Council backs gradual shift to electric leaf blowers By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer

Worker shortage hits homeless plans By Manuela Tobias CalMatters In the middle of March last year, Los Angeles officials were gearing up to clear a 200person homeless encampment at Echo Park Lake. For Denise Velazquez, 53, then an outreach worker with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, her task was clear: Get 10 people indoors. She helped her clients —

who were cold, tired and desperate to shower — pack their bags and sign intake forms. She gave them hope that warmth was around the corner: Hotel rooms under Project Roomkey, the state’s program to shelter unhoused people most at risk of catching COVID-19.

“My stomach is feeling so uncomfortable and heart broken,” Velazquez wrote in an email to her supervisor on March 18.

But orders changed overnight. Her agency had access to only three beds, and when she

COVID cases decline but hospitalizations up By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer Yolo County reported 754 new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday and Thursday, a two-day total that would have been unheard of even during the worst of last year’s winter surge but now actually marks an improvement over the last several weeks. Daily new cases continue to drop on the UC Davis campus as well as in the city of Davis itself. The campus reported 264 new cases over the last seven days and a positivity rate of 1.47 percent. Over the last month, there have been 2,678 cases with a test positivity rate of 3.18 percent. And after more than half of

With passage of AB 1346 in the fall, the state effectively banned the sale of gas-powered leaf blowers as soon as 2024. The law directs the California Air Resources Board to adopt regulations prohibiting engine exhaust and evaporative emissions from new small off-road engines, including leaf blowers. The question now before the city of Davis — where leaf blowers have long been a source of controversy — is whether to move faster than the state in transitioning to electric leaf blowers, or even ban the use of all leaf blowers altogether. The consensus of Davis City Council members: No and no. During a discussion last week, council members expressed concern about the impact on sole proprietor and small landscaping companies if they were required to immediately swap out gas-powered blowers for electric or even ditch their leaf blowers altogether, especially if no incentives exist to help them pay for the transition. “These are typically very small

SACRAMENTO — State Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, introduced legislation Monday that would authorize the creation of mobile pharmacy vans to bring medication and counseling to California’s hard-to-reach communities, improving health for homeless people and many others who have inadequate access to care. “Many people can’t get to the medication they need to lead healthy, productive lives, so we will bring it to them,” Dodd said. “We must be proactive if we want to address the underlying cause of many societal

And the DiSC keeps on spinning D iSC THIS ... I don’t know about you, but I was happy to see the Planning Commission make some demands before recommending approval of the DiSC project proposed for a plot of land just east of Mace Boulevard on the north side of Interstate 80. “DiSC” stands for “Davis Innovation and Sustainability Campus,” but no one has yet explained to me why the “i” is not capitalized while the other three letters are. The positive recommendation kicks it over to the Davis City Council, which will decide soon whether to place the on-again, off-again project on the June ballot. Yes, thanks to the highly popular Measure J/R, when the proposal is to convert ag land to other uses, the entire city of Davis gets to vote on it without the approval of Joe Manchin or Kyrsten Sinema. The proposal that a bicycle undercrossing be added to the project is just common sense,

Valencia noted, “This is one of the projects that will help us get to the place that we need to get to, and that is not only market-rate housing, but affordable housing.” Amen to that.

given that this is already an area that is not friendly for cyclists. A larger project at the same site has already been rejected by the voters, 52 percent to 48 percent, but the developer is hoping that after putting the plans on the Atkins Diet, the voters might approve this slimmed down version. We shall see. IT’S ALWAYS ABOUT GROWTH ... Affordable housing and not-so-affordable housing will be a part of DiSC, which, as is usual with these things, will cause many renters to vote “Yes” and many homeowners to vote “No.” As commissioner Georgina

HE NAME GAME ... “DiSC is the most recent name of this ever-changing project, but as I’ve said all along, its chance of passing muster with the voters would improve dramatically by changing the name to “Free Beer for Everyone,” the old FBfE. SPEAKING OF PROJECTS EAST OF MACE AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80 ... While moving the Road 32A railroad crossing is still in the planning stages for a variety of reasons, my friend Eric asks “Since it still will take years to acquire funding followed by design, bidding and construction, why not add stop signs as a stopgap?” Much too practical, Eric. And besides, it might actually work,

CASES: Hospitalizations will lag From Page A1 The UC Davis Genome Center, which processes tests performed by Healthy Davis Together, reported half as many Omicron variant cases Jan. 16-22 as it did Jan. 2-8. Because of the large number of positive COVID19 tests beginning in late December, the center has been able to genotype only a sample of the positive test results and has been estimating the total number of Omicron cases among positive samples. For the week of Jan. 2-8, the genome center estimated 3,283 Omicron cases. The following week, the estimate was 2,110, and last week it had dropped further to 1,590. The Delta variant is still present as well, with an estimated four cases last week, down from 17 the week before and 60 the week before that. The genome center has detected at least one Delta case every week since the end of May. Omicron was first found the last week of November but quickly surpassed Delta and has been

responsible for more than 98 percent of COVID-19 cases since the beginning of January. ———— The COVID situation may be improving in the Davis Joint Unified School District as well. After more than 500 students were in isolation or quarantine two weeks ago, the district had fewer than 150 on Thursday afternoon. So far in the month of January, 775 DJUSD students and 130 staff members have tested positive for COVID-19. ———— As health officials have repeatedly warned, even after the Omicron case surge peaks, hospitalizations — and deaths — will continue to go up as both are lagging indicators trailing new cases by several weeks or more. That’s the case in Yolo County, where hospitalizations of COVID-19 patients continue to increase. On Thursday there were 29 COVID patients in the county’s two hospitals, all but six unvaccinated. Eight COVID-19 patients were in

intensive care. While the vast majority of hospitalizations during the Omicron surge have been among unvaccinated residents — and no residents who have received booster shots have been hospitalized, according to the county — the case rate among both the vaccinated and unvaccinated remains high. As of Thursday, the county reported a rate of 197.4 cases per 100,000 vaccinated residents and a rate of 244.7 per unvaccinated residents. ———— The county reported another COVID-19 death on Wednesday — that of a West Sacramento resident — bringing to 270 the total number of Yolo County residents who have died of COVID-19. All four or the deaths reported by the county in the last month have involved West Sacramento residents. — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@ davisenterprise.net.

VAN: Local leaders support plan From Page A1 challenges, including homelessness. This bill creates critical access to potentially life-saving drugs that will improve the lives of the most vulnerable Californians.” Dodd’s proposal, Senate Bill 872, authorizes public agencies and others on the front lines of serving homeless and vulnerable people to operate mobile pharmacies. Each mobile unit would have a physician as part of the team to prescribe medications that can be dispensed immediately. Oversight would come from the state Board of Pharmacy. The bill is supported by healthcare groups as well as Contra Costa, San Diego and Santa Clara counties. “A mobile pharmacy can more effectively reach vulnerable populations and under-

served neighborhoods,” said Nathan Fletcher, chair of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. “There are working families in our city centers and rural areas who forgo the medicine they need to maintain their health because they lack access to a nearby pharmacy; we have the ability to improve their circumstances by changing the law. I want to thank Sen. Bill Dodd for his partnership on this legislation; our county is ready to support him in any way necessary.” “The county of Santa Clara’s health system is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of communities we serve,” said René G. Santiago, deputy county executive and director of Santa Clara County Health System. “Sen. Dodd’s bill will further our mission by providing us the ability to operate a mobile pharmacy

to dispense medications to underserved areas and homeless populations. Doing this will help us address health equity challenges for vulnerable residents by improving access to needed medications.” Dodd represents the 3rd Senate District, which includes all or portions of Napa, Solano, Yolo, Sonoma, Contra Costa and Sacramento counties.

