Newsom pledges $50M for opioid fight
With the city’s Interfaith Rotating Winter Shelter hit by the pandemic, the city in November leased housing units at the Davis Migrant Center to provide that shelter instead, but the effort proved to be short-lived.

resolved so the center can be used as a winter shelter in future years. “It is a really nice facility that sits vacant during the coldweather months,” noted Assistant City Manager Kelly Stachowicz, “and we don’t have other locations in town, in the city limits, identified as shelters. “So it seems like a really good opportunity to make something work,” she said.
California would funnel $50 million into educating young people about the risks of opioids and fentanyl under Gov. Gavin Newsom’s latest budget proposal, which comes as colleges are trying to make students aware of the dangers of those drugs. Opioid overdoses nationwide have accelerated during the COVID19 pandemic. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that more than 100,000 Americans — and about 10,000 people in California — died of drug overdoses in the year ending in April 2021, a nationwide increase of 28.5% from the year before. And opioid overdose deaths have been steadily increasing for years among Californians age 34 and under, more than tripling from 1999 to 2019, according to Kaiser Family Foundation data. Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, has led to overdose deaths on campuses

Home to migrant farmworkers and their families from April to October every year, the center, which sits about 5 miles south of the city at the end of Mace Boulevard, is unused during winter months.
It seemed like a good solution: With the city’s Interfaith Rotating Winter Shelter unable to provide congregate shelter to the homeless during the pandemic, the city in November leased housing units at the Davis Migrant Center to

However, city officials are hopeful those issues can be
New state guidance likely to lead Area colleges will split to fewer students in quarantine up to $16.1M in grant By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer Since school resumed after winter break in the midst of the Omicron surge, the Davis Joint Unified School District has seen COVID-19 cases skyrocket, leaving hundreds of students and staff in isolation after testing positive and even more students in quarantine following exposures. More than 600 student cases have been reported thus far in January and 104 staff cases. On Thursday, there were 121 students and 37 staff members in isolation after testing positive and 218 students

and one staff member in quarantine following exposure. “We went from having 25 or 30 positive cases on any given day before the winter break to having 300-plus in a day,” said interim Superintendent Matt Best. In fact, he said, up to 20 percent of students, and a corresponding number of staff members, have been out at times. “So really challenging to stay open and serve students the best we can,” Best told a joint meeting of city and school district officials on Wednesday. “We’ve had folks subbing

DHS petition aims to retain two-block schedule By Aaron Geerts Enterprise staff wirter In accordance with SB 328, the Davis school board voted to approve a three-block schedule for Davis High School on Dec. 16. This, however, sparked backlash from the DHS student body and students began circulating a petition to retain the two-block schedule. According to the petition proposed by DHS student Elliot DeJong, the district-approved three-block schedule for the 202223 school year was not the option that received the majority of votes from teachers, students and parents. The petition also seeks to bring awareness to the discontent of the student body while proposing the continuation of the current DHS schedule. This includes three
days of seven classes and two days of block scheduling, delayed 15 minutes to comply with SB 328. “I was shown the schedule they approved the morning after the school board meeting. By lunch, I heard a bunch of students talking about how crazy the new schedule was,” DeJong said, explaining his dissatisfaction with the three-block schedule. “I think it’s ignorance of the wishes of the people living through this and it’s losing the school board respect from the students, teachers and parents and the results of the surveys we’ve taken showed a big picture of that as well.” According to DeJong, the new schedule is far too erratic and features longer class periods that do not fit in well with teenagers’ attention spans. Its approval also left the
students feeling like their voices are unheard and wants unheeded. Alongside that, DeJong’s petition states the new schedule requires teachers to rewrite all pre-existing lesson plans to fit the new schedule. More specifically, the petition notes difficulties in having less time for labs in science classes or time to work on projects in art classes. Since the new schedule was approved, DeJong has had meetings with multiple district trustees to discuss the issue further. However, the meeting’s seemed to have only fanned his fire to enact change. “I’ve gotten more annoyed about this the more I’ve learned about it,” DeJong said, indicating what spurred him into taking action. “More and more people were talk-
ing about it I thought to myself this is something that really matters. It’s the annoyance of it all. It just doesn’t make sense that the people who are supposed to represent us aren’t.” Now with around 1,104 signatures on the petition, DeJong was set to voice his discontent at the public comment portion of the Thursday, Jan. 20, school-board meeting. “Ultimately, if they adopt the two-block schedule, it’ll be recognition of pulled majorities of teachers, students and parents as legitimate voices,” said DeJong. “We just don’t feel valuable in making these decisions. We want to be as equally valued as their own voices. That would be incredible.” — Reach Aaron Geerts at aaron. geerts@mcnaughton.media.
Stoat changes its colors with the season By Sara Thompson Special to the Enterprise
S
everal species of bird and mammal change their color with the seasons, one of them being the short-tailed weasel. Also known as a stoat, they are found naturally in upper latitudes of North America, Europe, and Asia. Their habitat is primarily the wooded and grassy areas in colder regions but have also been found in some coastal regions. Living in places with seasonal changes, the stoat goes through a dramatic makeover to survive. Male stoats can reach lengths more than a foot and weigh little more than half a pound, females tend to be around 25% smaller in size. Despite their small size, they are a fierce predator, hunting and feed-
Explorit Science Center ing on small rodents and birds, and occasionally taking down rabbits which are much bigger. Stoats live in small dens and nests, but do not build their own, but instead live in ones made by their prey. While many other small mammals will hibernate during the winter, the stoat remains active. To contend with the changing landscape with seasonal changes, the color of the stoat coat also changes. In the spring and summertime their coat is dark on their heads, backs, and tails, but white on their belly. Their summer coat can range in color from gray to brown,

No matter what their summer coat color is, it will begin to change in the autumn months into a fully white coat, except around their eyes and the tip if their tail, which remain dark in color.

County’s virus cases continue to rise By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer Wednesday marked another grim day in the COVID-19 pandemic for Yolo County, with 1,471 new cases reported as well as three more deaths. Twenty-five COVID-19 patients were in the county’s two hospitals on Thursday, including seven who are vaccinated. Eight patients were in intensive care units. As of Thursday, the county had one ICU bed available and two medical/surgical beds. The deaths reported Wednesday were from West Sacramento, bringing to 80 the total number of that city’s residents who have died from COVID-19 during the pandemic. Woodland has seen the most deaths (128), while unincorporated areas of the county have experienced 27
COVID-19 deaths; the city of Davis has lost 22 residents and Winters has lost 12. Of the 1,471 new cases reported on Wednesday (on top of the 1,552 reported on Tuesday), 484 were in the city of Davis. In just the last four weeks, the city of Davis has recorded nearly 3,000 new cases of COVID-19, almost doubling the total number of cases here since the pandemic began. On Dec. 22, the city had had a cumulative total of 3,345 cases; four weeks later, on Jan. 19, that number had risen to 6,340. Since Friday, the city has recorded 943 new cases, 411 of them in the collegeage population of 18- to 24-year-olds. Cases continue to rise among the city’s youngest residents as well, with 78

is to help evade predators, but the stoat uses it to blend into the snowy landscape to help their hunting. The black tip of their tail is what confuses their predators. If a bird of prey or a fox is hunting, they will target the black tail tip, but since it is the very tip of
their tail, the stoat can quickly move and escape. The fur of the stoat will again change in spring. The spring molt is slower than the autumn, and begins around the animal’s ears, progresses across the back and down towards the belly. Both coat changes are initiated by changes in daylight. It has been noted that the color change is still happening, even with lighter snowfalls each winter, meaning the stoat is less camouflaged. This could make the animal’s survival more difficult as our weather and climate continues to change. — Explorit Science Center is at 3141 Fifth St. For information, call 530-756-0191 or visit http://www.explorit. org, or “like” the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ explorit.fb.

