

Davis will see change in Congress

By Sameea Kamal

Enterprise staff writer

CalMatters California voters have the brand-new districts they’ll use to elect their members of Congress and state legislators, after the state’s independent redistricting commission voted unanimously Monday night to approve its final maps. These districts take effect with the June 2022 primaries and continue for the next decade. Redistricting happens once every 10 years, after every census, to ensure that each district has the same amount of people. It’s the second time

Garamendi to seek reelection in Contra Costa; Thompson will run in new 4th District Residents of much of Yolo County, including Davis, will have new representation in the United States House of Representatives beginning after the 2022 midterm elections. On Monday, California’s independent redistricting commission approved its final maps, shifting Davis from the 3rd district of California to the 4th. Every 10 years, districts are redrawn according to census figures to ensure that each district has an equal number of people.

that California’s redrawing is being done by a 14-member independent commission. But it hasn’t been easy, or without contention. In addition to balancing population numbers, the commission must comply with the federal Voting Rights Act, ensuring that no minority group’s vote is drowned out. And to create fair maps, the commission didn’t consider current district lines and isn’t supposed to weigh partisan politics. In some cases, it puts incumbents into the same district, or

Briefly Fire damages home in South Davis The Davis Fire Department is investigating the cause of a house fire that displaced the residents Monday. Battalion Chief Roland Pussich said the residents of the Miwok Place home summoned help shortly after 2:30 p.m., reporting they had seen a fire in the kitchen microwave. Fire crews arrived to find smoke coming from the roof area. “The fire had basically gone up an interior wall,” requiring firefighters to tear into the wall and roof area in order to control the blaze, Pussich said. No injuries were reported.

UCD studies guns’ link to violence Special to The Enterprise SACRAMENTO — Researchers at the UC Davis Violence Prevention Research Program have shown that handgun owners who have been charged with intimate partner violence (IPV) — abuse or aggression in romantic relationships — are much more likely to commit other violent crimes. That includes crime index offenses, such as murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault. These results affirm prior research that showed IPV is a major risk for future offenses. The new study was published in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence. “Compared to handgun purchasers who had no criminal history at the time of purchase, those with an IPV criminal history had significantly increased risk of subsequent arrest for any violent and IPV crimes,” said Liz Tomsich, a researcher at VPRP and first author on the paper. “A history of both IPV and non-IPV, compared to no criminal history, demonstrated the strongest association with post-purchase arrest.” About 33% of women and 28% of men in the U. S. report physical violence by a current or former intimate partner. In addition, one in four women and almost one in seven men are victimized by severe physical intimate partner violence during their lifetimes. When an offender

has access to a firearm, a fatal IPV is five times more likely. The severity of nonfatal IPV also increases. The researchers examined 76,311 California adults who legally purchased a handgun in 2001, following this cohort through 2013. Each member was included if they had one or more arrest, charge or conviction for assault, battery, intimate partner rape or violating a domestic violence restraining order prior to their firearm purchase in 2001. The study focused on charges for violent crime index offenses, any violent crimes and IPV crimes. One possible concern the study illuminated is that a small number of offenders who should have been banned from owning firearms were still able to obtain them. “There are implications on improving the background check process,” said Tomsich. “We found 27 of the 53 purchasers with prepurchase convictions entered the cohort despite active or lifetime prohibitions related to their offenses.” The research also showed that people with IPV-only histories were at greater risk of committing a subsequent IPV crime than were those with non-IPV criminal histories. These results show handgun purchasers with IPV histories are at greater risk of re-arrest for IPV than those with nonIPV histories. Bob Dunning is taking the day off. The Wary I returns Sunday.

Briefly Masseur sent to state prison WOODLAND — A former Woodland massage therapist received a maximum sentence of 15 years in state prison last week, stemming from his October conviction for sexually assaulting multiple clients. A jury found Fermin Robles Perez, 55, guilty of multiple felonies including sexual penetration by fear or duress, sexual penetration of an unconscious person, sexual battery by fraud and sexual battery by restraint, according to a news release from the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office. Perez also must register as a sex offender for the remainder of his life. His attorney, Jesse Ortiz III, could not be reached for comments about Friday’s sentencing hearing. Perez came to law enforcement’s attention on July 1, 2020, when a woman reported that Perez had assaulted her during a massage at the Woodland Chiropractic and Wellness Center on Court Street. A police press release announcing Perez’s arrest resulted in eight additional women coming forward to report similar conduct, dating back to 2013, during massages at both his business and his home, prosecutors said. All nine women testified at Perez’s multiweek trial on 35 charges, of which the jury convicted him of 16, acquitted him of four and were unable to reach verdicts on the remaining 15 following six days of deliberations. “We are grateful for the survivors who came forward and shared their experiences both at the trial and at sentencing,” District Attorney Jeff Reisig said. “Because of their bravery, justice was served for them and the other women who were victimized by Perez.”