Court reinstates restraining order on second-strike credits Enterprise staff A Sacramento Superior Court judge reinstated a temporary restring order sought by by district attorneys on Tuesday against the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, preventing the state from changing good-conduct rules to speed up the early release of some prisoners. On Jan. 25, Judge Judith S. Craddick reinstated the TRO, which prevents CDCR from awarding 66% custody credits to second-strike offenders until an appeal is filed. This ruling allows the Third District Court of Appeals to consider the issues raised in the trial court’s previous denial of a preliminary injunction. On Dec. 30, Judge Ray Cadei issued the order against CDCR preventing them from awarding those additional credits, but on on Jan. 20, the court declined to issue a preliminary injunction, allowing CDCR to begin issuing those credits. On Tuesday morning, the court reissued the TRO pending the filing of an appeal the 28 district attorneys. Sacramento District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert filed the lawsuit in Sacramento Superior Court. “CDCR believes they can increase conduct credits by 100% without ever giving victims and the public the right to meaningful participation

in this process,” she said. “Most people would be surprised to learn that under California law, crimes like felony domestic violence and human trafficking are not ‘violent’ felonies. An individual with a prior violent felony record who is convicted of felony domestic violence should not be serving one-third or less of his or her sentence. “I am pleased that the Court reinstated the TRO against CDCR today as this is a critical public safety issue for crime victims and all Californians. Proposition 57 and the California Constitution guarantees the public and crime victims the right to be heard in a public forum. This lawsuit is simply asking that CDCR honor the Constitution and the will of the voters.” Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig, one of the 28 D.A.’s to file the lawsuit, applauded today’s ruling. “It’s critical that decisions that reward credits to individuals with violent criminal histories be handled transparently and not behind closed doors,” Reisig said. “Many individuals in state prison have earned the right to get credits, one example being those working in the fire camps. Credits are a means to reward and incentivize. People who have done nothing to rehabilitate should not automatically be rewarded credits.”

Briefly Battery suspect ID’d, arrested A downtown Davis altercation led to a battery arrest on Monday. The Davis Police Department was called at 11:18 p.m. Jan. 24 in response to a battery report at Panera Bread on Third Street. According to the victim, a transient male suspect entered the restaurant, and when asked to leave, he threw coffee at her. Later on, the suspect was contacted at Central Park and was later identified by the victim during a field ID show-up. Lt. Ilya Bezuglov of the DPD said that the victim of the crime signed a citizen’s arrest, and the suspect was promptly arrested and sent to the Yolo County Jail.

Vehicle stolen in South Davis Police are still searching for a car reported stolen this week in South Davis. On Monday, Jan 24, the victim reported his black Honda Accord missing at 5:22 a.m. He had parked the car and locked it in front of his residence on the 5000 block of Glide Drive at 7 p.m. the previous day. According to owner, he neither saw nor heard anything suspicious overnight. “The vehicle was not registered ... He recently bought the vehicle and was in the process of getting it transferred to his name,” said Lt. Ilya Bezuglov of DPD. “All of the paperwork, including the vehicle title was in the vehicle.” The vehicle has not yet been recovered. Contact the Davis Police Department at 530-747-5400 with any information.

Parking rules go back into effect As of Feb. 5, Saturday parking enforcement will begin again in Davis.

Caribou, musk oxen buffer climate impacts on plants Large herbivores help rare species persist in warming Arctic tundra By Kat Kerlin Special to The Enterprise Being common is rather unusual. It’s far more common for a species to be rare, spending its existence in small densities throughout its range. How such rare species persist, particularly in an environment undergoing rapid climate change, inspired a 15-year study in arctic Greenland from UC Davis. The study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, found that caribou and musk oxen helped mitigate the effects of climate change on rare arctic plants, lichens and mushrooms at the study site. The authors suggest that by constraining the abundance of the two most common plant species — dwarf birch and gray willow — large herbivores may allow other, less common species to persist rather than be

shaded or outcompeted for nutrients by the woody shrub’s canopy, or suppressed by leaf litter and cooler soils. “This is more evidence that conserving large herbivores is really important to maintaining the compositional integrity of speciespoor systems like the arctic tundra,” said lead author Eric Post, director of the UC Davis Polar Forum and a professor in the UC Davis Department of Wildlife, Fish and Conservation Biology.

A rare find Recent studies have shown that when rare species risk extinction due to climate change, it is often due to effects on local habitat. Greater numbers of rare species persist in regions with a stable climate than in regions with a changing climate. This study shows that species interactions can also be important in maintaining rare species under climate change. For this study, the scientists investigated the effects of warming and the pres-

others rarer. But the presence or absence of caribou and musk oxen made a clear difference. Excluding large herbivores from study plots made seven species — five of them rare — less common, and two species more common, and led to common species dominating study plots.

Critical role Caribou at the study site near Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, dropped from several hundred animals in the early 2000s, at the beginning of this study, to a little over 100 by the study’s end. Musk oxen increased from about 20 to 50 over the same period, according to a March 2021 study Post co-authored. Meanwhile, the arctic tundra is warming two to three times as fast as the rest of the planet. “The conservation of large herbivores will serve a critical role in preserving arctic tundra as it warms,” Post said. “If caribou or musk oxen eventually go locally extinct from parts of

the Arctic, or even fall to severely low abundance, what we’ll likely see in response to warming is a tundra increasingly dominated by a few common species, like shrubs.” Post said that rare species contribute vitally to biodiversity, ecosystem function and resilience, largely because there are so many of them compared to common species. “Creative solutions to sustaining tundra biodiversity, such as maintaining intact populations of large herbivores, will help buffer this sensitive biome against climate change,” Post said. This study’s co-authors include Christian Pedersen of the Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research, and David A. Watts of the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services. The study was funded by the National Science Foundation, National Geographic Committee for Research and Exploration, and Penn State University.

Commentary California should lead on health technology By Darius Lakdawalla and Dana Goldman Special to CalMatters

H

ow much money is California wasting every year in Medi-Cal, the $112 billion health insurance program currently serving onethird of the state’s population? Or how about in CalPERS, the state employee pension and health plan, which spends more than $9 billion to purchase health benefits for its 1.5 million members? Broad estimates suggest we could reduce spending by about $30 billion annually without harming people’s health. But we really don’t know where to cut. We don’t even know how to find out, because California does not review which treatments are worth the money and which aren’t. A good place to start tracking down this waste is by systematically assessing the effectiveness and value of devices, medicines, procedures and other items that the state is covering. An independent California Institute of Health Technology Assessment could be set up without direct regulatory authority but with the expertise that could influence decisions across a broad array of technologies and health care services. Picture an office stocked with scientists, economists, physicians and other health care experts who would advise Medi-Cal and CalPERS on what to cover and how much to pay. For example, should the state agree to pay for back operations that help only a fraction of patients? On the other hand, is a refusal to buy an expensive pill shortsighted if it can cure a costly chronic disease? Right now, payment decisions revolve primarily around the rebates that the state negotiates with drug and device manufacturers. These rebates often bear no relationship to what the drugs and devices do. A California Institute of Health Technology Assessment would point out which technologies have lower efficacy, and thus should rebate more to the state, and which ones are delivering more value, and would be eligible to pay lower rebates. This type of data could benefit privately insured Californians too, because health care providers, insurers, employers, health care innovators and others all gain from knowing which treatments work best for which patients.

I

n a perfect world, the federal government would do this kind of health technology assessment. In the absence of action in Washington, California could take the lead on the long-sought move toward value-based pricing of health technology. Just as it did with stem cell research, California is in position to assume the mantle of leadership on a critical issue for medical innovation. A joint panel from the USC Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics and the Aspen Institute recently endorsed the idea of a federal Institute for Health Technology Assessment. California could easily adopt and amend the panel’s recommendations: n The institute would not interfere with privately funded evaluations by insurers, manufacturers and the like. It would conduct new research, especially into areas that remain poorly studied such as diagnostics, procedures and public health programs. n Health technology evaluations by the institute should provide all relevant costs and outcomes such as life years, productivity gains or medical costs — leaving the economic evaluation to individual payers. n To achieve political and public acceptance, the Institute should be operated with input from all key stakeholder groups — especially patients. Seeking the best price for the best procedures and devices will drain waste from California’s massive health care system. Reports from a California Institute of Health Technology Assessment would also influence national discussions on how to ensure that care provides the most benefit to patients. For example, there is bipartisan agreement that something should be done about drug pricing, but there has been no consensus about what to do about it. A California Institute of Health Technology Assessment could thread the needle on political consensus by introducing state-of-the-art methods for measuring value — which drug and device manufacturers like — with the objective of eliminating wasteful spending on care that doesn’t work, which insurers and payers like. Properly structured, California Institute of Health Technology Assessment would encourage maximum efficiency in health systems while rewarding both innovation and quality of care. — Darius Lakdawalla is the director of research at the USC Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics.

