Multiple candidates spoke in their opening remarks about wanting to work together and bridge divisions in society. What followed was in large part an exhibition of disinformation, propaganda, cynicism and conspiracy.

Water District, called COVID19 a “bad strain of the flu.” Jones said the vaccines developed to protect against the virus were not genuine. “Anything that’s a true vaccine doesn’t need a booster over and over and over again.” And Republican Scott Giblin offered a solution: Send your kids out to “go roll in the mud for a while,” he said. “That’s what kids do. They get dirty. They get messy. That’s what gives them the immunity that they need.”

WOODLAND — The victim admitted he’s no angel. On the witness stand in Yolo Superior Court, he acknowledged having prior convictions for vehicle theft, firearm and drug offenses, and being in ongoing treatment to kick his heroin habit. But A.M., as he’s identified in court documents, denied allegations that he manufactured his story of being kidnapped and robbed at gunpoint last month inside a UC Davis apartment. Attorneys for Antonio Juan Delcastillo and Mason Allen John, who face multiple felony charges in connection with the April 6 incident, accused A.M. of creating the story to shield the fact he’d been spending time with a woman who was not his girlfriend. The victim “absolutely concocted this to cover his behind,” said defense lawyer Rob Gorman, whose client Delcastillo is charged with holding A.M. at gunpoint until the victim paid him $1,000 in cash. UCD officials previously reported its officers learned about the incident after it had concluded. A brief press release disclosed the arrests of John,

Congressional candidates square off By Caleb Hampton Enterprise staff writer If men are opposed to abortion, they should work on their “pullout game,” said Jimih Jones, a pro-choice Republican and Toyota dealership employee, in response to an audience question about abortion rights at a congressional primary debate held Wednesday evening at UC Davis. “Once the man decides to give his power to the woman by not protecting himself,” he said, “he leaves it up to the woman.” Jones, a longtime Woodland

resident, is one of six candidates vying to represent California’s new 4th district in the U.S. House of Representatives. Five of those candidates participated in Wednesday’s debate, which was hosted and moderated by Davis College Republicans. Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Napa, who currently represents California’s 5th district, was unable to attend the event due to congressional duties in Washington, D.C., a spokesperson for Thompson told The Enterprise. Topics covered in the debate included public health,

The project involves converting building heating systems so that they use hot water generated by electricity — a renewable resource — rather than steam heat generated by natural gas.

UC Davis is set to complete an important phase of its effort to convert the campus’ heating systems to a more environmentally sustainable design, chancellor Gary S. Mary announced Friday in a message to the campus community. The $56 million project, called “The Big Shift,” is a “large-scale infrastructure construction project that literally lays the groundwork for ultimately moving our university closer to becoming carbon neutral,” UC Davis’

“We’re about to mark a major milestone on the Big Shift, with completion of the first district,” May said in his message. “This monumental effort involved laying four miles of hot water pipes throughout the core of campus, replacing our steam-heat system.”

Briefly Get the dirt on composting Composting involves recycling organic matter, such as leaves and food scraps, into fertilizer that can enrich soil and plants. It has a long history. Archaeological digs in Scotland found that waste was used to make compost as far back as the Neolithic period, 12,000 years ago. Find out about the journey that your apple peels and eggshells take once you put your food waste into your city's organics waste removal cart and set the cart out on your curb. On the latest episode of “Timeout Radio,” Jennifer Gilbert gives the dirt on composting and tells the audience about her job as the conservation coordi-nator for the city of Davis. In this episode’s travel segment, listeners will take a wee trip to the country of Scotland, whose official animal is the unicorn (yes, really), and hear about moors, lochs, tartans, Highland games and the Loch Ness Monster. “Timeout Radio,” produced and hosted by Rohan Baxi, is a radio show and podcast based in Davis for youths.

Cattle call the pressing issue of our time

orget Measure H, the races for District Attorney and Yolo County Supervisor, and anything else on the June ballot, for the most pressing issue of our time has already been decided. “UCD students vote for a cow mascot,” said The Enterprise headline over Caleb Hampton’s story about this historic and earth-shattering outcome. “Nearly three-quarters of UC Davis students who cast a ballot in ASUCD’s spring election last week voted in favor of a ballot measure to change the campus’ official mascot from a mustang to a cow,” Hampton’s story begins. (I promise at this point to make this column about cows absolutely pun-free. No “this moovement is udderly ridiculous” or anything else of the sort. If I break that promise, I’ll buy you a milkshake.) “The proposal to make the school’s mascot a cow began in January as a light-hearted instagram post,” according to UCD student Mick Hashimoto. Yes, and Donald Trump’s proposal to run for president in 2016 began as a light-hearted tweet making fun of Jeb Bush.

we were UC Davis undergraduates several decades ago. In fact, I was so upset about it that I almost transferred to Sac State.

U “That went viral within a week,” Hashimoto said of his “cow” suggestion, with more than 11,000 people viewing the post and roughly 1,500 liking it. Now wait a minute, that’s barely 13 percent approval. How did this abomination ever get on the ballot? “The post quickly became a movement and the movement a campaign,” Hampton continued. “The idea, according to Hashimoto, tapped into an imbalance as old as the campus.” Said Hashimoto, “UC Davis students have always thought about how (the mascot) should have been the cow in the first place.” That was certainly all that my friends and I talked about while

CD students by themselves do not have the authority to determine something as important as the school mascot. And, given that only 11.5 percent of eligible students bothered to vote on this pressing matter, the outcome can hardly even be considered “advisory.” Apparently, the administration and the Cal Aggie Alumni Association have the final call, which means they also have the only call. Sonoma State faced a similar dilemma just over 20 years ago when it was rightly deemed that the “Cossack” mascot was not something to be revered. Once the mascot was dumped by the university president — it was his decision alone — some students suggested that Sonoma State should be called the “Beagles” in memory of “Peanuts” creator and area resident Charles Schulz. This caused Sonoma State athletic director Bill Fusco to raise his voice in dissent.

“That’s exactly what studentathletes fear the most,” he said. “If you go with ‘Beagles’ across your chest in front of 8,000 fans at UC Davis, you’ll get a lot of ridicule.” Especially since it was UC Davis that did low-level radiation studies on beagles before ending the program in 1993. Although the “cow” controversy will remain on the sidelines for now, Rep. John Garamendi just couldn’t help himself from entering the fray. Said Garamendi, “I have herd the calls of UC Davis students and I am happy to support this grassfed movement. As UC Davis secures its position as the global leader in agricultural research, it must moove on from the old.” (The puns are his, not mine, so no milkshake.) Garamendi, of course, played football at Cal. I wonder what he would have thought it they changed the mascot from a Golden Bear to a Golden Bovine while he was packing the pigskin in Strawberry Canyon.