SHELTER: Lack of oversight led to public-safety calls From Page A1 The center, which opened as an overnight homeless shelter on Nov. 29, had a nightly occupancy that averaged around 40 during its brief run, according to Deanne Machado, the city’s deputy director of police services. “And while the need for emergency winter shelter was clear based on that demand alone, we ultimately suspended operations on Dec. 17 due to very significant operational and security concerns at the site,” Machado said during a joint city-county meeting last week. “Some of the issues were unforeseen challenges related to the center’s distance from town,” she added. Other issues were related to the rush to open the center as winter set in. “We didn’t have this idea until really late in the game, so we scrambled to try to make the units we would use … habitable for cold weather as they didn’t previously have heaters,” said Stachowicz. “We went through all of that, but the timing was really short.” And as is the case many places these days, staffing was an issue and time needed to train staff was limited. “The few weeks the center was open, there was just not adequate management or oversight of the program,” Stachowicz said. “It resulted in behavior all around that was not conducive to people being safe.” That behavior, in turn, resulted in frequent public-safety calls, sometimes multiple times a night, she said. Looking ahead, if the

The remoteness of the Migrant Center — it’s 5 miles south of Davis — was one of the obstacles in using it. migrant center is to be used as a winter shelter in future years, “we really have to have some strong parameters or strong rules about how the program operates and when and how people are allowed to arrive on site and then what happens when they get on site, what rules are in place while they’re there. “We want to make sure we’re providing a safe space for individuals who are unsheltered to be able to sleep, but we don’t want to end up putting an extra burden on our public safety responders to need to go out there multiple times every night,” Stachowicz said. “And because of the location outside of town, if there was a critical issue, it would take some time to get there,” she added. That said, “we know that people can live there, and live there absolutely fine because our migrant
farmworker families have done so for years and years,” Stachowicz said. The decision to close the shelter required the city to pivot again, this time to what Machado described as a “hybrid shelter model.” First, the city secured hotel rooms for the most medically vulnerable individuals who were living at the migrant center and will pay for a total of 10 rooms through mid March. Additional rooms will be paid for by contributions from local nonprofits. “We’re working collaboratively with those groups on their efforts to ensure that we’re all streamlined. And for both banks of rooms, the city is providing case management and case outreach for all the guests who are housed in these hotel rooms,” Machado said. Secondly, a city-owned property on Fifth Street, adjacent to the downtown
fire station, will be opened as a winter shelter as well. Davis Community Meals and Housing has used the property for transitional housing in recent years and plans call for up to eight people to be housed there through the end of March. “Given the COVID concerns, we would look to use the location for our less medically vulnerable folks,” said Machado. Under a plan approved by the City Council on Tuesday, DCMH will continue to operate the site, which is located at 504-512 Fifth St., with the shelter opening every night no earlier than 6 p.m. and all guests leaving by 8 a.m. the next morning. Meanwhile, the city will also continue to take people to the Fourth and Hope shelter in Woodland as beds become available there and the county continues to operate a “Project Roomkey 2.0” program
that places COVID-positive individuals in hotel rooms. Going forward, Machado said, the city would still like to find a way to make the migrant center work as a winter shelter for the unhoused. Stachowicz agrees. “It’s an amazing resource to have in our overall community so hopefully we can make something work for next year,” she said. City Councilman Will Arnold said the closure of the migrant center as a shelter was disappointing but there are lessons to be learned there. Specifically, he said,
award. The consortium will also offer a two-credit experiential learning course, professional development support and financial literacy workshops. “The living stipend and focus on serving lowincome and undocumented students will broaden opportunities and make higher education more affordable,” UCD Chancellor Gary May said. “We commend California Volunteers for developing an innovative program that supports and strengthens student success and equity through positive contributions with community organizations.” Internships are scheduled to start in fall 2022, and a process for applying will be announced later. Pablo Reguerín, vice chancellor for student affairs at UC Davis, is the consortium leader. “We’re working together for the career and civic development of our students, community improvement and more affordable post-secondary pathways for lowincome and undocumented students,” he said. The consortium’s award for the planning phase — including program development and the first year of implementation — is $6.15 million, and the consortium is eligible to receive up to $10 million more for the second phase of implementation. “This partnership and grant will provide an incredible opportunity for our students to develop into leaders who truly understand the impact of service while making strong, lasting contributions to the region,” said
Sac State President Robert S. Nelson. One of the main goals of the consortium is to break down the barriers that can prevent low-income and undocumented students from participating in paid field placements and community-based internships. It aims to include about 230 AB 540-eligible undocumented students among the 1,000 interns and is planning specific efforts to reach low-income and undocumented students. “We are thrilled to be a part of this partnership,” said Sac City President Michael Gutierrez, “making college more affordable while simultaneously providing opportunities for our low-income and undocumented students to be hands-on in building up communities across our region. We have a bright future ahead as we make space for students to serve the community while reducing the financial burden of reaching their educational goals.” The Sacramento Valley interns will provide support to address the three focus areas of the College Corps program: K-12 education, including COVIDrelated learning loss; climate action; and food insecurity. Specific placements will be co-designed
with the community partners and schools. Beyond the experiential learning, benefits for the interns include teambuilding experiences, professional development sessions and financial literacy workshops. “This is wonderful news for our Yolo County region,” said WCC President Art Pimentel. “Our educational consortium and community partners will create life-changing opportunities for our students. It’s a winwin situation for our students and the communities we serve.” The consortium will host a student conference to promote the College Corps opportunity and placements the consortium develops. The event will feature experts in education, climate action and food insecurity from the area, including alumni. The consortium will hire a coordinator to recruit, onboard and steward community partners. Support for the community partners will include professional development training for staff. The four schools have expertise in the focus areas of College Corps, have a wealth of experience in community service and have partnered together before. — UC Davis News