Slow down the revolving door

T

he federal government has rules designed to put a crimp in the revolving-door phenomenon that sees former government regulators often take high-paying jobs in industries whose profits and incomes they once influenced. Many agencies — like the Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Energy Commission, to name just two — enforce five-year waiting periods before onetime officials can take highpaying jobs with companies they formerly regulated. That’s to protect consumers from so-called “regulatory drift,” where political appointees know as they make key decisions that high-paying industry jobs will soon be theirs for the taking so long as they vote the “right way.” Things are very different in California, where members of boards like the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) and the Air Resources Board often exert more power over big companies than their federal counterparts. They make billion-dollar decisions affecting millions of people who buy products like cars, natural gas, telephones and electricity. One recent example of the revolving door came when former PUC member Carla Peterman’s term expired in 2018 and she took a high-paying job as a Southern California Edison

N Co. vice president. This, after spending six years helping determine the electric firm’s rates, profits and the penalties it paid for fires it helped start. A couple of years later, she moved to PG&E in an even highersalaried job. She was far from the first commissioner to make such a shift. As far back as the 1970s, onetime PUC President John Bryson moved to Edison after his term expired, making exponentially more money after becoming the company CEO. Bryson eventually became ex-President Barack Obama’s commerce secretary. The revolving door can move in the other direction, too, as when the former top Edison executive Michael Peevey became PUC president under ex-Govs. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jerry Brown. Peevey presided over several scandalous decisions favoring his former employer, including the 2014 ripoff of Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric customers after the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station had to close because of an Edison blunder. That

ow comes a different form of the revolving door. This time, it involves a state legislator. Lorena Gonalez, the recently resigned Democratic assemblywoman from San Diego, left her $114,000a-year post to become head of the California Labor Federation, with a pay increase of at least $49,000. Gonzalez spent her entire eight-plus years in the Legislature carrying water for organized labor. She authored the ill-fated 2019 law known as AB 5 that aimed to force rideshare drivers for companies like Uber and Lyft into unions. That law had the side effect of wrecking the careers of thousands of other contract workers who never wanted to become regular employees and lost their freelance gigs. As chair of the Assembly Appropriations Committee, Gonzalez shaped scores of other decisions favoring the interests of big labor over employers of all kinds and sizes. Now she’s made it official. Gonzalez, once a labor leader in San Diego County, would have been termed out in just under four years. Now she’ll have no time limit or term limit. There will be no more potential

conflicts of interest, as she will openly advocate for the 1,200 unions in the labor federation. The question raised by all this is the same one that led to the federal waiting periods (which do not apply to members of Congress who often morph into bigmoney lobbyists). Do regulators and in some cases legislators make decisions based on what’s good for the public or are they really working all along for organizations and interests where they know highpaying jobs await them? Because such arrangements are always made confidentially, the public has no way to know which regulators are responding to future payoffs and which are honest. This gives all government regulators a bad name. What’s very clear is that at the very least, California needs waiting periods that approximate what the federal government imposes on its former officials. And any new rules should apply not merely to appointed commissioners, but to ex-legislators as well. — Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

Use of U.S. military Rebecca Ambros’ important letter, “The Role of the Military in the Jan. 6 Riot” had me revisiting Trump’s use of the military at Lafayette Square on June 1, 2020. That military brass denounced this action was reassuring; however on rereading reports, their opposition was only after the fact of Defense Secretary Esper and Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Milley both participating in Trump’s quasi-legal deployment of thousands of state National Guards to D.C. to use chemical sprays and rubber bullets to clear the Square of some 400 peaceful demonstrators. Additionally, two National Guard helicopters hovered just above treetops, a show of force tactic used against insurgents in combat zones. So we see the highest levels of the military chain of command can and have been manipulated by an autocratic president to send thousands of combat trained soldiers to intimidate a few Americans peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights. And there are paramilitary groups of right-wing extremists, some pushing racial and religious ideologies. The division between paramilitary and government militias is blurred since active military, veterans and police are attracted to far right groups and extremists infiltrate state and local police and armed forces to recruit those with training in weapons, surveillance, building explosives, all valuable skills in domestic terrorism. Experts, politicians and former generals see these paramilitary groups as major threats and believe the Pentagon is not adequately responding to and perhaps not even fully aware of their rising numbers and increasing acts of violence. The merging of these two armed groups is ominous per Timothy Snyder, Yale historian on the fall of western democracies to autocrats. “Be wary of paramilitaries.

A national shame In well-appointed homes, on farms, in factories and in restaurants in the U.S., thousands of people, even children, work long days cleaning homes, picking crops, making products, and washing dishes, busing tables and serving customers. They toil for little or no pay for heartless employers unconcerned for their safety or health and, in some cases, ready to use threats or worse to keep them obedient. These are the faces of labor trafficking in the U.S., tens of thousands of people condemned to modern-day slavery in our cities and towns. Ridding the nation of this scourge is difficult. Investigations need overlapping financial, economic and criminal actions to unravel the many bad actors involved. The Department of Labor has a central role in eliminating slavery here and abroad. We work tirelessly to prevent, protect and prosecute those responsible. The department’s Wage and Hour

Division recently engaged in a public dialogue on the topic of human trafficking, and we encourage everyone to read these engaging ideas from diverse range of stakeholders. In December 2021, the White House released the National Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking. The plan re-emphasized the three pillars to address human trafficking – Prevention, Protection, Prosecution – and added Partnerships as the nexus to enable crosscutting approaches and institutional effectiveness. The plan aims to address the root causes of human trafficking by taking action against the systemic injustices that communities, including underserved populations, experience.

Snowflakes, no two are alike By Sara Thompson Special to the Enterprise

M

Toni

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.

At Rotts of Friends Animal Rescue, you’ll find Toni, a handsome, neutered male German shepherd-cattle dog mix. He is a gentle, well trained boy. Toni is very loving and bonds with his human buddies. He has some strangerdanger issues and can become very protective of his family so will do best in a single owner or adult family home. Blaze is a super-sweet 2-year-old neutered male tan cattle dog.

Stain Among them is Stain (A191827) a sassy 1-yearold cream-colored female shorthair, cat who is confident and can’t wait to tell you all about her day. She also is just as happy to curl up in your lap. Also hoping for a good home is Jackie (A190492), a stunning 1-year-old female German shepherd. Jackie has a lot of energy, very playful and loves daily walks. Jackie is learning to make friends with other dogs and hoping for a patient owner to help her learn social skills.

This guy is very friendly and would make a great family dog or a buddy for a single person. He loves to play with toys and hang with his friends.

For information on adopting, contact adopt ycas@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.

A snowflake dangles on a spider web in Poland.