Ballots mailed out; how to cast your vote in the primary By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer Ballots for the June 7 election were mailed out to Yolo County voters last week and, as has been the case for the last couple of elections, voters will have many options for returning them. The county is replacing its traditional polling places with 13 vote centers and placed 15 ballot drop boxes throughout the county, including four in Davis. All active registered voters were sent ballots and those boxes are available now for depositing completed ballots. In Davis, boxes are in the parking lot at City Hall, 23 Russell Blvd., and at the UC Davis campus, 282 Tennis Court Lane. Those outdoor ballot boxes are accessible 24 hours a day. Both Davis Nugget Markets also have ballot drop boxes indoors that are available during regular store hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., according to the elections office. The markets are located

at 409 Mace Blvd. in South Davis and 1414 E Covell Blvd. in East Davis. Additional drop boxes are located in Esparto, West Sacramento, Winters and Woodland. Visit https://www.yoloelections. org/voting/polling_place for locations and hours. Voters can also return their completed ballots via the postal service. Additionally, on Saturday, May 28, vote centers will open for 11 days at the Veterans Memorial Center multipurpose room, 203 E 14th St., in Davis; West Sacramento City Hall, 1110 W Capitol Ave.; and the Yolo County Administration Building, Room 106, at 625 Court St. Hours at those locations will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. between May 28 and June 6 and from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day. Ten more vote centers will open on Saturday, June 4, and remain open for four days. In Davis, those centers will be located at the UC Davis ARC, 760 Orchard Road; Marguerite

Montgomery Elementary School, 1441 Danbury St.; and Emerson Junior High School, 2121 Calaveras Ave. Additional vote centers will open on June 4 in Esparto, West Sacramento, Winters and Woodland. At these centers, voters can cast a live ballot; drop off a vote-by-mail ballot; receive bilingual assistance; mark a ballot privately and independently by using an ADA-accessible ballotmarking device; pick up a replacement vote-by-mail ballot; register to vote and cast a conditional ballot; and update voter registration. Beginning May 28, the Yolo Elections Office will provide a feature on its website providing wait times at the vote centers. The June 7 ballot is a lengthy one, featuring multiple statewide primary races, including governor (26 candidates); lieutenant governor (eight candidates): secretary of state (seven candidates); controller (six candidates); treasurer (four candidates); attorney general (five

UCD Health performs robot-assisted procedure By Caleb Hampton Enterprise staff writer For the first time in the UC Health System, physicians at UC Davis Health performed a singleanesthesia diagnosis to treatment of lung cancer using a robotic-assisted approach, UC Davis Health announced Tuesday in a press release. The procedure, which is known as a robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, allows physicians to both diagnose and remove a lung cancer mass during a single surgery. “It reduces anxiety and unnecessary waiting time for patients,” UC Davis Health said in its press release. The UC Davis Medical Center robotic-assisted technology in six specialties, including interventional pulmonology. The other specialties include gastrointestinal, cardiothoracic, gynecologic oncology, otolaryngology and urologic surgery. “Innovations such as the robotic bronchoscopy platform are patient care at the absolute highest level, from diagnosis to treatment with a multidisciplinary team approach,” said Bahareh Nejad, medical director of Robotic Surgery. “As we continue to grow the UC Davis Robotics Program, the institutional support we have received has been instrumental. We are excited to facilitate more growth with robotic

surgery to make patient treatment better and more efficient.” The technology helps UC Davis Health to streamline patient care, the health system said. Typically, when a patient is diagnosed with a nodule or mass in their lung, they would be referred to a pulmonologist who might perform a lung biopsy to detect whether it is cancerous. If it is cancerous, the patient might then be referred to a thoracic surgeon who would determine whether the mass could be surgically removed. If it can be removed, the patient would undergo another procedure requiring additional anesthesia. It is normal for patients to wait up to three months from the time the mass is first discovered to when they get a diagnose and treatment. “Waiting months between a biopsy and a diagnosis can be an emotionally difficult and exhausting experience for patients,” said Chinh Phan, director of the UCD Interventional Pulmonology

Program. “By utilizing the robotic-assisted bronchoscopy platform we can help reduce the anxiety and unnecessary waiting times that patients traditionally experience.” The robotic-assisted bronchoscopy procedure uses a high-tech system that creates a 3D map of the patient’s lungs using a CT scan. “The software then generates the safest and most efficient route through the lung to the nodule or mass,” UC Davis Health said in its press release. “Once the route is determined, an ultrathin and ultra-maneuverable catheter is guided to the site of the lung nodule or mass, where it is marked and biopsied with precision and stability.” If the nodule is found to be an early-stage cancer, the surgical team uses the same route and marks the area with dye to identify it for removal. The patient, who remains asleep during all of this, then has a second robotic procedure done to remove the lung cancer.

candidates); superintendent of schools (seven candidates) and insurance commissioner (nine candidates). Four candidates are running for State Board of Equalization district one. Meanwhile, 23 candidates are vying for the U.S. Senate seat held by Sen. Alex Padilla and six for the U.S. House of Representatives seat held by Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Napa, who because of redistricting, will represent the city of Davis and much of Yolo County instead of Rep. John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove. Incumbent Assemblywoman Cecilia AguiarCurry, D-Winters, has one challenger in the fourth Assembly district. In more local races, several incumbents are unopposed on the ballot, including Yolo County Superintendent of Schools Garth Lewis and Yolo County Assessor/ClerkRecorder/Registrar of Voters Jesse Salinas. Yolo County voters will

choose between challenger Cynthia Rodriguez and incumbent Jeff Reisig for district attorney and between challenger Thomas Hayes and incumbent Tom Lopez for sheriff and those voters living in the second Board of Supervisors district will choose between Davis Vice Mayor Lucas Frerichs and community activist Juliette Beck. Finally, there is Measure H — the Davis Innovation and Sustainability Campus. Voters turned down the original DISC proposal two years ago and will now decide on a pared-down version of the project intended for East Davis. After weighing in on all of that, voters can receive notification of when their ballots are received by the county elections office and counted.

Pets of the week

Traveling with your four-legged buddy

Special to The Enterprise

Enterprise staff writer

Paws for Thought

etting ready for summer travel? Whether you leave your pets home or take them with you, be sure they wear collars with ID tags and are microchipped! Pets wearing collars with legible ID tags are usually back home quickly. Why? Most pets that get out of their home don’t go very far, so it’s likely a neighbor will find your pet, read the tag, and contact you. All collars need to fit properly — not too loose and not too tight. Breakaway collars ensure a cat’s safety because they have a clasp that opens easily when pulled sharply, e.g., the collar is caught on a tree branch. What about microchips? If collars and ID tags fall off, microchips are there to ensure your dog or cat gets home. Microchips are dormant, electronic devices the size of a grain of rice. They are implanted in the back of a pet’s neck and remain there for the life of the pet. Microchips do not require batteries and are not GSP devices. They do require a scanner to read the microchip’s number. This number connects to an online registry where contact information you have provided is located. If a microchip is not registered correctly, it’s useless. For this reason, a pet’s microchip must be registered online with all relevant information including how to contact you, pet photos, and medical needs. Once registered, it’s important to update any information such as new phone

