Council OKs Pole Line project By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer

The public and press will be allowed to attend in person, but due to COVID, access and seating will continue to be limited, masks and social distancing will be required and meetings will continue to be livestreamed. Legislative staffers are being given more flexibility to work from home,

Construction may be just months away on 30 new for-sale homes that will fill a currently vacant site on Pole Line Road. The Davis City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved a proposal by developer Don Fouts to build 30 attached, single-family homes at 715 Pole Line, the former location of Sierra Health Care Center. The convalescent home was abandoned several years ago and later demolished. The 30 homes will sit on lots ranging in size from 1,517 square feet to 3,236 square feet on either side of a single road extending west from Pole Line. The location is across the street from the Rancho Yolo senior mobile home park, with an apartment complex to the south and single-family homes to the north and west. All of the homes will have at least three bedrooms and 2½ bathrooms and 24 of the 30 homes would have fully accessible bedrooms on the first floor. Each home will have a one-car garage and one parking spot on the driveway.

CalMatters Another coronavirus variant spreading like wildfire, and another huge state budget surplus: In some ways, 2022 is off to a similar start as 2021. That could carry over to the state Legislature’s new session that started Monday. In addition to the pandemic and surplus, California is dealing with some of the same big issues it

“Our challenges continue to be the challenges that we have started and built momentum to work towards,” Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins, a San Diego Democrat, told CalMatters. The difference? Looking at key issues more through a lens of equity, she said.

The state Assembly’s agenda shares those priorities, said Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, D-Lakewood. Access to health care will be another focus: “We’re proud of where we are as a state, but we need to make sure that everybody in the state is covered.” Where will things look a little different?

HDT sets new testing schedule Schools work to ramp By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer Healthy Davis Together is implementing a new community COVID-19 testing schedule effective Sunday. Testing will still be available seven days a week, but locations will vary in terms of days and hours, options for walk-ins and types of testing. “The program and schedule changes reflect collective strategic decisions made in collaboration with the cities of Davis, West Sacramento and Woodland as well as the Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency to effectively allocate staff and resources and serve the needs of the community,” a press release from the city of Davis announced. The Research Park testing site in Davis as well as the Norton Hall site in Woodland will provide testing Sundays through Thursdays, while the Veterans Memorial Center in Davis and West Sacramento City Hall will offer testing

Tuesdays through Saturdays. Mobile testing units will be deployed later this month to offer free COVID-19 testing in Esparto and Winters. Both Davis testing locations, as well as Woodland’s and West Sacramento’s, will continue to provide testing by appointment or walk in, though appointments are recommended to minimize wait times. The sites will have different lines based on whether or not testers have appointments, symptoms or exposure to COVID-19. The UC Davis campus testing site at the ARC will continue to offer asymptomatic testing seven days a week by appointment. Other than the ARC location, all Healthy Davis Together testing sites will continue to offer saliva-based PCR testing for people with or without symptoms and exposure to COVID-19. At most

Briefly Genealogists focus on 1950 On Jan. 18 at 1 p.m., the Davis Genealogy Club will meet via Zoom to hear "Getting Ready for the 1950 Census: Searching With and Without a Name Index" by popular returning speaker, Steven Morse. Genealogists and armchair family history buffs are getting excited about the upcoming release of the Federal Census of 1950. When this census is first released in April 2022 (after the required 72 year waiting period), it will not have a name index. Finding people in the census will involve searching by location instead. Morse will help us to prepare to dig into this great resource as soon as possible! Come learn about Federal Enumeration Districts (EDs) and how a street address can be converted to an ED to help you find your people in 1950 and see what their lives were like. Morse’s OneStep website contains numerous tools for obtaining EDs. Morse is the creator of the One-Step Website for which he has received numerous awards from the greater genealogy community. Davis Genealogy Club meetings take place on the third Tuesday of most months, and guests are always welcome as capacity allows. For a guest pass, email President@ DavisGenealogy.org.

City Council OKs purchase of ladder truck By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer The Davis City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously in favor of purchasing a $2.15 million aerial ladder truck for the city’s fire department. The vote came 10 months after the council directed staff to move forward with securing a detailed cost estimate for a truck as well as developing plans to modify the downtown fire station to accommodate it. Indigo Hammond+Playle Architects, which was already hired by the city to design a kitchen remodel for that fire station, will handle the ladder truck modifications as well. The total project cost for the remodels is estimated at $1.01 million. The council on Tuesday also voted in favor of using American Rescue Plan funds to add three new firefighters to the city payroll in order to staff the truck, though that vote was not unanimous. Councilman Will Arnold favored an alternative option that would have added six new firefighters. Under both options, ARP funds would cover three years of additional staffing after which the General Fund money would be used. The estimated cost for three additional firefighters is $686,000 per year plus future contractual and benefit cost increases, according to city staff, while six firefighters would cost $1.3 million, though a portion of that — as much as $403,000 — would be offset by savings on overtime. Arnold said he was concerned that going with three firefighters instead of more would exacerbate overtime use. “There’s the bottom line cost of overtime, you’re paying more for the same amount of service, but then there’s also the human cost of being overworked and

It’s awfully difficult to go the other way, which is to start at the higher end of the staffing spectrum and work down if we needed to be responsive to budgetary reductions or cuts in some way. “So what we’re suggesting is a path forward that starts us smaller … and focuses on acquisition of the equipment, modifications to the station, which are more of the one-time, additional costs, and then more modestly with the staffing costs with the ability and recognition that the city could always ramp up if

and when the time seems appropriate to do so.” Currently the city relies on the UC Davis Fire Department when it needs a ladder truck — something that occurred 115 times during 2020 — and if that ladder truck is not available, seeks one from neighboring jurisdictions that also have them, including Woodland and West Sacramento. “It really becomes a geographic challenge,” Fire Chief Joe Tenney told the council last March. “If something is not available, we have to reach a little further. A few times over the past few years, we’ve had to reach out to Vacaville to get resources to come in and help us and I see that as a trend.” When the UC Davis ladder truck is not available, he added, the typical response time for a ladder truck from Woodland or West Sacramento is about 15 minutes. Tenney and council members believe as the city continues to grow upward, with buildings getting higher and higher, a ladder truck that can reach seven stories will be critical.

The city has approved a number of buildings between four and seven stories tall in recent years, from Creekside and Sterling to Davis Live and University Commons. Councilman Dan Carson noted Tuesday that future plans for downtown as well as infill elsewhere could include zoning that allows buildings up to seven stories high and asked Tenney if the a ladder truck would “be of benefit to potential future occupants of those high rises.” “Yes, it is a benefit,” said Tenney. But it’s not just about the ladder, he said. “(It’s) a very specialized piece of apparatus,” he said of the truck, “that does a lot of work on any fire, even for a single-family residence. They do a lot of the ventilation and the salvage and overhaul. They carry special tools and a lot of different things to be able to do that. “And sometimes if you can’t get the aerial ladder in position, it carries a complement of ground ladders that can reach up to the third-story roof. So oftentimes if they can’t get into

correct position because of electrical wires, trees or other things that might be in the way, they’ll use the ground ladders to gain access to the areas they need to.” Vice Mayor Lucas Frerichs called the acquisition of a ladder truck “an insurance policy.” “We increasingly have seen development of certainly three-, but also four-, five-, six-, seven-story buildings in the past couple of years,” Frerichs said. “We’ve seen need for the UC Davis ladder truck to assist structure fires… so I really think it’s important for us to proceed with this important piece of equipment.” Carson said he agreed. “Part of the reason we are out to rezone the downtown is so it becomes the economic powerhouse for this community that we want as well as a place for infill housing that will be environmentally sustainable. And if we’re going to go up to seven stories as is quite possible with this plan, we do have an obligation to make sure that we have the equipment to do so safely. As well as to protect us in other parts of the city.” Carson added that his preference would have been a collaboration with UC Davis on a ladder truck “but they have not, to this point, been willing to join hands with us in this effort and so we’re left with a tough decision about making this investment. But I think it is a reasonable and important investment to make.” The council ultimately voted 5-0 to authorize purchasing the ladder truck and 4-1 to add three new firefighters. Arnold, who favored hiring six new firefighters, was the lone vote against the staffing plan. — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@ davisenterprise.net. Follow her on Twitter at @ATernusBellamy.

UC Davis study challenges evolutionary orthodoxy By Emily C. Dooley Special to The Enterprise A simple roadside weed may hold the key to understanding and predicting DNA mutation, according to new research from UC Davis and the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Germany. The findings, published today in the journal Nature, radically change our understanding of evolution and could one day help researchers breed better crops or even help humans fight cancer. Mutations occur when DNA is damaged and left unrepaired, creating a new variation. The scientists wanted to know if mutation was purely random or something deeper. What they found was unexpected. “We always thought of mutation as basically random across the genome,” said Grey Monroe, an assistant professor in the UC Davis

Department of Plant Sciences who is lead author on the paper. “It turns out that mutation is very non-random and it’s non-random in a way that benefits the plant. It’s a totally new way of thinking about mutation.” Researchers spent three years sequencing the DNA of hundreds of Arabidopsis thaliana, or thale cress, a small, flowering weed considered the “lab rat among plants” because of its relatively small genome comprising around 120 million base pairs. Humans, by comparison, have roughly 3 billion base pairs. “It’s a model organism for genetics,” Monroe said. Work began at Max Planck Institute where researchers grew specimens in a protected lab environment, which allowed plants with defects that may not have survived in nature be able to survive in

a controlled space. Sequencing of those hundreds of Arabidopsis thaliana plants revealed more than 1 million mutations. Within those mutations a nonrandom pattern was revealed, counter to what was expected. “At first glance, what we found seemed to contradict established theory that initial mutations are entirely random and that only natural selection determines which mutations are observed in organisms,” said Detlef Weigel, scientific director at Max Planck Institute and senior author on the study. Instead of randomness they found patches of the genome with low mutation rates. In those patches, they were surprised to discover an over-representation of essential genes, such as those involved in cell growth and gene expression. “These are the really important

regions of the genome,” Monroe said. “The areas that are the most biologically important are the ones being protected from mutation.” The scientists found that the way DNA was wrapped around different types of proteins was a good predictor of whether a gene would mutate or not. “It means we can predict which genes are more likely to mutate than others and it gives us a good idea of what’s going on,” Weigel said. The findings add a surprising twist to Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection because it reveals that the plant has evolved to protect its genes from mutation to ensure survival. “The plant has evolved a way to protect its most important places from mutation,” Weigel said. “Wwe could even use these discoveries to think about how to protect human genes from mutation.”