Explorit Science Center temperature and the humidity of the air the flake is falling through. As the air changes so do the branches. Some will develop more facets with smaller branches, or just have one set of branches. Some branches are plate-like, while others look like small trees. Each snowflake will experience a different condition while it forms causing no two to ever be alike. Some will be very similar, but never exactly alike. There is a fun and sparkly way to make snowflakes at home. All you will need is some paper, glue from a bottle (not a glue stick) and salt. Lay your paper on a counter or table and make a snowflake shape with your glue. You can find a template online if you like, but you can make your own, just remember to make it six sided and symmetrical. Before the glue dries, sprinkle salt on the paper

and glue. The salt will stick to the glue and harden with it. When it dries you will have a sparkly snowflake. Optionally, you can color the salt blue or another color to make your snowflake colorful. ———— Explorit’s coming events: n Explorit is open to the public on Fridays from 1 to 4 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission is $5 per person.

ost people have learned that snowflakes are frozen water droplets that fall in places that have temperatures below freezing. Although that description is true, snowflakes go through a much more detailed process to become the beautiful crystals we know. One of the first people to photograph snowflakes is Wilson Bentley in 1885 and continued to do so for the rest of his life. His photographs showed that not only do snowflakes all have six points and are symmetrical, but no two are completely alike. The air gets cooler the higher up in the atmosphere you get. When a cloud, which is made up evaporated water, becomes oversaturated the water will begin to fall. In warm weather it will be rain, but when the temperature is cool enough snow will form. Snowflake formation, however, is more than just falling, frozen water. Snowflakes begin when water vapor begins to crystallize around a particle in the air, such as dust or pollen. Because of the shape of the water molecules, the crystal, called a facet, will take a six-sided, hexagonal shape. After the nucleus has formed, more water vapor will crystallize at the points of the facet, making the long, thin branches we all recognize. This is the basic recipe for forming a snowflake. But the reason why no two snowflakes are the same are because of the conditions in which each of the parts form. Even though a facet will always be sixsided, the shape of the branches depend on the

SACRAMENTO — Otolaryngologist Toby Steele and molecular neuroscientist Qizhi Gong recently received a two-year, $275,000 National Institutes of Health grant to study how COVID-19 disrupts the sense of smell. In this unique collaboration, the UC Davis Health team hopes to potentially identify diagnostic tools and therapeutic treatments. They’ll be characterizing the severity and length of patient smell loss, collecting samples and conducting in-depth protein analyses to dissect the mechanisms that cause olfactory dysfunction. “We really don’t understand how COVID is creating both acute and chronic smell loss,” said Steele, associate professor of Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery at UC Davis Health. “To figure that out, we’re going to study samples from COVID patients with

acute olfactory loss and see if we can find a molecular fingerprint.” Steele has been studying olfactory loss in patients for more than a year. He received earlier support from UC Davis’s COVID-19 Research Accelerator Fund, and one of his residents presented their work at a weekly Zoom meeting to disseminate COVID findings. Gong was in the meeting and saw a great opportunity to pool their expertise. “I was super excited because my research is on olfaction using animal models,” said Gong, professor in the Department of Cell Biology and Human Anatomy. “I had been looking for a way to contribute to our understanding of COVID and olfaction.”

The cost Around 80% of COVID patients experience some olfactory loss. Most recover in a few

weeks, but some may never regain their sense of smell. While loss of smell and taste are often considered mild symptoms, they are far from trivial. Patients describe a wide range of quality-of-life issues, from eating tasteless food to missing their partner’s cologne. People are more likely to be depressed, gain weight and even miss common danger signals we usually take for granted.

Dividing the work The partnership begins in Steele’s clinic, where he extracts nasal samples around olfactory cells, which are only found in small patches in the nasal cavity. These cells are relatively rare and difficult to sample,

making them challenging to study. Steele’s rhinology expertise helps him pinpoint where to collect the appropriate samples. In addition to getting samples, Steele’s group carefully characterizes each patient’s symptoms. Most studies ask patients to self-assess their smell loss, which can be imprecise. To get more objective data, Steele’s team uses a 40-item smell identification test, the scientific version of a scratch and sniff. With these results, they can determine whether a patient has mild, moderate or severe microsmia (reduced `ability to smell) or full-on anosmia (complete loss of smell). — UC Davis Health News

HOMELESS: Wages too low to retain outreach workers From Page A1 to quit. Abandoning her clients broke her heart all over again. Turnover has long plagued the homeless services field. COVID19 has only made the problem worse as the omicron surge causes worker shortages across California’s economy. And without enough service workers, the state’s ambitious, multibilliondollar strategy for reducing homelessness is unlikely to work. Most people who enter social work know to expect small paychecks; they’re driven by compassion and a desire for positive change. But caring too much can be crushing when housing is elusive, mental health services scant, and communication splintered among the myriad entities who decide the fate of the unhoused. “We’re paying these folks pennies on the dollar to burn themselves out completely,” said Tami McVay, assistant program director at Self-Help Enterprises, which serves disadvantaged communities in the San Joaquin Valley. When you bring up staff turnover or vacancies with any provider or advocate, they nod vigorously. The mostly government-contracted private organizations serving people experiencing homelessness have waged an uphill battle to recruit and retain workers into their fast-growing workforce, including some formerly homeless individuals. L.A.-based People Assisting The Homeless, or PATH, which serves about a fifth of the state’s homeless population, has hired seven recruiters to help fill 340 vacancies, out of 1,100 jobs, said CEO Jennifer Hark Dietz. It’s now taking an average of four

months to fill any given spot. And that’s before the latest homelessness budget, approved last summer by Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature, floods providers with $12 billion over the next two years. The state says the funding will require thousands of new positions in the homeless response system. “We have all this money,” said Farrah McDaid Ting, a senior legislative representative with the California State Association of Counties. “Can we really do this if we don’t have the people? I think there could be a real limitation.”

Good jobs wanted

Keith Jones, who was formerly homeless, cleans the facilities provided by Shower of Hope, a program that provides mobile showers to people who are unhoused.

At the root of the worker shortage — which advocates say is really a shortage of good jobs — is low wages. Most homeless services organizations CalMatters spoke with pay starting frontline workers between $16 and $18 an hour, barely higher than minimum wage. They openly admit it’s far too little for the grueling labor, and often isn’t enough to live in expensive California cities. “In the homeless services sector, it’s like: You didn’t get this paperwork in on time, I lost my housing, or my legs are hurting, I think I might have a blood clot,” said Mel Tillekeratne, executive director of Shower of Hope, which runs 22 mobile shower sites across Los Angeles County. “It’s an unbelievably high amount of stress. I’ve seen so many outreach workers completely checked out.” According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, people employed in emergency and other relief services — including homeless service providers — made an average annual salary

of $49,616 in 2020. Why not pay more? Tillekeratne says government contracts usually cap personnel costs. He had to raise money privately, for example, to offer hazard pay at the start of the pandemic. Federal and state grants usually come in bursts and have short timelines, forcing organizations to fill temporary positions before they expire. If they don’t leave homeless services completely, workers will switch jobs for $1 or $2 more an hour. Or, if they get promoted, they often lose direct contact with clients, adding to a sense that frontline work is undervalued, said Earl Edwards, a graduate student at the University of California, Los Angeles who interviewed 11 case managers. “A lot of individuals didn’t see a pathway for them to stay doing this work,” Edwards said. Most organizations that serve homeless individuals often hire people who are just exiting homelessness themselves: “That also adds an additional level of trauma,” he said.

Shelter workers in Fresno constantly reach out about “unstable living arrangements of their own, asking for housing,” said Katie Wilbur, executive director of RH Community Builders. The fewer employees with master’s degrees in social work often earn higher salaries, but even those aren’t high enough to keep them from more lucrative jobs, explains Donna Gallup, an assistant professor at Azusa Pacific’s Department of Social Work, who runs a pilot program to recruit more students into the homeless services field. “If you have an opportunity as a graduate student, with student debt, you may select a school, a hospital or another nonprofit where you are not having to work with a stigmatized population that is very demanding and the work conditions, especially with COVID,” Gallup said. “It has been a challenge.” Newsom’s proposed 2022 budget, which still has to be negotiated with the Legislature, includes $1.7 billion over three years to expand the state’s health

and human services workforce “with improved diversity, wages, and health equity outcomes,” said Rodger Butler, a spokesman for the California Health and Human Services Agency. But even that may not be enough. “Until … funding is commensurate to offer living wages across positions in the sector, it’ll be hard to train our way out of this crisis,” said Mari Castaldi, senior legislative advocate on homelessness at Housing California. To increase the wages of the lowest-paid workers, the nonprofit is calling for a supplemental appropriation — on top of $2 billion over two years in flexible spending in last year’s budget that cities and counties will use to pay nonprofit partners to run most of these homeless programs. “We don’t think it makes sense to say to service providers, ‘You get to choose between serving the number of clients that you set forth to serve, or increasing wages,’” Castaldi said.

Underpaid, burned out But pay is only one part of the problem, says Deborah Son, executive director of the National Association of Social Workers’ California chapter. She represents 9,000 of the state’s roughly 75,000 certified social workers — and says all of them are impacted by the severe shortage of affordable housing in California. “We can bulk up the workforce and get people jobs and create jobs,” she said, “but if we don’t create the housing structures that are necessary, and we’re talking about the intricate systems necessary, your efforts become moot.”