Prop. 47 ready for a rewrite
Legal help is I too expensive By Jason Solomon Special to CalMatters
A
s the economy starts to recover from the last few years of the pandemic, families and small businesses in California are struggling. And many of these challenges — with debt, housing or work — have legal dimensions. The problem is that only the wealthy and large businesses can afford legal help, and legal aid can only help some of the poorest Californians — typically families making less than $44,000 annually. This leaves the urgent needs of the large middle mostly unmet. Consider the essential workers we continue to honor through this pandemic — teachers, nurses, grocery store workers. They make too much for legal aid but not enough to afford a lawyer when they need one. So they’re often on their own in court — dealing with significant issues like debt collection, evictions or family law matters, including domestic violence. Why? One culprit is restrictive rules in the U.S. — including in California — that govern, and limit, who can provide legal services. Owing to these restrictions, individuals can either afford Cadillac counsel or get no help at all. Unlike in medicine where there’s a middle ground with nurse practitioners, there is no middle ground in legal services — and that means many individuals are priced out. Worried about this calamity, in recent years the California State Bar has spearheaded a series of task forces, led by respected judges, to explore loosening the restrictions to promote innovation and increase access to justice. These changes would create the equivalent of nurse practitioners for law, and allow lawyers to partner with other professionals to build new models that serve families and small businesses. California would be following in the footsteps of Utah, Arizona and Washington, and the U.K., Australia and Canada.
f any California proposition of the last halfcentury is an obvious candidate for a major rewrite, it is the 2014 Proposition 47, which made small-time offenses out of all thefts of more than $950 value unless the perpetrator had a prior history of violent crimes. For sure, it is currently under threat. Alive right now in the Legislature are several efforts to cancel most of Prop. 47 or increase penalties for some crimes it deems minor. Ask most police and they’ll say this law is a major factor behind the wave of shoplifting that has plagued cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles and Fresno and caused closure of many retail stores, especially in San Francisco. They also attribute the socalled “smash-and-grab” robbery/burglaries during last fall’s Thanksgiving week to the same law. That might be a bit of a misattribution, as voters by a 60-40 margin in 2020 voted down the Proposition 20 attempt to make organized retail theft chargeable as a felony even if stolen goods amount to less than $950 per incident. For now, under Prop. 47, this can only be charged as a misdemeanor, very likely one motivating factor in the group smash-and-grabs involving as many as 80 persons per incident and about as organized as they could have been.
It’s true that a variety of police and media studies have shown crimes like larceny are up about 9 percent since the new value limits — up from the prior $250 petty theft limit — were raised eight years ago. At the same time, because crimes that were formerly felonies suddenly became misdemeanors, police and prosecutors changed their practices, going from court hearings that set bail amounts to simple arrest, book and release if a crime involved less value than $950. This went without much fanfare until the smash-andgrab crimes occurred en masse in many parts of California, highlighting the weaknesses of Prop. 47. The incidents gave a boost to an impending recall election against San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, the son of two former Weather Underground members convicted of driving getaway cars in a deadly New York state robbery. Boudin’s opponents object to the light-to-no bail he has
imposed on criminal suspects, even after voters roundly rejected a state law passed by legislators which aimed for a no-bail system. Meanwhile, the equally leftist Los Angeles County DA, George Gascon, was served just afterward with his own fresh set of recall papers. Backers of Prop. 47, including Gov, Gavin Newsom, have long noted the felony theft floors in conservative places like Texas and South Carolina are more than double the current California amount. They say inflation prior to Prop. 47 meant onetime misdemeanors were now routinely being prosecuted as felonies, thus overloading prisons and county jails with minor criminals.

till, it’s hard to overestimate the effects of the smash-and-grab events. Politically, without them, the toughen-47 proposals would go nowhere. Plus, private security contractors report a dramatic upswing in orders for burglar alarm systems since Thanksgiving. That trend actually began shortly after the nationally televised, organized burglaries and robberies in downtown Santa Monica last May, when police didn’t bother intervening while shops were plundered, sometimes to death. Security patrols in wealthy areas like Malibu and Bel-Air also report higher demand.
At the same time, custom car modifiers report an upswing in demand for bulletproof vehicles. Other reports add that stocks of fake Rolex and Omega watches like those often sold by street vendors in cities like Shanghai and Buenos Aires are being snapped up, owners of genuine high-end products hesitating to wear actual bling in public. For sure, stealing the cheap imitations will not result in long-term prison sentences for anyone who does not use a gun during their heists. Newsom responds to all this by saying “We want real accountability, we want people prosecuted and we want people to feel safe. But others question if that’s possible while Prop. 47 remains intact. That initiative easily withstood the threat of changes from Prop. 20 in the last general election. But criminals appear to have changed public thinking about the issues those measures covered, at least somewhat. Which makes Prop. 47 ripe for at least some legislative changes. — Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

B
ut last month, the Assembly and Senate Judiciary chairs sent a letter to the state bar, calling all that into question and suggesting we shouldn’t even study the possible benefits of a new approach. Echoing points made by lawyer interest groups, the chairs criticized the promising reform efforts and said we should stick with the status quo and just license more lawyers. At its Jan. 20-21 meeting, the state bar will consider whether “disbanding or suspending” the Closing the Justice Gap task force is the “logical result” of the chairs’ concerns. This result would be devastating. For starters, it’s clear we can’t lawyer our way out of the access to justice crisis. The state bar’s own studies, and many others as well, show that millions of Californians have ummet justice needs. Even a lot more lawyers and pro bono won’t dent the problem. The reforms under study would also benefit the chairs’ own constituents. Assembly Judiciary Chair Mark Stone, one signatory of the letter, recently led the way in passing a law to protect student loan borrowers. It’s a laudatory effort. But currently, 90% of those borrowers are unrepresented in California courts when sued for debt collection, according to a new study from the University of California, Irvine. Help in responding to debt-collection actions is a focus of the proposed reforms. Senate Judiciary Chair Tom Umberg, the other letter signatory, is a veteran and smallbusiness owner who prides himself on supporting both groups. But in fact, veterans and small businesses are among those with significant legal problems who are underserved. When Utah authorized new legal providers, the reforms led to the creation of a new service to help veterans get needed benefits. It also spurred the founding of several entities that help small businesses navigate legal challenges at affordable rates. Hopefully Umberg will allow the state bar efforts to go forward, so that more California veterans and smallbusiness owners can get affordable help. The Assembly and Senate Judiciary chairs have shown leadership before in making sure that legal services regulation works to benefit consumers and promote access to justice. With so many struggling, Stone and Umberg should reconsider their opposition to innovative ways to provide legal help for families and small businesses in California. — Jason Solomon is the executive director of the Center on the Legal Profession at Stanford Law School.