CHP plans max enforcement The holiday season is upon us, and the California Highway Patrol is reminding everyone to put safety first and follow the rules of the road while traveling California’s roadways. CHP officers launch their Maximum Enforcement Period at 6:01 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 24, and continue it through 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 26. During that time, all available officers will be on the road for enhanced enforcement and to assist any motorists or pedestrians in need of help. According to data from the CHP’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System, at least 38 people were killed in crashes in California throughout the Christmas holiday enforcement period last year. During that 78-hour Maximum Enforcement Period, CHP officers made 573 arrests for driving under the influence. “The CHP will be out on California’s roadways while the public travels to join friends and family this weekend,” CHP Commissioner Amanda Ray said. “Our goal is the same as yours, to make certain you arrive safely at your destination. From our family to yours, we wish you all a safe and happy holiday.”

MAPS: ‘Redistricting is sort of a two-part fight’ From Page A1 forces others to appeal to new voters to be re-elected. Particularly on the congressional level, that could help shift the balance of power between Democrats and Republicans. In the U.S. House, three California Democrats are among the 23 Democrats nationally who have already opted not to run for re-election in 2022. Combined with redistricting done by Republican-led legislatures in other states, that could tip the House in favor of the GOP. Some California Democrats have blasted the “unilateral disarmament” of their power, though an initial analysis by the Cook Political Report says the new congressional map helps Democrats. The commission’s deliberations have been different from the last redistricting, in 2011, in large measure due to advances in technology, plus social media, particularly Twitter. In 2021, it is far easier for advocacy groups and others to submit their own maps — and respond to mapping decisions in real time. As they did live line-drawing, commissioners referenced these maps, along with the feedback they were getting. The commission was under the pressure of a court-ordered deadline to submit the maps to the secretary of state by Dec. 27 despite a nearly six-month delay in the release of census data. In the last few weeks, the panel held a number of marathon sessions late into the night to hear public comment and try to incorporate competing testimony into the maps. Commission chairperson Alicia Fernández acknowledged that there were constraints and disagreements along the way, but said she was proud of the commission’s work given the rules they were under. “There was robust discussion in terms of how these maps should be drawn. We know that not everyone will be happy, but I feel that they are fair maps for Californians,” she told CalMatters. Now, the maps must sit for three days for public input, though no further changes are permitted, said

The new California congressional districts put most of Yolo County (excluding West Sacramento) in District 4. Fredy Ceja, communications director for the commission. In the meantime, the commission will complete its final report to deliver to the secretary of state. Even after that happens, the new districts are likely to be challenged in court. And their real impact depends on what voters decide. James Woodson, policy director for the California Black Census and Redistricting Hub, said the fight for Black political power in California is far from over. “Census and redistricting is sort of a two-part fight,” he said. “First, it’s making sure that resources came to our community and making sure they had an opportunity to win political power. Now, it’s about getting out the vote in 2022 and the long-term policy pieces that are moving.”

Congress Slower population growth in California means the state lost one of its 53 U.S. House seats this year — though COVID-19 may have caused an undercount of Black and Hispanic residents. That added another challenge to deciding congressional districts. The population numbers must be exact: There can’t be more than a one-person difference between districts to make sure everyone is represented equally. Trying to meet all the criteria — equal population, Voting Rights Act compliance, communities of

While congressional districts each have about 760,000

While the Democratic majority in the state Senate might shrink under the new map, Democrats’ grip of the Assembly could tighten. They now hold 60 of the 80 seats. The new Assembly map creates 63 solid Democratic seats, according to an analysis by California Target Book. According to the analysis, two Democratic-majority districts in Southern California become stronger Republican districts; they’re now represented by Republican Phillip Chen of Brea and Democrat Cottie Petrie-Norris of Orange County. Another two flipped from Republican to Democratic-majority districts; they’re represented by Republicans Janet Nguyen of Huntington Beach and Marie Waldron of Escondido. Advocates for the LGBTQ+ community said the maps include big victories across California. In the Assembly map, bringing Hollywood and West Hollywood together gives the community a chance to elect a representative from the community, said Samuel Garrett-Pate, managing director of external affairs with Equality California, adding that the group’s former director, Rick Chavez Zbur, was well-positioned to run.

interest and compact districts — in a state with California’s diverse population and geography made the task difficult. To keep California’s less populous mountain communities together, for example, an earlier version of the maps showed a district stretching from the Oregon border to San Bernardino County. While compactness is one of the lower-ranking criteria, the district still raised eyebrows and was later revised. Also drawing attention: How redistricting can topple the political dominoes. On Dec. 16, Democratic Rep. Alan Lowenthal announced he would not seek reelection. The next day, Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia declared for the seat and quickly rounded up support. And on Monday Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard of Downey, who in 1992 became the first Mexican-American woman elected to Congress, announced that she is retiring after her current term after she was redrawn into the same district with Garcia. The growing power of Latino voters — and recognizing that in the new maps — has been a constant theme of the redistricting process. A projected 16 of the 52 House districts have a Latino voting-age population of at least 50%.

people, state Senate districts are larger, with nearly 1 million Californians. For example, one encompasses California’s entire border with Mexico. There’s also more leeway — a 5% deviation from the ideal population. That means that, while the commission tried not to put communities with competing interests together in other maps, it paired some in the Senate map, such as Fresno and Kern counties. Three Senate districts are going from a Democratic advantage in voter registration to a Republican majority, while one favors Democrats more. Republicans need to flip at least five seats in the Senate, or seven in the Assembly, to end the supermajority that allows Democrats to approve tax increases or put constitutional amendments on the ballot without a single GOP vote.