BLOWERS: Impact on small businesses weighs on council From Page A1 businesses, maybe even individuals,” noted Councilman Will Arnold. So the impact on them would be greater than for a larger lawn-care company, he said. On the other hand, noted Arnold, the climate crisis will never be solved if issues like this aren’t figured out. “Both ideas can be true,” he said. “So I think where I end up on this issue (is) I do think there’s some wisdom to following the state’s lead on this.” That said, he and his council colleagues agreed, the city itself can take the lead in its own operations by switching to electric leaf blowers for park and greenbelt maintenance. “And maybe we’ll show ourselves as a model for how this can work on big landscapes and that will have the apartment complex owners and others maybe see that, ‘Hey, it can be done on a big strip of land,’” said Arnold. That also gives folks time to phase out their gaspowered blowers and time, too, for the city to come up with an incentive program using state funds, he added. “We should definitely seek to vie for some of the dollars the state is going to be putting forward,” said Vice Mayor Lucas Frerichs. Councilman Josh Chapman agreed. “A huge part of it is the incentive side and how do we as a city put forward something innovative and creative to really get that ball moving forward,” said Chapman, who added that for him to get behind any city mandate on leaf

blowers, incentives would be critical. “A big part of it for me,” he said, “is I struggle as a small-business owner around a mandate that’s not funded and around a mandate that really does get to an industry where the margins are small. “What does that look like and what are the impacts… on a sole proprietor or a business owner who has one other employee? How do we find a way to support everyone in the community on both sides of this debate that we’re having?” Mayor Gloria Partida noted that Davis has “a very large, sole-proprietor group of companies that work here,” adding that “it’s a tough industry to work in.” “The company that I have… are a group of individuals with disabilities and they do a great job,” Partida said. “And they would definitely have a hard time finding employment anywhere else. “There are a lot of folks in that same boat so I would just like a little more information and maybe with more information we can do some sort of a hybrid (plan), banning leaf blowers in some situations and making some exceptions in others.” The council’s discussion last week centered on a series of recommendations put forward by the city’s Natural Resources Commission. The short-term recommendations: n Make the current prohibition on leaf blowers on bad-air days permanent for all city and city contractor use;

n Prohibit all use of leaf blowers before 8 a.m. Monday through Friday and before 9 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday; and n Launch a campaign to raise awareness about exhaust emissions, dust and debris pollution from leaf blowers, as well as the benefits of leaf mulching, and promote use of electric leaf vacuums as an alternative to blowers. The commission’s longterm recommendations: n Prohibit the use of all gas-powered leaf blowers within the city by Jan. 1, 2023, with limited exceptions for the use of gaspowered vacuums for public landscape, park maintenance and public safety needs; and n Prohibit the use of all leaf blowers — gas or electric — on residential lots (including single-family homes and apartment complexes) by Jan. 1, 2024. Council members voiced support for all of the shortterm recommendations but were unwilling to move forward on either of the long-term recommendations. “I’m in agreement with the NRC’s short-term actions,” said Frerichs. “Those all make a lot of sense. “I think where I have a slightly different take on this issue is in terms of the long-term solution. I’m not at this point in favor of a full phase-out,” he said. The landscape and lawncare industry is an important source of employment for many people, particularly Latinos, Frerichs said, “and I worry about that adverse impact. “I think there’s going to

be a real impact there if we’re not careful about it.” Indeed, the city last year sent surveys to all landscapers with a business license in Davis and Woodland as well as additional businesses in Davis. Ninety-five responded, with most reporting while a ban on all leaf blowers would significantly impact business, a ban on gaspowered blowers might not. “The question was asked, are folks very concerned, somewhat concerned or not concerned about restrictions on gas-powered blowers and 35 percent were very concerned, 15 percent were somewhat concerned and 49 percent were not concerned,” said Councilman Dan Carson. That tells him, he said, that the time is right for a shift to electric leaf blowers “and I think it’s a bold step.” But he favors a longer timeline. “As a policy maker … it really seems … the first big move here is to phase out gas-powered leaf blowers in the city some time after 2024,” he said. That would give the professional landscapers who, on average, use their equipment for about three years, Carson said, time “to run out the useful life of their equipment and then make this transfer.” “I don’t agree that a total ban on leaf blowers is necessary,” Carson added. “Just a phase out of gas-powered equipment.” Carson also noted that a survey done last year of Davis residents showed the most-cited concern when it comes to leaf blowers is noise. And electric blowers,

Carson said, are quieter than gas-powered blowers. “So it’s possible a move to electric blowers might not completely end that, but may diminish some of that concern.” But the bottom line for Carson, he told his colleagues, is that he wants to “stay in the same lane” as the state. In explaining the Natural Resources Commission’s recommendation for moving faster than the state, commission chair Hannah Safford said, “No one is trying to put landscapers out of work.” The concerns the commission has heard about leaf blowers have to do with the air-quality impacts of gas-powered emissions, she said, but also the noise and the dust and particulate matter all leaf blowers kick up. “I understand the hesitation around a full ban,” Safford said, “but there also will be negatives to leaving electric blowers in place. “There are alternatives to blowers,” she added.

“There’s manual alternatives and then also the availability, and likely increasing availability, of high-quality leaf vacuums that makes us think this is feasible. “Perhaps not on such a short timeline that we recommended,” Safford said, “but I think it’s feasible and the city should consider pushing forward.” Going forward, a revised leaf blower ordinance will likely return to the council implementing the commission’s short-term recommendations and city staff will explore incentive options to assist people in transitioning from gaspowered to electric blowers, according to City Manager Mike Webb. Staff will also return to the council with more information, including a cost-benefit analysis, of the city itself switching to electric leaf blowers for maintenance of parks and greenbelts, he said. — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@ davisenterprise.net.

Two chamber music concerts set for weekend By Jeff Hudson Special to The Enterprise Two contrasting chamber music concerts are coming up this weekend — each featuring musicians who have been performing regularly in Davis for two decades or so. The Chamber Music Society of Sacramento — which has been led for 34 seasons by violinist (and El Macero resident) William Barbini — will feature two guest artists in concert on Saturday night at at 7:30 p.m. at The Episcopal Chuch of St. Martin, 640 Hawthorn Lane in Davis, accompanied by a core group of musicians who appear with the Chamber Music Society regularly. The guest artists are soprano Carrie Hennesey and pianist Jennifer Reason. Hennessey is a versatile vocalist who has performed with a number of opera companies and orchestras; locally she has appeared several times with the Chamber Music Society of Sacramento, and in recitals at the Pitzer Center sponsored by the UC Davis music department. Reason has performed at many well-known venues in the United States and Europe. Locally, she performed last November at the Mondavi Center as a piano soloist with the UC Davis Symphony Orchestra. Radio listeners may also recognize her as a

The Alexander String Quartet will play at Mondavi on Sun Jan 30. knowledgeable classical music host with Capital Public Radio in Sacramento. The concert will begin with the Beethoven Sonata in C Minor (No. 7) for piano and violin. Then come three selections by French composers that will feature soprano Carrie Hennesey — Maurice Ravel’s “Chanson Madécasses” (for soprano, flute, cello and piano); Ernest Chausson’s “Chanson Perpétuelle” for soprano and piano quintet; and Cécile Chaminade’s “Portrait” for soprano, flute and piano. Closing the program will be the String Quartet in E-flat Major by Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel.

(The Chamber Music Society has made a point in recent years of regularly featuring works by female composers — Cécile Chaminade lived from 1857 to 1944, and Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel lived from 1805 to 1847.) Tickets for the Chamber Music Society’s Saturday evening concert in Davis are $30 general, $25 seniors (age 60+), and $12 students with ID/children. Information online at cmssacto.org. The same program featuring the same musicians will be performned on Sunday (Jan. 30) at 4 p.m. in Capistrano Hall on the Sacramento State university campus.