Remembering a pioneer By Sara Thompson Special to the Enterprise

G Hippie

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

Felicity Among them is Felicity (A189577), an 8-year-old female black Lab who has been at YCAS for six months, still patiently waiting a family. Felicity walks gently on a lead and is friendly, loyal, mellow and calm. She knows basic commands and loves with her whole heart. Also hoping for a good home is Hippie (A19158), a 4-year-old male orange-and-white cat. This darling boy and his siblings recently lost their home. Hippie can live with other cats but his favorite place to hang out is right by your side, especially in bed. Hippie is a lovebug, playful and a purr machine. For information on adopting, contact adoptycas@gmail.com. All shelter animals are upto-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed or neutered. The shelter is closed to the public for nonemergencies but the staff is available to assist at 530-668-5287 during new temporary hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Mondays to Fridays and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays. For information, visit www.petfinder.com/ member/us/ca/ woodland/yolo-countyanimal-services-ca283. At Rotts of Friends Animal Rescue, you’ll

find Chloe, a young spayed female Doberman. She is super-sweet, smart, housebroken, crate-trained, healthy and energetic. Chloe will be the perfect angel for some lucky person or family. Tobi is a darling, freckled-faced 20-pound, 3-year-old spaniel mix. He’ss shy at first but is soon your best friend. He walks well on leash and knows commands. He’s playful, loves others and is a joy to be around. Tobi will do best in a home with no small children. The next Rotts of Friends’ adoption event is from 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 15, at 34505 County Road 29 in Woodland. Come by 10 a.m., as it takes at least an hour to meet and adopt a dog; everyone who will be living with the dog should come out to meet it.

ertrude B. Elion was born on Jan. 23, 1918, in New York. She attended a public school near her home with her brother and enjoyed all her courses equally. As she neared her graduation she was thinking of her future and what major to pursue in furthering her education. She attributes her decision to a moment in her mid-teens. She helped care for her grandfather while his health was failing and was with him when he passed away from stomach cancer. Her time caring for him inspired her to pursue science, with a goal to find a cure. She attended Hunter College after graduating high school at 15 years old. Because of her high grades she was able to attend college for free. In 1937, she graduated with a degree in chemistry. Because she was a woman, she could not get a job as a researcher. She worked as a high school teacher and secretary to earn some money, while working an unpaid position in a chemistry lab for the experience. She was able to save some money and attend New York University, pursuing a graduate degree. Even though she was the only woman in her graduating class and struggled through some hardships because of it, she received her master’s degree in chemistry in 1941. During World War II, jobs were scarce so Elion worked where she could, sometimes only having a job for a few weeks or months. She eventually found a research position in a laboratory assisting Dr. George Hitchings. He appreciated her hunger for knowledge and gave her increasing responsibilities and included her more in his research. Together they developed a new method of medical drug testing. Instead of doing trial-and-error methods on patients, they used biochemical research on cell samples to see how they reacted to different drugs. They would then use their knowledge of metabolism and

chemistry to adapt and change the drugs to be more effective. These methods were successful in creating drugs that would destroy or inhibit pathogens without harming the heathy cells. These breakthroughs led to the first treatments of leukemia and other cancers, bacterial infections, malaria, gout, organ transplants and more. All of the research Dr. Hitchings and Elion did lead to further research in the medical fields. In 1988, Elion received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, along with her colleagues Dr. Hitchings and Sir James Black, for the important new principles of drug treatment. At the time Elion was only the fifth female Nobel laureate in medicine, and the ninth in science overall. She continued to research and develop drug treatments until her death in February 1999. Her contributions helped in developing modern research and development in drug treatments and for the first medicines in several ailments, including cancers. ———— Explorit’s coming events:

UCD: Dried goji berries may help aging eyes By Lisa Howard Special to The Enterprise

All dogs adopted from Rotts of Friends are healthy, microchipped, up-to-date on their vaccines and come with free lifetime obedience-training classes.

Regularly eating a small serving of dried goji berries may help prevent or delay the development of agerelated macular degeneration, or AMD, in healthy middle-aged people, according to a small, randomized trial conducted at the UC Davis. AMD is the leading cause of vision loss in older people, and is estimated to affect more than 11 million in the United States and 170 million globally. “AMD affects your central field of vision and can affect your ability to read or recognize faces,” said Glenn Yiu, a co-author of the study and an associate professor in the Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences. The researchers found that 13 healthy participants aged 45 to 65 who consumed 28 grams (about one ounce, or a handful) of goji berries five times a week for 90 days increased the density of protective pigments in their eyes. In contrast, 14 study participants who consumed a commercial supplement for eye health over the same period did not show an increase. The pigments that increased in the group that ate goji berries, lutein and zeaxanthin, filter out harmful blue light and provide antioxidant protection. Both help to protect the eyes during aging. “Lutein and zeaxanthin are like sunscreen for your eyes,” said lead author Xiang Li, a doctoral candidate in the Nutritional Biology Program.

Study finds a small serving of goji berries increased protective pigments in the eye that may help prevent or delay the development of age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision loss in older adults. “The higher the lutein and zeaxanthin in your retina, the more protection you have. Our study found that even in normal healthy eyes, these optical pigments can be increased with a small daily serving of goji berries,” said Li. The study was published in the journal Nutrients. Goji berries are the fruit of Lycium chinense and Lycium barbarum, two species of shrubby bushes found in northwest China. The dried berries are a common ingredient in Chinese soups and are popular as herbal tea. They are similar to raisins and eaten as a snack. In Chinese medicine, goji berries are said to have “eye brightening” qualities. Li grew up in northern China and became curious whether there were any physiological properties to “eye brightening.” “Many types of eye diseases exist, so it is not clear

DAVIS GLASS & SCREEN

which disease ‘eye brightening’ is targeting,” said Li. She researched the bioactive compounds in goji berries and found they contain high quantities of lutein and zeaxanthin, which are known to reduce the risk of eye diseases related to AMD. The form of zeaxanthin in goji berries is also a highly bioavailable form, according to Li, meaning it is readily absorbed in the digestive system so the body can use it. The current treatment for intermediate stages of AMD uses special dietary supplements, called AREDS, that contain vitamins C, E, zinc, copper and lutein and zeaxanthin. No known therapy has yet been shown to impact early stages of AMD.

The cause of AMD is complex and multifactorial, according to Yiu, and involves a mix of genetic risks, age-associated changes, and environmental factors like smoking, diet and sun exposure. Early stages of AMD do not have symptoms; however, physicians can detect AMD and other eye problems during a regular comprehensive eye exam. “Our study shows goji berries, which are a natural food source, can improve macular pigments of healthy participants beyond taking high-dose nutritional supplements,” said Yiu. “The next step for our research will be to examine goji berries in patients with earlystage AMD.”

SCHOOLS: Rapid tests kept at the ready

From Page A1

From Page A1 to school on Monday.” As of now, there’s no indication the rapid antigen testing will be a habitual occurrence. Rather, they will be at-the-ready for student and staff use for reentry from quarantine. “If you test positive you can come back after five days, but you have to have resolving symptoms, be fever-free for 24 hours and have a negative antigen test on day five,” said Best. “The state is scrambling to support schools and get those tests out. We’re also still trying to figure out what that looks like in terms of state supply. We don’t have any indication for a mass distribution again, but we’re really focused on quarantine and return.” The district’s efforts go beyond the rapid antigen tests, however. According the Best, district measures can be analogized as a “Swiss cheese approach.” One measure represents a slice of Swiss cheese —

Yolo County has received 30,000 rapid test kits that will be distributed to students and staff throughout the county. filled with holes. With multiple measures, however, the “slices” will help cover the holes of other measures. “If you stack up the slices you’ll have better protection. We do robust testing of about 6,000 students and staff a week. We have indoor and outdoor mask mandates as well as encouraging folks to upgrade their masks,” Best continues. “We have air purifiers in every classroom, and we changed out their filters ahead of schedule during the break. We also encourage students and staff to get vaccinated

and have vaccine clinics to offer as well.” While in the past a runny nose, cough or headache was paid no mind, nowadays the district errs on the side of caution and urges students and staff to stay home and get tested if they experience any of these symptoms. Although the district shoulders much of this burden, Best lauds the efforts of the district’s staff and students for their steadfast resolve in these challenging times. “We’ve been moving staff around for contact tracing and reporting since there’s

been so many cases. Employees have moved from site to site to help and the system is at max capacity. I just want to thank the community for patience and understanding,” said Best. “Our staff goes above and beyond every day, and our principles are doing a great job with creativity and dynamic problem solving because the problem is adapting.” As COVID persists, so too will the efforts of the district to — as said by Best – curve the surge. — Reach Aaron Geerts at aaron.geerts@ mcnaughton.media.