Celebrate Christmas in cathedrals I

count myself fortunate that I have experienced many of the great churches of the Western world and to a lesser extent famous mosques and synagogues. Few of these places are built to a human scale, but are clearly designed to interpret the idea of a house of God for God. Many such places were built centuries ago using the power only of humans, human ingenuity and horses — and built at the extreme edge of technology that was known at the time of their construction. They are humankind’s tribute to their God and extraordinary structures. Cathedrals are places of awe that do their best work when the mighty organ plays and the weight of sensory overload falls fully upon eyes and ears and you can feel the vibrations and taste and smell the ages rising from the stone. It is clear then that we are not in the presence of our gentle ever-loving God but in the presence of Almighty God our Maker.

And it’s best to do that at Christmas to celebrate His great gift to the world. I have not experienced Christmas at Canterbury or York or Salisbury or Ely but there was one Christmas that for me rates high on that scale at St. Cyprian’s church at Hay Mills (you can find that on Google). St. Cyprians was our parish church and built of red brick in the Neogothic style. It has pointy stained-glass windows in a clearstory and a spire and nave and chancel and choir and a magnificent organ. It was a real church, not a box with a high roof. It was built about 1870 close to his factory by an industrialist who grew rich making wire rope; I guess, the church was a place where his employees could forgive him. For some unknown reason St. Cyprian’s at Christmas resurfaced in my memory this Advent, arising from many years ago when I was a small boy. Here is that story. My dad was a Christian man who loved his God,

served his church and lived his faith in every way he could throughout his active life: first as a member of the Church Army and after marriage as a licensed lay-reader in the Church of England. In those days the Church of England had too many churches or too few priests; lay-readers, who were empowered to conduct Evensong, rode a circuit bringing that service to churches lacking their own clergy. Dad loved doing that and I remember every Thursday evening he would sit at his desk and write out, in full, his sermon for the coming Sunday. I have his desk with me here in Davis, but sadly I have none of his sermons because my Mam burned

Weaver is Da Vinci Student of the Month Name Droppers Special to The Enterprsie

Da Vinci Charter Academy’s Student of the Month for December is Addie Weaver. “Addie is new to Da Vinci this year,” English teacher Kait Sangster wrote, “and yet she embodies everything we value in our students.

“Addie is a team player. She works well with all personality types. “She is patient and supportive. “Her peers recognize her kind nature and ask to be paired with her. “Addie is also a force of

an academic. She invests fully in the learning goals, asking thoughtful questions along the way and consistently approaching tasks with creativity. “She has made the transition to a new school and new community look easy, and the DV community is stronger with her in it!”

the lot when he died. Mam and I went along on these adventures that I enjoyed because my dad put on a good show. As many Welshmen do, Dad had an excellent singing voice with an unwavering true pitch. In hymn-singing he always sang the harmony line not the melody although he could not read a note of music. He used that rich baritone to sing the Evensong service, that is he intoned it or chanted it at a level well above spoken pitch. In all my years of churchgoing in the USA I have never heard that done. And it’s magical.

t once, you realize why the liturgy is written the way it is: it is written in convenient iambs so that it can most easily be sung or chanted. Then you realize that for hundreds of years vast churches had no microphones or loudspeakers so that words could not be heard throughout the church

space if merely spoken. But a sung service in an old church with the organ in attendance is memorable and at Christmas especially because the imagery and message are so powerful. I remember such an Evensong service close to Christmas at St. Cyprian’s church with my dad in charge in cassock and surplice. There was a slight haze in the church perhaps seeping in from the fog outside or from the condensed breath of so many in that icy church and, as the last notes of the prelude from the victorious organ echoed and died, there was a hushed silence that whispered to us as it can only in old and airy places. Then the single-pitch note from the organ sounded that melted into Dad’s voice with the greeting “Dearly beloved …..” and then we are away with Christmas carols reaching the rafters and joy in the air and rosy cheeks. Dad’s singular voice between carols “Let us pray ….” And more carols and Psalms and lessons and the ser-

mon and the Magnificat “My soul doth magnify the Lord ….” And pretty soon it’s all over and the choristers file out, the piping boys first then the men and women. And finally my smiling Dad with shining eyes full of the joy of what he has helped to happen. And as the organ roars the postlude I just sit there wondering how I can take this rich and contenting Christmas moment with me out into the whirling world. I guess I managed to do that because I have remembered it to recount here. Christmas is a magical time. I hope even in these dark and difficult Christmas-tide days we all can find our way to a church with an organ and a choir and let the sound and sense and power of Christmas flow over us. Joy to the world and Merry Christmas to all! — Reach Michael Lewis at lewiswales@me.com. Comment on this column at www.davisenterprise. com.