The Alexander String Quartet — plus guest artist Steven D’Amico, double bass — will perform on Sunday, Jan. 30, at 2 p.m. in the Mondavi Center’s Jackson Hall, in a concert that will feature two works by 19th Century Czech composer Antonín Dvorák (1841-1904), who is the focus of the Alexander String Quartet’s concerts in Davis this season. The Alexander String Quartet first appeared at the Mondavi Center during the venue’s first season (2002-03), and has performed several times each season at Mondavi since that time. The ASQ’s Sunday afternoon concerts

Soprano Carrie Hennesey will appear on Saturday, Jan. 29, with the Chamber Music Society of Sacramento at Episcopal Church of St. Martin in Davis. have also featured comments about the music (and its historical context) by popular lecturer, music historian and composer Robert Greenberg (who will be participating in the Jan. 30 program at Mondavi). The program will featuring an 1887 composition for string quartet by Dvorák, titled “Cypresses,” which is made up of 12 string quartet adaptations of what were love songs Dvorák had composed several years earlier, and originally intended to be performed by voice and piano. “Cypresses” is not one of the composer’s most

famous works for string quartet, but “Cypresses” contains some lovely passages, as well as and a number of musical ideas that would later reappear in reworked form as part of subsequent works by the composer, as he became more and more famous over the years. Also on the program will be Dvorák’s Quintet in G Major for two violins, viola, cello and double bass, Op. 77, from 1875. This instrumental lineup is basically the standard string quartet instrument “plus one.” The addition of the double bass gives the music with some additional lower-range sounds, providing a sense of sonic depth which you wouldn’t ordinarily find coming from the standard string quartet lineup. The double bass performer for this concert will be Steven D’Amico, who is the Assistant Principal Double Bass with the San Francisco Opera Orchestra, and also served for many seasons as Principal Double Bass with the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra. Tickets for the Alexander String Quartet’s Sunday, Jan. 30 performance are $65-$35 general, with discounts for students, MondaviArts.org. Concertgoers need to show proof of vaccination and wear a facemask at all times (N95 or KN95 masks preferred, using a cloth facemask alone is discouraged).

Groundbreaking art at The California Studio Special to The Enterprise The California Studio: Manetti Shrem Artist Residencies in the UC Davis Department of Art and Art History will welcome acclaimed painter Jennifer Packer to campus in February. Packer currently has solo exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. She will work with students and give a public talk at 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 10 at Wright Hall at UC Davis. The California Studio was launched in the fall of 2021 with a $750,000 gift from Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem. The program brings to campus spotlight artists such as Packer for up to 10 days, with teaching artists-in-residence for a full academic quarter. All the visiting artists interact with undergraduate students and Master of Fine Arts students as part of UC Davis’ commitment to hands-on studio art education. Packer’s intimate, loosely rendered portraits depict friends and family casually posing in personal spaces. Using a limited color palette, the demarcation between figure and setting is often hazy and fluid. Of her paintings, Packer has said, “It’s not figures, not bodies, but humans I am painting. I hope to make works that suggest how dynamic and complex our lives and relationships really are.” Her art sometimes reflects on instances of institutional

violence toward African Americans. “Blessed Are Those Who Mourn (Breonna! Breonna!)” refers to the police killing of Breonna Taylor in her apartment in 2020. It is not a painting of Taylor, but of a man lying on a couch. “Say Her Name,” from 2017, commemorates the life of Sandra Bland, who died in police custody after being arrested during a traffic stop. The painting is a floral still life, which is another type of work Packer does frequently.

‘The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild’: Dino slight By Derrick Bang Enterprise film critic

‘The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild’

Ergo, this new film — for better or worse — is an “Ice Age” entry as “adjusted” by Disney. Fans familiar with the Blue Sky “look” will immediately notice that the animation here isn’t nearly as lush. This less expensive approach also explains the fact that all the original voice actors — Ray Romano (Manny), John Leguizamo (Sid), Queen Latifah (Ellie), Denis Leary (Diego), Sean William Scott (Crash) and Josh Peck (Eddie) — have been replaced by lesser-known

individuals who sound remarkably like their predecessors. All that having been said… Manny (Sean Kenin), Ellie (Dominique Jennings), Sid (Jake Green) and Diego (Skyler Stone) are enjoying life in Snow Valley, but Crash (Vincent Tong) and Eddie (Aaron Harris) are restless; the environment simply isn’t exciting enough to satisfy their fondness for extreme stunts. The overly protective Ellie doesn’t help matters; as the possums grouse to each other, “She’s smothering us with reasonable advice.” With the unchecked exuberance of reckless teenagers (which we assume they are), Crash and Eddie return to the one place that

guarantees the peril they crave: the underground “Lost World” of dinosaurs introduced in the aforementioned third film. Unfortunately, things have become much more dangerous since their previous visit. The truce orchestrated by Buck (Simon Pegg, the sole returning voice actor) — which finds mammals and dinosaurs coexisting for their mutual benefit — is threatened by the evil Orson (Utkarsh Ambudkar), a mutant, bigbrained Protoceratops who controls an army of nasty velociraptors. In a bid to stifle evolution, Orson wants the Lost World to be occupied solely by dinosaurs, and he’ll

STUDIO: Artist looks to future and draws from art history From Page B1 Although engaged with contemporary art and issues, Packer is also in a dialogue with art history, and she has pointed to Caravaggio, Titian and others as

inspirations for her practice and, at times, references for specific works. Packer’s paintings were included in the 2019 Whitney Biennial, and she has received awards from the American Academy in Rome

and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. She holds a MFA from Yale University School of Art and a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the Tyler University School of Art at Temple University.

She lives in New York. The California Studio artists for the spring will be spotlight artist Ann Hamilton and teaching artist-inresidence Beatriz Cortez. Hamilton is the winner of the National Medal of the

Arts and a MacArthur Fellow. She is internationally recognized for her largescale multimedia installations. Cortez is a cultural critic and visual artist who is a professor at CSUN.

cheerfully eradicate every mammal in the process. Crash and Eddie are hopelessly out of their depth; for that matter, even Buck finds the odds overwhelming. Enter the sleek, athletic Zee (Justina Machado), a zorilla (striped polecat) with an awesome array of weapons stashed in her Batmanlike utility belt. It’s nice to add a kick-ass female character to this male-dominated franchise. (Manny and Ellie’s daughter Peaches seems to have followed Scrat into oblivion.) Zee easily steals the film, Machado giving her just the right blend of snark and sassy coolness. The subsequent confrontations, melees and hair’sbreadth escapes are orchestrated with pizzazz by Donkin, who keeps things moving at a brisk clip. Pianist/composer Batu Sener, in his feature film debut, enhances the action with an equally lively score. At an economical 81 minutes, this film knows when to get off the stage. It’s fun and lively, and I’ve no doubt children will be entertained. But there’s very little here for older viewers, who likely will miss the heart and soul that Wedge and Blue Sky brought to this franchise. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http://derrickbang.blogspot. com.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 2022 B7

Blue Devils ground Eagles By Rebecca Wasik Enterprise correspondent Cheers and applause filled Ron and Mary Brown Stadium on Thursday before the Davis High boys soccer team even took the field to record a 3-0 win over Pleasant Grove in a Delta League game. On Senior Night, Davis honored the nine seniors who were playing their second-to-last regular season high school soccer game at home. Each Blue Devil seniors and their parents and family were celebrated. The parents and family were given a picture of their son’s face on a popsicle stick, along with other gifts. “It was really nice,” said Blue Devil Zach Anderson, a senior cocaptain. “All the parents, family, and friends that came out as well as some students who came out too. It was a really nice environment and fun to play in.” Davis (8-1 in the DL, 11-1) secured its first shot on goal of the

game against Pleasant Grove High in the 13th minute of the game when Nic Montano’s kick was stopped by the Eagles’ goalie. After two narrow misses to the sides of the goal in minutes 19 and 21 respectively, Davis sunk its first goal 23 minutes into the game. Daniel Jebri hit the back of the net with an assist from Simon VacaLorenzi. At the end of the first half, the Blue Devils led the Eagles 1-0. Then 50 minutes into the game, Blue Devil Deepak Sah had a shot on goal that the Eagles’ goalie saved despite falling hard onto the turf. Four minutes later, Montano had a shot on goal off his head that was stopped by Pleasant Grove’s goalie. In the 72nd minute, VacaLorenzi sunk a head shot into the back of the net for Davis’ second goal of the night. Three minutes later, Sah put the ball in the net as well to give Davis the 3-0 lead with only five minutes left in the game. In the last minute of the game, the Eagles tried to avoid a shutout

with a final kick. But the ball sailed to the right of the goalpost. The Blue Devils had possession of the ball for most of the game and gameplay was predominately on their offensive half. “We moved the ball well,” said Anderson. “We had like 90% possession, so we created a lot of opportunities, and we got a lot of shots on goals.” Seniors on Davis’ squad include Anderson, Wingo, Kai Peris, Evan Stafford, Zachary Agnew, Kyler Wyels, Sah, Justin Rager and Jebri. On Tuesday, Davis plays at Jesuit at 3 p.m. In their first meeting on Jan. 6 at Ron and Mary Brown Stadium, the Blue Devils posted a 2-1 win over Jesuit (6-2-1 in the DL, 13-2-2), which is in second place. The top four teams in the DL advance to the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs, which begin on Feb. 10. Davis’ final home game of the regular season will be against Sheldon on Thursday, Feb. 3. — Follow Rebecca Wasik on Twitter: @BeccaFromTheBay.