numbers and addresses. Microchip registries vary in the services they provide and whether they charge for the services. When hurricane Katrina separated so many pets from their families in 2005, Dr. Gary K. Michelson wanted to help reunite families and their pets. He started by donating microchips to animal shelters. Soon he realized that getting pets microchipped was only half of the solution. The other half was getting the pets’ microchips registered. As a result, Dr. Michelson started the free registry, Found Animals at https://www.found.org/petowner-benefits/, where registering, using, and updating information are all free. Regardless of the brand or frequency of a microchip, you can register it at Found Animals. Pets registered elsewhere can also be registered with Found Animals. Need a pet microchipped? Prices and convenience vary. Most vets will microchip your pet. Yolo County Animal Services in Woodland offers microchipping and registration for $15 at monthly vaccination clinics. Dates and time vary, so call 530-6685287 to make an appointment. Pet Food Express in Davis microchips pets for $30 every Sunday from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Resources: n Learn what a microchip is, what it isn’t, and how works at Found Animals @ https://www. found.org/pet-owner-benefits/ n How To Choose The Right Breakaway Collar To Ensure

Lots of animals are waiting for “forever homes” at the Yolo County Animal Shelter, 2640 E. Gibson Road in Woodland. Among them is Pepper (A195364), a beautiful dilute calico cat who came to the shelter with her 20 sibPEPPER lings. Pepper is about 10 years old and looking for a loving home that can help her adjust to all the changes she has recently been through. Pepper is slow to warm up but loves chin rubs and has a lovely personality. Also hoping for a good home is Leo (A192022), a housetrained and charming 3-yearold pit bull. LEO Leo can be shy when in new situations, but comes around with slow introductions. Leo is all wiggles and wags once you are friends. Leo would prefer a home with no cats. For information on adopting, contact adoptycas@gmail.com. All shelter animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed or neutered. Staff is available to assist via phone during business hours at 530668-5287. Shelter hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. To meet any adoptable YCAS animals, visit friendsofycas.org. To volunteer, sign up at tinyurl.com/ yolovolunteerapp. Follow on at @ycas. shelter and Instagram at @yoloanimalshelter. At Rotts of Friends Animal Rescue, you’ll find five 7weekold RottPUPPIES weiler pup-pies (maybe hound mix); three females and two males. They also have three slightly older husky puppies.

KIDNAP: Defense insists alleged victim invented a story From Page A1 23; and Delcastillo, 26; who along with A.M. have no affiliation with UCD, but little else about what allegedly occurred. More details came to light during John and Delcastilllo’s April 26 preliminary hearing, where A.M. was the first witness to take the stand. “Do you want to be here today?” Deputy District Attorney Michael Vroman asked. “No, not really,” A.M. replied before launching his recollection of the day’s events. He said he’d spent the past several days “hanging out” with a female friend, and the pair ended up spending the night at a West Village apartment that authorities say was occupied by several squatters.

On the morning of April 6, one of the squatters rousted A.M. and said “I should wake up and be prepared,” he testified. People were upset with him “and were going to be there any minute.” Those people, A.M. said, were his acquaintances John and Delcastillo — also known as “A.J.” — who ordered him to empty his pockets before John “hit me in the mouth.” John was angry because A.M. hadn’t been answering his phone, he added, but Delcastillo, who allegedly was armed with a handgun, had another issue entirely. According to A.M., Delcastillo harbored bad blood over an incident from six years earlier, when his friend’s girlfriend fell ill from Xanax that A.M. supplied to her. A.M. said Delcastillo

demanded cash in order to make things right, and “I wasn’t going anywhere til we figured out the money situation.” He recalled calling his girlfriend, asking her to withdraw $1,000 from the bank and bring it to the campus apartment. After paying the debt, the pair left to pick up their daughter, who was in her grandparents’ custody, for a scheduled visitation. “I didn’t want to mess that up,” said A.M., whose girlfriend also testified and backed up his story. John and Delcastillo’s defense attorneys pounced on that as well, theorizing that A.M. also created the robbery story in case he missed his daughter’s visitation, thus jeopardizing the couple’s efforts to regain custody of the girl. “Aren’t you making this up to cover up for the fact

you ditched your baby mama for four days and had no excuse about where you were?” Gorman asked during cross-examination. Gorman also suggested that Delcastillo had gone to the UCD apartment “because one of his lady friends squats there,” and A.M. happened to be there too. He conceded his client may have demanded money to settle an old debt, “but this certainly isn’t a robbery, and it certainly isn’t a kidnapping.” John’s attorney, Jose Gonzalez-Vasquez, said it was the squatters who invited his client over that day “because he has friends at this apartment, and instead he gets wrapped up in these very serious allegations.” Judge Peter Williams, who presided over the hearing, acknowledged it was a “strange case.”

He dismissed weaponrelated allegations against John but upheld the remaining charges, including robbery, false imprisonment and kidnapping for ransom, saying he found both A.M. and his girlfriend to be credible witnesses despite some inconsistencies in their stories. “If you’re going to make up a story, you’re going to make it smooth, you’re going to make it seamless, you’re going to make it polished,” Williams said. “That wasn’t the story that I heard.” Both defendants continued to plead not guilty to the charges during an arraignment hearing last week, where Williams set the case for trial on July 11. — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenterprise. net.

AWARDS: Winners helped make a better community From Page A1 courtyard on campus on May 4, 1983. Jay Pierman, a 16-year-old Davis High student at the time, was later convicted of voluntary manslaughter. During the reckoning and soul searching that followed Huynh’s death, the school district installed a memorial plaque in the courtyard where he died, and the city established annual awards in Huynh’s memory recognizing city residents for their contributions to diversity, community, social justice and equal rights. The first awards were presented in 1986 and have been presented annually since. This year’s recipients: Lifetime Achievement — Anne Kjemtrup Kjemtrup was nominated for the lifetime achievement award for her efforts on social justice, community building and interfaith work. She is one of the organizers of the annual Celebration of Abraham event in Davis which brings together members of different faiths — Jewish, Christian and Muslim — to increase understanding and respect between the groups.