ONLINE: Davis campus sets tight schedule CONGRESS:

Lines change every 10 years

From Page A1 Omicron variant. “The emergence of this new and fast-moving variant, coupled with student travel to and from campus and the prevalence of gatherings over the holidays, will present our campuses with a unique set of public health challenges as we begin the new year,” Drake said. “I am asking each of you to design and implement a plan for a January return to campus that mitigates public health impacts, responds to the unique circumstances facing your campus, and maintains our teaching and research operations.” Several UC campuses announced Tuesday that they will begin winter quarter with two weeks of remote instruction, a larger window to screen for the virus than UC Davis has given itself. UC Davis’ widely acclaimed rapid testing program, which uses saliva samples to screen for COVID-19, will play a major role in getting students promptly back into classrooms. “Due to your hard work and your inspiring dedication, UC Davis remained open throughout fall quarter while maintaining an extremely low COVID-19 infection rate,” May and Croughan said. Despite the luxury of the testing program, campus leaders emphasized that the task of testing the entire campus community within a one-week

period will require cooperation and push the program to its limit. “We need to work together to get this done quickly in order to keep our campus healthy,” May and Croughan said. They urged students and employees to be proactive and not wait until the last couple of days to get tested. The campus leaders also said UC Davis community members shouldn’t see the shift in operations as an extended vacation, as delayed return travel to campus could cause outbreaks of the virus. “For those people who leave the Davis area over winter break, it is critical that you return before Jan. 3 so that you can get tested soon after your arrival,” May

and Croughan said. The campus administration also announced it will maintain its biweekly testing requirement through winter quarter, reversing course on pre-Omicron plans to scrap the COVID-19 testing requirement beginning in mid-January. “We are now going to maintain our fall-quarter requirement: testing every two weeks for those people who are fully vaccinated and testing every four days for those people who are not vaccinated,” May and Croughan said. Lastly, the campus leaders clarified that the university’s existing COVID-19 vaccine mandate requires students, staff and faculty who have not obtained an exemption to get a

booster shot of the vaccine. “A person is considered ‘fully’ vaccinated when two weeks have passed since they completed a COVID-19 Vaccine series,” the UC’s SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination Policy states, “as well as any boosters consistent with manufacturer instructions and applicable agency approval.” UC Davis students, staff and faculty will need to provide proof that they have received their COVID-19 booster shot by Jan. 31. “If you have not already received a booster, we strongly encourage you to do so over winter break,” May and Croughan said. — Reach Caleb Hampton at champton@davisenterprise. net.

Garamendi highlighted the temporary Expanded Child Tax Credit, the recent infrastructure bill, which includes funding to expand I-80 and reduce traffic, and the American Rescue Plan that was passed in response to the pandemic. “I have devoted my life to public service, and I will continue fighting for you every day,” Garamendi said. “I want to continue fighting for a bold, progressive, and transformative vision of America — and I would be honored to have your support.” Meanwhile, the Napa Valley Register reported Tuesday that Rep. Mike Thompson, D-St. Helena, will run for another congressional term in California’s new 4th district, which includes all of Napa and Lake counties and parts of Yolo, Solano and Sonoma counties. “I was born, grew up, and have lived my entire life in the newly numbered 4th Congressional District. The outpouring of support I’ve received is humbling and I’m looking forward to working with state and local leaders on the challenges we face,” Thompson said in a press release. First elected to Congress in 1998, Thompson is a member of the House Committee on Ways and Means. He represented Davis’ district from 2002 until 2011 and the last round of redistricting. — Reach Caleb Hampton at champton@davisenterprise.net. Follow him on Twitter at @calebm hampton.

Obituaries Jeffrey Michael Schouten d. Dec. 2, 2021

It is with immeasurable sadness that the family of Jeffrey Michael Schouten announce his sudden passing on Dec. 2, 2021, at the age of 50. Jeff was born in Escondido to Joy Mack and Peter Schouten. In 1974, the family moved to a dairy in Dixon. The cherished stories told of adventures growing up with his siblings, cousins and friends on the farm are endless. Jeff graduated from Dixon High in 1989, where he excelled in sports, including football, baseball and basketball. He went on to attend UC Davis, earning his bachelor’s degree in organizational studies in 1994. After graduation, Jeff spent time in Texas with his father working on his dairy. He later returned to California and began work with his stepfather, Tom Galindo, in the family farming business. For the next 11 years, he developed his farming skills and a passion for agriculture in the Sacramento Valley. During this time, his son Aidan was born in 2007, followed by daughter Avery in 2009, and daughter Alexis in 2012. Jeff saw fatherhood as his greatest life achievement, and the pride he felt for his children was endless. The knowledge and experience gained at Galindo Farms paved the way for Jeff to move on professionally to Olam, a processing tomato cannery, and then on to HM.Clause as farm manager of the Davis research station. In 2019, he began a new phase of his career with the company becoming the Global

Processing Tomato Product Manager. Jeff was incredibly passionate about the processing tomato industry and was pivotal in making tremendous inroads in market share for the company. His limitless dedication to his job and his team was evident and appreciated by all his associates. Working for HM.Clause brought Jeff and the love of his life, Adrienne, together in 2014. The following year, they blended their separate family units together into one crazy, loud and loving family of eight. In 2017, Jeff and Adrienne were married and welcomed Callum into their lives as the final piece to complete their family. Jeff was the ultimate family man, and nothing made him happier than spending time with Adrienne and the kids, enjoying the simple things in life: swimming, gardening, cooking up a feast or settling in for family movie night. Jeff had a passion for life and an incredible ability to see the positive out of just about any situation. He had an infectious laugh and was the kind of person that people naturally gravitated towards. Jeff loved fishing of any kind, but especially flyfishing. Vegetable gardening was his daily passion, spurred on by his neverending goal of producing the hottest pepper possible. His efforts resulted in constant battles around the dinner table of who could eat the most of his fiery produce. The beach was Jeff ’s happy place; he and Adrienne spent as much time as possible there watching the surf with toes