FALL: Aggies have home game on Saturday

The Davis High girls soccer team played against Pleasant Grove’s squad in a key Delta League game in Elk Grove on Thursday, which ended in a 1-1 tie. Davis (4-1-5 in the DL, 5-1-5) scored its only goal of the game in the second half. The Eagles recorded their only goal in the first half. On Tuesday, the Blue Devils posted a 1-0 win over Franklin at Ron and Mary Brown Stadium. The Blue Devils have won four of their last six league games. On Tuesday, Davis welcomes St. Francis (7-2-1 in the DL, 12-4-3), which occupies first place. Game time is 7 p.m. According to the Sac-Joaquin Section’s Website — www.cifsjs.org — the Delta League will send its top four teams into the playoffs, which is scheduled to start on Feb. 11.

3-pointer in the first 15 seconds and the Aggies quickly jumped to a 42-35 lead. The Titans, now 3-0 in Big West road games, returned the favor with a 12-2 run to take a 47-44 lead with 11:48 remaining. The two were tied at 49-49, but from that point on Fullerton went on a 25-9 tear that included an 18-4 run to close the game. Pepper, who was four of six from long range after his early success in

the second half, never got another 3-point look as the Titans played stellar defense down the stretch. Fullerton finished 13 of 13 from the foul line, while the Aggies were just 4 of 10. “We jumped out to a nice lead to start the second half, but we just couldn’t execute the way we needed to,” Les added. UCD has little time to recover as Long Beach State comes in Saturday for a 1 p.m. Big West game. “We have no excuses,” Les noted. “We have to be able to hit

the ground running. We have another very good team coming in here, so we have a lot of work to do on Friday to get ready.” Long Beach is now 4-1 in Big West play after a 68-62 win Thursday over UC Riverside. In other Big West action, UC Irvine stopped Cal State Bakersfield, 57-52, and Cal Poly SLO dropped UC San Diego, 5955. — Contact Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

Freshman Sam Rhodes is this week’s Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Female Athlete of the Week after her breakout performance in a Jan. 22 dual meet at Fresno State. Rhodes won the 100 breast at 1 minutes, 04.89 seconds, 200 breast (2:19.33), and 200 IM (2:06.64) to lead the Aggies against the Bulldogs. Her 100 breast time was a collegiate personal record by 31 hundredths of a second. It’s Rhodes’ first career Athlete of the Week award. Rhodes and the Aggies only have one more dual meet on the docket this year, an MPSF home meet on Saturday against Pacific when UC Davis will also hold a senior day ceremony at the first break for its outgoing student-athletes. Then UCD will have two weeks to taper and peak for the MPSF Championships Feb. 16-19 in Los Angeles.

While at UCD, Hackett was a four-year letter-winner as a linebacker and a short and long snapper from 1999-2002. He helped the Aggies reach the playoffs each of his four seasons. The Aggies reached the quarterfinals in 1999 and 2002 and the semifinals in 2000 and 2001. “Nathaniel’s coming to UCD to play for us in the late 90s was in some ways an inevitable as his dad

played for us,” said Biggs of Nathaniel Hackett. During his four seasons, UCD had a combined record of 41-9, including a 10-2 record that included a 12-1 record in 2000 and 9-3 in 2002. Hackett won the George Belenis Award in 1998 as the team's Most Outstanding Redshirt and the Aggie Pride Award in 2002 as a senior. During his NFL coaching career, Paul Hackett was a quarterbacks coach or offensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New York Jets,

Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE — FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 2022

Green Bay Packers/Courtesy photo

Nathaniel Hackett, a former UC Davis football player, served as offensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers for three seasons. On Thursday, the Denver Broncos named him their next head coach.

Ex-Aggie is the new Broncos head coach By Mike Bush Enterprise sports editor Nathaniel Hackett is headed back West. The former UC Davis football player, who played linebacker and long snapper, and started his football coaching career with the Aggies, was confirmed Thursday to become the next Denver Broncos head coach. Hackett would becomes the 17th head coach in the franchise history. “We at UC Davis are all very proud of what Nathaniel has accomplished in his career,” said former UC Davis football head coach Bob Biggs, who coached Hackett from 1999 to 2002. “To be named the head coach for the Denver Broncos seems only fitting for a young man who has prepared himself for this challenge his whole adult life.” Hackett, whose father, Paul, is also a former UCD football player, is believed to become the first UCD graduate to be named head coach of an NFL team. “Nate was not only bright, motivated and fiercely competitive, but balanced that personality with a great sense of humor and somewhat of a prankster,” Biggs said. “He kept everyone on the team in stitches both on and off the field. His very relatable personality, acute football knowledge and competitive spirit will lend itself well to the role of head coach. I couldn’t be prouder of Nathaniel and more happy for his wife Megan and their kids for this well deserved opportunity.” Former UCD football players who reached higher levels are quarterback Khari Jones, who is currently the head coach of the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League, and current Aggie head coach Dan Hawkins, who was briefly a head coach of the Alouettes. According to milehighreport.com Website on Thursday, Hackett, 42, was one of 10 candidates interviewed for the Broncos' head coaching position. Denver interviewed him twice.

The head coaching position became vacant when earlier this month the Broncos fired Vic Fangio after three seasons. Denver finished this season with a 7-10 record and went 19-30 during Fangio’s time in charge. For the last three seasons, Hackett has been the offensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers. This season, the Packers (13-4) — who were the top seed in the NFC Playoffs until No. 6 seed San Francisco 49ers defeated them 13-10 in an NFC Divisional Playoff Game on Jan. 22 — scored 450 points. Before running the Packers' offense, Hackett was the offensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars. In the 2017 season, Hackett and the Jaguars won the AFC South and played in the AFC Championship Game, but the New England Patriots posted a 24-20 win to advance to Super Bowl LII. Hackett was the quarterbacks coach for the Jaguars from 2015 to 2016. Then during the 2016 season, Hackett became the interim offensive coordinator after previous offensive coordinator Greg Olson was fired. Hackett became the new offensive coordinator entering the 2017 season. Prior to coaching with the Jaguars, Hackett was the offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills from 2013-14. From 2010 to 2012, Hackett served as offensive coordinator, quarterbacks and tight ends coach at Syracuse. He was also the passing game coordinator/quarterbacks/tight ends coach in his first season. In 2008 and 2009, Hackett was the offensive quality control for the Buffalo Bills. In 2006, Hackett landed his first NFL coaching job in the same role with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for two seasons. Hackett started his coaching career at UCD in 2003 as an assistant linebacker's coach. Then he went to Stanford, which he served as an offensive and defensive assistant to coordinators. He

UC Davis guard Ezra Manjon (5) looks to move past two CSU Fullerton players in Thursday’s Big West Conference game at the University Credit Union Center.