Young Humanitarian — Max Mauratonio Mauratonio was nominated for the Young Humanitarian award for his many efforts to improve the Davis community. A Davis High School junior — and the same age as Huynh was when he was murdered — Mauratonio has been involved in scouting for 11 years and has volunteered at the Yolo Food Bank through the Scouting for Food program. Civil Rights Advocacy — Natalia Baltazar Baltazar will receive the award for civil rights advocacy for her work on behalf of sexual assault and domestic violence survivors through her position with Empower Yolo, the county’s largest provider of services to women and children. As director of development and community relations for Empower Yolo, Baltazar has secured millions of dollars for the agency and impacted the lives of thousands of Yolo County residents. Excellence in Community Involvement — COVID-19 Yolo Community Response Facebook Group; Davis Food Co-op; Steve Streeter n Created in the early

Housing: More sugar, less vinegar By Jason Ward Special to CalMatters

alifornia lacks an estimated 1.2 million units of housing affordable for those with lower incomes. One important approach to meeting this need is to induce developers to include affordable units in market-rate multifamily housing developments. Policies concerned with this outcome are commonly called “inclusionary zoning.” Such policies take two forms: mandates requiring the inclusion of such units (deedrestricted units that must be offered to eligible households at below-market rents, often for 55 years or more) in any new development, or voluntary incentives rewarding the inclusion of such units with increased density allowances (more apartments in a given development), reduced or eliminated parking requirements, and other offsets for the reduced revenue a project can generate when including affordable units. Recent evidence from Los Angeles suggests that voluntary incentives foster increased production of affordable housing, while mandates alone increase the cost of producing housing, dampening both marketrate and affordable housing production. In 2016, Los Angeles created a natural experiment comparing these approaches when voters passed Measure JJJ, a ballot initiative that created two approval pathways for new housing developments: Mandatory component: For projects using a zoning change or a general plan amendment, JJJ required specified shares of affordable units or an in-lieu payment of $50,000 to $100,000 per apartment. Voluntary incentives component: JJJ’s voluntary component (called “transit oriented communities”) targeted projects located near transit hubs, offering a menu of incentives that increased with the share of affordable units built. The most significant of these was a large increase in allowable density (up to 80%). An additional goal of JJJ was to have developers hire locally and pay union-level wages. Again, the mandatory path required this, while the transit-oriented program rewarded developers for voluntarily adopting these measures. When JJJ was put before voters in November 2016, the mandatory component was spelled out, but the voluntary component was not finalized; these incentives would be settled on after the measure passed. In the six months before the election, developers rushed to apply for construction permits at three times the average rate of the past two years to avoid the mandatory requirements, according to a 2019 report. When the transit-oriented program launched in 2017, it rapidly became the single largest approval pathway for new housing. Last year, 33% of all proposed housing units citywide used the program, despite the fact that only around 9% of the city’s land is eligible for the maximum incentives. Another 23% followed a similar but less generous citywide voluntary incentive pathway (a density bonus program). Only 1% used the citywide pathways covered by the mandatory inclusionary zoning component. And how many affordable units were produced? At the end of 2019 (the most recent data available from the city): ■ 294 affordable apartments were permitted under the transit-oriented program ■ 219 using the density bonus program, ■ 11 units through inclusionary zoning. Granted, these numbers are a drop in the bucket relative to Los Angeles’ staggering housing needs. Even turbocharged incentive programs may be insufficient to meet California’s need for affordable housing, but such an approach likely represents our best chance to move the needle. It is well past time to acknowledge the evidence and focus on the adoption of voluntary programs that incentivize the rapid creation of dense, infill housing available at both affordable and market rents. Both types of housing are sorely needed to ensure a livable and prosperous future for California. — Jason Ward is an associate economist at the RAND Corporation and associate director of the RAND Center on Housing and Homelessness in Los Angeles.

No doubt, oil refiners gouging us

here was some room for doubt back in February, when gasoline prices rose precipitously: Until the oil companies who refine most California gas unveiled their first-quarter profits, it would be impossible to be sure the spike stemmed from price gouging. That was because the pump price increase from about $4.30 per gallon to nearly $6 (and more in some places) came just as the United States announced a boycott on Russian oil as a punishment for the invasion of Ukraine. Price gouging seemed the logical explanation for the hike. Russian oil amounted to less than 3 percent of California’s supply; why should its sudden disappearance cause a price hike of 12 times that much? Doubt about this should now disappear from the minds of consumers. They were taken advantage of by oil companies in a systematic, cartel-like manner as every gasoline refiner raised prices at the same moment. That is now clear from the very eagerly awaited quarterly financial reports. They show profits of the five major firms making 96 percent of this state’s gasoline all rose dramatically in the first quarter. Because the price gouging did

not begin until mid-February, it had no effect for fully half the first-quarter time period. The five companies include Chevron, Marathon, Valero, PBF Energy and Phillips 66. Their results, says Jamie Court, head of the Consumer Watchdog advocacy group, “show that the Golden State Gouge is real. Oil refiners exploited the crisis in Ukraine to make a mint from California drivers.” Yes, they also profiteered in the rest of America, but not like they did here. One difficulty in measuring this stems from the fact that most big California refiners do not break out their California profits from what they make worldwide. An exception is PBF Energy, owner of refineries in New Jersey, Delaware, Louisiana, plus those in Martinez and Torrance that formerly belonged to Shell and Exxon Mobil. PBF’s profits from its Torrance facility grew from $15.75 per barrel in 2021 to $32.84 this year, returning more than

twice the previous take. That meant PBF, which markets to name brands, smaller chains and unbranded gas stations, made about 78 cents per gallon in profit this year compared with 42 cents last year.

he other big refiners reported similar huge increases in profitability, the obvious result of their price gouging. When he announced the ban on Russian oil, President Biden warned them not to gouge, but they did it anyway, with no penalty. Partly, that’s because most refiners effectively hide their per-gallon profit margin. This could end in California if the Legislature this summer passes a bill known as SB 1322, sponsored by Democratic state Sen. Ben Allen of Santa Monica. Allen’s measure would force the Big Five refiners in this state to report how much gas they make and sell here and the margins they net from each gallon sold to drivers.

Many Californians habitually blame the fact that pump prices here are nearly the highest in the nation on California’s higher-than-usual fuel taxes. But those levies only account for about 60 cents per gallon, and the difference between the average price in California and elsewhere is about $1.30. For sure, drivers here deserve to know why they pay an unexplained 70 cents more per gallon than folks just across state lines. Says Court, “California has been an ATM for oil refiners for too long.” He suggests that if oil companies had to report their per-gallon profits on a regular basis, they would feel some pressure to hold the line on prices better than they have. So a lot of money hangs on the fate of Allen’s bill, which passed its first Senate committee test unanimously. That’s money which could help a lot of families now forced to choose between buying gas or food or shoes. — Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

cut off from river water halfway through last year. This will continue to repeat year after year, with growing restrictions on our water use as climate change continues to accelerate and the water sources are diminished. I agree with Marc Thompson’s recent observation on NextDoor, regarding the economic sea change toward remote working that was successfully demonstrated during the pandemic and is being adopted as standard practice in the area of industry that the DISC project is targeting. This trend will result in the death of the corporate real estate monolithic model and their purported “need” for “worker housing.” Much like online shopping (ie Amazon) has contributed to the extinction of the retail shopping mall model ... the malls have been replaced by mega-warehouses. To continue to build concentrated industrial “parks” and housing developments is totally unsustainable, and the resulting environmental damage is exacerbated with accelerating climate change. The DISC model and any single-family residential development are problematic unsustainable dinosaurs ... and like the dinosaur, are also headed for extinction. Eric Nelson Davis

Brock went a step further, saying he was against any type of protocol intended to prevent the spread of the virus. “I don’t think there should be any restrictions whatsoever,” he said. He was especially wary about lockdowns. “I don’t think lockdowns are going away,” he said. “I think that it is part of a grand plan. I think that they’ve seen it is an effective way to control us as individuals and I think that they’re going to continue doing that and push it as far as they can.” (During the pandemic, stay-at-home orders were imposed and many businesses shuttered, but Californians were never put on a true lockdown as was implemented in some countries, such as China and Spain.