POLE LINE: ‘Project that we want to see’ Three of the homes will be designated as affordable to moderate-income household levels. The Davis Planning Commission voted unanimously in December to recommend approval of the project and the council on Tuesday night followed suit. “Construction could begin this spring and I can bring to the market new homes in 2022 for Davis families in that ‘missing middle,’” Fouts told council members Tuesday. “This is the exact type of project that we want to see more of,” said Vice Mayor Lucas Frerichs. “Innovative infill projects are really important, especially if they’re done right.” Frerichs also praised Fouts for his outreach to the community. “The neighbors in the Davis Manor neighborhood have been very supportive,” Frerichs said. “The neighbors in Rancho Yolo (on the other side of Pole Line) have been very supportive.” One of them, a resident of Lehigh Drive, called in to the council meeting to

ent pieces of the puzzle that are appropriate to those locations.” Mayor Gloria Partida praised Fouts “for trying to get as much as they could into that really small space.” “That took a lot of trying to get the street right and the sidewalks right.” “I also really appreciate the effort at trying to keep the prices of the houses

down by not having HOA fees and things like that. I think that’s really going to help. Anywhere that we can help folks trying to afford for-sale homes is very helpful,” the mayor said. “These are the types of projects we are looking for.” — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@ davisenterprise.net.

Obituary Roger J. Romani

Dec. 17, 1929 — Jan. 10, 2021 Jan. 10 marks the one year anniversary of the passing of Roger Romani, long time Davis resident and UC Davis professor. Roger was born on Dec. 17, 1929, to Frida and Guglielmo Romani, immigrants from Italy’s Tuscany region and tenant farmers on Grand Island in the Sacramento Delta. Raised in an Italian-speaking household, Roger started first grade at Beaver Union elementary school knowing only one word of English (please!). He remained at Beaver Union through 8th grade, continued his education at Courtland High School and then entered UC Davis intending to get a 2 year agricultural degree. Drawn to learning in general and Biochemistry in particular, Roger ending up staying to get a four-year degree and was encouraged

by professors go on to graduate school in plant physiology. After earning a PhD from UCLA and serving a 2-year stint in the US Army, Roger returned to Davis to start work as a professor in the department of pomology. He also met Ann Gallichotte of Sacramento; they wed in 1959 and enjoyed a 61-year partnership. Roger’s life in Davis was characterized by energy, imagination and followthrough. He enjoyed greatly being part of UCD’s growth from a small “University Farm” to a major research institution. Roger excelled at plant cell physiology research, in his work with UCD’s Agricultural Extension, and in the classroom, receiving the Magnar Ronning Award for teaching excellence. He was passionate about the Agrarian Studies courses and major he

started, thoughtfully helping students develop perspectives on ROMANI sustainable agricultural. He was also instrumental in the establishment of the University Honors program. Roger maintained a very busy family and civic life, working with Ann to raise four children and delving into local historical preservation. As a long-term member of the Yolo County Historical Society, he worked to help save the Woodland Opera House. He also played a significant role in preserving the 2 mile stretch of walnut trees lining western Russell Boulevard, championing the addition of a shaded bicycle path which Davis residents have enjoyed for years. In addition, he and

Ann carefully restored the H.M. Larue Home on Russell Boulevard. Roger retired from UC Davis in 1992 and focused on cultivating a vineyard in Mendocino County. After researching local climate and soil conditions, he planted vines of Pinot grigio, a variety with little popularity at the time. Both the vineyard and the variety have enjoyed years of excellent growth. In his retirement, Roger also derived tremendous enjoyment cheering on his grandchildren in their various endeavors. In 2009, Roger and Ann moved into the University Retirement Center where they enjoyed their Golden Years among many longterm and new-found friends. Roger is survived by his loving wife Ann, children Rebecca, Roger (Debbie), Marcus (Annette) and Juli (Jim), five grandchildren and two step-grandchildren.

LEGISLATURE: Census results shake up state districts From Page A1 until at least mid-February. And on Thursday, due to the statewide surge in cases, senators were told to limit in-person staff to one per office. “We had hoped that as we go back, we’d be through the pandemic, but it hasn’t gone away,” Atkins said. “We’re going to have to continue to bear that in mind.” There’s also the makeup of the Legislature itself. Following the redistricting process after the 2020 census, state Senate and Assembly district lines have been shaken up — and a number of lawmakers will be lame ducks this session because they’re not running for re-election in 2022. Here are four themes to watch in the new legislative session:

Cash rules Compared to the $76 billion surplus from 2021, California is projecting a $31 billion surplus in the general fund, plus $20 billion in Proposition 98 funding for education. The windfall is fueled, like last year, with tax revenue and federal funds. In addition, the November cap-and-trade auction generated $732 million, according to the Legislative Analyst’s Office. In his budget proposal that is due by Jan. 10, Gov. Gavin Newsom has vowed to include more than $350 million to stop organized retail thefts, plus more money for dyslexia programs after authoring a children’s book on his own battles. He’s also hinted that he’ll include another round of stimulus checks. Neither of the spending priority lists put out by Senate or Assembly leaders mention a stimulus check. Instead, they are framing the budget around a more inclusive economic recovery, and a more equitable economy. Atkins said California’s

economy is strong, but that wealth needs to be put to work. “Those at the top are doing better than ever before, and that’s good for California in terms of our revenue,” Atkins said in an interview. “But as strong as the economy is, we face a homelessness crisis that you see every day in every corner of the state. And we know how hard it is for everyday, ordinary families to get by.” The Senate plan builds on 2021 programs, including targeted relief such as the child tax credit, Earned Income Tax Credit and small business aid. Senate and Assembly leaders also say they will seek to put more money into K-12 schools and higher education, and to maintain the state’s reserves — “to protect the progress we are making from future downturns,” Atkins said. Last year, the Legislature was able to maintain $25 billion in reserves. Senate Republicans called for some of the surplus to be sent to local governments, which they could use to address crime and homelessness. They also called for lowering gas taxes, expanding

the renters’ tax credit and paying down the unemployment fund debt that is burdening small businesses. Rendon said that the budget surplus would enable California to “rebuild infrastructure in every corner of the state.” Meanwhile, Senate Republicans are calling for $3.3 billion to be spent on water projects, most for the contentious Sites Reservoir. Expending one-time funds on infrastructure would help the Legislature avoid exceeding the Gann Limit, which requires that when the state hits a spending revenue threshold two years in a row, the excess money must be reimbursed to taxpayers or spent on schools. Revenue spent on building reserves and paying off debt is excluded from the limit. Jason Sisney, Rendon’s budget advisor, noted that the Gann limit did not kick in last year, despite the historic surplus. Assembly Budget Chairman Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, told reporters last month that with less money than last year to expand programs, the Legislature is likely to employ more creative

one-time funding measures, including on transportation and transit, which didn’t receive as much funding in 2021. “We’re definitely not back towards normal, but as we sort of come out of the pandemic a little bit, it’s not exactly clear where the best investments are and where the biggest impact is,” Ting said. “This is what the budget process is for. We have from now ’til June to really identify where we can make the biggest impact.” And while there is a budget surplus, Rendon said one challenge this year is to make sure that the Legislature is fiscally responsible, and that big and small cities alike get their fair share.

Guns and abortion In the final weeks of 2021, two hot-button issues reemerged and landed squarely on the legislative agenda. While California already has some of the nation’s toughest gun control laws, some are tied up in court. So Newsom went after guns and tied the issue to abortion.

He took a page from Texas’ playbook after the U.S. Supreme Court allowed that state’s ban on abortions after six weeks of pregnancy to stand in a December ruling. Newsom vowed to work with state lawmakers and Attorney General Rob Bonta — whom he appointed — to draft a bill that would allow private citizens to sue anyone who manufactures, distributes or sells illegal assault weapons or DIY “ghost” guns, modeling it after Texas’ unusually structured abortion law. Assemblyman Mike Gipson, D-Gardena, said he would introduce a bill, along the lines of what Newsom wants, to allow private lawsuits against makers of assault weapons and ghost guns, plus legislation to ban ghost guns outright. Gipson and Assemblymembers Ting and Chris Ward of San Diego also said they will introduce a separate bill to make it easier for gun violence victims and survivors to sue gun makers and dealers. It doesn’t include the “bounty” in the Texas law, but Ting said it “gets at the spirit” of what Newsom wants. The Texas abortion law has also prompted advocates and lawmakers to double down on abortion access in California. A task force appointed by Newsom is recommending measures to make California a “sanctuary state” for abortions, including helping to pay for the procedure, along with travel, lodging and other costs for women who come to California because their states limit access. Potentially, that could be tens of millions of dollars in state taxpayer money. If the U.S. Supreme Court effectively repeals Roe vs. Wade next summer, advocates say that could lead to 26 states immediately banning or severely limiting abortions. California would then become the closest state with broad abortion access within

LEGISLATURE: Leaders plan to follow through investment From Page A5 driving distance for 1.4 million women.

Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, left, whispers to Assemblyman David Chiu in 2019. Chiu left the Assembly in 2021 to become the San Francisco city attorney. California’s safety net, both chambers plan to continue investments in public health. Legislators are also expected to revisit singlepayer health care — one of Newsom’s campaign promises — and a plan to create an “Office of Health Care Affordability” to set cost targets for health plans, hospitals, physician groups and prescription drugs. On Thursday, a group of Democratic legislators unveiled a universal healthcare plan that would require voterapproved new taxes on businesses and employees to pay for it. Advocacy groups have called on Newsom to lower deductibles before MediCal will pay the costs of healthcare. Others have asked the Legislature to ensure that federal funds from the proposed Build Back Better bill boost programs for seniors and those with disabilities. Progressives and labor groups also plan to push to restore emergency paid sick leave for

COVID-19, which expired Sept. 30. SEIU California says that additional sick leave is even more important with shortened quarantine requirements for healthcare workers who are “being called to sacrifice and risk our lives again” despite the surge fueled by the omicron variant. Children are also a priority area, including investments in mental health resources for students and to address learning losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. State Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, plans to introduce a bill to create savings accounts of as much as $5,000 for children whose parents died from the virus. Also, it’s likely that lawmakers will revisit a highly charged debate that has led to death threats previously: Whether to narrow or eliminate the personal belief exemption from the vaccine mandate for K-12 students and staff.

On other issues such as housing and climate change mitigation, legislative leaders said they plan to see through the investments they made last year. That includes more affordable housing for families, as well as more permanent and temporary supportive housing for homeless people. To figure out what’s working and what’s not, Rendon said incoming Assembly Housing Committee chairperson Buffy Wicks, an Oakland Democrat, will review accountability of state programs on housing, rent relief and homelessness. “We’re kind of hesitant to change our approach drastically,” Rendon said. “We’ve invested again, $12 billion over two years. Rather than continually changing our ways of dealing with homelessness, if there are mid-course corrections that need to be made then we should do that.” On Friday, however, legislative Republicans called for a special session focused on the homelessness crisis. In a letter to the governor, they say the state has spent billions but the problem is only getting worse. “We have been wrestling with this problem for decades now, and it always seems to get worse,” Sen. Patricia Bates of Laguna Niguel said in a statement. “It’s time for real results, most of all for the countless homeless people suffering in our neighborhoods and communities. A Special Session will bring needed focus. We can, and must, do better.” As part of bolstering

Starting a routine? Protect your feet Starting a new fitness routine as part of your New Year’s resolutions? Protecting your feet is critical. “‘No pain, no gain’ may be a motto for most workouts, but ‘too much, too soon’ can lead to foot and ankle injuries, which can sabotage fitness goals,” says Jeffrey Loveland, DPM, FACFAS. Here’s how to identify and treat common exercise-related foot problems, according to foot and ankle

surgeons. • Playing through an ankle sprain can cause further damage to tendons, which may take much longer to heal or possibly require surgery. • A stress fracture may feel like an ankle sprain initially, but you’ll also notice swelling without bruising, and pain during normal activities or when touching the area. • If heel pain lasts more than onetwo days or worsens when you stand after sitting for extended periods of time, you may have plantar fasciitis,

What’s in the bottle: Rum

As the sugar craze swept Europe in the 18th century, Caribbean planters found themselves with a lot of byproducts on their hands. Specifically, molasses, the thick, dark brown syrup that results from the sugar refining process. Slaves on those Caribbean plantations found they could ferment the molasses into a drink, and rum was born.

How it’s made

Today’s rum starts with that same

Atkins said the Senate plans to continue finding ways to prevent wildfires and addressing drought, water and sea level rise. State water agencies have also recommended updated water use efficiency goals for water suppliers: 55 gallons per person per day by 2023, declining to 47 gallons per day by 2025, and 42 gallons by 2030. To take effect, the standards would need to be adopted by the Legislature. Also in 2022, the conversations around law enforcement and criminal justice reform are likely to continue, including another

Hellos, goodbyes Say hello to your new districts, and goodbye to some lawmakers. Following every census, state legislative and congressional boundaries are redrawn to account for population changes. On Dec. 27, the state’s independent redistricting commission certified its new maps. The commission drew the lines from scratch without taking current district lines or incumbents into account. As usual, that means there will be some musical chairs as legislators compete against fellow incumbents drawn into the same district, try to appeal to voters in a new district or decide to run for higher office. So far, 14 legislators have announced that 2022 will be their last session and

they won’t seek re-election, while seven others hit term limits. Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego, announced that she’s leaving to head the California Labor Foundation. Democratic state Sen. Connie Leyva of Chino announced that she won’t seek reelection in 2022. On Dec. 29, Assemblyman Patrick O’Donnell, D-Long Beach, chair of the Assembly Education Committee, announced that he isn’t running again. And Dec. 30, Republican Assemblymman Kevin Kiley of Rocklin, who also ran in last year’s recall election for governor, announced he’s running for Congress. And four — Gonzalez and Democratic Assembly members Ed Chau of Monterey Park in Los Angeles County, David Chiu of San Francisco and Jim Frazier of Fairfield — have already vacated their seats, so there will be special elections to replace them. Rendon said that not having a full slate of Assembly members can be difficult, but that he hopes all those seats are filled as soon as possible. “It’s difficult from the standpoint that they’re friends, it’s hard to see them go,” said Rendon. “At the same time, we’ve had a tremendous amount of turnover, and that’s brought on freshmen, and opportunities for people like Mia Bonta, Akilah Weber and ​​ Isaac Bryan. The freshmen have a lot to offer as well, and the turnover also offers opportunities for new chairs and leadership.” Rendon also reaffirmed that he isn’t planning to step aside early: “I’ve got a job to do, and I’ll do it until 2024.”

attempt to reform cash bail after voters in 2020 overturned a more sweeping law. Laws passed in 2021 included allowing a state commission to decertify police officers for wrongdoing, and limiting police use of rubber bullets and other less lethal weapons at protests and demonstrations. Assembly leaders also say they plan to increase oversight at the problemplagued Employment Development Department, including a strike team plan to help Californians receive their unemployment benefits. Finally, legislators could reconsider any of the 66 bills that they passed but that Newsom vetoed. But there’s little discussion of doing so. It takes a twothirds vote of both the Assembly and Senate to override a veto, and that hasn’t happened since 1980.

he year 2020 will undoubtedly be etched for posterity in my mind with both hope and complete despair. At home, my oldest daughter would graduate from High School and leave for college. At work, I excitedly awaited the arrival of spring 2020, when an amazing photography exhibit would open at the Pence. Beforehand, 2020 seemed like a magical number. I thought, maybe we would all see things more clearly — like the 20/20 vision designation we all crave

from our optometrist. I felt that anticipation kind of like before the year 2000, but without the Y2K drama. Of course, no one could have predicted all the turbulent events that transpired during those 366 days of 2020. Artists that I knew lost work, and visibility, as both teaching and exhibiting opportunities dried up overnight. When I spoke with friends, I always asked, “Have you been able to paint/sculpt/ draw?” This was a lifeline for some artists, as the time they

now had at home or in their studio meant freedom to expel their ideas into their work, if they felt inspired. Our exhibit “2020: Reflecting Back” captures the inspirations of ten regional artists, who wanted to record and comment on events such as the Presidential election, widespread fires along the west coast, the Black Lives Matter movement, and marches for racial justice throughout the US. The elephant in the room, of course, in that year and going forward, was COVID. That culprit that kept us indoors, isolated from each other, and spread throughout

our local and global communities overnight. Andres Alvarez is a photographer and painter who wanted to see the effect of this shutdown on artists. Alvarez’s project Through the Glass Walls includes his images of twenty-two local artists inside their studios. The photographed artists show all sorts of emotional responses to the mandated shutdown: fear, anger, sadness, determination, and even serenity. His photographs of various public marches in Sacramento brought him also face to face with protesters on both sides of the table, as well as law enforcement

officers, and they are included as well as part of the 2020 exhibit. For other artists, like Judy Neal, the year 2020 was marked by the sudden loss of her house and studio due to the Vacaville fire. Her lovely little painting “Spring after the Fire” shows a beautiful array of iris and other plants that sprouted up after the complete devastation of the fire. She also included a sweeping drawing of a bare landscape, made with charcoal produced from that same fire, and it is full of emotional heft. Participating artists (in addition

Kern was born in Moscow, and und in 2001 became the first woman in over 30 years to win the gold medal at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. That award launched Kern into a busy career as a recital artist and a soloist with many orchestras, and as a recording artist. Kern became an American citizen in 2016, after living in New York for more than a decade. The music featured on the

Jan. 15 concert by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Mondavi Center reflects the orchestra’s English roots and the Russian heritage of conductor Vasily Petrenko and Olga Kern. The concert will open with the “Four Sea Interludes” by British conductor Benjamin Britten, which are orchestral excerpt from his opera “Peter Grimes.” Then Kern will join the orchestra for a performance of the Piano Concerto No. 1 of Pyotr Tchiakovsky, a staple of the Russian orchestral repertoire which has long been an

audience favorite. Closing the concert will be British composer Edward Elgar’s “Enigma Variations,” which is a piece that seems to be quite popular with both British and Russian orchestras these days. (The “Nimrod” section of “Enigma Variations” has been featured as an encore at Mondavi by at least one touring Russian orchestra in the relatively recent past). Contacted on Monday, a Mondavi Center spokesman confirmed that the Jan. 15 concert with the RPO and Olga Kern is still on, even though UC Davis announced late last week that UCD students were switching back to online instruction through at least Jan. 28, owing to pandemicrelated factors. Tickets for the concert are currently in very short supply at the Mondavi Center box office, but a few

seats scattered around Jackson Hall were still available as of Monday morning, priced from $72 to $165 at MondaviArts. org. And a few more turned-back tickets will likely become available at the box office this week. The usual policies and protocols at concerts nowadays will be observed: audience members must show their CDC Vaccination Record Card (a phone image is acceptable) or the State of California Digital COVID-19 Vaccine Record, as well as a state-issued photo ID that matches the vaccine record, and audience members must wear a mask at all times inside the venue. Per CDC guidance, the Mondavi Center recommends wearing higher grade N95 or KN95 masks for the utmost protection, and asks that ticketholders please avoid the use of cloth masks alone.