Letters UCD athletics fees I would like to comment on the excellent Jan. 7 article in The Davis Enterprise titled, “Showdown looms on use of student fees to fund UC Davis athletics.” In a 1994 referendum, students agreed to “tax” themselves to the tune of nearly $600 a year in student fees to support an athletics department and Division I sports. It supposedly included a P.E. program supported by a teacher-coach model called “The Davis Way.” As the university transitioned to more competitive Division I sports, the administration decided to break that promise, and eliminate the P.E. program altogether. Only when students and former lecturers made a stink by filing lawsuits did the administration decide, after the fact, that perhaps the Academic Senate should weigh in on the subject. The university is arguing that a strict interpretation of the 1994 referendum allowed them to eliminate the P.E. program. However, student leaders are mounting a coordinated response, drafting another referendum that is billed as a “revote” of the one in 1994. It would essentially nullify nearly all student fees that fund athletics, which will mean the

university athletic department stands to lose $25 million in the aggregate. This would result in the elimination of sports teams, dismantle other campus programs and/or involve laying off staff/student employees. First, colleges that become more competitive in athletics invariably funnel inordinate amounts of money into certain sports, e.g. football, basketball, which is often to the detriment of the rest of the school. Colleges should not be farm teams for professional sports, but that is frequently the reality. Second, as an attorney, I would strongly advise students to obtain an iron-clad agreement about what their student fees are paying for, with explicit language not open to any “convenient” interpretation later. Third, as a consumer advocate, I am very disappointed that the university would dupe students with slick marketing promises on what student fees would pay for, but make sure the actual contract language was vague enough to leave them all sorts of exit ramps to those same promises. Such behavior is unworthy of UCD. Elaine Roberts Musser Davis

presents 2022 budget,” Jan. 12) proposes spending on climate change — phasing out new gas-powered passenger vehicles and transitioning to cleaner fuels. Gov. Newsom says: “If we don’t invest in the future, we’re not going to do very well there.” He’s right — the future doesn’t look so great — the fires and floods and extreme weather are likely just the beginning. To protect our future and the future of our children, we need to do more than just reduce emissions (“net zero”) to reverse catastrophic climate change; we need to restore our climate. What is climate restoration, you may ask. It is the removal of excess CO2 that has accumulated in the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution, known as “net negative.” The good news is that there are many effective solutions that already exist, like removing excess CO2 from the atmosphere and turning it into limestone aggregate used for concrete and regrowing kelp forests. If we Build Back Better with this synthetic limestone instead of quarried limestone, we could pull tens of gigatons of CO2 from the atmosphere each year. I urge you to contact your state legislators to support CO2 removal technologies, such as using synthetic limestone to make concrete.

QUARANTINE: Resources stretched by omicron waves From Page A1 “One, because the incubation period for Omicron is so short, around three days, in the bestcase scenario for contact tracing, you really can’t identify and quarantine a student within that three-day infectious period window even in the best of times,” said Best. “So because of that, and the increase in the Omicron surge and the already stretched resources we have, essentially what CDPH is saying is just notify everybody that there’s been an exposure on campus and encourage anyone who came in contact with anybody else to get tested weekly. “Test weekly is the message,” Best added, “and the district should not engage in figuring out who tested or not. Essentially employ the honor system in terms of testing.” Best noted that the policy shift marks a big change from December, “where essentially we contact
traced every positive case.” “It’s a pretty sharp shift in philosophy to really keep more students in school as opposed to protect against potential infections,” he said. “We currently have almost 200 students who are quarantined as a result of an exposure, so those students, if we shift policies, will essentially be in school.” Students have been testing at a high rate, Best told city and school district officials Wednesday, including around 7,000 tests conducted at campus testing sites the first week after winter break and 6,500 the second week. “We were doing somewhere between 5,500, 6,000 pretty consistently throughout the course of the fall, so a lot more testing these last couple of weeks as expected,” he said. During Wednesday’s joint meeting, City Councilman Will Arnold asked whether transmission is occurring on campuses, saying, “I haven’t gotten the sense
that outbreaks are occurring at school.” “For the stuff in the classroom, that is absolutely true,” Best replied. “We don’t have any evidence of lunchtime transmission either. But we do have evidence around athletics. “We have had several sports teams where either students are unmasked because the sport allows it or just in really close contact (in) cars, weight rooms, that sort of stuff,” he said. “Whole teams, if not portions of teams, get COVID in pretty short order. “But most of what we’re hearing in terms of positivity is coming from home or community.” When the district has had three or more cases in a classroom, “we have an embedded county contact tracer,” said Best, “and that person is determining whether or not we need to do something additional as a district. “And without exception, in those cases, it’s usually like they’ve had a class birthday party or some other thing that all of
those students were at.” Best added that the core mitigation strategies employed by the district — requiring masks, making testing accessible on campus, installing air purifiers and encouraging vaccinations — are “really helping us weather (this).” The new guidance from the California Department of Public Health — which applies only to students exposed to someone with COVID-19 in a K-12 school — is as follows: Schools should notify students who spent more than a cumulative total of 15 minutes (within a 24-hour time period) in a shared indoor space such as a classroom with someone with COVID-19 during their period of infectiousness. Notification should occur to groups of exposed students (such as classmates and teammates) rather than contact tracing to identify individual close contacts. Notifications should be provided to all individuals considered exposed, including those who are
vaccinated or recently infected. Exposed students, regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status or prior infection, should get tested for COVID-19 with at least one diagnostic test obtained within three to five days after last exposure. Any FDA-approved antigen diagnostic test, PCR diagnostic test, or pooled PCR test is acceptable. Exposed students who participate in testing may continue to take part in all aspects of K-12 schooling, including sports and extracurricular activities, unless they develop symptoms or test positive for COVID-19. They should test as recommended and report positive test results to the school. Best said the school board was expected to discuss the new CDPH guidance at Thursday evening’s board meeting. — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@davisenter prise.net.