Studies have found that children’s exposure to dirt or mud can strengthen their immune system, but it won’t immunize them against COVID-19.) At least three of the candidates have young children who they said suffered from the closure of schools during the pandemic. “I have a special needs daughter,” Jones said. “She fell behind maybe two grades.” Brock, who has a 13-year-old and a 5-year-old, said “distance learning did nothing for them. That was literally a wasted year-and-a-half.” Independent Jason Kishineff, who has two children in high school, said distance learning was bad for them as well.

(That is all, for the most part, true.) The tech company executive added that he was committed to dispelling misinformation about the virus and vaccines. The myths and falsehoods aired at the debate were not limited to the pandemic. Numerous

studies have found that immigration benefits the U.S. economy, that immigrants create more jobs than they take, and that immigrants, including undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at much lower rates than native-born Americans. Nevertheless, when asked about their national security priorities, Jones and Brock both said they would focus on limiting immigration, with the former calling for a decadelong ban. “Do not allow anybody into this country for 10 years until the current people are allowed to assimilate,” said Jones, who baselessly associated immigration with crime.

“Border security. protects us.”

In Brock’s view, the treatment of undocumented immigrants, who on average have lived in the U.S. for 15 years but aren’t allowed to work, vote or access most public benefits, is generally too accommodating. “We’re taking care of some people who don’t even belong here much better than we are our veterans,” he said. In response to a different question, Brock said, “If you’re entering our border illegally, you don’t have rights at that point.” (The U.S. Constitution confers rights, such as due

In a similar vein, when asked about wildfire prevention, Brock said California should expand its use of inmate firefighting crews, who get paid a few dollars per day to risk their lives fighting wildfires. “If you have committed a crime and you’re in prison, we should get some use out of you,” he said. Giblin also weighed in on matters of foreign policy and national security, describing the horrors, as well as the possible utility, of modern warfare. “Most wars nowadays are just gonna slaughter off a bunch of people,” he said. “I’m very much anti-war but if you screw with American you’re gonna bring the wrath down on you.” — Reach Caleb Hampton at champton@ davisenterprise.net.

Here for years, but still can’t qualify for in-state tuition By Zaeem Shaikh CalMatters Being a California resident can save you a lot of money at the University of California — about $30,000 in tuition per year. At California State University, a non-resident student pays nearly $10,000 more than a California resident with the same 12-unit class load; at a community college, it can be up to about $7,500. For more than 20 years, California has exempted many undocumented students from having to pay non-resident tuition at the state’s public colleges and universities. But gaps in the law mean that some undocumented students and visa holders still don’t qualify for in-state prices — even if they’ve lived in the state for more than a decade. Now, state lawmakers are debating two bills that would make it easier for even more students to become eligible for in-state tuition. UC and Cal State could lose millions in revenue if one or both of the bills pass. But supporters say the bills would reduce equity gaps and increase access to an affordable higher education — especially critical, they say, when the state is enjoying a record budget surplus and students are recovering from a global pandemic. Take the case of Sakshi Savale, a senior at San Jose State University. She didn’t have many options to choose from when she applied to college. Savale came to California in 2009, two years after her family immigrated to the U.S. from India. California law allows undocumented immigrants and some others without legal California residency to be exempted from paying out-ofstate tuition if they attended three years of a California high school, community college or adult school and received a diploma. Students eligible for the exemption can also qualify for the Cal Grant, the state’s main form of financial aid. But Savale wasn’t undocumented. She was a

dependent visa holder, which meant her stay in the U.S. was dependent on her father, a business consultant, who has a work-related visa. While many colleges considered her an international student, San Jose State allowed her to pay in-state tuition, saving her family tens of thousands of dollars. That changed this school year, however, after Savale turned 21 and had to switch to a student visa. Now the university says she has a backlog of about $1,500 in fees from the fall that she must pay before she can receive her diploma. “Now I’m about to graduate and this might hold me back from getting my diploma, and it’s been extremely stressful,” said Savale, who hopes to stay at San Jose State for graduate school. Senate Bill 1160, authored by Los Angeles Democrat María Elena Durazo, would help students like Savale by allowing students whose parents have certain long-term U.S. visas to qualify for in-state tuition if they meet the law’s other requirements. At an April hearing of the Senate Education Committee hearing, members said a pathway should be provided for students who have been in the state for a long time, but some posed concerns about wealthy foreigners taking advantage of the bill. Savale and other visa holders organizing with a group called Improve the Dream nevertheless say they should be included. “Some visa holders – they’ve generally had better benefits and access to resources, both in terms of income, education, status,” said Adrián Trinidad, a higher education researcher and the assistant director of community college partnerships at the University of Southern California’s Race and Equity Center. Still, he said, it makes sense to grant in-state tuition to students who have been a part of California for years and will continue to contribute to the state’s economy. Another bill, Senate Bill 1141, would reduce from three to two

Ugwuezumba’s application for in-state tuition was denied, and her mother works two jobs to help pay her fees. the number of years undocumented students or others without legal California residency have to attend high school or postgraduate classes in the state in order to qualify for in-state tuition. The Senate Appropriations Committee will decide the fate of both bills Thursday, along with hundreds of others on the committee’s suspense file. Cal State and University of California officials have not expressed a position on the bills. Nonresident tuition makes up about 13% of UC’s budget, according to the California Legislative Analyst’s Office. SB 1141 would likely increase costs for the state, because it would allow the newly eligible students to apply for the Cal Grant. Sen. Brian Dahle, a Lassen County Republican, posed a concern at a March Education Committee hearing that there’s a finite number of Cal Grants available. “There’s not enough money to go around,” he said. The state has enough extra money in its budget this year, though, to offset much of the

immediate cost, Trinidad said. “The surplus has been so strong, I think it’s more of a matter of whether folks think (college affordability for these students) is an issue,” he said. Lowering the attendance requirement to two years could inspire more prospective students to attend the state’s community colleges, which are facing declining enrollment, said David O’Brien, vice chancellor for government relations for the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office. “We believe it closes a really critical gap in access, particularly for undocumented students in higher education in California who were locked out,” O’Brien said. The bill would also remove a provision requiring eligible community college students to enroll in non-credit courses to meet the attendance requirement, which students said causes them to waste time in classes that don’t help progress toward a degree. Limón said the bill could immediately help up to 900 students, and supporters of the bill believe the long-term impact

would be much greater. Undocumented students don’t qualify for federal student aid, making access to state aid and lower tuition critical. “There’s thousands of students that would be eligible,” said Nancy Jodaitis, director of higher education at Immigrants Rising. Esther Ugwuezumba, an undocumented El Camino College student whose family is from Nigeria, applied for in-state tuition last winter but wasn’t approved, she said. As a high school graduate who attended school in California for two years, she would qualify under the bill. Her mother foots the bill for her tuition by working two jobs, as a caregiver and a certified nursing assistant at a hospital. Ugwuezumba, who’s majoring in nursing, also works as a caregiver to help with the cost. The family will soon also have to pay more fees when Ugwuezumba’s brother starts attending a Cal State University this summer. If Ugwuezumba’s application for in-state tuition gets approved, she said, “it’s going to reduce a lot of pressure on my mom.”