‘Scream’: Typical slice ’n’ dice retread falls flat By Derrick Bang Enterprise film critic Sigh. Everything old is new again. 1996’s “Scream” quickly spawned a trilogy that “concluded” four years later, followed by 2011’s “Scream 4.” Creator Kevin Williamson’s shrewd “gimmick” — he scripted the first, second and fourth films — is that these characters are well versed in horror films, and speak knowledgeably about what one should (and shouldn’t) do, when confronted with a masked killer murder spree. The movie-obsessed killers, as well, are required to act according to certain genre expectations. Finally, there are three wellestablished rules: 1) Never trust the love interest; 2) The killer’s motive always is connected to something in the past; and 3) The first victim always belongs to a “friend group” that the killer is part of. As the series progressed, it became increasingly selfreferential and meta, with each fresh set of characters (victims) debating the merits (or lack thereof ) of a film series — “Stab,” “Stab 2,” etc. — that exploits these Woodsboro tragedies. This, in turn, spawns fresh killing sprees by new maniacs concealed behind the Ghostface mask, which prompts further “Stab” entries. Lather, rinse, repeat. (Honestly, you’d think Woodsboro would have run out of residents by now.) The question, then, is whether this 2022 entry has anything fresh to say. The answer: Slightly yes, mostly no. Social media essentially didn’t exist the last time “Scream” screamed, and scripters James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick make ample use of this enhancement. One cleverly suspenseful sequence exploits smart phone tracking capabilities (with the obligatory gruesome results). Co-directors Matt BettinelliOlpin and Tyler Gillett excel at

‘Scream’ Starring: Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Jack Quaid, Jasmine Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Mikey Madison, Dylan Minnette, Sonia Ammar, Marley Shelton Rating: R, for strong bloody violence, gore, relentless profanity and some sexual references Available via: Movie theaters snarky “teases,” most notably with the infamous camera shot that frames a character standing in front of an open door — refrigerator, whatever — as Brian Tyler’s spooky score intensifies; we just know, when that door closes, that Ghostface will be standing behind it, knife held aloft. But no: Over and over, nothing is there; cue the adrenaline release. Until the next time. In a similar nod to the initial “Scream,” this new one kicks off with an identical prologue. Teenager Tara Carpenter (Jenna Ortega), alone one evening, receives a phone call from a stranger who initially seems friendly enough, but soon subjects her to a sadistic game: She must answer three horror movierelated questions accurately, or her best friend Amber (Mikey Madison) will be slaughtered. And it’s no idle threat; the caller is using Amber’s phone. Ah, but it’s a fake-out; Ghostface actually comes after Tara, leaving her critically wounded … but not dead. News of this reaches Tara’s estranged older sister, Sam (Melissa Barrera), who left town years ago under an unspecified cloud. Devoted boyfriend Richie (Jack Quaid) agrees to accompany her back to

With varying levels of interest, skepticism and outright disbelief, the possible next victims of the ongoing murder spree — from left, Wes (Dylan Minnette), Richie (Jack Quaid), Sam (Melissa Barrera) and Dewey (David Arquette) — listen while the horrific situation’s “rules” are explained. Woodsboro, where a hospitalized Tara is well supported by her posse: n Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown), the resident movie geek and obsessive horror buff; n Chad (Mason Gooding), Mindy’s buff and aggressively macho twin brother; n Liv (Sonia Ammar), Chad’s pouty, self-centered girlfriend; n Wes (Dylan Minnette), a kind, all-around good guy, and son of Woodsboro Sheriff Judy Hicks (Marley Shelton); and n the aforementioned Amber, sullen and spiteful, overly protective of Tara, and immediately suspicious of Sam’s sudden return. Like, where was she when Tara was attacked? Most of these characters are little more than the superficial descriptions above; Vanderbilt and Busick don’t grant anything close to complex personalities. Their notion of dialogue also relies heavily on F-bombs, inserted as

everything from nouns and verbs, to adjectives and adverbs. Quaid does reasonably well as the supportive Richie, goodnatured about his status as “group outsider,” and defensive about his ignorance of the “Stab” movie series. Brown’s enthusiastic Mindy is the most fun, particularly when she giddily explains that they’ve all become part of a “requel”: not quite a re-boot, not quite a sequel, but a blend of both that requires a “next-gen cast” and “legacy characters.” The latter cues the return of the indomitable Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), fearless journalist-turned-morning news anchor Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) and lovable underdog Dewey Riley (David Arquette), all of whom survived the carnage of the first four films, defeating their cadre of Ghostfaces. Despite all the early winkwink-nudge-nudge meta references, this soon devolves into a

typical slasher flick, and a rather grim, mean-spirited one at that. While the absence of the genre’s sex-equals-death cliché is refreshing, the lingering, gore-laden brutality of several killings is quite distasteful. And I must say, when we hit the climax — as a small handful of survivors do their best to stay alive — it’s amazing how ambulatory, resourceful and powerful they remain, despite being stabbed and shot multiple times. They’re better than Energizer bunnies! I’ve no doubt genre fans will flock to this, ah, requel … but there’s little to entice mainstream viewers. 1996’s “Scream” broke new ground; this newest entry is mostly an excuse to splatter blood on the screen. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http://derrick bang.blogspot.com.

A visit to Leibkind (Andy Hyun, who played Bloom in DMTC’s 2016 production) involves the dance “Der Guten Tag Hop Clop,” and eventually the contract is signed. Once the world’s worst play is chosen, the next step is to find the worst director, Roger DeBris (Richard Spierto). The flamboyant

DeBris makes his entrance in a stunning silver-andblack gown, which he says makes him look like the Chrysler building. Spierto is perfectly campy, as is his “associate,” Carmen Ghia (Michael Tandy), who can drag out an exit better than most. DeBris has to be convinced to take on the directing job, but once allowed to make the whole Hitler story less depressing by adding cute song and dance numbers, and maybe letting Germany win for a change,

because it’s less of a downer, he’s all for it. When you see him goose-step into “Springtime for Hitler” after Leibkind suffers an injury on opening night, well there just was never such a cute Hitler before. Max’s rather unorthodox way of raising funds is to jolly little old ladies into giving him checks. Danette Vassar plays the aggressive “Hold-me, Touch-me” and is hilarious. And perhaps my favorite number of the whole show is “Along Came Bialy,” a dance number performed by

a host of little old ladies with walkers. Kudos to choreographer Andi Bourquin. The Swedish bombshell who wants to audition for the show, and who ends up working in the office for Max and Leo is Ulla (Sabrina Fernandez), the tallest, blondest sex-goddess you’re ever likely to meet. She can run an office, paint a room during intermission and star in a musical all without mussing a blonde curl. Isaacson’s set design works well for this production, with Bialystock’s office two-sided, so that in the second act it can look as if it has been painted Costume design by Jean Henderson is, of course, wonderful, particularly the dress and crown for DeBris and the dresses for the elderly investors. All actors, and all audience are masked. If there is any downside of this funny show it’s just that it’s sad not to be able to see the actors’ faces, though they are able to project perfectly with the masks. It was a small openingnight audience. People are still reluctant to go out in groups, but I hope that more people check out this show, which is very funny — something we all need these days!

PENCE: ‘Lover’s eye’ exhibit shows many windows into artist’s soul From Page B1 to Neal and Alvarez) include Lynn Beldner, Jamie Angelo, Maurice Moore, Orin Carpenter, Sally Smith, Jennifer Nachmanoff, Deziree Dizon, Gayle BonDurant, Pam Dixon, and Thomas Arie Donich. A key part of the exhibit is a slideshow of artwork produced by scores of children, college students, and other participants, as part of the Healing Arts Project, as well as a community wall of art submitted by 25 artists. The exhibit opens Jan. 14, with a same day reception from 6 to 9 p.m., and is sponsored by Rosa Marquez and Yatish Mishra. Our

Second Friday attendance has been light, with about 30 people per hour over four large rooms, and we will not be serving any food or drinks. Each room will have open doors to the outside to increase the air flow to the space. For those of you who prefer to visit when there are light crowds, I recommend coming to the Pence from Tuesday to Thursday, 3-5 p.m. I am also happy to let people in when we are not open to the public between 9 and 11:30 a.m during the week. Please call us at 530-758-3370 to make an early appointment. “Lover’s Eye” is an exquisite exhibit open this month that

offers a contemporary look at a historic portrait tradition. In the late 18th to early 19th centuries, lovers would exchange miniature eye portraits, often set in jewelry or objects that could be held in the hand. Curators Eileen Hendren and Katharine Schultz invited artists in different media and styles to create work inspired by this idea, that is truly imaginative and precious. Over 25 artists created their own “lover’s eye” portraits. Some are whimsical renditions of their dog’s or cat’s eyes. Other individuals took it rather seriously, and depicted their partner’s eye, or their own eye.This exhibit is up

through Jan. 30 and will share the reception on Jan. 14 from 6 to 9 p.m. Finally, the Pence is displaying the amazing glass sculpture of Sean Free Alcala, in an exhibit titled “Under the Surface.” This show, on display until Feb. 25, is filled with pieces that reflect on his concern for the human impact on our natural world. As part of the Pence Emerging Artist Award, sponsored by James R. & Suzette M. Smith, Alcala will give an artist’s talk on Saturday, Jan. 15, from 1 to 2 p.m. in the gallery. This talk will also be streamed live on the Pence’s Facebook page.