in the sand. He was a lifelong diehard Raiders fan; Sunday footSCHOUTEN ball game gatherings were a festive and joyful respite for the whole family. Jeff followed his beloved team closely and was an ardent and dedicated member of his long-term fantasy football league. Jeff is survived by his wife, Adrienne; their son, Callum (4); and his children from a previous marriage, Aidan (14), Avery (12), and Alexis (9), and stepchildren, Kyle Difuntorum (20), Caden Difuntorum (18) and Alayna Difuntorum (10). He is also survived by his parents, Joy and Tom Galindo, and Peter and Nova Schouten; brothers Peter (Angela) and Jason (Stephanie); sister Erin Terpstra (Pieter); and stepsiblings Gina White (Barry) and Jeffrey Galindo. Additionally, he is survived by a large extended family of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. We will all miss him, and his mammoth bear hugs, dearly. Services will begin at 12:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 7, 2022, at the Davis Cemetery, followed by a celebration of life at El Macero Country Club at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations in Jeff ’s name to the American Heart Association, www. heart.org.

Virginia Joan Mason 1928 — 2021

“Joan” is remembered as a loving, vivacious, funny and creative person, dedicated to creating the good life for herself, her family and her friends. She loved to cook, and made a lifelong study of the art and science of food. She specialized in international cuisine which was a wonderful gift to her family and friends. Joan was an avid reader who consumed a book a week on a wide range of topics, enjoying novels, history, biography and more. She was an enthusiastic traveler, always planning her next trip, eager to

enhance her view of the wider world. She traveled throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and Central and South America, and reflected her passion for travel in the artifacts that made the spirit of her home. Joan was also a lifelong learner, achieving her degree in anthropology later in life and subsequently participating in a number of archeological digs. She loved singing and dancing, and participated in community theater. Her family and friends remember her beautiful voice and her scene stealing

performance as “Bloody Mary” in “South Pacific,” among other perMASON formances. Born in California, she lived in Wisconsin, Florida, South America and Louisiana. Joan is survived by her husband of 73 years, William Mason, and their children Todd (Imelda), Paula, Nicole (Glen Gibson) and Hunter (Owen Howlett). She also leaves behind 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She will be missed by all those who loved her.

Davis, thank you for helping prevent the spread of COVID-19. Healthy Davis Together began with a goal to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and support the safe, gradual return to regular city activities and student life. It’s been a success—because of you. As a community, you all came together to protect loved ones by social distancing, wearing masks, getting tested and vaccinated, and supporting local businesses as they adapted to new health and safety protocols. As you gather with loved ones over the holidays and start the new year, remember that COVID-19 and its variants are still here. Keep doing your part by getting vaccinated, getting a booster when eligible, and getting tested before and after traveling or gathering. COVID-19 tests and vaccines are safe and free, and vaccines are available to everyone ages 5 and older. Healthy Davis Together community testing will continue into 2022 for all ages. To see the special holiday testing schedule, visit HealthyDavisTogether.org.

Have a safe holiday season and happy New Year!

Restoring roots in a new era

Keep funding every part of R public health

By Nancy and Don Price Special to The Enterprise

By Jim Wood and Genoveva Islas Special to CalMatters

hen Cultiva La Salud partnered with Saint Agnes Medical Center to deliver vaccines to farm laborers in rural Fresno County — where essential workers were placing their lives on the line to feed us despite growing infections and deaths — no one told them a nonprofit shouldn’t be promoting health in their community. When the Ukiah Valley Conference Center volunteered to host an emergency vaccine clinic after a freezer failure at Adventist Health Ukiah Valley, which meant vaccine doses needed to be administered immediately, no one said a conference center isn’t public health. And when three public schools in Los Angeles’s Compton neighborhood partnered with the St. John’s Well Child and Family Center to bring vaccinations to the community — where COVID-19 rates were high and vaccination rates were some of the lowest in the county — no one told them it wasn’t their job. That’s because we are all a part of public health. And — as COVID-19 has proven — public health works best, and for the most people, when we are all working together. That’s why organizations from across the state are working together to make sure that California keeps funding every part of public health, through a $300 million budget allocation that has been promised every year beginning in 2022. This money would fund the public health and equity infrastructure that would keep communities healthy, build community power and acknowledge that we all have a role to play in public health. And that’s why it’s critical that this funding stay in the governor’s proposed 2022-23 budget, which is being drafted right now. A minimum of $100 million of this allocation has been promised to a Health Equity and Racial Justice Fund, to aid community-based organizations that have been on the ground addressing systemic racism and improving health in their neighborhoods for decades, but who rarely have reliable, ongoing funding. The fund could offer dedicated resources, provide more livable wages to staff and support community-led, communitydriven solutions to the health and justice issues that matter most to them.