Second Nature: A mother-and-daughter art exhibition Special to The Enterprise The Artery presents a very special mother-and-daughter art exhibit in June. Painter and sculptor Cathie James-Robinson and painter Amanda Cadelago use nature as their common theme, each showing their unique style. Cathie presents nature in many forms

from 2D to 3D, from zooming in closely to painting full panoramic landscapes. For this exhibit she created companion clay sculptures to go with her vibrant, detailed paintings that focus on local habitats and wildlife. Having shared a lifetime love of creating art with her daughter, she states, “I am very proud and beyond excited to

share this art show with Amanda!” Amanda explores the splendor of California’s central coast. Her acrylic paintings capture flora and undulating rock formations set amidst the ever changing sea. Each moment invites the viewer to go on a journey through some of her most recent experiences.

The Artery, 207 G St. in downtown Davis, is open seven days a week. Monday through Saturday: 10-6, Sunday: 12-5. The Artery will be open until 9 p.m. June 10 to meet the artists of “Second Nature: A Mother and Daughter Art Exhibition.” This coincides with the Davis Second Friday ArtAbout.

‘Operation Mincemeat’: Very well done Strong performances highlight this fascinating WWII saga By Derrick Bang Enterprise film critic World War II has long gifted cinema with a wealth of heroic, unusual and downright astonishing stories … but none is more bizarre or audacious than this one. In early 1943, the Allies desperately sought a means to break the Nazi stranglehold on mainland Europe, but the only feasible route appeared to be invading Sicily and then pushing northward. Unfortunately, this lone option was too obvious; Hitler also recognized it as the likely approach, and was fully prepared to thwart such an effort with the full might of the German army. The loss of Allied lives would have been incalculable. A few years earlier, Lt. Cmdr. Ian Fleming — then assigned to Rear Adm. James Godfrey, head of British naval intelligence — had drafted what came to be known as the “Trout Memo.” (Yes, that Ian Fleming. Seriously.) The memo — “Trout,” as in hoping to fool the Nazis hook, line and sinker — contained 54 suggested schemes designed to deceive the Axis Powers. Item 28 was a macabre ploy that Fleming lifted from 1937’s “The Milliner’s Hat Mystery,” one of several Inspector Richardson mysteries by British author Basil Thomson. So, consider: A nowobscure novelist gives British naval intelligence the idea for a daring act of realworld espionage duplicity,

‘Operation Mincemeat’ Rating: PG-13, for brief war violence, disturbing images and fleeting profanity Starring: x Colin Firth, Matthew Macfadyen, Kelly Macdonald, Jason Isaacs, Penelope Wilton, Johnny Flynn, Mark Gatiss, Hattie Morahan, Simon Russell Beale, Mark Bonnar Available via: Netflix as proposed by an officer — Fleming — who would go on to create the world’s bestknown fictitious secret agent. No surprise, then, that this legendary bit of WWII lore would appeal to director John Madden, who similarly played with the historical line between real and make-believe, in 1998’s “Shakespeare in Love.” Michelle Ashford’s engaging script is adapted from Ben Macintyre’s meticulously researched 2010 nonfiction bestseller of the same title. The resulting film is fascinating. Ashford has done an impressive job of condensing the many key details, without losing track of the saga’s complexity. The key players here are barrister-turned-naval intelligence officer Ewen Montagu (Colin Firth); Royal Air Force flight lieutenant-turned-MI5 counter-intelligence agent Charles Cholmondeley (Matthew Macfadyen); Godfrey (Jason Isaacs), who oversaw what eventually developed into “Operation Mincemeat”; MI5 clerk Jean Leslie (Kelly Macdonald), who played a key role in the scheme; and MI5 head secretary Hester

Having been fully briefed about the necessary parameters, North London coroner Bentley Purchase (Paul Ritter, center) pulls out a cadaver that might suit the requirements of Ewen Montagu (Colin Firth, far right) and Charles Cholmondeley (Matthew Macfadyen). Leggett (Penelope Wilton), whose talent for credible love letters also proved crucial. The plan: Montagu and Cholmondeley are tasked with finding a male corpse, and dressing it up as an officer of the Royal Marines; loading the body with personal items — cheekily dubbed “pocket litter” — that identified him as the fictitious Capt. William Martin; and attaching a dispatch case filled with naval intelligence correspondence discussing the upcoming (equally fictitious) Allied plans to invade Greece and Sardinia. The body then will be carefully dumped off the southern coast of Spain, where it will wash ashore and (hopefully) come to the attention of the (sortakinda) neutral Spanish government, which routinely shares intel with German military intelligence. Then hope — and pray — that the Nazis will believe

that the Allies don’t intend to invade via Sicily. Madden and Ashford slide deftly between two simultaneous plotlines: the complex challenge of crafting a believable identity and back-story for the ersatz Capt. Martin, and the emotional impact this has on those tasked with said assignment. This duality — the “real” war versus the “shadow” war — is at the heart of this film’s framing device, which finds Fleming (Johnny Flynn) typing up, and occasionally commenting upon, these events. Leslie, selected to become “Martin’s girlfriend Pam,” supplies a key photo of herself, to be included among the crucial pocket litter. Crafting this fabricated relationship initially becomes a game for Montagu and Leslie, but the increasingly intimate details spill over into their real lives, with genuine feelings developing between the two … much to the chagrin of Cholmonde-

Musicians present year-end concerts Special to The Enterprise The Davis High School and Holmes Jr. High orchestra programs will perform their final concerts of the year next week, both at Davis High School’s Brunelle Hall, 315 W. 14th St. The Davis High Orchestra Program Finale Concert will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 26, emceed by Angelo Moreno and senior student leader Kai Keltner and conducted by Moreno. The concert will feature the DHS Baroque Ensemble will play music by Antonio Vivaldi, Henry Purcell, George Frideric Handel, Domenico Scarlatti and Johann Heninrich Schmelzer — featuring senior violin soloists Helena Young, Frances Thayer and Julie Thomas, senior cello soloist Ha-Khanh Pham, senior soprano soloist Kate Unger, and harpsichord soloist Jerry Zhang; The DHS Chamber Orchestra will perform selections by Handel and Nicolay Rimsky-Korsakoff. And the DHS Symphony Orchestra will close with music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Ludwig van Beethoven, featuring senior soloist Kanako Hayashi. The Holmes Orchestra Program will present its Finale Concert at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 24. Conducted and emceed by Moreno, the concert will feature the Holmes Jazz Combo performing “Blue Seven” by Sunny Rollins; The Holmes Seventh Grade Quintet performing “Badinerie” by Johann Sebastian Bach; the Holmes Intermediate Orchestra performing selections by Felix