I honestly marvel at Sean’s technique in layering different colors and opacities of glass. He learned how to blow glass from his father, and this connection to his family is shown by his first glass sculpture he made in the exhibit. Sean lives in Salida, where he created over the past year 30 new pieces for this solo exhibit. Each piece is a tour de force of texture, color, and movement. Stop by to see the work in person before the show ends on Feb. 25. — Natalie Nelson is the executive director and curator of the Pence Gallery; her column is published monthly.

plashy headlines, viral videos and fear of lawlessness have spurred the beginnings of a proverbial pendulum swing in California. Elected officials from both political parties are calling for more tough-on-crime actions, while just one year ago, measures were passed to reduce law enforcement budgets and responses. The reality is that effective public safety is not the result of any one policy or decision. While I love a great TV crime drama, we must recognize that such entertainment lacks the complexity or context for reality. Effective policy is not as easy as the formula used on TV crime dramas: identify a villain, arrest the villain and wrap up the solution with a conviction. With this mindset, we will get stuck in an endless cycle of repeat programming. We know there is more to the story of truly building safer communities after TV show credits roll. Often, the person convicted will spend time under the supervision of probation, where we have an opportunity to impact their behavior while keeping the community safe. From our experience, we know the best approach is an effective combination of accountability plus opportunity and rehabilitation. Too much of one approach fails to result in long-term sustainable safety. If anything, that should be the lesson to heed as we reflect on where we go from here. A balanced approach to the justice system won’t make the evening news or become a viral video, but it is proven every time it is used as the most effective way to reduce recidivism and protect communities. For the last 10-plus years, probation has changed the way we work with adults and juveniles. We focus on using what works by carefully matching treatment with accountability to decrease the chance of seeing a repeat performance.

here will be hot races up and down the California ballot in the June 7 primary election and later in the November runoffs. But not in the highestprofile races for the two most powerful jobs on the line this year. Right now, mere weeks before the March 11 filing deadline, it appears Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom will have nothing to fear either in the spring or fall. The same with U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, a Democrat appointed by Newsom after former Sen. Kamala Harris became vice president. Yes, there will still be competition here and there. Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara faces a serious challenge from fellow Democrat Marc Levine, a Marin County assemblyman, and very likely another from former Commissioner Steve Poizner, beaten by Lara in 2018. Appointed Attorney General Rob Bonta, named to his current job after Xavier Becerra left to become President Biden’s secretary of Health and Human Services, will have at least one major rival, Sacramento County’s longtime District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert, running with no party preference. The openly gay Schubert is best known for using genetics to crack the Golden State Killer case, seeing Joseph DeAngelo plead guilty in

2020 after being charged with 13 murders and 13 raperelated offenses. So there are no guarantees of election or reelection to top statewide office this time, unless your name is Newsom or Padilla. Newsom right now has no significant declared opponent, while Padilla’s lone experienced challenger is Jerome Horton, a former member of the state Board of Equalization and a fellow Democrat. Newsom lack of significant challengers is the more unusual. Far-right talk show host Larry Elder, who led would-be replacement governor candidates with 48.4 percent of the vote in the September attempt to oust Newsom, has begged off another race even though he said months ago he likely would run. But Newsom never had reason to fear Elder, whose vote total last fall was far less than half the number opting to retain Newsom. Other declared candidates include San Diego County businessman John Cox, twice beaten by Newsom and the sixth-place finisher among

wanna-be recall replacements. The mostly selffunded Cox was best known for using a Kodiak bear as a campaign prop last summer. Also on the Republican side is ex-San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, who drew one-seventh as many votes as Elder. Other possibilities include Democrat John Chiang, a former state treasurer who dropped out of the 2018 race early, and Republican Kevin Kiley, an assemblyman from the Sacramento suburbs who pulled a measly 3.5 percent of the recall replacement vote.

N

one of them spurs any fear in Newsom. That might explain some of his behavior over the latter part of 2021. First came a last-moment pullout from a world climate change meeting in Scotland, saying his family didn’t want him to leave at Halloween. Trick or treating with the kids took precedence over an issue Newsom calls existential. Then he took his family to Mexico for six days over Thanksgiving week, while flash mobs conducted numerous smash-and-grab burglaries at high-end stores around the state. Few other governors would have passed up the chance to grandstand as a sympathetic law enforcement figure at a time like that, but Newsom again preferred being with his wife and kids. Later, he was a no-show when other state officials

using his authority reinstated California’s indoor masking mandate just before Christmas. That contrasted sharply with his behavior through the coronavirus pandemic’s first 18 months, when he overexposed himself on television or the Internet almost daily with Covid pronouncements others could have made. If all this means Newsom is coasting, taking his reelection for granted, it would be understandable considering that he survived months of concerted attacks during the recall campaign. For sure, there would be much more tension about this year’s campaign if the recall vote had been closer or never taken place at all. This also leaves Newsom very few places to look if he wants political advancement. About the only office that might interest him is the presidency, now occupied by a fellow Democrat. But it’s doubtful Newsom would run against Harris in 2024 even if President Biden were to step aside and she then sought to keep the job. Which goes far toward explaining Newsom’s relaxed demeanor. — Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

F

or example, since the adoption of SB 678 in 2009, probation has dedicated resources to evidence-based supervision coupled with treatment interventions focused on helping individuals successfully leave the justice system. This has helped to safely reduce those supervised from returning to prison by more than 30% after the second year of implementation and reduce the prison population by more than 6,000 in the first year. In addition to reducing revocations, it also reduced the state correctional expenditures by more than $1 billion since its implementation. However, this approach starts to fail when we do not have enough time to deploy these services, the ability to hold those accountable when they are continuing to pose a threat to our communities, or the resources to focus on the necessary treatment and services. Yet, every aspect of what must happen after arrests and convictions, are often overlooked in crime dramas but most importantly in policy development. Our concern today is that answers will be sought too far on either side of the pendulum. We should not abandon researched and effective policies, just to go back to a time that did not consider how to change criminal behavior post-conviction. However, we must learn from decisions that have layered one reform on top of the other without support for successful implementation. If policymakers rush to only look at the enforcement issues without addressing the “why,” we are doomed to experience more crime. If policymakers focus only on policies of rehabilitation without accountability for changing behavior, then we are also doomed to more crime. Most successful strategies in life and in policy are grounded in a careful balance of a carrot and stick approach. Without a balance, we are destined to just watch the same TV show using the same incomplete formula over and over again. Let’s break our cycle of going from one extreme to another. Let’s adopt policies and procedures that rely on common sense — coupling effective and proven accountability with individualized supports that address justice-involved individuals’ needs for transformation out of the justice system forever. I’m convinced California can be more than just another TV crime drama. — Karen Pank is the executive director for the Chief Probation Officers of California.

Letters Shutting down the virus Dr. Anthony Fauci said he’s confident that it’s safe to open U.S. schools after the holiday break …”it’s safe enough to get those kids back to school, balanced against the deleterious effects of keeping them out.” Dr. Fauci recently told us that he represents science, but evidently that message didn’t make it to Chicago. The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) has just decided that all CTU members at Chicago Public schools should be work remotely, after voting 73 percent in favor of a remote-work-only job action. A reality check was offered by Chicago Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady, who asked, “In what world would we think to close something essential like in-person education, when we have seen the negative effects of that, when our bars remain open?” Julia Lutch Davis

Freeway widening top (Davis) story I was surprised that a massive $86 Million federal grant to widen I-80 was not a top 10 story in 2021 (Enterprise, Jan. 2). First because this is the largest project in many decades by a Yolo County Agency. Second, this is the main route in and out of Davis. Third, this will put our values to the test: if a wider the freeway happens we will be challenged to reduce our city’s — and our state’s —carbon footprint. The goal of this project according to local politicians is to reduce traffic congestion so it is more convenient to drive. But his is not just about convenience of Davisites, but for the 8 million people from Bay Area to get to Tahoe. It’s the “Tahoe” part is why our small county got this large pot of “free money.” The inconvenient truth: 50% of Davis carbon footprint is from out-of-town travel by car. And we are not alone: the State’s GHG reduction plan required us to

not just shift from gasoline to electric cars, but to also reduce our car travel by 30% per capita. To do this we need better transit options, reducing commute distances making different housing and incentives to making other vacation choices. So why would we want to make something we say we need people to do less — drive — more attractive by widening the freeway? Its denial: because people believe climate change is less important than fixing freeway congestion. How our community resolve this should be a top story.