OPIOID: Colleges sound the alarm on growing problem From Page A1 in the last several years — a sophomore at Stanford University died from an accidental fentanyl overdose in February 2020, as did three students at the University of Southern California in 2019. Some California colleges have begun training students and staff in the use of naloxone, a medicine that can reverse overdoses and is frequently used under the brand name Narcan. Increasing awareness among students could influence communities on a larger scale after they graduate, said Noel Vest, a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University specializing in substance use disorders and recovery. “We know that naloxone saves lives. And so, you know, especially among college-aged students, the more that we can get it in their hands, the more that we can help them understand how to effectively use it, the better as a society we are going to be,” Vest said. When asked whether Newsom’s proposal would target college students, the California Department of Public Health said it would conduct research to craft the campaign and identify specific audiences and age ranges. The campaign would aim to reach both youths and adults, the department said in a statement to the CalMatters College Journalism Network, using social media, print and digital ads, and online toolkits. The proposal is part of Newsom’s $286.4 billion budget plan for the fiscal year that begins in July. Funding for the proposal comes from the massive settlement states reached with opioid makers. Newsom released the
plan on Jan. 10. It serves as a marker of his priorities and is still subject to negotiation with state lawmakers, who must approve a budget by mid-June. A separate bill authored by Sen. Melissa Hurtado, a Central Valley Democrat, would require campus health centers to distribute naloxone. It passed the Senate last session but stalled in the Assembly.
Narcan advocacy Stanford University has already trained hundreds of graduate and undergraduate students to use the medicine over the last year, said Ralph Castro, director of the university’s Office of Substance Use Programs. Cal Poly San Luis Obispo offers free overdose prevention kits to students that include Narcan, and trains them on how to use it. And Fresno Pacific University has Narcan available at several places on campus, including in the health center and the athletics department. Marissa Gonnering, a third-year resident adviser at Cal Poly, attended a Narcan training on campus. The process only took about 20 minutes and felt important, she said, because as an RA, she knew she could be the first person to reach the scene of an overdose. She hasn’t had to use Narcan yet, but said she feels safer knowing how to do so. The university should make sure students know it’s available and distribute the kits widely, she said. “I think it’s super important to have that safety net if it’s possible,” Gonnering said. “But I think that if only a few people know about it, or have it, then it’s … not as helpful.” Colleges should make
Narcan easily available — such as placing it in a bucket on the quad so students can walk by and anonymously grab it, said Aimee Moulin, a professor of emergency medicine and addiction medicine at UC Davis. The idea that having access to Narcan means people will use drugs more isn’t true, she said. “It is a myth that is out there that, I think, is tied to stigma related to drug use,” Moulin said. “We’ve had these abstinence-only thoughts out there for a long time and universally they’ve been unsuccessful.” Instead, Moulin advocates for harm reduction: a set of public health strategies meant to mitigate the potential negative consequences of drug use. President Joe Biden’s administration has touted the approach. For Moulin, that means meeting drug users where they are, showing them healthier ways to use, and ultimately helping them get treatment. The Department of Public Health said its campaign may include either prevention, harm-reduction messaging, or both, depending on the results of its research. Both approaches “are necessary to prevent and mitigate harm from opioids, including fentanyl,” the department said.
Reaching students Overdose prevention education should use compassionate language, never words that demonize people who use drugs, said Shannon Knox, the director of training and education at Community Health Project LA, which operates a syringe exchange and distributes free Narcan to L.A. County
health care providers. The education should also center safety measures: never using alone and always testing drugs before using a full amount, she said. Colleges should also communicate addiction treatments options to students, Knox said. “We need to be funding the education because the lack of education has a lot to do with why people are dying. And it’s really hard on people like me and my staff to hear about all the overdose deaths that are happening, when we know how limited the resources are,” Knox said. Colleges should also make sure students are aware of medical amnesty policies, said Jeremy Sharp, regional outreach director at Students for Sensible
Drug Policy. Such policies can shield students from punishment if they seek medical help for an emergency related to drugs or alcohol.
‘Different animal’ The risk of taking drugs laced with fentanyl is upping the stakes. The rate of drug overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl and fentanyl analogs, increased 56% from 2019 to 2020, according to the CDC. Fentanyl analogs are chemically similar to fentanyl but require special toxicology testing to detect, the CDC says. While doctors can prescribe fentanyl to patients with severe pain, most recent cases of fentanylrelated overdoses and
deaths are linked to illegally made fentanyl that can be mixed with heroin and cocaine, sometimes without the user’s knowledge, according to the CDC. Fentanyl’s many analogs mean those who use it don’t know what to expect, Knox said. People who have used heroin for 20 or 30 years may use fentanyl once and overdose. With fentanyl, “we’re talking about a pretty different animal than we’ve ever seen,” Knox said. More funding and education will help, experts said. “Every dorm room has a fire extinguisher in it. I mean, I would think that the best thing that you could do around this would be that every college housing unit has a place where they have Narcan,” Vest said.

How are those New Year’s resolutions about getting organized and getting out more often going? What about your pets? Here’s a New Year’s checklist of things to do for your pets.
Safety first
Adopted and home with Jason and Carol Jensen, “Dapper Dan,” lives up to his name.
Happy Tails
Four years ago in January, 2018, Jason and Carole Jensen adopted a sweet “scruffy little mix” from the Front Street Animal Shelter. Jason notes, “He was as cute as a button, a scraggly and goofy little pup of 5 months. The introducing employee said, ‘He sure is a dapper little guy.’ I replied, ‘Then we’ll name him Dapper Dan.’ I had her take a picture of the two of us and sent it to my wife with the caption, ‘Can we keep him?’ I had kept my intentions a secret from her up until then. She cried! I started the adoption paperwork that day.” Jason continues, “My wife and I went down to the receiving building to retrieve our newest addition to the family. We were so nervous and excited. This was our first dog as adults...Our Dog! We don’t have children so I guess it was time to bite
Even indoor cats can escape. So cats as well as dogs should wear ID tags and be microchipped. Do pet ID tags have current contact information that is clear and easy to read? If not, get new ones. For microchipped pets, go online to verify and update contact information. No microchip? Veterinarians as well as many vaccination clinics microchip pets. Petco’s Vetco Vaccination Clinics in Davis and Woodland Hills offer microchipping for $25. Dog licenses are required whether you live in a city or unincorporated area of Yolo County. Proof that a dog is vaccinated against rabies or has a rabies waiver from a

Maine Coon big brother kitties Maynard and Bruiser. The introduction went as you would expect. I’m not sure if he had seen a cat before, let alone two that outweighed him by 10 lbs. After a bit of apprehension on both sides, they were all getting along by that evening. Truthfully the kitties couldn’t have cared less! “Going on four years now, Dapper Dan has fit right in as the centerpiece of our family. He has all the fun he can handle!

Stay healthy
Be sure any new pets have had a “wellness” examination by a veterinarian to check their overall health and identify any medical conditions. For other pets, check their medical records to see what they need and when they need it in the new year. VIP Pet Care clinics offer non-emergency veterinary preventive care including vaccinations. Details @ https:// www.vippetcare.com or search online for “Pet vaccinations and microchipping near me.”
Be active
Physical and mental activities support the wellbeing of people and pets. If you have a dog, chances are it would love to go for daily or, better yet, twice daily walks. Getting out and about promotes physical
rubs, eat blueberries and wait for the mailman to come! “With that being said, Dapper Dan has changed our lives and will forever hold a special place in our hearts. He is definitely our best friend and a great joy in our lives. We are so blessed to have the opportunity to come together as a family! We hope
and mental wellbeing for all involved. Doing tricks keeps pets mentally alert and brings joy to those who watch them performed. Cats love to play with toys as simple as a paper bag. Dogs enjoy puzzle toys especially if treats are involved. Secure a few treats in an empty toilet paper roll and let the fun begin.

Relax
Quality time with pets is good for you and good for them. Relaxing together on the couch may be all that’s needed. However, brushing a pet’s fur or gently petting/ massaging a pet can help you both relax even more because such activities reduce the level of the stress hormone cortisol and increase the level of the feel-good hormone oxytocin in both people and pets.