UC Davis falls to the Titans By Bob Dunning Enterprise staff writer Cal State Fullerton broke open a tight game over the final nine minutes and went on to drop UC Davis, 74-58, in a Big West men’s basketball showdown Thursday night before a crowd of 579 at University Credit Union Center. The win, Fullerton’s eighth in a row, keeps the streaking Titans atop the league standings with a 5-0 mark, while the Aggies drop to 1-2 in Big West play and 8-6 overall. “They ramped up their physical toughness down the stretch and we didn’t ramp up ours,” said Aggie head coach Jim Les afterward. “We just didn’t respond to it. We got a little sloppy and needed to slow down and

read what they were doing. Instead, the game got away from us.” It was a disappointing loss for the Aggies in that they came out hot on offense and aggressive on defense to forge a 28-17 lead — their biggest of the night — with 8:19 left in the first half. Elijah Pepper keyed the early rally with three straight 3-point bombs and it looked as if a rout might be in store. At that point, however, the basketball gods put a lid on the Aggie basket and UCD proceeded to miss its final 13 shots before intermission, scoring just two points on free throws for the remainder of the half, which ended in a 30-30 deadlock. UCD seemed to regain its form after the break as Pepper hit another

Rent-to-own agreements REAL ESTATE 101

Most homeowners use a mortgage to finance the purchase of a new home. But for those who lack a good credit score or cash for a down payment, the traditional route to homeownership may be fraught with potholes. There may be a solution, however, with the right seller and the right property.

Rent-to-Own Agreements Rent-to-own agreements are where the buyer agrees to rent a home for a certain amount of time with the option to buy it before the lease expires, Investopedia says. They consist of two parts: The standard lease agreement and the option to buy. The buyer may also be required to pay the seller a one-time, usually non refundable fee called the option fee, option money or option consideration. This fee gives you the option to buy the house at some date in the future and usually ranges between 1% and 5% of the purchase price. Lease-Option vs. Lease-Purchase Lease-option contracts give you the right but not the obligation to buy the home when the lease expires. If, when the lease is up, you decide not to purchase, the option just expires and you can walk away from the property. With a lease-purchase agreement, you could be legally obligated to buy the home at the end of the lease, whether you can afford it at not. Investopedia recommends having a qualified real estate attorney review any agreement before you sign it. Agreeing on the Purchase Price Make sure any agreement specifies when and how the home’s purchase price is determined. The buyer and seller may agree on a price when the agreement is signed or the price may be determined when the lease expires. Some buyers may prefer to lock in a purchase price, especially in areas where the market is particularly hot. During the lease term, you’ll pay rent to a landlord. Your agreement will stipulate whether any of that applies to the eventual purchase price. If the rent does apply, look for that rent to be higher than the going rate for your area to make up for the rent credit you receive. The option money may also be applied to the eventual purchase price. Read your agreement thoroughly so that you understand what your obligations are. Home Maintenance Your agreement should also stipulate who is responsible for maintaining the property during the term of your agreement. Sellers may choose to cover costs they would generally be responsible for, Investopedia says, such as homeowners association fees, taxes and insurance. Sellers should get a renter’s insurance policy of their own and also make sure they know what maintenance and repair requirements are their responsibility. Some jobs that may be the buyer’s responsibility may include mowing the lawn, cleaning gutters and more. —HomeWise

Annual existing-home sales hit highest mark since 2006 Monthly sales drop 4.6% in December WASHINGTON — Existing-home sales declined in December, snapping a streak of three straight months of gains, according to the National Association of Realtors®. Each of the four major U.S. regions witnessed sales fall in December from both a monthover-month and a year-over-year basis. Despite the drop, overall sales for 2021 increased 8.5%. Total existing-home sales, https://www.nar.realtor/ existing-home-sales, completed transactions that include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, dropped 4.6% from November to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.18 million in December. From a year-over-year perspective, sales waned 7.1% (6.65 million in December 2020). "December saw sales retreat, but the pull back was more a sign of supply constraints than an indication of a weakened demand for housing," said Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist. "Sales for the entire year finished strong, reaching the highest annual level since 2006." Yun, however, does expect existing-home sales to slow slightly in the coming months due to higher mortgage rates, but noted that recent employment gains and stricter underwriting standards ensure home sales are in no danger of crashing. He forecasts rates to remain below 4% by year-end and wages to hold firm due to a tight labor market. "This year, consumers should prepare to endure some increases in mortgage rates," Yun cautioned. "I also expect home prices to grow more moderately by 3% to 5% in 2022, and then similarly in 2023 as more supply reaches the market." Total housing inventory at the end of December amounted to 910,000 units, down 18.0% from November and down 14.2% from one year ago (1.06 million). Unsold inventory sits at a 1.8-month supply

at the present sales pace, down from 2.1 months in November and from 1.9 months in December 2020. "We saw inventory numbers hit an all-time low in December," Yun said. "Home builders have already made strides in 2022 to increase supply, but reversing gaps like the ones we've seen recently will take years to correct." The median existing-home price for all housing types in December was $358,000, up 15.8% from December 2020 ($309,200), as prices rose in each region. The South witnessed the highest pace of appreciation. This marks 118 straight months of year-overyear increases, the longest-running streak on record. Properties typically remained on the market for 19 days in December, one day more than the 18 days seen in November, and down from 21 days in December 2020. Seventy-nine percent of homes sold in December 2021 were on the market for less than a month. First-time buyers were responsible for 30% of sales in December, up from 26% in November and down from 31% in December 2020. NAR's 2021 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers – released in late 2021 – reported that the annual share of first-time buyers was 34%. Individual investors or second-home buyers, who make up many cash sales, purchased 17% of homes in December, up from 15% in November and up from 14% in December 2020. All-cash sales accounted for 23% of transactions in December, down from 24% in November, and up from 19% from December 2020. Distressed sales – foreclosures and short sales – represented less than 1% of sales in December, equal to the percentage seen in both November 2021 and December 2020. —The National Association of Realtors

Appliance replacements REAL ESTATE 101

You may have noticed that many industries — including home construction and home appliances — are experiencing significant supply shortages. Consumer Reports said that pandemic-fueled supply chain disruptions are still affecting large appliances and, at the same time, consumer demand remains high.

“The new normal is fewer choices,” says Ken Miele CEO of the Appliance Dealers Cooperative. “We dealers can only sell what we have.” Waits of four to eight weeks for products are common, and some higher end items can take months. Manufacturers have kept lean workforces for decades, Consumer Reports says, and that mindset is catching up with them now as the COVID-19 pandemic pinches parts suppliers. Furthermore, there aren’t enough transportation workers to carry parts and even finished goods around the world. All of these factors formed the perfect storm to cripple the large appliance market. But that doesn’t mean that you still can’t get a deal. Consumer Reports says that while you may not be able to haggle on price, you might negotiate fees for delivery, installation and disposal, as well as with accessories such as hoses and electrical cords. “Our guys want the business, so they’re going to make sure the customers are happy,” Miele says. Independent dealers like the ones Miele represents can often match boxstore prices and can offer you perks like in-house service or a loaner machine while you wait for your new appliance, Consumer Reports says. Get on independent dealers’ waiting lists if you can, the magazine advises. “We’re getting a good supply of product. We’re just filling orders more slowly than before,” Miele says. Cooperative

buying groups like Miele’s put independent buyers on similar footing to large-volume sellers. If you do find discounts, they may not be as large as you’ve seen in the past. Fridge discounts, for example, are average around 12% where, in the past, discounts were 28% in 2019 and 14% last year. Gap Intelligence found that, among large retailers, Best Buy offered the most instant savings on ranges, with consumers seeing the most savings when they bought a bundle of several appliances at once. “Discounts may appear similar,” says Seth Barham, managing director at Wedbush Securities and an industry analyst who covers appliance retailers,” but base pricing or other factors will likely make the products more expensive compared with last year. Consumer Reports suggests using online tools to research, including retailers’ online filters to narrow your appliance search. Prioritize your needs and be ready to be flexible with features. More niche items, such as specialty finishes, Consumer Reports market analyst Nish Suvarnakar says, are manufactured in smaller batches and may not be available. To get a model today, Consumer Reports suggests looking at floor models with some cosmetic flaws. You may also score a better price, too. Remember, though, that open box deals may be missing nonessential parts that you’ll need to replace it of your pocket. —HomeWise