Aggie women fall to UCSD Special to The Enterprise LA JOLLA — Cierra Hall scored 17 of her gamehigh 19 points in the second half to help her team erase an 11-point first half deficit, but it wasn’t enough to get UC Davis over the hump as host UC San Diego limited the Aggies to just 33 percent shooting for the game and held off a late push en route to a 59-56 victory Saturday at RIMAC Arena. UC Davis fell to 6-6 overall and 0-2 in Big West Conference play. The Aggies opened league play 0-2 for the first time since 2013. The Tritons improved to 5-6 overall and 2-0 in league, getting 13 points and 13 rebounds from Sydney Brown. Hall opened the game just 1-of-7 from the field

before turning red-hot after the break, hitting 6-of-15 overall and 6-of-8 from the line, adding four rebounds and a pair of blocks. UC San Diego opened the game on an 12-1 run and held UC Davis to without a field goal until Sage Stobbart found some room inside and finished off a 3-point play at the 3:26 mark of the opening quarter. The Tritons kept the Aggies at arm’s length the rest of the way, leading by 10 after one and closing the first half on an 8-2 run after UC Davis made it a two-point game on a basket by freshman Bria Shine with just under three minutes to go. The Aggies made it a two-point game once again with 4:04 remaining in the third. Then they trailed by

However, that would be as close as UC Davis would get the rest of the way as UCSD scored seven of the next nine after calling timeout to stop the bleeding and answered every Aggie challenge the rest of the way. UC Davis was limited to just one field goal over the final six minutes. Konrad finished with a career-high eight assists to go with eight points and four rebounds, collecting the most assists in a game by an Aggie player this season.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.

Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee's sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee's sale.

49ers, Cowboys storied rivalry to add new page

O

n Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys will meet again in the NFL Playoffs, as the NFC rivals tangle for an eighth time. This edition of the rivalry will have the battle of the quarterbacks in the 49ers’ Jimmy Garoppolo against Cowboys’ Dak Prescott. The running game of the 49ers’ Elijah Mitchell and fullback Kyle Juszczyk, and the Cowboys have Ezekiel Elliot. San Francisco has great deep threats in tight end Geroge Kittle and wide receivers in Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings. On defense, the 49ers have an array of players in defensive tackles Arik Armstead and D.J. Jones, and defensive ends Nick Bosa and Samson Ebukam. Fred Warner heads up the 49ers’ linebacking core with Azeez Al-Shaair and Drew Greenlaw. The secondary includes free safety Jimmie Ward and strong safety Jaquiski Tartt. As someone who has seen his fair share of 49er games on TV, in

person as a member of the media and fan, it’s been a joy. So, one could imagine that many of you, no matter if you don the 49ers or Cowboys attire, are looking forward to Sunday’s game. Here are some fun facts entering the playoff game. n Garoppolo’s playoff record is 3-1. Prescott’s playoff record is 1-2. n Since 1997, the 49ers have played in two Super Bowls; against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV just two years ago and the Baltimore Raves in Super Bowl XLVII in 2013. The Cowboys haven’t been in the Super Bowl since the 1996 season. Yes, that’s 25 years, local Cowboy fans. Although the 49ers have lost the last two Super Bowls, at least they can say they’ve been in two Super Bowls this century. n San Francisco’s road record during the regular season was 6-3. Dallas’ home record at AT&T Stadium was 5-3. n Both play in cities that are not the same as the city of their team.

San Francisco plays at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, while AT&T Stadium is in Arlington, Texas. n The Cowboys have scored 530 points during the regular season. San Francisco has scored 427 points. n Dallas’ defense has given up 358 points this season. San Francisco at 365. A touchdown difference. n The last time that the 49ers and Cowboys faced each other in the playoffs was in the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 15, 1995, at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. The 49ers posted a 38-28 victory over the Cowboys.

n During the 1990s, San Francisco beat Dallas five of the nine times they faced each other in the playoffs and regular season. That included the 49ers beating the Cowboys twice in 1994; in their regular-season meeting San Francisco posted a 21-14 victory and the NFC Championship Game. n There are three players who wore 49er and Cowboy uniforms and won Super Bowl titles with both teams; defensive end Charles Haley, linebacker Ken Norton Jr. and cornerback Deion Sanders. All during the 1990s. n The 49ers and Cowboys have won the Super Bowl five times each. San Francisco’s titles were in 1981, 1984, 1988, 1989 and 1994. n The Cowboys lead the series 19-17-1. The first game between San Francisco and Dallas was on Nov. 20, 1960, as the 49ers posted a 26-14 victory. n The last time that the 49ers and Cowboys faced each other in the regular season was five days before Christmas in 2020. Dallas

managed to squeak out a 41-33 win. Now, let’s speed up to Sunday’s game. You might be thinking if there’s a prediction on the final score. San Francisco 28, Dallas 13. If the 49ers win by that exact score, I am going to buy lottery tickets next week. Should the 49ers beat the Cowboys, I plan to run another column on the 49ers next week on their divisional playoff game the weekend of Jan. 22-23. Speaking of the rest of the NFL, here’s my predictions on the rest of this weekend’s playoff games. In the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles upset the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Note to 49er fans: You want the Eagles to win because if they do, and San Francisco wins, the 49ers will host the Eagles at Levi’s Stadium the following weekend. San Francisco is the No. 6 seed and Philadelphia is No. 7.

Davis High shuts out the Wolfpack By Mike Bush Enterprise sports editor ELK GROVE — All offense in the first half. Then it was all defense in the 50 minutes. Combined, the Davis High boys soccer team notched another Delta League victory against Cosumnes Oaks. Kicking off the second round of league play at the Cosumnes Oaks-Franklin Community Stadium on Thursday, Davis (6-1 in the DL, 8-1) swept the Wolfpack with a 2-0 win. The Blue Devils defeated Cosumnes Oaks by a 3-0 score to begin league play at Ron and Mary Brown Stadium on Dec. 7, 2021. The victory keeps Davis alone in first place in league. Pleasant Grove (3-1-1 in the DL, 4-4-2) is in second place, followed by Franklin (3-1-2 in the DL, 4-4-3) and Jesuit (2-2-1 in the DL, 7-2-2). “We want to make sure that we are healthy, do the things we need to do, make sure that we get the first-place seed,” said Davis head coach Alex Park. “Hopefully, everybody is peaking and healthy at the exact, same time.” According to the Sac-Joaquin Section’s Website, www.cifsjs.org, the top four teams in the Delta advance to the playoffs that is scheduled to begin on Feb. 9. Davis High’s Daniel Jebri handled all of the scoring in the first half. Jebri, a senior, punched in the first goal in the 5th minute of the game. Then at the 30th minute, Jebri tacked on the final goal. The Blue Devils’ defense controlled the Wolfpack’s chances at the ball after Jebri’s first and

second goals. Davis High’s Riley McCormick, along with teammates Lucas Liu, Jebri, Zachary Agnew, Nic Montano, Evan Stafford, Zach Anderson, Holt Klineberg and Kai Peris and other Blue Devil players kept the Wolfpack from keeping the ball on the ground and limiting their touches by moving the ball in the air. Davis and Cosumnes Oaks continued to play defense in the final 40 minutes of the game. The Blue Devils only had two shots on goal; Anderson had one and Quientin

Wallace had the other. “I think in the second half, Cosumnes Oaks put more pressure on us,” Park said. “But I think we did pretty well.” Consumnes Oaks, as Sheldon did in Tuesday’s game that Davis recorded a 1-0 win, played a little bit more physical on the Blue Devils. That led to two Wolfpack players recording yellow cards in the second half. “It’s something that we got used to,” Park said. “Some teams feel that instead of trying to beat you, they

are going to try to be more physical.” But the main goal for Davis, which it accomplished, was keeping the Wolfpack from getting near the Blue Devils’ net. Blue Devil goalie Declan Fee only had two saves in the second half. As it was against Sheldon, Davis’ depth paved the way in Thursday’s game against Cosumnes Oaks. Park had players missing because of injuries. The Blue Devils have 23 players on the roster.

“We still have injury problems,” Park said. “But again, we have a very deep bench that can pull through.” On Tuesday, Davis will host Elk Grove at Ron and Mary Brown Stadium in another league game, which is scheduled to start at 3:30 p.m. Then the Blue Devils are idle until Tuesday, Jan. 25, in a rematch at Franklin of Elk Grove. The Wildcats beat the Blue Devils 1-0 at Ron and Mary Brown Stadium on Dec. 16, 2021.

Blue Devil boys comeback falls short against Elk Grove By Lev Farris Goldenberg Enterprise correspondent The Davis High boys basketball team narrowly missed a stunning comeback win on Wednesday, as Elk Grove posted a 50-45 victory in the Blue Devils’ Delta League opener. After dealing with a slew of cancellations, Davis (4-6 overall, 0-1 league) returned from a 25-day hiatus to face the Thundering Herd — the top team in the Delta at 13-4 overall and 3-0 in league. Jackson Isidor led the locals with a game-high 17 points and Colin Walsh added 12 points. The Blue Devils shook off a little rust early, trailing by as much as 14 points in the first half. “I think we just had a slow start to the game,” said Davis head coach Dan Gonzalez. “You know, it’s been a while since we’ve played so it could’ve just been the fact that we hadn’t played in a while.” Will Ackerman drilled a

3-pointer as the first-half clock wound down, and Davis went into the break trailing 31-20. In the third quarter, the Devils defense went to work, harassing Elk Grove shooters on the wings and swarming their bigs inside the key. Davis held The Herd to just two points in the quarter, and Isidor drained a trey to cut the lead to five heading to the fourth. Another trey from Isidor and a corner swish from Walsh gave the Blue Devils their first lead, 34-33, since the opening bucket. Elk Grove and Davis traded blows for the rest of the fourth quarter. After The Herd responded with a trey of their own, Tavi Maes made a leaping save on a ball headed out of bounds and served it right to Devil big Keandre Burns under the rim for an easy lay-in. A top-of-the-key jumper from Burns had Davis leading 42-39 with three minutes to play, but the Herd went on a 7-0 run.