Athletic Aussie troupe Circa opens Mondavi By Jeff Hudson Special to The Enterprise The Mondavi Center — which has been peppering the public lately with messages declaring “The Show Will Go On” — wants everyone to know that yes, you can see live performances onstage once again in elegant Jackson Hall. Mondavi’s artistic management seems to be particularly proud of the show they’re bringing in on Friday, Jan. 28, at 7:30 p.m., titled “Humans 2.0.” It’s a new production by the plucky, youthful, upwardly mobile Australian ensemble Circa, known internationally for their eye-popping blend of spectacular acrobatic maneuvers onstage. Their shows can bring to mind some of the daring aerial displays you may connect with a traditional circus (or perhaps with a particularly athletic modern dance production). They can (and do) build a threestory human tower (with one performer standing on another performer’s shoulders, while simultaneously
holding a third performer aloft) that may remind some of touring Chinese acrobats. And other moments may trigger memories of impressive gymnastic routines seen on TV during the Olympic Games. It’s the sort of sinewy, spectacular stuff that can be breathtaking seen live in a darkened theater ... but don’t attempt these moves on your own, unless you’ve prepared by doing a whole lot of conditioning and training first.) Circa presents these audacious theatrical moves together with eye-catching, precise lighting (making savvy use of beams of light as well as murky darkness) and mood-enhancing music. “Humans 2.0,” boasts an original 70-minute score composed specifically for the show. The seven performers on stage also don a parade of thematically designed costumes, geared to each number they perform. This performance at Mondavi on January 28 will also be one of those “triumph over adversity” events. As Jeremy Ganter, the Mondavi Center’s

Circa will present “Humans 2.0” at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 28, at the Mondavi Center. Associate Executive Director, puts it: “We intended to present Circa with ‘Humans 2.0’ during our 20-21 Season” — the season that got cancelled in its entirety due to the lingering Covid pandemic. Ganter added “We are thrilled to finally welcome Circa back to Davis with this extraordinary new work.”
And he’s proud that the Mondavi Center managed to commission Circa to create “Humans 2.0” despite the pandemic. Consequently, the Mondavi Center is hosting the first performance of “Humans 2.0” in North America. And if you’re thinking “Gee, I might have attended a show by this group Circa
at Mondavi before?”... Well, you may be right, because Circa has been visiting Davis for about 10 years now. Circa first came back in 2012 with a snappy matinee geared toward busloads of school groups, appropriately titled “61 Circus Acts in 60 Minutes.” That show was warmly received, so Mondavi
brought Circa back for another school matinee in 2014 (a program titled “S”). Circa returned in 2016 with a more versatile show titled “Beyond,” which was performed once as a school matinee and then several more times as an evening presentation geared toward

Manetti Shrem to open winter exhibitions Jan. 27 By Laura Compton Special to The Enterprise The Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art at UC Davis opens three dynamic new exhibitions on Thursday, Jan. 27, that explore multiple visions of resistance and protest through video, and showcase early works by renowned artists William T. Wiley and Mary Heilmann. The previously announced season opening of Jan. 8 was delayed due to a remote start to the academic quarter. n “From Moment to Movement: Picturing Protest in the Kramlich Collection” — A large-scale exhibition of six video and film installations from an international, intergenerational group of artists — Shiva Ahmadi, Dara Birnbaum, Kota Ezawa, Theaster Gates, Nalini Malani and Mikhael Subotzky — explores protests from different angles: resistance, the role of media in shaping our understanding of events, and the power and politics of viewing. (Jan. 27-June 19)
n “Mary Heilmann: Squaring Davis” — Decades before she would become a preeminent contemporary abstract painter, Heilmann started studying with William T. Wiley at UC Davis and found a place whose unique life-as-art ethos meshed with her spirit and inspired her to keep creating art despite her doubts. This exhibition reunites Heilmann’s Northern California oeuvre of rarely seen ceramics from the mid-1960s, sculptures and a group of “Davis Square” paintings created in 1977. (Jan. 27-May 8) n “William T. Wiley and the ‘Slant Step’: All on the Line” — Featuring William T. Wiley’s formative early works (1962-69), this exhibition also reunites various works inspired by the odd, iconic “Slant Step” art object, which jumpstarted conceptual art in Northern California, and debuts a brand-new digital “Slant Step” work by Wiley’s grad student, Bruce Nauman. (Jan. 27-May 8) n “On the Slant — A Mini-Symposium” has been moved to Friday, March 4, from
Feb. 4. The Manetti Shrem Museum hosts this in-person and live-streamed program in conjunction with the exhibition “William T. Wiley and the ‘Slant Step’: All on the Line.” The symposium brings together leading artists, scholars and other experts to examine the “Slant Step” from a variety of angles with sessions that focus on different ways of seeing this iconic, ambiguous object.

‘The Tender Bar’: Story has wry wisdom on tap Best-selling memoir makes a mostly charming leap to the screen By Derrick Bang Enterprise film critic The best coming-of-age stories possess a carefully calculated blend of warmth and gentle humor, along with the beating heart of such sagas: the relationship between mentor and mentee. Director George Clooney’s precise touch with “The Tender Bar” absolutely honors the tone of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist J.R. Moehringer’s best-selling memoir, with its rich cast of quirky characters. I only wish William Monahan’s screenplay had done a better job with Moehringer’s book. Condensing a 384-page tome into a 106-minute film obviously requires compromise, but — due to an ill-advised narrative decision — viewers likely will be dissatisfied with the result. The story begins in 1972, as 9-year-old J.R. (Daniel Ranieri) spends hours each day scanning radio channels for “The Voice,” as he calls the deadbeat DJ father who deserted him and his mother Dorothy (Lily Rabe) years earlier. Despite her best efforts, she can’t make ends meet; reluctantly, she packs J.R. and their meager possessions into a car and drives to Manhasset, Long Island, returning to the now-dilapidated house where she grew up. Her curmudgeonly and unapologetically blunt father (Christopher Lloyd) views this as a sign of failure. Her mother (Sondra James) is more cordial; her brother Charlie (Ben Affleck), still living with his parents — also to his father’s disgust — is pragmatic and sympathetic. To J.R. — who goes by those initials because he’s actually a junior, which he refuses to acknowledge — Charlie is Uncle Charlie: an attentive, doting purveyor of wisdom and sage advice. Affleck’s performance is sublime. Charlie is a self-educated
‘The Tender Bar’ Starring: Ben Affleck, Daniel Ranieri, Tye Sheridan, Lily Rabe, Christopher Lloyd, Briana Middleton, Max Martini, Max Casella, Michael Braun, Matthew Delamater, Sondra James Rating: R, for considerable profanity and some sexual candor Available via: Amazon Prime truth-seeker with a closet full of classic books — this fascinates J.R. — and he works as a bartender at a local pub called Dickens, where additional stacks of books vie for space with the colorful liquor bottles. Affleck’s line deliveries invariably include a trace of New York sass or snark, stopping just short of smugness. Charlie is never condescending; he grants respect to all who deserve it. (J.R.’s estranged father, who drops in just often enough to disappoint the boy further, is one of the exceptions.) But Charlie also is quick to call B.S. when confronted with it, and Affleck wins our hearts and minds early on, during an encounter with J.R.’s school psychologist. It becomes clear, at that moment, that while Charlie likely never graduated from high school, he is nonetheless quite astute and sharply perceptive. More to the point, he shares Dorothy’s belief in J.R., and encourages the boy’s desire to become a writer. This display of confidence similarly radiates from the pub’s colorful patrons, who adopt J.R. as something of a mascot.