Mendelssohn, Johann Pachelbel, Antonio Vivaldi and Beethoven; the Holmes Advanced String Quartet performing String Quartet No. 12 in F Major, Op. 96 “American” by Antonín Dvorák; and the Holmes Advanced Orchestra performing music by Franz Schubert, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Reinhold Glier and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. ■ It’s been quite a year for the program. In the fall the students enjoyed their first public concert at the Mondavi Center since it was closed two years ago, when they attended the UCD Symphony performance on Nov. 20. ■ On Dec. 18, the Holmes Intermediate students enjoyed a day in San Francisco and visited Davies Symphony Hall to watch the San Francisco Symphony perform the original score to the holiday classic movie “Home Alone.” ■ On Jan. 19 the DHS Symphony held its annual Concerto Competition and more than 15 soloists performed, with Pianist Adrian Pu being chosen as the winner. ■ On Feb. 10-12 the DHS Symphony Orchestra performed their annual Kids Outreach performances for over 2,000 Davis elementary students, teachers and families. ■ On Feb. 18, the Holmes Advanced Orchestra did outreach concerts at North Davis and Birch Lane Elementary Schools and held a very well attended Elementary Strings Workshop where they mentored 60 elementary kids for the day on March 5. ■ The DHS Baroque Ensemble supported Colon Cancer Awareness month on Feb. 19, performed at

ley, quietly carrying his own torch for the young woman. British reserve being what it is, there’s no shortage of unexpressed, silently agonized glances from both Firth and Macfadyen. Macdonald, an equally nuanced actress, leaves no doubt that Leslie senses such feelings, with her response similarly unresolved. It could be argued, however, that the increasing degree of emotional and professional angst overcooks the melodrama. Montagu’s wife (Hattie Morahan) and two children have decamped to the safety of the United States, a parting further complicated by a growing distance between husband and wife. Cholmondeley, disheartened by the poor eyesight that prevented his becoming an airman, further chafes over being the “lesser son” all but overlooked by his mother (Ellie Haddington), who constantly grieves over his brother, killed in action.

The Holmes Jr. High Orchestra Program will play its season-ending concert on May 24. the Davis Colon Cancer Symposium and were invited to perform on the national colon cancer fundraising performance. ■ The Holmes Advanced Orchestra played the National Anthem in front of 20,000 at the Kingsversus-Knicks game on March 7 in Sacramento. ■ During spring break in March the DHS Orchestra Program took an educational music tour to Disneyland with the DHS Band Program and over 200 students traveled to the happiest place on earth to celebrate life together. ■ On April 9, the DHS Orchestra Program including the DHS Chamber Orchestra, DHS Baroque Ensemble, and the DHS Symphony Orchestra were featured on the Wennberg Orchestra Festival, which is a show case performance from the elementary to high school levels of the DJUSD Orchestra Program. On this concert our 2022 DHS Concerto Winner was featured with the DHS Symphony Orchestra. ■ On April 24 the DHS Baroque Ensemble did a combined performance with the UC Davis Baroque Ensemble and Director Michael Sand in Pitzer

Hall at UCD. ■ On May 7, the Advanced Orchestra participated in the Music in the Parks Orchestra Festival Competition at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and won the two top awards for the orchestra category; Best Junior High Orchestra and Best Overall Orchestra, including middle school, junior high and high school categories. ■ And on May 11, the Holmes Intermediate and Advanced Orchestras held their annual Holmes Elementary Side by Side Concert where they formed a combined orchestra of over 300 kids, where they mentored elementary students in rehearsals that morning and in concert that night. This concert gave the elementary students and parents a look into the exciting musical experiences their students will have if they continue to the next level of their musicianship. ■ The DHS Baroque Ensemble just announced it 2023 European tour to England, Belgium, Germany and France. This will be a 14-day tour to perform in the world’s most beautiful churches and cathedrals.

Jean further complicates matters by becoming involved — maybe, maybe not — with an American serviceman (Lorne Macfadyen) who’s the spitting image of the fabricated Capt. Martin (and therefore ideal for ID photos). Montagu’s feckless brother, Ivor (Mark Gatiss), a known communist sympathizer, is suspected of being a Soviet agent; Godfrey therefore orders Cholmondeley to spy on Ewen (!) while they work together. Matters definitely get a bit breathless, which occasionally distracts from the fascinating development of the plan. Even so, historical accuracy and the top-notch cast prove — once again — that truth really is stranger than fiction. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http://derrickbang.blogspot. com.

Twitter treachery Dear Annie: I knew my husband had a Twitter account, and I thought he only followed groups. Then, one morning, I looked at his account and saw that he was following around 75 people. They included two women. I saw that he had been tweeting at one of those women between six and eight times

Legals@DavisEnterprise.net a day for several weeks. He said it’s not a big deal because they’re random people. Some of the memes were of rabbits on hump day. He also never mentions that he has a wife, but he did mention that it took him a month to paint his room. He did not mention that I was there, too. He managed to tell them what he did for a living and how he spends his weekends. He shared lots of personal stuff. In 24 years, this man never bothered with friends and never wanted people around. While this was happening, I thought everything was great. We even had a romantic getaway planned.

I feel different now. I really lost it, but I really love him. Am I making a big deal out of this? — Mountain out of a Mobile (Phone) Dear Mountain: Your feelings are your feelings, and if you feel betrayed by his Twitter account, then you feel betrayed. The fact that he shut you out while tweeting with other women, pretending to them as if you do not exist, is something the two of you must discuss. Your husband may think he is protecting you and that you don’t want to be on social media. As for his reasoning for leaving you

out — while he embraces other women electronically — you will never know why until you have a dialogue with him. Once you talk to him and sort through any

UCD roundup

Aggie men’s golf finishes strong at regional STOCKTON — The UC Davis men’s golf team finished in 11th place at the NCAA Stockton Regional, which was at The Reserve at Spanos Park on Wednesday. The Aggies fired a final round of 4-over 292 to finish the tournament with an even-864 at the par-72, 7,315-yard course. Mark Stephens ended up leading the Aggies with a t-27th finish, carding a final round of 2-over to finish 2-under for the tournament. Teammate Jacob Westberg followed tied for 34th with a 1-under 215, finishing his postseason with a 1-under 71. Starting on hole 10, Westberg was even on his front nine, hitting par on every hole and then fired three birdies to make up for the two bogeys to finish 1-under on the day. Thomas Hutchison, a senior, capped off his record-setting Aggie

career t-51st with a score of 3-over 219. He opened his final round in an Aggie uniform with a 2-under 34 on the front nine and finished the last round with an even-72. Lucas Carper finished t-58th with a 5-over 221 and teammate Alejandro Nava rounded out the Aggies t-65th with a 9-over 225. Arizona State won the tournament with a team score of 826. Stanford was second at 836 and Brigham Young 837.