Davis High big man Keandre Burns powers through an Elk Grove defender on Wednesday. Down four with 30 seconds to play, Davis looked to Isidor once again, feeding the senior in the corner for his fourth 3-pointer of the game.

“The moment’s never too big for him, he doesn’t get rattled, doesn’t get nervous,” Gonzalez said of his three-year varsity sniper. “He wants the ball in his

hands.” Davis had a chance to tie, but The Herd hit their free throws at the right time and pulled out the win. “It’s tough because it was

there. It was there for the taking,” Gonzalez told The Enterprise. “But that’s catch-up basketball, you fall behind, you gotta exert a lot to catch up, especially to a team like Elk Grove. “It had been close to 25 days since we had played,” Gonzalez continued. “So that’s a big layoff, and man, I’m proud as heck at how we battled back to eventually take a lead to the team that’s in first place in the league. It just goes to show, I think we can play with anybody in this league — we got the weapons.” Burns — in his first game of the season — finished with 5 points, while Younes Chantit and Maes each collected buckets for Davis. Davis host Sheldon (8-8, 1-1) on Friday at 7 p.m. On Saturday, the Blue Devils will be at Sheldon, but to take part in the Adidas Challenge. Davis will play Oak Ridge (12-6) at 10 a.m. — Follow Lev Farris Goldenberg on Twitter at @levgoldenberg.

SALE PENDING!

Adobe/Stock graphic

National pending home sales ease 2.2 percent in November • Contract signings fell 2.2 percent in November, a reversal of last month's increase. • Compared to the prior month, contract signings dropped in all regions. • Compared to one year ago, contract signings were 2.7 percent lower. WASHINGTON — Pending home sales slipped in November, receding slightly after a previous month of gains, according to the National Association of Realtors. Each of the four major U.S. regions witnessed contract transactions decline month-over-month. Year-over-year activity mostly retreated too, as three regions reported drops and only the Midwest saw an increase. The Pending Home Sales Index (PHSI), a forward-looking indicator of home sales based on contract signings, fell 2.2. percent to 122.4 in November. Year-over-year, signings slid 2.7 percent. An index of 100 is equal to the level of contract activity in 2001. "There was less pending home sales action this time around, which I would ascribe to low housing supply, but also to buyers being hesitant about home prices," said Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist. "While I expect neither a price reduction, nor another year of record-pace price gains, the market will see more inventory in 2022 and that will help some consumers with affordability." Yun notes that housing demand continues to be high, explaining that homes placed on the market for sale go from "listed status" to "under contract" in approximately 18 days.

"Buyer competition alone is unrelenting, but home seekers have also had to contend with the negative impacts of supply chain disruptions and labor shortages this year," he said. "These aspects, along with the exorbitant prices and a lack of available homes, have created a much tougher buying season." Yun adds that a countrywide surge of the omicron variant poses a risk to the housing market's performance, as buyers and sellers are sidelined, and home construction is delayed. Realtor.com's Hottest Housing Markets most recent data showed that out of the largest 40 metros, the most improved markets over the past year were Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, Fla.; Tampa-St. Petersburg, Fla.; Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas; Jacksonville, Fla.; and Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, Colo.

November pending home sales regional breakdown Month-over-month, the Northeast PHSI declined 0.1 percent to 99.4 in November, an 8.5 percent drop from a year ago. In the Midwest, the index fell 6.3 percent to 116.8 last month, up 0.2 percent from November 2020. Pending home sales transactions in the South ticked down 0.7 percent to an index of 148.2 in November, down 1.3 percent from November 2020. The index in the West slipped 2.2 percent in November to 105.5, down 4.6 percent from a year prior. —The National Association of Realtors

Pros and cons to selling your home during Winter SELLER'S GUIDE

Just like the temperatures, the housing market tends to cool off in the winter. But with demands sitting where it is these days, there really isn’t a bad time to put your house on the market. Here are some pros and cons of selling during winter from Moving. com.

Pros You are at the center of attention Along with fewer homes for sale comes the fact that your real estate agent will have a smaller portfolio in the winter, meaning they can spend more time and energy marketing your property. Realtor.com says that community real estate agents are the experts in knowing what buyers (and sellers!) want in your area. They track trends and know what sells fastest and for what price point. The site recommends finding a reputable agent by asking friends and family for recommendations, looking for real estate signs in your area, attending open houses and meeting agents, and calling brokerages around your home. Limited inventory Because fewer people sell in winter, that means less competition for your home and buyers are even more limited than they already are in this market. With fewer homes for sale, it makes it easier for your home to stand out amidst the competition. Buyers that are looking for a home during the winter months are also typically more motivated to buy. These are people that mean business, not just nosy neighbors who suddenly decide to jump into the real estate market. It could be that they’re relocating or suddenly need a new space — whatever it is, winter buyers mean business. They want to get in your home quickly and for a good price. Continued on Page 10

Real Estate trends to watch this year FORECAST

Low interest rates designed to prop up the economy amid the COVID-19 pandemic are starting to inch up again, along with concerns of inflation. This means that 2022 may cool off the white-hot housing market just a little, but demand will still outpace supply. Keep reading more insights about the real estate market in 2022 from the Motley Fool. Rates going up Economists say the Fed will have to respond to rising inflation, which recently clocked in at close to 7 percent in November, the highest rate since 1982. As the economy recovers from the pandemic, the Fed will taper off purchases of assets intended to stimulate the economy. Borrowing rates will rise more than previously thought; Bank of America predicts two rate hikes in 2022 and three more in 2023 and 2024. Mortgage rates will average 3.3 percent for well-qualified buyers in 2022, Fannie Mae forecasts, and the Mortgage Bankers Association is predicting a 4 percent rate on 30-year fixed loans. Originations going down The rise in rates mean mortgage lenders will see an inevitable slump in business. The MBA says total loan originations will drop 33 percent next year from 2021, mainly targeting refinances, which the association says will decline 62 percent as rates continue to go up.

Homebuilders still booming Despite rising rates, home supply still won’t be able to catch demand. Goldman Sachs tells the Motley Fool that the housing shortage might last the longest of all the shortages affecting the U.S. as the market struggles to recover from the lowest supply of available houses since the 1970s. An expected deregulation of land usage should help boost construction activity and push net supply up 1.4 million units, but the market will remain held back by supply constraints and labor shortages. More than 55 percent of homebuilders surveyed by the National Association of Home Builders said that they had trouble finding labor in 2021, while 90 percent of remodelers reported a shortage of subcontractors. Supply chain problems will continue to plague builders as well. NAHB says October 2021 already saw a decline in housing starts. During that month, more than 150,000 homes that were authorized to be constructed were unable to be built because of material shortages.

Home prices inch up Home prices won’t rocket any more, but they won’t fall, either, experts say. From August 2020 to August 2021, home prices rose nearly 20 percent, a record increase. Demand will still push prices, but not at the same rate. Goldman Sachs forecasts a price increase of 16 percent from October 2021 to December 2022, while Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are more conservative, predicting price increase of less than 10 percent. MBA goes farther and predicts a decline in prices of nearly 3 percent. —HomeWise

Real Estate Forecast 2022 ECONOMICS

Realtor.com recently released its 2022 Housing Forecast, predicting a whirlwind year ahead in real estate. Here are some key takeaways from the report. • Americans will have a better chance to find a home in 2022, but will face a competitive seller’s market as first-time buyer demand outmatches the inventory recovery. • With listing prices, rents and mortgage rates all expected to climb while incomes rise, 2022 will present a mixed bag of housing affordability challenges and opportunities. • More sellers are expected to enter the market as buyer competition remains fierce, we anticipate strong home sales growth. • Affordability will increasingly be a challenge as interest rates and prices rise, but remote work may expand search areas and enable younger buyers to find their first homes sooner than they might have otherwise.

Home sales On the selling side, the experts at Realtor.com expect to see continued sales growth in 2022 of 6.6 percent, with 16year highs for sales nationwide. Demand for homes among millennials aged 26 to 35 will continue to remain strong. Along with a growing economy and low unemployment, Americans are poised to earn more, allowing for sustained sales even in the face of higher interest rates.

Home prices Along with strong demand comes higher prices for homes, continuing a decade-long streak of year-over-year price increases. In the post-recession years since 2013, the market had seen consistent double-digit growth, eventually settling into more modest 4 percent to 7 percent growth more recently. But the pandemic sparked a home-buying frenzy, igniting another streak of double-digit growth in 2020. Under current conditions, the report sees continued growth, though at a more moderate pace, fueled by high demand and purchasing power. Limited inventory With high levels of selling, inventory will remain limited, according to the forecast. However, a rebound from inventory lows in 2020 is expected with rising construction. The report also cites a rising number of homeowners looking to sell in the next 12 months. Most had said they were not selling because they couldn’t find a new home to buy, but as the construction pipelines catch up sellers may be drawn out as they find these homes. Price growth in rentals, too Early on, the pandemic created slower rent growth. In larger markets, remote work drove below-average rent increases into 2021. But secondary markets saw a surge in rent increases as remote workers relocated to take advantage of the flexibility. In 2021, rent growth went from minimal to a double-digit pace as vaccines lessened the impact of the pandemic. Limited supply and excess demand led to this rising increase, a trend the forecast expects to continue in 2022. —HomeWise