J.R. (Daniel Ranieri, left) soon realizes that school books aren’t the sole source of education. Some of life’s best lessons come in a bowling alley, particularly when the wisdom is being dispensed by the boy’s doting Uncle Charlie (Ben Affleck). No surprise, then, that the boy spends increasing amount of time with this surrogate family. Ranieri is flat-out adorable, in an extremely impressive acting debut. He and Affleck share considerable chemistry, and it’s easy to forget that they’re playing roles; their bond is that natural. Ranieri ably navigates his character’s range of emotions, from wide-eyed astonishment — when confronted with Charlie’s closet of books — to woebegone dismay, when his drifter father once again fails to honor a promise. At about this point in the story, Clooney and Monahan inject a flash-forward to college-age J.R. (Tye Sheridan), riding a train and striking up a conversation with a companionable priest (Billy Meleady, note-perfect). Following a few more sequences with young J.R., the film’s second half solely follows
his college experiences. It’s more than a little jarring. We’ve just gotten into the rhythm of the environment at Dickens, and the patrons’ growing bond with the boy, and we’re suddenly ripped away from it. The film spends no time with J.R. as a developing teenager, no time during what must’ve been crucial high school years. It feels clumsy. It is clumsy. That said, Sheridan displays an irresistible aw-shucks charm; J.R.’s interactions with a significant college professor (Ezra Knight), and his steady pursuit of a journalism career, certainly are compelling. But far too much time is spent with J.R.’s fruitless infatuation with Sidney (Briana Middleton), a whip-smart young woman who comes from wealth, and seems to enjoy cruelly toying with his emotions.
This uncomfortable dynamic displays very little of the first act’s richly poignant moments. One standout — likely a scene for which this film will be remembered — ironically involves not Affleck and young Ranieri, but Lloyd and James. Grandpa has just “stepped up” unexpectedly; his wife — usually at the fringes of a scene, up to this point — comes close, looks up at him, and softly says three words. Like, wow. There’s much to admire here, but the clumsy narrative flow is a distracting flaw. This likely will prompt a lot of viewers to seek out Moehringer’s book: a result which, I’m sure, would meet with Uncle Charlie’s approval. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http://derrick bang.blogspot.com.

Artery exhibit has diverse styles, same theme Special to The Enterprise The Artery presents an exhibit of very diverse art forms. Louise McGowan Bezark transforms the humble gourd into an extraordinary sculpture; and Kathi Gibson uses paint, mosaic and canvas to capture an inspiring, but also serene moment in time.

Kathi Gibson’s “Ripples Serenity”
Many of Bezark’s sculptures celebrate this beautiful region and our animal and plant life. She begins most of her sculpture work by painting with fire or pyro-engraving. She adds textural detail and cutwork
carving, using bold color and shape. She finishes with precious metal leafing, pine needle weaving, as well as reeded and bamboo handles. Her gourd vessels are frequently mistaken for glass or ceramic. Gibson strives to capture moments of feeling that awake a new level of awareness. The fast driving technological world encourages detachment. She hopes that her paintings remind us that there are moments that we should treasure because they touch our hearts. “My intention is to give feelings back to a world that is constantly being pushed toward
increasing isolation and disconnection,” she said. Although the mediums are diverse, the pieces reflect the show’s theme of peace, inspiration, and delight in nature. When you step into the gallery you will leave the workaday world behind as you enjoy the beauty these artists create. The Artery, 207 G St. in downtown Davis, is open seven days a week, Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Sunday, noon to 5 p.m.; and Friday evenings until 9 p.m.

CIRCA: Show may take viewers’ breath away From Page B1 a somewhat more mature audience. Circa visited again in 2018 with “Carnival of the Animals,” a family-oriented show that blended acrobatic movement into the whimsically zoological suite that French composer Camille SaintSaëns penned in 1886. Most recently, Circa played Mondavi in February 2020 with program (created in 2017) titled “Humans,” designed for older kids and adventuresome adults. Strong audience response led the Mondavi Center to follow up on that five-performance engagement by commissioning Circa to create a new piece that would be sort of thematic semi-sequel or next chapter to go with “Humans” — “Humans 2.0.” Of course, when the unanticipated coronavirus pandemic began in March 2020, the Mondavi Center (and indeed, the performing arts generally, worldwide) basically went into hibernation for approximately a year-and-a-half. So it’s taken a while for Circa to bring “Humans 2.0” across the Pacific to Davis for a somewhat belated North American

The Australian ensemble Circa will visit the Mondavi Center on Friday, Jan. 28, doing a new piece titled “Humans 2.0” that the Mondavi Center commissioned. This will be the first North American performance. premiere. (They did manage a handful of festival performances of “Humans 2.0” in Australia and
Germany during 2021.) What should Davis audiences expect from this new show? Circa describes
“Humans 2.0” as being “aesthetic” as much as it is “athletic,” with “a tightlywoven choreography of bodies” moving about the stage in a production that aims to depict what it’s like to be human during times like these. The show is recommended for age 8+, so it’s best to leave the very young kids at home. (To put it another way, you probably won’t spot a performer costumed like a gigantic white rabbit roving around the stage ...) “Humans 2.0” aims to leave you breathless, and wondering “How on earth did they manage to toss one of the male performers way up into the air, and then have the other dancers expertly catch him” on the way back down. Tickets range from $65$37 general, with youth tickets (under age 18) as low as $18.50 in the balcony. Tickets available through MondaviArts.org, and at the door. The usual pandemic safety measures — facemasks are required (no cloth masks), and be prepared to show proof of vaccination (a photo of your vaccination card in your smartphone will suffice) and a photo ID with the same name as the vaccination record.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. 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. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an "eligible tenant buyer," you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an "eligible bidder," you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-21-893636-BF to find the date on which the trustee's sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. 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. If you think you may qualify as an "eligible tenant buyer" or "eligible bidder," you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Environmental Determination: The City of Davis has prepared an addendum to the previously certified Subsequent EIR for the Aggie Research Campus (SCH # 2014112012.) The Addendum to the SEIR has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21000 et seq., as amended (CEQA) and the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act, California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 14, Section 15000 et seq. (CEQA Guidelines). Per Section15164(a) of the CEQA Guidelines, the lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an Addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a SEIR or Negative Declaration have occurred. Per Section 15164(b), an Addendum to a certified EIR may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary. The analysis within the prepared document will demonstrate that the proposed modifications to the original DISC project will not trigger the criteria set forth in Section 15162, and thus, an Addendum is the appropriate CEQA document.