UCD baseball SAN FRANCISCO — UC Davis (6-29) battled back from a two-run deficit to force extras against the San Francisco Dons, who went on to post a narrow 6-5 win in 10 innings Tuesday afternoon. Raul Sandovalwent 2-3 with two runs and a game-tying home run in

the ninth inning for the Aggies. James Williams III was 3-4 with an RBI and Omar Plascencia walked twice and scored once. The Aggies erased an early deficit in the third inning, when a ball put in play by Mark Wolbert was misplayed at first and allowed Plascencia to score. A single by Nick Leehey brought in Wolbert and J.D. Mico for a 3-1 lead through three innings. Trailing to 5-3 in the seventh, Williams III singled to center to drive in Sandoval and bring UC Davis within one and Sandoval followed in the ninth, blasting a 1-0, leadoff homer to left to tie the game at five. n To read the rest of UCD Roundup, visit www.davisenterprise. com and click on the Sports tab.

established has been the ability to balance a lot of different tasks at once. Being a student-athlete creates a lot of stress on its own, but a lot more gets added when you add doing jobs, running club meetings and being involved in the community. “In the classroom, I have also learned how to work with different kinds of people,” Sepp said. n To read the rest of Mike Bush’s column, visit www.davisenterprise.com and click on the Sports tab.

The Aggies tallied seven more runs that inning and defeated UC Santa Barbara 10-2. Hillman served a less defined role, earning praise for her willingness to enter the game in any situation and perform at different positions.

Speckman’s, Sepp’s paths to cross Saturday M ark Speckman is a proud graduate of Menlo College. Madilynn Sepp is graduating from the Bay Area college. Their paths will cross on Saturday. Speckman, who is the UC Davis football assistant head coach and running backs coach, will be the main speaker at Menlo College’s 94th commencement ceremony in Atherton. The ceremony is scheduled to start at 11 a.m. A 1974 graduate of Menlo College, which was a two-year private junior college and a fouryear business school at the time, Speckman played football for the Oaks. “My high school coach played

at Menlo and suggested that I go there,” said Speckman, who was born without hands. “I really enjoyed the school. I lived at home and commuted the first year.” In his second year at Menlo College, Speckman got a job that people may consider an unfavorable chore. “I got a job doing the athletic departments laundry and made enough money to pay for my room and board and live on campus in the dorms,” Speckman said. “Good football and good education. I am appreciative of the experience I had at Menlo.” He continued his education and college football career at Azusa College, where he earned

his bachelor’s degree in social studies. In 2011, Speckman returned to Menlo College as its new football head coach. But he stepped down in January 2012 to become the running backs coach for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canandian Football League. He was the offensive coordinator at Lawrence

University in Appleton, Wisc. before arriving at UCD in 2017. Since the early 1980s, Speckman has become a coaching legend. He ran the intricate Fly offense, where the fullback and tailback lines up side-by-side behind the quarterback, while the Flyback lines up behind a tight end, wide receiver, tackle or split out. Speckman’s first football head coaching job was at Livingston High, then Gilroy High. His most notable stop was at Merced High, where his Bears won six consecutive Central California Conference titles from 1988 to 1993 and played in five Sac-Joaquin Section Division I title games. His 1990 Merced football

Masters Track & Field

team won the mythical D-I state title, going 14-0. Davis High football fans may remember the 1988 D-I title game against the Bears at Modesto Junior College. The Blue Devils won 33-25. Speckman left Merced to start the new football program at Golden Valley High, which is Merced’s second public high school. The city has three today, as El Capitan High opened in 2013. The high schools are part of the Merced Union High School District, which include Livingston, Atwater and Buhach Colony, Atwater’s second high school. Sepp will earn her bachelor’s

Enterprise sports editor Ron and Mary Brown Stadium is going to be the site of one of the biggest high school track and field championships in Northern California this weekend. The CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Masters Track and Field Championship will be held at the stadium on the Davis High campus on Friday and Saturday. High school track and field teams north of Yuba City to south of LeGrand in Merced County will converge to the stadium after top finishers in in the section’s Divisions I through V meets last week. “Davis Athletics loves to host this event,” said Davis High Athletic Director Jeff Lorenson. “It has felt like an eternity since hosting last. Davis Athletics and the Sac Joaquin Section are working together to provide another great and memorable experience for studentathletes.” There was no Masters meet in 2021

because high school track and field teams in the section competed in a shorten spring season with no postseason due to the pandemic. The Masters was canceled in 2020 shortly after the start of the pandemic. This year’s Masters begin Friday at 2 p.m. with heats in the boys’ pole vault, girls’ high jump and boys’ discus. Running events begin at 4 p.m. with heats in the girls’ 4x100 race. Competitors who finish in the top eight in their trial events advance to Saturday’s finals. The finals begin at 2 p.m. with the boys’ pole vault, girls’ high jump and boys’ discus. The finals for running events begin at 5 p.m. with the girls’ 4x100 relay race. There is a combined 19 members from the Davis High boys and girls track and field teams competing in the trials, with hopes to advance in the top eight to advance to Saturday’s finals.

Enterprise correspondent With the bases loaded and the UC Davis softball team down 1-0 in the bottom of the second inning, Claudia Kim hit an RBI single to left field that tied the second game of the Aggies’ double-header with the University of Hawai’i on May 14. Then UCD (10-14 in the Big West Conference, 23-29) added two more runs in the inning on its way to defeat Hawai’i (2319, 17-10) 4-2 to sweep the doubleheader. A graduating senior, Kim’s RBI single was her final collegiate hit. That made it for a special moment according to UCD softball head coach Erin

Thorpe. “You always want to see them do well and succeed, but to have Claudia be able to play a vital role in being able to get a run in, and to have her see that and feel that, and just have that proud moment for herself was really awesome to see,” Thorpe said. Kim, along with senior Sierra Hillman, were honored on May 14, as the Aggies celebrated Senior Day. Hillman started at third base during the first game of the doubleheader before Kim took over the position in game two. Making a combined 17 starts for the Aggies this season, neither Kim nor Hillman were regular starters in UCD’s lineup.

Instead, both players were reliable reserves, giving Thorpe some flexibility off the bench. Kim was the team’s go-to pinch-runner, often being used in late-game situations when the Aggies were looking to tie the game or take the lead. “Claudia was probably our best pinch-runner in terms of going in the game when we needed to score,” Thorpe said. Thorpe called upon Kim’s baserunning abilities on April 30 when UCD was tied 2-2 with UC Santa Barbara in a Big West game in the bottom of the sixth inning. Following a leadoff double from freshman