t could go to groups like Mujeres Poderosas Amorosas, a network working with immigrant Latinas in Fresno County to prevent domestic violence. By centering efforts on healing and building self-love and worth, they are countering a history that devalues immigrant women. Through place-based advocacy and creation of equitable opportunities they are helping to promote greater community safety and independent futures for vulnerable immigrant women. Mujeres Poderosas Amorosas is informing local decision-makers on the deficits of restrictive rental assistance programs that are failing to prevent evictions among the most vulnerable. They are also shaping school food operations during the pandemic and supporting grocery deliveries to elder Latina immigrants throughout Fresno County. They are lifting themselves up through service to others, building health and justice in their neighborhoods, and creating a network of powerful, loving, women whose expertise and contributions will long outlast the pandemic. The budget allocation would also help support public health infrastructure; it could help replace the 11 laboratories that the state has lost since 1999 and rebuild the out-of-date data systems that we depend on for actionable information. And it could make sure that we have a fully staffed public health workforce that looks like the communities it serves — by supporting partnerships like that between the Worker Education Resource Center and Los Angeles County, who are working together to create career pathways for community health workers/promotores, contact tracers and other COVID response workers, so they can secure permanent employment after the pandemic. Each of these organizations plays a critical role in public health — from trusted community leader to clinical provider to local health department staff. None of them could do it alone. By keeping their promise, dedicating $300 million a year in the 2022-23 budget to these efforts, and guiding at least $100 million of those funds to community-based organizations, California’s leaders would support the role that all of us play in creating a healthier, more just California — for the long term. — Assemblyman Jim Wood, a Democrat from Santa Rosa and a dentist, represents the 2nd Assembly District. Genoveva Islas is executive director of Cultiva la Salud. They wrote this for CalMatters.

ecently the Yolo County Planning Commission held two public hearings on the proposal submitted by Teichert Materials to carve a new open-pit gravel mine on the 319-acre Shifler farm, 3 miles west of Woodland along lower Cache Creek. If approved, the proposed gravel mine would operate six days per week for 30 years. Climate advocates, the Yolo County Farm Bureau, neighboring residents of the Wild Wings community and others concerned about the project’s many environmental impacts spoke and submitted letters to the Planning Commissioners. After more than 10 hours of discussion, the commission voted 4-2 this month to recommend dramatically scaling back the project to protect prime farm land. Citizens raised concerns about formation of toxic methyl mercury sediment in the deep, wet pits already lining lower Cache Creek, risk of contaminated fish, and the potential that such deep mining could puncture holes in the groundwater table and contaminate the water supply. “This decision signals we are in a new era of planning for resilience and cannot ignore irreversible impacts to land, water and public health. Land that can be used to grow tomatoes and wheat to feed people should be used as if our lives depended on it — because they do,” observed Alessa Johns, a concerned citizen and retired UC Davis professor. Many readers may not realize that gravel mining in Yolo Country goes way back to the 1870s. By the 1970s, concerns arose over the impact of open-pit mining in the main Cache Creek channel. It took until the mid-1990s for the county, the mining industry including Teichert, and a group of concerned citizens to restrict mining to outside of the main channel, create the Cache Creek Conservancy, and begin a program of remediation and restoration.

Existing gravel mining along Cache Creek.

Commentary And importantly, Native Californians were able to have a small area in the Cache Creek Nature Preserve dedicated to the Tending and Gathering Garden, a former mined pit slowly being restored based on traditional knowledge and cultural practices — replanted with native elderberry, yarrow, redbud, cattail, tule, grey willow and Valley Oak. This area has attracted bobcats, Grant garter snakes back, and a new sighting — a Patwin fox mink. School children and families enjoy trips there to learn about native history, culture and the on-going critical ecological research.

ecently, I learned that a documentary story-telling project about Cache Creek was produced in 2012. “Restore/ Restory: A People’s History of the Cache Creek Nature Preserve” is available at: https://restorerestory.org The website aims to forge a shared “sense of place” based on just and sustainable stewardship of our natural and cultural resources. More than 200 people participated, every section is rewarding to watch — the interviews, historical timeline, the founding of the Friends of Cache Creek

organization in the mid1980s, the 1995 creation of the Cache Creek Conservancy, the1996 Cache Creek Restoration Management Project, the 1998 Cache Creek Nature Preserve, and in 2000 the Tending and Gathering Garden. The “Restore/Restory” timeline makes clear that most all of us are “new” residents of a land inhabited over thousands of years by indigenous Patwin groups and their descendants who continue to live in the area today. Please listen here (https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=hOnn-a5LksY7 t=1337s ) to the recent Storywalk in the Patwin-Wintun Tending and Gathering Garden at the Cache Creek Nature Preserve with Educator and Culture Bearer Diana Almendariz including Pam Gonzales and Zack Emerson, former restoration manager for the Cache Creek Nature Preserve. Traditional Ecological Knowledge is being widely recognized as critical for effective ecological restoration and stewardship to lead us into this “new era” of climate crisis and meet the county’s 2030 goal of a Just Transition to real sustainability and carbon neutrality. The Tending and Gathering Garden is an example for reclamation of all the

gravel pits and the land. Diana Almendariz says, “ We gotta build it, infuse it with its natural health, and WE CAN DO IT!” This is a busy time of year, yet it is absolutely worth your time to watch these two fascinating videos to learn about the history of Yolo County and listen to the personal stories, explore the Cache Creek map and the Tending and Gathering Garden. Since 2012, efforts to regulate gravel mining, reclaim the deep pits and mined land leads us into this “new era.” Much remains to be accomplished: most of all a renewed commitment to a “sense of place.” Of equal importance, we must meet the challenge of the climate crisis in our county and our cities, an effort fundamental to planning in this “new era.” On Jan. 11, the Board of Supervisors will hold an online public hearing on the Planning Commission decision to scale back the Teichert-Shifler project. Sign the petition before the meeting at https://chng.it/ fJWfym9Gx6 or email presspauseteichert@gmail. com. — Nancy and Don Price are longtime residents of Davis and members of Citizens for Responsible Mining of 1995-1996.