49ers-Packers game should be another gem
O
n Saturday, the San Francisco 49ers are looking to extend their postseason an extra week in Wisconsin. For a second time this season, San Francisco, which is the No. 6 seed in the NFC Playoffs, play top seed in the Green Bay Packers at legendary Lambeau Field. Game time is scheduled for 5:15 p.m. In the NFC Wild Card game, which almost everyone in America was probably glued to watching the final minute, on Jan. 16, the 49ers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 23-17. The Packers had the first-round bye. Here are some fun facts about Saturday’s game between the two rivalries. n San Francisco and Green Bay are meeting in the playoffs for a ninth time in the last 26 years. n The winner of a 49ersPackers playoff game has gone
on to the Super Bowl four times: 2019, 2012, 1997 and 1996. n The last time San Francisco won a playoff game at Lambeau Field was in the 2013 NFC Wild Card Round Game. Phil Dawson booted the game-winning field goal that gave the 49ers a 23-20 win. n The franchises have combined for nine Super Bowl titles and 18 NFL championships. n The Packers lead the alltime series 38-32-1. The teams have met eight times in the playoffs, with each team winning four games. n Since the Packers defeated the 49ers at Candlestick Park in the 1995 postseason, no other pairings have met more than five times in the playoffs. Green Bay and San Francisco have split their eight playoff games, 4-4. n Both franchises also own two of the top three postseason records in NFL history. The New
England Patriots (37-22, .627) have the best postseason winning percentage in NFL history, while the 49ers (33-21, .611) and Packers (36-24, .600), rank second and third, respectively. n San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan has a 3-1 career in the postseason, and 1-0 against the Packers. That victory coming in the NFC Championship Game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara two years ago. Yours truly was at the NFC Championship Game as a fan two years ago with a friend of mine
from Los Angeles. The 49ers dominated the Packers from start to finish. Not one local Packer fan can say otherwise. Shanahan’s only loss came in Super Bowl LIV. n San Francisco quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is 4-1 as a starting quarterback in the postseason. n Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who grew up a 49ers fan, is 3-1 in the Divisional round following a first-round bye. On top of that, Rodgers is 6-3 in the regular season against the 49ers, which included a 30-28 victory at Levi’s Stadium on Sept. 26, 2021. Now, let’s get back to Saturday’s game. Yes, there’s another prediction on the final score. San Francisco 30, Green Bay 26. Like I said in my column last week, if the 49ers win by that exact same score, I am going to
buy lottery tickets next week. Should the 49ers knock off the Packers, I plan to run another column on the 49ers playing in the NFC Championship Game, which will be on Sunday, Jan. 30. Here’s my predictions on the rest of this weekend’s NFL playoff games. In the NFC, the Los Angeles Rams will upset the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Note to 49er fans: If the 49ers win and the Rams beat the Buccaneers, then SoFi Stadium in Inglewood would be the site of the NFC Championship Game. Los Angeles is the No. 4 seed. Shifting to the AFC, top-seed Tennessee Titans will beat the Cincinnati Bengals. The Buffalo Bills will upset the Kansas City Chiefs. — Contact Mike Bush at mike@ davisenterprise.net.

UC Davis won 61-49. of the Aggies’ highlights were Stobbart recording one of her four blocked shots and the Gauchos forcing UC Davis into six turnovers. The Aggies had 17 in the game. UC Davis didn’t register its first points of the quarter until 6:42 left on the clock. Burns drew a foul while driving toward the basket at the north end of the center. Then she made 1 of 2 free throws — and 3 of 4 in the quarter — for a
39-22 score. Burns, along with Hall and Stobbart, combined for 15 points for a 54-32 score in the quarter. Harris scored a bucket at 9:38 in the fourth quarter, which gave UC Davis a 56-32 advantage. The Aggies didn’t score again until 3:38 left in the game when Burns made 2 of 2 free throws for a 57-42 score. Burns made 4 of 6 free throws in the game.
The Gauchos made a late run in the final minutes of the quarter, outscoring the Aggies 7-4. But UC Davis held on for the win. UC Santa Barbara’s Danae Miller had 14 points, and Alexis Tucker 9 points. Callie Cooper followed in scoring with 6 points. On Saturday, UC Davis hosts CSUN at the University Credit Union Center. Game time is scheduled for 2 p.m.
Four Aggies scored in double figures as the UC Davis men’s basketball team topped CSUN, 64-47, in Thursday’s Big West Conference contest at The Matadome in Northridge. Christian Anigwe had a team-high 16 points for the Aggies (8-5 overall, 1-1 BWC). Ezra Manjon finished with 14 points, and Caleb Fuller and Elijah Pepper and 13 points each. Pepper hit 3 of 6 from behind the 3-point arc. Fuller was on the cusp of a triple-double, dishing out nine assists and grabbing eight boards. Anigwe also had eight rebounds. The Aggies were slated to continue their Southern California road trip on Saturday with a bus ride to UC Santa Barbara but that game has been canceled due to COVID concerns in the Gauchos’ program.

Following that lone weekend series against Saint Mary’s, UC Davis will play three single games. But two of the three will be played at Dobbins Stadium. The Aggies welcome San Francisco State on Tuesday, Feb. 22, and the University of the Pacific on Tuesday, March 8. Both games are
scheduled to start at 2 p.m. In between those home games, UC Davis will play at Saint Mary’s again, on Tuesday, March 1. “Those games will be a good opportunity for us to evaluate where we are at and figure out what adjustments we need to make heading into conference,” said Nicholson. UC Davis begins Big West Conference action on Friday, March 18, with a three-game series at UC Irvine. The Aggies’ first conference home series is
scheduled on Friday, March 25, to Sunday, March 27, entertaining UC Santa Barbara. Nicholson is the 11th head coach in the Aggies baseball program history. According to UC Davis Athletic Director Rocko DeLuca, Nicholson was one of four candidates who interviewed for the position. Nicholson, whose wife, Marin, is a UC Davis graduate, replaced Matt Vaughn, who resigned in November in the wake of a hazing scandal that received
national attention. Vaughn ran the Aggies baseball program for 10 seasons. Last spring’s team posted a 14-43 overall record. Before accepting his new role in December, he was an assistant coach for four years in the Stanford baseball program. Prior to Stanford, Nicholson spent the 2017 season as an assistant coach at Sacramento State. He also served as Sacramento State’s infield coach in 2011 and 2012. During the 2012 season, the Hornets finished with a .979 fielding percentage.