Nfl

San Francisco continues its winning ways By Mike Bush Enterprise sports editor SANTA CLARA — More than two years later, Jimmy Garoppolo and the San Francisco 49ers got back at the Atlanta Falcons. The 49ers' defense also contributed as well. Together, the 49ers grounded the Falcons 31-13 in Sunday's game at Levi's Stadium. That victory keeps San Francisco (8-6) at its No. 6 spot in the NFC for the NFL Playoffs. Atlanta goes to 6-8. “You just have to take advantage when you get that chance,” said Garoppolo, who completed 18-of-23 passes for 235 yards and a touchdown. “I think the guys realize that. And, more and more, week in and week out, it's becoming bigger and bigger.” Leading 17-10 at halftime, the 49ers expanded it to 24-10 at 11:11 in the third quarter when running back Jeff Wilson Jr. scored on a 5-yard run. Robbie Gould booted the point-after-touchdown made it 24-10. The Falcons were inside of the 49ers 10-yard line

three times in the second half. The only points produced was a Younghoe Koo 22-yard field goal to make it 24-13. Then Garoppolo connected with wide receiver Jauan Jennings of 4-yards. Gould's kick made it 31-13. The Falcons turned the ball over on their first offensive drive in the fourth quarter. Give thanks to the 49ers' defense, as Atlanta reached the San Francisco 9-yard line. The 49ers punted twice in the quarter but took enough time off the clock to beat the Falcons. No complaints from 49ers tight end George Kittle, who had six receptions for 93 yards in the game. “They're playing at a high level,” said Kittle of the 49ers' defense. “They're off the field pretty quick.” On Dec. 15, 2019, the Falcons beat San Francisco 29-22 at Levi’s Stadium.

added. “But they’d come at us in the last five seconds and hit a layup. “And our defense is what leads to our offense,” he explained. “So it's tough to get into a rhythm on the offensive end when you’re not getting the stops you need on the opposite side.” Davis High gets this week off for Christmas

before returning to action on Tuesday, Dec. 28 at the Fairfield Holiday Classic Tournament. The Blue Devils are set to open their tournament slate on against a Liberty Ranch team with an identical 5-4 record at 5 p.m. Liberty Ranch is Galt's second high school that plays in the Sierra Valley Conference. The Blue Devils

coaching staff hopes to have 6-foot-7 center Keandre Burns healthy for that matchup. Burns has sat out the Devils first nine games, nursing an injury. After competing at the Fairfield Holiday Classic Tournament, Davis begins Delta League action on Wednesday, Jan. 5 at home against Jesuit. On Friday, Jan. 7, Davis

hits the road for its first league game at Cosumnes Oaks of Elk Grove. Davis will play a combined three Friday league home games this season; Jan. 14 against Sheldon and Feb. 11 versus Pleasant Grove. Notes: In the Curry championship game, Fairfield’s Rodriguez High defeated Will C. Wood of Vacaville, 55-31.

With its win, Del Oro improved to 9-4. An impressive turnaround following the Golden Eagles’ rocky 1-10 effort this past spring. Del Oro is part of the Sierra Foothill League. — Owen Yancher is the former sports editor at the Enterprise. Follow him on Twitter: @dhspunter.

Les Curry Invitational

Blue Devils can’t find footing against Del Oro By Owen Yancher Enterprise correspondent It was the small stuff that came back to bite the Davis High boys basketball team on Saturday. Dropping its Les Curry Invitational finalé to Del Oro, 64-56, the Blue Crew trailed from start to finish in the tournament’s battle for third place. But the locals had several chances to pull ahead, thanks, in part, to the rough and tumble play of point guard Colin Walsh — who fought through the pain of a foot injury to lead Davis with 14 points. “Colin and our senior group, they lead by example,” Blue Devil coach Jonathan Whitcomb told The Enterprise. “He had a bruise on his foot, but he put a pad on it at halftime and came back like a warrior.” Eating into a seven-point halftime deficit, Walsh led an 8-0 Davis run to start the third quarter that saw Davis High pull within one point of the Eagles.

Recording his sixth outing this winter with 10-or-more points, Walsh made a pair of key steals. But, again, those small miscues — namely unforced turnovers and missed rebounding opportunities — worked to stunt the Devils’ progress. “There’s a lot to improve on,” added junior guard Noah Salmon, who supplied 12 points in the loss. “But we’re up and coming. “It’s still early in the season, so we’re still working on building that chemistry.” Younes Chantit tossed in 10 points and Aidan Crawford finished with five as Davis dropped to 5-4 overall. The Blue Devils had fallen to Rodriguez on Friday evening, 70-58, despite Jackson Isidor’s team-high 13 points and a season-high 10 via Collin Carpenter. “Both games, there were a few possessions where we played really great defense for 30 seconds,” Whitcomb

Big West Conference

Aggie forward Cierra Hall (32) looks to pass the basketball to a teammate in Sunday’s game against Gonzaga.

Hall nets honors Enterprise staff A career milestone as part of a record-tying performance along with a clutch outing against one of the nation’s top teams helped net UC Davis women’s basketball player Cierra Hall as Big West Conference Player of the Week laurels on Monday. Hall, the first Aggie to be honored this season, picked up her fourth career weekly honor from the league office and her first since Feb. 15, when she helped engineer a pair of victories over previously unbeaten Long Beach State during the spring season. The cell biology major from Cypress averaged 13.8 points and 8.3 rebounds per game in helping UC Davis win two of three games. She shot .467 (14-for30) from the field overall against Stanislaus State, No. 3 Stanford and a Gonzaga team that was receiving votes in the USA Today coaches poll and ranked No. 4 in the College Insider mid-major poll. Hall opened the week with an 11-point, 16-rebound performance against Stanislaus State on Dec. 13, in the team’s first game back from final exams, as she became the 21st player in school history to reach 1,000 career points. She also matched the school’s Division I single-game rebounding mark, which was set by teammate Sage Stobbart against Saint Mary’s on Nov. 13. After scoring eight points and grabbed four rebounds at Stanford on Dec. 15, Hall helped the Aggies put together one of the largest comebacks in school history, scoring a season-high 22 points on 7-of-9 from the field and grabbing five rebounds as UC Davis erased a 17-point deficit en route to a 69-66 win over the Bulldogs on Sunday. The 17-point rally on Gonzaga was the UC Davis’ largest since it came from behind from 17 to defeat Hawai’i 58-50 in the 2019 Big West Tournament championship game. For the season, Hall is averaging 12.3 points, 7.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. She is shooting 40 percent from the field and 35 percent from beyond the arc. Finishing the non-conference season with a 6-4 record, the Aggies take a short break for the holidays before returning to the court to open Big West play on Tuesday, Dec. 28, at UC Riverside. UC Davis then hosts Hawai’i on New Year’s Day at 2 p.m. at the University Credit Union Center.

UC Davis women shock Gonzaga Enterprise staff Cierra Hall finished with 22 points and sophomore Evanne Turner poured in 20 more, helping the UC Davis women's basketball team rally all the way back from 17 points to defeat visiting Gonzaga, 69-66, on Sunday at the University Credit Union Center. “A game like this shows what kind of team we're capable of being,” said UC Davis head coach Jennifer Gross. “We're a program that's never satisfied with the status quo. We will take this and learn from it and build on it so we're playing our best basketball in March.” The Aggies improved to 6-4 with the win, collecting their first win over the Bulldogs in the history of the series in the first meeting between the two since the 2008 Women's National Invitation Tournament. “This is really a great win for us and it's the reason we play Stanford and Oregon and Gonzaga and teams like this,” Gross said. Gonzaga, which was receiving votes in the latest USA Today coaches poll and ranked fourth in the College Insider Mid-Major poll, fell to 8-3 overall. Hall hit 7-of-9 from the floor, 3-of-5 from the 3-point line and 5-of-6 from the line. That added up her season-high total, grabbing

five rebounds, three assists and a key block with 75 seconds to go, which led to two free throws and turned a one-point Aggie advantage into a three-point lead. Turner hit 8-of-12 overall from the floor and drained four 3-pointers to collect her seasonhigh in the point column. She scored 16 of those 20 in the second half and 13 of those in the third quarter alone. The Aggies' Kayla Konrad added 12 points and six rebounds to go with three assists in 37 minutes, hitting 5-of-8 from the field. UC Davis found itself down 17 with 1:24 remaining in the first half and trailed by 15 points at 40-25 at the break before mounting its comeback. After the Bulldogs scored the opening basket of the third quarter, a 3-pointer by Hall sparked a 10-0 run that made it a seven-point contest at 42-35 with 7:25 remaining. A 9-2 run by Gonzaga pushed the lead back to 14, but the Aggies finished the quarter with a similar burst capped by a buzzer-beating three by Turner to make it 58-50 heading into the final quarter. The Bulldogs' advantage crept back to double figures to start the fourth, but UC Davis was relentless as Konrad scored inside

and drained a 3-pointer on the team's next possession, followed by a three-point play by Lena Svanholm that brought the Aggies to within two at 62-60. That set the stage for Hall, pulling up and draining a jumper to tie the game at 62-62 with just over four minutes to play. Kempton hit a pair from the line on the Bulldogs' last trip down the floor to regain the lead, but that would be the last for Gonzaga. Turner drained another 3-pointer for the lead the Aggies would not relinquish, as Hall drained her two free throws and Konrad hit another for a fourpoint advantage. Hall hit another from the line to make it a five-point game and the defense stood tall. Kempton hit two free throws with five seconds remaining and Gonzaga tied the Aggies up after a timeout, giving the Bulldogs one more chance. The inbound came to Kaylynne Truong who moved into the front count and unleashed a heave right before the buzzer that missed wide. Hall corralled the rebound as time expired to seal the victory. UC Davis shot 16-for-25 (.640) in the second half, and outscored Gonzaga, 44-26. The Bulldogs to just 1-of-14 in the fourth quarter.
